Chapter 151: Public Opinion
Tian Dan's deep voice sounded in the study--
"However, as the prime minister of Qi State, no matter when, the stability of Qi Country is my first priority. Although the imperial examination system is good, the big families and wealthy bureaucrats of the Qi country will certainly not watch the smooth implementation of the imperial examination system and damage their interests, and then the material discussion will be raging and there will be many obstacles, and if the contradictions intensify, it will be impossible for me to stop the counterattack of the entire Qi country's interest groups! If this leads to a shock in the court and civil strife in the country, it will be even more contrary to the original intention! Therefore, Qi Yu, I would like to ask, as the proposer of the imperial examination system, do you have any good ways to deal with this?
Lu Yunzhou smiled, confidently arched his hand, and said loudly: "It's not a secret, I have really considered this matter, if Tian Xiang trusts me, I will officially propose this policy in public at the beginning of next month, if Tian Xiang is embarrassed at that time, he can be noncommittal, do not express his opinion, and do not need to pass it on the spot, everything is left to Qi Yu to plan for Tian Xiang!"
At this time, it is exactly ten days away from the Great Dynasty at the beginning of next month, and Lu Yunzhou personally promised Xiao Yuetan during the day today, and within ten days, he will give him a reason to have to help him!
At this time, since he and Tian Dan have reached an agreement in private, then Lu Yunzhou can let go without burden, just wait for the end of the dynasty in ten days, once the news of the imperial examination system spreads from the government and the opposition to the people, after Xiao Yuetan hears the news, it is absolutely impossible to leave with Tu Xian!
In this era of valuing fame, Lu Yunzhou believes that as long as he is a real scholar, no one will refuse this temptation!
Tian Dan's eyes lit up, and he slowly spoke: "You mean ......?"
Lu Yunzhou nodded and said: "That's right, since those high-ranking families are bound to oppose it, then we can naturally also win over a larger number of ordinary people in the Qi country and students from poor families in the world! Tian Xiang is right, this matter is indeed not suitable to come hard, so as long as Tian Xiang does not let go and does not express his position, this matter is my own business, and the spearhead of those big families will only be aimed at me alone, and will not cause greater conflicts and turmoil, as long as the imperial examination system has not become a policy, the vigilance of the big families will not be so strong!" Therefore, as long as we take advantage of the fact that they have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, we will quickly turn the debate on the imperial examination system into a big discussion that has swept the entire Qi country, and let this measure of the imperial examination system penetrate into the hearts of every common person in the Qi country! Then when those big families find that they have stood on the opposite side of all the people of Qi and even all the poor students in the whole world, then they will suddenly wake up to the fact that their general trend has gone, and they are irretrievable and powerless to stop it!"
Tian Danzhi stared at Lu Yunzhou stunned for a while, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "What a trick to draw salary, Qi Yu, I only found out at this moment that discussing things with you, using my brain is actually in vain, no matter how difficult things are, no matter how many smart people in ancient and modern times are stumped, in your hands, it has become so simple, it is the most worry-free as long as you give the final answer!"
"It's just--" Tian Dan frowned, and hesitated: "In this way, you will inevitably be pushed to the forefront, and you will face the criticism of all the nobles of the Qi country alone, you can understand that this is very dangerous, those people of the family will not debate with you fairly in a proper manner! Moreover, if you are an enemy of all the families of the Qi country, it will also make your future career full of ups and downs, that is, your Qi family, the first family of the Qi country, will not be able to be the enemy of all the family ministers of the Qi country!"
Lu Yunzhou smiled: "It's okay, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?"
How could Lu Yunzhou do something that was not beneficial to himself? Tian Dan still could not understand at this time that once the imperial examination system was really implemented, the rolling tide of history would be unstoppable, and those great families would gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and the struggle at this time would be meaningless! As long as the imperial examination system selects batch after batch of capable and talented poor bureaucrats, then Lu Yunzhou will gain a steady stream of prestige, and those poor students in the world who hope to benefit from the imperial examination system will also bring huge political resources to Lu Yunzhou, and become his greatest confidence in the officialdom of Qi State in the future!
"Okay!" Tian Dan nodded solemnly to Lu Yunzhou, and said loudly: "Qi Yu, since you are so determined, then your true appearance will not fail you! Originally, I had an envoy mission to be sent to you today, so it was just right! Qi Yu, after you proposed the imperial examination system in the Great Dynasty at the beginning of next month, the next influence will spread, and I will secretly carry it out for you. It's just right to give me a decent credit back, so that when the prime minister promotes you in the future, you can also stop those people's mouths!"
"Envoy?" Lu Yunzhou was slightly stunned, thinking that he was going to go abroad, and then arched his hand and said: "Yes, Qi Yu is all under the arrangement of Tian Xiang!"
Lu Yunzhou understood what Tian Dan meant, the brewing of public opinion, whether he was present or not, the difference was not very big, on the contrary, he, the initiator, and the focus of the contradiction were not in Qi State, and many things would be more convenient to operate secretly.
Moreover, sending him abroad during this tense and sensitive time was also a disguised protection of Lu Yunzhou's personal safety.
Moreover, although Lu Yunzhou has made great contributions to the Tuntian system, he is still young at this time, and second, he has never received an official position before.
At that time, Lin Xiangru was an envoy to the Qin State, and after returning to Zhao to make great contributions, and proved to the people that he was actually talented, he was directly promoted to Xiangbang by King Zhao Huiwen from a white ding!
Tian Dan nodded with satisfaction, saw the gap in Lu Yunzhou's chest, his clothes were cut by a sharp blade, and said in a deep voice: "Qi Yu, your contribution to the Qi country is too great, and I can't think of what ......to reward you for a while."
Seeing that Lu Yunzhou seemed to be about to speak, Tian Dan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Whether it is the secret watching of the blood swallow or the fierce dispute that will break out next, you are in the center of danger! Since this golden soft armor saved your life tonight, I will give you this treasure armor! I want you to live well, so that together with your true appearance, you can revive the hegemony of my Great Qi!"
Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this, and replied loudly: "Yes, Tian Xiang!"
