Back then, in Yecheng, in order to select good talents, His Majesty the Emperor held a ceremony for talent discussion.

More than 1,300 scholars participated in the ceremony of talent discussion. They gathered together and took an exam based on their talents. Only those with excellent grades could enter the Wei government office.

A total of 300 people were selected, and the number of officials who were still working for the Wei Empire so far is 267.

The cultural and moral qualities of the officials selected for the examination are fully visible.

Compared with the three-fifths of the corruption rate of the culprit selected by the advisory system, which is better or worse, as long as you are a normal person, you can see.

Xu Jing began to think about whether he could use the example of that big test to make certain changes to the recommendation system?

After hard thinking, Xu Jing thought about the talent selection system called [Imperial Examination].

The core idea is to abandon recommendations and use subject-divided examinations as the only way to select talents.

Any student who tries to obtain an official position can register by himself and then take the exam. After passing the exam and being admitted, he can be awarded an official position.

Xu Jing believes that in this way, talents who are helpful to the country can be truly selected, rather than waste who only know how to eat, drink, play and do not even do any normal things, nor will they choose a group of people who deceive the world and steal reputation because they are too morally stubborn.

To sum up, Xu Jing believes that the system of recommendation has proven to be in fact failed, and this rule that has been operating for hundreds of years has reached the time when it has to be broken and reorganized.

It is now, break it, completely break it, reintegrate it, and create a brand new system with strong vitality.

After handing over this memorial, Guo Peng was very satisfied.

"Su Yuan, take this memorial to the cabinet to copy it, and then pass it to every official office. I want all officials to know that Xu Jing has done something amazing!"

"Abide by the order!"

Su Yuan immediately took people to the cabinet and found Cao Cao, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

"Sir Cao, this is Your Majesty's order, so that you can find enough people to copy dozens of this memorial and send it to major offices, and no one is allowed to be missed."

"I see."

Cao Cao took the memorial and was very confused. He didn't know what kind of memorial was something the emperor needed to publicize.

Generally, only very important political decisions will make the emperor choose to make it public. Is this also a major political decision?

After turning it open and looking at it for a few seconds, Cao Cao was stunned.

This is……

Reform of the selection system?

Change the imperial examination into...the imperial examination?

Cao Cao was shocked and immediately began to study it carefully. He soon realized that once this system was established, it would be a decisive victory over the scholar class, and the scholar class would lose the rank of officials who had been in control for a hundred years.

Is this going to go to a complete war with the scholars?

Is this... what Guo Peng means?

Then Cao Cao saw the cousin, Xu Jing.

Cao Cao's expression became very surprised.

Xu Jing?

Xu Jing?

That Xu Jing?

Xu Jing, who was being beaten and killed by all scholars under the pressure of the emperor?

He's crazy?

Because this matter was too serious, Cao Cao couldn't help but start wondering if Xu Jing's mental state was a little problem.

Then he finally confirmed that Xu Jing's mental state was fine, because if there was a problem with his mental state, he could not make such constructive policy suggestions.

Without a trace of hesitation, he immediately began to scold Xu Jing for being a thief. He immediately began to write a memorial to participate in Xu Jing, and strongly demanded that Guo Peng dismiss Xu Jing. A considerable number of officials also demanded that Xu Jing be executed directly to correct the national style.

All central government offices are the same. The scholars and bureaucrats who account for more than 70% of the entire group are collectively angry, angry, and excited.

Even when Guo Peng asked Xu Jing to thoroughly investigate the moral and academic level of the candidates in previous years, these officials were not so excited.

It can be seen that this is their true lifeline, where their real pain feet lie.

Unlike the attitude of the service officials directly exploding, the chief executives of service officials at all levels were a little hesitant.

Of course they were shocked to see such melody, but as Chief Executives, their status did not allow them to act so emotionally.

They let their subordinates indulge indulgence, but they themselves were quite calm and looked at the memorial carefully. The more they looked, the more they felt colder and the more they looked, the more they became afraid.

Because no matter what angle, this policy is not something that someone like Xu Jing can propose, and Guo Peng even directly handed over this memorial to various official offices to let everyone know in advance, which is clearly a temptation.

The emperor was afraid that he was very concerned about this system and was quite satisfied with it. It can even be said that this system itself was secretly planned by the emperor. Now it happened to be taken out to let Xu Jing charge forward, and he hid behind to see the reactions of the ministers.

Although I don’t know how Xu Jing fell to this point.

Could it be that there are a lot of handles that the emperor has taken?

This is not important anymore. Xu Jing is already a pawn who charges for the emperor.

If the officials reacted fiercely, the emperor would probably take a step back. If the officials did not react fiercely, the emperor would gain a better position.

Although the chief officials at all levels were hesitant, they were still more dissatisfied.

The emperor has been too much for a while. He has been struggling and troubled, and has been struggling and has been struggling for the officials to live in poverty. He has also cracked down on the classical inheritance family and thoroughly investigated the scholars. Now he has to reform the system of recommendation and enrollment, and to carry out the imperial examinations, which will make everyone live and die.

This is really unreasonable.

Although you are the emperor, you can't be too unreasonable, right?

Except for the main leaders of the Censorate and the Staff Office, the attitudes of the other chief officials at all levels gradually became clear.

As people in the court's decision-making circle, the main leaders of the Shangshutai, the Censorate and the Staff are quite contradictory.

First, their status is here and they are close to the emperor.

Most of them were promoted by the emperor himself and belonged to the emperor's confidants.

Like Wang Can, that is Guo Peng's old official.

Like Zao Zhi, he was also Guo Peng's old official.

Zhang Zhao is also Guo Peng's old official.

Guo Yi simply belongs to the Guo family.

Cheng Yu himself and even Guo Peng’s retainer.

Tian Feng's family also has a daughter in Guo Peng's inner palace.

Not to mention Xu Jing.

Only the Minister of the Ministry of War and Ministry of Foreign Affairs are Dong Zhao, and Xinpi, who are slightly less direct.

It can be seen that the relationship between high-ranking officials and the emperor is basically tied together.

For them, as scholars, their attitude is of course dissatisfied with this and thinks that this will harm their interests.

However, as officials and old officials of the emperor, they did not dare to express clear opposition to the emperor's intentions.

Similar to Tian Feng, Guo Hong and Guo Jia, who are relatives of the royal family, said they would object, but they didn’t know where to start.

It was just that the recommendation was changed to the imperial examination. This change was indeed too big, involving the entire circle of scholars.

If this is really implemented, it will be like forcibly surrendering the scholars back to their original state, and they will compete for official positions with poor children and mud-legged men.

Then how could they be willing?
