Chapter 1141 Decentralization to counties and townships
Mrs. Right thinks so too.
If there are really outstanding people in these lists, I think they will definitely stand out in the assessment in the next year.
If a person only has a reputation but no real talent, it is still a question whether he can handle the practical affairs of the counties well.
"Then what was Alang looking at alone in the house just now?"
Remembering the piece of paper that Feng Duhu put aside when he came in, Madam Right couldn't help but ask.
It was so hot outside that she really didn’t want to go back to the official office in front of the mansion, which was separated by a long distance.
"Oh, it's nothing." Feng Duhu replied casually, "Isn't it just the news from the Wu Kingdom that you sent over."
"Really?" Madam Right was a little surprised, "What's so interesting about that news?"
I don’t know what she was thinking of, but the right lady’s eyes were a little wary and a little strange:
“I didn’t expect you to be so interested in Sun Quan’s harem…”
Hearing this, Feng Duhu almost broke his guard and was so angry that he hit her on the head:
"What are you thinking about? Can Sun Quan's harem matter be an ordinary matter?"
The right lady covered her head, widened her eyes, and asked:
“So you’re interested?”
Sure enough, as you grow older, your preference for women who have been engaged has developed into your preference for other people’s wives?
Feng Duhu raised his hand again as if to strike, and Madam Right couldn't help laughing and turned her head away.
"Isn't it just that Sun Quan wanted to establish a queen but couldn't get it? Is there anything worthy of attention?"
According to Madam You, Sun Quan may be a good player in politics.
But whether it was military or harem matters, they were handled in a mess.
There is absolutely no decisiveness of the founding fathers.
He proclaimed himself emperor and established a prince. He obviously had a main wife, but he wanted to go beyond the main wife and establish a concubine as his queen.
The last person to do this was Cao Rui, right?
If the name is not correct, then the words will not be smooth.
If something is good above, it will be followed below.
If you don’t believe me, look at what the state of Wei is like now.
Not to mention that the main wife, Mrs. Xu, was the adoptive mother of Prince Sun Deng.
The prince and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to establish the Xu family, and according to the rules, they also wanted to establish the Xu family. Sun Quan just wanted to establish the Bu family.
Neither side is willing to give in.
Sun Quan has been emperor for so long that he doesn't even have a harem master.
It's okay now, the Xu family is dead, and the Bu family is also dead. The two sides have no more disputes, and finally reached an agreement to make Yuan family their queen.
Yuan is the daughter of Yuan Shu. After the fourth generation and the third prince, her status is quite good.
It is a pity that after following Sun Quan for so many years, he has no sons or daughters.
You can’t feed your own children, and you can’t feed your adopted ones either.
Yuan refused the position of queen precisely because she had no children.
“This is the third time that Yuan has refused the position of queen.”
The right lady finally came to a conclusion:
“It seems that she is indeed as good as the rumors, and her integrity and conduct are outstanding.”
As the saying goes, there are only three things to do. Since Yuan refused three times in a row, she probably really doesn’t want to be the queen.
“Who does Alang think Sun Quan will appoint as his queen in the end?”
Since she didn’t want to leave the house and feel the heat of midsummer for the time being, Mrs. Right was happy to chat with Feng Duhu.
The affairs of the Xu family, the Bu family, the Yuan family and others, although they involve the palace, are ultimately related to the position of the queen.
The position of queen is not a secret matter of the palace, nor a private matter of the emperor, but an edict to be announced to the world.
Any emperor who is more rational knows this kind of thing, and it is best to reach an agreement with the courtiers.
With the resource support of the Xinghan Society, Ma Dazui is now very prosperous in Wu State, and it is basically effortless to find out about these things.
Feng Duhu shook his head:
"How do I know? If it hadn't been for the news sent back by Ma Dazui, I would have known about the Bu family. I have never heard of Sun Quan's other concubines before."
This is not a lie.
After all, as a pseudo-Three Kingdoms fan in my previous life, how could I not have played Moo Cao Wushuang before traveling through time?
If I remember correctly, the sixth series was the first time the foot trainer appeared, or was it the seventh series?
Anyway, the small appearance is not bad, and it is passable.
She calculated silently and realized that she should be a foot trainer who has seen two series, but could not wait for the eighth series.
Oh, that should be the six series.
In the seventh series, I controlled the character and even agreed to Bu Lianshi’s confession.
I don’t know if the eighth series will be released...
Feng Duhu was thinking wildly, and a look of nostalgia appeared on his face involuntarily.
The lady on the right narrowed her eyes, looking a little dangerous:
“What are you thinking about?”
Feng Duhu was unprepared and replied casually: "Bu family!"
"I heard that Bu was extremely beautiful and was favored by Sun Quan. It is reasonable for Alang to be interested in her. It's a pity. It's a pity that no matter how beautiful she is, she is now reduced to a withered skeleton..."
Feng Duhu then reacted and looked at his right lady who was discussing the women in Sun Quan's harem with him with a serious expression, and couldn't help laughing:
"What are you talking about? Even if she hadn't died, how old would she be now?"
The two daughters he gave birth to were all married, and even the eldest daughter, Sun Luban, was married twice.
The right lady snorted.
In the past, when she had not become a regular woman, she naturally wanted to make this man more affectionate and not to be too devoted to the wife of the wife.
Now she has become a regular employee, and there is even a new person after her.
If your **** is different, your thoughts will naturally be different.
There are five of them in the house, and they are all his golden wind and jade dew. Does he still want to watch countless people in the world?
Mrs. Zuo, when you first took a fancy to him, didn't you just see that he was very different from other men?
If he dared to lie to them for so many years and only revealed his true nature now, he might be trying to hang some unknown object on the roof of the Feng Mansion's warehouse.
The old husband and wife, occasionally fighting, or something, the children's state of children when I was a young age, but I have a small interest.
Of course Feng Duhu didn’t take Mrs. Right’s hum seriously:
"But Siniangqi is right. Sun Quan has been procrastinating on the matter of establishing a queen for a long time, and he even hesitated to have a stalemate with the ministers and even the prince."
"The wives and concubines died one after another. Instead of taking the wife as the queen, they took the posthumous concubine as the queen. This practice is indeed similar to Cao Rui's time."
"It doesn't seem like much on the surface, but I'm afraid it will lay hidden dangers for the future. It's a good thing that Sun Quan can control the court and the palace."
"If you are old and have little energy and cannot control the situation, there will be constant disputes in the court and palace, causing turmoil in the country."
Madam You thought he could say something long, but it turned out to be just wishful thinking.
But she shook her head, obviously disagreeing with Feng Duhu’s opinion:
“Sun Deng, the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, has a long-standing reputation as a virtuous man and is deeply supported by all the ministers in the court. He is about the same age as Alang. Even if Sun Quan is not around, he must be able to stabilize the situation quickly.”
“As for the harem, even if there are some disputes, they are just women competing for favor. How can they cause turmoil in the country?”
If the crown prince of Wu State is young and needs the queen mother to manage the affairs, there may be some possibility.
But Sun Deng was in the golden period of his life.
Then the harem women, even if they are intentional, will not have much influence.
Feng Duhu looked at Mrs. Right in surprise.
I have to say that the current right lady has really good political vision.
In one sentence, he pointed out the fundamental reason for the chaos in the court and the turmoil in the country during the later period of Sun Quan's rise to power.
That was Sun Deng’s sudden death.
Feeling Feng Duhu's gaze, Mrs. Right blinked, somewhat confused.
Feng Duhu forcibly resisted the urge to discuss with his right wife how to add firewood to the state of Wu if Sun Deng really died suddenly.
With some mood swings, Feng Duhu stood up, took two steps, and touched his chin:
"That's not necessarily the case. Sun Quan is about to reach the age of hearing, right? I remember that a few years ago, he specially sent people overseas."
As long as the emperors who are getting older and want to seek immortality, there will be no one who is not fatuous in his later years.
The First Emperor of Qin was like this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was like this, and the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was like this.
These three have already occupied three positions among the top five emperors in Chinese history.
Compared with them, Sun Quan was not even worthy of carrying someone's shoes.
They can't escape, but Sun Quan can escape?
The old husband and wife, Mrs. Right heard the piano and knew elegance.
Not to mention that she personally operated the song "Sleepwalking Tianmu Yin Farewell" back then and managed to send it to Sun Quan.
The most significant result is that Sun Quan ignored public opposition and insisted on going his own way, sending a fleet to sea to search for islands.
But her eyes lit up:
“Alang means, can we do it again?”
Feng Duhu stopped, looked at Mrs. Right, and smiled:
“Think about it carefully, how can you make Sun Quan become more careless?”
“Political affairs?”
You are good or bad!
The couple looked at each other, both of them looking ready to do something bad.
At the end of June of the second year of Yanxi's reign, the Royal Academy officially announced the list of students admitted this year.
None of the talents recommended from various places were selected into the academy. It was only said that they would be sent to counties and villages for a period of one year.
Those talented students who are determined to serve the country can use half a year to report in Chang'an.
After the imperial meeting next year, the emperor will personally serve wine in Chang'an City to see him off, similar to the way the emperor of the Han Dynasty sent off the guards of the capital.
If you can pass the assessment during the next year's time in the countryside, you can enter the college to study.
Those who perform well in the assessment can be directly recommended for official employment.
If you do not want to become an official, but still want to continue your studies first, your achievements can be accumulated, and when you encounter promotion in the future, you can give priority to your replacement.
The imperial examination is just a new thing, and there is no perfect explanation as to how the rules should be set.
After all, so many people have been recommended from various places, and most of them have the intention of “casting the net wide and catching more fish”.
Coupled with the example of the Liangzhou examination, although many people are dissatisfied with going to the countryside for a year to observe the people's sentiments, it does not mean that it is unacceptable.
After all, the emperor personally served wine to see him off, and the court had already given him enough face.
For the emperor’s herdsmen, the emperor serves wine to thank you, what else do you want?
"Ji Yan, Ji Yan, I won! I won! I will be able to enter school the year after next at the latest."
Du Yu, who has always wanted to study at the Royal Academy, actually still felt a little uneasy after talking to his family.
After all, although he is not very old, he is not a child of an ordinary family.
Even if the Lord didn’t explain clearly, he could vaguely guess that something was going on between the imperial court and the aristocratic families in Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Hedong and other places.
Jingzhao Du family, although considered a famous family, was in decline after all. It only had an empty name and little strength.
If the number of places is limited, whether you can win over others in the end is still a question.
This worry was finally dispelled after the Royal Academy announced the list.
There is still a one-year assessment period before admission. Although you may not be able to get rid of the influence of your family, I think your personal abilities can be used normally.
At this point, Du Yu, who is not famous, is very confident.
Of course, Du Yu also has this confidence. If not, he would not dare to say that he wants to make contributions.
Pei Xiu had long known that his friend wanted to enter the academy. Although his wish was not fulfilled at this time, it was still half the success.
As for whether he can succeed in the end, Pei Xiu, who was born as a child prodigy, still believes in the opponent's ability.
He worked in the Weijuan camp in Hedong to help the army, and was later sent to rebuild Tongguan, and then to repair the Zhengguo Canal.
For Pei Xiu, Pei Xiu knows best what the rules for decentralization to counties and townships formulated by Chief Feng personally look like.
But I saw him reminding me:
"Yuan Kai, this decentralization to counties and villages is an extremely tiring task. You must be prepared and don't be careless."
Du Yu smiled and said:
"Even if Ji Yan doesn't say it, I still want to ask. What should I do about this so-called decentralization to counties and villages? Does Ji Yan know the regulations?"
Pei Xiu couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought about the two years he had worked with his husband.
“When we go to counties and villages and understand the people’s conditions, we don’t just talk casually, but we really have to work in the fields.”
Du Yu was startled: "Working in the fields?"
Pei Xiu nodded:
"Yes, if my guess is correct, Yuan Kai will be sent to counties and villages together with the college students who graduated this year. They are internships, and you are the assessment."
Those college students are not as reserved as ordinary scholars. They are the ones who can really roll up their trousers and work in the fields.
Hearing what Pei Xiu said, Du Yu became curious and urged to elaborate.
Pei Xiu has officially entered the academy for more than half a year, but when he thinks of the two years of studying while working, he feels that he has benefited a lot.
So we came one by one.
After listening to what Pei Xiu said, Du Yu was a little worried:
“Hearing what Pei Xiu said, I don’t mind, but if you can study in an academy, what hardships can you endure?”
“But the children of other aristocratic families, most of whom are well-off and well-off, may not be able to endure this hardship. Isn’t it likely that they will cause another disturbance?”
Pei Xiu didn’t understand what Du Yu was worried about:
"If they can't endure this hardship, wouldn't Yuan Kai have a greater chance of passing the examination?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Du Yu shook his head, "Everything must be done within a certain limit. If the turmoil is not big and does not affect the assessment, it will naturally be a good thing for me."
“But if it gets too big, who knows what Chief Feng Shan will think? Isn’t this the case with the previous flashy cases of Wei thieves?”
The flashy case implicated most of the young students in Wei.
Feng Duhu has a great reputation and has been on the battlefield for many years. He is a resolute person and will definitely not be threatened by others.
If someone is ignorant and thinks he can intimidate people to cause trouble, and he really wants to annoy him, who knows what will happen?
Hearing what Du Yu said, Pei Xiu smiled and said:
“Yuan Kai’s concern leads to chaos. How can we compare Wei’s flashy case with our government’s devolution of counties and townships? As everyone knows, the purpose of decentralizing counties and townships is to let students know practical matters and avoid flashiness.”
“As long as Yuan Kai can be pragmatic in the county and township, what’s the point of worrying?”
Du Yu knew that Pei Xiu was highly valued by Feng Duhu. When he heard what he said, he immediately felt relaxed:
“With Ji Yan’s words, I know what to do.”
After thinking for a moment, he asked in a low voice:
“According to Ji Yan, if I could choose where to go, where would be the best place for me to go?”
“Since it is the east of the river.”
