Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 150 Reform
Emperor Jing looked at the recommendation list handed over by Zhang Xuechun and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Zhang Aiqing, who recommended these people?"

Zhang Xuechun's heart skipped a beat, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "These are all recommended by famous people from all walks of life, and the candidates will be determined by the officials after further assessment."

Emperor Jing smiled and said: "Zhang Aiqing has a heart. I don't know how Aiqing is assessed?"

Zhang Xuechun didn't expect that Emperor Jing would ask him like this, he was momentarily at a loss for words, "Eh, this, this..."

"Maybe Aiqing think carefully before answering me." Emperor Jing looked at him with a half-smile.

Recently, Emperor Jing has changed a lot. After becoming strong, Zhang Xuechun became so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.

Seeing this, Emperor Jing laughed, "Since Zhang Aiqing didn't think about it, let's think about it again."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Xuechun felt as if Emperor Jing had seen through his guilty conscience, and broke out in a cold sweat.Just as he was about to retreat, he suddenly heard Emperor Jing speak again, and stopped immediately.

"Zhang Aiqing, do you know how to assess?"

Zhang Xuechun was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said: "Please give orders, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jing glanced at Lu You, Lu You understood, quickly took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Xuechun, Zhang Xuechun understood at a glance, it turned out that the emperor had already made preparations.

He quickly took the envelope, opened it and read it.

This is a whole new way of assessing students.This kind of assessment can be said to have never been done before.The employment in the Dajing Dynasty implemented a recommendation system.

Firstly, they are recommended by celebrities and Confucians from all over the country, and then they are put together for a trial period, and then recommended by the examiner according to each person's specialty.

However, this kind of assessment mentioned by Emperor Jing can be participated by everyone, regardless of whether they are poor or wealthy.

All those who are qualified can participate in the assessment, and after three assessments, they will be selected step by step, and the last one will be directly arranged by Emperor Jing to become an official in the court.

This is quite a feat!It's just that this also violated the interests of many people, and it was a bit difficult to do.

Zhang Xuechun was very shocked, and said without any concealment: "The emperor's move can be said to be a blessing to the people!"

Emperor Jing understood his thoughts very well. When he saw the assessment reform system, he was no less shocked than Zhang Xuechun.He also thought twice before deciding to adopt this method.

The Empress Dowager and Xue Jing have contacted many high-ranking officials and nobles over the years. If this move can be carried out, it will be a big blow to them.After thinking over and over again, he decided to open a hole first from Zhang Xuechun.

He knew that Zhang Xuechun also came from a poor family, and he knew the hardships step by step to where he is today.Only he can best understand the benefits to poor students.

"What does Zhang Aiqing think?"

"This is a great move!" Zhang Xuechun's eyes were red with excitement.If there was such a move back then, how could he have done such a wrong thing like Fan Xia back then!

Emperor Jing laughed again, "How about leaving this matter to you?"

Zhang Xuechun was stunned, and he was also at war between heaven and man in his heart. Prime Minister Zuo must resolutely oppose this matter. If he took this matter into his hands, wouldn't he be going against Prime Minister Zuo? Thinking of this, he felt a burst of emotion Fan fear.

For some reason, he thought of that child back then, and felt a twinge of pain in his heart.I was about to say no, but I couldn't say it.

Emperor Jing was not in a hurry, looking at Zhang Xuechun whose expression kept changing, he gently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Zhang Xuechun didn't know how long he stood there, and finally let out a foul breath, and said: "I am willing!" This sentence is equivalent to his betrayal of Xue Qing, and he has a bottom line in his mind about the consequences, but he doesn't regret it, he thinks about that The child's eyes made him firm in his thoughts.

Emperor Jing also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said: "Okay! Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand you! The people of the world will be grateful to you for this move! You can rest assured that I will give you full support, and will send Marquis Jingbian to assist you throughout the process. Keeping you safe."

Zhang Xuechun knelt down and kowtowed gratefully.

The next day Zhang Xuechun put forward a proposal for the big exam, and made some small changes based on his own experience to make the whole plan more perfect.

But once Zhang Xuechun put forward this opinion, it was like throwing a big stone into a pool of stagnant water.Opposition discourse overwhelmingly hit Zhang Xuechun.Although there were a few voices of agreement, they were quickly drowned out in the voices of crusade.

Xue Qing squinted at Zhang Xuechun, who was standing upright, and frowned.

Mr. Yan personally went to deal with it yesterday, how could it be like this today?He couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Xuechun's move is really treasonous, he is going to break the rules left by his ancestors!" The chief writer of the Imperial Academy said loudly.

Many people stepped forward to speak out.However, these people were all from rich and noble families, and Zhang Xuechun violated their interests, so they formed a big group and attacked Zhang Xuechun collectively.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Xuechun seemed to be a different person, without fear, and he had the potential to fight the Confucians with his tongue.

"Zhang Xuechun, what do you care about?"

"My heart is a lesson from heaven and earth. I, Zhang Xuechun, was born in a poor family. I know the hardships of poor students. There are so many talented students in the world, but they suffer from no one to recommend them. Now there is a place to show their talents, why not !"

"You want to break the rules of the ancestors!"

"How dare I break the rules of my ancestors. But today is different, and my ancestors don't know that a hundred years later, the poor people will also start to make progress, and they are also constantly learning. If the ancestors knew, they would definitely be willing to give him this opportunity. "

"You are arrogant!"

"Hmph! I just want to give poor students a chance. If there are really educated people among the rich and nobles, they can take the exam together. Could it be that you think that the people you have carefully cultivated are not as good as poor students, so you dare not take the exam? "

"Those people are dressed in white and have no experience. How can they be officials?"

"Master Chen, are you despising the Holy Ancestor? Back then, the Holy Ancestor also started as a white-clothed person. What do you mean by saying that a white-clothed person cannot be an official?"

The man was startled, and quickly said: "I didn't mean that! Zhang Xuechun, you have ulterior motives!"

"Huh, whoever has ulterior motives knows who knows. The reason for talking nonsense here at this time is nothing more than because what I say hurts your interests. How many people here really want to do good for the court and the people?"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were enraged, it was tantamount to provoking a sore point in their hearts, how could they admit it in front of the emperor!
"I'm all for the court and the common people, Zhang Xuechun, don't talk nonsense!"

"Am I talking nonsense that you know it well! Now that the imperial court is employing people, how can you prove that these people you recommend can take on this important task?"

"The ones we recommend are all carefully cultivated people from various families, how can they be compared with those in white clothes!" It was a teacher of the prince who said this.

Zhang Xuechun took one look at him and laughed out loud, "Master Hu, is that your son who cultivated elites from a young age? What a joke!"

Taishi Hu's face turned green all of a sudden, he wanted to refute Zhang Xuechun's words when he spoke, but he laughed at him unexpectedly.Who doesn't know that the son of his family is completely ignorant and extremely playful.

His son Hu Ze is not even willing to take him to play with those dudes.It can be seen how bad the character is.In the Golden Palace, being called an elite by Zhang Xuechun really made him feel ashamed and dare not speak anymore.

Li Yuanqing, a cabinet bachelor, said at this time: "What Zhang Shangshu said is reasonable, and what Grand Master Hu said is also reasonable. Everyone, please speak carefully, don't get excited."
