System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

Xun Yu is like digging up someone's ancestral grave.

"My dear ministers, I am not the kind of person who is heartless."

"Xun Wenruo's words are quite reasonable, but if it makes your old age miserable, I will never allow it."

"Let's see what he says."

Dong Yu suppressed everyone and spoke seriously.

Seeing Dong Yu say this, the military heroes present suppressed their inner annoyance and stared at Xun Yu one by one, wishing they could eat him.

Since ancient times, reforms and changes have basically shaken the interests of the meritorious class.

"First, there is the reform of officials, including the official selection system."

"I believe that the system of three dukes and nine ministers should be abolished and replaced with three departments and six ministries... In addition to the Secretariat, the Ministry of Personnel and the Secretariat should be established. The six ministries should be the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Personnel. In addition to these, there should be another..."

"This will not only solve the problem of redundant officials, but also greatly improve efficiency."

"As for talent selection, the court could hold regular imperial examinations to select truly talented scholars for official positions, rather than those who are merely overqualified to fill the ranks."

Xun Yu spoke clearly and explained the specific contents of the three-province and six-department system to everyone present.

The military officers couldn't understand, and the civil officials were terrified.

It turns out that the first blow of this reform was aimed at them.

Xun Yu was ruthless enough, he was truly a sharp knife in the emperor's hand.

However, Daqian's current situation is just like Xun Yu's handwriting, weak and frail.

The emperor was at the height of his power and the country was flourishing in martial virtue. Civil servants born in this era had little say at all.

So when Xun Yu spoke, almost no official present dared to speak.

"I think what Minister Xun has said is very appropriate."

"This system must have taken years of hard work to perfect."

"Since this law is so appropriate, from today on, the official system will be reformed, abolishing the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and replacing them with the Three Departments and Six Ministries."

"At the same time, I hereby announce to the world that the court will hold its first imperial examination in three years. The examination questions will be drafted by Minister Xun Ai and submitted to me after they are completed."

Dong Yu looked at the team of civil servants who dared not move at all, and made the decision immediately.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all problems were not complicated, so they were quite easy to deal with.

"As for the title system, I believe that if Daqian is to prosper for thousands of years."

"The inheritance system of titles should be reformed."

"If the title of nobility were to be reduced by one level each generation until it returned to the people, this law should be implemented for everyone from the king to the duke."

"The imperial court does not support idle people."

"If the court continues to support them, they will inevitably be dragged down and destroyed."

Xun Yu took a deep breath before speaking again.

"What Lord Xun said is very much in line with my heart. Since we have mentioned the title of king, let the royal family set an example."

"If my sons are granted the title of king after two generations without any meritorious service, they will be demoted to heir king; if they are granted the title of duke after three generations without any meritorious service, they will be demoted to duke; if they are granted the title of commoner after four generations without any meritorious service."

"By the way, yesterday all of you signed the Ten Thousand Ministers' Book. Today, I will also press my seal on this book as proof."

Dong Yu spoke up immediately before everyone else exploded.

When Wan Chen's letter was brought to the hall, the military heroes present immediately became speechless.

What warriors value most is face.

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing they can do.

What's more, Dong Yu had set an example for the royal family, and the speed at which their titles were reduced was not as fast as that of the royal family, so they naturally had nothing to say.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and they would be content if they could protect their descendants for three or five generations.

Three years after the reform

Wuping Year 5

孙府

As the residence of the Sun family, it has always been deserted.

After all, as the defeated party, no one wants to get close to the Sun family.

Even if the younger sister of the Sun family was a concubine in the palace, it still could not change the current situation of the Sun family in the Wuping Dynasty.

I'm afraid that if the Sun family wants to enter the officialdom, they can only recover gradually when the old man Xiliang gradually fades away.

"Mud!"
