In the first year of the republic, that is, the twelfth year of the Great Cause, on the morning of May 8, 616, the imperial palace of Luoyang City was escorted by Mao Yi, the general of Longxiangwei, and the prime ministers who stayed in Beijing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Lu Guangli, Chen Jie and other civil and military ministers, all the way south from Beijing to Luoyang

Ten miles outside the southern city of Luoyang, by the Luoshui River, countless people are waiting here, and the people are waiting there curiously, even if they are a team of Hebei sergeants there, constantly maintaining order, these people are still pushing and squeezing

The people in Luoyang City are so lively, not really to welcome this Great Sui Emperor, in fact, everyone knows that this Great Sui Dynasty is the most nominal and dead, this emperor is just a puppet of King Chen, they are really waiting here, in addition to King Chen's order, let the people of the Eastern Capital welcome the emperor and other Beijing officials, the main thing is to witness this moment

Everyone knew what the emperor came to Luoyang for, and this little emperor who was less than ten years old came to Luoyang to make up for the throne, so everyone couldn't wait to see this little emperor immediately, as if they could give way earlier if they saw him earlier

The southbound team was huge, even if this team was only a small part of the team moving the capital, but it still took a whole morning for the whole team to enter the city, until the last southbound guard entered Luoyang City in the afternoon

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Chen Jie, Lu Guangli and others who went south in the Taiji Hall in the early stage have arrived, except for Marshal Li Benlei who is still in Liyang and Marshal Li Jing who is stationed under Tongguan, the nine ministers of the imperial court have reached seven

Chen Kefu sat on the imperial couch in the Taiji Palace, his heart was still a little restless, just now he had discussed with Fang Xuanling and others, the ceremony of the Zen throne was set a month later, and a month later, Chen Kefu was no longer King Chen, but the emperor ascended the throne

Your Majesty

Wei Zheng said that tomorrow I am really going to sit in the world, and I really feel that everything has to be solved by you

Wei Zheng saw Chen Kefu's distracted appearance and said: The ministers are now called His Royal Highness His Majesty, and His Majesty also needs to call himself the minister and the minister, this is the monarch and the courtier, and the ministers seem to be thinking about something, not knowing what it is

Yes, Chen Kefu nodded, really came to this step, sat in this position, only to find that there are still so many things to deal with, these days, I sit here all day, every day from the morning to see the mountain of music on the case in the evening, but I can't finish reading, thinking that a month later, maybe every day in the future will have to be like this, for a while, I feel at a loss, I always feel that being the emperor is so really a little dazed

Fang Xuanling and the others all smiled slightly: Your Majesty has won a hundred battles and won all battles, and the same is true for the world

I'm not afraid of war, but no matter how many soldiers and generals there are, there are always hundreds of thousands of soldiers, these days, I have been in contact with political affairs, hundreds of officials and hundreds of bureaucrats, and there are thousands of opportunities to understand that governing the world is very different from fighting the world, it is easy to fight the world immediately, but I can't rely on it right away, I have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, thousands of generals, thousands of people to fight the world, no matter who it is, I have never been afraid, but now facing a world full of holes, I don't know how to command the world

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: Hundreds of officials and hundreds of bureaucrats perform their duties, just like a mesh, Your Majesty only needs to put forward the outline, the outline, the battlefield, His Majesty is invincible, such as today, after a little peace and chaos, it looks like the great rule is going to be governed, but it is the turn of His Majesty to solicit those civil servants everywhere to govern the world, in the past few years, His Royal Highness has run schools, magazines, books, and students, vigorously promote talented and learned people, and promote the imperial examination, this year, the imperial court has also held the first imperial examination under our rule, after the county examination and the county examination, now it has ended, the township examination, Shangshu, the province and the Ministry of Rites have been set, and the first imperial examination after the new dynasty will be held in mid-May

Chen Kefu was very happy to hear that the imperial examination had been carried out, and said with a smile: Yes, I this harvest in one fell swoop to affect the world, a single horse will be turned back, and the world is wrong, how can it be a time to go back, although in recent years we have also solicited a lot of learned people, but for the entire new dynasty is still too little, now open the branch to take the scholar, this is indeed a good road, for the imperial examination, I still have those opinions, one is to be open, fair and transparent, the examination has to be vague, the second is to take more scholars, three years, one subject, it is useless, to carry out the imperial examination, bold examination, can set up three first, three people, two ninety-seven people, three hundred people, one subject, take a thousand people, and then assign them to the capital departments for internship and training, and then give officials in all parts of the world, in one fell swoop, the world's scholars will be collected in the courtThe court let them be used by the court to do things for the people of the world...,

The imperial examination was originally a system determined after the Sui Dynasty, which refers to breaking the long-term judgment of the family lords on politics, but although the imperial examination was opened, there are many subjects in the imperial examination, and each subject is not actually much, in the real sense, it is only a role of a purpose, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical significance

And what surprised them even more was that it was not surprising to take a thousand people in one subject in three years, what was really surprising was that all the innocent people in the examination could come to the exam, regardless of the rank, and the exam had to be obscured and marked, which was surprising, the imperial examination of the Sui Dynasty basically still belonged to a relatively initial system, and the candidates had to submit their own papers to the officials in Beijing before the exam, asking them to do the baoju, and then the test papers after the exam were not vague, but public

Under this system, although there are basically children of poor families who are not from famous families, they are actually the children of those officials and magnates, relatives and friends, and protégés, and at present, Chen Kefu proposes this kind of completely trying to use this imperial examination system to replace the current system of selecting officials in the imperial court

Among the seven phases in the hall, Lu Guangli, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Chen Jie, and the eldest grandson Wuji all belong to the family, and only Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling belong to the kind of scholarly disciples who cultivate and read the heirloom

As soon as this new imperial examination system came out, they all felt a sense of disbelief, and even Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were a little surprised

Your Royal Highness, will this be a little too anxious, Gao Shilian hesitated, they all know that Chen Kefu does not like the family, his attitude over the years has already explained all this, Hebei's bloodbath, and since entering the Central Plains, the measures against Henan, Luoyang and other nobles have also explained all this, but as soon as this imperial examination system comes out, it will fundamentally hit all the noble families

Such a measure can't help but not let them worry, as soon as Chen Kefu entered Hebei, he forced the powerful people of Hebei, large and small, and even those middle landlords were forced to rebel, and now it is not easy to enter the Central Plains, which has not yet mastered the stability, and at this time, it is necessary to come up with such a imperial examination system, and fundamentally weaken them by drawing salaries from those clans, which is not good, and then it will be another rebellion of the powerful people of the world, which is not a joke

Not to mention that the world has not yet been pacified, Jiangnan, Bashu, Guanlong and other places are still divided, even if the world and the whole world are really pacified, it is not a wise idea to do it right

What do you think, Chen Kefu looked at several prime ministers with heavy faces, and couldn't help but groan

Your Majesty is not able to speed up, if it is better to ease the spring rain and moisten things silently, Du Ruhui persuaded His Majesty that it is now just twenty or eight, and the year of establishment is still high, how can it be fifty or sixty years, there is such a long time, why don't you put this matter down first and solve it slowly, the minister thinks that the most important thing for us at the moment is to stabilize the hearts of the people in all parts of the world, and then to resume production and recuperate, and then calm the whole world, which is the most important thing, as for the imperial examination to weaken the family valve, this is a matter of the future

Gao Shilian is also saying: Your Majesty's court, 200,000 troops surrounded Liyang, spending countless times a day, and Your Majesty will open the dynasty and establish the country in a month, and after that, the situation in Hedong is still very chaotic, the imperial court can calm down the chaos in Hebei as soon as possible, and the soldiers and horses can be transferred to Hedong as soon as possible to calm the chaos, and some soldiers and horses can be transferred back to Liaodong and other border passes in case of non-side

Your Majesty's soldiers and horses are important, but the minister thinks that in the next stage, the court should still focus on stabilizing the place and resuming production, and after pacifying Hebei, there will only be a few counties left in the east of the river to rebel, where you can send a general to the court, the real attention of the court is to govern the local government, send officials to pacify the people, calm the local area, eliminate bandits, resume production, rebuild the homeland, and stabilize the rear, the court can also be stable, the people have food to eat, the court will have food, and the minister suggested that the court must suspend the army for three years to recuperate...,

The generals think about war, they want to fight, attack the city and plunder the land, annihilate the enemy army, and defeat the enemy one by one, which is their duty and their pursuit, but now with these ministers who have been helping him manage political affairs, Chen Kefu immediately understands that fighting the world is one set, and ruling the world is another

The prime ministers, you and I have put forward all kinds of urgent and urgently needed suggestions, Chen Kefu nodded frequently after listening, and suddenly Chen Kefu found that his brother-in-law, who had grown a beard, but his eldest grandson, Wuji, had not spoken, and couldn't help but say: Wuji, what do you think in your heart, say it, let everyone discuss it together

Your Majesty's ministers think that whether it is Ningjing to clean up bandits, or send local officials to appease the local people and restore production, these are important, but they are not our top priorities, and the most important ministers think that the most important thing for Your Majesty to do now is not these

Oh, Chen Kefu raised his eyebrows and looked at the already mature eldest grandson Wuji with some surprise: Then what do you say we need to do the most now

Collect the world's soldiers and horses, the chief of centralized power, Sun Wuji, faced everyone's gaze, calmly said a word by word (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation)
