Chapter 456: Confrontation
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Shi Yuan himself who pointed out this matter.
Mo Ruan, who had been quietly listening to everything, smiled in his heart, and Shi Yuan's point was exactly what he meant. Anyway, what Shi Yuan said, it won't be easy for people to think that he Mo Ruan worked hard to play chess and created the feeling of such a play.
Seeing that the time had come, Mo Ruan walked to Shi Yuan's side with the wat board in his hand, his posture was extremely high, and he said, "Not bad!" What Prime Minister Shi Cheng said is very true! The emperor, the minister thought that this imperial examination system seemed to recruit talents, so that the revenge among the commoners also had a chance to enter the official career, but in the past two years of practice, it seems that this imperial examination system is clearly a golden and defeated! ”
"Oh? It seems that Prime Minister Mo, you also have something to say? Shen Lun pressed his temple and asked.
During this time, Shen Lun could clearly feel his old age, in addition to the increasingly pale sideburns in the bronze mirror telling him, every day in the morning, it would always make him feel a little more tired, and if something happened for a little longer, he would feel bored and tired.
Therefore, now Shen Lun has few words, there are people in the court, and they are allowed to quarrel over there, as long as they don't quarrel with him, Shen Lun will not dissuade him.
"Back to the emperor, the minister didn't dare to say anything, but he just wanted to express his opinion." Mo Ruan replied, "The minister thinks that since the implementation of the imperial examination system, it is true that the court has recruited a large number of people, but who dares to say that among these people, they are all virtuous people who are beneficial to the imperial court?" ”
Mo Ruan's question, coupled with the fact that Sun Xiaoguan was dismissed for corruption, naturally no one dared to stand up and say, 'I dare to say that this group of people are all virtuous people who are beneficial to the imperial court'. So everyone was silent, and Mo Ruan became even more interested.
"Your Majesty, please see, no one dares to say this with confidence, which means that there is a mixture of fish and dragons in this group of people. This 'dragon' has come in, and we naturally want to welcome it, but when the 'fish' comes in, it will make the entire court into a miasma, won't the gains outweigh the losses? ”
"Having said all this, isn't Prime Minister Mo just criticizing the imperial examination system?" Shen Mi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he retorted, "But please also ask Prime Minister Mo to think about it, how many things have been done by those who came in through the channels of the imperial examination, taking Ji Shangshu as an example?" If these things weren't for Ji Shangshu, who would be able to do the rest of the people? ”
Mo Ruan frowned, "Tsk...... This Ji Shangshu is a 'dragon', the minister naturally has nothing to say, and the minister also said that it is a 'mixed fish and dragon', not all of them are denied. The minister just thinks that a Ji Shangshu wants to support the corruption of so many other people, is it too difficult for Ji Shangshu? ”
"Prime Minister Mo, whether a person is corrupt or has a positive heart, it is all decided by the person himself, what does it have to do with his background?" Ji Wenyu retorted dissatisfied.
There are many officials who have come in this imperial examination, and there are also many achievements who have made achievements, but there seems to be no single amount of arguments with Mo Ruan in court, and only one Ji Wenyu dares to stand up.
It's not that he feels that he has the support of the county lord of Baoying, the little prince and Prime Minister Shi Cheng behind him, it's just that Ji Wenyu is not a 'country people' in the strict sense, his Ji family is also a former family, Ji Wenyu is not a child of a family, but he is also everyone's son, he is already upright in his heart, how can he bear Mo Ruan's partial generalization?
"To put it mildly, the people around Prime Minister Mo ...... There are also many people who have received benefits, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, they shocked the entire court. Everyone sighed in their hearts, how could this Ji Wenyu have such a big courage, dare to say such nonsense, it doesn't sound painful, take a closer look, isn't this just saying that he Mo Ruan bribed others.
"Ahem......" Shen Lun cleared his throat, he saw that the atmosphere in the court was a little embarrassing, so he had to stand up and say, "What Ji Aiqing said in this matter is extremely true, and I don't know it, all Aiqing don't have to be like stepping on thunder." ”
Fortunately, Shen Lun stood on Ji Wenyu's side and said a word, Shen Mi and they breathed a sigh of relief slightly, if Shen Lun didn't say that, Ji Wenyu would definitely be early in Mo Ruan's calculations in the future. And when Shen Lun said this, Ji Wenyu's words seemed painless, and Mo Ruan didn't dare to make any moves against Ji Wenyu.
Seeing that no one was talking, Doctor Zhao had no choice but to step forward and say, "Ahem! What Ji Shangshu said is completely different things! If it weren't for the fact that the country folk had never seen the world and couldn't resist the temptation, how could they lose themselves so easily! So in the final analysis, this matter is still a problem of the imperial examination system. If it weren't for the implementation of the imperial examination, how could our court be so smoky! ”
"If it weren't for the implementation of the imperial examination system, where would there be a group of upright new forces in our imperial court!" Shen Mi said, his eyes stared directly at Doctor Zhao in front of him, as if he was going to stare him through, "Doctor Zhao is an old man in the court, haven't you felt the miasma in the court for so many years?" Should you say that you are old and dizzy, or is it more appropriate to say that you are a 'fan of the authorities'? ”
The implication is that Dr. Zhao had been bribed by Mo Ruan before, and now he still has the face to stand up and accuse others with righteous words.
"You!" Dr. Zhao was stunned and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Okay, all in all, Prime Minister Mo is just thinking about abolishing the imperial examination system?" Shen Lun asked expressionlessly.
He was physically and mentally exhausted, and he had long been too lazy to do Tai Chi with others, so he felt a lot more relaxed when he said it directly.
Mo Ruan paused for a moment before saying, 'Exactly! Please consider it carefully, when there was no imperial examination system in Yuguo in previous years, hasn't it also developed to such a heyday now! ’
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the imperial examination system must never be abolished!" Shen Shu, who had been silent, said, "The imperial examination system has introduced newcomers, and the affairs of the imperial court have been clearly divided up and down in these days, precisely because there are many newcomers entering, if the power is concentrated on one person again as usual, wouldn't it be easy to have the phenomenon of monopoly." ”
What Shi Yuan alluded to was Mo Ruan before, when he was so powerful that he once covered the sky with one hand, I believe that everyone was unwilling to go back to that time.
Shen Lun naturally wouldn't be willing, he poked the table with his finger and said with a smile: "There is no need to discuss this matter, the imperial examination system is a good policy for a hundred years, and it will not be abolished easily." ”
"Your Majesty ......!" Mo Ruan said with a frown.
Shen Xuan kept listening, he thought that the victory was in his hands, but because of Shen Shu's words or two, Shen Lun's mind changed immediately? Just because Shen Shu said 'cannot be abolished', Shen Lun really killed everyone's passion with a stick, and immediately decided not to abolish it?
He gritted his teeth, as if a fire was burning in his heart, "Father! Isn't it because of Shen Shu that you decided not to abolish the damn imperial examination! ”
