Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 550 Liaodong Imperial Examination
Among the four friends of Zhuge, a pair of good friends from a poor family fell a big somersault with the wheel thrown by history, and were thrown heavily to Liaodong, and people are really profit-seeking animals. Because of Shi Tao's choice, Xu Shi was originally strong. The friendship is also like Wang Hou and Guo Jia before, a rift has been broken.

Wangping County is an important county in the northwest of Xuantu County. The county magistrate there followed Gongsun Kang to flee eastward and left with the crown. Not far to the north is the Horqin Grassland of later generations. Even if they retreated to this vicinity, Wangping County has become Wang Hou's important border area, so after Shi Tao arrived for a few days, he selected a group of staff for him, and Wang Hou hurriedly sent him to take up his post.

And Xu Shu is really down-to-earth, starting with Wang Hou as an aide.

However, the aides were both small and small, and belonged to no rank. The private subordinates of the general's shogunate were big enough. After all, they were the trusted literati around Wang Hou, and the aides were the group of people who could most influence the political direction of the general's shogunate.

He stayed in Xiangping, and he really quickly caught up with a major event in Liaodong.

The brush made of wool was dipped in the paste, and it was smeared vigorously on the wooden bulletin boards at the gates of the huge Xiangping City, southeast, northwest, and then there was a bang, and a large yellow form was written densely and stamped with the seal of General Zhenbei. The paper was pasted on it by several female soldiers who have become a unique landscape in Liaodong. Whether it is a heroic female soldier in leather armor or a new government order issued by Grandpa Wang, it is undoubtedly very attractive. Yes, this end just finished posting, and the other end suddenly slumped from the war at an unbelievable speed, and businessmen from south to north surrounded them thickly.

"In February of the [-]th year of Jian'an, he opened a course to recruit scholars. Regardless of his background, regardless of his native place, anyone with education can participate! Once entered, he will be appointed as an official!"

"What? You can be an official if you pass the exam?"

Listening to the nonchalant scholars at the front reading, the melon-eating crowd, who had been staring at the female soldiers, suddenly boiled up.

In ancient times, words such as imperial examination, number one scholar, second place in the list, Tanhua, and Jinshi were familiar to people, and they were closely related to the history of China. However, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the imperial examinations had not yet been heard, and it was a rarity to be able to become an official after taking an examination. thing.

Especially in this era where the gentry's ancestry system is based, and everyone fights for their fathers and backgrounds, it is like a thunderclap in the dark night, such a maverick is extraordinary.

Never had it before!

In just one day, the topic of examination and selection of officials has rapidly warmed up in Xiangping City. From the big families in Xiangping to the small ones walking birds and drinking tea in the taverns and teahouses at the gate of the city, they are all talking about it enthusiastically and excitedly. It's as if I can become an official just by turning around.

…………

Of course, no policy in this era can escape the political purpose. The later generation Wang Hou did not get into the civil service. He encountered the same problem that both Cao Pi and Liu Bei encountered during the Three Kingdoms period, the suppression of factions!
Throughout the late Shu-Han period, after Zhuge Liang’s death, there were no more exciting chapters, because the three talents under Liu Bei’s command, the Jingzhou faction, the Dongzhou veteran faction, and the local Bashu faction fought hard, and several prime ministers were involved with each other. So much so that Jiang Wei, Zhuge Liang's apprentice, had fewer than [-] troops every time he went to the Northern Expedition.

The struggle among factions within Cao Wei became even more intense. The fall of Cao's imperial power actually stemmed from the failure of the great general Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, the representative of the gentry.

Wu State did not have any internal factional struggles, because the great emperor Sun Quan used the prince case to kill people in his later years, and almost wiped out all the big men who could talk in Wu County, just like Lu Xun, the crocodile who burned Yiling in the late Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Sun Quan forced him to commit suicide.

In this way, there is indeed no factional infighting, but it also brings about the withering of talents. After Sun Quan's death, the prime minister Zhuge Ke led 20 Wu troops to attack Wei in a mighty way. Obstacles, unable to attack for a long time, ended in the Chibi War with President Cao, the epidemic in the army was prevalent, and Jiangdong had to be returned in a hurry, which then triggered a new round of political earthquakes in Soochow.

Now Wang Hou has basically conquered the entire territory of the Liaodong Han people, but from now on, he will also face the challenge of fighting between factions, between the Qingzhou Veteran faction who followed him, and the Liaodong indigenous faction in the conquered area new-soil contradictions.

If it is not handled well, the Shu Han that has not yet been established is really a bloody example! The picture presented by Zhang Song in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" clearly shows this contradiction!
Liu Zhang himself was an outsider. He was able to secure his position in Bashu because of the Dongzhou Group and Dongzhou soldiers from the Central Plains who conquered and oppressed the local scholars and Tu people in Bashu.

Perhaps it has something to do with the geographical environment in which they live. Bashu people are too exclusive in this era!Official positions and rights are all monopolized by the Dongzhou faction. As a native of Shu, Zhang Song was naturally unconvinced. He first took a map to Xudu to meet Cao Cao. Maybe this is the stronghold of the Dongzhou faction, and there are many wealthy families. He liked it, so Zhang Song took the map and strategy to find Liu Bei, who was weak and weak, trying to lure him into Shu to replace Liu Zhang, and then give the Bashu gentry a chance to be promoted.

When Liu Bei was in power, even when Zhuge Liang was in power, the relationship between the three major factions in Dongzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou was considered harmonious, so there was a grand scene of Zhuge Liang's southern and northern expeditions, but after Zhuge Liang's death, the three major factions were again The conflict became acute, and the two outside factions in Dongzhou, Jingzhou joined forces to overwhelm the local Yizhou faction.

So more than [-] years ago, the Bashu natives were able to respectfully welcome Liu Bei into Sichuan. Thirty years later, the Bashu natives were also able to lead the way. So Sima Zhao sent troops to Bashu in August and launched a full-scale attack on the Shu Han. He did not even resist for half a year. In just three months, at the beginning of November, the later master Liu Chan had to surrender to the Wei army because Deng Ai was approaching the city.

The Shu Han regime hoped by Liu Bei to revive the Han Dynasty, thus perish!

Now Wang Hou is also a troika, and the strongest Qingzhou faction under his command, regardless of the Rizhao faction, the Daocheng faction, the Langya faction, and the Taishan faction, can generally be attributed to this.

The second largest faction is Zhang Yan's Montenegro faction.

And now he is facing the most populous local faction in Liaodong under Gongsun Yan's command. If he doesn't handle the opposition of these three factions well, he will sooner or later be like the company of Liu Bei and Liu Chan and his son, and go bankrupt!

So Wang Hou was so worried that he scratched his head and scratched his head, and finally slapped his thigh to bring out the imperial examination system!
The biggest battle among these factions is the official position. One party gains power and dominates the officialdom, and the other party can never get a half-official position again!It's strange to feel comfortable in the side of the ruled for a long time!
But the imperial examination to get an official!Regardless of whether you are the Liaodong School, the Qingzhou School, the Heishan School, or the Jizhou School, the Yingchuan School in the future, if you have knowledge, you will be an official, and if you are not talented, you will stare blankly. This is fair and reasonable!
Although it is impossible to achieve complete fairness in the imperial examinations, the situation of factions fighting to the point of red eyes as in the later period of Bashu can basically be eliminated.

However, the appearance of this new thing will always cause all kinds of gossip. The implementation situation in Liaodong is not known yet. In the general's mansion, there was a discussion with grinning teeth.

"Absolutely not!"
