What the emperor wants to do is never ignoring your identity.

The royal relatives, like Cao and Mi, were punished and suppressed by him.

At this point, Pang Tong and Cai Mao knew that they were powerless.

"Uncle, this matter is probably true."

Pang Tong said helplessly: "Your Majesty probably really wants to do this. He really wants you to go to the wilderness of the border to broadcast education and teach those uncivilized people..."

"ah?"

Pang Degong almost couldn't stand firm, but fortunately, Cai Mao was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he supported him.

"how so……"

Sima Hui looked around and felt very powerless.

"I...I'll talk to Kong Ming about this matter. Is it too late?"

Huang Chengyan was anxious and went to the hospital for treatment, and actually thought of going to talk to Zhuge Liang, a son-in-law who was far away in the Western Regions.

Zhuge Liang has now become a high-ranking official of two thousand stones. I think he should have some say, so he might be able to help him.

Huang Chengyan believes that doing this makes sense.

Pang Tong shook his head with a wry smile.

Still looking for Zhuge Liang?

I'm afraid you're on the way before the letter has been delivered to Zhuge Liang.

And this matter is really nothing to say.

Pang Tong had something to say, so he looked at Cai Mao and signaled Cai Mao to say it.

Cai Mao certainly knew what Pang Tong meant.

Good you Pang Shiyuan!

Let me be this evil man!

But there is no way, he really has to say about this matter.

"Pang Gong, Huang Gong, Sima Gong, some things are not as simple as you think. Pang Gong, Huang Gong and Sima Gong have children, and the students are officials in the court, with a large number of people, the highest number of states in the world. Now, there are really many people in the court who are dissatisfied with this."

Cai Mao decided to peel off this matter and explain everything clearly, tell them to let them know the importance of this matter.

After he said this, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui turned a little.

Is there any hidden truth behind the relationship?

No, it is not a hidden truth, but a human heart.

It was the dissatisfaction of the senior officials in the court that the Jingzhou people had an absolute advantage in the imperial examination.

After several years of imperial examinations, all the top scorers in the scientific examinations were from Jingzhou, and none of them were from other states.

About 40% of the top ten people come from Jingzhou, not elsewhere.

Jingzhou has made the imperial examination like this. For people from other states, they are unwilling to accept the situation where high-ranking officials and nobles in the court are all from Jingzhou in the next 20 or 30 years.

The imperial examination is not about selecting outstanding students or providing talents to society, so the one who chooses is an official.

He is an official who holds administrative power.

He is an official who can dominate the future trend of the empire.

Political significance is far greater than all other meanings, so in the scope of the imperial examination, it is certain that political leadership is taken. The strength of Jingzhou people will inevitably arouse fear from other states.

Therefore, some people have repeatedly stated that this situation cannot be maintained, otherwise it will be very unfavorable for the stability of the court in the future. At that time, all people from Jingzhou will be officials. What should we do?

It is not good for us and not good for the imperial power. There are too many people in Jingzhou and forming a natural alliance. Is it beneficial for the imperial power?

No!

Obviously, the emperor has accepted this argument now.

"Before leaving, Your Majesty discussed this issue with us in the Nanshu Room, saying that the people of Jingzhou were too excellent in scientific research, which aroused everyone's dissatisfaction and jealousy.

If the court does not make any adjustments and does not change the situation, the people of Jingzhou will soon face the joint attacks of other forces in the court."

Pang Tong said nervously: "The court seems stable now, but in fact it is in a turmoil. All parties and factions are fighting for the previous matter of the crown prince's concubine. Many relationships have broken down. No one knows if there will be any chaos.

I, the attendant of the Nanshufang, was also uneasy. We were all officials from our respective offices. We were selected to be attendant of His Majesty. Although it was enviable, we were also guarded and dissatisfied by our superiors.

Before I set off, I heard that the cabinet minister Cao had complained about Xu Yuanzhi, who was also a attendant, and the tyrannical Sili Captain Cheng Zhongde had been dormant for several months without taking action. This made people wonder what he was thinking about.

Now no one knows when he will suddenly start to explode again. The current situation is very dangerous. We Jingzhou people can't take the lead. If we take the lead, we will be hit first!"

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan looked nervous, but Sima Hui, who was from Yingchuan but had too much to do with Jingzhou, had a bad expression.

When Cai Mao saw that Pang Tong told the truth, he felt that he wanted to tell some truths that Pang Tong was inconvenient to say.

If the Jingzhou faction was brutally suppressed, his career as the governor of Jingzhou would end.

"There are quite a lot of people in Jingzhou who are currently working in the court. Pang Gong, your son is also working in the court, and Huang Gong's son-in-law Zhuge Kongming. The current situation is more like protection than suppression."

Cai Mao explained this matter from another perspective.

"If the people of Jingzhou are dissatisfied with the officials in the court, the future of the officials in Jingzhou will be dangerous. His Majesty admires many people in Jingzhou. His Majesty does not want these people to be affected and their future will be damaged. Therefore, he decided to take the academic hall and show it to the people of the world."

If Cai Mao said this, there was nothing wrong with it, because this was indeed a consideration of Guo Peng.

If the people of Jingzhou really get angry, it is not easy for him to be too partial.

At that time, the Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Jiang Wan whom he admires will be implicated, and the people related to them will also be implicated.

This will have a certain impact on his future government structure.

So as the emperor, he had to solve the problem before this factional struggle broke out, so that the Jingzhou faction could not be taken away by this wave.

However, this matter has developed to this point, and it is also caused by the fact that people in Jingzhou are too sharp and unconscious.

Since the start of the scientific examination, you are from Jingzhou every year, and you are too ignorant of advancing and retreating.

If we wait for twenty or thirty years, wouldn’t we all want you Jingzhou people to be cows and horses?

It would be better to destroy you now.

Cai Mao said this, and Pang Degong and the other three also basically understood the causes and consequences of this matter.

Now that things have come to this point, they find that they have no way out.

Everyone in the world has a deep resentment towards the people of Jingzhou and the Jingzhou Xueyetang. If they don’t know what to do or how to restrain themselves, they may soon storm against the people of Jingzhou in the court.

This is not a joke.

When Guo Peng defeated the power of the scholars in Qing, Yan and Ji, they were not without causing any trouble behind the scenes.

But at this time, it was their turn.

The one who fueled the fire became those who had been suppressed, and everything seemed to be going around and back.

Obviously, Mr. Guo is just doing things in a more orderly manner.

After understanding the essence of this matter, Pang Degong and the other three knew very well that they actually had no choice.

Facing the fierce Emperor Wei and the other forces behind Emperor Wei, they have no ability to resist and have no bargaining skills, so they can only choose to obey.

Otherwise, the entire Jingzhou official forces would be dealt with by the emperor.

Now that things have come to this point, there is nothing to say. Faced with heavy pressure, in order to protect the precious political forces that Jingzhou people have finally cultivated, these great scholars and celebrities have more or less chosen to compromise and give in.

The emperor asked them to leave and they would leave, which was better than taking the blame.

Occasionally, some people who are hard to leave their hometowns and want to leave are persuaded by relatives and friends, but they still accept their fate in tears.

What if you don’t accept your fate?

At the end of February of the 11th year of Yande, Emperor Guo Peng summoned Jingzhou's officials to manage academic affairs and the main managers of Jingzhou Academic Hall in Jingzhou to inform them of the specific situation.

For example, I decided to divide the teaching staff of Jingzhou Xueye Hall into several equal parts and evenly distribute them to areas with scarce educational resources and low educational levels.

For example, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Pingzhou, and Mozhou are the four major states in the northern border, as well as Yunzhou and Jiaozhou are the two southern states, as well as Liangzhou and the three major prophets.

Anyone who is not in the traditional Han area is in areas with scarce educational resources and low education levels. The education in these places is not obvious, the people's literacy rate is low, the knowledge level is backward, and the number of people who can become officials is too small. Some even the township chiefs have to be mobilized from the Central Plains.

These are the reasons for the lack of education.

Not only Jingzhou, Guo Peng also announced that he will invest the advantageous educational resources of Qingzhou, Jizhou and Yanzhou in combination with some of the educational resources of Luoyang Taixue to these marginal prefectures and counties to improve their educational standards.

Guo Peng believes that only by educating and broadcasting the Central Plains culture can they generate centripetal force and cohesion.

Let them pass the imperial examination and become officials, and they can go to Luoyang to participate in imperial management, which will help people in these places truly identify with themselves as Wei people.

Sometimes the dissemination of culture has to rely on administrative orders and overall planning. Otherwise, places with good economy will always be places with rich educational resources, while places with backward economy will always lack educational resources.

Inadequate education and insufficient channels for promotion will cause these places to generate centrifugal force over the empire, which is not conducive to centralized rule.

And more importantly, the imperial examinations are facing the whole country and have never been just academic competition, but political means.

The most important significance of the imperial examination is to select talents from all regions, win over elite talents from all regions, and maintain their centripetal force to the central government.

Once an uncertain factor breaks this balance and challenges the significance of the existence of the imperial examination, the authority of the central government will also be challenged.
