Chapter 114: The Case of the North and South List
Cao Chao sat on the top seat and didn't say a word.
How many years have it been.
Evil officials and traitors have killed batch after batch.
The great clan is driving wave after wave.
There is no year of idleness, but in such a situation, these wicked people seem to be endless, and they keep coming out.
The scorching sun was shining, and Cao Chao sat on the top seat, raising his head, as if he wanted to look at the sun through the ceiling.
The light of the scorching sun shone on the land of Great Wei, and under the sun, there were countless twisted shadows and sins writhing their bodies, waiting for the sunset.
Even if it was Cao Chao, he felt tired again at this moment.
The last time I had such frustration was when I was in Yongzhou.
Cao Chao even suspected for a moment that all his efforts seemed to be useless, as long as he waited until he died, all the ghosts and spirits would crawl out of the shadows and shatter all his efforts.
Although Cao Chao is still quite young at the moment, his heart seems to be full of vicissitudes.
Why are these people so inexhaustible?!
"Your Majesty!"
He Zeng's voice interrupted Cao Chao's deep fantasy, and he slowly lowered his head and looked at his own Sikong.
In Cao Chao's view, He Zeng is really a rare smart person in the big family.
This guy has been helping Cao Chao diligently over the years, and he has no mercy for his past friends, and at the same time, he has also made a series of deployments to his clan.
He did something really powerful.
He himself divided his own clan.
A great man once said: Chinese men are oppressed by three mountains, political power, theocracy, and patriarchy, and women have one more husband power on this basis.
Among them, this patriarchy is the most important in the ancient family, and the relationship between the father and the son in ancient times is the relationship between the king and the minister.
The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers do not have to die, but if the father wants the son to die, the son must perish.
During the Han Dynasty, some people could survive by exposing their brothers, husbands, and even sons, but there was no son who betrayed his father to live, which was more serious than a minister's betrayal of the emperor.
If there is a local crime of disobedience by a son who abuses or beats his father, it is no different from a rebellion, first of all, the local county official will be questioned, and then the county guard will be assassinated, and none of them can escape, this kind of case will be directly taken over by the temple, and the local government will just wait to be questioned together.
And to enlarge this kind of family, it is the big family one by one.
Clans exist by blood, and the people of a clan are often their oldest and most powerful people, suppressing everyone from the blood relationship, and he or she will manage and squeeze the rest of the clan as a father, mother or elder.
It continues to divide the detailed grade gaps.
This kind of clan relationship is almost impossible to break.
And the hierarchy division within the clan of the gate valve is probably the most detailed and complete.
He Zeng, as the leader of the He clan of Chen County, can be said to have great power in the clan.
He knew the emperor's thoughts, and he also knew the emperor's plans for the future, so he chose to split his own clan, and he drove many relatives out of his homeland, letting them go to different places to settle down and split their families! Separation!!
Although this method can easily cause controversy and ruin his reputation, how can he care about this?
Anyway, his reputation has long been unpreservable.
He Zeng's behavior was relatively effective, and he didn't hide it from the emperor, of course Cao Chao knew what he did, but he didn't say anything.
He Zeng didn't know if his behavior would protect the entire clan, but he always had to try.
Cao Chao glanced at him.
The Emperor's eyes looked a little dangerous at the moment.
"Your Majesty, the minister is late, I don't know what Your Majesty commands?!"
He Zeng hurriedly behaved like a real eagle dog, showing more enthusiasm, he didn't want to be affected by other things.
Especially when the emperor is in a bad mood.
Cao Chao sneered and asked, "Have you heard about the things in Taixue?" ”
He was sweating.
Is something going on in Taixue?
He really didn't know that He had been busy doing another thing these days.
When the emperor went to Yongzhou before, he issued two edicts.
The second article is aimed at the history of assassination, and the first article is mainly aimed at all kinds of guards, and the Yushitai naturally cannot be indifferent, He has personally supervised the guards in various places, and found out a lot of traitors, who are in the stage of detention.
He Zeng hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister is real"
"I don't know, I don't know, I know that you are doing something else, so Cai Ping came to tell me that the scholars in Taixue are saying that there is large-scale fraud in the scientific examination."
He Zeng was taken aback, and he almost jumped up.

"Your Majesty!! How is this possible?! ”
Today's imperial examination has been perfected a lot, and renamed, the two Han Dynasty Maocai was enabled again, because there is no need to give Emperor Guangwu to avoid, and changed to Xiucai, through the county-level assessment can become Xiucai, this is once a year, and after becoming Xiucai, three years to a county examination, at the same time divided into different subjects, sub-examination and other branches gradually appeared.
In fact, China's imperial examination was not formed in one dynasty, and the assessment system that has existed since Qin developed step by step and finally took shape.
The Wei and Jin dynasties were an era of great change, and the Zhongzheng system combined assessments, although at this time the background was much more important than the test scores
And to say that there is large-scale fraud in today's imperial examinations, He Zeng absolutely does not admit it.
This is no longer the shoddy system that it used to be, the system has begun to gradually improve, and he believes that one or two people cheat. But to talk about large-scale fraud, it is pure fart!
"It's impossible, whether it's the question or the final review, it's all "
"Okay, I don't have to explain."
"I don't suspect that there is fraud in the imperial examination, this is clearly someone who is stirring up trouble, the purpose is to sabotage the imperial examination, oppose my benevolent government, and want to frame my favorite minister!!"
He Zeng finally knew where the emperor's anger came from at this moment.
His face suddenly turned serious.
"Your Majesty! Please rest assured, the minister will investigate this matter thoroughly, and will never let go of any traitor who dares to oppose His Majesty, and will find out all these dog thieves."
He Zeng was talking, but suddenly a close attendant walked in, "Your Majesty, I want to see you!" ”
"Huh?"
Wan Yu was Sun Hao's favorite minister in the past, and later Cao Chao promoted them in order to appease the ministers of Wu State, and Wan Yu was first sent to Yushitai by Cao Chao.
Later, he was arranged to be a free rider by his side, and he could participate in major decisions.
This can be regarded as an act of appeasement to the Wu people.
But what is this guy doing when he comes to see himself?
Cao Chao thought about it, but still said, "Let him come in too." ”
Wan Yu soon appeared in front of Cao Chao, Wan Yu was a good mix among many ministers of Wu State, because he was from a low background, Cao Chao was generous to him, and he had no clan to be relocated
And he was also very grateful to Cao Chao for his attention and promotion, and often said good things for Cao Chao in front of the rest of the Wu people, so he was even more despised by the Wu people.
Wan Yu hurriedly bowed and greeted, and his attitude was very respectful.
Cao Chao found that among the ministers of the Three Kingdoms who have been subdued so far, Minister Wu is the most respectful to himself.
When they prayed, they didn't even dare to look at themselves, and they always kept their heads down to report on their work.
At the same time, when they are asked to sit down, they will definitely adopt the most correct kneeling method, even if they sit for a long time, they will not move.
Cao Chao is also surprised by this, the Central Plains all say that Wu is barbarian, look at the etiquette of others, it is called an authentic!
All of them are respectful, and there is no rudeness at all.
He Zeng looked at this guy and was very indifferent to him, and he didn't return the courtesy.
Wan Yu opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to come to report. ”
"Say it."
"Nowadays, many scholars suspect that there is fraud in the imperial examination, and they are dissatisfied with the results, which is getting worse."
The situation reported by Wan Yu is similar to what Guo Ping said, but it is more comprehensive than Guo Ping.
Cao Chao listened to him very calmly, and then said: "I asked Sikong to come here just for this matter. ”
Wan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this matter doesn't need to be done in a hurry. ”
"Oh? If there is such a thing after the imperial examination, then it is really not necessary, but how long has it been since the imperial examination, and the people have suddenly spread this matter, so naturally it needs to be commonplace."
Wan Yu shook his head, "Your Majesty, maybe someone is adding fuel to the fire, but this is not the whole reason, if you let Sikong be heavy-handed, it will not be good." ”
"Oh?"
Cao Chao didn't ask more, He Zeng couldn't help it first, because he arranged everything to supervise the examination room.
"Why, does Wan Jun mean that there is really a case of fraud?!"
Wan Yu shook his head, "That's not the case. ”
"Your Majesty, I don't know if you have seen this year's scholars, they are basically people from Zhiyan, Yuqingxu and other places, all from the Central Plains, not to mention Yongliang, even Jizhou can't be found, let alone Shu, Wu and other places."
"This is because these places have suffered fewer wars and have a very high level of civil governance, while the rest of the places have either suffered wars or other turmoil, in other words, this is because the Central Plains scholars are of the highest quality and the best."
"However, Your Majesty must know that in the eyes of the scholars in other places, this may not be the case."
"The people who are on the list are all scholars from the Central Plains, and the scholars from all over the south and even the border areas have barely passed, what will they think in their hearts??"
"As early as when the list was released, scholars from Yang, Jing, Hunan and other states came to me and asked if there was an insider, and whether it was a scholar from Wu was not accepted."
Cao Chao immediately narrowed his eyes.
The case of the North and South List?!
