Sima Zhen sat on the throne, tucked the fox fur he was wearing, and looked around habitually, there was no one he was familiar with among the inner servants, and he was usually standing in the place where Dong Meng was standing at this moment, but Sun Xiu was standing, and he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart.

Sun Xiu stood beside Sima Zhen with his hands down, his eyes looking at his nose and his nose looking at his heart, his triangular eyes drooping, and he didn't say a word. Sima Yan was a little out of breath, and kept looking at the door of the hall anxiously. The forbidden army outside the hall guarded the corridor and stood straight one by one, but Sima Lun, who the two were looking forward to, did not appear for a long time.

Seeing that there was no familiar person around him, Sima Zhen turned his gaze to the ministers standing on His Majesty Dan as if asking for help. He suddenly discovered the abnormality, tonight the elders of the Wang, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao four major clans were all there, and even Wang Xiang and Wang Xiuzheng were as white as snow, trembling and standing in the first place.

The scholar clan is the joint name of the family and the valve reading, generally speaking, it is a famous family that has been an official for generations, and the prosperity and decline of the scholar clan are inseparable from the talent selection system. There are three main ways for Chinese feudal dynasties to select talents: the inspection system, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system and the imperial examination system.

The inspection system was pioneered by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the reign of Emperor Hui and Empress Lü was set as a common practice, while the Emperor Wen Dynasty formed a complete set of recommendation, selection and assessment system, mainly relying on officials at all levels to recommend local talents to enter the court as officials, and the virtue of the recommended person is the primary assessment focus. Compared with the Xia, Shang and Zhou eras, although the inspection system has made great progress, it has been implemented for a long time and has accumulated many drawbacks. First, it is necessary to rely on the self-discipline spirit of the officials responsible for recommending talents, and not to engage in malpractice for personal gain. Second, virtue is really a performance indicator that lacks standard answers, and it leaves opportunities for privacy fraud for officials who cannot self-discipline. Thirdly, the original intention of the probationary system was to "select" scholars who did not hold official positions, and to "select" those low-level officials, in order to reserve a way for the outstanding talents of the common class to rise. However, good intentions usually do not end well, because the privileged class will not let the fertile water flow into the fields of outsiders, as evidenced by the data, according to incomplete official statistics of the Jin Dynasty, three-quarters of those who were promoted at that time were current officials, resulting in the rejection of outstanding talents among the common Confucian scholars. Especially in the later period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, cronyism, wealth, and power, and the powerful and powerful people controlled the results of the inspection, which made the abuse full of evils, and the fundamental defects of the inspection system were exposed. However, the probationary system can be regarded as the first step of the long march in the selection of talents in the feudal dynasty.

After Cao Cao's son Cao Pi became the emperor, he followed the advice of Chen Qun, then the head of the organization (secretary of the ministry), and implemented the nine-product zhongzheng system. Second, the establishment of central officials at all levels is equivalent to the development and expansion of the ranks of organization ministers in the central government, provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, cities, prefectures, districts and counties; Third, the right to recommend and the right to appoint are separated, and the recommendation is the responsibility of the central official, and the selection and grading of talents are determined, and the administrative level of talents is determined by later generations. The power of appointment is in the Situ Mansion, and according to the administrative level, it is decided what stool should sit under the butt of the recommended talent, and there are mutual checks and balances and mutual supervision. On the surface, it seems more scientific and reasonable, but the people in power have their own set of operating methods to maximize the interests of choice, that is, to put virtue and talent in the position of zero and zero, and the family background naturally becomes the 1 in front of the decimal point. There are 401 people who can be examined by the Gaomen clan of the Jin Dynasty, and there are even 174 people who have not even gone through the organizational procedures, and who are directly to Guijialang and Dudden Tianzitang.

The scholar clan is the elite class gradually formed under the background of this talent selection system, and the Langya Wang clan, the Chen Jun Xie clan, the Chen Jun Yuan clan, and the Lanling Xiao clan are the predators in the Shi clan. Especially the Langya Wang family, which was later even called the world with Sima. The Jiupin Zhongzheng system was finally replaced by the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Wang and Xie in the poem "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, flying into the homes of ordinary people" refers to the Wang family and Xie family and other gate valves, which are all later words.

And the old man Wang Xiang is the most outstanding representative of the Langya Wang family of the Dashi clan, and the twenty-four filial piety lies on the ice and begs for the carp, and treating the stepmother is the glorious deeds of this god. He is called a man of God because he is miraculous. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Wang Xiang went to Lujiang as a hermit for more than 20 years, and no one came to invite him to be an official; Xuzhou Thorn Shi Lu Qian used an ox cart to pick up Wang Xiang (at that time was a very good thing to be picked up by an ox cart, more than the modern extended Lincoln) to be a deputy---- don't drive, Wang Xiang arrived and led the army to destroy the rampant bandits at that time, so the state was quiet and quiet, and the government decree and education were also carried out unhindered. The common people sang his praises: "Haiyi's health depends on Wang Xiang." The state is not empty, don't drive it; He was revered as the third elder by the fourth emperor of Cao Wei (the heart of Sima Zhao through the ages, and the original known to passers-by), and sat on the top to give lectures to the emperor; After Sima Zhao killed the emperor Cao Chao, only Wang Xiang grabbed the sky and the earth for Cao Chao, and in the end, not only was he fine, but he was promoted; Sima Zhao proclaimed himself the king of Jin, and Xun Yi, who was also the third duke, immediately bowed down when he saw it, but Wang Xiang just arched his hand to say hello, but Sima Zhao was flattered: "I only know today how much you value me!" (The emperor said: "Today Fang Zhijun sees the importance of Gu!") ”）； Emperor Wu Sima Yan praised Wang Xiangde for his high esteem and can be regarded as a spiritual idol (Gao Xing, the patriarch of Taibao, and the one who relied on the political Tao of Yilong). All of this, too numerous to mention, Wang Xiang has become not only the totem and symbol of the Wang family, but the entire Shi clan, playing the role of the spokesperson of the Shi clan, is a heavyweight, and will not appear in the court meeting easily.

Although Sima Zhen is stupid, he still has basic common sense, Wang Xiang has been invited, there must be a earth-shaking event, is it possible to abolish himself? Otherwise, why did the four major clans gather together for such a big battle? Behind them is the entire bureaucracy, thinking of this, Sima Zhen cried, not the kind of crying silently, but crying, the fat trembling all over his body, looking at Wang Xiang with a handful of snot and tears: "Suiling Gong saves me, Suiling Gong saves me。。。。。。。 ”

"Why is Your Majesty sad? Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, Your Majesty said slowly, the old minister will fight this remnant, and he will not allow others to bully and humiliate Long live. Wang Xiang is also like falling into the clouds, and he doesn't know what to do: "Didn't you send a holy decree to summon us?" It was also specifically stated that leave of absence was not permitted. But Sima Zhen cried like an innocent white, which aroused Wang Xiang's protector's heart.
