Chapter 353: Ma Chao dies

In August of the thirteenth year (200) of Emperor Jian'an, Ma Yue's class returned to the dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info\, QB5. c0m//

The next day, Deyang Hall.

There was a separate chair in front of the hundred official classes, but it was given to the prime minister by the Son of Heaven to sit, and Ma Yue sat on it with his eyes slightly closed.

Hundreds of officials are raging, coinciding with the annual court meeting, and there are many people who return to the dynasty to report on their work, such as Jizhou Thorn History Trial, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Xin Commentary, and Zhou Thorn Shi Xinbi, Youzhou Thorn Shi Fengji, Shuozhou Thorn Shi Fu Grant, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Fu, Yongzhou Thorn Shi Fazhen, Yizhou Thorn Shi Zhang Song, Sizhou Thorn Shi Gaogan and other local officials are also impressively listed.

In the civil official class, Jia Xu made a look, and the Jizhou Assassin Shi judged the understanding, and went out of the class to play: "Your Majesty, the minister has this performance." ”

The Son of Heaven solemnly said, "What did you play?" ”

The judge said: "Under the rule of Jizhou, there are six vacant county guards in the ten counties and three countries, two ministers of state, and one hundred and sixty-seven counties under the rule of each county and one hundred and nine vacancies of county commanders (chiefs), such a huge official vacancy has seriously affected the accessibility of Jizhou's government decrees and social stability. ”

"The minister has his own music."

"The minister also has a play."

"Your Majesty, the minister also has this music."

The voice of the trial fell, and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Xin Comment, Bingzhou Thorn Shi Xinbi, and Youzhou Thorn Shi Fengji also came out of class one after another and knelt on the ground.

The Son of Heaven asked, "What is the play?" ”

Xin commented: "There are seven county guards in Qingzhou, and ninety-six county magistrates. ”

Feng Ji said: "There are five county guards in Youzhou, and seventy-nine county magistrates. ”

Xin Bi said: "There are three county guards in the state vacancy, and thirty-six county magistrates. ”

"This ......" the Son of Heaven couldn't help but turn his gaze to Situ Kongrong and said. There are 23 vacancies in the four prefectures of Hebei, He, You, and Qing, and more than 300 county magistrates, and the newly designated official gaps in Yan, Henan, Xuzhou, Huainan, and Lujiang counties are even more serious. ”

Kong Rong was puzzled: "Your Majesty, there are only thirty-nine officials in the court. ”

Kong Rong's voice fell, and the corners of Ma Yue's mouth couldn't help but have a sneer.

Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the wars in the Kanto prefectures have been endless, and the local scholars in various prefectures and counties have either died in military disasters or have been exiled to Luoyang, Gyeonggi, so that Luoyang has become a gathering place for the world's scholars in the late Han Dynasty. However, unfortunately, Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei disrupted Beijing twice and wantonly killed and poked the Beijing sergeant clan, which constituted a devastating blow to the power of the Shi clan's gate lords.

Since then, the Kwantung region has fallen into continuous wars, and by the time Ma Yue pacified Huainan, the number of Kwantung scholars had disappeared. Most of those who were lucky enough not to die in the military disaster also fled to Jiangdong, Jingzhou and other places. Only the relatively stable Yizhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou scholars did not decrease but increased the number, but Cao Zhen and Sun Quan could not let the scholars of Jing and Yangzhou come to Luoyang to become officials. Ma Yue will not let the Yizhou Shi clan out of Xichuan.

Now, the Luoyang Imperial Court is facing the dilemma of having no land to expropriate. Even among the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, there are many official vacancies. Not to mention the magistrates of the states and counties, it is obvious that there is no choice but to open a department and choose an official.

"What?" The Son of Heaven lost his voice. "There are only thirty-nine officials in the court? Even if all these 39 people are released, it will not be able to fill such a huge gap in officials in the Kanto prefectures and counties, how can this be good? ”

Jia Xu glanced at him again, and Guanglu Xunqing Chen Qun understood, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have countermeasures to make up for the shortage of officials in various counties. ”

"Oh, what's the solution?" The Son of Heaven said happily, "Aiqing come quickly." ”

Chen Qun said: "I am glad to hear that there are 800 disciples in Qingzhou Confucian Guan Ning, in Shuozhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou Guangkai Museum, preaching and teaching, it has been more than ten years, and now there are more than thousands of people in Guanzhong, why doesn't Your Majesty issue an edict to select its virtuous people and send the counties and counties in Guandong as county guards and county commanders?" In this way, it can not only enhance the enthusiasm of the world's scholars to study, but also solve the vacancy of local officials, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Chen Qun's voice fell, Kong Rong hurriedly went out of class and knelt under the golden steps, and objected sharply, "Although there are many scholars in Guanzhong, most of them are from humble backgrounds, they are commoners, and they are different from ancient scholars, how can they be generalized?" If a large number of people are hired as officials, not only is it inconsistent with etiquette, but also where is the face of the corporal in the world? ”

Kong Rong's voice fell, and hundreds of officials in the court nodded one after another, and there was a great tendency to go out of class to second.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Ma Yue suddenly stood up and shouted: "Kong Rong! ”

Ma Yue's voice was like a thunderbolt exploding on the Golden Palace, and the discussion of hundreds of officials stopped abruptly, and the entire hall was as silent as death, and almost everyone's eyes fell on Ma Yue. In ordinary court discussions, Ma Yue rarely expresses his opinions, and even if he expresses his opinions, he speaks softly, but today he suddenly spoke violently, and all the officials were immediately shocked.

Kong Rong couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in his heart, and reluctantly hugged his fists and said, "What does the prime minister have to say?" ”

Ma Yue said unhurriedly: "I think Lord Chen's suggestion is very reasonable, but what does Lord Situ think?" ”

After saying this, Ma Yue slowly turned around, faced the civil and military officials in the main hall, and asked lightly: "What do you adults think?" ”

Henan Yin Zhong stepped out of the class, knelt on the ground and played: "Your Majesty, the minister fully supports what Lord Chen said. ”

"The minister supports what Lord Chen discusses."

"The minister also supports it."

"Ministers support ......"

The sound of the bell fell, and the assassins of various states came out of class to kneel above Dan, and even the Chinese military officials of the dynasty also knelt down for more than half, Kong Rong looked back and sadly found that in addition to Sikong Kong Ling, Shang Shucai, Shilang Zhen Yi and other Liao Liao people, most of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces had chosen to bow under the majesty of the minister.

The Son of Heaven was afraid that Kong Rong and Kong Ling would not know the times and admonish each other with death, so he hurriedly said: "In this case, I will play accurately." ”

"Your Majesty."

Ma Yue turned around and arched his hand to the Son of Heaven, and turned to take his seat.

The Son of Heaven said to Chen Qun again: "Chen Aiqing, there are no less than thousands of well-educated people in this pass, but there are only hundreds of vacant officials, I don't know how this official should be selected?" ”

"Exams." Chen Qun replied without thinking, "Open the department!" ”

"Open a school?" The Son of Heaven was puzzled, "How to open a department?" ”

Chen Qundao: "Civil officials are selected to open liberal arts, and take Confucianism, law, Gewu, and arithmetic. Military attachΓ©s are selected to open martial arts, test technical combat, archery, horsemanship, and the art of war, and set up three lists of heaven, earth, and people in the liberal arts and martial arts, and each list takes a hundred, and the heavenly list is given to the Jinshi and the first, and the earth list is given to the Jinshi background, and the people are given the same Jinshi background......"

Chen Qun talked about the method of opening a branch and taking scholars agreed upon after a secret discussion with Jia Xu and Li Su last night.

Although the Son of Heaven and the Manchu Dynasty heard it freshly but it was also clear, as far as the opening of the department itself was concerned, it was indeed the fairest mode of official selection, but the only thing that made the hundred officials unacceptable was that. Once this method of selecting officials is implemented, the scholars will forever lose their noble status and will have to sit on an equal footing with the common people.

The only people who are respected will become the only people who read books.

In fact, Chen Qun's offering to Ma Yue was to curry favor with La

Extreme. And Ma Yue himself came up with the imperial examination system to suppress and weaken these two methods, although they are far from each other, and their attitudes towards the scholars are even more different, but the purpose is the same, that is, to push Ma Yue to the throne of God.

The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is to curry favor with the scholars, in order to safeguard the interests of the scholars in exchange for the support of the scholars.

The imperial examination system is to support scholars from humble backgrounds to ascend to the top in exchange for the support of scholars from all over the world.

Before the Horse Leap. The scholars are almost all the scholars in the world. The scholars in the world are the scholars. The two are combined into one, and can be after Ma Yue occupies Guanzhong. The situation has changed radically. As the saying goes, if you don't have business, you won't be rich. Ma Yue spared no effort to support the development of industry and commerce. As a result, the living conditions of the people in Guanzhong have been greatly improved.

After having a life of abundance. The children of the poor family also have the material foundation for studying, and the eight hundred disciples of Guan Ning are blooming everywhere to set up private acquaintances. In the end, tens of thousands of poor students appeared in Guanzhong. In particular, after Fu and Fa Zheng first tried to open a science and select local officials from among the scholars in Yong and Liang Prefectures. The enthusiasm for reading among the children of poor families is even higher than ever.

Until now, the Shi clan has withered away due to war. However, thousands of scholars from poor families have appeared because of the great rule of Guanzhong, and under the advantages of one another, poor students have occupied an overwhelming numerical advantage. The conditions for the implementation of the imperial examination are fully ripe, which is also the biggest reason why Ma Yue dared to ignore the opposition of the world's corporal clans and resolutely implement the imperial examination system!

As long as Ma Yue firmly holds the power with the army. After surviving the first few years, the children of the poor families who were born in the imperial examination gained a firm foothold in the officialdom of various states, counties, and counties. The remnants of the Shi clan under Ma Yue's rule can't afford to make any waves! As the saying goes, the economic foundation determines the political system, and now that the level of economic development in Guanzhong has made the vast majority of poor children can afford to study, then the implementation of the imperial examination system will be a matter of course.

Due to Prime Minister GΓΆphi's high-profile support, the vast majority of officials chose to defect to support GΓΆtt because of GΓΆng's authority.

Major generals and officials such as Situ Kongrong, Situ Kongling, Shang Shucai, and Shilang Zhen Yi were fiercely opposed. But it is difficult to support alone, and finally the Son of Heaven issued an edict to all counties and counties across the country, but anyone who wants to seek fame, whether from the scholar clan or from the Shu clan, whether it is a scholar or a martial artist, can enter Beijing to take the test, and the date of "Autumn Moon" is set in late October.

The first chief examiner was naturally Ma Yue himself.

The position of the chief examiner is really important, although Ma Yue has no culture, but when he was a child, he watched Yue Opera or watched a lot of places, and knew that after entering Beijing to catch the exam, he wanted to worship the teacher, and the teacher in the play would generally be the prime minister, so that the new champion became the prime minister's protΓ©gΓ©, and these protΓ©gΓ©s were very loyal to the prime minister.

Imagine, if all the officials in the world are from Prime Minister Ma Yuemen, will there be any obstacles for Ma Yue to become emperor in the future?

In addition to the trial implementation of the imperial examination system, the Son of Heaven also issued an edict to Jin to enshrine Ma Yue as the king of Liang, increasing the number of households by 100,000, and hundreds of officials in the court and the central government defected again, although Kong Rong, Kong Ling and others resolutely opposed, but they were unable to return to heaven.

In June, Cao Zhen adopted Zhuge Liang's strategy to instigate the rebellion of the barbarians in southern China, and the five groups of Yongchang, Jianning, Yueshan, and Qiqi in the south of Yizhou were all opposed. Fanwang Meng Ke (Meng Shou's father. Apocryphal) commanded 100,000 soldiers to conquer more than a dozen cities, and the troops approached the subject country of Shu County, and there were many rebellions in the western Zhuqiang, raising troops to connect with the Southern Barbarians, and the army was huge.

In July, the Shu general Zhang Ren marched to Nanzhong, because of the hot weather, water and soil unadaptable. There are many people who are sick. Lost.

……

Luoyang, Liangwangfu.

Chinese New Year's Eve. It's time for the family to reunite. The Liangwang Mansion is lit up. The servants and servants shuttled back and forth. is busy and happy in the golden hall. Ma Yue sat in the robe of the Dragon King.

There was a crowd outside the gate. Dozens of famous concubines and more than 100 children of Ma Yuedi were neatly arranged.

There are hundreds of women in Ma Yuedi, but most of them are three concubines with no identity, no status and no children. Naturally, he is not qualified to appear on such a formal occasion.

In the melodious and melodious music, Concubine Liu Yan walked into the hall, and Liu Yan held her eldest daughter Ma Yue with her left hand. The right hand is holding the second son Ma An, and the left head is one step behind and follows the eldest son Ma Zheng. At this time, Di Ma Zheng was already eighteen years old, and he had already become an Angzang teenager. Compared with Ma Yue, Ma Zheng has a few less fierce atmospheres but more elegance.

However, a pair of eyes have completely inherited Ma Yue's genes, black and bright, and their brilliance is dazzling.

The little girl Ma Yue is also twelve years old. is becoming more and more delicate and cute, perhaps because of the first daughter, and Ma Yue is a modern person after all, so he has more special doting on Ma Yue.

"Go ahead." Liu Yan patted Ma Yue and Ma Andi's little heads, and said, "Go and say hello to your father." ”

Ma Zheng took his younger brothers and sisters to step forward, knelt down respectfully to Ma Yue, and sang loudly: "The child greets his father, and wishes his father good health and eternal happiness." ”

"Hehehe...... Ma Yue said again and again, "Get up, get up." ”

"Thank you, Father."

Ma Zheng shook his head again, then stood up and stood respectfully to one side.

Ma Yue, Ma An had already giggled and threw themselves into Ma Yue's arms, Ma Yue reached out and hugged Ma Yue's neck, Ma An was young and short and stretched out his hand and barely hugged Ma Yue's thighs, and his mouth screamed "Father hug, hug" non-stop, Ma Yue smiled so much that his mouth grinned to the root of his ears, perhaps because of his age, Ma Yue's requirements for his second son Ma An were far less strict than Ma Zheng.

"Come, Yue'er, this is for you."

Ma Yue opened the brocade box on the table beside him, took out a pair of bracelets from it and handed them to Ma Yue.

"Wow, what a beautiful bracelet."

Ma Yue happily took it, hugged Ma Yue's neck and kissed it, and then forced to put it on his wrist, Ma An, who was holding Ma Yue's thigh, was unhappy, and pouted and protested: "Father, the child wants it too, and the child wants it too......"

"Good, good." Ma Yue smiled and bent down, picked up Ma An and put it on his lap, opened another brocade box from the table, took out a delicate small bow from it and handed it to Ma An, and said with a smile, "Look, what has my father prepared for you?" ”

"Wow, bow!" Ma An exclaimed in surprise, holding the small bow and looking left and right, looking like he couldn't put it down, and suddenly turned around and smiled at Ma Zheng, his little face was full of admiration and admiration, "When she grows up in the future, An'er will shoot through the geese in the sky and the earth like her eldest brother." ”

"Huh." Ma Yue couldn't help but touch Ma An's little head, and said with a smile, "An'er will definitely be a great general when she grows up in the future, maybe she will be able to lead the army all the way to the west in the future." ”

Ma An excitedly raised his small bow and shouted in a milky voice: "Oh, An'er will be a general in the future......"

"Alright, stop making a fuss." Liu Yan stepped forward and hugged Ma An, and said to Ma Yue: "Yue'er, take your younger brother to play, there are still many younger brothers and sisters waiting outside to pay New Year's greetings to your father." ”

Ma Yue pursed her lips and reluctantly turned behind the screen with Ma An.

Ma Yue lowered his face at this time, and asked Ma Zheng with a serious expression: "In the city for more than a year, has martial arts ever been abandoned?" ”

Ma Zheng replied respectfully: "The child remembers his father's teachings and practices martial arts every day. Never dare or give up. ”

"Hmm." Ma Yue stretched out his hand and stroked the thick willow whiskers under his chin, and asked, "Let's talk about it, what experience do you have in learning from the judge master in the city for more than a year to govern internal affairs?" ”

Ma Zheng thought for a while and replied: "The child thinks that the court is a boat, the people are water, and the water can carry a boat or capsize a boat. It is also forbidden to apportion Yao labor without restraint. When the people are rich, the country is rich, if the country is rich, the logistics are sufficient, the logistics are sufficient, the army is strong, and the army is strong. ”

"Hmm. Good. Ma Yue showed a rare relief on his face.

"You can have this opinion at a young age." It shows that in Hebei for more than a year, you are observing. studied hard, and finally lived up to his father's hard work. ”

Ma Zheng hurriedly said: "This is all taught by my father. ”

"Alright. Don't be too complacent in your heart. Ma Yue waved his hand and said, "You must know that there is no end to learning." Your current knowledge is nothing at all, you still have a lot to learn, and you have to ask a few more teachers, especially Mr. Jia Xu. You don't have to go to the city after the New Year, just stay in Luoyang, your queen mother has not been in good health recently, so you can accompany her more when you have time. ”

Ma Zheng said respectfully: "The child takes the order." ”

Ma Yue said: "Okay, let's go down." ”

Ma Zheng bowed his hand again and bowed out of the hall.

Concubine Liu Ming brought Ma Ji in to ask Ma Yue for peace, originally as Liu Ming's eldest princess, she should have enjoyed the honor of Concubine Zheng exclusively, but unfortunately her stomach is not angry, and the horse butcher has worked her belly, but in the end, only a little girl came out, which is Ma Ji who is now standing next to Liu Ming, Ma Ji has completely inherited her mother's beauty, and she will obviously be a beauty embryo in a million miles when she grows up in the future.

"Come, Ji'er come over and hug her father."

Ma Yue stretched out and hugged Ma Ji to his lap, Ma Ji put his arms around Ma Yue's neck and called his father sweetly, until Ma Yue's soul was crispy, to say that Ma Yue obviously likes his daughter more, every day in the palace watching the group of sons chickens and dogs jumping, Ma Yue's whole head is big, but as long as he sees Ma Yue and Ma Ji, these pink and jade peck daughters, all the anger in Ma Yue's heart will disappear in an instant.

Ma Yue gave Ma Ji a string of pearl flowers offered by the West, and the little girl followed Liu Ming happily.

Then came in to ask Ma Yue for the side concubines Zou Yuniang and Nai Zhen Erduo, the two girls were followed by Ma Zhan, Ma Yang, and Ma Qi Ge, although Nai Zhen Erduo is a concubine, but the mother is expensive by her son, Ma Zhan is the second son of King Liang, although there is only one prince, but Ma Zhan is the son of the world, and Nai Zhenerduo's identity will naturally be honored.

Ma Zhan's brothers lined up, clasped their fists and said respectfully: "The child wishes my father a healthy body and a long life." ”

"Good, good." Ma Yue shook his hands again and again, and his attitude towards Ma Zhan's brother was obviously much more easy-going than that towards Ma Zheng, and said with a smile, "Okay, all of them have grown into young men, especially Zhan'er, well, you are as strong as a calf, I heard that your martial arts are also fast in the realm, and you can get to a tie with General Dian Wei, haha, you will be able to go to the battlefield with Lao Tzu in less than two years." ”

Ma Zhan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said aloud: "The child obeys the orders of his father. ”

"Huh......" Ma Yue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You kid, you actually played tricks with your father, haha, okay, it's rare that you have a heart, how about your father take you on the expedition next time you go on the expedition?" ”

"Thank you, Father." Ma Zhan paused and bowed again, "The child has been looking forward to this day for a long time. ”

"Alright." Ma Yue waved his hand and said to Ma Zhan, "You are all boys, and you have reached the year of dancing spoons (13~15), your father will not give you gifts, as long as you keep in mind one thing, brothers must love each other, must be united, brothers are like five fingers of a hand, only when they are held together can they have strength." ”

Brother Ma Zhan said respectfully: "The child remembers the teachings of his father. ”

"Alright." Ma Yue waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”

When the remaining sons were about to enter the hall to greet Ma Yue, Dian Wei suddenly hurried into the hall, and whispered a few words in Ma Yue's ear. ”

Dian Wei nodded gloomily and responded, "Seriously." ”

"Quick!" Ma Yue didn't think about it, and immediately ordered, "Prepare the horse and go to the West General's Mansion." ”

After that, Ma Yue no longer paid attention to the Diao Chan, Yuenuer, Azguli, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Cai > waiting outside the hall (full book)
