Chapter Three Section 84 The New Official's First Fire
On the morning of the fourth day, I decided not to hide myself anymore. I wrote the summary and planned to start my first career as a new official.
"If you have the money, join in early. If you don't have the money, leave the court!" the eunuch finished.
I bowed and walked out of the banquet: "Your Majesty, I have my own principles!"
"Oh? Lan Aiqing, what's the matter?"
"Today is my fourth day of taking office in the Hanlin Academy. I discovered that the Hanlin Academy has a big loophole in the selection of court talents!" After I finished speaking, Prime Minister Zi gave me a fierce look. I knew that, in fact, the Hanlin Academy
The real biggest person in charge is officially Prime Minister Zi. If I raise the opinion of the Hanlin Academy, it is nothing more than looking for trouble with Prime Minister Zi.
"Lan Aiqing, come and listen."
After the emperor finished speaking, I straightened my chest and said: "In the past, the system of selecting talents in the imperial court was recommended by the five major families and the emperor. If some talents did not get the recommendation, their literary talents would be stifled, or some people would like to study.
We should give up studying literature because of this threshold. Our country, Yunlong, should encourage all people to learn knowledge and mobilize a large number of people to take the imperial examination, so as to attract real talents! Therefore, I hope that the Holy Spirit can abolish the system of recommending letters! To the world
Recruit wise men!”
"Bold!" As soon as I finished speaking, Prime Minister Zi rushed out of the meeting and pointed at me: "The recommendation test is a centuries-old system of our Yunlong Kingdom. Don't you think you can resist?"
"You are the one who is bold!" I yelled loudly, then stepped in front of Prime Minister Zi in two steps: "The Holy Emperor didn't even speak, but Prime Minister Zi refused the lower officials' offer. Could it be that Prime Minister Zi wants to overstep his authority?
"After I said it righteously, a proud smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. Prime Minister Zi's action was obviously to seize the emperor's power, which would lead to beheading!
The emperor slapped the dragon chair hard, and other officials in the palace suddenly panicked. Prime Minister Zi also looked at the emperor with a livid face: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of overstepping my authority. Don't listen to Lan Hanlin's words.
I am just following the tradition passed down by my ancestors and rejecting Lan Hanlin."
"Back off!" The emperor showed a little dignity this time.
I looked at Bai Yueyao proudly, wanting to tell him, did you see it, so what if I offended Prime Minister Zi? However, his expression did not change at all, and instead he gave me a pityful smile.
"Bold Lan Hanlin!" the emperor said, and I was almost frightened. I looked at the emperor in disbelief: "Do you know that your proposal is to overthrow the centuries-old culture of Yunlong Kingdom? Do you know that your actions are against me?
Ancestor’s dissatisfaction?”
"I don't know!" My words did not mean to beg for mercy. I looked at the emperor confidently. I was absolutely right. What was wrong with the proposal I just made? A foolish emperor is a foolish emperor! I can only listen to flattering words!
The emperor's expression was full of anger, I knew I was going to be in trouble...
