Chapter 73: Life and Death and Death and Zi Chengyue

Chen Ying was silent. He had become an official for such a time, and knew the degree of advancement and retreat. Now he is a guest of the East Palace, and the left and right guards of the East Palace are still a vain official after all. Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng could just stretch out a finger and knock him back to his original form.

Isn't it a test for Li Jiancheng to hand over the troops of the left and right guards to him in the name of the left and right guards' command, the left and right guards' commands to him in the name of the procuratorate. Isn't it a test? Chen Ying didn't believe that Li Jiancheng could not see that the fort built by Chen Ying exceeded the scale of an ordinary manor, or even the size of the county town. For example, the Ancient City of Loulan, the area is nearly 120,000 square meters and the circumference is only more than 1,300 meters. Chen Ying's fort is rectangular, forty-eight meters long from east to west and wide, about fifty-seven meters wide from north to south, about fifty-seven meters and nine feet.

It can be said that in terms of scale, it is more than three times that of Loulan Ancient City. This is no longer a county town, but at least it is a city at the state city level.

Chen Ying was silent, Li Xiuning was not silent. She said coldly: "There are more than a thousand large and small forts in Hedong. The largest fortress is Xuejia Fort built by Xue Daoheng in Hedong. Liu Wuzhou invaded Hedong. Except for Haozhou, all prefectures and counties were trapped. Only Xuejia Fort stood firm. Xiao Deyin, the general of Liu Wuzhou, led 20,000 troops. It took more than a month and could not advance in an inch. Instead, it lost 5,000 troops. However, Xuejia Fort was only 167 feet long."

Facing the aggressive Li Xiuning, Chen Ying suddenly remembered the "About Coming" and immediately had an idea. Chen Ying thought carefully: "Your Majesty does not like aristocratic families, and the nobles control the government from generation to generation?"

Li Xiuning nodded, and suddenly turned cold: "Don't change the topic, what are you doing to build a city here?"

"The ninth-rank official law founded by Chen Qun seems to show the prestige of the court, but the aristocratic families are too big to lose. They gradually get rid of the country's sincerity and turn into the country's borer!" Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said, "You don't object to this, right?"

Although Li Xiuning wanted to know what Chen Ying sold in the gourd, Li Xiuning felt that what Chen Ying said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Chen Ying said: "It is difficult for a poor family to have a noble son, so you don't object to this, right?"

Li Xiuning nodded, and she was even more confused at this time.

"When I was in the study just now, I was a little insincere!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "The Sui Dynasty was destroyed by the aristocratic families, so this made Your Majesty very alert, and he was determined to change the aristocratic families like the Tang Dynasty to control the government."

"What does this have to do with your city building?" Li Xiuning turned around and walked downstairs.

"Why doesn't it matter? Why don't you understand?" Chen Ying said: "In the seventh year of Kaihuang, Emperor Wen issued an order to divide the imperial examinations. In the 38 years of the Sui Dynasty, a total of ten scholars and fifty Jinshi were admitted (12 imperial examinations were admitted in each of the Sui Dynasty, four or five times. This book is calculated in five times). Among them, the children of aristocratic families in various places account for two-thirds of the quota. However, now, where are these one-third poor scholars now?"

During the Sui Dynasty, scholars were not the general term for scholars in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Scholars originally referred to as talented people with extraordinary talents, similar to the "scholars" in the Book of Rites. They were a general term, not limited to reading scriptures. In the early Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen Yang Jian had a long-term vision and abolished the "Nine-rank Zhongzheng" system and replaced it with scholars. In the second year of Daye of Emperor Yang of Sui (606 AD), an advanced method of talent selection - the establishment of Jinshi.

Its characteristic is that it specializes in selecting talents through examinations, rather than being recommended by local authorities. The Jinshi examination system announced the birth of the imperial examination system in China.

In the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, scholars were the best candidates for the tribute: "Du Shi Tongdian" says, "The first scholars are the highest in the academic year, with five strategies and strategies, including four levels of superiors, superiors, superiors, superiors, and superiors." Scholars were a handsome candidate who was knowledgeable, highly talented, strong academics and knowledgeable. Because the standards of scholars were too high, there were only ten scholars in the Sui Dynasty.

Li Xiuning hesitated, she really didn't know these relatively indifferent knowledge.

Chen Ying said: "In the seventh year of Kaihuang, the first scholar came from Sun Renzu, Longmen. Sun Renzu was appointed as the county-level judicial minister (minister of the county-level judicial department, equivalent to the president of the court and the director of the public security bureau), and later moved to the prefect of Pingliang County. In the fifth year of Daye, he was reported by others. After Yang Guang verified that Sun Renzu was corruption and bribed and was ordered to be confiscated by Yang Guang, and his home was 500 million yuan. He was a thousand yuan in land under his name."

Li Xiuning said in surprise: "In just over twenty years, he has embezzled so much money?"

Chen Ying said: "From the perspective of human nature, this is understandable. A person who is afraid of being poor can easily get lost when he sees money. In the 18th year of Kaihuang, Zhang Lianshan, a native of Wucheng, Wuxing County, was appointed as the Qiantang Order, was good at deciding prisons and enforcing the law fairly. He was highly praised. In the third year of Daye, Daye was promoted to the Minister of Justice, and was first promoted to the Minister of Justice. In the ninth year of Daye, he was first transferred to the Minister of Justice. During the rebellion of Yang Xuangan, he led tens of thousands of troops to attack Yang Xuangan with the Minister of Justice Wei Xuan. Zhang Lianshan surrendered to Yang Xuangan. Wei Xuan was defeated and was later confiscated and asked to beheaded. Isn't it amazing?"

Li Xiuning felt it was very ridiculous. Zhang Lianshan was favored by Yang Guang and his son, and he was promoted to the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Justice in just over a decade. Such a person was even a thief. If he was defeated and captured, he had to commit himself to follow the thief in order to pray for his life. However, Zhang Lianshan took the initiative to surrender, and this nature was completely different.

"In the ninth year of Daye, Zhao Shao from Yingchuan was appointed as the Jiuquan Order. In the 13th year of Daye, Li Gui rose up and Zhao Shao surrendered to Li Gui."

"In the fifth year of Daye, Hao Yuan, the magistrate of Jincheng County, surrendered to Xue Ju in the 13th year of Daye, and planned to be the master of Xue Ju."

...

Li Xiuning asked for a long time: "What's going on? How do you remember so clearly?"

Chen Ying moved away and found a wooden table in front of Chen Ying, with dense small characters engraved on it.

Li Xiuning asked in surprise: "What is this?"

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "This is what I am going to compile a book in the future called "Biography of the Two Ministers."

"so what?"

"So, I built such a huge fort to teach students and instill them with loyalty to the king and the country, and to contribute subsistence to the people." Chen Ying smiled and said, "What kind of talents does Your Majesty want to use in the future? Aristocratic clans have aristocratic clans, poor families have poor families, skillful craftsmanship, and actors have actors."

Li Xiuning said slightly and said, "It turns out that Sanniang was rude just now and misunderstood Chen Lang."

Li Xiuning's posture was freely changed, and Chen Ying couldn't react for a moment.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Xiuning stared at Chen Ying calmly.

Chen Ying was a little embarrassed by Li Xiuning's view.

Chen Yinglianrong said sternly: "Does Sanniang really think I want to rebel? The Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty have long been yesterday. The Hou Mo Chen clan has no chance to rise. The Hou Mo Chen clan has been invincible for many generations, and all dynasties have been afraid of it. Who would give Hou Mo Chen clan a chance to rise? Although the world is big, I am afraid that the Hou Mo Chen clan will not tolerate the Hou Mo Chen clan."

Li Xiuning stared at Chen Ying's eyes calmly, "But, but ah, I'm here, will I watch Chen Lang stand by and watch?"

Chen Ying's heart seemed to sting Li Xiuning's gaze. He asked without moving his voice: "Yi Sanniang, what should I do to eliminate Your Majesty's grudge?"

"I am a woman and I just talk casually," Li Xiuning smiled and said whisperingly, "Why is Chen Lang serious again?"

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning's eyes, as bright as a varnish, and the end was so beautiful, "Do you know what I think the most?"

"What do you think?"
