Chapter Fourteen; Zhao Ding's Anger

Since the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system has added a crucial link - the palace examination, in which the emperor personally ranks the candidates and selects the number one scholar, known as the "emperor's disciples". From the founding of the Song Dynasty to the resurgence of Emperor Jianyan, the imperial examination system

There have been no fewer than six reforms, but this link has never been omitted, and it is a restricted area of ​​imperial power that neither the old nor the new party dares to squeeze.

So here comes the question. Today's officials are notoriously fond of joining the army. Although it is an objective necessity, it has been almost six years since the war to destroy Xixia. They have not spent the autumn in Tokyo. How can the imperial examination be held when the emperor is not here?

The imperial examination naturally started and stopped.

So this time Zhao Guan's family was originally going to inspect the Yellow River, but they were held back by the princes. At least you, the old man, have to give us civil servants an explanation. There are so many imperial students and officials waiting to take the exam. The country is so big now.

The territory and bureaucracy are in urgent need of fresh blood.

Zhao Guanjia had no choice but to agree to this. To be honest, this problem was already very serious. The previous method he adopted was to use Jiangnan government officials and cultural officers after the disarmament as local officials, but this undoubtedly caused strong dissatisfaction with the traditional civil service system.

, that is, after his war, his prestige reached its peak and no one dared to disobey him.

But I have to admit that there are specialties in the art. Those young men in Jiangnan who had never experienced systematic training and the military attachés who dealt with soldiers all day soon appeared in large numbers in local administration. It is not that corruption and bribery have no bottom line.

But the local people's livelihood is complicated. Although there are talented people who have performed well, such as Lu You and his uncle, who even became a famous magistrate. But there are also many people who have made a mess, such as disputes between general magistrates and county magistrates, which have affected the entire region's taxation and other issues.

There were endless lawsuits, and the lawsuits could be brought to the imperial court. Combined with the advice of the imperial censor Zhongcheng Li Guang, the Zhao family finally realized that the side effects of selling officials and getting titles were too obvious. After dismissing some unqualified officials, they decided to start the campaign in August of the 11th year of Jianyan's reign.

Opening a new subject to obtain scholars - according to his original plan, it was supposed to be gradually carried out in Yanjing, but because Yanjing was still in ruins, he had to make do with it this time.

At the same time, it is stated that in this scientific examination, in addition to imperial students, all those who are currently in the rural tribute examination from all over the territory of the Song Dynasty can participate. In some war-torn areas, talented people are missing. If there is a high-ranking official at or above the minister's guarantor, they are also allowed to take the examination. Simply put,

In short, this is another compromise after compromise, and it is obviously an alternative compensation for the members of the Tokyo Secret Pavilion.

The news quickly spread throughout the country, both inside and outside the Great Wall. The Tokyo Inn was overcrowded for a while. Even the Daxiangguo Temple and the Five Sacred Mountains Temple were all white-clad officials. As for the houses of senior officials, there were no people who submitted the article.

As a result, the most respected Prime Minister Lu Gong was so annoyed that he even hid in the suburbs of Beijing to escape the summer heat.

I am already a retiree, who else can I recommend? Wouldn’t it be nice to study the original teachings and become a saint in the body as soon as possible?

So below him, there must be Prime Minister Zhao Ding. He can't hide, but he also doesn't want to get involved in this matter, because his family is about to be in trouble, and there is no way to expand the water party.

Let’s start from the beginning. In the winter of the ninth year of Jianyan, Zhao Ding’s hometown, Wenxi County, returned to the embrace of the Song Dynasty. This also meant that Zhao Ding could return to his hometown a hundred years later. So he urgently wanted to give his older, unmarried son a gift.

Zhao Fen found a wife. Fortunately, after the war was over, he could go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors and comfort his ancestors. Unexpectedly, there were twists and turns in the process. Hu Yin forcibly matched his two children. His daughter was married to Lu Gongxiang's family, but he didn't marry his son Zhao Fen.

She is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Yu Wen and the niece of Privy Councilor Zhang Jun. This also means that Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun are relatives in addition to being close friends and political enemies. It is not known whether they are good friends or bad friends.

However, after marrying his daughter-in-law, he was a virtuous and virtuous man who was filial to his parents-in-law and considerate of his husband. More importantly, he had a very good belly. In April of this year, just a year after entering the house, Zhao Ding gave birth to a big fat boy. Zhao Ding finally became the father-in-law at the age of fifty-two.

He killed his grandfather, which satisfied Mr. Zhao very much.

But he was very dissatisfied with his son Zhao Fen. This kid must have become a father and felt that he would have no face no matter how white he was, so he had to take part in the imperial examination. Of course Zhao Ding disagreed. You and I are the prime minister and we have to participate in the examination.

Yes, how can I show my selflessness when you go to take a test? But considering that my son is already thirty years younger and his classmates are becoming officials one after another, I made some concessions and decided to let him use his quota as a teacher.

A minor official.

As a result, Zhao Fen reacted violently, thinking that this was because his father, who was an official fan, ignored his own ideals. The Song Dynasty had been raising scholars for hundreds of years, except that Jing Kangzhi became special and made Lu Gongxiang a kind father-in-law. This was because he himself was really outstanding but only in his early years.

Being implicated, which purple-robed civil servant was not from the imperial examination. Even Chen Gui, who held such a high position, was vaguely excluded because of his background in Mingjing. In the future, the country will become more and more stable, and this trend will only get worse. I understand that it is not easy for my father to endure it for six years.

For seven years, the court has never explicitly stipulated that if a father is a prince, his son must not take the imperial examination. At most, it is enough to avoid him going to the place when he is appointed. Why does his father cherish feathers so much? How come he is not allowed to take the imperial examination even if he has a chance?

deprivation?

Zhao Ding never expected that his son would dare to contradict him like this, and then he went on a full-scale martial arts show, causing the Zhao family to go crazy. Zhao Fen took the beating forcefully, then turned around and took his wife who had just given birth and his unnamed son with him.

She stayed at her father-in-law's house to prepare for the exam, which made Mrs. Zhao wipe her tears every day and asked the father and son to get back together quickly.

Ordinarily, if it had been left in the past, Zhao Fen would have definitely been accused of being unfilial, and he still participated in the imperial examination? Maybe he would have been deprived of his honors, but who would have experienced the story of Zhao Guanjia and Hu Yin? The senior officials of the imperial court had a tacit understanding and tried not to

Mention the word "filial piety". If the old problem of the official family breaks out, ask if I, the son, will have to make room for the Supreme Taojun and the Emperor, which will be a big problem. Therefore, many people came to persuade Zhao

Calm down your anger, it’s a good thing for a man to have ideals and want to do things, but our family’s waste is just waiting to be eaten!

Zhao Ding was actually a man who cared about his family and loved his children. In fact, in real history, he was persecuted by Qin Hui and committed suicide on a hunger strike to keep his family small. However, Qin Hui was worthy of being a person from the underworld who was born once every five thousand years, so he still

Zhao Fen was imprisoned. Fortunately, God couldn't stand it and sent Qin Laogou to the underworld to start his journey to hell, so Zhao Fen escaped from death.

Therefore, although he was embarrassed for a moment, he did not stop his son. If the Prime Minister wanted to prevent you from entering Xuande Building, there were many ways.

When Zhao Guan's family heard about it, they were just happy and didn't take it too seriously. Instead, they instructed Ningxia Road Manager Hu Hongxiu and Datong Road Manager Ren Baozhong to return farmland to forests in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, and they must protect the ecological environment. They themselves worked hard to study this Wang Jingzhi

River sluice method.

Affected by this, almost all the students from Juzi who came to take the exam took "Book of Rivers and Channels" and "Pictures of Gongyu" to study. If they couldn't compete with their colleagues, they bought a copy of "Shui Jing Zhu".

It can only be said that the hobbies of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty were the benchmark for Shilin.
