Nine hundred and eighty-ninth chapters have a long way to go

The court has reached a deadlock, and officials are discussing fiercely with each other, involving two major interest groups, their future status, future future of descendants, and the rise and fall of their families.

Luo Zhaoyun was out of the matter and watched coldly. He wanted to achieve this goal, provoking a class of nobles and ministers who had existed for a hundred years due to military merits and power, and fought with the scholar-official class who was well-read in Confucianism and history books. There were few poor scholars at the moment and had no right to speak, so Luo Zhaoyun intended to include poor scholars into the literati class, allowing them to argue, and in the end they had to give in to each other and compromise.

"There are no poor families at the top, and there are no nobles at the bottom. The nobles have controlled the upper class in society for a hundred years, so it is not advisable to act rashly."

"Yes, it's better to be quiet than to move. Governing the country is like cooking small fresh food. You should slowly pursue it. Bold tricks can easily damage the foundation, and it is not a blessing for the country!"

Dozens of nobles have also come forward to express their opinions one after another, and it is impossible for them to ignore their interest groups and their future lives.

Fortunately, Luo Zhaoyun had long been afraid of the family. The ministers appointed by him were already the children of the declining nobles, and most of them were talented people without the background of the family. They held important positions. This could restrain the aristocrats' mouthpiece. Even if they were against it, without the first-rank and second-rank officials, it would seem a bit humble and light.

At the same time, the scholar-official class also refuted: "The matter of the imperial examination is related to the country. All scholars and scholars in the world are the children of saints. How can they be punished without teaching and allowed to be buried in the countryside? Moreover, the children of nobles are not all talented and virtuous. Many playboys are embarrassed and useless, and they need talents from all over the world to serve the court."

"As the saying goes, it is difficult to become a great man without jade. The country cannot be supported by the children of nobles alone. We should win all the talents and use them for the dynasty..."

Just when they were in a stalemate, they looked at His Majesty and foreign players, hoping that he would stand on his own side and give him help and conclusions.

In fact, Luo Zhaoyun had already prepared something, as if he had seen the fire, and had expected such a scene in advance. After all, his soul came from later generations, and he could see very clearly the direction of the entire history. Therefore, the thinking about pros and cons and the broad vision are not comparable to people of this era. He also understands the way of balance and the way to use force to fight.

"Shangshu Wen, what other decisions can be made in addition to the imperial examination system?" Luo Zhaoyun asked the Minister of Rites.

Wen Yanbo bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, once the new imperial examination system is half a step, you will try to be fair, open and equal in terms of imperial examinations. However, in terms of official positions, in addition to the new Jinshi, there are also two types of officials who are responsible for selecting officials and specially selected officials. The so-called "supporting officials" means that once the children of officials do not have the ability to perform high school entrance examinations, they can also allocate quotas to protect their parents through their merits and official positions. Although not all children have the opportunity, at least one quota can be guaranteed. Through the protection of the nobles, they can also enter the scope of selecting officials. However, the level of selecting officials will be lowered according to the official rank and title of their parents."

When the cultural relics officials in the court heard this, they were silent. The way of protecting the family was like taking over. They could choose a child and get the opportunity to enter the workplace without having to take the imperial examination. They could also become officials to ensure that the family would not decline quickly. However, each family had several childs. In this way, they would choose which one they would need to be their father.

In this way, even the nobles and ministers looked a little better. Although there were fewer places to protect the public, at least they were not beaten to death, and there was still a chance. As long as one offspring was introduced to be an official, the rest of the offspring were sent to the college to study. Those who could pass the exam would rely on themselves. Those who failed the exam and did not have the chance to safeguard the public could only blame him for his lack of ability and luck.

The hostile atmosphere in the court suddenly became less intense because everyone knew that it was difficult to completely block the other party and completely open the gap, and it was not realistic. They could only give in and protect their core interests first.

The nobles had a way to shelter their children and could recommend their descendants and become officials in the court, so they reluctantly agreed to the new imperial examination system. The Hanlin academicians and doctors kept the provincial examination, the imperial examination, and the palace examinations to select Jinshi and enroll 100 places, so the opportunities for poor scholars increased a lot, so they agreed to retain the way to shelter.

After all, the core interests are preserved, and the compromised part can be given away by noble families. The descendants can also allow their descendants to study at the Imperial Academy, and then the imperial examinations are in the imperial examinations, and the scholars and officials have the opportunity to win the Jinshi. When they become officials, they also have the opportunity to protect their children. It can be said that they have supplemented each other's interests, gains and losses, and finally compromised with each other.

This is the case with politics. It is a process of compromise and transactions. Giving up some of the benefits and getting the benefits you need is in line with the doctrine of the mean and the rules of the official path.

Luo Zhaoyun balanced the relationship between the two classes and completed the new layout of the court, and was very satisfied.

After all, the imperial court is newly established, there are few officials, and the departments of the executive agencies have just been established. Many officials have multiple positions and their work is still a bit disordered. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the admission of talents through imperial examinations, shelter and other channels, so that all institutions of the imperial court can operate stably. Moreover, winning over young people from both classes is helpful for stabilizing groups of different classes.

"Let's stop here today. When the departments and institutions go back, they will set up matters related to their departments and carry out them in an orderly manner. Important responsibilities must not be delayed, nor must they deceive superiors and subordinates, and communicate with them in a timely manner."

"Affect your majesty's holy metaphor." The ministers bowed and bowed respectfully.

Luo Zhaoyun stood up and walked towards the side hall gate. This was the route to the harem. As he walked, he waved his hand and indicated that he could disperse.

"Greatly send your Majesty—"

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and stopped talking. When he turned around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This was just his first step to attack the family. It was not as rough as Emperor Yang of Sui. Instead, through a soft knife like the imperial examination, he first launched the poor talents in the Internet, and resisted the proportion of nobles and ministers, and weakened his influence bit by bit.

However, he also understood in his heart that this was just the beginning of the class dispute between the court's interest groups, and there were still many disputes in the court in the future, such as the relationship between civil servants and military generals, the relationship between aristocratic families and poor families, the relationship between Guanlong and the Eastern Central Plains, the relationship between the imbalance between the north and the south, the relationship between the aristocratic gentry and the common people's land, etc....
