When the canal was being built, Ying Yuan said he wanted to establish an official school.
Yes, after all, the imperial court is tight on funds, and with the support of the major clans, it can be accomplished.
When the decision was made to recapture Yizhou, it was a matter of national honor and disgrace, and the rise and fall of the nation, so naturally we had to give strong support.
Even if it means the national treasury is depleted, it is worth it.
Yizhou was finally recovered, and when all officials thought that the court could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Your Majesty is determined to attack Japan.
This is also a wise move.
After all, once Japan is defeated, at least a hundred years of peace can be brought to the coastal areas.
Therefore, all officials worked together to make the court's mechanism operate, trying not to affect the passionate fighting of the soldiers on the front line.
But!
The battle in Japan is not over yet.
Now the imperial examination system is to be promulgated.
In this case, how can those noble families get what they want?
In recent years, they have devoted a lot of energy to the court, hoping to let the court see their attitude of submission.
But what about now?
The court ignored the old relationship between the noble family and insisted on doing so even when the court was overwhelmed...
Wouldn't this cause chaos in the world?
Although it is a wise move, it is obviously inappropriate at the moment.
After hearing what Cai Jing said, Ying Yuan became even more excited.
The more you oppose this matter, the more it means that this matter can indeed have an impact on the court.
In this case, we must not listen to their opinions.
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan blurted out: "I know what you mean, and I understand your difficulties even more.
But you have difficulties, the ministers have difficulties, the court has difficulties, but I also have difficulties!
The imperial examination system is a national policy formulated by me. Even if there are numerous difficulties and dangers, I will overcome them together with you."
As soon as the words fell.
These third-rank ministers who held the core power of the country began to whisper to each other.
They spoke to each other in low voices, but Ying Yuan could still hear them.
To sum up, they believed that if the imperial examination system was promulgated too early, it would probably arouse resentment from aristocratic families across the country.
If they take the opportunity to unite and do evil, the court will be put in a passive position.
After all, there are 600,000 Qin soldiers on the Japanese side.
Once uncontrollable unrest breaks out within the country, especially in the absence of troops to suppress it, it will be an unprecedented disaster.
The aristocratic families definitely have this power.
Because they control the economic lifeline of the Qin Dynasty.
At the same time, they will also have many ways to curb the court.
Since they all said so, the imperial examination system must be implemented!
If the country is destroyed because of this, and the Qin Dynasty can be replaced by a new one, wouldn’t my ultimate dream be fulfilled?
Where can I find such a good thing!
Li Linfu, the Minister of Personnel, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the country is in need of talents. I agree with your Majesty's decision and will promulgate the imperial examination system effective immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was criticized by many ministers.
For a moment, the entire Xuan Zheng Hall looked like an old lady bargaining in the vegetable market and then arguing with the vendor, attracting a lot of onlookers.
However, Cao Cao, the King of Wei and the Minister of War, and Qin Hui, the Left Prime Minister, did not speak.
The other ministers all expressed their opinions.
Some agree, some disagree.
In general, the majority of ministers still do not agree with the promulgation of the imperial examination system now.
The more they quarreled and the more chaotic the court became, the happier Ying Yuan became.
He was even worried that they would not be able to quarrel freely because of his presence, so he left.
All the officials were left staring blankly.
Ying Yuan thought, if I leave, will they have to fight?
However, when the ministers saw him leave Xuanzheng Hall, they suddenly fell silent.
Cai Jing, the head of all officials, looked around at everyone and snorted coldly, "This is Xuanzheng Hall, where His Majesty handles state affairs. How can it be a place for you to throw tantrums and curse?"
Qin Hui echoed, "You are all well-read people. How could you do such a vulgar thing in front of His Majesty? Now that you have angered His Majesty, are you happy?"
Supervisory Censor Guo Kai said: "Prime Minister Cai and Prime Minister Qin, you have just heard that Lord Li agrees with Your Majesty to promulgate the imperial examination system as soon as possible.
However, this is the current situation both inside and outside the country. After the war against Japan is over, we must prevent other countries from taking the opportunity to invade.
Nowadays, who has the energy to maintain the imperial examination system?"
How should I put it about Guo Kai? He is a bit smart.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to analyze the current situation clearly.
His greatest ability is to betray his own people.
Now, is he concerned about the consequences after the imperial examination system is promulgated?
No!
What he was concerned about was whether the tycoons who supported him and gave him money would be angry once the imperial examination system was promulgated.
Then, in a fit of rage, he cut off his own source of income.
So he will definitely oppose this matter.
However, he still didn't dare to touch Ying Yuan's brow.
So I can only wait until he leaves before I stand up and bark.
Among the ministers in the court, who doesn’t know Guo Kai’s temperament?
Hearing his righteous words, many people secretly rolled their eyes.
Cai Jing knew that Li Linfu was definitely not someone who would attack without a purpose, so he asked:
"Minister Li, please tell me what you think."
Hearing this, Li Linfu bowed and said, "To Prime Minister Cai, I believe that it is precisely because the major families have devoted their heart and soul to the construction of the canal and the establishment of official schools for the court.
