The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 513 The pleasure of crushing ([-])

At the end of February 275 AD, the patriarchs or elders of various famous families in the eight prefectures of Kanto brought their "young talents" who had won the middle and above grades in the tasting of Jiupin Zhongzheng last year, feeling uneasy. One after another came to Chang'an.

Guan Zifeng of Dog Day!So cunning!How shameless!I've never seen such a despicable, baseless rotten person!

Originally, our Kanto family paid attention to elegance and hypocrisy.So in the past, every year in the Jiupin Zhongzheng, there would still be one or two places reserved for small wealthy families and ordinary landlords: We don’t know that our children’s health has been getting worse and worse over the years, and their ability to handle practical affairs is almost perish.Therefore, in the past, it was more or less necessary to reserve a few positions for the children of these low-level families-otherwise, who will do the specific affairs in the future?

But it was different last year. God knows how many more years the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng can last?So last year we ate all the spots...

result!result!This Guan Zifeng actually asked our children to come to Chang'an together and serve as Lang Guan in the court? !This is simply unreasonable!

However, it is unreasonable to say that, but there is really no place to reason.

For Guan Yi, I did the right thing!You taste the characters, and then our Han court gave them official positions.You said you are from upper middle school or something, I agree!I believe that you will be able to stand out quickly in the position of Lang Guan.When I appoint him to the next official position, the starting point must be very high.

But for the aristocratic family, if we refuse to send our children to be officials in Chang'an, doesn't that mean that what we tasted last year is all trash?Wouldn't that further prove that the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is undesirable?
And in addition to letting young people who were appraised and graded last year report to Chang'an.All the families whose members were judged as middle and above last year were also required to come to Chang'an for a gathering-this is simply to wipe out all the families with a little influence in the eight states of Kanto!
(Guan Yi: That's right, your Kanto families are so intertwined with each other that I don't bother to personally identify which ones have local strengths. No, didn't you recruit them all yourself?)

That's why everyone thinks that Guan Zifeng is insidious, cunning, despicable and shameless!It turns out that last year's concessions were all to dig holes for the old men!
But if you don't come, you can't do it.If you don't come, it proves that the recommended talent is actually rubbish.If you don't come, you are showing weakness in front of the whole world.No, uh, that business plan sounds very attractive...

Therefore, on the one hand, there is formal coercion, and on the other hand, the temptation of interests.In the end, the relevant aristocratic families in the eight states of Kanto came honestly.

Throughout the eight states of Kanto, more than 40 super families and more than 400 "young talents" came this time.It can be said that on the basis of history, apart from the Sima family, this group of aristocratic families is the biggest beneficiary of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system in the late Cao Wei and Western Jin Dynasties.

Among the more than 400 people in the team, Wang Rong, the new patriarch of the Langya Wang Clan, and Wang Yan, the only one who was appraised as "Shangshang" in this group of more than 400 scholars, were in the worst mood.

Wang Rong is 42 years old this year.As the last of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, this is a talkative master with a very high academic status in Kanto.When his father, Wang Hun, was killed in the Battle of Daluze, he was publicly elected as the new head of the Langya Royal Family.

On the one hand, his father died at the hands of the Han army. He ascended the throne in his prime, and still lacked a little city.On the one hand, after Guan Yi entered Luoyang, he took responsibility for Du Yu, Yang Hu, Wei Guan and others—these guys alone are nothing, even a man of humble origin like Ma Long can get a legion commander s position.This made Wang Rong very upset: he and Yang Hu were political enemies, and even Du Yu, Wei Guan, Ma Long and others who were friendly with Yang Hu couldn't get along with him.

So, with such a resentment.In addition, he really likes his cousin Wang Yan very much (on the basis of history, Sima Yan asked Wang Rong: Everyone agrees that Wang Yan is a good person, how good is he? Who can he compare with in the current world? Wang Rong is arrogant Coaxingly said: No one in the world is comparable, if you want to find someone to compare, you can only find it in ancient times. This actually means that Wang Yan is a sage in the world).Therefore, in last year's Xuzhou Jiupin, he actually asked Zhou Zhongzheng to give his cousin a top rating!
What is Shangshang?That is a saint or a potential saint!Brother, if you do this, do you really like this cousin or do you want to kill this cousin?

As for this Wang Yan, he is 19 years old this year and has not yet been crowned.Super handsome and eloquent.In addition, he is thick-skinned, very selfish and narcissistic... so he faces the praise of his cousin.He actually frantically accepted this "upper" evaluation.

Now, come retribution.Both brothers came to Chang'an to be watched by scholars from all over the country: that's right, it's like you go to the zoo to watch monkeys.

"Please pass it on. Yongzhou is late at the end of his studies, Jingzhao Zhangsheng, please see Mr. Wang Yifu (Wang Yan)."

"Please spread the word, Jingzhou is a late student, Huo Biao of Nanjun, please see Mr. Wang Yifu (Wang Yan)."

"Please pass on, Yizhou..."

When "Sage Wang" arrived in Chang'an and stayed in a luxurious inn opened by Mi's family.The young people from Ji Hanyi, Yongliang and Liangzhou began to flock to visit with an extremely playful attitude.

As the best among the first batch of graduates of Wuzhangyuan College, Zhang Sheng and Huo Biao both participated in the Jihan Eastern Expedition that started more than two years ago.One of the two led the cavalry, and the other followed his father to guard Jiexiu. From the beginning to the end, they performed extremely well on the battlefield.Both were appointed lieutenants after the war.As far as the official position is concerned, he is a well-deserved leader among the young people in their twenties in Chang'an City.

Therefore, in the face of these two people's request to see him, Wang Rong didn't dare to trust him, so he had to call out his cousin and give him an interview.

"Thank you, Yifu, for your visit. I have long heard of the Huatianbao in the Central Plains, and there are endless talented people. Savages like me, who live in a remote frontier, have been longing for it for a long time. How did I hear it today? Since the establishment of the Jiupin Zhongzheng System more than 50 years ago, the only "Shangshang" has come to Chang'an, which really makes people feel agitated. Seeing him today is really a life-long comfort."

"Where is it, the two brothers are too praised. The so-called superior is just the encouragement given by Da Zhongzheng's love. It can't be taken seriously..."

"Hey, Brother Yifu's words have a deep meaning. Do you mean that the Dazhong Zheng did not judge impartially, or that all the scholars in Xuzhou who were tasted this year should actually be downgraded by at least one grade?"

"Ah? That's not what my brother meant. What I meant was that Da Zhongzheng just wanted to encourage me."

"Hiss~, this is even more serious. I heard that besides Brother Yifu, Xuzhou has [-] high school students this year. Could it be that these [-] brothers are not even worthy of encouragement?"

you!Why are you two guys holding on to one of them for encouragement?This is not cheating me!Although our Kanto family has common interests, there are many struggles and intrigues among them.If I admit here that the eighteen high schools are all rubbish, will my Langya Wang family still hang around on the ground in Xuzhou?

"Uh, my dear friends, please don't misinterpret the younger brother's meaning like this. What the younger brother means is that this is just an expression of the elders' encouragement and support for the younger generation. It is an encouragement when it falls on Wang Yan, and it is also an encouragement when it falls on Li Yan and Zhou Yan. They are all the same, they all mean encouragement. In short, it can’t be taken seriously.”

"Oh ~ Brother Yifu also thinks that his talent is not enough to be judged by the superiors?"

This is a big problem: if you say that you are not good enough to be the top, then there is something wrong with Da Zhongzheng.Even Da Zhongzheng can't judge the characters fairly and objectively, so the reasonableness and legitimacy of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system is worth debating.Similarly, the probation system in the Han Dynasty, after being recommended by Xiaolian, must go to Chang'an or Luoyang for assessment, and the rules of serving as a Lang Guan for a year's internship have become much more scientific than the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

Wang Yan is not stupid, he quickly thought of the twists and turns, but at this moment he really doesn't know what to do!
