Xuande

Chapter 605 Zhang Rang Understands Very Well
It's useless for others to say this, but Liu Bei's words are really useful and have a huge deterrent effect.

The people of the ancient literature school have just witnessed the end of the modern literature school, and saw the tragic end of the modern literature school being liquidated as a whole. Once Liu Bei mentions the matter of "the same thing happened to him", the fear will inevitably be produced.

Facing Liu Bei's strength and the real deterrence, they have no better way.

Under the public opinion environment and political environment dominated by Liu Bei, everything the Jinwen School did was wrong. The past of the Jinwen School was a complete failure. If the Ancient Literature School wants to imitate the Jinwen School, it is digging its own grave.

In the current public opinion environment, it is very useful to use the miserable end of the modern literature school to give eye drops to those impure minded guys of the ancient literature school.

Therefore, after a heated debate meeting, with the support of Lu Zhi, the ancient literature school passed Liu Bei's resolution with a relatively small advantage.

Opening part of the knowledge of governance to grassroots students of the ancient literature school who can enter Taixue does not involve the knowledge of governance and tactics of real senior officials, but at least it can be involved at the county magistrate level, and popularize some political common sense to them.

It means that under the leadership of Liu Bei, the top leaders of the ancient literature school were forced to carry out a wave of limited "academic downward movement" in essence.

This is Liu Bei's route victory.

After establishing the reform of Taixue, Liu Bei started to make small moves again, taking advantage of this good opportunity to make a wave of slight improvements to the country's personnel system.

The personnel selection system of the Han Empire is actually very interesting.

Its personnel power is not controlled by a fixed department, but many departments and even individuals can control the personnel power, so that the personnel power is scattered outrageously.

Not to mention the prefects of the prefectures, the governors of the prefectures, and the subordinate officials of the prefectural herdsmen. At the central level, in addition to the selected department of Shangshutai having certain personnel power, the General's Mansion and the Sangong Mansion also have personnel power.

Generals can call subordinate officials and recommend officials directly to the emperor. Sangongs can also call subordinate officials and recommend officials directly to the emperor.

In the personnel structure of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Minister of Shangshutai, who was backed by the emperor, was divided into four courts, and the central and local governments also highlighted a separate court.

Even if personnel power cannot be unified, it is difficult to say how powerful the imperial power is. It is really uncertain how much deterrence an emperor without comprehensive personnel power can have on the empire.

Therefore, the current political structure of the Eastern Han Empire is taken for granted.

Liu Xiu's reform took away the superficial political power of the Sangong, thus forming the concentration of administrative power in Shangshutai, but it did not take away the personnel power of the Sangong, so that the further it developed, the more the Sangong was able to reverse the situation through personnel power. affect the political landscape.

Therefore, in the political field, the relationship between Shangshutai Xuanbu and Sangong is quite delicate.

But now, a sudden emergence of the general Liu Bei appeared, relying on military merit, prestige, and the special status of the clan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's power clearly surpassed Shangshutai and Sangong, and became the well-deserved first power.

As the first authority, Liu Bei's improvement proposal is to connect Taixue graduates with Shangshutai Selection Department. After graduation, Taixue graduates will face Shangshutai Selection Department, and the main assessment is Shangshutai Selection Department. Department hosts.

Then, according to the qualifications of the Tai students, the Selection Department of Shangshutai will make government arrangements for them, and arrange them to various grass-roots positions for training.

It turns out that there are various prospects for Taixue graduates, and you can take any path you want, as long as you can get through it, whether it is the selection of the Ministry, the Sangong's Mansion, the General's Mansion, the local state capital, county capital, etc. The government and county government are also good.

But now, Liu Bei hopes to take a standardized path, to make a fixed connection between the path of Taixue graduates after graduation and the selection department of Shangshutai, and then adjust the assessment method of selecting graduates, from the original symbolic transition to A real real test.

The whereabouts and jobs of the graduates after graduation will be decided by the Ministry of Shangshutai. Of course, they are limited to grassroots positions in some areas, mainly official positions. Only the top ten in the graduation examination can be assigned to official positions.

In the central government, Liu Bei suggested that positions below [-] shi should be arranged by the election department, and positions above [-] shi should be negotiated by everyone.

Regarding Liu Bei's suggestion, at the Jiade Hall meeting, many people inexplicably looked at Liu Bei's teacher Lu Zhi, because Lu Zhi was the only third-level official who was still in office at the time, and the Shangshutai Selection Department and the Sangong's Mansion Hostile in a sense.

Liu Bei put forward this suggestion with the intention of strengthening the power of electing the Ministry. It seems that it is not friendly to the Sangong, and it is not even good for his own Grand General's Mansion. Why is this?

Lu Zhi raised some questions at that time.

Although he had communicated with Liu Bei before and knew Liu Bei's real purpose, he knew that someone cared and needed him to be the fan.

Therefore, Liu Bei said that he believes that the selection of talents needs to be standardized, institutionalized, rigorous and cautious.

"Before that, there was a folk song circulating in Luoyang for many years. It was a folk song that was promoted for many years. But as if it never happened, it just passed year after year.

You have all seen what happened in the end, the chaos in Liangzhou, the chaos in Hedong, the chaos in Luoyang, the chaos in Yuzhou, the chaos in Jizhou, the chaos in Youzhou, the chaos one after another, one after another, endlessly Stop, is this what we want to see?
What is the reason for all this? The ballad has already said very clearly that truly useful talents cannot be selected, and incompetent mediocre people occupy high positions. But their children occupy high positions one by one, dragging the big man into the abyss.

This kind of situation is not what I want to see. Therefore, while carrying out reforms in running schools, the selection of talents must also be corrected. The mistakes of the Modern Literature School must be corrected. To start, we must start from Shangshutai.

The selection department is in charge of this part, with a fixed staffing, and it is very convenient to adjust and handle, and Zhang Changshi is definitely willing to cooperate with the court to handle this matter, am I right, Zhang Changshi? "

At that time, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang like that, and Zhang Rang, who was in charge of the book, blinked and nodded.

"If it is the imperial court's request, Shangshutai will naturally respond."

Liu Bei then looked at Lu Zhi.

"Lieutenant Lu, you should be relieved, right?"

Lu Zhi looked at Zhang Rang, didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"If Shang Shutai is willing to cooperate, of course it would be great. The selection of national talents is indeed a top priority. This can be discussed later."

With Lu Zhi's nod, the matter was finalized without any disturbance.

As for this matter, Zhang Rang's attitude is rather ambiguous.

He felt that Liu Bei had an idea about the selected department in his hand, and he even talked to Liu Bei about it.

"I'm not going to hide it from you. I don't plan to reach out to the election department at present, but in the next stage, I plan to centralize all the powers of the entire imperial court, whether it's the general, the Sangong, or other people who set up the government. I will find a way to collect the general's power to employ people, and the selection of the department is of course one of them."

Zhang Rang was surprised by this.

"This is an unprecedented thing. Since the establishment of the election department, it is true that they want to share this part of the power. However, the existence of the four princes, the general and the three princes, is deeply rooted, and even Emperor Guangwu cannot be shaken, let alone now. ?”

"Don't talk about Luoyang, I even want to take back the right to employ people in the local area, so that I don't think that the county is the country every day, and those who don't know think that the Han Kingdom is more than 100 small countries lumped together."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Of course, I also know that this matter is a bit difficult, and it is not easy to do it, so I will not act rashly. Isn't this a little bit? You always have to try a little bit."

"I feel a little bit wrong about this."

Zhang Rang thought about it, and then asked tentatively: "Speaking of which, if I don't want to hand over the selection to you, what will you do? Will you do anything to me?"

"I promised you that I will make you rich and rich forever, that's for sure."

Liu Bei patted Zhang Rang on the shoulder with a smile: "But it's just to make you rich and rich forever, you know."

Looking at Liu Bei's smiling face, Zhang Rang shivered for no reason.

"Understand."

"That's good."

Liu Bei's smile was the same as always.
