Considering the stability of the northern steppes and the fact that there would be no new Turkic khanates against the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing decided to hand over the matter of disposing of the captives to Li Xian.

As the Son of Heaven, it was the emperor's right to dispose of the captives after the sacrifice of the captives.

Everyone in the world knows that I, the regent, am a loyal minister and loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

As a loyal servant, he just sat and watched!

"Your Majesty, the matter of disposing of the captives will be judged by Your Majesty!"

Li Jing said to Li Xian.

Li Xian's face was gloomy, and he suddenly felt that it was a dog!

Li Jing, a bastard, an authoritarian rebellious minister and thief, would have such a good intention to let him, the emperor, preside over the disposal of prisoners, this is obviously a pit, if you want me to jump down, there is no door.

Under Li Jing's constant signals, Li Xian looked at the silent sip under the Xing'an Sect and the nobles of the Later Turkic Khanate, and Li Xian made a decision.

Then kill Mo Si and the other nobles of the post-Turkic Khanate!

"All of them will be beheaded!"

Hearing Li Xian's order to kill them all, Mo Si and the others were suddenly terrified!

"Your Majesty, wait!"

After hearing this, Li Jing hurriedly stopped it loudly, Li Xian's performance was over, and it was his turn to shine.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that in the first year of Yongchun, the first emperor did not tolerate Ashina Funian who surrendered, but killed him, and the Turkic nobles were very angry, and the Turkic Tutun sluggled 700 people to rebel against the Tang Dynasty."

"Later, I summoned the remnants of Fu Nian to seize Heisha City, Gu Lulu established himself as a khan, repeatedly violated the border of the Tang Dynasty, captured Mobei, and established the Later Turkic Khanate, which became the border trouble of my Tang Dynasty."

"Now, does Your Majesty want to repeat the mistakes of the previous emperor? I also ask Your Majesty to save the world from the suffering of war, and ask Your Majesty to retract your order and forgive the sins of the Turkic nobles such as Mo Si!"

Li Jing shouted loudly, making his voice audible to Mo Si and the others.

Let them understand that they can survive because of his Li Jing's credit, otherwise they would have died a long time ago, and they must know how to be grateful, especially for saving lives!

Li Jing's superb acting skills, if he hadn't known him, Li Xian would have almost woken up.

In this case, Li Xian had already thought of it!

Although Li Xian hated Li Jing very much in his heart, he had to cooperate with Li Jing.

"The regent is right, it is inevitable that His Majesty will suffer from the war again, I have decided to forgive Mo Si and others, and how to deal with it will be handed over to the regent!"

After Li Xian finished speaking, he got up and walked downstairs towards Xing'an Gate.

The temperament is so big, and when you turn your head, you don't know how to be polite!

After Li Xian left, Li Jing announced the disposition of Mo Si, Li Jing canonized Mo Si as the Khan of Qianshan, granted him the post of General of the Left Guard, arranged a house for him in Chang'an, put Mo Si under house arrest, and other Turkic nobles were also given some false positions and were placed under house arrest with Mo Si.

With the end of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, the next step is to officially enter the link of rewarding meritorious deeds!

Li Jing met with Lan Yu, Li Duozuo, Zong Hu and others in the Xuanzheng Palace, and Lan Yu handed Li Jing a merit book, which recorded the military exploits of the soldiers!

This time, after the rebellion of the Turkic Khanate after the pacification of Lanyu, he made great contributions, and when he was the first to make the contribution, Li Jing canonized Lanyu as the Duke of Liangguo, awarded the post of General Zuo Weiwei, gave thousands of silk horses, and sealed 500 households.

Li Duozuo conferred the post of General of Youyang Yingwei and was canonized as the Duke of Liaoyang with 300 households, and Zonghu awarded the post of General of Zuoyang Yingwei and was canonized as the Duke of Hengguo with 300 households.

"Thank you, Lord Regent!"

The three of them saluted and thanked them!

The rest of the people had different rewards, and everyone was very satisfied, and once again thanked Li Jing for the reward.

Next is the celebration banquet, which is also an indispensable part of the victory of the army and the triumphant return.

The celebration banquet was held until late at night, and everyone was already drunk, and even Li Jing himself didn't know how to get back to his room.

……

In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and Li Jing ushered in his first imperial examination since taking power.

With Li Jing's science and technology tree full, a trace of industrial rudiments appeared in the land of Datang.

Under Li Jing's instructions, the hydraulic forging press was made and began to be put into production, and even the steelmaking furnace outside the original hall was improved.

The first steam train in Datang has also been successfully built, and the railway from Chang'an to Dongdu has also been completed.

During this period, Li Jing also secretly trained a group of secret agents, who were responsible for secretly monitoring the activities of civil and military officials and royal clans.

"The day of this year's autumn exam is approaching, how are you preparing?"

Li Jing asked.

The imperial examination is the fairest and most cruel system, which can select talents for the Tang Dynasty and is the only way for the promotion of poor disciples, so Li Jing attaches great importance to the imperial examination.

"Qiqi Regent, the officials are ready, and the exam questions have been prepared."

Shangshu's right servant shot, and Shangshu Wei of the Ministry of Officials stood up and saluted with crossed hands.

The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty was presided over by the Ministry of Officials, and after Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty became the emperor, the examination rights of the Ministry of Officials were transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and the imperial examination was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites in the future.

"In this year's autumn examination, in addition to the palace examination of the king himself, the provincial examination is no longer conducted by the Ministry of Officials alone, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites jointly produce test questions and jointly invigilate the examination."

Li Jing gave half of the examination power to the Ministry of Rites.

"Obey orders!"

Fan Lubing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and saluted with his hands crossed, he decided that he wanted to behave well and not let the regent down.

"You go back and think about it, prepare the test questions separately, send them to the palace of this king to seal, and wait until the day of the scientific examination, when you come to take the exam questions away, this king will enter the palace and ask Your Majesty for instructions!"

Li Jing said.

"Yes!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials stood up and saluted and withdrew.

The Ministry of Rites got this opportunity and vowed to perform well and strive for a good start to the first invigilation, so it was full of enthusiasm.

After Fan Lubing returned, he immediately convened all the officials of the Ministry of Rites to discuss what the topic of this imperial examination was?

Someone suggested sending someone to the ministry to inquire about the information and see what test questions would come out of the ministry there, and according to the test questions from the ministry of officials, it would not be too late to come up with questions again.

was opposed by Fan Lubing, this kind of cheating, Fan Lubing is not allowed to happen in the Ministry of Rites he manages, this time Li Jing handed over half of the main examination power to the Ministry of Rites, which is a trust in the Ministry of Rites, how can he engage in these cheating tricks behind his back.

Finally, after some discussion, the topics of the imperial examination were finally determined, and Fan Lubing personally sealed the examination questions and personally led people to send the examination questions to Li Jing's mansion.

The Ministry of Officials is also full of energy, this time Li Jing divided half of the main examination power to the Ministry of Rites, which is a wake-up call to the Ministry of Officials, it must be that the Ministry of Officials has not been active enough in their work recently, so that it has aroused the regent's disgust.

After Wei waits for the price to go back, he immediately summons his subordinates to give a lecture, so that they can cheer up their spirits, and if he finds out who is passive and slacking off, he will be severely punished!

Then the exam questions were reformulated and sent to Li Jing's house.
