Chapter 311 Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger
"Becoming too conservative for people is like a stagnant water."
According to ancient times, "exclusive respect for Confucianism" was beneficial to the emperor and more able to control power. ”
"It's important to change your thinking, and talent is indispensable at the beginning."
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did a big thing when he first ascended to the position, and that was the exam."
"Many people have signed up to participate, during this period, many people are ordinary people, Liu Che attaches great importance to this issue, and must personally check it, and cannot miss any link, it is precisely because of this that it is also his most brilliant time, because if you want to become a democracy, it can be seen from this point."
"At that time, his standards were very low, as long as you were talented, no matter what your family was, what kind of background you came from, you could come here."
"As long as you can contribute to the country, you can become a person valued by the emperor, many people climb up little by little, and it is precisely because of this way that the prime minister and the imperial history are some people whose families are not very good, and it is through their own talents and differences from others."
"Here I'm going to talk about Wei Qing and Huo Qu's illness."
"Wei Qing used to be a horse breeder, a very, very low-level person, it was precisely because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found out that he was a very capable person, so he made him a general and let him lead the troops to fight."
"Huo Qu's illness is the same, he was favored by the emperor at a very young age, and he was considered to be fighting with the army, he was not yet 20 years old at the time, some people would say why would he let such a young child lead the army to fight?"
"Young, have their own ideas, have the spirit of hard work, some things are not determined by age, relatively speaking, experience is more important, so there is no reason to say many things."
"So although they are very young, they are not frivolous and have very important experience."
"There is also Dong Zhongshu, he was originally an ordinary scholar, he liked Confucianism very much since he was a child, and it is precisely because of this that he later had a very great understanding of Confucianism, and the ideas he put forward also influenced many of us, and it is precisely because of this that many people remember him."
"In politics, there are Gongsun Hong, Zhang Tang, Han Anguo, Sang Hongyang, Huo Guang, Jin Riyan, etc."
"In the military, there are Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Zhang Qian and others."
"In literature, there are Sima Xiangru, Sima Qian and others, and in thought, there are people like Dong Zhongshu."
"The Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, was also a dynasty full of talents."
"What were the previous imperial examinations like? It can be said that the "children of the poor family" developed in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but in the later dynasties, there were still many sons who inherited their father's business. ”
Presumably everyone remembers that when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang peasants revolted at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng said a deafening sentence: "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning? ””
"In fact, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the early Han Dynasty, class solidification was very serious, and it was almost impossible for poor and insightful people to get ahead, and the court officials were all meritorious heroes and relatives of the emperor."
"For many years, a kind of "appointment system" has been popular. ”
"The father's official position is inherited by the son, such as Yang Jian."
"Many of the descendants of the eunuchs are mostly uneducated, arrogant and lascivious, and they can easily get official positions without hard work, so it is conceivable that the officials elected in this way can do anything."
"If ordinary people want to break through the circle, there is no way to develop upward."
"In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu was still far from the Sui Dynasty, where the imperial examination system was born!"
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, boldly broke this limitation and laid the foundation for the development of the imperial examination system in the future."
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was deeply troubled by the forces of his relatives and hated them."
"He needed talent, pioneered the meritocracy method, and promoted a lot of talented people from humble backgrounds."
"Even in his later years, he promoted Jin Riyan, a captive of the Xiongnu, to be the minister of his life."
"In order to get more talents, Liu Che also founded the probation system."
"Let the local governor inspect and recommend talents to his superiors at any time in his jurisdiction, and appoint officials after passing the relevant assessments."
"Because of this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got talents such as Dong Zhongshu, Dongfang Shuo, and Gongsun Hong."
In 135 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also ordered that each county should elect a person who respects his elders and an honest and upright minor official to the imperial court every year, which is what we often hear about "filial piety". ”
"Since then, the inspection has become customized."
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, "filial piety" became a nickname for people. ”
"Although there are still many subjective factors in the probation system, it has also caused the later gate valve politics."
"However, in that era, this move was already a shocking initiative, and poor students began to have room and hope for growth."
Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once set the old precedent of "those who are not surnamed Liu, and those who are not meritorious are not allowed to be crowned marquis", and the early Han Dynasty has always followed the practice that non-liehou is not allowed to worship the prime minister. ”
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che boldly worshiped Gongsun Hong as the prime minister, and then named him the Marquis of Pingjin, creating a precedent for worshipping the prime minister first and then sealing the marquis."
"Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the founding heroes have taken turns to serve as prime ministers, and the power of the prime minister has greatly restricted the imperial power."
"With the death of the founding heroes one after another, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the opportunity to enhance the status of the imperial historian and let the imperial historian Zhang Tang replace the role of the prime minister, which greatly reduced the role of the prime minister in the power of the prime minister."
"However, on the one hand, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty boldly promoted talents and rewarded them, on the other hand, he was very strict with his officials."
"Contrary to the light punishment of my grandfather Emperor Wen of Han and my father Emperor Jing of Han, and the punishment of waste meat, Emperor Wu of Han began to reuse cool officials and legislate harshly."
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that when a talented person was an official, if he did not fulfill his duties, he was no different from having no talent."
"Therefore, incompetent and bullying officials will be punished very severely by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and they will be killed at every turn."
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed thirteen prime ministers before and after."
"Except for four of them, who died of illness, the remaining nine were either removed from office for their sins, or committed suicide or put to death for their sins."
"There are countless other officials who have been put to death by him."
"Liu Che, the male lord, is very strong, and being an official by his side is really a companion like a tiger."
"The effect is indeed good, you look at Wei Qinghuo's illness, as well as Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu, these are all powerful generals."
"Like me in modern times, people who are bosses spend money to hire you, not to pay wages to support idlers, if you can't do what you want, and if you are not satisfied, you will definitely be fired, and the same is true when you are an official of the imperial court."
"There are still a few talents to say, let's talk about the two in literature."
