"King Qiqi, I have secretly tested a lot of people and students of Xiangyang Academy, and they are all very supportive of the king's reform!"

Lu Tianba's voice was very soft, but his words were very heavy.

The public opinion he said was what Xu Tian was most concerned about.

Pity.

In the eyes of Zhuge Liang and Shen Du, these things are not reasons that can be used to change.

"King, everything follows the will of the people, this truth is true, but this matter is different!" Zhuge Liang immediately clenched his fists and said.

"What's the difference?" Lu Tianba asked with a frown.

He was the one who had followed Xu Tian from the beginning, and as for what he was thinking, he couldn't have understood it all too well.

It can be said that Lu Tianba is Xu Tian's most loyal follower, and there is no one.

"Isn't that easy? The nobles monopolized the career of the people and cut off the path of promotion for the common people, and of course they would approve of this practice.

Therefore, if this matter is from the position of the people, it will be unfair! ”

When it comes to debate, I'm afraid there are few people who are Zhuge Liang's opponents.

After listening to his words, Shen Du was silent for a long time without speaking.

Regarding Zhuge Liang's words, he didn't know how to refute them.

Thereupon.

He looked at Xu Tian for help.

In his opinion, only Xu Tian is Zhuge Liang's opponent.

Even if he is not an opponent, he can decide this matter.

"It is precisely because the scholars have cut off the way of the people that I want to change all this!"

Xu Tian didn't have any mood swings because of this.

In his opinion, he has an absolute advantage in this debate.

Furthermore, anger is a sign of weakness.

"Just like Kong Ming, if you don't have any identity background now, but you have the talent of heaven and earth!

However, because of your identity, you can't play your blood, and your revenge can't be realized, do you still think it's fair? ”

Countless times it has been proven that only when things are asked to oneself can you figure it out!

Just like now, after Xu Tian's words were finished, Zhuge Liang stopped talking.

Oh, yes.

If you have everything and want to realize your ambitions, but you can't achieve all this because of your identity, it's too unfair!

"King, I have no opinion on this matter!"

After a while, Shen Du and Zhuge Liang said almost at the same time.

They were already skeptical of their own opinions, and the reason why they opposed them so strongly was only because they were afraid that Xiangyang would be in chaos.

Now since Xu Tian insisted on doing so, and they didn't have any objection to Xu Tian's words, they could only listen.

"Then let's do it...."

This was the first time that such a heavy conversation had been between them, and the two of them regretted it in hindsight, but the incident had already happened, and that was the only way.

But what they didn't know was that Xu Tian was like that because he thought of other problems.

Zhuge Liang and Shen Du can be said to be the closest people to him, and they already have this attitude towards the imperial examination.

Perhaps, once this matter is implemented, it will really be met with a huge backlash.

Thereupon.

After that, Xu Tian adjusted the policy, and the imperial examination policy was first only implemented in Xiangyang!

.....

When Zhang Zhao wanted to return to Jiangdong this time, it was different from any other time.

Sun Quan went directly from being "seriously ill" and miraculously got better.

Because they kept it too strict this time, when Sun Quan appeared, many people were shocked!

Fortunately, the rebel forces in various places have been completely suppressed.

Sun Quan personally went to the dock and waited for Zhang Zhao for two hours.

During this time, he had been standing on the pier, looking at the calm river and not knowing what he was thinking.

There have been so many recent events, and Koto's power has plummeted, and its finances are on the verge of collapse.

It can be described as a broken muscle, and it cannot be fully recovered in a short time.

Although the cost is large, the harvest is unimaginable.

Today's Jiangdong can be said to be under the complete control of Sun Quan.

The people who are left after the purge are the ones who can stand the test.

As long as they are given time, Jiangdong will definitely be a terrifying existence after that.

"It takes time...."After a long time, Sun Quan looked at the calm river and sighed and muttered to himself.

Not much.

On the river in the distance, the shadow of a small boat gradually appeared.

As the boat approached, Sun Quan's expression began to change.

After waiting for so long, I finally waited for Zhang Zhao to come back.

"The king...."When he saw Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao was in tears.

Of course, he understood why Sun Quan was here.

"Elder Zhang has worked hard...."Sun Quan took Zhang Zhao's hand and smiled slightly.

From the moment Zhang Zhao's boat appeared, Sun Quan knew that this time they had succeeded.

"The old minister lived up to the king's trust and completed this task!" Zhang Zhao knelt directly in front of Sun Quan.

This time, the pressure on him was greater than ever.

Especially when Xu Tian could humiliate them, even the servants couldn't bear it, let alone him?

Fortunately.

Zhang Zhao's psychological endurance is much stronger than that of ordinary people, otherwise he may not be able to come back without Xu Tian doing it this time.

"Okay!" Sun Quan is also very happy, as long as they have time, it is equivalent to having everything.

Just as Sun Quan was about to take Zhang Zhao back, Zhang Zhao suddenly grabbed Sun Quan.

"King, this time when the old minister left, he heard a message!"

Sun Quan's footsteps paused and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Zhao.

It was clear from his nervous look that something big must be happening.

"What's the matter?"

"The king of Chu wants to reform a policy in Xiangyang, called the imperial examination!"

"Imperial examinations?" Sun Quan frowned, looking at the other party very suspiciously.

This term is unheard of.

And, even from the literal level, I can't see any deep meaning in this.

"Do you understand what that means?" After a moment, Sun Quan asked again.

If Zhang Zhao didn't even know what this meant, then this news would not even have any effect.

"To put it simply, it is to break the monopoly of the scholar clan and let ordinary people enter the court!"

"What?" Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and his expression was full of surprise.

The news was so good for him, it not only gave him time, but if he prepared well, he might be able to get more.

At this moment, Sun Quan was like a gambler who had lost miserably, and suddenly saw the hope that he could return to his roots, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

"Let's go, go back!" Sun Quan pulled Zhang Zhao and walked back.

He must not let this news leak out and ruin his big deal!

was pulled by Sun Quan to walk quickly, and Zhang Zhao almost couldn't keep up with his pace.

He had never seen Sun Quan like this, and although he didn't know what this news meant to Sun Quan, he was content as long as he saw Sun Quan like this....
