Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

"Do you really think that the only issue the aristocratic families control is talent?"

"The biggest reliance of the aristocratic families is their control over the talent selection system!"

"Therefore, the best way is to abolish this system and rebuild a system where the court can control talents."

Zhou Zheng looked at everyone. He knew very well why Mu Yun and others were so worried.

It’s nothing more than the confinement of thinking.

What the world lacks the least is talent, especially those who want to become officials.

The biggest problem is the channels and pathways, which is also the selection system.

Whoever controls this system truly controls the world's talents.

In Zhou Zheng's opinion, even those Zhongzheng officials, as selection officers, are probably also representatives of the aristocratic families in secret.

Therefore, it is not that all the talents in this world are controlled by the aristocratic families, but that the Zhongzheng officials only allow the court to see the talents with aristocratic family backgrounds.

If the imperial examinations were liberalized and everyone could participate, then what would the court have to worry about? !

"The imperial examination is open to everyone in the world."

"Even, including the descendants of merchants, prisoners, farmers, etc., all are possible."

Boom!

When Zhou Zheng said this, everyone was frightened.

Even Gong Tan, Mu Yun and others widened their pupils with an expression of disbelief, and even their breathing became rapid.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Once that happens, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the world!"

Mu Yun finally stood up. He looked terrified and tried to persuade Zhou Zheng.

You know, if this happens, it will definitely cause chaos in the world.

"Massive chaos?!"

"Tell me how to cause chaos?!"

Zhou Zheng leaned forward, narrowed his eyes, and continued to ask.

"If that happens, the aristocratic families will not wait any longer and may even directly rebel."

Taking a deep breath, Mu Yun no longer cared about anything else.

At this moment, he finally understood why Zhou Zheng said that the thing the world lacks most is talent.

Because, where there is a group, there must be talented people.

That is the group of businessmen.

However, since ancient times, scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants have been the last and lowest class of existence, so their descendants cannot set foot in official careers.

But once they are allowed to enter the official career, this huge group will instantly squeeze out the official career places of the descendants of the aristocratic families.

How could the clans endure this?!

At that time, there was no room for maneuver for either side.

"Prime Minister, do you think there is still room for maneuver between the imperial court and the aristocratic families?!"

Zhou Zheng shook his head.

When he learned from Gong Tan that these aristocratic families had begun secretly heading to the Great Xia Kingdom to prepare for internal and external cooperation, Zhou Zheng knew that there was no room for maneuver with these aristocratic families.

It's a life-and-death fight anyway, so why should Zhou Zheng care about them?

"But!"

Mu Yun wanted to speak again, but this time Zhou Zheng interrupted him.

"It's time to abolish the Zhongzheng system."

"Only by implementing the imperial examination system can we demonstrate our determination to recruit people from all over the world."

Zhou Zheng's eyes were firm.

"I once said in person that I want to create a world where everyone is equal."

"If we can't even achieve equality in talent selection, then everything else will have no chance."

Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly.

The classes in this world have long been fixed.

If one wants to change this class system and truly open up communication between classes, the imperial examination system is clearly the best opportunity.

He made a special opportunity visible to everyone.

He can help everyone in the world find the right direction.

He is a talented person who can network the world, so why not? !

Of course, such an approach would certainly arouse opposition from the so-called aristocratic families, and might even lead to a war.

But so what?

Zhou Zheng didn't care at all.

If they really take action, Zhou Zheng doesn't mind getting rid of these clans completely.

Whether it was the court or the people around him, who praised the power of this family to the skies, Zhou Zheng didn't care at all.

Because he knew better than anyone that the aristocratic families were only a very small part of this world.

Moreover, although it seemed to damage the interests of the aristocratic families, it actually gave Zhou Zheng and the court other opportunities.

Because, the common people and the businessmen will all be grateful to Zhou Zheng!

What he wants is never the support of a few people in the world.

Instead, we need the support of the vast majority of people in the world!

What we want is not temporary peace.

What we want is long-term stability!

"Therefore, the imperial examination system must be implemented!"

"And, it's now!"
