"I and others pay homage to the great king - Qian Qian Sui, Qian Qian Sui!"
"Forget it!"
In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Pi sat in the middle, his face as sinking as water and his eyes angry, accepting the praises of the important civil and military ministers!
Logically speaking, a superior person should have a turbulent mind and should keep his emotions and anger hidden. But Cao Pi was so angry that he drank more than ten bowls of fire-fighting decoction in a day, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his chest!
Previously, Xiao Yi sent a letter as a gift, expressing his support for becoming emperor, as long as he treated the Liu family well. This made Cao Pi very happy and thought it was done.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after being happy, someone actually jumped out and firmly opposed his change of dynasty. What was even more unexpected was that the opponents were not die-hard Han Dynasty loyalists, but members of the gentry!
The Yanzhou gentry was the first to shout the slogan: ¡®I would rather be a ghost of the Han family than a minister of the Wei family! ¡¯
Not to be outdone, the Yuzhou gentry also sent people everywhere to preach: 'We only know that there is Han, but we don't know that there is Wei. The country of Han Dynasty will not change for thousands of years! ¡¯
The Jizhou nobles who had a close relationship with Cao Pi became silent. If they didn't speak at this critical moment, it would be a silent objection.
¡¡¡¡
The gentry group has a deep foundation and is spread all over the world. If they really "raise troops to serve the king", it is very likely that the story of the eighteenth princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo will be repeated, and the Central Plains will be plunged into war. Soldiers from Bashu and Jiangdong will take advantage of the opportunity to invade, and the Cao Wei Group will But something is seriously wrong!
The question is, are the gentry group really loyal to the Han family and firmly opposed to the Cao family replacing them?
Of course not. The gentry group has always only valued interests and not loyalty. Whoever sits on the throne of the emperor has little influence on them. They just want to take advantage of the opportunity of changing dynasties to gain more political benefits.
"A group of white-eyed wolves who are greedy for profit and indulge in blood-eating and flesh-eating. This is the advantage of strangling their necks, so they are not afraid of bursting their stomachs - Bah! Bah!"
Cao Pi cursed secretly in his mind and picked up a memorial from the desk. This was submitted by Chen Qun, the censor Zhongcheng a few days ago. It is a new method of selecting talents, called: 'Nine-grade official method! ¡¯
For more than four hundred years, the Han family has been implementing a method of combining recommendation and examination. First, local states and counties recommend filial piety and integrity, and scholars. After the central government conducts various examinations, officials are appointed based on their ability and character!
This method was good in the early stage. For example, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, capable ministers and officials such as Zhu Fuyan, Sang Hongyang, Dong Zhongshu, and Gongsun Hong were all recommended to the central government in this way and played a huge role.
However, since the later Han Dynasty, the official career has been gradually monopolized by the gentry group, and most of the people recommended are those who are from well-known families, but have no talent or virtue. They are known as: 'To promote talents, those who do not know how to read, to promote filial piety and honesty, and to live apart from their fathers', the governance power falls into this. In the hands of a group of people, the decline of the country is inevitable!
Since Cao Cao came to power, he has changed the system of "promoting filial piety and integrity" that has been in place for many years, and issued many recruitment orders, emphasizing that "regardless of origin, only talents will be promoted". As long as there are people who are truly capable, even if they are from a poor family or have a lower character. Well, I will also reuse them, thereby recruiting a large number of talents!
This ninth-grade official method is completely different from the previous two. It is a brand-new talent selection system:
The imperial court set up Zhongzheng officials in each state and county. The states were called Dazhong Zhengguan, and the counties were called Xiaozhong Zhengguan. They could only be selected from local people, and local officials could serve concurrently!
In other words, only Jizhou people can serve as Zhongzheng officials in Jizhou, and only Julu people can serve as Zhongzheng officials in Julu County, and people from other places are not allowed to get involved!
The responsibility of these large and small officials is to conduct detailed assessments of the talents in their respective jurisdictions, which are divided into three specific items:
The first is family background, that is, family origin and background, whether the fathers and ancestors were officials, their official titles, what achievements they have made, or what punishments they have received!
The second is conduct, that is, a general evaluation of personal conduct and talent, whether one is diligent and studious, well-read poetry and books, whether one is filial to parents, respects teachers, is friendly to relatives and friends, as well as one's private life!
The third is grading, which mainly evaluates talents based on career status and supplemented by family background, and divides talents into nine levels: upper-upper, upper-middle, upper-low, middle-upper, middle-middle, middle-low, lower-upper, lower-middle, and lower-low. , and once the grade is formed, it can no longer be changed, and it will accompany a person throughout his life!
People of the lower third rank are not qualified to become officials and can only be ordinary people for the rest of their lives.
The first grade is regarded as the grade of a saint and is not easily given to others. It becomes a false grade!
Only those in the six grades of top and middle grades can enter the official career and officially become state officials. In the process of official promotion, his birth grade also plays a great role, even a decisive role.
 Now, Cao Pi has to admit it even if he doesn¡¯t admit it, and at the same time, he must carefully consider how to suppress this powerful greedy wolf!
Today, the world has formed a three-legged alliance of Cao Wei, Bashu, and Jiangdong, and within the Cao Wei Group, it is also divided into three forces!
The first is the Cao Group and its affiliated members. This force is the most powerful and controls the power of the court!
The second is the Xiao Group. Although it is not as powerful as the former, it has great stamina and has a great influence in the army!
The third is the gentry group, which has a long history and deep roots. Although its momentum is not as strong as in previous years, its strength cannot be underestimated!
For more than 20 years, the Cao family has been the leader and the Xiao family has been the auxiliary. The two have united to suppress the gentry group, severely damaging the latter's vitality, and the power of the poor family has risen accordingly!
However, with the passing of Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, and Cao Ren, the successors were incapable of talent, and the Cao Group was in decline, and its strength was not as good as before.
On the contrary, under the leadership of Xiao Yi, the Xiao Group is prospering, its strength continues to expand, and its party members are spread all over the government and abroad!
If this development continues, the political status of the Cao and Xiao families will be reversed, and the Xiao family may even become the dominant family. This is what Cao Pi is most worried about and cannot tolerate!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In order to restrain the Xiao family from continuing to grow, the Cao family's power is far from enough. They must find a strong ally, and the gentry group is the best choice. To win over the gentry group, they must also provide sufficient political benefits!
"Mr. Changwen's memorial, I have read it many times, but it is a good strategy for selecting talents, governing the country, and ensuring the stability of the Wei Dynasty forever!
??This king has decided that after he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he will officially promulgate the law of the nine-rank officials in the world, which will always be the law of the Wei Dynasty. I will share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats! "
¡¡
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty - long live! Long live! Long live!"
Knowing that the bait was poisonous, Cao Pi still chose to swallow it in order to sit on the throne and rule the world!
I can only solve the consequences slowly. It is best to let the Xiao Group and the Gentlemen Group fight to the death, so that the Cao family can profit from it!
Seeing that Cao Pi agreed to implement the law of nine-rank officials, the officials immediately knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the mountain" to show that the world's gentry groups fully supported the former to replace the Han Dynasty and ascend the throne as emperor!
"You must bear in mind that before I ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, no one is allowed to leak a word about the laws of the ninth rank officials, especially the Grand Sima. Anyone who violates the law will be killed without mercy!"
"According to the order!"
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Once the political deal is reached, everything will go smoothly. Opponents will disappear in an instant, and all kinds of auspiciousness will appear one after another
In the autumn of the 19th year of Jian'an, on August 16, local officials in Yuzhou reported: "A mythical beast appeared in the river, with a dragon's head, antlers, tiger's eyes, an elk's body, an ox's tail its sound was like thunder, it must be gone!" ¡¯
On August 28, officials from Peijun and Qiaoxian reported: "There is a yellow dragon energy tens of feet high, flying out from the Cao family's ancestral tomb, filling the air, and lingering for several days, and dozens of Ganoderma lucidum plants are growing around the ancestral tomb." They are all as big as porcelain plates! ¡¯
¡¡¡¡
The auspicious signs came one after another. Qingluan, fire phoenix, red rabbit, white wolf, and green-haired turtle all came out. Some of them even uttered human words: 'Great Wei Xing, the contemporary Han Dynasty! ¡¯
People all over the world can¡¯t help but talk about it, thinking that it is a sign of a change of dynasty, and they are all psychologically well prepared. Now there is only one last step left: to hold a show of abdication! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
