Chapter 22: The Innocence of the Emperor

In Li Ci's opinion, after this beating, the ministers should know that Tianwei cannot be violated, and the emperor's order is even more inviolable!

No matter how much they resist the land clearance, after today, they will obediently obey the order.

Of course, in the process of obeying the order, some courtiers may deliberately pretend not to know about it, and hide some land and the like.

But this is something that Tobe Shangshu should be concerned about.

Li Ci delegated power to the household department, if the other party can't even do this little thing, Li Ci will not reuse him in the future.

This is Li Ci's test of the Hubu Shangshu.

For the emperor, the loyalty of his courtiers is important, but the ability is equally important!

Otherwise, there is a group of wine bags and rice tubes in the court, how can Li Ci govern the country?

"Talent..."

"In the final analysis, there is still a lack of talent..."

Li Ci suddenly thought of the selection method of talents in later generations.

College Entrance Examination!

Compulsory education for all!

In the Tang Dynasty, there is also a imperial examination system.

But the efficiency of the imperial examination system in selecting talents is too slow.

It was far from satisfying Li Ci.

"Tobe Shangshu. Li Qigao sat on the throne of the dragon chair and spoke.

"The minister is here. Tobe Shangshu immediately responded.

"After the dispersal of the dynasty, I will check one by one, Chang'an, all the prefectures and counties, the prefectures and counties, the remote towns, before the end of the year, I will know the results!"

"The minister obeys the order!" said Tobe Shangshu with an excited face.

He never expected that the emperor would scold the ministers in the court for his business, and even let a military secretary return to his hometown for this reason!

"I'm Datang Tianxing!"

"A generation of Saints has arrived!"

Tobe Shangshu clenched his fists!

Next, the morning court continues.

Several courtiers reported some things one after another and asked the emperor for instructions.

Li Ci thought about it and gave a reply.

He is the emperor, the master of the Tang Dynasty, and any decision he makes is enough to affect the people of the world.

The decision is right, and the people benefit.

If you make the wrong decision, you will have endless troubles.

Therefore, Li Ci tried to be as thoughtful as possible, and would even let his courtiers say what they thought before giving a decision.

Although the Tang Dynasty has decayed to the roots, there is still no shortage of capable ministers above the court.

The decay of Datang is the decay of the system, which involves all aspects.

And not because of a courtier or something!

The early dynasty ended.

Li Xi returned to the Hall of Eternal Life.

Outside the hall, the people of Taiyi stand with each other.

Although the Taiyi people are the emperor's personal maidservants, they are not qualified to follow the emperor to the early dynasty.

As long as the Taiyi people dare to take a step closer, there will immediately be special officials to impeach the Taiyi people for despising the court.

"Your Majesty, you're back...", the Yiren said softly, looking at Li Ci with a hint of grief in his eyes.

A scene popped into her mind...

That night, the emperor called her into the Hall of Eternal Life.

The two chatted until midnight.

Just as the people of Tantai were about to serve the emperor and sleep, the emperor refused her because he was accustomed to sleeping alone.

Li Xi walked up to the people of Tantai Yi and stopped.

"That night, do you know why I let you out?" Li Xi looked at the Taiyi people.

If it weren't for the operation of the Son of Heaven's alchemy, so that Li Ci's mind was clear, I am afraid that Li Ci would let the Taiyi people sleep that night.

"The slave doesn't know. "The pretty face of the Taiyi people turned white.

Li Ci shook his head slightly: "Your purpose is too strong!"

"I don't like that. Speaking of this, Li Ci paused for a moment and continued: "I know that you may be laughing at me in your heart, and you think I am naïve. ”

"The emperors of the past dynasties, the three palaces and six courtyards, and the three thousand beauties, which one did not approach the emperor with various purposes?"

"But I'm different. ”

"My first woman, I hope to be pure, at the very least, there is no interest involved. ”

Li Xi's words echoed in the ears of the people of Shantaiyi.

From the emperor's words, the people of Shantai felt an unquestionable taste. This is the emperor's idea, no matter how naïve and ridiculous it is, no one can change it!

This is the Emperor!

"Slave..."

"The slave and maid understood. ”

The Yiren lowered their heads and watched the emperor enter the Hall of Eternal Life.

Although the emperor rejected the platform, she had no intention of giving up.

Because she heard another meaning from the emperor's words.

His Majesty didn't want the first woman to be too purposeful.

And what about the second one?

And the third?

The eyes of the people of Shantai are resolute.

As long as she can become His Majesty's woman, the people of Tantai don't mind being the first!

In order to defeat Cihang Jingzhai and be able to let the Yin Kui Sect live in the sun, the Shantai Yi people have decided to pay all the price!

The Shantai Yiren looked deeply at the Hall of Eternal Life in front of him: "Your Majesty, sooner or later, one day, you will know that I, the Shantai Yiren, is the most suitable for Your Majesty..."

...

Meanwhile!

In Yong'an Palace, the Queen Mother finally made up her mind.

"Someone!"

"Spread the word of mourning and start preparing for the folk draft!"

As soon as the Queen Mother's order came out, the entire government and the opposition suddenly boiled.

In the Tang Empire, what woman doesn't want to be the emperor's woman?

Become the hostess of the three palaces and six courtyards?

Although, entering the palace as a show girl is just the beginning.

But at least there is hope.

For a time, countless folk women began to sign up enthusiastically.

And that's not all.

Above the court, those high-ranking officials and officials also moved their minds.

If your daughter or younger generation enters the palace and becomes the emperor's woman, won't your family become a relative of the emperor?

You must know that His Majesty in the court now has ruthless methods, and in just over a month in the court, many officials have died.

No one knows how many people His Majesty will execute tomorrow.

Therefore, if you can obtain the status of a relative of the emperor, it is equivalent to a talisman for the entire family.

At a critical moment, it is very likely that one death will be spared.

At the thought of this, the officials couldn't bear it anymore.

They all went to Yong'an Palace to visit the Queen Mother.

The queen mother is responsible for the draft, and when they are looking for the queen mother, they naturally want to recommend their daughter's descendants.

Suddenly.

The originally deserted Yong'an Palace is rarely lively.

"You courtiers, don't you think about sharing your worries for Your Majesty, but you ran to the mourning house and went through the back door?"

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "What you mean, the mourning family understands, but don't blame the mourning family, the draft is related to His Majesty's selection of concubines, all the selected women must be innocent, suitable for age, healthy, no disabilities, and the most important thing is that the facial features are good, and the body shape must also be in accordance with strict standards!"

The Queen Mother is very clear about the purpose of choosing a concubine.

That's so that His Majesty can give birth to an heir as soon as possible.

Therefore, the quality of the show girl must be passed.

It must not be shoddy!

Therefore, no matter how much the ministers pleaded, the Queen Mother had no intention of relenting.

Everything according to the rules!
