Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1889 Zhiyin Prison, Female Officer System

Changan.

Dahan Hussar General's Mansion.

Backyard library.

Fei Qian and Pang Tong sat around in regular clothes, enjoying the coolness while drinking iced beer wine.

Although Chang'an is a bit cooler in the morning and evening when it is the Lanyue, the daytime is basically still very hot, sweating all over the body, drinking some iced thin wine, and then blowing the breeze in the hall, it is the greatest comfort of early autumn in the Han Dynasty.

People often say that July is the ghost month, the gate of ghosts opens wide, and then closes again on July 29, and hundreds of ghosts are rampant. It sounds scary, but in fact, in the Han Dynasty, July was still a symbol of beauty. The month of hope and expectation is the beginning of the second half of the year, full of longings for the upcoming autumn harvest, and a month of hope.

The Hungry Ghost Festival on July [-]th was originally a festival to worship ancestors, but it gradually changed under various religions, and instead became a so-called ghost festival, and there are many scary rumors spread around it.If we look back, we must know that the "ghost" on July [-]th was originally the spirit of our ancestors, but after continuous tampering, it became a terrifying evil ghost...

Fei Qian shook the wine bowl, listened to the clinking sound of the ice fish in the wine bowl, and then took a sip, feeling a coolness coming from his mouth and penetrating into his lungs, as if dispelling some of the heat around him.

This is true of current events, and the changes of the times often cause some things to change their taste after fermentation.

Maybe it's like wine, the more mellow the more fragrant it is.

Perhaps like mold, more and more rotten.

Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong, then at the table, pondering a little.

Now, perhaps, is the time to change things.It's just that Fei Qian was still a little uneasy, like although he knew that he had thrown in the koji, but before it was opened, no one could guarantee that it would become fine wine after time was fermented.

"My lord, do you have something on your mind? Pang Tong drank a glass of thin wine, smacked his mouth, put the wine glass on the table, and asked softly.

Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tongtong, nodded slightly, and said, "Someone wants to rebuild the ranks of historians..."

"A line of historians? 』Pang Tong was a little puzzled by this new term.

Historian.

It seems that the whole body is full of official positions with thick ink.

In the ancient times of China, because written records were scarce, and there were not many preserved and handed down items, the political system adopted in ancient times was often only speculative, and it was difficult to have concrete evidence. Until the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, because there were special The established historian exists, so more information has been preserved until later generations.

"Zhou Li Chun Guan" records that the Zhou royal family has five histories.During the Spring and Autumn Period, the so-called "Junju must be written" officially appeared, and there were more divisions of historians, such as major historians, minor historians, internal historians, external historians, left historians, and right historians, with a clear division of labor. "The six classics of the great history governing the country, the small history governing the country's ambitions, the internal history governing the king's orders, the external history governing the envoys in all directions, the left history records words, and the right history records events. 』

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, until the time of Emperor Wu, the Taishi Order was established, and Sima Tan was appointed as his post.Tan died, and his son Sima Qian succeeded him.When he moved to death, those who knew history were all from other officials, and Taishi no longer was in charge of history, but was limited to the scope of astronomy and calendar.At the same time, the tradition of full-time history writing in the Han Dynasty was also adopted by many feudal dynasties in later generations.

Fei Qian knew why after Sima Qian's death, Taishi Ling abolished the authority to compile history books. It was not because Taishiqian had no descendants, but because the emperor felt that he had been constrained. Ju Bi Shu", and after finishing speaking, I felt a stone hit my instep...

And it hurts.

The authority of the emperor is rare to have any effective supervision, so when the emperor is demented, he will do some unthinkable things at least. , court secrets and so on, among which there are many tricks, and if all these are recorded in the annals of history and passed on to future generations, except for some completely crazy emperors, most of them feel that their skin is crackling and their face is too ugly.

As the saying goes, "The filth is manifested in one dynasty, and the infamy is spread in a thousand years." Is there any emperor who would like the historian to write his dark side vividly and enter the annals of history in detail?
However, the old emperor pretended to be generous before, saying that when Tai Shiling was responsible for recording history, he enjoyed the privilege of recording. The traditional performing arts of Bingbi Straight Writing...

How to do?
Throw him!

Huaxia Tradition goes online, since the problem cannot be solved, the person who caused the problem will be solved.

So until now, in the late Han Dynasty, Taishiling has lost the glory of Sima Qian. Most of the historians are appointed by other people to concurrently serve as historians. Instead, Taishiling focuses on astronomy and calendar, just like Xu Yue.

There are naturally fewer and fewer historians who write straight books, and most of them even stare at the emperor's face when writing.

Of course, there are still honest historians, but...

Throughout the ages, people who are too upright have probably not ended well in the officialdom.

Today, Fei Qian is ready to make some changes.

Because now, Fei Qian wants to set up a new functional department called "Zhi Yin Jian".

"Yin", in the form of oracle bone characters, the vertical line on the left represents the pen, and the "you" on the right symbolizes holding the pen in hand. Therefore, the responsibility of "Zhi Yin Jian" is very clear, it is a special historian department.

"The person in charge is called Zhiyin Supervisor, who is the same as the servant, compares two thousand stones, is in charge of the compilation of national history, compiles historical events, records daily life, and records the calendar...there are... three assistants, the same rank The servant, Qianshi, is called Zhiyin Supervised and compiled. There are several histories, several books, and several concurrent studies... Each county also has a Zhiyin Academy, which does not participate in civil affairs and military affairs. It only records important events in counties and counties. Stone, Xiushu two, three hundred stone...』

Pang Tong looked at Fei Qian's "Zhi Yinjian" architectural system concept, frowned, and also wrinkled his chin, took a breath, speculated, and remained silent for a while.

To put it bluntly, Zhiyinjian is a purely written department, responsible for recording various things that are happening at the moment, and then compiling them into history books.The scope of this position is neither big nor small. After all, the servants are officials from the top to the lieutenant and down to the doctor, so naturally the fluctuation is very wide.

It looks simple, but it is not.

The significance of the historian is not only to record history, but also has a very important function, that is, it can exist as a supervisory force.

The power of the emperor must be supervised, and so is the power of the prime minister.

Zhiyinjian is such an institution, which is independent of people's livelihood, military and government affairs, and is only responsible for recording and registering.After all, many times people do evil because they think that no one can control themselves, or that no one knows about it, or that they can cover up the sky with one hand and cover up their ugliness...

Although speaking, there may not be a direct effect, but if we do not even do this, the corruption of rights must be the same as the case of Feihe, either caused by personal laxity, or actively seeking personal gain, and ultimately it will be the end of the entire system collapse.

If Pang Tong had played the game of later generations, he would probably have muttered that Fei Qian had to go up and down three roads, whether it was the main road or the field, he would put his eyes on it!
And this is on the bright side, plus the secret...

What is administrative management?
How to weaken the control of the local gentry over the countryside?
If a prefect of a county, as the highest administrative officer of a place, spreads the news about what happened in the local area, then he still doesn't know anything, and the higher-ups ask him, and he still has to say something and investigate and study. , but also to ask the specific handling personnel, so what is the use of such a county prefect?
Pushing it forward, if it is said that centralization can't hear or see anything at the local level, then what about control and centralization?
Although the Zhiyin Supervisory Academy does not talk about politics, does not participate in people's livelihood, and does not care about military affairs, it is like a probe that goes straight to the local area from top to bottom.Of course, for the time being, it can only reach the county level at most. As for whether it will expand to the county in the future, it will have to wait for the follow-up development...

"This matter is of great importance... My lord's concern is really..." Pang Tong clicked his tongue twice, and then asked, "I wonder who the lord wants to let go?" 』

This matter itself is an idea of ​​Fei Qian's, and it was brought out to discuss with Pang Tong. Of course, the most important thing is that Fei Qian wants to see Pang Tong's attitude towards this matter, so that he can find out the attitude of some other gentry children on this matter. view.

Fei Qian chuckled twice, "Shi Yuan thinks that Cai Zhaoji will let her go, how about it?" 』

"what?What? 』Pang Tong was taken aback for a moment.

Fei Qian continued to smile, "And in Zhiyin's prison, all female officials are used. Women from good families are selected for employment. They will be tested for civil and official lessons. If they are worthy of use, they will stay in the prison for appointment." 』

This is a blindfold, false and true. After all, not everyone is like Pang Tong, who can understand the power of Zhi Yin Jian, so Fei Qian may have fooled him, thinking that it was just set up by Fei Qian to curry favor with Cai Yan...

At the same time, Fei Qian did have other intentions in letting Cai Yan take up the post.

"All female officers? Pang Tong glanced at Mao Feiqian, "I'm afraid it's not right..."

Fei Qian nodded and said, "Shi Yuan might as well speak up." 』

In addition to being used to insert eyes, there is also the issue of serving as a female officer.

In the history of China, women gradually lost their influence in power. One of the reasons was the emergence of writing and Confucianism, which caused women to lose most of their inheritance functions besides childbearing.Another more decisive invisible factor is the law of establishing sons and heirs established by the Zhou Dynasty, which caused women to gradually lose their right to inherit political power and become vassals.

The emergence of writing has led human children to gain experience and no longer completely rely on the teachings of their parents, especially the mother's precepts and deeds. After all, children spent more time with their mothers. Before there was no writing, mothers were the closest and best way to acquire various a source of experience and knowledge.

The prosperity of Confucianism has created a function of teacher, which enables human beings to learn the knowledge and experience of their ancestors more systematically and efficiently, but it also further reduces the role of women in inheriting experience...

The Zhou Dynasty is the source of most of the feudal rituals and laws in China. Among the systems established by the Zhou Dynasty, there are three very important points. One is the law of the eldest son establishing an heir, the second is the ancestral temple sacrifice system, and the third is the non-marriage of the same surname , These three points have been used to later generations.

Fei Qian is not a feminist, nor is he a patriarchal person. From a certain point of view, once the buttocks are turned to that side, it is difficult to be serious and seek justice.

It's like feminists who see Wu Zetian mentioned, they can't say Wu Zetian's stupid things. If someone says it, they must either scold him as a lackey of patriarchy, or say that there are so many male emperors in China. Among them, they are stupid and incompetent , not as good as Wu Zetian, who didn't know what was going on, and put on an air of trembling and coldness.

Male emperors are indeed much stupider than Wu Zetian.Wu Zetian also did some good deeds, promoting the children of poor families, whether it was subjectively or incidentally, during her reign, she continued to attack the gentry, especially the Guanlong family...

But for other problems, it is wrong or wrong. There is no difference because of men and women, and there is no special care because of the number of people.

It's the truth to discuss the matter as it stands.

Feiqian believes that the emergence of writing is an inevitable part of cultural progress, and it is impossible to resist or reverse, and the wisdom of women also belongs to the wisdom of human beings as a whole, and the position of enlightenment can also be held by women, just like many teachers in later generations A considerable part of the team is held by women, so Fei Qian's prior appointment of Cai Yan as a doctorate in the Academy also represents a beginning.

But such a start is not enough.

Now, as a full-time female official, and even the issue of female inheritance rights that will be promoted in the next step, it may be possible to untie the shackles that feudal dynasties entangled on women.Of course, it is also possible that under the evolution of the times, Fei Qian is just doing white work and cannot completely change anything...

However, Fei Qian feels that since he is a descendant, he cannot follow the trend.

Especially at a higher level, political structure.

Just like the Zhou Dynasty established the three major pieces of feudal inheritance, Fei Qian also wanted to establish a huge institutional system, so that this institutional system was strong and strong enough, even after Fei Qian's age, he could still rely on inertia to continue Scroll down for a while, the longer the better.As for whether it will continue in the future, whether there will be talented people who can add bricks and tiles to this system, lubricate it, etc., Fei Qian cannot predict, but it cannot be said that because the future is uncertain, nothing should be done now.

China's imprisonment of women for thousands of years is basically equivalent to fighting with other countries with one hand tied. Just imagine, what if the other hand was also let go?
Although it is said that due to medical conditions, living standards, etc., the protection for women and children is insufficient, resulting in the birth link occupying most of the space of ancient women, but this is not a normal form.

Times will change. With the construction of Chang'an Hundred Medical Center, female doctors who specialize in gynecological diseases are also in the training plan...

To give another extreme example, even war cannot be said to belong entirely to men. After all, all men and women must bear the consequences of war. Why must women be refused to go to the battlefield and women are not allowed to take up swords and guns to fight for their own lives? Hope to go down?

Regardless of how the Shang Dynasty was smeared by the later courts, but in the Shang Dynasty, there was a record of "Three Thousands of Women, Ten Thousands of Travels, and Expeditions", that is, three thousand female soldiers organized an additional ten thousand troops, Then set off to conquer the earth.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were also Rui Bowan's mother and Mrs. Chu Wu's wife Deng Man.

Fei Qian felt that no matter what Pang Tong said, he could find some reasons to persuade Pang Tong, but he didn't expect Pang Tong to ponder for a while, but said: "In the long run, we must not only accept female officials..."

Fei Qian was about to refute, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and blinked, "So, does Shi Yuan not hate female officials?" 』

Pang Tong laughed and said, "If all the female officials in the world are like Master Cai, what's wrong with them?"When the master selects scholars, he should be weighed by virtue and ability. How can he limit the men and women he seeks?Isn't it ridiculous? 』

"If it is the meaning of Shi Yuan?What should be done? 』Fei Qian felt that what Pang Tong said was reasonable, so he didn't have to stick to his original plan.

"Everyone Cai's family has a long history, and he has a strong record of Bowen. It is not wrong to be appointed as the supervisor of Zhi Yin."However, for the rest of the positions, talents are selected, regardless of gender, and they are all tested. If they are suitable, they will be appointed. Take it up, try it in the court, if this is the case, it is the way of Zhongzheng..."

Here, the memory of later generations has influenced Fei Qian, making Fei Qian always feel that women were discriminated against in the ancient officialdom, but in fact, among the big men today, those who are too emotional and unreasonable are discriminated against. , regardless of gender.It’s just that sometimes women are more obvious in this aspect, such as the Queen Mother Xuan who uses the bed as a metaphor for foreign ministers, such as the Queen Mother Dou who throws Yuangu to the wild boar...

In fact, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and even to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although the proportion of female officials did gradually decrease, they were not completely unacceptable to the court. Even during the Northern Wei Dynasty, the number of female officials was more than that in the Han Dynasty. , and more institutionalized, the Tang Dynasty, everyone knows, and then the Song Dynasty...

Confucius once said, "Wife is also the master of relatives", but the so-called "carrying forward" in later generations treats this sentence as not existing, and only talks about the so-called three obediences and four virtues.

Pang Tong is also very pertinent.Cai Yong was the official historian appointed by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. In history, when Wang Yun wanted to kill Cai Yong, Cai Yong also said that he was willing to endure torture such as stabbing swords and cutting feet to save the rest of his life and complete the history of Han Dynasty. So from this perspective, Cai Yan followed his father's wishes, entered Zhiyin prison, and compiled Han history, which can be regarded as a beautiful story.

More importantly, Cai Yan does have the strength in this area, whether it is from the Qinglong Temple or the talent shown in the academy before, it is admirable, so Pang Tong does not object to Cai Yan being the supervisor of Zhiyin. He even said that if Cai Yan felt that it was inconvenient for him to be alone, he would be accompanied by a friend he knew, as long as he had real talents and knowledge, and passed the public examination, he could still hold an official position and so on.

The only thing Pang Tong refuted Fei Qian was that Fei Qian said before that the Zhiyin prison was limited to female officials, and he thought it was discrimination against men...

This... well...

After thinking about it, Fei Qian nodded in agreement, removed this restriction, and then it was basically confirmed that Cai Yan will be officially appointed as the supervisor of Zhiyin on the tenth day of the lunar new year, and will be mainly responsible for compiling Han history.The subsequent construction of the Zhiyin Academy will start one after another after Cai Yan is formally appointed.

Cai Yan should not just be a beautiful vase, she deserves her own position, and this position is based on her ability, not her gender or appearance.

In the workplace of later generations, there will always be some women who enjoy all kinds of women's benefits, do not do heavy or rough work, pick and choose, and express how difficult it is for women to become high-level positions, and then feel tired of other male employees. Tired of staying up late and working overtime and turning a blind eye to hair loss, dark circles and so on.

After discussing and deciding on one thing, Fei Qian picked up a draft document from the table and handed it to Pang Tong. "Shi Yuan, how do you look at this matter again? 』

Now that the soldiers are free to rest and repair, the rest of the people can't be idle.

Two words, make trouble!

Four words, continue to make trouble!

While muttering, Pang Tong knew that the wine was not good to drink today, and when he took it over for a look, he couldn't help but widen his eyes...

　Some readers may not be very clear about it...

　　The scope of so-called private goods in the article is: in the translation, when citing any content, the original text is misinterpreted by means of deletion/falsification/interception of fragments, etc., with the purpose of deceiving and misleading readers.

　　Later, it was used on the Internet and became an Internet term.

　　However, there are many Internet language people who follow what they say, and few people pay attention to the original meaning, and then they are used by different people in different ways.

　　Many people think that "carrying private goods" is just a personal point of view, and the key lies in the word "carrying".

　　Please, I didn't translate this novel from somewhere. It's all the author's own thinking and personal point of view, which means that the whole article is private.

　　All Qidian novels, as long as they are not translations of foreign languages, count as one, and all of them are "private goods" of their respective authors!
　　It's like accusing the teacher of not allowing private goods in class.

　　It is quite normal for a teacher to express his opinion on a certain event in class without following the script, especially liberal arts, Chinese political history, etc. Who does not have his own views and opinions?

　　As a result, some people clamored that this was called "carrying private goods"?
　　So what is not called "carrying private goods"?
　　According to the logical standard of the attacker, if you read it verbatim according to the textbook, is it not called carrying private goods?
　　So did the textbook editors "bring private goods"?
　　Everyone else in the world has "private goods", but the attacker himself has no "private goods" at all?
