Quickly travel through the white moonlight and go crazy

Chapter 12 A Good Wife Helps Me Qingyunzhi 12
Shen Chen raised his eyebrows: "What, does your Majesty want to sign a contract with me?"

"I am the most honest person and the most kind-hearted. When doing business with me, you can neither suffer losses nor be cheated."

"Don't talk about living to old age. Even if His Majesty wants to live to be 120 years old, I can help you."

The clear voice was seductive: "I know that your Majesty is determined to live up to the late emperor's trust and lead Daxuan to a prosperous age."

"Your Majesty, don't you want to live to see how this Daxuan can reproduce the glory of Taizu Taizong in your hands?"

"All you need to do is sign, and I will assist His Majesty to achieve greater glory and return to the top."

Shen Chen took out the parchment from his arms and slowly spread it out in front of Qin Xuan.

“You only have to pay a little price to gain so much.”

Shen Chen's mouth went dry as he spoke.

He looked at Qin Xuan with sharp eyes.

Qin Xuan pushed the parchment towards Shen Chen.

Neither agreed nor rejected.

Shen Chen, who was hung up, was not annoyed and put it away casually.

When a person has the strongest desire to live is when he is about to die.

Shen Chen can wait.

If the wish has not been fulfilled and the revenge has not been realized, how can a person be willing to die.

Seeing that Shen Chen had no intention of being bribed by those aristocratic families, Qin Xuan felt relieved a little.

The maid brought a tray with a white jade bowl inside.

Qin Xuan took the jade bowl and handed it to Shen Chen very familiarly: "Sobering Up Soup."

Shen Chen also took it very naturally and drank it all in one gulp.

For some reason, the scene in front of him made Qin Xuan feel a little dazed.

It was as if this scene had been played out countless times.

Shen Chen returned the jade bowl to the maid's tray.

He put his fingertips lightly on his forehead and said with a bleak expression, "When will your Majesty plan to attack them?"

Qin Xuan came back to his senses: "Waiting."

After sitting for a while, Shen Chen had completely sobered up from the wine.

Qin Xuan sent guards to escort Shen Chen away.

Alone, he picked up the unfinished notebook he carried with him and started correcting it with a pen.

The eunuch serving beside him was polishing Qin Xuan's ink, but he didn't know about the deal between Qin Xuan and Shen Chen.

I thought to myself that Master Shen is favored by His Majesty.

It seems that I have to be careful in the future and don't offend him.

It's just that His Majesty came here in the middle of the night just to give Lord Shen a bowl of sobering soup.

This abnormal scene made him couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

But these slaves can't figure out His Majesty's thoughts.

After Shen Chen returned, he flipped through the history books.

Qin Xuan has been reluctant to take action against the family.

It's because the current aristocratic family can only suppress it, but cannot completely eradicate it.

Before Daxuan saw him, the children from poor families had no chance to serve as officials in the court.

The ministers in the court were all recommended by aristocratic families.

In the previous dozen dynasties, almost all ministers in the court came from aristocratic families.

There were only five of the eight great aristocratic families left today.

After being massacred by Xuan Gaozong, his vitality is now severely damaged and is far from what it used to be.

Moreover, as early as the Xuan Taizong period, the talent selection system was reformed and the imperial examination was established.

It was just that at that time, even if disciples from poor families were selected into the court, they could only serve as minor officials.

The power is still in the hands of aristocratic families and nobles.

However, most of the honorable nobles were ministers who had served with great merit during the reign of Emperor Xuan Taizu, the founding emperor of the Daxuan Kingdom. Some of them came from even poorer families, and most of them were weaklings who were looked down upon by aristocratic families.

Among the nobles now, there are only a few who are truly talented and knowledgeable.

Most of them are dandies who rely on the shadow of their ancestors and rest on their laurels.

Moreover, most of the officials with noble backgrounds were working as military generals. Emperor Xuanguo did not want to reuse aristocratic families, but there were really no useful people in the court.

It wasn't until Qin Xuan's father's generation that the emperor began to reuse poor families on a large scale.

The family's interests were touched, and the family also did a lot of things.

All are heading in the same direction, and the aristocratic family is already declining.If you don't put your tail between your legs and become a human being, I'm afraid that in Qin Xuan's hands, you will be reduced to an empty shell.

Until recent years, ministers in the DPRK were recommended by aristocratic families and selected by imperial examinations.

Therefore, half of the officials in the DPRK came from aristocratic families.

The imperial examination was reformed again this year. No matter where you are from, you must take the imperial examination before you can become an official in the court.

Except Shen Chen saved the emperor like this and was directly appointed by the emperor.

The family is not particularly harmonious, and there are constant fights.

In fact, Qin Xuan didn't want to kill everyone. As long as the family stayed in peace, he would sometimes turn a blind eye.

But obviously some people don't want to give up the meat in their mouths.

Challenged the imperial power countless times.

In the eyes of some aristocratic families, they are still full of arrogance, as if this is still the era when aristocratic families restricted the imperial power.

I thought that as long as Qin Xuan died.

Everything is fine.

They don't care who the emperor is or which dynasty he belongs to.

They only care about whether they can still live a luxurious life.

This day is the day of the announcement.

The wheels of the plot may take different paths, but the final destination is still the same.

Li Yanshu stood at the bottom of the list, counting his names from top to bottom.

One by one, Li Yanshu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.

He won, he was No.1.

Is the champion.

Father, mother, the child has lived up to your expectations. The child has finally brought glory to his ancestors.

For some reason, the bright red wedding dress and the tears in the corners of the girl's eyes appeared in his mind.

He said softly in his heart.

Qingwu, I won the first prize.

Li Yanshu's hands trembled slightly.

He seemed to be able to see his path to success in the future. I heard that His Majesty does not value family background, but values ​​talent more.

Many children from poor families found important positions in his hands.

Before he could finish thinking about it, he heard a young man in splendid clothes yelling next to him.

"How is this possible? How could I not be on the list?"

"impossible."

Li Yanshu was a little disdainful. Judging from his extravagant appearance, he must have not studied well.

If you are not strong enough, it is not normal to miss.

He couldn't bear to fail like this every year and yelled at him because he had seen too much.

There are also people who fail the rankings time and time again, which is such a huge blow that they go crazy.

Unexpectedly, this time was different from usual.

The crowd quickly got excited.

Many people are shouting that it is impossible.

Suddenly, a voice said: "Why is there not a single candidate from a noble family on this list?"

"The top three are all from poor families."

Someone soon followed and shouted: "Yes, yes, not only the top three, but everyone on this list comes from a poor family."

"His Majesty abolished the recommendation system and everyone had to take the scientific examination. We took part, but no one made the list."

"Does Your Majesty want to prohibit aristocratic families and nobles from entering the court as officials?"

The students shouted that it was unfair and the whole crowd rioted.

Several students in the crowd who had just shouted quietly retreated to the corner and disappeared without a trace.

The candidates who had been aroused could not stop and ran to the government office to protest.

For a time, the scientific examination fraud case in Beijing caused an uproar.

Seeing that the situation was not good, many poor families also expressed that they did not need the biased scientific examination and that they wanted to be on the list based on their strength. In order to maintain the way of saints, they joined the "army" of protests one after another.

If you don't do this, it will be contrary to the way of sages and sages, and you will not be a gentleman.

They don't want to leave the slightest stain on their reputation.
