Wang Anshi's three-partition method is definitely a groundbreaking change, which realizes the cultivation and acquisition of scholars.
With the help of Zhang Yue's improved version of Suhu teachings, they can be said to complement each other.
According to Wang Anshi's four-step talent plan of teaching, nurturing, recruiting, and appointing talents, talent selection is to achieve the promotion and promotion of Sanshe personnel through monthly examinations, quarterly examinations, and annual examinations.
The officials originally intended to let the direct lecturers of Taixue conduct internal examinations on their own, but Zhang Yue disagreed.
Because this will bring serious unfairness, students who have a good relationship with Zhidao on weekdays will undoubtedly be given priority for promotion. This is like giving gifts and fighting for relationships to qualify for promotion, which is back to the shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty's general ranking list.
Meritocracy is the only way for a poor scholar to get ahead. If the fairness of the exam cannot be guaranteed, then a poor scholar has no hope of getting ahead.
Therefore, Zhang Yue insisted on meritocracy, and even though he was a prisoner of Guan Gou, he was unwilling to take advantage of this opportunity to engage in selfish pursuits in an open and honest manner.
Zhang Yue decided to select the examiners for each monthly exam from among the bachelors in the palace.
Zhang Yue invited the examiners for the quarterly examination from among the officials of the two systems.
As for the examiner of the annual examination, Zhang Yue was appointed from among Hanlin bachelors.
However, Zhang Yue's method of recruiting scholars not only canceled the transcription due to the huge amount of work, but also did not even consider the form of sealed volumes.
That’s right, every candidate’s name can be seen when the examiner marks the exam.
Because if you have scriptures, you also have rights!
For absolute fairness, if you don't give people any unfair opportunities, then it will destroy the fairness. In the end, only those who have the ability to take advantage of the loopholes will be advantaged.
But the loopholes are not so easy to exploit. The monthly exams eight times a year account for 50% of the annual assessment results, the quarterly exams three times a year account for 25%, and the annual exams account for 100%.
Twenty-five.
If any candidate has the ability to get through so many examiners, it only means that you are too awesome and that mere imperial education is no longer suitable for you. The officialdom is where you can truly display your talents.
Each exam is graded according to five levels, and the comprehensive score is calculated in proportion every year to determine the promotion or demotion of the three houses. Those who excel will be promoted, those who pass will be retained, and those who fail will be dismissed.
The method of three sacrifices is used to raise scholars, and the method of promotion and supplementation, which is mainly based on examinations, is used to select scholars. This is the method of promotion and supplementation of three sacrifices.
Wang Anshi was very satisfied with the memorial submitted by Zhang Yue, especially the unfavorable examination method, which made him unable to agree more, so he asked Zhang Yue to implement this method in Taixue immediately.
At the end of the second year of Xining, Wang Anshi's reform was in full swing. Except for Zhang Yue's reform of Taixue, which was progressing smoothly, the rest of the reforms, including the Green Crops Law and the Immunization Law, were obstructed and opposed to varying degrees. The court was full of opposition.
criticized.
On this day in the palace, the officials discussed with Wang Anshi.
Now Wang Anshi uses Lu Huiqing and Li Chang to implement reforms in the Ordinance Department of the Third Department.
Wang Anshi said to the officials: "Your Majesty, the only one who can learn the ways of the previous kings and use them is Hui Qing. His talents will be used by your Majesty in the future."
Wang Anshi's words will be used by His Majesty in the future, which means that Lu Huiqing can replace himself as an official in the future.
The official said to Wang Anshi: "I also think that Lu Huiqing is talented, but I asked Sima Guang how Lu Huiqing was? Sima Guang said that Lu Huiqing was a cunning person. What about Lu Gong's writings? Lu Gong's writings also said that Lu Huiqing was
, tall but treacherous."
"However, when I usually listen to Lu Huiqing's story telling for Jing Yan, Sima Guang and Lu Gong are often the two ministers who cannot come."
Wang Anshi heard that not only Sima Guang disliked Lu Huiqing, but also his good friend Lu Gongzhu.
But Wang Anshi said: "I know Sima Guang, and Lu Gong wrote that Lu Huiqing was treacherous, thinking that he was attached to the minister. But when Lu Huiqing was a minister, he obeyed the minister, and when he was not in power, he obeyed the minister.
Therefore, the theory of dependence cannot be established."
The official said: "But although Lu Huiqing is not worthy of his talents, ministers all criticize him. Is this his shortcoming?"
Wang Anshi said: "The reason why Lu Huiqing draws people's wrath is that he has no support from above and no support from below."
The official was very happy to hear what Wang Anshi said and said: "It is true. I wrongly blamed Lu Huiqing."
"I have also met with many officials. Most of the others who went to the palace to answer questions were in a hurry. Only Lu Huiqing was calm. It was because he had some savings, so he was able to give endless answers."
Wang Anshi said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. There are many traitors and sycophants who have nothing to blame, but how can anyone who has something to blame be guilty of committing adultery? For example, how can a person with a rich fortune dare to risk his life for others?"
It is no longer time for a new official to ascend the throne. Following Sima Guang, Fan Chunren has been criticizing Wang Anshi.
Officials have become immune to Wang Anshi's eloquence. Why should a talented person not commit adultery?
The concept of this sentence was secretly changed by Wang Anshi.
Because Zhang Yue once advised him that when desire is greater than ability, it is easy to commit adultery. And often the more talented a person is, the greater the desire, so talented people often do evil.
The official suddenly asked thoughtfully: "How does Zhang Yue compare to Lu Huiqing?"
The official had already weighed this issue in his mind, but he wanted to hear Wang Anshi's answer.
The official asked, but it was not beyond Wang Anshi's expectation.
Wang Anshi thought for a while and said: "Zhang Yue is also talented, not inferior to Lu Huiqing. This time His Majesty entrusted him with the affairs of Gou Taixue, he is quite effective, but he has no experience in serving as a local official. This is not as good as
Lu Huiqing’s place.”
Wang Anshi's words are as pertinent as ever.
The official nodded appreciatively and said, "I asked Sima Guang and he said the same thing.
Then the official asked: "This time, Lu Huiqing asked Qingmiaofa to use the ultimatum from the temple department as the capital of Changpingcang, but Cheng Hao objected. Is this okay?"
Wang Anshi said: "I think what Cheng Hao said is the right way, but I think that Cheng Hao does not know the power of the king. The income obtained from this ultimatum can buy 450,000 shi of millet. If someone in a bad year borrows 3 shi, the lives of 150,000 people can be saved."
"Selling the heads of 3,000 people shaved off by the ancestral temple can save 150,000 lives. If you can't do this, you really don't know the authority of the scriptures."
The official said: "I don't feel sorry for the Three Thousand Degrees of Ultimatum, but recently many traitors have pretended to accept the Ultimatum in order to escape from the imperial court."
Officials thought that Lu Huiqing's method of raising money was not very clever. On the contrary, Zhang Yue supported two thousand imperial students from the Imperial College without any funding from the court. Is Zhang Yue better at economics than Lu Huiqing in this respect?
The official took these words to heart. With the implementation of the new law, more and more officials opposed it. At this moment, he could not help but feel a little shaken by Wang Anshi's new law.
He immediately told himself that if you don't trust people, don't trust them.
And Wang Anshi also knew that the officials were weighing Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing.
However, Wang Anshi was not worried at all. With the rollout of the Green Crops Law, the All-Loss Law, and the Labor Exemption Law, there was also a farmland water conservancy law that was about to be launched.
Wang Anshi asked Lu Huiqing to draw up the specific measures for these reforms. As for Zhang Yue, he was only responsible for one aspect of the imperial examination.
In the future, as long as the new method is successful, Lu Huiqing will definitely have a much greater contribution than Zhang Yue. This is beyond doubt.
But at present, Lu Huiqing has implemented too many new laws, so they are being implemented slowly, and the opposition in the court is relatively loud. On the contrary, Zhang Yue is implementing them too fast.
We will be able to see the real story in a few days.
At this time, the chamberlain came to report.
It turned out that Fu Bi visited the official family.
Fu Bi came to talk about the matter again, so Wang Anshi naturally stepped aside.
In the palace, officials and Fu Bi sat opposite each other.
Fu Bi said to the officials: "After I became prime minister, I worked hard and worried like carrying a mountain on my back. I was more careful than walking on thin ice, but I still couldn't use it. I was impeached many times. I was really unqualified for the position of prime minister. Please allow me to resign."
.”
The officials also knew that Fu Bi had decided to leave, but they still insisted on staying and said: "I know that Wang Anshi is at odds with you, so I will try to persuade him again."
The officials did not know how many times they had 'persuaded' Wang Anshi.
Fu Bi smiled helplessly and said: "Your Majesty is like Anshi, who has learned to argue well and is young and powerful. However, the discussion in the palace is exactly the shortcoming of me. Therefore, I can't argue with Wang Anshi, so it is better to go quietly."
The officials were silent.
As arguments against the implementation of the new law are increasing day by day, officials still need Fu Bi to balance the situation in the court and do not want him to resign so early.
But with Fu Bi leaving, there will be drastic changes in the personnel in the court.
The official asked: "After the rich minister resigns as prime minister, who can replace him?"
Fu Bi said without hesitation: "Wen Yanboke."
The official was silent and asked again: "How is Wang Anshi?"
Fu Bi was also silent.
There was silence between the monarch and his ministers for a long time, and Fu Bi decided to try to persuade the officials one last time: "Your Majesty, nowadays, the officials in the court who are not Wang Anshi's party are accused of being lay officials, and those in school who are not Wang Anshi's scholars are laughed at as pedantry.
. I sigh at this. This is also what Wang Anshi calls a strange custom. Let’s legislate it.”
"I believe that what Wang Anshi did was to manage business, but he ignored the stories of his ancestors. He was only happy and angry in the court, and the officials who advanced and retreated were left to him. He treated the Holy Lord as someone to be bullied and treated his colleagues as nothing. Your Majesty's candle shines thousands of miles away, but why can't you?
To investigate his treachery?"
After saying this, Fu Bi stood up.
Fu Bi's words moved the officials somewhat, and made his firm heart waver again.
The next day, the officials agreed to Fu Bi's request to resign as prime minister.
Then there were some changes in the personnel in the court. Zeng Gongliang was promoted to Zhao Wenxiang, and Chen Shengzhi, the privy envoy, was promoted to Jixian Prime Minister.
Chen Shengzhi and Wang Anshi were in charge of the three departments of Ordinance and Regulations on behalf of Zhongshu and the Privy Council.
After Chen Shengzhi was promoted to Prime Minister Jixian, he resigned from the post of the Ordinance Department of the Third Department of Establishment, and replaced it with Han Jiang, Deputy Privy Envoy.
Then he replaced Lu Jie as the censor Zhongcheng, Lu Gongzhu, but Shangshu asked him to simply dismiss the three regulations department. This incident represented the break between Wang Anshi and Lu Gongzhu.
At the same time, Zhang Yue's father-in-law Wu Chong was also promoted. Recommended by Wang Anshi and Han Jiang, Wu Chong was appointed as the third envoy of Quan and became one of the four chief officials. At this time, it was only a year before his father-in-law was promoted to the imperial court.
Just after Fu Bi resigned as prime minister, Wang Anshi introduced the Farmland Water Conservancy Law through the Three Regulations Department headed by Lu Huiqing. However, at this time, criticism of the new law in the court reached a new peak.
