Chapter 555: Resisting the Nine Grades and Initiating the Imperial Examination
Seeing Manzhong's excited appearance, Mi Yang couldn't help laughing.
Mi Yang's smile made Man Pet even more annoyed.
But although he said that Mi Yang killed him with words, he didn't do anything other than get angry.
Although there is no sharp blade in the tent, if you really want to kill yourself, why should you need a sharp blade?
After being annoyed for a while, Mi Yang stepped forward and bowed to Man Jun and said: "Fang Caiyang has negligence in his words, and I hope that Man Jun is not strange." ”
Mi Yang's attitude of apology is quite sincere, and Mi Yang's sincere apology attitude is very lethal with his current identity in the world.
At least after seeing Mi Yang's apology, the anger on Man's face dissipated a lot.
He sat down slowly.
After sitting down, Man Pet stretched out his hand and invited Mi Yang to come and sit down in front of him.
The look of the full favor is so natural, as if the person who just said "kill me with words" is not him.
And the posture of full favor, which is "front and back", is not out of Mi Yang's expectations.
Before coming to the street pavilion, Mi Yang learned the news from the military newspaper that Man Pet was captured for the second time.
After learning the news at that time, Mi Yang had some thoughts in his heart.
When I came to the tent today, after seeing everything that Manpet had prepared for him, the idea in my heart became more confident.
Therefore, Mi Yang deliberately used words to stimulate full favor.
This is not Mi Yangfei's heart that wants to punish the full favor, Mi Yang is to see how he reacts after the heart of the full favor.
Now judging from the full favor's reaction, Mi Yang has a little more grasp of that idea in his heart.
At the invitation of Manzhong, Mi Yang came to sit down opposite him.
After Mi Yang sat down, Man Pet immediately poured a glass of wine for Mi Yang, and after pushing the wine glass to Mi Yang's body, Man Pet said to Mi Yang:
"Fang Cai is too excited."
As a famous celebrity in the world, there is a truth he understands.
That is, when the superior gives you a face, you better take it.
Otherwise, the end will be miserable.
It is precisely because of this principle that Man Favor can rise all the way under Cao Cao's hands.
And Manzhong's current attitude makes Mi Yang quite satisfied.
Mi Yang picked up the wine glass in front of him, looked at the wine in the glass, he was not in a hurry to drink it.
He first said with reminiscence: "Back then, outside Wudang City, Yang was fortunate to meet Manjun.
On that day, Yang invited Manjun twice to serve the Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that in the face of Yang's two invitations, Man Jun resigned.
As the so-called thing is only three, Yang felt that Manjun was resolute at that time, so he did not recruit Manjun for the third time.
Time has passed, the situation in the world is very different from the past, I wonder if Yang makes a third solicitation today, will Man Jun agree? ”
The first thing Mi Yang said when he sat down was very straightforward, and he directly made his intention clear.
It's not that Mi Yang doesn't understand the principle of foreshadowing, it's just that the corresponding foreshadowing has been done in Mi Yang.
Mi Yang believes that he understands the idea of being full of favors at the moment.
Sure enough, in the face of Mi Yang's third solicitation today, Man Pet was not as good as that day, with a great look of resistance on his face.
His face gradually showed a thoughtful look.
Full favor is weighing the pros and cons.
Manzhong is a minister, but he is not a loyal minister.
Or a pure loyal minister, who was almost slaughtered by Cao Cao during his lifetime.
At present, most of Cao Wei's ministers are people who are capable, but at the same time attach great importance to their own interests.
The most important reason why Man Chong refused Mi Yang before was that although the Han Dynasty had many victories in the battle with the Wei army that year, it was still not comparable to the Great Wei in terms of national strength and military strength.
But as Mi Yang said, the situation in the world has changed drastically this year.
In the first battle of Liangzhou, the Wei army was defeated.
Tens of thousands of Han troops took advantage of the Northern Expedition, and for a time the momentum was huge, and it had a sweeping trend in Guanzhong.
In this case, Mi Yang's solicitation words are quite tempting.
It's just that Man Pet didn't rush to make a decision.
Man Pet looked up at Mi Yang and said to him:
"The pet has gray temples, and I don't know how long I can live in the world.
If the general only uses high-ranking officials to lure him, I am afraid that he will still not be able to do so. ”
There is no one else in the tent except Mi Yang and Man Pet, and Mi Yang has begun to speak bluntly, so Man Pet naturally has no need to hide it.
After saying this, Man Pet continued:
"At the beginning of the year, Your Majesty, Emperor Wei issued an edict.
In the edict, Emperor Wei directly implemented the nine-product zhongzheng system that had been implemented before to the whole country, and revised many of the contents of the nine-product zhongzheng system. ”
In the content of the revision, Emperor Wei no longer restricted the children of the world's families. The general was well-informed, and he should know about it.
And with the wisdom of the general, he should know the reason why Emperor Wei wanted to formulate Jiupin Zhongzheng as a national policy at this time. ”
After listening to Manzhong's words, Mi Yang's face froze.
As Man Zhong said, he knew why Cao Pi did this.
The nine-product zhongzheng system was a compromise made by Cao Pi to the world's family in order to successfully claim the emperor.
But Cao Pi, who has extraordinary political talents, is naturally not a fool.
He knows that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system can make the world's families fall in love with him, and he also knows that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is advanced in recommending talents.
But Cao Pi also knows that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is a double-edged sword.
If it is not used well, it is likely to hurt the foundation of dynastic rule - centralized power.
Therefore, before this year, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was implemented in Cao Wei, but it was only limited to certain areas.
Even for the children of the family selected by the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, Cao Pi would not let them occupy important positions all of a sudden.
Under these two constraints, the political influence of the previous Jiupin Zhongzheng system on Cao Wei outweighed the disadvantages.
But just this year, Cao Pi issued an edict to the whole country to personally remove the two sets of shackles that he had put on the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.
What are the consequences of this?
The most direct consequence was that the bad impact of the defeat of Liangzhou was instantly suppressed by Cao Pi.
Because Cao Pi greatly satisfied the desires of the family in Cao Wei.
For example, that Longxi is too guarded by You Chu, do you really think that he is some kind of loyal and courageous Great Wei loyal minister?
It is nothing more than the newly revised Jiupin Zhongzheng system that has greatly benefited You Chu's family, which made You Chu willing to fight for Cao Wei until the last moment.
The local bureaucrats represented by You Chu were willing to resist the Han army, essentially because they wanted to protect their family's vested interests in Cao Wei.
Of course, Cao Pi's release of restrictions on the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, from a long-term perspective, will definitely do more harm than good to Cao Wei.
What is the virtue of the family in the world, Cao Pi's understanding cannot be under Mi Yang.
But Cao Pi didn't have a good way.
Politics and military affairs are closely related, and military defeats are continuous, and only by making political concessions can we barely maintain the foundation of our rule.
At least judging from the current situation, Cao Pi's move of drinking water to quench his thirst has indeed stabilized Cao Wei's situation and stabilized Cao Wei's hearts to the greatest extent.
is like You Chu thousands of miles away, and like the full favor sitting in front of Mi Yang at the moment.
And the reason why Mi Yang's face turned pale after listening to Manzhong's words was that he heard Manzhong's words.
"Manjun wants to suggest to me that in the future, the Nine Grades Zhongzheng System will also be implemented within the territory of the Han Dynasty?"
Mi Yang's guess made Man Pet nod involuntarily.
When facing Mi Yang's solicitation just now, Man Chong first used his old age to show that the high-ranking official Houlu alone could not impress him.
That's a good reason.
After all, from common sense, half of his feet have fallen into the loess, and there is really no need to change the court.
Because of the hard work of most of his life, he climbed to his current high position in Cao Wei.
And if he changes the court, as a general, what kind of position can he climb to after entering the officialdom of the Han Dynasty?
Whether it is the sensitivity of his identity or his old age, he does not have much hope for his future after joining the Han Dynasty.
If you only look at the first half of the full favor, the words of the full pet still reveal the polite rejection of Mi Yang's solicitation.
But if Man Chong really wanted to refuse Mi Yang's words, there was no need for him to put on such a posture today, and there was no need to mention the matter of Jiuping Zhongzheng system to Mi Yang.
The reason why Man Chong did this was just like Mi Yang guessed, hoping that Mi Yang would release greater sincerity to attract him.
For example, he was promised that in the future, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, he would also implement the nine-product Zhongzheng system.
As long as Mi Yang can guarantee this, then Man Pet is naturally willing to work for Mi Yang.
Because even if he enters the Han Dynasty, it is no longer possible to have a high position, but the existence of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system can ensure the glory and wealth of the Manchu clan in the Han Dynasty.
Once a person is old, what he values more is the future of the family.
As for whether Mi Yang's guarantee is useful, Man Pet is not worried about this at all.
Who will call the shots in the future of the Han Dynasty is not only known by people within the Han Dynasty, but also by the people in Cao Weizhong.
Facing Mi Yang's speculation, Man Chong nodded calmly and said, "The general is wise." ”
Because of his optimism about Mi Yang, Man Pet unconsciously praised Mi Yang.
It's just that after hearing the praise of Manzhong on himself, Mi Yang almost started the case directly.
A mallet!
Mi Yang's face suddenly became serious, and he directly refused to be full of favors:
"The nine-product zhongzheng system will never be implemented in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
This is the guarantee of loneliness. ”
Mi Yang's resolute refusal made Man Pet surprised.
He didn't understand why Mi Yang would refuse this condition.
"What kind of influence does the Jiupin Zhongzheng system have on the hearts of the people in the world, it is impossible for the general not to see it.
As long as the general can implement the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, then with the prestige of the general in the world and the belonging of the hearts of the people in the world, how can the general not compete with Cao Wei.
This is not only conducive to the Han Dynasty being able to dominate the world faster, but also for the general himself, it is also a matter of benefit for a thousand years, why did the general refuse? ”
Full of pet's rejection of Mi Yang is full of incomprehension.
In Man Chong's view, most of the reason why Mi Yang recruited himself three times was not because he valued himself more, but because he valued his influence in the Central Plains family.
Because the Han and Cao Wei have been at war for so many years, although there are some generals who surrender to the Han, there has never been a famous man with a very high status in the world who has taken the initiative to abandon Wei and join the Han.
This is not conducive to the rapid expansion of the Han Dynasty's influence in the world.
At this point, Mi Yang urgently needs to recruit himself to make up for this shortcoming.
But if Mi Yang had this purpose, then he had no reason to refuse his proposal.
Because accepting him alone may only win the hearts of some families in the Central Plains.
But if the nine-product Zhongzheng system is implemented, then the hearts of most families in the world will gradually belong to Mi Yang's body.
A man in power who has won all battles is willing to protect his own interests, so why not like it?
And in the last sentence full of favor, what he said is even more profound.
Mi Yang's own benefit is in the future, thinking of Cao Pi's previous move to obtain the throne with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, Man Chong almost didn't say those two words directly.
Man Chong thought that his proposal was beneficial to Mi Yang, but he really didn't understand why Mi Yang refused.
But Man Chong didn't give up yet, and he went on to persuade Mi Yang: "As long as the general can accept the advice of the favor, and the favor is willing to be the messenger of the general, go and say that Longxi is too guarded by Youchu." ”
Since the benefits that are too far away are not easy to cash, the man feels that he can give Mi Yang a big gift first.
Even not only You Chu of Longxi County, Manzhong believes that as long as Mi Yang makes a guarantee, the magistrates of many counties in Guanzhong will ring Mi Yang.
This will make Mi Yang's next move to regain Guanzhong have twice the result with half the effort.
But in the face of the temptation of full favor again, Mi Yang's resolute attitude remained unchanged.
"Just a little travel, will you take it to heart?
Even in the entire Guanzhong, Lone also has self-confidence, and recovers with Lone's efforts.
Why compromise? ”
Full Pet said it so clearly, of course it is impossible for Mi Yang not to understand the benefits that Man Pet said.
But don't forget the past, the teacher of the future.
If he implements the nine-product Zhongzheng system, it will indeed make the Han Dynasty have less resistance in the future unification war.
But the nine-product system is a thing that has left endless disasters.
There is a stark lesson in history about this kind of thing.
More than 200 years ago, in order to quickly pacify the war in the world, Han Shizu made compromises to the world's wealthy families.
Under the compromise of Han Shizu, the process of pacifying the world was indeed a lot less difficult, and finally succeeded in recovering the Han Dynasty.
However, after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the disadvantages of the previous Han Shizu's compromise with the wealthy families of the world were also reflected.
In the two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was not a year when politics was not chaotic.
Isn't the biggest reason for the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty also the bane planted at the beginning of the founding of the country?
Besides, the occurrence of the five chaos in later generations also has the credit of the nine-product zhongzheng system?
Mi Yang's big man who wants to recover is a big man who people are proud of, and he is a big man who can bring stability to the people.
It is by no means the kind of deformed dynasty that is dressed in the coat of Han on the surface, but is actually a soft Jin on the inside.
In front of full favor, Mi Yang once again reiterated his attitude:
"The benefits are in the future, and if the people are benefited, they are not alone.
And for the people can benefit for thousands of years, lonely willing to work in the contemporary! ”
What are young people afraid of being tired?
In exchange for the peace and joy of his descendants, Mi Yang is very willing to do such a thing.
After realizing Mi Yang's resolute attitude, Man Chongliang was speechless for a long time.
Sometimes he really doesn't know whether to call Ji Hanzhong stupid or full of ideals.
Manzhong's face was gloomy, and he thought that with Mi Yang's refusal, he would no longer have a fate with Dahan.
But Mi Yang's next words rekindled his hope.
"Jiupin Zhongzheng will not implement the system of loneliness, but loneliness is not unwilling to benefit the world.
There is only one system, can the king be willing to listen to it? ”
Man Pet was aroused by Mi Yang's words: "Huh? ”
Seeing the curious look of the full pet, the corners of Mi Yang's mouth showed a smile.
"This system is called the imperial examination."
Mi Yang's smile was very bright, as bright as a big bad wolf coaxing the little white rabbit.
Three points of sincerity, seven points of cunning.
