Chapter 908 (1/2)
People live for fame and profit, and all the people in the world are ants, but no one is willing to live a good life. Therefore, it is even more painful to let a person give up the fame and wealth that he had for a long time, and give up the feeling of worshiping and being high above the world, sometimes even more painful than killing a person.
If this is the case for individual individuals, let alone the aristocratic families who have enjoyed the worship of the world for hundreds of years and suddenly give up their influence and fame and wealth. For them, it is no different from the disaster of destroying the family.
Since Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei Wen in the Three Kingdoms period, adopted the opinion of his minister Chen Qun and gave up the system of examination and examination in the Han Dynasty, and changed to the system of nine grades in the middle, he completely opened a broad road to gain fame and wealth for aristocratic families.
The accumulation of more than 400 years is enough to make such a system deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, or flow into the blood and the subconscious of the people. What's more, it was originally a system that the rich families had monopolized for hundreds of years and had to be consolidated after fighting for their lives.
Because they know more than more people in the world, they know what kind of huge benefits and prestige the nine grade system can bring to a large family. Even sometimes, the royal family is like a puppet in their hands, governing the country and treating the people under heaven with their ideas.
Therefore, during the implementation of the imperial examination system in recent years, they were always looking forward to the collapse of the imperial examination system, and that the nine grade middle standard system could be brought into the orthodoxy again by the imperial court. Therefore, they spent two or three generations of painstaking efforts to fight against the Imperial court.
However, with the official resume of the court, more and more said that it came from the imperial examination system, rather than the nine grade system. When the silent battle was about to take their defeat as the result, they had to go to the bottom of the boat and make a final desperate struggle.
Li Hong knows very well that a system reform can not be easily completed in a few years. After all, what you want to confront and reform is a system that has existed, developed, perfected and stabilized for more than 400 years in China.
According to the rule of the people's Republic of China, it has not been used for a long time in the hearts of the people.
Just like the Education Department of the last generation, sometimes there is another education reform, which will not only attract the opposition of the class, but even the people who do not know what to do will complain because of their temporary maladjustment.
Time is the only standard to test the truth. Li Hong's ability to confront and break up with the aristocratic family and the five surnames and seven hopes is not because of his strong courage, but because he has more than 1000 years of modern consciousness than everyone in the Tang Dynasty. He knows better than anyone that the Imperial examination system will become China Every dynasty of Xia nationality highly praised the system of selecting officials.
Moreover, this is the only evolution in the natural law, when the nine grade system is at the end of the system, and it is the most correct official selection system suitable for the current Chinese nation.
He understood why the father and mother of the Dragon went straight to Luoyang palace after they left the platform, ignoring the requests of officials and aristocrats outside.
Because Li Zhi and Wu Mei had a better understanding than Li Hong, who had been fighting against the aristocratic clan headed by the five surnames and seven hopes, that they had a firm attitude towards their fame, as well as the pain and hysteria of losing fame and wealth.
So when Li Hong was suspicious, he was still wondering why his father and his mother avoided these five surnames and seven outlooks. He saw the oppressed heads in the long street.
Li Hong felt that some of the people on the street were not very appropriate to describe the endless expanse of people. Even in the battlefield, he had never seen such a scene.
Dozens of Li Hong, who were trembling in front of them, could not even name themselves, and even had few familiar faces. They knelt down on the street one by one with sad faces, painful expressions and even old tears. Facing the direction of Li Hong's coming out, they repeatedly kowtowed. In the crowd of Wuyang and Wuyang, they immediately sent out one after another of painful voices.
Although the old man looked at the old man with tears, he could not understand what he was sad about.
