Chapter 248 Establishment of the imperial examination system

The holy decree of Li Qindong to suppress the Yellow Turban Army was sent to Chang'an in one day and one night, and the messenger who delivered the letter ran and killed three horses, which sent the holy decree to Chang'an. [Full text reading]

At this time in Chang'an, Li Qin had already entered the city, and he promoted all the remaining officials in Chang'an City, and expressed great importance and trust to the officials, so let them continue to be officials and be bigger officials

Gai Xun was the Jing Zhaoyin of Chang'an, the first to bear the brunt, he was the first to be promoted, was appointed as the governor, and was sent by Li Qin to Fujiao Fort, where he was directly under the leadership of Liu Sheng, the deputy lord of the fort, and other senior officials of Chang'an, who were promoted one after another, were all sent to Fujiao Fort, in Li Qin's words, this is a trust in them, otherwise how could they be sent to Fujiao Fort as officials, that is the base camp of the Fujiao Army, the new governance of Liangzhou.

The high-ranking officials of Chang'an were all sent to Fujiaobao, and there were a large number of vacancies in their positions, but it didn't matter, Li Qin had a way, he held an exam, and he and Jia Xu drew up an exam paper, which included multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, question and answer questions, and essay questions

This exam paper is extremely novel, in the late Han Dynasty, not to mention this kind of new-style examination, even if it is old-fashioned, there is no even a genuine system in this era, and there is no imperial examination, how can officials be promoted by examination, so Li Qin suddenly asked the officials to do this, and all the low-level officials in Chang'an were méng

However, because it was the first time, it was relatively fair, at least no one cheated. It's not that no one wants not to cheat, but they don't know what to do, and if there are more exams like this, there will be endless ways to cheat

After the written test, a group of officials who were not good at reading and did not have a high level of transformation were brushed out, and then an interview was conducted, Jia Xu first came to the first interview, and then brushed off a batch, and then selected ten officials with the best grades, and Li Qin conducted the last interview, and asked questions on the spot to determine the ranking.

The top three, the first is called Fujiao Champion, the second is called Fujiao Bangyan, the third is Fujiao Tan Huā, and the last seven are collectively called Fujiao Jinshi, all of which are ranked down. Officials after the top 10 are called Fujiao Juren, and they are still ranked according to their test scores. All the names are specially preceded by the word Fujiao, one is to swear ownership, these officials who passed the examination are their Fujiao Fort, and the other is to let the officials have a sense of belonging, from now on they are a part of Fujiao Fort, to contribute to the construction of Fujiao Fort

After the ranking was set, Li Qin ordered the Chang'an City, put up lanterns, set off firecrackers, and also took out grain from the treasury, slaughtered a batch of pigs and sheep, cooked rice and made ròu, distributed it on the streets of Chang'an, and gave it to others to eat ròu, which was one of Li Qin's best skills. The list is full of the names of officials, all of whom are ranked, beating gongs and drums all the way, and letting the people comment.

After this process, the officials of Chang'an were fooled, it seems that Li Qin is really unique in the selection of talents, he is really too stylish, and they can't find the north because the wind is blowing. But this also proves one point, Li Qin really wants to put Sizhou into his territory, and he really wants to govern Chang'an well, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big move, this can be said to be done against the imperial court, and such a major matter as appointing officials was actually done by him as a warlord from other places, even if he did not explicitly say rebellion, in fact, it was no different from rebellion

But Li Qin's combination of officialdom has also made more people see hope, although the end of the Han Dynasty is the world of the mén valve, don't want to be in an important position if you don't come from a wealthy family, but after all, there are not so many wealthy people in the world, there are not so many noble children, if everyone is proud, they are all nobles, then what is more expensive, everything is the same, if there is a lot of things, it is not worth much, but the Han mén scholars have seen hope, this method of selecting officials, Regardless of the official's background, only the ability, this gives the official from the Han mén scholar the hope of further stepping onto the big stage, and as long as there is hope, there will be motivation, which is an eternal truth

In particular, after Li Qin announced the results of the examination, he immediately announced an important measure, that is, in the area controlled by Fujiaobao, from now on, the selection of talents, no longer implement the guarantee system, but also conduct the examination, as long as they think that they have a little level, know how to read and write, and have the ability to be an official, regardless of their status, they can take the examination, and as long as they pass the examination, they can be admitted to Fujiaobao, they can become officials, and from then on they can enter the official career

There were no bombs at the end of the Han Dynasty, but as soon as this important measure was announced, it was like a heavy bomb, which shocked the entire Chang'an

The scholars of Han Mén rushed to tell each other, and talked about it, they all saw hope from the examination system, that is, their own hope, as long as they had the ability, then they didn't have to look at Hao Mén's face, they didn't have to sharpen their heads to flatter Hao Mén, and only after flattering was good could they pick up some leftovers, and if the flattery was not good, they couldn't even get a mouthful of leftovers, if Li Qin could control Chang'an's government affairs for a long time, then their future would be infinitely bright

Almost as soon as this measure was announced, Li Qin received the support of the vast majority of Han mén, and even if Li Qin did not want Sizhou and no longer stayed in Chang'an, these Han mén scholars might follow him, and wherever Li Qin went, they would follow

Not only did the Han scholars support Li Qin, but even the ordinary people changed their minds, and they were no longer afraid of the Fujiao Army, but began to support the Fujiao Army. In fact, the requirements of the common people are very simple, whoever can make them live a good life, they will support whom, very simple idea. Whether you can have a good life with Li Qin in the future, after all, this is a matter of the future, I don't know, but now Li Qin is inviting everyone to eat and drink, this is definitely a very real thing, can the people not praise him as a good person, the good guy card smashed at Li Qin countless times

The establishment of the imperial examination system was the first reform that Li Qin wanted to carry out in his own territory, and of course it had to be operated well, and he personally led the soldiers to open the way for the officials who passed the examination

How big is Chang'an, and there are many lively people, the streets are blocked, walking slowly, Li Qin took the officials to parade the streets, and even walked for most of the day, and the people who started to parade in the afternoon did not finish the tour until the evening

Don't look at the time it takes, but the people are happy, how have there been such a big excitement before, there was no entertainment program, and now it's hard to meet one, watch the excitement and take care of the food, where to find this good thing, can they watch it or not, follow the procession, there are more and more people.

And the officials don't look tired, but tired and tired, they are happy, most of them are from a cold mén, how can they have such a beautiful life in their lives, and those officials from a rich mén background, they are so sought after by the people of the city, and Li Qin personally opened the way for them, this glory is simply indescribable.

At first, the officials were all shy and embarrassed, but after walking through a few streets, they all got used to it, riding on horses, and constantly waving to the people, almost to the point that they couldn't stop it, and even some officials were looking forward to it, if they could go on like this, it would be too glorious to glorify their ancestors

Originally, the officials of Chang'an were not very convinced of Li Qin, and the top high-ranking officials all fled, leaving only them, the little Haomen and Han Mén, they were all quite afraid of Li Qin, especially when they saw that Li Qin had cleaned up the high-ranking officials such as Gai Xun, they were worried about their fate, but they didn't expect Li Qin to come up with a measure to select officials by examination, and as a result, they suddenly had a good impression of Li Qin, and some people had changed their minds to call Li Qin the lord and decided to follow Li Qin. After that, I ate with Li Lang hún

A eunuch and a few Yulin soldiers who came out of Luoyang to send the holy decree ran wildly, and finally arrived outside Chang'an City, when they came to the outside of the city, it was already dark, they were very anxious, as soon as it was dark, they were going to close the city, they wanted to see Li Qin, they were afraid that tomorrow morning, even if they had the holy decree, they might not be able to call the city mén, they were afraid that people would not believe that they had the holy decree, and they couldn't let the soldiers who guarded the mén test the holy decree a priori, this thing could not be tested

But when they came to the entrance of the city, they found that the city was not closed, and the pedestrians in and outside the city were coming and going, and it was very lively, they were shocked, and they didn't know that it was dark during the day, and the city was not closed.

After entering Chang'an City, the eunuchs and Yulin soldiers were even more surprised, and it was not the New Year's holiday, why was the city brightly lit, there were people everywhere, everyone was celebrating, what were they celebrating, they didn't know until they found a common person to ask, it turned out to be celebrating the officials who passed the exam, what kind of champion list or something, a lot of new terms that I had never heard of

The eunuch was quite puzzled, people are officials, what do you little people do, do you use it so happily, you have nothing to do, right? But how could Li Qin appoint officials on his own, and he was not the highest governor of Sizhou?

Just wondering, a Yulin army shouted: "Official, this thing is going to be bad, so many people are crowded on the road, how can we get there, we have been delayed on the road for a day, there are only two days left, no matter what Li Junhou does, he can't rush to Chang'an with the army, don't bother us."

As soon as the eunuch heard this, he immediately became anxious, but no, time really can't be delayed anymore
