Chapter 1055: The imperial examination system is restored, and officials cannot be punished(1/2)

Wang Zisheng, what can I say about this man? He has everything a young man should have at this stage.

To put it simply, his ideals have not been smoothed by the edges of reality.

Therefore, when he encounters something that he thinks is unreasonable, he is willing to give something, even if his words are directed at his own family and those closest to him.

Wang Zisheng also believed from the bottom of his heart that the existence of a deformed military group like the Four Towns General Mansion was unreasonable.

It was precisely because it was unreasonable that Wang Yu wanted to abolish it.

To be precise, what Wang Yu wants to abolish is not the Zhendong Army, but this deformed military group system. He wants to start with the Zhendong Army and tell his generals to stop this idea as soon as possible. Before he

In the hands of the country, the army can only belong to the country, not the private property of a certain person or family.

In his opinion, a normal army like the Dawu Dynasty should look like.

Although the Duke of Xiliang and the Duke of Beiliang are also powerful military figures and hold a lot of military power in their hands, their fiefdoms and bases are not there. They were only sent to station at the border. Today, the Dawu Dynasty can send them there

If you are stationed at the border, you can change someone to go there after a while.

As the powerful faction in the military, although they also control military power, those armies are not their own, but belong to the Dawu Dynasty.

But in Da Cang's Four Towns General Mansion, the army has become the private property of one person or a family.

However, due to the deep-rooted influence of hundreds of years, the generals of Da Cang have become figures like the Four Town Generals as their targets.

This unreasonable system must be abolished as soon as possible and unswervingly.

Of course, in addition to the ideals that a young person should have!

What prompted him to do this was also the influence of a woman.

It has to be said that the people of Cihang Jingzhai are still extremely sharp in this regard.

Even if they don’t come with you for real, at most it’s just a spiritual love, and sometimes there’s even no spiritual love at all, but it can make so many people follow you like moths to a flame.

There are only a few cases since ancient times that people like Pang Ban can be eaten clean.

Moreover, her great righteousness was admired by her, who also possessed a high level of proficiency.

Under the influence of a woman from Cihang Jingzhai, Wang Zisheng became increasingly aware of the harm that private military groups like this could do to the country, which is why he made today's righteous speech.

For a time, even though Wang Zisheng was Wang Dangzhi's son, he was still scolded by the interest groups above the court.

This is Yanbei, where this interest group is concentrated.

Wang Yu, who was indifferent to all this happening, finally stopped the people who were making a fuss when things were about to develop. He found a reason and asked people to take Wang Zisheng away first. This method was considered to be temporary.

I suppressed this matter.

The interest groups present all arrogantly mocked Wang Zisheng who was being escorted away.

Isn't the biggest leader among the interest groups of this military group the Wang family? In other words, Wang Yu is the leader of this interest group. This junior Wang Zisheng used to think of him well, but now

Come on, you are still a little younger after all, I don’t know what to say!

There were only a few people like Zhao Anling, but they were not as relaxed as most of the people present, and they were also worried.

Of course, the Wang family has the biggest interests. If he were a minister, Wang Yu would definitely stand firmly together to protect this military interest group.

However, the problem is that Wang Yu's position is no longer that of a minister, but that he is developing towards the line of a king! There are still very few people who can see this clearly!

Wang Dangzhi, who originally wanted to die and had already begun to prepare for his funeral, felt gray all night after hearing about this incident, and all his energy was gone.

Today's Wang Dangzhi may no longer be the famous Zhendong general. At most, he can only be regarded as a walking corpse.

This is someone who wants to use his son to force him into the game.

And who is this so-called person?

Wang Dangzhi could only smile helplessly.

If he does not join the game, his son's immature shoulders will not be able to block the wind and rain ahead if he continues to seek death.

Since then, the Zhendong Army designation, which has existed for hundreds of years, has finally begun to get closer to its cancellation.

Interest groups from all sides competed for a small year. From then on, there was no Zhendong Army in this world.

Of course, the occurrence of all these results is still an afterthought.

At least for now, this is all still in its infancy.

In the court hall, after letting people temporarily suppress Wang Zisheng, Wang Yu had already asked people to start the next topic.

Whether it is the elimination of the military interest group Zhendong Mansion or the reforms he planned, this cannot be completed in one day.

And in this advancement process, they still have countless things to do.

"Since the Three Kings raised their armies, the imperial examination has been abolished for many years!"

"In the past few years, there may have been new officials who have been promoted by officials from various places!"

"However, the inspection and examination system has many drawbacks!"

"From my general point of view, the restoration of the imperial examination must be put on the agenda!"

In the past few years, not only Da Cang, but also four of the seven dynasties have temporarily suspended the imperial examination.

Only the three dynasties of Dawu, Dawei and Dachu have been holding imperial examinations normally in recent years.

After all, the remaining dynasties have been in constant war in recent years, and they do not have the conditions to hold the imperial examination.

You know, considering the vast area of ​​the country, within half a year from the beginning of the imperial examination, small troop carriers will be specially organized in various places to transport scholars from all over the country to the imperial capital to participate in the imperial examination.

After all, with such a vast land and such a long journey and distance, if there are no troop carriers, we will only rely on carriages and horses to travel. Those who are farther away may not reach the imperial capital for several years.

Specially organized small troop carriers were specially organized to transport scholars from various places. This was also due to the existing factors in Da Cang.

Moreover, it is difficult for those scholars who are ordinary people to afford the transportation expenses along the way. And if you take a troop carrier, then the food, drink, and toilette along the way will be provided by the court for free.

Although the daily necessities along the way are only the most basic supplies, for those scholars who are ordinary people, they are already hard to come by.

In the past few years, there have been wars in various places, and all personnel carriers have been fully used to ensure military use. This alone has temporarily stopped the imperial examination.

In the past few years, various forces in Da Cang, including Wang Yu, have had the idea of ​​​​resuming the imperial examination, and some have even begun to put it on the agenda. However, when it comes to that juncture, it is still due to various reasons.

It has been temporarily put on hold for this reason.

To put it most intuitively, we were originally thinking about resuming the imperial examinations, but suddenly war started again. Do we have to postpone it again?

And there has been no imperial examination for so many years. If there is a shortage of officials, how will it be solved in the past few years?

Of course, it depends on recommendations from local officials or famous people.

But this system itself was recommended only by people from aristocratic families.

Moreover, it is not unacceptable if all those who are promoted are talented people. The key is that compared with the imperial examination, the quality of officials is selected by relying solely on the examination, which is really uneven.

To put it more seriously, if we do not resume the imperial examination as soon as possible and continue to use this retro examination system, even if we are an idiot, as long as the family has the power, we can become a high official.

The existence of such a thing as a family can never be denied, and it has a positive role in promoting society.

But everything is too much, and once it exceeds a certain level, it will cause certain obstacles to the development of society. For example, the aristocracy will always be aristocrats, land annexation will become more and more serious, the poor will become poorer, the rich will become richer, and the aristocratic family will pass through

Gain revenue from annexing land and control the entire region.

Therefore, for Wang Yu, now that the north has stabilized slightly, it is now imperative to resume the imperial examination, even if it is only in the northern region.

"good!"

"Establishing the imperial examination again is a matter of national importance and should be implemented as soon as possible!" Many officials nodded in agreement.

At least no one present objected to the reinstatement of the imperial examination.

Although many of them have benefited more or less from relying on the inspection and selection of officials in recent years, most of them also know very well that there is no point in blocking this matter. The key is to block it.

Can’t live!

Moreover, although the imperial examination will indeed have a certain impact on them, it is only an impact.

Some people say that "Aristocratic families hinder the advancement of common people." This view is very one-sided. In order to consolidate its advantages in the court, aristocratic families will continue to attract outstanding talents from among the people and develop them into their own disciples.

In this cultural environment, if a disciple betrays his mentor or benefactor, he will be scorned by the entire society. Therefore, even if these outstanding talents attracted by the people become officials, they will become their help in the future.

.

As for whether these outstanding folk talents are willing to be disciples of people from these aristocratic families?

What's not to like about that?

It’s not just a one-sided benefit to the family!

In the future, if they become officials, they will also be able to enjoy the political resources of the aristocratic family. This is a matter of mutual benefit.

How do you think Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty of Blue Star Yang Jian came about the imperial examination system? It was Yang Jian who moved the imperial examination system from within the clan to the court.

The aristocratic families love to take risks, enjoy achievements, and are enterprising; while most of the "small and medium-sized landowners ~ civil servants" from the imperial examination system are cautious, do not seek merit, but seek no faults, and are becoming increasingly conservative.

If aristocratic families are compared to large enterprises, then ordinary people are just individual industrial and commercial households.

Take Blue Star as an example. They also account for half of the country. The Eastern Jin Dynasty is far stronger than the Southern Song Dynasty. This is the difference between wealthy families and small landowners!

The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes dominated the Northern Wei Dynasty and greatly enhanced the military ethics of the Northern Wei Dynasty; however, the small landowners crawled under the iron cavalry of the Jin Dynasty, which later eroded the martial ethics of the Jin Dynasty and weakened the power of the Jin Dynasty; this is the relationship between the clan and the

The difference between small landowners!
