The first thousand six hundred and seventy-first chapters have you feel good
"This... sinner's edict is too much."
"How can it be possible? As the emperor, the emperor will naturally bear the responsibility for his mistakes!"
"Well...if the emperor is holy and kind, he should do this for the sake of the people..."
Xuanyuan inspired this advance, which immediately caused discussions among the ministers.
Xu Que sat on the dragon chair, raised his eyebrows, stared straight at Xuanyuan Qiqi, and sneered: "Are you stupid... cough, you took so much trouble to come up with such a plan?"
Damn it, you want me to punish myself?
Are you afraid that you are living in a dream?
To punish this sinner is to admit to the world that he is incompetent!
You are the weird one who is so stupid!
Xu Que immediately waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let us not talk about the sinner edict for now, I have more important things to announce now!"
Xuanyuan Qiqi refused to give in: "Your Majesty, this is a matter of concern to the people of Li, so we cannot delay it!"
Ouch, are you preparing to force yourself into the palace?
Xu Que suddenly became happy, leaned down slightly, and said in a deep voice: "My dear, what I am going to say next is a major matter for the country and the people. Are you sure you want to interrupt me?"
"I don't dare!" Xuanyuan Qifu felt a shiver in his heart. He could tell that Xu Que was already a little impatient. If he continued to force him, he was afraid that this foolish young man would do something ridiculous.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong.
Xuanyuan Wanrong looked straight ahead, looking indifferently, turning a blind eye to Xuanyuan's inspired gaze.
Xu Que's expression was subtle, but he did not say it on the spot. Instead, he declared: "My dear friends, I am announcing today that schools will be built in the country, the recommendation system will be abolished, and the imperial examination system will be established. At the same time, a large-scale construction project will be carried out to build roads across the country."
Wow!
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were shocked!
The school was built for the education of the people, and the officials had no objection.
Building roads across the country is also a good thing, so naturally they can't say anything to refute it.
But the abolition of the recommendation system and the establishment of the imperial examination system directly caused a sensation in the entire court!
The establishment and promotion of officials in the Eastern Tang Dynasty were all based on the recommendation system.
To put it simply, if you want to be an official in the court, you must be recommended by someone who is an official in the court.
But where can ordinary people from poor families find acquaintances who are officials in the court?
This also resulted in that the officials in the court all had their own factions and were involved with each other to control the court.
Those who come from a poor family, no matter how talented and learned they are, will not be able to become officials in the court.
Xu Que's move undoubtedly violated the interests of all officials. He was facing the entire court by one person!
"Your Majesty, no!"
"The recommendation system has been like this since ancient times. The ancestral system cannot be abolished!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Except for a few reformists, everyone else spoke out against it and strongly demanded that Xu Que take back his orders.
Among them, headed by Xuanyuan Qifa, the entire group of relatives reacted the most violently.
People like them relied entirely on recommendation to become officials in the dynasty, and their annual income through recommendation was a lot of money. Xu Que was digging into the roots of his relatives by doing this.
How could they possibly agree?
Listening to these objections, Xu Que still had a smile on his face.
I just want to see you guys jumping around in a hurry, it’s so cute!
"You won't succeed. The imperial rule has been like this for thousands of years. How can it be changed casually?" At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong said lightly.
"You know nothing, just stay aside and watch carefully!" Xu Quepi said directly without smiling.
I am the son of destiny and the leader of the Zhaotian Gang. If I want to carry out reforms, I still have to look at your faces?
Go ahead and eat your shit!
Xu Que thought for a moment and put a gentle smile on his face again: "Since you are so opposed to the imperial examination system, I will consider it again. But what do you think of the other two policies?"
Seeing that Xu Que relaxed, the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he doesn't make recommendations, it's easy to talk about anything. As for building roads and schools, that's all he can do.
"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"
"This move is a lasting achievement, and I am willing to contribute to the Emperor's service."
"I second the proposal."
boom!
Xu Que immediately slapped the table and said excitedly: "Okay! I didn't expect Xuanyuan Aiqing to know my intention so well. Now that the national treasury is empty, I also plan to ask you to donate money. Now, ten or eight schools will be built in various places. A small amount will add up to a lot.
!I wonder how much Xuanyuan Aiqing plans to donate?"
Xuanyuan Qi was stunned.
When did I say I wanted to make a donation? I just said I seconded it... Damn it!
The stupid emperor tricked me!
Xuanyuan Qifa reacted immediately. Do you understand what it means to contribute to feelings?
It's possible to say it, but it's absolutely impossible to pay for it!
Xuanyuan Qifa declined on the spot: "This... my salary still needs to subsidize my family..."
"I heard that Xuanyuan Aiqing went to Baiyun Tower to eat hot pot a few days ago and spent a lot of money in one day. Isn't it possible that you can't even get out this little silver?" Xu Que glanced at him and directly told him what he was going to say next.
Got stuck and went back.
Xuanyuan Qi's face turned as red as pig liver, and he felt puzzled in his heart.
Damn it, how did this idiot know that I spent so much money eating hot pot?
Oh, that seems to be opened by the emperor.
That's okay.
"In that case, I will donate five..." Xuanyuan Qiqi looked pained and raised his hand.
"Fifty thousand taels! Okay, I didn't expect Aiqing to be so heroic. You are worthy of being an important minister of the Eastern Tang Dynasty! It is really great. Such a feat should be told to the world. I am so happy to have such an important minister like you!"
Xu Que didn't wait for him to finish, he slapped the table and stood up, "Let's all applaud Xuanyuan Aiqing!"
Everyone looked at each other and finally clapped reluctantly.
The people present have already realized that the Emotional Emperor is waiting for them here.
Damn it, I wouldn't have eaten that hot pot if I had known better.
Xuanyuan Qifa looked at Xu Que who was shouting loudly in front of him.
Now he wished he could just take the knife and commit the crime of treason and regicide.
Damn it, I originally wanted to donate five hundred taels and it would be enough!
Why are you shouting so loudly here and saying so great!
Why do you have the nerve to say what you want me to say next?
Xuanyuan Qifa finally understood that Xu Que was not donating money at all, but was robbing money!
Xu Que looked at Xuanyuan Qiqi's face that turned blue and white, and sneered in his heart.
You bitch, because you opposed me so fiercely just now, I’ll just cheat you out of money first!
If you don't stay honest, oh no, no matter you are honest or not, you will have a hard time in the future!
…
soon.
Amidst the shouts of Xu Queru's speech, the ministers contributed a lot of money one after another.
After leaving the court, the other courtiers looked at Xuanyuan Qiqi as if they wanted to eat him.
Damn...if you hadn't been against the emperor there, would you have asked us to donate so much?
Xuanyuan Qi was about to cry but had no tears, and felt secretly resentful in his heart.
Dog Emperor! We have finally settled this relationship!
