"this......"
Chen Zhong was suddenly speechless.
Everyone present was lost in thought. It was indeed so. Even though the recommendation system could maintain the status of their aristocratic families, it also caused the soldiers in the army to suffer greatly.
"Your Highness! We fully support the imperial examination system!"
Chen Zhong said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty! We fully support the imperial examination system!"
Afterwards, all the military officers knelt facing Emperor Liang.
This!
The civil officials present all looked defeated. Qin Yu said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty! In my opinion, since the civil officials do not agree to implement the imperial examination system, then let the military officials preside over the examinations and prove the benefits of the imperial examination system to all the civil officials. That way, the civil officials will naturally agree!"
what!
After hearing what Qin Yu said, all the civil servants present turned pale!
It would be fine to implement the imperial examination system, but if the first imperial examination was presided over by military officers, it would be a disaster for the civil service group!
"Your Majesty! We also believe that the imperial examination system can be implemented. Moreover, this imperial examination system requires an examination. Since it is an examination, it must be presided over by someone with literary talent!"
"Your Majesty! Minister of Rites Zhong Lige is the most suitable candidate!"
The civil servants spoke out one after another.
These civil officials all understood this tacitly: if Daliang used the imperial examination system to select talents, it would mean that future military officers of Daxia would also have to come from the ranks of civil officials.
Moreover, the imperial examination selection is to test literary talent. How many military men can have literary talent? This is equivalent to cutting off the roots of the military officers' power. From now on, the Daliang court will all listen to the civil officials!
"Your Majesty! I also propose that Minister Zhong preside over this imperial examination. At the same time, I am willing to go all out to select talented individuals for Daliang!"
Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice, which obviously coincided with the opinion of the civil servants present.
"Father! The imperial examinations are divided into the civil examination and the military examination. The civil examination is naturally a test of literary talent, while the military examination tests literary talent first and then martial arts prowess. Candidates are selected based on the comparison of scores from both examinations!"
"In this way, the military officers selected will all be talented in both civil and military matters. With a little training, they will become rare generals!"
Qin Yu said that it was naturally impossible to let the civil servants succeed.
This!
The civil servant was so shocked that his jaw dropped, and the look he gave Qin Yu was filled with anger and resentment!
Not only did they abolish the recommendation system and implement the imperial examination system, but the imperial examination system was also divided into civil examinations and military examinations. Doesn't this mean that military officers must participate!
"Your Majesty! Your Highness's suggestion is brilliant!"
Chen Zhong said immediately.
All the military officers had happy expressions on their faces. You know, martial arts is very expensive. How many people in Daliang can afford to learn it?
What’s more, you have to learn literature while practicing martial arts!
Their children are naturally more advantageous than the children of civil servants, so of course they are willing to do so!
"Your Majesty, I second your opinion!"
The military officers spoke one after another.
Emperor Liang was also very satisfied with Qin Yu's proposal. He nodded and said, "Since all of you ministers have no objection, then we will proceed as the Crown Prince wishes. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War will jointly discuss the specific matters for the first imperial examination."
Afterwards, Emperor Liang looked at Qin Yu deeply and said in a deep voice, "Dismiss the court!"
Emperor Liang stood up and left. He was deeply shocked by the suggestion Qin Yu put forward today. This kid must be up to something and must be hiding something from him!
