"The Emperor is truly formidable, coming up with the imperial examinations as a way to deal with the noble families." Anyone with a bit of wit knows how powerful and remarkable the imperial examinations are. "Now, whether from noble families or poor households, as long as one studies, they can partake in the imperial examinations. If they are talented, they can stand out in the exams and become officials. This is a brilliant strategy that kills two birds with one stone."
"The real strength of the imperial examinations lies in breaking the monopoly of the noble families on officialdom, thus influencing the court," Prince Wei said with a smile. "Of course, it also affects the status of the noble families. As long as the examinations continue, the position and influence of the noble families will weaken, and scholars from humble beginnings will change their destinies through the exams, becoming a new force, a force capable of opposing the noble families."
