The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 74

"Brother Hui, how do big men select talents?" Cheng Bing didn't answer directly, but asked Shi Hui.

"The local county magistrate inspected and selected 'Xiaolian' for election, two people every year. Or the imperial court took the initiative to recruit famous scholars from the countryside, and directly entered the court as officials." Shihui still has some concepts about this.

"The so-called celebrities are mostly masters of Confucian classics; and the so-called filial piety is not filial piety and integrity, but a virtuous gentleman. The evaluation in the market is important, and how much I understand Confucianism is also the scope of investigation. Confucianism already includes the principles of life and governance. Philosophy, if through inspection, it is regarded as filial piety and honesty, basically has a certain concept of governance.

According to the selection rules of the big man, those who are selected as filial and honest are like officials in the dynasty, and they are actually assistants to officials.Being by his side is just the means to get in touch with and learn politics.Then according to the different talents and talents, they are distributed to various yamen or places as appropriate.

The understanding of Confucianism is only a stepping stone to becoming an official.And after becoming an official, how many political methods you can learn, and what ability you are good at, will determine your future direction.But basically, as long as you are not a nerd, you can always get started quickly after serving as an official in the imperial court for a year, and then devolving to a local county to serve as a county magistrate or even a county magistrate.

Speaking of which, does Brother Hui understand? " Cheng Bing looked at Shi Hui and asked slowly.

"Shi Hui understands!" Shi Hui cupped his fists and saluted deeply.

The so-called Confucianism is the examination materials for the civil service examination. If you pass the examination, you will be allowed to be an official.Thinking about it carefully, in fact, when later generations entered the era of imperial examinations, the content of the examinations was also the Four Books and Five Classics, but in fact almost all of them were Confucian classics.

If I want to say why, I can only talk about the ideas of various schools. One is too professional and it is difficult to understand by analogy; the other is that they are not liked by the king.On the contrary, Confucianism covers a wide range, but it is rarely very political.After passing the assessment, as far as the big man is concerned, he will serve as a Langguan, while for later generations, he will enter the Imperial Academy as an editor. In fact, they all have the same meaning.

Knowing that simply studying Confucianism will not benefit the subsequent governance, so he conducted a second internship education.In the end, they are allocated according to their respective talents.It is precisely because of the demarcated assessment scope that students will not be forced to study all theories, and the pressure of learning is also reduced a lot.

After all, everyone knows that the literacy rate is already very low these days, and poor scholars hardly have access to the theories of various schools, let alone study the theories of various schools in depth.Even those small and medium-sized aristocratic families cannot guarantee that they can collect the classics of all schools. If they test everything, let alone drive the students crazy, the only ones who can enter the court in the future will be the children of the powerful.

The key point is that if only Confucianism is assessed in the selection of materials, then Confucianism will become the first doctrine of the Han Dynasty, and local students will focus on learning Confucianism, and at the same time promote Confucianism.The improved version of Confucianism will be promoted, and the concept of filial piety and honesty will be added, so local students must restrain themselves with moral gentlemen. With them taking the lead, the common people below will follow suit. This will greatly improve the folk customs of the great Han. Great significance, the key Confucianism advocates the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, the interaction between heaven and man, can further consolidate the authority of the emperor.

In fact, this is the true meaning of the emperor's family's promotion of Confucianism.As for the 'people can, let it go.No, don't show your IQ when you read sentences like 'to know'.At first glance, it looks like someone with an unstable political stance. Didn’t you see that the Duanmu School has disappeared from the crowd long ago, and has almost disappeared?

"Also ask Master Cheng to teach me Confucianism!" Shi Hui solemnly begged.

"Well, a child can be taught! In that case, Cheng will accept you as a disciple!" Cheng Bing nodded and accepted Shi Hui's apprenticeship.It's just that apprenticeship is a very serious matter, and now it's just a verbal appointment, and the follow-up ceremony will still be carried out.

Among other things, since Cheng Bing wants to accept apprentices, he must write letters to his fellow apprentices and good friends, telling them that he wants to accept apprentices.It can also be regarded as a kind of propaganda, letting the world know that Shi Hui is Zheng Xuan's reincarnated disciple.

If friends from the same school or good friends can come to watch the ceremony, they will naturally push out the badges and let them take the school test. If they are satisfied, they will naturally go back to help sell them.If Shi Hui can achieve something, it will benefit them to some extent.

It was originally a matter of mutual benefit, even in this era, there is no shortage of mutual praise among celebrities.

When Shi Xie also received the news later, he was immediately relieved. He could recommend Shi Hui to Cheng Bing, but if Cheng Bing didn't accept it, then he couldn't help it.The more famous a person is, the more he cherishes his feathers, and he will not accept apprentices easily, lest the good and the bad will be mixed, and his reputation will be damaged.

After the matter was settled, Shi Xie directly took over the job of delivering the letter.But the specific invitation letter was naturally written by Cheng Bing himself.It took a day for this and wrote more than 50 letters, covering the north and south of the Yangtze River, Guanzhong and even the land of Bashu.

The more Cheng Bing wrote, the happier Shi Xie was. One more person who knew about it meant that Shi Hui's reputation would spread more widely.The cost of sending letters is really nothing compared to this.

Taking into account the time for others to reply to letters and even set off, Cheng Bingxuan held a teacher apprenticeship ceremony three months later.At the same time, he also intends to teach the priest some Confucian classics during this period, so as not to be ashamed if he can't answer the school when others take the exam.

So, the family was in full swing for the wedding, but Shi Hui practiced martial arts during the day, and went to Cheng Bing's mansion in the evening to study Confucian classics for two hours. Fortunately, he had already dabbled in some things, and Cheng Bing taught them quickly.It's rare to be able to draw inferences from one instance, which surprised Cheng Bing.

A good student is the most gratifying thing for the teacher, so he taught him more patiently, studying for five hours every night before going home, and only thinking about falling asleep when he returned to the room.

There are still five days left before the big wedding day. On this day, Shihui is still studying Confucian classics with Cheng Bing. "The Analects" was completed early, so he started to study "University". According to Cheng Bing, "Mencius" is to understand Just one click.

Although "Mencius" is an important supplement to Confucianism, it is not liked by the king after all. Just look at Zhu Yuanzhang's removal of Mencius from the Confucian Temple, which can be seen.

"Master...Miss Cai and Miss Shangguan have arrived and are resting in the residence!" After returning home, a servant came up to greet him, took the reins from his hand, and reported to him.

"Oh? They're already here?" Shi Hui couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, but it was reasonable to calculate the time carefully, and he could only feel that time passed so quickly.

"Long time no see!" When he came to the backyard, Shi Hui saw her in the garden from a distance, so he came forward to say hello.Cai Yan arranged to live in the guest room for the time being. After all, she is not married, so it is not easy to share the same room.

"Hey, it's only five days, how long did it take?" Cai Yan couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling when he heard that.

"One day is like three autumns, five days is a long time!" Shi Hui joked, but Cai Yan couldn't help but blush.

"I haven't gotten married yet, but I've already started flirting. If we get married, Huilang will probably forget about Wan'er." Shangguan Wan'er was also in the garden, but Shi Hui didn't see her when he seemed to be picking flowers.At this moment, it is walking slowly, full of vinegar.

"Haha!" Shi Hui pulled her into his arms, "It's the same for you!"

"Don't be like this..." Shangguan Wan'er was thin-skinned after all, twisted her body, broke away from Shi Hui's embrace, and hid behind Cai Yan.

"You will never be able to escape my palm in your life." Shi Hui suddenly hugged the two girls in his arms, and said softly.

　It must be admitted that the establishment of the status of Confucianism has indeed provided systematic assessment subjects for the selection of talents.Later, with the emergence of the eight-part essay, the scope of the imperial examination was also limited.The civil service examination has been gradually improved from generation to generation. This political significance is more important than the Confucian theoretical significance.Otherwise, if a hundred schools of thought really contend, then how to select materials for the scientific examination is a problem in itself...
