Liu Sheng almost explicitly told the two: You two little Karami can't do it, and the relationship of finding a few allies with the right to speak makes the two of them overjoyed.

Out of the palace gate, after a short communication, the two ran in different directions in Shang Guanli.

——This matter is not only related to the future of these two marquis families, or the future of the marquis family, but also to each noble family who has no ability and wants to arrange the future generations of their descendants.

As for such high gates, how many are there in Chang'an?

Liu Sheng can only say: The two positions of Imperial Doctor and Shaofu, one is a third prince and one is a nine qing, Liu Sheng looked at the hundred and ten meritorious marquis and nobles in Chang'an, and he was stunned that he had not found a useful one, or even a temporary makeshift ······

Since Emperor Taizu Gao established the Han Dynasty, it has been 60 years, the founding father of the 145th Marquis, the lost country, the heir of the heir;

Even the remnants have been eroded by the rich life of prosperity and wealth.

In the future that can be seen with the naked eye, the court decision-making level of the Han family may no longer be able to count on these descendants of the fathers who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths but can't even take care of their own lives.

Until then, what Liu Sheng needs to do is create an environment for a smooth transition.

- The opportunity has been given to you;

- The examination, especially the literary examination, is no less than directly telling you to 'send all the bastard boys in the family and let me pick them well';

If the descendants can't mix up their personal appearance, then don't blame me, the emperor, for not taking care of you descendants.

Obviously, for Liu Sheng's 'kindness', or temporary kindness, Chang'an's meritorious relatives are very happy to appreciate it.

After the two of them left Weiyang Palace, just two hours later, Liu Sheng waited for dozens of meritorious relatives to come and ask for them outside Sima Gate.

As soon as the momentum was created, Liu Sheng also met with these 'pillars of the national dynasty' and cordially asked them what they thought of the imperial examination.

Sure enough, as Liu Sheng expected: after the reminders of Xinyang Hou Lu Tan and Guang A Hou Ren Dan, these people also reacted in hindsight, so they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and began to persuade Liu Sheng in every possible way.

- Your Majesty!

- This imperial examination, it is really an unprecedented good government!

- Such a good policy, even if it is postponed for one day, will make Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and Emperor Xianxiaojing's spirits in the sky anxious to kick open the coffin board and preside over this imperial examination by themselves!

Regarding everyone's 'alarmism', Liu Sheng laughed at himself.

Of course, Liu Sheng knows: If the imperial examination is delayed, it will never be the spirit of the previous emperors of the Han family who is in the sky, but it is precisely at this moment, in front of Liu Sheng, it is easy to talk about it, and it is necessary to persuade Liu Sheng to 'hurry up'.

But Liu Sheng didn't care;

Or: Liu Sheng is happy to be 'fooled' by these people.

"Since all the princes think so, then I ······"

"Hi;"

"I am weak and uncrowned, and I have not yet been pro-government."

"Such a big policy, it is still up to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to have the final say······"

In the end, Liu Sheng was still not too anxious to make a decision, but pretended to hesitate and knelt down in front of the nobles, all of whom kicked a ball in front of the Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who lived in Changle Palace.

But there is no doubt that as far as the imperial examination is concerned, Liu Sheng has basically dealt with the relevant vested interests, and he has easily tied a group of meritorious relatives to the carriage of 'examination'.

And this is exactly what Liu Sheng wanted to get in exchange for taking great pains and even enduring nausea, and decided to give care and privileges to the descendants of these moths.

From now on, the aristocratic class will become the core of the examination and the most important defender.

This can ensure that the imperial examination will not be like Wu Qi's change in Chu back then: people will die and the government will end······

·

"The edict said: The city of ten rooms of the husband will be faithful; The three of them are parallel, and there is my teacher. ”

"Since Emperor Gao of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty established the Han Dynasty, he has come to a good place, and there is the trouble of the Northern Barbarian Huns outside, and the disaster of the princes and vassal kings inside, and the people have a little peace of mind, but it is inevitable that they will be poisoned by more than the disaster of war."

"Fortunately, my ancestors established the Han Dynasty, and I got the one hundred and forty-five meritorious marquis, and the previous emperors of all dynasties had their relatives, mothers and uncles, so that the world could be a little peaceful and the people a little peaceful."

"However, the Han family is now in Guanzhong, Guandong, Beijing, Bashu, and Lingnan, with more than ten princes and vassal states, one hundred and ten counties, and the family of the Father's Meritorious Marquis, either they have lost the country due to crimes, or they have no heirs."

"Only the temple and the social plan are to tell the world with this edict: the ancient Youtian Qi set up a school palace under the Ji, and there are Xunzi, Han Fei and other sages."

"Today, I want to imitate the good governance of the ancients, so I will take the imperial examination, explore the talents of students with literary examinations, and choose to be a scholar to help me govern the world and Yuanyuan."

"All the people of the Han Dynasty, the dukes and the non-commercial people of the upper and lower households can be named in Chang'an before the fifth day of the seventh month of the autumn month."

"On the fifteenth day of the seventh month of autumn, Xingke took the literary examination and ······ for the country"

In the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, the servant of the confessor read Liu Sheng's edict for the third time, but he was still silent in the palace test.

At this point, this edict, which was called the "Kao Ju Nashi Edict" by later generations, officially had the legal effect because it was passed by the court three times above the court council.

From this moment on, the examination is no longer simply 'what the Son of Heaven wants to do', but the supreme decision of 'the entire Chang'an court does not oppose and is willing to cooperate'.

After the third reading of the edict passed the court discussion, Ji Di turned around and glanced at Tianzi Sheng on the royal couch with a slight request.

After Liu Sheng nodded slightly, the edict was held by Ji Di's hands and sent to Liu She in Xixi.

- According to the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, the edict of the Son of Heaven is mainly divided into two types;

The first is a 'trivial matter' that has nothing to do with the major affairs of the country and the dynasty, and the Son of Heaven himself can decide it in a word.

For example, give someone a few pieces of cloth, a few gold, or a few swords~

Or beating someone on the board, or even ordering someone to think about it behind closed doors, etc., all belong to this kind of 'trivial matter'.

On top of such a trivial matter, all the Son of Heaven needed to do was to state his general intentions, and then Shang Shulang would draft the edict according to the Son's intentions and polish it appropriately.

Then the Son of Heaven can directly send a palace person to send the edict to the recipient.

And the second kind is a 'major event' that is really related to national politics and even the survival of the temple.

On top of this kind of big thing, the Son of Heaven does not have the arbitrary right of 'I don't want you to think, I want me to feel'.

Take this time, Liu Sheng's "Examination of Nashi Edict" as an example.

At the very beginning, the young Tianzisheng tentatively let out the wind, saying that he planned to select a group of officials for the Han family through the unprecedented way of literary examination.

Then, Tian Zisheng, who was sure that the reaction of public opinion was not too violent, made a special trip to Changle Palace, and reported his motives, goals, and all the details of the plan like the actual person in charge of the Han family: Empress Dowager Dou.

With the tacit permission of the Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Sheng turned around again, and borrowed the words of Xinyang Hou Lu to talk and Guang'a Hou Ren Dan, dispelling the doubts of vested interest groups and winning the support of most people.

Subsequently, there were repeated consultations with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the details were finalized and a consensus was reached – at least with the majority.

In the end, it was determined that when this edict was promulgated, there would be no opposition inside and outside the government, and indeed no one would have doubts, and even Yang Fengyin disobeyed, Liu Shengcai obtained the consent of his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Dou, and issued the edict in today's court.

When the edict was issued and passed by the court on the third reading, it was regarded as 'the court unanimously felt that it could be done in this way, and there was nothing wrong with it';

After the third reading passed, Liu She, the right minister in charge of the seal, under the gaze of Liu Sheng and the Manchu minister, stamped the seal of the prime minister on the edict - three identical edicts.

Then, Liu Sheng also stamped the heirloom jade seal on the "Examination of Nashi Edict" in triplicate, and stood up solemnly, seeing Ji Di holding the three edicts, he didn't dare to stop a step, and went straight to Changle Palace.

When the Empress Dowager Dou has read (heard) these three edicts that have been studied word by word, and have also used seals on the edicts, can it be regarded as truly having legal effect and becoming an edict that cannot be changed, otherwise it will be suspected of 'changing the decree of the dynasty'.

As for the edict in triplicate, one will be stored in the Shiqu Pavilion of Weiyang Palace for the record, one will be kept by the Empress Dowager Dou, and the last one will be sent to all parts of the world as the 'original document' after being copied.

The examination was landed, and the ministers of the DPRK and China and the hundreds of officials also showed their joy.

- Who doesn't have a few bastards who can't do anything and can't eat?

Mo said that now, the sons of the Hou, who occupy the 'vast majority', are the only ones among them, and some are sons who have headaches, and even grandsons.

With the imperial examination, in the future, the big guys will arrange their own children and grandchildren, and they will no longer have to give up their old faces, take out money, and go everywhere to beg grandpa to sue grandma.

Perhaps it will make no difference to future generations.

But for the Han people, who regard their reputation more than their lives, the importance of the word decency is self-evident······

"If the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are gracious, the imperial examination will be regarded as a statute."

"For specific matters, the Prime Minister's Office is the mainstay, supplemented by internal history, and is responsible for all trivial matters."

"The money and food used are all spent in the small government."

The imperial examination has an eyebrow, and Liu Sheng's mood is obviously quite happy;

But happy is happy, Liu Sheng is not like back then, patronizing the cutting of the domain, but forgetting that he is still the fault of the internal history, forgetting his duty.

——As the Son of Heaven, Liu Sheng has a lot of things to consider and deal with.

Even if Liu Sheng has not yet been crowned pro-government, this is also the case.

"In the early years, Emperor Xianxiaojing changed his name to the position of the official of the county and even the secretary of the court."

"But I don't know if it's because the government decree is not working, or because the Kwantung princes and countries are doing their own thing, and the positions and ministers of the vassal states have not been uniformly customized."

"Even the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China have been called by their old names from time to time."

"——This happened because I, as a son, did not uphold the rules set by the emperor."

"Let's take advantage of today's court meeting to discuss this matter and make a charter."

Seeing Liu Sheng mention this painless matter, the ministers and officials, who were already full of joy because of the imperial examination, looked at the left and right with a relaxed face.

exchanged views with the eyes of the people around him, and reached a tacit understanding in the silence, and everyone's eyes looked at Fengchang of the public secretary train: Nanpihou Dou Pengzu.

- This matter is related to etiquette and etiquette, and in theory, Feng Chang should be responsible;

As for the fact that such a trivial matter is not painful, the ministers of the court and the central government are also happy to give the empress dowager's relatives a face······

"Taichang Nanpi Marquis Peng Zu, I would like to play Your Majesty."

"According to the changes made to the titles of the ministers and princes in the court during the reign of Emperor Xian Xiaojing, there are the following differences from the past."

"-The Minister of the DPRK and the Central Government, the three dukes remain unchanged;"

"Among the Jiuqing, the internal history, the Shaofu, the court lieutenant, the imperial servant, the guard lieutenant, the Zongzheng, and the Langzhong order are all unchanged."

"It is too often to be more common; More pawns are pawn countries. ”

"—Princes and officials, more ministers of the country, more lieutenants of lieutenants;"

"Depose the princes of the princely state of the imperial history of the princes, and deprive the princes of the power to appoint officials of a thousand stone or more."

"-Local counties, change the county guard to the Taishou, and change the county lieutenant to the metropolitan lieutenant;"

"Compared with the county guard, the Taishou no longer has any right to interrogate the county soldiers; Compared with the county lieutenant, the lieutenant no longer has the ability to interrogate and persuade the county in anything other than military affairs. ”

"The county lieutenant is completely compared to the post of 'lieutenant' of the lieutenant general of the army, only for the military position, and does not ask about internal governance."

"However, due to the perennial restlessness of the border passes, Emperor Xianxiaojing issued a special order: the three counties of Longyou, Beidi, Yanmen, and Yunzhong are still guarded by the county, and the second and third departments are allowed to have the second and third ······"

During the reign of the first emperor, all the changes in the names of official positions were revealed, and after carefully recalling for a moment to make sure that he had not missed anything, Dou Pengzu bowed down, and then Shi Shiran returned to his position.

On the royal couch, Liu Sheng only smiled and nodded, and then looked at everyone in the hall easily.

"What do you think?"

"Do I need to ask the Queen Mother to issue an edict to regulate the ministers of the court, the princes, and the county chiefs?"

The half-smiling words only caused a kind chuckle to sound in the hall, and the atmosphere was inexplicably relaxed.

After a short time, the ministers and hundreds of officials sent three or five representatives, and you didn't say a word, but you said politely, and I politely said a word, and the matter was also settled.

——From now on, the Chang'an court will strictly follow the changes made during the reign of the first emperor, calling Nanpihou Dou Pengzu Taichang and Pingqu Marquis Gongsun Kunxi as a canonical vassal state.

As for the vassal kings, they each sent an informal document, euphemistically reminding the princes and kings to abide by the regulations of the previous emperor and standardize the official titles of officials in the country.

In the end, since the words 'Minister of the DPRK and China' were mentioned, the question that had been delayed for a long time was put on the table by smart people.

——The second post of Imperial Doctor and Shaofu has been idle since the time when the Northland Shouchao was wrongly released and the Taohou Liu Sheguan worshiped the prime minister······
