After leaving the examination room, Shi Min and Yu Wenjun found a restaurant together, sat down, and ordered wine and food.

"What do you want, two guest officers?"

"What good food and wine do you have here?" Shi Min asked.

The guy threw the rag on his shoulder, and said with a flattering smile: "Good question, guest officer." Our store has good dishes Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, dry braised shark fin, lion's head, Longjing shrimp, called flower chicken, etc., if the wine is good, there are aged wines, daughter red, bamboo leaf green, monkey brew and Jiudan gold liquor, etc., this Jiudan gold liquor was once the imperial wine of the Han Dynasty, inherited to this day, has been circulated among the people for hundreds of years. There is also Guangling San, which is a fine wine from the current King of Wei! ”

"Guest, I don't know if you know. Guangling San's mellow fragrance is famous far and wide, and its intensity is far better than that of ordinary spirits! This Guangling San, in my Yecheng is also priceless! This year, King Wei's Liyang Laojiao has produced 10,000 jars! As soon as it was produced, it was sold out. Even our restaurant only purchased twenty altars of Guanglingsan! ”

Hearing this, Shi Min smiled faintly: "Then give us an altar of Guanglingsan, and two altars of ten years of daughter Hong." If you want to talk, let's come to the fish-flavored shredded pork, braised lion's head, called flower chicken and kung pao chicken. ”

"Gotcha!" The guy suddenly smiled, Shi Min wanted all the famous wines and dishes of their restaurant, and the price was not too much.

"Brother Yu, what else do you want?"

Yu Wenjun shook his head and said, "No need." I can't eat any more. ”

"Let's go down."

"Gotcha!"

When that guy went down, Shi Min couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Yu, what do you think of today's exam?" ”

"Not satisfactory." Yu Wenjun said, "I thought that for this exam, the imperial court examination would only consume four books and five classics, or a subset of scriptures and histories, but I didn't expect to make an article about King Wei's new policy." I didn't have any preparation beforehand, but I had already written some of my thoughts into it. ”

"Brother Yu, do you think this method of selecting officials like the imperial court is feasible?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenjun thought about it, and finally said: "But throughout the ages, most of the methods of selecting officials were through the recommendation of ministers or localities, the inspection system of the Han Dynasty, and the nine-grade Zhongzheng system since the Wei and Jin dynasties. It is not uncommon for Zhao Guo to pass the exam and enter the official career like Zhao Guo now, but the scene will never be so grandiose. ”

Shi Min bowed slightly.

There are basically four kinds of official election systems in ancient China: the hereditary official system, the inspection system, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and the imperial examination system.

The Shiguan system mainly existed in the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, and as the name suggests, the officials were mainly produced through the "Shiqing Shilu" system.

The inspection system is the establishment and development of a complete set of official selection system during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which includes local inspection and the emperor's recruitment, mainly based on virtue and talent as the basis for selecting talents, and filial piety and honesty as an important examination subject, so people often "raise filial piety and honesty".

The nine-product Zhongzheng system is an important system of electing officials during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the moral and moral ability of the characters is evaluated, and the distinction between the higher and lower is the ninth grade, and the grade is evaluated, which becomes the basis for awarding officials, in the late Cao Wei period, especially in the Jin Dynasty, the nine-grade Zhongzheng system has changed, because the official position of the Zhongzheng is monopolized by the family, and the selection of officials is only based on the family background, and there is a situation where the hierarchy is strict with "the upper grade has no cold door, and the lower grade has no scholars".

The imperial examination system was the most important system for selecting officials in Chinese feudal society. It was founded in the Sui Dynasty, perfected in the Tang Dynasty, developed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and declined in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Pass the imperial examination and open the career to the entire landlord class.

And in this era, almost all countries use the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and some of them are made through inspection.

"Not bad. Brother Yu, since ancient times, the method of electing officials has emerged in an endless stream, some have been appreciated by the monarch, some have been recommended by ministers or localities, and some have passed the hereditary lineage, and all these are too numerous to mention. However, these oath-taking routes seem to be a little unsatisfactory, and the people who are appreciated by the monarch are certainly very talented, like Shang Ying during the Warring States Period, Han Xin during the Chu and Han Dynasties, they were all drawn by their own monarchs in the microscopic end, and they seem to have a discerning eye, but people like Shang Ying and Han Xin are really rare, and there are not many people like them who have done so well in a high position at the beginning, and who are completely competent. ”

"The world's talents are more inexperienced and lack of exercise. Therefore, whether it is the talents who came out of the Recruitment Hall, or the students who came out of the Jixia School Palace and the Guozi Prison, or the scholars who came through the recruitment order, and were recommended by the minister or the locality, they all passed the scientific examination and entered the official career. ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenjun's expression was a little complicated: "Brother Ran, how do you know so clearly?" ”

"Uh......"

Shi Min was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This is all my opinion." ”

Yu Wenjun shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the fact that it doesn't look like it, I really thought that Brother Ran, you were the King of Wei in the current Zhao Kingdom." ”

“……”

Shi Min talked with Yu Wenjun for a while, and then put all kinds of wine and delicacies on the table.

"Come, Brother Yu, you and I will drink hard. For your and my fame, congratulations! ”

"Cheers."

Seeing Shi Min raise his wine glass and toast to himself, Yu Wenjun was not easy to refuse, so he picked up the glass that was also full of wine and had a toast with Shi Min.

The Guangling that came out of the Liyang wine cellar was really strong enough, and he only drank one glass, Shi Min was like no one, but Yu Wenjun was red-faced, and he felt a little dizzy.

Looking at Yu Wenjun with a ruddy face, Shi Min was a little funny, it seems that this "brother Yu" of his is really too strong to drink.

Jiankang, the palace of the Jin Kingdom.

"Qin Mu, the envoy of Xuanzhao State, meets you——"

Qin Mu, who was originally waiting outside the main hall, heard this, immediately threw off his wide sleeves, crossed his hands, and under the guidance of an inner attendant, he entered the Taiji Hall of the Jin Kingdom with the two ministers from Yecheng behind him.

The political hall of the Jin Kingdom, the Taiji Hall is very luxurious, covers an extremely wide area, and the degree of magnificence is not inferior to the political hall of the Zhao State, but just like the national situation of the Jin Kingdom, it is more than magnificent, and the majestic atmosphere is insufficient.

In front of more than 200 ministers of the Jin State, under His Majesty's platform, Qin Mu and the other two envoys of the Zhao State all bowed.

"Zhao Guoda Honglu Qin Mu, see the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom! The emperor is ten thousand years! Ten thousand years of the Jin Kingdom! ”

Qin Mu's etiquette was still okay, he was clear-eyed, he didn't bend his knees, he just bowed and crossed his hands to show respect. On the one hand, Qin Mu is facing the emperor of the Jin State, and the etiquette cannot be abolished, but on the other hand, Qin Mu is the envoy on behalf of the Zhao State, so he is neither humble nor arrogant, this is what Qin Mu should do.

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

It was a young man with a pale face and a sickly face.

What caught Qin Mu's eyes was a face without any healthy atmosphere.

Under the crown, twelve strings of glass beads could not hide his lifeless appearance, sitting on the dragon chair, but he could not sit upright, he could only hold the armrest of the dragon chair with one hand, his body curled, as if he was very struggling, and even his words were weak.

That's right, this person is the current emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Sima Yue.

When he saw Sima Yue, Qin Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: How short-lived the Jin family is!

Before he saw Sima Yue, Qin Mu was still in awe of this Jin Emperor, but unfortunately, when he saw Sima Yue like this, he couldn't help but be disappointed!
