C1550

Even if Tang Yin was the King, if the ministers under him did not support his decision, it would be difficult for it to continue.

He surveyed the ministers present and said, "This matter has already been decided, and will not be changed. If the lords do not agree, then we will discuss it again. Today, we must come to a conclusion."

Just as Tang Yin's voice fell, Zhang Zhe stood out and said, "Your Majesty, with the current state treasury, there's no way that it would be able to support the construction of so many academies and academies."

"Then go and think of a way for me." Tang Yin said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me the treasury can't support it. Our country is sitting in so many counties, why can't we support the construction of a few academies or academies?"

Zhang Zhe laughed bitterly, if he did not take charge, he would not know the value of money! There were many counties under the jurisdiction of Feng Country, but most of them had just been incorporated into the Feng Country. The taxes collected were pitifully small, and the Feng Country also required the support of eleven legions.

"Continue the discussion here! This King will go out and take a look first! " As he spoke, Tang Yin stood up and got off the throne. With his hands behind his back, he walked out of the great hall.

Tang Yin had left, all the ministers were stunned, what else was there to discuss?

Not to mention how much money it would cost to build so many academies and academies around the country, just by relying on the academies and their examinations to select officials was already a joke in the world.

Everyone looked at each other. Zhang Xin looked at Shangguan Yuanji and asked: "Right Prime Minister, we ? What are we going to discuss here? Didn't we clearly express our opposition in front of the King just now? "

Shangguan Yuanji tapped his forehead and muttered: "What a headache!"

Zhang Zhe let out a long sigh, and said faintly: "My King, on the battlefield, you are an unparalleled Monarch, but how would you know how to rule a nation!"

Normally, his words would have met with reprimands, but now, everyone was thinking the same thing.

Huben Army Commander Nan Yan looked at the surrounding people and said, "This ? When is this going to happen? I was in a hurry to go back to camp to practice my horse and army. " As he spoke, he walked over to Qiu Zhen, cupped his hands, and said: "Prime Minister Qiu, how about... Go and talk to the King? "

Qiu Zhen looked at Nan Yan and asked, "What does General Nan want me to talk about with the King?"

"Just say that we have reached an agreement ?"

Qiu Zhen immediately shook his head and said: "I'm not going." The King's intentions were very clear. She wanted to announce this decision immediately, but the ministers' opinions were also very clear. None of them agreed with him, so what was she supposed to say to the King? So what?

Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and the rest all gathered around and said, "Prime Minister Qiu, you should go and advise the King.

also came over and said: "The King has always listened to Prime Minister Qiu's advice the most. Now that Prime Minister Qiu is going to persuade the King, it is the most suitable choice."

Everyone shouted their views to one another, they did not even give Qiu Zhen a chance to excuse themselves, and in the end, they had truly gotten into a huge argument. Qiu Zhen surrendered and raised his hands up to stop the crowd, weakly shaking his head: "Alright, alright, I'll go persuade the King, this will do alright alright!"

Under the anticipating gazes of all the ministers and generals, Qiu Zhen walked out of the great hall and inquired the guards. Knowing that Tang Yin had gone to the flower garden, he quickly walked over.

Arriving at the garden and seeing Tang Yin who was seated in the pavilion drinking tea, Qiu Zhen cupped his hands in greeting and said softly, "Great King!"

"What is it? There's a result? " Tang Yin put down the teacup and looked at Qiu Zhen.

"There is indeed a conclusion, but it is not a result that will satisfy the King." Qiu Zhen said.

"Then let me discuss it again!" Tang Yin said resolutely.

"Even if we continue discussing, I'm afraid this will still be the result." Qiu Zhen said carefully.

"Oh?" Tang Yin laughed, and said: Since we can't finish today, let's do tomorrow's discussion, if tomorrow's discussion can't end then we can continue it the day after tomorrow. When will the conclusion be enough for me to be satisfied, then you all can leave the palace!

"Your Majesty ?"

"I know the rules of not killing those who remonstrate with me, and I also know the principle of preventing the public from saying anything more than that. I allow you to raise objections, and I will not touch a single one of those who disagree with me, so, you can go and discuss it, but only if you satisfy me."

After Qiu Zhen heard this, he secretly sighed, and at the same time, asked a question: "Why is the King so insistent on this matter?"

"Because I know what I'm doing is right, it's beneficial to my Feng Country."

"All the countries in the world have no precedent like this. How can the King be sure that what she has done is the right thing to do? She will definitely benefit my country."2

Tang Yin opened his mouth to explain, but he did not know how to explain. He changed the topic and asked: "Qiu Zhen, you are against this decision as well, right?"

Qiu Zhen agreed. "Yes, your Majesty. Maybe the way to recommend officials has many drawbacks in the King's eyes, but Generals s in the army, such as General Xiao, General Zi Ying and the others, all relied on recommendations to become the current general, success stories are everywhere, and the system of imperial examinations recommended by the King is unprecedented in history, so the risks are too high. In terms of current circumstances, it is not suitable for the entire country to carry it out. "

"Even you think so ?" Tang Yin muttered. In his eyes, among all the ministers, Qiu Zhen was the most open-minded. Even he thought that the current recommendation system was stronger than the imperial examinations, so he could imagine what the others thought.

Qiu Zhen continued to speak, "If the King really wants to carry out this so-called imperial examination system, she should also put the date of its implementation behind. When there are no wars in the vicinity of our country and our national conditions are stable, she should choose a few counties and counties to carry it out for trial, first to see how the results are, and then to make a decision."

Tang Yin seriously considered his words for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said: "If we cannot carry it out today, and let the ministers see me soften this matter, the resistance in the future will be even greater. At that time, the ministers will definitely increase their resistance even more."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "You are right, the recommendation system has many successful examples, but the drawbacks are equally great. Don't tell me you don't know that some officials recommend useless mediocrity to the court for personal gain. The system had to be changed! And we have to change it immediately! "

Qiu Zhen could not deny that such a thing had really happened, and he sighed: "This ? "After all, it's a small minority ?"

"A few?" Tang Yin laughed coldly and said: "My Prime Minister Qiu Zhen Qiu, don't think that people are as noble and honest as you. When the silver of thousands of snow flowers is placed in front of you, how many people can resist?"

Qiu Zhen no longer spoke. He had nothing else to say, because no matter how this matter went, it would only lead to a dead end. He held it in for a long time, then cupped his hands towards Tang Yin and said: "Your Majesty, this subject... "I'll take my leave for now."

"Yes!" Tang Yin replied softly. Without even looking at him, he picked up his teacup and drank his tea slowly.

Just as he had said, if he could not implement today's rules, then when he raised it again in the future, the voices of opposition would be louder, because this concerned the fundamental interests of all the officials of the Feng Country, and no one was willing to give away this right for no reason.

When Qiu Zhen returned to the main hall, all the ministers who were waiting for his news gathered around and asked, "Prime Minister Qiu, how was it? Has the King given in? "

Sigh! Qiu Zhen shook his head slowly and said: "The King said, if we cannot come to a satisfactory result for the King, then no one can leave. We can stay in the Palace and discuss about it, when the result will satisfy the King, and when we can leave and return home."

"Huh?" The ministers' eyes were all wide open as they stared blankly. What was this? The King was dominating the weak, acting on her own will!

Zhang Zhe sat on the ground and said: "Since that's the case, then, we can only continue to waste time with the King!"

Zhang Xin looked at him, and then subconsciously touched his own neck and muttered: "If Your Majesty gets angry, we won't be able to bear the consequences."

"If the Master Zhang is scared, you can go beat the King's horse." Zhang Zhe laughed.

Zhang Xin glared at him fiercely, but didn't argue with him this time. Shangguan Yuanji continued: "Master Zhang is overthinking it.

Tang Yin was unwilling to show his face, the ministers of the imperial court were also unwilling to give in, and the situation entered a deadlock.

Time passed minute after minute. The morning assembly that started at one o'clock in the morning dragged on until noon, and then it also dragged on into the evening.

At the end of the day, the ministers were in the imperial court without a single bite of food or water. Many of them were too exhausted to sit in the imperial court.

Tang Yin who was in the flower garden was rather relaxed, if he was thirsty he would drink tea and if he was hungry he would eat dessert. Although he had spent a day with the ministers, he was still full of energy.

In the end, when Cheng Jin saw that he could not continue on like this, he secretly sent out his Hidden Arrow Crew to the imperial harem to find Yin Rou, begging her to persuade the King.

After hearing the report from Hidden Arrow Crew, Yin Rou was also shocked. She knew that the harem did not allow them to participate in the imperial government, but Tang Yin had trapped all of the ministers inside, not allowing them to leave the palace. She also did not give them food or water.

The first thing Yin Rou did was go to the great hall of the Anterior Palace. Seeing that the ministers present were all paralyzed on the ground like eggplants, she immediately said to the guards at the entrance of the great hall: "All of you go and prepare tea and food for the Masters!"

"This ?" The guards looked at each other, but no one moved.

Yin Rou reprimanded angrily: "Do you dare to not listen to my orders?"

"This little one doesn't dare!" "The princess doesn't know that the king has ordered that no one is allowed to bring food or water to the lords and generals, and those who disobey will be executed." A guard timidly whispered.
