Chapter Seventy-Three: Death and Life and Happiness with the Son

Chen Ying was silent, he had been an official for such a long time, and he knew the proportions of advance and retreat. Now that he is a guest of the East Palace, the left and right guards of the East Palace, in the final analysis, he is still a rogue official, Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng can beat him back to his original form with a finger casually.

Li Jiancheng will hand over to him the soldiers and horses of the left and right guards in the name of inspecting the left and right guard rates, and the soldiers and horses of the left and right guard rates will be handed over to him, so why is it not a temptation? Chen Ying didn't believe that Li Jiancheng couldn't see that the specifications of the dock fort built by Chen Ying exceeded the scale of ordinary manors, and even exceeded the scale of the county seat, such as the ancient city of Loulan, with an area of nearly 120,000 square meters and a circumference of only more than 1,300 meters, while Chen Ying's dock fort was rectangular, 48 zhang long from east to west, and wide from north to south, about 57 zhang and 9 feet.

It can be said that in terms of scale, it is more than three times the size of the ancient city of Loulan. This is no longer a county seat, at least a state-level city.

Chen Ying was silent, Li Xiuning was not silent, she said coldly: "There are more than 1,000 large and small dock forts in Hedong, the largest dock fort is the Xuejiabao built by Xue Daoheng in Hedong, Liu Wuzhou entered the east of the Kou River, except for Haozhou, all the prefectures and counties have fallen, only Xuejiabao is standing, Liu Wuzhou will Xiao Deyin command 20,000 troops, it takes more than a month, not an inch to advance, but the loss of 5,000 soldiers, but Xuejiabao is only 167 zhang. ”

Facing the aggressive Li Xiuning, Chen Ying's head suddenly remembered that he would make a scripture, and suddenly had an idea, Chen Ying pondered: "Your Majesty doesn't like the lords of the family and the nobles to control the government from generation to generation? ”

Li Xiuning nodded, and suddenly his face turned cold: "Don't divert the topic, what are you building a city here for?" ”

"The Nine Grades of Officials and Persons Law founded by Chen Qun seems to be able to show the prestige of the imperial court, but the family gate valve is not big, and they have slowly become moths of the country from the sincerity of the country!" Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said, "You don't object to this, right?" ”

Although Li Xiuning wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Chen Ying's gourd, Li Xiuning felt that what Chen Ying said seemed to be very reasonable.

Chen Yingdao: "It's hard to get a noble son from a poor family, you don't object to this, right?" ”

Li Xiuning nodded, and she was even more puzzled at this time.

"When I was in the study just now, I was a little insincere!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "The Sui Dynasty died at the hands of the clan gate lords, so this makes His Majesty very vigilant, and he is bent on thinking of a way to change the control of the government by the clan gate lords like the Tang Dynasty." ”

"What does this have to do with your building of the city?" Li Xiuning turned around and walked downstairs.

"Why doesn't it matter? Why don't you understand? Chen Yingdao: "In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen decreed that the imperial examination was divided, and in the thirty-eight years of the Sui Dynasty, a total of ten Xiucai and fifty Jinshi were admitted, and the Sui Dynasty imperial examination was admitted to twelve subjects each, and a total of four were held. Five times. This book calculates five times that the children of the various clans occupy two-thirds of the places, but now, where are these three-in-one poor scholars? ”

During the Sui Dynasty, Xiucai was not a generic term for scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Xiucai originally referred to people who were talented and different, which was similar to the "Xiushi" in the Book of Rites, which was a general term and was not limited to reading scriptures. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen Yang Jian had the foresight to abolish the "Nine Grades of Zhongzheng" system and replace it with Xiucaike. In 606 A.D., the second year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, an advanced method of selecting talents, Jinshike was established, which was characterized by the method of selecting talents by examination, rather than by local inspection, and Jinshike announced the birth of China's imperial examination system

In the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, Xiucai was the most important tribute subject: Du Shi Tongdian said, "The first Xiucai is the highest, and there are five strategic strategies, including the upper and lower, the upper and lower, and the middle and upper fan, and so on." Because the standard of talent is too high, there are only ten people in the Sui Dynasty.

Li Xiuning hesitated, she really didn't know about these relatively cold knowledge.

Chen Yingdao: "In the seventh year of the emperor's reign, the first show came from Longmen Sun Renzu. Sun Renzu first served as the head of the judicial department at the county level of Facao County, which was equivalent to the president of the court and the director of the public security bureau, and later moved to the Taishou of Pingliang County. After five years of great cause, he was reported, and Yang Guang verified that Sun Renzu was corrupt and bribed, and was ordered by Yang Guang to raid his house and get 500 million yuan. Under the name of the field of a thousand tilts. ”

Li Xiuning was surprised: "In just over 20 years, he has embezzled so much money? ”

Chen Yingdao: "From the perspective of human nature, this is understandable, a person who is poor and afraid, it is easy to get lost when he sees money. In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, Zhang Lianshan, a native of Wucheng in Wuxing County, was appointed as the first Qiantang Order, good at breaking prisons, enforcing the law fairly, and was well received, and was promoted to the criminal department for three years, and the criminal department was moved to the Ministry of Justice in the ninth year of the great cause, Yang Xuangan's rebellion, with the criminal department Shangshu Wei Xuan led tens of thousands of troops to attack Yang Xuangan, Zhang Lianshan took refuge in Yang Xuangan, tired Wei Xuangan was defeated, and was beheaded after being robbed of his home. Feels incredible, right? ”

Li Xiuning felt very ridiculous, Zhang Lianshan was blessed by Yang Guang's father and son, from penniless, in just over ten years, he was promoted to a waiter from the Sanpin Criminal Department, such a person is still a thief, if he is defeated and captured, in order to pray for his life, he has to commit to the thief, which is understandable, but Zhang Lianshan took the initiative to surrender, this nature is completely different.

"In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Zhao Shao, a native of Yingchuan, was officially awarded the Jiuquan Order, and in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Rail raised troops, and Zhao Shao took refuge in Li Rail."

"The fifth year of the Great Cause, the Jincheng County Order Hao Ming, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause surrendered to Xue Ju and was the master of Xue Ju."

……

Li Xiuning asked for a long time: "What's going on, how do you remember it so clearly?" ”

Chen Ying stepped aside and found that there was a wooden case in front of Chen Ying, which was engraved with dense small characters.

Li Xiuning asked in surprise, "What is this?" ”

Chen Ying smiled slightly: "This is the book I am going to compile in the future, called the Biography of Erchen." ”

"So what?"

"So, I built such a huge dock fort to teach students, instill in them loyalty to the country, and contribute to the common people." Chen Ying said with a smile: "What kind of talents does Your Majesty want to use in the future, you want the family to have a family, you want a poor family, you want a good family, you want a good man, you want a good person." ”

Li Xiuning said slightly, and said, "It turned out that Sanniang was rude just now and misunderstood Chen Lang." ”

Li Xiuning's posture changed freely, and Chen Ying couldn't react for a while.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Li Xiuning stared at Chen Ying calmly.

Chen Ying was a little embarrassed by Li Xiuning.

Chen Yingrong said sternly: "Sanniang really thinks I want to rebel? The Eight Great Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty have long been yesterday's yellow flowers, and the Hou Mo Chen clan has no chance to rise, the Hou Mo Chen clan has been invincible for generations, and all dynasties are jealous, who will give the Hou Mo Chen clan a chance to rise? Although this world is big, I am afraid that it will not allow the Hou Mo Chen family. ”

Li Xiuning stared indifferently into Chen Ying's eyes, "But, but, with me, will I stand by while watching Chen Lang suffer hardship?" ”

Chen Ying's heart seemed to prick Li Xiuning's gaze, and he asked without moving: "According to Sanniang, what should I do to eliminate Your Majesty's mustard?" ”

"I'm just talking casually as a woman," Li Xiuning smiled and whispered, "Why is Chen Lang serious again?" ”

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning's eyes, as bright as paint, really beautiful, "Do you know what I think most in my heart?" ”

"What do you think?"

"Death and life are broad, and the son is happy."
