"You're Takakawa?"

"Yes, Ming Gong." Takakawa replied cautiously.

Wang Ju stared at him, his height was about 1.75 meters, slightly shorter than Wang Ju, but this height was relatively high in the Song Dynasty. He looks good, but he is a little nervous, which is understandable, who called this kid "not tricky".

"I heard that you helped my second brother a lot in Taixue."

"That's as it should be, we're friends."

"But I still want to thank you, but I called you today, not for this matter, I ask you, what is going on between you and the second girl?"

Gao Chuan was stunned for a moment, and the second girl said coyly: "Brother." ”

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Gao Chuan, Wang Chong and Zhang Gui all entered Taixue, and happened to be in the same classroom, because Wang Juju wantonly cut the weapons superintendent, offended some powerful children, and some people bullied Wang Chong, this Wang Ju is not easy to come forward, besides, he can protect the third brother for a while, but he can't protect the third brother for a lifetime, and Wang Chong is not so easy to bully.

That is, a group of teenagers are noisy and noisy, and even if there is no matter of Wang Ju's reduction of the weapons superintendent, it also happens from time to time in Taixue.

This Gao Chuan usually has a good relationship with the third brother, and he is three years older, and he usually helps Wang Chong.

The second girl sometimes goes to Taixue to visit the third brother, and they come and go, and they know each other, and there is a trace of "abnormal" feelings. After Wang Ju learned about it, he didn't ask. After all, the second sister has already passed the age of twenty-eight, and now she is an "older unmarried girl" in twenty-nine, isn't it normal to have such a young love?

But with the arrival of these 300,000, Wang Ju will inevitably leave the capital, and he can also estimate where he will be transferred. If you are transferred to Gyeongju, it will most likely be a general judgment, or you will be transferred to Huanju and the security army, and you will be able to support the battle of Gyeongju from the side. And the possibility of Huanzhou is not as likely as that of the security army, first, Wang Ju grew up in the security army. is more familiar, this familiarity will use the transfer of troops, the second is closer to Dashun City, and the third is that Jing Sili is not very good in the security army.

However, when I left the capital this time, I didn't know when I would come back.

Therefore, Wang Ju secretly sent someone to inquire about this Gao Chuan's family background and his own personality. I wanted to decide on this matter.

"I'm afraid I'm not worthy ......," Takakawa muttered.

"If you don't think you're worthy, you're not worthy!" Wang Ju said decisively.

"I, I ......"

The second girl was so anxious that she wanted to stare at her.

"Second sister, step aside." Wang Ju shouted.

Erniu had to leave the living room, and Gao Chuan said again: "My family is not very good. ”

"What does it have to do with family? When I was engaged to my mother. It's just a poor boy who lives in a cave and rejoices in eating even a meal of meat, so am I ashamed to refuse this family business? ”

That can be compared to you, Takagawa said in his heart.

But it's also true.

Gao Chuan's ancestor was the deputy head of the Zhao Kuangyin Dynasty. The military system of the Song Dynasty was five levels: box, army, command, capital, and team, but what was really implemented was the command of the lower three levels. However, at the beginning of the Song Dynasty. These five-level establishments are indeed all stored in zài, and the carriages are all commanded, also known as the carriage heads. Owner. An army has jurisdiction over as few as five battalions, and as many as ten or twenty battalions of officers and soldiers, and its chief will be the commander of the military capital, also known as the commander or head of the army.

At the level of the head of the army, he is considered a relatively high general.

It can be from the hands of Song Taizong. The establishment of these two levels was gradually hollowed out, and the Gao family gradually came to an end. Gao Chuan's father is now only mixed with the position of an eight-rank military attaché, and he is an alternate officer.

It's not a poor family. But it can only be regarded as a medium household. At least it is far from being comparable to the current Wang family.

Of course, if Gao Chuan can be named on the gold list, it is another matter.

"That, that...... Then I'll climb high. ”

Wang Ju's face began to soften.

Why did Wang Ju inquire, this character is very important, especially in the Song Dynasty, it was a time of sticking to women, guiding some young men who had given birth to good skins, specializing in cheating marriages to get dowries. If you don't inquire well, if the second sister encounters this kind of person, it will not only make the world laugh off their big teeth, but it will also be a heavy blow to the second sister.

The result of the inquiry is better, then there is another thing left, as a man, at least you have to have courage and responsibility, so as soon as Wang Ju came up, he forced to ask. If Gao Chuan continues to be in a position, this family business will be over.

"But I have a few conditions."

"Ming Gong, please command."

"First of all, you have to get through the trick."

The test is not so easy, but Gao Chuan is in Taixue, unlike Wang Ju in Yanzhou, there are many superior conditions, such as there are many learned professors, for example, there are many talented students who can communicate, for example, there are many books to read. Moreover, there are many places in the capital to solve the test, as long as Gao Chuanken works hard, it is difficult to take the test in the central province, but it is not too difficult to solve the test.

If Gao Chuan doesn't even have this hatred, then this family business is meaningless.

And after a delay, the second sister is also over twenty years old, and at that time, Prince Cheng can also relax his heart.

"I promise." Takakawa puffed out his chest and said.

"The second requirement, you must continue to maintain your current ethics in the future, and you must not do anything wrong, and I don't have many relatives in the world, you must treat my second sister well, otherwise I will forcibly let you leave at any time."

"I promise."

"Then be it, you go back and ask your family to ask the matchmaker to hand over the grass post."

"That's it?"

"What else do you want, even if I bring it up, can you do it?"

"Whoa," Takakawa almost jumped for joy.

The two families are very low-key grass posts, Wang Ju is low-key in fact, and the Gao family is nervous, but the detailed posts are not down, Wang Ju is still continuing to observe, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, God knows if Gao Chuan can continue to maintain it in the future?

But this family affair immediately attracted attention.

The two are too mismatched.

Wang Ju wants to have a future, he wants money and money, and the second girl is beautiful, otherwise Zhao Eighteen and Zhao Zongxuan would not come to the door for their son to ask for marriage.

In the Song Dynasty, there were unsuitable family affairs, such as Yan Shu marrying his daughter to Fu Bi, but at that time, Fu Bi had long been famous, and the rich family was so poor that only money was left. Li Changling married his daughter to Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan had nothing, but at that time, Fan Zhongyan was a jinshi, if Fan Zhongyan didn't get a jinshi, could Li Changling marry his daughter? Du Yan is a homeless man, but the Xiangli family married their daughter to Du Yan. However, don't be mistaken, it's not marrying, it's Du Yan's door-to-door involvement!

But what can Gao Chuan and the Gao family have?

Although the two families just made a grass post, it aroused the curiosity of countless people.

Even Gao Taotao and Zhao Ji's mother and son became interested and summoned Wang Ju to the palace to inquire.

Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty." Wechen said before that the root of the country's ills is hereditary. The disadvantages of hereditary inheritance are fundamentally in Enyin, and there is one more, joint relatives. ”

Don't talk about Han Qi, it's that Bao Qingtian still played with Wen Yanbo, the powerful minister at the time.

"Affinity and officialdom. More than sixty percent of the powerful scholars and doctors were hanged together, and at least eighty percent of the ministers of the northern faction were hanged together, and Jiefu changed the law, which hurt the interests of some powerful people, so there were many voices of opposition. ”

This is not for Zhao Ji, but for Gao Tao, who is sitting behind the curtain.

Gao Tao said in a low voice: "Who can stop this?" ”

At most, two in-laws can't be in charge of the two governments or the imperial history platform at the same time, but can they issue an edict so that the ministers don't associate with each other?

"yes. And saving zài is reasonable. ”

"Is it reasonable to save zài?" Zhao Ji said strangely.

"When Persia returned to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty placed the six major governors of Yueshi, Xiuxian, Kunxu, Shufeng, Tiaozhi and Persia in Persia on the south side of the Wuhu River, but did not send officials to manage it. Send soldiers to guard, and then sit back and watch the Great Eclipse swallow Persia, why? ”

"It's too far." Zhao said.

It was indeed too far, as far as the territory of later Iran, and only a stone's throw away from the Arabian Gulf.

"It's too far away to manage. So in antiquity. It was the system of waiting, which was far more backward then than it is now. Even Yao Shunyu Tang does not have the ability to directly control the whole country. ”

"This ......" Zhao Ji was very suspicious.

"陛xià. Was there a Koto plough at that time? Was there Champa rice at that time? Even wheat was brought in from outside. Please believe that the times are progressing, and the further you go, the more developed you become. However, by the time of the Warring States period, technological progress, productivity increased, exchanges increased, and there was already a trend towards great unification. This is the foundation of Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms. It's just that the Qin Dynasty ignored the resentment of the people of the six countries and imposed tyranny, so Qin died. If the Qin Dynasty had been benevolent, there might really have been Qin IV, Qin V, Qin X, and Qin II. After all, the great unification will not produce the endless wars and chaos brought about by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, Han Gaozu banned the candidates, and only set up the descendants surnamed Liu as kings, even so, when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had a rebellion of the seven kings. ”

"But if there was no system of Han Gaozu, the story of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty banned the king with the same surname, and then Wang Mang was produced." Zhao said.

"Your Majesty, there are perfect things in the world, and there are advantages and disadvantages. Yes, together with the surname Wang, it was also banned, so that Wang Mang could codify the country. However, His Majesty can remember the story of the Western Jin Dynasty, where the kings had the power to have soldiers in their hands, and then the Rebellion of the Eight Kings occurred. If there is no rebellion of the eight kings, how can there be five chaos? Subsequently, how much turmoil did the Northern and Southern Dynasties lead to because of this, and even the destruction of the country? Please remember that there is only one sun, and if there are two, the country will be in chaos! ”

Zhao Ji was speechless.

"Weichen said that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is no king with a different surname and a king with the same surname, and the power is controlled by the king alone, but Your Majesty, can I ask which person can rule the world without relying on ministers?"

Zhao Ji shook his head.

Therefore, we can only rely on ministers, civil ministers and military generals, or relatives, or eunuchs. However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no imperial examination, only a small number of civil talents were allocated by the department such as Juliang Fangzheng, and the remaining officials were mostly selected and appointed. Enyin is hereditary, and hereditary power and wealth are concentrated in the magnates, so there is merger. The annexation of gate valves, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and the interference of eunuchs in politics directly led to the decline and destruction of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, the rise of the gate valve was not immediately corrected, but it was aggravated during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even the Xianbei Northern Wei had to give in to the Han gate valve, and Song Gaozu (Liu Yu) also had to bow to the gate valve. Born in a first-class family, even if he is a nerd, he is also a first-class talent. was born in a Jiupin Hanmen, even a character like Song Gaozu was also shamed by the upper class. But when the real dragon gives birth to the dragon, and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, if so, where did Emperor Jin Hui, the descendants of Du Fu and Li Bai have produced a few poets? ”

So the Sui and Tang dynasties launched the imperial examination, but the Sui and Tang imperial examinations were imperfect, and it was an open-book system, which did not have a heavy impact on this hereditary lineage, and the gate valve continued to exist. Majesty, is the fall of the Tang Dynasty really entirely the fault of the Anshi Rebellion? The mistake is that Huang Chao rebelled. The reason why Huang Chao rebelled was because of the merger of the gate lords and magnates, and the ordinary people were struggling to make a living. As Tang Taizong said, the people can carry the boat, and they can also overturn the boat. The Tang Dynasty gained power when the people rebelled at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and also perished when the people rebelled. ”

This is the meaning of the imperial examination, to win over a large number of poor children and to impact this kind of hereditary lineage.

Wang Ju can't say it, that will cause a lot of controversy.

"Then to our dynasty, Taizu Taizong was still a grace, after all, the founding of the country was unstable at that time, and the meritorious ministers needed to be rewarded and wooed, so that the country could move towards stability. However, more and more attention was paid to the imperial examination, and the open-roll system was changed to a mid-roll system. I believe that if Li Taibai was born in our dynasty, he would definitely be able to enter high school. ”

"This is not enough, after all, compared to the children of ministers, the education conditions of children from poor families are too poor. Just like Weichen, if you don't get lucky enough to worship your teacher, how can you get it? Therefore, Taizong issued many edicts to ban the quota of the imperial examination for the children of the powerful and used it to raise the number of poor people. But what about now? ”

"Actually, it's very simple, now that the generals have fallen, and the eunuchs and clans have avoided it, who do you expect to govern the country? Only with the help of Wenchen. Therefore, the real ancestral family law has been spit out from the mouth of the scholar, and it has long been unrecognizable, and that person dares to propose the imperial examination for the children of the powerful to avoid this ancestral family law? Therefore, the hereditary line is becoming stricter and stricter, and there are more and more people who are related to each other. This is what Wechen said is reasonable. ”

The right is tilted in favor of scholars, so can the policy not be tilted towards scholars?

"Wechen is not so clear and deliberately refuses to marry the powerful, but he will not deliberately marry the powerful for the sake of wealth. If the second sister likes it, the other party's character is not bad, even if it is Gao Chuan, what does it matter? ”

Wang Ju not only talked about the reasons, but also told many truths.

Maybe this conversation made Gao Tao and Zhao Ji's mother and son like it, or maybe everyone was worried about Li Fugui's talent, and then Wang Ju received an unexpected order from him to replace Li Fugui as the new governor of Gyeongju. (To be continued)
