Affectionate Prince, Be Gentle - Chapter 734
“What’s that?” Ling Tianwang asked, looking at him with deep eyes.
Under the gaze of Ling Tianwang, he slowly vomited out his turbid breath and said word by word, “as long as your majesty opens his mouth and allows the merchant’s children to enter the imperial examination, your majesty will be able to get what he wants!”
After his voice fell, the court Hall of Nuo Da was quiet.
Those ministers carefully looked at Ling Tianwang and observed his look. Their breath was subconsciously light, and there was no small action of looking at each other.
Even Zhang, who made up his mind at the beginning to make trouble for him, clenched his fingers and calmed down.
In such a quiet and stuffy environment, I am afraid only Ling Tianwang has not been affected.
He even casually changed a more comfortable posture for himself, and then slowly looked at the man who lowered his head after saying the words.
He was a little curious about why this man had so much courage to point his sword at the scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, a class concept that has been circulating for thousands of years.
“Why do you think so?” Ling Tianwang asked softly.
The man licked the dry lip, because Ling Tianwang didn’t immediately get angry and quietly relieved.
Hearing his inquiry, he grinned bitterly in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked like he was serving the country and the people.
He tried to straighten his chest and take it for granted. He said, “although the merchants’ status is low, there are still many people who insist on it for the sake of money.”
“They have money in their hands, but they have no power or status. Their life wish is to be able to change their status, and allowing their descendants to take imperial examinations is something they want but dare not think about.”
“Therefore, your majesty only needs to give this order, and they are willing to fight for your majesty! Not to mention the money that you can’t take away with you
When he spoke, Ling Tian nodded his head slightly, which was already moved by him.
How can this be! How can the children of those merchants who are covered with copper rust go to school with them! Mr. Zhang thought in his heart that he didn’t control his expression well for a moment. His eyes were splitting, and he looked very ferocious.
Compared with those Hanlin civil servants, Ling Tianwang treated merchants and farmers equally.
But
His eyes swept over Mr. Zhang’s body, and the color of his eyes gradually deepened.
“Does Mr. Zhang have something to say?” Ling Tianwang asked with a smile.
Suddenly hearing Ling Tianwang’s voice, Mr. Zhang was stunned. He lowered his head and adjusted his expression with difficulty.
“I don’t think so!” A moment later, he raised his head again and glared at his colleagues.
“Why not?” The other side was not frightened by his attitude, but quickly turned Ling Tianwang’s attitude in his heart and asked him back.
“With lower taxes, both businesses and farmers can stand on their own feet, and allowing their children to take the imperial examination can easily win the hearts of businesses and make them work for the country and the people! everybody ‘ s happy! Why not?! Does Mr. Zhang have other plans in mind? ”
“You’re bloody!” After listening to his guess, Mr. Zhang naturally could not admit it and retorted in a flurry.
Seeing that the two of them were fighting with each other, Ling Tianwang could not help frowning. He felt a little tired.
“On the court hall, how can you be presumptuous!” He yelled coldly.
Because of this sentence, the two quickly lowered their heads and made a submissive gesture.
Ling Tian looks at Leng hum, but he doesn’t care about their face.
“Why not?” Ling Tianwang looks at Mr. Zhang with cold eyes.
“The merchant’s children stink of copper,” Mr. Zhang said indignantly, “how can we let them pollute the expensive school!”
Hearing this, Ling Tianwang took a deep look at him and asked, “in this way, Mr. Zhang must have no assets.”
After listening to the previous sentence, Zhang Da was very proud. Just as he wanted to nod his head, he heard the following words. His expression changed and his gesture of nodding was stiff in the air.
No assets I’m afraid even the old peasants in the field can’t say that! What’s more, he is not really so cool!
Looking at his stiff and ferocious face, Ling Tianwang gave a slight smile and didn’t say anything.
But when the ministers in the court heard the laughter, they lowered their heads and looked more respectful.
At the same time, they also had some complaints about Mr. Zhang. They didn’t understand why the other party had to pull something, and they were covered with copper.
The officials in the court hall, even those who are not qualified to stand in the court hall, are counted as one. Who has ever confiscated filial piety!
But now it’s too late to think about it. What they can expect now is to let it go.
Ling Tianwang is sitting on the high dragon chair. With a glance, he can clearly see the changes of everyone’s expression in the court.The smile on his face was more and more intense, but on the contrary, it was the frost on his eyes.
These are his “good” ministers!
After a long silence, Ling Tianwang finally said, “I don’t think Wenchen is so noble, and it’s no fault to hurt people.”
Seeing someone frowning in the court, Ling Tianwang chuckled and asked, “what do you think of the ministers?”
What do you think? I dare not have any idea!
Those ministers who were once proud of their academic status looked at each other, and then bowed to Ling Tianwang with the same action.
“Your Majesty is holy.”
They shout with one voice, many voices form a wave, layer upon layer towards the court hall.
It’s still interesting, thought Ling Tianwang.
“It’s settled like this. The merchants’ children can take part in the imperial examination together.” Ling Tianwang said, “if they make great efforts to build the school this time, they are also allowed to donate an insignificant official.”
It’s settled in this way. No one dares to gossip in front of Ling Tianwang, even though they are dissatisfied.
“Retreat.” Ling Tian Wang said a word lightly and went straight out.
The eunuch, who was one step behind, quickly repeated, raising his voice and shouting, “retreat.”
Ling Tianwang’s decision soon spread to the outside world, aroused people’s enthusiasm for discussion, and made this new country live all at once.
For a long time, the doors of the rich merchants’ houses were not closed, and the visitors came one after another.
The songs of those dissolute CHILDES who were once carefree in the red willow green had no qualification to be carefree, and they were pushed into the school one by one. The family even wanted to let them get back a scholar immediately.
