Chapter 1093: Twenty-four Heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion

The state of Dawu, like the state of the Han Dynasty in history, was a supervision area, not an administrative region in the true sense of the word.

Originally, in the state of Wu, there was a supervision of the imperial history at the county level, which was subordinate to the imperial history Zhongcheng, and was responsible for supervising the county guard and other officials.

However, these inspectors of the imperial history stay in one place all the year round, and it is inevitable that they will be infected with bad habits, and a small number of inspectors may collude with local officials to teach and receive each other privately, and they will not be able to play their due role.

In view of this, in order to strengthen the centralization of power in Zhongyang, Qingji decided to set up a state level to supervise the world.

It is worth mentioning that in the previous Dawu, the county was a first-level administrative place, and both military and civilian governance.

The county has three main officials who are not subordinate to each other: the county guard, the supervisor of the imperial history, and the county lieutenant.

As the governor of the county, the county guard is mostly a military general in the border area, and most of the inland officials are appointed by Lang officials, with silver seals and green ribbons and a rank of 2,000 stones.

The power of the county guard of Dawu was very large, except for the county magistrate who was directly appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, the supervisor who was responsible for supervising the county governance, and the county lieutenant who was responsible for commanding the garrison and managing public order, the other officials of the county were appointed and dismissed by the county guard himself.

The county lieutenant is in charge of the county garrison, in charge of public security, detecting thieves, and has a silver seal and a blue ribbon, and a rank ratio of 2,000 stones.

The county lieutenant was directly under the imperial court and fought against the county guard.

The subordinate officials of the county lieutenant have a cheng, and the inland counties have one cheng, and the large counties have two cheng.

The border counties are placed with one lieutenant every 100 miles, two each of the lieutenant and the lieutenant, and the border guard is in charge; The disposition of the pass is subordinate to the county lieutenant.

"Your Majesty, does this state assassin only have the power to inspect and impeach the officials of the department?"

Li Ke asked puzzled.

"Not bad."

"I don't know the official rank of the state assassin?"

"The state assassin and the province will investigate and govern the situation, whether the dethroned can be deposed, and whether the unjust prison can be punished, and it is really all-encompassing for local political affairs."

Qingji said slowly: "The rank of the assassin is six hundred stones, and the copper seal is black." The object of observation is the Taishou of 2,000 stones. I thought that the people who broke the progress had the courage to do things, so they used low-level officials to supervise high-level officials. ”

"The history of the assassin can be passed on, and it is always subordinate to the imperial history."

The history of the state assassin is just a petty official with an official rank of 600 stones?

However, this power is not ordinary.

The history of the state assassin is actually equivalent to the later "Minister of the Imperial Mission", or the Eight Prefecture Governors.

At the height of the Han Dynasty, there were one hundred and three counties, 1,587 counties, and now there are 1,082 counties in Dawu, and there are only forty-five counties.

Qingji felt that the power of the county guard was too great, so the original intention of setting up the state assassin history was to supervise the locality, especially to limit the power of the county guard.

"In addition, the various vassal kingdoms also placed provinces to supervise them."

Qing Ji said earnestly: "The provinces of Khorezm, Lydia, Medes, Macedonia, and Thrace were replaced, a total of thirty-five. ”

"The highest governor of the province is the governor, which is the same as the history of the state assassin, with a term of five years and an official rank of six hundred stones."

The original intention of Qingji to set up a province was painstakingly solitary, and it was completely for the successor monarch to issue the "Tui En Decree", which paved the way.

Once the edict was issued, the vassal kingdoms were weakened step by step, and their true governing power was placed in the hands of the governors of the provinces.

This will actually make Qingji suspicious.

After all, the purpose of his feudal feudal state is to divide the princes and princes to establish a state, which is for his Great Wu Empire, which can be in the same line for eternity.

If there are powerful vassals in the imperial court, the vassal king can launch a group attack on the powerful vassals of the imperial court, and if there is a rebellion in the feudal kingdom that is difficult to suppress, the emperor can also help, or order the nearby feudal kingdom to send troops to suppress it.

The emperor and the vassal king supported each other, and they were all a family, so that the Wu family could live for generations......

Therefore, on the issue of pushing the grace order, Qing Ji was a little hesitant.

"The second and third sons, I want to implement the imperial examination system to replace the inspection system, and select the best and the best."

"This ......"

Li Ke asked again and again: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the imperial examination system is?" ”

"The imperial examination system is to take scholars by examination, and to try to obtain scholars."

It is divided into four levels: the hospital examination, the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination. The college examination is invigilated by the county order, and after passing the examination, it is a show, and then the township examination is invigilated by the county guard, and the one who is in the examination is lifted. ”

"The next level is the examination, which is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the one who obtains the examination is called Gongshi, if you can pass this pass, you are eligible to participate in the highest level of examination, that is, the palace examination."

"The palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself. Those who can pass the palace examination are given the background of jinshi, and can serve in the court or in various places, at least one term of the county order, or an official with an official rank of more than 600 stones. ”

"Where the palace is tested, the first name is the champion, the second is the example, and the third is the flower."

Qingji said slowly: "The imperial examination is divided into two categories: regular and systematic. The annual periodical examination is called the regular department, and the examination held temporarily by the emperor's edict is called the system department. ”

"There are five categories of examination subjects: Jinshi, Ming Jing, Ming Law, Ming Characters, and Ming Arithmetic, and the students are assessed for their poetry and writing, calligraphy, arithmetic, as well as their cognition of classics and decrees."

What is Jinshi and Mingjing?

Jinshi emphasizes poetry, and the Ming scriptures emphasize the scriptures and ink meanings.

The so-called scripture is to open a page of the scriptures, cover the left and right sides, only open a line in the middle, and then cover the three characters with paper stickers, so that the test can be filled. Moyi is a simple written test of the words of the scriptures.

As long as you are familiar with the scriptures and commentaries, you can pass the test, and the poetry needs to have literary talent.

In general, the content of the examination of the imperial examination system still has extremely high requirements for scholars, but it cannot be blindly memorized.

"In addition, there is a 'martial arts', which is presided over by the Ministry of War, and the examination subjects include horse shooting, infantry shooting, flat shooting, horse pistol, weight-bearing, etc. Those who rank higher are awarded officials, followed by promotions by class. ”

Dawu is an empire with strong military strength and prosperous culture, so it is natural to achieve both civil and military skills, and to develop both civil and military forces.

……

"Father, Wu Anjun...... He died of illness. ”

When Qingji returned to the Zide Hall and was about to deal with daily government affairs, he suddenly received a message from Prince Heng.

Qingji, who learned the news, was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "I know." ”

“……”

Qingji's attitude made Prince Heng a little confused.

In the past, when those old ministers died of illness, Qingji was generally very sad.

Why is Qingji's attitude towards Sun Wu's death a little salty?

Numb.

Yes.

Sun Wu was already old, and when he died of illness at this time, he was definitely dying.

Over the years, Ji Ran, Wu Zixu, Wen Chong, Tian Sui Tho and others, the old ministers have died of illness one after another, and they have passed away, and they are also embarrassed and sad.

They are dead one and one less, and they are gone.

"Wu Heng."

"The son is here."

"These old ministers of mine, I sometimes think of them, why do I see things and think about people?"

Qingji sighed and said: "Order people, paint their appearance before their deaths, and place Lingyan Pavilion in the palace, and there are twenty-four people who are still alive, such as Sun Wu, Ji Zha, Wen Chong, Wu Zixu, and Tian Sui Tho, all of whom are worthy of enjoying the Taimiao and being buried in the Purple Mountain Imperial Mausoleum." ”

"Hang their portraits in the Lingyan Pavilion."

"No!"

Earn the name before and after your death!

Qingji is only twenty-four for the burial of the Purple Mountain Imperial Mausoleum, and the number of meritorious persons who are worthy of enjoying the Taimiao.

Now there is also the establishment of Lingyan Pavilion, which is the famous "Lingyan Pavilion Twenty-four Heroes" in history.

Qingji not only wanted to let them live forever with him, but when he thought of these heroes in the future, he would also go to Lingyan Pavilion to take a look and talk about his feelings.

For the successive deaths of these heroes, why not mourn?
