The Zhou class was solidified. Murong Fu was right about this, and Song Xuan also knew it.
In three hundred years, for a dynasty, class solidification is inevitable, and the path for people below to rise has basically been controlled by the upper class.
To be honest, if this world were not a world of high martial arts, with abundant vitality and high crop yields, which could barely support the nearly 10 billion people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, plus the Great Zhou Dynasty still maintains the highest force value to oppress, otherwise the rebel armies would have spread all over the place. .
Although there were imperial examinations and military examinations in the Great Zhou Dynasty, for ordinary people, studying was still a luxury that most people could not afford.
As for practicing martial arts, ordinary people can't even think about it. If their families don't have any background or inheritance, they basically have no access to the circle of martial artists.
Not to mention the civil service system, most of the positions have long been occupied by various political families. If there is no one to protect them, many officials may not be able to rise to the next level in decades.
The general system is slightly better. You can take part in martial arts examinations and join the army to become a captain. But if you want to go further, you need military merit. As the Great Zhou Dynasty has been in peace for a long time, the most lacking thing is military merit. There is no chance to attack the city and destroy the country. .
Although Murong Fu was a master of martial arts, the civil service system did not consider cultivation, so his abilities could not be fully utilized in the officialdom.
If you follow the military general system, there will be no wars in the Great Zhou Dynasty and no military achievements. If you spend your whole life in the army, you can only get qualifications. If you spend most of your life, you may not even be able to become a general.
If a master like him is willing to work for aristocratic families, serve as a staff, or make offerings, he will naturally enjoy high-level treatment, and women will not be short of wealth and status, but if he wants to occupy a high position in the court...
Sorry, it's not possible.
You, a man from the world, want to gain the power that has been divided among powerful families for hundreds of years as soon as you enter the officialdom. What are you thinking about?
Not to mention the civil and military system, even a privileged institution like Xuanyi Guard is like this.
In the yamen of the imperial capital, those who hold high positions are basically members of the Xuanyiwei family. Those recruited from the Jianghu, even if they are martial arts masters, will basically end up sitting in a thousand households in a prosperous place.
As for becoming a high-level person like the director of the Inspection Department or the Law Enforcement Department, there is no chance of it unless the ancestors smoke.
The only chance to compete is to complete the promotion task of the first-class Xuanyi guard and become a high-ranking first-class Xuanyi guard. Even if he has no real power, he has a high status and good treatment, and the emperor must be respectful when he sees him.
This is also the only way for Jianghu warriors to complete the class leap and get in touch with the core of power by relying on their own strength.
If the descendants can live up to their expectations and take root in the imperial capital and work hard for several generations, they may have a chance to become the next Xuanyi Wei family.
Song Xuan himself is a son of a noble family and belongs to the privileged class. He does not reject privileges, but he also knows that there are still crises outside the Great Zhou Dynasty. In this case, the Great Zhou Dynasty must maintain its vitality. If the class continues to be solidified in this way, it will inevitably Something big is going to go wrong.
The previous emperors and commanders of the Xuanyi Guards either lacked sufficient cultivation, lacked courage, or lacked vision. In short, no one could shake the current situation of class consolidation in the Zhou Dynasty.
The Grand Master within the Xuanyi Guards saw this problem, and the Grand Master within the Royal Family also saw this problem, so the two ruthless men Song Xuan and Ji Xuanfeng came to the position.
If even these two perfect masters can't solve this problem, the day Taizu dies will be the time when the Great Zhou Dynasty falls apart!
How to deal with the situation in the court is a matter for Emperor Ji Xuanfeng to worry about, and Song Xuan will not intervene rashly.
As for Xuan Yiwei, Song Xuan had his own plans.
Under the influence of the old emperor, Xuanyiwei, a secret service agency, has been almost flat for twenty years. Xuanyiwei yamen in many places are in a relaxed state, and the sense of oppression against local governments and rivers and lakes has been reduced a lot.
This is also the reason why Song Xuan is ready to reuse Dong Tianbao and recruit Murong Fu, Jiumozhi and others.
This kind of person is ambitious, motivated, and utilitarian. Although he is not a good person, he is a natural king, enough to create a sense of crisis for other high-level officials of Xuanyi Guard.
If you don’t roll up, you’ll be rolled to death!
Just occupying your position and doing nothing? Then give up your position, there are many people who want to make progress and are willing to do things!
If no one is doing anything, why don't I, the commander, do it myself?
After pondering for a while, Song Xuan said: "Every year, Xuanyi Guard recruits a group of Xuanyi Guards from the private sector. It is not difficult to pass the examination with your strength. Have you never thought about taking the path of Xuanyi Guards?"
Murong Fu laughed sarcastically, "Sir, you are joking. If I don't do what I want to do, my family may be confiscated and my clan exterminated. When I see the Xuanyi guards, I can't hide in time. How can I dare to move forward?"
Moreover, although Xuanyi Guard also recruits people from the Jianghu, they also have to check the family background. The situation of my Murong family is a bit special. Do you think I can pass the test? "
Before the unification of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were countless kingdoms in various parts of Kyushu, and the Yan Kingdom established by the Murong family was one of them.
Countries that were aware of current affairs took the initiative to surrender, such as the Duan family's Dali State. After surrendering to the Zhou Dynasty, the Duan family still retained the title of king. However, such as the Yan State, which did not actively surrender and was conquered by the Zhou army, naturally did not What a good treatment.
The Murong family, as the former royal family of the Yan Kingdom, could still have descendants of blood who were not expelled to death, which can be regarded as the benevolence of the Taizu family back then.
Murong Fu was also a smart man. He understood the meaning of Song Xuan's words and immediately bowed and said: "If you need it, sir, I am willing to serve as a hawk and dog under your command and do the work of a dog and horse for you!"
He has already tried the road of becoming a gangster, but the result is that he will be beaten and his family will be destroyed. This road will never work.
In the past, he had no choice but to live in the world. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, he wants to take another path!
They say that Xuan Yiwei is the imperial eagle dog. That's because he never had the chance to go in. Now that he had the chance, how could Murong Fu be willing to give up?
As a hawk dog, he also wants to be the biggest one!
At this moment, his already frustrated mind became active again.
Join the Xuanyi Guard and climb to the top step by step. From now on, he will let the Murong family gain a firm foothold in the imperial capital and become a high-ranking Xuanyi Guard family!
No matter how good Wang Jue is, he is just a mascot, how can he be compared with such a behemoth as the Xuanyi Wei family?
Restoration? A woolen country!
Become a member of the Xuanyiwei family and share weal and woe with the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is what Murong Fu should do!
Subconsciously, Duan Yu's annoying but sincere face appeared in his mind inexplicably.
As the heir apparent of the Dali royal family, Murong Fu did not dare to offend him at will. Even if he knew that the other party was poaching, he would not dare to turn against him at will.
Because Duan Yu is backed by the royal family! Because the other party has confidence in his heart, he is not afraid of falling out at all!
If, if he, Murong Fu, were the commander of Xuanyi Guards at this moment, do you think Duan Yu would dare to poach him?
