has just become an emperor, and he still needs to go to the court to face hundreds of officials and accept their worship.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

A few people saluted slowly.

Now it's different from the past, it's no longer as free as the City Lord's Mansion.

Outside the Parliamentary Palace.

Everywhere Li Xingchen went, he shouted, "Long live my emperor!" ”

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood at both ends, their expressions were solemn, and they were solemn.

There are also some who have been tossed by the enthronement ceremony and are very tired, and they are stunned to endure the backache and stand tall.

After all, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, so he should be solemn, otherwise he will be impeached by someone with a heart.

"The emperor has arrived." With the sharp voice of the Grand Duke, Li Xingchen walked into the hall, climbed the steps, and sat on the dragon chair.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all focused their eyes on this young man in a dragon robe and saluted in unison.

"Your Majesty."

Li Xingchen was expressionless, looking down at them with his eyes down, and there was a feeling that the whole world was at his feet.

Sitting here, he could clearly watch the actions of the ministers below.

This position is the highest position of Great Wei, and it is the most desired position of countless people, from today on, he is the owner of this dragon chair and the emperor of Great Wei.

"Flat." Li Xingchen suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice.

"Proclaim the decree!" Li Xingchen gestured to the great eunuch with his eyes.

The big eunuch took a few steps forward and spread out the holy decree.

"When I first ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the whole world celebrated, and the people were exempt from tax for one year.

From now on, the official system of the Great Wei Dynasty will be based on the imperial examination, and officials will be recruited from all over the country. ”

The number of crosses sprinkled with joy resounded throughout the hall.

Nothing else, but what is the imperial examination? The crowd looked puzzled.

"Today's accession to the throne, everyone has worked hard. If there is nothing important, go back and rest, and talk about it tomorrow morning. Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.

He also had to think carefully about the system of imperial examinations and improve it.

At present, the officials of the court are hereditary, and it is impossible for the people to become officials in the court.

However, under this system, it is unrealistic for the Great Wei to rule Chang'an for a long time, and it must face the common people, recruit talents, and break the hereditary system of aristocracy.

It's over so soon? Just announced a decree and is about to retreat from the court?

"That's it! Retreat! Prime Minister, come with me. Li Xingchen stood up.

The ministers put aside their doubts about the imperial examination and were forced one after another.

You must know that when the Emperor Taishang ascended the throne in the past, he recited the exploits he had done before he ascended the throne for an hour.

After that, it was canonized and sealed, and all kinds of messes added up, from early morning to the second half of the night before it was unfinished.

In fact, Li Xingchen thinks that the meaning of this kind of ritualized thing is enough, omitting all unnecessary verbal guarantees, and using practical actions is the best.

Otherwise, there is no other use in forcing and chattering to ensure a lot, which will not only delay each other's time.

"Congratulations to my emperor."

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs said respectfully.

The Imperial Study.

The prime minister stood at the desk, smiling from ear to ear.

All along, he thought that Li Zhen could apologize to Li Xingchen as soon as possible, and then welcome him back to Dawei as a prince.

didn't expect that so soon, the third prince he was proud of would become the new emperor of Great Wei, could he not be happy?

was even a little annoyed, when Li Xingchen was still the city lord before, he didn't introduce the youngest daughter of the family to Li Xingchen as soon as possible.

Now it's good that there's still this opportunity...

"I don't know if the emperor summoned the ministers alone to discuss important matters?" The prime minister said respectfully.

Li Xingchen lowered his eyes and pondered, but did not answer.

Now that he has become the emperor, the problem of people's livelihood is almost solved.

As an emperor, you should take a long-term view, such as creating a prosperous era and making Great Wei a well-deserved world's first power.

Of course, even if it becomes the first power, if it wants to develop brilliantly and long-term, it must lay a good foundation, otherwise it will be replaced by other empires sooner or later.

As an emperor, the most taboo thing is to delusionally use the policy of fooling the people forever.

The policy of fooling the people may be useful for a while, but it will definitely not be used for a lifetime, and once a strong enemy comes to attack, it will collapse with a bang.

Therefore, after solving the problems of people's livelihood such as clothing, food, housing and transportation, we have to work hard to improve the cultural level of all the people of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Only in this way can we pass the imperial examination and select talents to join the ruling group after education has come up, breaking the current hereditary system.

Although the country is governed by law, and people are afraid of the law, this is only fear, and it is not enough to be fearful.

People must have reverence in order to rule better.

For example, the common people should fear the officials, the small officials should fear the big officials, and the emperor should fear the heavens.

In this way, there will be order in one layer of reverence.

Otherwise, once there is no reverence, there will be lawlessness, and sooner or later it will become a Shura field, where there is only desire, fighting for desire.

If you want to rule Chang'an for a long time, in addition to the legal system, you must also carry out a complete circle of reverence for the entire rule through respect for heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, etc.

But this kind of reverence can only be rendered in the form of mythology, such as the Son of Heaven, the son of Heaven, and ascending to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is expected by all.

Either in the form of religion, such as modern Buddhism, Taoism, etc., to this day still burn incense and worship the Buddha...

Li Xingchen sat on the dragon chair and thought wildly, and the expression on his face was also ever-changing.

After a while, I will be happy to improve the overall level of the current Great Wei through the knowledge of later generations.

After a while, he was frustrated and feared that the whole country was only flourishing under his rule, and when he stepped down, his successor would not be able to keep up with him, and he would quickly return to the prototype.

At this moment, the prime minister spoke again, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" ”

Li Xingchen came back to his senses and was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

The prime minister choked, "Your Majesty, didn't you tell the old minister to come to the imperial study with you?" The old minister thought that you had something to explain to the old minister alone. ”

"Oh... Yes, I want to ask you, have all the textbooks printed some time ago been distributed to the major cities? ”

The Prime Minister nodded.

"Your Majesty, when you went to Guava, Lao Chen did this well, and half a month ago I wanted to go to inspect it to see how the effect of popular science was, but the refugees suddenly broke in, delaying the time."

Li Xingchen lowered his eyes, and said after a while: "Hmm." I plan to open a free school and focus on education from the beginning. As for adults, just teach them literacy. ”

"School? Your Majesty is talking about the Academy? ”

"Yes, it's the Academy." Li Xingchen smiled.

"There are schools everywhere, but the ability of the teaching gentleman is uneven.

Some good teachers are reluctant to run to poor places, and teachers who are willing to stay in the countryside are not a few words themselves.

I have also done research on this matter, and in order to improve the cultural level of the whole people, the most important thing is to start with the children.
