"Go on!"

Wu Zetian said coldly, wanting to hear what Wu Ning had to say, and the hearts of several other people in the hall also raised their throats.

Except for Li Xian, he didn't know anything about it, and the rest of the people all knew that Mrs. Wu was suspicious of Wu Ning.

At this time, it is best to be cautious in words and deeds.

Everyone really can't figure it out, why does Wu Ning want to provoke the old lady here?

In fact, the reason for not killing the family, there is no need for Wu Ning to say, the reasons for not killing and killing are all on the table.

The old lady wants to kill the family to control the imperial power, which is beneficial to Wu Zetian.

But if you don't kill the family, it's to prevent Da Zhou from hurting his vitality, which is beneficial to the world.

It's that simple.

Think about it, half of the court officials, tens of thousands of family disciples, plus the impact on the people's livelihood in Shandong as mentioned earlier.

Such a big harm, no emperor, any courtier, would dare to do this.

It's a pity that it is Wu Zetian who is in charge of the world, and she chose the former, this is where the old lady is ruthless.

However, now that Wu Zetian asked Wu Ning to continue, then Wu Laojiu would repeat these again?

Does it work?

Obviously it doesn't work.

In fact, Wu Ning didn't intend to say this at all.

Wu Zetian asked him to continue, not to let him talk nonsense. The old lady's meaning was very clear, and let him say the method directly.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Ning raised his head, "The ancients had a cloud: there are no courtiers who bring chaos, only systems that bring chaos. ”

"The rebellion of the family, in the final analysis, is not that hundreds of thousands of children of the family threatened the Great Zhou, but that the system that has been passed down through the ages has created the family."

"Your Majesty, what if you kill the family cleanly today? Sooner or later, there will be a new family taking advantage of the system to rise again. Isn't it? ”

......

“......”

“......”

“......”

As soon as Wu Ning spoke, the people in the hall looked at each other and were silent. The look of astonishment was even more beyond words.

held back for a long time, but in the end, Wu Zetian couldn't hold back and asked, "Which ancient person said that?" ”

Ahem! Wu Ning almost choked.

Which ancient person doesn't matter, right? It's the content that matters.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Ning avoided answering and changed his tone, "It's useless to strangle everything, if you want to solve the problem from the root, you must start from the system." ”

"System?" Old Lady Wu really didn't bother anymore.

It doesn't matter which ancient person said it, and don't care if you say it or not, if you think about it, that's really the truth.

The emergence of the family is indeed caused by the system, that is, the official election system that began in the Wei and Jin dynasties - the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System"

So what is the Jiupin Zhongzheng system?

To put it simply, the imperial court selects a high-ranking official in the court and a highly respected celebrity in each state and county to appoint him as the "Great Zhongzheng".

Then the big Zhongzheng from the state, choose a person of high moral standing who is slightly worse than himself, and appoint him as a "small Zhongzheng".

As a result, the states and counties have large and small zhongzheng.

So what is the big and small for? These two people have one task: to select talents from the state and recommend them to the imperial court.

They have something similar to a "talent questionnaire" in their hands, and they examine the four young people who have ideals, morality, education, and order in the territory under their jurisdiction, and place them in the form as nine grades.

They are: upper, upper, upper, upper, middle, middle, lower, lower, etc.

Then, the list of the ninth rank was submitted to the Ministry of Officials. The officials can directly send officials according to their ranks.

Got it?

This is the "Nine Products Zhongzheng System".

With just a few words, everyone should understand how much power the "big and small zhongzheng" have and how many drawbacks there are in this system.

......

The big middle is choosing the small middle school, and the two of them will pick the officials together.

But people are selfish! If my father is a big and upright, then even if he doesn't put my own son in the upper class, at least he has to be among the elected officials, right?

So, the family appeared.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, under the guidance of the imperial power, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system gradually lost its space for existence.

However, it has been multiplied for hundreds of years!

The family no longer needs the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, especially one state and one county, or even several states and counties, as long as they are literate, they are all relatives.

You choose to go, whoever you choose is my family.

There is no need to even elect officials, the seven surnames and ten families are just those prime ministers from the family, those titles obtained, and use these merits to ask the imperial power for a little "grace" of the official title, which is enough to fill half of the court.

Therefore, if Wu Zetian wants to kill all of them and destroy the seven surnames and ten families, then these problems will not exist.

It's painful, but it's worth it in the long run.

But now, Mu Zijiu said that he couldn't kill him, and what system did he say......

Of course, the old lady knows that there is something wrong with the system, but how to change it? How to change?

"System? Easier said than done!? Do you still have a way to restructure!? ”

Wu Zetian really doesn't believe it, there are so many capable ministers in the court, and they think about how to reform every day without success, can you still make something fresh?

“......”

All right!

"Back to Your Majesty!" Wu Laojiu bent over, "Weichen...... There really is. ”

"Huh!?" Wu Zetian was shocked.

You have? Did you have you didn't say it earlier!?

"Go on!"

"As far as the official system is concerned, it is actually very simple, abolish the recommendation system, tighten the grace and shade, and carry out the imperial examination."

"If you don't recommend it, you will be less enyin, and it will block the passage for the family to rise."

"The imperial examination is a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, whether it is a talent or not, and the scientific field will go through it."

"Fair, and hassle-free!"

“......”

Wu Zetian was silent.

"Will it work?" The old lady was a little unsure.

The current Great Zhou, including the Tang Dynasty, is still mainly based on recommendation, supplemented by grace.

After all, at this time, knowledge is still in the hands of a few. In the hands of a handful of families, to be precise. It is not unreasonable for an uncle to recommend a nephew, or for a son to inherit his father's business.

Therefore, it is more efficient to recommend and favor.

As for the imperial examinations......

The imperial examination is a disguise, and it is impossible to supply such a large number of people in the imperial court by relying on the imperial examination alone.

This is also the reason why Wu Zetian would rather kill the family and make the world chaotic, rather than thinking about the imperial examination.

In her cognition, the children of the poor families are a minority after all, and the imperial examination cannot be promoted.

I have to say that this is the limitation of the times.

If any of the emperors of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties were replaced, Wu Zetian would have to be a fool and underestimate the "determination to be an official" of the people in the world.

As everyone knows, in the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were only a few hundred talents who entered the government from the imperial examination. But when it comes to the Great Song Dynasty, hehe, hundreds of people? It is not for nothing that more than 1,000 people are hired in one subject.

The thing that Wu Zetian was worried about did not exist at all.

In fact, what is the difference between what she is doing now and Huang Chao? They all killed the family cleanly.

The difference is that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Zhao family was not allowed to do it.

At that time, there were no more families, and literati families were even rarer. There is one in the court who is considered to be an explosive household, and there is nothing to recommend or favor.

Therefore, the Zhao family could only passively tighten the channels for recommending and favoring officials, and instead vigorously developed the imperial examination.

And Wu Zetian now has a choice.

In fact, under the influence of Wu Ning, the old lady had already taken the initiative to embark on the path of the Northern Song Dynasty.

You see, abolishing the fang market and vigorously promoting commerce, is this the general direction of the Song Dynasty?

If she is relevant, she will be closer to the two songs.

And!!

And a very important point is that Datang will not emphasize literature and light martial arts, and Datang still has a Yanyun barrier. Not only is there a Yanyun barrier, but almost the entire Asian state is the back garden of Datang.

It's... It's a bit invincible.

What Mrs. Wu lacks now is a little bit of vision, this is a limitation of history, and this Wu Ning can help her make up for it.

"Your Majesty.... Is Your Majesty worried that the imperial examination is not up to the task of selecting officials? ”

Wu Zetian raised his head, "Zijiu, there are still too few scholars from the cold family." ”

"Your Majesty is right." Wu Ning nodded, "However, since the way of the imperial examination is a fair selection, why does it have to be a poor man?" Is it not the same that the children of 100,000 families can become officials in the court through the imperial examination? ”

"Huh?" Wu Zetian frowned, "That family will definitely be rekindled!" ”

"The system has changed!" Wu Ning said slowly, "The authority to elect officials is in the hands of His Majesty, not the patriarch of the family. ”

"Besides, this raid on the family, the vitality of the family has been greatly damaged, and the imperial examination under the control of His Majesty will not be able to turn over."

"But the difference is that Your Majesty copied the family's home, but still used their 100,000 literati, why not?"

“......”

That's right, too! Wu Zetian was a little tempted, she was originally an unobstinate person.

On the contrary, the old lady married to power in this life and also succumbed to it. As long as it is beneficial to power, Mrs. Wu has never been principled.

It's as if she can enter the palace for her dreams, and she can endure waiting for opportunities in the temple.

You can curry favor with the Guanlongmen valve in order to get on top, or you can set up seven surnames and ten families in order to crack down on the Guanlongmen valve.

It is even possible to develop cool officials in order to crack down on seven surnames and ten families, why can't the family be released for other purposes now?

glanced at Wu Ning, and there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, "That commoner scholar still doesn't have an advantage over the disciples of the family, isn't the court still their world?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Wu Ning smiled indifferently, "Weichen has a question to ask Your Majesty." ”

"Say!"

"Your Majesty thinks that killing 100,000 literati and half of the court officials is a big burden on the Great Zhou, or is it a greater burden on hundreds of government-run academies?"

“......”

“！！！！”

Wu Zetian was shocked again!!

yes, this kid is terrible!

If you are worried that the disciples of the imperial examination family are dominant, then build a academy! Specializing in teaching the children of the poor.

Even if academies are paved in all states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be affordable for the imperial court!

At this time, Wu Ning's voice came at the right time:

"As long as Your Majesty dares to let go of the ascent channel of civilians and dare to give the poor men a chance to compete fairly, the minister promises that within ten years, His Majesty will not be disappointed!"

“......”

Wu Zetian didn't answer, and looked at Wu Ning quietly.

She had already made a decision in her mind at this point. Looking at Wu Ning because ......

It's so similar!

Mrs. Wu said in her heart, it's too similar!

The style of acting is almost exactly the same as that Wu Ning, you never know how many ideas he has, and he will always surprise you.

Moreover, they are all so bad and so nasty!

If it was Wu Ning standing in the audience, he should also come up with this kind of desperate plan that not only allows the family to continue to work hard for the court, but also hides needles in the house and slowly grinds the family to death, right?

So....

Wu Zetian couldn't help but think in his heart, Mu Zijiu ...... Is it Wu Ning!?

"Ziji...."

The old lady said slowly, "You are very much like a person! ”

“！！！”

“！！！”

“！！！”

Everyone's hearts trembled, and Taiping said: "It's here!" ”

Di Renjie also lowered his head, not daring to look at Wu Zetian, let alone Wu Ning, while Shangguan Wan'er was looking at Wu Ning's eyebrows and eyes.

She was also curious that Wu Ning ran a charcoal factory worth 100,000 yuan in half a year, while Mu Zijiu made the Long Road Dart Bureau all over the world in just eight years.

Wu Ning raised his hand and wiped out a group of cool officials, while Mu Zijiu killed the Turks with an understatement, and also took up seven surnames and ten families.

Wu Ning wrote a box of "Awakening the World", and Mu Zijiu offered the official policy in this hall.

If Wu Ning is alive, it will be Mu Zijiu's age......

These are two people? Or is it alone!?

......

"Oh?" I saw that Mu Zijiu was still indifferent, and there were no waves, "Has Your Majesty ever seen someone like Zijiu?" ”

"Yes." Wu Zetian nodded heavily, "Moreover, I miss it very much!" ”

“......”

Wu Ning didn't answer immediately, because his heart had already fluctuated.

Miss?

Wu Zetian actually used the word "miss"!

forcibly stabilized himself, "What can make Your Majesty miss, I think it's a strange person, right?" ”

......

Wu Zetian kept staring at Wu Ning's expression, but she was disappointed, on the surface, the sentence "missing" did not make Mu Zijiu hesitate.

I had to say: "It is indeed a strange person!" ”

The old lady leaned back in the dragon chair, "It's been nine years......"

"I first heard that kid named Wu Ning, he was only fifteen years old."

"But it's just a fifteen-year-old doll, and in just a few words, I have solved the dilemma that I have been unable to solve."

"Oh??" Mu Zijiu raised his eyebrows, "Then he's so bold!" ”

"Yes!" Wu Zetian smiled, "The courage is indeed not small!" ”

"Like you, if you dare to show off in front of me, you really don't know whether you live or die."

"Huh." Mu Zijiu laughed again, "Extraordinary people, extraordinary means, aren't they?" ”

"Yes!" Wu Zetian nodded, "Indeed!" ”

Standing up, he pointed at Mu Zijiu, "You are as confident as him!" They are all extraordinary people, and they know that I am reluctant. ”

Mu Zi listened to it and bowed his head slightly, "Your Majesty raises love!" ”

"And then?"

"Later? Later, he had to make an inch, first abolishing my favorite generals, and then giving me a lot of advice. Now the trade and curfew you see from all over the world are all his masterpieces. ”

"But......" The old lady stood up, put her hands behind her back, and got down from her high position.

Pacing in front of Mu Zijiu, "But the more he gets an inch, the more I like him." Do you think it's weird? ”

"Don't blame it!" Mu Zijiu lowered his eyes, "In this world, there are too many ordinary people, and it is not easy to meet an interesting person. ”

"Yes!" Wu Zetian laughed, "That's right!! ”

"Wu Ning, is an interesting person!"

"And you! Much like him, and a funny person! ”

"Really?" Mu Zijiu didn't raise his eyes anymore, "That Weichen is very curious, his ending is good?" ”

"Because that could be the end for me, right?"

“！！！”

“！！！”

Day!

Di Fat Khan came down, and said in his heart: Wu Laojiu, you are crazy!

It's a blessing to be able to deal with the past, but this thing is still playing with fire, which is tantamount to countering Wu Zetian's army.

It's not enough for a heartbeat, is it?

......
