Many times, whether the imperial court's official selection system is effective or not will also prompt the country's prosperity and decline. Official governance is an enterprising tree that the people of the world rely on. If the root system is not developed and unclear, they will lose a lot of trust, and the officials will force the people to rebel and the people will be resentful.

From the ancient books of Tianlu Pavilion, Liu Che learned things he had never learned seriously before. The pre-Qin system buried in the dust was so close and so real to him.

He roughly sorted out this process.

In the earliest days, the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties implemented the system of family and family wealth, and began to form a monopoly of family and world. By the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period, the ruling class reformed the old system, and even in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, they appointed some people with low status and outstanding talents, including Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Shang Yang, Guan Zhong and others who were more famous.

In the middle and late Warring States period, a system of military merits and titles emerged, and the style of raising scholars emerged, recruiting talents with talented and good speech. Regardless of their origin, serving the king and princes, became the standard for the hegemons of various countries. By the Qin Dynasty, the selection of fields and military merits was based on the selection of officials, but in general, these were not a complete selection of officials.

In the Han Dynasty, in order to adapt to the needs of national rule, a complete system of selecting officials was established, called the Examination System.

Speaking of the system of recommendation, there has been a tradition since Emperor Gaozu, but the scriptures and Jing’s rule have not been improved and a real process has not been formed.

However, this is also a good opportunity. Liu Che can take advantage of the fact that the inspection system has not yet been solidified to make it more reasonable, minimize the disadvantages, benefit future generations, and strengthen the country.

Prime Minister Wei Wan has been working overtime recently by Liu Che to meet him in Xuanshi Hall to exchange questions about the official system.

Every time he is named by Liu Che,

They will have a special feeling,

It seems that when he was the prince's tutor, he was the same. He often asked Liu Che to give extra lectures or assign difficult questions, but now it is the opposite.

Without the outer cloak of Master, Wei Wan, as a minister, seemed to be able to be obediently be called, just like Liu Che at the time...

"God-Emperor Gao-Emperor issued an edict to seek talents, requiring counties and states to recommend wise and officials with talented ability to govern the country, and set a precedent for the system of recommendation. Emperor Hui and Empress Lü ordered the filial piety and brothers to strengthen the field, and then the examination began to have subjects.

Strictly speaking, the system of recommendation started with Emperor Wen. He issued an edict to recruit virtuous people who can speak out in a straightforward manner, and set up countermeasures (exams) and equal grades." Wei Wan took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.

Pushing the inkstone aside and pointing at the four big words "virtuous, square and straight" on the paper, Liu Che asked: "I have been involved in the official system of our dynasty recently. I have seen the most of these four words, but I don't know much. If I don't understand it very well, the Prime Minister may have completely explained what it means?"

Looking at Liu Che thoughtfully, Wei Wan nodded slowly, "The wise monarchs in ancient times often hoped that there would be some fair and selfless ministers who dared to speak out in a blunt manner.

This is just as His Majesty wished at this time, and he wanted them to point out their shortcomings in order to better govern the country.

This is why we set up a virtuous and good foundation for the system. Virtuous and good foundation for the most important special subject, which was first placed in the second year of Emperor Wen. The purpose was to accept the opinions of the world, that is, to widely listen to opinions on national affairs and then know our own shortcomings.

At that time, the emperors generally believed that disasters and disagreements in heaven and earth were caused by their own mistakes, that is, the ruler (the emperor) was unvirtuous and the administration was uneven. Therefore, this subject was often held after disasters and disagreements occurred.

And virtuous, good and honest are often associated with being straightforward and extremely admonished. This is a way for the emperor to ask for words, so it is also called virtuous, good and honest and honest, who can speak out loud and admonished."

"This is a broad scope after all. It is too one-sided to choose officials and abolition like this?" Liu Che asked question.

"Right and injustice are in the hearts of the people. Your Majesty, you are too rigorous. This will lead to a stalemate. When the water is clear, there will be no fish!" Wei Wan frowned and smiled bitterly.

Since Liu Che was appointed as the crown prince, he has a little understanding of the official system. This is also a must-read subject for the crown prince. At this time, he also reacted and seemed to be a little stubborn.

Nodding, Liu Che said again: "Well, I actually want to focus on those years of colleges."

"Your Majesty may as well talk."

"Encourage filial and honest and virtuous! These two subjects involve people from all over the world and give officials a good room for improvement. Starting from the chaotic selection methods of ministers, or the complicated and complicated official system that continued during the reign of the late emperor to today's current affairs, this is the best choice!" Liu Che said bluntly.

"Hey, I have had these two subjects, but because of the admiration of Taoism, this Confucian meridian is not highly valued. It has not been a major subject for a long time. I think filial piety is the first priority, integrity is the duty of officials, and virtuousness is the focus on ability! "

I thought Your Majesty was just interested, but now it seems that this is not the case. Wei Wan even doubted whether Liu Che had already thought about everything and just waited to have a formal exchange with him.

Wei Wan's reaction was not great, but Liu Che, who had extraordinary eyesight, could not tell it? He just smiled. Almost as Wei Wan put down the teacup, he picked up the document in front of him and handed it to Wei Wan.

"This is my edict written by me to select filial and honest people and virtuous people. The targets are high-ranking officials from the central and local governments, princes, three dukes, generals, two thousand stones, prefectures, county magistrates, county magistrates, etc., and because the court also needs a wide range of talents solicited by the court, including Confucian scholars, Taoists, and ordinary people.

I personally presided over the countermeasures for those who were selected in these two subjects. According to the first place, the higher ones will be even more capable of the nine ministers!" Liu Che said with a smile when he saw Wei Wan was already looking at it.

After looking at it for a while, after roughly understanding the general idea, Wei Wan chuckled and said, "Only selfless can one be fearless, only one dares to offend one's superiors, and even puts his own life aside. Therefore, there was a saying that Wen (referring to civil officials) had committed suicide by celebrating the emperor in the pre-Qin period, which was the highest level of loyalty to civil officials (especially censors) for the emperor.

Your Majesty has implemented such a system of prosecuting officials, and even the people have the opportunity to become officials, which will greatly benefit the country and the people! After seeing it, I have no objection!"

"No, you should have objections!"

"Oh, why is this?"

"This system of recommendation still lacks an important part!"

Wei Wan's face began to become serious, and she didn't rush to answer. After lowering her head and pondering for a moment, she guessed: "But I am afraid that the officials will get along with each other and realize that it is untrue?"

"You answered the question unanswered!" Liu Che teased.

After coughing, Wei Wan laughed in silence and said, "Your Majesty, let's open the city and announce it!"

"There is no supervision to check and balance the recommendations! I will choose central officials myself, but I am a little out of reach in the local area. I must have a criminal law that restrains officials from focusing on selecting young and strong families for private purposes!" Liu Che said with a pursed lips.

Wei Wan suddenly realized, "That should be a plan to deal with it according to Your Majesty's character?"

"Hahaha, the Prime Minister has found out my path?"

"Ahem..."

"Since it is a system established for the people of the world, it is naturally necessary to fight for it themselves. Anyone who has a random election will only need to go to a higher level, or even sue the capital. If there is a fact, everyone will be happy. If there is a fact, the officials involved and the impersonator will be punished. If there is a false investigation, the slander will be imprisoned for five years and cut off one finger!" Liu Che said in a deep voice.

This is equivalent to giving everyone a road to appeal and cutting off the possibility of false accusations. Liu Che is still very satisfied with this law.
