The system suddenly became excited: [Aruan, what this person said makes sense. If a person without moral integrity governs the world, the people under him will suffer.]

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly. If someone with good moral character said this, I could barely think that he was a nerd who was dull because of his studies. But Wen Zhili...he was just talking nonsense.

However, Yuanruan's silence made the emperor misunderstand that Yuanruan approved of the other party's fusion plan.

The emperor immediately gave the prince a look.

The prince said: "This is not wrong, but the biggest problem is that the recommendation system cannot achieve the purpose of selecting officials with both moral integrity and talent."

Otherwise, the secret guards and the royal guards would not need to exist, and the Ministry of Justice would have fewer cases of "bribery", "land annexation", "bullying men and women" and so on every year.

Prime Minister Li agreed politely and also analyzed one, two, and three loopholes in the recommendation system.

Yuan Ruan listened and nodded repeatedly: [Tong'er, nephew is absolutely right. If the recommendation system is really that powerful, there would not be those corrupt officials in the four countries. They all came to power through the recommendation system.]

System: [That’s right. This person is trying to deceive people by changing the concept.]

Yuan Ruan nodded repeatedly: [Yes. Moreover, even if the recommendation system can select very kind people, after ten years of power, who can guarantee that their kindness will remain unchanged? ! Throughout history, there are countless examples of dragon slayers eventually becoming evil dragons. ]

The emperor and the prince thought thoughtfully: He who slays a dragon will eventually become a bad dragon. This is very meaningful.

System: [Right, right, right. Ah Ruan is really smart. He saw through it in one second.]

Yuan Ruan smiled awkwardly: [Actually, I was also moved at first, but... when I saw that the person who promoted this idea was Wen Zhili, how dare a man who eats for free say this?! I suddenly came to my senses.]

System: [What! He has the nerve to do that?!]

Yuan Ruan stretched out her little finger and pointed in that direction: [Of course he has the nerve! Look, he even dared to show up and talk to the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, tsk tsk…]

System: [The doctor of the Ministry of Personnel smiled at him. Ah, why is the doctor of the Ministry of Rites also watching there? Wait, why are there other officials guarding here? Do they all believe in civil governance and etiquette? Hiss... Could it be that these officials are also freeloaders? ]

Officials who secretly observed the students from other places: !!!

System, don't talk nonsense!

We are all good officials with a mission!

Among them, the first person to be named by the system was the official doctor who just kept a polite smile: ...

He took three steps back and refused the other party's invitation to shake hands. Then he quickly walked to the emperor and the prince and reported in a serious and low voice the details of the visit of this group of out-of-town students.

To sum it up simply, although Wen Zhili actively promoted theory here, only students from other places actively agreed with it. Local students either sneered at it or did not come at all, and were very good at following the trend and making trouble.

Yuanruan listened for a while, then responded to the system: [Tong'er, you are wrong. They are not being pretentious with Wen Zhili. They were just passing by after get off work and saw something was wrong so they came to investigate. They really have a heart for the country and the people.]

The officials who were a little unhappy about being slandered by the system were instantly moved: !!!

Thank you for being there, and fortunately we have the little national master to prove it for us.

System: [It seems so. I misunderstood before... Waqu, Ahruan, look over there! Something is going to happen!]

Yuanruan turned his head subconsciously.

The emperor, the prince and their entourage also looked over, and their pupils trembled.

Wen Zhili stood on a desk at some point. He was arguing heatedly with the student opposite him. The general content of the argument was that he wanted to combine the recommendation system and the imperial examination system. He had no selfish motives, just to allow Daxia to better select talents.

As he spoke, Wen Zhili shouted miserably: "There is a god above me, I am willing to swear an oath here. I, Wen Zhili, have said all this for the sake of the greater good. Today, I will jump from here and die to show my determination!"

After saying that, he jumped directly into the well next to him.

Everyone was shocked by this move.

Even the student who had argued most fiercely with Wen Zhili at the beginning rushed over recklessly, shouting miserably: "Oh my God, I believe you, isn't it enough that I believe you?!"

Before he finished speaking, others also rushed towards the dry well, and someone exclaimed loudly:

"Sacrifice your life for justice! This gentleman is a real man."

"Oh my god! He just jumped in like that?! Hurry up and save him!"

"Oh my God. Is there any rope nearby? It's too late to knock on the door. How about taking off clothes and making a rope to save him?"

……

Yuanruan, who had just raised his finger and had not yet had time to discharge, was stunned.

Is this still the man who eats soft rice and does nothing? !

Is he the kind of person who has a dishonest private life but is academically upright and impressive?

But that's not right! Wen Zhili is going to commit murder! How can such a low moral character be so pure? !

For a moment, Yuanruan's mind was confused and she even forgot to put down her raised hands.

The emperor and others also frowned, but still waved their hands, signaling their attendants to go and rescue the people. No matter what the trick was, they had to rescue the people first.

At this time, the system: [This person is really... so cruel to himself, and his acting skills are first-rate, no wonder he can live off others. ]

Everyone who was watching looked over:!!!

System, is there anything wrong?

Tell me quickly.

System: [He carefully selected this well. There is not much water at all, only up to his waist. He is now busy watering his upper body and hair at the bottom of the well, for fear that when he is rescued, people will find that his shirt is still dry.]

Crowd of onlookers: What the hell!

The doctor from the Ministry of Rites, who was rushing forward the fastest, suddenly stopped, with a look of shock on his face, showing that he had been fooled.

The military doctor, who had already taken off half of his clothes and was twisting them into a rope, was speechless and began to put on his clothes again.

However, the actions of these two people made the people nearby who could not hear their thoughts anxious again.
