Imperial examinations are held every three years.

And in the event of a major event, it will also open Enko,

I'm afraid that in less than ten years, the entire Datang Dynasty will fall into a state of redundant officials, waiting for the officials to raise people, and they can circle around Chang'an City.

At that time, it will be up to Li Mao to decide who can fill the vacancy.

Those who are from high-ranking families, Li Mao can make them unable to be officials for the rest of their lives.

After all, there is no shortage, and it is impossible for those big families to drive away the original officials.

As for those who were admitted to the Jinshi, Li Mao also had a way to deal with it.

After the first imperial examination next year, he planned to set up the Hanlin Academy according to the system of the Ming Dynasty.

And among the Jinshi, 20 to 30 people were selected as Shujishi and entered the Hanlin Academy for training.

Li Mao plans to set up a rule at that time that no one who is not from the Hanlin Academy will be allowed to enter the cabinet.

In this way, the high-ranking families can be sealed from the system, preventing them from occupying high positions in the court, and they can only serve as cabinet ministers at the highest.

Of course, at the beginning, Li Mao would not completely eliminate high-born scholars among the scholars.

Perhaps in the next year, the majority of those who will be elected as a kujishi will still be from high families.

The specific number of people, Li Mao plans to make decisions based on the development of the war.

Almost all the reform plans promulgated today are copied from the Ming Dynasty.

The only difference is that the Hanlin Academy, which has not yet been established.

Li Mao will definitely not be like the Ming Dynasty, let Hanlin stay in Chang'an all the time, and he can directly enter the cabinet without being familiar with local government affairs.

He planned to wait for the selection of the Gillis.

He first entered the Hanlin Academy for three years of further study, during which time the scholars could familiarize themselves with the administrative process of the imperial court.

After completing the study, after passing the examination, he will be sent to the local area and serve as an adjutant of the first government.

Wait another three years, and if you have outstanding political performance, you can be transferred to the prefect.

After serving as the prefect for another three years, those with outstanding political achievements can be transferred to the center and serve as the squire of the sixth department, or an official of the same level as the ninth secretary.

It is also another three years, and if these people can be remembered by the emperor, they can be released to serve as feudal officials.

If the feudal officials go further, they need to work for at least five years before they can enter the cabinet and rule the world.

Total.

If a particularly good guy doesn't make a mistake at every step, it still takes eighteen years to enter the cabinet.

Although it was a long time.

But Li Mao believes that this is an experience that important ministers in the cabinet must have, and they must understand everything from the center to the locality.

He doesn't want his future children and grandchildren to be able to use some foolish prime ministers.

As soon as Li Mao thought of his children and grandchildren, he saw Xiao Fuzi running over with small steps.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang asked you how long it will take?"

This is the third time Xiaofuzi has come to inquire.

Li Mao looked up, looked at the moonlight through the window, and judged that the time should be around two o'clock in the morning.

looked back at Li Linfu and Xiao Song, and found that their faces were full of exhaustion.

"Let's get here today, the two of you will go back and discuss, and prepare what I said before into an edict, and hand it over tomorrow."

Li Mao looked like a teacher who asked elementary school students to hand in their homework.

Li Linfu and Xiao Song were also like elementary school students, and they didn't dare to have the slightest objection, "The minister obeys the order." ”

After saying that, the two bowed and exited the door.

Li Mao just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, when he saw a fiery figure jump in.

"Your Majesty, the concubines haven't seen you in the past few days, and they are all worried about death!"

Yang Yuhuan suddenly fell into Li Mao's arms, and inhaled the unique masculine smell hard.

"I miss you too!"

Li Mao was full of smiles and looked at the snow white.

"Your Majesty is dead!"

Yang Yuhuan instantly spotted Li Mao's gaze, and pretended to pull up the placket.

"Haha...... Aifei, it seems that I still have to fight today. ”

After Li Mao laughed, he picked up Yang Yuhuan.

After the eunuchs and maids in the hall glanced at each other, they silently withdrew.

Zhao Gao stared at Xiao Fuzi fiercely with a sharp gaze.

Xiao Fuzi shook his head indifferently.

The two glared at each other and exited the hall, closing the door together.

A moment later, a series of terrible shouts rang out in the Zichen Palace, accompanied by the roar of a beast.

……

After Zhao Gao left the Zichen Palace, he came directly to the Hall of Eternal Life.

Li Mao left in a very anxious hurry before, and did not make arrangements for the twenty-four people who had been favored, so these people still lived in the Hall of Eternal Life.

Knock knock!

"Who?"

A gentle voice sounded in the Hall of Eternal Life.

The owner of the voice is none other than Niu Yuwei, the daughter of the former prime minister Niu Cyclamen.

As soon as she spoke, the others who lived in the Hall of Eternal Life were also awakened.

"It's an old slave!" Zhao Gao said in a deep voice.

Niu Yuwei immediately heard who it was.

While she was dressing, she was thinking about Zhao Gao's intentions in her mind.

The news of Emperor Li Mao's return to the palace today has already spread, and their group of women naturally heard it.

Many people began to dress up as soon as they received the news, but they couldn't wait for the news that they were going to meet the emperor all night.

Could it be that the emperor is going to recruit people to sleep?

Niu Yuwei looked up at the moonlight, only to feel that it was too late.

She thought in her heart that even if the emperor recruited someone to sleep, it would be best to be the only one.

Niu Yuwei has been thinking of the absurdity of that night every time she thinks of the absurdity of that night, a sense of shyness rises in her heart.

The multi-person battle is really a bit unacceptable for her, who has a very strict family education.

As soon as Niu Yuwei stepped out of the palace gate, she saw Zhao Gao's fierce face.

"Father-in-law Zhao, it's so late, do you have anything to do with me?"

Zhao Gao looked at her upright look, and his heart was even more unhappy.

But thinking that he didn't have any allies in the harem, he could only put down his unhappiness and put on a smiling face instead.

"My aunt, Your Majesty is back to the palace, why don't you go to greet you? Yang Niangniang next door waited outside the Zichen Hall for several hours. ”

Niu Yuwei said angrily, "She is her, I am me." Your Majesty has not summoned me, and I have no identity, how can I take the initiative to find it? ”

From the bottom of her heart, Niu Yuwei dislikes Yang Yuhuan very much.

She has often thought recently that if it weren't for Yang Yuhuan's disaster to the country and the people, her father would not have been in danger of his life several times.

And she also knew that Zhao Gao had been deceiving people, and her father had arrived in Luoyang safely with the old emperor.

Zhao Gao saw that Niu Yuwei didn't accept his kindness, and he was even more angry in his heart.

But his face remained silent, and he continued to persuade in an almost flattering tone: "Auntie, the minions are all for your good!" ”

"Your Majesty has no heirs yet, if you can give birth to a prince, then you will definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of the lord of the harem in the future, and the mother will be the world."
