I am Da Song

Chapter 271 The Great Ambition of the New Class
Faced with the plan proposed by Chen Dong, the first one who couldn't bear it was not the emperor, but the scholar-bureaucrats.

If you choose to unify the law and study the four books and five classics, the Confucian scholars will not be able to become officials in the future, and you have to start as subordinate officials. Wouldn't the scholar-bureaucrats be reduced to working with a group of mud legs?

What is the country's preferential treatment of scholar-bureaucrats?

Where does sharing the world with the scholar-officials reflect?
Some ministers are about to stand up and object immediately.

But Zhao Huan sat on the dragon chair and spoke first, with a firm tone: "I think this proposal is very good. A group of nerds read "The Analects of Confucius" every day, and they are so stupid that they can't hold back even a bunch of officials. And how can you govern one side?"

"I told the Taizu that those who care about it can help a lot. I think it is very reasonable. Didn't the scholar-bureaucrats always say that I don't respect the laws of my ancestors? Today I will manage affairs according to the laws of my ancestors!"

Most promising monarchs look down on Confucianism.On the contrary, he is the master of success, who will reuse Confucianism, emphasizing the monarch, minister and minister, and hierarchical etiquette.

The most famous dislike of Confucianism is undoubtedly Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu.Whether it is true or not, Qin Shihuang's dislike of Confucianism is certain.

Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, even urinated directly into the Confucian hat, and yelled and cursed directly when he saw it.

In fact, the founding king of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu, also despised Confucianism very much.

The most popular ridicule against Confucianism through the ages, "The one who knows" came from the mouth of Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, Tokyo Zhuquemen was not called Zhuquemen, it was called "Zhuquezhimen."

Emperor Taizu walked by and asked Prime Minister Zhao Pu, why it was not called Zhuquemen, but the four characters "Zhuquezhimen" were written. What's the use of using an extra word "Zhi"?

Zhao Pu replied solemnly: The character 'zhi' is a particle.

As a result, the Suzaku Gate was changed to the Suzaku Gate.And "Zhihu Zheye" became the most famous ridicule of the emperor of the Song Dynasty to Confucian scholars.

A ridicule lasts for thousands of years, until Confucianism is swept away from the historical stage, and it cannot get rid of this hat of being a master.

Zhao Huan mentioned this classic again today, and the Confucian ministers were all frustrated, feeling that the status of Confucianism was about to be beaten back to the situation before Zhao Pu came to power.

This Prime Minister Zhao Pu said "Half the Analects of Confucius governs the world", and Emperor Zhenzong's "Encouraging Learning": "When you marry a wife, don't hate an unscrupulous matchmaker, there is Yan Ruyu in the book." Confucianism was elevated to the supremacy.

Now the officials are trying to knock it down.

Officials dared not oppose it head-on, and the right minister could only save the country with curveballs, and instead questioned the proposal. As long as the proposal could not be turned into a national policy, the literati and bureaucrats would not have to work with mud legs.

Mei Zhili then asked: "How can the country be governed by selecting officials and not selecting officials? Counting on treacherous officials to rule the country? Isn't it a morally corrupt person who is full of turmoil? What integrity can we talk about in this world? What hope is there?" "

But Chen Dong had obviously guessed the classic counterattack of the scholar-bureaucrats.

Talk to them about governance, and they talk about morality.Talk to them about morality, and they will quickly turn to traditions, customs, rules and other aspects.

So Chen Dong said with a smile: "Of course the selection of officials is also selected. Hasn't the imperial examination always been based on the selection of officials? Then the imperial court will set up an official selection system at the center."

Ok?
Zhao Huan smiled, somewhat understanding what Chen Dong was thinking.

Sure enough, I heard Chen Dong say: "Since the selection of officials has always selected people with profound knowledge and high morals, we might as well follow this rule."

"Those who participate in the selection of the central imperial court must be a doctor with profound knowledge, or an official who has been an official for more than five years and has no corruption."

Zhao Huan clapped his hands in comfort, and praised: "Shan, your proposal is very kind!"

This is tantamount to providing another way for all local subordinates to be promoted, and it also prevents them from having to flatter their superior officials.

Many talents have practical knowledge, but they are not necessarily good at catering to officials.Unlike other colleagues, they can be promoted all the way in the local system, gradually promoted from subordinate staff to officials.

But the imperial court gave them a chance to speak out with their strength. They participated in the selection by the central government. Once passed, they would be promoted directly, and they might become the new leaders of their own bosses in a flash.

Moreover, the central selection examination does not have too strict conditions, as long as it is required to be an official at the local level for five years, and there is no corruption.This is also conducive to promoting the integrity of local subordinate officials.

Chunwei on the 24th Road in the world will change from the Confucian scholars in the past to the local subordinates today.

But you must know that the subordinate staff are also served by students.

It means that students have mastered the two promotion paths of officials and subordinates at the same time.

But it didn't kill all Confucianism, and still left Confucianism with a chance for promotion.And it is very suitable for Confucianism.

Aren't they a group of Confucian scholars who don't care about world affairs and have poor scriptures?
That's right, let's study with peace of mind.After a thorough study of knowledge, I got a doctorate and went directly to the central selection examination.In fact, there is not much difference from participating in the imperial examination before.

Anyway, it's a lifetime of reading, and it's the last fight.Passed the exam, it means that the downturn in the past is not enough to boast, but now the debauchery has no boundaries.The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

If you fail the exam, you will continue to be your own sour scholar.

How they should live before is still how they live now.

It's just that most of the official positions and authority were taken away by the students.

This is also impossible.With the growth of the student class, the scholar-bureaucrat class must make some concessions and compromises.Redistribute the power structure.

Otherwise, the two sides will continue to fight fiercely like they are now.

Once they fight to the death, the students may not be as tender as they are today, and there will be room for them.

The internal strife that swept through the Song Dynasty was finally sorted out with Zhao Huan's support for Chen Dong's plan at the court meeting and the compromise of the scholar-bureaucrats.

The Song Dynasty recast the internal power structure and straightened out the distribution channels of the entire country.

Vigorous and high-spirited students have established their new status as the ruling class of the country.

In the silhouettes of the students with fluttering robes and sharp swords, everyone can see the pride and vigor of this new ruling class.

Of course they have reason to be complacent and unrestrained.The entire Great Song Dynasty will regenerate infinite vitality in their hands, showing a new look of forge ahead and passion.

This time will not be too far away, only wait for the day when they hit the water and are promoted to the top of the country, they will take full control of the rudder of the giant ship Da Song.

The redistribution of power naturally brings about a new distribution of interests and wealth.

But this time, the students did not focus on internal friction.

As a cutting-edge class, they are far more vigorous and dynamic than the scholar-bureaucrats.

Therefore, in terms of choosing cakes, they focused on the outside instead of exploiting the inside.

Countless people in the world were astonished to find out that as the turmoil of public opinion among literati subsided, it seemed that the eyes of the whole world turned to the northwest overnight.

The wars between the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of Liao, and Mongolia have become a hot topic of discussion in cities and villages.
