Chapter 0165 End of the text
There is a sentence in the new law that states that if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner. This sentence has existed for a long time, but it was only brought up again in the Xin Dynasty.
However, Yan Dynasty has no prince, so in Qu Yunmie's words, the emperor's wedding and the soldiers' wedding should be fake. ...
He no longer treated his subordinates harshly. He only had three days off for a once-in-a-lifetime wedding. Is this what a human being does?!
But no matter how Qu Yunmie protested, Xiao Rong said that there were only three days. He even felt that three days were too much and they should only be given one day. There were so many things to do in the court, and none of them needed people. It would be good to have three days.
Qu Yunmie disagreed: "I was fine when I went out for six days before, they didn't need me!"
Xiao Rong looked at him: "Yes, but they need me."
Qu Yunmie: “…”
They raced against time to get through these three days, and when the normal court was restored, everyone saw that Qu Yunmie had dark circles under his eyes, but Xiao Rong was still as energetic as ever. When he saw them all looking at him, Xiao Rong would turn around and give them a sweet smile.
Everyone: “…” Demon Queen!
As the leader of the liquidation of the aristocratic families, Xiao Rong has been hated to death by these children of the aristocratic families, but they only made trouble in the first few months. When the news of the examination to select officials spread throughout the world and the first Autumn Examination officially began, no one cared about them anymore. Everyone wanted to know whether this Autumn Examination could be held.
Of course it can be done. Some people have already started placing bets. This bet is not gambling, but those ministers in the court who have a strong sense of crisis want to take this opportunity to win over disciples for themselves. In case their own families are also liquidated, they can only rely on their disciples to support themselves.
Xiao Rong didn't care about this. These disciples were not stupid. They wanted to work hard for their whole lives just by giving them a few gold cakes and some benefits? They were not trained by these noble families. Unless these noble families were willing to spend a lot of money and cultivate them with all their strength, but then again, how could the noble families who value family background and origin today devote all their strength to cultivating a poor boy?
If there were some flexible aristocratic families that decided to transform themselves, Xiao Rong wouldn't care at all. What he wanted was for the aristocratic families to disappear, not for all the nobles and powerful families to disappear.
The liquidation can be completed within a few months, but it will probably take several years to completely eliminate the influence of the aristocratic family, so Xiao Rong is not in a hurry. He does his work step by step. If someone shows up, he will suppress that person, so that there will be no delay.
This time the Yan Dynasty is orthodox, so there will no longer be people looking down on them and unwilling to participate. The first year's Autumn Examination was quite popular, and many people came from far and wide to seek an opportunity. It is worth mentioning that Xiao Yi also participated, and finally got the eighth place. Xiao Rong didn't know if anyone gave him a break. After all, it was the first year, and there were many omissions that they didn't notice, and everything was not particularly formal. It is really possible that others gave Xiao Yi a high ranking in order to please him.
But Xiao Yi was no longer the kid who foolishly asked Xiao Rong if he was not cheating. He accepted the title calmly and was like a fish in water among other scholars. Even the top scholar was not as popular as him. It is true that there was the reason that Xiao Yi's surname was Xiao, but Xiao Rong's reputation was not very good at that time. Some people stood up for the aristocratic families. As a result, Xiao Yi still had so many people following him. He was truly better than his teacher.
Since the imperial court was indeed short of officials, the top four hundred candidates in the first autumn examination would be retained to become officials. Xiao Yi was fifteen years old this year and had never traveled to study. If it were according to Xiao Rong's opinion, he should wait another two years before being allowed to enter the officialdom, but he was determined to take the exam and now he was determined to become an official. After learning that Xiao Rong disagreed, he even came to beg Xiao Rong, saying that he was willing to be an official outside. No one would know him outside and he would not embarrass Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong: “…”
You naughty kid, are you here to beg me or to provoke me?
Xiao Rong said nothing. Qu Yunmie looked at the two brothers and suddenly said, "Let him stay in the capital. We are all family."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Rong's murderous eyes. Qu Yunmie shut up guiltily.
He is not wrong.
Xiao Rong didn't bother to pay attention to him. He didn't like Qu Yunmie intervening in Xiao Yi's education issues, because Qu Yunmie didn't know how to teach a teenager at all. Xiao Yi was obviously eager for quick success, but Qu Yunmie thought it was normal, as teenagers were at the age when they wanted to venture out into the world.
Xiao Yi looked at the way the two of them got along, then lowered his head again.
If he wants to be an official, he will be an official.
Only by being an official can the Xiao family get more help. He knows that his elder brother is very powerful, and he also knows how much his elder brother cares about His Majesty. The emperors in the books are all ruthless and he hopes that day will never come, but he also has to prepare for that day.
If it really comes to that, he will not wait for His Majesty to turn against him, he will turn against His Majesty first.
He is ten years younger than Qu Yunmie. When he is young and strong, Qu Yunmie will be old and weak. He will not stand by and watch Qu Yunmie bully his elder brother, absolutely not!
