Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

No one found it strange that such a person with such an honor entered the cabinet, and no one dared to object. After all, Zhou Qun's achievements were there.

What really puzzled the ministers was what Ning Fan mentioned in the second section of the imperial edict, which was to prepare a new imperial examination system to select talents. The original recommendation system would be completely abolished, and all scholars in the world would be eliminated. Treat everyone equally.

This undoubtedly dropped a depth bomb in the court. After all, from ancient times to the present, no matter which country or dynasty, the upper-class nobles have always stayed together for warmth. They are all a fixed class and have always been exclusive. They blindly do not allow the lower classes to Class becomes upper class.

However, Ning Fan's imperial edict at this time directly stunned all the officials. Those who heard the content of Ning Fan's imperial edict had already had thousands of horses galloping in their hearts. After all, once Ning Fan's policy was implemented, all the officials would be stunned. Ordinary people have the opportunity to enter the attempt.

Today's Dakang officialdom pays attention to factions, clans, status, and titles, but it is cruel to ordinary people.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to squeeze into the class of scholar-bureaucrats, which is tantamount to wishful thinking.

But now Ning Fan's imperial edict has completely swept the system of promoting filial piety and integrity into the garbage heap of history, and the imperial examination oath has officially entered the stage of history.

Moreover, Ning Fan announced the imperial edict at the beginning of the court meeting, making it clear that this matter was not to consult the opinions of the officials, but to act arbitrarily on what had been decided. Although the officials had many opinions, they did not dare to speak at this time. After all, Ning Fan's previous strong methods left a deep impression on the hearts of the civil and military officials.

If it wasn't an urgent matter, I believe it would be irrational to disturb Ning Fan at this time.

The silence of the officials did not mean that they supported Ning Fan's creation of the imperial examination system, because many people immediately realized the impact of this policy on the future of Dakang.

If before this, being an official was monopolized by aristocratic families, then it is very likely that after the implementation of the imperial examination system, ordinary official positions will fly into the homes of ordinary people.

It was suddenly very uncomfortable for these self-righteous and noble officials to be on an equal footing with ordinary people. So after the imperial edict was read out, not one of the officials reacted. Standing there in silence.

There was no explicit resistance, but the attitude was that of not agreeing, not cooperating, and not taking action.

Ning Fan didn't get angry, let alone angry because of this, because he had expected this result. Nowadays, most of the civil and military officials in the Dakang court come from major aristocratic families.

These people have lived in a wealthy environment since they were young, with a silver spoon in their mouths. They have never experienced wind, frost, rain or snow since they were born, let alone the sufferings of the people. In their eyes, ordinary people are untouchables and they are completely different from the same world.

In their eyes, ordinary people are uneducated, ignorant, and do not know the principles of heaven and earth. They are not qualified to be officials, let alone govern the world.

So when Ning Fan read out the imperial edict to allow the children of ordinary people to have access to the upper echelons, the first reaction of these civil and military officials was anger, and the second reaction was silence.

"What do you mean if you don't speak? If you don't speak, I will assume that you agree."

Ning Fan sneered.

It was undeniable that these civil and military officials were hereditary from generation to generation, and they possessed certain skills. However, in Ning Fan's mind, the moral foundation of these civil and military officials was not solid.

They have no compassion, only privilege. I think if these people are allowed to continue to govern Dakang, then Dakang will definitely be a lifeless society with no future in the future.

The resources of the entire country will become more and more concentrated, and the wealth will become more and more concentrated. In the end, it can only be concentrated in the hands of a minimum number of people, while the vast majority of people will gradually die in the midst of hard work day by day, and eventually The entire ruling class is in a state of collapse.

No dynasty can escape the law of historical cycles, and what Ning Fan is doing now is to go against the will of heaven, completely pulling back the mirror image of the collapse of the common people in the law of historical cycles.

Although there was no dynasty change in Dakang's government when it came to Ning Fan, it was no different from dynasty change. What Ning Fan had to do now was to change the dynasty.

After Ning Fan finished what he said, there was still silence in the court hall. All the officials stood there in silence. They used silence to express confrontation and silence to express their dissatisfaction with the king.

Ning Fan looked at the cabinet. There were currently fifteen bachelors in the cabinet, but there were ten bachelors attending the court meeting. At this time, when Ning Fan looked over, led by Cheng Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet, All the bachelors came out to express their opinions.

"Your Majesty has set an example for all generations and set an unprecedented precedent. I admire you all."

Everyone in the cabinet supported Ning Fan in unison.

With the support of the cabinet, Alum's imperial edict can be regarded as having legitimacy. As for the silent civil and military officials, Ning Fan announced his resignation with a cold smile and a wave of his sleeves.

If possible, Ning Fan would like to replace all these civil and military officials in one day and kick away these bureaucrats with rotten ideas in their heads, but when Ning Fan is rational, he also knows that this is impossible.

He also relies on these people to mechanically execute the operations of the entire court every day.

Until a better replacement is found, these officials are still very useful to the operation of the entire Dakang.

"These people are just showing off to me. See if they don't agree. Why should they disagree? Are they allowed to be officials for generations to come? Let their children enjoy the privilege of drinking the blood of the common people and eating the flesh of the common people. ?"

Ning Fan returned to Wenhua Hall and became furious.

He grabbed the water glass on the table and smashed it on the ground. The crashing sound made everyone lower their heads and dare not express their anger.

Although the emperor is young, his temper has always been as gentle as jade. These palace maids and eunuchs have never seen such a furious scene today, and even Ergou has never seen Ning Fan with such an angry side.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Why should you be acquainted with these people? They only look at things from their own perspective and in their own interests."

When everyone was afraid to speak, only Ergou dared to stand up and persuade Ning Fan.

Since the arrival of Ergou, Li Chunan has hardly appeared in the inner court. He specially found a remote place in the palace to live.
