Chapter 160 An emperor who does not reflect is not a good ruler



Therefore, it is even more impossible for them to oppose His Majesty's decision at this critical juncture. This will not benefit them at all.

If they really dared to oppose the imperial court, they would have taken the opportunity to cause chaos during the construction of the canal. However, until now, they have only shown their unwavering loyalty to the imperial court.

From this, it can be seen that the so-called major families have long been intimidated by Your Majesty's supreme imperial power.

For Your Majesty, establishing an official school is just a trial run, and its purpose is to see the reaction of the aristocratic families.

In the end, the aristocratic families really have no intention of opposing Your Majesty. In that case, why not take this opportunity to push the boat forward and thoroughly promulgate the imperial examination system?"

His meaning was clear.

The aristocratic families also did their best in the construction of the canal and official schools, and even made a lot of sacrifices for it. They did this to gain the emperor's trust.

Because in their eyes, as long as Ying Yuan is alive, the Qin Dynasty will always be named Ying.

Therefore, whether openly or secretly, they dared not disobey the emperor's orders.

If they dare to do any small actions, they will definitely be targeted by the emperor, and then all their previous efforts to show their loyalty to the court will be in vain, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

This Li Linfu was the next head of the Longxi Li family.

But for him, the Li family seemed to have no other choice but to express their loyalty to the emperor.

Otherwise, judging from the emperor's determination to reduce the influence of aristocratic families, it would not be long before a transcendent family like the Li family would collapse.

Emperor Ying Yuan is the most virtuous ruler that has appeared in the Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years. There is no room for doubt and even less for resistance!

Cai Jing understood the hidden meaning in his words, nodded, looked at Cao Cao, and asked with a smile, "Does the King of Wei think that Lord Li's proposal is feasible?"

Hearing this, the latter clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister Cai is very sincere. I believe that since Your Majesty has decided to promulgate the imperial examination system, he must have thought through the consequences.

As Minister Li said, the major families would definitely not fall out with the court at this critical juncture.

They dare not, dare not become an enemy of Your Majesty. Since the aristocratic families are already weakened, why not do this thing that goes with the flow?"

The aristocratic families did make great efforts to help the imperial court build canals and establish official schools.

This made it a bit difficult for them to bear.

Although the imperial court is very weak now, it still has 600,000 troops far away in Japan.

But at this time, the power of the aristocratic families is also weak!

In other words, this is an opportunity for the court.

Cao Cao would only call himself a humble official in front of Cai Jing.

In front of Qin Hui and others, he would usually call himself "I" or "This King".

Cai Jing nodded, looked at Qin Hui, and continued to ask, "What do you think, Minister Qin?"

In the eyes of the latter, this is no longer a simple dispute over the imperial examination system.

It's a phase battle.

Because Cao Cao stood on the side of the ministers who supported the promulgation of the imperial examination system.

And those ministers were generally close to Cao Cao.

The vast majority of those who disagreed were officials who were promoted by him.

Originally, Cai Jing did not agree with the promulgation of the imperial examination system at this time, but after being persuaded by Cao Cao and Li Linfu, he seemed to change his mind.

In other words, if he continued to oppose it, he would be standing against Cai Jing and the emperor.

In this case, can he still serve as the right prime minister after Cai Jing?

If I agree, wouldn’t I be defeated by Cao Cao in today’s discussion?

However, as a prince, can he really set a precedent and sit on the throne of the head of all officials?

I'm afraid it's impossible?

In that case, what's the harm in bowing to him today?

Thinking of this, Qin Hui slowly said, "Prime Minister Cai, I believe that now is indeed a good time to promulgate the imperial examination system."

With his approval, the officials no longer had any dissenting voices.

...

Today, Ying Yuan has just arrived at Daji's palace.

He is in a good mood now.

What I imagined in my mind was the scene of officials opposing the promulgation of the imperial examination system and then fighting in the Xuanzheng Hall.

However, little do people know.

His plan failed again.

The officials did not fight or quarrel, but unanimously agreed with his resolution.

When he heard the news, he thought for a moment that he might have heard it wrong.

Or is it that the decision he made is actually beneficial to the country?

It won’t affect the country’s destiny?

Ying Yuan, who once believed that he could destroy his country due to his incompetence, gradually lost his former arrogance.

When his ministers began to agree with his decision at this moment, he had already learned to reflect.

Reflect on this: if this is done, will it reduce the national strength and affect the national destiny?

Is it a foolish move?

he...

He has become a mature tyrant.

Oh no, in the eyes of officials and people, he is a wise ruler.
