Hearing Zhao Mingyuan's categorical refusal, the people in the Demon Gate couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

In fact, even if he is a king, he is just a leader like Fu Gongyou who is in charge of the division of soldiers and horses, and it has nothing to do with people like An Long who have no territory of soldiers and horses.

In fact, in a world like Datang where martial arts flourish, as long as the martial arts are high enough, they have always been proud of the princes.

Therefore, whether to be crowned king or not is not so important to those of them in the martial arts.

The reason why An Long was entangled in this point and asked several times was just to explore Zhao Mingyuan's attitude.

If Zhao Mingyuan allowed the people in the Demon Gate to officially step into the court, or even to worship the king, it would mean that he really treated the Demon Gate equally.

If the people in the Demon Gate can enter the court openly, then are the other rights and interests far away?

If Zhao Mingyuan can really do it, it naturally means that he has completely accepted the Demon Gate and cut off from the Buddhist Gate. The Demon Gate can also completely believe in Zhao Mingyuan's position, and there is no need to guard against Zhao Mingyuan's reconciliation with the Buddhist Sect and turn his head to deal with them.

But who knows, it is really shocking to get such an unexpected result.

Zhao Mingyuan: Is this crazy?

Or is it called inflated after being alone, despising everything?

Knowing that Li Valve offered such generous conditions, he still adhered to the principle that he could not be crowned king unless he opened up his territory.

Is this because it is not difficult enough to unify the world, do you want to make it more difficult for yourself?

Now that you know Li Valve's plan, you can also cut the feudal domain in the future. At this time, it is not a good choice to firmly reject everyone like this.

In the eyes of the Demon Gate, even if Li Valve reversed his word and eliminated the feudal domain afterwards, it was nothing.

But Zhao Mingyuan is insisting on the principle of uselessness, knowing that there are great benefits but refusing to lie, in their opinion, this is not the style of a qualified king.

As for what Zhao Mingyuan said, even the military exploits of unifying the world are not enough to crown the king, only the merits of opening up the territory and expanding the territory can. How many people can achieve such harsh conditions?

Anyway, they think that there is absolutely no hope for Fu Gongyou and Lin Shihong.

After all, even if he conquered foreign races in the future, the generals of his troops would naturally be decided by Zhao Mingyuan. How could he not arrange for his cronies to let outsiders lead the troops, thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible.

In this case, for them, this condition is equivalent to nothing.

Seeing that the people in the Demon Gate were not too satisfied with this, Zhao Mingyuan then offered another condition.

"The widow is ready to sweep the south of the Yangtze River this year and open the imperial examination in the spring of next year.

My Ming imperial examination is different from Sui Yang's imperial examination.

Everyone, regardless of their status or origin, can apply for the exam. Whether it is a farmer or a trader, they all treat everyone equally, and only learn from heroes by talent. ”

Listening to Zhao Mingyuan's words, everyone in the Demon Gate couldn't help but perk up and stared at Zhao Mingyuan tightly.

Compared with the conditions just now, Zhao Mingyuan's condition is really attractive to the Demon Gate.

Compared with one or two people entering the court, being able to participate in the imperial examination and enter the court openly is better for the Demon Gate than any conditions.

An Long couldn't help but ask, "What King Ming said is true?" You can participate regardless of your status, and businessmen like An can also participate, right? ”

Zhao Mingyuan replied: "Of course, whether it is a farmer, a businessman, a monk, a monk, or a hundred families, they can participate, and even women can participate in the imperial examination.

Fairness is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty. ”

These words were even more surprising than Zhao Mingyuan's words of sealing the king just now, and even Wan Wan couldn't help but hug Zhao Mingyuan's arm and asked softly: "Really, can a person like the slave family also participate in the imperial examination and become an official?"

King Ming, don't coax the slave family! ”

Zhao Mingyuan smiled: "Of course, I said that this is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, so naturally I am not coaxing you."

Even women can participate in the imperial examination and become officials in the court.

Didn't you already know that Shen Luoyan had entered the cabinet?

With this precedent, what is there to believe! ”

Seeing that everyone still had surprised and incredulous expressions, Zhao Mingyuan continued:

Moreover, this meritocracy does not only refer to the talents of Confucianism.

In fact, Confucianism will only account for a part of the imperial examination in the spring of next year, and the remarks of other sages of the hundred schools of thought will also be added to it for assessment.

There are also many other disciplines such as clear calculation, engineering, equipment, agriculture, and economics, which will also become a subject assessed in the imperial examination.

Of course, you don't need to be proficient in all disciplines, you only need to choose your best subject for assessment.

After approval, the appointment can be made in the direction in which the person is well suited. ”

If the people in the Demon Gate were so excited that they couldn't believe it when they heard Zhao Mingyuan's words at the beginning, then when they heard Zhao Mingyuan's words now, they simply felt like they were in a dream, thinking that Zhao Mingyuan was coaxing them.

After all, this is even more exaggerated than Li Valve's scam, which makes people even more unbelievable.

It has only been a few decades since the rise of the imperial examination, and not many people have been admitted, and they have always been controlled by the family gatekeeper, which has not had much impact.

But everyone knows that if it is changed according to what Zhao Mingyuan said, then this imperial examination will really make earth-shaking changes in the whole world.

Regardless of status and status, you can participate in the imperial examination and become an official, which is even better than the best conditions that the Demon Gate thought.

What's more, as Zhao Mingyuan said, the content of the imperial examination is not only Confucianism, but also the content of the hundred schools of thought, and even the content of all walks of life.

This condition is so good that these people in the demon gate can't believe it's true.

However, looking at Zhao Mingyuan's serious and serious eyes, they, who had long been accustomed to discrimination, couldn't help but hope that this was true, even if there was a 1 in 10,000 possibility.

If it's true, if it's true!

As soon as they thought of this, the hearts of the people in the Demon Gate were excited, and their thoughts flowed, looking at Zhao Mingyuan's eyes were extremely complicated.

Is he really a member of the Daomen?

It can't be from the Holy Gate!

Could it be that the dream of the Holy Gate for thousands of years will be realized in the hands of Zhao Mingyuan?

If it can really be realized, then Zhao Mingyuan is the supreme saint emperor of my holy gate, and no one dares to disobey it.

Looking at the trance on everyone's faces, Zhao Mingyuan continued: "Now the cabinet is divided into six departments: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry, but this is only an expedient measure when the world is undecided, and it will be subdivided after the country is determined.

And these different jobs naturally require the mastery of different professional skills, and also correspond to different imperial examination projects.

For example, if the widow intends to set up a business department under the household department, if the business department develops and grows in the future, it may be separated and become its own.

The content that the personnel of the Ministry of Commerce need to assess is naturally different from that of other departments. ”

Zhao Mingyuan looked at An Long, and then said, "I heard that everyone in the Heavenly Lotus Sect is good at the way of business, and Boss An, as the sect master of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, is the best among them.

I don't know if Boss An has the intention to come to the Ministry of Commerce as a widow and serve as the first minister of the Ministry of Commerce? ”

Willing! I really want to.

An Long didn't say anything directly.

But thinking that he was still negotiating, and he was still the representative of the Holy Gate, he temporarily eased his mind and did not speak.

This is because An Long is afraid that he will open his mouth and say the word "willing".

Although Anlong is strong in martial arts, he is even richer in the world. But because of his status as a businessman, he was prejudiced by many ignorant people and looked down upon by many people.

Now Zhao Mingyuan is willing to let him control the economic power of a country, and even has an independent Ministry of Commerce, which is tied with the six ministries.

What a trust!

No one has ever trusted me like this, and for a while, the idea of dying as a confidant was born in An Long's heart.

Since then, Zhao Mingyuan has become an unparalleled Ming Jun in An Long's heart, even if he is the boss Shi Zhixuan for many years, his position in An Long's heart has also been shaken.

It's really Zhao Mingyuan who gave too much!

Seeing that An Long seemed to have been persuaded by him, and the others also had their own ideas, Zhao Mingyuan turned his head to look at Zhu Yuyan, the sect leader of the Yin Sect who had not said a word since stepping onto the boat.

This is the strongest and highest status among them, and she has not yet expressed her position, so the negotiations are naturally not a foregone conclusion.

So, Zhao Mingyuan then spoke: "Actually, although the conditions for sealing the king that the widow just mentioned are a bit harsh, it is not that no one can achieve them.

For example, if the Dongming faction sent a vote and dedicated the Ryukyu Island it occupied to the Ming Dynasty, why would the widow be stingy with the throne?

And there are countless lands like Ryukyu Island on the sea, as long as they occupy more than one county overseas and belong to the Ming Dynasty, everyone can be crowned as a prince. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuyan still seemed unmoved, Zhao Mingyuan then increased his weight and said, "Women in the world account for half of the world's population, so naturally we also need to set up a special department to manage it.

I wonder if the queen of yin has any intention about this? ”

No one can resist this card, not even Zhu Yuyan.

Hearing Zhao Mingyuan's promise, the entire negotiation was silent, but the queen of Yin Zhu Yuyan spoke for the first time.

Although his voice is soft, his tone is unmistakable, and it contains a different kind of charm.

I only heard Zhu Yuyan say: "Although King Ming described it well, whether it can be achieved is another matter."

King Fei Ming thinks that he has settled on us, and the meaning of his words is to completely annex my holy gate.

Since this is the case, then ask King Ming to show his strength to see if your teeth are good enough, whether you have enough appetite to swallow it, and whether you can realize all the plans you said. ”

As soon as these words came out, the candles on the ship flickered and flickered, flickering and dimming. Between the flickering light and shadow, there is an inexplicable pressure spreading, making people feel like they are in the devil's domain.

Alas!

Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Sure enough, for a sect like the Demon Sect that believes in the respect of the strong, no matter how much it gives, it is inevitable that there will be a fight, and they must be subdued fiercely.

In that case, let's do it.
