"General Zhang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" The first to speak was Yang Biao: "The Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, takes the scholars with virtue, and recommends the people of the state and county to filial piety and integrity. I don't think so! ”

"Yang Gong is too worried," Zhang Liao glanced at Yang Biao, who was staring at Yang Biao with menacing eyes: "If you do the imperial examination, why do you need to abolish the inspection, the two go hand in hand." ”

Yang Biao's momentum was frustrated, and he remembered that Zhang Liao said that he would carry out the imperial examination, but he did not say that the examination would be abolished, and his rebuttal was suddenly untenable.

At this time, another courtier spoke: "Inspecting the expedition to conquer filial piety and honesty, it is my ancestral system, how can it be violated, although the general has not abolished the inspection, but only by the imperial examination, I am afraid that a large number of talented and immoral people will pour into the court, flooding the state and county, so the world is in chaos." ”

Zhang Liao glanced at him and didn't speak, and Huangfu Li stood up on the side and refuted loudly: "This is a bad statement, it is difficult to test virtue in the imperial examination, but it can be done in the examination?" Don't you hear that there are songs and clouds today, showing talents, not knowing books, raising filial piety and honesty, not living in the father's house, and the inspection is man-made, people have likes and dislikes, feelings are far and near, and the name is false and real, how can it be as fair as the imperial examination, Li thinks that the imperial examination is better than the inspection, and it should be done quickly! ”

Zhang Liao nodded secretly, now that he is in a high position, that is, the old minister Yang Biao, who is highly virtuous, opened his mouth, and he replied, and the other courtiers asked, there is no need for him to make a move, and he has a cronies such as Huangfu Li to play the striker.

With the firing of Yang Biao and Huangfu Li, the court reversed the quiet situation just now and began to argue fiercely, and Zhang Liao, the original advocate, watched from the sidelines.

As a bystander, Zhang Liao saw the situation more clearly, and in this debate, most of the opponents were Kwantung courtiers from famous families, while most of the people who agreed were Zhang Liao's descendants and Kansai courtiers.

In the final analysis, the implementation of the imperial examination system has affected the Kanto family, and for the Kansai family, they have been excluded from the court for nearly a hundred years, and whether they can practice the imperial examination system or not has little impact on them.

Zhang Liao's imperial examination system was perfect and almost invulnerable, so the arguments held by those who opposed it were basically the same as Yang Biao's, that the examination could be moral, but the imperial examination could not.

Zhang Liao scoffed at this point, although this guy's argument seems to be lofty, but in fact it is vulnerable, as Huangfu Li said, if it is a fair and just inspection, it is natural to be able to examine virtue, but that is just the most ideal situation, people who have no preferences and preferences, especially when the inspection is controlled by the family, there is no fairness at all, and the so-called examination is just whitewashing.

Of course, the imperial examination can not be tested for virtue, virtue is the need for a reasonable system to restrict, the four rules of employing people, extensive, cautious, diligent education, strict rope, the imperial examination is extensive, after the imperial examination there is guidance, education, atmosphere establishment and system constraints, but the premise of these is to first recruit talents through the imperial examination, otherwise everything is nonsense without talents.

Moreover, Zhang Liao increased the weight of current affairs and policy theory in the imperial examination, and biased his theory towards state affairs, agricultural affairs, and people's sufferings in practice; if he can get high marks on these points, as long as the supervision and restraint are appropriate, there will be no problem in serving the government and administering and benefiting the party.

Zhang Liao, the initiator of the imperial examination, thought far more about these details and follow-up matters than the courtiers who refuted them, and as the debate followed, some courtiers were persuaded, but many of them were still red-faced and vehemently opposed.

Zhang Liao looked at them, most of them were from families, and many of them were inextricably linked with the Yuan family, once the imperial examination was implemented, it would impact their interests and completely break their monopoly in culture and politics, no wonder they refuted.

Zhang Liao naturally would not give up because of their opposition, in fact, Zhang Liao could have implemented the imperial examination in Hedong and the land of the state, so the resistance would be much smaller, but he did not do this, but took it to the court to discuss it, and implemented it through the imperial court, which would have great resistance, but it could really achieve Zhang Liao's goal.

The most direct effect of his implementation of the imperial examination is to recruit talents, but in fact, there is another biggest purpose, or a more important purpose than recruiting talents, that is, to break the increasingly powerful monopoly of the family in politics and change the tragedy of the family in power later in history.

Historically, after the Three Kingdoms, the Jin State dominated the world, if the Han Dynasty's ruling mode was continued, the northern nomads were not without resistance, but the Jin State chose the family politics, the gate lord was in power, there was no country with a family, the conflicts of interests of all parties were entangled, and the internal friction was endless, which exhausted the vitality of the Han people, and even caused a catastrophe for hundreds of years.

Now that Zhang Liao is promoting the imperial examination, those representatives of the family oppose it with the theory of virtue and want to turn the tide, but they don't know that Zhang Liao's fundamental purpose is to suppress them, and it is useless for them to oppose it.

In the course of this debate, everyone became more and more aware of the imperial examination system, and Zhang Liao saw that the time had come, so he turned his attention to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw Zhang Liao's signal, got up and saluted the Son of Heaven: "The minister thinks that the imperial examination system should be implemented." ”

Those who oppose can't help but change, including Dong Cheng, Cao Cao was the one he convened to check and balance Zhang Liao, and now he agrees, and the confidence of those who oppose is much weaker.

After Cao Cao, Liu Bei got up: "Governing the world is people-oriented, and the imperial examination system should be implemented." ”

As the two speak, it means that the debate is over, and it is time to express their position.

Soon, Shi Sun Rui, Zhou Zhong, Cai Yong, Tang Mao, Zhong Xuan, Bao Xin, Zhang Yang, Duan Xuan, Fu Wan and other ministers seconded the proposal one after another, agreeing to the system of imperial examinations.

Yang Biao and Kong Rong hesitated, but did not object, Dong Cheng did not stand up, and several people stood up to oppose it, and as they spoke out, a group of courtiers attached to them.

The ministers looked at Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, hesitated, looked at Zhang Liao, and those ministers also looked at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao looked around the court and said solemnly: "The imperial examination system is to recruit talents from all over the world, and virtue can be taught......"

He paused when he said this, and his voice became more softened: "The imperial examination is beneficial to the society and the world, no matter where you are born, you can serve the country, the court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight of the Tianzi Hall is bound to slightly damage the interests of the wealthy family, and the opponents are out of their own interests, which is understandable, but as a courtier, for the world, you can't abolish the public because of private interests, the imperial examination is imperative!" ”

He made the final decision, and said it so bluntly, that those who opposed it were dumbfounded, especially those who had this thought, and they did not know how to refute it for a while.

In fact, it was also because Zhang Liao was too well prepared, and suddenly proposed the imperial examination system, which caught the courtiers off guard, and those who opposed it couldn't think of too good reasons to oppose it for a while, and they used the theory of virtue that Yang Biao first put forward, which was untenable.

After Zhang Liao spoke, Liu Xie was silent, looked around the court, especially at Dong Cheng and the others, saw that they had no objections, looked at Zhang Liao again, and said: "In this way, according to what Zhang Qing said, the imperial examination system will be implemented." ”

Zhang Liao clenched his fists: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after several years of preparation, the imperial examination system finally began to be implemented, and it was implemented through the imperial court, which was justifiable, and a hundred times stronger than his original plan.

When the imperial court implemented it, the position of local opponents weakened by half, and Zhang Liao, who did not obey, could justifiably discuss it.
