In the spring of 302 AD, the Jin Dynasty summoned the subjects and vassal kings of the world, and Sima Ying, the king of CD, did not obey the edict and transferred the fiefdom army into Beijing without permission, intending to rebel, strip the fiefdom of military power, and confine Jin Yongcheng. The crime of Zhang Bin, the leader of the Yu party, cannot be punished, although he has been punished, all the three clans have been given death to set an example. Taiwei Yang Ji had a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion of the CD king, but because of the unauthorized killing of the elders and ministers of the Shi clan, the criminal department punished the merits according to the law. Subordinate persons, etc. Yang Ke, the supervisor of the army, made great contributions to Sheji, successively pacified the Jiahou rebellion and the Xiongnu border troubles, inherited the title of Marquis of Linjin from his father, entered the Central Council, and praised military affairs.

This edict spread to the world along the post road, indicating that the imperial court once again passed the great crisis of border troubles and the seizure of power by the vassal kings, and the court bureau also officially entered the central council from Yang Ke, announcing the advent of an era. The scholars were greatly injured in this struggle, the four major scholars except for the Langya Wang clan, none of them were spared, the court removed the official position of Taiwei Yang Ji, and buried the scholars who died of unfatalities, which was regarded as a slap in the face to the remaining party that was not affected, and gave a sweet date, from then on, it was difficult for the scholars to control the situation.

However, within half a year, more than a dozen vassal kings have asked for the abolition of the army under their rule, and the imperial court praised and rewarded many honors, taking this opportunity, many newly appointed military attaches of the imperial court were sent to all parts of the country, taking over a large number of vassal kings' armies, and constantly enriching and expanding the army that began to be dismantled in the era of Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, and took the lead in realizing the great unification of the central government in military power.

In the largest lobby of Guozijian, seventy-nine scholars who had been admitted to the first course were sitting neatly, and they were all looking at Yang Ke, a well-known figure in front of them who was handsome and even much younger than many people here. Liu Ling coughed: "Today is the first day of the class of my country's Zijian, and Lord Yang of the Central Academy, who is also the initiator of this centralized teaching, specially went to Guozijian to give you the first class. ”

The scholars were silent, seeing that Yang Ke did not sit cross-legged like the general academy teachers taught, he walked to a large wooden board above the pulpit that was painted with black lacquer, holding a white hard object made of unknown materials, and began to sketch on the wooden board without saying a word, the scholars couldn't help but be aroused with strong curiosity, staring at Yang Ke with good eyes, but after a cup of tea, a map jumped on the board, and Yang Ke wrote a long list of place names in it one by one. Whenever they saw the name of their hometown appear, the scholars whispered excitedly.

After drawing this map, Yang Ke was afraid of patting the white ash in his hand and asked, "Can anyone tell me what is drawn on the wooden board?" ”

The voices of all the scholars were uneven, but they replied unanimously: "The territory map of the Great Jin Dynasty." ”

"That's right, the Great Jin Territory Map. Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world has inherited the rules of the state, county, and county regions

system, the world is divided into Si, Henan, Yan, Qing, Xu, Hebei, You, and, Yong, Liang, Jing, Yang 12 states, after the destruction of Shu Han divided into Liangzhou. In 265, after Cao Wei of the Western Jin Dynasty, Qinzhou was set up in the three states of Yong, Liang and Liang, Ningzhou was set up in Yizhou, and Pingzhou was set up in Youzhou. In 280, after the destruction of Sun Wu, he obtained the four states of Jing, Yang, Jiao and Guangzhou, and merged the two states of Jing and Yang with the original Cao Weijing and Yang states, a total of 19 states. Qinzhou and Ningzhou were abolished and later replaced. In 291, Jiangzhou was set up in Jing and Yangzhou, so far a total of 21 states. The state is divided into counties and kingdoms. In order to prevent the usurpation of the throne by the ambitious clan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty formulated a sub-feudal system, and the kings of the country were sealed according to the size of the population, and there were three types: large countries, sub-kingdoms, and small countries. But the kings were only taxed, and the kingdoms were like counties. The military power of the kings comes mainly from the land of the town. Counties and kingdoms are counties. The big ones in the county are ordered, and the small ones are put in the long. As for the principality and the marquis, their status is the same as that of the county. Yang Ke talked eloquently, like a number of treasures, and the scholars listened to it as if they were drunk. Many of the children of the poor family are poor and do not listen to the things outside the window to read the dead books, and the geographical shape and the origin of mountains and rivers have always been the professional category of emperors and generals in ancient times, ordinary children do not talk about contact, and have not even heard of it, so there is a saying that they read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

"Today, everyone should keep this picture firmly in their minds, because, at the end of this half-year intensive coursework, you will be sent to various parts of my Great Jin Dynasty as the first batch of officials selected for the imperial examination in the history of the imperial court, and you will be the parents of the people. If we don't even know what our world looks like, what can we talk about governing the world? ”

Yang Ke looked at the scholars who were engrossed in front of him, and continued to talk eloquently: "Master Liu just said that I am the initiator of this coursework, and I am not modest to say that this is true. I know that all of you here have a lot of questions in your minds, you are all disciples of saints who have read the books of sages for many years, since you have won from hundreds of scholars, you can just be sent out to be officials, why bother to do some half-year schoolwork? And, what is this assignment about? Do you want to move on to the doctrine of the saints? ”

There was a commotion among the scholars, and many people looked at each other, and it could be seen that Yang Ke had said something on their minds.

"Don't talk about you, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the Queen Mother have questions, the imperial court is in urgent need of employing people now, why do you need to strand good talents in Kyoto for half a year, wasting time. I just want to ask you one question, does anyone know what governs the place? ”

"Relying on the doctrine of Confucian sages...

"Relying on the Legalist Way 。。。。。"

"By the forgiveness of loyalty to the king and love for the people。。。。。"

Yang Ke smiled, looked at the scholars, incomprehensible, until no one spoke, then said: "You see, this question, each of you gives a different answer, if it is good, it is called the benevolent, the wise see the wise, and it is not good, it is called the frog at the bottom of the well, sitting in the well and watching the sky, everyone only adheres to the words of the family, copying the teachings of the sage, a plate of scattered sand, such a big world, one day you will each become an official in a place, in charge of local power, and bear the responsibility of managing the people, Even the idea of governance cannot be unified, as the so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the individual acts recklessly, isn't the imperial court taking a great risk to let you take the people's blessings, blessings, honors and disgraces to practice learning? If the crops are not planted well this year, they can be replanted next year, and if the people are not well managed this year, they may not be able to come again next year. Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon for people who do not govern, govern indiscriminately, administer disorderly, and even commit tyranny and abuse of government。。。。。 ”
