With Li Zicheng's acquiescence, the Dashun army was finally allowed to enter the Beijing Division.Song Xiance looked at the chaos in the city and was powerless to stop it.Li Zicheng is immersed in the harem, Niu Jinxing is busy cleaning up the treasury and appointing officials, and he can't wait to see his jokes, so he definitely doesn't care.Liu Zongmin himself is a lawless lord, it's not bad if he doesn't make trouble, it's really embarrassing to kill this Zhiduoxing, and he is also a little discouraged.Li Yan wanted to take advantage of this time to let Song Xiance understand that King Chuang could only be a bandit who fought a war, and was definitely not the material of the lord of a country, and persuaded him to find another job.In the past two days, Wang Shuo has been familiar with Song Xiance because of Song Xiance's relief on Qianmen Street.Song Xiance saw that Li Yan glanced at Wang Shuo, and almost treated Wang Shuo as an equal, so he knew that this person was not as simple as a personal captain, but he didn't pick on it, he just looked at what Li Yan was going to do in the end.The two came out of Donghua Gate, met Wang Shuo, and prepared to go to the hemp rope alley next to Chongwen Gate to eat fried gourd silk.There is a restaurant there that is more authentic and has a Shaanxi flavor.This fried gourd shred, in fact, is fried pig intestine, which is a famous dish in Shaanxi.Although Li Yan and Song Xiance are not from Shaanxi, they also love this bite, and Wang Shuo certainly likes to eat this.After the three of them went there once in a while to eat, they couldn't stop.Coming out of the Donghua Gate, crossing the moat, the north side of the road is the spiritual shed that Li Zicheng let Chongzhen build, two monks sit in the spiritual shed to chant the scriptures, and Chongzhen's coffin is parked behind the spiritual shed.According to the general rules, when the Son of Heaven is mourned, he must stop for at least seven days, and only after seven days can Chongzhen be buried in the tomb of his favorite concubine Tian Guifei, which is already the lowest regulation for the Son of Heaven.The reason why Chongzhen was put in the tomb of his concubine was really no choice.Li Zicheng entered Beijing, and the matter was in a hurry, and the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen had not yet been repaired.It would be good if Li Zicheng could bury Chongzhen, and it was impossible to repair his grave again.The relics of the Ming Dynasty discussed, when Chongzhen was alive, he liked Tian Guifei the most, and fortunately, Tian Guifei died early and repaired the mausoleum.It's just right, let's get the emperor there too.After death, Chongzhen should be satisfied with being able to be buried with his favorite concubine.Chongzhen's spiritual shed is set up on the edge of Donghua Gate, after the Dashun Emperor dispersed the dynasty, many former ministers also want to go out of Donghua Gate, just pass by in front of the Ling.But the ministers were probably trying to avoid suspicion, but none of them got off their horses and went to worship.Li Yan and Song Xiance joined Wang Shuo, and were about to pass by, when they saw that the remnants of the previous dynasty did not go to worship their ancestors, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh: "The world is really hot and cold, this person wearing a black gauze hat is not as good as the bald monk who has feelings for the previous dynasty." ”Song Xiance smiled and said: "The black gauze hats worn by these relics of the former dynasty are all worn by monkeys, to put it bluntly, they are a group of monkeys.Monks don't necessarily have feelings, but they can't earn money if they don't recite scriptures, so they don't dare not recite them. ”Li Yan knew that Song Xiance was good at laughing, so he ignored his jokes, and shook his head and sighed: "The selection of officials in the Ming Dynasty was from the township test to the meeting test, and then there was a court test, and finally there was a long time to be a candidate.When you are a candidate, you have to follow others to learn how to be an official in politics, and only those who have enough qualifications and good grades can become officials, and this system of electing officials can be described as very strict.Why did they finally choose such a group of heartless things before the master's bones were cold, and they talked nonsense in front of the current master, fighting for power and profit. ”In the past two days, the former ministers of the previous dynasty, seeing that the change of dynasty had no effect on them, began to relapse again, attacking each other in the court, and annoying Li Zicheng.Li Yan also looked angry, and despised these people in his heart, so he made sarcastic remarks today.Song Xiance said with a smile: "You don't understand this, right, the Ming Dynasty will be ruined in this imperial examination system and seniority, and people who have just become an official think, my black yarn is not easy, I have been studying poetry and books for more than 20 years, and it takes a lamp to boil oil to get such a black yarn, is it easy, I just climbed to this official position, your court will be finished, this is not a pit for me, you are finished, I can't finish it, at least, I have to earn back my more than 20 years of lamp oil money, the new court is not coming, it doesn't matter, you will be finished with the previous dynasty, I will continue to work for the new dynasty, and this is where the imperial examination is unpopular.Therefore, relying on the imperial examination system to select officials, that is pure nonsense for those who have been officials for a long time, and have high-ranking officials, he thinks so, it is not easy for me to live in the best official residence, I not only have to study hard for 20 years, I have been an official for many years, when do I dare to be careless in case I offend which master, I will participate in a book, maybe even a small life has to be accompanied by a companion like a tiger, you don't know, the previous dynasty will be over, I haven't enjoyed enough of so many ministers, who wants to be loyal to whoever is loyal is, I don't stop, anyway, I am not loyal.This is the problem of the Ming Dynasty's selection of officials by seniority, this imperial examination and seniority ranking, so that these officials feel that his fame is earned by his own efforts, and has nothing to do with the court and the emperor.No matter how big an official he is, he will not be grateful to the court and the emperor.It was only natural that he would abandon the previous dynasty and serve the new emperor.The court uses people like this, and it can't show the grace of the court's generous celebrities, and then ask people to repay their loyalty, isn't it a joke Plus those royal relatives, relying on favors to climb up the official lord, one by one bullshit, even the word filial piety doesn't know, what else can there be loyal martyrs and those who specialize in the trend of greeting, relying on the emperor's side to favor the eunuchs who climb up, but also a bunch of things that only recognize money and even their own mothers and sons can't recognize everything, can they know what is loyalty and filial piety and what is righteousness The Ming Dynasty chose officials like this, Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "If our Majesty can understand where the Ming Dynasty was defeated and do the opposite, then the dynasty will have no honor, no sages, and the people of the world, all for my use, if so, there will be hope for Dashun" Li Yan smiled: "The wishes of the military advisor are good, but I can talk about these truths in front of Your Majesty." ”Song Xiance couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then restrained his smile and asked Wang Shuo: "General Wang, what do you think" Song Xiance is full of wealth, shrewd and capable, and there is no lack of humor, as Li Yan said, he is a talent.But this person is quite scheming and rarely reveals it in front of others.Wang Shuo was afraid that Song Xiance would find a flaw if he said too much, but he couldn't help but answer, and after thinking about it, he said: "The military advisor just talked about it, and he benefited a lot from it.There are indeed loopholes in the explicit system, but its original intention of encouraging students to study hard is still good.Fundamentally, it is how to identify the Magi among these students, so that these Magi can really take their rightful positions, and how to prevent the appointment of incompetent and corrupt officials.Also, it is for the people to be an official, not for the favor of a monarch.The officials of the people only seek the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, not the personal karma, and this party is a virtuous man.If the people are rich, the world will be rich, and if the people are full, the world will be peaceful, and the monarch will be the monarch of the world.How to choose such wise men from among all the peoples and become the parents of the people is the way to choose officials. ”Song Xiance's eyes lit up and asked: "According to General Wang's opinion, how can we realize what you just said" Li Yan said: "Let's not keep talking about these heavy things on the street, go to the restaurant, find a secluded place, and the two of you will talk about it, what is it" Song Xiance smiled, and the three of them went all the way east along the alley of Guanyin Temple
