In the Golden Palace.

Officials from the Censorate and the Prime Minister's Office took turns to fight, focusing on the "Audience Registration System" and the "Zhongzheng System", with various ways to curse.

Emperor Xiang Yanran was bored and felt a little sleepy when he heard it.

He had been listening to these confrontations for half a month and his ears were calloused.

Can't the court officials give some fresh curses?

Or just take a little more and come up with a result!

The prince Xiang Tiange, who was only fourteen years old, sat seriously on the prince's seat, but was full of relish and curiosity.

He originally thought it had nothing to do with him, it was a battle between the two sects of court officials, and he was just watching the lively struggle of the dynasty.

However, after being "incited" by Xiaohunhou, he suddenly wanted to see the positions of the officials of the two factions. He couldn't help but listen carefully and savor the intentions of the officials of the two factions.

The prince was surprised to find that he actually understood it.

There is only one thing that the officials of the two factions fight, that is, the "right to recommend".

Who is qualified to recommend the students to participate in the palace examination?!

According to the previous "annual system", only kings, princes, ministers, and officials of more than 2,000 stones have the power to recommend.

Almost all of them are nobles or top tyrants in counties, occupying the vast majority of the officials of the Great Chu.

The Confucian officials were extremely dissatisfied with this and proposed to reform the system, which required the "Zhongzheng system" - to use the great Confucian scholars of the times as Zhongzheng officials to replace the kings and princes and officials of more than 2,000 stones, recommend talents to participate in the palace examination, and enter the court to become officials.

Only in this way can more Confucian scholars enter the court.

Still a recommendation system.

It's just that the right to recommend has changed.

This involves the transfer of huge interests, which are transferred from nobles to Confucian scholars.

Naturally, the nobles of the clans would not easily give up this huge profit. They are not stupid, so why should they give up the recommendation rights they have in their hands to the great scholars?

The Censorate's fierce charge was once again ruthlessly blocked by the officials of the Prime Minister's Office.

The Prime Minister's Mansion, with the top ten clans of Jinling as its core, has too deep foundations. Three Dukes and Nine Ministers account for at least eleven high-ranking officials.

From Xie Hu Yong's prime minister, Li Rong's Grand Marshal, Wang Su's deputy prime minister, Taichang Lu Zi, the doctor's chief Cui Haoran, the farmer's chief Yang Chu, and Xiao Gongwang of the Shaofu... Which one is not a royal family?

Only the censor Kong Hanyou, who is the leader of the Confucian official.

Let the Censorate scold him, the Prime Minister's Office bit the same as he opposed the reform of the ancestral system.

The foundation of the Confucian school is in the middle and bottom of the Dachu county, and it is single and lonely in the court, and it cannot shake the nobles of the family at all.

Prince Xiang Tiange thought that the officials of these two factions were indeed fighting for their own interests, and did not seem to consider the emperor's intention.

If this continues, I am afraid that the Confucian faction will still return in vain in today's great dynasty.

The prince glanced at his father Xiang Yanran. His father looked indifferent on the throne and didn't know what he was thinking.

...

The censor Kong Hanyou was caught in a difficult choice.

The power of the Censorate officials is still too weak and there are too few people in the court. Once the officials of the Prime Minister's Office unanimously insist that the "annual system" is no problem and oppose the change to the "Zhongzheng system", he has no choice.

However, the emperor has issued a death order and today we must break the annual election system.

Otherwise, Dong Xianliang, the first to write a letter, would become a victim of charge and would definitely not be able to escape the fate of death.

The Prime Minister's Office must settle the accounts later. Dong Xianliang lost the county magistrate's official position and was afraid that his life would not be saved. The emperor would not care about Dong Xianliang's life or death.

He had to criticize the "annual senator system" and had to thoroughly prove that the "annual senator system" was not good. Only by winning military achievements could the emperor protect Dong's virtuousness.

This requires a source.

The best source is the "Little Hunhou" in the palace examination.

As long as the Xiaohunhou is criticized, the odor of criticism will not be heard. Then, the other candidates are not even as good as Xiaohunhou, so they are naturally all mediocre talents, and the entire annual system will be foul.

This is the only chance to break the breakthrough point of the annual tribute system.

However, once the censors attack Xiaohunhou, Xiaohunhou has the "Da Chu Mansion News" in his hand. Xiaohunhou's own combat power is also quite fierce. What should he do if he bites his hand?!

Xiao Hunhou must be kept silent and kept him from speaking.

Kong Hanyou made up his mind and stretched out a finger.

Implement Plan No. 1!

Soon, the censor next to him passed on this hint.

...

Chu Tianxiu was bored among the ministers of His Royal Highness, and suddenly an official next to him blinked at him and handed a roll of paper in his sleeve.

Chu Tianxiu took it in wonder and opened it to take a look.

It was the first agreement he and Dong Xianliang had already pressed Dong Xianliang's handprints on it.

Xiaohunhou protects Dong Xianliang, and Dong Xianliang has to owe a favor. This is Dong Xianliang's "selling contract". Once signed, he owes him Xiaohunhou a "hunhou's favor" and must be paid back in the future.

There was also a small note inside, "Little Hunhou, if you have any verbal offense in the court, please do not blame me!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled.

Isn't it enough to give him the three agreements long ago? He had already fired and helped the Confucian faction bombard the annual election system. He had to hand over the first agreement under the urgency of the court.

"Okay. I'll shut up, you can curse me!"

Chu Tianxiu agreed.

Anyway, he was used to being scolded by Xiaohunhou, and even if he scolded him a few more times, he would not lose his flesh. This agreement made Dong Xianliang owe a great favor, and the Confucian faction would pay a huge price for this.

Chu Tianxiu nodded, and the Censorate immediately began to bombard.

"The emperor, as we all know, Xiao Hunhou is a famous playboy in Jinling and has a bad reputation.

But he was the first in the palace examination in the year of Hai, which shows how unbearable the other candidates were.

In the long run of this, what kind of talent can we use? The annual election system is corrupt and we should immediately depose it. The Central Confucian scholars will select talents for the court."

A censor came out of the list and spoke righteously.

The court officials immediately looked at Xiaohunhou and cursed Xiaohunhou again. Under normal circumstances, Xiaohunhou would not tolerate it.

Chu Tianxiu remained silent.

Xie Huyong sat in the hall, silent all the time. He was the master of the throne, and he didn't need to go on stage in person in front of him.

Vice Prime Minister Wang Su sneered.

The Censorate once again used Xiaohunhou as a target, criticized the mulberry and criticized the sacred man and criticized the sacred man!

Xiaohunhou did not say anything, and there was no doubt that he had received the benefits. Otherwise, the censor would not dare to provoke Xiaohunhou, the strong enemy, at this critical moment.

However, it is not so easy for the Censorate to criticize the slandered young marquis from the palace examination to criticize the system of offending the year from the top!

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not a good meal.

"Your Majesty, I have a report!"

Deputy Prime Minister Wang Su stood up and did not object, but said lightly: "Your Majesty, Xiao Hunhou's paper is auspicious sign of the great prosperity of our Great Chu culture.

However, the courts, counties and the people still use bulky and inconvenient bamboo slips.

I ask the court to formally order the use of paper instead of simplified scripts and spread to the world!”

The Great Nong Order Yang Chu also submitted a memorial and said slowly: "I will discuss the expenses required for 'using paper instead of simplified paper' will be allocated by the Great Nong Order."

The Da Nong Order manages the finances related to Da Chu, such as the money, grain, taxes, etc., which is equivalent to the Ministry of Finance of the Central Committee.

"Damn~!"

Chu Tianxiu suddenly widened her eyes and was shocked.

The Hunhou Paper has been popular in Jinling City for a while. Although the imperial court has been using it, it has not issued any government orders to "replace paper with simplified paper".

Therefore, all counties and counties in various places, even Danyang County, which is hundreds of miles away, are still using bamboo slips, let alone other places.

This Prime Minister's Mansion is really willing to spend money!

At this moment, I took out the "using paper instead of simplicity".

A county uses hundreds or thousands of papers a day, and Da Chu consumes at least one million pieces of paper a day. This is just the lowest amount of use. Once it is fully promoted, it is normal to use tens of millions of paper a day.

This is definitely impossible without the Prime Minister's Office's order.
Chapter completed!
