Chapter 839 Rational Face

Ying Jieyan's proposal to break the ancestral system and resume the survey has already surprised everyone. You should know that scholars have become officials after passing the imperial examination in the past and can directly enter the officialdom. This is the charm of the imperial examination. But now they need to be re-study. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there are many types of restrictions on the Ministry of Personnel's assessment, which has made many poor children unable to pass the Ministry of Personnel's assessment, and thus unable to become officials all year round, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among those listed.

But from a realistic perspective, the Jinshi who have been further studied and trained in Qiongzhou after Imperial College can get started quickly, whether in handling official documents or handling government affairs. This is obvious to all. Now these people are either aides or adjutants, and have become the main force of county-level officials in Jiangnan, and after a few years of training, they can stand alone.

In the past, the disadvantages of directly being appointed to an official are also obvious. A scholar who relied on studying hard on books of sages and wrote empty strategies and opinions into the officialdom. He could say that he had no experience in the officialdom. He was afraid that he would not even understand the official documents, let alone collecting taxes and guarding the country. What can he do as a local official? Everything needs to be managed by his staff and officials. After a period of time, he could figure it out, and the nerd could only be fooled.

Everyone also knows that there are extremely smart people in the world, but not all of them have the talent to govern the world. The little emperor is already smart, but he has also created such a situation after many years of study and the assistance of the ministers. It is ridiculous to think about it and it is also very risky to make a Jinshi who had no experience in governing before.

Lu Xiufu and others were also very clear-headed, and they all knew that Ying Jieyan's proposal had both pros and cons, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. The young emperor agreed very much, so they did not object. However, his next proposal surprised everyone even more.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think it is the right way to open a vocational college and recruit a vocational college. I should be cautious and restricted, or even prohibited!" Ying Jieyan said again.

"You should know that this discussion is of great importance. You need to make a long-term plan. Don't be reckless!" Liu Fu immediately stepped forward after hearing this. He knew very well that the appointment of officials in the world was a matter involving all officials in the world. Doing so would be an enemy of officials in the world. At the same time, the appointment of officials to the children of officials is also one of the important means for the emperor to win over officials. If you propose a ban, your Majesty will inevitably become suspicious and suspect that he has ulterior motives.

"Governor Liu, my proposal is not for a moment of intent, but for a long time." Ying Jieyan waved his hand, "There are many unworthy people among the officials, who are not talented or knowledgeable, and have no moral character. They are arrogant and domineering, thinking that they are playboys, but they only steal their official positions because of their shade. What can they do? It is the best thing to do, but they want to eat the king's fortune and spend the country."

"You should not just say anything. There are indeed talents among the children of officials, and they are not all playboys!" Liu Fu said again.

"Governor Liu, the emperor's priest surrendered to his ministers, and the emperor's mercy is still a mighty emperor's mercy. However, he is greedy not only seeks officials for his children, but even includes servants in the family, and is criticized by the world. However, there are those who hold high positions who take advantage of their own personal gain, so that those who are talented cannot be granted, and those who are mediocre and incompetent steal important positions!" Ying Jie sternly refuted.

"Your Majesty, I think Governor Liu is saying so much!" Wen Tianxiang also stepped forward and said, "The excessive amount of embassy and awarding officials will not only increase the national consumption, but will also inevitably lead to the quota for the scientific examination, which will greatly reduce the role of talent selection for the imperial examination for the national examination and the national talent selection and talent accumulation."

"Your Majesty, I think you should be cautious when you are empressed and appointed as an official, and you should not act too quickly. You should also make long-term plans to avoid people's hearts from turbulent!" Lu Xiufu reported at this moment.

"Well, this matter needs to be cautious, not as simple as an imperial edict. It is inevitable that it will be too radical to abolish all the matter, but there should be no risk of being redundant in the future. We must also consider it carefully!" Zhao Bing said.

He knew very well that this issue was not appropriate at the moment, because the court had decided to temporarily suppress such sensitive and extensive issues, although it was very realistic and urgent. Because he knew that many of people's views were emotional or driven by their own interests. When a policy violated his own interests, he immediately became an opponent, and when a policy brought benefits to him, he immediately became an apologist. He had no basic position at all, and only determined his position based on the amount of interests.

Therefore, it is not better than other problems, but it is easy to cause disputes in the morning. At this moment, they regained Jiangnan, which is the window period for rewarding merits. You should know that many people follow them. Zhao Bing knew very well that it was not all attracted by his "charm" and that he had some selfish intentions. To be promoted and titled, to be granted a wife and son is the goal that many people pursue. Sharp this item at the moment will inevitably cause shock, disappoint many people, and also make their prestige drop sharply.

Zhao Bing had been played with and hit like this in his previous life. His promise was not fulfilled, and all his hard work and efforts were all in smoke. During that period, he was disappointed, confused, angry, and wished to press him into the sea to drown him. He also understood that he would not trust him again, even if he promised to give him a higher position and salary. What was even more terrifying was that he developed a rebellious mentality. What he said was a lie, and everything he did was wrong, and he had to firmly oppose and resist.

At present, Ying Jieyan raised this issue. Zhao Bing thought that the old man was not unaware of the current situation and knew his intention to eliminate the disadvantages of the previous dynasty. The redundant officials were the most difficult to eradicate. The old man was unwilling to go, and newcomers kept pouring in. If the old man wanted to leave, he should give him a response preferential treatment. The following is an important condition. But if he proposed it privately at this time, it would be an instigation and instigation, and it would be a disguised "betray" himself. He simply proposed it publicly to be the evil man, lead the finger at himself, and relieve the pressure of innovation for him.

Thinking about Ying Jieyan's decision to assist him in the extremely difficult situation, and he has made great contributions to this day. He is the leader in rewarding merits and rewards. Zhao Bing believes that no one in the court will be dissatisfied with civil and military officials, and of course he is the biggest beneficiary of the policy of shading. His proposal is equivalent to giving up everything he deserves and showing his noble character. But if he agrees to his request at the moment, it is equivalent to sending his master to the forefront. Therefore, he cannot make a decision immediately for public or private, but he has temporarily put the pressure on it, but has successfully laid the groundwork for the reform of this system...

Next, Zhao Bing suggested that the current time when the courses were held, the Jinshi class should not be held separately, but rather that the miscellaneous courses such as Mingfa, Mingju, Medical, and Sitian should be added, so that the number of admissions can be increased, and the materials can be fully selected to make up for the lack of talents. At the same time, the martial arts examinations were held, the selection of talents was selected, and the standards were lowered, and those projects such as playing big swords and playing stone locks were cancelled, but instead they were changed to physical fitness tests. As long as they could complete the specified projects and pass the policy, they could enter martial arts and be awarded official positions after completing the course.

After a long discussion, Zhao Bing was now an idle man and could not directly issue an order. He could only reorganize the orders by several prime ministers and report to the empress dowager in the name of a joint sign. He could only issue an edict after he was appointed. After finishing this, he ordered to move to the pavilion by the lake and redecorate the tea and snacks. But this time it was much easier, and everyone sat around the table.

"Now we agree to the peace talks with the Mongolian Yuan, I am afraid that there will be opposition in the government and the public. I see that the tabloids in the city are already sarcasticating my cowardice!" Zhao Bing said with a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty's heart is not something that those ordinary people can know. Just follow the crowd!" Liu Fu said with a smile.

"Governor Liu, this matter is not that simple. After announcing the peace talks, not only were officials in the court writing letters against them, but officials from various prefectures and counties also wrote letters. Although the army was still calm, I was afraid that he was afraid to speak out because of Your Majesty's prestige. If you are not careful in the peace talks, it will cause a commotion!" Lu Xiufu said worriedly.

"I also heard the complaints from my subordinates. They were puzzled by the fact that they stopped in Jiangnan under such a great situation, and even expressed dissatisfaction with the empress dowager's rule!" Wen Tianxiang also said.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate these rumors. What I am most worried about is that the army is dissatisfied with the peace talks. They will think that the Empress Dowager has stopped the Northern Expedition, but will not blame Your Majesty. Then there will be generals who think that only Your Majesty will return to the court will avoid peace. Therefore, Your Majesty must try to appease the generals to avoid unexpected events!" Ying Jieyan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty has lived in Yanxiang Garden for a long time, and it is inevitable that people will have ambiguity. Once the morale of the army is unstable, it will easily lead to chaos!" Lu Xiufu thought about it, and said with concern.

"There is no need to worry about this matter. I have already discussed this matter by Secretary Jiang. The Ministry of War will explain the peace affairs to the various military forces. I believe that the generals understand the righteousness and can understand the decisions of the court. What I am worried about is that as the number of scholars participating in the autumn examination increases, they will not understand the matter and misinterpret the peace affairs with just a patriotic enthusiasm, which will cause a commotion!" Zhao Bing sighed lightly.

In addition to the Ministry of War, the army issued a document to inform the army, pointing out the significance of peace talks, and at the same time, it was not allowed to relax its vigilance because of peace talks, and always be prepared to counterattack and attack. At the same time, he also kept in touch with the generals of the commanding army, informing them not to be deceived by the illusion of peace talks. There must be a war between the two countries of the Song and Yuan dynasties, reminding them to strictly restrain the troops and not to participate in the decision-making of the court.

But this year is the year of the imperial examination. Those scholars scattered everywhere gathered together. The scholars of the Song Dynasty had a tradition of discussing state affairs, and their thoughts were often very extreme. Perhaps the discussion of a few people would trigger group events. It would be very difficult to deal with it at that time. We could not send troops to suppress the enthusiasm of patriotic young people, right? As a result, either the peace talks ended without failure, or the instigation of the crowd had to fight a war in advance without sufficient preparation.

"Your Majesty must be careful about what you are thinking. You should guide the scholars coming from all over the world to appease their emotions and avoid collective letters." Liu Fu nodded and said. He was once a student's "leader" and led the Tai students to carry out the anti-Jia movement. He still had a deep understanding of the scholars' psychology. Once the passionate blood is often followed, he will never give up until he achieves his goal.

"Yes, it's better to be relieved than to block. We must not only maintain the patriotic enthusiasm of the scholars, but also understand that patriotism must be rational, which cannot be achieved by temporary passion. Do not stop it with forced orders, and do not threaten with punishment!!" Zhao Bing said authentically.

"Your Majesty, I am very puzzled by peace talks. Even if our dynasty is on the defensive moment, there is no need to discuss peace talks with them to find time to breathe!" Liu Fu asked back after hearing this.

"You all know that regaining lost land cannot be successful in a moment. We have been operating in Qiongzhou for ten years and seized the opportunity before we can return to Jiangnan." Zhao Bing said, "Is this the best time now? Everyone knows that it is definitely not. First of all, our army has just experienced a great war and needs to be expanded and trained; and then there is ten years of Jiangnan falling, we must calm people's hearts; in addition, the ten years of savings in Qiongzhou have almost been exhausted, and it is entirely due to the capture and persistence until this summer tax is put into treasury."

"In addition, the True Vajra has just inherited the Khan throne, and he obviously needs time to stabilize the stalemate. However, if we choose to start a war at this time, although we can win the initial victory while taking advantage of the decline, it will just make the various factions of the Mongol Yuan feel threatened and let them unite together to fight the enemy, which will inevitably increase their prestige. However, if we are not prepared enough, we can only win first and then lose. However, if a peace talk is held, even if the real gold has time to integrate various forces, it will exchange interests, or threaten by force, and it will still be a superficial surrender, and there are still each other's worries, and it is difficult to truly integrate them."

"What Your Majesty said is that the threat of destroying the country will allow the forces of the Mongolian Yuan sects and the sects to relieve their past grudges and win the support of various tribes. However, their peace talks were made by his majesty because of the small loss of the big, and instead used it for His Majesty!" Wen Tianxiang nodded and said that he was even more moved. Obviously, His Majesty saw a little further and calculated more carefully, but when the Zhenjin and the little emperor had lost their fortunes in the first battle, they were at a disadvantage.

"Well, Your Majesty is worried about being a minister." Ying Jieyan said with great relief, "The recovery of the Central Plains is not only about blood, but also about rational wisdom. This is not enough. The rise of a country also requires patience to sleep on firewood and taste gall. You must wait for the best time like a tiger and leopard. Now that they want to talk, we will talk with him. If you want to delay time, delay time until the time is ripe!"

"Mr. I'm right. If they want to talk, we'll talk. The negotiations are nothing more than changing the meeting of swords and guns on the battlefield to verbal swords and swords on the table, but it's also a bloody battle of interests." Zhao Bing poured tea for everyone, "At present, should we continue to hide our strength and live a difficult period in the future, or should we seize the opportunity of the Mongol Khan's throne just changed to send troops to fight for Jiangbei? I think there is always a light and heavy problem here, and it's really easy for many people to feel confused. I think I'm grabbing my eyebrows and beards, but I can't tell the difference between sesame seeds, and most watermelons can't tell anyone."
