At the same time, the matter of tax reform would also be covered up!
At this time, if the aristocratic families and officials in various places still did not know how to appreciate kindness and wanted to stir up the hearts of the people, it would be a great disrespect to the emperor's kindness and a great sin. Moreover, they probably could not stir up the people even if they wanted to!
Such a method made the ministers in the court gasp in amazement!
Not only could it solve the negative impact of the tax reform, but it could also allow the tax reform to proceed smoothly.
At the same time, he could also leave behind the image of a wise ruler for the people of the world to be grateful.
High! It was really high!
If Jiang Chen's previous methods only proved that he had the ability to balance the court and sit on the throne!
But now, the methods he had displayed proved that he had the ability to control the entire country and the tens of millions of people!
Liu Yuan and the other loyal members were also stunned. They were worried that Jiang Chen's impulsiveness would cause domestic unrest.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen already had a way to weigh the pros and cons, and the skill was completely unexpected.
And all their worries were completely their own. Jiang Chen's vision was far more far-sighted than theirs.
This made Liu Yuan and the other old officials feel ashamed. They had been officials for their entire lives, but they were not as thoughtful as the young emperor who had just ascended the throne. They were really ashamed!
However, this also made Liu Yuan and the other officials feel very gratified. It was a great fortune for the Tianwu Kingdom to have such an emperor!
"Your Majesty has considered everything thoroughly. It was this lowly subject who was presumptuous. This lowly subject has offended Your Majesty.”Liu Yuan said decisively.
Jiang Chen knew that Liu Yuan was also thinking for himself. He didn't want the country to suffer because of his mistakes in decision-making and damage his reputation!
Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't blame Liu Yuan.
However, Jiang Chen also knew that Liu Yuan's initiative to plead guilty and ask for punishment was actually for his own good. He wanted to help him maintain the dignity of the emperor!
After all, Liu Yuan was indeed a little agitated in front of all the officials, but in the end, he was the one worrying. If Jiang Chen was not punished, his prestige would be damaged.
However, what surprised Jiang Chen was that Liu Yuan actually took the initiative to ask for punishment. His consideration was quite comprehensive, and he could be considered a loyal person.
" So," Jiang Chen said," Since that's the case, I'll punish you with three months of salary!"”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yuan said gratefully.
How could he not know that Jiang Chen was pretending to punish him? Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to just punish him with three months of salary.
"Dear ministers, do you have anything else to report?”
Jiang Chen scanned the ministers and asked.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
At this moment, the Minister of Rites walked out of the court.
"Allow!"
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"Your Majesty, ever since the reform of the imperial examinations, the entire country has been shaken. All the scholars in the world have praised the Emperor's wisdom, and the wave of imperial examinations has also followed. Currently, a group of examinees have already broken through the encirclement and are staying in the capital to prepare for the final examination.”
"This is the name list of this year's examinees."
As the Minister of Rites spoke, he presented a memorial with both hands.
Jiang Chen was currently lacking talents and famous officials. He hoped that the imperial examination could help him select some talents and famous officials to replace the group of people in the court.
Therefore, Jiang Chen was quite interested in the Minister of Rites 'words, so he gave Liu Zhuo a look.
Liu Zhuo immediately understood. After he took the list, he handed it to Jiang Chen with both hands.
Jiang Chen opened the list and looked at it.
However, what surprised Jiang Chen was that there were more than one to two hundred candidates at the end!
However, when he thought about the reform of the imperial examination system, there would definitely be a large number of students who would rush to participate in the first wave of examinations. Jiang Chen was relieved.
It was good to have more people. They could provide him with more talents.
Therefore, Jiang Chen scanned the list, hoping to see a familiar name. It must be a famous minister!
When Jiang Chen scanned through the second half of the list, his pupils contracted and a faint smile appeared on his face!
Unexpectedly, he really saw a familiar name!
Moreover, he was sure that this person was at least a first-rate famous official, or even a peerless famous official!
