The truth about the thunder strike in Xuanwu Temple was finally revealed and solved. Since Xiaohunhou no longer pursued the matter, the matter was passed.

Next, it is time to solve the new system.

"My ministers, today's Day in the morning of Wu, we will finalize the new plan. Kong Qing, have you submitted a memorial?"

Xiang Yanran asked.

"I have a report.

I led the Prime Minister's Office to draft a new system plan, suggesting the adoption of the "Zhongzheng system":

He was a respected scholar in our Great Chu Dynasty and was appointed as the Central Official to ensure his impartiality.

The Zhongzheng official selected talents from all the counties of Dachu, recommended to participate in the palace examination, and became an official and an official."

Kong Hanyou handed over a memorial and said immediately.

He thoughtfully and thoughtfully for a long time, but still felt that the "Zhenzhen system" was the most secure, so that more Confucian scholars could be recommended and participated in the government affairs.

This time, thanking Hu Yong's previous lessons, the "annual system of officials recommended by kings and princes and 2,000-stone officials" has been overthrown, and no officials from the nobles of the family stood up to oppose this "Zhongzheng system".

The nobles of the family also accepted the defeat.

OK!

Let’s be the Zhongzheng system!

However, the fight has not stopped.

Even if the new system is adopted, the interests of the nobles of the family must be guaranteed and cannot be taken away by the Confucians.

The key lies in the candidate for Zhongzheng official.

Immediately, a court official from a clan stood up and said, "My little minister, I recommend the censor Wang Su, who supervises all officials, to be the Zhongzheng official.

The Censor is responsible for supervising all officials. Only by being impartial can one be fair! If someone else is replaced, it may not be guaranteed to be fair."

"I'm going to discuss it."

Officials from the aristocratic clan spoke out one after another.

As long as the new leader of the aristocratic clan and Lord Wang Su has the right to recommend, he can still protect the interests of the aristocratic clans.

"Let's wait!"

An censor immediately jumped out, "Prime Minister Kong is the leader of all officials. He is the more suitable candidate for the Zhongzheng official!"

"It's inappropriate. As the head of all officials, the Prime Minister has the power to assess and promote all the lower-level officials every year. How can he be the Zhongzheng official and recommend his sons to the official position?"

"The censor is not good either. As an inspector, if you recommend an official to become an official, it will easily lead to fraud!"

"It's better to choose a great scholar in the opposition to serve as a Zhongzheng official!"

Seeing the court that had been calm for a short time, it suddenly became a pot of porridge.

Officials of the two factions expressed their opinions, blushing and unwilling to give in.

This quarrel took nearly an hour.

The power of Zhongzheng official’s recommendation is too great, and both factions are obviously unwilling to give up.

Chu Tianxiu was yawning. He had been standing in the hall for a long time and was drowsy.

This court battle is so boring!

What are the fighting between the two factions? They just want to recommend their own people. Which one really cares about the Great Chu Dynasty?!

Chu Tianxiu was wondering whether to stand up and whether to simply take out the "Imperial Examination System" that had been implemented for two thousand years in the future?

The imperial examination system was a great artifact for two thousand years. Otherwise, the imperial examination system would not have been allowed to change continuously in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, but every dynasty still carried out the imperial examination.

However, I thought about it.

If he took out the "Imperial Examination System", he would not have gained any benefits!

It’s a loss to contribute a top-notch plan in vain!

This is "intellectual property", the imperial examination system plan, but intellectual property that is more expensive than real money!

Intellectual property rights are paid!

Who paid me?

emperor?

Kong Hanyou of the Confucian school?

Lord Wang Su of the noble family?

Who should I find to pay for this "intellectual property" fee for the imperial examination system plan?

Chu Tianxiu felt whispering in her heart, but she still held back and said nothing. Before she got the benefits, she would definitely not be able to release this ultimate move.

...

It was already evening, but I still couldn't win a suitable result.

The power of Zhongzheng official is extremely strong, and he must have a safe plan that is recognized by all ministers. The biggest difficulty is that both officials of the two factions want to get this position.

The nobles of the clan have lost the privilege of implementing the "annual slogan system" for sixty or seventy years, so they naturally refuse to give in to the Zhongzheng official.

Emperor Xiang Yanran was helpless.

He couldn't hurt the hearts of the old ministers of the clans too much, but he should be more cautious - at least, the officials of the clan faction need to nod their heads and agree, just like Xie Huyong himself offered to resign, the emperor agreed.

Instead of the emperor, forcing them to nod.

It was already sunset, but was it like this fruitless again? I had to wait for the next day of the afternoon?!

no.

We still have to make a concerted effort and quickly finalize the new plan.

This is the new policy of the Gengzi, the first major reform.

Otherwise, it would take another half a month to delay the government affairs of the court.

"The ministers were already quite tired after half a day of discussion. They were having dinner in the palace and had a short rest. They went to court after an hour and continued to discuss.

I will not finalize the new plan tonight, and even if it is late at night, I will not be allowed to leave the court!"

Xiang Yanran said.

He also wants to eat something and make a stomachache.

Let the ministers have a meal in the palace and continue to finalize the new system.

...

The princes and court officials were stunned when they heard this.

Stay in the palace for dinner, and after dinner, continue doing it?

This is an unprecedented precedent.

It seems that the emperor is really determined to come up with a plan tonight. Otherwise, he will not let them go home.

"Dinner, let's have a meal!"

"Only by eating and drinking enough, you can have the strength to argue."

Prime Minister Kong Hanyou said.

The court officials were helpless.

Soon, the imperial kitchen in the palace brought food and delicacies. There were many people in the palace, and dinner was prepared for each harem.

Now, the first one is here to enjoy it for the ministers.

Chu Tianxiu was swaying and sat down next to Kong Hanyou.

Kong Hanyou was about to have a meal when he saw Xiaohunhou coming to chat with him, and he must have something to do. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, Xiaohun, what's the point of giving me advice?"

"Mr. Kong, do you remember the third agreement I submitted to you before?

As long as you are willing to sign, I will give you a big move to protect you Confucian scholars. From then on, there will be no problem in entering the court in large quantities, and there will be no problem in accounting for 70 to 80% of them. The nobles of the clan will definitely not be able to stop it."

Chu Tianxiu whispered.

Kong Hanyou's eyes were strange and silent for a long time.

The first two agreements, "Dong Xianliang owes favors to help Xiao Hunhou become the first chief examiner of the new system", has been taken away by Xiao Hunhou.

The Zhongzheng official is the recommender, not the chief examiner.

The examiner has always been the emperor himself. Kong Hanyou did not mention this matter before the new system was finalized.

The third agreement made Xiao Hunhou the "deputy leader" in the name of the Confucian sect... The position of this deputy leader is a bit ridiculous, nameless, and is similar to the deputy leader.

"Oh, is there such a trick?"

Kong Hanyou said suspiciously.

If Xiao Hunhou could really bring countless Confucian scholars from all over the world into the court, accounting for 70% to 80% of the people, this would be a great achievement for Confucianism. It would be impossible to make Xiao Hunhou become the nominal deputy leader.
To be continued...
