Chapter 52 The Imperial Examination System
Zichen Palace
Qi Hanxuan sat on the dragon chair and watched coldly as the two factions below competed.
This year's imperial examination is the first year since he took the throne, and the system of selecting and promoting officials has been reformed since the day he entered politics.
In order to thank them for their contribution to the Fengling Kingdom, the election system was changed to a bloodline inheritance system, and when the old ministers were old, their descendants would inherit their official positions.
But in this way, it is impossible for all the high-ranking official positions in the DPRK and China to be vacant, and no matter how talented the children of the poor family are, they will not be able to get ahead for the rest of their lives because of their background, and they will become officials in the court, which is simply cutting off their way!
And although the old ministers are extremely capable, their children and grandchildren are not like this, most of them are used to being unscrupulous because of their pampering.
If the DPRK and China were all such officials, they would not have to wait for the enemy country to attack, and the Fengling Kingdom would be destroyed by itself.
From the beginning of the father's handling of the government, there were some corrupt and bribery officials, most of whom were the descendants of those old ministers
Therefore, since he became the emperor, the first thing he did was to abolish the official election system and implement the imperial examination system, so that everyone, whether the descendants of high-ranking officials or the children of poor families, had to participate in the imperial examination, so that they could better screen out talents for the imperial court and select officials with excellent character in order to better benefit the people
However, the DPRK and Chinese officials strongly opposed this matter! Claiming that this is a rule that has been passed down since the time of the first emperor cannot be changed, remembering how arrogant they were at that time, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
They are just for their own official interests, a group of insatiable guys, who want to work for the benefit of their children and grandchildren, it depends on whether they have the ability to enjoy it.
Qi Hanxuan retracted his thoughts and looked down lightly, still arguing.
Shangshu ordered Shangguan Haoyu to shout, "Your Majesty, the imperial examination system is too disadvantageous, and it cannot be continued."
There was a burst of anger in his heart, if the imperial examination system was not abolished, would the descendants of his Shangguan family still have a bright future!
When the emperor succeeded to the throne, he implemented the imperial examination system, but because the first emperor had just gone, he could not implement the new system, so it has been delayed until now
Now that the three years have expired, the imperial examination system has been directly promulgated since the beginning of the year, and now Feng Lingguo's first imperial examination has begun, and he sent someone to see it when the list was released last time, and there is no name of Shangguan Yunxiang, the grandson of the second room, so he doesn't have to think about it.
Could it be that his Shangguan Mansion is really going to decline?
Shangguan Haoyu argued with reason, but he didn't settle down in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind.
As soon as the official Shangshu heard Shang Shuling say this, he was also annoyed, and he picked up the fold and went to the middle and played, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the imperial examination system is very good, whether it is for the children of the poor family or the descendants of high-ranking officials, it can better benefit the country."
After a pause, he turned his head to Shangguan Haoyu and said bluntly, "Shang Shuling's refutation is not to make Sun lack talent and not be on the list?" Said sarcastically.
As soon as he said the words, the officials of the DPRK and China discussed loudly, no wonder Shang Shuling refuted it like this, it turned out to be for the glory of the Shangguan family.
Qi Hanxuan looked at them one by one, and didn't say a word, the official department Shangshu was the person he selected, he was originally from a poor family, and he wanted to seek benefits for the children of the poor family, and he deeply understood how difficult the life of the children of the poor family was.
The scar in his heart was revealed in public, and Shangguan Haoyu was immediately furious, "Don't talk nonsense here"
"How dare Weichen" Shangshu snorted and stood back.
Only Shangguan Haoyu was left standing in the middle, and all the officials in the court and the central government were staring at him, watching the show.
Shang Shuling's faction was also quite disappointed, but they didn't expect Shang Shuling's grandson to not be on the list, which ......
Shangguan Haoyu turned his head, glanced at his own people's expressions, and secretly felt bad in his heart, it seems that there is no way to ask the emperor to abolish this system.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, just let Shangguan family and Yu Han enter the list, even if he doesn't complain, he can't change the fact that he keeps his blood, it's his Shangguan Haoyu's own flesh and blood, he doesn't believe it, Yu Han really doesn't care about everything in Shangguan Mansion at all!
looked at the emperor who was still watching the play, so he had to say "Fengling Country is the emperor's country", indicating that the emperor could do whatever he wanted, he would not ask anymore, and he could not change the system.
With that, he retreated to his place and continued to stand.
Seeing that he had compromised, the officials of the DPRK and China also stopped the dispute and waited quietly for the emperor to speak.
Slowly quieted down, Qi Hanxuan glanced at it, his eyes crossed with sarcasm, Shangguan Haoyu If you want to change the official election system, it also depends on whether you have the ability, is this a compromise?
His eyes crossed a strange light, pursed his lips, looked at the ministers below with firm eyes, and solemnly said, "Zhong Aiqing has no refutation, the imperial examination system has been officially continued since this year, and as long as I am in power, it cannot be changed."
When Shangguan Haoyu heard his words, he was annoyed again, where was there no refutation, they had been arguing about this matter for nearly three years, in the past, he sent them away after he said that he would see it after it was implemented, but now that it has been implemented, what else can they do to force him to change? I had to sulk secretly
The official Shangshu turned his head and glanced at it, and when he saw Shangguan Haoyu's forbearance and grievance, he sneered in his heart, and he didn't look at what kind of virtue his grandson was! Participating in the imperial examination, I can't even write a sentence, I don't know what to ask, I only know how to have fun, and this kind of waste material still wants to enter the court as an official, it's just wishful thinking!
They were all born in a cold family, and they have been studying since they were children, and they have studied hard for ten years, just to enter the court as an official and benefit the people, and fortunately he met such a wise emperor as the emperor, so that he can have today, not like his father back then, with regrets and hatred in his life.
How bitter the children of the poor family are, he knows it, that's how he came back then, and now the emperor wants to implement the imperial examination system, he must be desperately supporting, this is reform!
Because most of the children of the poor family were born, they could only be officials all their lives because of their poor background, which was unfair, and now there is this system to break this unfairness, so that they can study hard and take the exam, and like the children and grandchildren of high-ranking officials, as long as they pass the exam, they can enter the court as officials.
Thinking of this, he knelt down and thanked the emperor sincerely: "The emperor is wise!" ”
Some of them led him, and the ministers behind had to kneel down and kowtow and shout, "The emperor is wise!" ”
Seeing this, Shangguan Haoyu had to bow down and kneel, the emperor is a king, he is a minister, the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, even if he is an old minister of the three dynasties, he can't ignore the etiquette.
Looking at the ministers who were prostrate on the ground below, Qi Hanxuan's heart fell slightly, he knew what this meant.
From now on, until there is no one to stop him in the path of reform, the imperial examination can be carried out normally, and whether he is in power or succeeded by his heir in the future, he cannot change this system except for a better system for the benefit of the people
However, Shang Shuling didn't seem to do his best to stop it this time, according to his old plan, it is estimated that he is planning something, he doesn't believe that he will stop there, and will not seek benefits for his Shangguan family, and he has time to let Leng go to investigate and investigate again and again
Retract your thoughts and open your mouth to "flatten"
"Emperor Xie" The ministers shouted in unison again, and then got up.
