Liu Xie understands politics, even if he has been a puppet for so many years, the government has been controlled for a long time, but it does not mean that he does not know how to balance the situation.

At the Golden Palace Court, he did not first raise the issue of the imperial examination system, but threw out a direction, and he wanted to rebuild the Tai Academy.

Taixue, the earliest was established in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Che adopted Dong Zhongshu's three strategies of heaven and man, set up an institution of Taixue, and was responsible for the collection of classics, which can be regarded as the highest institution of learning to inherit Confucian classics.

After Cao Cao ran away, he took away a large number of officials, but because the institutions at all levels were not damaged, as long as these gaps were filled, they could actually operate.

At the end of the Tai Academy, Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to it in the past, and Liu Xie didn't have the heart to care about it, but now that he rashly brought it up, everyone will only think that the Son of Heaven has just returned to the capital now, and he just wants to show grace and prestige, of course, there is no reason to refute it.

What we have to do is nothing more than to select the dean and academician of the Tai Academy, this institution has no power, and even the dean is only qualified to participate in the court meeting, which is similar to a royal family master, and no one is rare.

It's just that when Liu Xie asked the inner servants to spread the list of responsibilities of the Tai Academy, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

In the future, the Tai Academy will add a new responsibility, compiling the biannual imperial examinations for each prefecture and county, and the results of the imperial examinations will be directly included in an important indicator selected by officials.

In other words, in the future, the examination questions in the Tai Academy can directly give birth to officials at all levels, so that the Tai Academy, which was not valued in the past, will become an employing institution in one fell swoop, and the power is immeasurable.

Liu Xie is very smart and knows how to do and say to minimize the turmoil, he only mentioned the scientific examination of the Tai Academy, but did not immediately explain the issue of abolishing the probation system.

But this is enough to make the court stunned, the imperial examination system is still too advanced for this era, and it is difficult for these erudite ministers to look at this problem beyond the shackles of the times.

However, human nature is always subconsciously thinking, whether the implementation of this policy is beneficial or disadvantageous to oneself.

Judging from the duties of the Tai Academy taught by the inner attendant in front of him, it is obvious that the power of the dean of the Tai Academy has been increased, after all, he is the person in charge of the question, if he wants to leak secrets, wouldn't it be equivalent to opening the back door directly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister would like to ask if this imperial examination is ready to replace the inspection examination." The first to speak was Situ Yang Biao, who was over the age of six.

Even if he was once deprived of his official position by Cao Cao, he still has the power to promote, so now this issue is what he is most concerned about.

This question also made the quiet pins fall of the entire Golden Temple audible, and everyone held their breath and waited for an answer.

"I want to brainstorm and open up the way for the world to gather talents, and with this imperial examination, no matter whether you are poor or rich, you can be loyal to the country if you are talented."

Liu Xie finished the cliché, and as soon as the conversation changed, he still threw out the most headache problem, "As for the way of inspection, although it has undergone changes, it can finally be a single channel, and the use of gathering talents is not as good as the imperial examination, so let it pass." ”

There was the first uproar in the courtroom.

You must know that even during Cao Cao's dictatorship, it was always quietly handed down here.

But today, Liu Xie's words caused an uproar in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for a few people who knew the inside story, they all talked about it, and it became a vegetable market.

Such a scene can actually be regarded as a loss of identity, and you can also say that you are despising the imperial power.

But Liu Xie's heart suddenly became excited.

Because at this moment, he finally found a trace of imperial dignity.

His own words can make the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly change, is this what it feels like to have imperial power in hand?

Liu Xie has been a puppet for too long, so that this kind of political whirlpool can make him experience a little refreshment.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination sounds like a wide open door to recruit talents for the imperial court, but if you think about it, the disadvantages are endless."

The first person who didn't agree was Yang Biao, who held his back a little stiff and said in a deep voice: "According to the implementation of this imperial examination, it is necessary for Tai Academy to set up examination questions, and then set up examination rooms in various states, counties and counties.

Your Majesty, there are so many counties and so many counties in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, if this imperial examination system is adopted in all places, then how many people are needed to maintain the examination room, how many people are needed to review the examination papers, it takes a long time, it hurts manpower, and it loses financial resources. ”

Indeed, compared with the probation system, only the officials need to have a firm grasp of the character and talent of the recommended person to recommend it to the imperial court directly, and then after a certain assessment can pass the test, it can be put into use immediately.

Yang Biao's words are not untargeted.

With Yang Biao rushing ahead, others began to pour out.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this method of selecting talents not only costs the people and money, but also has a great risk of fraud, please think about it, once this exam question comes out, no matter how confidential it is, it will always be delegated from Gyeonggi to the governors of various prefectures, and then to the county government at all levels, how many people will be there, who can guarantee that the test questions will not be leaked.

And once it is leaked, won't the participating candidates be confused? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded the proposal, this law not only costs the people and money, there is a crisis of leakage, but what is serious is that if the candidates only need to answer the questions to become officials, then, who can guarantee their character, if there are great traitors and evil people who are lucky enough to pass the exam, then the people of the place will not have to fall into the water and fire."

"Your Majesty, this law is absolutely not feasible, if you rashly withdraw the right of inspection of the officials of various states and counties, it will definitely cause local instability, and this law will do no good!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded it!"

Hey, it's not a small battle.

Lin Mo, who had been silent, counted the courtiers who came out of the ranks, and although he was prepared, he was still shocked by this movement.

The officials headed by Yang Biao can be said to be present in all factions, such as Fu Wan, Geng Ji, Chong Ji and others of the imperial party, Guo Tu, Xin family brothers, Pang Tong and others of the Lu Lin faction, and even Xun Yu, who only cared about doing things after Cao Cao left, jumped out to oppose it.

The Imperial Party, the Lu Lin Party, and the Yingchuan faction, interesting, interesting, if it weren't for the majesty of the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie would even want to laugh.

It was the first time since he ascended the throne that he had seen so many people from different factions come together to oppose or support one thing.

This is the court I want, no longer anyone's one-word hall, but can be a hundred flowers blooming, and finally he will rule in the center.

"Lin Sikong and Captain Lu, why don't you two speak?" Liu Xie looked at the two men standing on the first of the civil and military officials.

Throw the question at them, and you're going to sing this anyway.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has only known about wars over the years, and has not been involved in state affairs much."

Lu Bu was quite low-key, bowed his head and said: "But Weichen remembers one sentence, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister does not die because of disloyalty!" This matter is very difficult, as long as Your Majesty is determined to do it, then Weichen will help Your Majesty to do it! ”

"Captain's words are wrong!"

Yang Biao retorted on the spot, "This matter is related to the foundation of the society and the country, not whether the courtiers are loyal or not, and the ministers are not unprincipled and unpositional support for Your Majesty, but to support Your Majesty in a stable government and implement moral policies!" ”

Lin Mo wanted to laugh a little, the old father-in-law was really, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a moral kidnapping, according to Ling, those who did not support His Majesty were disloyal.

However, as soon as Lu Bu opened his mouth like this, many people did oppose it, but his voice was much quieter.

Not to mention Guo Tu and the Xin family brothers, they didn't dare to squeak anymore, even Pang Tong became honest, and the people from the Lu Lin faction retreated.

In fact, political games are not much different from strategies on the battlefield, and if you play them, you will die.

They just felt that this policy was too unfavorable to them, so of course they had to jump out and oppose it, after all, these people had intricate family forces behind them.

Now, if you show your attitude, don't dare to stand in line indiscriminately, that will kill people.

Lin Mo didn't rush to speak, but as soon as the voice to refute Lu Bu fell, Zhen Rong, who was worshiped as a servant and Taiqing, stood up and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that Your Majesty's move is really unprecedented and unprecedented, opening up a historical precedent and benefiting the people of the world.

Yang Sikong said that this move cost the people and money, and Weichen did not dare to agree, because it is the foundation of the society to elect talents for the country, even if there is some loss, it is worth it; Moreover, isn't the opening of the examination in the thirteen states and counties a demonstration of His Majesty's love for talent?

As for what adults said that morality should be the first thing to employ, this is good, but I don't know if you have ever heard a nursery rhyme: show talent, don't know books; Cha Xiaolian, his father does not live. Hansu is as white and turbid as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken.

Employing people with morality first, why do you think that the officials who have been prosecuted have not been covered up by the procurators for personal gain?

As for Lord Chen's remark that it may cause local instability, it is nothing more than that the state pastors and taishou of various prefectures and counties have lost the power to inspect.

So dare to ask Lord Chen, is the national policy more important, or the ideas of local state and county officials are more important? ”

At this moment, Zhenrong is very dazzling, and he has the meaning of confronting the full court with his own strength.

If you sit idly by, the next step will definitely be the refutation of the family, so it will really be endless.

Seeing this, Lin Mo made a gesture and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that what Taiqing said is really the words of the countryman, please accept it Your Majesty, and Weichen will definitely spare no effort to support it!" ”

"Weichen seconded!"

"Wechen also seconded it!"

After Lin Mo finished speaking, all the core figures of the Lu Lin faction ended, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wei Yue and others, the Ma family father and son, Liu Ye, Lu Su, Jia Xu, and Xu Shu, who was born in a cold family.

For a moment, Liu Xie even really felt that the people standing behind Lin Lu were really his own strength.

He had never felt the feeling of being supported by so many people, and he was in a trance.

When a confrontation formed above the court, the hundred officials and ministers had an obvious tendency to stand in line, and Fang Cai's camp was not at the same level at all when it faced the real core strength of Lu Lin.

Whether it is the number of people or the level of official positions, it is almost overwhelming.

After Yang Biao glanced at Lu Lin's team, he suddenly realized that the problem might not be with the Son of Heaven, so he arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to ask Your Majesty whether this matter is the arbitrary decision of Your Majesty's Sacred Heart, or is it instigated by someone from the side?" ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Lu Lin and the others, and almost didn't make it clear that if His Majesty was threatened, blink.

"Yang Aiqing is too worried."

Liu Xie waved his coat and chuckled: "I didn't discuss this matter with anyone, and the officials only learned the news. ”

Yang Biao asked this, and he didn't expect Liu Xie to really say that he was threatened by Lu Lin, after all, even if it was Cao Cao's dictatorship back then, Liu Xie would say that Cao Sikong was patriotic.

They just want to see Liu Xie's reaction, a person's eyes can't deceive people.

In the past, when Cao Cao was in Xuchang, Liu Xie's eyes were always full of fear and uneasiness, but in front of him, he was not only free and natural, but even a little proud.

Then this matter is really the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

Just imagine that this is indeed the case, if Lu Lin wants to mess up the government, it is impossible for other people to be accommodated in the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and there are still a lot of their own people who have not been arranged.

After receiving overwhelming support, Liu Xie's imperial examination policy was passed safely, but the implementation of the decree was obviously not immediate.

Tai Academy has to select people, and government decrees must also be notified to the states and counties of the country, to say the least, it will be a year before the official imperial examination can begin.

Even so, it's only a matter of time.

Therefore, as soon as he retired from the dynasty, many people began to meet and talk secretly.

"Brother, do you think this matter is what His Majesty means, or Sikong means?" In the Xin Mansion, Xin Ping asked with a long sigh.

"Zhen Rong only expressed his attitude after Taiwei Lu opened his mouth, and it is difficult to tell whether he was instructed by Lin Sikong in advance."

Xin Bi stroked his short beard and frowned, this incident also had a very big impact on the Xin family.

Originally, the two brothers in their current position have the right to select talents, and the Xin family can continue to send them to various states and counties and even Gyeonggi important land, but once the imperial examination system is implemented, the road to the rise of the Xin family will be cut off, and it is naturally impossible to say that there is no reaction.

"Don't think about it, that's what Your Majesty means."

The door closed by the two was unexpectedly pushed open, and Jia Xu came in wearing court clothes.

The brothers of the Xin family were a little confused, why no one passed it on, and when they saw that it was Jia Xu, they understood that no one dared to stop someone of this weight.

"Mrs. Jia comes often." The Xin brothers politely bowed.

Jia Xu was not verbose, and after closing the door, he sat down directly, and sighed, "This matter is only setting off a storm in Xuchang City now, once it is spread to the states and counties, I am afraid that the people below will really not be able to sit still." ”

After the two brothers glanced at each other, Xin Bi spoke first: "Our brothers are also worried that once this matter spreads, it will cause changes, so they have some speculation, but Mrs. Jia often said that this is what His Majesty meant, Lin Sikong has a good mind, how could he not guess that this matter will have endless troubles after the incident, and it will not be handled well, and it may even make the people below pass Cao, why didn't Sikong advise?" ”

"Because I can't admonish."

Jia Xu shook his head with a helpless face, "Have you noticed that since Taiwei and Sikong entered Xuchang, everything has been in accordance with the rules, and they don't even dare to participate in the ruling of the three princes and nine kings, why?" is because I am afraid that people in the world will say that they are the same as Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others.

So what they can do is what His Majesty issues an edict, and Weng and his son-in-law will do it, even if they don't want to, they don't dare to say no, after all, they are in a high position, and if they are not careful, they may be accused of controlling the government. ”

The two brothers were stunned. It seems that this is really the case.

Xin Ping sighed depressedly, "Your Majesty has just been in charge of the government, and he is eager to establish his prestige and want to show favor to the world, but he doesn't know that this is the way to take chaos. ”

"What's the way, who let Sikong and Tai Lieutenant"

Jia Xu paused halfway through speaking, looked outside in a decent manner, and then continued: "Foolish loyalty, too foolish loyalty." ”

Although Jia Xu is the first of Jiuqing, he has never been a party or flattering, so what he said still has a bit of weight.

In addition, even when Lu Lin was the master of his own house in the past, he really did not have any transgressions, and the brothers of the Xin family immediately bowed their heads and said: "This situation is troublesome, Your Majesty has no experience in governing the country, and he is naturally ambitious when he has just broken away from the tiger's mouth. Alas. ”

"It's still comfortable to follow Marquis Wen and Marquis Lanling in the past." Xin Ping changed directly from the title.

Jia Xu said earnestly: "Actually, this is nothing, I am worried that their foolishness will not only harm themselves in the end, but also harm us." ”

"What do you mean?" Simbi hurriedly asked.

Jia Xu glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "Think about it, if Yuan Shang really became the lord of the northern kingdom, would he still be able to tolerate the people who followed Yuan Tan?" ”

This question directly made the hearts of the two of them sink.

Yes, people don't hurt the tiger, but the tiger is harmful!

This is actually not difficult to think of, but because they have always tacitly felt that Lu Lin will definitely be the second Cao Cao, so they didn't think about it at all.

What happened in the court today, coupled with what Jia Xu said, the two realized what an absurd thinking mistake they had fallen into, and a sense of crisis arose.

One day, if the Son of Heaven really holds great power, then he will definitely start to take action, who is the biggest threat to him, no matter how loyal you Lin Mo and Lu Bu are, they are indeed a threat to the Son of Heaven.

"Maybe Your Majesty's move today is to deliberately roast the Taiwei and Sikong on the fire, so that this force can be suppressed and take the opportunity to take back power!"

Whatever, you can think whatever you like, Jia Xu didn't plan to waste words with them, so he stood up directly, "That's it, anyway, the old man is also old, Sikong and Taiwei themselves are not worried about their final catastrophe, what can I worry about, it's a big deal for the beggar bones to go back to Liangzhou."

The old man went home and came over for tea when he had time. ”

Regardless of the Xin brothers, they left the hall, leaving behind two people with complicated thoughts.

Jia Xu, who walked out of Xinfu, shook his head helplessly, this is the first one, and I have to go to seventeen houses, this is to make my old bones fall apart.

Different people have to say different things, this work is dirty and tiring, I don't understand, why does it have to be me, Zhenrong must be willing to do this kind of thing.
