After Chu Tianxiu left the side hall, he went to find Prime Minister Kong Hanyou and Imperial Historian Wang Su, and informed the two of them of the news that he had successfully persuaded the emperor.

Kong Hanyou and Wang Su, the two ministers of the Third Prince, were all in turmoil and a little excited.

The overall situation has been decided, just waiting for the court, and the final one is determined.

Emperor Xiang Yanran and the princes and courtiers finished dinner, drank tea, rested for nearly an hour, and refreshed their spirits.

Go to court again.

It was already night, and the night was quite dark.

In all corners of the Jinluan Palace, the lamps and candles on the candlesticks were lit, and they were ready to stay up all night to discuss a new system for electing officials.

This is the emperor's Gengzi New Deal, the top priority of Da Chu, and it can't be delayed any longer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how are you thinking about it? What do you think about the new system?! ”

Emperor Xiang Yanran, looking down at the ministers, asked.

In the hall, the ministers looked at each other, and they were silent without the three princes taking the lead.

The secret conversation between the Marquis of Xiao Du, Kong Hanyou, Wang Su, and the emperor was actually limited to four or five of them so far, and was not made public to the ministers.

A few of them were afraid that if someone else fiercely opposed the imperial examination system, they would make a fuss, and they would go to great lengths to stir up the matter in advance.

However, despite the high level of secrecy.

The princes and courtiers still saw it with their own eyes, and the Marquis of Xiao Duan secretly discussed with Prime Minister Kong Hanyou and Imperial Doctor Wang Su in the Jinluan Palace, and even went to the side hall to find the emperor, discussing something important in secret.

It is very likely that Xiao Duhou is making a deal out of it, so that the Confucian faction and the gate lord faction can compromise with each other and reach a consensus.

The final decision is still made by the emperor, as well as Kong Hanyou, the leader of the Confucian faction, and Wang Su, the leader of the sect lord's noble faction, and the three of them make up their minds.

If the emperor and the two ministers disagreed, of course the ministers would quarrel and make a lot of trouble.

But if the three of them are unanimous, then the rest of the ministers will at most put forward their opinions, and even if they quarrel, it will not affect the final decision.

At this time, I will see.

Chu Tianxiu immediately presented it with both hands, a fold, and said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a book!"

"The minister has been meditating hard for the past few days and has designed a set of imperial examination systems.

The imperial examination system allows talents from all over the world to self-nominate to participate in the imperial court examination, without the recommendation of the minister, and determines the ranking by an open and fair examination, and decides whether to be admitted as an official by ranking.

There are four rounds of imperial examinations, namely the county examination, the county examination, the national examination and the palace examination.

In each round of examinations, the most outstanding ones are selected, named Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren and Jinshi.

Only those who pass the third round of the national examination can become officials.

The palace examination presided over by the emperor himself, and the admitted jinshi can be conferred on the official.

The details of the imperial examination system are all in the fold, please take a look at the emperor. ”

In addition to the emperor Xiang Yanran, the prime minister Kong Hanyou, who had known the situation for a long time, and the imperial historian Wang Su, their faces were as usual, and they were not surprised.

The rest of the princes and courtiers were all taken aback when they heard this, and they were a little stunned.

Why is it not the Zhongzheng system discussed before?

It's the imperial examination proposed by Xiao Duhou separately!

Imperial examination system?

Bootstrapping?

Allowing talented people from all over the world to nominate themselves to participate in four rounds of exams and become officials?

That's a big change!

The right to recommend princes and ministers has been completely abolished, and even the central officials no longer exist, and they are no longer subject to any restrictions.

Where did the little dusk marquis get his confidence, and the ministers would support him?

"Minister, support the imperial examination system."

Prime Minister Kong Hanyou stepped forward, representing the interests of Confucianism, and said in a deep voice.

The Confucian officials looked at each other, but quickly figured out the key to it, and immediately became happy.

The support of Master Kong must be an excellent plan!

Since the bootstrapping, more than ninety percent of the Confucian students in the world have an absolute advantage. This is a huge benefit to Confucianism all over the world!

There is no longer any need to look forward to the stars, the moon, and wait for high-ranking officials to recommend themselves.

Everyone is in the exam room together, and they compete fairly.

What a wonderful time this was for Confucian scholars!

"Minister, agree!"

Wang Su said.

When the noble officials heard this, they looked at each other, without any joy, full of doubts and worries.

Confucianism supports it, which must be detrimental to the gate valve.

Bootstrapping?

This... Is that good?

The gate lord is a noble man, and he has no privilege to recommend him! I had to take the exam with the Confucian students.

Of course, Wang Su was also full of helplessness.

However, the emperor is determined to promote the new policy, and whoever stops him is unlucky.

Even Prime Minister Xie Huyong has resigned, he will definitely not be able to stop it.

What can he do?

You can't rebel, you can only accept reform!

Zhongzheng system, if Kong Hanyou robs the Zhongzheng official, I am afraid that all the palace exams are Confucianism, then the entire gate lord and noble scholars will be unlucky.

In contrast, the imperial examination system is also an acceptable plan for the gate lords.

At the very least, the scholars can participate.

What if there are many Confucian scholars?

The gate valve, the noble, have enough money, set up the best private school, hire the best gentleman, use the best teaching materials, and invest a lot of money in every scholar.

The well-cultivated gate lord scholars, one beat you dozens of Confucian students.

can go to the last step of the palace test, there are only 100 jinshi, and most of them must be the gate lords and nobles.

If you can grasp the general content of the exam in advance, it will be even more foolproof.

Xiao Duhou is greedy for money, as long as he gives more benefits, he will definitely be able to reveal some of the general direction of the exam in advance.

The most important thing that the gate lord lacks is money.

Wang Su sneered slightly, and said: "The minister suggested that since it is the imperial examination system proposed by the Marquis of Xiao Du, then the Marquis of Xiao Du will be the main examiner and design the content of the examination. ”

It is far easier to make a fuss about the exam than to block the new system.

"Minister, agree!"

Kong Hanyou also said.

This is the price he paid to Xiao Duhou, and naturally he has to fulfill it.

"The ministers seconded it!"

"Minister's support!"

The princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty saw that Kong Hanyou and Wang Su, the two faction leaders, all supported the imperial examination system together.

This must have completed a factional compromise.

They finally recognized the situation, knew that the general trend had been decided, and opposition was no longer possible, and there was no longer any question.

"Okay, since all the secretaries are not opposed, they are unanimous.

The plan for the imperial examination system was passed.

I'm right!

The Marquis of Xiao Duan was the first chief examiner, and was assisted by the Prime Minister's Office and the Imperial Historical Observatory to prepare for many matters of the first imperial examination.

The content of the exam and the details of the initiative are finalized by Xiao Duhou, and the chapter can be reported.

Retreat! ”

Emperor Xiang Yanran said.

At night, the princes and courtiers hurriedly left the palace to find a place to discuss the imperial examination system, or return to their respective mansions to inform their own scholars and prepare for the situation in advance.

After the implementation of the new imperial examination system, it will definitely be a huge change in the officialdom of Dachu, and if you don't keep up with the situation in time, you are likely to be eliminated in the imperial examination.
