Chapter 276: The Vital Point
In the midst of a lot of discussions, Lu Yunzhou turned his head to look at the person who spoke, this person is in his forties, medium build, white skin, three locks of clear beard under his chin, he looks quite handsome and elegant, but he has a pair of narrow triangular hanging eyes, his eyes are rolling around, and he looks like he has a bad stomach, but it destroys the overall image!
This person is Dr. Zou Zheng of Linzi!
The position of Linzi Doctor is the parent official of the entire Linzi Capital, although under Tian Dan's nose, his power cannot be as good as the Wudu Doctor on the border, but it can also be called a real power figure, he is different from Chun Yuyi, a clown like Chun Yuyi, his words naturally have weight, and this remark immediately triggered a discussion among the hundreds of officials present.
Lu Yunzhou's heart sank, he knew that Qi Min's actions yesterday would definitely cause him a certain degree of trouble, but he didn't expect that opponents would also be very good at finding an opportunity, and they would choose to suddenly attack at this time.
He saw that he had finished saying all the good things about the imperial examination system, and confirmed that he had nothing to say, so he could start splashing dirty water to his heart's content!
Lu Yunzhou sneered in his heart, and glanced at Hou Jun, who seemed to be light and light, and had nothing to do with himself, he knew that Zou Zheng was also Hou Jun's person, but judging from Zou Zheng's style of accurately cutting the timing and planning to act, this person is very different from the dog-legged Chun Yuyi, this person is not simple!
But after listening to Zou Zheng's words, he didn't stop talking, but continued to sneer: "I said that you people are really easy to deceive, what kind of sages are you?" And the whole world of brilliant and brilliant people flocked to my court? There is such a good thing in the world, why don't I know? You don't know how many positions I have in Daqi, but are you all happy that so many people are running to compete for a seat under your ass? If this move is successfully implemented, I am afraid that most of the people in this court will have to go home! ”
What?
Zou Zheng's words were like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, and many officials present who originally firmly supported the imperial examination system were blindfolded!
Oh, yes! These people began to feel frightened and asked themselves, where do they have the confidence to compete with the real talents?
Yes, the imperial examination system can indeed help you select excellent successors, but what if your own children are overwhelmed and fail? There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, this world is so big, how many strange people and strange people, the officialdom of my Qi country is so big, do you really want to recruit all these people and rob us of our jobs?
And the family is not prosperous, Lao Tzu is going to drink with the king of Hades after a hundred years, who can care about these things! It's not that your status and wealth are the most important when you are alive!
That's a good saying - people have to live in the moment!
There is also a saying that says it even better - if people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!
is like a basin of cold water on the head, which suddenly extinguished the enthusiasm that was ignited by Lu Yunzhou, many people began to calm down, considered their own interests and losses, and many people began to retreat!
Zou Zheng glanced at Lu Yunzhou with disdain, Lu Yunzhou clenched his fists, he could understand Zou Zheng's eyes, this person's trick is to use the way of others to govern his body, he is using Lu Yunzhou's tricks to deal with Lu Yunzhou!
Lu Yunzhou can use the family interests of the hundreds of officials present to win them over to support the imperial examination system, and Zou Zheng can naturally use the interests of the people present to pull them back away, so that they can become a new force against the imperial examination system!
In the final analysis, for these people who have been in officialdom all their lives, families, children and grandchildren? Bah! How can these things have their own real interests!
In order to make meritorious contributions and destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom, Le Yang can still drink the meat soup cooked with his son's meat without changing his face!
Father-son affection, in this chaotic world of cannibalism, it is a broken wall and everyone pushes it, and it is a broken drum and ten thousand hammers! Crumbling, how sturdy!
Zou Zheng smiled proudly, in his opinion, Lu Yunzhou, this kid is a debater, and it is difficult for him to be sure of winning only in the debate, but even if you win the debate today, what if I win? As soon as Lao Tzu's killer feature comes out, even if you say it more reasonably, these vested interests present will no longer support you in order to keep their high-ranking officials and wealth, and in order to keep their glory and wealth!
For these corrupt officials with fat brains, in order to keep their position, what is the great deal about reversing black and white? For the greater good, let them betray their conscience, kill people and set fires, and even betray the country, they won't even blink their eyes more!
Lu Yunzhou frowned, Zou Yan's plan was like the Dugu Nine Sword that attacked the enemy, it had really hit the nail on the head, and for a while, with his intelligence, he was also in a predicament!
Yes, Zou Zheng said this, Lu Yunzhou is not indisputable, but the lost support, if you want to recover it at this moment, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky!
is like a fragile balloon, the beautiful blueprint that Lu Yunzhou drew for everyone present before, after all, is built on flickering, once it is punctured by reality at this moment, the result can only be a piece of chicken feathers!
More and more people began to sit back in their seats, silently and coldly watched, and there were very few people still standing to show their support!
Before Lu Yunzhou could say the last word, Zhongsun You's already angry face turned white, he pointed at Zou Zheng and scolded angrily: "Jealous and jealous, shameless!" If you stop the imperial examination system in my Great Qi, then you are a sinner in my Qi country! ”
Zou Zheng sneered and said disdainfully: "Sinners don't dare to be, whoever wants to be should be!" Mr. Zhongsun, you are a respected old-timer, but please think about it carefully, the imperial examination system is a kind of ability assessment, and the people selected from this are afraid that there will be talented and virtuous people! ”
"This ......" Zhongsun was stunned and stopped talking, he is a Confucian disciple, and moral character has always been what he values, Zou Zheng's words have indeed hit the nail on the head, that's right, the imperial examination system selects capable bureaucrats, not moral bureaucrats!
But Ren Cheng, who advocates legalism, doesn't accept this, and said coldly: "Talented but not virtuous? When did Lord Zou also start advocating morality? Dare to ask Mr. Zou, is it more important for the country to be strong, or is it more important for Mr. Zou to flaunt himself with benevolence and morality, but behind his back, he is a man thief and a prostitute, and his reputation is notorious? ”
Duan Yuhong laughed "haha": "Well said, Lord Zou, if there are talented and unvirtuous people who are not allowed to enter the court, then please get out first!" ”
Zou Zheng does have a very bad reputation among the people, and he has done a lot of immoral things such as rape and plunder, murder and arson, forcing good people to become prostitutes, and lending usury!
Hou Jun's face changed, and he looked at Duan Yuhong in great surprise, he didn't expect that Duan Yuhong, as one of the highest officials of Qi State, would stomp on the person who would shake Qi Country three times, and at this moment, he would openly argue with his own people for a little Qi Yu!
Zou Zheng's face changed, no matter how thick-skinned he was, it was very uncomfortable to be accused in public of being talented and immoral!
Tian Dan's eyelids lifted and glanced at everyone, those who could still stand to support Lu Yunzhou at this moment, except for the military generals who were ordered by him not to participate in the opinions, it can be said that they are all loyal and upright among the few remaining civil officials in Qi State!
Zou Yan didn't dare to provoke Duan Yuhong, but he nailed Ren Cheng angrily, brushed his sleeves and said unhappily: "You seem to be thinking about the Qi State, but you don't know that there is a biggest loophole in this imperial examination system!" ”
Ren Chengcai didn't eat this set, and said coldly: "Lord Zou, let it go if you have a fart!" ”
Zou Zhengsheng swallowed this breath, his narrow hanging eyes flashed with a gloomy light, and he said coldly: "In addition to selecting talented and immoral people, the selection of this imperial examination system is open to people from all over the world, how can you guarantee that there are no ill-intentioned spies among these people!" Judging only by achievements, if the spies of various countries are allowed to infiltrate our Qi court, you so-called patriots, will be happy? ”
In an uproar, Zou Zheng turned his resentful gaze to Lu Yunzhou, and said hatefully: "Young Master Qi, you proposed this imperial examination system, you can't always let others speak for you!" If the important confidential information of my Qi State is leaked to other countries because of the imperial examination system, and people with bad intentions are allowed to stir up trouble in the officialdom of my Qi State, how should you explain to the king and Tian Xiang! ”
