[The imperial examination system caused an uproar in the court, and all courtiers unanimously opposed it. The King of Wei decided to support you, implement the imperial examination system, and appoint you as the right prime minister, on an equal footing with the left prime minister, Gongzi Jiu, and the general Pang Ming. 】
Zhang Beichen didn't expect things to go so smoothly. To be honest, he felt that Wei Yao's support for him was a bit too much.
Every policy she made was weakening the power of the nobles. Every time Wei Yao agreed, her personal prestige was declining.
If it falls again, I'm afraid these people will initiate a campaign to abolish it!
…
[The ministers will kneel down in front of your palace and force you to abolish the imperial examination system. 】A new option appeared in front of Wei Yao.
[Choice 1: Never abolish the imperial examination system and let them continue to kneel. 】
[Option 2: Compromise temporarily and remove Zhang Beichen from his official position. 】
[Option 3: Abolish the imperial examination system and behead Zhang Beichen to stabilize the court. 】
Wei Yao didn't even think about it and directly chose option one, "They are a bunch of idiots. They just forget about it if they can't do it. They are jealous of Zhang Beichen and have no way out!"
[You insisted on implementing the imperial examination system, and even went on a hunger strike to death despite the protests of several veterans. Everyone in the government and the public was dissatisfied with you, and your prestige was greatly reduced. 】
Wei Yao was a little panicked at first, but the new news made her look happy again.
[The intimacy between you and Zhang Beichen has increased by 100 points, and your relationship has reached "love". 】
"Ah? In love!" Wei Yao suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, a little expectant and a little uneasy.
She had never been in love before, and even if it was just a simulated relationship this time, she felt a nervous feeling in her heart.
"What should we do after falling in love? Could it be..." Wei Yao couldn't help but blush and her heart beat when she thought of some secret albums she had seen.
However, Zhang Beichen did not have time to fall in love with her. The implementation of the imperial examination system had exhausted his daily energy.
[The resistance to the implementation of the imperial examination system is extremely huge. In order to establish your authority, you had to remove many noble officials and kill some people. 】
[With your efforts, the imperial examination was still held. This was the first time among all the countries that there was an imperial examination, and students from all over the world came to hear about it. You personally served as the examiner and admitted a large number of students from poor families with outstanding knowledge. Your reputation greatly increased among the students from poor families, and they respected you as their teacher. 】
[Three years after the imperial examination system was implemented, Wei's officialdom was rectified and the country's strength was greatly enhanced. Students from the seven countries rushed to come to Wei. 】
[The Wei State annexed the Song State, Yiqu and South Korea, and its strength increased dramatically, becoming the strongest vassal state in the world! 】
[Another year of imperial examination, this time, large-scale fraud broke out. The court officials headed by Gongzi Jiu began to attack you, thinking that you should take the blame and resign. 】
"These villains can't help it anymore." Zhang Beichen knew that the nobles would not give up. They were waiting for the opportunity.
They were definitely involved in this imperial examination fraud.
…
Wei Yao faced a difficult choice.
Now hundreds of officials are complaining to her and want to deal with Zhang Beichen, the examiner. If she suppresses it and does not deal with it, her reputation will fall below that of the monarch, which means that she will soon be deposed by the official office.
If she dealt with Zhang Beichen, it would not be in line with her wishes.
Just when Wei Yao was in a dilemma, new news appeared.
[Zhang Beichen took the initiative to accept his fault, resigned from his official position, and retired to the countryside. 】
"Ah?" Wei Yao was a little reluctant. She had finally trained Zhang Beichen to be the Prime Minister of the Right, and in a few years he could be promoted to the Prime Minister of the Left, replacing Young Master Jiu.
Wei Yao had no choice but to reward Zhang Beichen with a large amount of land, servants, gold, silver and jewelry so that he could retire in peace.
Wei Yao himself is still thinking of ways to enhance his prestige and fight against stubborn forces.
…
Zhang Beichen did not give up the idea of assisting King Wei, he just realized that he could implement his policies in another way.
Nowadays, relying on the imperial examination system, many scholars from poor families have appeared in the Wei Dynasty. These people all regard Zhang Beichen as their teacher. Although he no longer has an official position, his influence has been increasing.
As long as the imperial examination system continues to be implemented, sooner or later his power will be able to overthrow the stubborn forces such as Gongzi Jiu, and by then Wei will be strong enough to unify the world.
[After you retired to the countryside, you decided to major in Confucianism and Taoism. While sorting out the classics of Confucian sages, you opened a school and recruited many disciples. 】
[Your Confucianism and Taoism cultivation are growing rapidly, and your disciples are all over the world. 】
[In the court, the conflict between the poor scholars and the aristocratic officials became more and more serious. Prince Jiu began to control the imperial examination and only admitted the aristocratic children. This caused dissatisfaction among the poor scholars, and finally the conflict broke out. 】
[The scholars from a poor family criticized the nobles verbally and writtenly. Since the King of Wei favored the scholars from a poor family, Prince Jiu decided to cut the trouble quickly. He joined forces with General Pang Ming to control the capital and imperial guards, and together with the elders of the Gongshi clan, forced Wei Yao to abdicate. 】
…
Wei Yao had a face, she had been fighting these people for several years, but she still couldn't win and was forced to abdicate.
If she abdicates, she will most likely be put under house arrest for a few years and then secretly killed!
Above the court, the Imperial Guards took control of the main hall, and Prince Jiu drew his sword towards Wei Yao who was on the throne.
He pointed at Wei Yao and shouted: "Wei Yao, you are a foolish king. You listened to the villain's slander. You have made the entire Wei State a mess. If you continue like this, the Wei State will be destroyed!"
The elder of the Gongshi clan scolded: "You actually joined forces with outsiders to suppress the Gongshi. This is unfilial. You are not qualified to sit on this throne, whether according to national or clan law!"
General Pang Ming sneered and said nothing.
At this time, a voice came: "Forcing the monarch to abdicate, is this how you become loyal ministers? A group of rebellious ministers!"
Zhang Beichen was seen striding forward in Confucian uniform. The soldiers tried to stop him, but they were all bounced away by the awe-inspiring righteousness on his body.
General Pang Ming also changed his expression: "Ninth Realm Peak, Zhang Beichen, have you been hiding your strength?"
Zhang Beichen ignored them, faced Wei Yao, and said politely: "My king, I am here today to invite my king to be a guest at my home."
"Zhang Beichen, no one can take Wei Yao away today!" Young Master Jiu scolded.
"I said I wanted to take him away, so I took him away. Let's see who dares to stop me!" Zhang Beichen said, shouting: "Where is my Confucian disciple?"
"Honored Master, the disciples are here!" Three thousand Confucian disciples appeared outside the main hall. Their articles and poems turned into words and swords, repelling the soldiers one by one.
Not only that, they are also shrouded in the power of national destiny and are extremely powerful.
"Zhang Beichen is now a famous teacher in the world and has countless disciples. Wei Yao is also the king. If they are killed, the Wei Kingdom may be in chaos." His subordinates advised Young Master Qiu, "It is better to let them go first and then deal with them slowly."
After hearing this, Young Master Jiu could only let the two of them leave temporarily.
[You led Wei Yao out of the palace. With the support of the nobles and the royal family, Prince Jiu ascended the throne, changed his name to Wei Jiu, and became the new King of Wei. 】
[You and Wei Yao return to the countryside, but you find that your home is heavily guarded. Wei Jiu has sent troops to put you under house arrest. You ignored it completely and continued teaching and writing books. 】
…
"I was taken back by Zhang Beichen?" Wei Yao was not too upset about losing the throne. Her mind was already immersed in another matter.
Her intimacy with Zhang Beichen has reached the level of love, and the two of them live under the same roof. Wouldn't something inappropriate for children happen?
