On the fifth day after the end of the first imperial examination, the court meeting was held.

"Queen Mother, the first trial of the imperial examination, has recruited a group of talents for the imperial court, I think that the imperial examination can only be fixed for two years, for the imperial court to select the world's talents!" On the top of the main hall, Li Yuan, who looked magnificent, bowed to the Queen Mother sitting on the main hall, and then looked at the surrounding ministers of the family, and his words had a hint of undoubtedness.

"Exactly! It is proposed that the imperial examination will be held every two years, and will be held by His Majesty in Luoyang, to select the world's talents for the imperial court!"

Regarding Li Yuan's proposal, Empress Dowager He, who was sitting on the seat, nodded, and then slowly opened her mouth and instructed the surrounding eunuchs.

However, Empress Dowager He obviously did not fully accept Li Yuan's previous proposal, and changed the imperial examination that was originally presented by Li Yuan to the appearance of the Young Emperor Liu Wei, which obviously improved the previous behavior.

After all, when Li Yuan put forward the proposal of the "imperial examination" before, the Empress Dowager He thought that this unprecedented "imperial examination" proposal would offend the interests of the family and cause a counterattack, so even if she agreed to Li Yuan's amazing proposal, but when the will was issued, the name of Li Yuan, the general of the chariot and cavalry, was deliberately placed in a conspicuous position in the holy decree, and the shadow of the royal family was almost invisible in the will of the "imperial examination".

As a result, when it was seen that the family was threatened by Li Yuan's army and the name of orthodoxy, it only adopted an attitude of ignoring and not participating in the "imperial examination". And after the first imperial examination that just ended, Li Yuan gained a lot of fame and a large number of talents, if Empress Dowager He was still excluded, it would be despising her values.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager He, who received Ding Yuan's suggestion, did not hesitate to let her son, who had become the emperor, come forward to preside over the imperial examination, on the one hand, to accumulate her son's prestige, and on the other hand, she was ready to recruit those outstanding talents in the imperial examination as her confidants. Now the Empress Dowager He is not at ease at all in the palace about the Praetorian Guard transformed from the Youzhou Army, and the Young Emperor Liu Wei has not even built a henchmanship, which can be described as an extraordinary tragedy and helplessness!

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister has no objection!"

"Your Majesty is also a dignified son of heaven, and he happened to come forward to preside over the imperial examination two years later!" ……

Hearing Empress Dowager He's will, Ding Yuan, the newly released empty captain, was the first to jump out to express his support, and then several other ministers who stood on the side of the royal family of Empress Dowager He also came forward to support. And what puzzles people who don't know the situation is. After Yuan Kui and other ministers from the family looked at each other, they also came forward to express their approval of Empress Dowager He's proposal.

However, don't get me wrong, this is not Yuan Kui and other families rejoining the Empress Dowager He's side, but the ministers of the family whose interests have been damaged felt the meaning of Empress Dowager He's words and directly came forward to support Empress Dowager He's proposal to grab food with Li Yuan's mouth!

When the Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor jointly issued a decree to implement the "imperial examination", which damaged the interests of the family, why did the family not openly oppose it? It was not that the family changed its temperament to learn from Britain and France in World War II and compromised, but Li Yuan, who controlled Luoyang and Sili, stood up as the support behind Empress Dowager He and Emperor Shao. The army of hundreds of thousands and the suppression of righteousness made the world's families unable and afraid to attack the "imperial examination".

I have already said before that the existence of a family can become a family, and I am absolutely not interested in such a thing as hitting a stone with an egg, and in the face of Li Yuan, who controlled the righteousness and absolute power at that time, even if the family in the world is reluctant to give up the interests of the "imperial examination", they can only grit their teeth and watch Li Yuan cut a piece of meat from their bowl.

Now hearing the words of the Empress Dowager He, the ministers of the family who can endure the situation. I immediately heard the meaning of Empress Dowager He's words, these old foxes who can mingle in the court. But he would never let go of this good opportunity to be separated, and he chose to support Empress Dowager He without hesitation, and took the dominance of the imperial examination from Li Yuan.

In the face of Empress Dowager He's order and the response of the ministers of the family, Li Yuan didn't seem to have the slightest strength to oppose it, and nodded indifferently and agreed to the will given by the Empress Dowager He.

[Hmph! Think you won a game? The feast is still waiting for you......]

looked at the Empress Dowager He with a happy face. There were also the ministers of the family who had a hint of a smile in their eyes, Li Yuan muttered in his heart with disdain.

Of course, Li Yuan's actions of the ministers of the family are not surprising, after all, they are all clearly in the hostile camp, and those ministers of the family will not seize the opportunity unless they have their brains in water and see the opportunity. And what surprised Li Yuan a little was that. Empress Dowager He, a woman who was regarded by him as a noble and beautiful flesh X-weapon, seemed to be very decisive under Ding Yuan's mention and her own mentality, and she had already vaguely begun to make small moves and try to control her own power!

"It seems that I can tell this woman the news of those big meals!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, Empress Dowager He's bedroom.

"Woo......"

With a seductive mouth, the Empress Dowager He on the bed slowly opened a pair of beautiful eyes.

Empress Dowager He, who woke up, involuntarily moved her snow-white lotus root arm, but in addition to grabbing a vacancy by her side as usual, she let the silk sheet covered by her charming ketone body slip down.

If there are other men observing around now, you can see that most of Empress Dowager He's mature and attractive plump jade body is directly exposed, and the snow-white skin is as attractive as condensed white jade. And the full jade peak that was revealed was even more trembling and swaying, and the two attractive crimson cherries were able to attract the eyes of countless males, and they wanted to taste the tempting cherries and their ripe jade bodies!

However, what makes people feel a little regretful or envious is that on the exposed jade body of the Empress Dowager He, the conspicuous handprints, tooth marks and other traces make the Empress Dowager He's body obviously reveal a trace of the special beauty after being destroyed, and by the way, the Empress Dowager He firmly remembers her experience last night.

"Sure enough, is the mourning family just a plaything for you......"

Empress Dowager He, who had grabbed the air with her arms, raised her body slightly and stroked her scattered hair, and after looking at the bed except for a few of her own underwear and a golden phoenix crown, there was no other person and anything, and a trace of gloom and anger flashed in her eyes.

Because yesterday in the court, Empress Dowager He made her own arrangements without authorization. Li Yuan came to the dormitory at night to "punish" Empress Dowager He. And after the Empress Dowager He tried her best, Li Yuan said that he acquiesced in the matter, but put forward his new proposal to the Empress Dowager He.

Originally, when she tried her best to serve Li Yuan last night, Empress Dowager He still had a trace of inexplicable emotion in her heart, but now she saw the situation where Li Yuan left directly without even saying hello. Let Empress Dowager He understand her status in Li Yuan's eyes - just a noble plaything!

However, being in the palace and seeing the fate of those beauties who seduced the emperor with their beauty, Empress Dowager He did not have much hope for the intimate relationship between herself and Li Yuan.

She is already in her thirties, even if she continues to maintain herself well and is like a beauty in her twenties, how long can she maintain this excellent appearance? Decade? Fifteen years? And when she is old and decrepit...... Oh, there is no need to wait until then, even if Empress Dowager He is in the palace, she has heard that there are two stunning female generals by Li Yuan's side. It is also related to Cai Yan, a talented woman who is quite famous in Luoyang City, and Li Yuan's recent contacts seem to confirm the news that Empress Dowager He heard.

It can be said that Empress Dowager He's understanding of Li Yuan, does she think that if Li Yuan's fresh energy for herself is over, will she still deal with herself like this? Of course, Empress Dowager He's biggest concern is the loss of such an intimate relationship. Will Li Yuan unswervingly stand on the side of himself and the young emperor Liu Wei?!

"The mourning family relies on only debate!"

I felt the faint pain in my body. Empress Dowager He's eyes became very sharp.

With the previous Luoyang Rebellion, and now Li Yuan's contemptuous attitude towards her, the Empress Dowager He made up her mind to become a real Han emperor for her precious son desperately.

After all, in Empress Dowager He's own understanding, it is impossible for her to stay with Li Yuan as the Empress Dowager. And Li Yuan's current attitude as if he was purely interested in her body also made Empress Dowager He understand the relationship between herself and Li Yuan, and also strengthened Empress Dowager He's seemingly dangerous idea.

"The Saga ...... Li Yuan...... It's all cancer! It must be eradicated for the sake of the debate!"

Now sit up and reveal the seductive ketone body Empress Dowager He, but strangely does not give people any charming demeanor, similar to the eyes that seem to be flickering with cold light on the blade. The impression of the people he met for the first time on Empress Dowager He changed greatly, "But now, it's not the time!"

Although her eyes were shining with coldness, the well-behaved Empress Dowager He did not have the idea of doing it immediately.

After seeing the situation of the Luoyang Rebellion, and Ding Yuan as her staff officer, Empress Dowager He also understood that with only a few hundred reliable people on hand (basically Ding Yuan's personal soldiers), the military generals who were out of the body were only Ding Yuan, and in this case, they directly turned their faces with Li Yuan and the family, which was the end of wanting to "die of a violent illness".

Now that Empress Dowager He thinks about it, in addition to the little strength she has at hand, the most important thing is to contact those who are loyal to the Han family, and make the conflict between Li Yuan and the family more intense, so that they can find a suitable opportunity!

"There it is! The mourning family remembers that what the bastard said last night was poison for the family......"

Then, Empress Dowager He seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.

However, now anyone who knows the thoughts in Empress Dowager He's heart will not feel how beautiful that pretty face full of smiles is when they see the smile on Empress Dowager He's face, but will only feel a chill in their hearts......

………………

Three days later, the Yuan Mansion in Luoyang City.

"Brother Jianyang, you actually took the initiative to come over, what a rare guest!"

In the hall, looking at Ding Yuan, who had come over with a few attendants and a light bicycle in a low manner, sat down, Yuan Kui, who was sitting on the main seat, had a hint of strangeness and curiosity in his eyes.

Not only was Yuan Kui, who was the Taifu, very curious, but even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were sitting with him, looked at Ding Yuan, who came to Yuan's Mansion secretly, and felt curious - before the Bingzhou Army was annexed by the Youzhou Army, even if the Yuan Mansion wanted to invite Ding Yuan, it was rare, and after the Bingzhou Army was annexed, Ding Yuan had no contacts, so what was the matter with taking the initiative to come now?

"Humph! Brother Ciyang, can't I, Ding, step on the threshold of the Yuan Mansion?"

Hearing Yuan Kui's words, Ding's originally not very good-looking face suddenly turned dark, and he snorted coldly and asked rhetorically when he looked at Yuan Kui.

If Ding Yuan still controlled the state army, Yuan Kui's attitude would not be the same as it is now. And after Li Yuan killed Lu Bu and completely annexed the Bingzhou army, Ding Yuan, who knew that he had no value to Yuan Kui's side, did not go back to eat grass, but stood firmly in the royal family.

Come to Yuan's Mansion now, if it weren't for Empress Dowager He's advice, Ding Yuan really didn't want to come......

"Haha! How dare you, how dare you. I just made a slip of the tongue, Brother Jianyang, forgive me!"

Hearing Ding Yuan's implicit displeasure, Yuan Kui hurriedly apologized, and punished himself with a glass of spirits to apologize.

Although it is said that now Ding Yuan has lost the position of the state army and the history of the state assassin, but with the identity of the county lord and the dignified captain, even the Yuan family, who is the fourth and third dukes, did not dare to say the arrogant words of "You are not qualified to step into the door of my house", but quickly apologized to Ding Yuan!

Ding Yuan is not a person who does not know what to do, and Yuan Kui, the master, apologized and punished himself. He nodded his head and skipped the occasion, and then the two sides began to have a small feast, and while enjoying the performance of singing and dancing, they pushed their glasses and drank wine.

"Brother Jianyang, there must be something wrong with you coming this time, right?"

When almost half an hour later, seeing that Ding Yuan still looked unhurried, Yuan Kui finally didn't hold back his curiosity and took the initiative to ask Ding Yuan.

It's not that Yuan Kui can't hold his breath. It's really the recent changes in things, which makes an old man like Yuan Kui too troublesome. Ding Yuan, who was now standing on the side of the royal family, took the initiative to come to Yuan's Mansion, and his words were still the same kind of careful and quick coming, so Yuan Kui directly chose to take the initiative and asked Ding Yuan for the purpose of coming to Yuan's Mansion.

"Of course there is something!"

Seeing that Yuan Kui couldn't maintain that calm state of mind and took the initiative to ask himself, a hint of comfort flashed in Ding Yuan's eyes. But he didn't show this emotion, but took out a letter from his bosom and put it in front of him, and said in a tone that seemed a little complicated: "I was just entrusted by someone to send a letter to Brother Ciyang!"

……

Later, Yuan Kui sent Ding Yuan, who was full of wine and food, out of the door. Turned around and opened the letter with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others in the secret room, and then saw several of them on white paper full of handwriting.

Yuan Kui and the others froze slightly, but after looking at each other, Yuan Kui, who was the Taifu and the current boss of the Yuan family, was the first to take a few pieces of white paper in his hand to watch, and then his face became extremely angry, and after handing the white paper in his hand to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao beside him, they were also furious after reading the content recorded on the white paper.

"Abolish slavery?! Han people are not allowed to be slaves?!!"

"That's it! Check this out! Prepare to conquer the Xiongnu in the north, and unite Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou to attack together, and after winning the crusade against the Northern Xiongnu, he actually proposed to restore the system of the lieutenant chief, the pavilion chief and the military merit Tianjue? And also let those meritorious soldiers who won serve as lieutenants and pavilion chiefs?!!"

"This is Li Zisheng's recital?!"

"Look at the tone above, it was copied from the fold, it should be Li Zisheng's handwriting!"

"Look at this! Migration of Lingyi?! Good thief, he is really vicious, and trying to leave me is a place of no return!" ……

After reading the blank paper in his hand, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao couldn't help but exclaim, and Yuan Kui finally couldn't maintain his image and roared angrily after seeing the content of the last blank paper in his hand.

Abolish slave uniforms!

Han people are not allowed to be slaves!

Defeat the Northern Huns!

Trying to restore the system of lieutenant chiefs, pavilion chiefs, and military meritorious Tianjue!

It is suggested that after the victory of the Xiongnu in the northern expedition, the migration system of the tombs in the Western Han Dynasty should be restored......

The suggestions and settings on this blank piece of paper made Yuan Kui, who was familiar with history books and had broad knowledge, clearly realize what Li Yuan was going to do? !

In the previous words, it is good to say that the abolition of the slave system and the prohibition of slavery by the Han people are not allowed to be slaves, and the crusade against the Northern Xiongnu is also a politically correct thing for the Han Dynasty, which regards the Xiongnu as the most powerful enemy. Moreover, if a warrior wants to make a meritorious service, he can only gain glory and merit by fighting.

However, the latter suggestion to try to restore the system of lieutenant chiefs, pavilion chiefs and military meritorious Tianjue, and after the victory of the Xiongnu in the Northern Expedition, to restore the Lingyi migration system in the Western Han Dynasty, Yuan Kui understood Li Yuan's thoughts and thoughts!

The system of li chief, pavilion chief and military merit Tianjue is an important foundation for the Qin Dynasty to unify the six countries!

The former's words allowed the Qin Dynasty's mobilization and control capabilities to reach the level of the **** founding in the main world. Even a grain of rice and a strong man are accurate. As long as you dare to kill people desperately on the battlefield, a small soldier from a humble background may climb to the rank of general, knighthood and sit on a beautiful house, so that the Qin Dynasty army can sweep through and unify the world in the face of harsh military discipline and temptation.

Li Yuan proposed the reinstatement of these systems. In Yuan Kui's view, it is to reunify the military of the Han Dynasty under his command, and if he really wants to succeed in conquering the Northern Xiongnu and restoring the military merit Tianjue system, then Li Yuan is equivalent to laying an invincible foundation, and the warriors of the world are afraid that they will all take refuge under Li Yuan.

However, compared with the restoration of the migration system of the Western Han Dynasty, it made Yuan Kui, who was familiar with history books, even more terrifying!

The so-called Lingyi migration system is the strategy that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, began to implement, to put it simply, Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty understood the troubles of the local wealthy and powerful families, so he simply came to a strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle. It is called Lingyi Migration - to put it simply, every time an emperor of the Western Han Dynasty died, a special city was set up around the mausoleum, and the families of the powerful and merchants who were prominent in the world moved to live in it!

The so-called local tyrant is that the power is rooted in the local area, colluding with the officials and the thugs below, and gradually making a fortune and finally forming an existence like a local emperor. As soon as the Lingyi migration system came out, the heroes of those who had lost their local roots were like trees that had lost their roots. The original power soon vanished. After arriving in the new city, they were able to start again from the rich and powerful merchants who had also migrated to the place. That's not a threat.

Of course, this kind of good system that can reassure the emperor and make a fortune from the local government and the royal family was all the rage in the Western Han Dynasty, so that countless local heroes who had just emerged and had not yet grown into man-eating monsters died directly in swaddling clothes, and also made the Western Han Dynasty not appear in the Eastern Han Dynasty The current family threatens the royal family.

But. When Wang Mang, who was suspected of usurping the Han Dynasty, and implemented his reform plan that was too advanced, he was beaten by Liu Xiu, the son of the plane and the super great demon master, and established the Eastern Han Dynasty, which made countless local heroes regard it as a thorn in the flesh of the flesh The Lingyi migration system was abolished. Then, when the Eastern Han Dynasty passed for two hundred years, it also allowed the local tycoons and families to form a climate and began to confront the imperial power that tried to maintain its superiority.

It can be said that for the local heroes and families of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the migration system of the Western Han Dynasty is equivalent to reproducing the ghost in front of a child who grew up listening to ghost stories.

What made Yuan Kui angry and out of shape was of course not the Lingyi migration system that had not yet been re-carried out, but Li Yuan's attitude towards the family being forced into a corner step by step, and after cooperating with those proposals and related ideas on a few blank sheets of paper, Yuan Kui seemed to see the terrible prospect of Li Yuan driving the family into a dead end after his success and making the long-inherited family disappear!

[Our family must not allow this vicious thief to succeed!! 】

Just imagining the situation after Li Yuan's success in his mind, Yuan Kui, who felt shuddering, made up his mind in his heart.

If it was just the imperial examination, even if Yuan Kui saw that Li Yuan had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands and had a righteous name in his hands, he would endure it. However, now the vague gesture of Ding Yuan and the Empress Dowager He behind him, as well as Li Yuan's attitude of clearly wanting to exterminate the family, made Yuan Kui have a firm idea in his heart to stop Li Yuan desperately!

After all, this is no longer a piece of meat to dig up the family, but the rhythm of Li Yuan's preparation to set up a new camp and step the family into the soles of his feet, even other families will understand the importance.

"Benchu, highway, you prepare, inform the rest of the family, tomorrow our Yuan family invites them to a banquet!"

After taking a deep breath, Yuan Kui, who had calmed down, showed his true colors as an old fox, and admonished Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, who were also full of anger and fear, but there was some hesitation in his tone.

Now, Yuan Kui is still not sure whether Li Yuan and Li Zisheng, the general of the chariot cavalry, will really do this kind of thing that will force all the families into a corner, whether Ding Yuan and Empress Dowager He are deliberately provoking with the idea of "fighting with the snipe and the clam and profiting from the fisherman", the only thing he can do now is to ventilate with the other families and be prepared to deal with it...... (To be continued.) )
