Chapter 472 Opening the Imperial Examination and Building a Private School
It was already midnight when Chu Feifan left Zhao Yun's mansion.
He galloped towards the palace on horseback alone, with the night wind blowing gently on his figure, his clothes and green hair fluttering.
He did not pay attention to the conspiracy of Liu Changqin, the crown prince of the Yanjin Empire. He destroyed the blood spirits of hell and fought fiercely with the excavation corps. He had long been immune to hidden crises and remained unchanged in response to all changes.
In the land of Chu, no one is allowed to act arrogantly. Anyone who dares to offend the power of Heaven will be killed!
There was a breeze all night, and in a blink of an eye there was dawn.
At dawn.
All the officials met and the morning court began.
In the Golden Palace, Chu Feifan and all the ministers discussed the matter of welcoming the congratulations from various countries, and finally decided on the place of meeting in the imperial garden of the palace.
After the morning court ended, the officials began busy arranging the back garden, while Chu Feifan was reviewing the memorial in the Yangxin Hall.
Di Renjie inspected the various states and sent back a large number of excerpts every day. He was impartial and selfless, and the excerpts pointed out the criticisms in various parts of Chu one by one, which made Chu Feifan very distressed.
The land stretches and mountains and rivers expand.
However, the bad habits of the previous dynasty were still left over in the state capitals. State officials oppressed the people. Although the Chu State issued a tax exemption order, they still levied exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
The people were miserable, suffering from the fact that the imperial court was thousands of miles away and could only be at its mercy.
In the memorial, Di Renjie denounced state officials and suggested that Chu Feifan re-select state officials, otherwise it would lead to catastrophe sooner or later if things went on like this.
The people do not have enough to eat and cannot feel the warmth of the court. Sooner or later they will launch an uprising.
Moreover, it was repeatedly pointed out in the memorial that all the state governments lied about the situation, and the money they asked the court for help was several times the actual amount.
"boom!"
Chu Feifan raised his hand and threw the memorial on the ground in front of him. His figure suddenly rose up and shouted: "Xiao Guizi, Chu Yanlong is here to see you!"
"Why is the emperor so angry? The dragon's body is the most important thing. You must not hurt your body."
Xiao Guizi had never seen him so angry before. The aura on his figure made people shudder, and his eyes were sharp and sharp, like a sharp blade.
"Slave, please go and ask Guard Chu to come here!"
Xiao Guizi leaned over and picked up the scattered memorials on the ground and placed them on the wooden table, turned around and walked quickly out of the hall.
"etc!"
"Fetch me the Lord General too!"
Chu Feifan was ready to take drastic measures and make a major change in the shortest possible time. He would shuffle all Chu Feifan's officials from various states to let the people of Chu know that the court had not given up on them.
moment.
Fang Xuanling and Chu Yanlong entered the Yangxin Hall under the leadership of Xiao Guizi. They felt the cold atmosphere in the hall. They raised their heads and looked at Emperor Chu in front of them, and saw that his face was ashen and angry.
"Xuanling, look at it!"
Chu Feifan raised his hand and threw down the memorial in front of him. Fang Xuanling picked it up, picked it up, and read the memorial with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Your Majesty, the worms in the country must be eliminated. They are really vampires, and they will definitely dare to attract the attention of the imperial court."
"Xuanling, I have decided to open the imperial examination, select talents, and rapidly expand the vacant positions of officials in various states."
"Yanlong, this is a secret edict prepared by me personally. You should take it and hand it over to Master Di immediately. Tell him that there is no need to hand over the documents to the capital, and that he alone will be responsible for all matters."
Chu Yanlong looked solemn, took the secret edict in front of him with both hands, raised his hands and put them into his sleeves, bowed and saluted, without any pause, turned around and walked quickly out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, the power of the state governments is deeply rooted. They are all ministers of the previous dynasty. If Master Di uses iron-blooded means to suppress it, I am afraid it will arouse the resistance of the state officials. Then I am afraid that Master Di will be in danger."
Fang Xuanling held the memorial tightly in her hands, with a worried look on her face and said firmly in her voice.
"The world belongs to me. It is not the turn of these treacherous sycophants to rule Chu State yet. Xuan Ling does not need to worry. Di Qing has his own way of dealing with the troubles of the common people here."
Chu Feifan was not worried that officials from various states would retaliate against Di Renjie. His own cultivation level was not low, and he had mysterious and unpredictable guards under his command. Officials from various states had hundreds of soldiers under their command, so how could they be his opponents.
"Xuanling, leave the matters of congratulations to other countries to other people. The most important thing for you at the moment is to draw up the matter of selecting talents through the imperial examination."
"Open the imperial examination?"
"That's right, I want to open the imperial examination so that all the poor and ambitious people from all over the world can enter the State of Chu and become officials."
"The imperial examination system is fair and just, and only those who are capable are admitted. There is no nepotism or suspicion of officials protecting each other."
"I have personally drawn up the questions for this imperial examination. The examiners are Xuanling, Zifang, and Boya. The three of you will review the examination papers at the same time. Any talents that can be developed in Chu will be allowed to display their talents."
Chu Feifan acted decisively and never procrastinated. Since he decided to replace officials from various states, he replaced them all at once.
"The emperor's move is a first of its kind. Looking at the entire war continent, I am afraid that no country is like this."
"Xuan Ling, the princes and generals have a lot of talent, and there are also people among the common people who are knowledgeable and talented, and have people with the world's ambitions. I will give them equal opportunities. Whether they can seize them depends on their own destiny."
"There is one more thing that I have always wanted to discuss with Xuan Ling."
"What is it that worries the Emperor so much?"
At this time, Fang Xuanling's eyes were pious, and he once again had a new understanding of Chu Feifan.
The emperor is really capable of fighting on horseback and planning when dismounted, and his way of governing the country is admirable.
"Xuanling, I want to promote schools and private schools in the imperial city and other major cities, so that all children in Chu can receive a good education."
"Open a private school?"
"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision. This move will benefit the country and the people. It will be the greatest blessing to Chu State in the future."
"Xuan Ling means that he agrees with this matter!"
"The emperor has a good plan for the country, how can I disagree with it!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, these two matters will be left to the ministers. Within half a month, the imperial examination selection and the promotion of schools and private schools will be implemented."
Fang Xuanling felt that Chu Feifan really had courage, courage, ideas, and strategies. With such an emperor, there was no need to worry that the Chu Kingdom could not prosper.
Open imperial examinations and build private schools.
He wanted to change the people of Chu State from the most basic point of view, so that the people of Chu State could live a healthy life and know how to be grateful to the court.
Fang Xuanling and Chu Feifan repeatedly discussed the imperial examination and implemented everything. Finally, under Fang Xuanling's suggestion, the imperial examination included not only a literary test but also a martial arts test.
This not only allows the world's literati, talented men and wise men to serve the country, but also allows warriors who like to dance with guns and sticks, and know how to fist and kick, to be made marquises and generals, and to fight on the battlefield and shed blood for the country.
After everything was over, Fang Xuanling resigned and left. Just as he left the hall, Xiao Guizi passed him from outside and walked in.
"Your Majesty, the guards at the palace gate have sent word that a girl Qing Ning wants to meet the Emperor!"
"You didn't see that I was busy...wait a minute!"
"Qing Ning?"
Chu Feifan muttered silently, his mind was filled with bloodlust, and a bright light suddenly flashed across his eyes.
"Qing Ning, the maid beside Shangguan Bangning, is she sent by Shangguan Bangning?"
