Chapter 206: Newlywed Yan'er

The Han Emperor re-colored the country,

Yuyu has been asking for it for many years.

The Yang family has a girl who has just grown up,

Raised in the deep boudoir people do not know.

It's hard to give up on being born beautiful,

Once chosen on the king's side.

Looking back and smiling,

The six palaces have no color.

Spring cold bath Huaqing pool,

Hot spring water slippery wash cream.

The waiter lifted up the delicate and weak,

The beginning is the time of new grace.

Cloud sideburns and flowers and golden steps,

The hibiscus tent warms up the spring night.

The spring night is bitter and the day is short,

From then on, the king did not come to an early dynasty.

This is Bai Juyi's long-term hatred song, which is written about the story of Xuanzong and Yang Guifei.

Yang Yuhuan is the first beauty of the Tang Dynasty, she is the pride of the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has created her.

Also in the Tang Palace, the spring night in the Lizheng Palace was short, but Li Ji did not become a king from then on.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that the times don't allow it.

The warm fragrant nephrite is in her arms, and Li Ji is still in a dream. Zhang Wanxi in her sleep is very beautiful, with a small nose under her long eyelashes and tender red lips.

The red belly pocket is not a dragon and a phoenix, but a pair of mandarin ducks. This is what she personally showed, she wants to be a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water with Li Ji, not envy to be a queen.

Last night's grace had made her sleep deeply, and the corners of her mouth were filled with sweet happiness. For her, she never cared about being a queen, Li Ji was all she had.

Suddenly, Li Ji made a decision not to accept the concubine. In this life, I will only marry you, and I will take three thousand weak water, and I will take one scoop to drink.

Li Ji has seen a lot of crossings, and the protagonists in it are all three wives and four concubines to be Dumas. He is the emperor, needless to say. But he really only has Zhang Wanxi in his heart at the moment, and he will never fail her in this life.

Li Ji, who is immersed in love, really only has this one idea, how can he say that he has no clothes and is in the same robe with his son. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son.

No matter the ups and downs of this life, or the glory of wealth and glory, I, Li Ji, will depend on you for life and death.

The hearts of the two of us have been imprinted together, as if we were in war, and we wore the same robe. In this life, I will hold your hand and stay with you until I grow old.

Zhang Wanxi was still asleep, and she hugged Li Ji very tightly, as if she was afraid that he would fly away from her.

Zhang Wanxi is like a child, she likes to hug Li Ji in her sleep. With her head buried in his arms, she could feel Li Ji's broad chest, and only then would she feel at ease.

Li Ji couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her deeply on the forehead, he really wanted to be a faint gentleman and indulge in wine with Zhang Wanxi in the harem.

But the current Tang Dynasty is shattered, and he must be a saint who is proud of the world. Only in this way can he protect her.

Li Ji gently pushed her arm away, for fear of waking her up. Li Ji didn't call the palace maid to change her clothes, in fact, the verbal edict he gave last night, whoever dared to take a step closer to the Lizheng Palace, no matter how much he killed, no one dared to step forward.

Li Ji got up quietly, put on his dragon robe, and then got up quietly.

Zhang Wanxi, who was asleep, only felt that her arms were empty, and then she woke up suddenly, and Li Ji woke her up after all.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Wanxi screamed softly, with infinite tenderness on her face.

Li Ji smiled slightly, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "It's still early, you go to sleep quickly, I still have to go to the morning court."

Zhang Wanxi shook her head: "No, I'm not sleepy." In fact, she wanted to say that I couldn't sleep without you, but she didn't say it after all.

Li Ji probably understood what she meant: "Well, come on!"

A few palace maids walked in gently.

"Serve the queen and change her clothes." Li Ji said while fastening his clothes, "I will be back soon."

Zhang Wanxi smiled sweetly: "It's cold outside, Your Majesty be careful of catching a cold."

Li Ji nodded, and when he left the Lizheng Palace, Youwei and Fuquan were waiting in front of the imperial sedan chair with the palace lamp in their hands.

"Go to Hanyuan Palace, go to the court." Li Ji spoke.

The royal sedan chair was raised, and there was a left and a right follow.

The ancients did not have any nightlife, they were all masters who went to bed early and got up early, and the Hanyuan Palace Dynasty began.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how are the preparations for this imperial examination?" Li Ji is most concerned about this matter at the moment.

The imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty was still in the initial stage, and the system was not perfect, so it was difficult to say that it was fair.

First of all, the quota for the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was biased towards the capital. This is a good thing, because some feudal towns run their own imperial examinations, but they still take pride in the fact that their own people can achieve fame in the imperial examinations of the central government.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there were more and more people who were born in the imperial examination, and due to the continuous war, the people were miserable, and they lost their favor towards the soldiers, and turned to support those who succeeded in the imperial examination.

The Tang Dynasty was at the juncture of the transfer from the aristocratic generation to the commoner generation, and the first half of the Tang Dynasty society was still very aristocratic, and the influence of the aristocracy even surpassed that of the royal family, so there were too many talents selected by the imperial examination and they could not be appointed.

Since Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been cracking down on the wealthy and encouraging the selection of the imperial examination, but in the end of the Tang Dynasty, there are very few examples of commoners becoming prime ministers because of the imperial examination, which is very different from the Song Dynasty Zaifu must be selected from the imperial examination.

This is thanks to Zhu Wen, the war for many years has dealt a very big blow to the wealthy nobles. Especially Zhu Wen, he almost ended the gate valve system.

This allowed more civilians to get the opportunity to be promoted through the imperial examination, so Li Ji seized this opportunity.

Kong Lin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the officials of all ministries are ready, just waiting for the exam."

Li Ji nodded: "Very good, this scientific expedition must be taken seriously." In the future, the selection of officials in various ministries, from the top to the state and county, must have a scientific background. Those who are recommended by officials must also be examined by the Ministry of Rites, and those who pass the answers can be hired. ”

"Obey the order!" The Ministry of Rites stood up and replied.

"This imperial examination, I am the only one who can use it. Those who have virtue and ability will not be buried. The vacancies of officials in various prefectures and counties, as well as the vacancies in various departments of the imperial court, must be filled one by one. ”

Dugu Yu stood up: "Your Majesty, many tributes are recommended by various feudal towns, how to deal with these people?"

This is a difficult problem, and the tributes recommended by those feudal towns are inevitably not spies sent by the feudal king. It is debatable whether to place them in an idle position or a full-time position.

Li Ji thought for a moment: "What do you Aiqing think?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that important positions cannot be conferred." Yu Shi Cui Yuan objected.

"The minister also thinks it's inappropriate, the feudal town and township tribute, his heart will be different."

"That is, the vassal kings are two-faced and three-stabbed, how can the township tribute rest assured."

Many of the ministers followed suit, and they all felt that the candidates on the imperial court should be reused.

Pei Shu disagreed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it may not be."

Finally there was a different voice, Li Ji was very interested: "Oh, let's hear it."

Pei Shu then stood up, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the township tributes are also all tributes from the townships from all over the country. The imperial court should treat everyone equally, and cannot be treated differently because it is a feudal town, so doesn't it chill the hearts of the world's scholars? ”

"Master Pei, what should I do if this township tribute is a fine work sent by the vassal king to endanger my Tang Dynasty?" Zhang Fakui asked.

Pei Shu ignored him, but said to Li Ji: "Your Majesty, Gongsheng is an official for all departments of the imperial court. They are also all students who have passed the township examination, and even if they are sent by the vassal king, they should not be treated differently. In addition, candidates are engaged in politics rather than the military, and departments such as the Ministry of War, the Ordnance Supervisor, and the Gunpowder Workshop can abandon the use of township tribute candidates. Even if it is a feudal king's fine work, it has no effect on entering it in other departments. ”

What Pei Shu said is not wrong, the imperial court is just a palm-sized land, and other feudal towns are not reused by candidates, which is unfair to the students.

Even if these candidates had feudal kings among them, as long as they were not allowed to enter departments such as the military department, the ordnance superintendent, and the gunpowder workshop, they would be of little use to the feudal king.

As soon as these words came out, no one in the group objected.

"Okay, I'll do what Pei Shu said. Officials selected for the imperial examination regardless of their origin or region. To take the talent, February 16, the Beijing division of the exam! ”

The Tang Imperial Examination is different from the triennial examination of future generations, but an annual examination. Generally, the examination will be announced in the autumn and will be held in February of the following year.

Many students from all over the world heard that the capital was prosperous and admired Tianyan, and they had already gathered in Luoyang City, just waiting for the exam to start in February.

Li Ji has already ordered that the test questions be appropriately relaxed, because due to the scarcity of officials in various places, many prefectures and counties have one person holding two or even several positions. Only by opening up the imperial examination can we select and promote talents from all over the country.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Ji rushed impatiently to the Lizheng Palace. The newlywed Yan'er is like glue, and he can't wait to see Zhang Wanxi.

Breakfast has been prepared, and Li Ji and Zhang Wanxi eat together.

The dishes are paid by the glass greenhouse, and the Shangshi Bureau is dedicated to Zhuge Kongfang. This Zhuge Kong Fang has won the true biography of Li Ji, and he is quite good at stir-frying. Some of the dishes created are even praised by Li Ji.

The invention of iron pot stir-frying has gradually penetrated into thousands of households. Especially in the upper class, people finally discovered that stir-fried food was so delicious.

Zhang Wanxi loves sweets, and Li Ji ordered someone to boil a bowl of white sugar lotus seed soup.

"Queen, after eating, follow me to Jishan Palace to meet the Queen Mother." Li Ji did not let the palace maid do it, but personally served it to Zhang Wanxi.

"The concubine hasn't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, and she is very worried, I don't know if the Queen Mother is in good health?" Zhang Wanxi was very grateful to the Empress Dowager He, and it was the Empress Dowager who took her from Zhu Wen in the first place.

Li Ji smiled: "The Queen Mother is very good, and she often praises you in front of me."

Zhang Wanxi's face turned slightly red: "Praise, what are you praising me?"

"Praise you for being knowledgeable and beautiful."

"How can a concubine be so good."

"You're the best in my eyes."

“……”

In Jishan Palace, Empress Dowager He was holding a magnifying glass and was studying a pot of flowers.

When she gets older, she has to find a hobby for herself, otherwise she will get sick.

The flower is paid by the glass greenhouse, which is a pot of moon and moon red, that is, the moon season.

Empress Dowager He is wondering to herself, how this season's moon and moon red are cultivated.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are here." The palace maid Ah Qiu came to pass the word.

Hearing this, Empress Dowager He happily put down the glass mirror: "Oh, the emperor is here, let him in."

"Son, the concubine visits the Queen Mother!" Li Ji and Zhang Wanxi walked side by side, and the two saluted.
