Liu Che looked at the report from Chengwang, the eastern commander of Liaodong County.⊙w.
I really couldn't laugh or cry in my heart.
Cheng Wang said in the report: In accordance with your Majesty's edict, I went to Korea to inform the emperor and his ministers.
Liu Che did issue an order for Liaodong County to send an official to inform the North Korean monarchs and ministers about the Jiazi Edict - since war was going to be launched against North Korea, the North Korean monarchs and ministers must be educated first.
There is an exemption clause in the Han Code for punishing people without teaching.
As the emperor, Liu Che also needed an excuse to further stimulate the patriotism of the people.
Send people to North Korea to educate them.
Then, if you casually learn from the methods of later generations of rice emperors, you can openly tell the world that the Koreans are seeking their own death, not that I want to invade their land.
Then, the war with North Korea will become a just war and a war to maintain order, rather than an aggressive war.
At the same time, it can also disintegrate some of the will to resist in North Korea.
However, Liu Che never expected that Cheng Wang, the highest-ranking military official in Liaodong County, would actually go to North Korea in person?
So brave!
Something even worse happened later.
Cheng Wang said in the report: However, the monarchs and ministers of North Korea refused to obey the imperial edict!
Then, he - "Out of righteous indignation, I killed the North Korean general... and beheaded more than a hundred people, and built it as a Beijing temple to comfort the spirits of the border people who died tragically..."
What a talent!
Liu Che took the memorial, stood up, and walked a few steps.
Liu Che refused to believe a word of Cheng Wang's words!
Why did the Korean monarchs and ministers refuse to obey the imperial edict?
What edict do you refuse to obey? Whose edict?
This Chengwang Chunqiu brushwork is really smooth!
As for what happened next out of righteous indignation, Liu Che could only laugh.
The whole thing, the commander-in-chief of the eastern part of Liaodong County gave Liu Che the feeling that he was using chicken feathers as arrows to make his own decisions!
Liu Che has lived three lifetimes. How could such a thing be hidden from him?
Looking at this memorial, Liu Che couldn't help but think of similar things that happened during Xiaozhu's reign.
A close minister of Xiaozhu named She He went to North Korea as an envoy on Xiaozhu's edict. When he came back, he killed the North Korean generals and nobles who sent him, and then reported Xiaozhu...
All I can say is that the histories are surprisingly similar!
These bureaucrats really cannot be underestimated!
Liu Che now has three choices in this matter.
The first one is to send an envoy to investigate the entire incident, and then make a decision based on the facts - in this case, this successful person will die without a burial place.
False edicts or deceive the emperor, any one of them is enough to kill his whole family!
However, Liu Che could not find any reason to do this except love and justice.
Which of the future colonists of Omi is not a scumbag and a bastard?
But it is these scum and scum that have created a brand new world for white-skinned people. Even in the new millennium, European white-skinned people are still enjoying the legacy of these scum and scum.
Therefore, Liu Che hopes that there will be more bold and capable bureaucrats like Cheng Wang.
At least, it is much better to act boldly than to be timid and stick to the old ways.
Besides, if he really did that, Liu Che felt that he might dampen the enthusiasm of future colonists.
If you want to colonize, the first thing you need to do is learn to treat the barbarians as livestock.
Telling them about etiquette, justice, benevolence and forgiveness will not only breed white-eyed wolves, but what is even more frightening is that they may not appreciate it!
For example, the untouchables of Third Brother’s family...
However, if this hope is not dealt with, public opinion in both the government and the public will not mention it.
Liu Che was worried that in the future some guys would imitate the same and play a trick similar to that of neon in later generations, which would not be fun.
Whoever created the figurines has no descendants?
If future military officers and ministers all play like this, then he, the emperor, should play in the mud.
The second option is naturally to reward this bureaucrat, give him a promotion and a title, and publicize him everywhere as a model.
However, this will not do any good except angering the entire Korean monarchs and making them desperate and even fall to the Xiongnu!
The situation Liu Che is facing now is not the situation that future generations of Xiaozhu will face.
When Xiaozhu conquered Korea, the Huns huddled in Monan and did not dare to show their heads.
At that time, the Huns might still feel lucky that the Han army attacked North Korea.
But it's different now.
The power of the Huns was at its peak. Once North Korea gave up all scruples, fully surrendered to the Huns, and even became a subsidiary force of the Huns.
At that time, it will be troublesome!
What's even more troublesome is that Liu Che is not yet ready militarily.
Fighting against North Korea is only one of his tactical purposes. By fighting against North Korea, gaining control of Liang's army is his strategic purpose.
This desire disrupted his plans and arrangements. If he still wants benefits, just dream!
Liu Che didn't immediately give the order and send an envoy to capture him and take him back to Chang'an, which was already a huge loss of face!
As for the third option, that is to play dumb, pretend that this is not the case, and not respond in any way.
Soon, Liu Che made a decision. He threw the memorial in his hand into Wang Dao's hand and ordered: "Take it and burn it!"
This memorial is Cheng Wang's secret memorial. It was taken through a special route and did not pass through the Prime Minister's Palace. Therefore, as long as it is burned, no one will know the whole thing except Liu Che and Cheng Wang themselves.
However, Liu Che knew that if he did this, his life would depend on his success.
The North Koreans will definitely not be able to bear this tone.
As for Wei Man Korea, there may not be many others, but there are many assassins and desperadoes!
Many criminals who were wanted in the Han Dynasty ended up taking refuge in Mitsukoshi, the Huns and Korea.
Xiaozhu's story was caused by the Koreans' revenge.
However, what does this have to do with Liu Che?
Since Cheng Wang dares to do such a thing, he has to bear the risks that come with it!
If he can avoid revenge and assassination by the Koreans, it will prove that he is still useful.
Can't hide just right!
"I'm afraid this is also the reason why Xiaozhu let him go so far back then?" Liu Che thought to himself.
After that, Liu Che stopped doing this.
For Liu Che, the biggest thing right now is undoubtedly the upcoming examination.
According to the estimates of Neishi Yamen and Shaofu Yamen, the number of scholars for this year's examination may exceed 10,000!
So many people were in Chang'an at the same time. This was undoubtedly a test of Liu's regime's organizational capabilities.
In order to maintain order, Liu Che has ordered that 10,000 troops from Bashang used to guard against the Huns' invasion be transferred back to Chang'an to assist the northern and southern armies.
At present, the public security in Chang'an is generally good. The rangers who caused trouble in the past are busy making money this year.
With the start of various projects in Guanzhong, these rangers were either hired as supervisors or were busy recruiting workers in Chang'an City, leaving them less time to do heroic deeds.
This examination is of great significance to the Han Dynasty.
If all goes well, after this examination, the Han Dynasty will begin the transition from a feudal military aristocratic group government to a bureaucratic interest group government.
In order to make this happen smoothly, Liu Che made a lot of compromises and concessions.
For example, he issued an order that all the descendants of marquises and honorable ministers would have their grades automatically raised by one grade.
Two days ago, he issued another edict, in the name of taking care of the meritorious officials. All nephews and nephews of officials with more than 2,000 shi participating in the examination will be treated according to the treatment of the nephews and nephews of high-ranking officials.
Black?
Very dark indeed!
But it must be so!
Otherwise, it would be a tragedy that most of the final applicants are from poor families.
The old aristocracy and bureaucratic class will inevitably hate and resist the further expansion of examinations.
If he wants the reform to proceed smoothly, Liu Che must make compromises in this regard.
Liu Che had never imagined that the bureaucratic aristocracy would put the country and the country first.
People are selfish, and the slogan "for the country and the people" may be believed by a middle school boy. However, every mature bureaucrat will not take it seriously.
After feeding the nobles, ministers and bureaucrats, Liu Che was able to institutionalize and systematize the examinations.
As of today, the rough examination system and regulations have almost been released.
The main thing is to divide the three rounds of examinations into three grades.
Scholars who pass the first round will be eligible to be hired as grassroots officials in Guanzhong, such as pavilion chiefs, youjiao, liaofu, etc., to engage in grassroots management work. Such scholars are called scholars, which are outstanding talents.
the meaning of.
Those who pass the second round of examinations are bound to be appointed as pavilion chiefs, governors, and husbands, and will also have the opportunity to serve as prison officials, scribes, and low-level civil servants in the Jiuqing Yamen of Chang'an.
This type of scholars are called tribute scholars.
Those who pass the third round of examinations will inevitably take up various low-level official positions in the county-level yamen. At the same time, they will have the opportunity to enter the Jiuqing yamen and even become an attendant of the emperor.
This type of scholar is called Maocai.
These three categories will receive the same treatment in terms of future promotions and assessments, and they will all start from the lowest level of one hundred stone officials.
However, it is obvious that the grassroots Yaofu Youjiao cannot compete with the people in the county government in terms of progress speed, let alone the people in the Jiuqing government and those around the emperor.
The reason for such division is not only to select the best talents for training, but also because Liu Che has to make a compromise with reality.
After all, in future generations, when playing games, there will be a distinction between masters and rookies. If there is no level in this examination, it will be difficult to convince the public.
Otherwise, others will definitely ask, why does so-and-so work in Jiuqing Yamen, but I go to the grassroots level?
With this set of levels, distribution can be done legitimately.
Who is called a scholar instead of a maocai?
More importantly, the introduction of this hierarchical system can silence the mouths of the old aristocracy, ministers, and bureaucrats.
I have given your nephews extra points and given preferential treatment, but they still can’t pass the exam or fail in the exam. That’s because they are idiots. Stop complaining that I don’t give preferential treatment to the meritorious officials!
Corresponding to this set of hierarchical systems are Liu Che's regulations on how to arrange the way out for scholars.
Liu Che has ordered that all candidates for examination, no matter what category, must start working with a salary of less than 400 shi.
Without special reasons, such as the emperor's edict or the empress dowager's edict, you can be promoted to one level at most in one year.
All scholars shall not be allowed to serve as any landowner official, such as county magistrate, Cao chief, etc., within three years.
This obviously puts shackles on the bureaucracy.
Otherwise, those guys would assign their nephews to certain lucrative positions and let him rise like a rocket. In three to five years, he would be promoted to the court, a certain princess, a minister, or even a county captain.
After ten or eight years, won’t they be the ones who have the final say in this country?
In order to prevent future generations of brain-dead children from being deceived by the bureaucrats, they become farmhouse ministers in the early dynasty and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening.
Liu Che ordered that his order be cut into stone in the greenhouse garden of Weiyang Palace.
As long as the emperor of this country is still surnamed Liu, whoever violates this rule will be an unfilial descendant!
Now, Liu Che's main headache is the test questions.
Now, the test questions for the first two rounds of examinations have been released.
The first round mainly tests basic knowledge points, such as basic reading and writing, basic arithmetic calculations and some common sense questions.
As long as you have studied for a few years and are not too foolhardy, you can basically pass.
Therefore, Liu Che left it to Yan Yi and Ji An to compile this round of test questions.
Anyway, the requirements are not high. As long as you have some basic abilities, you can be qualified for positions such as liaofu and yujie.
This second round is a little more complicated and requires some professional knowledge.
For example, there are xx households, xx hectares of land, and xx population in a certain village. How much is the tax this year?
Or if A commits XX crime, what is the punishment? Which law should be used to decide?
Liu Che had already left this matter to the Prime Minister's Office and the Imperial Censor's Yamen to handle.
Generally, those who can pass this round are either from official families or disciples of famous families.
Of course, the possibility of getting mixed into straw bags is also very high.
For example, those nephews and nephews of Liehou Xunchen who were automatically promoted to the first level.
However, if those guys sneak in, they won't have much impact. In the end, those who stand out must be those who are truly capable.
For the third round of examination questions, Liu Che personally came to set the questions.
At present, Liu Che has almost considered the topic.
Compared with last year's examination, Liu Che's personal political color became stronger in this year's examination.
This third round of examinations is Liu Che's way to discover those future political stars.
What kind of talent is called a political star?
Of course, he is someone who is good at figuring out the emperor's intentions and can firmly implement his will and carry it out.
Therefore, the first question in this third round of examinations is - I heard that the ancient Guanzi said: The Yi and Di jackals are not to be disliked, and the Chinese are intimate and cannot be abandoned. If the princes are officials in a certain place, the Yi people in that place will live there.
There are so many. How can we turn barbarians into summer?
If the idiot dared to answer with kindness, Liu Che would definitely kick him out.
The other questions are generally similar. They ask the scholars step by step how they would respond if they became the chief executive of a certain Yi and Di area and faced the Yi and Di people who either made trouble or acted recklessly.
There is no doubt that this is Liu Che's plan to cultivate a group of future colonial management talents.
He is not very demanding, he is ruthless, he is able to use tricks on outsiders, and he is also flexible. He is not a person who is full of literary thoughts and benevolence and morality.
Liu Cheke remembered clearly that later Western colonists were not the only ones who oppressed and bullied the colonies during their colonization process.
For example, after the British became developed, they wanted to promote their set of values and play on the idea that everyone is equal. However, the untouchables of Ren San Ge did not agree, so there was the Indian Rebellion.
Well, this was also the only time that the third brother said no to the British colonists!
How dare you disturb the lives of the untouchables? They are so impatient!
When this group of people grows up, it should be the time when Han Dynasty colonialism is on the rise. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
ps: Ah~~~ It was so painful to write this section. There are some things that I haven’t considered yet. I’ll add them later!
