Registration for the imperial examination is not required.

Without the recommendation of local or central officials, you can register and take the exam. After a highly qualified exam and a relatively tragic deportation system, you can choose the best officials who are suitable for officials.

The examination is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of Rites Xu Jing serves as the chief examiner to prepare for the first imperial examination next year, which is the eighth year of Yande.

The rules are adopted to adopt the old system of the talent ceremony held by Yecheng that year. The start time of the imperial examination is set on the first day of March every year, which is when spring is warm and flowers bloom.

It's time to start preparing now.

Everything was settled, and the emperor forcibly passed the order to abolish the imperial examination with absolute power and prestige.

This time, the emperor did not make any compromise with anyone, and any request was strictly approved by the emperor, and it was promulgated nationwide and implemented nationwide.

The meeting of Da Chaohui ended here, and the inexplicably excited group of civil officials, the extremely depressed group of scholars and bureaucrats, and the poor officials sandwiched in the middle each left.

They each have their own thoughts, their own ideas, their own thoughts and preparations.

The core decision-making level was left behind.

Including the heads of major official offices and their deputy, the nine ministers, Kong Xian, who did not belong to them, and Jia Kui.

These people formed the core decision-making level of the Wei Empire, and their experienced decision-making brains are all the best among people.

Faced with their emotions, Guo Peng comforted him.

"This time, your efforts are crucial to pass the resolution of the imperial examination. You have stabilized the court and the government for me. You are the heroes. You can choose your own two sons and be appointed as the official position without taking the imperial examination."

The people in the decision-making circle looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor left a hole for them, the senior officials, so that they could enjoy the privileged arrangement with confidence, thus drawing a line with those unlucky ones.

After experiencing the storm of His Majesty the Emperor, they were unwilling to accept His Majesty's iron fist again.

So no matter how dissatisfied they are in their hearts, they must endure it and suppress their emotions and not let them get out of control.

However, at present, His Majesty the Emperor seems to plan to leave a way for them to walk better and smoother evenly under the imperial examination system.

After experiencing the iron fist, this date is so sweet, so tempting, so beautiful.

For Mr. Guo, it doesn't matter if he gives up this little benefit.

Because once the imperial examination is formed and becomes an official who is the same as the official who is filial and honest, the chain of contempt among officials will naturally form.

Only those who take the scientific examination path are the best officials, officials who can assume great responsibilities, and those who take the shady roads are useless officials.

Rules such as unspoken rules will be formed spontaneously in the officialdom.

For example, the existence of Shujishi in the Ming Dynasty, only the top three in the first class and a few lucky people in the election year can become Shujishi.

If you want to enter the cabinet in the future and become a cabinet master, you must be a Shujishi, otherwise you will not be able to enter the cabinet.

Shujishi is naturally the top three or two top students with the best scientific test scores in previous years, so he naturally formed a argument that [education first].

You must do well in the exam before you can reach the peak of your ministers.

Therefore, only a social consensus that all things are inferior can be formed and continue to be high in reading.

In such an environment, can you, the remnants of the scholarly era cause any storm?

As long as Mr. Guo takes a little guidance, he will use the top three first and top ten second places in the imperial examinations in previous years. Soon, the atmosphere of imperial examinations and academic qualifications will be formed, and the glory and theory of bloodline of the gentry will be quickly abandoned.

The chain of contempt for scientific examination results among officials can despise you to death.

It’s better to be in charge of county officials now!

In the era of major scientific and technological examinations, even if your father is the chief minister of the cabinet, the highest minister, and the most inferior to ten thousand people, if you have no fame and reputation and are not a Shujishi, then you will not want to enter the cabinet, you will not want to be recognized and accepted by regular scientific and technological examination officials, and you will not want to grasp the highest authority.

You will be despised forever.

This is the best place for imperial examinations compared to the recommendations.

Even if it is rigid, even if it is nepotism, even if it is unreasonable, its fairness is far from comparable.

Bloodline can be inherited, but test scores cannot be inherited.

Mr. Guo wants to manage the imperial examination system, protect it, protect it, let it grow as soon as possible, and promote the wave of studying changing destiny in the whole society.

Binding study, exams and being an official is formed to form a chain of chains so that the lower-level people can pass the exam and enter the officialdom, thereby changing their destiny.

Large-scale promotion of such thoughts will completely change the atmosphere of the times and wipe out the soil on which the aristocratic people rely for development.

So, the only thing that is lacking at the moment is the "launch" of mature printing technology.

However, before the printing technology was released, Mr. Guo still needed these top elites who had been won and controlled in the center to contribute some effort to him to deal with the people who were ready to move in those places.

So slowly, and not to produce the results of printing for the time being, so that these elites can feel a little relieved.

It made them realize that without printing technology, the speed of cultural dissemination by hand alone was still too slow, and common people could not rely on their number advantages to overwhelm the existence of scholars.

So at that time, even if the imperial court promotes the imperial examination, scholars will still have an absolute advantage.

Such a situation will not be changed for a while.

Stay calm for a while and don’t make them too nervous. Let them accept it themselves and get used to the existence of the imperial examinations.

As long as scholars can continue to gain power, it is still very simple for scholars to do what they want after Mr. Guo dies in the future.

Relying on such psychological advantages, these people can continue to use it and continue to shine until the imperial examination system can cultivate the first batch of talents from the bottom.

After that, Mr. Guo began to deal with the belated rebound.

Among the local county magistrates, some voices clearly opposed the imperial examination system.

Without exception, they all believe that the imperial examination system cannot replace the imperial examination system, otherwise it will shake the hearts of the people.

The hearts of the people.

In response, Mr. Guo selected a group of their substitutes from some excellent county magistrates and excellent cabinet officials.

Without exception, they are all children from poor families and children of villains.

The first child of a concubine who served as the position of 2,000-stone county magistrate was also born.

His name is Wang Chao, a native of Yuzhou. He was previously the magistrate of Lantian County, Jingzhao Yin, Yongzhou.

Soon, the county magistrates of Hedong County, Henan Yin and Hongnong County around Luoyang were first ordered to be dismissed by Guo Peng.

So Wang Chao was directly appointed as the prefect of Hongnong County by Guo Peng, becoming the first two thousand stone county magistrate in history to be born in a muddy manner.

There was basically no discussion in the court.

Scared.

Then, the county magistrates of more than ten counties including Yingchuan County in Yanzhou, Nanyang County and Nan County in Jingzhou, Guangling County in Xuzhou, Donghai County in Qingzhou, and other ten counties were directly removed by Guo.

It was replaced by a small number of children of scholars and a large number of poor families and concubines.

This wave of replacement was replaced by five children from common people's families, whose average age was over forty years old.

There was no way. I started late and followed Guo’s success. I still went back and forth in the village for seven or eight years, and stayed in the Imperial Academy for two or three years, until Guo thought they opened up the channels for promotion.

Their ability to become the prefect of two thousand stones at this age has made history.

However, with the previous example of the common people entering various departments of the central court, even if they hold two thousand stones, no one can say that it is wrong.

Being able to express opposition and protest in your heart is already the greatest manifestation of the courage of the scholars who have been severely suppressed.

Most of the governments at the county level at the county level are poor officials and civil officials, and the county prefect does not hold other powers except administrative power.

Therefore, the personnel changes at the county level did not shake the administrative foundation of the Wei Empire at all. They were successfully replaced and did not cause any trouble.

Of course, they should not want to learn from the predecessors of the late Eastern Han Dynasty and raise troops to support the king.

The reactions of the provincial-level officials are what Guo attaches great importance to.

Among state-level officials, Guo naturally has a basic foundation.

For example, Guo Rui, the governor of Yanzhou, Xiahou Dun, the governor of Mozhou, Man Chong, the governor of Yizhou, Mi Zhu, the governor of Qingzhou, Han Hao, the governor of Jizhou, etc., these will never be squinting.

Therefore, they also expressed their support for the imperial examination system to replace the examination system.

Then there are the scholars and governors of the former official Guo family, Mao Jie, the governor of Liangzhou who was promoted by Guo, Chen Gong, the governor of Yongzhou, Lu Su, the governor of Pingzhou, Gu Yong, the governor of Yangzhou, etc.

Although they are former officials of the Guo family, they also have the identities of scholars. If they oppose such a proposal, Guo would not find it strange.

They only think that their political awareness is not high enough to continue to take on important responsibilities.

They all seemed to understand the emperor's heart, so they did not disappoint Guo. When the county magistrates opposed the operation of the imperial examination system in a large manner, they chose to support it.

For these senior officials, the main psychology is to worry about losing their current vested interests, and other ideas must be the ones behind.

It is not worth it to finally win such a high status in the Guo-Wei regime and gain power, but it has to lose it because it sings against the emperor.

Having said that, losing the status advantage of scholars is also a big concern.

So they finally chose to support the emperor. After all, power and status are the most important. Without power and status and only a scholar, it may not be a benefit.

Of course, the more important thing is that their power is incomplete. They can do less than the group of scholars in Luoyang who can use strikes and school to threaten the emperor.

Like the hesitant county magistrates, they should be grateful for their indecision and their final support.

Because soon, Guo dispatched the Luoyang Imperial Army to catch more than 5,000 troublemakers in one go spread the news all over the world.

Quite a lot of people.
