The system has been in Bingzhou for two years, and an unknown number of officials have been elected. But it was the first time to hold a special banquet. This is not the kind of amusement with some evaluation flavor. Just that the Duke himself presides over this article is of extraordinary significance.
Why is there a banquet at this time? The first thing that everyone thought of was the twenty selected children of the noble family. Whether it is a Shuzong or a small branch, there is a world of difference between the aristocratic family and the concubine. Could this be a signal from the Governor's Office? Can the system become a promotion path other than the ninth grade
There are different opinions, but the most excited are those scholars who made the list. Today, the one who occupies the prefecture's office is the governor of the three states, the official worship of the general, and the Duke of Shangdang of the Sima! If you can get the green eyes of the Duke of Liang, will you still worry about the poor career path
Everyone has tried their best, hoping to be a blockbuster. Therefore, on the day of the banquet, there is no shortage of fancy clothes, white decorations, and flower hairpins. In the warm and warm sun of winter, all the scholars dressed in new clothes, following the footsteps of the priests and officials, respectfully entered the courtyard of the Prefect's Mansion.
The courtyard of the world pays attention to the scenery of the four seasons. However, in the bleak winter, it can best reveal the elegance and taste. In this other courtyard, there is no sign of decadence, the flowers and trees are hidden, the pavilions are scattered, and the grandeur of the state government in California is even more heartbreaking.
However, whoever comes here is not for the view. When the Duke Liang, who wore a black suit at five o'clock, a fake gold medal and a purple sash, and a three Liang Jinxian crown, slowly entered the seat. Everyone was waiting, and they all knelt down.
Liang Feng returned the salute and asked everyone to get up and take their seats. Afterwards, musical instruments on both sides played the sheng.
With the sound of music, many people feel a joy in their hearts. This is clearly the chapter "Lu Ming" in "Xiao Ya". "Luming" was originally a tune for the king's banquets and ministers, and it was also quoted in Wei Wu's "Dan Ge Xing". Doesn't it represent the thirst for talents in the county
Really, let's sing, let's sing.
"Yo yo Lu Ming, the apple of the wild. I have guests, and I will play the sheng. I will play the sheng and drum springs, and I will be the general. People who are good to me, show me how to travel."
After the ceremony officer's singing was over, Liang Feng smiled and raised the cup in his hand. This is the host offering guests, and the monarch offering ministers. In addition to solemnity, there is also no lack of joy, which makes people feel refreshed. Those aristocratic family disciples are okay, sectarians, who have seen this before? Everyone's eyes filled with tears, and when they looked at the elegant prince in the upper seat, they felt that they were drunk without alcohol, and they hurriedly responded accordingly.
The song starts again, the Lord offers again. If it was three rounds, the originally tense atmosphere was completely relaxed. After the ceremony of Yan Yan, Liang Feng smiled and said: "It is a blessing to be alone to select scholars from the current discipline, and to gain more virtue and talent. If they are all promoted to fight officials, wouldn't it be a big thing and a small use? Entering the manor is a blessing."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uncontrollable commotion below. A total of 64 people were selected from the three subjects. Among them, ten were from the department of arithmetic, four were from the department of medicine, and the remaining fifty were from the department of economics. The arithmetic department and the medical department will inevitably become officials, and the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are the candidates for future officials.
And to choose the top three from the Ming Jing, is to give a real official position. Moreover, it is an important position beside the Duke! In the eyes of the world, official distinctions are clear and turbid, but what is clear and what is turbid? To put it bluntly, only a position close to the emperor's side is worthy of attention. If it is a Qingliu official with a high reputation and few things, it will be even more popular.
But now, the imperial examination in Bingzhou is to elect officials for the Duke of Liangjun. Where are the best jobs? Of course, it is by the side of Liang Gong! Entering the government is a trick, it can be said that it is a step to the sky. Not to mention the poor family, it is also a good thing for those nobles who are determined to participate in the system!
The nobility were overjoyed, and the poor family were even more mad. Among the top three of the Ming Jing this time, there is a cold man! Doesn't this mean that Han scholars can also pass the system and become officials directly
With his face flushed red, the children of the poor family came out with the two disciples of the high family, and thanked the Duke for his promotion.
Liang Feng's words were not finished yet: "In addition to the top three, the top ten candidates can also go to the assigned prefectures and prefectures to receive a title. All the monarchs are good talents selected by the system, and they should be loyal to the court and not miss their lifelong pursuits. study."
This time, more people are listed. Decentralizing the state and county will never only give the position of a minor official. This is the top ten in a subject, all of them can be officials!
The high school children who will come to participate in the system do not care about the clear and turbid currents. Even if the 9th grade is rated, they may not necessarily be promoted to the top grade. Better yet, be a magistrate in the state. And with just one word, Duke Liang gave them the best place they could reach. This is probably something that the current court cannot do. Not to mention Bingzhou, even if you go to Sizhou and Jizhou, it is far better than defending Jianye, or being an official in a troubled world, and you will be displaced!
Looking at the faces of everyone with different expressions and surprises. Liang Feng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After the banquet is over, is the system still a simple method of selecting officials? I'm afraid no one thinks so. But so many nobles followed and gave them official positions instead of relegation to officials, and no one could fault it. Once this opening is opened, it is not so easy to stop it.
The right time and place, and the confluence of various factors can allow him to achieve his goal one step ahead.
And this small change, even the imperial court in Yangzhou, could not stop it. As long as he has the final say in the three northern states, this system will continue for a long time. Until a larger site, more talents, are all in the bag!
Perhaps, we can consider opening martial arts.
Sitting in a high position, Liang Feng, with his unchanging smile, watched the ministers drinking and composing poems, showing off his talents, hoping to win his favor. This group of people, isn't it the horse bones that are exchanged for thousands of dollars
That night, a few words at the Luming Banquet spread all over Jinyang. The family shakes.
Everyone knows that the system is a matter of rights and interests. But no one expected that Liang Gong would be able to use such methods to make the system go a step further and compete with the nine-rank system chamber. Such a delinquent test, should I take it or not? If you participate, what will be the face of the gentry? If not participating? Is it possible to let the poor family take away the officials that should belong to them
And the twenty aristocratic family members who entered the palace became the overwhelming weight to overwhelm the balance. Eight of the top ten seats in the Ming Dynasty were taken up by aristocratic families! Even with such a crude examination method, the accumulation of gentry is far better than that of the poor. The state has never abolished the recommendation system and the nine-rank system. The Chongwen Three Courts are still dominated by the gentry. In this case, why not occupy another seat in the turbid position of the system
People's hearts are changed because of the word "interest". And this small banquet also attracted the attention of many people.
But even so, there are still people who are like idle clouds and wild cranes, ignoring commonplace affairs.
In the Xishan Grottoes, the craftsmen are still digging the rock walls sleeplessly. The tinkling sound echoed in the empty valley.
Standing in front of the Buddha statue that is more than two feet high and has stretched eyebrows. The health association leaned on the railing and looked out, the figure was like a rock, and the pattern was not moving. He has been watching Xishan for half a month, but every day, he feels that new ideas flash.
There are also Buddhist temples and statues in Jiangdong. But how could a grotto of this size ever exist? One cave, one Buddha, one cave and one scene, like the mustard seeds of Sumeru, constitute a magnificent Buddhist country. Every Buddha has a different appearance; every painting tells the truth of Buddhism.
This is not a mere monastery, and a thin mural can show it. If this huge grotto is completed, how many people will pay homage to it
Compared with the scale, the health association cares more about the carving techniques of the Buddha statues. Most of these craftsmen came from countries in the Western Regions, so the patterns and manners of the stone sculptures were different from those in the Middle Earth. However, there is one thing that makes the Guards extremely puzzled. It is obvious that the large Buddha statues are all Hu Xiang, why is the pharmacist Liuliguang Tathagata in this main hall such a soft and handsome face
"Is it possible that this Buddha statue is really carved according to Liang Gong's appearance?" The Health Association couldn't help muttering to himself.
This time, there was no reconciliation behind him. On the contrary, Xun Yuan stepped forward quickly: "Master Wei, Duke Liang is here!"
What? The Welfare Association was surprised. He had been in Jinyang for some days, but Duke Liang was always busy with his department and never saw him. The Health Association was not in a hurry, and wanted to see all the grottoes in Xishan wholeheartedly. I didn't think that the other party had not summoned, but came to the door in person. Rao is that the health association doesn't care much about the world, and he is also nervous.
He hurriedly patted the dust on his body, and the Wei Xie said, "Why is Mr. Liang here? Did you bring a squire?"
"No. Judging from the situation, it seems that he came to Xishan to worship Buddha." Xun Zhi whispered.
Hearing this, the Health Association was somewhat relieved and followed the disciples out. Because the grottoes have not been completed, and the supporting temples and Buddhist altars have not been completed, the outside is unobstructed, and the situation on the opposite side can be seen at a glance.
I saw a team of people standing under the steps. There are not many people, far less than the number of people who should travel with the county official. However, they were accompanied by the umbrella fans, and the number of people was quite large. However, with so many figures, the Guardian Association's eyes were still firmly fixed by the two figures standing in the middle.
What he saw was two people.
One is handsome, the other is heroic.
The Welfare Association has seen beautiful women. What he is best at is painting portraits. Sanwu did not know how many aristocratic families and wanted to ask him to paint. Not to mention Wei Jie of the Wei family, who is famous all over the world and is known as the Jade Man. However, the people I saw today were different from Wei Jie. It's not that the looks are really superior, but the temperament is very different.
Wei Jie's most famous comment is "Father-in-law Bingqing, son-in-law Yurun", which is also called together with Le Guang. The word "Yu Run" is just right. The beauty of Wei Jie is like a chili orchid and a jade tree, which can be learned by light. It makes people fall for it, but it also attracts people to care for it, and can't bear to break it.
The beauty of the person in front of him is completely different! Although he had a smile on his face, there was an unbelievable look in his eyes. If the wind and thunder move in the nine heavens above, there will be no anger and arrogance. And that Gao Jue did not turn into coldness, just because of the smile on the corner of his lips, like a Buddha holding a flower, soft and beautiful.
This just and soft, strange fusion together, become a kind of unforgettable temperament. Even better, the barbarian standing beside him.
Although the nose is high and the eyes are deep, Najiehu is not ugly in the eyes of the Wei Association. His body was as straight as a sword, his eyes were as sharp as electricity, and every inch of the man's body showed unconvincing rigidity and coldness. However, when he looked at the person beside him, all the murderous energy vanished. Only humility and admiration.
Every movement and stillness is like a scene in a painting. Rao is a well-informed health association, and he couldn't help being stunned on the spot.
The Health Association stood still, Xun Ke was a little anxious. After all, Duke Liangjun is also the lord of the three states, one of the princes. Master Wei is so rude, what if he is rejected by others
Bowing hastily, Xun said: "Boy Xun, see Duke Liang. Master Wei, this is Duke Liang..."
He wanted to wake up Master calmly, but the Health Association only opened his mouth and spit out, "I've thought of what to paint!"
This was so disrespectful that Xun Xun couldn't help but sweat. On the opposite side, Liang Feng saw the appearance of the Wei Association, but smiled: "What is Wei Jun going to paint?"
"The Pharmacist Tathagata Fab Four, attracting the Nether Yaksha to crouch at his feet. Twelve generals, surrounded by the side, the flame net is solemn, and all sentient beings are bright." The Guards murmured.
Medicine Buddha is Liang Feng's present name. If someone else said it, he would probably think that the other party was deliberately flattering. But in the face of the painting sage who had lost his temper and had a chaotic look, he only smiled slightly: "It sounds like a handed down work."
He did not say how grand the painting should be or how many followers it would attract. Just an understatement, a "handed down". The health association's hands trembled: "This painting, I'm afraid it will be painted for a while..."
"Wai'en Temple can wait, so is lonely." Liang Feng didn't care.
"Thank you, Duke!" The Health Association was really impressed, and could not wait to draw what he thought on paper now. He has seen too many dignitaries, no matter how much he likes his paintings, he just regards him as a craftsman, just like he is not happy with his teacher Cao. If it weren't for the status of Wei's side branch, he would probably have to live in the deep palace now and be used by the emperor.
But the Duke of Liang Jun in front of him was completely different. He could hear the approval in the other's mouth, and he could also feel the genuine respect. He respects his talents and his will. No arrogance, no arrogance at all. This is not a courtesy that I can get in Jiangdong!
Liang Feng didn't feel how different what he was doing. This is the WA! Even Gu Kaizhi had to imitate and learn from a famous artist, and he was also the first person to appear in the legend who "did not dare to touch the eye". "The ancient paintings are all abbreviated, and the essence is the beginning of the association. Among the six methods, the best is to be good." How can someone who can get such an evaluation can be compared by others
Inviting the Health Association to Jinyang is precisely to add more splendor to this ancient capital. Just like the huge Buddhist cave in front of you.
To build grottoes is to pry out manpower from the hands of aristocratic families, to gather people's beliefs, and to add their own prestige. But after thousands of years, all thoughts will turn into dust, and only this grotto can become an eternal cultural heritage that will last for generations.
This inheritance is equally precious. Liang Feng didn't mind, and left more masterpieces of painting saints. This is much more wonderful than receiving it in the hands of aristocratic families and emperors.
Therefore, he just said: "I don't know if Lord Wei can get anything in the Buddhist cave? This Buddhist cave has not yet been completed, and it needs to be carefully polished. If you can get the help of Lord Wei, it will definitely be of great benefit."
The Health Association was stunned: "I don't know what Mr. Liang's opinion is?"
Liang Feng smiled: "Jun Wei, please come with me."
The two of them didn't pay much attention to their status, so they walked towards the main hall one after the other. Behind him, Xun Xun looked at the backs of the two with a stunned expression. A thought came to mind.
This Duke Liang is really a master worthy of assistance! Shouldn't he also write a letter home to persuade his father and brother
The author has something to say: Luming Banquet became a banquet in the imperial examination system after the Tang Dynasty
