Seeing that the little emperor was so resolute, Xu Chongguang knew that he couldn't be dissuaded. Not only could www.biquge.info not only not be dissuaded, but he even had to charge in front of Lu Chengqi and be the scapegoat. He already had a hunch about this, since he got on Lu Chengqi's thief ship, has there been less black cauldron to carry for the little emperor!

While feeling sorry for himself, he heard Lu Chengqi say that the newspaper was under his control, and Xu Chongguang smiled bitterly in his heart: "There are thousands of scholars in the world, and a few newspapers can block the mouths of the people, isn't this a fool's dream!" This also allowed Xu Chongguang to confirm that "Dashun Minbao" was indeed secretly manipulated by the little emperor. Otherwise, a lot of news is not even known to him, the head of the cabinet, how can "Dashun Minbao"

Xu Chongguang didn't know how terrible it was to control public opinion, nor did he understand the power of "Da Shun Min Bao". Under the covert paving of the Supervision Department, the "Dashun Minbao" has long been spread in every prefecture, county and town in Dashun, and has become a part of the daily life of the people of Dashun. The power of habit is powerful, and the fact that Da Shun Min Bao has always reported impartially has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is also a wonder that the credibility of "Dashun Minbao" is even higher than that of the imperial court's newspaper.

It is conceivable that as long as this news is published in the "Da Shun Min Daily" and the key points are clarified, will the world's talented people still make trouble! The people's hearts are not easy to fool, and unconsciously, the means that the showmen relied on to fight back have been easily resolved by Lu Chengqi, so they are so fearless.

The problem is here, Lu Chengqi understands the influence of the newspaper, but Xu Chongguang doesn't understand it! Xu Chongguang's headache is nothing more than the talented people taking the lead in making trouble, and the people who have nothing to do are also involved. These talents are wrapped in public opinion and exert pressure on the imperial court. At that time, political enemies with ulterior motives will take advantage of this matter to jointly impeach Xu Chongguang and force Xu Chongguang to resign from the position of first assistant to the cabinet. Didn't Fan Zhongyan fall like this back then!

Thinking that he was about to follow in the footsteps of his benefactor Fan Zhongyan, Xu Chongguang couldn't help but be disheartened. His ambition was unfulfilled. The ideal of becoming a famous face of a generation is about to be touched. Unexpectedly, this happened, and the dream of becoming a virtuous minister was shattered.

Seeing that Xu Chongguang was unmoved, Lu Chengqi was also puzzled: "What, Xu Qing can't believe me?" I said I would protect you. Naturally, I won't break my word......"

Xu Chongguang smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "At that time, the ministers are angry, what can you do if you are the emperor?" The will of the people cannot be violated, you are the emperor. Naturally, we can't admit mistakes. All the faults are the fault of me, the head of the cabinet. At that time, how will you be able to keep me? ”

Xu Chongguang, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, didn't believe a word about Lu Chengqi's guarantee. What he wants to do most now is to resign. But when things happen suddenly, it will inevitably be criticized by the world. In the future, the scholar made trouble, and the stains on his body could not be washed away. Staying is also death, and leaving is also death, so it's better to see what else the little emperor has for the time being. Xu Chongguang's little abacus crackled, and he didn't even listen to Lu Chengqi's question.

"Still. It's not good to overforce these talents, and it's ...... to give them some compensation" Lu Chengqi saw Xu Chongguang bowing his head and pondering, and he also muttered to himself. A slap and a sweet date are the tricks of the top-level who have tried and tested. Lu Chengqi seemed to have realized this intentionally or unintentionally, and used it inadvertently.

"Xu Qing, how about you say to open Enke again?" Lu Chengqi asked suddenly.

Hearing the word "Enke", Xu Chongguang also shook his heart and blurted out: "Enke? ”

Lu Chengqi nodded. "That's right, Enko. Xu Qing, what do you think, aren't these talented people suspicious of the ten-grade officials. Are they worthless? I want to see if I want to open Enke again, are these talented people fake and high enough to come to the scientific examination, or are they flocking? In this rectification of the rule of officials, I ordered the Supervision Department not to leave any hands. Do what you have to do. If you want to come to the state capital, it is not surprising that you will go to three or four out of ten. Kaienke is to supplement the officials of the ministry. Selecting talents according to demand can be regarded as a relaxation ......"

Xu Chongguang was taken aback: "Your Majesty, if that's the case, wouldn't Enke want to take a thousand people this time?" ”

"Only a thousand? It's too few, I estimate a few thousand. Lu Chengqi said calmly.

Xu Chongguang was even more shocked: "Your Majesty, in this way, wouldn't it be full of soldiers?" ”

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "It's not so exaggerated, those who can enter the tribute test are qualified to be ten rank officials." Those who are in the palace test are still Jinshi. Jinshi can get eight or nine rank officials, but he still needs to start from ten rank officials. Only the champion, Bangyan, Tanhua and B-class six can be awarded from the ninth to the eighth grade. ”

"Kegong tried to raise the son, not under ten thousand people! Besides, since His Majesty ascended the throne, it has been three years and two Enko, and if you do Enke again, is it against the ancestral system? ”

Lu Chengqi doesn't care about the ancestral system, aren't the rules just used to break? Besides, in Dashun, he is the biggest rule, who dares to say more?

"If I could, I would like to take a scientific examination once a year! As for those who participate in the tribute examination, they naturally need to be interviewed. In addition to the lifting of the Jinshi, the interview results will be discharged, and the best will be awarded. Of course, these moves have not been famous, and they still cannot be promoted. You must pass the scientific examination before you can be promoted. However, if you are excellent in handling political affairs, you can be exempted from the tribute test and directly take the palace test when you take the next scientific examination. Let's take the quota to twenty people, I'm afraid that they won't be able to work......" The more Lu Chengqi spoke, the more excited he became, and ideas came out of his mind one after another.

The more Xu Chongguang listened, the more frightened he became, but after thinking about it carefully, Lu Chengqi's idea was not unreasonable. When I was shocked, the ten-grade official system really affected the whole body, not only the promotion path of officials has changed, but even the imperial examination has to change. Coupled with the supervision of the Supervision Department and the performance appraisal of the officials, where is this to rectify the governance of officials, it is clear that the bureaucratic system of Dashun has been sorted out!

Xu Chongguang's mood is like a typhoon with a raging wind, and the waves in his heart are one after another. He had already foreseen how many officials were secretly dissatisfied and ready to sabotage the New Deal. What does the little emperor have to rely on to dare to do this? He has only been in power for three years, and he dares to attack the already entrenched bureaucratic system.

Xu Chongguang was suspicious, with his eyes, how could he not see the turbulent waves hidden behind this? However, he has already boarded the thief ship, and he is in a dilemma, and it is difficult to get down again.

"Since Your Majesty has decided to do so, the old minister has nothing to say. I hope that with the blessing of the first emperor, the new policy can succeed in one fell swoop. The old minister will do his best to assist His Majesty, if he can't do anything, His Majesty does not need to take care of the old minister......"

In Xu Chongguang's words, there was no confidence at all, Lu Chengqi smiled, looked like he was strategizing, and said: "Xu Qing is optimistic, how can I fight a battle that I am not sure of?" ”

Xu Chongguang sighed and said, "Your Majesty is naturally confident that it is a good thing, the cabinet still has something to deal with, and the old minister will retire first." (To be continued.) )
