The whole Tai'an City is still quiet, and the rooster has just crowed at this moment. Qianchang Palace was also immersed in darkness, but many palace maids and eunuchs had already begun to get busy. The lights in the East Warm Pavilion of the Qinzheng Hall were the first to turn on, and Zhao Bingyan opened his eyes almost at the same time, and was about to get up. As soon as he moved, he felt a large warm hand gently press his shoulder. A gentle voice said: "Don't get up, it's still too early, you have a child in your belly, and you should rest more." ”

Li Yunqing sat up as he spoke, and immediately Chen Zhong led two palace maids in to serve him to change his clothes. Zhao Bingyan looked at Li Yunqing quietly, this figure seemed to be too young for her to see. His every move seemed to have a powerful attraction for her, fascinating her. But I heard Zhao Bingyan say lazily: "This time in the palace, you will start to rotate the wheel, and the iron body must also combine work and rest." After all, this thing can't be done, and if you can loosen it, you can loosen it, and I'm always distressed when I see it. ”

Li Yunqing turned around and smiled slightly: "Originally, there wasn't much of this matter, but now it's the ninth year of my ascension to the throne. Emperor Taizong didn't finish it, or wanted to do something he didn't have time to do, I have already done it. But isn't this coming to the imperial examination right away? This year's imperial examination is different from previous years, and you also know my thoughts, so there are more things to prepare. After this while, I will be able to easily handle state affairs in the future. At this moment, Chen Zhong had already retreated with the palace maid, Li Yunqing walked to the edge of the dragon collapse, bent down and kissed Zhao Bingyan on the forehead, and said softly: "I am outside, you can rest assured that I will sleep for another hour." The tip of Zhao Bingyan's nose rubbed against the tip of Li Yunqing's nose, and Li Yunqing walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion with satisfaction.

The Great Cadre Imperial Examination is now held once every three years, which is similar to that of the previous dynasty. This is the third imperial examination of the Great Qianlongwu Dynasty, and Li Yunqing attaches great importance to every imperial examination. The imperial examination is now the only and most effective way to select talents for the imperial court. The so-called acquisition of the holy word was sold to the emperor's family. For students who study hard in the cold window, the imperial examination is also the only way to glorify their ancestors.

It is precisely because of this that favoritism and malpractice in the imperial examinations of all dynasties and dynasties have occurred from time to time, and even the big cadres have not escaped such things. In the autumn of the thirty-first year of the emperor's reign, there was a scientific research fraud case that shocked the entire empire. Li Shanhe, who has always been kind to ministers, was furious when he learned of this, and immediately announced that all the results of the imperial examination would be invalid and the examination would be re-examined. All this was just the beginning, and Li Shanhe was furious and sent Jin Wuwei to launch a stormy investigation. In the end, it was found that the officials and candidates who participated in the fraud in that imperial examination, both direct and indirect, totaled 53 people. Among them, the highest official position is the official of the second rank of the dynasty. Li Shanhe did not tolerate this at all, and beheaded all the 53 people involved in the case to show the public, so as to thank the world.

Since then, the imperial court has been particularly careful in the selection of invigilators. In the third year of Xingye, Emperor Taizongren set a rule. In the future, the chief examiner of the imperial examination will always be the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the deputy chief examiner will also be the senior of the cabinet who is highly respected, which shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to the imperial examination. Since Li Yunqing ascended the throne, the chief examiner of the imperial examination has always been Wang Changling, the prime minister. And he did it more thoroughly than his brother, all the candidates who passed the township examination came to the capital to participate in every examination, he, the emperor, would personally be present to invigilate the examination, under the power of Huanghuang Tianwei, no candidate dared to cheat at all.

Li Yunqing's approach can be said to be unprecedented, because in all dynasties, the emperor will only appear when the palace is tested. Li Yunqing's approach is naturally effective, from the beginning of the third year of Long Wu to the present, Long Wu has actually selected a group of high-quality officials.

The rooster crowed for the second time, and a ray of sunlight passed through the gate of the Qinzheng Hall and sprinkled on Li Yunqing's dragon case, wrapping his whole person in it. At this moment, if someone looks at it from the outside, they will be shocked, and Li Yunqing at this moment is sitting on the dragon chair on the top of the imperial steps, like a god, exuding golden light all over his body, which is so dazzling. But at this time, a chief official of the Ministry of Industry arrived at the bottom of the imperial staircase, and the little eunuch saw this scene and hurriedly stepped forward to ask the official why he came here, and soon reported to Chen Zhongyu on the royal staircase. Hearing this, Chen Zhong entered the Qinzheng Hall lightly, and when he reached the bottom of the imperial stairs, he did not speak immediately, but waited.

Li Yunqing is reviewing a recital at the moment, and according to the rules, he can't interrupt it at this moment. If he opened his mouth at this moment, he might interrupt the emperor's train of thought, and if he took a step back, it would also affect Zhu Pi's handwriting, which was out of place. When Li Yunqing closed the fold, Chen Zhongcai bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "Emperor Qiqi, Xiao Tianzuo, the squire of the Ministry of Works, asked to see him, saying that it was about Wuling. ”

The emperors of the Central Plains Continent, the emperors of all dynasties will do many great things after ascending the throne, but one of them is the same thing for ten thousand years. That is, to build a mausoleum. The ancients descended to the common people, and up to the emperor, and everything died as life. That is, the ancients believed that everything after death was no different from when it was alive. Whether this legend is true or not, rules have been formed over the millennia.

The emperors of all dynasties began to build mausoleums after they ascended the throne, and Li Yunqing naturally did the same. His mausoleum is a martial tomb, which has been under construction for nearly eight years now. Li Yunqing is not very concerned about the construction of his mausoleum, and it seems that he should do things well when he is alive, and he will do what his love is when he dies. He hasn't even been to Wuling since it was built, so what can the people from the Ministry of Industry do today? Li Yunqing said casually when he heard this: "Xuan come in." After that, he continued to review his own excerpts.

Xiao Tianzuo saluted Li Yunqing and said respectfully: "The minister has something to play, Wuling is now preparing to make stone statues, I don't know what kind of stone statues the emperor likes, whether he wants more generals and ministers, or more cows, horses and elephants, please show the emperor." ”

Li Yunqing's brows couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Xiao Aiqing, the Taizu Gao Emperor's Tailing Tomb and the Taizongren Emperor's Dingling Tomb were both built under the auspices of your Ministry of Industry, and you have not been doing this errand for a day or two." I have heard that many of the officials in charge of the mausoleum in the Ministry of Industry are even skilled craftsmen left over from the previous dynasty. This kind of thing, you actually came to me now and asked me what I mean. Xiao Tianzuo, you are Jiang Lang is exhausted, or do you want to do something, tell me about it. ”

Xiao Tianzuo heard Li Yunqing's words, but his forehead was sweating, and he was wronged in his heart. This stone statue was originally made by the Ministry of Industry according to the arrangement, and before the founding of the country, the emperor was indeed not asked about these things. It's just that this Taizu Emperor Li Shanhe is a different emperor. In March of the twenty-fifth year of the emperor's reign, Tailing was about to be completed. Taizu went to inspect and saw that there were imaginary stone statues of Wenchen and military generals on both sides of the Shinto, and shook his head and said to the squire of the Ministry of Works at that time: "I don't want so many people to disturb me after I die, so let's replace them with animals, although those things are animals, they seem to be more pleasant to get along with." ”
