"The Queen Mother won't allow it!"
The queen expressed her attitude firmly in four words.
In the past, she would express her opinions before Zhao Ning made a decision, but in the end she would definitely let Zhao Ning make the decision himself.
However, this time, she gave an irrefutable attitude.
It's too dangerous!
It’s too dangerous!
The world has always been ruled by aristocracy. From the Zhou emperor to the barons with only a little power, everyone has his own fiefdom.
Power, land, population, these things are the life of the nobles!
The imperial examination opened up a channel for common people to rise up, and all the talented people in the world became disciples of the monarch, which would inevitably strengthen the royal power. If there were no aristocrats in the world, this would surely be the system that all monarchs dreamed of.
It’s a pity that this world has always been a world of aristocrats, and the imperial examination is the death of aristocrats.
If the Zhou emperor was not respected by the princes, Zhou would be destroyed.
If the princes are not respected by the domestic families, the vassal states may be destroyed.
Especially in the case of the State of Li, the Zhao clan could not absolutely suppress the Wei and Han families. Now if they promote the imperial examination system to dig out the roots of the aristocracy, what difference would that make to them being self-destructive?
Not to mention Zhao Ning, even if the Kingdom of Li was founded a thousand years ago, the number of deaths of all the monarchs combined would not be enough.
So the queen's eyes were very sharp, and she only hoped that Zhao Ning could recognize himself and retreat when he encountered difficulties.
Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. Although I am yearning for the imperial examination system, I understand the difficulties and dangers involved. Given the current situation in Li, it is extremely dangerous to implement the imperial examination system. However, if we don't do it in this lifetime, we won't do it in the future. I won't change the system rashly, and I can't change the system rashly. But I must leave soil for the imperial examination system. The Zhao family is full of talents, and sooner or later they will be able to open up a new world."
"this……"
The queen looked at Zhao Ning's calm expression and couldn't help feeling a little dazed, as if she saw the heroic young man of those years.
But that young man has now become an old man, hiding in a secret room, barely surviving.
She sighed softly, "But Ning'er, you have to understand that you are only the crown prince now, and you have not yet ascended the throne! On the other side of the throne, Pingling Jun is still eyeing you covetously. Your position as crown prince is indeed very stable now, but this is also the result of the balance of the major families. If the imperial examination system really shows signs of change, not to mention the Wei and Han families, I'm afraid even the Zhao clan will drive you off!"
Zhao Ning was silent. This was indeed a big problem.
The queen patted Zhao Ning's shoulder gently and said, "Don't mention the imperial examination again. Even if you want to mention it, at least wait until you ascend the throne!"
Zhao Ning nodded seriously: "Yes!"
The queen said nothing more, shook her head and left Qingjiang Palace.
Zhao Ning sat at his desk, looking at the papers on the table in silence.
On the paper were all her fantasies about the imperial examination system. Although she had only heard Ying Wuji propose this concept today, her political acumen was enough for her to add many details.
However, there was now a huge bloody handprint printed on these contents, which was left by the queen when she slammed the table just now.
"call……"
She leaned back, resting her hands on her head and looking at the beams, feeling somewhat curious.
In a world with the imperial examination system, how did that kid Ying Wuji come up with this idea?
She wanted to enter that fictional world and take a look, because she knew that it would be difficult for her to see this become a reality in her lifetime.
Are people in Gan country so creative?
Shang Yang's reforms changed the weak and miserable state of Qian State and gave rise to a powerful country in this desolate and cold land.
Now Ying Wuji has come up with the idea of the imperial examination system. This idea is more fanciful than Shang Yang's method, more provocative to the nobles, and more dangerous.
Shang Yang died a miserable death...
Will I die more miserably than him?
well……
I should have not met Ying Wuji earlier. Changing the imperial examination system was an impossible task, but I heard it from him.
It is like a seed with extremely strong vitality, which takes root and sprouts wildly as soon as it lands in the heart. No matter how hard you try to avoid it, you cannot avoid being touched.
Otherwise, go see him tomorrow.
Let’s see how the imperial examination system was implemented in the world he created.
…
Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Asshole!"
"Clang clang..."
The copper cup bounced a long way on the ground.
Luo Yan was so angry that his face turned blue. He never expected that Hua Chao not only did not leave Ying Wuji, but instead composed a drama with him, openly satirizing himself as a father?
Even clay figures have some temper.
The cold wind blows all over my face, and my son's rebellion breaks my heart.
Her words were like ice picks piercing my heart, and as a father, I was really hurt!
Luo Yan covered his chest and remained silent for a long time.
Luo Ming stood aside, not daring to move.
For a long, long time.
Luo Ming spoke cautiously: "Dad..."
Luo Yan was sad and angry: "I really indulged her too much. I wanted to get along with her as a loving father, but I didn't expect that what I got in return was hostility and alienation. If I don't teach her a lesson, she will jump into the fire pit in front of me sooner or later! Sanlang, bring people to close this bookstore tomorrow!"
Luo Ming was shocked: "Dad! This..."
Luo Yan said coldly: "Are you questioning Dad's decision?"
“I don’t dare!”
Luo Ming lowered his head quickly, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that Luo Yan would actually go to such extremes. Banning the book but not the store was not enough for him. Was he going to directly break off relations with the Ganguo?
Wanqiu, the stepmother at the side, looked a little reluctant: "Brother Yan! Hua Chao is just a child after all. It's normal for her to feel wronged and throw a tantrum. She is a good girl, but she just lacks love in her heart. If you let her do it this time, she will definitely remember your kindness."
Luo Ming wanted to laugh when he heard this. This stepmother is only in her teens, but she pretends to be mature and a good person. Luo Yan is angry now. Do you think he will listen?
I gave you the name "Wanqiu", do you really think of yourself as Hua Wanqiu?
Luo Yan: "Okay! Wanqiu, I'll listen to you!"
Luo Ming: “???”
Ah, this, this, this...
Do you agree now?
No psychological struggle at all?
Luo Yan waved his hand and said, "Sanlang, go back to your room and sleep. Don't get involved in the bookstore's affairs anymore!"
Luo Ming was confused: "Then should I still take people to the bookstore tomorrow?"
Luo Yan was a little impatient: "Didn't I tell you not to get involved? I'll find someone to handle this matter! Wanqiu, it's getting late, let's go back to sleep!"
Having said that, he put his arm around Wanqiu's waist and prepared to go back to the room. Although the anger on his face had not yet dissipated, his expression was no longer as stiff.
Luo Ming was confused and didn't know what was going on, but it was okay, the bookstore was saved. Although his elder sister was one step closer to the fire pit, at least she wouldn't be too sad this time.
But at this moment.
"Master! Young Master Yan is asking for an audience!"
Luo Yan said without even turning his head: "Get this guy who is fanning the flames out!"
Luo Ming: “…”
