"I didn't expect Brother Li to appreciate Cao Cao. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhu Houlie smiled.

From the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, Cao Wei was orthodox, and most of the people respected Cao and degraded Liu, and after arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty, because of the nature of the Southern Song Dynasty, the entire court public opinion began to respect Liu and belittle Cao. Because there are too many similarities between the Southern Song Dynasty court and the Shu Han Dynasty, both of which were destroyed by the previous dynasty, and the imperial family of the previous dynasty continued the Taoist system, and it was Zhu Xi who first proposed to respect Liu and depreciate Cao.

"Then what if Brother Li improves the imperial examination system and makes it the mainstream system for selecting talents for the country?" Zhu Houlie asked again.

"Although Brother Zhu is not asking about the way to be a king, it seems that he is also assessing the younger brother. Li Shimin fell into deep thought, "This question really stumped the little brother." ”

Zhu Houlie looked at Li Shimin like this, giving him time to think and organize the language.

"If you want to reform the imperial examination, you need to change the content of the imperial examination. Like Yang Guang's Jinshi course, all the tests are poetry and songs, and those who take the test are also noble literati, and they can't govern a huge country. ”

"Hmm. Zhu Houlie nodded.

Even if the imperial examination was abolished in the history of the earth, within a few decades, the selection of officials and civil servants in many countries was not the same as the examination?

"The subset of economic history, the judgment of law, the theory of governing the country, the general trend of the world, and even the overall planning of arithmetic can all be included in the scope of the examination. Screening out different talents through different examinations, after all, there are not many people who are all-round, and managing all parts of the world is more of a small official who is good at a skill. The more Li Shimin spoke, the smoother he became.

"Brother Li's point of view is very good. Zhu Houlie nodded in approval of Li Shimin's assessment method.

The imperial examination is a good thing, but whether you can test talents depends on the content of your examination. Although he admired Emperor Taizu very much, he was very dissatisfied with his establishment of the imperial examination only for the eight-strand examination, and the teaching materials could only be the four books and five classics annotated by Zhu Xi. To like is to like, and to look down on someone is to look down on it, Zhu Houlie will not ignore someone's shortcomings because he admires and respects him, and constantly sings praises to him.

How many talents can be found in the eight-strand liberal arts examination? Most of them are nerds who don't understand practice and have their brains crippled. Relying on those nerds to run the place is going to be more and more problematic at the local level. The harm of the eight shares of the imperial examination is second only to the text prison of the mite Qing.

Li Shimin's statement that the imperial examination only involves literary affairs, but does not involve martial arts, is not that he deliberately omissioned, but that he thinks it is unnecessary.

The founder of Wuju is Wu Zetian, Zhu Houlie does not deny the power of Wu Zetian, the female emperor, but in terms of military affairs, Wu Zetian really doesn't understand. A qualified general is not examined, except for a few military geniuses, most generals and famous generals are tempered in the army.

If he does not experience actual combat, at best he is only a soldier on paper, and if a military general who is parachuted into an army as a commander, he may not be able to manage and command this army well. There are many famous generals in history, and Guo Ziyi is the only one who really belongs to the famous generals who came from martial arts, and even if he was born in martial arts, he has been in the army for decades.

Compared with martial arts, Zhu Houlie believed that the establishment of a martial arts academy was more beneficial, and a martial arts academy directly under the central government could cultivate talents for the country better than martial arts.

"What else?" asked Zhu Houlie again.

"This ......" was still gushing just now, but Li Shimin was stuck.

"What, doesn't Brother Li have this energy?" Zhu Houlie showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and deliberately provoked.

"Wanjing, you and I go to the private room next door. Zhu Yuyan suddenly got up and said, "I'll leave it to the two of them here." ”

"I ......" Shan Wanjing glanced at Li Shimin, who was in hesitation, and nodded.

The Yiren have left, the fragrance is still there, Zhu Houlie touched his nose, and asked again: "The people have left, don't you dare to say it?"

"If you want to improve the imperial examination system and make it a real national talent selection system, the most important thing is to allow scholars to take self-examinations and abolish the right to recommend famous scholars in the world, otherwise it will be useless no matter what you take the test!" Li Shimin was heartbroken and spit out the thoughts in his heart.

But this point is to fight with all the gate valves in the world, as a member of the gate valves, of course Li Shimin knows the horror of these gate valves. Just like the Song Emperor, the soil emperor who monopolized Lingnan, although they are still watching the situation, as long as Song is out of the mountain city, then if nothing else, the south except Bashu will fall into the hands of the Song family. At some point, it is easy to form a situation of division between the north and the south.

However, if the privileges of these gate valves are not abolished, then the whole world will be solidified, and even the best system will be broken by them, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is the best example. At that time, because of the inspection system, the local gate valves recommended each other, so that the inspection existed in name only, and the nine-product Zhongzheng system was to receive the right to evaluate and select talents to the central government, and the central government sent people to select talents.

But when these central officials who selected talents for the imperial court were controlled by the high-ranking lords, and even the criteria for selecting talents were according to their thoughts, this talent selection system became a high-grade and low-grade family.

Any system needs to be implemented by people, and once those people have problems, then all problems will come out.

"I hope Brother Li remembers what you said. Zhu Houlie said with a smile, "Yang Jian's father and son can win the world thanks to the support of the high-ranking lords, so they will not restrict those gate valves, let alone think about it." ”

At most, it is to play balance among the three major scholar clans of Guanlong, Shandong, and Jiangnan, and play one faction and one faction. At the beginning of the founding of the country, maybe the emperor would still have a lot of power, but when the time passed, the emperor began to be mediocre, then hehe.

"But if these privileges are not abolished, you should understand what the reasons are. Zhu Houlie asked again.

Although the five chaos is nominally due to the small population in the north, but in fact, before the rebellion of the eight kings, the population of the Western Jin Dynasty was more than 30 million, don't look at this small population, Qin Shi Huang only had a population of 20 million when he ruled the world. If it weren't for the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, those northerns would not have been beaten into emptiness, so that those alien races saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that Shenzhou Lu Shen.

In addition to the fact that there was an idiot emperor, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings had a lot to do with the general environment at that time. The kings of Sima all had military power, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system had been broken at that time, the entire upper class of the Western Jin Dynasty was solidified, and the Gaoshi who mastered the country's resources had no sense of crisis, so they were idle and bored to talk about Xuan and take medicine, the upper class was rotten, and the capable ordinary people of the lower class could not go up.

At that time, there was no concept of taking refuge in the alien Hu people to display their ambitions, so the children of the poor families who wanted to get ahead, whether they were talented or not, ran to the hands of various vassal kings to encourage those princes to raise troops and rebel, in order to change their own environment by following the dragon's merits.

As a result, one carelessly, plunged the entire country into a great crisis, even the danger of extinction.

"Brother Zhu, I understand what you said. Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "But I'm not the prince of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Don't tell me you don't have the heart of an emperor. Zhu Houlie said bluntly, "You are not a saint who has no desires and no desires!"
