Zhu Biao's voice was like a thunderclap, shaking the world and making the sea jubilant. It reverberated on the Heaven Worship Stage of Mount Tai for a long time.
" The Crown Prince is wise!!!"
" The Crown Prince is righteous!!!"
"My Great Ming has such a crown prince, why worry about the unease of the common people!!!”
"Father! Did you see it in the sky? This prosperous Ming Dynasty, we commoners can finally live with dignity!!”
"Mother! You were beaten to death by Yuan Ting. Have you seen the sky now?？We commoners will never be bullied again!!”
"The Crown Prince is wise, the Emperor is wise. To be able to struggle to survive until the Daming Empire, this old man, this old man's blessing!!!”
......
Zhu Biao's heart trembled in pain as he watched the countless commoners cry.
How could he not know how miserable the lives of the common people were?
As the saying went, the people suffered when the dynasty rose and the people suffered when it died. Every time a dynasty changed, the people suffered the most. However, when the imperial power was stable, the people suffered the most!
There were corrupt officials, all kinds of despotic gentry, evil people, and all kinds of people who were suppressing the commoners!
All of these people were directly or indirectly protected and protected by those dignitaries!
Didn't they see how many big cases, strange cases, and unjust cases had been wiped out by the victims behind their invisible hands?
This was something that could be seen!
What if he couldn't?
How bitter must the lives of the common people be? How shameless would he be?
He thought of those dignitaries and ministers who controlled the court. All the officials were recommended by them. They formed cliques for personal gain and formed factions. In the end, all of this had to be paid by the people.
Zhu Chen took a deep breath and stood proudly.
"For the people of the world, for the students of the world, for our Ming Dynasty, everyone is like a dragon, for the prosperity of the world.”
"Solid!"
"I've decided to hold the imperial examination!"
"The rations and travel expenses prepared by the Imperial Court have also been announced to the provinces!!”
"I, am waiting in Ying Tian. Those who are willing to benefit the people of my Ming Dynasty, come!!!”
The moment Zhu Biao finished speaking, the ministers were shocked!
Although he was prepared, he did not expect Zhu Biao to say it today!
Especially those dignitaries, their breathing quickened and their hearts were in turmoil. Once the imperial examination was held, the first thing that would be affected would be their interests.
Because now, they were the ones who introduced the various officials in the court to each other, and they were the ones who controlled the government.
Whenever a good position was vacant in the Imperial Court, they would immediately send their children or clansmen to take it.
Although these civil officials and generals had their own forces, they had long formed unspoken rules.
For example, in the Inspectorate, today, the son of your faction was recommended to be the left and right deputy inspector general. This is the third rank, right?
But tomorrow, when my son grows up and my faction is more powerful than yours, the position of the Left and Right Imperial Censor will be mine!
Tomorrow, there will be a faction that is inferior to us. His descendants will be going up, and that will be the position of the Left and Right Qian Imperial Censor.
Not to mention, there were 13 imperial censors under him who were in charge of the inspection work of each province!
In short, they just sat in rows and ate the fruits!
The entire system of officials in Great Ming is controlled by us, the nobles and ministers!
Then, what about those who weren't from the main clan?
Whether you're brave and good at fighting, or your literary talent shocks the world, it's none of your business!
Do you think you can do it just because you have the ability?
No way!
You have to be my son, my grandson!
What if someone really wanted to be an official but had no way to do so?
Then he had to choose a school and clean it up. After he was satisfied, he would acknowledge them as his father, commonly known as godson. Only then would it work!
After these people came up, they had official positions. When someone defected to them, they would acknowledge them as their fathers. Then, these latecomers would be the grandsons of these noble people!
Therefore, a very absurd scene appeared. For example, Lan Yu, who was now in his prime, won the world in ten years.
When he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, he was still young. Now, he was only in his thirties.
However, he had more than a hundred sons and grandsons now. Among them, there were many who called him grandfather!
Moreover, these people would have to change their surname to Lan after following Lan Yu!
If anything happened to his son or grandson, he would naturally protect them. Only then would they be willing to follow him.
Therefore, sometimes, if there were really commoners who sued, they would be gone before they even reached the yamen.
Even if there were those who successfully reached the yamen, they would first go to the lower-level yamen. When the officials who were investigating the case saw it, they would say, ouch! Isn't this going to sue my father?
that
The commoners were nothing!
Therefore, the entire noble clan, the entire Great Ming Dynasty, was their people. It was complicated and intertwined!
This was the disadvantage of not having to take an examination to become an official!
Of course, the reason why he dared to do this was because of his great contribution and power. He was also certain that Zhu Biao would not punish him, but would even give him a promotion!
There were many civil officials and generals who were in a situation similar to Lan Yu's. However, his sons and grandchildren were more numerous, so it was more typical.
Therefore, when this decree was issued, those civil officials and generals who had helped Zhu Yuanzhang conquer the world in the early years were terrified!
At this moment, Lan Yu, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Fu You, and the others did not think much of it.
I'm from Huaixi!
It's not bad to have the surname Zhu in the world. I also support his surname Zhu, and I will always support him. However, the imperial court is mine! The officials are mine!
Moreover, Zhu Biao is the one in charge. He's the child I watched grow up. He's my relative.？
This was just to deal with those who followed later and had unstable foundations.
As an official, he had some special privileges. He was not happy about this. He could not be drunk and sleep on the knees of a beauty to control the world. Who would want to be an official?
Commoners?
Aren't the commoners full? Didn't they have potatoes? What examinations and severe punishment? When the time came, they would definitely arrange for some remote areas or replace some of the old Yuan Dynasty troops.
Weren't there still many officials left in the Yuan Dynasty that hadn't been replaced?
It's fine to let those Confucian scholars go there. Then, when the Crown Prince is doing things, can we still give him convenience?
This is the Crown Prince, let's give him face!
As they knelt, they did not notice that Zhu Biao was looking at them.
And Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a millimeter.
