Another great Wei Dynasty meeting.
The atmosphere of the temple has changed somewhat.
The three princes were sitting at the top of the ministers respectively. Wang Su was in high spirits. Having realized his dream of the three princes, he had put Wang Xiang's affairs behind him. He wanted to do something big to prove his ability as the three princes.
Although the current emperor is easy to persuade, as long as he helps carefully, he still has great hope of establishing an unprecedented prosperous age.
Besides, I am still young!
Wang Su was respected by everyone because he was good at scriptures, but in fact, he was thirteen years older than Master Sima.
Among these ministers, who are over sixty years old, they are really quite young.
Not everyone is a fierce person like Zhong Hui, who can charge towards the Sangong level at the age of thirty.
The ministers in the temple have all gone through many levels of hard work. Their local qualifications alone may last for decades. Especially when they reach the top level, they can be said to be still young even at the age of sixty.
It's the right year to fight.
Wang Su was full of confidence in himself. Putting aside personal grudges, Cao Mao was definitely a very capable king, and the separation of the Three Kingdoms had also been delayed for a long time. If he could complete the feat of unification in his own hands, he would assist the emperor to open up a new world. In the prosperous age, Wang Xiang still dared to step on him and get the upper hand? One word of his own can make him infamous for eternity!
As Wang Su said, this is a very selfish person, and it is precisely for this reason that he chooses to work hard to make progress and not hang out with the officials.
Zhuge Dan, who was sitting in front of him, looked even more stubborn.
The lieutenant who cared about face the most was very angry at this moment.
As soon as I came to the temple, you set fire to the granary, right? ?
You don't take me seriously?
He also held back anger in his heart.
Not to mention the ministers. In their opinion, the emperor's policies during these days were simply perverse.
They felt that it was necessary to save the Wei Dynasty and not let it fall into the hands of traitors.
The patience of the ministers had probably reached a limit, and they were ready to attack, which immediately changed the atmosphere of the court meeting.
Cao Mao looked at them calmly. Even though the situation had gotten so bad, Cao Mao was not too angry. He calmly analyzed the current situation.
Cao Mao sees clearly the several factions in the current dynasty.
After being beaten hard, the Family Alliance slowly gathered together again. This was still a quite terrifying force.
All officials in the world come from wealthy families. Even if there are a few poor families like Wang Jing, they are also disciples of wealthy families. Wang Jing was promoted by the Cui family.
There is no way, the book is in the hands of others. If you, a commoner from a poor family, want to be an official, you have to study. If you don't join a noble family, where else do you want to get knowledge? ?
Emperor Wen had actually been committed to the education of the Wei Dynasty.
From an objective point of view, although Emperor Wei Wen did a lot of foolish things, it cannot be said that he made no contribution to the country at all.
Emperor Wen of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Pi, restored Imperial College in Luoyang in the early years of Huang Dynasty. He appointed 19 Ph.D.s and recruited talents from all over the world to study.
During the period of Cao Mao, the number of Tai students had reached more than 2,000.
At the beginning, Cao Pi set up the Five Classics Examination method according to the Han system. Those who passed the examination could be filled with positions such as storyteller, prince, and doctor.
This eliminated those wine bags and rice bags to a certain extent and provided a source of talents for the kings of Wei. At the same time, Cao Pi promoted Confucianism in various places, established Xiangxu, and shouted: Ether learns to rule the world, and Xiangxu teaches cities!
Although there were many incompetent people in the Wei Dynasty, there were also many truly talented people. Especially compared to Wu and Shu, there was no interruption in talent at all, and educational institutions played a big role in this.
But neither the Imperial Academy nor the local officials could solve the problems of the wealthy families.
The Wei and Jin Dynasties were different from the later dynasties. At this time, books were still rare, printing had not yet appeared, paper was still very valuable, knowledge was still passed on through families, and enlightenment was not mentioned, and advanced knowledge theories were monopolized.
For example, later Zhu Yuanzhang could go on a killing spree, killing many ministers, and then call the rest to do things for him, but Cao Mao couldn't do it. It wasn't that Cao Mao didn't have the courage, it was that he didn't have the basic base, as all scholars Born into a wealthy family, if you kill them all, how can you govern the world?
He can't hold the imperial examination to recruit people. The imperial examination may improve the level of officials, but those who participate in the imperial examination are still the children of the rich families. Ordinary people can't even touch books, and even if they have money, they can't buy knowledge or education qualifications. None. What kind of assessment are you taking part in? ?
When He once said that he would kill all these people, Cao Mao asked him: After killing them, who should be used to govern the world?
This is not the flattery that Cao Mao wants to hear from He Zeng, this is what he thinks from his heart.
There are not many useful talents in the first place. How can they withstand such killings? If a few people from Shangshutai kill them, who can replace them?
Cao Mao was looking at his ministers at the moment, with many thoughts in his mind.
Xun Yi looked at Guo Zhang, who immediately stood up and bowed to Cao Mao.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Wen once issued an order to promote officials based on their political performance and to appoint and remove officials based on five examinations. Today, Duke Zheng promotes his cronies at will, openly colludes with Tingwei, and frames him. He will not have any relationship with himself. He removes those close to him and promotes his own people, but the people he promotes cannot see their usual political achievements and have never passed any assessment."
"The transfer and promotion of officials are all determined by his words, which makes officials all over the world feel chilled."
"Your Majesty, I have heard that clear rewards and punishments, and orderly promotion are the principles for governing the world. But if you insist on going your own way, regardless of political performance and virtue, and do things according to your own ideas, the country will be in trouble!"
As soon as Guo Zhang said these words, there was a dead silence in the temple.
Even though Guo Jun was talking about Zheng Miao, he was blaming Zheng Miao in his words, but everyone knew who he was talking about.

His spearhead was directly aimed at the emperor.
After all, the emperor is the most willful person. Even Situ and Taiwei made their own decisions without listening to the advice of the ministers.
This was probably the first time that ministers challenged the emperor during a court meeting.
The honeymoon period between Cao Mao, Xun Yi and others only lasted a few months.
Of course, they didn't want to show off, otherwise it wouldn't be Zheng Miao who was scolded just now.
Cao Mao didn't speak in a hurry, he glanced at Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui shook his head slightly at him, and Cao Mao sat quietly on the table without commenting.
"Oh, what qualifications do you have to write on behalf of the world?"
"Didn't you get the title of Minister after His Majesty took office? What political achievements do you have, what virtues do you have? What assessment did you pass?!"
Wang Su stood up immediately.
You can deny the emperor's character, but you can't deny his human perspective! What's wrong with his appointment? Isn’t it appropriate to transfer and promote officials at all levels? !
How can you, a junior with no talent or virtue, get the chance to speak here?
Guo Zhang is also young. He was originally appointed as Shangshu Lang by Sima Zhao. He became Shangshu simply because "there are no tigers in the mountains." Guo Zhang has some literary talent, but in Wang Su's eyes, this literary talent is nothing. .
Even when Wang Su met Guo Zhang's father, they were equals and did not tolerate each other at all.
Guo Zhang is not angry either. He is able to sit in his current position mainly because he is young, energetic and dares to step up. If he shrinks back now, then he has no value in staying in Shangshu.
He saluted Wang Su seriously.
"What the prince said is absolutely true. I'm afraid that in your eyes, the whole temple is full of people without talent and virtue."
"I really cannot hold such an important position!"
Guo Zhang suddenly paid homage to the emperor.
"Your Majesty!! Please resign!!"
At this moment, Yuan Liang and other ministers and ministers at the Chancery Stand stood up one after another to pay homage together.
"Your Majesty!! I am incompetent, please resign and return home!!"
After the Chancellor's desk, ministers from various institutions also stood up one after another.
At this moment, there was a vague feeling that hundreds of officials were writing to force the emperor.
But Xun Yi remained motionless.
As the boss of the Han clan faction, if he also stood up, there would be no room for relaxation.
Therefore, he just sat and waited for the emperor to speak to him.
Seeing the ministers forcing the palace, Wang Su was furious. He shouted loudly: "Are you planning to rebel?!"
"Have there ever been ministers like you in the world?!"
"How dare you collude to persecute the emperor?!"
But all the ministers lowered their heads at this moment and completely ignored Wang Su.
Cao Mao sat in the upper position and looked at them calmly. It seemed that his affairs during this period were quite successful, otherwise he would not have driven them to the point of jumping over the wall.
This was how they dealt with Master Sima in the beginning, and now they are dealing with me in this way.
Cao Mao looked at Zhong Hui again. At this moment, Zhong Hui slowly walked out.
"Your Majesty, what the ministers said is true."
"The appointment of officials must be carefully considered. This is not a decision that can be made lightly."
"We should assess the political achievements, talents, and conduct of officials all over the world according to the wishes of the ministers, and promote, promote, and dismiss them accordingly according to the norms left by Emperor Wen."
"From now on, we will promote and reuse according to these standards, and we will not make exceptions for promotions based on our status as officials or ministers."
"A general must advance his troops, and a governor must first achieve results, straighten out the administration, eliminate lawless, incompetent, and mediocre people, so that everything can be done according to regulations."
The moment Zhong Hui opened his mouth, Xun Yi actually started to get very energetic.
He was worried that Zhong would set a trap for the ministers again.
But after hearing what Zhong Hui said, Xun Yi fell into deep thought.
There has always been a lack of accurate standards for the transfer and promotion of officials. If it were in the past, Xun Yi would never agree to Zhong Hui, because if this system is determined, the rights and interests of the wealthy family in personnel rights will suffer huge losses.
But now the highest decision-making power on personnel matters lies in the hands of the emperor, who can arrange officials and ministers at all levels at will.
If a restriction could be made so that the emperor could not make arbitrary arrangements, well, the officials were all members of his own family anyway, so the final determination of political achievements and the selection of virtues would still be handled by his own people.
Besides, it wouldn't be a bad thing to take the opportunity to kick out those idiots from the big clan.
