Everyone's evaluation of Han Dong, the chief minister of the cabinet, is not very good.

Some people even think that Han Dong is a betrayer of the Donglin Party and a traitor who has no principles and no bottom line in order to gain power. If you hand this issue over to Han Dong, it will basically be like there is no chance.

In the complex eyes of everyone, Han Yu took a steadily step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I agree to replace Mencius with Xunzi."

After saying this, Han Yu turned around and stood on the other side without any extra moves.

After hearing Han Yu's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. It seems that my dear friends are all thinking this way. Very good, so let's do it."

He turned his head to look at Huang Kezhang, and said with a smile: "Huang Aiqing, leave this matter to you. You will work with the Ministry of Rites to do this matter well and don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will not let Your Majesty down." Huang Kezhang quickly took a step and said respectfully.

After hearing this promise, Zhu Youxiao put away his smile, stood up and said, "Then let's get here today."

After saying this, he ignored everyone and turned around and walked out to the back.

News from today's grand ceremony soon spread, and no one expected that he would agree one-sidedly.

Is this really too strange?

Is it because everyone in the court is mediocre, and there is no one who dares to stand up and speak?

For a moment, public opinion was rampant.

In fact, the reason for this is very simple, that is, there is no one in the top management.

Since Zhu Youxiao traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he has been cleaning up the Donglin Party in the court, and every time the Donglin Party members were removed batch by batch.

Like the Ministry of Works and Revenue, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, all of them were cleaned by Zhu Youxiao.

The four Grand Secretary of the Cabinet are also those who stayed after the cleaning.

The Censorate, which has always been good at slandering people, has long been cleaned up. Now the leader is Yu Maoheng, the confidant minister of Zhu Youxiao. The big troll who dances the most in the Censorate is Cui Chengxiu.

In such a situation, how could the senior management have voices of objection?

As for the people in the lower class who want to object, what are the solutions?

You don’t even have the chance to stand in the court, how can you object?

Do you want to talk to the morning court?

What a pity, you don't have the qualifications.

This time, the Grand Court only summoned civil and military officials of the fourth rank or above. Anyway, officials below this level are not qualified to participate. Therefore, it is not surprising that this situation of one-sided agreement is not at all.

To put it bluntly, although this decision does not meet the people's wishes, it is recognized by the court.

It is because the court and the people think differently. Every big shot in the court has his own ideas and interests. After starting from their own interests, they decide that this policy should be supported because everyone can share the benefits from this policy.

Although these big guys did not agree very much, they could still agree, so the current situation was formed.

The public opposition is still very fierce, but it is useless and cannot be conveyed to the top, so no matter how you jump, there will be no result.

Moreover, this kind of reform does not look like the implementation of a system, and requires the next level of cooperation.

The reform of the imperial examination is completely top-down, and there is no need for the next level of cooperation at all.

Well, either you won’t take the exam, and this is the place you can refuse the most.

It’s fine if you don’t participate in the imperial examination. But you can’t let everyone not participate in the imperial examination, there will always be someone who is willing to participate.

Once someone goes, this confrontation is of little use.

As for the lower-level officials, the court will ask you to take Xunzi as the exam. If you don’t listen, you will take Mencius as the exam. What is that?

Disobeying the imperial orders and disobeying the emperor's imperial edict. Do you know what the crime is?

Other crimes can be found to be excused or excused, but this crime cannot be avoided. This is a policy that is suppressed from top to bottom.

For a moment, the capital was in full swing, countless people were running around and shouting, countless people were cursing wildly, and even several incidents of blocking sedan chairs occurred.

Of course, they stopped the sedan chairs of important officials in the court, venting their emotions angrily, cursing loudly that these important officials were not worthy of being officials or scholars; at the same time, they also screamed and letting these important officials stand up and speak.

For a moment, the entire capital was bustling.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao laughed.

To put it bluntly, it can be seen from this incident that in many cases, the interests of the court are inconsistent with the interests of the local government.

What Zhu Youxiao wants is to select some truly useful talents for the country and talents that can be used by the country.

But the local government doesn't think so. Their first idea is that I want to be an official, and it doesn't matter how I pass the exam. Even if it's a competition, as long as I'm good at it, it doesn't matter.

This policy has been opposed by so many people because most scholars read "Mencius". They are not used to it after suddenly changing it to "Xunzi".

But more of it is fear of the unknown and the fear of not wanting to change.

He looked up at Chen Hong, and Zhu Youxiao asked expressionlessly: "No one is going to kneel in front of the palace, right?"

If someone goes to the front of the palace to scold him, or makes someone go to the Meridian Gate to kneel down and give advice, this is the real trouble.

As for the others, they are not that important at all. They like to stop officials' sedan chairs.

"Your Majesty, such a thing will not happen." Chen Hong hurriedly bowed and promised.

In fact, such a thing will not happen, because this time, the Jinyiwei and the East Factory were all staring at each other.

As long as someone wants to do this, Jinyiwei and Dongchang will be ready to strangle it to death directly in the bud.

Whoever dares to do this will kill you directly?

Zhu Youxiao nodded. He knew what Chen Hong meant and did not continue to ask.

As long as this kind of thing doesn't happen, the reason why it doesn't happen is not that important.

He stood up and moved his body. Zhu Youxiao said as if he remembered something: "Today is the day for the examination in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Go back to the emperor, it's indeed." Chen Hong quickly lowered his head and said.

"Then prepare for it, let's go and have a look." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was really bored when he stayed in the palace; another point was that he really cared about the examinations in the Office of the Interior.

The reason is very simple. This is a future path. Because the announcement of the permission of clerks to participate, it caused a lot of storms, but it was not very big. Because this was the emperor's family affairs after all, it was not easy for others to interfere too much.

According to Founderhua's report a few days ago, the Office of the Internal Affairs has indeed received many registrations from clerks.

For these clerks, there is no harm in trying it out.

Besides, who is willing to be a clerk for the rest of his life?

As long as you can get into the Interior Office, you will be an official. Although you are a private official of the emperor's family, you may even be called a slave to the royal family. What does that matter?

That is also an official. The Jinyiwei is also called the Emperor's Eagle Dog, but who dares to underestimate others?

The so-called status is actually compared. Some people raise their own value and look like I am nobler than you. They have created it countless times and raised themselves countless times, and then the people below really believe it.

This is what scholars keep doing because they have the right to speak.

In fact, this is the same as some ethnology and race theory in later generations. People have the right to speak and the power of the world economy, and they will tell you that I am more noble.

What makes people speechless is that some people really believe it, but they still believe in it.

Although officials of the Office of the Internal Affairs Office will be despised, will the clerk not be looked down upon?

In any case, it would be a great progress to go from a clerk to an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Under such circumstances, the enthusiasm of the clerk to register is conceivable. You must know that this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who knows if there is such an opportunity in the future?

So they must grasp it.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to go and see what the results were, and whether one or two talents would pop up.

"Yes, Emperor, I will prepare now." Chen Hong quickly agreed.

While Zhu Youxiao was preparing to leave the palace, the Song brothers and Zhang Yu also came to the door of a family.

Although Zhang Yu said he wanted to come by himself, the Song brothers still accompanied him.

In Song Yingsheng's words, the three of us should advance and retreat together when we reach this point. If we succeed, we will be in the court together; if we fail, we will go home to farm together.

Zhang Yu didn't say much about the friendship between the Song brothers, and the three of them came together.

Song Yingsheng and the others came to Feng Congwu's house.

For Song Yingsheng and the other two, this is not the place they should come. But they all knew that it would be impossible not to come.

After receiving a reply from Song Yingsheng and the other two, Feng Congwu also gave a reply, willing to see the three of them. This was why today's meeting was met.

Otherwise, you will come to the door in a daze, and no one will meet you, and the concierge will directly call you out.

Because this is a matter of no etiquette, you are looking down on others. Unless a big person comes to the home of a small person, you can go directly. This is called a polite and a wise man.

The concierge knew that Song Yingsheng and the other two would come, so he took them all in directly.

Song Yingsheng and the other two took them to the second living room behind, and someone stepped down after serving tea.

Song Yingsheng and the other two looked at each other.

Zhang Yu said leisurely: "It's not easy to live in the capital!"

Song Yingsheng glared at Zhang Yu because what Zhang Yu said was obviously ironic.
