Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 296 Imperial Examination
Yecheng is very large.

After the people moved out, the city became even more empty.

Mrs. Dong of Wei Guo repeatedly asked to move out of the palace, but Li Yue did not agree.

There are Tongque, Bingjing and Jinhu three enough to handle official business.

When Shi Le attacked Yecheng, Liu Yan, Xie Xu, Tian Qing, Lang Mu and other begging troops relied on three platforms to fight against Shi Hu and resisted for many days.

Shihu ascended the throne and expanded it to include stables, arsenals, and granaries. There is a secret passage below the stage connecting the water gate to Zhangshui outside the city. The ice well in Santai used to store a large amount of ice, coal, and millet under the stage. , salt, pepper.

From the perspective of terrain, Santai is condescending and overlooks the land of Hebei. It is a military fortress in itself.

Such a place is definitely not to be missed.

Moving into the palace meant being separated from the soldiers and his subordinates, plunged headlong into a crowd of women, surrounded by wolves, and the interior was not monolithic, so Li Yue dared not slack off in the slightest.

Shangshusheng, Zhongshusheng, and Menxiasheng also all moved into Jinfeng Taichung.

The camp of the Chinese army was set up in Tongqueyuan. Once there was a war, the cavalry could directly rush out from the stable gate, and the infantry would go out to fight from the Jinming gate in the southwest.

In addition, Li Yue also moved the Martial Arts Hall and the Martial Arts Hall.

The families of the soldiers were placed in the inner city, and several or dozens of families shared a large house left by the dignitaries of Jie and Zhao.

The disastrous defeat of Ran Minxiang country not only destroyed one hundred thousand elites, but also the people in the country died in the battle. Liu Qun, Cui Jin, Shen Zhong, Tiao You and others rebuilt the bureaucratic system.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the three provinces and six departments had been developed and perfected, and they have been used until later generations.

"Looking at the mistakes of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they all lie in the nine-rank official law. The wise cannot enter the court, and the mediocre occupy high positions. This method can no longer be used. In the future, when recruiting officials, their talents will be tested first, and then their virtues will be tested."

In the first great dynasty when he ascended the throne as Duke Liang, Li Yue directly abolished the traditional nine-rank official law.

From the performance of the Jiangdong gentry, it can be seen who are selected by the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law, and Jiangdong has gone further and further in the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law.

"Mr. Liang is talking about Dong Zhongshu's examination method?" Liu Qun knew Li Yue's intention with a blink of his eyes.

Dong Zhongshu's "Spring and Autumn Fanlu" in the Western Han Dynasty has a record: the method of examinations is that the big ones are slow, the small ones are anxious;

It is the earliest appearance in the Western Han Dynasty that there are scholars (maocai), Mingjing, Mingfa, virtuous and upright, and filial piety.

Therefore, some people in later generations believe that the imperial examination first appeared in the Han Dynasty.

But it was short-lived, and the gentry of the Eastern Han Dynasty thrived and monopolized the power of selection.

"Exactly, this method is called imperial examination." Li Yue glanced at everyone.

During the Yongjia Rebellion, the nobles of the Wei and Jin Dynasties fled to Jiangdong one after another, and the nobles of the Northern Kingdom were at a time of weakness. If we don’t stop them at the source at this time, I’m afraid that the ills of the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties will come back again.

But the local tyrants are all focused on their own one-acre three-point land, and have no time to care about what happens in the court.

Although the imperial examination is not a panacea, it at least gives the poor and common people a chance.

The ones who tried imperial examinations in history were precisely the Southern and Northern Dynasties that stabilized after the Sixteen Kingdoms. The Northern Wei, Northern Qi, and Southern Dynasties all tried imperial examinations until Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty developed and formed them.

Setting up the imperial examination was Li Yue's first step, paving the way for the Martial Arts Hall and the Martial Arts Hall.

"This method...is beneficial to the country, and the world is in chaos. It's time to employ people without sticking to one pattern." Liu Qun's face was calm.

The rest of Shen Zhong, Tiao You, Nie Xiong, Ji Wei and others are not counted as Dashi, let alone object.

In troubled times, there are rules in troubled times.

Even if the imperial examination method is adopted, the gentry still has a huge advantage. Those who can read and practice calligraphy these days are not gentry tyrants.

Without Li Yue's acquiescence, their positions as Sikong and servants would not exist.

So this is just an exchange of interests, and those who can gain a foothold here naturally do not have a fool.

That's how the imperial examination was decided.

After the court meeting, Li Yue, Cui Jin, Wei Shan, Gao Yun and others inspected the barracks.

After nearly two months of busy work, the new army has been recruited.

To Li Yue's disappointment, the soldiers were generally thin and thin, with yellow and thin faces, standing with the old soldiers of the Heiyun Army, and they were clearly different from each other.

It is difficult for people these days to eat a bite of food, let alone be full.

If you don't have enough to eat, you will naturally become thin.

"Don't look at them being thin, they are all tough guys on the battlefield, and I was waiting for the same in Heiyun Mountain back then." Wei Shan didn't care.

Li Yue nodded, "There's no need for training. For a month, eat three meals a day, eat meat a day, and adjust your body. Don't pull it out like a beggar, and embarrass me."

Everyone laughed.

After laughing, Cui Jin said: "Recently, Fu Xiong broke through Luoyang and is heading south to Xuanyuan Pass to enter Yuzhou to plunder the people."

It is true that Fu's behavior is a bit unruly. After Fu Jian came to power, he had completely different styles from Fu Hong.

Wei Shan said angrily: "Hmph, Fu's wanton behavior under our noses, is it tolerable or unbearable!"

"Has Huan Wen made a move?" Li Yue asked.

Cui Jindao: "Huan Wen sent troops to Xinye and did not move. It is very likely that he does not like Zhang Yu's little fortune."

Huan Wen didn't even manage Shuzhong, and kept his eyes fixed on Jiangdong, let alone Yuzhou.

Li Yue asked people to fetch the map and figured it out.

There was a reason why Fu Jian was so crazy. After entering Guanzhong, he became like a dragon crossing the river, invincible in every attack, and his strength expanded rapidly.

Now the hands have reached out to the Central Plains.

He didn't take himself seriously at all.

"It's not rude to come and go. They extend their hands, and we extend our hands." To win their respect, you need to show your strength.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the Fu family and the Murong family will unite in the future to divide Kanto equally.

This possibility is extremely high.

From the perspective of Guanzhong, the snipe and the clam compete with each other in the Yan and Wei Dynasties, and they benefit from it.

Yan Guoqiang, the Fu family may unite with him.

But one day, when the Central Plains develops, they will turn around and wear a pair of pants with Murong.

There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.

The Fu family and the Murong family had no grudges in the past, and they have no enmity in the present. The geographical relationship between the two sides does not pose a threat, and the possibility of alliance is extremely high. In addition, the benefits of the Kanto are so great, it is impossible not to be tempted.

"Great kindness! The Fu family is arrogant and underestimated me. Let them know the strength of our army!" Wei Shan slapped his thigh.

"Gao Yun, do you have a good plan for how our army should send troops?" Li Yue turned his gaze to Gao Yun.

Everyone present, no matter Cui Jin or Wei Shan, was slightly worse than him in terms of military strategy.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Gao Yun, and he looked a little embarrassed, "Subordinates think that Hanoi should be captured, and then troops in Heyang should be dispatched to deter the Di army."

As soon as the experts make a move, they will know whether there is one, even Wei Shan secretly nodded.

Heyang looks at Luozhong across the Yellow River, there is such a nail, and Fu Xiong has to weigh it in front of him.

"Although this strategy is good, it's a bit conservative." Li Yue pointed to the upper part of Hanoi County, "Shangdang is the west wall of Yecheng, and the backbone of the northern kingdom. It is condescending to look at the world, and it must not fall into the hands of outsiders!"
