Empress Wang was very happy with Xiao Mingcheng's arrival. Over the past ten years, the emperor's love for Xiao Mingcheng was the only one in the palace. Not only did he change his name, but he also gave him frequent favors.Fortunately, his frail body was placed there, even though the name Li Hong made people think a little more, but he just muttered a few words secretly, and he didn't think that His Royal Highness Dai Wang could really accomplish anything.

On the bright side, His Royal Highness Daiwang is the prince most wanted by the concubines in the harem, second only to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so we only hope that His Royal Highness Daiwang can speak well in front of the emperor.

Every time she saw the flattering face of the women in the harem, Queen Wang was secretly proud of it. It was her wit that won over Li Hong back then.Although his favor was beyond her expectations, it was beneficial to her current situation.

Who is Li Zhi's harem, there is an extra woman from Fanyang Lu's family, which can be called her confidant's serious trouble.Although Li Xi is still young and Li Rui has just grown up, Li Zhi still has more than ten years to live.

Li Zhi is the emperor, and his luck value causes the medicines and props produced by the system to weaken a lot, or even have no effect.Li Zhi was not the Wu Zetian back then, and he couldn't kill him with a single dose of medicine.By the time Li Zhi died, Li Xi was in his 20s, with the support of his eldest grandson Wuji and other assistant ministers. Even if Li Rui occupied the orthodox position, he would not be able to sit firmly on the throne.

Li Rui could not sit firmly on the throne, and her empress dowager's power would be weakened, and the completion of the main task would be far away.

What annoyed the Queen especially was that those old guys like Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were still alive!

In the original historical process, Changsun Wuji and others were hated by Wu Zetian because they opposed the abolition of Wang Liwu. Xianqing was accused of treason in the fourth year and died by hanging himself.

Hanging himself is considered a violent death, not the end of his life, so after the change in the past, Changsun Wuji easily passed the death calamity of that year, and he is still alive and well, fighting against the Wang family with vigor.

Queen Wang was about to die of anger. If she hadn't killed Wu Zetian decisively back then, Changsun Wuji would not be alive and kicking now.As a result, the eldest grandson Wuji, who defended the orthodox position of queen and queen, stood behind Concubine Lu De, wanting to help Lu Shi and Li Xi to the throne.

What kind of loyal minister's humerus, bah, it's clearly greedy for profit!

Angrily cursing Changsun Wuji and the others in her heart, while Queen Wang showed a gentle smile on her face, with only a little melancholy on her brows.

Xiao Mingcheng knew very well that this trace of melancholy was specially made for him to see.

Xiao Mingcheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with concern: "His Royal Highness, you...have you...have you been feeling unwell recently?" Xiao Mingcheng hesitated to speak, and asked hesitantly. After all, he is only a concubine prince, although he seems to have a good relationship with the queen , but in the end it is not personal, some words should not be too transgressive.

"I'm fine." Queen Wang squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand, concealing her authenticity, "Don't worry, Hong'er."

Xiao Mingcheng pursed his lips slightly, and with this posture of trying to cover up, is he bullying him blind?Dare to pretend to be more obvious!

Xiao Mingcheng followed his character that had always stood out from outsiders, and he didn't ask what happened to Queen Wang in a daze. Instead, he suppressed his doubts very intimately, and turned to care about Queen Wang's body, and he got up and said goodbye not long after.

When Xiao Mingcheng left the Lizheng Hall, he glanced at the accompanying servants.

The servant understood, bowed and stepped back.

Xiao Mingcheng stood at the corner outside the Lizheng Hall. Not long after, the maid who was close to Queen Wang was brought over by the servants.

"Nubai see His Royal Highness Dai Wang, Your Highness Wan'an."

"En." Xiao Mingcheng didn't bother to detour with Queen Wang's people, and said directly: "His Royal Highness is unhappy, but what happened?"

"This..." The maid hesitated to speak, as if hesitating.

Xiao Mingcheng sighed in his heart, this kind of trick has been played back and forth many times, haven't the people in the Lizheng Palace played enough?

"This king will not let others know, this news is revealed from you."

"... Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity." The maidservant breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately repeated what the chief servant had told her.

It turned out that in October last year, the Yellow River flooded in autumn and flooded countless fertile fields in downstream towns.Liu Shuang, the eldest son of Liu Shi, uncle of Queen Wang, was ordered to provide relief, but embezzled most of the money.The lower-level officials exploited them layer by layer, and very little money actually fell on the victims.The victims had no food to eat, and they rioted when they couldn't bear it anymore.Liu Shuang asked troops to suppress and killed many victims.

After Liu Xi learned of this, although he hated his son's stupidity, he put his evil thoughts on the disaster relief money.But that's it, he's just such a son.Once this matter is exposed, the son will have to shed a layer of skin if he is lucky enough to survive.

Liu Xun had no choice but to send someone to wipe out the traces, calling the slaughtered victims as thieves. After returning to Beijing, Liu Shuang was rewarded by the emperor for cleaning up the thieves.

However, the Skynet was restored, and the people sent by Liu Shi failed to kill all the survivors, and the pair of brothers who survived were rescued by the people from Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji forbears it, and let the emperor reward Liu Shuang to see that he is proud of the spring breeze, while secretly collecting evidence that Liu Shuang embezzled the disaster money and slaughtered the victims to pretend to be bandits.It is not a pity that Liu Shuang died, but what Changsun Wuji wanted to deal with was Liu Shuang's father Liu Shi and the Hedong Liu family behind them.

The downfall of Liu Shi is not enough to bring down the entire Hedong Liu family, but it is still possible to implicate the officials from the Hedong Liu family and get a bad reputation, and drive them away from the power center of the court.

Regardless of whether Liu Shuang was greedy for profit alone or not, Changsun Wuji was ready to put the shit pot on the head of the entire Liu family, and the Liu family's in-laws, the Taiyuan Wang family, would not even think about running away.

For this reason, the officials of Changsun Wuji's lineage put all their efforts into holding all the scandals of the Liu family and the Wang family, no matter how big or small, as long as they were real scandals.

Just yesterday, officials from Changsun Wuji's faction wrote a letter, blatantly launching an attack, exposing Liu Shuang's various evil deeds in disaster relief, which caused an uproar in the court and the emperor was furious.

For the sake of Queen Wang, and Liu Shuang tremblingly calling for his own injustice, the emperor did not convict him immediately, but tried his best to calm down, temporarily imprisoned Liu Shuang and the people involved in the case in Dali Temple, and ordered the third magistrate.

Of course, the palace maid sent by Queen Wang was very skillful in her speech. She did not commit the crime of killing Liu Shuang. What she said was that Changsun Wuji and others deliberately framed Liu Shuang and wanted to hit him with it. The power of the Liu family in the court, the Liu family was wronged, and Liu Shuang was wronged.

Xiao Mingcheng's face sank like water, and he scoffed coldly in his heart.

How did Queen Wang know that he, who seemed to be far away from the court and didn't even know a single major event in the court, was the one with the best news.Changsun Wuji has a lot of selfishness, and he always wants to hold onto the power when he is old, but he has not wronged Liu Shuang.

Liu Shuang's crimes cannot be punished.

"This king knows about it." Xiao Mingcheng said in a deep voice, "Father, Emperor Shengming, will definitely not wrong anyone." After a pause, he continued, "His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, Liu Weiwei is her nephew, and he will definitely not do anything wrong." Those things are not as good as pigs and dogs. This king will go to find his father now."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the maidservants to respond, Xiao Mingcheng flicked his sleeves and walked towards the Manna Hall.

The palace maid felt that everything was going well, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned back to the hall to report, but Xiao Mingcheng, who strode away from the Lizheng Hall, had cold eyes and showed no impulsivity at all.

Queen Wang couldn't sit still anymore.

It's good if you can't sit still, and only when you become more and more unable to sit still, will she keep exchanging those points with the small bucket for things that will be dumb in his hands.As far as Xiao Mingcheng knew, Queen Wang had already started to owe credit points to Xi Tong.

The thin barrel will not always be with the king and queen, the main mission is far away, and the side missions are just difficult to complete. As time goes by, the points will not make ends meet.When more and more credit points are owed, what kind of ending will Queen Wang usher in?

Xiao Mingcheng's pupils were indifferent.

***

Liu Shuang's incident alarmed the government and the public, and the Holy Majesty personally issued an order to order the three magistrates to investigate the whole story and confirm the authenticity of the evidence presented. However, the date of the interrogation was postponed to late February, obviously to make way for Chunwei.

Xiao Mingcheng said he wanted to clear Liu Shuang's name, but he knew what Liu Shuang had committed, so naturally he would not plead for mercy against his conscience.When he returned to Ganlu Hall, he just came up with an idea and wanted to tell his father.

"The imperial examination?" Li Zhi looked at Ai Zi who had gone and returned, thinking about his suggestion.

"Aye examines people in front of the hall, and those who pass the test are disciples of the emperor, so that the new division Jinshi will not get too close to the chief examiner."

The Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty system, and once every three years, he opened a course to obtain a scholar, but in the past forty years, he has absorbed countless new blood for the court.However, literati are very polite, not only Jinshi of the same subject and rank will call each other the same year, and they will watch and help each other after becoming an official, and they will also call the examiner at that time a teacher.Over time, officials who have been examiners for several times are full of peaches and plums, and when they meet in court in the future, those "students" always pay respect to their teachers.

The imperial examination has not been implemented for a long time, but there are already signs of forming parties through the imperial examination in the court.

Of course, the deeper worry is that if a candidate bribes the examiner, he is obviously a mediocre person but passes the provincial examination and becomes a Jinshi.Although it is said that one can enter the court as an official only after passing the selection test of the Ministry of Officials, the difficulty of the selection test of the Ministry of Officials is far less than that of the general examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites.

It was Xiao Mingcheng's inspiration to test people in front of the palace from his mother.

In the first year of Zaichu, when Dan was in power and his mother was regent, he asked the tributes in the palace of Luocheng in February. It was an extra trial after the general examination. It is said that the response was very good, but it was a pity that it was not completed.

The more Xiao Mingcheng talked, the more energetic he became.

"The general examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites still takes [-] Jinshi. Among the [-] Jinshi, the top [-] go to the Taiji Hall for the palace examination, and Aye personally supervises the examination. You can reward the [-] Jinshi with a more unique title, as long as the [-] Jinshi are worthy of the name, You can dispense with the subsequent selection of officials."

The official selection test is an examination, and the palace examination is also an examination, so let's treat it as a public official selection test, although the meaning of it is far worse.

Of course, one of the great advantages of holding the palace examination is that if there is a guy who is not worthy of the name among the Jinshi, he will show his true colors in front of the emperor, lest he get in the office and harm the people.

Li Zhilue pondered for a while, and felt that Xiao Mingcheng's idea was good, he pushed Xiao Mingcheng to the throne directly, and said: "The method of palace examination is feasible, Hong'er, please write a note, and write down the process of this matter."

The author has something to say: Queen Wang: Did Li Hong go to intercede?

Xiao Mingcheng: Aye, let's hold the palace test, open the palace test~

The development of the judges of the third division is the joint trial of the third division in the future~

During Gaozong’s time, the imperial examination had just started, and there was no palace examination, no second place and Tanhua→_→ the second place and Tanhua were the titles after the further improvement of the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty.Tanhua in the Tang Dynasty refers to Jinshi who is responsible for picking flowers, and only looks at the appearance, not the ranking.
