Chapter 1137: Waves
Li Zhongyi, who was on the high platform, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth high, and an inscrutable smile appeared on his face.
The copper stinker entered the city to become the master of the empire, and finally someone couldn't sit still and wanted to jump out and break his wrist with Li Zhongyi!
Although most of the generals have no culture, they all know a truth: whoever has a hard fist is the master!
Therefore, since Han Tong's army of more than 200,000 was completely defeated by the Li family army within an hour, although the generals in the capital can brag in private, no one dares to make a mistake!
However, the ministers were still lucky, and they were not willing to give up the various privileges that had already been obtained. Among the privileges enjoyed by the scholars, the core part is actually the monopoly of the imperial examination.
The children of the four people, the children of industry and commerce, were forbidden to participate in the imperial examination for less than three generations.
Scholars and peasants also monopolized the right to be officials. Although the workers and merchants belonged to the lower ranks, the merchants and craftsmen with their own crafts were generally more affluent than the rich peasants.
If both the artisan and merchant classes were allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, then the chances of supporting the children of the family to study and become officials with their wealthy families were much higher than those of ordinary middle-peasant families.
There is always a limit on the number of places to take the imperial examination, and if there is one more child of the industrial and commercial class, there will be one less official for the vested interest group, and the logical chain of interests is unusually clear.
Li Zhongyi's change in national policy that offended the scholar the most was actually to let an old farmer who couldn't read a single big character be a ten-grade official!
Everything is inferior, only reading is high!
The dignified scholar Lin Wenjie, how can he be an official in the same dynasty with the mud legs, isn't that a great insult to Sven?
The Wenchen who opposed Li Zhongyi was actually divided into several factions, one faction was a nerd like Zhou Huai'an, one faction was the scholar clan, and the other faction was the protagonist of today's farce.
The protagonists of today's scene want to use Zhou Huai'an to mix up the water in the capital, so that there will be a big problem with logistics supply, so that Li Zhongyi can be dragged back.
These people secretly contacted Li Chongjin, Li Yun, Western Shu, Northern Han, Southern Tang and Khitans, and instigated them to jointly attack Li Zhongyi.
Today, it is not only Li Zhongyi's enthronement ceremony, but also the time for a complete showdown, and the show officially begins!
"Wei Xianggong, since he has something to say, you let him finish speaking." Li Zhongyi coughed lightly and raised his voice slightly, "Lone Yi has always advocated that those who speak are not guilty, no matter how ugly he says, he will not add to the crime!" β
Li Zhongyi is a hyper-realist politician, and he has always made a clear distinction between the important and the important. As long as it is a public criticism in front of him, even if it is a spitting scolding, he can laugh it off.
In the long history of 5,000 years, as long as you dare to scold those in power in public, 99. 99999% are loyal ministers. The political logic is actually very simple, people who really have dirty ideas will only try their best to please Li Zhongyi, or keep silent and forbearance.
For example, Sima Yi, who launched the Gaopingling coup d'Γ©tat in history and seized the Cao family, has been pretending to be stupid and deceiving all the people in the world.
The sycophancy of the conspirators will surely be like a tide, trying to completely drown Li Zhongyi in the sea of sycophancy and make him completely disoriented.
Zhou Huai'an snorted, ignoring the kindness released by Li Zhongyi, he pulled his throat and asked Li Zhongyi sharply: "Since the founding of the country in China, I have always shared the world with scholars and doctors, how can I share the world with peddlers and pawns, and only those who are good at strange and obscene skills?" β
actually didn't even call the king, Zhou Huai'an was really crazy, which made everyone look sideways.
Wei Renpu was so angry that his nose was crooked, this Zhou Huai'an was really a rotten wood, not only could he not be carved, but he was even stupid to the root.
Li Qiong originally didn't plan to refute it out loud, but Zhou Huai'an really said it too inappropriately, and as the deputy minister of the cabinet, he had the obligation to resolutely refute it.
"Master Zhou, you have read a lot of books, can you know the outline of the monarch and the minister's father and son? Could it be that all your books have been read in the dog's belly? Although Li Qiong is literate, he is not good at writing like Li Zhongyi, and his first half of the refutation is very powerful, occupying the name of righteousness.
However, Li Qiong's inherent ruffian habits were too strong, and he spoke viciously and hurt people, and immediately committed public anger.
"Old Minister Li, I heard that you are about to be promoted to the first cousin of the dynasty? It must be known that foreign relatives interfering in politics is the first major harm of the country, if I am the prime minister, I must first resign from the position of second minister, and then I will be loyal to the country. β
Everyone took a closer look, good guy, a famous talent in the academy, Meng Dazhang, a bachelor, actually stepped forward.
Unlike Zhou Huai'an's direct attack on the national policy, Meng Dazhang directly aimed at the princess's father, Li Qiong, the second minister of the dynasty.
What is he doing here? The civil and military officials present were all dumbfounded, whether they were secretly involved or who still knew nothing, everyone was waiting to see Li Zhongyi's reaction.
According to common sense, in such a big incident on a day like today's auspicious day, the killing of the person concerned is already light, and the family is just around the corner!
Everyone was waiting to see Li Zhongyi's thunderous and angry appearance, however, what disappointed them was that Li Zhongyi not only did not get angry, but touched his chin, as if he was looking at a lively outsider, looking like an old god with no waves.
Zhou Huai'an saw that Li Zhongyi didn't have any reaction, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, and for a moment of sadness came from his heart, and he actually cried in public.
"Zhou Huai'an, on such a happy day, you dare to cry in public, this is ...... This is really disrespectful......"
"The surname is Zhou, are you eating too much pork and being blinded by lard?"
"Zhou Huai'an, if you want to die and go home to die, come here to mourn, it's not enough to exterminate your heinous crime......"
"Li Zhongyi, is that how you are a doctor?" Just when everyone was stunned, someone suddenly jumped out and scolded Li Zhongyi, "They all have families, I have enough food for the whole family, but it's just a lost head, what's the point?" I have to say all the words that I hold in my heart today, otherwise I won't be blind! β
Although Li Qiong is old, his eyes are not dazzling, he looked at it intently, and suddenly became angry, the person who jumped out was actually Zhang Zhenchang, the director of the Ministry of Rites, who was several times more stupid than Zhou Huai'an.
Zhang Zhenchang has a well-known nickname, poisonous tongue, he has no wife, no concubines, no children and no daughters, he has always been open-mouthed, and anyone dares to scold.
It's just that this person is honest and self-controlled, and he never reaches out to make black money, and the big people he offended can't even take his handle, so he can only kill his career and let him stay in the low position of the head of the Ministry of Rites for 20 years.
Wei Renpu is already an old man, and as soon as he looks at the frame in front of him, he knows that something is wrong, and if he doesn't do it, he will see blood and die!
