Section 896 The Wind Rises in the South (3)

Today, the power of the examination is gradually known.

It is like a hurricane, starting from Guanzhong and gradually sweeping the world.

Some people praise it, while others hate it and curse it.

The local gentry landlords are also seriously polarized.

There are those who cheer and throw themselves into their arms, as if they have found the meaning of life, and there are those who are afraid of it and refuse to give in.

In the process, Yuan Ang discovered a strange phenomenon.

Basically, those who cheer and sing praises are all rising stars, especially the local scholars and heroes who have risen since the Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty.

And those who cursed and resisted were all scholars with a long history, even from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This made Yuan Ang understand, why is this?

Before the examination system, the Han family relied on the inspection system to select officials.

This probation system, probation and probation, all of them are selected by the real elite, which is unique in ten thousand.

These people are full of talent and character.

Moreover, they are basically children of the family.

For example, the Shangshu of the current dynasty ordered Ji Di, and the Ji family was an official for nine generations, and the time he was an official even spanned the Qin and Han dynasties.

It can be directly traced back to the Warring States period.

At that time, Zhuxia was still the world of the nobles of the Qing Doctor.

Scholars are just the names of the common people.

Such a family, cultivating offspring, is all aimed at dominating the world, or at least the goal of sealing the territory.

But now, he doesn't care about 3721, and mixes the elites who dominate the world with the common people who come out of the wild road recklessly. It's all arranged to start with 100 koku (it used to be 400 koku, but it started last year. The starting point became a hundred stones...... )。

Although there is now a compromise with the nobles of the scholars, acquiescing to the preference of their children for their posts. Priority is given to promotion, and even acquiesced in their ability to mobilize the power of the family to protect them.

But the rules of the game have changed completely.

In the past, on the stage of the Han officialdom, there were only scholars, and they were also top scholars and military nobles.

Now, not only the scholars who used to be able to watch the theater only on the periphery can participate in the game, but they can also compete with the protagonists of the past. Even reckless heroes who were born in the wild and relied on self-taught talents can enter the market to bet.

A zero-sum game has become a multi-party game.

The rules and order of the game can be delineated by a few top students talking to themselves.

The rising class of scholars and landlords were ecstatic to find that they could overtake!

And the original protagonist can only watch these past little brothers overtake.

Hell it if you can feel comfortable in your heart!

For example, the current county guard of Nanyang County, and the current lord and captain. Basically, they are low-class gentlemen who have never been able to participate in the game in the past.

But now, they have the power to participate in politics.

What's even more terrifying is that almost all those who are dissatisfied with the examination are unable to do anything about it.

Because, in fact, they only account for only one in 100,000 of the world. Even fewer people.

The emerging scholars of the poor family account for 99% of the world's population.

Moreover, they come from all classes.

From the common people to the emerging landlord and merchant class.

The door has opened. Want to exclude them? No way!

Before you know it, the original protagonists of the game. Finish.

They are no longer so important, or even insignificant.

The loss and pain of the heart. Outsiders can't imagine it.

Just like Yuan An.

A few years ago, he had been kicked out of the court by his sworn enemy.

But with his connections and network, he is still active in the political arena.

But last year, during today's inventory, he was expelled from Chang'an, left in this Jiangdu, and ignored him.

This was unthinkable in the past.

Because since Taizong, he Yuan Ang has been active in the political arena by relying on his wisdom and talent, as well as his long-sleeved dancing.

Whoever becomes emperor relies on his insight and wisdom as a counselor.

Even if the emperor no longer likes him, he needs him.

However, today, this law has been broken.

To be precise, today, there is no longer a need to rely on people.

For him, Yuan Ang is gone, and there are Zhang Ang and Li Ang.

Anyway, there are tens of thousands of scholars in the exam, and if you choose one out of 10,000, you can always choose a replacement.

Even if you can't, you can still win by numbers.

Can one Yuan Ang be worth the wisdom of a hundred people?

The answer is no.

And today, in Lantai, there is a Shangshu team of more than 500 people.

He was specially given a military counselor, planning government affairs, deducing policies, and supervising implementation.

There are also embroidered guards hidden under the water, who are ubiquitous as his eyes, monitoring every move of the government and the opposition.

After the scholars, the military nobles also faced the same impact.

The cavalry unit completely replaced the old infantry and crossbow soldiers and became the main force of the Han family.

In this battle of Mayi, almost all of the old princes and nobles only got some leftovers.

The new military aristocracy began to rise.

Yuan Ang can now foresee that in a few years, the old nobles who are still in the limelight will definitely encounter the current scholar and official family.

It's a pity that the current princes are just as ignorant as the scholars and doctors four years ago.

They are also immersed in today's preferential treatment and wooing.

Huaihua's promise of a fief of grace and a future feud made them so excited that they lost their ability to judge.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yuan Ang has foreseen their future.

When they are no longer important, no longer enough to be a force, no longer have an army.

They would also face the same awkward situation as today's doctors.

What's even more terrifying is that they will also lose the ability to resist.

Even the power of protest will be deprived!

Today, this is how he is transforming the country and the world step by step according to his rhythm.

He tightened the rope step by step.

But his prey, before the end comes. I'm afraid they're still having fun.

However......

"What does this have to do with me?" Yuan Ang raised his head and looked at Liu Yan.

Back thirty years ago. He already understands a truth: only by following the victor can he live. in order to continue to be glorious.

Keeping company with losers, in any case, is a mistake.

Not only will it harm the family, but it will also leave a legacy of infamy.

Just like those Southern soldiers who died bravely when the princes and ministers staged a coup d'état, holding weapons and shouting 'Defend the Son of Heaven, defend Sheji', and Zhulu's cronies who were corpsed in Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.

They. Isn't he a good man, isn't he a hero?

But if it fails, it is natural that it will be trampled on 10,000 feet by someone, and it will never be able to turn over!

Also, Zhou Bo, what a hero.

It's not that if you say you're going to be expelled, you're going to be detained.

How many people can know the bitterness in the sentence 'I know the value of the jailer today'?

And he, Yuan An, has always been good at speculation.

From the time of the princes and ministers in tandem. He keenly found that Zhulu was a rice bucket, and it was difficult to become a big tool, so he decisively turned back. Went undercover.

Then, when Taizong began to want to take power, he was the first to respond. Give Zhou Bo an ugly look in person.

Even though Zhou Bo has always been kind to him and regards him as a friend.

Also as now.

When Yuan Ang found out. One ship looked like it was already sinking.

Of course, he was not going to be stupid enough to stay on this boat and wait for death.

Of course, he would have tried to jump onto another, more sturdy ship, and spend his time watching the wrecked man struggling overboard.

Today's world. The general trend of examination has been achieved, and the general trend has been achieved today.

Want to reverse, unless you go back in time.

But that's not possible.

In this case, we must follow the general trend and not be the ridiculous praying mantis who tries to block the wheel of history.

But how do you adapt to the trend?

"Of course, it's to do what you want to do today...... Yuan Ang said in his heart.

He Yuan Ang served the three generations of the old Liu family.

I really know the temperament of these guys very thoroughly.

Today, Gaozu Liu Bang, when facing Xiang Yu's pursuers, unceremoniously and without hesitation threw his wife, son and father to Xiang Yu.

When Xiang Yu threatened to cook Taigong, he said even more shamelessly: Please give me a bowl......

Emperor Taizong, who seems to love the people like a son, is really a saint.

But who knows, in order to take power, he first ruthlessly expelled Zhou Bo who supported him, and then forced the loyal Zhi Hou to death, and then found an excuse to knock down the dust of Song Chang, the Zhuangwu Marquis who made great contributions to him.

As a result, military power was thoroughly mastered.

The first emperor was not bad, although he reigned for only three years, but he cut off the princes' clans and showed no mercy.

As for today......

It can only be said that the blue is better than the blue.

"Legend has it that Emperor Gao found a volume of "Yang Zi" from the ruins of the Qin Palace...... "Yuan Ang speculated in his heart: "Now it seems that this rumor is true......"

Yang Zi is for me, not tired of things.

Isn't that the style of the old Liu family?

"Therefore, for the Liu family, affection is insignificant, and usefulness is the key......" Yuan Ang thought in his heart.

As the ancients said, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.

I want not to be hidden from the bow and cook the dogs.

can only desperately prove himself to the emperor.

How to prove it?

One is internal, helping the emperor to smooth out what he wants to be smoothed.

One is external, helping the emperor to do what he does.

At this moment, in Yuan An's view, what he wants to do today is nothing more than two things.

First, the internal power, centralized power, to truly self-respect, in a word, as the law of the world.

Second, to conquer foreign countries, open up territories, and serve guests from all over the world, and all countries have concubines.

Yuan Ang is just a civilian official, and although the skills of leading troops to fight are pointed, they are not full.

He is self-aware of this.

Therefore, he only invited his old friend Ji Xin to go south.

But that's inside......

This long-sleeved dance and sowing discord is his specialty.

"I don't dare to interfere in ......politics if I want the East Palace today", Yuan Ang has clearly recognized it.

When the first emperor collapsed, the empress dowager once came to the dynasty to weigh the system.

But Jinshang insisted on grinding with water, and took back the authority from the East Palace bit by bit.

Even so, the East Palace still has a huge influence.

In legal theory, the East Palace can still dictate to the West Palace.

The old grandmother wants to admonish her grandson, will the grandson still dare to resist?

I can only obediently listen to the training.

However, there are signs that today's patience is running out.

The current situation is the result of the exhaustion of Imagami's patience.

Otherwise, although the Son of Heaven has promised not to interfere in the selection of monarchs between Zhao and Chu.

However, he can go and discuss with the East Palace, Chen Zhi knows the reason with his feelings, and the East Palace is not stupid, as long as the emperor makes it clear to him, of course he will know what will happen if the princes' kingdoms have been vacant for a long time.

Just like when he Yuan Ang entered the palace and told the old lady the story of Zheng Guo, didn't the old lady immediately understand? (To be continued.) )
