Chapter 1,746 Zhao Xu’s cleverness

Of course, if the procedure is to be correct, then a big fight will be launched, and the court will have to gather again to clearly declare Cai Chu's crime of alienating the two palaces, and then punish him no matter what.

However, Gao Taotao has passed away, and Cai indeed died earlier.

This year is another year of "pursuing tranquility". In addition, Cai Wei followed Bi Zhongyan in the legal system, so he can be regarded as a capable person. He has made great contributions in the previous revision of the law.

Therefore, Zhao Xu did not think much of himself, pursued Cai Queyou as the right official, and promoted Yuju Guan to become an official.

However, it is impossible to have posthumous titles or the like anymore.

In order to divert everyone's attention from this matter, Jiayin ordered Wang Anshi and Lu Gong to enjoy the temple of Shenzong.

When Shenzong passed away, there was a fierce controversy over whether Han Qi or Wang Anshi should be the worthy minister.

Because Gao Taotao was loyal to the old party, he finally chose Han Qi and Fu Bi.

In order to promote his political views, Zhao Xu, at Zeng Bu's request, reconsidered the issue of Shenzong's share.

Wang Anshi was definitely an important minister of Shenzong. He served as prime minister twice, and it is indisputable that he deserved it.

The reason why there is controversy is that it is unfair. In fact, it is all caused by party disputes.

Zhao Xu wanted to achieve political balance and promote his own governance philosophy, so he simply did this and gave Anshi a fair treatment.

Cai Jing took the opportunity to carry out private goods, and also brought Lu Gong's clothes out.

Because in this time and space, there was a big difference between Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang, and similar to Fu Bi, he became the banner representing the reformists.

Fan Zuyu felt that although Sima Guang had not been in the court for more than ten years, his influence on Shenzong was greater than that of Han Qi. After all, there was a copy of Zizhi Tongjian there.

So he also petitioned for Sima Guang's status.

However, this proposal failed to pass because although Sima Guang had a high reputation in the Shenzong Dynasty, his status was not very good.

In the end, Shenzong's accompanying ministers became political correctness who valued supervision, encouraged advice and discussion, and used all three factions.

Among the four ministers, one is a conservative, one is a reformist, one is a moderate, and one is a reformist.

As for whether they will continue to quarrel underground as before, and whether they will make Shenzong so angry that he appears, it is no longer a question that everyone really cares about.

In the leap month of Renshen, Lu Shimin and other twenty-three people were promoted to Chang Ping officials.

Guiyou, the ten imperial examinations will be discontinued.

The method of conducting the Ten Imperial Examinations was proposed by Sima Guang, but it is indeed somewhat unscientific.

It's the same as Cheng Yi's. Although the starting point is very good, it is too subjective and the operability is too poor.

So Zhao Xu thought of a compromise, abandoning the imperial examination system and restoring the normal path of the imperial examination, but adding another hurdle, which was the civil service examination, which had already achieved great success.

During the period when the Ten Civil Service Examinations and the Civil Service Examination were held in parallel, the advantages of the Civil Service Examination in improving officials' governance capabilities became prominent.

In the end, the imperial court chose to retain the civil service examination and abolish the ten-subject selection method.

From now on, scholars will pass the Rites Examination to obtain the qualifications to become officials, but they will also need to pass the Civil Affairs Examination again three years after entering the officialdom to assess their ability to handle official affairs learned in the past three years. This will determine who is promoted. initial speed".

After that, there were two big thresholds for foreign officials to become court officials, and there were two big thresholds from the sixth grade to the fifth grade.

This turned into the Ministry of Rites testing literary talent and qualifications for admission; the Ministry of Officials testing abilities and qualifications for advancement.

The reason for doing this is that Zhao Xu was able to add a large amount of Neo-Confucian content to the civil service examination without causing widespread opposition and backlash. Through this flexible method, officials were able to pay equal attention to both liberal arts and science, both in name and in real terms. build.

It may seem unnecessary, but if you want to apply Neo-Confucianism, this is actually the most reasonable, flexible, quickest, and least resistance method.

When Su You saw the Di newspaper, he couldn't help but praise Zhao Xu's cleverness. His hard work for decades had finally come to fruition.

And this is self-consistent within the system, just like the overall running-in of the gearbox to finally obtain the optimal solution. It is not a forced replacement of parts, nor is it done by people. It is destined not to be done by people like Mr. Anshi.

Because this system is relatively fair, it can allow all officials to accept their accounts without any objections.

As for the popularity of Su You's set of civil servant entry guides for government officials - "Essentials of Current Affairs" - that is another matter.

In the year of 1911, Liu Fengshi was appointed as the pacifying envoy of Zhen Dingfu Road, and he also knew Dingzhou.

Autumn, September, ripe.

Zhao Xiaoqian, the governor of the Ningguo Army, petitioned to bring his mother, Feng, back to the mansion for support.

The Feng case can be said to be rotten sesame seeds.

Zhao Hao and Yuan Fei Feng's relationship broke down and separated. Gao Taotao had a strong opinion of Feng. Later, Zhao Hao caused a fire in the palace. Gao Taotao was afraid that Zhao Hao would be sent out of the palace by Zhao Xu, so he made trouble and said it was wrong.

What Feng did, almost made Feng commit suicide.

Zhao Xu knew that his mother and younger brother were trying to show off his younger brother and sister, so he swallowed his anger and said that Zhao Hao could continue to stay in the palace, saved Feng's family, and ordered her to become a monk in the Yaohua Palace where the guilty concubines were placed.

After Zhao Xu's authority became stronger, in order to disgust Zhao Hao, Zhao Xu improved Feng's treatment.

When Gao Taotao came to power, Zhao Hao had been dishonest, so Gao Taotao followed suit and improved Feng's treatment again.

Feng was actually a political victim. When she arrived at Zhao Xu, Feng had already lived in Yaohua Palace for eighteen years.

After Zhao Xiaoqian proposed it, Zhao Xu immediately agreed. Not only did he agree, but because the Feng family had halved the expenditure in the Yaohua Palace, he was summoned to restore the entire branch. Also restored was the title of Mrs. Feng Chongguo, who was still known as Zhao Hao.

As a concubine, Zhao Xiaoqian was taken back to the mansion to support her.

Firstly, he was showing off his "benevolence and filial piety", and secondly, he was disgusted with his dead imperial uncle and wanted to avenge his father.

Zuo Pushe took the opportunity to flatter Cai Jing, saying that he had proposed to the Empress Dowager that Long should meet the concubine, but later the Empress Dowager became seriously ill and nothing happened.

Since Mrs. Feng can improve her salary, as His Majesty’s biological mother, shouldn’t Princess Zhu also consider it?

Empress Dowager Xiang was also a wonderful person. After Gao Taotao came to power, he once ordered the Qingshou Palace to be renovated for her to live in. He said to the empress: "I have a aunt living in the west and my wife living in the east, which is a waste of distinction between superior and inferior."

In the end, he only lived in Longyou Palace.

Letting the daughters of distinguished ministers into the palace to help with the accounting books was actually to select queens for Zhao Xu and concubines for the princes.

Empress Dowager Xiang, as the actual operator, ordered that no female member of the Xiang clan be allowed to participate in the election.

The clan party wanted to follow the example of exchanging favors for official positions, and seeking imperial rank for selecting candidates, and even said that they had a special purpose, but the Queen Mother still disagreed: "My clan has not used this example, so there is no need to use personal feelings to flout the public law."

She is also a smart woman.

After hearing Cai Jing's suggestion, he immediately issued an edict to the Queen Mother to improve the status of the concubine, build a villa for her and call it "Shengduan Palace"; change the car to a chariot; she could enter and exit the palace through the Xuande East Gate; and gave the concubine a posthumous gift.

The three fathers of Cui, Ren and Zhu were all Taishi and Taibao.

Except for the fact that the officials addressed the concubine as "Your Highness" when submitting official documents, the others were all treated according to their own treatment.

Concubine Zhu was also a smart person and asked Zhao Xu to treat the Empress Dowager with respect at all times. She continued to do her farm work as always - growing vegetables, flowers, and raising fish.

All other affairs in the palace were shared by Empress Dowager Xiang and Empress Meng.

Not only does growing vegetables and raising fish have a good reputation, but it also creates a sense of presence among the ministers several times a year, because it has become a regular favor to reward the ministers with hydroponic green vegetables, melons and eggplants in the palace.

Many of them are very rare new varieties, such as the earliest corn, potatoes, and tomatoes; the recent bell peppers, pumpkins, and eggplants. Two years ago, chili sauce, bean paste and other delicacies began to be produced, and they have even begun to be produced in winter.

Reward with fresh mushrooms and fungus.

The reputation of the concubine as a "good farmer" has already spread.

Jihai, Zhao Xulin Royal Institute of Technology.

The Royal Institute of Technology now consists of three parts: the affiliated primary school, the affiliated middle school, and the college.

Different from ordinary primary schools and secondary schools, Royal Institute of Technology has been accompanied by finance and science courses since childhood.

After graduating from the affiliated middle school, those with average grades will join the workforce. Those with good grades will be selected to continue their studies in the Royal Military Academy, the Royal Naval Academy, and the Capital University, in addition to academies.

Today Zhao Xu came to school with a bunch of younger brothers and sisters.

Zhao Xu now has six younger brothers and nine younger sisters. Among them, he has the same mother as Zhao Si, the king of Puning County, Princess Yun, Princess Lu, and Princess Xing.

After the medical case of the ninth son Zhao Bai, Shenzong began to pay attention to scientific medical treatment. Thanks to Shi Wei, Qian Yi, and Tang Shenwei, after the reconstruction of the harem, all the children survived.

Except for the ninth son Zhao Bai who had eye problems due to delayed treatment, the rest are quite healthy.

After calling the little princesses back to their biological mothers to raise them, the little princesses became more lively and cheerful.

Zhao Xu's favorite brothers include Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, and Zhao Si, but his favorite sisters are the youngest ones, Xianhe, Xianjing, and Xianhui.
