Xuanjizi shivered, his pupils filled with fear: "Your Majesty, do you truly intend to follow Xu Wendong's advice?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Under no circumstances!"
"Implementing the Examination System is fraught with difficulties. It would shake the very foundation of our Blackwater Kingdom, and a single misstep could lead us to ruin!"
He agreed with Xu Wendong's suggestions on healthcare, elderly care, taxation, and even setting up schools for the common people's children.
These ideas would indeed improve the state of Blackwater Kingdom, allowing the common people to live better lives.
However.
If the Examination System were adopted, it would certainly face much opposition.
Fan Liang walked outside the hall, gazing at the vast night sky, sighed softly: "My whole life, I've been following my ancestors' opinions, treading carefully while sitting on the throne."
"Though I am the Monarch of Blackwater Kingdom."
