Liu Che issued his first edict to the whole world, which is about seeking talents, and now the Han Dynasty implements the inspection system, mainly by the princes and princes to recommend officials, directly out of office, and there is also a kind of selection of those virtuous people from various counties, into the Taixue, as a reserve for officials, the emperor may choose people from here at any time.

This is "to inspect outstanding people and noble people to fill the national government", that is, to "inspect talents, show filial piety and honesty, still be loyal and righteous, and be benevolent", which is an improved version of the inspection system.

It was certainly not as fair and advanced as the imperial examination system of later generations, but in this era, it was a very advanced system.

It is advanced because it has a system for judging talents, and this system contains moral evaluation, and Rock's view of meritocracy is somewhat dissatisfied.

This kind of thinking started from Ji Zhao, now people always think that they have seen moral corruption, but Ji Zhao has seen more, if a world is not bound by morality and the legal system, it is a troubled era, the most terrible is the five dynasties and ten countries, it is simply a hell on earth.

If a country has no morality and only the rule of law, then there will be countless loopholes in the law, and then it will be said in a righteous and stern way, this is legal, and I am a law-abiding citizen.

The deeper you go into society, the more you discover the importance of morality.

Why should the rule of ethics be the mainstay, supplemented by the rule of law, because the rule of law only provides the bottom line, and the prosperity and positive construction of a society are based on the rule of virtue.

Or it could be argued that if the law does not protect the smooth implementation of morality, then the law should be changed.

There are talented people everywhere in this world, and even in the mountains and wilderness, there are people who can be used, but it is difficult to see people with high moral character.

Virtue is not high, the more talented and learned, the more terrible, an unvirtuous man can only kill one person, but a virtuous talent can harm the world, the more talented he is without virtue, the more talented he is, the more he cannot be allowed to enter the officialdom, this is the criterion of Luo Xin's rule over the years.

"I have tasted it:

Since ancient times, there is no country that has not attached importance to military affairs that will not perish, there is no country that has not attached importance to generals since ancient times that has not weakened, and a country that has not attached importance to soldiers since ancient times has not had an army that will not be scattered.

The Han Dynasty has experienced the recuperation of Emperor Gao, Emperor Xiaohui, and Emperor Xiaowen, and now it has been peaceful for decades, and the prosperity of the Central Plains has surpassed any previous era.

I saw that everyone was intoxicated by this, and thought that the war was completely away, and no one could challenge the Great Han anymore.

I'm very worried about this.

Can the majestic military horses of the founding of the country in the past still hold a sword?

The world has not yet calmed down, there are still countless Hu people in the north of the Han Dynasty, there are countless barbarians in the south of the Han Dynasty, there is a steady stream of Qiang Rong in the west, and even the land of Donghu and the peninsula in the past.

Isn't there a hidden crisis beneath the heyday?

I heard that hundreds of years ago in the Song Kingdom, there was a rich man who exchanged all his money for grain and prepared to make a fortune when he was preparing for the Chinese New Year, and his neighbors saw him and advised him, 'You are already very rich, why do you want to earn so much money?' Now you should buy swords to protect your money, you have bought all the food now, and the robbers will come to rob later, should you use the grain to fight the robbers at that time? The rich man did not listen, but when the robber came and robbed, the rich man said, 'Lord robber, this is food for you,' and the robber killed him.

Be wary.

I want to open up a huge existence in the royal gardens outside Chang'an, adopt the orphans of those soldiers who died for the country, and select the outstanding heirs to form my forbidden army, so that all the soldiers in the world can see that the emperor of the Han Dynasty has not forgotten their contributions and merits, and I want to relieve the worries of all the soldiers who fought bloodily.

I also thought that the inspection should not only be to investigate those who were civilized, but also the soldiers who came out of the army, as long as they were talented, they should also be recommended, how many commanders in this world are as talented as Han Wumu? ”

The rumor caused by Liu Che's order is really not small, because in this era, although there is no emphasis on literature and light on military force, and even to some extent, military generals are above civilian officials, after all, generals are in the prime minister, but most of the generals are family and have been passed down for at least two or three generations.

Han Xin's kind of thing is really rare, and it belongs to non-humans.

Now that Liu Che wants to promote some lowly people, he will naturally attract attention, which is why Liu Che wants to communicate with Luo Jing in advance.

……

With a gust of wind blowing, in this rather dry season, the city and outside the city are always full of layers of floating soil, the cold wind in the north is like a knife, a light blow, the rammed earth built of the city wall is blown down a layer, and then drift around, and then fall on the faces of the soldiers guarding the city wall, making a sound of babbling, complaining two sentences and continuing to stand guard on duty, dare not relax.

Because this is one of the most important cities in the vast territory of the Han Dynasty, it is the only way from the Hetao to Chang'an, guarding the safety of the emperor, behind them is the prosperous Central Plains, and in front of them are the Hu people, the tribes of the Huns try to go south from time to time, but they seem to be afraid of something, they are always small groups of people, and they can't pose any threat.

At the foot of the city wall, the newly changed soldiers are listening to the veterans tell stories passed down from generation to generation, "It is said that decades ago, when the Han Dynasty had just been established, or when Emperor Gao was in power, the Han Dynasty at that time was not as strong as it is now, but the Xiongnu were particularly strong, and even wanted to enter the Central Plains."

It is said that King Su happened to wake up from his slumber at that time, so he sent down a divine punishment and sent the prince of Zhaogong to make a heavy snowfall on the grassland where the Huns were entrenched, and then the border was peaceful for thirty years.

The prince of Zhaogong said that King Su fell into a deep sleep again, and he didn't know when the next time he woke up, alas, I don't know if I can see King Su in this life, so I will die without regrets. ”

Everyone was a little regretful when they heard this, and one of the soldiers shouted: "Not to mention seeing the manifestation of King Su, if I can go to Zhaocheng to see the Lord of Zhao, I will be satisfied, the Lord of Zhaogong is the Lord of the Four Seasons, the only living god in the world." ”

As soon as he said that, everyone's minds opened, and they shouted and laughed, "It is said that if you become a big official in the imperial court, you can get something called, and it is said that this thing will be presented to King Su in the future, is this considered to be seeing King Su?" ”

Everyone asked, "The officials of the imperial court? Our general should be considered a big official, can he get this number? ”

"I can't."

A voice suddenly came from the outermost part of the crowd, and everyone followed the sound to see that it was a new recruit who had just arrived, his appearance was very heroic, his eyes were very bright, and there was a hint of humility, his appearance was very handsome, if the dirt on his face was removed, he must be a handsome young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

These people all know him, his name is Wei Qing, it is said that the magnates of Chang'an City committed crimes, he is the slave of the magnates, the magnates were executed, everyone in the mansion was exiled, he has no responsibility, there is no need to go to Lingnan, so he was assigned here, so the people who were exiled to the border for such crimes can also be said to be the most unpromising people in the army.

However, this group of soldiers didn't care about this, they wanted this recruit to come from Chang'an City after all, and they should know a lot of things, so they came around one after another, and said with a smile: "Wei Qing, you are from Chang'an, you must be knowledgeable, tell your brothers quickly." ”

Wei Qing smiled slightly, of course he didn't open his mouth to show off, but to blend in and increase his chances of survival in the future, "The ministers of the imperial court will be given nicknames after they die, which was created by King Su and his old man a thousand years ago, and it has been used for a thousand years. ”

"Wow!"

Although everyone didn't understand it very well, it was a thousand years, and it sounded very powerful, and it was something created by King Su and his old man, so it was even more powerful.

"The nickname is not only praised, but also scolded, if it is scolded, and presented to King Su, it is not a glorious ancestor, but a shame.

As for who can get the title, it has to be a big official, those princes and kings and princes can get the title, if there is no title of princes and princes, then you have to be a real big official, even the county guards these big officials can't do it, you need three dukes and nine kings. ”

When Wei Qing said this, everyone dispersed with some disappointment, and the prince and prince could only get it, so how could it be, they had never read a book, so they couldn't be big officials at all.

Seeing this, Wei Qing said: "You don't have to despair, as long as you fight bravely on the battlefield and get the appreciation of the nobles, you may not be able to enter the office through the inspection.

And His Majesty also said that the country should be kind to the children of those heroes and martyrs, Your Majesty has opened up a large area in the royal garden, if there are soldiers who die on the battlefield, Your Majesty will adopt their orphans, and the glory of the ancestors is today. ”

Wei Qing's words shocked everyone, Liu Che's order actually didn't reach the ears of these lowest-level soldiers at all, until these people died on the battlefield, I am afraid they don't know what their death can bring.

But now that Wei Qing told them, it made everyone excited, and suddenly they felt that there was hope in life.

"Your Majesty's Heavenly Grace!"

One person cheered, everyone cheered, they surrounded Wei Qing and laughed, grateful for the news that Wei Qing brought.

"Knock knock!"

A group of people were laughing, and suddenly the gongs and drums on the city wall sounded, and in the distance, there was a faint beacon fire burning in the distance.

Everyone was shocked.

A shrill voice rang out, followed by a loud roar, "Enemy attack!" The Huns are coming! ”

As the sound sounded, the entire city seemed to move in an instant, and Wei Qing felt his heart pounding.
