Robbers in the martial arts world

Chapter 433
After the establishment of the Chinese Empire and the announcement to the world, all the small countries and alien races in the entire land of China were shocked.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, it was supposed to be a day of universal celebration, but Xiao Yun was extremely busy. After conferring Huo Qingtong as empress and Shi Qingxuan, Wanwan, Lu Qiling, and Princess Xiangxiang as noble concubines, a court meeting was held immediately.

The main reason is that the Chinese Empire was newly established, and there were too many things to do. Even though Xiao Yun's cultivation had reached the Yang God realm, he was still too busy.

It is really not easy for such a huge empire to operate!The transfer of local officials, the selection of talents, and the implementation of the New Deal... all need to be handled by the court.

Moreover, the Yaozu and some surrounding alien races are extremely unwilling to establish the Chinese Empire. Taking advantage of the favorable terrain, they have repeatedly harassed the people and began to test the Chinese Empire.

What troubled Xiao Yun the most was the vacancy of talents. Now that the new dynasty has been established, the people have been displaced by the wars in the past ten years. Many local officials died in battle or fled, resulting in many vacancies for local officials. .

Many hidden dangers left by the Han Empire are still there. Many places are extremely chaotic, officials are corrupt and embezzled, and people's lives are ignored.

As for the army, Xiao Yun can take a break at the moment, as improving people's livelihood is the most important thing now.

"If there is a vacancy for officials, then conduct a scientific examination to select talents. I don't believe that I can't find talented people in the Chinese Empire."

In the imperial palace, Xiao Yun, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon seat, looking at all the civil and military officials of the court, he couldn't help frowning and said.

"Your Majesty, is it too urgent? Now that the Chinese Empire has just been established, the schools in various places are still under construction. The previous schools were established by aristocratic families. It is extremely disadvantageous for the poor to conduct scientific research at this time. !" Xu Shu looked at Xiao Yun worriedly.

After the unification of the whole country, Xiao Yun ordered all the counties to start building schools, but it has only been a year now, even if schools are built in some places, it is impossible to cultivate a few outstanding students.

On the contrary, those aristocratic schools that have always existed have accumulated a lot of talents. If they only select talents from various schools, it must be very unfair to the children of poor families.

"This is simple. Our selection of talents this time is not only selected from various schools, but also to look at the world. No matter what your identity, background, or age, as long as you are a citizen of the Chinese Empire, you can participate in this scientific examination. We want meritocracy!"

Xiao Yun thought about it for a while, then said immediately.

"Your Majesty, such words may cause some people's dissatisfaction, and I'm afraid they will make trouble secretly!" A humble official stood up and cupped his hands to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun naturally knew that he was talking about those famous families. At the beginning, the promotion quotas for officials in the Han Empire were almost all in the hands of these famous families. It was difficult for the children of poor families and ordinary people to have a bright future.

Now, if Xiao Yun practiced meritocracy and could participate in this scientific examination regardless of his status, it would definitely shake the interests of these aristocratic families and elites, and it would be even more serious than the land reform.

"Hmph, let's do it like this. I'll see who dares to be dissatisfied and who dares to make trouble secretly!"

Xiao Yun's attitude was extremely tough. When he ruled the whole country, these aristocratic families stood up to oppose him, wanting him to cancel the land reform, but he killed Sima Hui, Yu Fan and Lu Yu forcefully, which shocked the aristocratic families in the world.

Nowadays in the selection of talents, if these noble families don't cooperate obediently, dare to jump out to oppose, or secretly make troubles, Xiao Yun doesn't mind a big cleansing of these noble families.

"For some restless aristocratic families and sects, our Chinese empire really needs a big cleansing to establish our national prestige!"

Jia Xu said calmly, even Guo Jia, Chen Gong and others beside him nodded in agreement.

After all, the new dynasty has just been established, and it is time to make every effort to govern. If these aristocratic families dare to come out to make trouble, it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible.

……

"Haha, I am a commoner and finally have my day! This imperial examination will be my first step to succeed. From then on, I will go straight to the top."

"Don't ask about background, don't ask about poverty, only talent, haha, Your Majesty is wise, in terms of talent, how can my poor family lag behind no one!"

"The imperial examination is such a grand event, how can I, Ma Liang, miss it!"

"No one asked me in the ten-year cold window, haha, I finally waited for this day!"

"I'm waiting for the day when the poor family will come out!"

……

When the announcement that the Chinese Empire was going to hold a scientific examination was spread all over the world, countless children from poor families looked up to the sky and screamed, full of passion.

They have waited for this day for too long, and no one has asked them for ten years, how much more than ten years have they had!

If the Han Empire continues, they will probably be left alone for the rest of their lives. This is the drawback of the talent selection system in today's era, and the places are all controlled by those aristocratic families.

Most of these children from poor families are just wasting their lives, being poor scholars, full of ambitions, no matter how talented they are, it is difficult to have the opportunity to display them.

But now all of this has become a thing of the past. The merit-based imperial examination system implemented by Xiao Yun has given opportunities to all common people and children from poor families in the world.

Xiao Yun moved very quickly. After the announcement of the scientific examination was announced, he immediately began to set up examination centers in various states and counties across the country, so that all the children from poor families could participate as much as possible.

Faced with the land reform and imperial examination system of the new dynasty, the people of the emperor celebrated it, and they were all grateful to Xiao Yun. In the hearts of poor children and ordinary people, Xiao Yun is simply a reborn parent.

The children of the humble family and the common people are happy, but some elites of the noble family can't sit still, and these people still can't recognize the status quo.

Examinations based on talents, regardless of background, regardless of poverty or lowliness, such an imperial examination has a considerable impact on noble families.

In the previous dynasties, the selection of officials was based on filial piety and honesty, and they were recommended by local officials. In fact, the number of places was controlled by these famous families.

The current imperial examination system allows inferior scholars from all over the world to compete with them, which not only touches their interests, but also lowers their status as famous families. In their view, this is an insult to them.

That's why there were many famous families who took the risk to prevent this scientific research, and wanted to force Xiao Yun to back down. They always believed that they, the noble families, were the masters of the world.

"Your Majesty, they have begun to move!"

In the imperial garden of the imperial palace, Zhang Yan respectfully reported to Xiao Yunhui.

He is now the commander of Jinyiwei, commanding the entire Jinyiwei, and he will naturally hear about any disturbance in the world.

For this scientific examination, Xiao Yun knew that there would definitely be some famous families making trouble secretly, so he had arranged for Zhang Yan to keep an eye on the movements of the noble families in the world, and planned to catch all the evidence and catch them all.

"Oh, these people really can't sit still. Which famous families are involved?" Xiao Yun took a sip of tea, looked at Zhang Yan, and asked leisurely.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhang Yan clasped his hands and said: "News came from the secret group of Jinyiwei, led by the Yang family in Luoyang, united the Zhang family in Jizhou, the Chen family in Xuzhou, the Lu family and Wang family in Jingzhou, and the Zhou family in Yangzhou... a total of more than 70 people Participating in it, these people have secretly reached a consensus and are ready to work together to force the palace! And they also secretly colluded with other races!"

"He also colluded with other races. It's really unexpected that there are so many noble families who can't sit still!"

The corner of Xiao Yun's mouth could not help showing a sharp smile.

Although he had expected that these aristocratic families would jump out sooner or later, he did not expect that they would act so soon and even collude with other races.

Xiao Yun couldn't understand the virtues of these aristocratic families best. These people were only interested in profit, and never really thought about the imperial court. For their own benefit, they could even sacrifice their lives.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to arrest all these people now!" Zhang Yan also said through gritted teeth, wishing to get rid of these famous families who dared to make trouble.

"No, these famous families are united, and their power should not be underestimated. Let Huang Zhong, Zhao Zilong and others lead the army to do it, and you Jin Yiwei can help!" Xiao Yun drank the tea in his cup, and his eyes flashed A sharp killing intent.
