Chapter 408: A New Elector

"Your Majesty, is this really useful?"

An Mingxun looked at Xiao Yechen very suspiciously, his eyes were full of puzzlement, in the past few days, he listened to Xiao Yechen's orders, and sent out many of his subordinates, spreading among some people, why did he arrest so many people for no reason.

But in his eyes, there is no need to explain to these people at all, and if they explain everything they do to the people, wouldn't it be very tiring?

Hearing An Mingxun's question, Xiao Yechen did not speak, but looked at Du Yan and said, "This matter was proposed by Yan'er, I just went along with it." ”

So Du Yan met An Mingxun's puzzled eyes, she paused, and said in a low voice: "Brother Mingxun doesn't know, although these people don't know the twists and turns, but they are very concerned about their own safety, Xiao Wenqing's spies buried in Beijing are all ordinary people's identities, and the people are naturally panicked when they see that the ordinary people around them have been arrested, and I am trying to explain to them so that they can settle down." In this way, reforms can be implemented. ”

"Speaking of which......" An Mingxun paused slightly, looked at Xiao Yechen and said, "Your Majesty, are you really ready to reform?" At the moment, Xiao Wenqing has not been removed, but I am afraid that he will obstruct it. ”

"What about thwarting it." Xiao Yechen waved his hand, and after meeting An Mingxun's puzzled gaze, he explained: "I have already discussed with Yan'er, and we will not implement large-scale reforms for the time being, but there is no one available in the DPRK and China now, so I want to find some people who can use them." ”

Saying that, he and Du Yan looked at each other and smiled, the two were full of tacit understanding, and everything was silent.

Seeing the cunning appearance of the two of them, An Mingxun secretly mourned in his heart for those families who were calculated by them.

On the second day, a notice was posted outside the Jingzhao Mansion, and the literate people read out all the contents of the notice.

As soon as they heard the above content, many people became excited, and they said loudly: "We can also be officials?" ”

"Where did you get such a big face? You have to read clearly what is written in this notice, only talented people will be appointed, and they will have to be evaluated by the Holy God himself! ”

When some people heard this, they quickly came out and said that they were very dissatisfied with the man's arrogance, and they immediately struck the man.

However, such a blow was obviously not of much use, and when this notice was posted, everyone was surprised, and some of the family's staff even considered it.

For so many years, the state of Chu has always implemented the nine-grade zhongzheng system, although this system of electing officials, although it also considers morality and talent, but there is a lot of water in it, because it is the family that determines the upper, middle and lower grades!

Therefore, even if they are talented, they can only become the staff of the family because of their humble background, which is the best place to go, but today's notice is posted to tell them that as long as they have talent and pass the selection, they can enter the office!

This kind of thing sounds like a fantasy to others, but it is a complaint from Jingzhao Mansion

This is how it was written, and as soon as this notice came out, I don't know how many people couldn't sleep that night.

"Brother Zhang, do you want to give it a try?"

Where the staff of the Yuan family lived, everyone who had already rested couldn't sleep because of this notice, and they all got up and looked at each other, their eyes were eager to try.

"Is this notice real? Today, the head of the family has already said that if we go to participate in this selection, we will be expelled from the Yuan family and will never be hired, is it really worth it? ”

There are timid people who are eager to try, who are accustomed to a comfortable life, and when they hear such a thing, the first thing that comes to mind is not to try, but to escape.

The person who was called Brother Zhang was obviously the leader of it, his eyes were calm, he looked at the many colleagues present, and said in a deep voice: "I must give it a try!" For so many years, I have watched those straw bales with better family backgrounds than me, but inside they are wine bags and rice bags, holding official positions, and I am talented and learned, but I can only give advice to such people! I'm not convinced! Since the emperor has given us this opportunity, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will give it a try! ”

He had obviously been suppressed for a long time, and when he said this, he was loud and loud, causing a thousand waves among the staff.

There are many people who have the same idea as him, but they all have concerns in their hearts, but now after hearing these words, one by one they are full of fighting spirit and respond to the Tao.

At the same time, similar scenes are happening in many places, without exception, they are all going to participate in this selection, they all have ambitions in their hearts, but they are trapped by their family background, and now they can have such an opportunity, which is naturally to be firmly grasped.

On the morning of the second day, some ministers played a series of speeches on this incident.

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable! This is the rule set by our ancestors! How can you change the system of electing officials set by your ancestors so hastily? This is a major event related to the people's livelihood in the world! How can you be so sloppy! ”

"Lord Liu's words are wrong, it is precisely because I consider the people of the world that I made this decision, if it weren't for this, how could I sit down with this decision so quickly?"

Xiao Yechen glanced at Lord Liu with a pair of deep eyes, but he was not angry, but explained: "The Cheng family, the Yuan family, and the Chen family intended to rebel, and after being connected to the nine clans, you see that the ministers in this court are actually half less, if there is no talent, how can this huge world be governed?" ”

After finishing speaking, the faces of the ministers in the court changed again and again, and they couldn't help but guess the meaning of Xiao Yechen's words, was this threatening them? If you are disobedient, you will be like these three?

There was just this speculation in their hearts, and some ministers who originally wanted to speak were suddenly stunned, and they all became turtles with shrunken heads, not daring to speak.

But this Lord Liu is extremely angry, just because early this morning, all the staff in his house left, no matter how coerced and tempted him, no one was willing to stay, even if he relied on these people to give advice on weekdays,

But in his heart, he looked down on these poor children, or civilians.

But after Xiao Yechen's move, he is very likely to go to court with those people he despises, which makes him feel very uncomfortable and unwilling to accept it at all.

So he immediately said: "That being the case, the emperor should follow the ancestral system and follow the ancient system of electing officials to fill these vacancies." ”

"Lord Liu, do you know that these selections are basically wine bags and rice bags? Are they people who have no family background and no real talent? ”

Xiao Yechen looked at Lord Liu, his eyes were dark, and his face showed a little mockery.

After seeing this, Lord Liu was about to refute, but found that this matter was really as Xiao Yechen said, so he was stunned in place, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that Lord Liu was speechless, Xiao Yechen looked at everyone and said, "I chose the officials this time, because the matter was urgent, so I made this decision. ”

"What the emperor said is very true."

Xiao Yechen's attitude is already very obvious, with the lessons of Cheng, Yuan, and Chen, where can anyone dare to refute, so they can only respond one after another, just waiting for the future to make plans.
