Chapter 948 Divide and Conquer

Xun Yu's heart tightened.

The emperor seems to be talking about family matters, but in fact there is something in the truth.

His meaning is very clear, if the children of the Xun family are willing to serve the court, they will participate in the selection like everyone else.If you don't want to, then forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

"Forget each other in the rivers and lakes" is a saying in Zhuangzi, which means not knowing each other, not disturbing each other, and gaining real freedom.

Although Confucianism also has hermits, it is impossible for Confucianism to be like Taoism and forget about the imperial court.

To put it nicely, it means forgetting each other in the Jianghu, but to put it badly, isn't it the party prison?

Son of Heaven, what does this mean?
Do you hope that the Xun family's children will actively participate in the election, or do you hope that the Xun family will keep a certain distance from the court, so as not to become too powerful and break the balance in the court?

Xun Yu quickly weighed the pros and cons, bowed and said, "Your Majesty's will, I will convey to Ru Ying's younger brother later."

Liu Xie smiled.

Xun Yu is hiding a needle in the cotton.I said the children of the Xun family, and he directly expanded the scope to the children of Ruying.

But that's good too, save me another mouthful.

The judge had no choice but to surrender, which was a good thing for the vast majority of people.But for him, this is a big trouble.

The Jizhou people in the city are limited to the status of captives and have no hope of becoming an official for the time being, but what about the Ruying people?
There are too many of them, and once they enter the court, they will inevitably break the existing balance.

It was still under the condition that Yuzhou did not completely save the fields.

This must create a bad impression.It doesn't matter if you don't spend time in the field, and it doesn't affect your career as an official.Next, if you want to spend the fields in the Central Plains, I'm afraid it will be more difficult.

The solution Liu Xieji came up with was to reform the official selection system in advance.

It is recommended to be an exam instead.

Recommendation is only suitable for acquaintance politics, and it is very easy to form cliques-examinations cannot avoid cliques, at least not as legitimate as recommendation.

Not familiar with how to recommend?How to recommend if the relationship is not good?The opportunity to be recommended is so rare, how can the person who is recommended be loyal to the recommender without showing gratitude?

Why can Yuan Shi be so arrogant?Isn't it because of four generations and three fathers, too many disciples and old officials have accumulated.

The implementation of the examination is to take back the power of recommendation from the hands of officials and return it to the court.

It is not attributed to the emperor himself, but to the whole court that is composed of ministers and emperors.

This will affect the interests of all officials with the right to recommend, and it will inevitably cause a backlash. Therefore, even if he has the power to win, Liu Xie dare not act rashly.He said this to Xun Yu in the hope that Xun Yu could lead by example, set an example, and find out what the scholar-officials were saying.

Xun Yu's reaction was within his expectation.

Xun Yu is a gentleman, but he is first of all a representative of the scholar-bureaucrat class.The premise of high moral character is that he is a person with vested interests. Once his own interests are involved, he cannot remain indifferent.

If you consider that he is still a party member, then you can't have too much hope.

Partisans succeed one after another, not because they hope to dominate the official career and exclude other competitors.

It is also because of this that when they were murdered by Cao and Sima's father and son, they stopped talking about morality, and as long as they wanted to benefit, the clear discussion became a clear talk.

As a time traveler, Liu Xie has never been so naive, pinning all his hopes on the so-called morality.

No interest, empty talk about morality, are all hooligans.

Just as he was talking, Shi Sun Rui came.

Not only the school lieutenants, fake school lieutenants, and Sima were all present, but also a few Ruying people who had just won their freedom.

Among them are Simpi and Xunyan.

Shi Sun Rui did not appoint them as officials, but only said that Simpi had made meritorious service in persuading them to surrender, and they should be able to participate in the celebration banquet.Xun Yan came to see Xun Yu and Xun Chen. They hadn't seen each other for many years. After they escaped from the dead, they met each other. It's only human.

It would be perfect if the emperor was thirsty for talents and appointed them as officials.

Liu Xie understood Shi Sun Rui's meaning, but he didn't explain it.The attitude is very enthusiastic, but it is definitely not a matter of courtesy.

The monarchs and ministers sat down to chat, but there were too many people to sit in the tent, so Xun Yu dragged Xun Yan and Xin Pi out.

"Shisun Gong, have you told them about the plan to conquer Yizhou?"

Shi Sunrui glanced at the school lieutenants and fake school lieutenants under his command, and smiled slightly. "The minister said it, but they didn't want to believe it, so I had to ask His Majesty to say it again, so as not to worry them."

More than twenty pairs of eyes turned around, and Liu Xie was a little embarrassed to see the fiery eyes.

"Don't look at me like that." Liu Xie waved his hand. "The northern army has made great progress in new training, but it's a pity that they failed to fight this time. While Mr. Sun is still able to eat, I will take you to attack Yizhou and try your sword."

"Your Majesty is wise." Guan Yu stood up and said loudly: "I also think that Yecheng is not enough to test the sword, and Yizhou is reluctant to take it. Not only can we advance by land and water, but after entering the hinterland of Yizhou, the cavalry can also show their talents."

"You all think so?"

"I think so." Wei Jie got up, bowed his hands and saluted, his arrogance not giving way to Guan Yu.

"I also think so." Lou Gui, Xu Huang and others stood up one after another, echoing Guan Yu and Wei Jie, but Ju Jun sat still with an indifferent expression.

Liu Xie looked at it carefully and said with a smile, "Have you any disagreement with Colonel Ju?"

Ju Jun got up slowly, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, I don't have any disagreement. It's just that the four fortresses of Yizhou are not the city of Ye. Let the army come and go. I am a Confucian student, and I am getting older. , I have been traveling here and there for the past few years, and I am exhausted physically and mentally. I am afraid that I will not be able to climb high mountains, and I am afraid of difficulties."

Liu Xie glanced at Shi Sun Rui, and Shi Sun Rui was also a little helpless.

It has not been a day or two for Ju Jun to be passive and sabotage. It happened that a large number of Jizhou talents were exiled overseas, and his mood became even more depressed.

Liu Xie nodded. "Lieutenant Ju went west hunting with me, and he was indeed tired. The world was not settled before, and he didn't dare to let you rest. Now it's all right, Jizhou is pacified, and I can make adjustments for you. Tell me, should you continue to stay in the Forbidden Army, or Where to put it outside, Wozhizhou County?"

Ju Jun froze for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.

He was angry on purpose, the emperor didn't care about him, and still remembered his merits in front of so many people, and wanted to transfer him to an official position.

In contrast, he seemed a little petty.

"How dare the minister. But the envoy is competent, regardless of official position."

Liu Xie thought for a while, then turned to look at Shi Sun Rui. "Liu Zhang has refused to enter the court so far, and holding Jinwu in vain for a long time is not a solution after all. Why don't we transfer Ju Xiaowei to take charge of Jinwu and take charge of the garrison of the capital?"

Sun Rui got up immediately. "I think it's very good." Then he turned to Ju Jun. "Congratulations Ju Jun." While saying that, he winked at Ju Jun.

Ju Jun was a little confused.

The Northern Army had no military achievements, and even the scholar Sun Rui was not rewarded. He could only be given a chance to fight in Yizhou, but he turned into Jiuqing for nothing.

Is this inappropriate?

"His Majesty……"

"Why, don't you want to?" Liu Xie smiled.

Ju Jun left the table overnight and stood up, bowing down on the ground. "I don't dare to be a minister... I don't dare to be rewarded for nothing."

"Who said no merit?" Liu Xie said lightly: "The imperial court hunts west, and the lords protect them. The battle of Huayin, the lords fought to the death. Isn't this credit? In my heart, I don't dare to forget for a moment. Before Jizhou was not settled, the world was uneasy, and I had to rely on the troops of the kings to fight, so I had to temporarily restrain myself. Today Jizhou is set, and the world will be safe. We should start from Jujun and share the world with you. .”
