Beri straight in the face.This kick, Li Chen used the maximum force with anger. Only to see Sun Boli let out a miserable cry, his whole body was kicked over like a horse rolling over, his nose bridge...Chapter 860: Appointment

To deal with clans and families is as difficult as reaching the heavens.

The difficulty of this matter far exceeds toppling Zhao Xuanji or even disarming the vassal states.

Because the first two are just an individual or a certain force, it's not difficult.

But when facing the powerful clans and aristocratic families, Li Chen would be met with resistance from all over the world.

This is the confrontation between the imperial court and local forces. Throughout history, emperors who inherited their position through hereditary succession have almost never succeeded.

Only an emperor who founded a dynasty, after thoroughly purging all remnants and forces of the previous regime and restructuring the entire society's resources to rebuild the nation, would have the capability and prestige to achieve this. This involves a redistribution of social resources and power.

It's simply a matter of removing the old clans and families and replacing them with new ones.

In a hundred years, things will be the same.

The cycle of heaven dictates that, in order to permanently eliminate the issue, we must fundamentally dismantle the institutional foundation upon which these clans and aristocratic families thrive.

But it is easier said than done.

Fuk Minqing and the other two also knew that this topic was too big, beyond their ability to handle at the moment, so they could only remain silent.

Li Chen temporarily put aside the thoughts in his mind. Dealing with the clan and aristocratic families, not to mention him now, even if he ascended the throne in a few years, he would not think of moving these people.

Otherwise, heaven and earth will truly collapse.

So, for now, we can only put it aside and gradually change the social system like boiling a frog in warm water.

Li Chen believes that with his thousands of years of historical experience, he has ways to deal with these natives and make them unknowingly lose their grounds for survival.

At that time, they could be completely swept into the dustbin of history.

Thinking of this, Li Chen looked up at Fu Minqing and said, "Fu Minqing, accept the imperial decree."

Fu Minqing's heart pounded upon hearing this. He strained his face to appear calm and serious, hoping to leave a trustworthy impression on His Royal Highness. With a sweep of his robe, he knelt with both knees on the ground, bringing his forehead to meet the earth.

Li Chen raised his hand, Wan Jiaojiao immediately handed him the cinnabar pen and laid out a blank yellow silk imperial edict with a golden dragon.

Thinking about it, Li Chen began to write and speak at the same time.

By imperial mandate, Given that the country's Mandate of Heaven is flourishing and the Emperor bestows grace upon his people, in the spring of the twenty-first year of this reign, Jiangzhe scholar Fu Minqing has excelled in the Imperial Examinations. He stands first among all candidates, thus deserving public announcement and universal celebration.

"Now, I appoint Fu Minqing as a Langzhong (Junior Minister) of the Ministry of Personnel's Bureau of Selection and Appointment, with the rank of Zhengwu (Senior Fifth Rank). He is also granted the title of Doctor from the Imperial Academy.I sincerely hope that you, dear minister, will not disappoint the imperial grace and repay the country with your talents and knowledge, and the society with your character. I encourage and inspire you to strive for excellence."

The arrangement of Fú Mǐnqīng's position is finally settled.

Originally, the top three scholars from each imperial examination would be sent to the Hanlin Academy for several years of refinement.

On one hand, it allows them to become familiar with the rhythm of officialdom. On the other hand, most positions in the central government are filled, and vacancies are rare. Even if there are any, there are usually deputy officials queuing up to take over.

And a top scholar, in essence, is just a young man with no political experience whatsoever. Without years of hard work and tempering, he simply cannot become capable.

But now, Li Chen directly gave Fu Minqing a real position, and it was the top position in the Personnel Department's Qingli Si. Although his rank wasn't high, it was a powerful and lucrative position.

Although the three of them didn't quite understand what a royal academy doctor was, just the title of Qingli Si Langzhong, an official position within the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was enough to make their mouths water.l features, figure, and skin have reached the pinnacle of perfection, it all boils down to her aura.Can temperament be good or badZhao Qinglan's nobility, the holy maiden's coldness, Su Jinpa's elegan...
