Chapter 649: Selecting Officials by Strategy
Winter, November.
In Jinling's Jixia School Palace, it was a bustling and crowded scene at this time.
The wide aisle was already crowded with people at this time.
Everywhere you look, there are young people wearing various colors and fighting spirits.
They have different identities, such as scholars, merchants, workers, farmers, etc., but at this time, they are all looking forward to it, waiting for the arrival of Wu Wang Qingji.
They all want to see King Wu together!
The cold wind is bleak, but it is their sincere heart that is hot......
Today, it is a great event for the Jixia School Palace.
Scholars from all over the world will gather here.
All talents recommended by the courtiers and officials of the Wu State will be selected to serve as officials in the court or local government in the form of "filial piety" and "show talent".
In this exam, although the chief examiner is Gongzi Heng, Wu Wang Qingji will also be present.
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
I don't know who it is, but suddenly there was a shout, and everyone's eyes converged on the aisle.
In the wide aisle, there were already guards with strong and strong shoulders and round waists standing on both sides, opening the way for Qingji and at the same time being responsible for maintaining order.
In order to see the demeanor of Qingji, the scholars did not dare to act rashly, but just stood there from a distance, expecting to see Qingji.
The first thing that catches your eye is the exclusive flag representing King Wu.
The red and black shading, the middle of the flag is embroidered with a big bird (phoenix) with a fiery red color, and there is also a striking "Wu" character around!
Looking at its regulations, you can know that it is the banner of the army, and then look at the fire phoenix, people of insight can recognize that this is the exclusive banner of King Wu.
Wang Qi!
Immediately afterward, the guard holding Fang Tian's halberd strode forward and walked in the forefront.
They wore armor of pitch black color, the robes were crimson, and they wore solemn bronze masks, and their cloaks were red like battle clothes......
Up and down the body, there is a chilling evil aura.
It is conceivable that these guards are all elite soldiers and strong generals who have been killed from the sea of corpses and blood.
Flag in the sky!
One cart after another walked slowly, and the horses' hooves trampled on the blue-striped stone brick street, ticking.
The Yubao cover car where Qingji is located has come into view.
This time, Qingji did not take his own Liuyu King car, but used a feather cover car to show his style to the scholars.
"Ten thousand years of the king! Great Wu Wannian! ”
The moment they saw Qingji, everyone couldn't help but shout.
With a pious heart, they were like worshipping the gods, respectful, and heart-rending chanting "Ten thousand years of the king, ten thousand years of the great Wu"!
At this moment, Qingji is wearing a dark silk feather coat, withering dragons and phoenixes, and the cuffs and neckline are all red, outlining his tall figure.
Wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, stepping on cloud shoes, holding the Longyuan sword in one hand, he is eight feet tall, his appearance is majestic, and his temperament is not angry and arrogant......
This is exactly the image of Qingji in the minds of all Chinese people.
This is their king!
Compared with the cumbersome and heavy crown clothes, in fact, Qingji prefers to wear this kind of imperial dress on weekdays.
Similar to suits and casual wear, Qingji naturally prefers casual wear.
It's just that on some specific occasions, Qingji has to wear a crown dress to honor the heavens and the ancestors and demonstrate his authority.
"Ten thousand years of the king! Great Wu Wannian! ”
Facing the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Li Shu, who was chanting, Qingji just stood on his Yubao covered car, smiling and waving.
He himself is very close to the people, and in the minds of all the subjects of Wu, Qingji is like the existence of Dayao and Dashun in the ancient world.
Highly embraced by the subjects of Wu State!
Of course, in Qingji's view, the enthusiasm of these subjects of Wu is more like the modern star-chasing clan treats their favorite stars......
Finally, Qingji slowly stepped out of the Yubao car and walked into the Jixia School Palace.
When he came to the venue, all the recommended scholars had already taken their places.
Through the probation system introduced by Wu State, many scholars were elected by the ministers and doctors of the court, or by the local county guards and county orders.
This time, the number of scholars who had to pass the examination and was selected as officials was about five hundred and sixty-two.
It is not known how much of their true talent and learning, but it is mainly from the strategy to find out the degree of superiority and disadvantage.
In this era, human resources are still quite scarce.
Basically, people who have the opportunity to read and write are either rich or expensive, and there are very few ordinary people who are really poor and white, and they can receive cultural education......
Like Kong Qiu, who lost his father at an early age, his family was in the middle of the road, and he was poor and had no status.
However, Kong Qiu is also from an aristocratic background and has connections!
Kongqiu's ancestors were descendants of the Yin Shang royal family and nobles of the Song Kingdom, and his ancestors were Shang Tang, the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty.
His father, Uncle Liang Su, was a famous warrior in the Lu Kingdom, and his uncle Liang Su first married Shi, gave birth to nine daughters and no sons, and then married Kong Qiu's mother and gave birth to Kong Qiu......
Although his father's uncle Liang Su died, he still had some connections, which is not comparable to ordinary people.
Qingji once planned to open up the wisdom of the people and run education in Wu Guoguang to rejuvenate the country through education.
However, this is not an easy thing to achieve, and it completely violates the interests of the nobility.
Therefore, Qingji can only be put aside for the time being.
At this stage, Wu Guo's talents are still enough.
In the early years, Qingji set up the Jixia School Palace, Corporal Lixian, which attracted a large number of scholars from all over the world to enter Wu.
Even if the scholars are not officials and seek fame and fortune, they may also want to go to the Jixia School Palace to broaden their knowledge and enrich their knowledge.
The implementation of the probation system is also for the sake of Wu Guoguo's sufficiently perfect talent reserve and official selection system.
"See the King! Long live the king! ”
After seeing Qingji's arrival, all the scholars present stood up one after another and saluted Qingji.
Qing Ji, who was standing on the square platform, returned a salute, and then said loudly: "The second and third sons, they will take the test today, regardless of their background, only talent is a move, only virtue is a move, and those who have both ability and political integrity can be used as doctors and officials in Wu State!" ”
"There are four contents of the countermeasures: the immorality of the widows, the injustice of the officials, the inappropriateness of the government, and the restlessness of the people!"
"The second and third sons can take one of them as a strategy."
After a pause, Qingji said again: "After trying, we should consider it as appropriate, and select suitable official positions for the second and third sons based on strategy." ”
"Or a doctor in the court, or a local official, it's all necessary."
"However, the widow has a word first, and if there is an objection to his official position, he can refuse it."
"Once you take office, you will hang up the seal without authorization, and you will not blame the ruthlessness of the national law!"
"No!"
All the scholars hurriedly bowed and saluted, agreeing to come down.
The laws of the state of Wu are relatively strict.
The state has recruited you as an official, and you can resign without accepting it.
However, if you have already taken office and plan to "resign", I am afraid that you will be unable to escape the blame!
