Chapter 1381: Four subjects for selecting officials (rewards for thousands of snow-filled rewards) (Page 1/1)

Seeing that Huang Wan vomited blood, Sun Ce did not pursue and beat him again. Huang Wan's mental defenses had been broken, his self-esteem had been destroyed, and he would fall into endless self-blame and take the initiative to seek self-salvation. At this time, he should ease it. If he pressed too hard, he would probably commit suicide directly, which was not the result he hoped.

It is easy to destroy a person physically, but just a knife is enough, and it is even more difficult to destroy a person spiritually. Especially a famous scholar like Huang Wan, who is a strong inner person, cannot do it without some means. Without Guo Jia's assistance, he would not have done it before, and he would never have thought about why Yuan Shao did not recruit Huang Wan, who was the governor of Yuzhou at the time, to Beijing.

Sun Ce called He Kui and asked him to see Huang Wan's injuries. He Kui was in the room opposite, watching Sun Ce and Huang Wan talking through the window, but didn't know what they said specifically. When he heard Sun Ce's call, he rushed over immediately. When he saw the blood on the desk, he was shocked and quickly called. Huang Wan woke up, forced to sit up, pushed He Kui away, and stared at Sun Ce.

"No wonder Xu Zi will leave his hometown. The general is indeed eloquent and his lips are like a knife."

"Are you saying I'm slandering you?" Sun Ce asked back.

Huang Wan shook her head powerlessly and looked depressed. "I didn't say you slander me, I just said you were sharp. I was over fifty years old, and I followed my father to experience official career in my childhood. I have seen many lobbyists and debaters, and only a handful of people can match you. General Sun, it's a pity that you were born five hundred years late. If you were born in the seven kingdoms, even Su Qin and Zhang Yi would avoid you."

"Mr. Huang, I am really disappointed when you say this." Sun Ce sighed softly, revealing a little regret. "I am the heartfelt words, but you think I am a clever tongue, which is really a waste of my efforts. Well, I am not aware of my own eyes and trouble myself, so I say goodbye."

Sun Ce got up and was about to leave. Huang Wan smiled bitterly and tried hard to raise his hand. "General Sun stayed. I didn't say you were clever, I just... I was just disappointed with myself. I have cultivated myself and became a hypocrite for the rest of my life." When he said the last few words, he couldn't control his emotions, and a few old tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He Kui was shocked and didn't know what Sun Ce said, so he made Huang Wan vomit blood first, and then made Huang Wan cry.

When Sun Ce saw Huang Wan claiming to be a hypocrite, he felt a little more respect. A few people who are as famous as Huang Wan were willing to admit that they were a hypocrite. He sat down again. "Mr. Huang doesn't have to be like this. How can he be born as a human being? A saint is a goal after all, and even for Mr. Huang, this goal is a bit high. Why not let us settle for the second best?"

Huang Wan looked at Sun Ce fiercely. Sun Ce gave in, but this did not make him feel better, but instead put him in greater pressure.

"Sheng Xiaozhang of Kuaiji wrote an article, but I wonder if Mr. Huang has read it?"

"Is the general talking about the way of literature and martial arts?" Seeing that Sun Ce stopped mentioning Li Ru's article, Huang Wan calmed down a little.

"I heard that the Huang family in Jiangxia is not a Nigu family. They have a desire to change for a long time, which has made the great father, Duke Shiying, who has been filial and virtuous and capable of politics, and has set the stage for the first time. I want to know more, especially the gains and losses of Duke Shiying's original intention of doing this. Duke Huang has been with Duke Shiying for many years, and I believe he knows it very well. If you can write it down and learn from it, it will be considered a merit."

Huang Wan was surprised. "Do you still know about this?"

He Kui was also surprised. But what was even more surprised was Huang Wan's reaction. He was so angry that he vomited blood just now that Sun Ce was so angry that he vomited blood. Why was he so excited in a blink of an eye? But that was true, how could Sun Ce know about Huang Qiong? It was all about thirty years ago.

Sun Ce smiled, very polite, and a little shy. "Although I read less, I can still listen to my opinions, as long as it is not a big reason for bluffing. Huang Gong must also know that in order to train generals and schools, I built a martial arts lecture hall, to train craftsmen, I built a wooden school, and to train doctors, I built a Bencao cottage, but what I want to build the most is actually a government affairs hall for cultivating officials. I originally hoped that the county school could undertake this task, but unfortunately, the teacher of the county school was more willing to be a doctor and was not interested in these mundane affairs."

Huang Wan sneered, with a little more arrogance and disdain between her eyebrows and eyes. "How can a common scholar know about political affairs? The general hopes that county schools can teach capable officials. It is impossible to avoid looking for fish from trees and being foolish."

"Oh, why?" Sun Ce looked surprised, but he felt secretly proud. He knew that he had scratched Huang Wan's itchy flesh.

Before this, Sun Ce only knew that the Huang family in Jiangxia was the leading aristocratic family in Jiangxia. He didn't know how strong it was. Thanks to Guo Jiazhi's gift, he had a lot of knowledge about the Huang family in Jiangxia. Although the Huang family in Jiangxia was not as good as the Yuan family and Yang family, the Yang family, was also a first-class family. Starting from Huang Wan's great-grandfather Huang Xiang, the Huang family in Jiangxia began to develop, and it has been nearly a hundred years since then. Huang Xiang served as a prodigy and became the Shangshu Ling; Huang Wan's grandfather Huang Qiong became the Taiwei and was also the teacher of Emperor Huan of Han; Huang Wan's father died early, and Huang Wan lived with his grandfather Huang Qiong since childhood and knew a lot of knowledge about the court. Later, he transferred to local and court offices, with rich experience and strong administrative abilities, and was a rare capable official.

Such a person naturally looked down on those Confucian scholars who studied hard. Starting from Huang Xiang, although the Huang family was also good at learning, they were famous for their good at handling government affairs. Huang Xiang was a scholar and was well-versed in border defense. Huang Qiong made many suggestions to assist Emperor Huan of Han in reform, hoping to save the ills of the times and save the generals. The most famous of these is the four subjects of the selection of officials proposed by Huang Qiong.

The Eastern Han Dynasty emphasized Confucianism, and a large number of Confucian scholars entered the government, which had a serious impact on administration. Many Confucian scholars were good at speech, were short of practice, and were very informal when talking about the truth, which caused concerns among knowledgeable people. During the reign of Emperor Shun of Han, Zuo Xiong first reformed the method of selecting officials, limiting the age of filial and honest officials, hoping to select officials who could truly handle government affairs. During the reign of Emperor Huan of Han, Huang Qiong proposed to pay attention to administrative abilities and expand the scope of selecting officials from Confucian scholars to capable officials. Huang Wan later served as the general of the Five-Secret General, and selected the Three Divisions of the Office with Chen Fan, which was based on the standard of Huang Qiong.

Reform always offends people. Huang Wan and Chen Fan were soon framed and slandered as cliques. Chen Fan was removed from office, Huang Wan was imprisoned, and the reform ended without success. In the late Guanghe period, Huang Wan returned and wanted to inherit Huang Qiong's will, but chaos had already emerged. The Yellow Turbans started the matter the next year, and it was impossible to propose the reform of the official selection system at this time.

This incident was both Huang Wan's pride and an unforgettable pain for Huang Wan. He often felt that if Emperor Huan of Han had not died so early, things would not have developed to this point. Now he heard Sun Ce mention the four departments of selecting officials, mentioning Huang Qiong's reforms, intending to build a government affairs hall to cultivate capable officials who are familiar with government affairs, and continuing Huang Qiong and his unfinished career, he was deeply moved. He had imagined a lot, and even thought that Sun Ce might use him to deal with Yuan Shao, but he did not expect that Sun Ce would mention the four departments of selecting officials to him.

But if you think about it carefully, it is normal. It is impossible to reform when the court survives and falls. Yuan Shao established himself as a noble family, and he would not easily change the official selection system that is beneficial to the noble family. Only Sun Ce dares to be the first in the world and pays attention to strength. It is normal for him to select more officials with actual administrative abilities.

No wonder he didn't kill himself, and he spent so much verbal talk to force himself to face the thief in his heart. This was the original purpose. It was not enough for him to take Zhu Jun to be a martial arts lecture hall, and he also wanted to help him build a government affairs hall, cultivate officials, and carry forward the last wishes of his father Huang Qiong.

Huang Wan looked at the book stained with blood on the table and sighed softly. "I didn't expect that Shi Yinggong's soulmate would be a young martial artist. It's really a blessing to make people."
