Chapter 167 North and South List

Is it difficult to achieve the goal of 230 years of national rule?

It's hard to say.

If we look at Guozuo from the Great Sheng Dynasty, it lasted nearly three hundred years.

Two hundred and thirty years of Guo Zuo can only be regarded as a passing grade.

Moreover, in the successive dynasties of the Great Sheng Dynasty, there were many foolish and mediocre kings, and there was also a lot of messing around.

Therefore, as long as you avoid mistakes and achieve the 230-year-long reign, it does not seem to be a particularly outrageous task.

But what about horizontal comparison?

Not to mention the special dynasties in ancient times. Since entering the feudal era, there has never been a unified and centralized dynasty in history that has a lifespan of more than three hundred years.

There are only a few people who can even live to two hundred years.

Many dynasties only take a few decades from their establishment to their demise.

Judging from the results, Guozuo, who enjoyed nearly three hundred years in the Dasheng Dynasty, was already very good. The founding emperor Sheng Taizu must have done many right things to give such an answer.

Another difficulty with this copy is that you cannot just copy the answers.

Many of Sheng Taizu's strategies for governing the country can be found in historical records.

However, the system prompts that some cases may be specious.

Therefore, we cannot completely copy the standard answer of Sheng Taizu in history, but we must use our own brains to analyze and deal with it.

If you are a player who knows a little about history, you may have already exited the dungeon and prepared to change your identity.

But for Chu Ge, this kind of game content is what he looks forward to most.

Thinking of this, he found all the memorials related to the North and South Bang cases and began to read them carefully.

At the same time, combined with the historical knowledge and related memories that I consulted before entering the dungeon, I started to analyze.



A brief summary of the historical North-South case is actually very simple.

At that time, it had been nearly thirty years since the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty, and the imperial examination system had been running smoothly for more than twenty years.

During this year, Taizu Sheng invited Zheng Sansheng, an eighty-year-old Hanlin scholar, as the examiner.

It can be seen from the name that this examiner's name comes from "Three Examinations of My Body". He could be regarded as a highly respected Confucian at that time. He not only formulated the imperial examination system regulations for the entire Dasheng Dynasty, but also greatly

The relevant laws and regulations of the Sheng Dynasty are also related to him.

It can be said that when Taizu Sheng selected him as the examiner, everyone in the court was dissatisfied.

However, after several days of examinations and very strict marking procedures, the spring list was released, and those admitted on it were all southerners, so it was also nicknamed the South List.

So the northern students blocked the road to complain, and went to the Ministry of Rites to beat drums and file a complaint.

Sheng Taizu demanded a thorough investigation into the matter, so he ordered the establishment of a special investigation team. The official Liu Xin, who headed the investigation team, submitted that there was nothing fishy about the admission results and that the northern scholars' answers were too poor to be admitted.

.

As a result, Taizu Sheng was completely angry.

He identified all the chief examiners and deputy examiners as "treacherous remnants" or "rebels" and severely punished them. The chief examiner Zheng Sansheng was given leniency because of his old age and frailty, and was sent to the northwest, while the deputy examiner

Liu Xin and Liu Xin from the investigation team were directly torn apart by the car.

As for the final result, Sheng Taizu opened another list to supplement the northern scholars, which is the so-called Beibang.

But Sheng Taizu died soon after, and in the following years, all northern scholars failed again. It was not until a later emperor finally decided to divide the imperial examination into northern and southern examinations, with 60% admitted from the south and 60% admitted from the north.

40%, this ratio was finally determined.



Chu Ge fell into deep thought.

"The Nanbeibang case... Although I have not studied it in detail, from a mainstream point of view, there is no big problem with the way Sheng Taizu handled it.

“In the imperial examinations held in the early years of the Great Sheng Dynasty, scholars from the north could still account for 30%, but when Taizu Sheng was about to die, none could be admitted.

“Although many people have verified that the imperial examinations at that time were very strict and there would be no serious fraud, this ratio itself is already very outrageous.

"It can't be that when the Great Sheng Dynasty was first founded, 30% of the scholars in the north could pass the exam, but after being governed by Sheng Taizu for more than 20 years, none of them could pass the exam, right?

"According to the analysis of the population files at that time, the population of the northern provinces accounted for about 30%, so 20 to 30% of the northern scholars were admitted, which is a more reasonable ratio.

“Even if the economy in the south is developed and the education level is higher, it won’t dominate the list.

“What’s more, there was an outrageous situation in which candidates from a certain province dominated the top seven places.

“Although the imperial examination system at that time was relatively complete and large-scale fraud was unlikely to occur, officials could also achieve effects similar to fraud through other methods.

"At that time, the capital of the Dasheng Dynasty was in the south, which meant that scholars in the south were naturally more likely to get close to the great Confucian scholars and the examiners. Their thoughts and ideas in answering papers were definitely more in line with the thoughts of the great Confucian scholars. If these examiners paid a little attention, maybe

We can roughly distinguish the differences between scholars in the north and the south.

"Moreover, the key to this case is not actually the initial result of the Southern Ranking, but that after the investigation team conducted an investigation, even though Sheng Taizu had clearly requested to recruit northern scholars, Liu Xin, the head of the investigation team, still insisted

He said there was no problem with the admission results, but insisted not to admit northern scholars.

"Therefore, it is right to punish these people. If there is something obviously fishy but cannot be found to be fishy, ​​it can only be said that the problem has spread to a serious level and has even reached a point where it is difficult to deal with it without resorting to thunderous means.

"In this case, the easiest way is to copy the answer given by Sheng Taizu. First, ask for an investigation team to be set up to re-register northern scholars. If they are re-registered, then the matter will be exposed for the time being. If there is still no re-registration, then we can only severely punish...



"But there are two problems with doing this.

"The system prompts that the facts of these cases may deviate from historical cases, and I have to make judgments as appropriate; and even if I copy it correctly this time, the next case may not be so simple.

"So, I have to start with the Nanbeibang case and analyze the situation in the court at that time. I have to figure out why Sheng Taizu dealt with it in this way at that time, and how many years of Guozuo would be affected if another way of dealing with it was used.

“Only when you understand this can you be prepared for the future.”

After Chu Ge thought about it for a while, he decided to take the wrong approach to deal with it first.

The first method is to still let Liu Xin and others set up an investigation team to investigate. After the investigation results come out, maintain the result of not admitting northern scholars to see how many years it will affect the country; the second method, after the investigation results come out

, a light punishment, such as just dismissal from office, a fine, and a small number of northern scholars to be recruited.

Then, through the results of these two handling methods, we can infer the necessity of Sheng Taizu's method at that time, and then determine the details of the court situation at this time, so as to prepare for handling other possible cases in the future.



After Chu Ge made up his mind, he entered a special movie perspective, and the subsequent clips flashed quickly in front of him.

The first is the first method. Sheng Taizu chose to accept the results given by the investigation team and no longer pursue the case.

【The prosperous dynasty and the enjoyment of the country: ninety-seven years】

Then there is the second method. Sheng Taizu did not accept the results given by the investigation team, but was given a lighter punishment. Several main officials were only demoted and fined, and more than ten northern scholars were recruited to quell the incident.

【The prosperous dynasty and the enjoyment of the country: one hundred and forty-two years】

Chu Ge couldn't help but fall into silence.

Before he made the decision, he had predicted in advance that doing so would definitely greatly reduce the power of the Dasheng Dynasty.

I just didn’t expect... to lose so much!

What particularly surprised him was that the second method actually calmed down the incident at that time, but compared to the first method of ruining the situation, it did not prolong the country much, only less than fifty years.

.

Obviously, there is a huge amount of information contained in it.
