The victory of the Shen War made the prestige of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion headed by Deng Haonan blazing and the Eight Ming Kingdoms were cheering and boiling.

In the face of the ugly situation of domestic crises, the victory of the Liaoshen War and the recovery of a large area of land undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the Ming Empire at sunset, which shifted more than half of the domestic contradictions and reduced the huge pressure on the military department.

For this reason, the imperial court should reward the officials and generals of the Liaodong Governor's Office, of course, Deng Haonan's share. Gu Bingqian and the other old guys immediately jumped out to object, thinking that this was what Deng Haonan and the Liaodong Governor's Mansion should do, and it was a matter within their bounds.

The reason why Wang Qia took the initiative to help Deng Haonan fight for the reward was mainly because Wang Qia's military department was in a mess at the moment, and most of the money borrowed by the imperial court from Di Haonan was used to make up for the previous deficit.

Wang Qia knew that the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect was imminent, and the military department needed a large amount of military pay to prepare for the suppression of the rebellion, and Yang He, the governor of the three sides of the northwest, was in urgent need of military salaries, because the drought in the northwest continued this year, and the grain harvest was certain to fail next year, and the rebellion of the common people would become more and more intense. This qiē is inseparable from money and grain, and Wang Qia can't produce silver and grain at all, only Na Haonan has a lot of silver and grain in his hands, not to mention that the Liaodong Governor's Mansion has won a big victory in the northeast, and Jianyu is unable to compete with the Liaodong Army for three or five years, so the elite of the Liaodong Army is also idle, Wang Qia made up his mind to borrow troops, money, and food from Na Haonan, so he must please Na Haonan.

The Liaodong Army expanded violently, and Tongguò reorganized the original Yuan Chonghuan Department in Western Liao, and Jingjing had 30,000 iron cavalry, 50,000 infantry troops, and 300,000 Liao people. Coupled with the surrendered Mongol army and Han army, the Liaodong Governor's Mansion was not counted as a navy, and the total strength of the army alone broke the 200,000 mark, becoming a veritable feudal official.

On the other hand, the imperial court had no money to reward the Liaodong Army, and it was impossible to give territory, so it could only carry out the old tactics against Na Haonan and increase the number of officials and knights.

Although Huang Liji and other ministers were happy that Deng Haonan's Liaodong Governor's Mansion had achieved heavy results, the Liaodong black hole they had buried was finally stopped, and there was no need to worry about the Emperor Taiji's army breaking through into the Central Plains. Although Deng Haonan gave them benefits, they no longer had to spend money on the Liaodong war situation, and the shady scenes on the Liaodong battlefield disappeared with the comprehensive takeover of the Liaodong Governor's Office, but in terms of personal reputation, Di Haonan became the Marquis of Jinghai at a young age and served as the central minister of the imperial court, which made them feel a little unfair. Huang Liji: They have been in charge for many years. But it's just a bachelor, even one. They didn't even touch the edge of the title, which made them feel uncomfortable.

So, they didn't stand up and disagree with Gu Bingqian and other governors, but just let it go and handed it over to the emperor for a decision. They knew that the royal family didn't want Deng Haonan to be big. Rather than them jumping out directly to offend Deng Haonan, it is better to let the royal family do it.

The emperor only has half a life left, and every day when he is confused, where will he decide, a qiē is naturally reported to the queen for processing.

Before the change, even if Deng Haonan's promotion was approved by the courtiers, he would be vetoed when he came to her. Now it's different, Zhang Yan can't count on the Emperor of the Apocalypse anymore, and completely relies on Deng Haonan, so she hopes that the bigger Deng Haonan's official position and greater power, the safer she will be.

So, to the dumbness of all the courtiers, their calculations were wrong. The request of the Ministry of War was approved, and the celebrant directly detained Yuwang and announced the invention to the world.

Di Haonan accumulated merits and became the Duke of Liao, and all the military officials under his command were rewarded by Deng Haonan for reporting to the imperial court for inventions.

At the will, Huang Liji, Gu Bingqian and others were dumbfounded, their abacus failed, and they didn't expect that the royal family didn't agree directly.

Huang Liji and they didn't have time to regret it, because the jade base had already been covered, and it was directly announced to the world.

Na Haonan ascended to the position of Duke of Liao, breaking the record of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, he also became the object of crazy worship of the world's martial artists. With the completion of the construction of intelligence stations in all parts of the country, the comprehensive upgrade of the intelligence system has publicized the superiority of the Liaodong Governor's Office under the leadership of Deng Haonan to the local area.

"As long as you have the ability, you can be useful under the public account of Liao!"

"As long as you are young and strong, and you have the strength, you can also go to the Liaodong Army to be a soldier!"

"Even if you can only farm and raise silkworms, that's okay, Liaodong is fertile for thousands of miles, and you can be tax-free for three years and fifty taxes, which can't guarantee that you will have a lot of money, but it can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing and live a stable life!"

"As long as you follow the Duke of Liao, happy days will come!"

"Believe in the Duke of Liao, get eternal life!" Don't shhh"

Every day, the intelligence station spends money to hire a large number of trustees to carry out propaganda in towns and villages. Deng Haonan, the Duke of Liao, is very powerful, and how powerful the soldiers under his account are, they are simply like divine soldiers.

This kind of propaganda will not only not have an effect in the future, but will cause Deng Haonan to pretend to be a ghost and lose his reputation. But in ancient times, it was different, don't look at these propaganda slogans are superstitious, but people still believe this.

In the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the court was mediocre and incompetent, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the people were in power, and the scholars who had studied hard for ten years had no money to dredge up and down, and most of them were unwilling. After learning about the deeds of the Duke of Liao, he heard that the Governor's Mansion of the Eastern Prefecture was recruiting talented and virtuous people, so they went to Liaodong to try their luck.

Compared with the literati, the martial artists who have the foundation and strength of martial arts are even more crazy, because the rise of Di Haonan is the symbol of the martial arts in the country, and the day of the martial arts in the troubled times has come, so there are countless martial artists from all over the country who defect to the Liaodong Governor's Mansion.

For the common people, they are not interested in who is the emperor, who controls the government, and which martial arts and literati are in charge of the country, and the only thing that interests them is who gives them clothes and clothes, who gives them food, who gives them a way to live, and who gives them a stable life.

This was done by the Liaodong Governor's Office.

Because under the rule of the Liaodong Governor's Office, from Liaodong to Taiwan, although the land is not abandoned, it winds through the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and the people who get benefits are ironclad evidence and do not need publicity.

Compared with the situation of natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty, the common people yearn to live under the rule of the Liaodong Governor's Office. However, the officials of the provinces of the Ming Dynasty had strict control over the population, and the people had to have a road guide issued by the government to move, otherwise they were not allowed to leave the jurisdiction of the state even if they begged. Other state capitals are even more afraid of getting into trouble

Therefore, the only people who can really move to the state capital under the control of the Liaodong Governor's Office are the people of the coastal prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, because they only need to arrive at the seaside wharf, and the ships sent by the Liaodong Governor's Office will come to pick them up. The officials of the coastal prefectures did not dare to offend the Liaodong Governor's Office, so they turned a blind eye to the migration of the population. At the same time, the emigration of displaced people from coastal provinces and counties has also relieved the pressure on officials in various prefectures and counties, and they are also happy to be idle.

However, for Di Haonan, this qiē is like a long drought and a sweet frost.

Because, the rise of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion group headed by Deng Haonan is just a group of military generals, and it is naturally impeccable in terms of fighting, let alone expanding the territory. However, with the expansion of the Liaodong Governorate, the territory, population and other aspects are expanding, and it is no longer possible to rely on military attaches to realize their potential, so Deng Haonan's demand for civil officials is finally on the agenda.

In response to Deng Haonan's ascension to the position of Duke of Liao, the lack of strict zhòng of the civil official group under his account had restricted the further development of the Liaodong Governor's Office, so Huang Zupei and Feng Shaoyan began to recruit literati from Di Haonan.

Of course, there are many literati, and Deng Haonan doesn't need those literati who are against poetry, he wants professionals who can manage local affairs.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang paid special attention to the implementation of the Eight Shares because he had no culture, and he believed that as long as the Eight Shares were used, he could achieve the effect of wisdom and foolishness. Of course, the Ming Dynasty can last for nearly three hundred years, and it may have something to do with this."

But Deng Haonan knew that the literati who came out of the eight gugu to take the scholars did not know how to govern the local government at all, because relying on the four books and five classics alone was far from enough. Especially now that science and technology are advancing rapidly, if you want to maintain the hegemony of the East, you can't rely on them. Deng Haonan hopes to recruit some literati who are good at the six arts professionals, so that they can develop better if they specialize in the art industry.

Of course, Deng Haonan's idea is only applicable to the area under the actual control of the Liaodong Governor's Office, because it was established on the basis of a clear and innocent foundation, and there is no obstruction force. Even if there was, it was leveled by the Liaodong Governor's Office.

But one, the Liaodong Governor's Mansion cannot be satisfied, what Deng Haonan needs is to control the entire Ming Empire, which is not enough by force alone, after all, there is no good end when confronting the entire Ming civil official group, and the demise of Chongzhen confirms this.

"Although the civil officials trained by the Eight Shares of Scholars don't know what local government affairs are, but the adults want to control the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is obviously not possible without them!"

Feng Shaoyan said: "If only the talents of the six arts can develop and expand the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, but it has formed a barrier with the orthodox civil official group of the Ming Dynasty, and the resistance when the adults enter the Central Plains in the future will be unprecedented!" ”

Di Haonan naturally understood in his heart that after ten or even decades of hard reading, in the end, as long as Di Haonan is a person who is proficient in the six arts, it is undoubtedly equivalent to offending millions of students in the Ming Dynasty. If you don't get angry and go to the opposite position of Deng Haonan, it will be even more tricky to become an enemy.

Na Haonan nodded and said: "I naturally understand this truth, but I just absorb a group of literati who don't understand the people's livelihood but spoil the people, which is panicking!" ”

"The adults are sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and the subordinates are really admired!" Feng Shaoyan is still very clear about Deng Haonan's position, so he is also willing to use one hundred and twenty points of strength to assist Deng Haonan.

"Do you know how to cook toads over slow fire?"

"Of course!" Na Haonan smiled: "If you throw the toad directly into the boiling water, it will have to jump out!" ”

Feng Shaoyan said with a smile: "What adults need right now is a civil official who does practical things, but he can't be in a hurry. Just like boiling a toad, everything has priorities, focus on important things first, and then come back to clean up the trivial things when the overall situation is timed! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Feng Shaoyan said: "My lord's first priority at the moment is to let the literati of the Ming Dynasty recognize you, and you recruited them just to win the artifact, so you should raise them first." When the artifact is in hand and the world is decided, go back and clean them up like Taizu cannoning Qinggong Tower. What's more, a group of literati are just powerless, and you can do whatever you want. ”

Na Haonan nodded, and suddenly the mouth stopped, now he only needs to win over the civilian official group, as long as they don't make a stumbling block for themselves, there is no need to care.

As the saying goes, there are priorities, and we have to do the important things first.

After connecting the joints, Deng Haonan was in a much better mood and asked: "Then in your opinion, how to win over the civil official group?" ”

Feng Shaoyan said: "From the central government to the local level, there are civil officials who have formed a party everywhere. One Donglin Party is just the biggest bird, and there are many parties that operate in a low-key manner. It is not good for adults to win over any party alone, and it will arouse the suspicion of other parties. ”

That Haonan thinks about it, Daming's party struggle is famous. The struggle between a Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party almost ruined the Ming Dynasty, but after the largest Donglin Party arrived, the other small parties were not suppressed by the Donglin Party and became panicked, causing great trouble to Chongzhen. Chongzhen had no choice but to use the tricks of the Emperor of the Apocalypse again and use the eunuch party to deal with other parties, but unfortunately the eunuch party that was raised did not have the courage of Wei Zhongxian at all, and he couldn't suppress the other parties, but he was burdened by it and accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

"And what do you mean?"

Di Haonan didn't know anything about this aspect at all, and his eyes were dark, and he didn't know where to start, and there were no strategists around him who were proficient in this area, so he had to ask the half-baked Feng Shaoyan.

It was only at this time that Deng Haonan felt the lack of talents for the first time. Of course, Deng Haonan is only lacking in civilian talents. As for the talent of military attachés, the establishment of military academies has made it impossible for military attachés to grasp a large number of them, and there is no need to worry at all.

"The beginning of spring next year is the year of Xuchen, which is the time for the triennial examination, followed by the palace examination, and the official year of hard work for the students."

Di Haonan paused for a moment and asked, "You mean the imperial examination?" ”

Feng Shaoyan nodded and roughly explained to Di Haonan. Deng Haonan combined his understanding and basically understood.

The examination is a national examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites, also known as the rites, which is held in the second year of the township examination, that is, in the year of Chou, Chen, Wei and Xu. Those who participate in the examination must be a Chinese-style person in the township examination. The examination was also held in three sessions, on the 9th, 12th and 15th of February. The content and procedure of the examination are basically the same as those of the township examination. Because the Hui Examination is a higher level of examination than the Township Examination, Ming Cong attaches more importance to it. Compared with the township examination, the number of examiners in the same examination has increased by the number of officials such as the chief examiner, the first-level promotion of the same examination, and the invigilator, all of which are served by higher-ranking officials. The search when lifting people to enter the venue was wider in the early Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang once said: "This person who has already sung the deer and roared, why should he be treated as a thief?" "Therefore, the method of search does not work from time to time. In the last years of Jiajing, the situation of lifting people and carrying people became more and more severe. In the new year, Jiajing's "mission added two members of the imperial history, specializing in searching, and its offender, Xianhe School wore a flail in front of the Ministry of Rites, and was still sent to the Department of Justice for conviction, so it was strictly forbidden" In this regard, Shen Defu was quite emotional. He said: "In the past 40 years, although the examination has been strict and lenient, he has taken off his clothes and hats, and searched again and again, and there is no waiting for the first time of returning to the country. ”

There is no quota for the number of students admitted to the entrance examination at the beginning of next year. At the least, there were only thirty-two, and the maximum was four hundred and seventy-two. The increase or decrease of the quota, "all adventuring recitals, please decide" Chenghua is a year old, generally take 300 people, and some of the other 50 or 100 people are added due to the title and the edict, which is a special case, not a "constant system"

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the rites were taken, and some of them were north and south. In the 30 years of Hongwu, Liu Sanwu, Ji Shan, and Bai Xin were appointed as the main examiners of the examination, and 52 people including Song Zong were admitted, all of whom were southerners. After the results were issued, the northern candidates were not convinced, saying that the examiners were southerners, and that they were biased in favor of fellow villagers. After Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he was very angry and sent a waiter to Zhang Xin and other twelve people to review. Some people also said that Zhang Messenger deliberately sent the low-level volume to the emperor for review under the instruction of Liu Sanwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more angry when he heard this, and put Bai Xinji and Zhang Xin to death. Zhu Yuanzhang personally read the papers and admitted six billion people including Ren Boan, all of whom were northerners. At that time, people called it the "North-South List" or "Spring and Autumn List", but after the incident, there was no regulation on the place of origin of the admitted. It was not until the Hongxi period, injured, that Renzong Zhu Gaochi ordered Yang Shiqi to set the quota for admission to the north and south, with men accounting for six tenths and northerners accounting for four-tenths. Xuande old to one

Wounded, orthodox, mom, na, it is divided into south, north, and middle volumes, among the 100 places, the south roll takes 55, the north roll takes 35, and the middle roll takes 10. Although there have been some changes in the proportion of Jingtai, the principle of "dividing the land and taking it" has not changed.

The palace examination is the highest level of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, named because the examination room is in the Fengtian Hall or Wenhua Palace, and anyone who can take the Chinese style can participate. The palace test is "the Son of Heaven personally planned in the court", so it is also called the court test. The time of the palace examination, according to the regulations of the imperial examination, is the first day of the first month of March, and it is changed to March 15 from the fourth and second days of the eighth year of Chenghua.

The content of the temple examination is very simple, only one of the time and strategy of the test. Examination questions are generally prepared by the cabinet and submitted to the emperor for determination the day before the examination. The temple examination is limited to one day, and the papers must be submitted before sunset. After the completion of the paper, the examinee sent the test paper to Mi Feng'an, and after the sealing was completed, it was sent to the palm officer, and the palm officer immediately transferred it to the East Pavilion. Grading will be conducted by the Reader.

The palace examination is presided over by the emperor himself, and the emperor is the chief examiner, so the person who reviews the test paper can only be called the examiner. The scroll readers were selected from among the high-ranking court officials who were born as jinshi. According to the regulations of the early Ming Dynasty: "After the palace examination is completed, the next day the paper is read, and the next day the list is released." "In a day, a small number of examineers have to mark hundreds of papers. The task of the examiner is to select three papers from the examination paper in order to determine the candidates for the first and third places. Other grading is irrelevant.

The ranking of the Ming Dynasty palace examination is divided into one and three grades. A first-class three, called the champion "Bangyan" Tanhua, given Jinshi and the first; A number of people in the second class were born as jinshi; A number of people in the top three are given the same Jinshi background.

At that time, the scholars also commonly called the first place in the township examination as Xie Yuan, the first place in the Hui Examination, and the Hui Yuan "plus the champion of the first place in the palace examination" was collectively called Sanyuan. Lianzhong Sanyuan is a good story in the imperial examination.

In the Ming Dynasty, only Xu Guanhou in the Hongwu period was surnamed Huang and Shang Qing in the orthodox period.

After the list was issued, the emperor gave all the Jinshi a banquet in the Ministry of Rites, called the "Grace Banquet"

Then, these jinshi were voted for official positions.

Of course, the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was divided into three levels: the township examination, the meeting examination and the palace examination.

As for the township test, Di Haonan only knows how to show talent and the like. Because he likes the feeling of Xiucai meeting soldiers.

However, the township test is not the most rudimentary, but it is also the most poisonous. turned literati into nerds, which is of course the credit of the township test.

The township examination is a local examination held by the south and north Zhili and the political envoys of each country, also known as the township examination, once every three years, held in Zi, Mao, Wu and Baien. The location of the township test is in Nannan, Beijing Prefecture and the residence of the various political departments. There are two chief examiners, four people who take the same exam, and one person who is promoted, and there are also officials who are responsible for receiving papers, sealing them, transcribing them, reading them, inspecting prison doors, and searching and inspecting them.

The exam is divided into three parts: the first one, the three ways of righteousness of the "Four Books" and the four ways of righteousness. In the second scene, there is a trial discussion, five judgments, and an edict, an edict, and an internal department. In the third session, try the five ways of Shi Ce. Three examinations will be held on August 9, 12 and 15. Candidates entering the venue must go through a strict search and are not allowed to take them with them. After entering, each Triumph is monitored by a trumpet to prevent cheating. If you don't finish the paper, you will be given three candles, and you will be helped out of the examination room before the wax is finished. After the candidates submit the papers, they will go through the procedures of sealing, transcription, and reading, and then send them to the main examination and the same examination for approval. The time for review is nominally ten days, but the actual time for review is only three or four days. Because there are a lot of test papers, they can't be read through, and the test tube often "stops reading the front field, and stops reading the meaning of the book" If the three "Four Books" written in the first place are appreciated by the examiner, you can be Chinese and become a lifter.

The number of admission places for the township examination is determined by the imperial court. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, the edict "does not limit the number of quotas, and pays tribute from the actual amount" in the first year of Hongxi, and the number of people in each examination area ranges from ten to fifty. Later, it gradually increased, and in the late Ming Dynasty, the number of direct subordinates in the north and south increased to more than 130, and the number of political envoys in each country also increased greatly.

Feng Shaoyan said: "After the autumn season this year, middle school students are basically waiting to participate in next year's spring exam, so many students do not go home directly, most of these students are not children of wealthy families, adults should seize this opportunity!" ”

Di Haonan looked at Feng Shaoyan and suddenly said, "You mean to let me fund them?" If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscle, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading! D
