One thousand two hundred and ten, the state of Wei can't respect literature and suppress martial art
After successive failures, the defeat of the scholars did not end.
Later, Cao Cao proposed that local natural disasters frequently occur, which is very harmful to agricultural production. As the main person in charge of this area, the local administrative officer cannot be unaware of it once a disaster occurs, so he must have knowledge in this area.
Mr. Guo continued to sage and nodded in agreement.
He believes that local officials must also have common knowledge and knowledge on natural disaster prevention and control, and this aspect also needs to be taught in the Imperial Academy.
Therefore, natural disaster prevention and control has also become a must-have content for the imperial examination.
The situation is no longer very good for scholars.
Finally, Guo Jia didn't know what kind of psychology he proposed that the body is the capital of officials in politics. Now some officials are powerless and weak. How can such people bear the burden of state government affairs?
With this emotion, Guo Jia lifted up his sleeves and showed off his strong biceps.
"Your Majesty said back then that the body of an official is very important. In recent years, it has been constantly emphasizing that officials should pay attention to physical exercise and equipped all the official offices with exercise equipment. I think Your Majesty is very correct in doing so.
Without a good body, you cannot take on a big task. A sick man went to the local area to take office and lay on the hospital bed before he started working. So what else can he do? Therefore, I suggest that whether the body is healthy and strong is included in the scope of the imperial examination."
Guo Jia's suggestion was beyond Guo Peng's expectations, but Guo Peng immediately felt that it was necessary.
In order not to let the officials of Wei degenerate into a weak state without any power, and not to be inferior to all the people of Wei, who are too proud of their literature and martial arts, Guo Peng felt that it was necessary to add sports to the imperial examination.
There is a golden house in the book, which is a must.
This is the only way to open the road to heaven. If you don’t promote it like this, it will not stimulate the reading craze in the whole society to compete with the foundation of scholars.
It is not human nature that we are not saints. We do not work so hard for fame and fortune, nor for a better future. We will not work so hard for studying and exam work.
But we must not overdo it, we must not give up because of the choke. We advocate reading and exams, and we will make everything inferior, but we can only study well, so that we can embark on the old path of the Song Dynasty.
Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty wrote a poem that encouraged learning with a very likable style, but just one likable poem that wrote the hearts of the people.
In just a few dozen words, the Zhao family's imperial examination was already sold.
A rich family does not have to buy fertile land, but there are thousands of millets in the books; there are no need to build a high hall when you live in peace, but there are golden houses in the books...
Reading, exams, and fame, fortune and status are unprecedentedly linked.
Since then, ordinary people can also learn civil and military skills and imperial families.
However, the Zhao Song Empire attached too much importance to reading and the Five Classics exams, so that the Emperor of the Zhao family said all the [men want to fulfill their life aspirations and read the Five Classics diligently in front of the window].
If a man wants to realize his ambitions, he must study hard.
This was not wrong, but the Zhao Song Empire obviously went too far.
There are indeed not many dynasties that can do such things by killing the military talents of their own country too much, allowing literati who have not learned military, have no professional experience or war experience to fight.
The disadvantages of doing this are naturally obvious.
The Zhao Song Empire was indeed rich, but its military facts were nothing to say.
Professional things should be done by professionals, while strangling military generals and allowing literati to lead troops to fight. This kind of thing that takes off his pants and farts... cannot be blamed on the Song Dynasty.
It is no wonder that the Song people were worried about the things that emperors took turns doing in the Five Dynasties and the past when they mutinyed and became emperors.
Today the army is unhappy and a change of emperor. tomorrow the army is unhappy and a change of emperor. The emperor must lead troops to fight and have prestige. Soldiers must interfere in politics and have real power as the governor. The country is divided into jurisdictions of large and small.
The emperor was a big warlord, and the generals below were small warlords who did their own things. They grimaced at the emperor at any time. The emperor was old and had no prestige or died, and the little emperor could not sit steadily.
Local people suffered tragic disasters and the country was in poverty. Some famous cities were actually to the point of selling human flesh. The government did not have copper coins, but actually used iron to cast coins. It was still pitiful.
In that mode, what can the army be stronger?
Not a bunch of **s?
Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang went south to the Central Plains and entered Kaifeng. He wanted to be the emperor of the Chinese and almost hundreds of years ahead of the Wanyan family to realize his long-cherished wish. Which of the powerful warlords stopped him?
The legacy since the Middle Tang Dynasty was not truly resolved until Zhao Kuangyin released his military power with a cup of wine. The painful experience of military men interfering in politics and always having military coups came to an end, which was a great pleasure.
In order to consolidate this achievement, Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Heng were all spared no effort to improve the political status of literati and suppress the right to speak in military generals.
Against this background, Emperor Zhao Song wrote limericks and vigorously promoted the way of becoming an official in the study and examination, which was natural.
The problem was finally solved, but this solution led the Song Empire to another extreme, and the other extreme suspicion of military generals to prevent military generals from suppressing military generals.
Without military academies, the military exercises are meaningless. In conjunction with the entire society's wave of worshipping culture and suppressing martial arts, the military tragedy of the Song Dynasty was a foregone conclusion.
Mr. Guo can't do this.
Although he would also prevent the military generals from becoming bigger and set a lot of rules for this, he would definitely not reach the level of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhao Heng's advice to learn poetry will never be "written".
The State of Wei cannot respect civil and military affairs.
In order to prevent this phenomenon from happening with the growth of the imperial examination, martial arts and martial arts are imperative.
Martial people should be strong, but this does not mean that warriors are all rough, and warriors should also read and read and learn to learn and gain knowledge.
Military people should study, be wise, understand astronomy, geography, and understand intrigue.
It’s just that the teaching materials you study are different, and you only have specialized in your profession.
Military men can also have high education.
So while strongly supporting Guo Jia's suggestion, Guo began to personally formulate physical requirements for the imperial examination, and began to work hard on the martial arts.
He decided to implement a policy of equal importance to both civil and military affairs. The civil and military affairs must be carried out at the same time, and the selection should be carried out at the same time. After passing the exam, the top three civil and military affairs and the top three military officials are qualified to accept the commendation of the Imperial Street Promotion Officer.
This demonstrates the Wei Empire's attitude of paying equal importance to both civil and military affairs.
In terms of physical tests in the imperial examination, the first thing is to run around the circle. Guo stipulates how many laps of a large circle of about 400 meters in one stick of incense are considered qualified.
Then, according to Mr. Guo’s bad taste, add some interesting content, such as long jump, push-ups, or curls.
Anyway, he is the emperor, and he will follow him in this regard as soon as he opens his mouth.
These are also rigid regulations and are the contents that must be tested.
I know that in order to be an official and scholar, it is necessary to maintain a good body before becoming an official.
Guo Peng praised Guo Jia's suggestions and included Guo Jia's suggestions in the scope of the imperial examination. Then many officials looked at Guo Jia, who had been showing off his figure and muscles just now with strange eyes.
What the hell is going on with this guy...
After all the matters in Wenju, the cabinet connected with the Ministry of Rites to handle the matter, and began to prepare for the imperial examination for the eighth year of Yande from now on.
