(PS: There is another update, I’ll leave it in the afternoon.) The selection of military attachés officially came to an end. Jia Kui unexpectedly won the championship. There were a total of 10,000 others who expressed their willingness to join the army. Gao Fei also made reasonable arrangements.
, all were organized into a new army, and Jia Kui was appointed as the chief general of this army, with Hao Zhao and Linghu Shao as deputy generals.
After the competition, Gao Fei, accompanied by Zhao Yun and others, rode to Gucheng to prepare for the selection of civil servants.
In the evening, Gao Fei arrived at Gucheng. Lu Zhi and Gai Xun, the Grand Privy Council Officers of the Huaxia Kingdom, Guan Ning and Zhong Yao, the Prime Ministers of the Cabinet, together with the officials of Gucheng, welcomed Gao Fei into the county government office in the city.
As soon as Gao Fei sat down, he asked: "The selection of military attachés has concluded today. Do you have any good opinions on the selection of civil servants?"
Guan Ning first said: "Your Majesty, the selection of civil servants is to serve as local officials. If the selection is not good, it will be self-defeating. I believe that the best candidates should be selected and hired, and their ability to solve political affairs should be tested.
, only in this way can we benefit one party."
Gao Fei felt that Guan Ning was right. This was where he had a headache. The selection of civil servants must not be as simple and crude as the selection of military attachés. After all, once they are selected, they are asked to govern the local area. If they have low political ability or lack of scheming,
If it is not correct, it will definitely harm one party.
He suddenly thought of the imperial examination system of the Han Dynasty. He had to admit that to a certain extent, this system imported a lot of political talents into the Han Dynasty. As long as every link was fair, it was still a very good system for selecting talents.
of governance.
He thought for a while and said: "There are more than 38,000 people participating in the civil service selection, and our previous budget was for a shortfall of more than 500 local officials. How to select is the key. What do you think?"
Zhong Yao said: "Your Majesty, because your Majesty has made it very clear in his previous letter that as long as he has talent, he will be hired without considering issues such as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice, so some unscrupulous people have used their weapons to make up for their mistakes. I think that they can be used first."
It would be best to eliminate part of the inspection and examination system of the previous dynasty and then brainstorm a practical and good solution."
Lu Zhi retorted: "No! Your Majesty's words are imperial edicts. Doesn't doing this violate your Majesty's original intention?"
"Then how should we deal with the Taiwei's words?" Zhong Yao asked.
Lu Zhi said: "Although the county government office lacks more than 500 available talents, there are more than 30,000 people who have signed up. How to integrate all of these 30,000 people into the bureaucracy is really a difficult task. However, officials can be
Localized, below each county
, all have villages. In the former dynasty, the villages had ranks, three elders, and wandering around; there were pavilions with chiefs, there were ligui in the pavilions, there were many civilians, and there were barriers and officers in the border counties. If all the selected officials were sent to the local area,
Not to mention more than 30,000 people, even more than 30,000 people will not be enough."
After Gao Fei heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened. He felt as if he saw a big official gap in front of his eyes, and immediately said: "What Lu Taiwei said makes sense. We can first select the needed officials through the inspection system."
, and the rest will all be incorporated into the local area, so that no one is left behind, so it will be much simpler. But the selection still has to be based on the situation..."
He thought for a while and then said: "Let's do this. In the past few days, you will select the top ten. I will meet them in person and then test them in public. After all, there will be a top pick.
.”
"promise!"
The discussion was finalized, and Gao Fei suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Anyway, as long as he signed up to participate, he would become an official, and he would not be disappointed, so there was nothing to worry about.
In the next few days, the selection of civil servants officially began, presided over by Guan Ning, Zhong Yao, Lu Zhi, and Gai Xun. After almost ten days of selection, it finally came to an end.
Finally, Zhong Yao presented the top ten candidates and handed the list to Gao Fei. After reading it, Gao Fei was quite surprised, because on the list, he actually saw the names of Sima Yi and Lou Ban.
.
"Are you sure that both Sima Yi and Lou Ban participated in this civil service selection?" Gao Fei looked at Zhong Yao in disbelief and asked.
Zhong Yao nodded and said: "I am very sure that Sima Yi and Lou Ban are indeed among them."
"You didn't act like a liar?"
"Release the water?" Zhong Yao asked confused.
"Oh, you didn't neglect your duties, did you? Sima Yi is only eleven years old. Although Lou Ban is older, he is only fifteen or sixteen. How could the two of them stand out among more than 30,000 people?" Gao Fei
asked in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, it is true that I have never acted in any way. Everything is fair and there is no partiality or bending of the law." Zhong Yao said immediately as he was learning and buying.
Gao Fei also felt that it was unlikely to be suspected of betrayal, because this time he had four examiners, Guan Ning, Lu Zhi, Gai Xun, and Zhong Yao, who all regarded integrity as role models for the world. However, he was very
Unexpectedly, why Sima Yi and Lou Ban were selected into the top ten.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Do we want to meet them?" Zhong Yao asked tentatively.
"See you! I want to see how outstanding Sima Yi is and let them all come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yao ordered his people to call all ten people in. Their ages varied, the oldest was in his thirties, and the youngest was only eleven years old.
In the county government office in Gucheng, ten people stood in a row. When they saw Gao Fei, they all knelt down and said, "Common people, please bow to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
"Get up, ten wise men, please sit down."
As Gao Fei spoke, he stared at Sima Yi. At this time, Sima Yi was very different from the child who peed and played in the mud four years ago. He sat there, motionless, looking at the front with nothing in sight.
, you will never be able to see through his deep eyes. He is young and mature. This maturity is too much. An eleven-year-old child can actually have such an amazing performance.
He turned to look at Lou Ban again, but Lou Ban smiled brightly when he saw Gao Fei looking at him. On the other hand, Sima Yi sat there with an expressionless face, as if he had never seen him before.
For four years, Sima Yi and Lou Ban have studied with Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and Cai Yong in the Juxian Hall. Gao Fei has never asked how his studies have been in the past four years, because he has many things to deal with every day.
Don't take care of that underage brat Sima Yi.
At this time, Sima Yi was sitting in front of him. After seeing him, he found that Sima Yi had completely changed and became so mature. Such maturity should not appear in a child. If it does, it will only
It can be said that this child's psychology has reached its extreme, and it is so mature that it is scary.
"Your Majesty..." Zhong Yao reminded him from beside him when he saw that Gao Fei had not spoken.
Only then did Gao Fei react and said: "Please tell your names, starting from the first one on the left, so that I can get to know you too."
"Caomin Wang Ling, named Yanyun, is from Taiyuan Qi." said the young man sitting first on the left.
Zhong Yao stood beside Gao Fei. After hearing Wang Ling's words, he whispered to Gao Fei: "This man is the nephew of the former Situ Wang Yun..."
"Oh, that's it." Gao Fei nodded.
Then, a Chinese character in his twenties said loudly: "Su Ze, a grassroots man, a literary master and a martial artist in Fufeng."
Zhong Yao whispered in his ear again: "Your Majesty, this person is famous all over the world when he was young. He once served as a prefect in Jiuquan, Liangzhou. Later, Ma Teng became the emperor, resigned and fled far away, and finally came to China..."
Gao Fei nodded again and had to admire Zhong Yao's understanding of talents.
Then, the third person, who was only fifteen or six years old, said immediately: "Gaorou, a grassroots man, named Wenhui, from Chenliuyu."
Zhong Yao said: "This man is the clan brother of Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Qian. He is quite talented..."
"Um."
The fourth person said: "I am Cui Lin, courtesy name Deru, from Qinghe."
Just as Zhong Yao was about to explain Cui Lin's origins, he heard Gao Fei whisper: "Master Prime Minister, I know this man. Isn't he Cui Yan's younger brother?"
Zhong Yao smiled and said: "It's him, it's him."
"I am Du Ji, courtesy name Bohou, from Duling, Jingzhao." The fifth man, aged 27 or 28, stood up and reported loudly.
Zhong Yao didn't speak this time, maybe because he didn't understand much.
Immediately afterwards, the first person on the right stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, my surname is Jiang, my name is Qian, my name is Ziyi..."
"Jiang...Jiang Gan?" Gao Fei said in slight surprise before Jiang Gan finished speaking.
"It's just a mere incompetence. I didn't expect His Majesty to know someone's name so well, haha..." Mr. Jiang Gan has a handsome appearance, fair skin, and is also very gorgeous in his clothes. He is the best-dressed one among the people here, and he is also very handsome.
He is also the best-looking one. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he is really a handsome boy.
Gao Fei knew he had lost his composure, but Jiang Gan's shamelessness was also revealed to him. Anyone who has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will be familiar with this person. Jiang Gan's stealing of books is the most famous part of it.
"Hmm... I do know you. Please sit down."
Zhong Yao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this Jiang Qian is a talented man from the Jianghuai River. He is famous for his talent and argumentation. He is the only one in the Jianghuai River. There is no one who can oppose him..."
"Um."
Then Lou Ban stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Lou Ban..."
In the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped talking. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he had to say awkwardly: "No."
Gao Fei couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Then, Sima Yi stood up. He was wearing a long robe at this time. He was eleven years old, but he was only half a head shorter than Lou Ban. It seemed that he had enjoyed good food and drinks in Jicheng in the past four years.
Yes, he is quite tall. He bowed low, raised his hands and kowtowed: "Commoner Sima Yi, named Zhongda, from Wen, Hanoi, kowtows to the emperor."
He didn't call you "Your Majesty", but "Your Majesty", which made Gao Fei curious and asked: "Why do you call me different from others?"
"Just as everyone else says, it's better to find a new way. The word "Your Majesty" is not used to address the supreme emperor, so I don't dare to call him. I can only use the word "Emperor" instead. Only these two words can show the majesty of the emperor." Sima Yi was unhurried.
replied.
Gao Fei asked curiously: "Oh, what is the origin of the word "Your Majesty"?
