"This was proposed by Lu Pushe during the meeting of ministers."
Fu Gu took out a petition and placed it in front of Sima Zhao.
Sima Zhao picked up the paper in astonishment and started reading it. After just a few glances, Sima Zhao's face turned red again and almost exploded.
"Old man!! That's too much!"
"This is too much!"
Sima Zhao shouted, feeling his body swaying and almost falling to the ground. Fu Gu was shocked and quickly supported him.
Sima Zhao almost gritted his teeth.
"Let's go, we have to tell my brother about this now!!"
"ah??"
Fu Gu's eyes widened. Isn't the general still awake? ?
Before he could react, Sima Zhao led him out of the study and towards the side courtyard. Soon, the two of them arrived in front of a house. When the soldier at the door saw Sima Zhao, he quickly got out of the way. , Sima Zhao led Fu Gu into the house.
"General!!"
Fu Gu quickly saluted.
Master Sima looked at him in surprise, glanced at Sima Zhao again, and replied calmly: "Don't be too polite, just sit down."
Sima Zhao did not give them a chance to talk too much. He walked up to him with the documents in his hand and handed the things into Sima Zhao's hands.
"Brother, look"
"Lu Yu is a thief"
Before Sima Zhao finished speaking, Master Sima interrupted him, "Don't be rude to Mr. Lu!"
Sima Zhao simply shut his mouth.
Master Sima looked at the document in his hand and frowned unconsciously.
Sima Zhao saw his brother's hands starting to tremble.
The policy that Lu Yu convened the ministers to discuss was about the Zhongzheng system. Lu Yu believed that under today's Zhongzheng system, many talented people still have no chance to get ahead, and this should be changed. When commenting on the talented people, The focus should be on family history. A wise family can naturally teach virtuous people. However, there are always vacancies in many official positions in the country. It is hoped that the Ministry of Civil Affairs can directly recruit the children of high-ranking families and use them as officials.
Seeing these discussions in the Chancery, Master Sima's brows jumped.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this thing, but if you think about it seriously, the problem is too big.
First of all, the biggest problem with this is the monopoly of official positions. Although family background is also an important assessment criterion nowadays, it is not the only criterion. A poor family can still change its destiny by treating classics. If a noble family does not have talents who can resist the tripod, You may also gradually become lonely.
However, once a person's grade is changed into a family grade, then official positions will be monopolized by these aristocratic families. People in big families will be high officials regardless of their talent. People from poor families will not get a chance to get ahead no matter how talented they are. The one at the bottom is even more deceptive.
The Ministry of Personnel is an important organization under the Shangshutai, responsible for the promotion and selection of officials. However, this selection is not directly selected by the Ministry of Personnel. It is appointed after consultation with the local Zhongzheng officials. If it were directly appointed by the Ministry of Personnel, this trend would Being strengthened, even the comments were omitted and directly recruited.
No aristocratic family today would reject such a policy. How wonderful it is. Generations of officials would serve as officials, and a millennium-old family would be born. If Master Sima was also acting as a wealthy family, he might have agreed.
But the problem is that the Sima family is no longer a purely aristocratic family. Their position is to govern the world.
Sima Shi and Sima Zhao even regarded Wei as their own.
How could these two people fail to see the destructive power of this policy to the Wei Dynasty? If they do this, the poor family will never be able to get ahead, and the officials everywhere are high-ranking people with no talent or morality. How long can this dynasty last? Are you afraid that it will be destroyed within a hundred years? ?
This is also the reason why Sima Zhao became furious after just one look.
These idiots don't take the world seriously, and would rather destroy the entire Wei Dynasty for their own sake, right? ?
Master Sima was much calmer than Sima Zhao. After reading it, he took a deep breath to calm down, put away his things, and looked at Fu Gu in front of him.
"Lan Shi, you are a true loyal minister."
Fu Gu said calmly: "Actually, when Lu Gong raised this matter, I was also shaken."
"I also have a clan, and I also have incompetent children."
"The descendants will be able to serve as officials for generations to come, and the incense will continue. Who can refuse such a good thing?"
"Then why did you come to tell me?"
Master Sima asked.
Fu Gu replied: "I think that some things are worse than the current system, which is already very biased in favor of the rich. If it really changes like this, the world will be in danger. The world will perish, and how will there be wealth for generations?"
Master Sima nodded happily and said with emotion: "There are really not many farsighted talents like you in the temple."
Sima Zhao gritted his teeth and said: "Even a world-famous celebrity like Lu Yu doesn't have such foresight as you! Greed will bring him disaster sooner or later!!"
Master Sima said calmly: "Gong Lu has a different idea. He doesn't care about his descendants. He just wants to make further progress for himself."
"I have suppressed him for too long, which makes him a little unwilling. If this matter is taken care of, can you still suppress him?"
Master Sima looked at Sima Zhao.
A fierce light flashed in Sima Zhao's eyes, "You can hold it down!"
Master Sima didn't speak for a long time, with some disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Sima Shi's operation cannot be considered too successful. After all, it was a sarcoma removal operation that took place in 254 AD. The postoperative trauma is still tormenting him. Historically, when he went to Guanqiujian to conquer Guanqiujian, he was already seriously ill. , he is no better at this moment.
But in this case, Master Sima suddenly had more and more troubles, leaving him with no chance to rest at all.
Palace, rehabilitation, Guanqiu Jian, persuasion, leaking secrets, clan, celebrities, rebellion, now Lu Yu is taking the lead in launching an attack
A series of events put a strong man like Sima Shi under great pressure.
He had never been so tired. Sima Shi spent the busiest months in his life, and troubles came one after another and became more and more serious.
When did this all start happening?
A new emperor ascends the throne? Or should we say, after the abolition of Li Li?
Master Sima felt his weak body and looked at his brother in front of him, feeling even more depressed.
After he leaves, can his brother really take care of these things?
Father, will I live up to your high expectations?
The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Sima Zhao saw something in his brother's eyes. He lowered his head, feeling full of self-blame.
He really wanted to bear all this alone, and he didn't want his seriously ill brother to be busy for himself anymore.
Why, I just can’t do it? !
"Zhao"
Sima Zhao raised his head and saw Master Sima struggling to sit up. He was shocked and went to help him, but Master Sima pushed his hand away forcefully.
Master Sima sat in the upper position coldly and looked at the two people in front of him.
"What's going on with the rebellion?"
"Brother, you are right that there has been a rebellion in Ping County. Sima Ban killed Liang and took credit for it. I have already sent people to intimidate him."
Master Sima said calmly: "Lan Shi, could you please go to many counties in Henan to inspect and check if there are any officials killing innocent people? If so, deal with them on the spot without reporting. We should rectify the various places and prohibit them from harassing the people and killing innocent people."
"Sir, please send Du Yu to Ping County now to quell the rebellion there, rein in the army, restore local order, and quell the people's complaints."
"In addition, Xun Xu was asked to write to the temple and request to be reinstated as a regular servant, saying that this was His Majesty's idea and he had no choice but to do it."
"You prepare another imperial edict for Guanqiu Jian, asking him to enter the temple as a disciple as soon as possible."
Master Sima said a lot of words in succession, and the more Sima Zhao listened, the more confused he became.
"Brother? Are you really going to do this?? If we inspect the counties and cities in Henan, every one of them will be punished. Wouldn't this cause even greater chaos?"
"Sima Ban is one of our own, and arresting him will cause unrest in the clan."
"As for the minister, how could Xun Xu be willing to submit a letter like this? Is the temple minister going to be mad?"
"And Guan Qiu Jian, is now really the time to deal with him??"
Sima Zhao felt something was wrong with every order given by Master Sima. Wasn't this exacerbating all kinds of conflicts? There are already enough internal conflicts, but if we continue like this, won't conflicts break out completely? ?
Master Sima said calmly: "Just follow the instructions with peace of mind. Go and call Zhong Hui in."
"good"
Sima Zhao stood up, but said hesitantly: "Brother, there is one more thing about Zhong Hui."
"oh?"
