This is the worship of the prime minister.

But what is different from the prime ministers is that Li Xiao will not stay in the Chang'an Political Hall after worshipping the prime minister, and he will be honored as the prime minister of the three grades under the same Zhongshu Sect, and hang the title of Lingnan Governor and Governor of Lingnan Road.

Lingnan Province has a large territory, including all of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, southeastern Yunnan, northern Vietnam and other vast areas.

As the governor of Jiangnan and the prime minister, Li Xiao became an envoy like Cui Dunli before.

Envoy, the prime minister who is away.

Li Xiao has the name of the prime minister, but because he is not in Beijing, he will not hinder the prime ministers in the political hall. And Li Xiao patrolled Lingnan as an envoy, his grade is high, and he can be on the top of the three envoys, which is equivalent to one person concurrently serving as the three envoys, and is fully in charge of the affairs of the states of Lingnan Province.

Li Xiao did not reply to Guo Zhengyi.

In fact, such a big matter is no longer something that he Li Xiao can decide.

A joint letter from the prime ministers of the government hall was presented to the emperor.

In the Daming Palace, Li Zhi's face was not very good, he suddenly felt a cold wind last night, and he had a splitting headache when he got up this morning, and even his eyes hurt so much that he couldn't see clearly.

The imperial physician told the emperor to close his eyes and calm down, and not to work.

So the emperor asked Empress Wu to review the chapter for him, anyway, it was often Empress Wu who read it for him first, and then help him prioritize, and then read it to him, and then replied according to his meaning.

"I can't understand, why can't these prime ministers in the political hall tolerate a single Li Xiao?"

Li Zhi couldn't help but open his eyes and said angrily.

He likes Li Xiao very much, he has always liked Li Xiao, he likes Li Xiao to be talented, he likes Li Xiao's temperament, he always feels that Li Xiao is not only a capable courtier, he even sometimes feels that only Li Xiao is his half friend in this world.

In addition to the Empress Wu who knows his heart best, perhaps Li Xiao has the most appetite for him and his temper.

Moreover, Li Xiao taught the prince so well in the East Palace, but these people couldn't tolerate Li Xiao.

"Last time, I wanted to worship Li Xiao as the secretary of the military department, but they blocked it, and I agreed."

"Now, they still want to drive Li Xiao out of Beijing, can't they tolerate Li Xiao like this?"

Wu closed the chapter and stretched out his hand to knead his head for the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, Li Xiao is so young, so talented, and extremely capable." It's only been a few months since he returned to Beijing, and now everyone calls Li Xiao the prime minister. ”

She continued, "Previously, Li Xiao also proposed the establishment of the Hanlin Academy, which is held in Chang'an every three years to admit talented people to the Hanlin Academy. ”

Li Xiao's Hanlin Academy said that it was a reserve of talents for the East Palace, but in fact, everyone had already smelled something different. Because sensitive people have discovered that Li Xiao has now become the emperor's internal minister, and the first batch of Hanlin currently admitted to his Hanlin Academy have also become the emperor's think tank.

These people even advised the emperor and drafted some wills.

This is intolerable, because in this way, these Hanlin will have no rules like Li Xiao. Li Xiao is not the prime minister, but he can see the emperor at any time, and the emperor asks him about everything, and as a result, Li Xiao has become the prime minister who is not the prime minister.

As for these Hanlin, although they have no rank or post, they can meet the emperor and draft the will for the emperor.

In this way, it is tantamount to usurping the power of some of the scholars.

Li Xiao became the prime minister who was not the prime minister, and his Hanlin became the middle scholar who was not a Zhongshushe.

Although the Hanlin only drafted the emperor's will, it still had to be approved by the prime ministers of the Zhongshu Sect before it could be handed over to the Zhongshu Sheren to officially draft the edict for issuance, but this was already a very bad sign.

Li Xiao and his Hanlin are called the Son of Heaven private, and they are already known as the Inner Book, if they don't make a move, once this kind of thing becomes the norm, then it will be troublesome in the future.

In particular, Li Xiao's Hanlin Academy was nominally subordinate to the East Palace, and under his jurisdiction, but in fact it served the emperor.

And the selection and admission of this Hanlin did not go through the yamen such as the ministry, and even the prime ministers could not interfere. Li Xiao did not admit Hanlin through the imperial examination, but set up a Hanlin Academy examination to select Hanlin.

However, compared with the imperial examination, his college examination is not limited to his background, as long as he is a good person with a clean background, he can refer to it, and the content of the examination is no longer limited to the Confucian classics.

The examination method set by Li Xiao himself is based on nine subjects, including classics, history, sub-studies, collections, calculations, strategies, archery, law, and etiquette, and the classics are Confucian classics, which mainly test the understanding and mastery of Confucian scriptures, and history, which examines the historiography of past dynasties.

The son is a hundred schools of thought, which is equivalent to miscellaneous subjects.

The collection is mainly to test poetry and songs, etc., and the test is literary talent.

In addition, it is necessary to take the policy question, mainly the current affairs paper. The test of arithmetic is the ability of mathematical calculation, the test of archery is the test of martial arts such as archery and horseback riding, and the test of law is the test of legal knowledge.

Compared with the current imperial examination, Li Xiao's Hanlin Academy examination is more comprehensive and comprehensive, not only to test both literature and martial arts, not only to be familiar with the classics, but also to be able to do poetry and lyrics, but also to be able to calculate, understand the law, and even horseback archery and swordsmanship.

Finally, candidates will be admitted based on comprehensive scores, and those who are excellent will be selected first.

Compared with the current imperial examination, the most important aspects are classics and poetry, which is very different.

In addition, Li Xiao's Hanlin Academy Examination adopted a closed examination, marking the papers with a vague name, and cross-checking the papers, which avoided the possibility of cheating, and only selected talents based on the number of grades, so that those scholars, relatives and bureaucrats who had an advantage everywhere in the imperial examination in the past, as well as those who only knew how to read the scriptures and books, or only knew how to study poetry, but did not pay attention to current affairs, did not know the economy, and did not understand administration, laws, etc., were all stopped outside his Hanlin Academy.

On the one hand, the Hanlin were deeply used by the emperor, and on the other hand, everyone wanted to enter but couldn't get in, so in the end, everyone had a consistent attitude to eliminate him.

Li Xiao and his Hanlin Academy both became heretics.

Wu admired Li Xiao's Hanlin Academy examination very much, thinking that this kind of examination selected really useful talents, but unfortunately some of them were too radical, so that they offended too many people, which naturally did not end well and was besieged by the masses.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the concubine thinks that it would be better to let Li Xiao go to Lingnan. Since the prime ministers of the political affairs hall are willing to give Li Xiao the third rank of the same Zhongshu, it is better to push the boat with the water. Let Li Xiao patrol Lingnan as an envoy and stay abroad for a few years, if Li Xiao can really govern Lingnan well, and then have dazzling political achievements, wouldn't he be able to transfer Li Xiao back to the court and become the real prime minister? ”

"At that time, there will be no reason for anyone to stop opposition, right? And Li Xiao, who entered Beijing again, will no longer have any doubt about his qualifications, prestige, and talent. ”

"But in that place in Lingnan, it's hard to do it." Li Zhi frowned.

"If it doesn't work for three years, then five years, if it doesn't work for five years, then ten years. The concubine believed that with Li Xiao's ability, at most ten years, he would definitely be able to change Lingnan. In three years, he transformed Chishanpu from an uninhabited desert to the second largest port in the north. It only took him three years to turn Andong Dao from an enemy country into the granary of the Tang Dynasty. Ten years, the concubine believed that he would definitely double the population of Guangzhou, from 100,000 to 200,000. Ten years, the concubine believes that he can make Lingnan another southeast granary of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Ten years is too long."

"Ten years is not a long time, Your Majesty and Li Xiao are still young, Your Majesty is only a year old, Li Xiao is not even thirty, even if it is ten years, it is just a good age to stretch out his hand!"

With his eyes closed, Li Zhi thought for a long time.

After a long time, he said slowly, "Ten years later, I will be forty, the prince will be sixteen, and Li Xiao will be thirty-six, which is indeed a good age to do great things." Since this is the case, then, according to the queen's words, I approved the request of the prime ministers of the political affairs hall, added Li Xiaotong Zhongshu to the title of Pingzhang, and awarded Li Xiaoling the post of governor of Lingnan, and acted as the governor of Lingnan on my behalf. In addition, tell Li Xiao to let him rest assured that he will only be in Lingnan for ten years, and ten years later, I will edict him to come back as the prime minister! ”
