After speaking all at once, Chen Qun sighed: "The biggest reason why our family has been able to exist for a hundred years, or even a thousand years, is that it is tied to the imperial power."

"We risk our lives to serve our country and thus preserve the prosperity of our family."

"But Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others actually want to dig up our roots and introduce a bullshit imperial examination system. Isn't this just making things difficult for us?"

"Isn't this irresponsible to His Majesty, the court, and the empire?"

"Those poor children have no vision, are greedy, and have no vision. How can they lend a helping hand to Your Majesty and help Your Majesty create a prosperous era?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Zheng Hun echoed, "People are divided into different classes."

"Your Majesty's son will be the emperor in the future, and so will his grandson. This will never change. Our family is under the imperial power, so it is natural for us to do the same."

"But now the imperial examination system is trying to take official positions from us. If we really let them gain a foothold, their ambitions will swell, and they may even covet the throne in the future."

"As loyal officials of the imperial court, how can we just stand by and watch the bad policies without doing anything?"

"We must stand up and speak for the world's aristocratic families."

Zhen Yi frowned and his face turned cold: "Nonsense, nonsense!"

"Who says our family is useless and cannot compare to those poor children?"

"The lord is from the Xiao family. He conquered the nine provinces in two years. He completely wiped out the Wuhuan and Xiongnu in the north. The Wuhuan and Xiongnu people were killed and moved south overnight. They dared not say anything."

"In the west, the Western Regions were pacified, and the Qiang people prostrated themselves on the ground one by one, not daring to say anything."

"My lord, you can rival the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and even be compared to the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor. How can those poor children have such ability?"

"What's the point of saying that children from aristocratic families are not as good as children from poor families? This is just nonsense."

Chen Qun, Zheng Hun's eyes flashed with a smile, and then he solemnly agreed: "Who said it wasn't! These people are talking nonsense to gain a good reputation among the people. They say that the children of poor families can save the world and make the empire prosperous. In fact, most of them are greedy and short-sighted."

"If we really allow these people to sit in the court, we will be sorry to His Majesty and the people."

"So, we have to stand up."

Zhen Yi nodded heavily: "That's right, we have to stand up, this system cannot be implemented throughout the country."

"But we are against this selection system. What system should we use as a replacement?"

"We can't just keep the previous system of selecting filial and honest people, right?"

"The Han Empire just fell. How can we still use the previous selection system?"

Chen Qun's eyes lit up and he lowered his voice: "It's actually very simple."

"I do have an idea."

"Oh?"

"But it doesn't matter!"

Chen Qun said: "The people of the world are divided into nine grades according to the prominence of their family, their talent, and their moral character: top-top, top-middle, and bottom-bottom."

"People of the highest quality and excellence can serve as officials and rulers, and can serve the world."

"The lower-ranking officials can also use their own skills to serve the court and appease the people."

"In this way, everyone can be useful and contribute to the court. Wouldn't the world be peaceful and the country prosperous?" Zheng Hun clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful!"

"Brother Zhen, Brother Chen, I am a rough man, I don't know much."

"I only understand that I should contribute to the world, and that our descendants will still have the opportunity to serve the empire and bring peace to the people."

"Therefore, the Nine-Rank System will surely be supported and praised by everyone in the world, and it will also gain the support of powerful people in various places."

"Isn't it a sign of a prosperous era when the government is stable and the people are harmonious?"

Zhen Yi frowned slightly and was silent for a long time: "Nine-Rank System, will this happen?"

Chen Qun smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, your Zhen family is definitely the best and no one can compare to it."

"This division is not just based on the family's previous reputation, but on the present."

"Therefore, the Zhen family will surely exist forever and prosper forever, just like the empire."

Zhen Yi showed a soothing smile on his face: "So that's why you support my Zhen family and hope that my daughter will be the queen, so that future policies can be better implemented?"

Chen Qun said: "This is just one of the reasons."

"The biggest reason is that only the Zhen family can match a saint like you who only appears once in a thousand years."

"Only in this way can the empire be more peaceful, without too much friction, and achieve political stability and harmony among the people."

Zhen Yi paced back and forth, considering whether this matter would succeed or not.

After a while, he nodded heavily: "I will consider your words and do my best."

"But no one can be sure what the situation is."

"After all, the decision on this matter still lies with Your Majesty."

"In fact, if you are not in a hurry, it won't be too late to talk about it after the position of Queen is decided."

"only."

Chen Qun, Zheng Hun sighed: "Who said it wasn't?"

"But Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others don't give us time!"

"They are very aggressive. Just two days ago, they were giving advice to the Lord on Longmen Mountain."

Zhen Yi hesitated: "Can't we talk to these two people?"

"I heard that they also come from a small family. Why are they standing against the aristocratic family?"

Chen Qun, Zheng Hun smiled bitterly and said, "How could we not have met before? But we only met once, and we just ate and drank, and didn't say anything serious."

"Now I can only rely on Brother Zhen!"

Zhen Yi nodded: "Well, I'll go meet these two people. If I can solve the problem down there, I can talk to the lord about it!"

"Thank you for your generosity, Master Zhen. We are waiting for your good news."
