Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

"Miss, come with us..."

The palace maids and eunuchs took Mumu to Baihua Pavilion.

The Hundred Flowers Pavilion is very large and delicately arranged, which fully shows the dignity of the royal family. All the palace maids and eunuchs encountered along the way, when they see Mu Mu, will respectfully salute and call the maiden.

Mumu only felt her heart beating faster, as if the emperor's words made her soar into the sky and become one of the masters in this harem...

"he..."

"He said just now that he has time to see me..."

Mumu suddenly thought of what Li Si said last.

Just as Mumu was thinking about it, a eunuch walked in quickly.

"Miss, please come with me."

"The Queen Mother wants to see you..."

As soon as the eunuch's words fell, Mumu was completely stunned.

She could never have imagined that Tangtang, the empress dowager of the dynasty, would actually want to see her?

You must know that the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother. Although she has no official position, she is the most honorable woman in the world...

The Empress Dowager lived in Yong'an Palace all the year round. Even those first-rank officials in the court were not able to see her. Mumu was originally a gardener in the imperial garden, and she was even less qualified to meet the Empress Dowager.

But now, the queen mother asked her to go to Yongan Palace by name...

For a time, Mumu's mind went blank, and he subconsciously followed the eunuch to the place where the queen mother lived.

Yongan Palace.

The queen mother sat on the main seat.

"Are you the beauty newly conferred by Your Majesty?"

The queen mother looked at Mumu carefully.

In fact, as the Empress, there is absolutely no need to meet a 'beautiful'...

But Mumu is different.

She was the first beauty to be conferred by the emperor.

The queen mother was still worried before, the emperor seemed to have no interest in Na Fei.

However, because the draft was screwed up, the queen mother was embarrassed to organize another draft.

Just be so anxious.

But now, the emperor has begun to accept concubines...

Although only a beauty, not a royal concubine or something.

But the Queen Mother believed that this was the beginning.

Thinking of this, the queen mother looked more and more pleasing to Mumu's eyes.

If it wasn't for Mumu, the emperor didn't know how long it would take until he thought of Na Fei...

"In front of Ai's family, don't be nervous. Since His Majesty canonized you as a beauty, you and Ai's family will be a family from now on."

The empress dowager said with a pleasant tone.

"Mummy, have you served Your Majesty?"

The queen mother asked quietly.

"The Queen Mother, I...I didn't..."

Mumuqiao blushed.

Of course, she knew what the Queen Mother meant by serving.

"No..."

The queen mother was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it either.

"Come here, teach Mu Meiren some common sense in the palace."

As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, several Yongan Palace ladies came out and led Mumu out.

At first, Mumu thought that the common sense in the palace in the mouth of the queen mother was some etiquette...

But after the female officer began to teach, Mu Mu found that these common sense were things that made her face red.

...

Li Si returned to the Hall of Longevity and continued to review the memorials.

As an emperor, one must be diligent in administration, which is also the bottom line Li Si has set for himself.

Just as Li Si was reviewing the memorial, the eunuch who was close to him walked in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites is asking to see you outside the hall."

"Xuan!"

The Minister of Rites entered the Hall of Longevity: "I have seen Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

Li Si closed the memorial and looked at the Minister of Rites.

"Report to Your Majesty, the imperial examination is imminent, please select the chief examiner to preside over this imperial examination!"

The Minister of Rites respectfully said.

The Datang Imperial Examinations are held in installments every year to elect a large number of talents for Datang.

However, in Li Si's view, the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty had a great degree of drawbacks.

The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty was managed by the chief examiner.

This led to the fact that all the candidates for the imperial examination were assigned to this chief examiner.

These candidates claimed to be the disciples of the chief examiner.

As a result, when these candidates enter the officialdom, they will naturally be assigned to the examiner's faction.

In this way, on the court, it is inevitable that some teacher's nepotism will appear...

These officials who have the relationship between teachers and families form gangs with each other in the officialdom, and the officials and officials protect each other, treating the officialdom as their own private land.

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair, his brows furrowed.

He allowed the officials to fight with each other.

Because, no emperor wants to see that the ministers share the same hatred and love each other.

But the premise of the struggle is to put Datang's interests at the forefront.

Instead of abandoning the interests of Datang for their own selfish interests.

For example, Yuan Zai, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, took advantage of the emperor's trust in him to cover the sky in the courtroom.

He took bribes in private, and repeatedly used his status as the examiner of the imperial examinations to pull countless candidates into his faction.

After a long time, the entire court was filled with the prime minister's faction. Whatever the prime minister said, that was what it was.

As for the emperor...

The words of the emperor are not as important as the prime minister.

Li Si looked gloomy.

Although, in the current court, under his several purges, the so-called factions have long since dispersed.

All the ministers above the court are in danger, and they are deeply afraid that the emperor's sword will fall on them the next moment, and there is no time to run a faction.

But Li Si knew that the origin of factions in the court was the imperial examination system.

As long as the imperial examination system is not changed, the hidden dangers of factions will always exist, and there will always be a resurgence one day.

However, the imperial examination system is a system that provides talents and fresh blood for Datang, and it must not be abolished.

How to resolve faction disputes?

Li Si suddenly thought of the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty.

The imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty basically continued the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, with only some minor changes.

The imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty had no chief examiner.

Candidates need to pass the solution test, the provincial test and the palace test.

The answering test is carried out by various places. Those who pass the answering test can enter Beijing to participate in the provincial test. After passing the provincial test, all candidates need to participate in the palace test.

The palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, and the ranking was also determined by the emperor. In this way, the final jinshi who passed the palace examination were all the disciples of the emperor, not the examiner.

In this way, the emperor's control over court officials was greatly strengthened.

Since then, the officials of the court are all disciples of the Son of Heaven, and the so-called factional disputes have been disintegrated from the root.

After all, everyone is under the emperor's sect and belongs to the same faction. Even if they want to fight, they are fighting for the emperor's interests.

"The imperial examination system..."

Li Si stood up and felt a little emotion in his heart.

"The Minister of Rites!"

Li Si's words changed.

"The minister is here!"

The Minister of Rites said bluntly that since he mentioned the matter of the examiner, His Majesty has not spoken, which made the Minister of Rites speculate uneasy.

Li Si pondered for a moment, then continued: "Pass on my will, in the future imperial examinations, the chief examiner system will be cancelled, and a palace examination will be added, and the palace examination will be presided over by myself!"

After listening to the Minister of Rites, his expression changed slightly.

"The Minister of Rites!"

Li Si looked at the Minister of Rites and said, "You shouldn't disappoint me, right?"

"This minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations, and I will definitely implement His Majesty's will in the imperial examinations as soon as possible!"

The Minister of Rites was sweating coldly and said quickly.
