Chapter 54 The words are amazing
Everyone said that the new official took office three fires, but no one thought that Zhao Hengwen's first fire would burn so fiercely that everyone was caught off guard!
After Xia Zhi left Xingqing Palace that day, the emperor recruited Marshal Jiang Cheng, Minister of War Yun Fanlou and several generals into the palace for a secret talk, and after they left, he invited Zuo Prime Minister Fan Jing into the palace for a secret talk!
A few days later, the emperor issued a decree in the court to open the martial arts. All the courtiers of the aristocratic families were shocked, and then they all stood up and listed the disadvantages of the martial arts to oppose!

The emperor in the hall looked at a group of opponents standing out from the hall, although he had expected it before, but seeing the real situation, he still couldn't help being annoyed!Looking sideways at Xia Zhi on the left, he saw Xia Zhi standing as calmly as a mountain, not even the slightest bit unhappy about it!He also slowly suppressed the anger in his heart.

At this time, Marshal Jiang Chengjiang, who had been fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, and always complained that he was ill and would not come to court, stood up and bowed to the palace, saying: "I agree to carry out martial arts! Let warriors who want to be loyal to the country can pass Use martial arts to serve the country!" The voice was full of spirit and resounding!

Everyone did not expect that Marshal Jiang, who was a transparent person in the court all day long, would stand up and agree. It stands to reason that he should be the most opposed. After the implementation of the martial arts, a large number of newcomers entered the military management. power!
No wonder outsiders say that the Jiang family is the sword in the hands of the royal family. Wherever the royal family points, the Jiang family's sword will pierce. Now that the royal family is going to attack the army, the Jiang family will offer it with both hands without hesitation!
In terms of qualifications, the Jiang family has agreed, and they have no position to object!It's just that they have to stick to it no matter what. The Jiang family doesn't care about being divided, but they don't want to!
The Jiang family is the soul of the army. Many military officers in the court were born and died with Marshal Jiang, or were promoted step by step from the army by Marshal Jiang. Most of them were born in poor families, so naturally they don't care about the beatings of the family. plan!At this time, Marshal Jiang agreed, and they all stood up for reconsideration!

For a while, everyone was arguing in the court hall and disagreed endlessly. At this time, Zhao Hengwen, the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple, stood up and bowed to him, saying: "The emperor! I ask the emperor to abolish the official recommendation system, and appoint officials in the future. Get talents from the imperial examination!" After speaking, he took out a memorial from his body, and raised his hands above his head!

In this memorial, he wrote in detail the disadvantages of recommending talents by officials, nepotism, only recognizing relatives but not talents.Buying and selling official positions, as long as you give officials bribes, you can be an official regardless of talent. This phenomenon is especially obvious in the localities.In order to increase the power in their hands, all officials recommend their cronies to important official positions and form a faction to advance and retreat together!

Xia Zhi had been standing calmly by the side, listening to the commotion in the hall calmly, when he heard Zhao Hengwen's request, he couldn't help but look sideways at him, he didn't expect this Zhao Hengwen to have such foresight!I lifted him to this position because this position was going to be vacant. Judging from his talent and learning, he can be regarded as my student, and he offended the Duke of the country. If the starting point is too low, it may be difficult for him to succeed , just let him sit!

From the looks of it now, even this position was too much for him!I couldn't help but value him a little bit in my heart!

At this moment, Chaotang was like a drop of cold water being poured into a pot of hot oil, and the pot exploded immediately!I don't worry about whether to carry out martial arts anymore. If the official recommendation system is abolished, the blow to the various families will be devastating!

Just now, only a few officials related to various prefectures stood up to oppose it. Now several princes and the Hou Ye of the Houfu couldn't stand up anymore, and they also stood up to oppose it. Prime Minister You even tearfully reprimanded Zhao Hengwen. , The recommendation system has been passed down for hundreds of years, and I have never heard of any inappropriateness. I just want to cover the whole by citing some very individual phenomena.How can he, a little young minister, question this, and try to ban it in vain, his heart is to be punished!

After Zhao Hengwen finished speaking, he kept his posture, no matter what others said, he would not move!He himself knew that this was a bit reckless, but he didn't care, since he had decided to work for Duan Wang's mansion in the future, in order to repay their kindness of knowing and saving their lives, he should make his attitude clear, and he also cut off his own way out. Can only go forward!

The emperor looked at the objections of the officials below, put the memorial in his hand on the table in front of him, suppressed the anger in his heart, and promised to suppress this matter!

There is no rush for this matter, it is good to hurry up, but the more important thing is to seek stability, this matter should be left to the future to figure it out slowly!

Since then, Zhao Hengwen has not only been hated by the Duke Huguo, but also by the whole family. The emperor did not agree to this because of everyone's opposition this time, but it must have left a sign in the emperor's heart. There was a knife hanging above his head that he didn't know when it would fall, and everyone looked at him again with unkind eyes!

Xia Zhi looked at the haze in everyone's eyes and frowned slightly. Zhao Hengwen was too sharp this time, and Mu Xiuyu would be destroyed by Lin Feng. He couldn't let him die without growing into a good man, so he sent a secret guard to him. Protect him by your side!

The abolition of the official recommendation system has not been implemented, but the holding of martial arts has been decided, and it will be implemented immediately. It is initially scheduled to start in September this year, and in the future, it will be held every three years like a civil examination!
Then Duke Protector stepped forward again, and he was still talking about the affairs of King An Ruchao!
This time the emperor finally let go and was willing to let King An enter the court, but the emperor felt sorry for King An's weakness and asked him not to do things that were too tiring and exhausting for him!
After several days of court discussions in the court, it was finally decided that An Wangxia would be appointed to work in the Ministry of Industry!
King An formally participated in the government, and most of the people's knowledge of King An came from outside rumors, at most, on important occasions, they looked at one side from a distance, and it was difficult to even say a few words, let alone anything understood!

Now we are discussing matters together in the court, seeing that he behaves kindly and has a very gentle temper. He really is as gentle as jade, and he doesn't look like someone from the royal family. Although his body is a little thin, he doesn't look like the rumored short-lived In this way, everyone's minds became active. No one supported King An before because they were afraid that he would not survive the present. Now that there is no such concern, they are eager to move. After all, they support an emperor with a family and a gentle personality to come to power. , compared with a powerful emperor coming to power, the former is more beneficial to him!
Since then, the factional disputes in the court have gradually become clear. Although the emperor has a lot of trust in King Duan, he will not favor him in political affairs. Both parties have their own gains and losses. Hide the clumsiness and use all your strength to fight. This is the battle for the throne, and it is also a battle between the conservatives and the reformers!
Xia Zhi has been watching the direction of the court with cold eyes, very good!Everything is running in the direction he planned!
