Chapter 144
As soon as the words fell, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites knelt down, followed by him and said: "What the prime minister said is absolutely true, this is against the ancestral etiquette, if you open this way, you will allow the servants to jump up, and even the ceremony will collapse. Bad, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Lan Yao had a chance to react, and at this moment she finally couldn't help but sneered back and said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, if there is no reform and innovation, there will be no opportunity for progress, if you stick to the old ways and stick to the old ways, in the end, you will only end up in a self-defeating end! "

Lan Yao finally switched to her own home court. When she was the leader, her speech skills had already been trained to seven or seven eighty-eight, and now she spoke passionately and generously in a very contagious tone:

"There is a saying that masters are hidden among the people, and students from poor families are not mediocre, but they only specialize in art. Even if a family of aristocratic families has been passed down for a hundred years and uses the best resources to cultivate their offspring, there is no guarantee that there will be no dudes. "

"Therefore, we shouldn't draw conclusions on these two classes with inherent concepts, and there should be no distinction between high and low. Whether they are children of poor families or children of prominent families, they are all my people, no matter what occupation they are. , should be home to those who can.”

"The so-called imperial examination is to select officials through open life-saving, equal competition, and merit-based admission. This method can not only make up for the disadvantages of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system based on family status to determine ranks, eliminate family prejudice, and can choose me. Daxuan has the best talents to serve the country, once this is done, all the heroes of the world can enter the imperial court, so why don't I have to worry about Daxuan's prosperity?"

When Lan Yao was carrying out the imperial examination system, she had already thought that she would be attacked and opposed most violently by the aristocrats, so she had already prepared her speech. Even though he said in a cannonball manner:

"What's more, when did I say that children from aristocratic families are not allowed to participate in public examinations? You, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said so. Do you think that children from this aristocratic family are inferior to students from poor families?"

"If you say that the eunuch family's children are not good enough to serve the country, wouldn't it be more important to have a vegetarian meal if you are in a high position?"

What Lan Yao said made the other party almost speechless, but the other party was really stubborn, maybe he had been instructed by some people long ago, and at this moment he opened his mouth without shame:
"I can't bear the slightest turmoil. This is absolutely unacceptable. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

But Lan Yao was not prepared to listen to his objection, and said with a very serious expression:
"You still oppose such a good thing that benefits the country and the people, you are really short-sighted and narrow-minded!"

"Master Shangshu, you are old and can't keep up with the pace of the times. You don't need to come to the Golden Luan Hall to order your hair every day. If you want to live up to your old age, I don't mind giving you this holiday."

Lan Yao knew very well that this innovative move would encounter great resistance, so she chose to make an example of others, waved her big hand, and said with one blow:
"The Xuezhou Public Examination is a national policy. My intention has been decided, the golden mouth has been opened, and the imperial decree has been issued. Is there any reason to go back on it?"

"You don't need to discuss any more, just implement it immediately!"

Because Qi Yuming is the head of all officials, if he is really dismissed because of his remonstrance, I am afraid that people inside and outside the court will panic and cannot function normally.

Lan Yao had no choice but to take the prime minister into action, so she chose a minister of the Ministry of Rites who was fairly high but not as prestigious. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, the very restless prime minister Qi Yuming knelt down and tried to persuade him :
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
