All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 76 Palace selection?
On the top of the mountain, the cold wind howled, and with so many tombs, I always felt a little panicked.

After walking two steps forward, Qin Tianjian has not yet climbed up, so he has to wait.

Ling Xiao pulled his clothes, and the guards were guarding him, so he had nothing to do. The tombstone was full of meritorious deeds.

I simply walked over and looked at them piece by piece. They were nothing more than bragging, but none of them were bad anyway.

As soon as Qin Tianjian came up, he saw that Ling Xiao was so unreasonable. This was disobedience to his ancestors, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not."

Ling Xiao was not frightened by the eerie atmosphere, but was startled by the trembling voice.

Sitting on the ground, he turned to look at Qin Tianjian.

"Your Majesty, don't take a close look at the tombstone of the first emperor."

What's more, Your Majesty, your feet are on it.

Ling Xiao silently retracted his foot, but Zac didn't notice it just now.

"Keep your voice down."

The ceremony is nothing more than kneeling three times and prostrating nine times. After finishing it with difficulty, we will go down.

It was extremely cumbersome. Looking at Jananfeng next to her, she also turned pale.

"Let's go back!"

Ling Xiao didn't know about the support of the people, but it was Li Dequan who said later that he sat in a sedan chair and slept soundly.

He was carried to Zichen Hall and put on the dragon bed.

The next morning morning, because they were too tired, they said they were sick and did not go.

It was already noon when I woke up, and this was the first time I came to Daqi Dynasty, and I had a good night's sleep.

After stretching, I felt pain all over my body. As expected, my arms and legs were useless.

With Li Dequan's support, he got up slowly, breathing out in pain, and finished washing.

As for the Shulan Palace, it might not be easy, but fortunately there is no queen mother in the palace, so there is no need to go to say hello.

Otherwise, Jananfeng's body would definitely not be able to bear the tossing and tossing.

Just as he was thinking about it, Dong Zhuo came in, taking Nangong Taiwei with him, the two of them looked like this, could it be that they were asking the teacher for their crimes?

Ling Xiao was a little puzzled, anyway, it doesn't matter if he is in the court, why does he have to go to the court?

As soon as he entered, Dong Zhuo bowed to Nangong Taiwei because he was in the way.

Ling Xiao was in a much better mood, pinched his shoulders and asked, "What's wrong with you guys here?"

"I asked Li Dequan to send a message this morning. I won't go to the morning court. If there is something wrong, I will talk about it tomorrow."

In a word, I want to send these two people away.

I was still a little puzzled, taking Nangong Taiwei as an example, he would not stand in any camp, following Dong Zhuo today, could it be that he wants to intervene in the harem?
Just as he was thinking about it, Nangong Taiwei knelt down neatly, with an old-fashioned look.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for your boldness. Now that the palace election is approaching once every three years, this is a big matter that needs to be decided by the Emperor."

Dong Zhuo stood aside, squinting at it with disdain.

As far as the emperor, he only remembers to eat every day, and knows about government affairs, maybe he doesn't even know what the palace election is?

Ling Xiao really didn't understand, he froze for a moment, ate the pastry on the table, and asked blankly, "What is a palace selection, and is it important?"

It's not bad to be one day away, it's been three years, and it's just one day away?
Could it be that, giving him a harem, but also keeping women at bay?
Feeling a little angry, let Dong Zhuo make trouble, why did Nangong Taiwei also participate in it?
Nangong Taiwei glanced at the emperor in disbelief, realized that he was impolite, and quickly lowered his head.

The emperor was not selected by the former emperor, he was raised in the field since he was a child, so it is normal not to know, so he explained: "The palace selection is once every three years, and the best students from various places, as well as the children of the aristocratic family, are selected to enter the palace to work. , contributed to the stability of the Great Qi Dynasty."

As soon as he heard the explanation, Ling Xiao understood, isn't this just an exam, choosing students, and becoming an official in the court?

However, this is not fair. Children from aristocratic families can be hereditary and can go through the back door. As for those students from poor families, the chance of entering every year should be extremely slim.

What's more, Dong Zhuo and others control the government, and they will not let people who do not belong to them enter the government.

This time the palace election is particularly important.

If Dong Zhuo and the others took action to install people in the palace, there would be less and less news for him to hear above the Golden Luan Hall.

However, if he seized the opportunity, the Golden Luan Palace would not be so passive.

Besides, one Cheng Yaojin is definitely not enough.

Wanting to understand all this, he seemed to be unintentional and said, "What did the former emperor do in the past?"

When the first emperor was here, he must have had some ability to control Dong Zhuo and others and balance the forces of all parties.

Hearing Ling Xiao mentioned the former emperor, Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes, the former emperor was wise, but the current emperor wants to imitate the former emperor, he is really beyond his control.

Dong Zhuo raised his voice and said, "When the late emperor was here, the officials from all parties would select and present to the Golden Luan Hall, and the emperor would choose."

When we arrived at the Golden Luan Hall, almost all the adults had bribed them.

The first emperor turned a blind eye, but he understood in his heart.

As for this trash emperor, it's really hard to say.

Nangong Taiwei was in charge of the annual palace election, but he was afraid of the waste emperor and gave the spot to Wang Mang and others, so he had to come and listen in person.

Ling Xiao felt like a bright mirror in his heart. Once those people were dragged to the Golden Temple, he would have no chance at all to find loyal courtiers to him.

It must be done before this, since he is ridiculous, it is even more ridiculous.

"I'm different from the former emperor. I like to be lively. I heard that every year in the capital, the Imperial Academy will hold a Mohism Competition, and scholars from all over the world will come. It's quite interesting. I think this year, I will choose from the Imperial Academy."

"Students from poor families are allowed to enter, and everything will be handled by the Imperial Academy and Nangong Taiwei."

Most of the outstanding talents in the capital come from the Hanlin Academy. It must be easy to find civil servants here, and there are so many people, depending on their loyalty, you can choose a few suitable ones.

Dong Zhuo frowned. The Imperial Academy has always been neutral, and those literati have always regarded themselves as noble and will not be bought by any force.

In particular, Lin Ziye, the dean of the Hanlin Academy, had been an official in the court during the reign of the late emperor. At that time, the Hanlin Academy belonged to the government school.

The former emperor was gone, and the young emperor was in power. The dean Lin Ziye was dissatisfied with the mess of the Jinluan Palace, so he directly led the Imperial Academy to withdraw from the palace.

Now, even children from poor families can enter it.

Last year, the little emperor wanted to demolish the Hanlin Academy because of Lin Ziye. The reason was that he looked down on the imperial palace.

As a result, Lin Ziye moved out the plaque bestowed by the late emperor, and abruptly went out independently.

The Imperial Academy is independent, and it is not good for the children of the official family. In the past, Lin Ziye turned a blind eye to the children of the official family and let them in.

Since independence, the children of the official family have a bad habit and do not accept them. It can be said that they are unique. In this capital, no one has moved.

Nangong Taiwei also knew the rumors back then that Lin Ziye was dissatisfied with the little emperor's rule, how could he welcome him, even if he went by himself, it would be a shame.
