back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 448
In the Dengwen Drum Academy, the students of Pingshan College were furious, clamoring to see Lu Chengqi.Even when Gao Hao came to announce the decree, they were only quiet for a while, and then they quarreled over who to recommend to face the saint.

Gao Hao was angry, although in front of Lu Chengqi, he was like a dog following behind.But the dog behind the emperor is not something anyone can ignore, and said angrily: "If you can't be elected again, don't go. How can your majesty have so much free time to wait for you to make a decision?"

The students of Pingshan College heard this, and many of them died down.Although this trip may be famous, the risks are not small.Even though the little emperor is not very old, he is still a member of the Tian family. How can their vision be comparable to them?In case of being convicted by the imperial court, it will really be "famous", and I am afraid that it will be a grievance that will never be washed away in a lifetime, right?

"It's better for Chen Pingzhang to go, you are the one who proposes, and you are the most suitable." said one of the candidates.

Chen Shangfa hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How could it be me? It was obviously Mr. Liu, yes, Mr. Liu proposed it. Mr. Liu, don't shirk it, this is a golden opportunity. Previously, Wang Jiefu of Linchuan beat Dengwen Drum, and he was able to get Qualifications for the scientific examination. Today, Mr. Liu met the saint, saying that His Majesty is not happy, so I will give you the same background as a Jinshi, just like Zhang Zihou of the Imperial University!"

Liu Qi, who was among the crowd, was quite moved when he heard this.He wasted his mind, not just to be an official!As Chen Shangfa said, being given a Jinshi background and winning a half-job, wouldn't Han Feng'er impress Han Feng'er?
Thinking of this, Liu Qi took a step forward and said, "The Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Today, I am grateful to you all for looking after me, and I, Liu Qi, have a duty to do so."

Seeing Liu Qi's complacency in the eyes of all the students in Pingshan Academy, he laughed in his heart and said, "This man is not young, why is his mind so simple? Who doesn't know the little emperor's mind? How can he act rashly? It's hard to tell what will happen!"

Gao Hao got tired of waiting, so he pulled Liu Qi past him and left.Liu Qi was full of ambition, as if he had already obtained the official status, and he was at the peak of his life, but he was grabbed by Gao Hao and ran away.He quickly said: "Eunuch, wait a minute, I will go alone!"

Gao Hao was unmoved at all, and scolded: "The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting for you to die, what else do you want?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qi didn't say anything.This is a great honor, all court civil and military officials are waiting for him, even if he gets nothing, he can brag about it all his life.So Liu Qi let Gao Hao pull him through the long palace wall, entered the Daqing Gate, and ran straight to the Daqing Palace.

When he got to the front of the Daqing Hall, he realized that in the side halls on both sides, some officials and lords were all looking sideways at him.Satisfied his great vanity for a moment, Liu Qi's feet became light.

After stepping into the Daqing Palace, Liu Qi saw Lu Chengqi, who was tall and tall, and quickly saluted: "Shuzhou white body Liu Qi, see Your Majesty."

Lu Chengqi said indifferently: "Liu Qi, let me ask you, what is the so-called thing, do you want to beat the Dengwen drum, and want to tell me personally?"

Liu Qi said: "Return to Your Majesty, Liu Qi is here for the New Deal!"

Lu Chengqi had been prepared for a long time and said, "Let's hear it?"

"Your Majesty, since the implementation of the new policy, all the scholars in the world have been dissatisfied. I have waited for ten years to study hard, and what I did was to win the title of the gold list. Now I can only be a tenth-rank official who is equivalent to a subordinate. Even if I return home, I won’t have the face to see my hometown elders. Furthermore, the establishment of the ten-rank official system will cause too many redundant officials in Dashun and excessive expenditures in the treasury. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, officials and officials have always had their own ways. If the New Deal has been implemented hastily, officials will not be officials, and officials will not be officials, so what's the matter?" Liu Qi talked eloquently, seemingly with sufficient arguments, but in fact it was nothing more than a slap in the face.Such remarks have been published in "Shushe Bao", "Hanlin Daily", "Dengke Daily", and "Current Affairs Daily", but they are all similar with minor differences.When you say it here, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all expressionless. They have already presented these words in a memorial, but the little emperor doesn't even look at them. What's the use of you, a white body, saying it now?
Sure enough, Lu Chengqi said: "Nonsense! I said before that I don't need officials who come here just to be officials. Being an official is not for the people. Why don't you go home and raise pigs! Then I want to implement the ten-rank official system! The disadvantage of redundant officials is that there are too many officials? If every official works for the people and manages the world for me, there will be no more than one hundred thousand! You scholars, one There is no factual evidence and no investigation. How can you come to the statement that the national treasury is overwhelmed? Since the introduction of commercial taxes, they have been rising steadily, and the national treasury is definitely not in danger of running out of money. It is even more ridiculous that officials are not officials, and officials are not officials! In the yamen, only the chief officials do nothing. Why, it’s because the government affairs are all done by the subordinate officials. If this is the case, what use do I need these officials? Just use the officials!”

As soon as these words came out, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, while the military officials snickered.Dashun officials are all idlers, so it is definitely wrong to say that.But it is true that the chief official's ability to handle affairs is not as good as that of the subordinate staff.The little emperor dared to tell the truth, isn't this a heartbreaking statement!In the end, it is even said that only subordinate officials can manage the world. How can these officials be willing to obey?
The civil servants were in an uproar, but Liu Qi was confused: "Your Majesty, this is the voice of scholars all over the world!"

Lu Chengqi sneered and said: "Scholars like you don't need it! My new policy will benefit the future, contribute to the country, and benefit the people. Only you scholars want to overthrow it. Doesn't it prove that my decision is extremely correct?"

Liu Qi froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Lu Chengqi continued: "It's not that I don't care about scholars at all. I have already decreed that the number of scholars from Qiuwei in this department will be doubled compared with previous years. Even if they are all tenth-rank officials, they are still eligible for promotion. If they are capable enough, they will be tenth rank officials." How can a high-ranking official fail to make political achievements? The Ministry of Officials has already completed the inspection system, and I have seen it, and it is very pertinent. As long as anyone with ability and knowledge, regardless of their origin, can occupy a high position, for my Han family and for my great Shun makes meritorious deeds! This move will benefit the future, why are you so short-sighted?"

These words were clearly meant for Liu Qi, but in fact they were meant for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty?Lu Chengqi's determination to carry out the New Deal is irreversible.Coupled with the rapid growth of the Supervision Department, even if there is no fake Xiang army, it can still hold the place.Under these conditions, Lu Chengqi dared to launch a new policy, not afraid of causing trouble.

Liu Qi was in a hurry: "Your Majesty's new policy will benefit the country. But there are more than tens of thousands of scholars in the world? If your majesty doesn't listen to my heartfelt words, it will make the world's scholars feel cold!"

Lu Chengqi stared at Liu Qi, seeming to see through him all at once: "You just care about Menyin and Nali. The world is a poor scholar, but you support my new policy! I am not afraid to tell you the truth. From now on, Menyin , Nali, and all conveniences are considered illegal! If anyone dares to break the law, I will never forgive them lightly! Hmph, which one of those rice moths that were beheaded earlier was not an official position raised by Menyin and Nali Shu? , the only way to become an official is through the imperial examination, all other ways are delusional!"

The words were so loud, and every word was heartbreaking, the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty were so shocked that they had nothing to say.

"I'm tired, let's retreat!"

After Gao Hao heard this, he hurriedly said loudly: "The emperor gets up!"

"His Majesty Saint Ann!"

After the civil and military officials said this conditionally, Lu Chengqi had already stepped down the steps and strode out of the hall...
