Ma Su was really proud of his youth.

He and his elder brother Ma Liang refer to it, and Ma Liang ranked 17th, and he ranked first.

Not only his brother, but also all the scholars who set out from Jingzhou to take the exam were trampled by him.

When he thought of the emperor's banquet and the praises of officials on the imperial street, he was so happy that he was about to fly.

But speaking of this matter, including Ma Su, all scholars who study in Jingzhou Xueye Hall should thank the current governor of Jingzhou Cai Mao.

If it weren't for Cai Mao, they would all be done. Soon Jingzhou Xueye Hall would follow in the footsteps of Luoyang Taixue and become a pawn in the hands of the emperor, with no way out.

When the scholars in Luoyang were protesting, the scholars in Jingzhou also received news and received a call. After learning about the emperor's actions, they were filled with righteous indignation and very angry.

Many scholars are inciting people around them to participate in the protests, and should express their absolute opposition directly to the emperor, and resolutely defend the system of recommendation and the honor of scholars.

As a result, when things got worse, Cai Mao came forward to support the emperor in Jingzhou, expressed his support for the emperor, and sent people to suppress the opposition of the scholars.

Many soldiers who resisted fiercely were arrested by Cai Mao and threw them into the prison for strict supervision. They also asked the elders of the scholars to come forward to stop them and forcibly suppress their voices.

At that time, many people privately insulted Cai Mao as a scum of scholars and wanted to collectively depose Cai Mao as the governor, but the results showed that Cai Mao did the right thing.

The emperor beat five thousand scholars and cleaned up nearly 40,000 of them, together with their family and tribe members, creating the largest number of inconsistencies in history. He showed no mercy to anyone, and almost cleared the quota of scholars in the middle and lower classes in the capital.

The Sergeant of Beijing was almost empty.

The scholars in the Imperial Academy were also severely hit and more than half of them were implicated.

Because Jingzhou has the foundation of the academic hall established by Liu Biao, the school conditions are the best besides the Imperial Academy.

Because scholars generally despise the Imperial Academy, before this incident, many scholars traveled thousands of miles to Jingzhou Xueye Hall to participate in the study, jokingly saying this is [Second Go to Jiangnan].

The scholars who studied here were able to preserve their preservation because of Cai Mao's suppression and control and were not implicated in the Luoyang Incident, except for a few who were implicated because of the crimes committed by relatives in Luoyang.

Therefore, the scholars were frightened and not only did not continue to insult Cai Mao, but instead regarded Cai Mao as their protective umbrella and hid in the academic hall to wait for news.

Then I waited for the news of the imperial examination.

It can be said that thanks to Cai Mao protecting the Xueye Hall, he retained his last vitality for the scholars and would not be beaten up by the emperor in Luoyang, and he would have the power to fight.

So this exam, the scholars of Jingzhou shined.

Cai Mao's move seemed very smart to Guo Peng.

Because he preserved the last vitality of the scholar.

This is something Guo didn't expect before taking action.

The group of scholars who were killed in Luoyang have a close relationship with the scholars of Qingyan and Ji, which are currently in power in the court.

They were close to the court and occupied a certain proportion within the court and the Imperial College.

I thought they had taken advantage of it before, but the emperor's last punch almost wiped out the successors of the scholar group of Qingyan and Jizhou.

The power of the Qingyan and Ji three prefectures group declined at a speed visible to the naked eye. The children of the politicians later took over and seized a large number of positions, becoming a huge force that cannot be ignored and allowed to be used by the emperor.

While the emperor's power was further enhanced to an unprecedentedly powerful level, the surviving scholars of Jingzhou and some Central Plains scholars who "refused" in Jingzhou came from behind, and staged a post-action and seized the power seat in the future.

It can be said that the emperor's move not only completely defeated the traditional and powerful Qingyan and Ji three states, but also introduced the power of the common people into the central government.

Then, through the imperial examination, scholars from traditionally disadvantaged areas were introduced into the court, completely emptying the foundation of the current tycoons in the court.

They all counted one, and almost all became the emperor's rubber stamps.

Except for themselves, their subordinates, the middle and low-level officials who were doing things were all civil officials introduced by the emperor and scholars selected from the imperial examinations who were inconsistent with them.

They all listen to the emperor, not to the high-ranking officials.

After this great change, the honest and honest officials and the honest and honest officials were shocked to find that they had lost the foundation of power and everything had changed.

Cheng Yu and Tian Feng were the first to be hit. They, who had already experienced most of their power, suddenly realized that their power was completely undermined.

The Shangshutai was in name only, and the Shangshu of each department began to do their own things, reporting their work directly to the emperor, instead of reporting their work to them.

Not only the original departments, but also the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which were originally obedient to report work, began to stop reporting work.

Cheng Yu and Tian Feng completely lost the qualification to lead the government and serve as the head of officials.

Cheng Yu, the original leader of all officials, has now become a mascot.

Tian Feng almost lost his original power and moved closer to Cheng Yu.

This is not what Guo Peng wanted to do subjectively, but an unexpected surprise achieved in the process of dealing with scholars.

After cleaning up these people, Guo Peng realized that his power had completely reached the level of [Real Emperor].

The officials in each department are all their own people.

He is no longer a singular scholar.

Therefore, in addition to Tian Feng and Cheng Yu, the ministers and ministers of various departments were also bitter and nervous.

They are the ones who feel the most direct experience of change.

Most of their younger brothers were finished, and were wiped out by the emperor during the previous changes, filling in a large number of children of the common people, and leaving a lot of things to these children of the common people.

To be honest, these people regard the emperor as their rebirth parents. If the emperor issued the orders and the ministers' remarks were different, they would definitely obey the emperor's orders without hesitation.

To put it bluntly, they felt that the emperor could directly convey orders through the eunuchs in the inner court's official magistrates to various offices, bypass the Shangshu and the Minister of the Secretariat, and directly pass the orders to the doctor and the Minister of the Secretariat, and directly do things, so that the Secretary of the Secretariat and the Minister of the Secretariat can be turned into rubber stamps.

That is, the emperor didn't do this.

The emperor's power is so great that I don't know whether he can win the future. It is probably a certainty that he can never succeed. Even Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of Han cannot compare with His Majesty today who has greater power and wider scope.

This is something they personally experience.

Power, the emperor's power lingers around them, which makes them feel helpless and fearful.

Terrifying imperial power.

In the eighth year of Yande, Yizhou was fighting and Luoyang was holding the imperial examination.

At the same time, the power of Shangshutai completely fell into the hands of the emperor.

Since its founding, the power that had to share with the ministers for the founding of the country has been completely taken back by Mr. Guo eight years later.

It is no exaggeration to say that at the beginning, Mr. Guo only controlled military and financial power.

Judicial power, personnel power and administrative power are not completely in the hands of Mr. Guo, and they must be shared with scholars.

The [High-level] Sili School Captain among the Three Divisions needs to be held by Guoyuan to avoid being called the dominant three divisions.

Cui Yan needs to take responsibility for personnel affairs, and at most Cheng Yu is allowed to check it.

Administration requires the cooperation of Cheng Yu and Tian Feng, and the execution of the Shangshu Desk, and he set up at most a cabinet to buffer and protect the imperial power.

These three important powers were not completely in control. If they were missing, he was stronger than Liu Xiu at that time, and he was at the basic level.
