Chapter 125: Questioning the New Order
Ying Zheng, who returned to the palace, thought about what Ran Fang said, and was deeply moved in his heart.
He seemed to see that this change would be historic and great for Daqin.
But this change will definitely be resisted by those nobles, or infamy.
As long as he can be good to Da Qin, then what if he is infamous?!
The second day, the Kirin Hall.
In the early days of the dynasty today, the ministers had been waiting for a long time, everyone was chatting, and the expressions on their faces were all a picture of the quiet years.
When Ying Zheng came in, they instantly restrained their expressions, and they were full of respect from their eyes to their movements.
"See Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng glanced at the kneeling crowd, and his expression was indifferent, "Get up." ”
After everyone stood still, he opened his mouth first without waiting for anyone in the audience to speak.
"This corruption case turned out to be such a result, the officials of the DPRK and China are so disappointed!"
During this period of investigation, they also received the news, and everyone was a little scared, for fear that the investigation would involve themselves.
For this reason, they have been keeping a low profile these days, trying not to get into His Majesty's eyes.
So at this moment, the officials in the audience all lowered their heads, and no one dared to stand up at this time, for fear that His Majesty would be angry with him.
It's just that after Ying Zheng finished saying the last word, they said loudly: "The ministers are guilty." ”
Ying Zheng didn't seem to see it, and then said: "In this way, I have decided to implement the imperial examination system!" ”
In a word, the ministers of the court were stunned, and no one knew what this imperial examination system meant.
Just when they were stunned, Ying Zheng continued: "Pass on the order to summon talented people to Xianyang, no matter what their status, if they can be in the top five in the scientific examination held in Xianyang City after May, they can enter the court as officials." ”
"Take the head of Great Qin Qiantou first, and immediately announce it to the world!"
No one thought that Ying Zheng would say such shocking words at the beginning.
Let Qianshou enter the court as an official, for those of them who hold hereditary official positions, it is simply a joke!
Li Si, who was standing in front of the crowd, had a surprised expression, but it only took a moment to understand the meaning of Ying Zheng's words.
He didn't expect Ying Zheng to implement this order, could it be that this was to fight against all the ministers of the DPRK and China?
Don't think about it, he also knew that this method was proposed by Ran Fang.
Every time Ran Fang proposed before, it was beneficial to Daqin, and he was able to accept it.
But this time, let a group of Qiantou enter the court as officials, does Ran Fang know what it means?!
It's a disaster!
And looking at Yingzheng's meaning, this matter has been decided, and there is no intention to discuss it with them, which makes Li Si feel a little unacceptable.
Thinking about it, Li Si was the first to stand up, walked to the middle of the hall, and respectfully gave a standard salute to Ying Zheng.
Then he said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is a ...... Inappropriate. ”
Those officials were originally shocked by Ying Zheng's words, but it was only a moment for them to understand the pros and cons, which was definitely not a good thing for the people promoted by these big families.
Seeing that Li Si was the first to stand up, the rest of the ministers also stood behind Li Si, and after saluting Yingzheng, they said in unison: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”
The expression on Ying Zheng's face was not the slightest surprise, he had expected these results for a long time.
But he didn't plan to listen to them, he had already decided on this matter, and there was absolutely no turning back.
For a while, the atmosphere of the court was so confrontational.
Li Si knows Ying Zheng best, and knows that if he is so tough, Ying Zheng will not have any compromise at all.
So he just paused for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the heads of Qiantou are all white dings, if they can enter the court as officials, won't they be ridiculed by the people of the world for Daqin?" ”
"When they learned the official system, they were already given the opportunity, as long as they have the ability, they can enter the court as officials, why do you want to let the head of Qiantou be an official?"
"But if the imperial examination system is implemented again, this is inconsistent with my Great Qin decree."
"The minister thinks that this matter should be considered in the long run, and not in a hurry."
"Please take back your order!"
This is not only the idea of Li Si, but also the idea of all the ministers of the DPRK and China.
They all stood firmly behind Li Si, silently supporting Li Si, and shouted in unison: "Please take back your majesty's order!" ”
When Ying Zheng brought up the corruption case just now, no one dared to step forward.
Now that he opposes the implementation of the imperial examination system by Yingzheng, he is very unanimous.
The expression on Ying Zheng's face suddenly became difficult to see, how could he not know what was in the hearts of this group of people?
It's just that he has never taken some innocuous things to heart.
But now he dares to oppose himself, how can he bear it?!
Moreover, this imperial examination system is definitely beneficial and harmless to Daqin!
Just like Ran Fang said, the purpose of repairing books is to subdue people's hearts, if they enter the court as officials, then they can let all places see that Great Qin is indeed willing to accept the heads of the world, isn't it better?
But these people want to stop this!
"There is no need to dispute this matter, I have decided!"
Just this sentence, the officials in the hall did not dare to say more.
Everyone knows Yingzheng's temper, and no one can change what he decides.
What's more, Ying Zheng's tone just now was no longer good, if anyone dared to say more, I am afraid that they would not be able to eat and walk around.
In this way, even if the officials below were not convinced, they could only swallow their complaints with their heads down, and then said in a deep voice: "The ministers obey the order." ”
Looking at their expressions, Ying Zheng knew what was in their hearts.
He also knew that things would not go so smoothly in this imperial examination.
But so what?!
As long as the best effect can be achieved, he doesn't care about these things, but he has to find someone to oversee the matter.
After the ministers finished speaking, Wei Liang, the eunuch beside Ying Zheng, stepped forward and said in a sharp and loud voice: "Retreat from the dynasty-"
Everyone had no choice but to accept this matter.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty."
After Yingzheng left, the ministers came out of the Qilin Hall one after another.
There was a hint of resentment in everyone's expressions, and there was confusion, no one could understand why His Majesty would suddenly hold the imperial examination system, this is really unheard of!
The official, who was good friends with Li Si, walked up to Li Si and asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”
"Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
Li Si glanced at him, did not speak, and continued to walk towards the outside of the palace.
If he knew, he would have entered the palace to admonish Yingzheng, but he was caught off guard by Yingzheng in the early dynasty.
After eating a closed door at Li Si's place, the official didn't dare to entangle, so he stayed away a little bit and discussed the matter with other officials.
But Li Si was thinking, after His Majesty entered Xianyang Prison yesterday, he didn't see any officials in his bedroom, so this matter must be related to Ran Fang.
But he couldn't understand why Ran Fang had this proposal?
"It seems that if you want Your Majesty to take back your life, you still have to start with Ran Fang."
