No matter how unwilling he was, parting was just around the corner, and Zhao had prepared a piece of wrapping for everyone who left the team, which was enough for their travel expenses and the cost of settling down after arriving at Xindi. For He Qufei, Zhao Ren, and Zhao Ta bought a mansion for them in Beijing as early as possible. Gao Chong's family is in Beijing, and it is a family, as the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, their ancestors have also been crowned kings, and there have been no talents for several generations, and there has been no loser, so naturally there will be no shortage of money to spend, of course, there is no need to let Zhao Ta break the bank.
"Master, it's not early, please get in the car!" After drinking the parting wine, Zhao Ta saluted to where he went.
"Lord Wang, this farewell, I don't know when I will see you again, the old man is afraid that it will be difficult for him to step into the northwest in this life!" He Qufei said with some sadness, he is already in his prime, although he has been an official for many years, he has only followed the prince for the past few years, and he has only lived the most comfortable life, showing his life's ambition in the northwest. But he also understands that after he was transferred back to Beijing, he was promoted, but his life would never be as happy as in the northwest, and he knew the prince's ambition better, and he was afraid that he would not return to Beijing in a few years.
"Master, don't be sad, don't ask about everything, as long as you recuperate in peace and live well, there will be a day when we meet again!" Zhao Ta squeezed out a smile and said, in the past two years in the northwest, the old man has tried his best to assist himself, and it is precisely because his backyard is stable that he can rest assured that he can go west, and now that the teacher is gone, it is difficult for him to find such a confidant, and his mood is naturally not much better.
"Yushi, they all say, 'Rather be a peaceful dog, not a chaotic person', but there are also heroes in troubled times, and now traitors are in charge, and Liaojin is fighting endlessly. Chaos has arisen in the world. It is the time when the man is dominant, the prince has always had great ambitions, and has a far-sighted strategy, although there is something to do, but you must also understand that your shoulders are bearing the burden of Zhongxing Da Song Dynasty, saving the burden of the world, you must not stick to the old rules, you must know that when the decision continues, there will be trouble! He Qufei held the hand of the prince and whispered as he walked.
"Master, the disciple has been taught, please pedal the car!" Zhao Ta nodded solemnly. This old man is persuading himself not to scruple too much, and to start when it is time to start, even if the means are fierce, it doesn't hurt, but he can't help but sigh in his heart. The teacher is really good to himself, otherwise he would not have said such a 'rebellious' thing after reading the sage books all his life!
"Senior brother, the master will get rid of you, if something big happens, you must protect the master thoroughly, and you can send someone to send him to Xiangyi as a last resort!" Zhao Ta helped He Qufei into the car, and then turned to Gao Chong and said, "Senior brother is skilled and bold, but you must also remember not to show your edge, and fight bravely." You must know that when manpower is not enough, you must not be reckless! Zhao Ta thought that he would take Gao Pet away from the capital, follow him, change the trajectory of his life, and fulfill his childhood dream in his previous life, but people are not as good as heaven, and now he has left him, I hope that the experience of the past few years can make him understand that there are still things in the world that cannot be done by manpower, and escape fate.
"Don't worry, I understand!" High favor arched.
"Zhao Ren. You are my most reassuring one, but you have a pure temperament, you must know people's doubts, and you must think more about things! "Zhao Ta is the most reluctant to love his own general, although he knows that he will not act arbitrarily. But I couldn't help but say a few words.
"Second master, the little one understands. Never live up to the grace of the second master's recreation! Zhao Ren held back his tears, saluted deeply, and then turned around and took the prince's horse and grabbed the reins of the horse, "The second master gets on the horse, if you need a small one in the future, as long as the second master is called, even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, swords and mountains and seas of fire, Zhao Ren has no words, and he will definitely return to the second master!" ”
"Alright, let's leave it at that, be careful!" Zhao Ta nodded, and then stepped on the horse.
"Congratulations to the prince!" Everyone shouted in unison at the same time, but they all burst into tears.
Zhao Ta saluted on the horse, turned the horse's head and left first, but looking back, everyone could see that the prince's face was full of tears, and a majestic singing voice came from behind him: "The wolf smoke rises and the mountains look north, and the dragon curls the horse and hisses like frost." The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, who can resist in 20 years! Hatred is mad and long, and how many siblings are loyal to their souls. What a pity to die to repay the family and country, endure sighing and regretting, and are speechless with blood and tears. The horseshoe goes south to the north, the people look north, the grass is green and the yellow dust is flying, I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory, and China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate"
A few days later, Zhao Ta and his entourage arrived in Taiyuan and lived in the original Yamen, but the sign had been changed to that of the Xuanfu Envoy! Because there were a lot of things, the team that Zhao Ta had just built immediately entered the role and started working, but they soon had a disagreement, in fact, this is not a big problem, it is the arrangement of personnel. Xu Zongheng and others found that the prince had a characteristic in employing people, that is, he liked to use officials, which made them dissatisfied.
In fact, it is not surprising that they have this viewpoint, and there is a saying in the officialdom that 'those who are rich are not officials, but those who are officials are poor', which shows that the difference in the status of officials and officials is generally linked to the level of economic status, and because high-ranking officials are increasingly controlled by people from the imperial examination, the gap between officials and officials in terms of status has further widened. But after all, Xu officials still have a knife and pen to make a living, if they disregard the shame of fraud and power, or collude with corrupt officials, extort and oppress the people, there is still a chance to make a fortune, and the Song Dynasty has a serious problem of redundant officials and redundant officials, officials at all levels of the yamen are more satisfied with the corpse vegetarian meal, they do not seek merit, but seek no fault, which also provides an opportunity for Xu officials to be rape, which also makes the reputation of the officials more stinky and hateful.
Although he attaches great importance to cultural people, there were no people with official status around him at that time, and most of the people he used were not necessarily many to read, but he was very capable of doing things, and there was no Confucian education. With such people, first of all, they feel that they are handy, and if they are handed over, they often complete it quickly and well, and secondly, they generally do not entangle the so-called Confucian so-called 'Taoist affairs of the king', and basically hold a pragmatic attitude, regard the right and wrong of the king as right and wrong, and will not be arrogant and high-profile in their ears.
Another reason is that Zhao Ta has reservations about the imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty, in his previous life he remembered that he had just been able to remember and began to suffer from 'study', but all this was to cope with the modern imperial examination system 'college entrance examination', and everyone knows that there are many college students in the Daoist Dynasty are stinky streets, and if they can't find a good job, they will swarm to take the civil service examination to become an official, but these things that have been studied for more than ten years are seriously out of touch with society, but fortunately, they are not admitted to become officials, but also slowly boil up their qualifications.
But the Song Dynasty childhood is basically similar, the scholar Ye Shi once said, "the people of the world, although the five-foot boy all claim to know the scriptures, write and recite the practice, sit on the sage, its master talks about heaven and man, the language of life, think that Yao Shun Zhou Kong's Taoist skills are exhausted here, carved and carved, insulting the words of the first king, but more than the word." If the scriptures are on the lips, you may have a good future, and you can not take care of shame and righteousness. But the difference is that these nerds will be awarded as soon as they are on the yellow list.
Think about it, these people who may not be able to distinguish between north and south, wheat seedlings and leeks when they go out to manage the place will be the result of gods? Under this custom, the temperament and character of the scholars gradually deteriorated, and their mental skills deteriorated. The more and more the deception and the thief of fame are more and more skillful, and the art of whitewashing and smearing is becoming more and more refined, but they do not know what the military punishment is. As the saying goes, 'advance and softness, retreat and rigidity, face and only no, back and relatives chirping, become Yan and coerce what he tastes to praise others, and do not become Yan and trust what he tastes to discuss it. ’
In order to solve this problem of "what is learned is not used, and what is used is not what is practiced", there are also many politicians who have quite profound views on the examination subject, but it is difficult to unify them. The examination system has been changing, but this kind of examination that wants to be realistic and difficult to standardize has made the monarch and the minister very nerve-wracking.
In the early Song Dynasty, the old system of the Tang Dynasty was inherited, and subjects such as the Nine Classics, the Five Classics, the Kaiyuan Ceremony, the Three History, the Three Rites, and the Scholars were set up, which were commonly known as the Subjects. Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan was dissatisfied with the others and put forward their opinions. Emperor Renzong thought it was good, and thought that 'sticking to the meaning of sound and rhythm is difficult for a heroic and great man to play; Speaking of the principle of heaven, earth and man, the origin of chaos in ancient and modern times, is Bo! In the second year of Jiayou, the Ming Economics Department was added; When he arrived at Shenzong, Wang Anshi thought that the young man was learning to compose poetry behind closed doors, and when he was an official, he still didn't understand the world, which was destroying talents, so he proposed to change the examination of scriptures, theories, and strategies. Su Shi objected and said that the way to win people lies in knowing people, and the way to know people lies in being responsible. Only by judging the likes and dislikes of the righteous man and the gentleman can the virtuous person be selected. If you set up a name to take it, you are teaching the people of the world to be false. For example, everyone can play filial piety. As for articles, theories are useful, poems are useless, and political affairs are useless; Later, when Emperor Huizong, Cai Jing imitated Wang Anshi to engage in "Chongning Xingxue", and once canceled the imperial examination and took scholars from the school to confer officials. Although this method has developed education, from the perspective of selecting people and selecting talents, it has become more uniform, and the room for scholars to play freely has become narrower.
Due to the gradual increase in the color of examination and academic studies, and the restriction of creativity, once the scholars took power, they had to release their free will, which was a certain gap with the "talent" required by the emperor. And in order to control the talents selected, the emperor had to degrade his officials with all his knowledge, using their 'talents' and limiting their power. Sometimes the emperor is also impatient when this set of rules is implemented, and he believes in his own vision more, which may indicate that Zhao Ta has the potential to be the emperor!
In fact, when it comes to the status of Yang Shi and others, as well as their knowledge and experience, everyone knows that the Daoist imperial examination is an expedient measure, and in fact it is the basic tool of the ruling class, the purpose of which is to tie the people of the world to the official rank, so that they will have less dissent, and then lock them in a net of containment, Zhao Ta can see it, but even if they are from Jinshi who understand it, how dare they admit it? If you admit it, isn't that just a slap in the face......)
