Yun Chi proposed that Prince Shiyi and Xia Ze join the Hanlin Academy. If everyone agreed, this would not only open the precedent for exceptional admissions into the Hanlin Academy, but also set a precedent for exceptional admissions into the three provincial administrations and six ministries of the court.
This simply could not be easily broken.
Even Lu Zhiling and Su Zizhan were taken aback, as they had not heard anything about this from Yun Chi beforehand.
Exchanging glances, even though they didn't understand the intentions behind Yun Chi's move, they still had to support him. Yun Chi wanted to reform the court, so naturally, he had to start by tearing open an entry point. The court needed new blood, and a large influx of newly minted scholars had to be integrated. So, how could they start without tearing an opening? Simply beheading or dismissing a few old officials was not enough to rejuvenate the court.
