The Four Hundred and Ninetieth Chapter Palace Fight Is Not as Good as Rebellion (27)

In one day, Zheng Nian'er was somewhat frustrated by being taught by the Gongdou system twice in a row!

No way, the Gongdou system made a lot of sense, even if Zheng Nian'er felt uncomfortable, she had to admit it.

However, she was still a little unwilling, and carefully explained the benefits and rules of the imperial examination to Emperor Yongcheng again.

Emperor Yongcheng's eyes flickered constantly.

The same is true for the selection of officials in the examination, the method of the late emperor is only within a small range, and there is no set of established rules.

And what Zheng Nian'er said about the selection of officials for the imperial examination, whether it is the general rules or the implementation rules, are very detailed, as if they have accumulated and evolved over hundreds of thousands of years.

It's very mature and it works!

If it can be implemented smoothly, it will definitely be able to break the monopoly of the aristocratic family and allow the imperial power to be concentrated to the greatest extent.

After all, the person who gave the test questions was the emperor, and all the jinshi were "protege of the emperor".

Those young officials who have entered office will not only know that there is an aristocratic family, but they will not see an imperial emperor sitting on the dragon chair!

What an imperial examination system!

Sure enough, it is a good strategy to fight against the family!

Emperor Yongcheng was moved, and he was eager to try it!

His first decree, on the surface, seems to have been successful and will be implemented smoothly.

But in fact, Emperor Yongcheng is not stupid.

He knows that through this incident, his prestige is not much, and it is even more pitiful.

The more successful the salt administration reform is, the more people will praise the Queen Mother He!

This is also the real reason why Emperor Yongcheng resented the Empress Dowager He so much and couldn't help scolding in secret.

He didn't feel the help from his mother, and there was only grief and humiliation in his heart.

no!

He must make political achievements, let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and let the people of the world know that he is the real master of the Dayuan Dynasty!

Well, the second fire will start from the electors of the imperial examination!

Emperor Yongcheng clenched his fists hard, rekindling the flames of war, and his heart was filled with endless pride.

Feng Shou has eyeliner in the palace,

Before Emperor Yongcheng really made a noise, he received the news.

Feng Shou: I'm so tired, why can't the little emperor rest for two days?

The matter of Yanzheng hasn't passed yet, he, he actually began to challenge the whole family again without fear of death.

Feng Shou did not speak for the aristocratic family, nor did he feel that the aristocratic family was right to control the appointment of court officials.

In fact, Feng Shou's suggestion was originally introduced by the late emperor for the examination and selection of officials.

However, this should not be rushed.

Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food, you can't make reforms at every turn!

Although the matter of salt administration touched the interests of the family, it did not break the foundation of the family.

However, there was still a big disturbance in the family. If the Queen Mother He hadn't acted in time, the little emperor who had just been in power for less than half a year would probably have issued a "criminal edict".

Now, Emperor Yongcheng is even more powerful, and he actually wants to "draw wages from the bottom of the pot" to the aristocratic family.

Hehe, salt and iron are at most the money bag of the noble family, and the recommendation to become an official is the unique privilege of the noble family, and it is the foundation for them to control the world.

With the prestige and power of the founding emperor, the late emperor did not dare to easily engage in any national-level imperial elections.

At most, it is to take an exam in a certain yamen, or in a few official positions with very strict professional requirements.

For example, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment must be familiar with the "Da Yuan Law" and be proficient in criminal investigation and case determination.

Some rhetorical family members, or nerds recommended by the family, are not suitable.

Another example is the Ministry of Industry, which must know the minimum common sense of engineering.

In these official positions, the late emperor put forward the requirement of taking an exam first and then becoming an official.

Although the aristocratic families were somewhat dissatisfied, they did not care too much.

Originally, according to Feng Shou's plan for the late emperor, it was slowly implemented in a small area.

Then, it will be radiated to three provinces and six departments, and then implemented nationwide.

This process is very long and requires the efforts of twenty or thirty years, or even two generations.

After all, the family has been going on for thousands of years, such a huge force, too many intertwined connections, it is impossible to achieve overnight.

If one gets it wrong, it will be bounced back by the family.

Although the royal family of the Great Yuan Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, the aristocratic families did not dare to change emperors and dynasties as they did in the past.

However, that didn't completely anger the family.

Once they are pushed into a hurry, this group of people may not be able to do some crazy things.

Emperor Yongcheng was originally a young emperor, and he did not have any dazzling political achievements after taking charge of the government.

The court was in turmoil, and let's talk about the noble family who provoked the trouble, even some martial artists and new nobles, it is estimated that they will also complain about Yongcheng Emperor.

Until then--

Such a mess, even the Queen Mother, it is estimated that it is difficult to clean up.

Emperor Yongcheng's move was no longer simply stupid, but he took the initiative to wrap the rope around his neck.

Feng Shou couldn't sit still, he couldn't let Emperor Yongcheng continue to make trouble.

Without thinking about it, Feng Shou entered the palace.

"Sir, are you here?"

With a decision in his heart, Emperor Yongcheng was a little uneasy.

Seeing Master Feng, whom he trusted most, Emperor Yongcheng temporarily forgot the unhappiness between teachers and students.

He warmly greeted him and talked to Feng Shou with a happy face.

Feng Shou suppressed the restlessness in his heart and greeted the emperor without a trace.

In fact, the moment he entered the palace, Feng Shou regretted it again.

He shouldn't be so reckless.

The little emperor was no better than the former emperor. Although the former emperor was suspicious, he still had a bottom line—Feng Shou was credible.

As for the little emperor, he is sensitive, inferior and self-willed.

If Feng Shou came rashly and directly asked him if he wanted to implement some kind of imperial election, the little emperor would definitely be dissatisfied—

Alright, Feng Shou, how dare you set eyes and ears by my side!

In fact, as the greatest advisor of the late emperor, Feng Shou was able to strategize and count all the strategies.

In addition to his high IQ and good strategy, there should be enough sources.

Including the late emperor and all the martial arts, everyone is guessing that Feng Shou must have a team of people who are good at inquiring about news.

To say that he is the biggest spy chief of the Great Yuan Dynasty is a bit too much.

But he has placed staff in the palace and in the backyards of major martial arts families, which is also a fact that many people tacitly acknowledge.

That is to say, Feng Shou had no intention of official career. After the establishment of the Dayuan Dynasty, people quickly "returned to seclusion".

Otherwise, the late emperor would have been unable to tolerate Feng Shou.

For some reason, the late emperor not only failed to "hold all the bows" against Feng Shou, but also did not overly clean up the secret agents in the palace.

He just cleared his side. In other palaces, like the Queen Mother, Feng Shou's eyeliner still existed.

Emperor Yongcheng is not as good as the previous emperor, and the people around him were originally arranged by the empress dowager He, the three major ministers and other bigwigs.

Among them, there are people from Feng Shou.

Feng Shou didn't want to monitor the little emperor, but worried about him and protected him secretly.

However, after Emperor Yongcheng knew the "truth", he would not necessarily appreciate it, and he might even be afraid of Feng Shou, feeling that he was not a minister.

Feng Shou had already learned that Emperor Yongcheng was unreasonable and ungrateful, so he did not dare to try too much.

Alas, the little emperor doesn't have enough heart, and he doesn't trust him so much. These things can still be hidden from him.

Feng Shou regretted that he should not have entered the palace hastily, but he had already come, and he could not return halfway.

So, he concealed his emotions and began to consciously guide Emperor Yongcheng.

An old fox like Feng Shou, if he is deliberate, can quickly achieve his goal.

As for Emperor Yongcheng, he was anxious and excited, and wanted to find someone to "share" with.

Hearing Feng Shousan's words of "gossip", he said excitedly, "Sir, now that the Salt Minister is about to be established, I want to follow my father's method and have an exam to select officials!"

Feng Shou's eyes lit up, hey, he's not stupid yet!

Taking the opportunity of the Secretary of Salt Administration to conduct an experiment in a small area under the banner of the late emperor is not out of the ordinary.

"In addition, I also want to conduct a major assessment, from the three provinces and six departments, down to the officials of the county and county, all of them will be inspected!"

"Those who pass the exam will continue to be officials, and those who fail the exam will be eliminated!"

Feng Shou: ...As expected, I'm only smart for three seconds.

Just when you praised you for being "not stupid", you immediately gave me a slap in the face.

National official examination?

Such a huge momentum, such a mobilization, if one does not get it right, it will overturn the car.

Moreover, this kind of assessment is of little significance.

Because from top to bottom, from "examiners" to "examiners", they are all from aristocratic families or officials.

It can't be said that officials protect each other, but there are too many unspoken rules in officialdom, and it is really not something that a little emperor can play around with.

If one does not get it right, and after a lifetime of tossing, the little emperor will not only get the results he wants, but it will cost the people and money, causing the court to complain.

What is the difference between this and the direct implementation of the imperial examinations across the country?

Not only can they not choose the talents they really want, but they will be calculated and deceived by the tycoons of aristocratic families.

In the end, the prestige of the little emperor will drop again and again, and maybe he will be quietly killed by the aristocratic families, and he will be replaced by King Liang directly!

"Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, the imperial examination is held every three years. The examination was just held the year before last. If you want the next time, you have to wait until the end of this year!"

Feng Shou tried his best to adjust his breathing, and if he didn't want to come up, he reprimanded Emperor Yongcheng for being "inappropriate".

He tried to reason with Emperor Yongcheng in a good voice.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Emperor Yongcheng smiled coldly, "Sir, during the last big exam, I didn't have the power to govern!"

His implication is that I am in charge of the government, and I want to take a big exam to "celebrate", isn't it possible?

The businessman who is usually doing business, the new owner is in charge, and he has to check the account again and test the guy in the shop.

I am a dignified emperor, is it not as good as those merchants?

Feng Shou: ... This is a crooked reason, and it is really choking.

"Your Majesty, the big exam is by no means a child's play, and it is not easy to arbitrarily break the old rules of the court!"

To be an emperor, one must also pay attention to the principle of "no change to the father for three years".

This is not only to demonstrate filial piety, but also to stabilize the court.

Although the late emperor passed away several years ago, the three-year period has already passed.

However, as a young emperor, Emperor Yongcheng has just taken over the leadership this year, so it is really difficult to have too many changes.

First, he was young and did not have much experience, and he still needed to learn in government affairs.

The second is that he has no prestige, and even if there is a change, he cannot really implement it.

The salt administration reform just now is an example.

Now, Emperor Yongcheng is better, and come directly to the court to move the earth.

Tsk tsk, let’s talk about the aristocratic family, even those officials from martial arts and poor families can’t stand Emperor Yongcheng’s willfulness and don’t want to let him mess around!

"Old case? Old case? Old case again!"

Emperor Yongcheng was annoyed, and no longer controlled his emotions, he shouted angrily: "When the father was here, there was no Bo Wenguan and Yan Zhengsi!"

There are no women in office or court!

These new tricks have not been made by the Queen Mother He now?

Oh, it is also "breaking the old rules", Queen Mother He can do it with a woman.

And he is the most supreme emperor of the Great Abyss Empire, but he can't?

What's the point of this? !

Emperor Yongcheng was secretly angry, and his anger was on the verge of erupting.

Feng Shou only felt that he could no longer be tired, the little emperor in front of him really disappointed him.

Moreover, Feng Shou can see that today, the emperor is not reforming for the sake of reform, he is purely for the sake of competing with the Queen Mother He and getting angry!

The contention of will and willful behavior is really not what a qualified king should look like.

To be an emperor, one must know how to forbear and how to weigh the pros and cons.

Even if it is the person he hates the most, as long as he is valuable to the country, society and his own rule, the emperor will tolerate it and even give him a heavy responsibility.

It was the late emperor. He was so jealous of the He family and hated the Empress Dowager He so much that the couple almost broke their faces.

However, when it came to public occasions, the late emperor was still able to show respect for the queen, and never shamed the queen in public.

There are also a few old officials left in the previous dynasty, who boasted of loyalty, but in fact they were famous.

At every turn, he would take out the sect of death advice, and all day long to scold the late emperor as a glory, he could even spit on the late emperor's face.

The late emperor wanted to kill these old thieves more than once, but he endured them all, and promoted the other party to the altar of loyal ministers and virtuous people.

It's not that he is not angry, nor that he has no resentment, but he values ​​his reputation more, and his country is stable!

Therefore, a person who is an emperor cannot do whatever he wants.

Not to be fooled like Emperor Yongcheng!

"Your Majesty, these are not the same thing!"

Although Feng Shou was disappointed, he did not give up completely, and he continued to persuade him with good words.

However, Emperor Yongcheng didn't listen at all.

In the end, he called himself "Zhen" again and again and asked Feng Shou to "retire".

Feng Shou: This is the second time!

His face was sinking and he left the palace without saying anything.

A few days later, Emperor Yongcheng announced two things at the conference:

First, officials of the Salt Administration Department had to pass an examination.

Second, the officials of the Great Yuan Dynasty had to conduct an assessment from top to bottom.

The courtiers were talking a lot, but Wang Yuan and the other old foxes from the aristocratic family remained silent.

"Second shot!"

He Tiantian knew the whole story as early as when Feng Shou entered the palace that day.

She gave an accurate assessment.

However, she had long expected that Emperor Yongcheng would continue to die, so she was not too surprised.

Instead of having time to pay attention to the nonsense of the Emperor of Char Siu, it is better to continue to extract the energy of the wild system.

According to the palace rules, on the fifteenth day of every month, the concubines would come back to greet the queen mother.

He Tiantian will use this time to practice Wujijue with wild energy at close range.

And the consequence of constantly scouring the wool is that the "sheep" finally realized it.

Wild Tong did not notice He Tiantian's abnormality, but felt an inexplicable danger in this person.

"Ding! Release the task to bring down the Queen Mother. The task is completed, and you will be rewarded with a Shusui Dan, which can wash the hair and cut the marrow and rejuvenate!"

Zheng Nian'er: ? ? ? ! ! !
