Iron Dynasty

　　 "The emperor, the Ministry of Ritual cannot be abandoned."

　　 Wang Chengye trembled and shouted loudly.

Xiao Ming grunted angrily, "Wang Chengye, you and Tang Guogong, Fei Peiqiu set up a self-interested school, don't you know? As a book of rituals, you not only did not respect the new Confucianism to eliminate the complicated etiquette of the folk, but you were dedicated to deepening the nobility. The estrangement between the younger brother and the younger brother of the poor family, this heart should be punished, come, take off the official badge worn by Wang Chengye."

　　 was ordered, the guard at the entrance of the hall walked to Wang Chengye and removed the official charm he was wearing.

　　 The officials of the empire must wear official talisman in addition to official robes. Once the official talisman is taken off, it means being dismissed.

　　 Ge Yiren was euphemistically persuaded by Xiao Ming to go home for retirement. Wang Chengye was dismissed from office and the entire Ministry of Rites may have to be abolished.

　　 Such a fierce action made the officials very scared. They knew that the emperor would be really moving.

　　 Fiji has been kneeling on the ground from beginning to end, and now his forehead is sweaty. He is fortunate that he has made a clear relationship between himself and Fiji in time, otherwise I am afraid that the unlucky person will have himself among them.

After disposing of Ge Yiren and Wang Chengye, Xiao Ming returned to his seat and said loudly, "I know that there are definitely more than these people who support the establishment of private schools. I also know that there are more than Li Ran officials who are corrupting the law. But Zhiqiu, Qingzhou where I sit is still like this, let alone the whole world."

With a long sigh, Xiao Ming said; "Remember, it is not my credit that you can stand in this court today, but the credit of the thousands of hard-working people and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. Having said that, I will interrogate Feitong's case personally, and I will also express my opinion on the distinction between noble and inferior."

After pondering for a while, he said; "Feitong's injury seems to be just a fight, but it is actually an outbreak of contradictions between the powerful and the poor. Today, it is just two fights and fights. In the future, the whole world may kill each other for the prosperity of the empire. Prosperity, for the sake of Qianqiu's foundation, I declare to the world that it is forbidden to establish private schools."

　　 "The emperor's sage." Pang Yukun was overjoyed.

Zhan Xingchang said: "The emperor, although private school is forbidden, the contradiction between school students still cannot be resolved. The reason is all because of the idea of ​​distinguishing high and low. The minister thought that the status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce should be reiterated regardless of high or low. Decree."

Xiao Ming nodded. He said: "The decree is only one aspect. Practical actions can really solve this problem. Regardless of the law, economy, education, and policies, the various privileges enjoyed by the nobles must be completely cancelled, and equality should be vigorously promoted. Thinking, let the people no longer feel that they are inferior, the most important thing is to break the solidification of the class, so that the people all over the world have a way to rise. Therefore, starting today, the empire's official selection system will change, and it will change drastically. ."

　　 After that, he motioned to Qian Dafu.

　　 Qian Dafu then walked down with his arms, and gave a copy to the officials in the court.

　　 Pang Yukun and others took the file and looked at it carefully, and they were suddenly surprised.

　　 "Imperial official selection examination system!" Pang Yukun said.

"Yes, starting from this year, the Empire will fully implement an official selection system. All students with a certificate of completion from various universities are eligible to participate in the official selection examination. Those who pass the examination can be assigned to the government according to their scores and what they have learned. In various positions, since some officials don't do things with the empire's money, then get out and give them to those who do things seriously." Xiao Ming said.

Yang Chengye said: "The emperor, the examination can only prove a person's knowledge, but it can't prove a person's character. To be a good official, this knowledge and character are indispensable, and even the character should be better. There is something wrong with selecting officials based on knowledge."

　　 Xiao Ming smiled. He has been thinking about this question all the time. The official selection examination he launched is somewhat similar to contemporary civil service examinations, but it is more than that.

"Yang Aiqing's statement is reasonable, so I have prepared two methods. First, those who have passed the test will have a special job to visit their school and their hometown to get the evaluation among their neighbors, friends, and classmates. Anyone who has a bad track , Cannot be hired, only those who pass both can be appointed as officials."

　　 "The emperor is wise." Yang Chengye felt relieved. In his opinion, the emperor's actions combined the current imperial examination system and the past system of filial piety and integrity.

　　 In this way, while ensuring the level of officials, it can also control the level of morality of officials.

Zhan Xingchang said: "If the official selection system is implemented, the powerful children must also pass the examination before they can enter the court. In this way, the underprivileged children will compete with the powerful children on knowledge rather than identity, and if there are no children in the powerful family, Entering the officialdom, one or two generations later, it will decline. This is the circulation of up and down."

　　 Officials from poor families in the imperial court are naturally rejoicing about this policy, while those conservative officials are just like mourning, because it means that the literati class will completely disappear.

　　 In the past, the scholar-official class had almost mastered the resources for reading. The children of the scholar-official class could study in private schools, taught by famous people, and had many contacts in the officialdom, which made it easy to get promoted. The opposite was true for the poor.

　　 Now that Xiao Ming prohibits private schools, this is tantamount to destroying their gesture resources, and the official selection examination is tantamount to destroying their personal connections. After such a toss, the soil for the survival of scholar-bureaucrats will completely disappear.

　　 When their official career ends, their son may no longer be able to enter the officialdom, and can only go to business, enter the factory, or farm.

　　 Xiao Ming looked at the attitude of the hundred officials with interest. This was only the first step he took to lead the empire towards modernization. The days to come will be long, and there are still many encouraging reforms to be carried out.

　　 But he also has some worries in his heart~www.ltnovel.com~ This time he has taken the power and wealthy too badly. If it causes a backlash, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

　　 But since he has made up his mind, he won't look back again. He dared to risk his life to kill the Qingzhou noble family, and now he also dares to fight the current noble family.

　　 "You Aiqing take back the contents of the decree and read it slowly. What do you think of the bad incident caused by Fei Tong?"

Pang Yukun said: "The emperor, Fei Tong has violated the law, he should be guilty of the same crime with the common people, and he should be punished with the crime of attempted murder. Relying on the imperial law, Fei Tong was exiled for three thousand miles and served in hard labor. Paid should conduct a thorough investigation and be punished with the result."

　　 Xiao Ming looked at Fiji, "Old Fei Ge, what do you think?"

　　 Fiji was already soaked in cold sweat. He wiped the cold sweat and said: "The old official thought that Pang Shoufu's words were extremely correct. I hope that the emperor will punish him heavily.

　　 Xiao Ming smiled with satisfaction, and all his goals in this incident were achieved.
