Chapter 207: On Hold for the Time Being
"The imperial examination is the foundation of the country, and the family system will only corrode the court, once the ministers become a close network, even you, the emperor, are helpless about this matter."
The family system is very easy to cause officials to protect each other, and each minister has a little intimate relationship with each other, and if it affects the whole body, it is an invisible bomb, which can be blown up at one point, and it cannot be easily touched.
I discussed with Yeyun City in the imperial study for a long time, although I haven't gotten a final result yet, but it can be regarded as a concession in that sense.
It's just that when I got here, I didn't want to listen to what Yeyun City was talking about, and in the end, I drove Yejun City out directly, saying that I wanted to be quiet.
As soon as they came out of the imperial study, more than a dozen ministers immediately rushed up and asked eagerly.
"Lord, what's the situation, does the emperor mean to take back his will?"
Yejun Cheng omitted the details of the conversation process and said simply and clearly.
"Your Majesty said that this matter still needs to be reconsidered, and there is no accurate result yet, but I think it should be withdrawn."
When the minister, who was originally quite enthusiastic, heard this, his face suddenly turned cold, and he even muttered quietly.
"What is this? No, I still haven't agreed, no, I still have to go in and talk to the emperor about it, this family system can't be implemented no matter what. ”
After saying this, he wanted to rush inside, but Yejun Cheng quickly stopped the person and said.
"My lord, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, not to mention that the emperor now has the idea of making concessions, if you go in and force each other, won't all the previous efforts be in vain."
Originally, the other ministers quite agreed with this minister's idea, but when they heard Yejun City say this, they instantly switched sides and followed the persuasion.
"yes, I'm still listening to the regent's intentions and waiting, in case it really pushes people into a hurry, it won't be good."
An old minister who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old also followed suit.
"Such a big person, don't be embarrassed there, just listen to the prince about this matter, fortunately, the emperor seems to want to implement the family system for a while, and we still have room for maneuver."
However, although these people's thoughts about entering the imperial study are now light, they don't look like they are going to go home, and Yejun City is really afraid that they will kneel in a row outside to form a beautiful landscape, and soothe.
"I think it's not too late now, and the families in the adults' mansions should be in a hurry, so please go back to the house to report your safety first."
But I didn't expect these people to say in unison.
"The next morning court has already sent the family in the house back to report the news, and it will be fine."
It's really like the style that these people can do, they used to do it if they wanted to do it in the palace, and they were all old drivers.
But having said that, the Night Monarch City can't really let them stand or kneel in the palace for the night, which is very unfavorable to the relationship between the monarch and the minister.
"It's useless for the ministers to stay here, the emperor doesn't want to see you at all now, it's useless to stay here, and you are doing this invisibly to put pressure on Your Majesty."
"If you are angry and really implement the family system regardless of it, then you are really helpless."
These old ministers were standing outside the imperial study, and Yeyun City looked upset, but seeing them obediently go back under the persuasion of Yejun City, their hearts were even more irritable.
It strengthened the idea in his heart, the handover of power in Yejun City was to see him make a fool of himself, and then act like today, which increased his prestige and aggravated his resentment.
Waiting until the next day, the matter of whether to restore the family system according to the plan was brought up again, this time Yejuncheng took the initiative to say.
"The existing imperial examination system is beneficial to both the country and the people, not to mention that there are neighboring countries eyeing each other, and there is really no need to take too many actions, in case a bad operation leads to social unrest, the negative effects caused by no one can be controlled."
The people of the faction in Night Cloud City wanted to stick to their principles, but unfortunately, they were alone, even if they had a large number of people, it was useless, and they couldn't win against them in Night Monarch City at all.
In the end, Yeyun City really had no choice, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he had to give up.
"Whether to restore the family system is still up for discussion, as Aiqing said, the family system is indeed a great hidden danger, this matter is not well considered, I am very sorry."
Although this matter has come to an end temporarily, Yejun City knows that this matter is not over yet, and this time it will only give up because Yeyun City can't resist it, but in fact, he doesn't want to rest assured at all, and when he finds an opportunity, he will definitely make a comeback.
Not only did Yejun Cheng care about the family system, but Yun Langge was also very worried about staying in the palace, and couldn't help but ask.
"Restore the family system, but what is going on with this matter, will it be implemented?"
As soon as Night Monarch City thought of the unwilling appearance of Night Cloud City in the court, he knew that this matter was not so simple, but he didn't want to show too many negative emotions, so his face was as usual.
"You don't need to worry about this matter, there is nothing else that your husband can't do."
Hearing this, Yun Langge's sad brows could be regarded as stretched, and he smiled.
"I knew that this thing would definitely not work, once this kind of thing is restored, it will definitely do more harm than good, how can anyone not think about it and want to go back."
But after the joy, he continued.
"But this matter really needs to be clarified quickly, and now the people don't know where the rumors came from, saying that the imperial court is now planning to abolish the imperial examination system, but to restore the previous family election system."
"Those big families are fine, but the ordinary people of the people are panicking all day long, and they don't know what to do."
As soon as these words came out, Night Monarch City couldn't help frowning.
"What's going on, the imperial court hasn't issued an official order yet, how can the people get new news?"
Moreover, this matter is very important, and it is absolutely impossible for a minister who knows the matter to talk about this matter.
Thinking of the initiator of the restoration of the family system, Yun Langge couldn't help but guess.
"Do you think this incident is a rumor made up by Yeyun City himself, the purpose is to cause panic in the society, which will lay the foundation for him to restore the family system in the future."
Night Cloud City's abnormal behavior these days, Night Monarch City didn't dare to guarantee whether this matter would be done by him.
It's just that at the same time, he guessed in his heart that if this matter was done by Yeyun City, then what did he want to do with all his desperation, and why did he have to restore the family system?
"In any case, this rumor must be supported as soon as possible, otherwise it will continue to ferment, and no one knows what the final outcome will be."
Yun Langge really hates the Queen Mother and Yeyun City in power, but this gentle and drizzly country has used blood and sweat, even if the lives of countless soldiers have been exchanged, I really don't want the country to become turbulent.
The most benefited from the imperial examination system are the ordinary children of the poor family, and this system greatly weakens the power of the family, and those who go to the bottom have a place to get ahead.
Now that such a rumor has happened, these people must not be able to sit still, after all, once the imperial examination is abolished, all their efforts over the years have been in vain, especially since there are many students who only know how to read the books of sages and sages, and they have no ability to live at all.
Saying this, Yun Rongge took out a letter from his sleeve that had been opened and handed it to Yejun Cheng's hand, motioning for him to open it and take a look.
"I don't know what's going on this year, in the past, the imperial examination has begun at this time, but this year it has not started in various places, because I have not received a notice from the central court, coupled with the rumors circulating in various places, it has caused these people to be panicked, and they must find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible."
Due to the backwardness of the current means of transportation, it will take a lot of time on the road, and logically speaking, the holy decree of the scientific examination should have been sent to various places as early as half a month ago.
Yejun City also wanted to return the government to Yeyun City during this time, and he didn't expect that there would be a big mess at this juncture, so he didn't go to see it, who knew that it would become the current situation.
Seeing this, Yejun Cheng hurriedly took the letter, only to see that all written on it was the current situation in various places at the moment, just as Yun Langge said, although the notice of implementing the family system has not yet gone down, but there have been fluctuations in various places.
Some excited students even held a demonstration at the entrance of the yamen, but because the system has not yet been clarified and the notice has not yet been issued, there are fewer scholars participating in this activity, so it has not attracted the attention of the above.
As long as the science exam has not started yet, the rumors outside are intensifying, and if this matter is caught by someone with a heart, making a big fuss is definitely a particularly distressing thing.
Judging from this incident alone, Yejun City has already seen the potential safety hazards in this, and understands that the family system cannot be implemented no matter what, otherwise not only the court, but the entire country will be in chaos.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say to Yun Langge.
"Fortunately, there are still many ministers in the court who do not belong to the emperor's faction, and the emperor gave up temporarily because he couldn't bear the pressure this morning, and there is still room for maneuver in this matter."
That being said, Yun Langge was still worried.
"This matter can't be too optimistic, after all, he is the king of a country, if he really wants to do something, you can't stop it even if you want to."
Night Monarch City also knows this truth, but the other party is the king of a country no matter what, and if he is in a hurry, these are not good, so he has to say.
"For the time being, I can only persuade like this and try to suppress this matter as much as possible."
