"The grand cause depicted by His Majesty, the old minister admired, at first glance, his heart was surging, and he was fascinated, but what Master Ma said was also reasonable, and the cost was so huge, but he didn't know what the effect was, and the minister couldn't help but be frightened."

Fang Bao was careful, and the tone of Ma Qi's speech was a little impulsive, and he couldn't help but worry that Hongqing would be angry, so he hurriedly followed the words to relieve himself, although the words were said gently, but the meaning was actually not much different from Ma Qi.

"Well, the two Aiqing's concerns are indeed not unreasonable, however, I think that although the cost is huge, it is worth a thousand dollars, educating the world, opening up the wisdom of the people is the foundation of a strong country, even if the cost is huge, I will not hesitate, even if I tighten my belt, I am willing, no matter how poor I am, I can't be poor in education, as for the effect, I think that it is more than a hundred times stronger than today's imperial examination, Qing and others look at the military academy to replace the martial arts, you can know the roots."

Regarding Ma and Fang's worries, Hongqing could understand them, and he would not be angry because of this, but explained with a smile.

"His Majesty is Shengming, the ministers and other sincerely admire, but the old ministers still have two doubts, one is whether the timing of the implementation is appropriate, now, His Majesty's new policy has several cases, all of which are still being implemented, and all the departments of the court are already in full operation, if the imperial examination reform is carried out again, I am afraid that there will be negligence, once it causes chaos in the government and the opposition, good things are also likely to become bad; Second, according to His Majesty's words, the war with the Six Western Barbarians is imminent, military spending will inevitably increase sharply, and it is good to win quickly. ”

Zhang Tingyu was obviously not very optimistic about Hongqing's large-scale innovation, but he did not explicitly oppose it, but cautiously raised two questions.

"Hengchen is very worried, although I have long had the intention to innovate the imperial examination, but I dare not move lightly, what I am worried about is nothing more than the timing, according to my original intention, I originally planned to do this after the victory over the six countries, but the fourth uncle is anxious, but I am not allowed to be idle, hey, if I expect it to be good, Wang Siqi is just a pioneer, and then there is a lot of trouble, it is estimated that the gang of Eight Banners will never be idle, as soon as the matter is big, even if I want to force it, I am afraid that it is not easy to suppress it, even so, it is not a safe way to follow the trend, left and right is just the first pilot reform, no matter the cost of silver or scale, are in the controllable range, but there is no risk of loss. ”

Everyone present is trustworthy, Hongqing will not hide too much, and he will calmly say what he thinks.

"Your Majesty."

Hongqing has already said such a thing, and it is clear that he has made up his mind, obviously, even if he persuades again, he will definitely make Hongqing change his mind, even so, the ministers of military aircraft will no longer talk more, and they all praise the matter.

"Today's talk is limited to this, don't spread the word, I will hurry up to draw up a preliminary charter in the next few days, how to implement it, and wait for the charter to come out and then discuss it with Qing and other good students, it's not too early, and the secretary and others will be busy first, as for Wang Siqi's excerpt, I will leave it in the middle and not send it."

Although all the ministers of military aircraft were unanimously praised, Hongqing knew that everyone still had doubts in their hearts, but it was not good to give advice at this time, but Hongqing didn't care, it was impossible to expect to make great progress at the beginning, and it was impossible to convince all the ministers at the beginning, however, Hongqing was confident that he would convince everyone when he came up with the specific regulations, as for this time, Hongqing didn't want to be long-winded, so he just gave a few words of advice, and sent everyone away... …

Ten days passed quickly, as Hongqing expected, although Wang Siqi's excerpt was left in the middle of the hair, but the content of this chapter was quickly spread in the Beijing Division, under the promotion of people with a heart, the heated discussion between the government and the opposition suddenly started, there are supporters, there are opponents, generally speaking, the children of the Eight Banners are in favor of the majority of the reformers, and those Confucian children, but most of them are opposed, so there are many people who say things, but Hongqing is ignored, No matter what kind of opinions this chapter is, it will not be published in one piece, and this ambiguous attitude will undoubtedly fuel the wind of controversy between the government and the opposition, and in the end, the two sides will actually start a fierce war of words in the "Jingshi Times", and there is no doubt that with the publication of the "Jingshi Times", a large-scale controversy has also been set off throughout the country, and at such a point, even if the imperial court comes forward to suppress it, it is difficult to forcibly suppress such a large-scale controversy, unless the imperial court can come up with a result that satisfies all parties.

Obviously, as soon as such a sudden imperial examination storm came out, the governors of the provinces were unexpected, and they inevitably all messed up, and they all went to the imperial court to complain urgently, asking the imperial court to come up with a feasible charter for the reform of the imperial examination, and all the ministers in the court are also on this chapter, and what follows is naturally a huge pressure, if you change someone to become the emperor, encountering such an emergency, it is bound to be out of proportion, but Hongqing is good, nearly a month has passed, I was stunned that I never came out to explain this matter, and even when the court was meeting, I never asked the ministers to discuss it, and in such a situation, all the ministers were at a loss, and they couldn't help but be worried.

Didn't you do anything? Of course not, for nearly a month, Hongqing has been exchanging views with the ministers of military aircraft on the reform of the imperial examination almost every day, and the reform regulations that have been rushed out for a few days have been changed several times, and they are busy until late at night every day, no way, as an emperor, there are too many government affairs to deal with, and it is impossible to devote all their energy to the reform of the imperial examination. Fortunately, the hard work was not in vain, and with the assistance of Zhang Tingyu and others, a relatively complete imperial examination reform charter was finally completed, but another question arose - who should be handed over to implement it?

Although there are many trustworthy ministers in the DPRK, there are not many people who are qualified to lead the reform of the imperial examination, and several military ministers are already operating at full capacity, and it is obviously not appropriate to add a burden to them, as for Liu Chengen and a large number of Hongqing's original descendants, whether in terms of qualifications or ability, they are obviously not enough to cope with such heavy changes, besides, there are still four masters staring at the sidelines, once a little bit worse, the DPRK and China will inevitably have another big storm, obviously, The circle of such a personal choice must be careful and careful, and in this regard, Hongqing knew it very well in his heart, and after thinking about it for a few days, he finally made a final decision.

"Wechen knocks to see His Majesty!"

Xiao Xuanwu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, entered the Yang Xin Palace, and immediately keenly noticed that something was wrong, no side, in the huge hall, there was not even a eunuch who accompanied him, only Hongqing sat on the dragon bed at the top, this is obviously a pattern of making knees dense, and he couldn't help but panic slightly, but fortunately, he had no luck in cultivating his strength, but he never showed a very flustered look, and hurriedly rushed to the front of the palace.

"Excuse me."

Facing Xiao Xuanwu's gift, Hongqing didn't say anything, just called out in a calm voice.

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Hearing Hongqing's tone very indifferently, Xiao Xuanwu not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but was a little more worried, no side, after so many years of getting along, Xiao Xuanwu knows what kind of person his eldest brother is, the more peaceful he is, the more important the things to talk about, Xiao Xuanwu can't help but worry about it, that is, the city is deep enough, so he has never lost his temper, and after thanking him, he got up, stood with his hands down, and made a well-behaved appearance of listening to the instructions.

"Luoshan (Xiao Xuanwu's character) still remember what I said when I was in the middle of Tanhua?"

Hongqing is a shrewd individual, even if Xiao Xuanwu hides it well, he can see through the tension in Xiao Xuanwu's heart at a glance, but he didn't care much about it, and he never cut to the chase directly, but asked a question like a family.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, your instructions, Wechen never dare or forget, then, the Holy Lord has taught Wechen to be down-to-earth, and the minister has always kept it in mind."

Xiao Xuanwu can be admitted to Tanhua, naturally he is not an idle person, his memory is really good, and as soon as Hongqing's voice fell, he already gave the answer without thinking.

"Well, Aiqing's political achievements over the years, I have always seen it in my eyes, the word 'down-to-earth' is the best evaluation of you, however, the purpose of down-to-earth is not to step on the ground, but to rise to the top, I called you to come this time, just for one thing, this charter you read it first and then discussed."

Hongqing was very satisfied with Xiao Xuanwu's attitude, and after praising him a few words, he didn't say any more, picked up a fold on the table, and threw it to Xiao Xuanwu casually.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if he can do it according to this charter, it should be difficult to select talents for the country, and the minister thinks it is feasible."

Although Xiao Xuanwu is also a disciple of Confucianism, he is not the kind of person who waits to read and reads dead books, but a person who really has the talent of the world, and has been trained in the local area for many years, and his ability to govern is extremely strong.

"Well, in that case, I will leave this matter to you, do you dare to do it?"

Hongqing did not comment on Xiao Xuanwu's statement, but just said noncommittally, and then put such a heavy burden on Xiao Xuanwu's shoulders, which made Xiao Xuanwu suddenly taken aback.
