Chapter 459 Selection System 1
As soon as Cao Rui went to the memorial, he wanted to reformulate the official selection and assessment system, but he encountered opposition from all sides.Although the officials in the court are not from the same faction.

However, on this issue, the attitudes are surprisingly consistent. First of all, they can get to their current position by themselves, relying on the power of the family.

And if their descendants want to gain a foothold in the world in the future, they also need to rely on the strength of the family.The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, that's it.

The rise and fall of the family, the honor and the disgrace, are regarded as one, and the prosperity of the whole family, the loss of the whole family, involves the interests of the family, and no official will stand idly by.

Even Prime Minister Xie hesitated on this issue.Xie An was able to go so smoothly in his official career, in addition to his own ability, he also had the support of the entire Xie family.

In the state of Jin, the status of Wang and Xie's family is incomparable, so Xie An's talents can be used at will with his backing on the big tree of Xie's family. Even when he entered the court as an official, it was for the purpose of revitalizing the family.

Therefore, when Cao Rui put forward this novel point of view, everyone except the new emperor showed varying degrees of opposition.

Cao Rui was alone and helpless on this issue, and was at a loss what to do in the face of Jin's current phenomenon of "the upper class has no poor families, and the lower class has no noble families".

The higher the family status, the higher the clan's official status, and the higher the clan's official status, the higher the family status, thus forming a vicious circle.

This vicious circle will not change due to changes in the imperial court. Even if there are several generations of emperors, they still have to select talents from famous families.

Therefore, the sons of the gentry do not need to be responsible to the country and do their best. They are mainly responsible to the family, and only after death. As long as the entire family does not collapse, they have hope, and their descendants have hope.

Wang Xianzhi's royal family is the largest family in the state of Jin, so Wang Xianzhi doesn't need to do anything, he can live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

What he gained from birth was not only wealth, but also status and political power. These things that ordinary people may not get in a lifetime, he can get them at his fingertips.

This is the power of the powerful family. It is shameless to say others, but Cao Rui himself can spend so many years without worry, because of the family's protection.

But now he can become an important official in the province without passing any examination system, because of Xie An's recommendation and his original identity.

At this time, Cao Rui took advantage of the convenience brought by the clan system, but criticized the disadvantages brought to Jin by the clan system, which was somewhat unconvincing.

On this day, after the imperial court, Xie An asked Cao Rui to go to the mansion for a briefing.

【Xie An Study Room】

Xie An sat in the first seat, and below sat Cao Rui, Xie Xuan and other young nephews.Xie An said to Cao Rui: "Recently, you proposed to change the existing official selection system. Although there is some truth, it is not suitable for the current form after all."

Cao Ruidao: "However, many children from wealthy families only like to talk about state affairs, and if such a person becomes an official, what is the use in the court?"

Xie An said: "The fact that powerful clans hold real power didn't start with Jin, nor will it end with Jin. Maybe you see Qin taking a new path, and you think it's good."

"However, have you ever thought that Fu Jian may be the only sage lord of the state of Qin, and the next monarch may not be a sage, so who will elect the country's talents at that time? By then their court will be in chaos among."

"Qin can appoint people on their merits because the real power is in the hands of the monarch, and the king of Qin is smart and wise enough to select talents suitable for his country."

 My male protagonist finally stopped being a flower in the greenhouse and was going to be on the political stage.
