Mingde Hall.

The ministers who were intimidated last night submitted memorials one after another, and what they said was so heartfelt!

"Your Majesty, please abolish the current official selection system! This method of selecting talents based on family background is no longer in line with the current government!"

"Your Majesty, the creation of female officials can help Fengcheng recruit talents! Create a prosperous Fengcheng for generations to come!"

"Your Majesty, this method of selecting talents based on family background has resulted in the loss of too many talented people among the people! This is Fengcheng's loss!"

"Your Majesty, we opposed it before because of the current situation in Fengcheng. Now it is precisely because of this situation that we have no choice but to abolish the existing official selection system!"

"Your Majesty, I support you in abolishing the current official selection system!"

All the ministers said in unison: "We support it!"

Gu Qingluo looked at the people below and curled her lips: "Don't you think that women can't take on important responsibilities?"

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Don't you think that abolishing the official selection system will affect the foundation of the country?"

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Minister, you looked at me, and I looked at you, and we saw fear in each other's eyes.

If it wasn't for the lives of their families, how could they support women serving as officials in the court?

Wasn’t it because of those men in black that forced him to do so?

If this were not the case, they would have to serve as officials in the court together with women.

Women are women, how can they be compared with men?

"Your Majesty, I have thought carefully and I believe that systems that are not suitable for the current development of the country should not be retained and should be abolished, otherwise the country will stagnate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we were short-sighted yesterday. Women can also accomplish great things!"

Gu Qingluo felt that Ji Yanchen and Jiang Wenci had done a great job in seeing their frightened expressions.

This group of people will only compromise when their interests and lives are threatened.

These snobbish villains will be dismissed and investigated as soon as fresh blood comes in!

Let's see how they can make this court a mess.

"Very good. I am deeply relieved that you, my dear ministers, agree with my approach."

"I believe that with you here, Fengcheng will last for hundreds of years!"

"Since the old system of selecting officials is to be abolished, a new system of selecting officials must be established to replace it."

"Your Majesty, do you have a better system for selecting officials?" Ji Yanchen asked at the right time.

Gu Qingluo smiled confidently: "Have you ever heard of the imperial examination?"

The ministers shook their heads.

"You don't know, so let me explain it to you!"

"I am attentively listening."

Gu Qingluo lowered his voice, cleared his throat and said, "The so-called imperial examination is the fairest system of selecting officials."

"Eunuch Su, you will tell everyone the story from now on."

Eunuch Su opened a booklet and read it aloud.

"The main examinations of the so-called imperial examinations are held regularly, usually divided into the provincial examinations at the local level, the provincial examinations at the central level and the palace examinations."

"The first place in the county exam is called Jieyuan, the first place in the provincial exam is called Shengyuan, and the first place in the palace exam is called Zhuangyuan!"

"Those who pass the county examination are called Juren, those who pass the provincial examination are called Gongshi, and then they can participate in the palace examination. Those who pass are named Zhuangyuan, Bangyan, and Tanhua!"

"The exam content is set to include calligraphy, calligraphy and poetry, and martial arts."

"Starting from next month, we will start organizing the first county examination. After the county examination, we will prepare for the provincial examination, and finally the palace examination."

"Your Majesty will be supervising the palace examination."

"Those who get the top three can serve as officials in the imperial court!"

"Those who take the imperial examinations are not divided by gender, age or class."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers started talking about it. Although they still disagreed in their hearts, this imperial examination system was indeed much fairer than the one based on family background.

As long as common people pass the exam, they have the opportunity to serve as officials in the court. This is a relatively fair and just selection system that allows more talented and capable people to get a platform to display their talents.

This system broke the aristocracy's monopoly on power and status, making society more open and equal, promoting the progress and development of Fengcheng. At the same time, it also encouraged people to keep learning and making progress, and to fight for an opportunity to change their fate with their own strength!

"My dear ministers, do you have any ideas?"

"If not, I will have to arrange for people to prepare for the county, provincial, and palace examinations!"

"Although the preparations for this imperial examination were hastily made, the talents selected are relatively sound!"

"You can sign up for the provincial examination tomorrow. We need to publicize it in every place. We must not limit it to the capital!"

"Do you have any objections?"

The ministers looked at each other, clasped their hands and said, "We have no objection."

Gu Qingluo: "Good! Very good!"

"Lord Ji, you will be in charge of the palace examination, the provincial examination will be in charge of the cabinet minister, and the provincial examination will be in charge of Kong Yuqi."

When a minister heard the name Kong Yuqi, he asked, "Your Majesty, isn't Kong Yuqi a criminal? How can we let him take charge?"

Gu Qingluo's gaze fell on the minister, so cold.

"The case of Kong Yuqi has already been thoroughly investigated. He was murdered by the Dali Temple Minister. He is now the Minister of Rites."

"I believe him!"

The minister swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said nothing more.

After leaving the court.

The notice on the implementation of the new official selection system was posted all over the capital.

Some people who saw this notice were happy while others were worried.

Everyone who looked at the list was delighted.

"Mom, did you see that? Your son has a chance to serve as an official in the court!"

"The current emperor is a wise ruler, a wise ruler!"

"Women can also take exams? That's great, I don't have to be trapped in that backyard anymore!"

"No need to look at it anymore. Hurry up and sign up. The exam is next month."

……

In the Mingde Palace, Gu Qingluo lay exhausted on the chaise longue.

After the imperial examination system is implemented, Fengcheng should get better.

If anyone fails to do the publicity well, she will kill them all!

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Helian requests to see Your Majesty."

Gu Qingluo waved his hand: "Tell him to come next time, I'm tired."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a while, Tingxue came in again and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Kong wants to see you."

Gu Qingluo opened his eyes impatiently and sat up: "Ask him in."

As soon as Kong Yuqi came in, Gu Qingluo gave him a cold look.

"Why didn't you come to see me last time?"

Kong Yuqi said in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, I am fully aware that I have committed an unforgivable sin. I really do not have the face to meet you!" His voice trembled slightly, as if his heart was filled with fear and guilt.

"Besides, I have insulted Your Majesty before, and I am too ashamed to see Your Majesty now!"

"Today I heard that Your Majesty has entrusted me with such an important task. I am truly terrified!"

Gu Qingluo walked down and saw him lowering his head. She said coldly, "You came in here without even looking at me straight in the eye!"

"Am I some kind of monster in your heart?"
