Chapter 439 Deng Guo’s Imperial Examination System

Chapter 438: Deng Guo's Imperial Examination System

In Qianyang Palace, Deng Sheng first proposed to make the method of selecting officials from across the country permanent, and named it the imperial examination system. However, the officials had different opinions on the implementation of the imperial examination system. Some opposed it, while others supported it. When faced with the implementation of the imperial examination system that might affect Deng's plan to unify the world, Deng Sheng wavered!
Just when Deng Sheng was about to give up this idea, Su Hong's words moved Deng Sheng again. What Su Hong said meant that Deng Sheng was the most prestigious and powerful king in the history of the Deng Kingdom. If even Deng Sheng didn't have the courage to implement the imperial examination system, which king in the future would have such courage?In the end, Su Hong directly stated that Deng Sheng must implement the imperial examination system!

Seeing that Deng Sheng was a little moved, Su Hong, who had always supported the implementation of the imperial examination system, showed a smile on his face, and said while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, the implementation of the imperial examination system can be said to be a major event with merits in the present age and benefits in the future. I don’t know whether the implementation of the imperial examination system will be smooth or successful, but I know one thing. If we don’t even have the courage to try, we will never be able to do it. How can we set an example for future generations? ? It doesn’t matter if we fail, as long as we try, the descendants will have something to learn from, and they won’t make the mistakes we made before!”

Yes, how do you know if you don’t try it?Deng Guo has risen from a weak country to the most powerful country in the world today. What he lacks most is the spirit of adventure. In the face of difficulties, he will stop or even retreat. This is not the style of Deng Guo, let alone Deng Sheng's style, so Deng Sheng took a deep breath He took a breath, nodded, and said: "Su Qing is right. If we don't even have the courage to try, what qualifications do we have to ask future generations? Since someone has to take this first step, let the widow Come on, if those aristocrats have objections, let them come and tell the widow, if they can't accept it, or even resist, hum! The hundreds of thousands of widows' army are not vegetarians, so this matter is settled, the imperial examination The system must be implemented, we cannot push all the things that we dare not do to our children and grandchildren, one generation must do the work of one generation, and what we have to do is to lay a beautiful country for our children and grandchildren!"

Deng Sheng's words are like a final word, Deng Sheng has made a decision, no matter how unwilling Chen Qun and others are, they can only choose to accept it, and now all they can do is to try their best to find a way out for the children of the family , and there is no other way out than taking the imperial examination.

Although he has made up his mind, the current imperial examination system is just a concept, and it still needs to be refined and perfected. After deliberation, this set of selection system that will affect the future of Deng Guo is finally released.

The next day, at the court meeting in the Jingyang Palace, Deng Sheng publicly announced the implementation of the imperial examination system. The imperial examination system takes three years as a test. In the first year, each county organizes an examination and recruits students in proportion according to the number of reference students in each county. In the second year, students with excellent grades in each county will be collectively organized by the Taoist government for examinations. They will also be admitted in proportion to the number of reference students. The outstanding students will be gathered in Wancheng to hold the Beijing Examination. In the end, the top 2 students in the Beijing Examination can enter the Jingyang Palace. Deng Sheng and officials from the three provinces and six ministries will take the examination. To confer officials, the first one is the number one scholar, No.3 is the second place, No.[-] is Tanhua, and the rest are Jinshi.

However, considering that not every time the imperial examination was held, there were vacancies for officials in various places, so Deng Sheng set up the Hanlin Academy in Wancheng to accommodate students who passed the Beijing examination, but there were no officials for the time being.

Moreover, the imperial examination system of Deng State is also different from that of later generations. In later generations, as long as you pass the elementary examination, even if you fail the intermediate examination, you don’t need to retake the elementary examination. However, the imperial examination system of Deng State stipulates that as long as there is one If you don’t pass the exam, I’m sorry, you have to do it all over again. Whether it’s the county exam, the Taoist exam, or the Beijing exam, the exam is every three years. That is to say, after the county exam is over, the next county exam It can only be carried out after the end of the Beijing Examination, that is, three years later. However, since this year is the first imperial examination, and there are ten prefect positions and a large number of county magistrates, the subordinate officials need to be supplemented, so Deng Sheng went directly to the Beijing Examination. The examination and the palace examination, the Beijing examination and the palace examination are mainly for the selection of county magistrates and subordinate officials. As for the ten prefects, they are also selected from the six doctors and the county magistrates and subordinate officials in various places.

In addition, in later generations, the department in charge of the imperial examinations would be the Ministry of Rites, but Deng Sheng skipped the Ministry of Rites and set up a school with branches in various counties. However, the officials of the school are not permanent. In one round of rotation, Deng Sheng selects officials from the imperial court and other localities. The term of office is three years. Before the start of the county examination, Deng Sheng will determine the list of officials of the school department. After the end of the palace examination, all the officials of this session will leave their posts. , Return to the original post, and Deng Sheng will re-select. Although this is cumbersome, it does greatly guarantee fairness, because before the county examination starts, no one knows who the official in charge of this imperial examination is.

As soon as the imperial examination system came out, the entire Deng Guochao was in an uproar, and officials from poor families were overjoyed, because with the imperial examination system, these poor students would have a bright future, and there would be no more underappreciated talents. The rise has extremely far-reaching significance.

However, officials from aristocratic families turned ashen-faced, and one after another came out to oppose it, begging Deng Sheng to withdraw his order, because once the imperial examination system is implemented, the days when the aristocratic families dominated the officialdom will be gone forever, even if the current poor family cannot Compete with the nobles of the family, but what about the future?As a large number of children from poor families enter official positions, the living space of nobles from aristocratic families will be squeezed out by poor families, and will eventually be wiped out by everyone. Therefore, they are opposed to the implementation of the imperial examination system, and the voice of opposition still dominates the court. part of.

But who is Deng Sheng? As the most prestigious and powerful king in the history of the Deng Kingdom, how can the things that have been decided be easily changed? Impressed, seeing Deng Sheng's resolute attitude, all the officials knew that there was no way to change this matter, so they could only accept it silently.

After the end of the court meeting, the news of the implementation of the imperial examination system spread quickly, and the entire world was overjoyed, because the implementation of the imperial examination system gave the poor students who had been unable to serve the country finally a chance to flex their muscles. After taking the imperial examination, they can jump into the dragon gate, enter and leave the court, and change their fate. The aristocrats of the aristocratic families are like facing a big enemy. The aristocratic families from all over the world began to communicate frequently. In order not to follow in the footsteps of the three major families, the aristocratic families in Deng State have not been in touch with each other for a long time, but now the implementation of the imperial examination system has touched the interests of the aristocratic families, so they started to contact again.

Yingchuan County, Yangzhai City, Xun Mansion, this is the ancestral home of the Xun family of the Yingchuan family. On this day, the Xun family welcomed an important guest, Chen Geng, also the head of the Chen family of the Yingchuan family.

In the main hall of the Xun family, Chen Geng sat opposite Xun Kuang, the head of the Xun family. During this period of time, the Yingchuan family suffered two huge changes. One was that Xun Yu won the position of governor, but he paid The most important thing is that the Yingchuan family lost the position of the leader of Yingchuan and the prefect of Yingchuan. The other is the implementation of the imperial examination system, which made the Yingchuan family, the most powerful family group in Deng country, feel the crisis.

"Brother Xun, what do you think of the current situation?" Chen Geng asked Xun Kuang.

After hearing Chen Geng's words, the white-haired Xun Kuang opened his cloudy eyes and said, "Chen Xiandi is talking about Yu Yunwen's appointment as the prefect of Yingchuan or the imperial court's implementation of the imperial examination system?"

"Both, brother Xun is the wise man of our Yingchuan family, and now the Yingchuan family needs brother Xun's opinion very much!" Chen Geng directly expressed that there are two things.

Xun Kuang let out a sigh of relief and said, "Yingchuan County is the base camp of our Yingchuan family. No matter how capable Yu Yunwen is, he can only cooperate with us when he arrives in Yingchuan. This is not a big problem, as long as we restrain ourselves Yu Yunwen will not take our Yingchuan family for no reason, although he has a door behind him who ordered Zhang Bin to support us, but our Yingchuan family is not vegetarian." Regarding Yu Yunwen's succession of Xun Yu as the prefect of Yingchuan, Xun Kuang was not worried. Firstly, the Yingchuan family was deeply rooted in Yingchuan County, and Yu Yunwen couldn't do anything to them. Second, as long as he did his part, Yu Yunwen had no reason to attack the Yingchuan family for no reason. The Yingchuan family does not exist at the mercy of others.
