The Divine Doctor Son of the Female Master

The palace guard who came in to escort the people was standing next to Wei Ran. Upon hearing what he said, he followed the emperor's order and picked up the memorials, letters, account books, and petitions that recorded the grievances of the common people, etc. on the ground and handed them to Su Ziran one by one to read, and then passed them to the next one, and then the next one.

The hall was suddenly silent, with only the sound of flipping papers and heartbeats mixing together.

Each minister took it carefully, opened it tremblingly, and closed it in horror.

This Wei Ran...isn't he too bold?

How dare she?

Also, who are these recommended people?

Not only are they ignorant, but they also have bad behavior. It even lists who likes to fight and cause trouble, who does evil, who is dissolute, who visits prostitutes, etc.

This? Isn't this courting death?

"It seems that I have been too gentle with you in the past two years, which has caused you to become more and more courageous~"

Luo Qingzhi smiled nonchalantly, and her smile was so gentle.

However, when the old ministers saw the emperor's expression, they couldn't help but recall how the emperor ascended the throne four years ago, stepping on countless corpses, with the sword in his hand stained with countless blood, step by step among the mountains of corpses.

At that time, her eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and she treated those who blocked her way without mercy. In an instant, the whole sky was splattered with blood. The bloody and cruel scene still makes them shudder.

Finally, she stood at the highest point and smiled slowly.

"The winner is king, the loser dies. Now, the Lord of Daqi has changed!"

He has a dignified posture, like a true overlord, overlooking his own kingdom.

And they all witnessed her thunderous methods along the way, and they all bowed down to her.

Looking at this smile now, the fear and sigh in their eyes emerge again along with that memory.

At the same time, I was also guessing that today might not be a good day.

"Now I know that I, the official of Daqi, am not an official, but only pursue my own selfish desires, power or profit, and have forgotten what my original duty is."

"Since you dare to act so recklessly, I will take back the power I have given you."

Luo Qingzhi's words were grim.

"From now on, I will set up a civilian inspection team to visit every place in Daqi. If any local officials are found to have committed crimes, they will be reported to me and dealt with according to the law!"

"Of course, this doesn't mean that we should only listen to their words. When they are investigating openly, my secret prison will also go to investigate secretly. It is for confirmation, but in fact it is for supervision. I want to see how many corrupt insects there are in Daqi under the inspection of both open and secret."

After hearing what he said before, the ministers still had some hope, but the last sentence made them tremble in their hearts.

Dark Prison——

That's a place that even ghosts are afraid of. If you're really targeted by them, you'll be skinned alive if you don't die. In other words, life is worse than death!

Sure enough, the emperor really started bleeding people.

"And since you don't have the ability to select useful people for me and the world, from now on, I won't need you anymore."

"Your Majesty..." Some ministers dared to stop the emperor's decision.

But under the bone-chilling chill emanating from Luo Qingzhi, he swallowed and dared not say anything else.

"From now on, the official selection system will be overhauled. The previous official selection mechanism will be abolished and a national unified examination will be implemented. I will send people to strengthen examination supervision to ensure fairness and justice."

"The examination system will include provincial examinations, metropolitan examinations, and palace examinations, and the final decision will be made by me personally."

"As for those who take the exam, regardless of their family background, wealth, or social status, everyone can take the exam, gain fame, and become an official in the court. This imperial examination system will be implemented in the future!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a murmur of discussion in the court, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction.

Unfortunately, they don’t know that there are still “good things” waiting for them!

"As for you, you are all under assessment. Those who are qualified will continue to be employed or promoted. Those who are unqualified or are actually mediocre will be asked to step down and make room for newcomers. Daqi has no time to support a bunch of useless people."

"Did you understand, my dears?"

There was deathly silence in the hall.

They wanted to resist this matter, but the incident of Wei Ran and the previous recommendation of talents were still vivid in their minds. They had no position and no reason to oppose it.

If he dared to express his opposition, wouldn't that be telling the emperor clearly that he wanted to rebel?

"...I obey your decree."

The ministers were dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything in rebuttal at this time.

Luo Qingzhi looked at them coldly, then left.

Seeing this, Fei Ling shouted loudly: "Dismiss the court!"

After returning to the bedroom and changing into casual clothes, Luo Qingzhi came to the imperial study.

At this time in the imperial study.

Su Ziran and Ming Yu had been waiting here for a long time, and they were talking casually about something.

"It seems that Azhi has had a lot of 'experience' recently, which is why she made such a big fuss when she came back!" Su Ziran sat on the stool that Fei Ling had brought over, smiling with gentle eyes and elegant manners, but there was actually a flash of sarcasm in the depths of his eyes.

Azhi had already mentioned what happened during this period in the letter.

"Yes, in the capital, although the ministers have been making small moves, they dare not be so bold as to commit crimes under the emperor's nose. I didn't expect that the officials in remote areas are so bold! They are just pulling the beard off a tiger's head." Mingyu's eyes were sharp and his voice was excited. He sneered: "Looking for death!"

Su Ziran sighed, "For a long time, the aristocratic families in the court have been like a tangled web, and the humble ministers are like fireflies. The powerful and the wealthy are all around, and the children of the humble families rarely see the light of day and are easily crushed. That's why they are so unscrupulous in secret."

If the person behind her was not Azhi, she would have been powerless in Daqi, and no matter how knowledgeable and talented she was, she would have been suppressed by those powerful people.

"So, it's time to inject some fresh blood into the court!"

A deep and serious voice sounded.

Upon hearing this, Su Ziran and Ming Yu stood up at the same time and were about to salute, but Luo Qingzhi waved her hand to motion them to sit down.

In private, they never pay too much attention to etiquette and rules.

She walked to the imperial desk and sat down, saying sternly, "I will personally select the candidates this time. I want to see who dares to disobey the imperial order and undermine the imperial power."

After that, she looked at Su Ziran, "Ziran, what do you think of the imperial examination system mentioned in the morning court?"

Su Ziran naturally nodded in agreement with Luo Qingzhi's words during the morning court session, but she frowned slightly, "As you said, Azhi, no matter whether one is born noble or humble, rich or poor, as long as one passes the exam, one has the opportunity to enter the bureaucracy."

"This open system provides opportunities for the lower classes of the country to enter the upper class, promotes class mobility, and makes it so that the court is no longer dominated by the powerful and aristocratic families. This is naturally a good thing."

At this point, her expression was slightly solemn. "However, if a large number of poor students and common people flock to the court, it will weaken the aristocracy's monopoly on official positions to a certain extent. They can no longer obtain official positions based solely on their birth, but will be placed on the same level as common people and poor people, and prove their abilities through study and examinations. This means that their status will be weakened, resulting in losses in their interests."

"——Then they will naturally not watch this system being implemented. They will not dare to oppose it openly, but they will definitely find ways to prevent its implementation in secret."
