The imperial examination of the Great Zhou Dynasty is different from the super broadcast of the Song Dynasty, and more than a dozen can be admitted at a time, which is already a lot. Several ministers have their own abacus.

Now that the power of the envoys is collected, the status of the prefect of the civil officials has been greatly improved, and a few are arranged every year, starting from the county order, or three years, or five years, and these people can be promoted to the prefect and take charge of themselves.

At that time, the civilian officials will be able to smoothly take over the power left by the generals.

They sit in the government hall, control the Privy Council, and hold the Imperial Observatory.

If you have a hard fight with the martial artists, you will definitely not be able to fight, but the water drops wear through the stones, and as long as you have the support of the emperor, you are not afraid of not being able to suppress the martial artists.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, almost two hundred years have passed, and it is definitely the dark age that civil officials are most unwilling to look back on, they are in danger, they are wantonly killed and humiliated, and a group of vulgar warriors trample on their dignity...... It's just full of bitter water, and all rivers and seas are dissatisfied.

After Guo Wei ascended the throne, civil officials finally saw the beginning of the day.

The princes of the government hall were respected by the emperor and gradually gained the prestige of the prime minister.

Especially after Wang Jun and Wang Yin and others were finished, the new generation of generals who rose in the DPRK did not dare to clash with them head-on, and the only exception was Ye Hua.

But this kid didn't sit on the side of the martial arts, on the contrary, under the power of the Jiedu envoy, the whole army, and the disposal of the martial artists, Ye Hua has never been soft.

Although he also had an unpleasant quarrel with several ministers, on the whole, everyone was able to tolerate each other.

But now, several ministers have felt a strong pressure, and they are exhausted!

The kid surnamed Ye is really far-sighted!

He's done a killer move!

And it's the kind that seals the throat with blood!

After the meeting in the political hall was hastily over, Li Gu took the initiative to invite Wei Renpu to his duty room, and the two of them wanted to discuss countermeasures.

"Wei Xianggong, Ye Hua encouraged His Majesty to reuse the martial arts, I think Your Majesty is just a whim, and he may not really listen to him, you said that it was hard to suppress the martial arts, and then let the martial arts take power, can Your Majesty rest assured?"

Wei Renpu didn't think so, he sneered: "Brother Li, Your Majesty doesn't worry about the martial arts, so you really worry about the civil officials?" ”

"This ......" Li Gu smiled bitterly: "Literati can't rebel, right?" ”

"Then do these martial artists have the ability to rebel?"

Li Gu finally changed color, "Wei Xianggong, the martial artists reused this time are mainly low-level officers in the army, even ordinary soldiers, and they are all junior officials at the level of scribes, they really don't have the ability to rebel, but if someone has a very high prestige, climb up and shout?" ”

"Whew?" Wei Renpu said politely: "There are more than a thousand people, scattered in twelve states, and they are all in charge of trivial matters, and they are not big officials who have the final say, what can they do?" Didn't you see Ye Hua's suggestion? He asked soldiers who have served in the army for more than five years to be disarmed and returned to the field, this trick is enough to eliminate His Majesty's concerns, and he is even willing to add fuel to the fire, you haven't figured it out yet? ”

The sweat from Li Gu's sideburns came down.

Figured it out, of course figured it out.

The reason why the military general can command the three armies is that his subordinates and cronies are all over the army, these people only know the generals, but not the emperor.

However, if some martial artists are regularly dismissed and replaced with new ones, so that the old and the new are alternated and constantly replaced, the appeal of the generals can naturally be weakened.

A simple reason is to let these people stay in the army and serve as the wings of the generals, or should they be put back in the place and become small officials? Is it more harmful to be a middle- and lower-level officer, or is it more harmful to be a petty officer?

This is a very clear account, with Chai Rong's wisdom and wisdom, how can he not understand it!

Therefore, using Wufu as a minor official is definitely in the interests of the emperor, and it is also a good thing for Wuren.

So whose interests are being harmed?

Obviously, it is a civil official, otherwise this minister would not be angry.

"In the past, although the officials had power in their hands, as untouchables, they made meritorious contributions to the prefect of the county, and if something went wrong, they were responsible for it...... There is no other hope than to exploit the people and make a little money. Between officials, the difference between clouds and mud cannot be the same! Wei Renpu lamented: "If you let the martial artists serve as small officials, they will no longer be untouchables, on the contrary, if they do a good job, they will be promoted, become county commanders, prefects, and even promoted to the middle of the court, as a big officer, maybe one day, Xuan Ma worships the prime minister, it may not be impossible!" ”

"No, it won't!"

Li Gu shook his head and said, "Wei Xianggong, are you too worried?" How much can a warrior have, let them collect taxes, hunt down thieves, repair roads, maybe it's okay! If they are allowed to manage one side, or even enter the court as an official, I think even if they are given a position, they will not be able to do well! ”

Wei Renpu snorted and said lightly: "Ye Hua is also a martial artist, what do you think of him?" ”

A sentence blocked Li Gu's mouth.

His face turned red, and he said unconvinced: "Ye Hua is a demon, I am ashamed of myself." However, such a demon may not come out in a few hundred years, what is there to be afraid of! ”

"You're wrong!"

Wei Renpu knocked on the table and said sharply: "How did you forget, this time His Majesty appointed a thousand people!" After a battle, a large number of martial artists will enter the officialdom, even if they are not competitive and talented, but there will always be a few powerful characters, this kind of military merit, and Qiu Bawufu discount bones are connected to the tendons, even if there is only one, it is not a blessing for you and me! What's more, there is a steady stream of their descendants, and sooner or later this court will be occupied by them! ”

"Brother Li, there's another layer in this...... Once more and more people rely on military merits to enter the officialdom, many young talents will be driven to join the army and enter the official career from this path, which is what I am most worried about! ”

"No, absolutely not!" Li Gu shook his head, "Wei Xianggong, from the imperial examination, at least he can serve as a county commander, how can anyone not take the noble road and run to play with his life, it is impossible!" ”

"Oops!"

Wei Renpu was so anxious that he stood up, and he leaned in front of Li Gu, face to face.

"My Li Xianggong, how many can come out of the imperial examination? How many people can't get the size of the test in their lifetime, let's not talk about others, let's just say Li Taibai, what do you think he would choose if he lived in the present? ”

Li Gu groaned: "After Li Taibai is a sinner, the son of a businessman, he is not qualified to participate in the imperial examination, and with Taibai's temper, he is afraid and unwilling to be like others, Haoshou is poor, right?" ”

"Yes, so Li Taibai has been tossing and turning between the powerful all his life, hoping that someone will be promoted, so that he can ascend to the sky and enter the official career in one step. If he lived in the present, the old man thought that he might enter the army, make meritorious service by beheading, and then find an official and a half-position, what does Li Xianggong think? ”

Li Gu fell into thought, indeed, with military merits to enter the officialdom, upright, upright, with Li Taibai's chic, maybe he will take this road. Of course, being a small official inevitably yields his talent, and maybe Li Bai will not bow his head.

But no matter what, there will always be some frustrated geniuses in the field who will join the army and use this as a step to advancement!

In fact, not to mention others, just like Wei Renpu, he is the kind of person who has read a belly of books, but he can't pass the imperial examination.

In the end, he took the risk of taking refuge in Guo Wei and made a desperate bet, so that he had today's status.

Wei Renpu knows the minds of literati very well, after all, not everyone can take the road of the imperial examination, and after reading a subset of the classics and histories, he may not be able to write a good article on the imperial examination.

Moreover, the field examination has always had countless drawbacks, and many talented people have lost their heads in the examination and have not been able to gain fame, so there are so many poems that are bitter and hateful, and they have never met talents...... But these people don't need to worry, Ye Hua has thought of a way for them, go to serve in the army for five years, and after making military achievements, they can enter the official career, although the starting point is a little lower, but as long as they really have the ability, they can also rise to a high position and realize the ambitions in their chests.

"Li Xianggong, from now on, I am afraid that the imperial examination will be useless, and the world's elites will compete to join the army and become a martial artist...... I, as the prime minister, what face do I have to face the hope of Shilin! ”

Li Gu's old face turned a terrible blue purple.

The imperial examination was booming, the family was replaced by a poor landlord, and the wealthy family that was once more noble than the royal family plummeted, which is called a miserable! If the path of military merit is passed, the gentry and landlords who have risen through the imperial examination will face the same situation as the family...... Uh, no, it's even more miserable!

Ordinary people no longer respect scholars, but worship martial artists, and the entire power structure in the local area will be reshuffled, and when the common people encounter something, they will go back to the martial arts to mediate, instead of relying on the literati to adjudicate...... Scholars no longer represent dignity, but warriors have become real heroes!

If you come to this point, I am afraid that it will be 10,000 times more terrible than the bad etiquette!

Originally, I thought that the era of saints emphasizing literature and suppressing military force and belonging to civilian officials had arrived...... Who knew that there was a freak in the martial arts pile!

Ye Hua, this kid, is really hateful!

He actually used this method to resurrect the martial arts force!

Not just resurrected, but even bigger!

From bottom to top, all of them are martial artists!

What is left for us?

Li Gu scratched his head, very helpless, "I said Wei Xianggong, if you don't let our children join the army!" Ye Hua is too powerful, we can't fight him! ”

Wei Renpu snorted and was silent, what he regretted most now was that he had supported the breaking of the Yan Shenggong lineage and made the inheritance of the Kong family gone...... Otherwise, there is still the signboard of Confucius and Mencius that can be used, so why is there nothing to do!

They were discussing, and other officials were also discussing, as the smartest minds in Da Zhou, they didn't have the slightest idea, after all, even Chai Rong nodded in this matter, with the support of the emperor, his arms couldn't twist his thighs!

At this time, a letter of impeachment of the Privy Envoy Zhao Pu was suddenly sent to the political affairs hall...... Song Shushang said that Zhao Pu was ordered to be responsible for the safety of the Yellow River embankment, but in order not to flood the grange of Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, he dug the embankment, flooding a full county and a half, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless!

This piece of music came up, and the princes of the political hall were like treasures, Zhao Pu, Fu Yanqing...... These two people are inextricably linked to Ye Hua, and God finally helped us once!
