The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 46

King Yan extended his hand in greeting, telling him not to resent because of anger, and said politely: "Liu Changshi, loyal and good for generations, the eldest brother Liu Pei died and the country was in disaster. I respect you very much. Tell me why you can't act like a ninth-rank official. Law."

Liu Bin corrected his color and said: "In the early Han Dynasty, the inspection was based on determination, but in the Huanling period, most of them collapsed. There is a saying in the countryside: "A scholar does not know the book, and a filial and honest mother lives away." Therefore, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, The Shangshu ordered Chen Qun to change the bad governance of the procuratorate, and the World Bank's nine-rank system is used to determine official positions, and this is the law of the nine-rank officials. However, following this, and in Jin Dynasty, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits."

King Yan listened to Liu Bin's words sideways, nodded frequently, and said: "I would like to hear more about it."

"When it was founded, it was based on talking about the merits of talents, not the superiority of the family, but after a hundred years of practice, there are many disadvantages."

Liu Bin looked around, all the ministers of the Han nationality had complicated expressions, Han Huan could not compare it to saying that the Liaodong aristocratic family, with their human power, pushed the nine ranks to be upright, so as to show the stern of the family.However, our Han Chinese and overseas Chinese are all disapproving. If the ninth-rank official and human law is abolished, it will block the way for the children of the aristocratic family to enter.

However, the great struggle between countries lies first in talents.Now the world is in chaos, the rosters and genealogies of the aristocratic families are almost gone, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. In terms of family status, it is tantamount to seeking a sword.If there is no competition to prevent the world's elites from entering the court of Yan, the country of Yan will be in danger, and the scholars will not survive, and the struggle for family status will give way to the struggle for the survival of the country of Yan.In addition, after Yan Zhigong became Xianbei, he suddenly became violent for less than a hundred years. After all, the children of the Han nationality succumbed to him, and there was no soil for the nine-rank law, so no one criticized him.

Just listen to Liu Bin slowly say: "Cao Wei's nine-rank discussion has three: family background, career status, and fixed rank. However, during the Jin Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty, it has become a fact that the rank is more important than the family. There is a saying in the world: the emperor regards the noble son as the rank, No one in the village dares to be the same generation. Children of high-ranking gentry are often selected by the official department directly from their families to become officials, without having to go through inspection and evaluation, and their career status is almost empty."

King Yan thought for a moment, "Lieutenant Liu Xiang of Dongyi!" Only King Yan said loudly.

"The minister is here."

"Gongjiu has been in the Jin Dynasty for many days. Tell me, what is the situation in the Jin Dynasty today? What are the pros and cons of what Liu Changshi discussed?"

Liu Xiang straightened his body and said: "Liu Changshi's words are all true. I have entered the Jin Dynasty and watched them for a long time. Among his courtiers, there are no low-ranking people at the top and no nobles at the bottom. People from high-ranking wealthy families have been awarded official titles while they are still infancy. However, Haoshou, a son of a poor family, only had to be a small official with a knife and a pen, which is very unfair. Since the Jin Dynasty went south, the Wang family of Langya, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Xie family of Chenjun, the Longkanghuan family and even the Yu family of Yingchuan were all powerful families at one time. The emperor of Jin was abolished, the government came out of his private sect, and he dominated the court, causing disasters and chaos in the world. The Jin family suffered a lot. However, the survivors of Jin depended on the aristocratic clan. People at that time said that "the king and the horse share the world". If Without the help of aristocratic clans, after Wu, Hui, Huai, and Min, how could Ma Rui of the Shuzhi King Company inherit the throne, occupy the land on the left side of the river, and continue to exist in the Jin Dynasty?

Liu Xiang stood up and bowed his hands to pay tribute to the king of Yan and all the princes and ministers, "My kingdom of Yan is unified as a king, and the employing people are not stick to one style. Among the fish and salt. Our country of Yan should use talents and learning to win over the scholars in the world, and we must not use family status to weaken the hearts of scholars."

Liu Bin said: "My minister heard: there are many people who start well, but few who end well. At the beginning of the dynasty, it was only a matter of meritocracy, but after several generations, it must be that there are many meritorious and wealthy families, privately conferred positions of famous officials, and formed cliques for private interests. In the end, it can be said that It is: "Han Su is as clear as white and turbid as mud, and Gao Liang's family is as timid as a chicken."

"The minister seconded the proposal." The Prime Minister first proposed.

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal." The rest of the ministers and others all seconded the proposal.

King Yan looked at the ministers, his mind was fixed, he turned his head and asked: "Han Canjun, what Liu Bin said, is it okay?"

With today's situation, Han Huan already knew that he had offended the public, so in order to protect himself, he leaned over and said: "This humble minister is so pedantic that it insults the saints, and I agree with Liu Bin's words."

Hearing this, the King of Yan nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, Guyi bestows the minister's children as palace students, no matter how high or low they come from, and invites all the wise and intelligent children of all ethnic groups to join me in Dongxiang." The King of Yan paused for a moment. , added: "Nowadays, Xiang's studies are small, and I wish to use the old palace as a home to establish Dongxiang. Although the Four Books and Five Classics are the most important Confucian scholars, if there are scholars who are talented and talented in today's great controversy, they can try it and use it." The solitary mind, the ritual of archery in the countryside, visits every month, and examines the pros and cons of the examination, and selects the one who is outstanding in the classics and has superior skills, and will be promoted as a close servant. If the person is dull, mediocre, and fails to pass the examination, he should be Returning to the place of origin, discarding all the people who are just pretending to be numbers, and only needing great talents."

Yang Yu said from the side: "The selection of virtuous people has passed the examination, and the selfish thoughts of the recommended people should be discarded, and rewards and punishments should be given simultaneously, Your Majesty is wise."

Feng Yi, the Prime Minister of the State, also said: "Great talents are exhausted, and the building is lost. The rise and fall of the country, the most important thing is to get people and employ people. Today, the country of Yan recruits talents from all over the world. If they use their talents according to their ability, they will surely be able to make a big difference in the world. My Wang Shengming .”

All the ministers shouted: "My Wang Shengming."

After retiring from the imperial court, the king of Yan quickly ordered the officials to place recruiting orders at the main roads of the counties and prefectures of the state of Yan. For a while, everyone rushed to tell each other. One after another, they entered Xiangxue for assessment and used according to their talents.All township schools, county schools and other academic officials and Jijiu recommended people with knowledge and expertise to study in Yandu Xiangxue.

After the promulgation of the Order of Seeking Talents, Murong Hao, the King of Yan, was particularly concerned about the selection of talents. He visited Dongxiang in his spare time. If he was interested, he would write questions and test the students himself.

After this, Feng Heng, the son of Feng Yu from a family of the Han family, Liu Dang, the son of Xuantu Liu Pei, Sun Xi, the younger brother of Sun Yong, and Fu Yan among the exiles, were all able to study in Dongxiang, passed the examination, and were awarded officials according to their talents.

This Yandu Xiangxue school is crowded with people, and this day there is a lot of hustle and bustle inside and outside the Xiangxue school. Everyone laughs at a person who writes an article that doesn't make sense and doesn't manage well, but he also seeks fame in vain.He is proficient in writing and ink, but he comes here to gain fame.But they didn't know that King Yan was behind them, and everyone hurriedly turned around to salute. The internal officer Ping Bo asked, "Why are you making such a fuss here?"

A scholar stepped forward and said: "We all admire King Yan's heart to recruit scholars from all over the world, but now there are also people who are overwhelmed. This person is illiterate, but he also wants to be an official." Want to throw this person out.

The King of Yan ordered: "Show Gu a look at the article written by that man."

King Yan read it, but he couldn't help laughing. He chirped, hoarse, and put on a hat, but he couldn't understand anything.

The King of Yan said angrily: "I want to accept the talents from all over the world to enter the court of Yan. It is difficult for you to accept the talents of the master. Please find another place."

But the man said unconvinced: "A gentleman's six arts are not specialized in literature. Although I am illiterate in writing and ink, I can understand all of the six arts."

All the scholars were greatly injustice, and those who were trying to catch fame shouted to get out, get out.

The prince who accompanied him watched him for a long time, but he saw that he was full of heaven and powerful, but not cunning. What can you say?"

"Your Majesty said so, it's okay, I don't know about this matter." After speaking, King Yan returned to the prince to rest.

The prince cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Father."

I saw the son came up to him and asked him: "What are your abilities, why don't you show it quickly, if you have a false name and grandstanding, you will definitely be beaten with sticks."

But this person said neither humble nor overbearing: "Among the six arts, I am the best at archery and imperial control. My archery skills are all "five archery abilities", and my imperial ability has "five imperial abilities".

"Oh..." the prince suddenly became interested, and the five shots are: "Bai Shi", "Shen Lian", "Shan Zhu", "Xiang Chi" and "Jing Yi".It is a very difficult archery skill. Most people can be good at archery if they master one of them.

These five rules are the skills of driving, including: "Ming and Luan", "Zhushui Song", "Passing the Emperor's Biao", "Dancing at the Intersection", and "Chasing the Bird to the Left".It means five kinds of superb driving skills. Those who can master two or three kinds of driving skills in the army can control the king and command the commander's flag. Those who have all five driving skills are rare in the world.

"Give him a bow and arrow, and drive." The prince ordered his attendants to prepare.

For a while, drums rang out and dust flew up.I saw that man in the Xiangxue Square, raising his bow and nodding his arrows while driving, "swish swish" three arrows in a row, and the birds in the sky fell in response to the arrows.Everyone picked up the bird in the sky and looked at it. Three arrows went straight into a wound without missing a hair, and everyone was amazed.

Nie Hao, an attendant of the King of Yan, said to the prince: "My lord, this man has such an ability to ride and shoot. He can join our Yan army. How about being a captain?"

"Ah," said the son noncommittally, "the army is vulgar, not as majestic as a strong man."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, grabbed the man's hand and said, "The strong man is great." The son couldn't help but praised, "The strong man is no longer stuck in documents, but can enter my personal guard, how about it?"

I saw the man knelt down to thank him and said: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I will serve you wholeheartedly and will not hesitate to do so."

"The strong man got up quickly, can you tell me your name?"

"Mong Gao"

"Get Mencius's high righteousness." Shizi patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "The strong man follows me, and I will definitely live up to the strong man's high righteousness."

The son took Meng Gao to the stage and said to everyone: "Today, my country of Yan, if I want to make a big fortune in the world, I will be in the same boat as everyone. Anyone who has a skill can go to my court of Yan. Anyone who comes to my country of Yan will not refuse. Now I have Meng Gao. It is proof."

I saw a student leading the way and said: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, I admire you and wish to follow your Majesty."

Everyone said: "Wish to follow the son of the world."

In the past few years of moving to the new capital, although the affairs of the middle school were disturbed, everything was safe.

The day was sunny and sunny, and the heat gradually dissipated. The wind in the northern border became tighter day by day.King Yan was in his residence, he had finished processing the official documents, he stretched his waist long and looked out the window, the leaves were starting to turn red, it was already past the summer harvest season.

Huma follows the north wind, and the south branch of the Yue Bird's Nest. Since ancient times, autumn has been full of sorrow and sorrow. This boy guarded Tuhe for a long time. He didn't know if the weather was cold or if his clothes had increased. Drive, go to Lanfei Palace."

"The king of Yan is here." Following Uncle Ping's shout, King Yan walked slowly into Concubine Lan's bedroom,
Concubine Lan hurriedly bowed and saluted in a hurry.King Yan has been in poor health for the past few days, and he hasn't been to the harem for a long time. When he saw Concubine Lan, he felt a little like a world away.He hurriedly picked up Concubine Lan, and led her to sit down at the same table.

I saw King Yan caressing Concubine Lan's emerald jewels and beautiful hair, but suddenly a strand of white hair appeared in a tuft of blue hair.

"Concubine Lan has been working harder and harder for Ba'er in the past few days."

Concubine Lan said indifferently: "Ba'er troubled my king, and my concubine thanked King Yan."

"Concubine Lan doesn't need to be too polite. I see Ba'er, and Tuhe's job is very good. At the end of this year, I will call Ba'er back to the capital."

Concubine Lan still said flatly: "The concubine thanked my king."

King Yan felt that Concubine Lan was no longer as gentle as yesterday, and she was not as warm to him as she was in the old capital.It's no wonder that the Yan Kingdom is no longer comparable to yesterday. Looking at the northern border, there is no match. .

King Yan looked at Concubine Lan's calm face for a long time, but he didn't know the strength. He hugged her and said, "Gu, Xu Duan will marry Ba'er first, just choose a date."

Concubine Lan was about to break free, but was stunned by King Yan's words, she stopped her struggling hands and said, "Your King Yan is serious?"

King Yan touched Concubine Lan's nose, "Guhe ever lied to you?"

"The concubine thanked my king on Ba'er's behalf."

"But how do you thank me?" King Yan is in good health today, but his hands are restless.

Concubine Lan was ashamed and hurriedly shielded the maidservants on the left and right.

"Your Majesty is mighty, but my daughter will serve you wholeheartedly."

King Yan hugged her into the couch, rubbed her ears and temples together, and while undressing her, he said, "Haha, you can talk."

The sun is also gradually sinking to the west, and the lights in Concubine Lan's palace are just coming up, King Yan slowly wakes up from Concubine Lan's couch, only to see Concubine Lan sitting quietly beside her, with long hair on the waterfall bed, combing her hair, very charming .

King Yan just lay on the bed and looked at her quietly, and suddenly said: "If Gu can pretend to live in the sky for a few years, calm the world, cultivate kindness and righteousness, and be assisted by ministers, how about making Ba'er the son of the world?"

Concubine Lan stopped combing her hair for a while.

Concubine Lan buried her head deeply in King Yan's chest, hugged his thick shoulders and said, "If ordinary people would be happy to hear this decision? However, the concubine is really worried and can't help herself. Fortunately, evil? Misfortune?"

King Yan hugged Concubine Lan tightly: "I love my concubine, I love Ba'er alone, I can't help myself, Concubine Lan is wise, and Ba'er is intelligent. Now the world is in chaos, I'm happy to be a son, and I'm worried if I don't. Let's see fate."

Suddenly a servant rushed over, "Report to my king, and the scouts will report that there will be great chaos in Zhao Guo."

King Yan got up in a hurry, glanced at it in a hurry, turned to Concubine Lan and said, "You should remember the words of your father. You should not be happy or worried. The collapse of Zhao State began with the prince."

After finishing speaking, he got up and said to the servant: "Quickly call the ministers of the court and all the princes who stay behind to gather in the Xinchang Palace. There are changes in the State of Zhao. Our State of Yan will make preparations in the morning."

After speaking, I want to change clothes and go out.

Concubine Lan hurriedly called Xiaoai over, and Concubine Lan carefully dressed King Yan and arranged the blouse, wrapped it around a belt with a jade and gold buckle, and hugged King Yan tightly for a long time before letting go.
