As soon as Cao Cao said this.
The most official answer is naturally self-evident.
"Your Highness, the interests of the court are naturally paramount. However, what we are discussing now is not which interest is higher.
Would a hasty implementation of the imperial examination system have the opposite effect? What kind of impact would this have?
Minister of Personnel Li Linfu spoke slowly.
As the most powerful figure in the Ministry of Personnel, he naturally has the final say on the imperial examination system.
Moreover, if nothing goes wrong, he will most likely become the head of the Longxi Li family in the future.
Out of a sense of responsibility for his family, Li Linfu could not possibly agree to the imperial examination.
But after all, this matter was decided by Emperor Ying Yuan himself.
Therefore, he could not immediately and strongly oppose it in person.
You need to have a tactful attitude so that you can have enough room to maneuver.
The imperial examination system is a huge issue.
It is a precedent never seen before.
Once implemented, it will inevitably have an impact on the existing historical process.
It can be said without hesitation that if the imperial examination system could be verified and successful in the Qin State.
Then, even if Ying Yuan had no merit in expanding the territory, scholars in later generations would still respect him as the "Emperor of the Ages".
“When the canal was first built, you were somewhat pessimistic about it, but what about now?
Are there still voices in the court who refuse to build the canal?
Your Majesty will never change his mind about what he wants to do because of the obstruction of two or three people.
Since Your Majesty has decided to implement the imperial examination system nationwide, this matter must be accomplished.
If you still have different opinions, please keep them. I invited you here to discuss the establishment of a government school."
Cai Jing said slowly.
As the head of all officials, as soon as he spoke, the voices of opposition indeed became much smaller.
They opposed it mainly because they were worried that the imperial examination system would affect the interests of the aristocratic families.
This is what is bound to happen.
However, as the saying goes, one should be loyal to the emperor while receiving his salary.
Some officials who came from aristocratic families had not yet forgotten their official uniforms.
So, in the end, whether the court wants to accomplish this or not, they will do their best.
...
After everyone dispersed one after another.
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Most of them come from aristocratic families. If the news of the imperial examination system spreads..."
Cai Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty just told me about this matter, so I am telling you now, hoping that those with ulterior motives will spread it first.
I must see what the attitudes of those noble families are, so that I can prescribe the right remedy."
His answer was within Cao Cao's expectations.
"The establishment of a government school has nothing to do with your Ministry of War. You just need to help me keep an eye on the canal construction and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Cai Jing highly recognized Cao Cao's abilities.
They believed that he had great talent for governing the world.
As expected, Your Majesty has the ability to judge people.
Cao Cao clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Prime Minister Cai, I know what to do."
Cai Jing nodded contentedly, "I'm confident in your work."
...
at the same time.
Shandong Road.
Jeju.
The 800-li Liangshan Marsh is extremely vast.
Clouds cover the top of the peak, and the sun sets over the mountainside.
The shadows of the mountains are deep and the shade of the locust trees is gradually disappearing.
At this time, Song Jiang had brought many of his brothers to join the Heavenly King Chao Gai.
The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet two years ago caused quite a stir everywhere.
And this Chao Gai even took a few brothers to rob the birthday gift.
Later, he was wanted by the government, and in desperation, he went to Liangshan.
After plotting to kill Wang Lun, the former leader of Liangshan, he officially became the leader of Liangshan.
Because Liangshan Marsh was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the national crisis was still ongoing, the government did not pursue Chao Gai too relentlessly.
This directly led to him spending a full two years to turn the entire 800-li water area into his own territory.
He has become the leader of the green forest forces in the north.
Many so-called heroes who are wanted by the government will turn to him when they are desperate.
Chao Gai was a cheerful person who welcomed everyone who came to him.
Among the people he recruited were Song Jiang and others.
This day.
When Song Jiang heard that the imperial court was planning to build a canal that would reach the 800-li Liangshan Marsh, he went to see Chao Gai, bowed deeply, and said:
"Brother Chao Gai, I'm sure you already know that the imperial court is planning to build a canal.
For us here on Liangshan, becoming bandits is not a solution.
If we can be recruited by the imperial court and help build the canal, then we brothers will have a bright future!"
Since I came to Liangshan, I have seen so many brothers and friends there.
He then had the idea of taking them with him to serve the court.
In this way, you will definitely be valued by the court!
Although Chao Gai was a generous man who loved to make friends in the underworld, he was a little impatient when encountering problems. He slammed the table and shouted:
"Song Jiang! I treated you like a brother, and this is how you repay me? Serving the court? Becoming a lackey? Unless I die!"
Robbing the birthday gift is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family.
He wouldn't be so foolish as to fall into a trap.
However, when it comes to the art of political manipulation and tolerance, Chao Gai is far inferior to Song Jiang. The latter hurriedly clasped his fists and said:
"Brother! How can you look at me like this? I am of one mind with you, and always will be.
