Chapter 76: Nine Grades of Zhongzheng
Putting down all the things of Haoqiang, Kong Ming noticed the second appearance of this term:
"Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms...... I think it should be the troubled era between Tang and Song Li? ”
Pang Tong confirmed: "It was previously said that Boling Cui was hit hard in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the prosperity of the late Tang Dynasty, which should refer to the troubled times of the change of dynasties. ”
"The meaning of the Ten Kingdoms is easy to understand, these five dynasties should be said to be like the Jin Dynasty and Wei, and the five dynasties are replaced."
Kong Ming imagined it for a moment:
"That Jiaozhou will also claim to be the envoy of the Giant Tang Dynasty to crusade against the Song Dynasty, so it seems that you might as well guess so."
"After the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties in the Central Plains were replaced continuously, and such as Liaodong, Lingnan, Jiaozhou, and even Shuzhong roads that were difficult to pass, the Tang Dynasty made the army stand on its own."
Pang Tong nodded, he didn't know much at the moment, so he could only guess according to this:
"The light curtain said that Ma Chao and Lu Bu 'adapted version'...... Five dynasties and ten kingdoms are still martial? ”
"Dozens of fierce generals like Lu Bu are killing and killing, and the military chaos is here?"
"Good guys!" Zhang Fei sighed:
"How many fathers do you have to die?"
……
"Heroic military merit?" Li Shimin savored the word.
All kinds of ideas turned around in his mind, and Li Shimin asked directly:
"Could it be that Tang Fei destroyed the country by force?"
"No, it's not." Li Shimin shook his head directly, he still remembered the deeds of the Guiyi Army clearly, and he couldn't even recover Hexi in the late Tang Dynasty.
The righteous man Zhang Yichao begged for the Hexi Festival to make it unsuccessful, and the whole Guiyi Army Festival envoy let the descendants of Tang Buxiao guard against it that night, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like destroying the country with strength, but it is a very conventional way to destroy the country with weakness.
"Or is it that the country of the troubled times all inherited the Tang system?" The eldest grandson Wuji carefully speculated:
"Just like the Han Dynasty and the Qin system, my Tang Dynasty also refers to the former Sui Dynasty, and the people who founded the country in the troubled times naturally respect everyone."
This statement is reasonable, Li Shimin couldn't help nodding, his martial arts have been praised by future generations, and it is not too normal to be admired by the rebel army after two hundred years!
However, thinking of a group of rebellious troops under their own banners, Li Shimin's expression was a little subtle, and he didn't know whether to be happy or not.
[The Eastern Han Dynasty was developed in the Haoqiang-Celebrity-Officialdom version of the gameplay, which has a very key part of the inspection system, which also gave birth to such a thing.
The filial piety we are now familiar with is only one of the probationary systems.
The Western Han Dynasty has filial piety, Xiucai, Chalian, Guanglu four elements, virtuous and square, etc.
The Eastern Han Dynasty conformed to the style of learning and added the Ming Jing and Ming Law.
Xiucai, who later wanted to avoid Liu Xiu, was changed to Maocai, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to Suiju.
The probationary system is very problematic, because it is a bottom-up system for recommending talents, which is essentially a kind of concession by the central government.
After understanding this set of gameplay, the heroes took advantage of the style of study in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they came into being such a thing.
The essence of celebrities and scholars is to compete with the imperial court for the right to guide public opinion, and when you master this, you will be able to influence the inspection, so as to influence and control the right to recommend and select personnel.
It is also because of the special things of celebrities and scholars that the literati of the Eastern Han Dynasty have the habit of "raising names".
To put it bluntly, a group of people flaunt each other, I say that you are a good ruler, and you call me Wang Zuozhicai, and then go out to promote each other, everyone is famous for each other, and after being inspected and promoted, privileges and land will follow.
And there were many such small groups in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
For example, Xu Shao, who appeared in the romance and was well-known to everyone, is a celebrity, and there is a monthly review, saying that this is a hero, and praising that is a good talent.
is as famous as Xu Shao, and the celebrity Guo Tai, who is very brainy, and has a special label called "Yingyan" for his promotion.
In addition to this kind of solo fighting, there are also group battles, such as Dou Wu, Liu Shu, and Chen Fan, three celebrities, collectively known as the "Three Monarchs", each of whom is "the sect of the first generation".
All of the above are considered relatively high-ranked, and the rest of the people who want to have the right to speak simply pull in more people and label themselves with special labels.
For example, Ba Jun, or Ba Jun, is called eight talented people, among which the more famous is Liu Biao, who rode into Jingzhou alone.
For example, Bagu, saying that these eight people can guide the world in virtue; For example, Baji, it is said that these eight people have virtue and can be used as teachers.
For example, the eight chefs said that these eight people are all righteous and squandering money.
In short, there are many people who play Fado, and we have to call our ancestors when we present awards in the film and television industry.
Later, Cao Pi lamented that these celebrities "are in private places, and their names are determined to be in the alleys." ”
The imperial court not only lost the administrative power at the grassroots level, but even lost the right to speak in public opinion, which led to the loss of the right to appoint and dismiss personnel, so the Eastern Han Dynasty can only say that the death is not unjust at all.
But even if Haoqiang relies on celebrities to monopolize the right to speak, it is still possible to let the fertilizer flow into the fields of outsiders.
Because the probation system is, in the final analysis, more inclined to the poor and the head of the Qian, to take the simplest example, Haoqiang is all thousands of servants, and he can use his children's filial piety?
Therefore, the final weapon of the powerful family was brought out by the joint force, that is, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.
This system is not used to replace the probation, it is a talent evaluation system, according to the family background, it can be regarded as an auxiliary to the probation system.
In essence, it is to regain the rights that Baume & Mercier snatched in the past back to the central government, which is a centralized means of power, and it is also one of the reasons why Cao Pi made a decision.
And the families also feel that this system is very good, there is no middleman to make the difference, and in the step of setting the hometown product, you can easily set those people outside the family into the next three products, and completely eliminate the opportunity for them to turn over.
This is also the reason why we have seen those filial piety stories in the Book of Jin before are extremely outrageous, and the poor scholars who have been completely eliminated from their careers are close to madness, and they can only make up this more and more outrageous story, hoping to knock on the heavy door of the nine products.
The eventual decay of the probationary system only vividly illustrates that the class that occupies an advantageous position in the operation of society will ensure by various means that its monopoly position can be hereditary.
In order to ensure this kind of monopoly, they will not hesitate to destroy and erode the original selection system, even if it will cause stagnation or regression of social progress.
It is also for this reason that the decaying probation system withdrew from the stage of history, and the examination method born in the probation system gradually radiated its brilliance and influenced China for thousands of years. 】
"The hearts of these scholars are so dark!"
Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed, unaware of the subtle eyes cast in the hall.
"If I were here, wouldn't I have to kill pigs for generations?"
"I don't think so." Pang Tong didn't have a good airway:
"With such a temper as Yide, he will definitely be arrested and reduced to a wealthy slave within two days of selling meat."
Zhang Fei was not angry, and said with a smile:
"In this case, after the Central Plains are leveled, I will dig a good grave for them."
"When I went to Taishan Mansion, Jun Mo said that Grandpa Zhang treated them badly."
Pang Tong gave Zhang Fei a thumbs up, and then sighed:
"It was quite absurd to read the record of filial piety in the Jin Dynasty before, but now that I know its situation, I have a lot of sadness in retrospect."
"Who's to say it's not?" Kong Ming sighed leisurely:
"There is a learning in the chest, and there is a good policy for determining the country and the country, but if the birth is set as the lower three grades, there is no place for half of it."
"And the disciple of that family, even if he is full of food and has nothing to do all day long, he can still be ranked as a minister."
Zhang Song also interjected: "I envy that Gongsun Hong has only taken ten years from the white body to the prime minister, such a thing, the Jin Dynasty scholars are afraid that their hearts will bleed." ”
Everyone nodded silently in agreement.
This sums it up...... Provoking. Kong Ming carefully read the last sigh of the light curtain, and only felt that what he was talking about was not just a system of inspection.
In the Chaotang Township, the Central Plains Frontier, as long as the rank is respectful, where is it not so? I'm afraid that the same is true of the Great Qin Kingdom in the distance.
Even so, can the exam method be used in all aspects? Liberal arts? Martial arts? Agricultural Science Examination?
For a while, Kong Ming came up with various methods of imperial examinations in his head, and finally turned into an exclamation:
"This exam is the real meritocracy."
And after having this idea, Kong Ming almost couldn't wait to try it himself.
Liu Bei looked at Kong Ming's expression, and said with a smile without Kong Ming giving up his hand:
"If the military advisor has an idea, just let it go! Wolong's talent, who is not convinced? ”
For a while, the hall laughed, yes, it has been passed down through the ages, who is not convinced?
But Zhang Fei remembered another thing:
"Military Division, is the name of the phoenix chick between you and Pang Junshi also the so-called raising name?"
Kong Ming and Pang Tong glanced at each other, the two shook their heads and smiled, or Pang Tong explained:
"If you raise a name, then it should be me praising Kong Ming as Wolong, and Kong Ming praising me as a phoenix."
"Just like the eight Gu Eight Chefs and Eight Chefs who flaunt each other, take this name, who knows such a celebrity?"
"And Kong Ming's talent...... What does the Wolong have to do with him? ”
Pang Tong commented lightly: "Worthy of the name, what is a name? ”
Kong Ming patted Pang Tong's shoulder and laughed:
"If I say that the phoenix chicks are also worthy of the name at this time, it seems to flaunt each other, and there is a suspicion of raising a name, so I still don't say it."
Pang Tong was immediately angry:
"Zhuge Villager!"
After some fighting, the two of them stared at the last two sentences.
"Since this light curtain says so, it means that the society as a whole of the Jin Dynasty is stagnant or regressive?" Pang Tong was puzzled:
"What are the specific criteria for judging this advance or retreat?"
"If we live in the era...... Kong Ming looked up and thought for a long time, and his mind flashed with the round water wheel and the long list of hydraulic tools brought out by the water power workshop.
and the grain production of later generations inferred from the heavenly creations, as well as the continuous improvement of sugar and iron smelting.
I even remembered the development of the productive forces when talking about money before, so I guessed:
"Productivity is the most important thing?"
Pang Tong remembered the rise and fall of the inspection system, and after arriving in the Jin Dynasty, the crazy fabrication of filial piety by the scholars of the Han family.
Reading Coke, thinking about it is sad, so I also sighed and said:
"There should also be a system of clean and honest inspection."
Then the two looked at each other and sighed together:
"There is still a long way to go!"
Fist the old irons.
