Chapter 69: Unexpected Resistance to the New Decree

Regardless of Nuwa Niangniang's calculations, after Zhang Zixing returned to the court from Nuwa Temple, he immediately announced two new decrees.

1. Recruit all kinds of talents, regardless of their origins, and if they are talented, they will be recorded.

2. Build a large-scale star-picking tower in the palace for the meditation and recuperation of the Son of Heaven.

In these two new decrees, Zhang Zixing thought that the ministers would have objections to the construction of the Star Picking Tower, but he did not expect that this article was approved by everyone and thought that it should be taken for granted, and the first article "only for use" was fiercely opposed by everyone, including Zhao Qi, Mei Bo and other "loyal ministers" who he usually relied on for reuse. However, Wen Zhong was born in the Taoist sect and did not attach much importance to it, and Shang Rong got the eyes of the Son of Heaven and remained silent.

Zhang Zixing was very surprised in his heart, and the comprehensive opinion of those opponents was that those lowly poor people or even slaves must not be appointed, and only the clan and nobles were the pillars that the big merchants could really rely on. Since there is no such talent recruitment examination as the imperial examination system, officials either rely on the power of the clan or the recommendation of nobles and celebrities, and many talents in the lower strata of society are basically lost except for a few who are particularly lucky enough to become petty officials, and Zhang Zixing has seen many such talents in the market.

In the face of the fierce opposition of the ministers, Zhang Zixing couldn't help but be annoyed, these clan children, either stick to the ancestral system, or only consider the interests of their own family's small groups, how could they have a view of the overall situation, if it continues to develop like this, there will be fewer and fewer real talents, and the emperor can't rely on the emperor's talent to support the whole country!

He looked at the superbrain hidden in the dragon chair, his heart moved, and he was about to inquire, but the superbrain took the initiative to transmit a piece of information in time, which was unprecedented before, which made him couldn't help but be surprised at the degree of evolution of this automatic evolution model.

It may be that the relationship between intelligent evolution has just begun, and there are too many relevant materials actively transmitted by the superbrain, which are not refined, just like using a keyword to get n more search results on a search engine. Fortunately, Zhang Zixing's mental ability is outstanding, and it didn't take too long to find the information he needed.

This is an oath in history that King Wu of Zhou announced the world when he conquered the Emperor, called "Pastoral Oath", which listed the six major crimes of King Wu and called on the princes of the world to crusade together. The first is drunkenness, the second is the appointment of slaves and untouchables instead of brothers of the same clan, the third is the use of villains, the fourth is to listen to women, the fifth is to believe in the heavens, and the sixth is not to pay attention to sacrifices.

After reading these six "big" crimes, Zhang Zixing felt a strong contempt for King Wu of Zhou in his heart. That's why you're rebellious?

The six major crimes listed by King Wu of Zhou are nothing compared to those faint monarchs in history, and Zhang Zixing can only disdain it.

Alcoholism? Since the big merchants became soup, it has become a trend of good wine, and which of the princes from all walks of life does not like to drink?

- Compared to those guys, the Honsan people are still people who don't like to drink, even his father Ji Chang, the king of Zhou Wuwang, can drink more than the Bunsan!

The appointment of slave untouchables instead of brothers of the same clan is a wise decision to be used!

- The widow is about to implement it!

Reuse villains? Which dynasty did not have a courtier?

-- Even if it's Fei Zhong, isn't it used by the widow to be obedient? Don't envy others if you don't have that ability to control! When you think about Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Gao and Li Si all honestly did their duty, and they didn't dare to make mistakes, why did they all jump up when they arrived in Huhai? To put it bluntly, it was a matter of ability!

Can this be called a crime? You sleep with a woman every day, and you cover your ears and don't listen to a word?

In later generations, there is still a saying that "men and women are equal, and women can still hold up half the sky", as long as it is right, the widow will listen!

Of course, the Son of Heaven is confident that he has the destiny of heaven! Otherwise, how could Wei Ziqi not be the emperor? It's very simple, he doesn't have that fate!

- To add weakly, in fact, the poor Dao is also a revolutionary of the mandate of heaven, isn't this going against the sky?

Not paying attention to sacrifices shows that the concept of ghosts and gods is weak, and it is also a kind of ideological progress. It seems that the historical king was still a pioneer of materialism.

If people do not doubt ghosts and gods, and if they do not give up ghosts and gods, how can science develop and society progress?

These six "crimes" are so pale and powerless whether they are taken to the historical king or the current Zhang Zixing, as for those famous brutal deeds, they are all polished and processed by later rulers to meet the needs of rule, and evolved into a typical negative teaching material of tyrants. As the times went on, many people also spoke out to rehabilitate the king, including China's great leader* and famous writer Guo Moruo.

After this incident, Zhang Zixing felt that he had another responsibility in his heart - to use practical actions to correct the name of "King Su", a synonym for tyrants in history!

"Okay, shut up the widow!" Zhang Zixing looked at the indignant ministers with disgust, and gave an example from the superbrain data: "In the past, when the Holy Monarch of Wuding ascended the throne, he did not get a good Zuo, and he did not say anything for three years! The widow asks you, "What is the origin of this virtuous man?"

The ministers bowed their heads and were silent, Zhao Qi was bold and stepped forward to play: "Fu said that the virtuous minister is the virtuous talent in the dream of God and the Holy Monarch, which is extraordinary. ”

Wu Ding, the king of Shang, was a high-minded and ambitious emperor. After he ascended the throne, he could not find an ideal right-hand man among the nobles, and he did not express his political views for three years, and the major affairs were handled by the Minister of the Interior. Until he found out that the good material Fu said, but this Fu said that he was born as a slave, and Wu Ding knew that the noble and the low were clearly hierarchical, and it was a "thunder pool" that was difficult to surpass in the Shang Dynasty. If you want to select talents in an eclectic way, you will inevitably be resolutely opposed by the princes and magnates. Therefore, he used his subjects to believe in ghosts and gods to make up a story: God Tuo Dream Introduction, a saint who can assist the government, is in the realm of the kingdom. For this reason, Fu Shuo, who was doing hard labor, was successfully promoted to an official, and finally the prime minister of the official residence, it was with the assistance of Fu Shuo that there was the famous "Wuding Shengshi".

"Bold! You are not a widow, how do you know that God has not descended on a widow?" Zhao Qiyan hurriedly apologized when he heard this, Zhang Zixing took the opportunity to play the game of debating with Nuwa, and the ministers were his opponents, and the opposition suddenly became smaller.

Zhang Zixing had an idea, and took the opportunity to pretend that when he was incense today, he was foretold by Nuwa Niangniang, so that he had this decision to recruit talents, although some of the ministers were suspicious, they were forced to ask more questions because of their majesty, so they had to pass this court proposal. As for the construction of the Star Picking Tower, there was no objection, but Fei Zhong first came out to suggest that the Son of Heaven build a larger-scale palace to show the majesty of the emperor, Zhang Zixing laughed, in fact, what was the purpose of his construction of the Star Picking Tower for pleasure?

Zhang Zixing immediately announced the establishment of a recruitment hall to openly recruit talents from all walks of life, no matter what their background, as long as they have a skill in industry, agriculture, commerce, soldiers, medicine, technology, etc., they can come to take the exam. And reward those who recommend talents, if someone can recommend a talent to successfully pass the assessment, then the recommender will also be rewarded.

In order to prevent cheating and corruption, a series of measures have been drawn up to supervise and reward officials, and particularly outstanding talents must be reported to the Son of Heaven, who will personally examine and appoint them. When the ministers heard that they were recruiting talents in the fields of industry, agriculture, and business, and were not important ministers who governed the country and participated in politics like Fu Shuo, they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zixing has experienced the incident of Nuwa Temple, the injuries on his body have not yet healed, and he has spent a lot of thought in order to recruit talents just now, and he feels very tired, so he announced the dispersal of the dynasty at the moment. As soon as he returned to the harem, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to announce the marriage of Shang Qingjun and Feng Shangrong as the national abbot, and couldn't help patting his head in annoyance, but fortunately, he was not in a hurry at this moment, and the surname Suo put his mind at ease to recuperate.

It's pitiful to say, although the entire palace is his, but strictly speaking, Zhang Zixing doesn't even have a formal bedroom to rest alone, the harem is all his wife's territory, the middle palace has Queen Jiang, Xinqing Palace is Concubine Yang, and the West Palace is Concubine Huang, either choose one of them to sleep, or obediently go to the imperial study to open a shop. Fortunately, the number of concubines is only three, and the concubines of the first emperor are all placed in the prescribed palace according to the etiquette law, so many of the vacated palaces have been reasonably used by Zhang Zixing and become temporary resting or retreat places, such as the Qingliu Palace that entered this time. After the completion of the Star Picking Building, Zhang Zixing can be regarded as having his own territory.

"It won't be long before there's one more hostess here. Zhang Zixing looked proudly at the brocade couch boudoir in the palace, the location of Qingyun Palace is relatively remote, it is an elegant and quiet place, and there are many exotic flowers and plants and precious trees planted outside, which is just similar to Shang Qingjun's boudoir, I think she will also like this palace.

He took out the magic treasure bag and released the Violet Obstacle, and since the last time he was attacked by Qingjiao, his vigilance has also been much higher. When he was in Nuwa Temple before, in order to be on the safe side, he didn't bring a superbrain or any magic weapon, because he knew that although the true martial spirit recipe had the heat effect of concealing cultivation, it was impossible to hide it from a saint like Nuwa Niangniang, and his infancy cultivation would definitely be exposed, and the superbrain was a secret weapon, and those magic weapons were more or less one of the hole cards in his hand, so they must not be exposed.

After getting used to wearing the black jade gui with his surname, Zhang Zixing began to gradually heal his injuries. When he was cultivating, he could easily settle down as long as he focused his mind, but I don't know why, today Zhang Zixing couldn't even do this simplest concentration.

(I'm stepping up at the moment, and there's another chapter in the evening.) )
