"This... sinner's edict is too much."
"How could it happen? 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 the ministers to talk about it.
Xu Que sat on the dragon chair, raised his eyebrows, stared directly at Xuanyuan Qiqi, and sneered: "Are you stupid... well, you took so much trouble to come up with such a plan?"
Damn it, you want me to blame myself
Are you afraid you are living in a dream
This sinner's punishment is tantamount to admitting his incompetence to the world!
You're the weirdo!
Xu Que immediately waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's 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 there can be no delay!"
Oooh, 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 would probably 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: "Dear sirs, I declare 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, we will carry out major construction projects to build roads across the country."
Wow!
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were shocked!
Schools were built for the education of the people, and the ministers had no objection.
Building roads across the country is also a good thing, and naturally they can't say anything to refute it.
But the abolition of the recommendation system and the establishment of the imperial examination system immediately 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 himself!
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
"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 life.
Among them, headed by Xuanyuan Qifa, the entire group of relatives reacted the most violently.
People like them relied on recommendation to become officials in the dynasty, and their income from recommendation was a lot of money every year. Xu Que's doing this was tantamount to digging up the roots of his relatives.
How could they 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 you change it casually?" At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong said lightly.
"You know nothing, just stay aside and watch carefully!" Xu Quepi said directly with a smile.
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 you don't recommend him, you can talk about anything. As for building roads and schools, he can do whatever he wants.
"Your Majesty!"
"This move is an eternal 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 intentions 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. The little will add up. ! 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
It's possible to say it, but it's absolutely impossible to pay for it!
Xuanyuan Qifa declined on the spot: "This... minister's salary still needs to subsidize the 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. Blocked 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 Qifa showed a pained expression 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 immediately 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 you are 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 be in trouble next time!
…
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 secretly hated him in his heart.
Dog Emperor! We have finally settled this gap!
