Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
Ah!
Shangguan Xiong instantly perked up upon hearing Qin Yu's proposal. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! I have a suitable candidate. Not only does this person come from a poor family, but his wife and children all died of starvation due to the famine. He is humble and eager to learn, and a true talent!"
Although he is no longer the prime minister, if there are two people in the cabinet who are from his faction, then the threat posed by Chen Zhong to him can be ignored!
Ok?
Emperor Liang frowned. Qin Yu's proposal was good, but selecting talents from the people would give officials a lot of room to maneuver, and the people selected would definitely be dependent on the people who recommended them.
"Your Majesty! We also have suitable talents to recommend!"
The officials said one after another.
"Your Majesty! I think it's too narrow-minded to ask officials to recommend talented people. After all, many truly talented people are not good at socializing and don't know officials!"
"Therefore, Daliang should abolish the recommendation system and switch to the imperial examination system, selecting talents through examinations. In this way, every student in Daliang will have the opportunity to serve as an official in the court, which will be more fair!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
what!
Qin Yu's words caused an uproar among all the civil and military officials in the court!
There is no other reason, because this proposal affects the interests of all of them!
You know, no matter whether it is a military officer or a civil official, as long as he reaches the fifth rank or above, he can be called a noble family!
The reason why the gentry could be passed down for hundreds or thousands of years was because of the recommendation system!
Regardless of whether there are young talents in their clan, as long as they can recommend officials to the court, there will be countless young talents willing to become their disciples!
This is the foundation of a family's prosperity!
If the recommendation system is abolished and replaced by the imperial examination system, young talents will no longer rely on them. If there is a gap in young talents in the clan, their family will decline!
"Your Majesty! The recommendation system has been passed down for thousands of years and must not be abolished!"
Shangguan Xiong said immediately.
"Your Majesty! We, your servants, also feel that abolishing the recommendation system is too hasty. Please reconsider!"
Civil and military officials spoke one after another.
Emperor Liang had a gloomy expression on his face, because he was very interested in the imperial examination system that Qin Yu mentioned!
He has always been thinking about how to balance the power in the court, and the imperial examination system is the simplest and most direct method!
As long as the officials who came to the court were not introduced by a certain person, and at least at the beginning, they had no factions, then he could prevent these people from forming factions.
However, since all the civil and military officials in the court opposed it, it was difficult for him to implement the imperial examination system.
"Father! The imperial examination system, like the cabinet system, is imperative! Lord Chen, think carefully about how much oppression the military officers have endured over the years!"
"Officials introduce each other to form their own factions. How terrible is the impact of this? Why do some people dare to embezzle money? Even the military pay? Often, it's because they are fearless. The officials below are all on their side, and no one will expose them!"
"Only by implementing the imperial examination system can true patriots have the opportunity to shine. This will benefit both the people and the soldiers!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
Even if Emperor Liang forcibly implemented the imperial examination system, people were needed to do the work. If all the civil and military officials in the court did not agree, then no one would really do the work!
Therefore, Qin Yu used the people and soldiers in the army to force Chen Zhong to stand on his side!
