Throne room.

In the Great Wu Dynasty, hundreds of courtiers and lords stood in the main hall.

Emperor Xiang Yanran came back from sleeping for two hours, his legs were not weak, he was full of energy, and he sat on the throne of the Jinluan Hall again.

The emperor couldn't help but be very satisfied when he saw that the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all in good spirits and crowded the huge court.

The crown prince Xiang Tiange sat obediently and quietly on the prince's seat at the head of the Jinluan throne, listening to the government and politics, and did not dare to make a fuss.

"Three Princes Bestow the Throne!"

"It's a good day to be stunned today, the spring thunder is ringing, and everything is recovering! Ladies and gentlemen, actively contribute your opinions. ”

Xiang Yanran looked down at the courtiers and said lightly.

Prime Minister Xie Huyong, Taiwei Li Rong, and Imperial Historian Kong Hanyou were given seats, at the front of the court hall of the Jinluan Palace.

The rest of the civil and military ministers and nobles gathered together, but they were all silent, and the sound of needles falling could be heard.

Around the "year-old system", officials of the two factions have been arguing for half a month. In the face of this matter, other government affairs are insignificant.

All the ministers know that this Great Wu Dynasty will definitely break out a great war between the gate lords and the Confucian faction.

In order to compete for the right to recommend, both sides will go all out.

The more the storm comes, the quieter and more dead it is.

The battle of the court is like the arrangement of troops on the battlefield, who charges into battle, who is the Chinese army, who is the bait, who will cover, are extremely particular.

Without an order, who would not dare to act rashly.

It stands to reason that the three princes are the first to take the lead, but this time they didn't move at all.

Dong Xianliang participated in the Wu Dynasty for the first time, but he was involved in this great court dispute, and he was apprehensive.

However, who asked the emperor to name him and let him go into battle? This is forcing him, forcing his teacher Kong Hanyou, to come up with the results as soon as possible!

Dong Xianliang stiffened his head, the first to play the sparse and charged into battle, "Your Majesty, the minister Moling County ordered Dong Xianliang to enter the court and ask for a play!" ”

"Accurate!"

"The junior minister is humble and has no right to speak in the court.

However, because of the matter of the year, the court dispute is protracted and should be resolved as soon as possible.

The minister is raised for Gengzi at the age of Gengzi, and the palace test is excellent, and he has the courage to make suggestions, and dedicates "Raising the World's Virtuous Policies"! ”

"Whoever wants to seek good government must first seek a good man."

"I am a virtuous and virtuous person, and there are many outstanding people, all over the government and the opposition. 100,000 Confucian students want to serve the court, but there is no way out. ”

"The minister requests that the 'year-old system' be reformed and the 'awarding of officials based on materials' will be implemented!"

"The minister requests to set up a Taixue Academy and raise the world's wise men!"

"The minister presents a petition for thousands of Confucian students, these Confucian students are representatives of the hundred counties and thousands of counties of Great Chu, looking forward to changing the system and asking for the court's permission!"

Dong Xianliang arched his hand, holding a thick petition with red thumb prints on it, and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor.

Just by pressing the handprints, it takes up ten pages.

This was a secret operation after he returned to Jinling City to organize a petition from the Confucian students in Jinling last night, and it was highly confidential. has not had time to appear in the "Da Chu Di Daily", and naturally it is not known to the outside world.

Emperor Xiang Yanran bowed slightly, his face expressionless.

Dong Xianliang submitted a petition of 1,000 Confucian students, requesting restructuring. It seems that I still put my mind into it and went all out.

Next, let's see how the Prime Minister's Mansion responds.

The ministers of the Prime Minister's Office were unimpressed at first.

No matter how clever Dong Xianliang is, they can block back the words of a small county order.

But when they heard the end, the expressions of the ministers couldn't help but be moved.

Dong Xianliang actually pulled in thousands of Confucian students, and wrote a petition for the Confucian students in thousands of counties in the world. This means that he is not speaking on his own behalf, but on behalf of the Confucian scholars of the world.

This is a big deal, and the court must give an answer.

Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Xie Huyong, Vice Minister Wang Su, etc., looked at each other, and sent a low-level courtier to deal with Dong Xianliang's county order, which would definitely not work.

Changshi Xie Xu came out of the ranks, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, there are big advantages and small disadvantages of the year, let's not talk about these pros and cons."

But the minister thought that this was the Great Chu ancestral system. The rules set by Taizu are the foundation of my Great Chu Dynasty, how can I say that I can change it?

Did you smash the pot because the rice was not delicious?

Eating and smashing the pot is obviously inappropriate.

The year is that the officials above the county guard and the marquis above the 2,000 stone of Dachu can be recommended to participate in the palace examination and pass the assessment of His Majesty as an official.

Confucian scholars all over the world feel that it is unfair to move the year, and they feel that they are better than the lifter. It's all their illusion.

The officials above the 2,000-stone county guard recommended the moves, all of which are from the Great Chu clan, and have been diligent learners under the guidance of teachers since childhood.

Their family has countless books, and they have read thousands of books since childhood, and they have broadened their horizons with the elders of the family. How can this vision and this insight be compared to poor Confucianism?

I think it can't be changed! ”

Immediately, a royal historian jumped out and said: "The people recommended by the nobles and officials are almost all children of their relatives, and it is inevitable that they will be given and received privately, which is biased. The elected people are becoming more and more mediocre.

The minister thought that he should invite the elders who were highly respected by the Great Chu De, the impartial Confucian of the time, to be the people of the Zhongzheng and hired as the 'Zhongzheng Officials', and the Zhongzheng officials would evaluate all kinds of talents in the world and select talents for the imperial court.

The minister proposed that the 'year-old system' be changed to the 'zhongzheng system'. Select the world's capable people, and award officials based on materials. ”

This is the Confucian officials who have been discussing for a long time, and they have already come up with a preliminary idea, that is, to change the "year-old system" to the "Zhongzheng system".

It is still a recommendation, but the identity of the recommender must be changed.

Let the great Confucian of the world, who has the highest prestige in Dachu, serve as the recommender.

This can not only convince the public, ensure sufficient fairness, but also ensure that a large number of Confucian scholars are recommended to the court and become officials.

However, this is equivalent to depriving the lords of the gate lord of the right to recommend, how can they bear it.

Immediately, an official jumped out and retorted, "Hmph, Zhongzheng? Can you avoid giving and receiving privately? Not necessarily.

A great Confucian like Master Kong also recommended his two personal disciples! Even Master Kong can't be Zhongzheng, who can talk about Zhongzheng?! ”

"The two disciples recommended by Master Kong, Dong Xianliang and Chao Fangzheng, both of them are not scholars, but ordinary Confucian students, but they are second and fourth in this year's high school palace examination, which shows that Master Kong is the person who recommends talents. Virtuous people don't shy away from relatives, except for Master Kong, who can do it?!

However, the remaining 2,000 stone officials and marquis are 'one person per year', and their sons are all mediocre people, which is favoring the wealthy families. How can a family from a poor family in the world come out?! ”

The imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the ministers of the Prime Minister's Mansion were excited and scolded each other.

The military attachés of the Taiwei Mansion were extremely silent.

Tai Lieutenant Li Rong did not speak, and rarely expressed his opinions except for military affairs. The rest of the military attachés naturally did not dare to speak at will.

Chu Tianxiu stood in the court, having the heart to devote himself to this fierce battle, but he had no chance, and he panicked in his heart.

Why doesn't anyone ask me for my opinion?

I'm the first in the palace exam!

When I'm a little dusk, I'm like a transparent person, alas~!

This factional dispute in the court is so cruel, he was criticized as a target before, but now he is simply ignored, and he is a little transparent.
