Tour the world of martial arts

Chapter 384 We must finally take action
Hearing Zhao Mingyuan's categorical rejection, all the members of the Demon Sect couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

In fact, even if he is granted the title of king, he is just a leader like Fu Gongyou who is in charge of a separate military and horse territory, and has nothing to do with people like An Long who have no military territory.

In fact, in a world like the Tang Dynasty where martial arts flourished, as long as the martial arts was high enough, the common people would always be proud of the princes.

Therefore, whether they can be crowned king or not is not that important to people like them in the martial arts world.

The reason why Anlong was obsessed with this point and asked several times was just to explore Zhao Mingyuan's attitude.

If Zhao Mingyuan allows people from the Demon Sect to officially enter the court, or even be crowned king and prime minister, then it means that he truly treats the Demon Sect equally.

If people in the Demon Sect can enter the court openly, are other rights still far away?

If Zhao Mingyuan can really do it, it will naturally mean that he has completely accepted the Demonic Sect and separated from the Buddhist Sect.The Demon Sect can also completely trust Zhao Mingyuan's position, and no longer need to guard against Zhao Mingyuan making peace with the Buddhist Sect and turn around to deal with them.

But who would have expected that this unexpected result would be obtained, which is really shocking.

Is Zhao Mingyuan crazy?

Or did you become arrogant after being called a loner and despise everything?
Even though he knew that Li Clan offered such generous conditions, he still insisted on the principle that he could not be crowned king unless he expanded his territory.

Is this because you think it is not difficult enough to unify the world? Do you want to make it more difficult for yourself?

Now that you know Li Clan's plan, you can also cut down the vassal in the future.At this time, rejecting everyone firmly like this is not a good choice.

From the Momen's point of view, even if the Li family went back on their word and tried to eliminate the feudal clan afterwards, it was nothing.

But Zhao Mingyuan is insisting on unnecessary principles, knowing that there are great benefits but refusing to lie. In their view, this is not the behavior of a qualified king.

As for what Zhao Mingyuan said, even the military exploits that unified the world were not enough to make him a king, only the achievements of opening up territories and expanding the territory were enough.How many people can meet such harsh conditions?
Anyway, they believed that there was absolutely no hope for Fu Gongyou and Lin Shihong.

After all, even if there is an expedition against foreign tribes in the future, Zhao Mingyuan will naturally decide on the commander of the army.How could he not arrange for his cronies but let outsiders lead the troops? Thinking about it, he knew it was impossible.

In this case, for them, this condition is equivalent to not having it.

Seeing that the people in the Demon Sect were not very satisfied with this, Zhao Mingyuan then made another condition.

"I am planning to conquer Jiangnan this year and start the imperial examination next spring.

The imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty were different from those of the Sui and Yang Dynasties.

Everyone, regardless of status or origin, can apply.Whether they are scholars, farmers, merchants, or traders, they are all treated equally, and heroes are judged only on the basis of their talent and learning. "

After hearing Zhao Mingyuan's words, everyone in the Demon Sect couldn't help but perked up and stared at Zhao Mingyuan closely.

Compared with the conditions just now, Zhao Mingyuan's condition is truly attractive to the Demon Sect.

Compared with one or two people entering the court, being able to take the imperial examination and enter the court openly is better than any other conditions for the Demon Sect.

An Long couldn't help but ask: "Is what Prince Ming said true? Anyone with any identity can participate, and businessmen like An can also participate, right?"

Zhao Mingyuan replied: "Of course, all scholars, farmers, merchants, monks and Taoists, as well as all schools of thought, can participate, and even women can participate in the imperial examination.

Fairness is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. "

These words were even more surprising than Zhao Mingyuan's words about being crowned king just now. Even Hanhan couldn't help but hug Zhao Mingyuan's arm and asked softly: "Is it true, can people like the Nu family take part in the imperial examination and become officials in the court?
Prince Ming, please don’t deceive the slave family! "

Zhao Mingyuan smiled and said: "Of course, I said that this is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty, so I am not trying to coax you.

Even women can take part in the imperial examination and become officials in the court.

Didn’t you already know that Shen Luoyan had entered the cabinet?

With this precedent, there is nothing to believe! "

Seeing that everyone still had expressions of surprise and disbelief, Zhao Mingyuan continued:

"Moreover, this meritocracy does not only refer to Confucian talents.

In fact, for the imperial examinations to be held next spring, Confucianism will only account for a part of it, and the opinions of other sages from hundreds of schools of thought will also be included in the assessment.

Other subjects include calculation, engineering, equipment, agriculture, economics, etc., which will also become a subject assessed in the imperial examination.

Of course, you don’t need to be proficient in everything, you just need to choose the subject in which you are best for assessment.

Once passed, they can be employed in the direction they are good at. "

If everyone in the Demon Sect was so excited when they heard Zhao Mingyuan's words at first, then when they heard Zhao Mingyuan's words now, they felt as if they were in a dream, thinking that Zhao Mingyuan was deceiving them.

After all, this is even more exaggerated than Li Clan's king-conferring scam, and makes people even more unbelievable.

It has only been a few decades since the imperial examination was established, and not many people were admitted. It has always been controlled by aristocratic families, and it has not had much impact.But everyone knows that if the changes mentioned by Zhao Mingyuan are followed, then this imperial examination will really bring about earth-shaking changes in the world.

Regardless of status, one can participate in the imperial examination and become an official in the court. This is even better than the best conditions the Demon Sect had imagined.

What's more, as Zhao Mingyuan said, the content tested in the imperial examination was not only Confucianism, but also included content from hundreds of schools of thought, and even content from all walks of life.

This condition is so good that even those in the Demon Sect can't believe it is true.

However, looking at Zhao Mingyuan's serious and serious eyes, they, who were already accustomed to being discriminated against, couldn't help but hope that this was true, even if there was a one in ten thousand chance.

If this is true, if this is true!
At the thought of this, the people in the Demon Sect were filled with excitement and thoughts, looking at Zhao Mingyuan with extremely complicated eyes.

Is he really a member of the Taoist sect?
It can’t be from the Holy Sect!

Will the dream of the Holy Sect for thousands of years be realized in the hands of Zhao Mingyuan?
If it can really be realized, then Zhao Mingyuan will be the supreme holy emperor of my holy sect, and no one will dare to disapprove.

Seeing the dazed expressions on everyone's faces, Zhao Mingyuan continued: "The cabinet is now divided into six departments: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. However, this is only a temporary measure when the world is not yet settled. It will be subdivided later.

These different jobs naturally require different professional skills and correspond to different imperial examination projects.

For example, if I want to set up a business department under the household department, if the business department develops and grows in the future, it may be separated and become its own department.

The content of assessments required by the personnel of the Commercial Department is naturally different from that of other departments. "

Zhao Mingyuan looked at An Long and continued: "I heard that all members of the Tianlian Sect are good at merchants, and Boss An, as the leader of the Tianlian Sect, is one of the best.

I wonder if Boss An is interested in joining the Ministry of Commerce and serving as the first minister of the Ministry of Commerce? "

willing!Really willing.

An Long finally agreed without speaking directly.

But thinking that he was still in the negotiation process and was still the representative of the Holy Sect, he temporarily calmed down and did not speak.

This was because Anlong was afraid that when he opened his mouth, the word "willing" would come out of his mouth.

Although Anlong has great martial arts skills, he is also the richest in the world.However, because of his status as a businessman, he was prejudiced and looked down upon by many ignorant people.

Now Zhao Mingyuan is actually willing to let him control the economic power of a country, and even established an independent Ministry of Commerce, alongside the six ministries.

How trustworthy this is!

No one has ever trusted me like this, and Anlong suddenly had the idea that a scholar would die for his confidant.

From then on, Zhao Mingyuan became an unparalleled wise king in Anlong's heart. Even Shi Zhixuan, the boss for many years, his position in Anlong's heart was shaken.

Zhao Mingyuan really gave too much!
Seeing that An Long seemed to have been convinced by him, and everyone else had their own ideas, Zhao Mingyuan turned to look at the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan, the head of the Yin Gui Sect who had not said a word since he had covered his face with a veil.

This is the person with the strongest strength and the highest status among them. She has not expressed her position yet, so the negotiation is naturally not a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan continued: "Actually, although the conditions for becoming king just mentioned by me are a bit harsh, it is not that no one can achieve them.

For example, if the Dongming faction came to surrender and dedicated the Ryukyu Island they occupied to the Ming Dynasty, why should I be stingy with the throne?
There are countless lands like Ryukyu Island on the sea. As long as they occupy more than one county overseas and submit to the Ming Dynasty, anyone can be granted the title of prince. "

Seeing that Zhu Yuyan still seemed unmoved, Zhao Mingyuan went on to add more emphasis, saying: "Women account for half of the world's population, so naturally a special department needs to be set up to manage it.

I wonder if Queen Yin is interested in this? "

No one can resist this card, not even Zhu Yuyan.

After hearing Zhao Mingyuan's promise, Zhu Yuyan, the underworld queen who had been silent throughout the entire negotiation but could not get around it, spoke for the first time.

Although his voice is soft and charming, his tone is undeniable and contains a different kind of charm.

Just listen to Zhu Yuyan say: "Although King Ming described it very well, whether it can be achieved is another matter.

Could it be that King Ming thinks he has us defeated, and the intention behind his words is to completely annex our Holy Sect.

In this case, let's ask King Ming to show off his strength and see if your teeth are sharp enough, if you have enough appetite to swallow it, and if you can realize all the plans you mentioned. "

As soon as he said this, the candlelight on the boat suddenly flickered, brightening and dimming.Between the flickering light and shadow, there is an inexplicable pressure spreading, making people feel like they are in a demonic realm.

Ugh!
Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, for a sect like the Demon Sect that believes in respecting the strong, no matter how much they are given, there will still be a fight and they must be beaten hard.

That being the case, let's do it.
