Chapter 204: I clean up Qin Hui, open the martial arts exam, and select generals to resist the Jin Dynasty
At this time, the time traveler Zhao Ji was sitting on the dragon chair and heard that the virtuous man that Dazai Yu Shen wanted to recommend was actually Qin Hui, who was awarded the title of Jinshi in the fifth year of Zhenghe! There were thousands of alpacas galloping in his heart!
Damn it! You're so stupid, you old guy Yu Shen!
I have worked so hard to have the treacherous ministers Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Gao Qiu, Zhu Meng, and Li Yan killed on trial. I have also demoted or exiled treacherous ministers such as Li Bangyan who will surrender or escape from the Jin Kingdom in the future.
Released from the capital;
You, the seventy-year-old Dazai Yu Shen, are so dim-sighted that you actually recommended Qin Hui, a famous traitor in history, as a virtuous and talented man with impeccable conduct?!
Zhao Ji, a traveler who is familiar with the history of the two Song Dynasties, complained in his heart, but on the surface he did not criticize Dazai Yu Shen's recommendation of Qin Hui.
After all, Qin Hui, who was thirty years old at this time, was really among the best in terms of talent and learning. As early as five years ago in the imperial examination of Zhenghe five years ago, Qin Hui, who was twenty-five years old at the time, ranked among dozens of people in the country.
Among the tens of thousands of candidates, after passing the provincial examination, the joint examination, and finally the palace examination, I stood out and ranked among the top three among so many candidates in the country, and entered the top spot [jinshi and jinshi]. This talent is really good!!!
As for when Yu Shen recommended Qin Hui, he said that his character was upright and flawless. For Zhao Ji, the time traveler, he could only laugh!
Either Yu Shen was not careful in his observation of Qin Hui, who was good at covering up his lack of moral character.
Or, the current Qin Hui is just a small Taixue Xuezheng, who only assists in the teaching of doctoral students in Taixue and is responsible for teaching. In other words, Qin Hui has not yet grasped the power and has not shown any support for the Jin Kingdom.
Begging for peace and surrender, and framing the evil deeds of the loyal hero Yue Fei who resisted the Jin Dynasty on "unfounded" charges...
The time traveler Zhao Ji recalled the Qin Hui he knew when he was studying history. After he became a Jinshi, he was appointed as Xuezheng of Taixue. During the reign of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, he successively served as Zuo Sijian and Yushi Zhongcheng.
In the second year of Jingkang (1127 AD), because he wrote to Jin Shuai against the establishment of Zhang Bangchang, the two emperors Sui Hui and Qin were captured and sent to Jin Dynasty. They were trusted by Jin Dynasty general Wanyan Talan...
In the fourth year of Jianyan (1130 AD), Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Qin Hui was repatriated to Lin'an by the Jin Kingdom and advocated peace between the Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. In the first year of Shaoxing (1131 AD), he was promoted to participate in political affairs and later paid homage to the prime minister...
When Qin Hui was Prime Minister, he slandered Zhongliang, the leader of the anti-gold war faction. He was greedy and liked to use corrupt officials to exclude honest people...
Zhao Ji also knew that there was no fried dough sticks that he often had for breakfast before time travel. According to folklore, a food vendor in Lin'an was filled with righteous indignation after learning that Qin Hui and his wife Wang had plotted to kill Yue Fei in Fengbo Pavilion. He then
Two noodles shaped like Qin Hui and Wang were kneaded, twisted together and fried in a pan, and called "fried cypress". In order to vent their anger, people rushed to buy them. As the number of customers increased,
As more and more shops become involved, they simplify the production process and directly wrap the two noodles together and fry them to form deep-fried dough sticks...
Of course, this is just folklore. In fact, the origin of fried dough sticks is much earlier than the Song Dynasty, as early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, people would rather call fried dough sticks "fried cypress", which shows that Qin Hui helped Song Gaozong to murder the Jin Dynasty.
The hatred of the hero Yue Fei.
Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty once said: Qin Hui's sin is so high that it reaches heaven, and even death will not be enough to atone for it.
At this time, Zhao Ji, the time traveler, faced with Grand Prime Minister Yu Shen in recommending the Imperial Academy to learn from Qin Hui. Naturally, he could not entrust him with such an important task. Not only that, he also had the intention of killing this guy.
However, Zhao Ji, who knows the history well and has a deep city, naturally cannot execute Qin Hui, who has not yet committed any crime. If he does so, it will chill the hearts of the scholar-bureaucrats and scholars in the world. Wouldn’t I become a tyrant?
Zhao Ji said to Yu Shen: "Taizai Yu recommended Qin Hui, saying that he has impeccable conduct and is good at penmanship. He is not only good at seal calligraphy; he can also create his own unique style of neat and steady fonts, which is unique in ancient and modern times!"
Does Mr. Yu have any calligraphy works by Qin Hui?"
With his dim eyes, Yu Shen did not notice the subtle changes in Zhao Guanjia's expression when he said this. He was in a happy mood and thought to himself: I know that Zhao Guanjia loves calligraphy and painting. Qin Hui is good at penmanship and created a new school of calligraphy. He will definitely be reused by Zhao Guanjia.
, and I also have the merit of recommending good talents!
Yu Shen, who was seventy years old, smiled broadly and replied:
"Your Majesty, I am grateful that I, the humble minister Yu Shen, received a paper fan with an inscription from the virtuous and talented Qin Hui!"
Yu Shen carefully took out a paper fan from his arms and presented it to Zhao Guan's family who was sitting on the dragon chair by the eunuch Liang Shicheng.
Zhao Ji unfolded the fan and saw Qin Hui's ink marks. The characters were straight and beautiful, with thick and subdivided strokes, thin horizontally and thick vertically. The dots, strokes, strokes, and hooks all had sharp points. It was indeed a unique calligraphy font.
Zhao Ji looked at the calligraphy written by Qin Hui on this fan. It turned out to be a famous line from "The Story of Yueyang Tower" written by Fan Zhongyan, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty:
"Be worried when the world is worried first, then be happy when the world is happy"!
When Zhao Ji saw this, he not only said "f*ck" in his heart!
Qin Hui's handwriting is indeed beautiful and correct, but according to historical records, his character is definitely not correct at all.
Zhao Ji, who was familiar with the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, thought of all the evil deeds he knew about Qin Hui, a sinner in history, and now he was ready to issue an order to kill Qin Hui.
However, Zhao Ji knew rationally that he could not do that. Because Qin Hui is now just a small [Xue Zheng] in Taixue. Because of his low position, he assists in the teaching of doctors in Taixue and is responsible for teaching. He does not have much
He has great real power, so Qin Hui has not yet shown his true face as a traitor, let alone committed any crime.
Now that the Howling faction has killed Qin Hui, then I will chill the hearts of the scholar-bureaucrats and scholars all over the world. Will I not become a fatuous tyrant like Jie and Zhou?
Zhao Ji asked: "Now, is Qin Hui serving as [Xue Zheng] in Taixue?"
Dazai Yu Shen immediately responded: "Exactly!"
Zhao Ji looked calm, but thought to himself: A treacherous minister with a character like Qin Hui must no longer be allowed to subtly influence the students of Taixue, the highest institution in the Song Dynasty!
Zhao Ji said with a smile on his face: "I see that Qin Hui's handwriting is true and he writes it properly. It seems that Qin Hui is really as good at penmanship as Yu Dazai said!"
Then I will appoint him according to his talents and let Qin Hui often come into contact with books and words!
He was dismissed from the Imperial College of Qin Hui to study uprightness, and was transferred to the position of school secretary!"
Well?!
After Dazai Yu Shen heard the imperial edict from Zhao Guan's family, he felt greatly disappointed.
After all, Xuezheng of Taixue and the school secretary were of the same rank, so the talented person he recommended, Qin Hui, who had passed the imperial examination five years ago, was not reused by Zhao Guan's family!
Instead, the Zhao Guan family transferred a talented person like Qin Hui to a school secretary who was hard and tired and had no chance of promotion?!
Official positions similar to the school secretary were established as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty. The imperial court of the Eastern Han Dynasty collected books in Dongguan and established the school secretary.
In the later Wei Dynasty, the Secretariat Province began to appoint a school secretary, and in the Tang Dynasty, both the Secretary Province and the Hongwen Hall had a school secretary.
The Collector of the Song Dynasty belonged to the Ministry of Secretaries and was in charge of collating classics and correcting errors.
Dazai Yu Shen thought that in the days to come, Qin Hui, the dignified Zhenghe who had been a Jinshi for five years, would be immersed in the vast sea of books in the Secretariat, reading one book after another every day, reading useful or useful information.
Looking for typos and wrong allusions in useless thick books, my black hair turned to white, and my chances of promotion were very slim...
Yu Shen felt bad in his heart. I originally wanted to recommend Qin Hui, a virtuous and talented man, to a promotion, but instead he was transferred to the position of school secretary by the Zhao Guan family, which was hard, tiring and had a bleak future...
well!
At this time, the old and cunning Yu Shen did not dare to oppose the holy will of the Zhao Guan family.
After all, Yu Shenneng recommended Qin Hui on a whim at this court meeting, not because he had premeditated it, but because he saw that the Duke of Yan, Zheng Juzhong, who was in charge of the Privy Council, recommended Cao Fu, a junior official, and got Zhao Guan's family.
It was reused and highly praised by officials.
Therefore, his majestic Dazai Yu Shen felt: I naturally cannot fall behind Zheng Juzhong.
However, I never expected that why the Zhao Guan family did not reuse Qin Hui, the man recommended by me who had passed the imperial examination five years ago?
Yu Shen was puzzled, and he walked back in line with heavy steps, his expression was gloomy, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
In Zhao Ji's mind, he made a note of Qin Hui, a junior official who was the new secretary of the province.
After I retire from the court, I will also arrange for spies from the Detective Department under the Imperial City Department to closely monitor you, Qin Hui.
If you, Qin Hui, commit any crime, then I will never spare you lightly.
Even if you, Qin Hui, can tolerate it and are not caught doing wrong things or saying wrong things,
Then, I will never reuse you, a person like you, Qin Hui, who is talented but without virtue.
Qin Hui, just be mentally prepared to deal with the hundreds of thousands of books in the Secretarial Department for the rest of your life!
…
This court meeting lasted three times longer than before.
All the civil and military officials who participated in the court meeting could feel that the Zhao family seemed to be a completely different person in handling the government affairs. Instead of being mediocre and unprincipled in the past, the Zhao family showed that they stayed away from treacherous villains and valued the virtuous and loyal.
A diligent approach to governance...
At the end of the court meeting, Zhao Ji focused on the third year of Xuanhe next year, which is the period of the triennial scientific examination. The court must hold it normally and select talents...
The ministers were full of praise...
Zhao Ji said again:
"Since I returned victorious from the expedition to Fangla, I have seen with my own eyes how important our Song generals are to protecting the country and the people?!
The selection of generals is not only based on military merit;
Generals can also be selected through military examinations.
As far as I know, the martial arts examination system was initiated by Wu Zetian. In the second year of Chang'an of Wu Zhou Dynasty, the "martial arts examination" was first launched to select people with martial arts skills to serve the country.
However, in the Song Dynasty, the imperial court paid less attention to the martial arts examination.
The military exercises of the Song Dynasty were sometimes abolished and sometimes restored.
The status of those who came from the martial arts examination is also lower than that of Jinshi who came from the civil examination.
Before I personally conquered Fang La, I issued an edict advocating equal emphasis on civil and military affairs.
Today at the court meeting, I once again reiterated that from now on, we in the Song Dynasty will attach equal importance to civil and military affairs!"
All civil and military officials echoed:
"I will obey the imperial edict carefully. I, the Song Dynasty, pay equal attention to civil and military affairs..."
Zhao Ji announced: "I have decided to open the martial arts exam next spring."
