On the contrary, it had some contrary meanings, directly strengthening the court's control over public opinion and cohesion.
If Ying Yuan really knew about this, he would probably stand on the top floor of the Zhaixing Tower and jump down without hesitation.
Of course, you won’t die even if you jump.
After all, he is protected by the true dragon energy and the body of the Holy King.
True dragon energy can resist magic damage.
The Holy King Body can resist physical damage.
It's hard to even want to die.
Tell me if it’s uncomfortable or not.
...
A few days later.
After the court announced the news of the imperial examination system to the whole country.
The major families seemed to be going crazy.
Some of the children from aristocratic families said that the imperial court was dishonest and stabbed them in the back.
So giving money to the court to build the canal was just shooting oneself in the foot?
Who the hell can tolerate this?
However, after talking about it, they decided to endure it.
For example, the Lu family of Fanyang.
Some elites and elders in the clan are discussing the imperial examination:
“The reason why our family has been able to stand firm and prosper for hundreds or even thousands of years is because of the teachings of sages.
Now, the imperial court had invented movable type printing, built official schools, and established an imperial examination system.
It can be predicted that from now on, not only will the children of our noble families be able to serve as officials in the court, but even the poor people can do so.
This is a disaster for our family. What do you think we should do? "
"Of course we have to protest to the court. If the court does not withdraw its decision, then we will mobilize the poor people.
"They are causing trouble all over the country. At worst, we, several noble families, can join forces and create a chaotic world at the end of the dynasty!"
"Creating a chaotic world? Do you think it's still the same as before? Do you think Your Majesty is an incompetent ruler?
The provincial governors have already pledged their loyalty to His Majesty. Why are you still inciting the poor?
If you go and ask around on the streets, you will find out how prestigious the imperial court and the emperor are among the people!
You still want to create chaos? I think you are just dreaming!"
"So what do you think we should do? We can't just stick our necks out and wait for the imperial court to chop us off, right?"
“…”
More and more people started arguing.
Finally, Lu Zhi, the patriarch of the Lu family, slowly spoke:
"Old Three is right. Thinking of creating a chaotic world now is just wishful thinking.
Now, the only thing we can do is probably compromise with the court."
"What does the clan leader mean?" a younger member of the clan asked slightly surprised.
Lu Zhi once served as the Minister of War.
That was in the early days of the previous emperor.
Now he has retired from the army for many years and rarely cares about the affairs of the court.
He said bluntly: "Even if the imperial examination system is promulgated, do you think those poor people will be able to afford to go to school?
Even if we can afford to go to school, how can we compare with the children of aristocratic families with hundreds of years of history?
In my opinion, this imperial examination system is also an opportunity for our family.
In the past, when we recommended talents to the court, the emperor would think twice before making a decision.
Sometimes, even the identity of being a child of aristocratic family is a burden in the court.
But now it’s different. With the imperial examination system, young people in our clan can also participate.
By then, if we pass the imperial examination and enter officialdom, even the emperor will have no choice but to use our children from aristocratic families."
As soon as the words fell.
Many people thought what he said made sense.
Therefore, the Lu family of Fanyang immediately expressed their support for the court's promotion of the imperial examination system.
As a result, a series of chain reactions occurred.
