The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 240 Hundreds of Families (Seeking Monthly Pass Subscription)

In Chaoyang Palace!

In addition to Sui Wenwu, there are ten young men including Du Ruhui waiting, all of them are in their prime of life, imposing, imposing appearance, and their ordinary clothes can hardly conceal their spirit of excellence.

Each of the ten people has his own age, regardless of his equal.

They are the top ten in this imperial examination!Xu Jingzong, who ranked second, wrote the essence of governing the heart with virtue; Hanshu, who ranked third, wrote the legal proposition of "seeking common ground while reserving differences"; Ma Ji, who ranked fourth, wrote about the importance of equipment to people's livelihood; Gavinda, who ranks fifth, advocates the art of long-distance and short-term attack by learning vertically and horizontally, and advocates opening up the wisdom of the people...

"Meet Your Highness!"

Following Yang Tong's arrival, ten people saluted respectfully.

Yang Tong smiled and nodded, and after everyone sat down, he said, "I'm a vulgar person."

After hearing this, everyone was speechless for a while, and said in their hearts: If you are an ordinary person, there will be no more elegant people in the world.

Yang Tong’s collection of poems and essays has been released on the market. Regardless of whether the purpose is flattery or respect from the heart, all the people in Yecheng have bought it. Even ordinary people who can’t read and write have bought one or two copies at home, making the collection of poems and essays the best-selling book. Now, millions of copies have just been put on the market, and they were snapped up. Luoyang is very expensive, and this is only in Yecheng.

Out of gratitude and respect, the common people bought it for fun, but Xu Jingzong and others who looked at the inside and outside, from their experience, of course knew that any poem or article in the collection of poems and essays was a classic handed down from generation to generation. Write poems and articles of the same quality one after another, even if you die, you will die with a smile.

But this Highness is good. He wrote more than 300 poems handed down from generation to generation at once. What is even more speechless is that this "emperor among literati" also said that he is a "vulgar man". ', so what have you become?

Yang Tong doesn't know how to read minds, so he naturally doesn't know what these talented people are thinking, and then said: "I have some questions, so I'll just ask them directly."

"Your Highness, it's okay to say, I'll listen with all my ears." Du Ruhui nodded solemnly.

"Everyone is willing to come to Da Sui from all corners of the country and participate in the scientific research of Da Sui. Presumably, they agree with me and Da Sui to a certain extent, and think that Da Sui can rule the world."

Du Ruhui is from Guanzhong, Xu Jingzong is from Jiangnan, Han Shu is from Jizhou, Ma Ji is from Bingzhou, Zhang Xuan is from Youzhou, Gai Wenda is from Jizhou...

Among the top ten, more than half are native-born locals, but none of them participated in the imperial examination before.

What is the reason?

Without him!I am not optimistic about the Sui Dynasty led by Yang Tong.

However, in the past few years, the Great Sui Dynasty, which was the enemy of the aristocratic family, was flourishing. On the contrary, the Li Tang Dynasty, which was integrated with the Guanlong Group, was under the control everywhere. Today, they have seen through the advantages and disadvantages of the Sui and Tang Dynasties under the two systems. Everyone has strengthened their hearts to serve in the Sui Dynasty!
"Am I right?" Yang Tong asked.

"Not bad." Everyone nodded frankly.

Top sages like Du Ruhui, Xu Jingzong, and Han Shu are very subjective, and they will never influence their judgment because of friendship and loyalty. At most, friendship and loyalty are a reference, otherwise they would not have waited until today.

"Our Great Sui's external crisis is temporarily lifted. Even if there is a war, the scale will not be too large! Next, the Great Sui will focus on internal governance, rest and birth, restore people's livelihood, and develop national strength."

Yang Tong crossed his hands and placed his fingers on his chest, looking at the crowd, he said, "The ten of you are the best out of thousands of troops. When the training period is over, the imperial court will directly promote you to the rank of general guard based on your civil and military strengths." , Juncheng. This is a practice established after I took office! I think you all know it, right?"

"Your Highness, I will understand!"

"But I... don't want you to become officials!" Yang Tong's words stunned everyone.

Yang Tong laughed and said: "I don't want you to enter the officialdom too early, because I am optimistic about you, and I think you should be the mainstay of the Sui Dynasty, not the talents of the county and county! Therefore, I don't want to kill your brilliant future because of the busy schedule. I think you still have a lot to learn!"

"Thank you for your highness! I would like to listen to your highness's arrangement."

Everyone felt that their blood was boiling, and there was a lot of excitement and respect in their tone.They all understood what Yang Tong meant, Yang Tong didn't allow them to become officials, it was for their own good, and he had great expectations for them!

"You all have unrivaled talents, and you have your own ideas, and others can't teach you. I think 'Take copper as a mirror, you can correct your clothes; take the past as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; take people as a mirror, you can understand the gains and losses'."

Yang Tong silently apologized to Wei Zheng, and then said, "You can learn from history by reading history, and learn from the past by knowing the past! I hope you will spend some time in the secretary's province."

At the beginning of the Great Sui Dynasty, in addition to the three provinces of Menxia, ​​Internal History, and Shangshu, the imperial court also had two internal departments, the Secretary Department and the Internal Servant Department.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the service institution of the inner court.Initially, the two servants on the fourth rank were appointed as high-ranking officials, and the second official was appointed as regular servants, commanding the six bureaus including Shangshi and Yeting.

In the Daye Dynasty, Yang Guang changed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Changqiu Supervisor. There were Changqiu Ling, Shaoling, Cheng, etc., and they were replaced by scholars. Eunuchs were only low-level servants.When it comes to Yang Tong, due to the scarcity of talents, the secretary province and Changqiu prison exist in name only!
There is no official in the Secretary's Department except for those who take care of the books.All matters concerning the inner court, such as the Changqiu Supervisor, were left to Jiang Fengyi, the 'chief internal officer'.

"In the process of self-study, you can tell me what you have learned and what ideas you have in the first place! I also hope that you will not be arrogant and arrogant just because you are selected from thousands of miles. You must always remain humble and cautious. , Forge ahead, be vigilant to yourself. You are the most arrogant, you must not miss your own future."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness!" The nine responded loudly.

"Hanshu!" Yang Tong looked at Hanshu again, and asked the question in his heart, "You are proficient in the law, and your surname is Han, so you can't be a descendant of Han Feizi."

Han Shu then cupped his hands and said, "The humble job is Han Zi No. 30, the fourth great-great-grandson."

Although Yang Tong had expected yesterday, he was still a little surprised, and then he said to Ma Ji: "You are proficient in crafts, and in the article, you mentioned many instruments that benefit the country and the people. descendants?"

Ma Ji said ashamedly: "Your Highness, you are overwhelmed. Ji is only a disciple of the Mo family, and Mo Qiu is the master."

Yang Tong nodded and said to Zhang Xuan: "You think that the Ministry of Rites focuses on etiquette and cannot play its due role. It advocates strategy and diplomacy to deal with disputes between countries. "Jiao" is the trend of the times. Establishing the Sui Dynasty in the fourth department of the Ministry of Rites and creating a vertical and horizontal department is obviously the idea of ​​vertical and horizontal studies. What is the relationship between you and Zhang Yi?"

Zhang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the humble position is Zhang Yigong's No. 30 fifth-generation great-great-great-grandson."

"Haha! It's a coincidence that the descendants of the Fa, Mo, and Zongheng families entered the Sui Dynasty at the same time." Seeing the nervous expressions of the three families, Yang Tong comforted him with a smile, "I didn't mean to exclude you! It is not empty talk and nonsense to let the schools of thought enter the Tsinghua Academy."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"In the pre-Qin period, the theory of a hundred schools of thought had its essence and its dross. At that time, the two schools of Confucianism and Mohism were the most influential. At that time, they were also called "Xianxue". Mohism’s general love, frugality, and virtuousness are basically the same! There is also Legalism, which used to be so cruel that it was inhumane, but Hanshu now believes that the value of law is to punish evil and promote good. In fact, this is also benevolence and righteousness. This is also It is said that after hundreds of years and nearly a thousand years of learning from each other's strengths and avoiding weaknesses, the theory of a hundred schools of thought has become more and more rational. There is me in you and you in me, and it is impossible to divide them in detail."

When Yang Tong said this, he said to Han Shu, Ma Ji, and Zhang Xuan: "You should go home first today. First, you will announce the good news to your family and teachers; Establish morality, use soldiers to attack and plunder, use agriculture to strengthen the country, use ink to enrich the country, use medicine to benefit the people, use vertical and horizontal distance to make close friends, and use yin and yang to make tomorrow the right time and place! At the same time, the College of Agriculture, Confucianism, Law, and Mohism will be opened in Tsinghua Academy , School of Martial Arts, School of Medicine, School of Astronomy, School of Astronomy, School of Business School of Arithmetic...and other branch schools, I hope that your master will come out and serve as the dean of the branch! Cultivate talents for the country and carry forward the ideas of various schools."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Han Shu, Ma Ji, and Zhang Xuan were overjoyed.
