Chapter 52

Although this system also has many negative aspects, for example, in terms of fairness, the children of ordinary people in the Ming Kingdom may still be poor, and the educational environment and conditions are far inferior to those of wealthy families because of poverty; For example, various officials take advantage of the convenience of their power to give each other's relatives and clansmen the green light.

However, this kind of appointing students according to their aptitude is far superior to the imperial examination, at least, after entering their posts, every student will not lead an expert because he does not understand it.

Just as according to the regulations, the officials of the Criminal Department are completely selected from the two disciplines of Ming Law and Justice, at least the students of these two subjects will not even know the laws of the Ming State when they enter the Criminal Department.

And this change in the official selection system also greatly changed the political pattern of the Ming State, and the balance of power was balanced again after it was broken.

After the initial confusion of the original aristocratic and wealthy forces, they found that they could still be ahead of the children of ordinary poor people and carve up most of the power of the country, so they changed from opposition, at least resistance, to support.

Because of this selection system, ordinary poor people have a way out to change their fate, although it is more difficult, but at least there is hope, so they support it more firmly.

A small number of aristocratic and wealthy families who were deprived of their direct benefits, even if they were opposed, had already been silently wiped out during the time when the Ming army was fighting abroad in the past few years.

For Baili Wuji, who controls absolute power, these people are like fleas, and swatting them to death is the most direct and effective method.

The government is a compromise in itself, and it is not only dirty but also bloody.

If the minority opposes the majority, it doesn't matter if the minority holds the truth or not. Their fate was absolutely tragic.

It's not about right or wrong, it's not about morality.

The world is made up of people, and the number of people determines what is "truth".

"The truth is in the hands of a few". This sentence is, can the "truth" grasped by a few people be called the truth?

In the Ming court, this group of new force officials below the third grade is undoubtedly a staunch supporter of Baili Wuji.

When Feng Dao's faction couldn't support it, he extended a hand to Xu Shiming for help.

Xu Shiming did not catch Feng Dao's request for help, he chose neutrality, but he had already sensed this wave of disputes between the two factions caused by political differences, and he even sensed the dark waves of the surging torrent.

Xu Shiming also did not want to openly confront these officials.

It's not that you don't dare It's unwilling.

Xu Shiming, as the most qualified first-class minister of the Ming Kingdom, his relationship with Baili Wuji can be said to be incomparable.

As a minister who is also a teacher and friend, Xu Shiming knows it well. The purpose of Baili Wuji's support for this new generation of officials.

The emperor has entered middle age, and the men who followed him at the beginning are already old.

The court of the Ming Kingdom ushered in a period of replacement of the old and the new.

Whether it is right or not, Baili Wuji will never stand on the side of the old ministers again, what he needs is to cultivate a new generation of courtiers. to take over the position of his own group of old ministers.

If the old minister is right. Then it's time to motivate and whip the new ministers.

If the old minister is wrong, then it will become a stepping stone for the new minister to advance.

Xu Shiming is undoubtedly melancholy in his heart, but he can understand Baili Wuji's heart.

Since Sun Guangxian suddenly left the west, Baili Wuji has significantly accelerated the speed of promoting newcomers.

Xu Shiming knew that maybe after solving all the affairs of Dali, it would be time for him to retire to the field and retire to his old age.

For this reason, he had persuaded Feng Dao more than once. Self-cultivation.

Feng Dao has gone through five dynasties and eleven monarchs, and he is already a smooth person. How could you not understand what Xu Shiming meant.

He has been a man with his tail between his legs since he took the initiative to belong to Baili Wuji, but after concurrently serving as the commander of Jinling Academy, his mind began to come alive.

All the students in the academy said that they were protégés of the Son of Heaven, but they were not his students of Feng Dao.

Although Feng Dao did not have the intention of forming a party for personal gain, in fact, he was already surrounded by a considerable number of people, and Feng Dao still couldn't extricate himself from falling into this kind of partisan pattern after all.

And this situation was naturally reported by Xu Shouren to Baili Wuji.

Baili Wuji did not take immediate action because he was not in a hurry.

Baili Wuji actually doesn't know Feng Dao very well, Feng Dao from Guo Wei Dynasty when Liu Zhiyuan established the Zhou Dynasty in the Later Han Dynasty, defected to Baili Wuji, belonging to the kind of halfway boat, given that he had been served by the four dynasties and ten monarchs at that time, with this experience, and furthermore, there were many scholars and literati who defected to the Ming Kingdom at that time, and Baili Wuji would directly put him in the position of prime minister.

Baili Wuji didn't think that Feng Dao would have the idea of rebellion, he thought that if Feng Dao wanted to rebel, when he fell into the Western Regions, Feng Dao could completely conspire with Wu Zhaoyi and others to rebel, in that way, not only would the chance of success be much greater, but also the danger would be much lower than now.

The current Ming Kingdom, the prestige of Baili Wuji has reached its peak, not only the words are constitutional, but even in the government and the opposition, if someone dares to openly say a bad word about Baili Wuji, they will be spontaneously beaten half to death by the people of the Ming Kingdom, and twisted to the official.

In this climate of public opinion, it is self-defeating to think otherwise.

Therefore, Baili Wuji did not move, he hoped that Feng Dao could introspect himself and correct it in time.

Forming a party, even if it is not selfish, is also feared by emperors in all dynasties, and Baili Wuji is no exception.

It's a pity that Feng Dao can't extricate himself at this time, too many people are clinging to him, sharing honor and disgrace, and he can't cut off his arm.

And now he is being pointed at by his own students, which makes it really difficult for Feng Dao to step down, and the most important thing is that these officials who are clinging to him have already confronted those new officials.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, not to mention that those new officials are not trees that want to be quiet, but a group of young people with strong blood.

Feng Dao has been the title of "tumbler" for decades, after all, because of his face, he has been clean and self-conscious for most of his life, and he is not guaranteed in his later years.

Because he's on the wrong side.

Above the court, standing in the wrong line means failure, and this failure is related to character, morality and concern.

It's just about power.

Once you stand on the wrong team, you will lose your official position and be dismissed, or you will be imprisoned, and you may even lose your head.

Feng Dao knew, he always knew, but there were some things that he couldn't control.

Because, it's about profit.

The interests and lives of hundreds of officials from all walks of life, large and small, under his Feng family.

Duan Foyin was keenly aware of the direction of the Ming Dynasty's government and the opposition, but she did the opposite and bet her treasure on Feng Dao.

But Duan Foyin obviously didn't take into account that the fire she added had forced Feng Dao into a predicament.

Duan Foyin took Duan Susu out of the post house and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion - Feng's Mansion.

Her goal is to choose a backer for herself, and in the right sense of the word, a collaborator. (To be continued......)
