136 War
Golden Palace.
During the Dayu Dynasty, hundreds of court officials and lords stood in the hall.
Emperor Xiang Yanran came back after sleeping for two hours, his legs were no longer weak, and his energy was full, so he sat on the throne of the Golden Palace again.
The emperor was very satisfied when he saw that the old ministers in the court were all full of energy and filled the huge court.
Prince Xiang Tiange sat obediently and quietly on the prince's throne head under the Golden Luan throne, listening to the government affairs, and not daring to make trouble.
"The three ministers gave the seat!"
"Today, the spring thunder suddenly sounded, and everything was revived. It was a good day! My dear friends, actively offer advice."
Xiang Yanran looked down at the court officials and said lightly.
Xie Huyong, Li Rong, and the Censor Kong Hanyou were given a seat and were in front of the Jinluan Palace.
The rest of the civil and military officials, nobles and nobles were all in the same group, but they were all silent, and the sound of the needle falling can be heard.
The two factions have been arguing over the "annual system" for half a month. In the face of this matter, other government affairs are insignificant.
All the ministers knew that a great battle between the clans and the Confucians would definitely break out in this Dawu Dynasty.
In order to compete for the right to recommend, both parties will do their best.
The greater the storm comes, the quieter it is and the deadly silence is.
A battle in the court is like arranging troops on the battlefield. Whoever charges in the battle, who is the central army, who is the bait, and whoever covers it is all very particular.
Without orders, no one dares to act rashly.
Logically, the three officials were the first to submit memorials, but this time they were not in trouble.
Dong Xianliang participated in the Wu Dynasty for the first time, but he was involved in the struggle between the great dynasty and was nervous.
But who asked the emperor to name the emperor and let him go into battle? This is forcing him to force his teacher Kong Hanyou to come up with the results as soon as possible!
Dong Xianliang gritted his teeth and was the first to submit a memorial, charging into battle. "Emperor, Dong Xianliang, the young minister of Moling County, was ordered to enter the court and request a memorial!"
"allow!"
"The little minister has a humble position and is not authorized to speak in the court.
However, because of the annual event, the court disputes lasted for a long time and should be resolved as soon as possible.
The young minister was awarded the title of "Gongzi Year and the Palace Examination" and dared to make suggestions and offered "Summoning the World's Virtuous Scheme"!"
"Whoever wants to plan a good rule must first plan a good man."
"I, the wise and outstanding people of our great Chu, are spread all over the court and the country. Tens of thousands of Confucian scholars wanted to serve the court, but they had no way to go."
"The minister requested to reform the 'annual system' and to implement the 'ego-level and award the official'!"
"The little minister requested to establish the Imperial Academy and support the wise men of the world!"
"I offer petitions from thousands of Confucian scholars, who are representatives of hundreds of counties in the Great Chu. I hope to change the annual election system and ask the court for approval!"
Dong Xianliang bowed his hand and held a thick petition with both hands, all of which were red thumbprints, and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor.
Just pressing the handprints takes up ten pages of paper.
This was a secret operation he organized a petition by Jinling Confucian scholars last night after he returned to Jinling City, which was highly confidential. Before he could enter the "Da Chu Palace News", he naturally did not know about it.
Emperor Xiang Yanran nodded slightly, expressionless.
Dong Xianliang submitted a petition for thousands of Confucian scholars, requesting reform. It seems that he still put his heart into practice and did his best.
Next, let’s see how the Prime Minister’s Mansion deals with it.
The ministers in the Prime Minister's Office were dismissed at first.
No matter how clever Dong Xianliang is, they can still stop the words of the small county magistrates.
But at the end, the ministers were moved.
Dong Xianliang actually brought in thousands of Confucian scholars and organized the Confucian scholars from all over the world to write a petition. This means that he did not speak for himself, but spoke for the Confucian scholars from all over the world.
This is a big event, and the court must give an answer.
The Prime Minister's Office, Xie Hu Yong's prime minister, Wang Su's deputy general, etc., looked at each other and sent a low-level courtier to deal with the county magistrate Dong Xianliang. It would definitely not work.
The chief minister Xie Xu came out and said seriously: "Emperor, there are great benefits and minor disadvantages in every year. I won't discuss these advantages and disadvantages for now.
But I think this is the system of the Great Chu ancestor. The rules set by Taizu are the foundation for the establishment of our Great Chu dynasty. How can we change it just by saying it?
Did he smash the pot because the rice was not tasty?
It is obviously inappropriate to make a fuss about eating.
In the annual examination, he was an official or above in the county magistrate of the Great Chu 2,000 Shi County and marquis or above. He was recommended to serve as an official before he could participate in the palace examination and pass the assessment of His Majesty.
Confucian scholars all over the world think that the annual performance is unfair and think that they are better than the students. This is completely their illusion.
All the candidates recommended by officials above the magistrate of the 2,000-Shi County were from the great Chu clan and were diligent in their studies since childhood.
Their family has countless books, read thousands of books since childhood, and broadened their horizons with the elders of the family. How could this vision and this insight be comparable to that of poor Confucianism?
I think it cannot be changed!"
Immediately, a censor jumped out and said, "The nobles and officials recommend them are almost all relatives, and they are inevitably biased. The selected candidates are becoming increasingly mediocre.
I believe that we should invite respected elders from the Great Chu, impartial scholars of the times, to be employed as "Zhongzheng Officials", and the Zhongzheng Officials will evaluate talents from all over the world and select talents for the court.
I propose that the ‘annual system’ be changed to the ‘zhongzheng system’. Select the talented and capable people in the world and be appointed as officials according to their talents.”
This is a discussion among the Confucian officials for a long time and have already had a preliminary idea, which is to change the "Year-Cheng system" to the "Zhongzheng system".
It is still a recommendation, but the identity of the recommender must be changed.
Let the great scholar of the times, who is the highest prestige in the Great Chu serve as the recommender.
This not only convinces the public, ensures sufficient fairness, but also ensures that a large number of Confucian scholars are recommended to the court and become officials.
However, this is equivalent to depriving the nobles of the family of recommendation, how could they bear it?
An official immediately jumped out to refute, "Hmph, Zhongzheng? Can you avoid private teaching? Not necessarily.
As great as Master Kong, he also recommended two of his own disciples! Even Master Kong cannot be the first to be honest, who can be the first to be honest?!"
"The two disciples Dong Xianliang and Chao Fangzheng recommended by Lord Kong are not clan scholars, but ordinary Confucian scholars, but they are second and fourth in the palace examination in high school this year. It can be seen that Lord Kong is the one who recommends the wise. He does not avoid relatives, but who can do it except Lord Kong?!
But the remaining 2,000-stone officials and marquis are all mediocre people, which is to favor wealthy families. How can the poor families in the world have a day to stand out?!"
The censors of the Censorate and the ministers of the Prime Minister's Office looked excited and started to curse each other.
The military officers of the Taiwei Mansion were extremely silent.
The Grand Marshal Li Rong did not speak, and he rarely expressed his opinions except military affairs. The rest of the military officers naturally did not dare to speak at will.
Chu Tianxiu stood in the court and was determined to join the fierce battle, but he had no chance and felt panic.
Why no one asked me for my opinion?
I am the number one in the palace examination!
When I, a little humble man, is like a transparent person, alas!
