Ying Zheng, who returned to the palace, was deeply moved when he thought about what Ran Fang said.
He seemed to see that this change would be historic for Da Qin and must be great.
But this change will definitely be met with resistance or infamy from those nobles.
As long as he can be kind to Da Qin, what if he suffers from infamy? !
The second day is Qilin Hall.
Today's morning meeting, the ministers have been waiting for a long time. Everyone is chatting, and the expressions on their faces are like those of peaceful times.
When Ying Zheng came in, they immediately restrained their expressions, and their expressions were full of respect from their eyes to their movements.
"See Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng glanced at the kneeling people and said calmly, "Get up."
After everyone stood still, he spoke first without waiting for anyone in the audience to speak.
"This corruption case has such a result. I am so disappointed by the officials in the DPRK and China!"
During this period of time, they had also received news about the investigation of those people. Everyone was a little scared, for fear that something would be implicated in the investigation.
For this reason, they have been keeping a low profile these days, trying not to catch His Majesty's eyes.
So at this moment, all the officials in the audience lowered their heads, and no one dared to stand up at this time, for fear that His Majesty would be angry with them.
But after Ying Zheng said the last word, they loudly shouted: "I am guilty."
Ying Zheng seemed to have not seen it, and continued: "So, I have decided to implement the imperial examination system!"
In one sentence, all the ministers in the court were stunned. No one knew what the imperial examination system meant.
Just as they were stunned, Ying Zheng continued: "Pass on my order to summon talented people to Xianyang. Regardless of their status, if they can be among the top five in the scientific examination held in Xianyang City after May, they can Enter the court and become an official."
"Take the leader of the Qin Dynasty and Guizhou as the first, and tell the world immediately!"
No one expected that Ying Zheng would say such shocking words from the beginning.
Letting the head of Guizhou become an official in the court is simply a joke to those who hold hereditary official positions!
Li Si, who was standing in front of the crowd, looked a little surprised. It only took him a moment to understand what Ying Zheng meant.
He did not expect that Ying Zheng would implement this order. Could it be that he wanted to fight against all the ministers in the court?
Without thinking, he knew that this method was suggested by Ran Fang.
Every time Ran Fang proposed before, it was beneficial to Da Qin, and he was able to accept it.
But this time, when a group of Guizhou leaders are allowed to serve as officials in the court, does Ran Fang know what this means? !
It is simply causing trouble to Chao Gang!
Moreover, judging from Ying Zheng's intention, the matter had already been decided and he had no intention of discussing it with them, which made Li Si feel a little unacceptable.
Thinking about it, Li Si was the first to stand up, walked to the middle of the hall, and respectfully gave a standard salute to Ying Zheng.
Then he said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think this matter...is inappropriate."
Those officials were originally shocked by Ying Zheng's words, but it only took them a moment to understand the pros and cons. This was definitely not a good thing for people promoted by these aristocratic families.
Seeing Li Si standing up first, the remaining ministers also stood behind Li Si. After saluting Ying Zheng, they said in unison: "I second my opinion."
The expression on Ying Zheng's face did not show the slightest surprise. He had expected these results.
But he had no intention of listening to them. He had already decided on this matter, and there was absolutely no turning back.
For a moment, the atmosphere in Chaoshang became tense.
Li Si knew Ying Zheng best and knew that Ying Zheng would never compromise in such a head-to-head confrontation.
So he just paused for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, the capital of Guizhou is all Bai Ding. If they can enter the court and serve as officials, wouldn't it mean that the world would laugh at them for the Qin Dynasty?"
"When we studied the official system, we already gave them the opportunity. As long as they have the ability, they can join the court as officials. Why do we still want the head of Guizhou to become an official?"
"But if we continue to implement the imperial examination system, it will be inconsistent with our Daqin government decrees."
"I believe that this matter should be discussed in a long-term manner and should not be rushed."
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
This is not only Li Si's idea, but also the idea of all the ministers in the court.
They all stood firmly behind Li Si, silently supporting Li Si, and shouted in unison: "Please take back your life!"
When Ying Zheng brought up the corruption case just now, no one dared to come forward.
Nowadays, they are very united in opposing Yingzheng's implementation of the imperial examination system.
The expression on Ying Zheng's face suddenly turned ugly. How could he not know what these people were thinking?
However, he never paid attention to some innocuous things.
But now he dares to oppose himself, how can he bear it? !
Moreover, this imperial examination system is definitely beneficial and harmless to Da Qin!
As Ran Fang said, the purpose of compiling books is to win over people's hearts. If they join the court as officials, it will be able to show to other places that the Qin Dynasty is indeed willing to accept the leaders of Guizhou in the world. Wouldn't this be better?
But these people want to stop this!
"There is no need to object to this matter, I have decided!"
With just these words, the officials in the hall did not dare to say any more.
Everyone knows Ying Zheng's temper, and no one can change what he decides.
What's more, Ying Zheng's tone just now was no longer good. If anyone dares to say more, he may be left with nothing to eat.
As a result, even if the officials below were unconvinced, they could only lower their heads and swallow their complaints, and then said in a deep voice: "I obey the order."
Looking at their expressions, Ying Zheng knew what they were thinking.
He also knew that the imperial examination would not go so smoothly.
But so what? !
As long as the best results can be achieved, he doesn't care about these things. He just needs to find someone to supervise this matter.
After the ministers finished speaking, Wei Liang, the eunuch beside Ying Zheng, stepped forward and said in a sharp and loud voice: "Retreat from the court——"
Everyone had no choice but to accept this matter resignedly.
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
After Ying Zheng left, the ministers walked out of the Qilin Hall one after another.
Everyone had a hint of resentment and confusion in their expressions. No one could figure out why His Majesty suddenly held the imperial examination system. This was really unheard of!
The official who was on good terms with Li Si walked up to Li Si and asked in a low voice: "Prime Minister, what does your Majesty mean by this?"
"Why do you suddenly have this idea?"
Li Si glanced at him, said nothing, and continued walking out of the palace.
If he had known about it, he would have gone to the palace to admonish Ying Zheng, but he was caught off guard by Ying Zheng in the morning court.
After receiving a rejection from Li Si, the official did not dare to pester him, so he stayed away angrily and discussed the matter with other officials.
But Li Si was thinking that after His Majesty entered Xianyang Prison yesterday, he did not see any officials in his palace, so the matter must be related to Ran Fang.
But he couldn't understand why Ran Fang would make such a suggestion?
"It seems that if we want His Majesty to take back his life, we have to start from Ran Fang."
