There is no cold door in the upper grade, there is no family in the lower grade, there is a public door, and there is a secretary in the court.

This is a sentence that circulated in the Central Plains at the end of Cao Wei a hundred years ago, which is the popular selection and employment system, the nine-product Zhongzheng system.

Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi, changed his father's meritocracy, regardless of his origin, and sold more things to negotiate with the gate lords in order to gain their support.

After the gate valves supported Cao Pi as the emperor, Chen Qun came up with the "Nine Products Zhongzheng System".

The collective final carnival belonging to the gate valves begins!

However, then again, what exactly is the Nine Grades Zhongzheng System?

The so-called "nine grades" is to imitate the model of dividing talents into several levels according to the inspection system, and the talents are divided into nine grades, which are upper, middle, upper, middle, middle, lower, and lower, and Zhongzheng can be understood as the referee for the selection of talents, which is theoretically filled by virtuous central officials, and is divided into big and small Zhongzheng.

At that time, Chen Qun's determination of the Jianghu Qunxia's 'Three Products and Twelve Realms' was also based on this theory.

How? First of all, after the imperial court issued a demand for talents, the magistrates began to recommend talents, and then the Zhongzheng compiled these 'talents' into a book, and then divided them into nine classes according to their virtues and talents, and awarded official positions, and the incumbent officials were promoted or dismissed according to the evaluation of the Zhongzheng.

It can be seen that on the surface, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is still a system of selecting officials by the virtuous and recommending the virtuous and meritocracy, and the power to select and use talents is transferred from the local government to the central government, which seems to be an improvement compared with the probationary system, and it seems to have effectively consolidated the power of the central government.

However, in combination with the above, it is not difficult to see that the core of this system is actually the probationary system that does not change the soup without changing the medicine, and it has not departed from its subjective mode of selecting people, and the exercise of imperial power is much regressive compared to the probationary system.

In addition, the children of the poor family also had to endure the oppression of the system that established the privileged status of the gate lords, such as the land occupation system, the eight discussions, the official office, and the ransom punishment.

In short, the birth of this system actually marked the complete hollowing out of the emperor by the class of men and scholars, and the re-formation of aristocratic politics.

The clans were in power and each made their own profits, and this is also known as one of the important reasons for the final collapse of the Cao Wei Empire.

A hundred years ago, the unification of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Cheng was very aware of the disadvantages of the 'Nine Grades Zhongzheng System', he eliminated all kinds of obstacles, and re-activated the inspection system and the sub-feudal system to curb the power of the clan in the local area.

After more than fifty years, the power of the clan was too small to threaten the imperial power.

But who would have thought that after plugging this hole, another bag would emerge, and the power of the local princes and kings gradually grew, and at the critical juncture of the Qin and Han wars, they raised troops to rebel.

Forced into desperation, Emperor Shenwu had to reactivate the clan, however, he did not learn the lesson of Cao Wei's failure, and gave the clan greater power after the war, until more than ten years ago, when the world clan troubled Gyeonggi, and the royal power was officially set aside at that moment!

The clans regained the right to appoint and dismiss local officials, and began to grow freely in their own territories.

More than ten years have passed, although under the mediation of Liu Yan, the son of heaven, the power of the clan has been suppressed again, and some prefectures and counties (such as Quzhou) are still controlled by the clan lords, and it is difficult for the imperial power to touch and the royal decree to be issued.

If it were me, I would have tried my best to eradicate the world!

......

Get back to business.

Chen Buye was born in a poor family, he has no backer, no qualifications, in Chang'an City, where there are countless powerful and talented royal families, the reason why he can be appreciated by Liu Yan is only because Chen Buye is not only upright, but also extremely cautious, and the palace gate under his patrol, even a mouse wants to get in, and it takes a lot of effort to let his body in.

Of course, gods such as Daqin Liu, Juyang Liu, and Luo Hongyi of the Xiaoxin Sword Sect who are only one line away from penetrating the Xuan, want to break through Chen Buye

The garrison gates, that's a different story!

Out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Buye did not stop for a moment, for the sake of prudence, he immediately returned to his marching station, and immediately ordered the deputy general to gather the 3,000 soldiers and horses he brought with him, explore the terrain, and prepare the whole army, while he was in the tent, picked up a lamp like a bean, opened the map of Goguryeo, and studied it by himself.

After Chen Buye escaped, the big tent of the Chinese army smiled again, and Lang Lang's laughter continued to come out.

Liu Huai, the governor of the capital, was also very interested, he raised his handsome eyebrows, which were similar to his father's seven points, and chatted with everyone from the south of the world to the north of the earth, from the extreme south to the sea, and all the way to the towering and continuous Taibai Mountain at his feet. Xiu Shu

Before you know it, night is approaching.

Chen Buye also re-seated from his military tent, Liu Huai made an excuse at will, waved his hand, and plates of fragrant and tender deboned meat that were stewed by the fire were served by the maids brought by Liu Huai, and the aroma of the meat suddenly overshadowed the incense, causing everyone to salivate.

"The snow in Taibai Mountain does not melt over the years, and the flesh and bones of Da Bo Prefecture are not tired of eating."

Liu Huai used a jade knife to gently cut a piece of fat meat, forked it with a knife, and gently swayed it in front of him, "You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, otherwise you will drink a sip of wine and eat a mouthful of meat, what kind of fairy life should it be!"

After speaking, he handed the meat to his mouth and chewed it with a big mouthful.

Not to mention, this appearance really has a hint of a fierce general in the army, but it is just less murderous.

On the one-day march, the generals were also hungry during the banquet, and they were not too formal, and began to feast.

Before the war began, the entire barracks was already filled with the joy of victory!

......

The mountain is not high, my heart is higher than the sky. - Liu Huai

Before leaving, Liu Huai set the tone of victory for his expedition under the premise of not knowing the outcome of the victory.

According to his plan after the wine and prosperity that night, this expedition to expand the territory was a godsend, on the way back to take advantage of the momentum of the victory to eradicate Quzhou Jiangfeng, and then go south to the five counties of Quzhou to seize the small number of fields and private soldiers of the eight major clans in Quzhou.

In this way, the Central Plains is peaceful, the world is open, and his own prince must be famous and powerful.

What genius boy Liu Yi, what Xiao Lingyu who is expected to be enlightened, what sword leader Liu Anjia, will not be able to kneel at his feet when the time comes?

Thinking that he was about to become famous, and thinking of the approving eyes that his father Liu Yan threw at him on the day of the return of the class teacher, Liu Huai had a great appetite, and couldn't help but gnaw a few more bites of fat.

In less than half an hour, a guard outside the tent knocked on the door of the tent and entered, bowed down and said, "Governor Yudu, Taibai General Mo Jingchun, Wuning General Mu Yu, Wuci General Sun Hui, Xiangping General Liu Qin, and Houcheng General Liu Han led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from their headquarters to arrive at the same time. The five generals have now dismounted at Yuanmen, waiting for the order of the governor."

"Good! All right! The feast is in full swing, and five generals and soldiers are coming, and they are coming at the right time. Liu Huai got up, overjoyed, he didn't take care of his appearance, and strode out of the table.

Out of the tent, Liu Huai squinted sharply at the guard who came to report the report, remembering that he had not yet eaten the flesh and fantasy of the heart, a trace of displeasure flashed on his face, and he said as he walked, "I can't distinguish between the main and the secondary, and it disturbs the interest of me and the generals, so I should fight!" Whoever comes, the rod will be thirty years!"

Watching the innocent soldier being dragged down and executed, the generals listened to the wailing and remained silent.

"Fourth Master, what do you think of the student scolding that guard?" On the way to Yuanmen, Liu Huai asked Xiang Huan Wen in a low voice.

Huan Wen's lips glanced at him casually, and then he said with a smile, "Although the Metropolitan Governor has the Divine Strategy, he has just arrived, and he needs to be severely frosted to be powerful, and this military power is just right!"

"Those who know me, the fourth master also." Liu Huai laughed and couldn't help but speed up his pace. xь.

The generals who followed him had different expressions, Chen Buye and Liu Ben, with an unbelievable light in their eyes.

Under the instruction of Liu Huai and Wang Biaozhi's arrangement, on Yuanmen Avenue, Hu Weiwei was lined up into a more than one-mile-long Jiashiyong

Dao, the guards work in pairs, one sets the red battle flag, the other holds the silver spear, the red flag is displayed, the moon shines through the gun, and the sound is magnificent.

At the gate of Yuanmen, Mo Jingchun, who had bright eyes, Mu Yu, who was dark-skinned and broad-forehead, Sun Yun, who was young and vigorous, and Liu Qin and Liu Han, who were regarded as straw bales in the east, were all waiting outside Yuanmen.

Behind the five people, the military lanterns are tall, the military flag is high, and the lights are endless, and these five people are like five optimus pillars, supporting a piece of the sky in the eastern border of the empire.

Liu Huai arrived, saw five majestic figures in the distance, overjoyed, he trotted to the gate, regardless of the majesty.

Recently, under Huan Wen's reminder, Liu Huai tidied up his makeup and stood in front of the five people with his head held high.

"Haha! Hahaha! Get up quickly, five generals, get up quickly." Liu Huailang stepped forward with a smile, supported the five of them one by one, asked for warmth, and said sincerely, "This trip is not a minister, and there are five generals to accompany you, why worry about the failure of the great cause? Come, come, come, the meat is ready, and the generals will come with me into the tent to speak."

Liu Huai's is exactly the same as his father Liu Yan, with a goose egg face, big eyes, thick eyebrows and a high nose, his face can be described as handsome and extraordinary.

The group, led by Liu Huai, walked through the Jiashi Yongdao with a smile and entered the big tent of the Chinese army.

After entering the tent and seeing the brocade clothes and jade food, the expressions of the five generals in the east were a little different.

Mo Jingchun's brows tightened, Mu Yu was silent, and Sun Yun's expression turned cold.

This is a march that can immediately pull out the camp to fight, and it is a battlefield killing that can be regarded as a luxury package of boiled meat, salt, and snow water, even if you Liu Huai is the prince and the governor of the capital, you don't have to be so extravagant!

Liu Qin and Liu Han simply smiled, and immediately had a gluttonous meal when they entered the tent, which covered up the short-term loss of color of the three generals.

The changes in the three of them were naturally not noticed by Liu Huai, who was extremely excited, but they could not escape the eyes of Chen Buye and Huan Wen, Chen Buye sighed slightly after seeing it, and Huan Wen raised his eyebrows, and there was no other action.

There were suddenly five more people in the big tent of the Chinese army, and they suddenly looked a little cramped.
