Chapter 092: Between the two evils, only the lesser of them

――

Wei Zheng's "Seeking Merit Order" was widely distributed in the world, and immediately caused a strong shock among the scholars of the world, and the scholars of the world did not feel shocked, and the interesting thing is that among the scholars of the countries who read Wei Zheng's "Seeking Merit", some scholars who majored in virtue expressed strong reactionary feelings against the decree of "morality is useless, only talent is used, and only talent is used", especially the scholars of the Confucian faction criticized Wei Zheng for being a traitorous hero.

It can be said that the body that has been criticized is incomplete.

There are many voices of criticism and criticism from opponents, but there are also many voices of support, and these supporters are basically from poor backgrounds, and they are the opposite, but they do not hesitate to praise the monarch who defends the country regardless of his birth.

The reaction of the world's scholars gradually reached Wei Zheng's ears over time, and he didn't care about this situation, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Wei Zheng, who is well versed in it, naturally understands why supporters support it and why opponents oppose it.

Obviously, Wei Zheng's decree gave the world a chance to get ahead, and it also gave some people who have bad deeds in virtue and quality but have a talent in their chest and abdomen, and they want to establish a reputation to achieve fame, so it makes no sense not to support it.

Opponents are no exception, especially represented by the Confucian faction, under the concept of "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world", isn't it a vain study?

It was also Wei Zheng's expectation that the "Seeking Order" caused huge repercussions and discussions among scholars all over the world, after all, this is a concept that subverts an era, and it is inevitable and reasonable to be difficult to accept for a while.

Wei Zheng, as a person in two lives, naturally will not be old-fashioned and uninflexible, and no one knows the benefits and disadvantages of this "Talent Seeking Order" better than him.

The advantage lies in being able to help him quickly get talented people to help him govern the country, and now the righteousness of defending the country and changing the law should be a pass, and it is necessary to reform the lives of the old families and nobles of the country. Although Wei Zheng has mastered absolute force, he is even more iron-blooded, and the old clans naturally dare not oppose it on the surface, but it is inevitable that they will violate the yin and yang, and deceive the subordinates and conceal things, although there is a law, but after all, it is a way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause.

If this issue is not viewed carefully, if it is not handled well, it may make the great policy of changing the law of defending the country become a chicken rib, like the state of Chu.

No matter how perfect the law is, it can't be perfect, it can only be perfect, Wei Zheng will not underestimate the IQ of the old clans, they will always be able to pretend to be a loophole and get away with it.

The root cause is nothing more than the old family holding a hole card, that is, he Wei Zheng alone and relying on Ju Xin Su Qin and a few people can't govern a country, even if there are capable ministers like Ju Xin, it is impossible to do everything. In the future, if an edict comes out of the Song City, it will be a dead letter, and some will cry.

But as soon as the "Seeking Talent Order" came out, in a short period of time, it was completely worthless to make the hole cards that the old families of the country were proud of in advance, you must know that the Weiguo is now changing the law to implement the Yu Lu is very high, for some ambitious poor scholars, the treatment of Yu Lu is secondary, whether they can display their talents is the most important, and now the Wei Guo has given them a stage, and they will definitely rush to it.

In this way, with the assistance of foreign guests to check and balance, how can the old family not do their best? Do you still dare to have policies and countermeasures in the line of yin and yang? If you find out from the deception, you will inevitably be punished! The old clan is not self-sustaining, Wei Zheng has to use them to govern the country, but there are foreign scholars who come to defend the country, and your old clan can't do it, and someone can do it, so you can still govern the country well without you.

Obviously, the biggest benefit of Wei Zheng's "Seeking Talents" is that it broke the monopoly of the old clan in a short period of time, escorted the reform of the law, and prevented the old clan from "striking and not doing anything".

However, there are bound to be advantages and disadvantages, and no one knows the disadvantages of "Talent Seeking Order" better than Wei Zheng.

The disadvantage is that in the long run, there may be such a major event as usurpation, after all, let a group of talented and unvirtuous people occupy a high position, and over time it will inevitably swell, and the capable ministers of the world can also become traitors in troubled times in an instant.

Wei Zheng is not afraid of this stake, as long as he is in power for one day, even if you are a tiger, you have to lie down honestly, what I am afraid of is that you have no talent.

Having both ability and political integrity is the most perfect, but how many people can have such high requirements? And what is the demand?

Therefore, it is reasonable to choose the lesser of two evils.

Besides, after the popularization of paper and the completion of the initial literacy campaign, we will take advantage of the situation to implement an employment system similar to the selection of people through scientific examinations.

……

Shi's Mansion.

"Only the right moves, only the only to use the ......" Shi Lao looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, it was Wei Zheng's "Seeking Talent" that distributed the world, this old man Shi stared at the content of the "Seeking Talent" and muttered to himself, and Shi Geng sat on the ground on the side, and could only be silent.

In the end, seeing that Shi Lao threw the bamboo slips on the case table and was speechless for a long time, Shi Geng finally couldn't help it, so he said with a look of resentment and despair: "As soon as the "Seeking Talent Order" comes out, what is the place for me and the old family to turn over?" ”

"Defending the country, there is an unprecedented monarch......" Shi Lao on the seat looked at the bamboo slips on the desk and seemed to be a little distracted, how could Shi Hao, who was old and refined, not see that this "Recruitment Order" was aimed at them, the old family, it was as desperate as if the bottom of the kettle was drawn.

Who will dare to disobey in the future? Who else would dare not act? Who else dares to deceive the subordinates and disrupt the law?

It turns out that the prince didn't have the luxury of expecting the old clan to succumb to the change, and yes, if he couldn't even see this, he wouldn't be the iron-fisted monarch who dared to disobey the country.

It turned out that he expected that once the law was changed in the country, there would definitely be the old clan who would get in the way, and the temple would not work, so the people of the old clan would have to govern the place outside the temple capital, right? As long as you are in your position, you will be able to have a plan, a policy and a countermeasure. But as soon as the "Recruitment Order" came out, it was an unprecedented recruitment order that subverted the concept of scholars in the world.

There is a majestic majesty of the king of a country in the court, and the ministers dare not obey, and now there are foreign guests in the opposition who further squeeze the living space of their old clan, and they have not given them the slightest chance to fight back.

"Father, I can't go on like this, otherwise I will really die for the wealth and nobility of the old family." Shi Geng couldn't help but say, seeing Shi Lao's wooden for a while, Shi Geng's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Now he has made the whole country complain, and everyone is constantly resentful, if we and the old clan work together to do something big......"

said that it was too late and that was fast, just when Shi Geng was halfway through speaking, Shi Hao suddenly glared angrily, and actually grabbed the "Recruitment Order" on the case directly and smashed it at his own son, and Shi Geng, who was caught off guard, suddenly gave birth to a big bag on his forehead, and hugged his head and shouted "wow".

I saw Shi Haoping holding his old arm and pointing at Shi Geng, trembling, and shouted angrily: "Stupid-!" ”
