My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

However, in just one Qin State, so many officials have been dismissed and demoted that the court's reserve of Advanced Scholars may soon be exhausted. This year's Imperial Examination will likely need to expand greatly.

If Li Nuo can truly visit every state in Daxia, for years to come, it may be necessary to hold the Imperial Examination annually.

Closing this letter, a hint of a smile surfaced on his face.

In any case, he finally saw some hope.

In these few months, over twenty scholars from the Four Great Academy have already generated Vast Qi.

Without exception, they have all been guided by Li Nuo.

With each additional official in the court possessing Vast Qi, there will be one less corrupt official. One day, those of integrity will no longer be the minority...

Ministry of Personnel.

An official walked into the government office, handed a document with both hands to the Right Prime Minister, and said: "Teacher, the Left Prime Minister ordered the Ministry of Personnel to double this year's intake of Advanced Scholars... "

Delivering this document to the Right Prime Minister, he continued: "Mr. Su and his numerous disciples are contacting court officials to send their advice for the Emperor to establish an heir. Should we... "

Before he could finish, the Right Prime Minister waved his hand and said: "No need to get involved."

The official nodded and said: "Yes."

At this moment, a figure walked in from outside, and the official slightly bowed to him and exited the government office.

The Right Prime Minister looked at the document in his hand and said: "In just Qin State, dozens of officials were dealt with. Merely doubling the number of Advanced Scholars this year may not suffice..."

The Left Prime Minister said: "Then let's recruit another hundred people. The local government is already seriously overstaffed, not all vacancies need to be filled. This is a great opportunity to cut down on official positions. If it's still insufficient, we can hold the Imperial Examination every year. There will always be a time for full recruitment..."

The Right Prime Minister glanced at him in slight surprise and said: "Seems you've finally made up your mind this time."

The Left Prime Minister let out a sigh and said: "Nothing can be established without breaking first. Daxia has been sick for a long time and needs a thorough blood replacement; otherwise, any reforms will be futile..."

Over these years, one managed the Secretariat and the other the Ministry of Personnel. Though they were friends, their political views differed.

The Right Prime Minister's political views were more radical than his.

He believes that reform cannot be accomplished overnight; it needs to be gradual. Some policies should be appropriately relaxed, and some court loopholes should selectively be ignored. Once their lives improve, they will naturally help more citizens to lead better lives...

The Right Prime Minister wanted comprehensive and total reform, rigorously investigate corrupt officials, severely punish unrighteous landlords, and rebuild a new Daxia.

Facts proved him wrong. After those people lived good lives, they did not think about helping the world but rather prevented more citizens from living well.

What Li Nuo is doing now is actually what the Right Prime Minister wanted to do back then.

He looked at the Right Prime Minister and said: "You are right."

They had argued for so many years, and now, being acknowledged by the Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister showed no apparent emotional fluctuations but merely shook his head with a smile and asked rhetorically: "Do you really believe this is a thorough blood replacement?"

He folded his hands behind his back, looked out the window, and slowly said: "Li Xuanjing had the Wang family officials in court killed, leaving less than one-tenth. But what's the use? Of the three hundred Advanced Scholars recruited over the past two years, officials from the Six Great Families account for over seventy percent, and the Wang family exclusively occupies twenty percent. In no more than twenty years, they will return to their previous positions. Nothing will have changed..."

The Left Prime Minister fell into silence; it was an indisputable fact.

The few famous family clans possess the top-notch lineage themselves and control vast regions of Daxia. As long as the Imperial Examination method remains unchanged, very few can compete with them.

Even if the Imperial Examination undergoes the most thorough reforms, they can still find ways to directly or indirectly nibble away at the court.

Today's Daxia appears to be moving in a positive direction.

But looking back at history, it's just a cycle.

Eventually, everything will return to its original position.

By then, the Law may be re-modified, and various reforms may gradually be abolished unless the Six Great Families fall...

The Six Great Families and Daxia have a relationship of mutual survival; if the Six Great Families fall, Daxia is not far from national downfall.

The Right Prime Minister broke the silence proactively, saying: "Su Meng is rallying disciples and numerous courtiers to persuade the Emperor to establish an heir and abdicate, you are closer to him, go persuade him, you are the only one who can do that..."

The Left Prime Minister took a breath and said: "He probably won't listen to persuasion..."

Both in the Confucian Fifth Realm, with both having spent decades in court, they see many things quite clearly.

The Emperor is unwilling to do anything no one can force him.

Completely infuriating the Emperor will only lead to a dead end.

Su Meng's temperament is fierce; otherwise, he wouldn't have given up entering officialdom back in the day. It's very difficult to persuade him...

Su Mansion.

"Mr. Su, dozens of gentlemen in Chang'an's various academy are willing to petition."

"The number of responding students in Chang'an has already exceeded a thousand."

"We are still striving to reach courtiers, but apart from several Imperial Censors in the Imperial Censorate, few have agreed..."

The old man surnamed Su frowned, waved his sleeve, and said: "A group of cowards, spineless, wasted years reading saintly books, the tyrant is unworthy, traitorous officials are rampant, and they only dare to watch with open eyes..."

At this time, a middle-aged man came in, and whispered a few words into the old man's ear.

The old man surnamed Su raised his brows slightly, tidied his coat, walked into a side hall, looked at a figure, and directly asked: "Cui Jian, are you here to join me in advising the Emperor?"

The Left Prime Minister shook his head and said: "I came to advise you, don't try to enrage the Emperor, you will die, and many will also die because of you..."
