…
In the imperial court, Xuande Zi took out the imperial edict and said,""Lu Xiaofeng has solved the case and protected the emperor. He is specially conferred the rank of third-grade assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. He is in charge of criminal investigation and case solving."
Lu Xiaofeng knelt down and said,"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The imperial court was dissatisfied, but they still accepted it. Shen Hao's prestige had already been established, and no one dared to provoke him.
Lu Xiaofeng was very satisfied with this reward. Not only was it a good reward, but it was also officially recognized. It was really good.
After all, the martial world was destined to be unstable. It was not as glorious as being an official.
No one who could become an official was willing to run around the martial world.
Not everyone could become the number one in the world. Even if they broke through to the Xiantian Realm or the Grandmaster Realm, they would still be involved in endless battles.
"Next, let's talk about the succession of the vassal kings," Shen Hao said.
Hearing this, Li Shi Min and the others became excited.
She looked at Shen Hao expectantly like a little bird waiting to be fed.
Shen Hao was delighted. These rebels were really anxious.
However, Shen Hao was satisfied with the one million taels each.
If this dragged on, Shen Hao would only be safe if the eight kings were in chaos.
After all, the reason why the Central Plains was called the Central Plains was because it was in the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The eight kings firmly surrounded the Central Plains.
It could be said that in the center of the vortex, it was precisely because of this that no one dared to make a move. Because once they made a move on the Central Plains, they would definitely face the encirclement of the other kings.
Shen Hao said,"Our Great Zhou's ancestral teachings are 'to establish a legitimate son but not an elder, and to establish an elder but not a virtuous one.'
But I was born a concubine, so didn't I inherit the throne?
The emperor did so well, so the ancestral teachings might not be right."
Hearing this, Li Shiming and the others wanted to vomit. Damn, he really knew how to flatter himself. Shameless, really shameless.
Shen Hao ignored everyone and said again,""Since I can do this, the kings can do the same.
Therefore, I have decided to abolish the system of 'choosing the direct heir but not the elder, choosing the elder but not the virtuous.'
Carry out the order of grace."
"Emperor, what is the order of gratitude?" Lu Xiaofeng said,"
Shen Hao gave her a look of approval.
"Good question. To put it bluntly, this token of gratitude is like sharing the rain and dew equally.
According to the Great Zhou's ancestral teachings, the eldest son inherited the system. All the family assets and armies of the various vassal kings were inherited by the eldest son.
The other second sons and illegitimate sons did not have much wealth.
This was simply against the laws of nature. They were both fathers 'sons. Why should they be treated differently? This was very unreasonable.
Therefore, I have decided to abolish this system.
In the future, the inheritance of the family property could not just be shared by one person. Everyone had a share.
It was easy to understand that the decree of grace was an improvement on the basis of the prefecture and county system.
[Requirement: Abolish the eldest son inheritance system in the region under the jurisdiction of the vassals, and change it to the eldest son, second son, third son, and brother inheriting together.]
As for the throne, it would be inherited by a wise heir.
In this way, fatuous people were avoided, the country was stable, and the people were free from the suffering of war.
What does everyone think of Zhen's idea?"
The imperial court sucked in a breath of cold air!
Those who could be officials were fools. Of course, they understood the sinister side of this order.
This was simply making the kings fight among themselves to achieve the goal of weakening.
Soon, someone stood up and said,
"I feel that this matter is inappropriate."
"Tell me your reason," Shen Hao said expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, this will only intensify the struggle for the throne. It will instead breed riots and go against the Heavenly Dao."
"Idiot, do you think a good-for-nothing can be the boss?" Shen Hao said disdainfully.
Competition was the only way to be energetic.
I believe that those who are capable are superior and those who are mediocre are inferior. It will be the same for officials in the future.
Li Shimin, Yongzheng, Huhai, Zhao Guangyi, Tuo Lei, Ye Lui Qi, Zhu Di, Yang Guang, all of you representatives of the Crown Prince, please share your opinions."
The eight princes shouted at the same time,"We are meaningless!"
The court was in an uproar!
F * ck, the eight kings actually agreed.
However, after thinking about it carefully, something was wrong.
Why would the eight kings agree? Wasn't this weakening his strength?
However, looking at the princes in front of them, everyone suddenly realized. F * ck, these were all second sons. Why would they agree?
This was completely advantageous to them.
Shen Hao said with satisfaction,"Then Zhen will issue an edict."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"In addition, there are so many vacant positions in the court that we urgently need talents."
After Shen Hao finished speaking, the eyes of all the officials lit up. This was a good opportunity. There were still many descendants in the family who did not have official positions.
However, Shen Hao's next words made them furious.
" Therefore, I've decided to hold an imperial examination in six months. All scholars can participate, and the top 50 will be able to enter the government."
The imperial court was in an uproar. If they could accept the favor, then it was none of their business. However, the implementation of the imperial examination system was cutting off their roots.
Instantly, all the ministers went crazy.
"I disagree."
"Emperor, this is absolutely not possible. I absolutely do not agree. This is against the ancestral teachings."
"Humble families have no education. They have bad conduct."
"Your Majesty!"
Li Shi Min and the others 'eyes lit up. They liked this system very much.
They were all extremely intelligent people. Of course, they knew who was in Enke's favor. It was definitely them.
They also wanted to get rid of the aristocratic families, but they didn't have any talent, and they couldn't openly fall out with them.
But now, since the Emperor was courting death, they were happy to enjoy success.
Especially Yang Guang, who felt that Shen Hao's system was too awesome and coincided with his.
The imperial court was in an uproar. These officials seemed to have gone mad as they glared at Shen Hao.
F * ck, I can't deal with you guys?
Shen Hao had a headache when he thought about killing everyone.
Then, he was too lazy to look at it and said angrily,"Retreat!"
The next day, Xuande Zi looked at Shen Hao, who was in high spirits, and said carefully,""The emperor and all the officials have been kneeling outside the palace for the entire night.”
"Are you forcing me to abdicate?" Shen Hao's face turned cold.”
"Go and spread the news that Zhen is preparing for the imperial examinations and tell them that the officials are stopping them from doing so.
Record all the ministers kneeling outside the palace and issue an announcement to let the talented students understand who is the obstacle that prevents them from advancing."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Xuande Zi left, Shen Hao happily drank the tribute tea. It was not bad to violate the ancestral teachings, and the reward was not small.
If you want to force him to abdicate, then force him. Who's afraid of who?
There was a benefit to the imperial examination system. If the bottom class saw hope, there would be fewer people learning martial arts. By then, society would be safe, right?
Who would be willing to be a guard if they could be an official?
As expected, the announcement of the imperial examination system caused the entire capital to boil.
All the students and peddlers ran wildly on the street in excitement.
" Official! Everyone has a chance to become an official! Quickly go and look at the Imperial Roll!"
On the street, a gentleman who wrote letters for others saw the notice and suddenly burst into tears.
"Father, Mother, did you see that? I can also become an official. I can also bring glory to my ancestors. That's great. Long live the Emperor!"
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
"Long live the Emperor!"
"There's hope in this life. There's really hope."
Kneeling on the ground, he shouted,"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
The sound gathered into a torrent, from the gurgling stream to the sea, and the momentum was monstrous.
Li Shi Min and the others looked at the streets and alleys. Countless people were kneeling and kowtowing in the direction of the Imperial Palace, shouting 'Long live!'
Their hearts were greatly impacted. This scene was too shocking. This was what the people wanted.
Such a scene had never been seen before.
