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

"Your Majesty will implement the imperial examination system in half a year!"

"At that time, all the people of our Great Zhou under heaven will be able to participate."

“No matter your age, identity or past!”

"As long as you are loyal to His Majesty, loyal to the court, and willing to contribute to the Great Zhou, anyone can participate!"

Zhong Zhishen completely understood Zhou Zheng's intentions.

Wherever he went, he promoted the imperial examination system crazily.

Not only did he post notices and proclamations everywhere, he even gave speeches everywhere, fearing that some people would miss the news.

Sure enough, when the news got out, the whole country was shocked.

Farmers, ordinary merchants, landlords and aristocratic families were all shocked.

Who could have thought that the Zhongzheng system of selecting officials, which had been implemented for hundreds or even thousands of years since the previous dynasty, would be adjusted all at once without any warning.

No one knew what the imperial examination system was, but as Zhong Zhishen promoted it, everyone was shocked and then gasped.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhou Zheng was trying to create an entirely new system for selecting talents and officials.

No one knows what the initial content and methods of the imperial examination system were, but when you hear that everyone can participate, just these few words are enough to imagine its impact.

Especially the farmers who had been farmers for generations, they all raised their backs and looked in the direction of the imperial court with their cloudy eyes, and suddenly a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.

Afterwards, these farmers who could not read a single word and had been oppressed for countless years turned their attention to their children again. At that moment, they seemed to see the direction.

At this moment, they seemed to have found a real reason to keep themselves alive.

At this moment, they suddenly felt a force spreading within their bodies, and they suddenly had a glimmer of hope and direction to strive for.

Apart from this, the biggest carnival is that of businessmen!

They were one of the wealthiest groups in the Great Zhou.

However, they were also one of the lowest levels in the Great Zhou.

Apart from being rich, they seem to have no status in the Great Zhou.

They can only do business for generations and can only rely on the protection of officials.

Even if they became a famous aristocratic family, even if they were on par with the former aristocratic families such as the Su family and the Yin family, they were ultimately just playthings of the imperial power.

How long they can exist and how long they can prosper is not up to them.

Therefore, although business families seem prosperous, they are actually very timid and dare not overstep the line in the slightest.

The most important thing is that anyone who comes from a merchant family cannot enter the official career.

This almost made them give up the idea.

However, this time the imperial examination system made many businessmen tremble when they heard about it.

They even suspected at first that the disappearance was fake.

Some even went further and went to Beijing in person to find out the truth.

Until the news was confirmed, they cried bitterly and held a big feast.

Some exaggerated people even knelt down and kowtowed continuously in the direction of the imperial court.

In addition to these people, there are also those criminals.

After they were labeled as sinners, it was extremely difficult for them to survive in this world, no matter whether they were capable or talented.

But this time, they found the opportunity and direction to rise again.

There are similar situations like this in every article.

What these people, these groups, are most grateful for is Zhou Zheng’s imperial examination system!

If Zhou Zheng's "Qingmiao Law" and "Dianding Rumu" only gave farmers an opportunity to survive, then this time the imperial examination system gave people all over the world a direction to pursue.

The former saved the bodies and flesh of a small group of people.

The latter has inspired more people in the world spiritually, giving them reasons and hope to continue living.

This is an unprecedented major event in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

For most people, its importance even far exceeds the significance of the Great Zhou's defeat of the Great Xia!

Countless people kept talking about Zhou Zheng and worshipped him at home.

They were all eagerly waiting for the imperial examination system which would be launched in half a year.

By then, everything will be clear whether the news is true and whether the court has really made a decision.
