The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui had long wanted to take action on the content of the imperial examination.

Although it's only been four years since he ascended the throne, Xiao Rui's control over the imperial court has never been firmer.

The first is Dongchang. This is the butcher's knife hanging over the heads of civil and military officials! The current Dongchang has not developed to the point where people can talk about it in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and Wei Zhongxian has not become nine thousand years old, but this does not mean that Dongchang has relaxed its supervision of civil and military officials. Xiao Rui gave Dongchang a lot of spying responsibilities, but it was just a low-key job.

This knife has been hidden in the sleeve, when Xiao Rui is about to take it out, it will be bloody.

Secondly, Xiao Rui still holds the Daxia Daily in his hand.

Don't underestimate Daxia Daily, if Dongchang is a ghost blade that kills secretly, then Daxia Daily is a sword that kills people in the daytime. Especially in the capital, where the five religions and nine streams, scholars, farmers, and businessmen gather together, after a few articles, a bad person can be praised as a good person, and a good person can be condemned as a heinous person.

What's more, now that Daxia Daily is handed over to Jia Xu, this killing sword has become a 40-meter-long killing sword.

Furthermore, the six ministers, the cabinet, and the commanders are all Xiao Rui's confidantes, and he said boldly that even if the Supreme Emperor returns from Yingzhou now and wants to be the emperor again, there are very few people who support him. This is also the reason why Xiao Rui dared to conquest himself as soon as he ascended the throne, and it took him a year to go out.

In the end, under the wise leadership of Xiao Rui, the Qin State was destroyed, the high-level officials of the Yuan State were destroyed, and the Yuan people did not dare to invade the Xia State. Reached a peak, respected and revered by the people.

Therefore, Xiao Rui has the confidence to take action on the content of the imperial examination.

Who dares to object now?

However, Xiao Rui didn't directly resort to tough measures, and also wanted to seek stability, so he released rumors a few years ago and caused a stunt to see who was the first to strongly oppose it. Now that the time is right, Xiao Rui started to promote this matter.

First of all, in the early court, Xiao Rui affirmed the importance of the imperial examination system for the selection of talents in Daxia, and pointed out that the content of the imperial examination was not perfect and comprehensive.

In the next few days, Lu Yuanzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, wrote a letter and put forward suggestions for improving the content of the imperial examination.

There was no other way, as Minister of the Ministry of Rites was in charge of major imperial examinations, he had to take the blame for Emperor Xiao Rui and become the target of criticism by scholars. Although everyone understands that this is His Majesty's idea, political affairs are like this.

Xiao Rui expressed high praise and approval for Lu Yuanzheng's perfect opinion, and then announced it to the world to solicit opinions from civil and military officials.

Soon, Lu Yuanzheng's opinions on improving the content of the imperial examination were exchanged and discussed by scholars.

According to the content of the opinion, the content of the imperial examination is not only about classics, writing, and current affairs policy, but also other content, including farming knowledge, legal content, tax rates, etc. Originally, only four books and five classics were studied, but now the four books and five classics only account for 80% portion.

Of course, this is only the first step.

According to Xiao Rui's plan, the imperial court will find someone to write special textbooks. In the future, the imperial examination questions will be selected from these textbooks, and then the weight of the Four Books and Five Classics will be gradually reduced, and examination subjects will be added, divided into literature subjects and professional subjects. No longer only reading rote books, rote books.

After seeing the changes in the content of the imperial examination, most of the scholars opposed it. After all, the content has increased and the difficulty has also increased.

However, Xiao Rui also provided them with convenience, that is, changing the three-year exam to once a year, so that although the difficulty becomes greater, the opportunities are increased, and the difficulty is for everyone, not for individual people. In addition, the number of selected talents is also increasing. After all, the current Great Xia has a vast territory, which is equivalent to the fusion of four countries, which also gives scholars more opportunities.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who agree with it. They are not proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. Now the weight of the Four Books and Five Classics has been reduced, which is beneficial to them.

Xiao Rui plans to use six years to thoroughly improve the imperial examination system, make the imperial examination system more fair, and select talents who have the basic qualities to be officials.

Although many officials opposed the changes in the content of the imperial examinations, no one dared to express their opinions in person. Do you really think that His Majesty is asking officials for their opinions?

Do not make jokes.

Xiao Rui waited for several days, but no one responded.

So on the new day, when Xiao Rui sat on the dragon chair, Wang Dazhi shouted: "Play early if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

At this time, Xiao Rui waved his hand, stopped the reports of other officials, and said first: "My dear friends, up to now, no official has raised any objections to Lu Shangshu's suggestion on improving the imperial examination. I am very pleased, it seems that you all Ai Qing supports this opinion, just like me!"

The officials were silent, His Majesty had already said this, and no one dared to object.

Lu Yuanzheng stood up and said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the improvement of the content of the imperial examination is the general trend. Only by following the situation can we create a new future for Daxia. If we continue to follow the old ways and fail to keep up with the development of the situation, the order will be unstable. If you are willing to be a sinner of Daxia, you will definitely support the improvement of the imperial examination system.”

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Lu Aiqing is right! I will entrust the Ministry of Rites with full responsibility for such important matters that benefit the country."

"The humble minister leads the order." Lu Yuanzheng received the order respectfully, and then withdrew.

Xiao Rui specifically emphasized this matter in the morning, that is, to beat all the civil and military officials, and tell them that this is something he is watching closely, and he must push it down without any effort. Whoever dares to play tricks and make trouble, don't blame Xiao Rui for being cruel and merciless up.

 …

At this time, it was on the grassland of the Yuan Kingdom.

Temujin, who occupied the royal court, proclaimed himself Khan, and Qu Chulu's brother-in-law Kohanda also proclaimed himself Khan. The two began to compete for the ultimate position in the grassland.

Kehanda's force was relatively weak, and he was not Temujin's opponent at all. In addition, Guo Jia advised Temujin, and soon wiped out Kehanda's forces, and Kehanda was also captured alive and escorted back to the royal court.

So far, Temujin has become the only khan in the Yuan Kingdom, and the newly appointed leaders of other tribes all follow his example.

Afterwards, Temujin began to worship the wolf god, the heaven and the ancestors, and became a real khan.

On the second day after Temujin became Khan, Guo Jia also started his final plan.

It has been more than four years since he entered the grassland, and the life on the grassland made Guo Jia look rough, more like a person from Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, he lived in a huge house outside the imperial court, which was given to him by Temujin. It was very close to the imperial court, and it was the house of Qu Chulu’s younger brother, which shows that Temujin attached great importance to Guo Jia. .

In the quiet study room, Guo Jia took out a brocade box, which contained nothing but the Three Corpse Brain Pill.

"Boom..."

At this moment, Guo Jia was startled by a knock on the door. Guo Jia quickly put away the Three Corpse Brain Pill and said, "Come in!"

crunch...

A beautiful woman from the Yuan Kingdom came out, wearing the unique costumes of the Yuan people, with braids on her head, fair skin, and a beautiful appearance.

She is Guo Jia's wife and Temujin's sister, Princess Minmin.

"Ah Xu, brother, he sent someone to deliver a letter to invite you to the imperial court for a dinner. Brother, he invited the new leaders of the various tribes." Minmin walked over and said with a smile.

Guo Jia used a pseudonym, named Guo Xu.

He looked at Princess Minmin and couldn't bear it.

This woman really loves her, obeys her words, and loves her too, but she has a mission, so she can only be ashamed of her love.

"I know!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

Seeing Guo Jia's smile, Minmin suddenly walked forward, snuggled up to Guo Jia, and asked, "Axu, what's wrong with you? I feel like you have something on your mind?"

Guo Jia smiled gently and said, "I just feel that your elder brother has finally realized his dream and became the king of the grassland. My mission is also over."

Minmin smiled and said: "My elder brother said, thanks to your support by his side, you are the biggest contributor. This banquet, my elder brother will definitely reward you heavily."

Speaking of this, Minmin was a little disappointed, and said: "It's a pity that I am useless, and I have been unable to help you conceive offspring. A Xu, why don't you marry a few more, I have already found for you, and their appearance and figure are very good." excellent."

Guo Jia shook his head, he understood the reason of Minmin's inability to conceive best, the elixir prepared by the genius doctor Hua Tuo himself, and the native doctor of the Yuan Dynasty couldn't find the slightest clue at all.

"There's no rush right now, we'll talk about it later."

Guo Jia hugged her, let her lean on his shoulders, then sighed in his heart, and said silently: "I'm sorry."

As night fell, Guo Jia and Min Min entered the imperial court together to participate in the banquet.

This banquet was extraordinarily grand, and all the leaders of the large tribes in the grassland were invited.

Temujin was high-spirited, and the banquet was at its climax during the intertwined schemes. Temujin pulled Guo Xu up and said to the crowd: "It is thanks to Guo Xu's help that this Khan can achieve today. He is both my brother-in-law and my brother." It is my answer! From today onwards, Ben Khan announces that Guo Xu is the Great Master of the Yuan Kingdom, one man below ten thousand!"

Guo Jia showed a slight smile, and under the gaze of everyone, he picked up two glasses of wine, handed one to Temujin, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Khan, I am ashamed to take this glass of wine to congratulate His Majesty Khan." !"

Temujin took the wine with a smile, bumped into Guo Jia, and said with a smile, "Come, drink to your heart's content!"

After all, raise your head and drink.

Guo Jia also drank it afterwards, and the final plot was completed.

The banquet lasted until late at night, Temujin was drunk alone, and even Minmin was drunk by Guo Jia, and was helped back home.

After the ugly hour, the royal court returned to silence.

Guo Jia walked out of the house without telling the servant, when there were two people standing in front of the door.

"Sir, the horses are ready." There was admiration in the eyes of the two.

They are spies placed in the royal court by Xichang, and the greatest honor of being spies is to occupy a high position among the enemies. And the person in front of him has achieved the position of the Great Master of the Yuan Kingdom. This is simply the ultimate dream of a spy. Will he be able to sit on the position of Khan if he works harder?

"Thank you for your hard work! Let's go!" Guo Jia said gently, looked back at his "home", and then resolutely left.

He needs to go back to his real home.
