Chapter 647

Scolding is scolding.

Li Er could not turn against the aristocratic families.

He had already figured this matter out.

Great Qin had a relatively hostile attitude toward these aristocratic families. Because of this, the power of the aristocratic families had no way to develop within Great Qin's territory.

Of course, the aristocratic families would not give up.

Therefore, they took advantage of the Great Qin imperial examination to send a large number of their clan's children to participate.

Wanting to use this to enter Great Qin's officialdom.

As a result, with one order from Qin Mu, they were all thrown to the Western Regions.

Great Tang is different.

The Great Tang imperial court still has to rely on aristocratic families for many things.

It is impossible to completely imitate Great Qin and do it so thoroughly and cleanly.

"Du Ruhui, for this imperial examination, you will be the chief examiner; you must ensure fairness and justice!"

As long as fairness can be achieved, everyone's emotions can be taken care of.

In terms of the knowledge of scholars, the education received by aristocratic children is still better, and their knowledge is also broader than that of students from humble backgrounds.

Fairness is the best threshold.

"Your subject obeys the decree!"

Du Ruhui took over this hot potato.

As the Emperor's right-hand man, when necessary, he naturally has to stand up and take responsibility.

However, he couldn't take it for nothing.

"Your Majesty, I have one request."

Li Er knew that such a heavy burden had been handed to Du Ruhui. He must give him some benefits.

In the Great Tang imperial examination, even if one acts fairly, one will definitely offend many people.

Du Ruhui daring to accept the decree was a great help to the imperial court.

Of course, he couldn't be treated unfairly.

"What is it? Just say it."

Du Ruhui pursed his lips.

Although he was a bit embarrassed, he still said it.

"Your Majesty, the foundation of my Du family was originally in Chang'an. Qin Mu used some despicable means to take all the shops of my Du family in the East and West Markets as his own!"

"My Du family recognizes these losses. But I hope Your Majesty will grant permission to let my Du family manage the business in Siam!"

These words caused the imperial court to explode instantly.

Many people expressed dissatisfaction with Du Ruhui.

"Du Ruhui, the shops in the East and West Markets were taken; it's not just your Du family that suffered. Why should you monopolize the business in Siam?"

"You want a reward for doing things; is this how you, Du Ruhui, are loyal to the monarch and love the country?"

"No, our Wei family also wants a share of the business in Siam!"
