The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 171: The Rule of Heavenly Prison
On the canopy,
The sky is bright.

Jiankang Palace,
Green smoke floated from the burnt out candlestick.

But the figure who was reviewing the memorial had no idea that the light had appeared outside.

The diligent figure gets up at five o'clock every day holding a candle.

Then he sat in the palace and approved official documents.

There are scorching summers and harsh winters, and the four seasons change.

What remains unchanged is the figure.

Even if his hands were so cold that they were cracked with blood, he didn't care and still approved official documents and memorials.

……

[After Emperor Wu of Liang became emperor, his political achievements were very remarkable. 】

[In 502 AD, he first ordered to "reduce the amount of extravagant expenses" and "dedicate it to the central government of the Imperial Palace to save what is appropriate", and then ordered the "sixty-two kinds of extravagant and extravagant clothes" of the Marquis of Donghun to be publicly burned]

[He also learned the lesson from the fall of the Southern Qi Dynasty. He was diligent in government affairs, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. He always got up at five o'clock in the morning to correct memorials. In winter, because he was reluctant to burn charcoal, his hands were frozen and cracked, which did not delay his diligence. 】

[And the degree of frugality in life is also extremely rare among ancient emperors. "One crown lasts three years, one quilt lasts two years."]

[The clothes are not gorgeous silk, but ordinary linen worn by the people. 】

[All the utensils in the palace are kept simple, there are no luxurious palaces, and the concubines are all dressed simply. In order to save fabric, they do not wear floor-length skirts. 】

[I only eat one meal a day. The food I eat is simple and light. It is all vegetables and no fish. 】

……

Emperor Hanguang
Looking at the diligent and thrifty figure in the sky, a sentence suddenly appeared in Liu Xiu's mind.

"Thriftier than Chinese, as diligent as Wang Mang."

……

Yanhan·Shun Emperor period
Liu Zhaoyou felt a little ashamed.

I was originally proud of my hard work in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect that Emperor Wu of Liang could be so frugal.

I wear a hat for three years and a quilt for two years, and the clothes I wear are shabby and shabby.

Liu Zhao couldn't help but look at his clothes. They were all made of top-quality silk and satin, and they would be taken off and thrown away after wearing them twice.

"No, from today on, frugality will be the main thing in the palace!"

"As for one meal a day, forget it."

"Strange, one meal a day is too harmful to the body."

"He is still so diligent, why does Tianmu still say that he will live a long time?"

Liu Zhao was a little confused.

He died early!
……

Eastern Wei,

Under the Jade City,

Gao Huan, who was riding on his horse, glanced at the sky and sighed:
"Jiangdong Wu Weng specializes in clothing, etiquette, and music."

"As expected of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Central Plains, they thought it was Zhengshuo's place."

At this time, a soldier ran over, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and reported:
"Prime Minister! We have arrived twenty miles away from Yubi City!"

Gao Huan came back to his senses and asked:
"Who are the defenders of the city?"

"The King of Banners is the king of servants who thinks about politics."

After thinking for a moment, he said loudly:
"Get pen and ink!"

……

[In 503 A.D., Wang Liang, the minister, Wang Ying, the minister, Shen Yue, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Fan Yun, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, consulted and concluded, and compiled the "Liang Code"]

[Send envoys to inspect various counties, monitor local officials, and promote honest officials. 】

[In 504 AD, it was ordered to "expand a good area, public and private acres, and make the best use of the land. If you want to join agriculture and there is a shortage of good seeds, you will also be loaned out." 】

[For farmers who have been exiled to other places, they are allowed to return to their hometowns and restore their original fields and houses. 】

[In terms of taxes, rent reductions and adjustments or "three adjustments" have also been made many times. 】

[In 505 AD, in order to select talents and ensure fairness, Emperor Wu of Liang abandoned the zhongzheng system that had existed since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and set up state officials, county clans, and local magnates throughout the country to be responsible for discovering and recruiting talents and recommending them to the court in a timely manner. . 】

[At the same time, a doctor of the Five Classics was established, and a Five Classics Hall was established to recruit disciples from poor families to "modify Chinese studies and increase the number of students." 】

[And issued an edict: "If there are those who can understand the beginning and end of a lesson without getting tired, after the strategy is implemented, the officials can be selected and narrated. Even if they resume the cattle and supervise the sheep, they will be in the back door, and they will test the officials accordingly, so that there will be no gaps." 】

[The hierarchy of civil and military officials was re-established, and the official level was set as nine grades. Later, it was changed to eighteen grades, and official positions were added to absorb and arrange various talents from noble families and poor families. 】

...During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che stroked his beard thoughtfully.

The key here is not that the Doctor of the Five Classics, but that he has completely abandoned his family background.

Looking at the edict, Liu Che immediately grasped the core of the content.

Regardless of one's origin, as long as he is proficient in a Confucian classic and is tireless in studying it, he can be appointed as an official after proven strategies.

Even cattle herders, sheep traders, and untouchables from poor families can be tried as officials according to their talents.

As long as you have talent, there is no distinction between high and low!
This system is okay.

There was a twinkle in his eye!
Good system, bring it!
……

Eastern Jin Dynasty and Emperor Ming Dynasty
Sima Shao, who was recording various systems, was suddenly startled.

Will the Zhongzheng system be abolished?

Is it that easy?
Will those sects agree?
Sima Shao looked at the sky and found a blind spot.

"Become an official through the classics?"

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"The promotion of officials and the selection of talents have always been related to the stability of the government."

The big man with a golden sword sat on the stone pier. Zhu Di held a gold-rimmed jade cup and blew the hot air in the tea cup. He took a sip and said calmly to Zhu Zhanji:

"Do you know why the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System appears?"

Zhu Zhanji, who was standing on the side, said respectfully:

"Grandpa, my grandson knows."

"The biggest reason why the nine-level Zhongzheng system was implemented was the failure of the inspection and examination system in the late Han Dynasty."

"Emperor Wu of Wei had the ambition to dominate the world and was thirsty for talents, but the corrupt imperial examination system could not meet his needs."

"Under these conditions, Emperor Wu of Wei issued the "Order of Seeking Talents" to find talents who could stabilize the world for him."

"But at that time, the gentry had great influence, and the meritocracy order undoubtedly harmed the interests of the gentry, so the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, which took into account both family status and talent, came into being."

Zhu Di put down the jade cup and glanced at Zhu Zhanji.

"Okay, I'm good at literature and history."

"In the Cao Wei and early Western Jin Dynasty, the nine-level Zhongzheng system was mainly based on career status, supplemented by family background, and paid more attention to the talents of scholars."

"And through the establishment of Zhongzheng officials, the power of selecting officials, which has always been in the hands of aristocratic families, can be returned to the imperial court and the imperial power can be strengthened."

"It can be said that it was a very practical and good system at the time."

"But the core of the nine-level Zhongzheng system lies in Zhongzheng, and Zhongzheng's choice is gradually controlled by aristocratic families."

"By the time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a tendency to determine products regardless of talent, only family status."

Zhu Di looked at the sky and said with an inexplicable expression:
"The descendants of officials will always be officials, the descendants of farmers will always be farmers, and the sons of craftsmen will continue to be craftsmen for generations to come."

"No matter how talented you are, you can only be a talented farmer, a talented carver, or a talented weaver."

"Even if you work hard for ten years, you won't have the chance to sit down and drink tea with children from a well-established family."

Zhu Zhanji listened quietly.

Zhu Di separated himself from his emotions and praised instead:

"But this phenomenon changed drastically during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang."

"With the popularization of Emperor Wu of Liang's system of valuing talent over family status, coupled with the Hou Jing Rebellion in the later period, the southern gentry suffered great damage."

"When the Sui Dynasty was unified again, the two forces of the poor family and the high family were gradually merging and becoming equal, and there was no longer a natural gap between them."

"Of course, many high-ranking families still insisted on their arrogance until the early Tang Dynasty, but the situation at this time was not even at the end of the war."

"After the Tang Dynasty, words such as gentry, poor family, big family name, and family status all became a passing thing."

"Emperor Wu of Liang made contributions in this regard. His thinking and vision have already surpassed most of his contemporaries."

"Although I still can't defeat those aristocratic families, I can still be called a wise master."

Zhu Di stroked his white beard:
"It's just the same problem as Tang Xuanzong."

"Too long to live."

……

[Because Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty worked hard to govern during the Tianjian period when he came to the throne, and the country prospered, it was called the "Tianjian rule" in history. 】

　He only eats one meal a day and does not pay attention to the balanced nutrition of food, but he lives a healthy and healthy old age.

　　Xiao Yan also created a miracle.
