"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites must not be abolished."

Wang Chengye's body trembled and shouted loudly.

Xiao Ming snorted angrily, "Wang Chengye, don't you know about the establishment of a private school with Tang Guogong and Fei Pei?" As a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, not only did you not respect Neo-Confucianism to eliminate the complicated etiquette of the people, but you were bent on deepening the estrangement between the children of the nobles and the children of the poor families. ”

After receiving the order, the guards guarding the gate of the main hall walked up to Wang Chengye and removed the official talisman he was wearing.

Officials of the empire must wear official charms in addition to official robes, and once the official charms are removed, it means that they are dismissed.

Ge Yiren was euphemistically persuaded by Xiao Ming to go home to retire, Wang Chengye was directly dismissed, and the entire Ministry of Rites may be abolished.

Such a fierce action made the officials frightened, and they understood that the emperor would be serious.

Fiji knelt on the ground from beginning to end, and now his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he was glad that he had made the relationship between himself and Fei Tong clear in time, otherwise there would be himself among the unlucky people this time.

After disposing of Ge Yiren and Wang Chengye, Xiao Ming returned to his seat, and he said loudly: "I know that there are definitely more than a few people who support the establishment of private schools, and I also know that there are more than a few officials who are corrupt and pervert the law. ”

With a long sigh, Xiao Ming said; "Remember, it is not my credit that you are still able to stand in this court today, but the credit of thousands of hard-working people and those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

After a deep sigh, he said; "Feitong's hurting people seems to be just a fight, but in fact it is the outbreak of contradictions between the powerful and the Hanmen, today is just a fight between the two, and in the future, it may be the whole world killing each other, for the prosperity of the empire, for the sake of the foundation of the future, I declare to the world that the establishment of private schools is prohibited."

"Your Majesty." Pang Yukun was overjoyed.

Zhan Xingchang said: "Your Majesty, although private learning is banned, the contradictions between the students of the school still cannot be resolved, and the reason is that it is because of the idea of distinguishing between the noble and the low. ”

Xiao Ming nodded, he said: "The decree is only one aspect, practical actions can really solve this problem, whether it is law, economy, education, or policy, we must completely cancel the various privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy, and at the same time vigorously promote the idea of equality, so that the people will no longer feel inferior, and the most important thing is to break the solidification of the class, so that the people of the whole world have a channel to rise, so from today on, the official selection system of the empire will change, and it will change greatly." ”

With that, he gestured to Qian Dafu.

Qian Dafu walked down with the documents in his arms at this time, and sent them to the officials in the court one by one.

Pang Yukun and the others took the document and looked at it carefully, and were suddenly surprised.

"Imperial Official Selection Examination System!" Pang Yukun said.

"That's right, starting from this year, the empire will fully implement the official selection system, all students who have the certificates of completion of major colleges are eligible to participate in the official selection examination, and all students who pass the examination can be assigned to various positions in the government according to their grades and what they have learned. Xiao Ming said.

Yang Chengye said: "Your Majesty, the exam can only prove a person's knowledge, but it can't prove a person's morality. ”

Xiao Ming smiled, he had been thinking about this question, the official selection exam he launched was somewhat similar to the contemporary civil service exam, but it was by no means more than that.

"What Yang Aiqing said makes sense, so I have prepared two methods, one is that those who have passed the test will have a special career to visit their school, their hometown in order to get their evaluation among their neighbors, friends, and classmates.

"The emperor is wise." Yang Chengye was relieved, in his opinion, the emperor's actions this time combined the current imperial popular examination system and the previous filial piety system.

In this way, while ensuring the level of officials, the level of moral character of officials can be controlled.

Zhan Xingchang said: "If the official selection system is implemented, the children of the powerful must also pass the examination before they can enter the imperial court, so that the children of the poor and the children of the powerful compete for knowledge rather than identity, and if there are no children of the powerful family can enter the officialdom, they will decline after one or two generations, which is the circulation up and down." ”

Officials from humble backgrounds in the court naturally rejoiced at this policy, while those who were conservative were in mourning, because it meant that the scholarly class would disappear completely.

In the past, the scholar class almost mastered the resources of studying, and the children of the scholar class could study in private schools, taught by famous families, and had many connections to enter the officialdom, and it was easy to be promoted, while the children of poor families were the opposite.

Now Xiao Ming prohibits running private schools, which is tantamount to ruining their gesture resources, and the official selection examination is equivalent to ruining their personal relationships.

When their own officialdom is over, their sons may no longer be able to enter officialdom, but can only go into business, enter factories, or farm.

Xiao Ming looked at the demeanor of the hundred officials with interest, this is just the first step in leading the empire to modernization, there are still a long time to come, and there are still many encouraging reforms to be carried out.

However, he is also a little worried in his heart, this time he has made the powerful people too miserable, and if it causes a backlash, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

However, since he has made up his mind, he will not turn back, he dared to risk his life to kill the wealthy family in Qingzhou, and now he also dares to fight with the current wealthy family.

"The content of the decree, you Aiqing take it back and read it slowly, what do you think about the bad incident caused by Feitong?"

Pang Yukun said: "Your Majesty, Fei Tong broke the law, should be guilty of the same crime as the common people, punished for attempted murder, relying on the laws of the empire, Fei Tong should be exiled for 3,000 miles and serve hard labor, as for Fei Yu, Fei Pei bribed officials, and formed a gang should be thoroughly investigated, and the result will be punished according to the crime." ”

Xiao Ming looked at Fiji, "Elder Feige, what do you think?" ”

Fiji was already soaked in cold sweat, he wiped the cold sweat and said: "The old minister thinks that what Pang Shoufu said is extremely true, and he hopes that the emperor will punish him heavily, and the old minister will not tolerate it." ”

Xiao Ming smiled with satisfaction, his purpose for this incident had been achieved.
