"The old minister admires the great achievements that His Majesty describes. When he heard them, his heart was surging and fascinated. However, what Lord Ma said was reasonable. It took such a huge amount of effort, but I still didn't know how effective it was. I couldn't help but be frightened by it. ≤"

Fang Bao was careful. When he heard Ma Qi's tone of speaking, he couldn't help but worry that Hong Qing would get angry. He quickly said that he would relieve himself. Although he spoke gently, his meaning was actually nothing different from Ma Qi.

"Well, what I am thinking about is indeed reasonable. However, I think that although the cost is huge, it is a matter of value. Education and enlightenment of the people is the foundation of a strong country. No matter how much it costs, I will do whatever I want. Even if I tighten my belt, I am willing to do so. No matter how poor I am, I cannot do so. As for the effect, I think that the imperial examination will be more than a hundred times stronger than today. You can see the fact that the military academy replaces the martial arts department, and you will know the foundation."

Hongqing could understand the worries about Ma and Fang, and would not get angry, but explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise and I am sincerely admired me, but the old minister still has two doubts. One is whether the time for implementation is appropriate. Now, Your Majesty has several new policies, and they are still under implementation. All the departments of the court are working hard. If the imperial examination reform is carried out again, there may be any mistakes. Once the government and the country are in chaos, good things may become worse. Secondly, according to Your Majesty, the battle with the six Western Barbarians is imminent, and military expenditures will inevitably increase sharply. It is better to win quickly. If the battle becomes a stalemate, there is a possibility that many new policies will be abandoned halfway. Therefore, I think it is appropriate to postpone this matter and discuss it again. This is the simple opinion of the old minister. Please ask Your Majesty to take a closer look."

Zhang Tingyu was obviously not optimistic about the large-scale innovation proposed by Hongqing, but he did not explicitly object, but carefully raised two questions.

"Heng Chen is very worried. Although I have long been determined to reform the imperial examination, I have been reluctant to move lightly. What I am concerned about is nothing more than the timing. According to my original intention, I originally planned to do this after winning the six kingdoms. However, the fourth uncle was anxious, but he did not allow me to have idleness. Hey, if I had good expectations, Wang Siqi was just a pioneer and would have to make trouble next time. I guess those eight banner commanders will not be idle. Once things go big, even if I want to suppress it, I am afraid it will not be easy. Since this is the case, it is a safe way to go with the trend. Their reforms are just piloting the reform first. Whether the silver or the scale they spend is controlled, they are not likely to be missed."

Everyone present was a trustworthy person. Hongqing would not hide too much, and she expressed her thoughts very calmly.

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Hongqing had already said this to such a certain point, and it was obvious that he had decided to make him decide. Obviously, even if he persuaded him, he would definitely change his mind. Since this was the case, the ministers of military affairs stopped celebrating and praised him all.

"What we are talking about today is limited to this. Don't spread it. I will quickly draw up a preliminary charter in the next few days. How to implement it? I will discuss it in detail with you and others after the charter is released. It's getting late. Please go there first. As for Wang Siqi's memorial, it's fine."

Although the ministers of military affairs all praised it unanimously, Hongqing knew that everyone was still quite confused, but it was not good to make any more suggestions at this time. However, Hongqing didn't care. It was impossible for such a major change to be influential, and it was impossible to convince all the ministers and workers at the beginning. However, Hongqing was confident that he would convince everyone when he came up with the specific regulations. As for this time, Hongqing didn't want to talk too much, so he just gave a few words of advice and sent everyone away...

More than ten days passed quickly, as Hongqing expected, although Wang Siqi's comments were kept and not posted, the content of this chapter was soon spread in the capital. Under the promotion of those who are interested, the hot discussions between the court and the public suddenly arose, with supporters and opponents. Generally speaking, most of the Eight Banners children agree with innovation, while those Confucian children mostly oppose it, so there are many people who say this, but Hongqing ignores it, no matter what.

The chapter of the opinions was kept together and not released. This ambiguous attitude undoubtedly encouraged the controversy between the court and the country. In the end, the two sides launched a fierce war of saliva in the Beijing Times. There is no doubt that with the release of the Beijing Times, a large-scale dispute has also started across the country. At this point, even if the court comes forward to suppress it, it will be difficult to forcibly suppress such large-scale disputes unless the court can come up with a result that satisfies all parties.

What those who rule the government are most afraid of is that there is constant controversy. Obviously, when such a sudden imperial examination storm occurred, the governors and governors of various provinces were unpredictable, and they all went to the court to intimidate and asked the court to come up with a practical charter for the reform of the imperial examination. The ministers in the court also put this chapter together. What followed? Naturally, it was extremely huge pressure. If someone changed to the emperor, they would have to be confused when encountering such emergencies. But Hongqing was fine. Nearly a month has passed, and he never came to face this matter to explain it. Even when the court discussed, he did not ask the ministers to discuss it. In this case, all the ministers and workers were confused and couldn't help but worry about it.

Didn't do anything? Of course not. In the past month, Hongqing has been exchanging opinions with the military ministers on the imperial examination reform almost every day. The reform regulations that have been hard for several days have been changed a few times. They are busy until late at night every day. There is no way. As an emperor, there is too much government pragmatism to deal with. It is impossible to devote all their energy to the imperial examination reform. In this way, Hongqing is alone. It has only been less than a month, and he has been tired all his life. Fortunately, the hard work has finally been in vain. With the help of Zhang Tingyu and others, a relatively complete imperial examination reform regulations has finally been completed. But another problem arises - who should I leave it to to implement?

Although there are many ministers in the court who can trust, there are not many people qualified to take the lead in the imperial examination reform. Several military ministers are already operating at full capacity. It is obviously not appropriate to add burdens to them. As for Liu Chengen and a large number of Hongqing's original direct troops, whether in terms of qualifications or ability, they are obviously not enough to deal with such major changes. Besides, the Fourth Master is staring at him. If there is a little mistake, there will inevitably be another big storm in the court. Obviously, such a person must be careful and careful when he is determined. Hongqing is very aware of this. After thinking for a few days, he finally made the final decision.

"I'm going to see Your Majesty!"

Xiao Xuanwu, the Minister of Rites, entered the Yangxin Hall and immediately noticed something was wrong. There was no one there. In the huge hall, there was not even a eunuch who was attending him. Only Hongqing sat high on the dragon bed in the upper head. This was obviously a pattern of creating a secret knee. He couldn't help but panic. Fortunately, he was very skilled in qi cultivation, and he never showed a very panic look. He hurriedly grabbed the imperial front and paid a visit in a regular manner.

"Forgive."

Facing Xiao Xuanwu's great gift, Hongqing did not say anything, but just shouted calmly.

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

When he heard Hongqing's tone was very calm, Xiao Xuanwu not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but was even more nervous. After so many years of getting along, Xiao Xuanwu knew what kind of person his eldest brother-in-law was. The more peaceful he was, the more important the matter he was to talk about. Xiao Xuanwu couldn't help but worry about it, that is, he was so cunning that he did not lose his composure. After rushing to thank him, he immediately stood up, lowered his hands, and made a good-looking appearance of listening to the instructions.

"Luoshan (Xiao Xuanwu's word) Do you still remember what I said to you when you hit Tanhua?"

Hongqing is such a shrewd person. Even if Xiao Xuanwu conceals it well, he can see through Xiao Xuanwu's nervousness at a glance. However, he didn't care much, and he didn't get to the point directly. Instead, he asked a question like a family.

"Reply to Your Majesty's words, I will never dare to forget your instructions. At that time, the Lord once taught me to be down-to-earth and keep it in mind."

Xiao Xuanwu was naturally not an ordinary person to pass the exam. He had a very good memory. As soon as Hongqing finished speaking, he gave the answer without thinking.

"Well, I have always seen my achievements over the years. The word "down-to-earth" is the best evaluation of you. However, the purpose of being down-to-earth is not to step on the ground, but to rise up. I asked you to come this time just for one thing. I will read this constitution first and then discuss it."

Hongqing was very satisfied with Xiao Xuanwu's attitude. After praising him a few words, she didn't give him any more. She picked up a note on the table and threw it to Xiao Xuanwu.

"Your Majesty is wise. I think if I can do it according to this charter, it will be a problem to select talents for the country. I think it is feasible."

Although Xiao Xuanwu is also a Confucian child, he is not the one who is waiting to study hard or studying hard. He is a person with real talent in the world. He has also been practicing in the local area for many years and has a strong ability to govern. After reading the regulations, after thinking about it, he has already understood the key points. When he expresses his opinion, he will be completely ambiguous.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you. Can you dare to do it?"
Chapter completed!
