  Liu Qi looked at this system and said excitedly to Liu Heng:

"Father! This system is great!"

Liu Heng nodded:
  "That's good...but it won't be used for the time being."

Liu Qi didn't know why.

"Why can't it be used?"

"Because your son invented the imperial examination system."

"..."

"Don't get dizzy by looking at the sky, we are still busy with things to do."

"..."

"But we can write it down first. After the records are complete, we can issue the decree clearly at once. But first, what is that piece of paper?"

……

Big man,

Liu Che looked at the words "self-proclaimed emperor" and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

How dare you, a little barbarian, claim to be emperor!
  Liu Hu didn't think about how to deal with him, but he was still having fun!
  You are in vain to be the emperor!

[In April of the same year, Liang Shang, the father of Empress Liang, was made a general. 】

[Liang Shang believed that he held the position of general because he was a relative, so he was humble and gentle, and he humbly recommended talents. 】

[At that time, everyone praised him as a "virtuous assistant". 】

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
  Liu Qi looked at the sky in astonishment.

"It's unbelievable. A father and son are so different?"

Liu Heng and Dou Yifang couldn't help but look sideways.

Both of them nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, the gap is too big!"

Liu Qi heard something strange. He tilted his head and saw Liu Heng and Liu Heng looking at him sideways.

Suddenly he became angry and said:

"Father! Mom!"

……

[In the autumn of 137 AD, Dunhuang prefect Pei Cen led men to attack the Xiongnu and killed King Huyan, the important leader of the Xiongnu.

Your Highness, the eight ministers obeyed the orders of the leader.

Continue playing on the marquee

A middle-aged official wearing a Jinxian crown read impassionedly in the Zhangde Hall:

"The generals Liang Ji and Henan Yin Liang are not doubtful. They are noble relatives, receive favors, and occupy the position of prime minister. However, they are greedy, wanton and unbridled, without restraint."

"My lord, I respectfully record fifteen things about the king who has no king in his eyes. These are all things that my ministers would hate to hear."

As soon as the words fell, the whole court was frightened!

Liu Bao, who was sitting at the top, also looked troubled.

……

[After the eight envoys were ordered to set off, the censor Zhang Gang buried Liang Ji's wheel in Duting, Luoyang, and said angrily: "The jackals are in power, so ask the fox!" '"]

[So he returned to the court and impeached Liang Ji for being corrupt and violating the law, and the capital was shaken. 】

[Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty knew that Zhang Gang's remarks were fair, but at that time Queen Liang Yu loved Fang Sheng, so Liu Bao did not adopt his suggestions. 】

[Wait until the eight envoys arrived in various states and counties, and impeached many local officials who had colluded with Liang Ji, when they called each other for help. Liu Baocai adopted the suggestion of Wu Xiong, Li Gu and others that "the eight envoys should punish those who were corrected immediately" and dismissed all the officials impeached by the eight envoys and investigated them, so "the court praised them for their good deeds". 】

[With Li Gu's advice, an edict was issued asking all states across the country to report incompetent local officials. Officials who were "perverse in government and unkind to others" were removed from all posts. Officials who commit crimes are immediately arrested and imprisoned. 】

[But at this time, Zhang Gang had been transferred to Wuling by Liang Ji and died in office. 】

Western Jin Dynasty·Era of Emperor Wu
  Sima Yan looked at the sky and said regretfully:
  "Since ancient times, there have been monarchs who were deposed by You Fang and ascended to the throne of Zuo."

"They all do not forget the hardships outside the palace, examine the falsehood of their emotions, and regroup, so they can revive their careers and become the masters of the revival."

"However, looking at the government of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, we still see the shortcomings of the previous dynasty."

"Stop with the wise king."

……

Tang Dynasty·Tai Chi Hall·East Palace

Li Shimin was leaning on the soft couch, while the two palace ladies behind him gently shook their feather fans.

"Cheng Qian, do you think who is in the dark and who is in the dark between Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

Prince Li Chengqian, who was sitting opposite Li Shimin, was lowering his head and thinking while facing the examination.

On the other side, Xiao Li Zhi, who was playing Yanji board, suddenly said:

"Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty could not select and appoint talents according to their talents, and entrusted national affairs to his uncle's family, which can be described as dim."

"But even so, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty still knew that Wang Li had no talent, so he abandoned him and made his younger brother Wang Gen the chief minister."

"Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty handed over the power of the country to a relative of the Liang family. Although he knew that Liang Ji was stubborn, disloyal, and cruel, he still allowed him to succeed Liang Shang. In the end, he caused rebellion and overthrew the Han Dynasty. Compared with Emperor Cheng, he was even more powerful. It’s dark.”

Li Shimin on the side looked at Xiao Lizhi with an incomprehensible expression.

Then he touched his head and said to the surprised Li Chengqian:

"The emperor is the body of the heaven and the earth, so he sets up officials and assigns duties, assigns responsibilities, is lenient to win over others, and conceals diseases. This is how the emperor succeeds."

"Remember, the emperor appoints talents based on his talents, not his relatives."

……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
  clang!
  Zhu Houcong, who was dressed in Taoist uniform, struck the copper plate with the golden hammer in his hand.

The clear sound of the chimes is like a clear spring flowing in the Renshou Palace.

"Since ancient times, people who have lamented that the world cannot be governed by great powers all say that the reason is that there is a king but no ministers."

"But if there is indeed an extraordinary king, would we still worry about not having virtuous ministers?"

A low and majestic voice echoed in the palace.

"The so-called king means that the king's talents are above average, and his ministers can achieve great things together with him."

"Vulgar and shallow ministers can neither assist the king to display his talents nor stop him from doing evil. Emperor Shun is a typical example."

Zhu Zaiye, wearing a red dragon robe, stood nearby and listened.

"After Emperor Shun was deposed as the crown prince, he lived under the west bell of Deyang Palace. He was able to save his life by being submissive and obedient, and did not incur the jealousy of the traitorous ministers. This shows that he was wise."

"After Emperor An passed away, he was prevented from going to the palace to attend the funeral in person. He cried in grief and refused to drink or eat. This shows that he was benevolent and righteous."

"Sun Cheng and other eunuchs rescued him from danger and made him ascend to the throne of emperor. Once they came to the palace to compete for merit, they were dismissed from office and were not allowed to control the country's affairs. Isn't it undecision?"

"If he listened to Yu Xu's advice and expelled Zhang Fang, listened to Li Gu's advice and allowed the wet nurse to live outside the palace, and adopted Zuo Xiong's strategy to make the officials rule Qingming, it cannot be said that he was not wise.

"Using public transportation to recruit celebrities one after another, open imperial schools, expand school buildings, and know the affairs."

"Most of the emperors in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty were not wise emperors, but Emperor Shun had some resurgence."

"Although he was ushered in by eunuchs, he restricted the eunuchs and attacked his relatives, which could almost be called the resurgence of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"However, a moment of clear observation is ultimately defeated by the deception of a small group. Although there are direct ministers, there is little recovery."

……

[In April 144 AD, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty made two-year-old Liu Bing the crown prince. 】

[In September 144 AD, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty Liu Bao died in the front hall of Yutang at the age of thirty. 】

[The imperial edict does not establish a temple for burial, and only the old court clothes that have been worn should be buried with them, and the treasures and jade objects in the palace are not allowed to be buried with them. 】

[Buried in Xianling Mausoleum, with the temple name Jingzong and the posthumous title Filial Emperor. 】

{If you want to say that Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty was unpopular, he is mentioned in the official history. If you want to say that he was not unpopular, very few modern people know about him. }
  {Once again, I lament that the political genes of the old Liu family are really strong, but the life span of the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was too miserable. }
  {Emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were all of good quality, needless to say Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Ming. Emperor Zhang is a little weaker but can still be regarded as a wise king. Needless to say Emperor He, Yongyuan Zhilong is the pinnacle of the Eastern Han Dynasty's national power. Empress Dowager Deng who is behind Emperor He can also do the same. Liu Bao belongs to the front and back, and his merits and demerits are balanced. The Lord of ZTE is also included. }
  {So, Emperor Andi of the Han Dynasty lowered the quality level of the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty (dog head)}

{Han Shun Emperor Liu Bao was much stronger than his father and was considered the master of Chinese materials. However, his biggest mistake was that he did not establish a new order but continued to appoint relatives and eunuchs. Especially in the later period of his reign, he promoted the influence of relatives led by Liang Yu. It laid hidden dangers for Liang's relatives who had been in power for more than 20 years. }
  {"Shun" is a superior posthumous title. Kindness and universal obedience are called Shun; kindness and kindness to the people are called Shun; softness, kindness and kindness are called Shun; harmony and rationality are called Shun; virtue and the emperor are called Shun; virtues of being tolerant and gentle are called Shun. ; Shu Shen's body is called Shun; being able to control the general and the king's beauty is called Shun; being kind and considerate to the people is called Shun; liking and disliking justice is called Shun; being virtuous and harmonious is called Shun. }
  {When you are young, it is absolutely unusual not to have power left to others. }
  {Liu Baofang today=five stripes among primary school students}

{Ninety-nine point nine percent of people may not be able to do it at the age of thirty. }
