Chapter 689 The marriage order of the prince is determined, and the Wei Wu version is right!
——Nine-grade Zhongzheng system.
Lu Yu was too familiar with it. Not only was he familiar with it, his view of this system... was in just four words - he hated it.
In his view, the return of the Three Kingdoms to the Jin Dynasty, as well as the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Five Husbands' chaos in China during the Jin Dynasty, caused the entire Han people to suffer a disaster that nearly wiped out the entire nation.
And the culprit is none other than the "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System"!
As Cao Cao mentioned just now, the nine-grade Zhongzheng system divides the selection of officials into nine levels. After unified evaluation by the "Zhongzheng officials", the list will be submitted to the Ministry of Personnel, which will promote and dismiss officials accordingly.
Indeed, it solved the problem of non-standard selection of officials to a certain extent, clarified the official administration for a while, greatly attracted the clans, and eased the conflicts between the clans and the nobles...
This can be regarded as laying the foundation for the peaceful deduction of "Wei on behalf of Han".
But this "nine-grade Zhongzheng system" has a huge drawback, and that is the selection of "Zhongzheng officials".
In other words, as long as aristocratic families and powerful nobles control the "Zhongzhengguan", they can control the appointment, dismissal and selection of court officials through the hands of the "Zhongzhengguan".
Gradually, it evolved into "there are no poor families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class". Not only did it not weaken the clans and clans, but it made the clan system more chaotic. In the Jin Dynasty, "the king and the horse share the world", the Langya Wang family can grow into a
The existence of the Sima clan in the royal family shows the shortcomings of this system.
Lu Yu explained in detail the shortcomings and loopholes of the "nine-grade Zhongzheng system" in selecting officials to Cao Cao.
Including the competition and unfairness of "official officials", including the fact that students at the bottom are still not rated as "top grade".
These are just the continuation and inheritance of the inspection and examination system...and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
These words…
At first, Cao Cao just listened calmly, but the more he heard, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and it was terrifying to think about it carefully.
And Cao Cao's eyes gradually narrowed.
It seemed that he could sense something else from Yu'er's words.
"Does Yu'er want to implement the imperial examination system?"
"Exactly!" Lu Yu nodded, "There is no absolutely fair method in this world, but the imperial examination... is undoubtedly the fairest, fairest, and most open method possible despite being unfair. It can fundamentally improve the employment system and the official selection system!"
"As for... the imperial examination system, it is not just a book test. In addition to the literary test, there will also be a martial arts test... It can be regarded as a reserve general for the selection of the Wei Dynasty. In the morning, he will be a field minister, and in the evening he will ascend to the emperor's hall. Scholars with lower ability and poorer families will be selected.
There is also a chance to be able to
Entering the court, you get the opportunity to display your talents... In this way, officials become mobile, and once officials move, the influence of powerful families will gradually weaken... Imperial power will continue to have a price, which is completely different from that of the Han Dynasty.
system."
actually…
In terms of government affairs, Lu Yu still has many ideas, such as further promoting the idea of "dividing every child into an equal share", abolishing the state pastoral system, restoring the supervisory system of governors, prohibiting eunuchs and relatives from intervening in politics while maintaining the three mutual laws... and so on!
But no matter which system is implemented, one major premise must be ensured, and that is "talent..."
The so-called talent power!
No matter how good the system is, if no one promotes it, sooner or later it will be nothing!
The talents here are... talents who adapt to this era, rather than talents who are coerced by aristocratic families.
This is crucial to the Wei Dynasty and the future transformation of the world...
Subtly, Lu Yu has become more and more accustomed to his current role. His mentality has undergone fundamental changes. He no longer works for others. This is his own world. Every government order...every step he takes in the future.
He must think it over!
At this time, after hearing the comparison between the Imperial Examination and the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, Cao Cao's expression was still cold and he was still not relaxed.
because…
The imperial examination is great in many ways, but there is one thing that makes it difficult.
That is, when the "imperial examination" came out, it offended the clans all over the world.
This may cause the Wei Dynasty, which has just calmed down all the wars, to mutiny again!
"Yu'er..."
Cao Cao's sad face made Lu Yu guess what he was worried about.
Lu Yu was the first to say: "My father's concern is nothing more than the opposition of the clan. There is no doubt about my mother... The announcement of the imperial examination will definitely cause an uproar among the clans in the world, and there will definitely be hatred... It was because of the violent reforms of the Qin Dynasty that two generations of
Death, as a lesson from the past, the Wei Dynasty must be vigilant...but..."
Lu Yu blinked and looked out the window...in the direction of Xu Du.
"Now there is a person who is carrying this hatred for us... He has seen the truth about the decline of the Han Dynasty. He knows the truth about the tragic death of his father and brother Wang. He seems to have made up his mind... to disperse from this day on.
Darkness, see the light!"
Hmm…
Hearing this, Cao Cao's heart suddenly moved. Who was the person Lu Yu mentioned? He knew it well!
He was still wondering why the emperor wanted to stop the redemption of national debts, abolish the imperial examination system, implement the "imperial examination system", and arouse public outrage in the world at this sensitive time when the Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty coexisted?
It turns out...he wants to bear this hatred!
call…
Cao Cao took a long breath and patted his chest gently.
"That's it, that's it..."
"It turns out that my clan brothers' urging to advance was not because of the 'national debt' that caused them to lose profits, but because of the abolition of the imperial examination system, which hurt their roots... No wonder Yu'er said that Wei Daihan... the time has not come yet!"
Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded heavily.
"The time has actually come for Wei to replace Han. But if Wei wants to eliminate the shortcomings of Han, it will have to wait a little longer and let Han bear all the hatred. When an empire is filled with the hatred of scholars, there will definitely be a brand new one.
The empire opens a new chapter for this world!"
Who would have thought…
In this beautiful place, in the former residence of the Cao family, Wei King Cao Cao and his son Cao Yu... began to chat about the new chapter of the Wei Dynasty!
Just like in the past…
Lu Yu formulated for Cao Cao the strategy to break Yanzhou's situation, the strategy to revitalize the Central Plains, and the general strategic direction of "looking east, cage west, crossing south, harmonizing north, and settling in the middle".
This is like a reincarnation... a reincarnation from Wei Wu's hegemony setting sail to riding the wind and waves. Today's mission is not only to conquer the world, but also to defend the world!
Cao Cao once said, "If destiny is on my side, I will be King Wen of Zhou alone!"
But...actually.
When the public's expectations are met, when Xun You and Xun You will die in protest, when the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is extremely sincere and expects to hand over the imperial seal to Cao Cao?
How could he not choose to take that step towards the pinnacle of power!
Just like a big man has to bear the hatred, if there must be one person in the history books who has to bear the reputation of usurper, then let him do it!

…
Chancery desk.
Xun You was quite pleased and wrote the names of "Lv Lingqi", "Ma Yunlu" and "Sun Shangxiang" on the bamboo slips respectively.
The fifteenth day of next month is an auspicious day... best for getting married.
The arrangements for Prince Cao Yu's wedding have been finalized.
Three auspicious times were chosen in the morning, and they went out of the East Palace to marry the three girls respectively. The order was Lu Lingqi, Ma Yunlu, Sun Shangxiang...
After that, more than one hundred rituals were completed, and the entire process was timed to the minute!
After these are completed and the guests are given a banquet, the arrangements for the bridal chamber are also in this order.
After writing this...
Xunhe let out a long sigh of relief.
Chen Qun couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Xun Lingjun, you still have a way!"
"Haha..." Xun You smiled happily and said: "The Ma family of Xiliang, Lu Fengxian of Jiuyuan, and the Sun family of Jiangdong all came from martial arts backgrounds and advocated martial arts. Their daughters can't compete with each other, so naturally someone will compete for them. This
The result was achieved through hard work, and they won’t have any objections!”
Xun You didn't say everything in full, but Chen Qun already understood.
After all, the facts are there...
The results are there!
After a competition, Lu Bu deservedly came out on top;
Ma Chao is second...
As for Taishi Ci, even though the halberd can restrain the spear, Taishi Ci is inferior to either Lu Bu or Ma Chao...
This result...is finally decided!
Although they were somewhat reluctant, Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang could not propose anything. If they wanted to say more...
It seems stingy.
This matter came to an end, and both Xun You and Chen Qun felt a lot more relaxed.
Chen Qun opened his mouth to mention something else. "Xun Lingjun, having said that...this time your Majesty stopped the exchange of national debts and abolished the imperial examination system. This has stoked a hornet's nest!"
This topic comes up…
Xun You paused for a moment with an obvious expression.
The Xun family in Yingchuan also purchased a large number of treasury bonds. What Xun may be more concerned about is the abolition of the inspection and examination system.
To know…
Under the Chaju system, apart from Qiao Peixungui, the people who benefited the most were his Yuzhou clan headed by the Xun clan of Yingchuan!
In other words, they firmly held the power to select more than half of the officials in the Wei Dynasty.
Seeing that Xun was silent, Chen Qun continued to ask deeply: "Lingjun Xun's house has been crowded recently, right?"
"Are you talking about those officials?" Xun Yudan said calmly.
"I'm afraid I have to ask Xun Lingjun to take the lead in persuading the King of Wei to go further, right?" Chen Qun seemed to know everything.
Although recently, because of the prince's marriage, my thoughts have been complicated...
But in general, the Chen family needs someone to inform Chen Qun.
If the inspection and examination system is really abolished, how can the Chen family guarantee future prosperity?
"Persuading you to come in?" Xun You squinted his eyes at this time... He didn't say much, as if after seeing everything through, he would rather stay in the thick fog than dare to disperse the thick smoke around him.
Just then.
A civil servant came in to report, "Xun Lingjun, the emperor's envoy Zhang Yin and Tingwei Zhong Yao want to see you!"
Xun You narrowed his eyes, but Chen Qun opened his mouth and said: "This one before and after, you really know how to choose the right time."
Xun You said quickly: "Pass!"
The clerk was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously: "Xun Lingjun, which one should be passed on first?"
Xun You was stunned when he blurted out these words. Did such things need to be explained in the past? One side is the emperor, and the other side is the ministers. Naturally...but...
Xun Or suddenly figured out something...
Since the "stop convertibility of national debts" and the "abolition of the imperial examination system", the majesty of the emperor...or the majesty of the Han Dynasty has dropped to the lowest point. Even in the eyes of an ordinary civil servant, the balance between the emperor and his ministers is about to flip!
Xun You exhaled softly and said: "Of course he is the emperor's messenger!"
Not long after, Zhang Yin, the emperor's envoy, walked in quickly and saluted Xun Lingjun. "Zhang Yin, the envoy from the Gaomiao Temple, is here to convey the decree on the order of the emperor!"
None of the civil servants on the side knelt down.
Instead, Xunhou raised his robe and knelt down, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
The envoy Zhang Yin unfolded the imperial edict and read: "I have sent an edict under the Chancellor's desk to consult with the King of Wei... In the past, Emperor Yao Chan was located in Yushun and Shun, and Shun also ordered Yu. The destiny of heaven is not normal. Only those who are virtuous can steal it and become the Han Dynasty. Daoling was late and has been around for a long time; thanks to Wang Cao of Wei, he was virtuous, vigorously promoted his martial arts, and eradicated the violence, and the Qing Dynasty was settled in Xia. Now Wang Cao carries on the previous thread, and his virtue is glorious. District; the calendar of heaven is really your bow. In the past, Yu and Shun had great achievements, and they gave Xun Zen to the world; Yu the Great had achievements in guiding people, but he emphasized Hua Zen as the emperor. The Han Dynasty inherited Yao's fortune, and it had the meaning of passing down the saints. Jia Shun Lingzhi, Zhao Tianming ordered Zhang Yin, the imperial censor, to present the emperor's seal and ribbon with integrity. The king will accept it!"
As soon as this statement came out...
Xun You was shocked, and Chen Qun was also shocked.
This is an edict to pass on the throne. The emperor wants... to let the minister pass this edict to the King of Wei, and to give way to the King of Wei!
After Zhang Yin proclaimed it, he cupped his hands and said: "This edict is also expected from Xun Lingjun to send his troops to King Wei as soon as possible. Your Majesty implores King Wei to accept the destiny as soon as possible!"
this…
Xun You quickly asked in surprise: "Did your Majesty write this edict?"
Zhang Yin nodded, "It's absolutely true. Xun Lingjun can also go to the palace to ask His Majesty in person."
"Gudong"... Xun You swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Why did your Majesty issue this edict?"
This... Zhang Yin was silent for a moment.
He sighed and said softly: "Does Xun Lingjun not know?"
"Because of Prince Yu of Wei?" Xun You asked back.
Zhang Yin's eyebrows were obviously touched, but he didn't comment or open his mouth... and quickly stepped back.
Looking at Zhang Yin's leaving figure, Xun You held the emperor's edict in his hands and remained silent for a long time...
The civil servant on the side reminded Gao: "Xun Lingjun, Tingwei Zhong Yao is waiting outside the door!"
"Please...please quickly..."
Xun Yu's tone was trembling...
Chen Qun also opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words.
After about ten breaths, Xun Hui came back to his senses. He looked at Chen Qun and said with emotion: "What a long article. Now His Majesty wants to give way. Zhong Yao... Haha, all the officials are also moving forward. God’s will…is everything God’s will?”
"Isn't this good?" Chen Qun's eyes were sure, "At least, if Wei replaces the Han Dynasty, then... in order to calm the people's hearts, someone will take over the national debt of the Han Dynasty, and the inspection system..."
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
"Haha..." Xun smiled before Chen Qun finished speaking, but his laughter was a little cold.
He murmured with emotion.
"It's a perfect strategy, attack the enemy's heart... You are really yours, Crown Prince... His Highness the Crown Prince!"
It seems that there is something in Xun's words, and they have profound meaning!
…
…
Jiangdong. Wujun.
In a wine shop…
A girl covered in black veil walked from the stairs to the second floor. Amid the eager anticipation of countless men, she walked there and sat cross-legged on the main seat.
"Wujun divided the altar, offering wine and above, a total of eighteen people, see the saint..."
A man in black took the lead and performed a "Tao" salute respectfully.
After that, the other seventeen people also saluted and said: "See the Saint!"
And this woman covered in black veil... slightly raised her slender arms.
——"How did he tell you about the Zhitou Grand Sacrifice Wine before? I heard that he planned to... use that method to cause chaos in Jiangdong? It will make the Wei Dynasty tired of dealing with it, right?"
