Chapter 438 Controversy in Qianyang Palace
Chapter 437: Controversy in Qianyang Palace
After conquering the Southern Kingdom, Deng added two provinces and eight counties, and immediately needed two governors and ten prefects. Deng Sheng directly handed over the selection of officials to the officials and asked them to choose. In the end, it will be up to him to make the decision.

After a heated debate, the chief officials of the six ministries of the three provinces and Yushitai unanimously decided that Yang Shiqi, the prefect of Yuzhang, and Xun Yu, the prefect of Yingchuan, would be the governors of the two new governors. However, for the remaining ten prefects, all forces have their own considerations, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while. In the end, Bao Zheng, the doctor of Yushitai, came up with an idea to select for the whole country. This time, in addition to selecting the ten counties In addition to the prefect, it is also necessary to select the subordinate officials of each county and the county magistrates of each county. This is not a small matter, and it involves a lot. In the end, everyone could not make up their minds, so they reported the matter to Deng Sheng, and asked Deng Sheng to come decision.

When he first heard about this, Deng Sheng hesitated in his heart. The method proposed by Bao Zheng can be said to be the embryonic form of the imperial examination system in later generations. Although the imperial examination system has mixed reputation in later generations, its other Being able to serve as a selection system that lasted for thousands of years in the history of China has a lot of merits. At least, it is very suitable for the present.

Deng Sheng actually had the idea of ​​the imperial examination system a long time ago, but due to various considerations of the current situation, Deng Sheng finally shelved it. Now, after Deng Sheng has exchanged printing and papermaking from the system, Ordinary people, children from poor families have a lot more opportunities to get in touch with books. Among them, many people of insight have emerged. Although they cannot compete with the nobles for the time being, this is also a good start. The imperial examination system , it seems that it is time.

When Bao Zheng and the others proposed this method, their idea at the beginning was only to solve the current problem. They never thought of such a long-term solution, and the resistance to this matter was not small. They also had a lot of worries in their hearts. They were just worried that this matter would be opposed by the nobles, but now Deng Sheng actually wants to make this method a permanent practice, which is impossible.

Chen Qun, who was born in a family, was the first to jump out to object, saying: "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely impossible. The people are illiterate. Even if they have some talents, they still have limited knowledge. If they enter the court and place, I'm afraid they will die." It is not beautiful to harm the common people, I ask your majesty to think twice!"

It is true that the nobles are loyal to Deng Guo and Deng Sheng, but it does not mean that they are willing to dedicate their long-standing advantages of standing on top of all living beings for Deng Guo and Deng Sheng. Therefore, Chen Qun strongly opposes the implementation of the imperial examination system.

However, if someone objects, there will be support. Su Hong, who was born in a poor family, was the first to jump out and support: "Your Majesty, what Chen Shangshu said is wrong. Whether they are nobles or ordinary people, they are all my subjects. All people are treated equally, besides, there are also talents in the poor family who can stabilize the country. My great Deng wants to rule the world and unify the world. I should be inclusive of all rivers and pay attention to the talents of the world. Irrespective of the nobles and poor families, it is the right way to use them as they are!"

"Your Majesty, I think what Su Shangshu said is true. My Great Deng has always been a meritocracy. There is no distinction between nobles and poor families. In the court, there are both nobles and poor families. It is the long-term stability of the Great Deng, and the right way to create a foundation for thousands of years!" Bao Zheng, who proposed this idea, was happy to see the success of this matter. When he first proposed this method, he hoped that one day he could change the barrier between the nobles and the poor. Now that Deng Sheng proposed it on his own initiative, how could he object?

The two sides quarreled endlessly in Qianyang Palace. The solemn and solemn Qianyang Palace in the past suddenly turned into a vegetable market, noisy, and a group of high-ranking officials in the court on weekdays have also turned into a hot-mouthed fighter. You hate me, I hate you, it's so lively.

"Okay, stop arguing, we are all important ministers of one party, what's the point of being so noisy?" Finally, Deng Sheng couldn't see it anymore, and stopped the quarrel directly, and everyone became angry when they saw Deng Sheng , all stopped and pleaded guilty to Deng Sheng!

Deng Sheng also ignored them, but looked at Cui Hao, Jiang Wan, and Zhang Bin who had been silent all this time, and asked them, "Cui Qing, Jiang Qing, Zhang Qing, what do you think of this matter?"

Cui Hao, Jiang Wan, and Zhang Bin all had their own ideas. Jiang Wan was born in an aristocratic family. Of course, he didn’t want to see the days when the aristocrats dominated the world. What is more important is how to make Deng Guo always strong and stable, so he is very entangled in his heart, and Zhang Bin is also very supportive of the imperial examination system. Even Qin Zhao's poor students flocked to Deng Guo, so it was impossible for Deng Guo not to be strong.

And Cui Hao is also ambiguous. Cui Hao was born in a noble family, but his family was actually no different from that of a poor family at first. It is impossible for the family to get ahead, not to mention that today, Cui Hao can sit on the Zhongshu Ling, the head of the three prime ministers, so he does not reject the imperial examination system, but having said that, the Cui family is now after all. Having made a fortune, there are many children in the family who are waiting to become officials. Once the imperial examination system is started, it will be more difficult for the children of the Cui family to become officials. This is what Cui Hao does not want to see, so he does not advocate it. .

Facing Deng Sheng's questioning, Cui Hao stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the implementation of the imperial examination system is indeed conducive to the long-term development of my Deng Sheng, but I think it is not suitable for the present. Although there are papermaking and printing techniques, ordinary people The knowledge of the people has greatly increased, but after all, the time is short, the results have not yet reached the ideal, and the poor students are mixed, if they really enter the court as officials, I am afraid it will not be able to benefit the people, and the nobles have long dominated the officialdom. , I am afraid it will cause riots, and now that my father Deng is officially at a critical moment, there must be no disturbances!"

Cui Hao did not explicitly oppose the imperial examination system, because he knew that since Deng Sheng had this idea, it would only be a matter of time before he put it into action. What's more, the existence of the imperial examination system is indeed beneficial to Deng's talent pool , has an extraordinary impact on the future development of Deng Guo, but Cui Hao believes that although the cultural level of the people has improved, it has not yet reached expectations, and it is not appropriate to rashly implement the imperial examination system.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Deng Sheng fell into deep thought. This is what he has always been worried about. The other Deng Sheng is not worried. The only thing he is worried about is the opposition of the nobles. Weakened the strength of the nobility, but the nobility has stood for hundreds of years without falling, how can its background be solved overnight?Wancheng nobles, Yingchuan family, Jiangdong family, Jingnan family, etc., which one is easy to provoke?A little carelessness may cause turmoil.

For so many years, Deng Sheng can be said to have completely controlled the country of Deng. Although the imperial examination system is now implemented, it is likely to cause turmoil, but for Deng Sheng, who has hundreds of thousands of elites, this is only It's just ringworm and scabies. It's nothing serious. The only thing to worry about is that it may affect Deng's process of unifying the world.

Deng Sheng is over [-] years old this year. In this era when the average life expectancy is less than [-], it can be said that Deng Sheng has gone through most of his life. Although Deng Sheng's soul comes from later generations, he has taken great care of his own health over the years. He has always attached great importance to it, and has never experienced any major problems. However, when manpower is exhausted, Deng Sheng does not guarantee how long he can live. His greatest wish now is to live to see the unification of the world. All the problems caused by the imperial examination system This wish came to nothing, which is not what Deng Sheng wants to see.

Thinking of this, Deng Sheng, who had already made up his mind to implement the imperial examination system, began to waver again at this moment, and at this time, Su Hong stepped forward and said: "My lord, the implementation of the imperial examination system may have some impact on Deng, but in the end The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. What's more, the king is the most prestigious hero since the founding of our country. If the king can't implement the imperial examination system, how can the future king be able to do it? So I think that if you want to go smoothly The implementation of the imperial examination system is only allowed by the king!"
