Lin Feng shook his sleeves and said calmly: "Xu Jijiu's words are indeed reasonable compared to Guo Tu and Cui Jing. But after careful analysis, these problems of yours are not problems at all. .”
Xu Yifu said with a smile: "Zhen Guo Gong's answer does not have any evidence. If you want to object, you must have something to say. My words are well-founded. Zhen Guo Gong's words are weak and without any argument."
Lin Feng said: "Why are Xu Jijiu panicking? I just said an introduction. But you are right. What you say must be meaningful and there must be sufficient evidence. Otherwise, how can you convince people?"
Xu Yifu chuckled.
This is nonsense.
Lin Feng just said what he said was right, and what he said was true?
Is there anything?
Xu Yifu was a little worried just now, but at this moment, Xu Yifu suddenly became energetic. He felt that Lin Feng's words revealed Lin Feng's lack of confidence. There is no need for more people to come forward. Xu Yifu alone is enough to make Lin Feng speechless.
Xu Yifu adjusted his posture imperceptibly, holding his head high, confident and calm.
Lin Feng smiled heartily when he saw Xu Yifu's attitude. This Xu Yifu's attitude has changed too obviously, from being arrogant at first to being respectful at the same time.
"Xu Jijiu, you just said that the people of the world are boycotting it. I want to ask, who are the so-called people of the world?"
Lin Feng asked the question.
Xu Yifu said: "The people of the world are naturally the people of Qin, Jin and Qi. These are the people of the world."
"absurd!"
Lin Feng scolded him again.
"The people of the world you talk about are just nobles. They are the nobles of Qin State and the aristocratic families of Qin State."
"This is the person you call the world."
"You said they would oppose it because it touches on their interests. The people of the world that I understand are the common people of the world. The common people have a way out and room for advancement, so who will complain? Full support is enough."
Lin Feng said: "So there is no need for Xu Jijiu to be secretive when he refutes me. You yourself are from an aristocratic family, and you represent a wealthy family. You are defending yourself, so there is no need to hide it. Are you right?"
Xu Yifu's face felt a little hot and he couldn't hold back his face.
Lin Feng's words were too sharp.
Of course, the people in the world he mentioned are indeed the rich and powerful families in the world.
The rich and powerful families will definitely resist.
Xu Yifu no longer held any reservations and said directly: "Prince Zhen Guo, when implementing a policy, interests must be taken into consideration. Opening a subject to obtain scholars will involve the interests of wealthy families and will definitely affect the interests of noble families."
"So it's normal for them to resist."
"Once they all resist, it will be difficult to implement the program. So I think we still have to talk."
"Although I come from a wealthy family, I am not opposed to the establishment of an imperial examination. I just think that we should reconsider it and wait until everything is fully discussed before we consider the implementation of the imperial examination. This is the most appropriate and comprehensive arrangement."
Xu Yifu said confidently: "Otherwise, if we implement it wholesale, it will cause turmoil."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "That's right. If you have anything to say, just say it directly and clearly. Otherwise, I will have to explain it after exposing it."
Xu Yifu only felt tired.
Talking to Lin Feng was very tiring.
Xu Yifu took a deep breath, cheered up and said, "Mr. Zhen Guo, you have always been talking about my questions. I still hope that the Duke will be more straightforward and give a clear answer."
Lin Feng turned to look at Ying Jiuxiao and said: "Your Majesty, I want to bring some people into the hall. Please allow your Majesty."
"That's right!"
Ying Jiuxiao nodded and answered.
Lin Feng ordered: "Come here and bring people in from outside the imperial city."
After receiving the order, the eunuch immediately went to deliver the order.
In the main hall, it became quiet.
Ying Jiuxiao is very curious, how does Lin Feng plan to break the situation? He didn't get any news. Judging from Lin Feng's appearance, he seemed to have been prepared.
For a time, Ying Jiuxiao had expectations.
Xu Yifu's mentality changed again. Originally he thought he was sure of winning, but looking at the current situation, the situation was not good. Lin Feng actually wanted to bring someone in. It was obvious that Lin Feng came prepared.
The ministers in the DPRK were discussing and thinking one by one.
Zhang Yi and Wang Tang were insiders, and they knew very well that today it was necessary to finalize the decision to open an imperial examination to obtain scholars, and to make the imperial examination a national policy of the Qin State. How to refute hundreds of officials and get everyone's support, Zhang Yi and Wang Tang don't know, and neither of them has expressed their stance for the time being.
They are people with a strong say in the court and cannot express their opinions easily. While everyone was waiting, not long after, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and about twenty people entered the hall together.
The leader was Zhang Yunlai.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Yi's heart suddenly jumped when he saw the person coming, wondering why this bastard Zhang Yunlai got involved.
Wang Tang's expression changed slightly because he saw people from the Wang family.
Many of the court officials' expressions changed.
Many of the people who came were family members of court officials. This scene was shocking.
Xu Yifu's eyes widened even more, because he glanced around and found that his son Xu Hongmiao was also there.
What a bastard!
How come Xu Hongmiao got mixed up with Lin Feng? You know, Xu Yifu is now opposing the imperial examination proposed by Lin Feng, but Xu Hongmiao came out and clearly sided with Lin Feng. Such a move was tantamount to backstabbing him as a father.
Wow! !
In the main hall, there was a lot of discussion.
The expressions of all the officials have changed.
Lin Feng glanced at the expressions of the officials, smiled in his heart, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, twenty people have entered here. The leader is Zhang Yunlai, the son of Zhang Yi, the official minister, and is from the Zhang family. The rest are from the Zhang family. big family."
"Just now Xu Jijiu said that aristocratic families and noble families would boycott, so let's invite people from noble families to talk about it. Will they boycott?"
"Mr. Zhang, you come first."
Lin Feng's eyes fell on Zhang Yunlai.
At this moment, everyone also looked at Zhang Yunlai, which made Zhang Yunlai feel even more stressed.
Fortunately, Zhang Yunlai was born in the Zhang family and ran Yuan Qingfang, so he had seen big scenes. Although he faced the doubtful look from his father, Zhang Yunlai still remained calm, raised his hands and saluted Ying Jiuxiao, and said: "Common Zhang Yunlai is here to pay homage to your majesty."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Zhang Yunlai, what do you have to say?"
Zhang Yunlai said: "Your Majesty, the common people support the opening of schools to recruit scholars. The reason is very simple. There are many children in my Zhang family. If we rely on the imperial court to recruit and inspect, it is impossible for everyone in the Zhang family to be recommended, which will be criticized. "
"Once the imperial court opens courses to recruit scholars, my Zhang family has the ability to participate and be selected. It is the ability of the Zhang family to get official positions arranged by the court. Our Zhang family is not afraid of challenges, so why should we be afraid of ordinary people?"
"Even compared with these people, we have enough advantages. We have been studying since we were young, so what are we afraid of? The most important point is that there are too many people in the family. Even if the family has resources, it is impossible for all people to receive support."
"If you open a subject to get a scholar, people from all branches of the family, as long as they are capable, can get the opportunity."
Zhang Yunlai bowed and said: "In that case, why don't you support it? Instead of opposing it, it is better to support it, and it is better to participate fully."
In the main hall, there were people talking quietly again.
What Zhang Yunlai said makes sense. Why should they be afraid of children from poor families?
Not afraid at all.
They have sufficient strength, they have enough vision, and they have the poetry and ways of doing things inherited from their families.
Compared with the children from poor families, they have too many advantages.
Of course, there are many people who are still unhappy. Once the imperial examination was opened, their right to recommend talents would be transferred to the emperor's hands. The person who can truly master talents is no longer a wealthy family, but an emperor.
Lin Feng glanced at Xu Yifu, glanced at the other officials, and continued: "Speak one by one and explain your thoughts carefully."
"Your Majesty, Xu Hongmiao, a common man, was born in the Xu family of Chencang, Yongzhou. I think it is very simple to open a school to get scholars, because the family only has so many resources, and it is impossible to train more people. Opening a school to get scholars will make more people in the family , can take part in the imperial examination. For example, my two concubines will have the opportunity."
Xu Hongmiao expressed his stance directly.
Lin Feng didn't know that Xu Hongmiao was Xu Yifu's son, and he didn't care even if he knew.
But many officials knew it. They looked at Xu Yifu, but sighed in their hearts, Xu Yifu was completely defeated.
Ying Jiuxiao listened to the discussion of the people in the hall, with a smile on his face.
He was very happy.
It's done.
When Zhang Yun came to speak, Ying Jiuxiao could predict that what would follow would be extremely smooth.
Xu Yifu looked extremely embarrassed.
He said that the big family would resist, but Zhang Yunlai came directly to slap him in the face, and then his son also expressed his position.
"Your Majesty, Cao Min Jiang Road, a member of the Jiang family in Liangzhou. Cao Min also believes that it is very good to recruit scholars by opening schools. Scholars in Liangzhou have always had few opportunities to recruit scholars. Now that they can open schools and recruit scholars, they will be treated fairly. This is our opportunity."
"Your Majesty, Caomin Liu Ye is a member of the Liu family of Zitong in Shuzhou. Caomin also believes that it is very good to recruit scholars through open schools, because through open schools to recruit scholars, the disciples trained by the family will have the opportunity to become officials. At least they will become officials in a fair and just manner."
…
More and more people are taking a stand.
After all twenty people had finished speaking, they all supported the imperial examination.
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, members of the family benefit from the opening of subjects to obtain scholars. They are all from big families, and the children of these families are far superior to ordinary children from poor families. Under this premise, many people think this is a good thing.
As for big families taking power, they have to control the power of conquest and inspection. The problem is that these rights are, after all, in the hands of a very small number of people. Most big families are actually not involved in these and can only seek help from their connections.
With the imperial examination, it is very good for the children of concubines or collateral children of large families.
Therefore, many people in the big family also support it.
This is Lin Feng's purpose.
He knew that a big family would refute the imperial examination, so he arranged for Zhang Yun to come and find someone. Of course, Lin Feng promised benefits. Those who came forward could arrange for people to study at White Deer Academy.
This is an exchange of benefits.
However, it is also worth it.
The imperial court has set the national policy of imperial examination. As long as we take the first step, everything in the future will be easier to handle.
Lin Feng took the words, stepped forward, faced Xu Yifu, and said sternly: "Xu Jijiu, all the rich people gathered in Xianyang support it. By extension, it can be foreseen that the rich and powerful families in Qin State will , will not boycott it either. Even if there are people who boycott it, it will be a very small number. Therefore, what you say is not true."
Kick! Kick!
Xu Yifu took two steps back with a horrified look on his face.
Lin Feng treated the other person with his own medicine. He said that the big family would resist, but Lin Feng directly asked the children of the big family to slap him in the face.
There is no chance to argue.
Xu Yifu bowed and bowed, and said seriously: "Dong Zhenguo, I am convinced that I have lost."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's good that Xu Jijiu is convinced. Now that Xu Jijiu agrees with opening up subjects to get scholars, let's wait for the next person to refute. Next person, who has any questions?"
Zhang Yunlai, Xu Hongmiao and others were led out.
Twenty people heard Lin Feng's words, and they were filled with emotion. People are different. Lin Feng was admirable for his verbal battle with the ministers in the hall, and for fighting against hundreds of officials alone.
As expected of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't know what Zhang Yunlai and others were thinking. He smiled slightly and continued: "If we don't raise questions now and implement the imperial examination in the future, there will be no room for questions. When we opposed it before, everyone agreed, and they all disagreed with the opening of the examination. Get soldiers. Why are only Cui Jing, Guo Tu and Xu Yifu coming out now?"
At this moment, Lin Feng spoke forcefully.
No more saving face.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit serious, and everyone was thinking about whether to come forward.
"Lin Feng, I have a question."
At this moment, King Ping Yinghong of Qin stood up.
Lin Feng said: "What questions does His Highness Prince Ping have?"
Now, finally, a clan has arrived.
Here comes a decent man.
This talent is the key. Lin Feng refuted Ying Hong. Both the civil servants and the clan were speechless, and the matter was completely settled.
Everything depends on this step.
