    In the later period, the power of various places was divided, and the imperial court was unable to control the noble families and clans in various places.

    The power of the aristocratic families in the DPRK was divided into different camps. There were very few people who were truly loyal to the emperor, and most of the knowledgeable people were in the hands of the aristocratic families.

    Speaking of the disasters of the family, it has a long history.

    Since the implementation of the Shiqing and Shilu systems in the Western Zhou Dynasty, later the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty issued an imperial edict to seek virtuous people, which ushered in the Chaoju system.

    Local governors recruit people with high moral character and outstanding talents and learning within their jurisdiction, and then recommend them to the imperial court, and then appoint them to official positions after examination.

    This has both advantages and disadvantages, because the power of selecting talents is concentrated in the hands of the emperor and local officials. Officials have a decisive influence on the selection of people, and nepotism, wealth, and power-seeking are very serious.

    In the later period, those who were recommended with meritorious service should unite with the recommended officials to form a family clan. The inspection and promotion system was manipulated and used by the family, and the clans and nobles influenced the public opinion of the village. At that time, it was like a hotbed of aristocratic clans, such as the Xie family, Wang family, etc.  rise one after another.

    Those who are elected will have a bright future, and they will rise to the top in one step. The rich and powerful families will be at the peak of their power, while the students from poor families will be abandoned in the center of power.

    The aristocratic clan controlled the government, which made the political situation at that time chaotic. On the issue of official selection, there were many conflicts between the aristocratic clan and the poor family, and the struggle was fierce.

    It was not until the death of Emperor Wei Guowu that Emperor Wei Wen officially created the Zhongzheng Nine-Rank System at the suggestion of his minister Chen Changwen.

    This is an extension of the inspection and examination system, which pays equal attention to family background, morality, and talent.

    Emperor Wu of Wei did not come from a famous family, but his grandfather was opposed to famous people.  At that time, all the famous people looked down upon him and fought against him. When the villagers reviewed him, it was a big blow to Emperor Wu's reputation.

    At that time, Emperor Wu's regime still had to rely on local noble families. Because of their high prestige, the review could not be completely abolished. If it was done forcefully, it would only attract criticism.  In the end, Emperor Wu had no choice but to cooperate with the political power, establishing Zhongzheng officials to control celebrities and powerful families.

    This approach also has advantages and disadvantages. At first glance, Emperor Wu controlled the aristocratic families, sects, and some celebrities, making them more scrupulous when commenting and speaking. However, at the same time, because of the legalization of comments, it also laid a foundation for the development of aristocratic families and famous families.  foundation.

    The chief of the county will be elected by the county officials. This move will bring the celebrities and commentators who have formed cliques under the control of the imperial court, and the selected people will be assigned to nine positions and will be evaluated for appointment in the future.

    Zhongzheng is also divided into nine ranks, which are based on family background. The third rank is the top rank. Zhongzheng is almost always held by the second rank, and the second rank has the right to participate in the election. At the same time, almost all second-rank Zhongzheng come from a noble family. This is  As a result, the power of selecting officials was controlled by the family members.

    So much so that in the later period, when the children of famous families were old and weak, they were directly selected by the family officials to serve as officials without any promotion, and they used the family's family status to gain high grades.

    At that time, among the Xie family, there were young men who had not yet reached the rank of weak crown and had entered the official position and held high positions.

    In the later period, after the emergence of Zhou Zhongzheng, the power of the family clans developed crazily at this time.

    During the Jin Dynasty, it was recorded that among the 209 people who became officials in one year, 119 of them came from aristocratic families.

    The rest of the people are more or less closely connected with aristocratic families.

    At that time, when selecting officials, emphasis was placed on family status but not on virtue and talent.

    There are no poor people in the upper class, and there are no powerful people in the lower class.

    "There are dukes in the public family, and ministers in the qing family. The humble ones are always humiliated, and the noble ones are always honored. Rewards cannot persuade them to work hard, and punishments cannot stop them from laziness." Fu Minghua murmured softly. This passage refers to: The descendants of the three princes also  But as the third Duke succeeds to the throne, the descendants of Wang Qing and nobles are also Wang Qing. The poor and humble people have always been in low status, but the nobles still have noble status.

    Such a situation means that there are no rewards to make them work hard, and punishments cannot stop them from being lazy.

    After it developed into the Chen Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty also suffered greatly. During the heyday of the family's strength, most of the officials in the court were children of the family's powerful families, and all the capable and useful children from poor families did not enter the court.

    Some world gate valves are endlessly fighting each other, the emperor's power is insufficient, and the mourning emperor is good and evil, the wasting is wasting, the temperament is faint, the government is corrupt, officials are fraudulent, and the people are not talking about life.

    Until Taizu¡¯s uprising, he overthrew the Chen Dynasty, abolished the Zhongzheng nine-grade system, and implemented the imperial examination.

    Because of the lessons learned from the past, Taizu wanted to eliminate the troubles of the family in the early days, and used ruthless methods to eradicate the roots.

    At first it seemed that this was a thunderous method, but it also laid the root of disaster.

    Although there are many talented and learned people among the children of poor families, those who are truly talented, knowledgeable and morally excellent are only a minority after all.

    Most of those who are well-educated still come from aristocratic families.

    Taizu used excessive methods, which made this personFor many years, the imperial court fell into an extremely embarrassing situation with no one available.

    "What does it matter if you can conquer the country? Only if you can control the country is it good." The Queen Mother took a breath and smiled slightly.

    At that time, Taizu realized that he had gone too far and should have taken measures slowly, but it was already too late.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of Taizu's imagination, there were many famous people in the world, and all the knowledgeable people went to the imperial court to serve his country.

    On the contrary, there is a shortage of manpower and officials in all walks of life. Many people are dissatisfied with what Taizu did back then and are afraid of being massacred. Some volunteers hide in the mountains and forests to enjoy themselves and do not want to be driven by others. Some truly talented and learned people come from aristocratic families.  I am also afraid that the emperor will unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future.

    "During the previous dynasty, the grades of officials both inside and outside the palace were carefully formulated. But now, Yuan Niang, the number of officials currently in office is less than half that of the previous Chen dynasty." The Queen Mother held back her cough, and Fu Minghua took the soft drink for her.  He put a pillow behind her waist, took some nourishing and warming tea, brought it to the Queen Mother's mouth, and fed her some.

    "This is the end of the emperor's hard work for many years."

    The Queen Mother drank some water and closed her eyes.

    The late emperor¡¯s eagerness was a temporary relief, but it left great drawbacks to the court. The words ¡°no one is available¡± sounded ridiculous at first, but after careful consideration, it is really worth thinking about.

    Fu Minghua can almost imagine that the young Emperor Jia'an encountered such a huge problem before he ascended the throne. How should he solve it?

    It is difficult for a good woman to make a meal without rice. It is not an easy task to restore the fear of celebrities and students to the imperial court, and then become officials and be used by the Tang Dynasty.

    "That's why I had my mother marry into the Changlehou Mansion." Concubine Cui was also a member of the Cui family, and was welcomed into the Prince Wei's Mansion in Luoyang under the smiling face of the late emperor.

    The Queen Mother showed a smile on her face and sighed:

    "You are a smart boy."

    It was precisely because of the predicament at that time that the Xie family, which represented one of the four clans in Jiangnan at that time, married into the Changle Marquis Mansion.  ¡®

    At first, her marriage seemed to be just Fu Qixian's luck, but in fact, this marriage brought the Xie family's sincerity in facing the emperor.

    At that time, the good relationship between the Xie family and the Fu family caused the Xie family in Jiangzhou to make some efforts for court talents.

    That year, many talented people from Jiangnan went to Luoyang to take the exam, which solved the urgent need of the court at that time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
