In fact, Mrs. Yun meant that she was afraid that others would say that she occupied the position of the Empress Dowager Liang, and she was in Yong'an Palace, at least psychologically comfortable.

Where would Liu Zhi think about so many twists and turns, the birth mother of the Son of Heaven, which dynasty and which generation, and who is also a serious queen mother, who dares to object?

When he returned to Beigong in the evening, he was just about to get in the car, Deng Meng suddenly said "ouch" and stopped, and the palace people next to him were startled and hurriedly grabbed to help.

"What's wrong? But what's the discomfort? ”

Liu Zhi also asked with concern, at this time, the level of medical care is low, and a woman's pregnancy and childbirth depend on luck, and there will be a lot of danger in any situation. Grabbing

"No, it's just that this kid was naughty and kicked me twice."

Deng Meng's expression was very gentle, with some first-time motherly love.

"Huh? How old is it, will it move? Liu Zhi was a little surprised.

"It's been almost six months, and my strength is quite strong."

Deng Meng was full of hopes that he would have a healthy and strong son in his womb, and Liu Zhi also knew that as an ancient emperor, he must have a legitimate successor as soon as possible to reassure the people.

However, there is no way to decide for yourself to have a boy or a girl, and the impression in history seems that Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty has only one son, and he died halfway, and in the end, Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, will be established.

Since then, he has changed a lot of established historical trajectories, and I believe this will be different.

The Yuan Day celebration of the third year of Jianhe was the first big pilgrimage since he took office, and it was of great significance to Liu Zhi.

Before the sky was clear, Liu Zhi had already gotten up and began to prepare, until the night leaked for seven minutes, the New Year's bell rang, and the emperor's guard of honor slowly entered the court in a solemn atmosphere.

The Great Dynasty is different from the usual court meeting, all the princes, ministers, princes, etc. in the Beijing Division, as well as all the officials of the Beijing Division of 2,000 stones, 1,000 stones, 600 stones, and 400 stones, must enter the palace.

The officials of the counties and states in Beijing, and all the foreign envoys and protons in Beijing should also enter the court to congratulate.

However, only officials and princes with more than 2,000 stone were eligible to go to the palace, and the rest of the people stood in a line outside the palace.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

The thunderous cry sounded, Liu Zhigao sat down, looked at the black and oppressive head in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of mission that he had never felt before.

Here is his palace, his courtiers, and the vast expanse of land outside, his country and land.

Since then, he has been working hard to survive, and has never stopped to think about what God arranged for him to come to this world.

Is there any special mission given to him?

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little in a trance, was this really the late Eastern Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago? Could it be just a parallel world?

The rising sunlight was refracted into the main hall through the glazed tiles, and it was falling in front of the throne, Liu Zhi took a deep breath and slowly raised the wine bud in his hand.

The clear liquor swayed in the sunlight into countless pieces of gold, both real and illusory. At this moment, the music sounded, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

Sikong Yuan Tang stepped up to the hall and served a pot of soup to the emperor, the new chief Si Nong Feng Qi served a bowl of rice, and the musician played the joy of eating.

The ceremony was completed, marking the official beginning of the banquet, and a group of dancing girls sang and danced lightly, so that all the ministers who had just raised their wine glasses were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

Singing and dancing is the standard configuration of banquets, naturally there is nothing unusual, and such solemn occasions as the Great Morning Congratulations are mostly elegant and soothing singing and dancing.

But today's dance is really new, whether it is the trousers sprinkled with wrinkled feet, or the narrow sleeves that cling to the arms, there has never been one, and the cheerful dance steps of the dancers are also refreshing.

But to be honest, although it's a little weird, it's quite eye-catching, and this kind of outfit looks more graceful with a waist and limbs, and it is more unrestrained in its movements.

It was probably a new thing from the Western Regions again, and the ministers quickly reined in their minds and began to congratulate His Majesty calmly.

In fact, this costume Liu Zhi refers to the modern antique dance Dunhuang, with a round neckline and waist, arms and thighs are relatively slim, and it is trumpet-shaped at the wrists and ankles. 巘戅vertex:xIndInGdIanxswCom戅

With the flying fairy bun on the top of the head, the graceful posture reveals a fluttering fairy spirit, and the rhythm of the flying dance steps is really pleasing to the eye.

He had been paying attention to the reactions of his courtiers, and when he saw that everyone did not look disgusted or displeased, he already had a plan in his heart.

If there is anything in the Han Empire that he is most accustomed to, it must be clothing.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the hundreds of years of curved deep clothes have gradually withdrawn from the fashion stage, and they will only be worn on formal occasions.

Nowadays, it is popular to wear straight deep clothes, and women also have a few skirts, but what remains unchanged is the shin shirt inside, that is, crotchless pants, which are actually two trouser tubes directly on the legs, and then tied with ribbons.

Therefore, the men of the Han Dynasty have wide robes and big sleeves, elegant and graceful, and the women's long skirts are swaying to the ground, which looks full of fairy spirit, but the inside is smooth, is it very beautiful?

Liu Zhi is very unaccustomed to this bad habit, and he himself has been letting Shaofu make linen underwear to wear since he was in power.

Because there was no elastic band, the waistband of the trousers was knotted with a ribbon, and a horizontal crotch was added to the crotch according to the modern method.

While not as comfortable and snug as modern panties, it's better than a bare ass.

Driven by him, Liang Meng also changed to new-style underwear, and in order to keep warm, he also put trousers with crotch under the long skirt.

Liu Zhi even introduced the completely novel thing of the button, but so far, it has not been promoted.

It is estimated that many people think that there were no crotch pants in the Han Dynasty, but in fact, there is, that is, the calf nose robe, which is very similar to the modern five-point casual pants, and it is said that the wearing history can be traced back to the Neolithic Age.

But in the Han Dynasty, it was the standard for the inferior and common people, and was worn only by farmers, servants, and sergeants for ease of work.

When Sima Xiangru eloped with Zhuo Wenjun and opened a wine shop in Chengdu, Zhuo Wenjun was selling wine, and Sima Xiangru wore a calf nose robe and washed the wine utensils with the servants, which was so insulting that the old father-in-law Zhuo Wangsun was half angry.

Therefore, it is very difficult to promote underwear and trousers in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is very strict, and if it is not done well, it will cause a big controversy in morality and etiquette.

But Liu Zhi has been the emperor for more than three years, and he has already figured out some tricks.

It is said that at that time, it was not only the palace maids who were hungry to death, but many ministers were so hungry that their eyes were dizzy, just to make themselves look slimmer.

Grabbing. The emperor's preferences can drive the trend to a large extent, so he intends to practice and personally act as the spokesperson for the trousers.

Use practical actions to change the behavior and habits of the Han aristocracy.

Of course, changing your dress habits is a small thing, but there are many times when some inadvertent small details can quietly change social concepts.

Therefore, he plans to start from small things such as eating habits and dressing habits to change the thinking of the Han people little by little.

Liu Zhi, who had been in the peace industry for three years, changed his previous caution and forbearance, and began to ambitiously accelerate the pace of reform.

After the end of the court, he left the Taiwei and other important ministers.

"I discussed with Taiwei the day before yesterday, and I took advantage of the first day to prepare an edict to fix the big examination system.

One year of the county examination, two years of the state examination, three years of the palace examination, where the county examination quota does not need to be recommended, you can register for the examination. ”

Huang Qiong was stunned, he had indeed discussed this matter with the emperor before, but it was not determined at that time, why was he suddenly going to issue an edict?

According to the results of this big examination, the recommendation system is indeed somewhat redundant, not to mention that His Majesty has also retained the recommendation system for special talents.

And so far, the emperor has not touched the official inspection system, which is a major matter of interest.

Shang Shu Ling Yuan Xuan was the first to stand up and agree, "The talents admitted in this big examination have real materials and extraordinary results, and I think this move is feasible." ”

"The minister thinks that there are still drawbacks in the big examination system, since ancient times, the talent is the main act of virtue, so all the way to the exam, if the person has talent but no virtue, is it not infinitely harmful?"

The questions raised by Situ Yinxun are also very practical and represent the opinions of some ministers.

He had already thought about this question, so naturally it would not be difficult for him, Liu Zhi was as steady as Mount Tai and answered calmly.

"This is easy to do, when the county examination is registered, those who have special evil deeds will not be admitted, and after the palace examination, Cao and Long Linwei will conduct a moral review of all candidates, and they will be removed if they find problems.

Similarly, if someone reports a malicious embarrassment candidate, those who are found to be true will be severely punished. ”

Since the big exam will be completed in three years, unlike this time, which is too rushed, there is plenty of time for various assessment reviews, so it is not difficult to implement these suggestions.

"As for the details of the big exam, the Taiwei will explain it to you later, and you will cooperate and discuss, draw up a charter, and hand it over to Shangshutai for distribution."

When he said this, everyone thought that this order was made jointly with the captain, and they did not object much, and naturally accepted it.

Only Huang Qiong knew the roots, so she canceled the recommendation on the same day, and the two couldn't hold each other, and they couldn't reach a consensus in the end.

But Liu Zhi unilaterally decided to issue an edict, and the time was still so urgent, didn't this force him to agree?

Reform of the assessment system, he put forward it at the beginning, and it was also his wish for many years, although there was some progress when he was in Emperor Shun of Han, but later Liang Ji took power, and everything was overthrown.

Now that he finally met an emperor who is willing to reform completely, and even does better than he imagined, if he opposes it at this time, will all his efforts come to naught?

He is too old to have time to wait, and if he misses this time, I am afraid that there will be no hope in this life.

Huang Qiong acted decisively and decisively in his life, but at this time he fell into hesitation, and before he could clear his thoughts, Liu Zhi left directly in the name of the family banquet in the evening.

Gotcha, don't think about it, just send it, didn't Your Majesty also take a step back and hand over all the details to himself.

"Captain, how did you discuss with Your Majesty that day, report it first, and I'll carefully consider it one by one."

Yuan Xuan asked as he walked out, pulling Huang Qiong's thoughts back, and hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I'll discuss it with you later." ”

Everyone went straight to the Taiwei Mansion and listened to Huang Qiong elaborate on the details of the system.

"Your Majesty and I both believe that restrictions such as the Ming Jing Department and the Mao Cai Department should be abolished, and in order to reduce the pressure of the county examination, you can first go through the child test, and obtain the qualification called Tong Sheng, before you can participate in the county test.

The prefectural examination is held every autumn, and after passing it, you can be called Maocai, and enjoy the privilege of exemption from forced labor and military service. ”

Maocai is equal to the Xiucai of other eras, also known as Xiucai in the Western Han Dynasty, which means the talent of the show, and the name was changed to this name when Emperor Guangwu avoided Liu Xiu's name.

As a descendant of Emperor Guangwu, it is naturally impossible to change it back.

This new children's test is considered to solve the pressure of the county test, which is more reasonable, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"After the county examination, the state examination is held in the spring of the following year, and those who are admitted are called Juzi, and on the basis of Maocai, they enjoy the privilege of exempting 30 acres of land.

By the time of the Beijing examination in August of the third year, those who are admitted are called Jinshi. ”

Sure enough, it was already very detailed, Yuan Tang thought for a while and asked, "Did Your Majesty say that the expropriation system was abolished?" ”

Huang Qiong shook her head, "That's not true, Your Majesty has never said that you will cancel the conquest system." ”

XinDingDianX&#戅. As a result of this reform, the recommendation system has completely disappeared, and another important channel for the Han Dynasty, the conquest system, is still far-reaching among traditional scribes.

Many important officials of the imperial court embarked on their careers through the conquest system, such as Fang Zhi, Li Gu and Li Ying.

The Han Dynasty's expropriation system is very strict, and under normal circumstances, the people who are recruited are all famous people with a good reputation, and they are outstanding in both talent and virtue.

Therefore, in the history of the Han Dynasty, many famous ministers relied on this to enter the official career.

"Regarding the imperial examination system, oh, Your Majesty named it like that, what do you have any opinions?"

This is a major event that she has been thinking about for a lifetime, and Huang Qiong naturally wants to determine it as soon as possible, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

"I still have a question, after the state examination last year, it was arranged by the imperial court to enter Beijing, will it be an old example in the future, or is it different?"

These things are all within Shang Shutai's scope of responsibility, so he naturally has to ask clearly.

"Your Majesty didn't mention it, what do you think?"

Huang Qiong asked.

"I think this case should be abolished, there was a reason for the incident last year, but for a long time, it has cost the people and money, and even occupied military supplies, and the imperial court may not be able to afford it."

Feng Qi, the chief of the gods, immediately raised objections, he was the official in charge of the imperial court's financial expenditures, and the cost of the big examination was huge, which made the already poor state of the imperial court's finances even worse.

His words did make sense, but Shaofu Fang Zhi was worried, "But if the court leaves it alone, how will those children of the poor family go to Beijing to take the exam?" You can't let them come over, the mountains and rivers are far away, and they are prone to accidents. ”

Both sides make sense, and they are both based on the actual situation, Yuan Xuan frowned.

"If this is not the case, as long as it can be proved that the family is really poor and difficult to raise the road expenses, the county government will open a document, pay the fee in advance, and if it is found to be true, it will be returned."

Most of the candidates are children of wealthy families, and only a few are from poor families.

Yuan Xu's idea is a perfect solution to the dilemma, which will not overburden the imperial court and will not let the candidates give up because of their poverty.
