Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 362

"Get up."

Liu Yizhen held the "Three-Level Imperial Examination Policy for County, State and Road" in his hand.

"What's in it, you have to tell me in detail."

"Here!"

Chao Shangzhi's spirit was lifted, and he naturally understood what the emperor meant.

"Your Majesty, in today's world, rich families from all over the world collude with the government to oppress the common people. If you can use humble scholars as officials, at least..."

"They won't go so far!"

Officials' children are still officials.

The children of the people are still the people.

Not only is there no way to serve the country, but there is nowhere to redress grievances.

This empire is in great need of new power to help the old body invigorate the blood and remove stasis, and dredge every corner that can be seen and cannot be seen.

"It is gratifying and congratulatory that the imperial court has withdrawn the appointment and dismissal of officials over [-] shi, but it is those officials who can see and not see that who are really in charge of the people!"

"Most of these officials are patrons of wealthy families. They usually deal with those wealthy families. If things go on like this, the demands of the people cannot be heard, and the grievances of the people cannot be publicized. How can the people talk about their loyalty to the court?"

"That's why I proposed to set up imperial examinations in prefectures and counties in the future, and reuse the poor scholars who got the rankings in the county and state examinations!"

What Chao Shangzhi said was passionate, but Liu Yizhen poured cold water on him——

"I know what you said."

"But I ask you."

"Among this poor family, how many people can read? How many people are virtuous? How many people know the law?"

Chao Shangzhi was suddenly at a loss for words.

"I'll ask you again, you said Xingzhou and county imperial examinations..."

"Do you think that in a state or a county, there are more scholars from wealthy families or from poor families?"

"And do you think, among these humble scholars, how many of them can be as amazing and talented as your Chao Shangzhi, and can be the champion, overwhelming all the aristocratic families?"

Chao Shangzhi opened his mouth, he wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let it go?"

"of course not."

Liu Yizhen shook his head: "Nowadays, the price of books is very cheap, and you can exchange a few buckets of grain for several volumes of classics. I also sent people to distribute the textbook "Lecture Notes for Six Subjects" to various places, so that scholars in Bianzhou can read it. No serious knowledge, just..."

"They still lack time."

Chao Shangzhi understood Liu Yizhen's implication.

"What does your majesty mean?"

"I don't want to keep you by my side."

Liu Yizhen's eyes were piercing, and he looked at Chao Shangzhi with a warm light.

"You are the number one scholar, your time should not be wasted on trivial matters in the court."

"I have more important things for you to do."

Chao Shangzhi took a deep breath and roughly understood what Liu Yizhen meant.

"Your Majesty wants me... to go to the states and counties to govern?"

"Ah."

Liu Yizhen didn't shy away from his thoughts: "The right to choose is yours. If you don't want to, I won't force it. After all, you still have your own talents. In addition, I will immediately appoint you as a fourth-rank official to enter Shangshu Province to practice, but after that It’s all up to you.”

Liu Yizhen gave Chao Shangzhi two choices.

First, go outside to meet higher wind and waves, and walk a road that does not know how long it will take.

Second, with the halo of the number one scholar, like the children of those aristocratic families, he was involved in this bloody court at a very high starting point.

Chao Shangzhi did not hesitate at all: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go out to govern!"

After studying hard for ten years, Han Chuang finally became a number one scholar.

As long as he thinks about it, when he enters the officialdom now, he will start at the level of the former Langya Wang family and the Chenjun Xie family.

In this lifetime, as long as he works hard and endures for decades, he may even hope to make his way to the position of the third high-ranking official.

but……

This is not what Chao Shangzhi wanted.

Many poor scholars hate aristocratic families just because they themselves are not aristocratic families.

And Chao Shangzhi didn't want to be part of a family, because he knew that as long as a family existed, there would always be children from poor families like him who would be bullied.

What he wants is to make all poor people in the world happy, not to have another "Lu County Chao Clan" in this world.

not to mention……

Chao Shangzhi looked up at the Son of Heaven, and thought cunningly——

Do things according to the emperor, can the emperor treat himself badly?
"good!"

Liu Yizhen chose Chao Shangzhi, but at the same time he also hoped that Chao Shangzhi would choose himself.

Twisted melons are not sweet.

If Chao Shangzhi didn't want to kick a poor student outside who had worked so hard to climb up, it would be fine if he didn't resent him, so how could he possibly do things for him?
Originally, Liu Yizhen had already thought about it. If Chao Shangzhi was willing, he would pave the way for him and let him be the sharpest knife in his hand.

If you don't want to, you will take a leisurely official position and offer it up as a mascot to set an example for poor scholars all over the world.

Now that Chao Shangzhi is willing, it is naturally hello, me, hello, everyone.

"You will come to Liangyi Hall in the next few days. I have something to tell you in detail."

With just this sentence, Chao Shangzhi knew that he had made the right bet!

It is no secret that Liangyi Hall is the office of the current emperor.

Not to mention the honor of being able to meet the emperor in private, just being acquainted with the bosses in and out of it is a rare benefit.

"Here!"

After Chao Shangzhi came out of the palace, news of the appointment came out.

Most of the [-] scholars on the list were assigned to various places in Guanzhong to serve as officials, and generals like the "Five Tigers" who should have grown up in the ranks were also recruited by the emperor into the Yulin Army.

Only Chao Shangzhi!
This much-anticipated No. [-] scholar was actually conferred the title of "Hebei, Henan, and Second School Superintendent Envoy".

Inspector envoy?
A messenger who promotes reading without real power?
This made some aristocratic family members sneer: "The emperor appointed such a small official to Chao Shangzhi. It seems that people from poor families have no real talents and learning!"

Only the real high-level people know that this nest is about to develop!

Doing things with the emperor is indispensable.But the key point is that the Son of Heaven can really feed this cake into people's mouths.

Typical examples are Wang Xiu and Du Ji.

The two were thrown into the Guanzhong by the emperor one after another, and now one has become the prime minister of the court, and the other is in charge of the Jinyiwei, who is usually invisible but everyone knows its terrifying power.

Everyone didn't know what kind of cake the emperor drew for this upstart, but they knew from the somewhat weird name "inspector envoy" that it might have something to do with the imperial examination.

Before the world can guess how powerful this "inspector envoy" is, the emperor will automatically tell the world what level this position is.

"Secretize Situ Xu Xianzhi as the envoy of the two schools of Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road."

"Fu Liang, the attendant, was appointed as the envoy of the two schools of Guannei Road and Hedong Road."

I was dumbfounded when I laughed at the "supervisor envoy" before as a person with no rank and no real power.

Of course there is no rank in this official position.

But who is at the same level?
It's Xu Xianzhi!

It's Fu Liang!
He is the prime minister of Liu Yu, Liu Yifu, and Liu Yizhen!
Can be listed as an official with Zaifu.

This "inspector envoy" may be described as "indescribably expensive", but it is not enough to describe its nobleness!
