Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

　　Eternal Life Hall.

　　 Li Si looked angrily at the Book of Rites.

　　Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette is in charge of all matters concerning the imperial examination, and he knows all the candidates' conditions.

　　 "Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, tell me why these wastes can enter the palace examination?"

　　 "Could it be that I Datang, only these wastes are left?!"

　　 Li Si was so angry!

　　 In Li Si's memory, Datang was famous for its abundance of talents, but now, what are the ten candidates on the list?

　　 can only slap the horse, flattery!

　　 What Li Si wants is not these wastes, but the talents who can help the emperor manage the Tang Dynasty! !

　　 Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites knelt on the ground, cold sweat constantly coming down from his forehead, at this moment, he didn't know how to answer the emperor's question.

　　 The official book of the Ministry of Etiquette clearly knows that in this imperial examination, many poor candidates, regardless of their knowledge of literary talent or strategic layout, far outperformed the ten candidates on the list.

　　 But what's the use?

　　 These poor candidates have no background and no official recommendation for them. At most, they stop at the provincial examination...

　　 The only way to enter the palace test is to find someone to seek refuge.

　　 But most of the poor students are very arrogant and don't bother to find someone to seek refuge. In the end, they have no choice but to return home...

　　 Li Si looked at the trembling Book of Rites with a gloomy look: "Shang Shu of Rites? Why didn't you speak? Did you arrange the ten people on the list?"

　　 As soon as the emperor’s voice fell, the Book of Rites shivered: "Your Majesty, even if the Weichen has the courage, he dare not intervene in the results of the imperial examination..."

　　 Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair, and took a look at the Book of Rites.

　　 He believed that the words of the Book of Rites were true.

　　 Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, as a member of the Third Grade of Chaotang Zheng, is probably not stupid enough to tamper with the list of candidates for the palace exam.

　　 The palace test was presided over by the emperor himself, so how could Shang Shu dare to do such a thing under the eyes of the emperor?

　　 "Then tell me, what is going on?"

　　 Li Si's expression faded slightly, and he spoke.

　　 "His Majesty, this matter..."

The Book of Etiquette took a deep breath, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, there is a default rule regarding the imperial examination. If candidates want to enter the palace examination, they must be recommended by an official. Otherwise, even if they are more talented, they will still meet. Was brushed down..."

　　 After finishing the book, he lowered his head and waited for the emperor's disposal.

　　 Li Si slightly leaned on the throne of the dragon chair, narrowing his eyes.

　　 Li Si almost understood what the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said.

　　 The so-called imperial examination recommendation system is similar to the hidden rules.

　　 This rule will not be written on the surface, but when it is actually implemented, it actually exists.

　　 This is the reason why Li Si did not find out when he checked the Imperial Examination System of the Tang Dynasty.

　　 It's not that Li Si was carelessly ignoring the past, but the system on the surface did not mention it at all.

　　 Li Si is more frightened as he thinks about it.

　　 This so-called official recommendation is simply breaking the foundation of the imperial examination system...

　　 If there is no official recommendation, those unfamiliar students will not be able to enter the palace exam. Those who can enter the palace exam are all related to those officials in the court.

　　 If things go on like this, there will be no fresh blood to replenish in the Tang Dynasty, and there will be a family statement...

　　 At that time, the officials could not check and balance each other, and sooner or later the power of the emperor was emptied.

　　 Li Si's eyes were cold in the depths, and he would never allow only one voice above the court.

　　 Li Si is not afraid of the court officials fighting with each other.

　　 On the contrary, the courtiers fought harder, as long as they didn't step on the bottom line and ignored the interests of Datang, the emperor would be happy to see the result.

　　 But, when one day, the courtiers no longer fight with each other, and all the courtiers regard a certain minister as their head, then the emperor might be in danger.

　　 Li Si slowly got up and looked at the official book of the Ministry of Rites, who was kneeling on the ground in fear: "Aiqing don't need to be nervous, it's not your fault."

　　The imperial examination recommendation system is the product of mutual compromises by those noble families in order to control the court since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

　　 Don't talk about the Book of Etiquette, even if the prime minister, he dare not change it.

　　 Li Si paced back and forth, and asked casually: "How many years has Aiqing been an official?"

　　 The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites heard this and immediately said: "Return to your Majesty, the old minister has been an official for forty years..."

　　 "Forty years?"

　　 Li Si sighed with emotion.

　　 "Then how many people have you recommended in the past 40 years?"

　　 Li Si asked these words in a very casual tone, he didn't even read the official book of the Ministry of Etiquette, as if he was an old friend chatting casually before.

　　 However, when Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites heard the emperor’s words, he was cold in his heart and said quickly: "Return to your Majesty, the old minister has been an official for forty years and has never recommended anyone."

　　 "The veteran knows that the imperial examination system is the lifeblood of my Tang Dynasty, and I dare not have any thoughts that I shouldn't have."

　　 Li Si looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and continued to pace back and forth.

　　 "Okay, get up."

　　 Li Si stopped and said.

　　Is there any recommendation from the Book of Rites, Li Si would naturally ask Dongchang to investigate.

　　 "The old minister abides by the decree." Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites stood up, lowering his head not to look directly at the emperor.

　　 Li Si waved his hand: "Go directly to the Taiji Hall, the early dynasty is about to begin."

　　Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites led the order to leave and walked towards the Taiji Hall.

　　 Libu Shangshu left.

　　 Li Si walked out of the Hall of Longevity and looked out of the palace.

　　 Datang has established a country for hundreds of years, during which too many drawbacks have accumulated.

　　 Jiedushi system, land annexation, imperial examination recommendation system, etc...

　　 If these drawbacks are not resolved, Datang will be dragged into the abyss sooner or later.

　　...

　　 Early Tang Dynasty~www.ltnovel.com~ The officials followed the imperial road in turn and walked into the Tai Chi Hall.

　　 During this process, hundreds of officials were not allowed to whisper or fight, and there were special officials to record the words and actions of the officials.

　　 The civil and military officials were in place, and the emperor passed the officials and sat on the throne of the dragon chair.

　　 "Long live long live your majesty!"

　　 The courtiers saluted and shouted.

　　 Under normal circumstances, the emperor would stand up after the courtiers salute.

　　 Only this time, the court officials did not hear these words for a long time.

　　 The emperor did not say anything, and the officials did not dare to get up, so they could only kneel on the Tai Chi Hall.

　　 Li Si sits on the throne of the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials.

　　 "Aiqing people kneel very hard, right?"

　　 As soon as Li Si's voice fell, the court officials hurriedly shouted: "The ministers will not be hard to wait."

　　 "Kneel for a while if you don't work hard."

　　 Li Si slowly got up and walked to the edge of the dragon platform: "This time the imperial examination hall examination list has come out."

　　 "I took a look and I was disappointed!"

　　 Li Si's words were cold, making the officials numb.

　　 "I didn't expect someone to intervene in the imperial examination system?"

　　 "How many talents were selected by the imperial examination system for Datang, but now they have become the back garden of some officials?"

　　 "You tell me, this Datang country is mine or yours?".

　　 Li Si spoke faster and faster, and his voice became louder and louder, echoing in the entire Tai Chi Hall.

　　 The courtiers kneeling on the court saw the emperor getting angry, so scared they didn't even dare to lift their heads, they knelt on the ground shivering.
