"At the beginning of the establishment of the throne of Fangtiandi, the various groups were divided into groups, and the most capable person was chosen as the chief ruler."
Chang'an, Xuanpingli.
Although they are the largest family in the imperial court, with great power and talents, the Yang family is much more low-key and humble than the Fufeng Ma family. For their residence in Chang'an, they did not choose Beique Jiadi, where dignitaries gather, but settled for the next best thing.
, I chose 'Xuanpingzhiguili' in the north of the city.
"Being clear and philosophical, in order to protect one's life" is a family tradition that the Yang family has inherited since the Western Han Dynasty, and it is also the way for them to settle down and prosper. They are also the top wealthy family in the Han Dynasty, but they have never been like the Yuan family in Runan.
Such high-profile publicity and massive publicity made it seem as if their family was the only one in the world who were the "four generations and three nobles" and "high-ranking officials".
If we really talk about the background, the Yuan family, which has just started to become famous in this dynasty, cannot be compared with the Yang family at all, let alone the inheritance of nearly 500 years.
Yang Qi sat at the head of the throne, with Yang Biao, the Guangluxun, and Yang Zhong, the commander of the five senses, Yang Ru, the captain of the Qiang Protector, Yang Yi, the Taixue wine minister, and others. Even the junior secretary Lang Yang Xiu was behind.
Last seat.
Except for Yang Ru, the captain of the Qiang Protector who was stationed in Xi County, all the direct descendants of the Yang family who are now officials in the court are here.
Yang Qi glanced at everyone, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty has newly established a department of civil service. It seems that it is irreversible."
Everyone was silent when they heard the words. This was a result that everyone expected but was unwilling to accept.
In fact, in essence, the Civil Service Department is nothing more than delaying the time for these scholars to become officials, and it does not completely cut off their path to officialdom. As long as these scholars have real talents and practical knowledge, it will be sooner or later that they enter the court and become officials.
It will still supplement the influence of the Kanto scholars in the government.
As long as it does not want to become a separatist regime, the imperial court will definitely introduce talents from Kanto to increase its strength and offset the influence of Kansai scholars in the court to a certain extent. This is the general trend in the future, and even the emperor cannot avoid it. He can only
It’s just a matter of temporarily delaying the process and gaining time to plan the situation so that you can deal with it calmly.
Yang was not worried that the Civil Affairs Department would prevent these scholars from strengthening the Guandong scholars. On the contrary, the emergence of the Official Affairs Department would better screen out a group of outstanding talents for use by the Guandong scholars.
What really worries them is the Department of Civil Service itself.
"Government is to govern officials." Taixue Jiujiu Yang Yi said: "Once this subject is opened, it will definitely become a custom. From now on, all those who are recommended for recruitment will enter this subject. If they succeed in studying, they will be awarded officials. If they fail, they will return to their hometown. As for the
It is up to His Majesty to decide how to be considered successful, and the public policy test is reduced to empty talk. This is a major change in the selection and appointment of officials in the imperial court."
"But it is good governance." Yang Biao pondered for a long time before saying this.
"In my opinion, this is unnecessary." Yang Yi said: "Your Majesty obviously does not believe in the government's examinations, nor does he believe in local recommendations. If not, why bother to set up another subject? Some of the recommended scholars are not full of talent and learning.
, successively served in counties and counties? Where do I need to go to the "official administration" department and listen to people's explanations on how to govern and how to govern the people?"
Yang Zhong, the city's deep-featured lieutenant general, rarely agreed with Yang Yi's point of view. He turned sideways and said to Yang Qi: "That's true. Your Majesty set up the Department of Officials to manage officials. It seems that Your Majesty not only wants to put your own
The imperial court established a customized practice of sending ministers to local areas to serve as officials, and also recommended local talents, because they also had the way to become officials. As long as these two things are done well, the imperial court will select and appoint people in the future.
It all depends on Your Majesty."
The Yang family is very scheming and can often figure out the emperor's deeper intentions from every move. The rest of the Yang family all admire his ability. When they heard what he said, most of them looked thoughtful and agreed.
If what Yang Zhong said is true, in the future, the imperial court will appoint imperial students to serve as meritorious officials and subordinates in counties and counties. This will undoubtedly weaken the strength of local powerful people and strengthen the imperial court's control over local areas; and the political achievements recommended by counties and counties in the future will be
The subordinates of outstanding meritorious officials, or local scholars with talents and virtues, can only be appointed after they have mastered the science of government administration.
The imperial students were sent to the localities, and then refined to the central government. In this cycle, for several years, the emperor would silently carry out a blood exchange for the entire imperial court from top to bottom.
Guang Luxun Yang Biao's heart was slightly shaken. He thought about the matter carefully and said slowly: "What the officials have learned are all the major policies implemented by the imperial court recently, such as farming, salt and iron. It stands to reason that they should be familiar with the imperial court.
Government orders will facilitate future administration so that everyone can communicate with each other so that everyone does not do their own thing, which is not a bad thing. It’s just that”
He first made a fair evaluation, then glanced at everyone, and then said: "I'm afraid that it will be mixed with the other five subjects of Taixue."
Although the emperor mentioned several times that the Department of Official Affairs was only placed under the name of Taixue and was not among the disciplines, its learning content, academic achievement standards, and assessment methods were generally the same, and they all came from the emperor's wishes. From now on, Taixue and the Department of Official Affairs
The talents who come out can only be appointed if they support the emperor's policies and are consistent with his political views. In the long run, it is indeed not a good thing for them.
"There are no doctors in the Department of Civil Affairs, only teaching, and the content is simple. It is not as good as the five subjects of Taixue, at least there is room for us to comment..." Yang Zhong slowly thought about it, and when he said this, he suddenly stopped.
He came down and asked: "Has Your Majesty revealed the details of the teaching of the Department of Civil Affairs and who will be in charge?"
This is not a difficult thing to guess. The relationship between officials, administration and science is very important, and no one can be appointed except by close confidants. If the emperor does not want it to be affected by any party in Kanto and Kansai, he can only be neutral but close to those scholars, and have nothing to do with those scholars.
Find it among ministers with certain influence.
Therefore, Yang Biao said with great confidence: "There will be no one more suitable to teach officialdom than the Northern Army's Lieutenant Commander."
"Wang Bin?" Yang Yi said unceremoniously: "A person who has never governed the people or managed affairs wants to teach others how to govern affairs? Isn't it ridiculous?"
As he said this, he changed the topic and pointed the finger at Yang Qi: "Gong Ting should not easily express his position in front of His Majesty and admit this matter. If not, just the fact that Wang Bin teaches officials to govern is enough to trigger public discussion.
How can it be said that it is irreversible for His Majesty to take back his life?"
"Still thinking about the public discussion?" Yang Zan, the minister's servant, said with consternation: "How long has it been since the public discussion in Chengming Palace, and what was the result? Now that His Majesty is strong, there are no major drawbacks to this policy, and Dong Cheng and others are fighting with each other again
There is a estrangement between us. You still want to use public opinion to force your superiors. Do you really think that Wang Bin is a coward and an old man who cannot kill with a knife? "
Yang Yi initially served as Imperial College's minister of wine, and he was very high-spirited and wanted to make a career. However, he found that he could not respond to everything in the Imperial College. He was hampered by Pan Xu, the servant of the Imperial College, and his immediate superior, Tai Chang Zhao Wen. Especially when the emperor enforced the
The method of 'adjustment' is to forcefully allocate students from five disciplines, and do not allow one family to dominate.
Various restrictions made it difficult for Yang Yi to move forward and felt very constrained.
At this time, the grievances accumulated for many days were suddenly aroused, and his words had a hint of treason: "How dare he! When scholars discuss government affairs, they will benefit the court. If they are strict and do not allow it, what is the difference between them and King Li of Zhou?"
