Chapter 19 3. "Scholar" is unstoppable

As mentioned earlier, the selection of officials in the Han Dynasty relied on the inspection system, and later it developed into a family with a long history of public officials. This is not good.So in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it became the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. The imperial court set up a Da Zhongzheng, who should be both neutral and upright (so Chiang Kai-shek was named Jiang Zhongzheng).Then the counties set up Zhongzheng, which is responsible for evaluating the level of talents, and divides talents into upper, upper middle, upper and lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower middle, so nine ranks, so it is called Jiupin Zhongzheng system.You can only be an official if you are rated as a top grade.If you want to be rated as inferior, you will not be able to be an official.

However, those who can be rated as top grade are those who have a relatively high family status. They have been rated as top grade for generations.The biggest family surnames are Wang and Xie, who "the former Yan of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people".For example, Wang Xizhi is a general of the Youjun, also known as Wang Youjun, but he has been using a pen all his life, and he has never heard of him being able to use a sword so superbly.He was born a general because he was Wang.These people have monopolized official positions for generations, and if their families are always officials, they form a noble family, while those who are always unable to become officials become a commoner family.Not commoners, not peasants, but old landlords who have never been officials.

Gentlemen were born officials. If you were born an official, would you still study hard?You already have a salary of 15,000 yuan a month, why are you still studying here?The 15,000 yuan can't be spent by knurling. When I was young, I sat on a Mercedes-Benz 250 to go to school. When I grow up, I will be a stupid 250.So these gentry can't do anything, they can't write a pen, they can't hold a gun, they have to write a poem at a banquet, and they even have degraded IQ. Because the gentry and the common people do not marry, they don't even wear the same clothes, and they can't sit at the same table, so the old relatives of the gentry get married.Wang, Xie, Yuan, Xiao, Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang, these eight surnames are intermarried, and they are born with the relationship of cousin and cousin, uncle and niece, aunt and nephew.The more they are born, the more they degenerate. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren will look the same, and they will definitely be brain-dead.However, the founding monarchs of the Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties were all military generals, and military generals must have been from the common clan, and they despised the noble clan who were born high-ranking officials.So the common people became emperors, and they couldn't tolerate these grandsons shouting and shouting.

An emperor of Liu Song, whose uncle was surnamed Lu, insisted on visiting a noble family named Wang.The emperor said don't go, you're making yourself miserable.The person surnamed Lu said that I was the emperor's uncle, and I had to go, so I went.When he handed over his business card in the reception room, no one paid any attention to him for two hours, so just stay by himself and hang it at the door.He really had the perseverance to wait there. Two hours later, the door for grocery shopping was opened, come in! After entering, the master did not greet him in the main hall, but in the bedroom, which was very impolite.The master was lying shirtless with his back to him, and the little girl was fanning him.He just stood there, no one gave up his seat, and no one offered him tea. He stood there for more than an hour.As soon as the owner turned over, hey, who is this?Why is he here, who is he?Then at this time, the servant brought a bed, that is, Maza, and put it here for him to sit on.After sitting down, the host asked, what is your last name?He said my surname is Lu, Lu XX.Who are you, Lu Bozhi, who used to raise horses for our family?Lu Bozhi is my grandfather, he raised horses, and later made military exploits.Why did the horse boy come into my house?Throw me out!The servant was thrown out.As soon as the man turned around, he heard the gentry pointing to the Maza and said, take this out and burn it.

When Lu returned home, he cried to his nephew, the emperor, saying that I was your uncle, how could I be so humiliated.The emperor was very angry, you still have to look at the owner to beat the dog!You don't care if he raises horses, he is now the emperor's uncle, why do you treat him like this!But there is no way, the emperor can only tell Lu XX, you deserve it, I told you not to go, if you have to go, I can't afford to provoke him.Why can't the emperor offend him?Because the family surnamed Wang are all high officials in the court, and almost 60% of the land in the world belongs to them. His family is very high in economics, politics, and status.

As the gentry gradually declined, the common landlords rose.Especially in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were frequent changes at that time, and the wars were the most fierce. It was all the common people who made military achievements, so the power of the common people became stronger and stronger.
