The north wind is howling in the house, but the interior is warm like spring.
Returning to Hanjing in Shannan from the far Western Regions, the north wind was no longer as fierce as the Western Regions, Niu Jinda listened to the question and answer between the emperor and Li Chao, but his heart was a little flustered.
Previously, the emperor led the army back to the Central Plains, and he stayed behind in the Western Regions with tens of thousands of horses.
With the assistance of the cavalry of Tuyuhun and Xue Yantuo, Niu Jinda crossed the Tianshan Mountains and, under the leadership of Mo Hedu, pursued the Khan all the way.
Defeated again and again, the Khan had fled to Broken Leaf near the Sea of Slaughter.
Now the Western Regions are considered to be pacified, and Gaochang, Qiuci and other countries that were once dependent on the Western Turks have been broken by the coalition forces.
Mo Hedu replaced his nephew Yuli Khan as the Western Turkic Khan and submitted to the Tang Dynasty.
Niu Jinda, as the protector of Anxi, certainly did not want to see Mo Hedu regain control of the Western Regions.
What he meant was that the imperial court would build castles in the Western Regions, set up military towns, garrison troops and immigrants, and truly control the Western Regions.
He had talked to Li Chao about this issue before, and Li Chao was also supportive of it.
Turkic and other tribes are born anti-bone.
Today, Mo He surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and after ten or eight years, after his strength became stronger, he would definitely betray the Tang Dynasty again.
Therefore, Datang couldn't give him this opportunity in the first place.
Li Chao's suggestion to Niu Jindati was that the Anxi Protectorate set up military towns and castles at several key locations in the Western Regions.
Li Chao first set up four towns, in Qiuzi, Yanqi, Khotan, Shule four places outside the current station of the Anxi Protectorate, Yanqi, Khotan, Shule four slender castles, built a military town, under the unified leadership of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
The location of these four towns is all south of the Tianshan Mountains, and it is also the easiest to control.
Controlling the four towns, allowing the imperial court to control the south of the Tianshan Mountains, can also more stabilize Gaochang and other places.
As for the north of the Tianshan Mountains, or even the west of the Green Mountains, the imperial court will not move for the time being.
To the north of the Tianshan Mountains and to the west of the Green Ridge, it was first handed over to Mohelu Khan.
This is also to avoid Mo Hedu's immediate rebellion, after all, he defected to the Tang Dynasty, so he fought hard with Haoli in order to win the position of Western Turkic Khan.
If in the end, there is nothing, then he will definitely turn his face.
Give him the land south of the Tianshan Mountains and west of the Green Mountains first, which is also his heart.
At the same time, it can also allow him to continue to fight with the forces of the Khan of Qili who fled to Broken Leaves, and Datang can just sit and watch south of the Tianshan Mountains.
Li Chao's plan made Niu Jinda very excited.
If this plan is really implemented, then Datang will not only occupy a Gaochang, but also occupy the entire south of the Tianshan Mountains.
He, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, will definitely be promoted to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, leading Gaochang and the four towns.
The Western Regions is not poor, the south of the Tianshan Mountains is guarded by the two roads of the Silk Road, the South Tianshan Road and the North Tianshan Road, the north road is from Dunhuang to Gaochang to the west of Guici.
The south road is from Dunhuang to the end, through Shule through the green ridge to the west.
Datang controlled the four towns, and also controlled the Silk Road, which is also quite important.
And Li Chao's plan is very long-term, once Datang has a firm foothold in the four towns of Anxi, then it will be able to further send troops to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and then the broken leaves in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, Tocharo and other places west of the Green Ridge can be taken.
Restore the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty.
However, there are not many people in the DPRK and China who support this plan.
Many didn't even feel the need to send troops to the Western Regions, thousands of miles away.
But after staying in the Western Regions for a while, Niu Jinda felt very necessary.
He believed that the Emperor would also support this plan, as the Emperor had personally visited the Western Regions.
Just as the Tang Dynasty controlled the Hetao and divided the feudal feuds in Monan, if the imperial court controlled the Western Regions, then the Western Turks would no longer be able to become strong and threaten the Tang Dynasty.
However, at this time, the emperor was talking to Li Chao about the reform of the imperial examination.
Niu Jinda sat there drinking a cup of tea and a cup of tea, but it was very boring to listen to, and he couldn't understand it.
Isn't the current system of taking a taxi very good?
Most of the children of nobles and bureaucrats start as guards, and the children of low-ranking officials start from their relatives and accounts.
After having enough qualifications, you will have the opportunity to be selected for the office, often as a small officer or a small civilian at the beginning, and slowly rise up.
Civil and military can be converted, and if you make military achievements, you will be promoted quickly.
Previously, the reform of the official system of the imperial court had broken the boundary between officials and officials, and officials could be promoted.
And the students who graduated from the imperial court can take the official examination, pass the official examination, and then do well, they will have the opportunity to rise.
Now the imperial court is going to carry out the reform of the imperial examination again, and how to change it Li Chao thought carefully for a long time, and finally grasped the emperor's intentions.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is very important to take the imperial examination.
However, the current imperial examination system is indeed not suitable for the needs of the imperial court.
The minister thought that in order to reform the imperial examination, several important directions were needed.
First of all, the number of scholars in the imperial examination has to be increased, and if only a few people are selected in one subject, it will not be able to meet the talent needs of the imperial court at all.
Secondly, the examination must be targeted and more widely applicable, so although the specialist examination has its needs, the imperial examination of the imperial court should also be the Ming Jing Jinshi Department, but in order to make the examination more applicable, the minister requested that only the Jinshi Department be opened in the future. ” "The content of the examination should be the scriptures, poems, and questions, not only to test the nine classics of Confucianism, but also to test the poems, and to increase the current affairs of the question.
In this way, we can ensure that the selected scholars are the best. ” Li Shimin pinched his chin, "Examining the scriptures, poems, and questions, this is equivalent to combining the Ming Jing and the Jinshi, this is the content of the previous Li family exam, well, yes."
Li Shimin studied the content of the exam before entering the Li family in detail, and felt that the content of this exam was more of a test of the scholar's knowledge.
In the past, the imperial court had the Ming Classics, Jinshi and other subjects.
The Ming Jing is mainly to test the meaning of the scriptures, and generally the major classics of Confucianism are tested separately, and each student can pass one or two classics, that is, only the scriptures he has studied.
Therefore, it is generally easier for children from large families to study the scriptures, and they only need to study one or two scriptures.
And those scholars who do not have a home school, they are generally admitted to the Jinshi, and the Jinshi is the main test of poetry, which is a comparative test of talent.
But now the content of Li Chao's imperial examination is to test Jingyi and poetry together, and he has to take the test and ask questions.
And the meaning of the scriptures is the content of the nine classics, not one or two classics.
In general, the difficulty has increased considerably.
The minister proposed that the imperial examination be graded and divided into three levels of examination.
The county test, the road test, the meeting test, and the palace test.
The imperial examination is held every three years, and in the first year of the county examination, all scholars with a clean net worth can apply for the examination in their hometown and take the county examination in their own county.
Those who have passed the county examination have both talents. ” "In the second year, the talents of each province can participate in the unified examination at the provincial level, and the talents of the province who have passed the county examination will be unified examination.
After passing, it is a lifter. ” "In the spring of the third year, people gathered in Beijing to participate in the examination.
Those who pass the examination are both jinshi.
The Jinshi who won the prize finally went to the Golden Palace to participate in the palace examination presided over by His Majesty himself, and finally His Majesty selected the first, second and third champions to explore the flowers, and ranked the rest of the Jinshi. ” "The minister suggests that at least three hundred jinshi be admitted in one class."
"Those who pass the Jinshi examination will be sent to Guozijian to study administration for one year, and then the officials will be delegated.
Those who show talents and raise people in the examination also have the qualifications to be officials, and they can directly participate in the official examination. ” The more Li Shimin listened, the more he felt that this level 3 exam seemed to be very good.
Xiucai, lifting, Jinshi, first-level examinations, and finally the Golden Palace examination, he personally selected the champion.
"Well, very good, Wen Yuan, you go back and write a detailed imperial examination charter to me" Niu Jinda heard that they were finally finished talking, and shook his head to cheer himself up.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."
Li Shimin talked about the reform of the imperial examination, and he was in a good mood, and said to Lao Niu with a smile, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ” "Your Majesty, the minister asked the imperial court to set up four towns in Anxi, set up military towns in Qiuci, Khotan, Shule, and Yanqi, build castles, send soldiers, and immigrate to the cantonment, and permanently incorporate the south of the Tianshan Mountains into the territory of the Tang Dynasty."
Niu Jinda said in a loud voice. t1706231537:
