MTL - Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms-Chapter 238 Examination System and Imperial Examination System
Yongzhou, Liuhezhuang.
While Cheng Ling and Fang Langzhong were talking, what she didn't know was that there were actually people talking about her in Shangjing, thousands of miles away.
Or to be more precise, these people are not talking about her, but the entire Yongzhou officialdom.
On this day, after Emperor Wei came down to court, he called a few close officials to go fishing in the imperial garden.
In the past two years, especially in the last year, Emperor Wei has fallen in love with fishing.
I don't know if it was because of excessive conquests in the early years, that Emperor Wei was overwhelmed by Emperor Wu's addiction, or because he had reached the age of knowing the destiny, in recent years, Emperor Wei has changed his previous aggressive style of killing, both internally and externally. , are milder than before.
He is also very tolerant of princes, no matter if it is an unsuccessful prince—
The dignified crown prince of a country. He used to be ignorant and inexperienced. In the past two years, in order to avoid political affairs, he even went to the Xiangguo Temple to lead him to practice.
But even so, Emperor Wei didn't say anything. The ministers said several times whether it was time to welcome the prince back to the court, and Emperor Wei helped to shirk it. He also protected the prince a lot in his words. It was a pity for an old father's heart. .
For other princes, Emperor Wei also had fatherly affection.
The sixth prince, the youngest son, was born by a noble concubine. He is only ten years old now. He should be at the age of studying in Taixue, but since last year, Emperor Wei has often brought him by his side and allowed him to observe political affairs.
Although the Sixth Prince is still young, he can only sit in and have no right to speak, but he is just an observer, and it is very impressive.
This invisibly even sent a signal to the people below: Could it be that Your Majesty intends to change the prince? Does Your Majesty actually care for the Sixth Prince?
But Emperor Wei was not just so fond of the sixth prince.
The older ones, such as the twelve-year-old fifth prince, often take him with him to teach him. Although not as often as taking the sixth prince, but not long ago, Emperor Wei also rewarded the fifth prince with a Dawan BMW!
This, but not even the sixth prince.
The fourth prince is 16 years old this year, and Emperor Wei has already offered him a concubine, and he has proposed several times that princes who are over 16 will be crowned kings.
It's just the titles presented by the Ministry of Rites. The Emperor Wei is not satisfied at the moment, so this matter is temporarily delayed.
The third prince is also sixteen years old this year, only two months older than the fourth prince, and Emperor Wei treats him equally well. Even if the third prince is a little obese and extremely gluttonous, the emperor Wei should give him as much as he should.
Naturally, this prince concubine is also going to show him up.
The early death of the second prince is a pain in the heart of Emperor Wei, and it is not necessary to mention it.
As for the eldest prince, that is, the crown prince.
Prince is also an old bachelor, and the ministers are not only worried about how long he has to practice in Xiangguo Temple, but also about his marriage.
Of course, the current topic is Yongzhou.
Emperor Wei held a fishing rod, sat on a low stool, dressed in normal clothes, and fished leisurely.
The spring in March is just right. In the imperial garden, strange rocks and strange flowers are scattered around Penglai Pond.
The Emperor Wei was fishing, and several important officials were also fishing.
Sitting on the left and right of Emperor Wei, one is Ning Jianxiong, the current minister, and the other is Cui Kai.
In addition, those who sat farther away were the imperial ministers of the Imperial Academy, and Wang Wen and others.
Chang Hong, Emperor Wei's most reliant valet, stood quietly behind him, listening in most of the time, and occasionally interjecting in a timely manner to make Emperor Wei happy.
The Emperor Wei said, "This old guy Fang Zhan has been on tour for more than two months, hasn't he? In the last half month, there seems to be no news all of a sudden? Where is he going?"
The middle servant Cui Kai said quickly: "The letter that came back last time said that the envoy Fang wanted to obey Jian and obey, and now he should have arrived in Yongzhou."
"Yongzhou." Wei Huang said, "Yongzhou is the fief of the third child."
King Fuyang ranked third in Emperor Wei's generation, and he was much closer to Emperor Wei's mother than his brothers next to him.
When Emperor Wei thought of King Fuyang, he also thought of the catastrophe that Yongzhou suffered last year.
Thinking of this, Emperor Wei was a little displeased and said: "This Luo You is really a bit outrageous. A small ghost tribe has robbed a good city. The third child is also good-tempered now. I didn't even cut him with a single sword!"
Yongzhou is the fief of the King of Fuyang, and one-third of the tax revenue is to be supplied to the residence of the King of Fuyang.
If it was put into the previous Wuhu era, this fief should be called Fuyang King Fengguo!
King Fuyang, let alone beheading a Yongzhou shepherd, he is beheading five or six of him, and that is his right.
But now, the power of the Emperor Wei is growing, the rights of all parties are gradually returning to the center, and the guard troops of the vassal kings have also been reduced from the previous unlimited to no more than 20,000 now—
Today is different! Under such circumstances, how many tigers does King Fuyang have to have before he can actually kill Yongzhou shepherds with his sword?
Emperor Wei said so now, but if King Fuyang really dared to kill one, what do you think of Emperor Wei's reaction?
After all, the robbery of Yongzhou has passed, Cui Kai said with a smile: "Your Majesty is merciful, and Your Majesty has a heart for His Majesty, and naturally, he is also kind. Luo Ping has been in Yongzhou for several years, and there is no credit or hard work. Possibly take anger out."
Wei Huang also laughed immediately and said to Cui Kai: "You, you are just a muddy one!"
Not to mention, Emperor Wei liked the tune of Cui Kai and the muddy.
If you want to replace it with the Prime Minister He Hanna and other characters, look... Wei Huang is fishing now, and he doesn't like to call him!
Wei Huang said: "There are too many officials in Yongzhou Prefecture. You should pay more attention to Fang Zhan's news and take a look at the evaluation. If there is a corpse that is vegetarian, it should be slapped. If there are not enough manpower, this year's spring New Scholars of the new division, transfer as many as you can!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was fishing beside them was shocked.
Adjust the new division of Jinshi!
This is a big signal. It has only been more than ten years since the imperial examinations were implemented in Wei. The number of jinshi produced in the past ten years is indeed limited, and it is impossible to fill all the vacancies of officials in the Wei state.
The inspection system, the nine-rank middle-ranking system, still occupies an important position in the selection of officials.
Like Yongzhou was robbed last time, a large number of officials in the government office were killed, Luo Ping did not have time to transfer people down, so he selected a group of famous people locally to serve as temporary officials. This behavior belongs to the inspector.
Cheng Ling was appointed as the chief registrar of Yongzhou, which also belonged to the superintendent.
The Emperor Wei has made it clear now that Cheng Ling's position will bear the brunt of being transferred to Yongzhou as a Xinke Jinshi, and there is a danger of being slapped down!
Don't look at what Emperor Wei said is to be judged in combination with the assessment, but who wouldn't listen to the emperor's words?
Sometimes the casual remarks of the superiors may bring a storm to the bottom!
