Five hundred and thirtieth chapters stagnant water
Zhao Jin immediately noticed the change in the other party's title.
He smiled silently and said nothing.
When he looked away, he glanced at Cen Qianzhong, who was still standing. His face was a little stiff, or in other words, his whole body was a little stiff, obviously because he had been standing for a long time.
"Hey, Master Cen, why are you still standing here? Sit down quickly."
Cen Qianzhong breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands towards Zhao Jin, "Thank you, Your Highness."
He walked to the seat next to Mr. Cen, and halfway through sitting down, Zhao Jin's voice suddenly sounded, "However, Mr. Cen should pay attention to exercise on weekdays."
Xingmu glanced at Cen Qianzhong, and Zhao Jin said slowly: "I have only been standing for less than a quarter of an hour, and Lord Cen is already stiff."
Cen Qianzhong was halfway seated and froze in mid-air. He was so disturbed by Zhao Jin's words that he could neither sit nor sit down.
After a while, Cen Qianzhong sat down a little heavily. He couldn't talk about anything later. He had been standing. If he didn't sit down now, he might not even have the chance to sit down later.
Even so, Cen Qianzhong was still feeling very depressed.
Mr. Cen saw this scene in his eyes, with a bad look on his face. He held his crutch in his right hand and said, "His Royal Highness is here at the Cen Mansion, but what is the important matter?"
Zhao Jin relaxed his body, leaned back slightly, and looked up at Mr. Cen, "Mr. Cen, let's not beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point."
"Thinking about recent events, both of you know that Gu wants to relax the threshold for poor students to participate in the scientific examination and reduce the number of recommended places in various counties, cities and counties."
Cen Qianzhong's eyelids twitched, he really came here for this matter.
Mr. Cen and Zhao Jin looked at each other with obvious dissatisfaction in their eyes, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ideas are really unconstrained."
"Ha." Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes, almost saying that he was dreaming.
He was not angry, and said calmly: "Mr. Cen is joking. It's not necessarily unreasonable, right?"
Mr. Cen sneered rudely, "His Royal Highness, you are just the crown prince now."
The old and hoarse voice emphasized the word "Crown Prince" specially, as if to remind Zhao Jin of something.
"Mr. Cen is right, so what?" Zhao Jin pretended not to understand and nodded, then looked at Mr. Cen in confusion.
Mr. Cen had obvious anger on his face, and he put his left hand on the top of the crutch. He held the top of the crutch with both hands and knocked the ground hard.
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"
"Your Highness, everything has not yet been decided. Do you want to be enemies with all the noble families? Are you enemies with the scholars in this world? Your Highness is still young, but don't be too arrogant and get yourself involved!"
Cen Qianzhong was almost frightened to the point of breaking into a cold sweat by what Mr. Cen said. He was in the house all year round, so he didn't know much about him, but he was an official in the court and knew more about Zhao Jin.
His Highness, the Crown Prince, is not a soft persimmon.
His ability and courage are all top-notch, and it is almost difficult to find someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Zhao Jin raised his lips and smiled a few times, shook his head and said, "Mr. Cen, I still don't quite understand."
"Why do you pretend not to understand, His Royal Highness?"
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you pretending? I really don't understand what Mr. Cen means."
He knocked on the desk with his finger and said slowly: "Mr. Cen said that nothing is final yet, so what is this variable?"
"I wonder if Mr. Cen can tell Gu." Zhao Jin's voice was not loud, but very serious, "Who is this variable?"
Mr. Cen's face was slightly stiff, his hand holding the crutch couldn't help but tighten, and veins appeared on the back of his dry hand.
Zhao Jin waited for a moment, but did not get an answer from the other party. He smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Cen doesn't know what this variable is."
"Is there really anyone who can become a variable?" Zhao Jin asked again.
The three people present all knew what this so-called variable was.
But as Zhao Jin said, can anyone else become a variable?
The most outstanding princes, Zhao Xingyu and Zhao Xingzhi, had lost their qualifications and even lost their lives because of their rebellion. Zhao Xingzhi had lost his left arm and obviously could not sit in that position.
The remaining princes are either too young or have mediocre talents.
However, Zhao Qian is now seriously ill and cannot train a new prince.
In short, Zhao Jin does not have any strong competitors now.
Even if they join forces to push Zhao Jin down, the cannons and explosives Zhao Jin has are enough for them to drink. If they fail to save Zhao Jin's life, they will be the ones who lose their lives.
But they were not sure that they could kill Zhao Jin.
After a while, Mr. Cen finally said, "Your Highness, even if there are no changes, are you going to make enemies of the world's scholars?"
Zhao Jin slowly suppressed the smile on his face, "Mr. Cen, you have misunderstood. The one who is the enemy of the world's scholars is not Gu, but you."
"Most of the scholars in the world, except for those who are engaged in martial arts and those who are engaged in literature, can be called a scholar."
"But there are only so many aristocratic families, but there are tens of thousands of ordinary people in this world. Mr. Cen, do you feel lonely if the policy continues to be implemented?"
"Will all the scholars in the world be happy?"
Mr. Cen suddenly turned blue and said nothing.
Next to them, Cen Qianzhong also vaguely realized that the matter was more serious than they thought.
I originally thought that the solution to this matter was just to continue arguing with Zhao Jin and delay it, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
Zhao Jin is right when he says that the most scholars in the world are those from poor families.
When the time comes, it will not be Zhao Jin who will cause public outrage, but them.
Realizing this, Cen Qianzhong's hands trembled, his pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly looked at Zhao Jin.
"Mr. Cen, your family always wants to continue for thousands of years, but where can there be a family that has been prosperous for thousands of years?"
Zhao Jin's tone softened a little, "Taking a step back, do you really think that the current scientific examination system is a good thing for the children of aristocratic families?"
"Eighty percent of local officials come from aristocratic families. With so many recommended places, 80% of the children of aristocratic families can directly participate in the examination without going through layers of examination selection."
"What does this mean? It means that the aristocratic families only need to compete with the aristocratic families. The competition is gentle and there is no external pressure."
Zhao Jin said every word: "Without competition, this scientific examination is a pool of stagnant water, or in other words, the current aristocratic family is a pool of stagnant water."
"Because they can get what they want without much effort."
Zhao Jin slowly picked up the tea cup and said, "How many outstanding talents can there be in such an environment?"
Mr. Cen's hand holding the cane curled up slightly, his face dark and unclear.
