"Zixiu, what is the imperial examination? What tricks does Chang'an's contemptible husband want to play? ”

Cao Cao sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at the eldest son Cao Ang, who was chasing from Xuchang all the way, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously. The whole book

Cao Ang is twenty-seven years old, and he is born with a Xuan Yu and a calm demeanor.

"Father, this imperial examination ...... But it can't be said in one sentence. Ten days earlier, Dong had issued a decree on the imperial examination in Chang'an. The fine work was immediately sent to Xuchang. Six days ago, the second brother and Xun Shi Hou Ba sent a detailed decree on the imperial examination. After Xun Shaofu saw it, he fainted on the spot...... After waking up, he urgently ordered the child to hurry up 800 miles to catch up with his father. Here are the details about the imperial examination. ”

Xun, actually fainted?

What a calm person he is, no matter what happens, he always seems very calm, and he will never show his joy and anger on his face.

Not only Cao Cao, but also the strategists, including Lu Su Xun You and others, looked at each other one by one.

Could it be that this imperial examination decree is what kind of conspiracy?

Here, it is necessary to briefly explain the method of selecting talents since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Before the Qin Dynasty, Zhou ruled the world by sealing the country, and the electors also relied on the hereditary system. Zhou Li, the class of society is extremely distinct. The state has the son of heaven, princes, secretaries, and scholars who are responsible for it at different levels. And all strata, according to morality, according to blood relations, to hereditary positions until the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were scholars who were free from the system accidents, such as guest and diners, who were worried about the main share. As a result, there is a saying that Meng Weijun has 3,000 diners. Some of these people are dilapidated aristocrats, but most of them are mainly poor families living at the bottom.

The First Emperor swept through the Six Kingdoms and implemented centralized power.

For the emperor, in order to select talents from the people, a probation system was established. Characters with both ability and moral integrity are recommended by each locality. The nature of the scholars recommended by the state level, named Xiucai, and later Xiucai); Those who are recommended by the county. It's called filial piety.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to ensure the ability of the people who are examined, the system of joint sitting has been implemented.

That is to say, if you are recommended if you do not have real talents, once it is found out, the referee will also be implicated.

This system, on the one hand, guarantees the talent of the person being promoted, but on the other hand. As a result, the power of the family has become stronger and stronger. The officials in the court have an inseparable relationship with the family, and can even be described as both prosperity and loss.

Think about it, if you have nothing to do with me, why should I bother to recommend you?

It has nothing to do with me that you are soaring, but I will be unlucky if you are unlucky. Therefore, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a saying that the officials were all from the family. Capable of. And if there is no background, it is difficult for a poor scholar to have a bright future. And those family door valves, also because of this method of sitting. Make it stronger and stronger. In the end, a situation was formed that even the emperor could not control.

By the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the power of the clan was already extremely strong.

After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, without the support of the clan lords, the princes of all parties would not even be able to gain a firm foothold. For example, the former Jizhou Mu Hanfu, that was a serious official appointed by the imperial court. However, Yuan Shao was able to easily overthrow Han Fu, relying on the strength of Han Fu's clan.

Another example is Dong Zhuo and Dong's father and son......

Dong Zhuo sits in Luoyang and has the name of righteousness. However, the gate lords of the Dishi clan headed by Yuan Shao were unwilling to recognize him, and he would face an embarrassing situation where no one was available; And Dong is even more so, when he first arrived in the Western Regions. There are only a few strategists under your hands, right?

Dong Zhuo's death, as well as the first Chang'an Rebellion, are all a counterattack of the clan.

When Dong has no choice, he can only suppress it by killing. Fortunately, he has the foundation of Sanxue, otherwise he would be really troublesome. Same situation. Liu Bei and Sun Ce also had to rely on the slaughter and suppression of the clan to barely gain a foothold. That Liu Biao has to rely on the family to make Jingzhou calm...... The control of the world clan over the situation in the world is enough to see some clues.

At the end of August of the fourth year of Taiping, Dong had been planning for the imperial examination for ten years. Finally, the mysterious ground veil was lifted to the world.

Whoever is the son of the three learnings. After graduating from the county school, regardless of age. Regardless of background, no recommendation is required, and you can freely participate in the imperial examination. In addition, scholars from all over the country, regardless of whether the state or county to which they belong are in Guanzhong or not, can take the exam in the nearest state or county under the rule of Guanzhong.

Students who have graduated from the third school are called Guozi; Scholars who belong to the non-three schools are called shengtu and are allowed to take the imperial examination.

Chengming Hall is divided into a part, called the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of the imperial examination and appointment and dismissal, and Shi Tao of Dahonglu serves as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The examination subjects are divided into two types: regular subjects and system subjects, and the regular subjects are held in installments every year; There is an edict of the emperor to temporarily hold the place called the system, which can also be called Enke. The meaning is that this is the emperor's grace to the scholars of the world, and the admission can be a protégé of the Son of Heaven.

There are more than 20 kinds of regular branches.

In addition to the subjects that scholars are more concerned about, such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, and Jinshi, there are also subjects such as Ming Law, Ming Calculation, and Ming Characters.

Among them, the people taken by the Jinshi Division can enter the Chengming Palace.

The imperial examination is divided into spring and autumn examinations, which are held twice a year. The so-called spring boudoir, as the name suggests, is a scientific expedition held in spring. Take the test in the examination hall under the jurisdiction of each county. The top three are collectively referred to as lifters, and when they take the autumn exam, they can enter Chang'an for the big exam.

Therefore, the Chang'an Autumn Test can also be called the Tianzi Test.

The first name is called the champion, the second name is called the list eye, and the third name is Tanhua. The first subject of scholars, a total of 30, should be famous for the emperor's list, into the Chengming Palace. And the fallen scholar also has two choices. First, you can start from the basics in various ministries or yamen; The second is to apply for the next year and start over. Those who fail in the first year can receive subsidies from the imperial court to help the poor study.

The list sent by Chang'an Xizuo only revealed a vague concept.

However, in the materials sent by Cao Pi and others later, there was a detailed imperial examination system and methods for selecting scholars. With a total of more than 10 pages and 137 rules and regulations, it can be said that the specific implementation methods of the imperial examination are described in great detail and thoroughly.

Cao Cao clenched his teeth and was speechless for a long time!

"Prime Minister. What's going on? ”

Lu Su and the others stepped forward to ask, but Cao Cao didn't answer, but just threw the strip Chen in his hand to Lu Su. Lu Su took it and read it out loud. At first, Lu Su's voice was still very loud, but gradually, gradually, his voice became smaller and smaller.

In the big tent of the Chinese army. Whether it was a civil servant or a military general, he gasped at the same time.

After Lu Su finished reading, Xun You couldn't help but say: "No wonder Wen Ruo will suddenly pass out after reading this list." ”

Is this a common exam?

It's clearly the life-killing sticker of the family door valve! As soon as this move comes out, the foundation on which the family gate valve relies to grow and survive will be destroyed.

Lu Su Xun You and others are quite generous, and at this time, they can't help but look at each other.

What's more, there are some people in this big tent. The eyeballs are rolling around, I don't know what to think in this heart?

Long. Cao Cao got up.

He was in a state of rejoicing, and walked out of the big tent with his sleeves flicked up.

Autumn is crisp and the weather is good...... A round of scorching sun hung high in the sky, and Cao Cao's face was cloudy, looking at the blue sky blankly.

"Prime Minister?"

Only Cao Pengshang followed closely, and seeing that he was unstoppable, Cao Peng couldn't help but scream in a low voice.

Cao Cao shuddered and stopped. He turned his head to look at Cao Peng, and smiled bitterly after a while, "I often thought." The reason why Dong can have today's situation is his luck. In terms of the art of war, I may not lose to him; In terms of strategy, I'm afraid that if it's a Dong, it's not my opponent. Today, however, ...... That imperial examination...... That imperial examination...... It's wonderful! I'm not as good as him. For the first time, I felt that it was inferior to him. ”

Cao Peng didn't know how to persuade Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao seemed to be talking to himself, "First provoke the Kwantung War, and he will profit from it." The imperial examination is now promulgated. Let the people return to their hearts. I thought about it for a long time. I want to find a way out for the people. didn't think about it, but he came up with such a clever trick. I'm really inferior to him. ”

Once upon a time, Cao Peng had seen Cao Cao so depressed? Such a gaffe?

couldn't help but say: "Prime Minister, since we have seen Na Dong's tricks, we can have a way to deal with it." ”

"Coping? And how to deal with it? Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "Dong is making an upright move, is it possible that I can still prevent the scholars under my rule from taking the exam?" I got one or two, ten hundred...... But there are so many people in the world who read. Dong Xiping first sold books cheaply, and he has won the hearts of the scholars; Now that he has given hope to the scholars, how can he put an end to it? ”

"This ......" Cao Peng was speechless.

Cao Cao said: "Look at it, the big exam next year may not be too sensational." But as long as there is a concubine on the damn emperor list, in the next year, everyone in the world will return to their hearts. It won't take ten years for all the talents in this world to enter the hub of that contemptible husband.

Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"I can destroy Dong in three years!"

Cao Peng is an honest person, but being honest does not mean that he is stupid. On the contrary, Cao Peng also saw it clearly at some times. Kill Dong in three years? Yi Dong now occupies the land of Xichuan in Guanzhong, and his territory in Wangbei County in Mobei in the Western Regions is more than the total territory of the princes of all parties. Guanzhong is fertile, rich in money and food, and has a population larger than the total population of the princes of all parties.

As long as Dong is still there, don't say three years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it in thirty years.

Cao Cao suddenly laughed, "However, even if Dong Xiping succeeds in the scientific examination, I may not lose to him." Hehe, I can't attack him, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out. ”

"Oh?"

"Don't forget, under the command of the contemptible husband, there are also clan gate valves. He is afraid that it will be very tricky for a while. ”

Cao Cao seemed to have figured it out and became excited.

He led Cao Peng back to the big tent of the Chinese army, and then stabilized the center of the Wenchen generals, and the army continued to drive towards Yan County.

However, Cao Cao found Cao Ang and ordered him to rush back to Xuchang immediately.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter, saying that he asked Cao Ang to hand it over to Xiahou Yuan. But while delivering the letter, he winked.

It was a look that only Cao Ang could understand.

Cao Ang left the camp, whipped his horse, and went straight to Xuchang.

That night, he stayed overnight in sour dates. After sending his guards out, Cao Ang sat alone on the couch in the post house, lit the candle, and opened the so-called letter from Cao Cao to Xiahou Yuan. There are two letters, one for Xiahou Yuan and one for Cao Ang.

Taking a deep breath, Cao Ang unfolded the letter paper, and after glancing at it, his face changed greatly.

"Zixiu, immediately order your henchmen to go to Chang'an, and order Pi, Ba, and Shi to stay in Chang'an temporarily, waiting for the spring and autumn tests of the coming year!"

Cao Ang was stunned all of a sudden!

Father, what do you mean by that?
