Eastern Jin Dynasty: Starting from the son of the refugee commander who returned from the north

Chapter 82

Outside the black clothes alley, Zhao Yue was dressed in a brocade suit, and he was standing in the moment, the water waves rolled outside the alley, and the waves burst out, and the alley was full of people and cars, and even a small crowd was formed nearby. There are water sellers, wine sellers, jujube sellers, and lychee sellers.
"This Bird Clothes Lane is so lively."

Xie Shang said on the side: "There is the Langya Wang family in the alley, this Wuyi Alley is naturally lively, and there are not a small number of people looking for it day and night."

"This is the demeanor of the first family in the world!"

Even now that the Yu family is in charge of Tai Province, the power seems to have surpassed the Langya Wang family, but in reality.

In terms of background, the Yu family is far inferior to the Langya Wang family.

Why do so many people come to visit Bird Clothes Lane every day?

Especially when the Langya Wang clan lost power in Taiwan Province?
The reason is naturally very simple.

For myself or my descendants of blood relatives, the children of the tribe can set high grades!
Only by being of high grade can one be an official with a clear career path; if one is not of high grade, one can only be a poor eunuch.

There are two paths separated by the nine-rank Zhongzheng system: Qingtu and Hanhuan, and the treatment of the two is very different.

Qingtu began in Wei Dynasty and flourished in Jin Dynasty.

Since the Sima family and his sons came to power at the end of the Cao Wei Dynasty, a kind of "the path of starting a family and transferring an upright official" has gradually emerged with the main purpose of favoring the children of high-ranking families and featuring serving as an upright official.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, due to the monopoly of elections by powerful clansmen, they lived in prominent positions, and some internal servants, the Eastern Palace, the government and various provinces held official positions, such as Sanqi Changshi, Sanqi Servant, Huangmen Servant, Gishizhong, and Prince Sheren. , Xima, Gongfu Shushu, Zhongshulang, Secretary Lang, Zhuoshulang, Shangshulang, etc., have become the habitual positions of starting a family and moving for the children of the high school.

These official positions were either at Tsinghua University, or at leisure. At that time, they were called "upright officials", "clear posts", "clear elections", "clear positions" and "clear Wang". After relocating in the middle, after that, you can "level up and make progress, and sit down to the public".

Therefore, with the rise of "the way of starting a clean official and moving to a family", the traditional election pattern has been changed.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, many of the sons and daughters of high-ranking and powerful families were promoted from upright officials to official positions.

For example, Zun, the son of Wei Situ He Zeng, "several calendar cleared his post, and finally became a servant".Song, the son of He Zun, "has little history of upright officials, and is the leader of the author".Sima Yi's second younger brother, Fu, was "gentle, honest, generous, and extensively involved in classics and history." Wei Chensi Wang Cao Zhi thought that he was a literary critic, and he was called "Qingxuan" at that time.

With the rise of the Qing Dynasty, the poor families struggled in their careers and were oppressed. They could only start from some lowly official positions, such as county officials, military officials, or Taiwan provincial officials. He moved among officials and was unable to set foot in Qingliu, so he was regarded as a "cold official" and "non-clear way".

For example, Wang Shen in the Jin Dynasty said, "There are very few talented people, out of poorness, they can't follow the ups and downs of the customs, and they are suppressed by the arrogance of the time. The officials in the county are literary, and they are depressed."Sun Shuo, "seldom was a county official, and Wu Fen, the prefect, turned him into the master book. Shuo ascended the Gangji from humble beginnings, and the big surname of Shi Liao still didn't sit with Shuo."

Tao Kan also "was lonely and poor as a county official in the early days". Although Shijun was the postal governor, moved to the master book, and was promoted to Xiaolian and removed from the doctor, he was still denounced as a "little man" by the ten clans.

At that time, "Fubo General Sun Xiu used the subjugated country to support the concubine, and the mansion was not visible. The Chinese people were ashamed to be a vassal, and they were called to be family members because of the coldness of the official."

The so-called "cold official" refers to the career path of the poor people, that is, the non-clear path.

It can be seen that most of the Han people in the Jin Dynasty started from lowly official positions such as county officials, and they had no chance to reach Qingtu.

Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Wu, Yan Zan went to Shuli Huai Taizidi and said: "Every time I see a master selected to go down to the county officials, he will take the ointment and beat the bell and the family of food. It is rare that there are Confucian scholars from poor families... The ministers are from poor families, unable to serve as officials, and do not go through the East Palace. .”

Qing Tu and Han Huan depend on their status.

Some gentry, he is neither high nor low, you say that he can go to Qingtu, no one will say anything, but you say that he will be an official after he is appointed, that is not unreasonable.

There are a lot of people like this kind of gentry who are not born high or low.

The Langya Wang clan has influence in every prefecture and county, and many prefecture and county Zhongzhengs are either friendly with the Langya Wang clan, or are directly descendants of the Langya Wang clan.

As long as the Langya Wang family speaks for you, you may be a Hanhuan, but the next moment you can go straight to Qingtu.

This is why Bird Clothes Lane is visited by so many people.

As for the determination of the product is based on family background, morality and talent, so what if the Langya Wang family opened their mouths?

It can only be said that this kind of thinking is too naive.

Family status cannot be changed, but talent and virtue have a lot of room for manipulation.

For example, the purpose of holding banquets among aristocratic families is to build mutual fame.

If the Wang family of Langya wants to recommend you to be the official of Qingtu after the final product, they only need to let you participate in some banquets and become famous among them.

The so-called nine-rank Zhongzheng system is nothing more than a game played by aristocratic families.

"I don't know why Brother Renzu ordered it?"

Xie Shang smiled slightly and said: "It's just the top and bottom grades of the country."

"That can be regarded as the third grade, and it can be regarded as high grade."

"It was considered a high-quality product before, but now it is nothing." Xie Shang smiled wryly.

According to the comments of family background and talent, Zhongzheng made a high and low quality rating for the characters, which is called "quality".

The product is divided into nine grades, that is, upper upper, upper middle, upper lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower lower.

But there are only two categories, namely top grade and low grade.No one can get the first grade, and it is useless, so the second grade is actually the highest grade.The third grade can still be regarded as high grade (top grade) in the early Western Jin Dynasty, and it will be reduced to low grade (low grade) later.

"It doesn't matter. In the future, I will be a Dazhongzheng, and I will change your yellow status for you, so that you can be top-ranked."

Zhao Yue was joking.

"This is why there are so many voices in Bird Clothes Lane. Those who are not satisfied with their own quality will naturally come to curry favor with others, hoping to improve their own level."

As usual, Zhongzheng reviewers are adjusted once every three years, but Zhongzheng can also upgrade or downgrade the reviewers at any time.

After a person's country rank rises and falls, the official rank and the turbidity of the official rank also often change accordingly.

Since the titles of Zhongzheng products are all written on yellow paper and stored in Situ's Mansion, they are called "Yellow Records", so the downgraded products or replicas must go to Situ's Mansion to correct the yellow paper.

In order to enhance Zhongzheng's authority, the government also forbids the judges to sue for false accusations.However, Zhongzheng made illegal products, and the government wanted to investigate its responsibility.

However.
As long as the top and bottom are my people, even if the fixed product is illegal, so what?

"Such people control the government, so that it is difficult for talented people to rise up. They are just moths of the country."

Xie Shang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to make too many comments on this sentence.

"It's still a little far away from the Wang's banquet, why don't you go to the humble house to rest for a while?"

To the Xie family mansion in Chenjun?
Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, thinking of Xie An, who was still a child, and Xie Yi, who was about the same age as him, Zhao Yue nodded happily.

It's a pity that talented women like Xie Daoyun haven't been seen yet, otherwise, we have to go and see her demeanor.

It is a must to earn in the house.

But considering that his father Xie Yizhi is one year older than him.

cough~
This kind of thinking is still somewhat dangerous.

Zhao Yue smiled at Zhao Yue and said:

"The name of the Xie family in Chenjun is like a thunderbolt. I go to your mansion to rest temporarily, and I can't ask for it."
