"However, it seems inappropriate to establish an Information Department, make it responsible for all matters related to the imperial examination, and place it under the Ministry of Rites."

"This will not only cause the Ministry of Rites to become bloated, but also create a large number of unnecessary official positions, which will waste money on the national treasury."

"His Majesty once said that the candidates for the imperial examination this year and in the future will not be selected by the Ministry of Personnel. Some officials in the Ministry of Personnel do not know how to arrange them."

"Therefore, Wei Chen believes that the Information Department should be managed under the Ministry of Personnel."

Although Changsun Wuji agreed, he really didn't want the established Information Department to belong to the Ministry of Rites.

Originally, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was a very popular department, because all candidates for the imperial examination had to be selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs before they could enter the officialdom.

Since Yang Fan proposed a series of reforms in the imperial examination, the power of the civil servants has been greatly reduced.

Now that the Information Department in charge of the imperial examinations is still under the Ministry of Rites, of course Changsun Wuji will quit.

If we can strive to incorporate the Information Department into the Ministry of Civil Affairs, we can not only replenish the lost rights, but also go one step further.

As a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, his power will naturally increase a lot.

All in all, Changsun Wuji just didn't want to see Yang Fan become a big man.

On the other hand, it is imperative to establish an Information Department, and if a separate Information Department is established, all the officials employed in it will definitely exclude people from aristocratic families who have different intentions.

If we can firmly control people like the Information Department, it will definitely be a big help.

Unfortunately, Changsun Wuji's wishful thinking was quickly shattered.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "I can understand the auxiliary officer's desire to do his best for students all over the world. Unfortunately, I have already decided on the candidates for the Information Department officials."

"Now the Information Department will be in charge of Kong Yingda, and it is also approved by Kong Yingda that it will be managed by the Ministry of Rites."

"If the auxiliary machine can persuade Kong Yingda to voluntarily submit to the management of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I will agree. Of course, this requires the auxiliary machine to go and explain the situation to Kong Yingda himself."

His Majesty Li Er was so good at Tai Chi that he immediately pushed the problem to Changsun Wuji.

The meaning is obvious. I can't persuade Kong Yingda. As long as your eldest son Wuji can make Kong Yingda voluntarily join the management of your staff, I have nothing to say.

These words made Changsun Wuji extremely depressed.

Asking him to persuade Kong Yingda is asking for trouble, isn't it?

Although Kong Yingda's official position is not high, he is famous among others. If he tried to coerce or induce him, Kong Yingda would not tolerate him at all!

I can only sigh in my heart, Yang Fan is so lucky!

Why do you always blame that bastard for good things? It really makes people mad.

Changsun Wuji, who knew that there was nothing he could do, could only do it.

However, this painless confrontation also allowed the ministers of the DPRK and China to see His Majesty Li Er's love for Yang Fan.

Finally, with the endorsement of His Majesty Li Er and the strong support of Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and various ministers, His Majesty Li Er's proposal was successfully passed.

The Information Department was formally established, and even the person in charge was determined. It was also responsible for the printing of imperial examination books and all matters related to the imperial examination.

The heads of several departments were here, and the process went very quickly. The decree was posted in the form of a royal list on the same day.

As soon as this news came out, it spread quickly like the air was on fire.

The members of the aristocratic family have great supernatural powers. They learned the news immediately and almost burst their lungs with anger.

His Majesty Li Er's move is too cruel!

It can be said to be a drain on the family. If it is promoted for more than ten to twenty years, the advantages of the family will be gone.

This move is simply a desperate plan!

How could the children of the aristocratic family, who usually stand aloof and have their eyes above their heads, tolerate being on equal footing with a bunch of idiots?

As a result, these aristocratic families once again gathered in Cui Mansion to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, the study room of Cui Mansion looked particularly strange. After Cui Yonghui, who was in charge, looked around for a week, he gritted his teeth and said: "His Majesty Li Er is too insidious and vicious. This is obviously going to put our family to death."

Immediately, Lu Benwei, who was the first to be hit this time, sighed: "Yes! This policy is extremely vicious. It is simply driving our family to death. Today, not a single book in my shop can be sold. Everyone is waiting.

What should I do about the half-price book issued by the imperial court?"

Wang Lun also continued: "If you just lose some money, it's nothing. Think about it, if the court keeps selling books and paper, pens, inkstones at such a price, in a few years, a large number of idiots will surely come to the fore.

They are the biggest threat to us, and we need to find a way to solve them quickly."

Hearing this, the study suddenly became silent again.

We are not stupid people, and of course we can understand the impact of this policy on aristocratic families.

Although for now, their family still has an absolute advantage.

But in ten or twenty years, this advantage will inevitably disappear, and this is what worries them the most.

After a while, Zheng Kai said: "Actually, although this kind of policy cannot be blatantly confrontational, it is not impossible to deal with it."

"In the court, the emperor can speak the truth and speak his mind, but he can't control the market, can he?"

"In local areas, whether it's Chang'an City or other places, people from our family have the final say!"

"As long as we unite to intervene, it is ridiculous for the imperial court to want to sell imperial examination books to ordinary people."

"As long as we work together, there is no way that books, paper, pens, inkstones, will fall into the hands of those mud-legged people."

Lu Benwei raised his head, frowned and asked, "What does Brother Zheng mean by this?"

"Now the imperial court has established an Information Department to be responsible for all matters related to the reform of the imperial examination. Whether it is the books used for the imperial examination, or the paper, pen, ink and inkstone, etc., the imperial court price will be lower than the current market price."

"If we openly challenge the imperial court, wouldn't it be tantamount to openly falling out with His Majesty Li Er?"

"Although our family has been fighting openly and secretly with the emperor, there has never been an overt confrontation."

"If His Majesty Li Er is allowed to find an excuse, once the emperor jumps over the wall in a hurry, the consequences will be difficult to estimate?"

Lu Benwei's words caused everyone from the aristocratic families present to fall into silence.

This kind of policy is simply a conspiracy, because it has gained a popular base, and if the family dares to risk the disapproval of the world, it will definitely be despised.

His Majesty Li Er's move was so cruel that the family didn't know how to resist.

Wang Lun said with a gloomy face: "I don't know who came up with this insidious strategy."

"As far as I know, although the emperor wants to weaken the family, he has no way to do it. It doesn't seem like the emperor's idea to do this now."

"After all, if the emperor had come up with it, it should have been implemented long ago. Why tolerate it until now?"

Cui Yonghui's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said viciously: "According to the spies, 90% of this method of targeting the aristocratic family was proposed by that nasty guy Yang Fan."

"That bastard is full of bad ideas. He doesn't have much, but he has a lot of bad ideas."

"It is said that the person who suggested to the emperor that there were loopholes in the imperial examination was most likely his."

In fact, I don't have a deep understanding of Yang Fan and other members of the aristocratic family, because they don't have any entanglements.

But the Cui family is completely different, because Cui Yonghui's younger brother Cui Yongjian died indirectly in the hands of Yang Fan.uuReading www.uukanshu.com

The reason why the Cui family initially focused on Yang Fan was entirely because of the glass production technology.

In order to obtain the glaze production technology, the Cui family did not hesitate to use the Wu brothers to set up a scheme against the Zhongyi Hou Mansion. Now they are always thinking about the various industries of the Hou Mansion...

But I didn't expect that the agency's calculations were too clever and cost Qing Qing's life. In the end, the Cui family suffered a setback and lost their third son, Cui Yongjian.

After the loss of Cui Yongjian, the Cui family completely paid attention to Yang Fan and began to investigate Yang Fan thoroughly.

If you don't investigate, you won't know. This investigation allowed the Cui family to discover the horror of Yang Fan.

There are thousands of guards in Junyangfang, all of whom are private soldiers of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion.

Moreover, every time the emperor had a problem, he would always turn to Yang Fan for help immediately, which shows how favored he was and also reflected Yang Fan's intelligence and agility.

Seeing doubts in the eyes of several other people, Cui Yonghui described the investigation in detail.

Although there are many things that the Cui family has never investigated, even the tip of the iceberg made several children of the aristocratic families present take a breath.

Shaking his head, Zheng Kai quickly calmed down: "As Brother Cui said, that Zhongyi Marquis is simply a scourge and has an sworn hatred against our family."

Lu Benwei nodded and said: "Yes, judging from Yang Fan's attitude towards the family, he is simply the enemy of our family. It is so hateful!"

Cui Yonghui raised his head and said firmly: "I'm sure, everything is caused by that guy Yang Fan. If this guy doesn't die, our family will never have peace!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.
