The World of Yellow Sky

The Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law is actually extremely beneficial to the aristocratic family, whether it is profitable for conservatives or reformists.

And the ones who have benefited the most are the reformists.

Sun Jing could understand that under the original probation system, basically only local people could be recommended, but those clans who fled from Sili and other places had little way to participate.

And the ninth-rank official rule is for all powerful families, and there is a way to go up.

Most of the reformists are officials who fled from Sili and other places. They all left their homes and just took root in Yuzhou.

Sun Jing looked around, and sure enough, the faces of the reformists who were hesitant at first became much firmer, and there was an inexplicable look in their eyes.

And a group of local aristocratic family officials did not voice any objection, and they also had their own ideas.

Those who were able to stand in the hall during the court meeting were basically not from poor families. They were keenly aware of an opportunity, an opportunity that could make the clan prosperous.

Since the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law is based on family background and career status to determine the rank, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

Sun Jing looked at the calm Wang Yun, he finally understood why Wang Yun was willing to preside over the reform.

The implementation of the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law will make the rest of the family who fled in the six places, including Sili, feel grateful to him, and can greatly improve his reputation.

The content of this reform was proposed by the Chen family of Yingchuan. Chen Ji must have known about it, and the Chen family of Yingchuan should have shared the huge benefits.

Sun Jing once again looked at a middle-aged scribe with outstanding temperament not far from Chen Ji, and sure enough, he saw that there was not much surprise on his face, and he also had a measure in his heart.

That middle-aged scribe was Xun Yue. When the emperor arrived in Chendu and re-emerged as emperor, Xun Yue served as the servant of the Huangmen in the court, and then moved to the secretary supervisor and servant.Attending lectures around the emperor, talking about it day and night, is deeply trusted by the emperor.

From this point of view, the Xun family of Yingchuan probably also knew the contents of the Ninth Rank Official Human Law.

This time, the tax increase and the clearing of the land, I am afraid that it will really be implemented in the end.

"The Ninth Grade Official Law..."

Sun Jing carefully recalled what Chen Qun said about selecting talents. He felt that this method of selecting talents cannot be said to be bad, but there will be a big disadvantage...

Maybe in the near future, if Han Ting still has a future.

Sooner or later, there will be a situation where the top rank has no poor family, and the low rank has no family. After all, the Zhongzheng official is also a human being, but his power is not limited, and the criteria for selecting talents are somewhat vague...

Sun Jing's thoughts were hidden in his heart, but he knew that the reason why the Chen family and the Xun family in Yingchuan supported this decree was that some of their clans might have seen the influence of the Nine Rank Official Law.

Sun Jing raised her head and glanced at the Son of Heaven sitting high on the throne. He didn't know whether the Son of Heaven knew how the official selection system might evolve...

The embroidered messenger promised by the emperor must report the case to the Tingwei and issue an arrest warrant before arresting people, which eased the attitude of the conservatives a little.

After the introduction of the Ninth Grade Official Personnel Law, the direction of the court has also changed. The attitude of the reformers has become much tougher, while the attitude of the conservatives has softened a lot.

The court meeting came to an end in such an atmosphere.

Although Sun Jing has been away from the central government for a long time, he can be regarded as ups and downs.

Although this time there are still many details to be finalized regarding the tax increase and land clearing, as well as the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law.

But these are just a matter of time, and they will be resolved soon.

This time, the reform process is getting closer again. Tax increases and land clearing can bring huge tax revenues to the country.

After the tax increase, the country also has more money for subsequent wars.

The country's prospects look several times better than before, and even the national strength can be restored before the failure of the Northern Expedition.

only……

The difficulty of destroying the country is imminent, but the people in the court put the clan before the country in their hearts.

If you want to implement the reform, you need to continue the game.

To what extent can this reformation be changed?

Will this reform change the current situation?

How effective can this reform be?

Sun Jing walked slowly on the road of Miyagi, towards the outside of Miyagi.

It was not dawn in the east when I came here, but now the sun is so dazzling that it is difficult to open my eyes.

But Sun Jing couldn't feel any warmth, only felt the north wind gnawed at her bones, and her whole body was icy cold...

Chapter 828 It's a Prophecy

In the second year of Zhangwu (197), the first ten days of February.

The initial reform of the Han court was implemented in February of the first year of Zhang Wu, and it has been a full year now.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place inside the Hanting.

In the Chendu Imperial Palace, many places are still covered with a thick layer of snow, but the imperial road is extremely clean. Obviously, someone is always paying attention to the cleanliness of the imperial road.

Liu Xie walked slowly on the royal road of the palace alone, no one followed him.

Surrounded by Habayashi guards wearing armor and holding sharp knives, most of these Habayashi guards were originally staffed by embroidered clothes envoys. After the embroidered clothes envoys became independent, these people were still in charge of their original duties—— —Guard the palace ban.

During this period, Habayashi Guard recruited thousands of people, all of whom were orphans of the Northern Expedition without exception.

In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Yulin Qi, and took the descendants of those who died in the army to raise them in Yulin.

In addition to Habayashi Guard, the orphans in the army and the descendants of the generals were also taken into one army, named Huben Army, and Colonel Huben was established as the military chief.

The two armies of Yulin and Huben are not controlled by anyone, but only obey the emperor.

It's just that with the passage of time, the soldiers in the Habayashi and Huben armies are basically the children of noble families, but there are very few real good families.

It was the time of the Boshin Rebellion in the fifth year of Zhongping.

Qian Shuo insisted on enshrining Liu Xie as the emperor, but He Jin and others wanted to support Liu Bian as the emperor.

Then Qian Shuo took the lead in launching the attack, commanding the guards to besiege and kill He Jin.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others protected He Jin all the way out of the hall, and the two sides fought fiercely in the palace.

The influence of the Boshin Rebellion was even greater than that of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It was that palace change that changed all the situations.

As a last resort, Qian Shuo could only let Dong Zhuo enter the capital, defeating the Xiyuan Forbidden Army led by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and completely disintegrated the power of the aristocratic family in Beijing.

And in this palace change, the two guards, Habayashi and Huben, were supposed to protect the court, but instead fell to the side of the aristocratic family.

Had it not been for the two guards of Yulin and Huben to lose control, Qian Shuo would not have let Dong Zhuo into Beijing at all, and the world would not have lost control.

But everything is nothing if, Habayashi and Huben guards used to be the emperor's pro-army, but after being infiltrated by the aristocratic family, they became the aristocratic army.

If Emperor Ling hadn't trained a team of guards and embroidered clothes envoys in the final period, Qian Shuo would not even be able to compete with He Jin.

After the Boshin Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's rebellion.

Liu Xie will always remember what happened in those two days.

Dong Zhuo proposed the abolition of the establishment at the court meeting, and took Huo Guang as an example.

Li Ru announced his policy to His Majesty, and in the Chongde Hall, all the generals of the Xiliang Army stood with their swords on their hands, staring at each other.

All the ministers in the hall were silent, and all the princes in the hall were silent in response, only Shang Shu Ding Guan stood up, put on his finger crown, and angrily reprimanded Dong Zhuo.

"Dong Zhuo, the traitor minister, dare to plot to deceive the sky, I will splash blood on my neck!"

Then Ding Guan was escorted out of the Chongde Hall by a group of Xiliang Army warriors, and executed outside the Chongde Hall.

The warriors of the Xiliang Army walked into the hall with a cloth bag containing Ding Guan's head.

The ministers were silent, and no one dared to speak.

Grand Tutor Yuan Kui helped him down from the throne, lifted the jade seal and handed it over to his elder brother Liu Bian.

At that time, Liu Xie didn't have any resentment in his heart, he just felt a kind of powerlessness.

Since then, he has understood one thing.

Only by mastering weapons can we protect ourselves.

If there were soldiers in the palace who obeyed his orders, then Dong Zhuo would never dare to be so presumptuous.

Later, Wang Yue fled Luoyang with an embroidered emissary, and Lu Zhi led his servants to try their best to take him over the mountains.

He realized the importance of weapons more and more.

The reason why he chose to go to Yuzhou instead of Yuan Shao was precisely because of what he had experienced.

Facts have proved that his choice is correct.

Yuan Shao was ambitious and wanted to usurp him, otherwise he would not have stood by and watched Dong Zhuo flee.

After coming to Chendu, the first thing he did when he gained power was to let Wang Yue strengthen the power of the embroidered messenger, and then he recruited the palace guards again.

Up to now, the number of forbidden troops under his command has reached 3. Except for the 3 newly recruited soldiers after the defeat of the Northern Expedition, the rest of the [-] soldiers are soldiers who have received Ming-style training. soldier.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army, Liu Xie also sent the Forbidden Army to follow Sun Jian to fight in the north and south many times. Most of the soldiers have actually seen blood and been on the battlefield.

Now the two armies of Habayashi and Huben have a total of 6000 people, and the remaining 4000 people are inherited from the old system and formed into the two armies of the South and the North, but they are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Weiwei and Lieutenants, but the North and South Zhonglang will be under the jurisdiction.

The Southern Army was under the management of Fu De, while the Northern Army was managed by Lu Zhi's son Lu Yu.

The foreign army is under the jurisdiction of Liu Chong, and the rear of the Yangzhou and Jingzhou states are Liu Biao and Liu Yao, both of whom are from the clan.

Yuan Shu, Mu of Yanzhou, and Cao Cao, Mu of Qingzhou, were also the ones who were willing to lead troops to rescue them when they were watching from the sidelines against Dong Lianjun.

The wind and frost are different from the nature of plants and trees, and the festival of chastity and goodness is seen in the chaos.

Liu Xie doesn't know what everyone is thinking, and the evidence collected by the embroidered clothes messenger will not be the complete truth.

Maybe someone is pretending, maybe someone has hidden ambitions, but this is already the best choice so far.

Besides, no matter how bad the situation was, it was not as bad as it was when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.

Although the reform has been hindered to some extent, it can still be implemented smoothly.

The reform has only been carried out most of the way now, and there are still some things that need to be reformed.

There are many contents of the reform, many of which are based on the laws and regulations implemented in the Ming court.

For example, there is a law in the Ming court called the law of recruitment.

The Service Recruitment Law abolished the original need for civilian households to undertake corvee labor such as hard labor, miscellaneous labor, and military service.

Under its rule, the method of employing people for service is adopted, and the expenses required by employees are apportioned by households.

The tyrants, landlords, and aristocratic families who did not have to bear the burden of labor had to pay labor money, which was called "servant money", and even borne heavier taxes.

This decree has also been borrowed, with only minor modifications.

Under the rule of the Han court, the common people still had to undertake forced labor, miscellaneous labor, military service and other corvee service, but the powerful families who originally enjoyed the privilege of exempting from service also needed to pay service money, which not only increased income but also reduced expenditure.

military power...

Liu Xie stopped and stood outside Ning'an Hall.

He didn't know if he was doing the right thing. He strengthened the prefect's authority and gave Yanzhou and Qingzhou almost unlimited power.

If Ming Ting can really be defeated, perhaps the two prefectures of Yanqing and Qing Dynasty will not be able to lose their lives...

Liu Xie shook his head, forcing himself not to think about what happened in the future.

The plan for today is how to resist the Ming army.

Liu Xie laughed at himself, feeling helpless in his heart.

The Ming army was at its peak, and whether the armies of Yanzhou and Qingzhou could stop the Ming army from going south is not known.

"The sky and the earth are turning upside down, and the fire is burning; the building is about to fall, and it's hard to support a tree..."

Liu Xie remembered the prophecy that flowed from Taipingdao.

He was afraid that this prophecy would become true.

He didn't take chances like those ministers in the court, thinking that he could rule by rowing a river.

Although he had never met Xu An, he could say that he knew Xu An very well.

Ever since he was still in Luoyang, he kept hearing Xu An's name and the deeds of Taipingdao.

Xu An has risen from the Taihang Mountains all the way, from occupying a county to a state, to crossing states and connecting counties, dominating the northern border, and now aspiring to win the Central Plains.

Liu Xie clearly remembered all the decrees Xu An implemented under his rule and the speeches he made in public.

Sometimes Liu Xie also wondered whether the destiny had really abandoned the big man.

There are obviously no decent civil servants and advisers under Xu An's command, but why can they always implement correct laws and win the support of the people.
