Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 436 Bao Zheng Offers Suggestion
Chapter 435: Bao Zheng Offers Suggestions
In the end, after taking advantage of the battle between the four major factions and successfully winning the position of governor for the Yingchuan family, Chen Qun reluctantly accepted the fact that Yu Yunwen from the Zhang family took over Yingchuan County. I understand that the four major factions have never underestimated the Yingchuan family. I had previously planned to take advantage of the four factions to fight to win more benefits for the Yingchuan family, but my wishful thinking failed. It is not cost-effective to be an assassin, but lose the dominance of the base camp of Yingchuan County. However, now that the four giants have reached an agreement, even if he is unwilling, he can only choose to accept it.

Yu Yunwen was transferred to be the prefect of Yingchuan County, but the prefect of Shangyong was vacated, and none of the ten prefects was missing, so there were still a lot of troubles.

"Everyone, do you have any thoughts on these ten prefect positions?" Su Hong asked everyone, these ten prefect positions are a piece of meat, and every faction hopes to take a bite, but now no one can take a bite. The reason why Cui Hao and Zhang Bin didn't speak was because of the ten prefect positions, their faction can only win one or two at most, and the rest probably will fall into the hands of the Jiang faction, so they special Be cautious, as for Jiang Wan, he knows that if he speaks, Cui Hao and Zhang Bin will definitely attack him, so he dare not speak casually.

Several giants remained silent, and the other younger brothers did not dare to speak casually. Immediately, the atmosphere was very silent. After a long time, Bao Zheng, who had no desires or desires, couldn't see it. He had an idea and said: "Since you are all uncertain for a while. Idea, then there is a way, maybe it will work!"

"What way? Bao Yushi might as well just say it straight!" Cui Hao asked quickly when he heard that Bao Zheng had a way. No one is willing to speak now. Jiang Wan is afraid of being bullied, and so are Cui Hao, Zhang Bin, and Su Hong. He didn't want to personally promote people from the Jiang family, so the atmosphere was very awkward for a while, but now Bao Zheng said that he has an idea, maybe this is a good way to break the deadlock.

Bao Zheng smiled and said: "Everyone, I, Da Deng, is outstanding and talented. Even if we are here, it is impossible to know all of them. It would be a bit rash to make a decision based on impressions alone!"

When everyone heard this, they also felt that Bao Zheng's words were reasonable. Deng Guo has a population of more than ten million, and there are countless outstanding people among them. Even if they are all top leaders in the court, it is impossible to have heard of all , so they all nodded, and asked Bao Zheng: "I don't know what Bao Yushi thinks?" Then he asked Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng said: "Everyone still remember that when the king first established the guard army system, he used to face the whole country to select talents, and the world's martial arts competition held a world competition. Suddenly, the top strongmen of my great Deng were like crucian carp crossing the river, and our army won a lot of good men. Cai, I think that we can follow the example of the king in the past when selecting generals in the army, face the whole country and select talents, what do you think?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions were different. It is good to select talents from across the country, but in this way, people from their factions or disciples will have to compete with talents from all over the country. For a long time, although Deng Guo believed in only It is the policy of the election, but most of the selection of officials are selected from the outstanding children of various families. Now they are suddenly facing the whole country. Children can still get positions, but some people who are not outstanding in ability may lose their names.

"What do you all think of Bao Yushi's idea?" As the leader of the three ministers, Cui Hao was the first to ask everyone after careful consideration. Bao Zheng's idea can be said to be unheard of. For a long time, none of the officials in the officialdom They were not born in the noble family. Although there are occasional people who rise from the army, they are only a very small number of people, and most of these very few people are promoted by the king himself. This kind of face-to-face like an exam has never happened before.

"Bao Yushi's idea is good, but no one has ever done such a thing since ancient times, and it faces the whole country. In addition to the aristocratic families from all over the country, some children from poor families can also participate in the selection. If there are children from poor families who suddenly emerge and occupy I am afraid that the major families in the country will be dissatisfied with this important position!" Hu Weiyong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said that once Bao Zheng's idea of ​​selecting officials for the whole country is implemented, it will definitely attract many children from poor families to come to participate. If there are so few children from poor families occupying several positions, those aristocratic families will probably have objections!
"So what if you have an opinion? Meritorious talent has always been the court's employment policy. This is what the king himself said back then. This selection method ensures fairness to a great extent. Besides, it's not like we don't want the aristocratic families to participate. , They are all people with profound family knowledge, if they are inferior to those from poor families, then they are incompetent, and no one else can blame them!" Hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Su Hong was the first to be unhappy.

Su Hong is not a native of Deng, he is from the state of Lu, that is, Lu County of Zhao State. At the beginning, Su Hong was born in a poor family. Back then, Su Hong was also full of ambitions, intending to do his part to make the state of Lu stand up among the nations. Yes, but because of his background, he was excluded by the nobles of the Lu Kingdom. Although he has outstanding abilities, he has not been reused, so that he left the Deng Kingdom. This is just a giant, otherwise Su Hong would have been wiped out by the crowd long ago, how could he still have the glory of today, so when Hu Weiyong said that such a selection method might cause dissatisfaction among the aristocratic family, Su Hong first Not happy anymore.

After Hu Weiyong was so hard-nosed by Su Hong, although he wanted to refute a few words, but seeing Su Hong's unhappy face, he immediately took back the words in his heart.

After beating Hu Weiyong, Su Hong said to the crowd again: "Everyone, we are all officials of Deng, ministers of the king, not vassals of the aristocratic family. What we think in our hearts is how to strengthen Deng and make Deng even stronger. Strong, as long as it is beneficial to Great Deng, we don't need to worry about the thoughts of the great family. To put it bluntly, as long as the king supports us, no matter how much the great family has opinions, it will not help. After all, they are impossible, and they do not have the ability and My Great Deng fought against hundreds of thousands of elites, so I think Bao Yushi's method is feasible!"

Jiang Wan thought about it, and also felt that this method was feasible, but this matter involved a lot, and if he was not careful, it would cause a lot of discussion in the court, so he must be very cautious, and this matter did not have Deng Sheng's nod for affirmation It won't work, so Jiang Wan said: "In this case, it is better to report this matter to the king, and ask the king to make a decision!"

Hearing Jiang Wan's words, everyone nodded their heads. This matter is a bit serious. If something really goes wrong, let alone a Shangshu, even Cui Hao and others can't stand it. Only Deng Sheng can handle it. With this confidence, after all, hundreds of thousands of Deng Jun's elite are in the hands of Deng Sheng. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how dissatisfied the aristocratic family has, they can only hold back.

In Qianyang Palace, Deng Sheng frowned after listening to Cui Hao and others' reports, and selected officials from all over the country. Isn't this the imperial examination system of later generations?Although what Bao Zheng said could not be compared with the perfect imperial examination system of later generations, it has already taken shape. The imperial examination system is an issue that Deng Sheng has been considering since he took the throne.

In later generations, the imperial examination system was first created in the Sui Dynasty, developed vigorously in the Tang Dynasty, and finally perfected during the Song Dynasty, becoming the only way for scholars to enter official positions, and was abolished in the late Qing Dynasty. The main system lasted for more than 1000 years.

When he first came to the throne, Deng Sheng thought about whether to implement the imperial examination system, but in the end Deng Sheng suppressed this idea. Why?That's because there is no such condition in this era. In this era, most of the books are in the hands of the nobles, and the poor have no chance to get married. Even if the imperial examination system is implemented, in the end it is only for the nobles. It's just a wedding dress, so Deng Sheng never moved out the imperial examination system.
