These news soon reached Liu Ze's ears, Liu Ze couldn't help but sneer, these scholars are really mantis arms and can't do anything, they think that if they don't participate, this will not be able to do it, joke! Now the world of Xuzhou still thinks that it is the world of their wealthy family? Do they still have the ability to influence the political situation in Xuzhou?

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ze quickly announced the detailed rules of the imperial examination, the examination will be divided into two stages, the preliminary examination will be shortlisted for the examination, the winner of the examination will be announced to the world in the form of a list, the winner of the list will be awarded the Jinshi, the preliminary plan for the admission of personnel for 60 people, divided into three first, each of the twenty people, the first name of the first name is the champion, the second name is the list, and the third name is Tanhua. The civil and military divisions are carried out, and those who pass the preliminary examination of the martial arts department are martial artists, and those who pass the examination are martial artists, and the first is the martial champion. At the same time, it is stipulated that this scientific examination is only for the selection of talents, and it is not eclectic, so both people from this state and people from other states can sign up to participate.

Originally, Liu Ze planned to select the imperial examination in various counties and counties, and those who passed the examination would be concentrated in Tancheng to participate in the examination, but considering that if the first scientific examination was too scattered, it was likely to be curbed by the scholars from all over the country, so he simply put the preliminary examination and the general examination in Tancheng, Liu Ze didn't believe it, and someone dared to make trouble under his nose? As for the future when the conditions are ripe, it is not too late to carry out the three-level selection and allocation system of prefectures, counties and counties, and the imperial examination system is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and Liu Ze is determined to popularize and implement it.

Compared with the fact that there are only one or two places in each county, and the whole state adds up to no more than ten per year, and the two subjects of civil and military affairs set up by Liu Ze this time will admit 120 people at a time. There is a world of difference between the two, which makes the students in Xuzhou rejoice, and the higher the proportion of admissions, the greater the chances for everyone.

Liu Ze knows very well that no matter where the scholars are, they are not monolithic, there are many scholars in the world, but the family of gate lords is limited, due to the limited number of filial piety (Maocai is even more pitiful, and there is only one place in each state every year. and only from among officials or persons of prestige). Almost all of them are monopolized by these gate valve families, and many small and medium-sized scholars have no chance to get a piece of the pie at all, and it is their turn to raise filial piety, which is not known to be the year of the monkey. Therefore, the first to benefit from the opening of the department. It's not a Hanmen clan. It's these small and medium-sized scholars who are as many as cows. Their children have many opportunities to study, but they have no chance to excel. This opening of the department has undoubtedly become the best way for them to advance to the ranks.

As for those wealthy families, Liu Ze doesn't care at all, whether you participate or not, this imperial examination is determined to continue, Xuzhou really wants to stand up against the imperial examination, at best, there are only dozens of them, Liu Ze controls the military and political power in Xuzhou, just with those few big cats without sharp claws and fangs, they can't turn the sky!

Sure enough, as Liu Ze expected, after the registration began, a large number of children of the Hanmen Shu clan took the lead in flocking to the registration point, crowding the registration point to the brim. Soon, within a few days, the little scholars who had been on the sidelines couldn't hold back, and some people took the lead in registering, and then many small and medium-sized scholars also signed up, and the scholars and schoolchildren from all counties and counties flocked to Tancheng, and the crowds were surging, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

Those wealthy families who had formed an offensive and defensive alliance couldn't sit still, and originally thought that calling on all the scholars to resist this imperial examination would make Liu Ze's imperial examination abortive, and they could select talents just by participating in a few clay legs? But what they didn't expect was that not only the Hanmen Shu clan actively participated, but even the small and medium-sized scholars also signed up one after another, and in the end, they were isolated and became several of their big families.

According to the gossip, the top three jinshi on the list this time do not need to go to the capital to participate in the examination like filial piety, nor do they need to be interns such as Lang Guan, but will be awarded official positions, the minimum treatment of the top three is also 200 stones, the second class is 300 stones, the first class is 400 stones, and the top three champions in the examination, Bangyan, and Tanhua are directly awarded 600 stone official positions, and the lowest is also the county order level.

Hearing this news, those families were even more restless, it was originally the rice in their bowl, but now they not only have to be robbed, but also have the risk of being robbed, how can they be willing. After learning from the pain, these families decided that instead of watching others snatch up the food, it was better to take the initiative and get a piece of the pie. The result of the discussion is that each family and all ethnic groups select the best children to take the exam, and try their best to grab all the places on the top three lists, each place is equivalent to an official position, and seeking one more official position is a kind of protection for the interests of the family.

By the end of the registration, Xu Shu, the chief officer of the scientific examination, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the number of applicants exceeded 10,000, of which more than 7,000 people signed up for liberal arts alone. Compared with the 60 places to be admitted on the top three list, it can really be said that thousands of troops have crossed a single-plank bridge, and there is not one out of a hundred.

Just when Liu Ze thought that the imperial examination would be smooth sailing, the headaches that gave him one after another followed. According to Liu Ze's assumption, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, and Zheng Xuan, three great Confucians, were hired as the chief examiners in this scientific examination. But when Liu Ze first went to see Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan categorically refused, and directly reprimanded Liu Ze for forgetting his ancestors, and strongly asked Liu Ze to cancel the scientific expedition.

Zheng Xuan's origin Liu Ze knows, although the Zheng family is a high-density family, and there are people who have been officials such as the third duke, but by the time Zheng Xuan was born, the Zheng family had already fallen, and he worshiped under the door of Ma Rong, a great Confucian who helped the wind, and did not see his teacher for three years, so he could only accept Ma Rong's high teachings. But Zheng Xuan was diligent and studious, tireless, and finally became a generation of scripture masters, and was regarded as the "god of scriptures" on the same level as He Lin, who was "Xuehai". And Zheng Xuan attaches great importance to learning and ignores the career of officials, during the reign of Emperor Ling, the court has conquered several times and even refused to accept the high-ranking officials who even gave him Jiuqing, and he is proud of the world with cloth clothes, clear and indifferent, and his integrity is lofty, worthy of the demeanor of celebrities and scholars.

But what puzzled Liu Ze was that such a generation of famous scholars and Confucians, who was born poor and despised the powerful, became the defender of the old system of etiquette, strongly criticized his imperial examination system, and reprimanded the number of classics for forgetting their ancestors, being unconventional, and confusing the law and the law.

Misfortune is not a one-way street, when Cai Yong and Lu Zhi rushed over from Xiaopei, they were almost in the same tone as Zheng Xuan, and they all opposed Liu Ze's imperial examination system, which gave Liu Ze a headache.

In the face of the boycott of the Shi family, Liu Ze handled it with ease, but these three "old stubborn" made Liu Ze feel worried, in terms of identity, the three of them are Liu Ze's teachers, and the teacher is respected, even if Liu Ze is the pastor of a state, he can't use the power in his hands to suppress them, not to mention that these three old guys have a bigger temper than the other, and they are all the kind of lords who would rather bend; In terms of knowledge, these three people are all knowledgeable, and Liu Ze was criticized by them for being incomplete, and fled in the wilderness before he could open his mouth.

Liu Ze was miserable, he knew that this was better than not inviting them, but it was easy to invite God and difficult to send God, if he didn't get them, he would have to give up halfway.

Cai Yan looked at him sadly, pursed his lips and smiled, dipped in tea, and wrote four words on the table: "Each one is broken." ”

Liu Ze suddenly realized, and even regardless of whether there was anyone next to him, he kissed Cai Yan on the cheek and shouted, "It's still Mrs. Smart, why didn't I think of it?" As for the old man, Cai Yan persuaded him.

In the early years in Luoyang, Liu Ze had sat down with Lu Zhi to discuss, at that time Liu Ze put forward some views on the rule of law, replacing the rule of man with the rule of law, and everyone was equal before the law, Lu Zhi did not object at that time, and he appreciated Liu Ze's point of view, Liu Ze took this as a starting point, and presented his two codes to Lu Zhihe.

Lu Zhi still agrees with the spirit of the code, people-oriented, law-oriented, and the prince and the common people are guilty in the face of the law, which is not only Liu Ze's ideal, but also what Lu Zhi pursued all his life.

Liu Ze further said that the imperial examination system itself is a continuation of the rule of law, and the powerful forces controlled the government and held the localities hostage, and by the end of the Han Dynasty it had gradually become a big trend, and the purpose of the rule of law was that everyone was equal before the law, and the purpose of the imperial examination system was the same as that everyone was equal in the scientific examination field. It is true that the rampant use of officials and corrupt officials in the world is a dereliction of duty in supervision, but the root cause of this is the malaise brought about by the examination system, and an open, fair, and just imperial examination system is the only way to break this situation.

Liu Ze started from this point to make Lu Zhi understand that to clarify the rule of officials, it is necessary to select and allocate officials who are honest and honest and have real talents and learning, relying on the corrupt inspection system, it is no longer possible to select and allocate truly outstanding talents, and only by breaking the old rules, selecting and appointing talents without sticking to one pattern, strengthening the supervision mechanism of officials, and establishing a fair and honest reward and punishment system, can corruption be fundamentally punished. Therefore, the implementation of the imperial examination system is the most critical step in clarifying the rule of officials.

"Save the people from fire and water, turn the tide in the fall, and the students' wishes, even if they die, their will will not waver! As for the merits and crimes of Qianqiu, there are descendants who comment! Liu Ze finally said. (To be continued......)
