Chapter 1950 Policy strategy, exquisite and eight-sided


    Fei Qian admires Guo Jia very much, and also admires Xun Yu.


    This has nothing to do with whether it is a hostile relationship, but pure admiration and appreciation for talents.


    Guo Jia''s talents are biased towards military affairs, while Xun Yu''s talents are biased toward internal affairs.


    It is not easy for Xun Yu to be able to achieve the current level.


    Any policy, normally speaking, is the product of the combined effects of the current situation and characters, and it also targets a broad group of people. Fei Qian is more aware of this than Xun Yu and others.


    Fei Qian''s introduction of the examination system was not achieved overnight, nor was it purely accidental, but was guided when the academy was first established.


    From the day of its establishment, Shoushan Academy has formulated a concept similar to the midterm and final exams of later schools, which is called "School Palace University and Junior Competition", and students who do well in the exam can get certain honors and treatment, such as honorary titles, improved accommodation conditions, etc., and those students in the Academy have been gradually affected by this system from the beginning, so when Fei Qian first started the examination system outside the Academy in Pingyang , Most of the candidates who participated in the examination were also students of the academy, so they naturally accepted the setting of evaluating according to the level of grades after the examination, and passed the initial transition time smoothly.


    And this one, or, does Xun Yu have a foundation for this step?


    After three or four exams, Fei Qian expanded the so-called "school size ratio" into a talent examination system for the entire Shanxi political group, and the transition was natural. Because Feiqian''s territory has expanded and there are more gentry people in various places, isn''t it a matter of course to expand the recruitment area and accommodate as many gentry children as possible?


    Does Xun Yu have this point?


    At the same time, because the major gentry clans were still accustomed to the examination system at the beginning, the people who came to participate in the examination were generally from poor families, who had no chance to obtain higher and better positions in the normal way. Therefore, these people dare not, and are not qualified to dare to oppose Feiqian''s examination system. They wish to climb up quietly and happily obtain the official seal of authority.


    Therefore, when Fei Qian first expanded the scope of the examination, he was also very calm.


    Until I saw those humble guys climbed up one by one, and got big or small positions, and then naturally couldn''t sit still, and then added that Fiqian opened Enke, and the temporarily opened Enke, can Can those who received the news in time and rushed to Chang''an immediately, from poor families, or poor gentry children?


    These days, it’s not like you can buy a ticket or get on the train without buying a ticket if you go out and find a station...


    Therefore, among the gentry disciples who hurriedly came from other places for reference, a large part of them are from good families and well-off people. Compared with those from poor families, the urgency and fighting spirit of these people are naturally higher. After all, if these children follow the usual rules of the Han Dynasty’s talent investigation system, there is a high chance that they will be selected as officials. It’s like getting the "recommendation qualification" from birth, so how can they work hard? Study hard?


    So it is natural that there will be children of the noble family who fail in the exam. If you don''t do well in the exam, the face you boasted so much that it is higher than the sky will naturally lose your face...


    Fei Qian''s original plan was that this gap would gradually ferment after one or two times before it exploded, but what he didn''t expect was that someone detonated this hidden danger for Fei Qian in advance.


    Does Xun Yu have any of these preliminary foreshadowing and development?


    Xun Yu didn''t have any.


    Then, is it true that Xun Yu has become a reckless person and hastily launched the so-called "examination system"?


    Actually, it is not.


    Xun Yu also had his own reasons for doing this.


    In history, the "Nine-rank Zhongzheng System", many people think that it was the peace between Cao Pi and the gentry, in exchange for the support of the gentry for Cao Pi''s ascension to the throne. It was developed under the conditions of people''s migration during the war, and it was also produced to adapt to the political characteristics of Cao Wei''s early stage. It is related to Cao Pi, but not necessarily related.


    Because of the very beginning of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the selection of officials by the method of rank began with Cao Cao and has become a system. "Three Kingdoms · Wu Zhi · Lu Su Biography" records, "Now that Su welcomes Cao, Cao should pay back the township party with Su, and appreciate his fame and status, and he will not lose Cao''s engagement." Riding in a cart, following the officials and soldiers, and tired of officials, so you don''t lose the state and county. The general welcomes the parade and wants to return home in peace. 』


    That is to say, in fact, on the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao had already implemented the substantive system of "Xiangdang Grade", but after Cao Pi took office as King of Wei, he confirmed the name of "Nine Ranks Zhongzheng System".


    So is it true that Cao Cao and Cao Pi used this "nine-rank Zhongzheng system" to gain the support of the gentry?


    On the contrary, it is a moderate road of reform that Cao Cao and Cao Pi obtained in the struggle with the gentry. Although this system eventually promoted the elites, the original intention was not just for the elites. The nine-rank Zhongzheng system was not recognized by the high-level gentry children at the beginning. It is very simple. Is it human nature?


    Thus, in history, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system created by two generations of Cao Cao and Cao Pi cannot be equated with Cao Pi''s ascension to the throne. Although it has political factors, it is also a reform and exploration of the court''s talent system to a certain extent.


    Now Xun Yu and Chen Qun have introduced the "Kaozheng System", which is similar to the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System", which is a deliberate internal and external consideration. Internally, Xun Yu must control the outflow of talents, and externally, Xun Yu must also add obstacles to Fei Qian.


    So, the final result is that Xun Yu introduced a "Kaozheng System" that is similar to the "Nine Ranks Zhongzheng System", but somewhat similar to Fei Qian''s "Examination System"...


    The examination system relies more on the "examination" of the local township parties and counties for evaluation, which determines that the children of the gentry must stay in the local area, and naturally it is impossible to go to Chang''an. At the same time, the examination system does not completely overthrow the original recommendation system, but as a supplement to it, it provides a window for some poor children who could not even find a recommender, so as to appease the restlessness of these people and stabilize the local rule. , which played a very important role in the stable development of the Cao regime after the turmoil.


    Cao Cao has now reached the point where he can’t change it. With the expansion of the territory, there are more and more gentry, and the Yingchuan faction, Jizhou faction, etc. are all vying for interests.


    Cao Cao wants new blood...


    But therein lies the problem. The key to a policy is not whether it is good or bad, but its implementation. Originally, Lao Cao didn’t have many places left, and he still wanted to give it to a poor family, so naturally the cake was much smaller...


    It’s like the wine in front of me, it looks good, but what…


    Tumi is a flower species of Rosaceae. It is also an ancient flower. At least in the Han Dynasty, Tumi already existed, and many people even wrote poems about it. Lu You once said: "The spring and cold flowers in Wu are getting late, and they come to pick incense all the way back to the north." 』


    It can be seen from the verses that, in the concept of many ancient people, tea mites bloom at the end of spring and early summer, and after withering, it means the end of the flowering season, so it has the meaning of ending.


    Therefore, Fei Qian pointed to the wine. The wine named "Tumi Fragrance" actually had a very clear meaning. It meant that Xun Yu''s actions were like Tumi. The good times didn''t last long, and at the same time, he also used this to tell Guo Jia that even if Xun Yu sent "Kaozheng" to Chang''an, it was too late, the flowering period was coming to an end, and Feiqian was about to start bearing fruit.


    When Fei Qian pointed out to Guo Jia the tea-flavored wine, with Guo Jia''s wisdom, he immediately thought of this, especially when he saw the tea-flower petals floating on the wine, he felt helpless.


    This is the meaning of the first layer of Fei Qian, and then it is over? not at all.


    Tea wine is not brewed entirely from tea, but a spice called "wood fragrance" is first ground into fine powder, put into the wine, and then sealed. When it is time to drink, the seal is opened again. The fragrance is overflowing, and at this time, the tea leaves are sprinkled on the wine surface. After mixing, it smells like the fragrance of tea flowers. It is almost difficult to distinguish whether the woody fragrance has turned into the wine fragrance, or the wine fragrance has turned into the floral fragrance. …


    Scents mix, and so do people.


    The taste will change, and the people will change even more.


    Especially when different minds are mixed together.


    『Do you know Fengxiao? ”Fei Qian said with a faint smile, “The Son of Heaven pardoned me, so I got pregnant…”


    Guo Jia finally let out a long sigh and remained silent.


    Smart people don’t need to talk too much, but it’s useless for stupid people to talk too much.


    Guo Jia knew what Fei Qian''s words meant.


    The current Cao regime is not so strong anymore, so in the end Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others chose to mix it with all their strength, just like this altar of tea-flavored wine, although it smells good, it seems to be quite good to drink Okay, but if we go deeper, is the wine more fragrant in the end, is the wood more fragrant, or is the tea more fragrant?


    On the surface, it seems that Xun Yu took advantage of this empress Cao''s pregnancy to create an amnesty to coerce Fei Qian to pardon the troubled students and harvest the hearts of the nobles for the Cao family, but in turn, Fei Qian can also see another aspect Even Cao Cao''s internal conflicts are so acute that they may not be able to wait another ten months...


    Fei potential can see, Guo Jia can also think of it, so Guo Jia is sweating and showing fear.


    Fei Qian also sighed slightly, and then picked up the wine bowl to drink.


    On the one hand, it is because of Cao Cao’s personality, and on the other hand, it is also the need to actually hold power, so Cao Cao cannot, and cannot, delegate power, and this method of bringing all the power to the Cao family and the Xiahou family will become more and more powerful. There is an irreconcilable conflict with the big family of the gentry!


    Just in Yanzhou, Cao Cao already had a border incident, and now Cao Cao’s base has expanded to Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and even a part of Jingzhou. Any position of greater weight in the local gentry will inevitably make these gentry members extremely dissatisfied.


    On the other hand, Fei Qian, even the Yang family, who somewhat had a grudge against his teacher, Fei Qian gave him the position of official. This horse bone is really golden and shining, hanging in front of the Shandong gentry, how could anyone not see it? Can''t see clearly?


    Guo Jia felt a little shuddering.


    Guo Jia didn’t know if Feiqian had foreseen what was going on when he left Yang Xiu as Luoyang Ling. If it was true, the Feiqian in front of him was really terrifying...


    However, can Cao Cao, like Fei Qian, give those gentry the position and authority they crave?


    Cao Cao can''t give it.


    can''t afford it either.


    Guo Jia is very aware of this.


    Because Cao Cao and Fei Qian are different, apart from the differences in personality and family, there is another important reason, that is, Liu Xie is also on Cao Cao''s back. Cao Cao can only suppress other gentry clans, and this is the only way to go, because if other gentry clans get up, the Cao clan will collapse immediately.


    Empress Cao''s amnesty is that Xun Yu had to take this opportunity to deepen the connection between Cao Cao and Liu Xie, and it also had quite a lot of additional effects. The same is true for the implementation of the examination system.


    Under the fragrance of tea and flowers, there is the suppressed aroma of wine and wood.


    Just pressing it down doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist anymore.


    However, what makes Guo Jia feel very scary is that even Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others tried their best to make such a move and exhausted their brains to make such a system reform. In Feiqian''s place, it is just like a jar of wine. It can be called beautiful, but it is not a peerless wine, nor is it a difficult wine.


    Like tea flowers, beauty is beautiful, not heavenly fragrance.


    Guo Jia was speechless.


    Xie Que Tumi, the moon is as bright as water.


    Guo Jia picked up the wine bowl and drank it down.


    The wine flowed down his throat, only feeling cold to the bone.


    Feiqian nodded, stood up, and said with a slight smile: "Then ask Feng Xiao to take up the post of Xijing Examiner, how about it?" 』


    Guo Jia closed his eyes and didn''t speak, but his body trembled slightly, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye. When he opened his eyes again, Fei Qian and others had already left, leaving only the empty hall and courtyard, just like Guo Jia. At this moment, Jia''s heart is as empty...


    …（┭┮﹏┭┮）…


    Fei Qiancai didn''t care where Guo Jia''s heart was, he only wanted to get Guo Jia''s body... Cough, keep Guo Jia, after all, letting Guo Jia go back is almost equivalent to being an enemy. Therefore, it is impossible for Guo Jia to let go, and since Xun Yu has come up with a "examination system" released in the name of Liu Xie, it is naturally impossible for Fei Qian to express his opposition to Liu Xie. If the association''s imperial edict was not adopted, Guo Jia would simply turn into the so-called "Xijing Kaozheng" if he followed suit, which is undoubtedly the best way to block both the mouths of the top and the mouths of the bottom.


    Of course, there is still a mouth that needs to be blocked by Fei Qian.


    That''s the mouth about "amnesty".


    The "amnesty" introduced by Empress Cao is very interesting, and it is also a part of Xun Yu''s overall political layout. In addition to targeting Fei Qian, it also has some special functions.


    Sometimes, Fei Qian really has to admire Xun Yu. Even if he was in Xun Yu''s position, he might not be able to be a master of internal affairs like Xun Yu. It really can be so good, but Xun Yu is indeed very strong in achieving multiple goals at one stroke and taking care of many aspects.


    A seemingly simple "amnesty", in addition to the functions mentioned above, has some hidden effects on the internal Cao regime.


    One is in war.


    Just like in history, after Zhuge Liang passed away, Wei Yan and Yang Yi competed for merit. In the end, Wei Yan died. After Yang Yi returned to Chengdu, the Shu Kingdom immediately gave amnesty.


    Although there is no clear record in history, it is conceivable that the main targets of the amnesty should be the soldiers under Wei Yan.


    After defining Wei Yan as a rebel, his soldiers are strictly speaking rebels. But in fact, it doesn''t matter whether Wei Yan really rebelled, and these implicated soldiers are even more wronged. If the law is strictly followed, then these people must bear the responsibility. This is obviously unfair, but it cannot Therefore, the law was changed to make the so-called felony "rebellion" a dead letter, so at this time, the best way is amnesty.


    Emperor Adou declared that everyone was innocent, so except for Wei Yan''s family, everyone else was happy.


    The same is true now. Cao Cao annexed Yuan Shao and merged Jizhou. There must be many people who stood on the opposite side of Cao Cao for one reason or another. In order to unite the front to the greatest extent, let these former "opponents" To become a friendly army, it is natural to find a suitable reason for amnesty, and Empress Cao''s pregnancy is just right.


    Of course, this is just a coincidence. If Empress Cao is not pregnant, then some new things may appear, such as auspiciousness and other reasons.


    In addition, there is a relatively hidden role, which is to use the amnesty to make up for and correct some judicial deviations that have occurred under Cao Cao''s rule during this period of time, so as to alleviate internal conflicts.


    In ancient society, the judiciary was not independent, and torture was allowed. Under this premise, although unjust, false and wrongly decided cases cannot be said to be everywhere, they should be considered astonishing in number.


    Cao Cao gave all the power to the Cao family Xiahou, and all the personnel of the Cao family Xiahou can ensure that they are fair and just? When a person has power in his hands, will he use his power to treat his subordinates well and give them more benefits? Or will they use power to oppress subordinates, and more often punish subordinates?


    So naturally, among the judicial cases accumulated in various places since Cao Cao took power, I dare not say all, but there must be many of them who were tortured. Those so-called "most heinous" criminals may not really be guilty...


    Xun Yu is also aware of this, but he has no way to bring all these cases back for retrial and reverse the case for those who have wronged.


    The amnesty also invisibly prevents these conflicts from continuing to intensify.


    At the same time, amnesty can also be used to recall all kinds of deserters caused by the war, whether it is Yuan Shao''s, Cao Cao''s, or others. These deserters should have been sentenced, but now they can come back in a fair manner. . These guys who might have been transformed into bandits and bandits can now return to Cao Cao''s banner. On the one hand, they have increased their combat effectiveness, and at the same time, they have eliminated hidden dangers in society.


    Therefore, it can be seen that although Xun Yu''s military ability may not be as good as Guo Jia''s, his internal affairs handling and planning capabilities are worthy of being a top-notch adviser. I thought of it just by patting my head. I really should pat myself on the head.


    Now, Fei Qian is going to respond to Xun Yu''s "amnesty" is the person Sima Hui mentioned a few days ago, Pei Yuan, Pei Ziyuan...


    An important node of the Zhongzheng system is the establishment of the state Zhongzheng.


    The establishment of the state Zhongzheng was proposed by Sima Yi.


    So, let’s take a closer look.


    Perhaps Boss Cao was bullied by Fei Qian and became a small subject, which caused some readers to think that Xun Yu is a bitch, but what...


    The political background and historical role of the Zhongzheng system in the late Han Dynasty. The author has slightly referred to some documents, and he only puts forward one here. It is a personal one, and it may not be a correct guess. Don’t just take it as the truth...


    Of course, it may be true.


    It may be a bit confusing, but it is also the result of the author''s personal thinking...


    Everyone can also express their opinions, welcome to leave a comment in the comment area...


    After all, reading should not be a dead book.
