Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 442
Chapter 441: Jiang Wan who sings the opposite tune
Faced with the firm attitude of Deng Guo to implement the imperial examination system, although it has a great influence on the nobles of the family, most of the nobles of the family chose to compromise for the survival of the family, and actively integrated into the imperial examination. Find another way out for the family.

The first imperial examination in Deng State is about to be held. When the nobles of all the aristocratic families have acquiesced in the emergence of the imperial examination system and are preparing for the imperial examination, there are still some aristocrats who are still unwilling to give up and try to prevent the emergence of the imperial examination system. The Jiangdong family, the Xie family, had the strongest reaction.

Although Zhang Chao reminded Xie Quan, the head of the Xie family, Xie Quan seemed to be still living in a dream. He felt that the family had done something to Deng Guo. Even if they crossed the line, Deng Sheng would not do anything to them. Many small aristocratic families began to criticize the imperial examination system in various places, describing the imperial examination system as a scourge, but the common people are no longer illiterate, and can clearly see right and wrong, so except for a few speculators , most people ignore them.

However, for such a situation, officials from all over the country cannot treat it as a blind eye. After all, the situation is too serious, so they have reported the matter to Wancheng.

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on March [-]th, matters related to the first imperial examination were already in full swing, and the date was set on the first day of May. Because it was the first session, there was no time What is important, the most important thing is to be fast, after all, the position of the prefect of the ten counties needs to be determined immediately.

In Qianyang Palace, there are a lot of papers on the desk of Deng Sheng. There are officials from all over the place criticizing the report of the imperial examination system, and there are some papers written by some stubborn nobles who oppose the imperial examination system. Wan, Zhang Bin, Su Hong and other confidant officials.

"Let's talk about it, how should we deal with this matter? The imperial examination is imperative, and I will never change my mind, but these aristocrats are really annoying to me. Before the imperial examination, I don't want to see them again. Do you understand these excerpts?" Deng Sheng frowned and said to Cui Hao and others, since the announcement of the imperial examination document was announced to the world, the poor families cheered, and although there were some complaints among the aristocratic families, most of them chose Accepted, everything is moving in a good direction, but there is also a fly in the ointment. There are still many stubborn people in the aristocratic family who refuse to follow the general trend. Deng Sheng is very tired of this.

After hearing Deng Sheng's words, Cui Hao and the others all looked at each other in blank dismay. This is a very tricky question. Aristocrats of aristocratic families are a very special existence no matter in Deng State or other countries. For aristocratic families, as long as the foundation of the country is not shaken Generally, those in power will turn a blind eye or close one eye, and just hope that everyone can live in peace, but now the imperial examination system is pushed by Deng Sheng, and it is one of the cornerstones of Deng's future policy. Opposing and criticizing the imperial examination system, in Deng Sheng's view, is tantamount to digging the foundation of Deng's country. Deng Sheng felt that he could never tolerate it, so he directly ordered to kill these people before the imperial examination.

"Your Majesty, these aristocrats from aristocratic families just couldn't understand His Majesty's intentions for a while. Now is the critical moment of the imperial examination. Why don't you send someone to warn these people and deal with them after the imperial examination is over?" Good old man Jiang Wan came out and said.Jiang Wan, who also came from aristocratic family, although he was very annoyed by these aristocrats who openly resisted the court without knowing good or bad, but Jiang Wan still insisted on taking it lightly, and would not do so much if he could do it!
Although Jiang Wan's approach is not a mistake, it can even be said to be a relatively safe approach, but Deng Sheng is very dissatisfied with it. He said it was a warning, but in fact he sent someone to appease these nobles of the family. Encouraging the arrogance of these aristocrats, this will not do any good for the implementation of the future imperial examination system, so Deng Sheng knocked on the desk with his finger, and said dissatisfiedly: "Jiang Qing, what I want is to solve the problem, not to calm down. Although doing so may bring temporary peace, it will not solve the problem in the long run, I repeat, what I want is to completely remove the obstacles that hinder the implementation of the imperial examination system, are you clear?"

Seeing this, Jiang Wan knew that Deng Sheng was dissatisfied with what he had just said, so he retreated and stopped talking. After Jiang Wan withdrew, Su Hong came out and said, "Your Majesty, it is certainly hateful for these aristocrats to criticize the imperial examination system. But the law does not blame the public, no matter how hard it is, we cannot deal with all these people!"

"What do you mean, Su Qing?" Deng Sheng agreed with Su Hong's words. The law does not blame the public. It is impossible to dispose of them all.

"What I mean is that we only need to deal with the leading families. In this way, the imperial examination system can be implemented smoothly, and secondly, we can make an example. With the lessons learned from the past, the rest of the people can only admit the imperial examination. It's under control!" Su Hong said, since it is impossible to deal with all of them, then pick a few leaders and kill them as an example.

Hearing Su Hong's words, Deng Sheng frowned slightly, and then looked at the papers on the desk. Among them, Jiangdong Xie's family was the one who criticized the imperial examination system the most. Deng Sheng nodded. Since he had to pick a bad guy, Then choose the Xie family. The Xie family is one of the four great families in Jiangdong. It has a lot of prestige in the entire Jiangdong, and even in the whole world. Well, it was him, so Deng Sheng shook the fold in his hand and said, "That's Jiangdong Xie's family!"

Su Hong nodded with a smile, and said, "As far as the moment is concerned, it can only be Jiangdong Xie's family!" Su Hong agreed with Deng Sheng's use of Jiangdong Xie's family as a target to make an example. , in fact, everyone present has seen it, and they all know that in this attack on the imperial examination system, the Xie family in Jiangdong made the biggest move and danced the most. If you insist on choosing a representative, it must be the Xie family. !

There was a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers, but the tacit understanding between Deng Sheng and Su Hong shocked Jiang Wan who was standing aside. Jiang Wan did not object to the method of killing others as an example. Jiang Wan also thought about it, but in the end he couldn't bear to give up. Now Deng Sheng and Su Hong actually want to take Jiangdong Xie's family into a knife. This is not a joke. , even the mighty Overlord of Western Chu back then could only choose to appease, but now that Deng Sheng wants to take Xie's family into action, a little carelessness may cause turmoil in Jiangdong.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan felt that he could no longer be silent, so he stepped out again and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection to killing all the ministers as an example, but this target cannot be the Jiangdong Xie family. The Xie family has been operating in Jiangdong for many years and has deep roots. In addition, the four great families in Jiangdong are united in the same spirit, if the Xie family is moved, there is no guarantee that other Jiangdong families will not die and feel resentment towards the court. This is extremely detrimental to the stability of Jiangdong, please think twice!"

Deng Sheng looked at Jiang Wan very dissatisfied. For some reason, Jiang Wan didn't like what he saw today, and he always jumped out to sing against him. This made Deng Sheng very unhappy, so he said to Jiang Wan with a dark face "Jiang Qing is too worried. The foundation of my Great Deng in Jiangdong is the common people, not the so-called aristocrats. As long as the common people are not bewitched, what can a few aristocrats do? As for the rest of the Jiangdong aristocrats, if they really dare Jumping out, that's just right, I want to see whether their family is strong, or the king of Deng, the widow, is more powerful. Let Su Qing handle this matter. As for those officials who oppose the imperial examination system, check it out If there is any lawlessness, we will investigate and deal with it one by one, and Su Qing will take the lead in this matter, Yushitai will fully assist Su Qing, I am exhausted, that's it for today, let's all go away!" After finishing speaking, Deng Sheng left Qianyang palace.

Su Hong looked at Deng Sheng's leaving back with a smile on his face, bowed his hands and said, "Here! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will live up to your high expectations, and the imperial examination will go smoothly!"
