Chapter 1655 Great vassal

The imperial examination system will become Cao Liang's unswerving national policy. It will not only be implemented in Bingzhou and Youzhou, but will soon be expanded to all prefectures and counties in the country, including the two prefectures of Yongliang.

Although the two prefectures of Yongliang are still under the control of the Sima family, Cao Liang believes that it will not take long before he can recover Guanzhong and truly revival the Wei family.

Of course, in the process of promoting the imperial examination system to the whole country, they will definitely be subject to resistance and pressure from all parties. This is the biggest piece of cake retained by the rich family of the scholars. Whoever wants to touch it will definitely be attacked by groups.

However, after the baptism of war, the power of the Shi family had declined greatly, because in the early stages of the war, most of the Shi family wealthy families were on the side of the Sima family. When the war was about to end, they inevitably had to be liquidated. Therefore, when the Sima family moved the capital to Chang'an, most of these Shi family wealthy families followed, so when Cao Liang planned to push the imperial examination system across the country, the resistance also became much smaller.

Even if Cao Liang took Guanzhong and finally destroyed the Sima family, there would not be much obstacles in the Yongliang area. After all, those scholars were as anxious as dogs who were strayed, and were afraid of having the same fate as the Sima family and everyone was in danger. If they wanted to oppose Cao Liang's new policy, they would probably have the will but not enough.

So at this time, it is actually the best time to implement the imperial examination system and implement the new policy. Only by breaking it and then establishing it can a new dynasty be created.

Of course, the first thing to do is to establish a system of officials with three provinces and six ministries. Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling will be held by Huan Fan and Xiahou Xuan. These two official positions are the same as those of the disciples, both of which are from the first rank. However, Cao Liang added Huan Fan as the left prime minister and Xiahou Xuan as the right prime minister, so that the two men can reach the first rank and have a transcendent status.

With the merits of Huan Fan and Xiahou Xuan, he was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Right and Right, which was also what everyone expected. Huan Fan has always served as the military advisor of the Bingzhou Army, providing advice for Cao Liang and acting in military affairs. Xiahou Xuan served as the Lantai Order, in charge of government affairs and being responsible for logistics. Both of them were like Cao Liang's right-hand man, and were indispensable. Now Cao Liang handed over the two most important departments among the three provinces and was granted the title of Prime Minister of the Right and Right. It can be seen that Cao Liang relied on them. In the new dynasty, they would also become the pillars of the middle and support the country's cause of the new dynasty.

Pei Xiu was appointed as the sect and was also one of the leaders of the three provinces. Since he did not increase his position, his rank was determined to be from the first rank. Although Pei Xiu could not be comparable to Huan Fan and Xiahou Xuan, he was one of the three giants in the court and one of the only three first rank officials among civil officials. The Shangshu who went down to the highest was the second rank.

Lu Zhi served as the Minister of Personnel, Fu Xuan served as the Minister of Revenue, Ren Kai served as the Minister of Rites, Wang Ji served as the Minister of War, Li Yin served as the Minister of Justice, and Yu Chun served as the Minister of Works.

Lu Zhi and Fu Xuan were Cao Liang's old subordinates. Since Cao Liang launched a troops in Bingzhou, he has been serving as the military and chief lord of the Bingzhou Army. He is Cao Liang's most capable assistant. This time he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue. One is in charge of the administration of officials and the other is in charge of finance. He is also the most important position and is highly valued by Cao Liang.

The most important Minister of War, Cao Liang, asked Wang Ji to serve as the position. Wang Ji had always been the governor of Bingzhou and provided logistical support for Cao Liang's battles in the front. In fact, Wang Qi was originally a military general, but the Bingzhou army was full of talents and starry-catching generals. Cao Liang lacked a heavyweight figure to take charge of Bingzhou at that time, so Wang Ji became the governor of Bingzhou and became the behind-the-scenes hero like Xiao He.

This time, Cao Liang transferred Wang Ji to the capital and was awarded the title of Minister of War, which was considered Wang Ji's long-cherished wish. In addition to Minister of War, Cao Liang also appointed Wang Ji as the general of the army, and he also became the only military position among the three provinces and six ministries.

As for Ren Kai, Li Yin, and Yu Chun, Cao Liang promoted new people from young officials. It was precisely because of the advantage of time travelers that they knew everything that Cao Liang recruited these powerful ministers of the Western Jin Dynasty to his command in advance, and gave them promotion and reuse. Like Ren Kai, Li Yin, Yu Chun and others, they had served as prefect and governors before. This time they entered the dynasty, they were even listed as the candidate for the Secretariat and ranked second in the rank of the main.

Cao Liang's re-use of Ren Kai and others surprised many people. After all, they are still quite young and have little experience. Will there be any problems with the rapid re-use?

However, Cao Liang smiled at this. People with ability are capable no matter when they are at, while those mediocre and incompetent people live until they are old and are incompetent.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties were originally an era of wanton, arrogant, extravagant and corrupt, but in this turbid current, there was a clear stream, such as Ren Kai and Yu Chun and others. They were not afraid of the powerful and honest, and were honest and upright, which was what Cao Liang valued, so it was not surprising that they were promoted like a rocket.

The Minister of the Shangshu, as well as the doctors and the Minister of the Department, were suitable candidates. For example, Yang Xiu, the Minister of War, was Yang Hu's cousin, who was knowledgeable and talented, and was promoted by the Secretary of the Central Committee, Zhang Hua, was even promoted by Cao Liang. He was knowledgeable, intelligent and talented. Others, such as Li Xi, Yang Zhao, Tang Bin, etc., were also up-and-comers with virtue and talent, and were all valued by Cao Liang.

In terms of the army, Cao Liang did not make too many changes, and he maintained the current setting of the Governor's Office of the Three Army. Deng Ai, Yang Hu and Du Yu were respectively led by the Left Army, the Central Army and the Right Army. However, after Cao Liang succeeded to the throne, he still promoted and rewarded these generals.

Deng Ai was named General of Cavalry, Governor of the Left Army, Du Yu was named General of the Cheqi and Cavalry, Governor of the Right Army, and Yang Hu was named General of the Guard, Governor of the Central Army, and commanded the three armies.

After Deng Ai, Yang Hu and Du Yu were promoted, the positions of the six deputy governors were promoted accordingly. Ma Long, the deputy governor of the Left Army, was promoted to General of the West, Qian Hong was promoted to General of the Zhenxi, Shi Bao, the deputy governor of the Right Army, Liu Jing was promoted to General of the Zhendong, Wen Qin, the deputy governor of the Central Army, and Wang Jun was promoted to General of the Zhennan.

From the perspective of rank, General of Cavalry, General of Che and Cavalry, and General of Guard all came from first-rank official positions, and General of Four Conquests and Four Towns were all from second-rank official positions. After increasing the title of general, they were promoted to second-rank official positions accordingly. Therefore, Deng Ai, Yang Hu, Du Yu, the Secretary of the Three Provinces, the Secretary of the Secretariat, and the Order of the Secretariat were of the same level, and Ma Long and others were of the same level as the Secretary of the Six Ministry, but because Huan Fan and Xiahou Xuan were given prime ministers, they were slightly higher than them.
