Chapter 439: The wise man from Yingchuan

Deng's imperial examination system was implemented under Deng Sheng's insistence. However, the birth of the imperial examination system shocked the whole world, and the poor family was filled with joy. In the past, if the poor family wanted to enter the officialdom, except for the chance of being almost valued by the king, they could only join the nobles of aristocratic families. In this way, they would have the opportunity, but from now on, they would no longer be free. Simply put, it is to exchange freedom for future generations. Now with the imperial examination system, the poor family would have a day to make a name for themselves and would no longer have to rely on others to live.

However, the nobles of the aristocrats were panicked about the birth of the imperial examination system. Except for the loyalty of the Wancheng nobles who belonged to Deng Sheng, all the nobles of the other aristocrats began to connect with each other, hoping to find a way to deal with the implementation of the imperial examination system.

Yingchuan County, Yangdi City, Xun Mansion, and the clan land of the Xun family of the Yingchuan family, Chen Geng came to the door and asked the Xun family leader Xun about Yu Yunwen's appointment as the prefect of Yingchuan and the imperial examination system of the imperial examination system.

Since Deng Sheng purged the three major families in Nanyang and destroyed a large number of Nanyang families, the Yingchuan family has become the strongest aristocratic group in the Deng Kingdom. In the entire Deng Kingdom, except for the Nanyang family, which is still in the weak, other aristocratic nobles are all outsiders. However, whether it is the Jiangdong family, the Jingnan family, or the Jingbei family and the Shu family, they have experienced a bloody battle during the incorporation into Deng Kingdom, and their own strength has been greatly weakened. Only the Yingchuan family. When Deng Kingdom destroyed Han, the Yingchuan family sent Chen Qun out of the mountain to help Deng Kingdom stabilize the situation in Yingchuan, thus gaining the position of prefect of Yingchuan. From Chen Qun to Xun Yu, the Yingchuan family has controlled the entire Yingchuan County for twenty years. In addition, it has been standing in Yingchuan County for hundreds of years. Just Yu Yunwen and Xunqiu are not afraid. As for the imperial examination system.

Xunzi sighed and said, "Brother Chen, since the king vigorously promoted paper, you and I have thought that there would be such a day. This is the general trend. Today's king is a powerful lord who is rare and has great ambitions. He is not comparable to the Han king of the past. It is undeniable that the implementation of the imperial examination system will definitely pose a threat to our aristocratic family. However, since the king calls for the implementation of the imperial examination system at this time, it means that the king is not afraid of our aristocratic family. He holds hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in his hand, and the king does not need to be afraid of our aristocratic family. The imperial examination system is imperative and not something that our aristocratic family can stop it!"

Although Xunqiu had never seen Deng Sheng for many years, from what Deng Sheng had done in the years in power in Deng State, it can be seen that Deng Sheng may not be the most capable king in the world, but he is indeed the most ambitious. The implementation of the imperial examination system shows that Deng Sheng is dissatisfied with the control of the officialdom by aristocratic families and nobles. Now there are many talented people in poor families. As early as twenty years ago, Xunqiu thought that there would be such a day, so he was not surprised. Moreover, he also knew that as long as Deng Sheng was determined to do something, their aristocratic family could not stop it.

"After that being said, we can't sit still and wait for death!" Chen Geng said unwillingly: "I think my aristocratic family has stood firm for many years. During this period, all of them have relied on our aristocratic family to achieve hegemony. Now, in a word, the imperial examination system allows us to hand over the power in our hands. How is that possible?"

"But do we just accept our fate like this?" Xunqiu said it easily, but how could he be willing to let Chen Geng accept his fate like this?

Xunzi comforted Chen Geng and said, "Brother Chen, the general trend cannot be changed by human power. This Deng Kingdom is the king of Deng after all, not from our aristocratic family. Fame, fortune and wealth are all passing by, power and wealth, and will not be gone after a hundred years? Power is something that cannot be brought by life or taken away by death. It will be gone. There is no regret. Only the inheritance of the family is the top priority. As long as the family has produced talents from generation to generation, the imperial examination system is just a stepping stone for us!"

"It's still Brother Xun's open-mindedness. I'm not as good as foolish brother. Listening to my words is better than reading for ten years. I understand. Our Yingchuan family will not participate in this matter. Anyway, with Chen Qun and Xun Yu and Xun You, there will be no problems with our Yingchuan family in the short term. As for the future, let's talk about it in the future. I don't believe that our family's accumulation for hundreds of years is not as good as a poor family!" Chen Geng breathed a sigh of relief and thought it through. The general trend is not something they can change. Since it can't be changed, then take the initiative to welcome it. The hundreds of years of heritage of the aristocratic family is not just a vegetarian. It's just an exam. Who is afraid of whom!
