The first thing Yan Zheng thinks of after reading Han Yi's memorial is the current Daqin officialdom, which is mixed with good and bad.

In today's Daqin officialdom, those who are capable are really capable, but there are really many people who are fishing in troubled waters.

Before he was able to secure his position, he had to endure it. Now that Jiang Buwei has been exterminated and South Korea has been annexed, his reputation has risen unprecedentedly, and the reform of the official system has also made his power more and more stable. This is the time to do something has changed.

As for the three years without changing the way of the father, in the final analysis it is a tug-of-war between the new king and the old ministers.

The new king couldn't restrain those old ministers, so he could only continue the various policies before and slowly accumulate strength by himself.

But once the new king has the ability to suppress these old ministers, then he can act according to his own ideas.

Yan Zheng has now entered such a state.

However, he was not very tough. He just said: "Nowadays, people who want to enter the officialdom have to pass the exam, but it was not like this before. It is somewhat unfair. If we also start the official assessment system, this aspect is under the control of the Political Affairs Hall." .”

What he said was high-sounding, but everyone else scolded their mothers in their hearts.

fair?Who cares whether you are fair or not, Han Yi is still in the third rank at a young age, is this fair?

Dashu calmed down and said, "I don't know how the king wants to conduct the assessment?"

Yan Zheng said: "Everyone under the Nine Ministers will be assessed. Once a year, a standard will be set every year. Those who fail to meet this standard will be demoted. If they do well, they can be promoted as appropriate."

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Yan Zheng didn't frantically ask everyone to participate in the assessment, but everyone under Jiuqing must accept the assessment, which means that only Sangong and Jiuqing do not need to accept the assessment.

And these officials were directly appointed by Yan Zheng, and Yan Zheng must have a test paper in his heart, who can answer well and who can't, it's clear at a glance.

With Yan Zheng's actions, the water in the entire Great Qin Dynasty Hall will be muddied.

Da Shuchang said softly: "This matter...is too sudden, I'm afraid we need to discuss it."

Yan Zheng nodded and said: "It should be so, you should go back and discuss it first."

After Yan Zheng finished speaking, the meeting ended immediately, and he walked briskly away.

He was brisk, and the other ministers were a little at a loss up to now.

The prime minister and Da Shuchang looked at each other, and they both gave a wry smile.

Originally, the two of them thought that they would basically be stable in the next few decades after becoming the prime minister and the chief minister.

Even if Yan Zheng came up with a system of three lords and nine ministers, they only thought it was to give Han Yi a position. Although it could be regarded as decentralization from them, but now that Qin's territory is getting bigger and bigger, this bit of power If it is divided, it will be divided.

However, no one expected that Yan Zheng would come up with another assessment system. They wouldn't dare to underestimate the heroes of the world. Who knows if there are people as evil as Han Yi?

In the past, if these people had no connections and could not enter the Great Qin court, no matter how talented they were, their lives would be wasted for a lifetime.

But now they have a chance.

In the south, Han Yi is conducting the imperial examinations, and in the north, Yan Zheng is conducting the official assessment system.

With such a combination of punches, capable people will quickly stand out. Can they... really still hold their seats?

However, the assessment system still has a little temptation for the prime minister and the chief minister.

Both of them are not from the Chinese family, and their family size was not large before, and it has gradually improved since they ascended to the position of San Gong.

However, one of the remarkable characteristics of any rapidly developing family is that there are many talented people, and even mediocre people will not be raised and discarded.

Originally, no matter whether it is the prime minister or the grand master, he thought that if he sat in this position for 20 years, the family might have a certain scale. Only when the next generation grows up will there be a future. If the next generation is not strong enough, then it can only be like this , Waiting for another outstanding talent.

However, where is it so easy to get outstanding talents?

What's more, some people don't show their talents before entering the officialdom, and no one can see that they have talents, and they will only use their strengths when they are in a suitable position.

The two of them are too busy to make progress every day, so how can they have the opportunity to assess the specialties of the children and grandchildren in the family?

Now the assessment system is better. Originally, even if the two of them were prime ministers and elders, their descendants might not be able to compete with those deep-rooted Chinese in terms of job competition.

Those Chinese people have been intertwined for a long time, and their in-laws are all over the government and the public. They are absolutely huge.

Now that there is an assessment system, it is a good thing for small and medium families like them.

The prime minister and the chief minister were sitting in the political affairs hall, and at a glance they could tell whether there were more people who were willing or not.

To sum up, there are still many people who are willing.

Although Yan Zijian had not been in power for a long time, he left Yan Zheng a relatively quiet court in addition to the great disaster of Jiang Buwei.

Today, among the three princes and nine ministers, less than half of them are from the Dahua clan.

And these people from small families want to seek benefits for their own families, this is a good thing for them!

As the negotiation progressed, the prime minister couldn't help feeling that Yan Zheng's move went smoothly.

Using these small families eager to develop to weaken the strength of the Chinese people, even though everyone knew in their hearts that this was one of Yan Zheng's methods of continuously weakening the Chinese people and centralizing power to the king, they still took the bait.

This bait is so tempting!

The definition of the Chinese is also relative. Facing a small family, the strength of the Chinese is unquestionable. No small and medium-sized family dares to fight against them.

But once the small and medium-sized families are united, it is a force that cannot be ignored, and their power is even stronger than these Chinese who are already being weakened.

In the end, even the Chinese can only compromise and seek common ground while reserving differences.

But Yan Zheng only needs to see the result.

Yan Zheng asked them to discuss, and after returning, he wrote an imperial edict, telling Han Yi to do it directly!

Anyway, it's just Han Di, those people in Han Di don't care, even if something happens, Yan Zheng will help him!

After he finished writing this imperial edict, he hesitated for a moment before resisting the urge to write a letter to Han Yi.

Han Yi has already expressed his attitude, and if he writes again, it will only increase the other party's troubles.

In fact, Yan Zheng also knew in his heart that Han Yi would not look back after making a decision. He said he would take him away back then, but no matter how many difficulties and obstacles he went through later, he never flinched.

It should be the same now, so all he needs to do is let go.

It's a pity... I really can't let it go.

Just when Yan Zheng was feeling emotional, the prime minister sent a proposed assessment system framework.

Yan Zheng glanced at it, nodded and said, "Just follow this."

The prime minister hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, do local officials have to participate in the assessment?"

Yan Zheng nodded, and the prime minister asked again: "Then... Hou Yue...do you want to participate in the assessment?"

Yan Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled. These people are probably eyeing the power of the imperial examination. No matter who gets this power, it will not be a problem to dominate the entire court in the future. After all, it doesn't matter who can be an official or not. He has the final say.

For these people, Han Yi wanted to pick peaches before he even started doing it?

When the prime minister saw Yan Zhengxiao, he suddenly trembled, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and he could actually ask this question.

Yan Zheng thought about it for a while, and felt that before the official evaluation system was fully implemented, it was better not to be serious with these people. Anyway, when they were really busy, they would have no time to think about it.

So he just said: "Jingyuehou is still Zhongshu Ling, and the official position stipulated by the assessment system is high or low."

In other words, a person like Han Yi who is one of the three men does not need to be assessed, he only needs to accept Yan Zheng's assessment.

Of course, Han Yi is a special case. Generally, officials who have entered the center cannot run to govern the local area unless they go to the local area temporarily to handle errands.

The prime minister didn't say anything more after hearing this, and before he stepped back, Yan Zheng said: "You don't have to worry about the imperial examinations, Zhong Shuling only gave a general outline in the memorial, and you can deal with other details in detail." I'm afraid he is not as thoughtful as he thinks, and don't think he has great power, if Zhong Shuling has a different heart, Da Qin will not be the Da Qin it is today."

Prime Minister: ...

He once again experienced Yan Zheng's double standards. Anyway, Yan Zheng's attitude has been revealed - no one but him wants Han Yi to step down, and no one else wants to interfere with what Han Yi wants to do, and don't even think about provoking it. The relationship between monarch and minister is useless!

The prime minister thought for a while and thought, anyway, he is one of the three men, why should he fight Han Yi to the death?

Han Yiyuan is in Handi. Although he has a high sense of presence in the court and has made an imperial examination, it may not really threaten him. He should ignore Han Yi.

As for Yan Zheng's claim that Han Yi was thoughtful in doing things, the prime minister had to admit that every time Han Yi said he wanted to do something, there would basically be no big loopholes after he finished it, at least they didn't see it.

This time, I am afraid that Han Yi had already prepared all the preparations before he wrote the memorial.

However, in fact, Han Yi was quite surprised when he received the edict.

Everyone thought that he had a plan, and even started to promote the memorial that he just wrote.

In fact, when he was writing the memorial, what he wrote was what he thought at the time, and after the memorial was sent up, he didn't continue to think about it.

Because he was not sure that Yan Zheng would agree, and he touched the interests of too many people.

The officialdom has been dominated by those Chinese people since ancient times, and now he wants to let others in to compete with them for territory. Of course, these people are not happy.

He also thought about it, anyway, he just mentioned an introduction first, and when Yan Zheng weakened the power of the Chinese people to a certain extent, it would be logical to do it.

However, I did not expect that the court actually agreed.

Even Han Yan was very surprised by this: "King Qin really has courage!"

Han Yi frowned, slightly worried that Yan Zheng would make concessions to the Chinese in order to promote the imperial examination.

If that's the case, it won't do him any good to centralize power.

Just when Han Yi was worried, he suddenly heard a loud noise outside, Han Yi raised his head and his expression changed instantly: "Which bastard is good at handling gunpowder!"
