Text 1001. Silla Imperial Examination

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After hearing that Silla lacked a large number of middle and low-level officials, Jingwen immediately had an idea, because this kind of problem was too simple.  "Simple, you can implement the imperial examination in Silla! That is to select talents through examinations, and then you can also select a group from the ordinary office workers at the bottom. In this way, it can be considered a good choice." Jing Wen  said.  "Choose from among the lower-level service staff? You can choose a group, but do we in Silla also implement imperial examinations?" Kinderman asked.  And Jing Wen said with certainty: "Of course the imperial examination must be implemented, because if the imperial examination is not implemented, there will still be a group of princes and nobles who have been famous and prestigious in the future, which will be very detrimental to your rule." Jing Wen certainly knows why in history.  The imperial examination system eliminated the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, and this was not because they were able to select a large number of talents from poor families without foundation, and then the emperor trusted them!  And it was also because of the imperial examination system that many poor families surpassed the gentry and finally became the mainstream of officialdom.  In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic families also officially disintegrated. After all, the officials from poor families produced by the imperial examination system had completely driven those aristocratic families out of the officialdom, and they were not afraid of any mischief they might do.  And now Jing Wen is advocating that Kinderman implement the imperial examination, because if those princes and nobles are still appointed, although they will compromise for a while, they will definitely oppose Kinderman's rule before long.  Because they absolutely cannot agree that a woman's descendants can inherit the throne.  The situation is different for those talented people from humble backgrounds. They want to stand out, but usually have no way because of the so-called bone system. But now that they have this opportunity, they will definitely seize it.  And their rights are given to them by Kinderman, the queen. Not only will they not support Kinderman, they will also support Kinderman's heirs.  And now that Kinderman has taken the path of a queen with real power, it is impossible to look back.  So it's not just Kinderman.  Even her and Jing Wen's descendants must rely on those talents from poor families.  After all, talents from poor families have no foundation, and they can only rely on the monarch to serve as officials.  That¡¯s why they don¡¯t care whether the monarch is legitimate or not, whether he is a man or a woman!  And this imperial examination is actually an important tool to win over the hearts of ordinary students from poor families.  In history, when a new government is established, it first needs to open courses to obtain scholars, which attracts many people who want to be officials to enter the officialdom.  Even the later rebels, such as bandits, wanted to attract some people's hearts by opening up schools to gain scholars.  Therefore, the imperial examination is a good way to attract talents from poor families, and now that Kinderman cannot get the support of the princes and nobles, he will choose talents from poor families.  Only in this way can one's rule be stable.  If there is a shortage of officials for a long time, then it will naturally be impossible to maintain the government's operations.  As for the future, Datang may not necessarily be able to send officials to manage Silla.  Due to the current traffic conditions, officials of the Tang Dynasty could not directly govern so many places, so in the history of the Tang Dynasty, many territories were actually just Jisi Prefecture.  Even now, Silla is still a restricted place, only belonging to the Tang Dynasty in name only.  But Jingwen had already planned that Silla would become Chinese territory in the future, and at most it would exist as a special administrative region.  And this approach is not surprising.  In fact, didn't the Han Dynasty rely on enfeoffing heroes to become a country?  This kind of internal segregation is not a division of the country.  Although there is a possibility of the country being divided, as long as it is under control, that will generally not happen.  "Deman, Silla will manage itself in the future. And to use an old saying, you are not in the right position. If you are not in the right position, you will naturally not be able to get the support of many princes and ministers, so you must establish your own talent selection.  system, otherwise you will not be able to maintain it without a steady stream of talents. Moreover, the imperial examination system is also conducive to the concentration of power of the king, and this is one of the ways to maintain our rule in the future.  To inherit the throne, I don¡¯t want our children to lose their rights!¡± Jing Wen said.  "Yeah!" Kinderman stroked his belly and answered.  Kinderman is now a mother who will do anything for her children.  After all, for the future rights and status of her children, she naturally has to find a way to make the situation better.  This is also a common characteristic of parents all over the world. In order for their offspring to enjoy peace, they naturally hope that they can do more.  Kinderman naturally wants to do more for his children, so as to safeguard the power status of his children in the future, so that his children's throne can be passed down from generation to generation.  "Well, I will start preparing for the imperial examination next, and then we will ask for the canonization of the Tang Dynasty!" Kinderman said.  According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty for internal vassal states, the king of the internal vassal state must be canonized by the Tang Dynasty himself. If he is not canonized, it will be an illegal government.  And the new?It will soon become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, which will make Kinderman's throne reasonable and legal.  Of course, this is just a means for Kinderman to successfully ascend to the throne. If Silla still decides on the king according to the past practice, it is impossible for Kinderman to let his children inherit.  Therefore, Kinderman could only rely on the support of Datang. Without the support of Datang, it would be impossible for her and Jingwen's children to inherit.  The descendants of Jingwen and Kinderman can only rely on the Tang Dynasty because their positions are not orthodox enough.  For the ancients, the offspring of a woman were unorthodox heirs, so without the full support of the Tang Dynasty, Jingwen's children would indeed not conform to the concepts of the ancients.  When the time comes, there will always be people using this to make a fuss, and this is inevitable.  Therefore, if Datang does not support it, then I am afraid that this king will not be able to continue at all.  This is the reason why Jingwen can believe that Silla will not split again in the future, because this has already started from Jingwen. After all, the improper position is not so easy to solve.  "Lord Jingwen, the emperor has an imperial edict. It seems that he is going to canonize the lady as the queen!" said a chamberlain.  "Well, let's go out then!" Jing Wen said.  It seems that Li Shimin still takes good care of Jingwen, and he actually sent the official canonization decree so quickly, and his wife is going to become the queen.  Jing Wen didn't know why he was so interested in the queen, and Jing Wen also suspected that the queen controlled him.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
