"Manny, come with us..."

   The court ladies and eunuchs took Mu Mu to Baihua Pavilion.

   Baihua Pavilion is very large and delicately arranged, which fully demonstrates the dignity of the royal family. Along the way, all the court ladies and eunuchs encountered will respectfully salute when they see Mu Mu, and call them empress.

   Mu Mu only felt her heartbeat speed up, as if a word from the emperor made her soar into the sky and became one of the masters in this harem...

   "He..."

   "He said just now that he has time to see me..."

   Mu Mu suddenly thought of what Li Si said last.

   Just as Mu Mu was thinking about it, an **** walked in quickly.

   "Niang Niang, please follow me."

   "The Queen Mother wants to see you..."

   As soon as the eunuch's words fell, Mu Mu was completely shocked.

   She never expected that she wanted to see her when she was the queen mother?

   You must know that the empress dowager is the emperor’s biological mother. Although there is no official post, she is the most noble woman in the world...

   The queen mother lives in Yong'an Palace all the year round. Even those first-ranking seniors in the court have no chance to see her. Mu Mu was originally just a gardener in the imperial garden, so she was not qualified to meet the queen mother.

   But now, the queen mother asked her to go to Yongan Palace...

   For a while, Mu Mu's mind went blank, and subconsciously followed the **** to the place where the queen mother lived.

   Yongan Palace.

   The Queen Mother sits on the main seat.

   "You are your majesty's newly canonized beauty?"

   The Queen Mother took a closer look at Mu Mu.

   Actually, as the Queen Mother, there is no need to meet a ‘beauty’...

   But Mu Mu is different.

   She is the emperor's first canonized beauty.

   The Queen Mother was still worried before, and the emperor seemed to have no interest in Na Fei.

   It's just that because the draft was messed up, the queen mother was too embarrassed to organize another draft.

   can only do so in a hurry.

   But now, the emperor has begun to accept his concubine...

   Although only a beauty, not a concubine.

   But the Queen Mother believes that this is the beginning.

   Thinking of this, the Queen Mother looked at Mu Mu more pleasingly.

   If it weren’t for Mumu, the emperor didn’t know when it was going to be delayed before he thought of Nafei...

   "In front of the Aijia, don't be nervous, since your Majesty canonized you as a beauty, in the future, you and Aijia will be a family."

   The Queen Mother and Yan Yue said.

   "Mu Meiren, have you served your majesty?"

   The queen mother asked calmly.

   "Enlighten the Queen Mother, I...I don't..."

   Mu Mu Qiao blushed.

   Of course she knew what the queen mother said about serving.

   "No..."

   The Queen Mother was a little disappointed, but she did not show it.

   "Come here, teach Mumei some common sense in the palace."

   As soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, several Yongan Palace female officials walked out and led Mu Mu out.

   Mu Mu thought at first that the common sense of the palace in the Queen Mother's mouth was some etiquette...

   But after the female officer started teaching, Mu Mu discovered that these common senses were all things that made her face red.

  ...

   Li Si returned to the Hall of Longevity and continued to review the memorials.

   As an emperor, he must be diligent. This is also the bottom line set by Li Si.

   Just as Li Si was reviewing the memorial, the attendant **** walked in and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Book of Rites is asking for you outside the hall."

   "Announce!"

   The Book of Rites entered the Hall of Longevity: "I have seen your Majesty."

   "What's the matter?"

   Li Si closes the memorial and looks at the Book of Rites.

   "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is coming soon, please select the chief examiner to preside over this imperial examination!"

   The Book of the Ministry of Etiquette respectfully said.

   Datang imperial examinations are held in stages each year to elect a large number of talents for Datang.

   However, in Li Si's view, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty had a great degree of drawbacks.

   The Imperial Examination System of the Tang Dynasty was managed by the chief examiner.

  This led to the fact that all candidates for the imperial examination were assigned to the chief examiner.

   These examinees claimed to the outside world that they were disciples of the chief examiner.

   Therefore, when these candidates enter the officialdom, they are naturally included in the faction of the chief examiner.

   In this way, there will be some nepotism between teachers and sects that are naturally unavoidable above the court...

   These officials who have a relationship between teachers and sects form gangs with each other in the officialdom, and they protect each other and treat the officialdom as their own private land.

   Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair, frowning.

   He allowed the officials to fight each other.

  Because there is no emperor, I hope to see that the courtiers share the same hatred and love each other.

   But the premise of the struggle is to put Datang's interests first.

   Instead of abandoning the interests of Datang for self-interest.

   For example, when Datang became prime minister, Yuan Zai, he used the emperor's trust in him to cover the sky in the court.

   accepted bribes in private, and repeatedly used the identity of the chief examiner of the imperial examination to drag countless candidates out of his faction.

   For a long time, the entire court is the prime minister's faction. Whatever the prime minister says, that's what.

   As for the emperor...

   The words of the emperor are not as important as the prime minister.

   Li Si looked gloomy.

  Although, the so-called faction has long since dispersed under the purges of several times in the current court.

   The officials above the court are all in danger. They are afraid that the emperor’s sword will fall on him in the next moment. There is no time to run the faction.

   But Li Si knew that the root of the faction in the court was the imperial examination system.

   As long as the imperial examination system is not changed, the hidden dangers of factions will always exist, and there will always be a resurgence.

   However, the imperial examination system is a system that provides talents and fresh blood for Datang, and it absolutely cannot be abolished.

   How to resolve faction disputes?

   Li Si suddenly thought of the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty.

   The imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty~www.ltnovel.com~ basically continued the imperial examination system of Datang, but changed in some subtle points.

   There was no chief examiner in the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty.

   Candidates need to pass the solution test, provincial test and palace test.

  Examinations are conducted in various places. Those who pass the examination can enter Beijing to participate in the provincial examination. After passing the provincial examination, all candidates need to participate in the palace examination.

The    palace examination was presided over by the emperor himself, and the ranking was also appointed by the emperor. As a result, the jinshi who passed the palace examination in the end were all ‘students of the emperor’, not students of the chief examiner.

   In this way, the emperor's control over court officials was greatly strengthened.

   Since then, the court officials, all of them are students of the emperor, and the so-called factional dispute has been dismantled from the root.

   After all, everyone is under the emperor's sect and belongs to the same faction. Even if they are fighting, they are fighting for the emperor's interests.

   "The imperial examination system..."

   Li Si stood up, feeling slightly in his heart.

   "Book of Etiquette!"

   Li Si turned around.

   "The minister is here!"

  Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites bit the bullet and said, since he mentioned the chief examiner, His Majesty has not spoken, which makes the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites uneasy to speculate.

   Li Si pondered for a moment, and continued: "I pass on my will. In the future imperial examinations, the chief examiner system will be abolished and one hall examination will be added. The hall examination will be hosted by me personally!"

   After listening to the Book of Rites, his face changed slightly.

   "Book of Etiquette!"

   Li Si looked at the Book of Rites and said, "You shouldn't let me down, right?"

   "The minister will certainly live up to your majesty's high hopes, and the minister will definitely implement your majesty's will in the imperial examinations as soon as possible!"

   Libu Shangshu said quickly with a cold sweat.
