Li Ke was almost not choked to death by Chu Suiliang's words. He coughed a few times, took the opportunity to get rid of his eyes, and then took the notice from the court in Chu Suiliang's hands with an embarrassed expression.

  When he opened the bulletin, he could see that the bulletin said that the Ministry of Personnel and the Censor's Office had strictly investigated hundreds of officials in the recent period, and it was found that some officials were seriously corrupt, and they were immediately dismissed for investigation.

  These officials were also in important positions in the court and could not be vacant for a long time. Therefore, after discussion in the court, it was decided to temporarily hold a system examination to select talents for the court and fill the vacancies.

  Then there are the requirements for the candidates to take the exam. They must be in the identity of the candidate, must be recommended by a person with status, and must be a student in the literary academy reported by the imperial court. Only those who meet these three conditions can participate in the exam.

  It must be said that these three conditions are indeed a bit harsh.

  It is estimated that there are more than [-] people who can satisfy the entire Tang Dynasty.

  Not to mention other things, even in the academy reported by the imperial court, there are not many in the entire Tang Dynasty, and in addition, it must be a Juren, and there is even less.

  So Li Ke said that there are more than [-] people, which is a lot.

  But after thinking about it, he can understand. After all, this time the system exam is to fill the gap. After the exam, he will directly become an official.

  The court must ensure the identity and background of these people, and the two conditions of someone's recommendation and the college can ensure that at least these candidates are not born out of the wild.

  He changed the notification to Chu Suiliang and said, "Mr. Chu, how are the two things that this king asked you to do?"

  When Chu Suiliang heard the words, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, and he said, "Your Highness really predicts things like God, you can take the lead in everything!"

  "Our Yizhou Academy of Literature has been approved by the imperial court, and it is officially recognized! And there are nine people in the entire Yizhou Juren, and all of them have been found by the lower officials at this time."

  "it is good!"

  Li Ke nodded and said, "If there is a recommendation from this king later, all three conditions will be satisfied! But..."

  Li Ke frowned slightly and said, "Is there only nine people? It's a bit small!"

  When Chu Suiliang heard the words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Your Highness, there are already a lot of nine people! This is still among the disaster victims in Yangzhou, and two Juren were discovered!"

  "Yizhou is already remote, and members of Yang were oppressed before. It is a great blessing to be able to have seven Juren! Moreover, these Juren are from forty to twenty-three years old. Some juren have been taking the jinshi examination for many years, but they have fallen out of the list every year, and some juren have just passed the examination and have not yet taken the jinshi examination.”

  As soon as Li Ke heard what Chu Suiliang said, he nodded and understood what Chu Suiliang meant.

  With just these nine Juren, I still don't know how many generations it took to appear.

  Moreover, the Yangzhou disaster victims also contributed two people, and the rest of the Yizhou Juren, even middle-aged people in their [-]s.

  "Sure enough, it's far from the scholars in those places in Jiangnan!"

  Li Ke shook his head in his heart, but he wasn't too disappointed, with nine people, a tight fit was enough.

  What he wants is to make all these people on the list, but there are only thirty-two people in the imperial court. If all of them are occupied by Yizhou at once, something will definitely happen!

  If it's only [-] places now, it shouldn't cause an uproar, right?

  What Li Ke is thinking about now is the matter of being on the list. As for whether he can pass the test?

  He really wasn't worried at all!

  Will that be the problem?

  He is a man who knows the exam questions. He knows all the exam questions. If he still can't pass the exam, let them find a piece of tofu and kill him.

  So thinking of this, he said directly: "Mr. Chu, you tell those Juren to go to the Yizhou Academy of Literature tomorrow, and this king wants to see them!"

  "Yes!"

  ……

  At the same time, Yangzhou.

  Prince Li Chengqian also received a report from the court.

  As soon as he saw that the imperial court was going to hold a subject examination, Li Chengqian was shocked and his eyes lit up... Then, he jumped up from the bed in an instant, as if his whole body was full of endless power!

  "Imperial Examination! Imperial Examination! Hahaha, God really wants to help this Gong!"

  Li Chengqian's eyes flashed, and his face was full of excitement and excitement. He said to himself: "When it comes to imperial examinations, who are the students in Jiangnan afraid of? This palace holds the land of Yangzhou, and it has been the place where talented people have come out since ancient times! Most of them are from Yangzhou!"

  "It can be said that as long as the Yangzhou talent makes a move, the position of the champion will definitely be captured!"

  A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a sneer suddenly appeared in his corner.

  "The candidates who pass the examination can directly fill the vacancies in the court. This time, because of Li Ke's heavy losses, many forces have been purged... But now, if they can pass the examination and fill the vacancies and enter important positions, then the power of this king will not only be It will not weaken, but will strengthen!"

  "So, this time, this king is bound to win!"

  "As for Li Ke..."

  Li Chengqian smiled disdainfully: "On the barren land of Yizhou, what can you compare it to Bengong? I have never seen a scholar from Yizhou pass the exam in the past, so this time, you can only watch Bengong. The power of , rise again!"

  "This time, Ben Gong will definitely be ashamed! Let you watch Ben Gong regain its power, and then... use these forces to let you know how powerful Ben Gong is!!"

  Li Chengqian suddenly burst out laughing, and the whole person seemed to be able to see the moment when his candidate's golden list was inscribed...

  And this scene is not only in Yangzhou.

  Yongzhou, Suzhou, Shandong, Henan...

  Because of this news, the entire Tang Dynasty moved quickly.

  They are all sharpening their knives, and they are going to the imperial examination!

Chapter [-] Kneel down, kowtow, I will give you a new future! !

  Yongzhou.

  Yongzhou Shepherd's Mansion.

  Li Tai has been in a sickly state since he was spitting up blood by Li Ke that time, his face was sallow, and he had no spirit at all.

  Today, as usual, he reluctantly picked himself up, sat on the main seat, and listened to his advisors reporting some official and local affairs.

  Li Tai has great ambitions, so he must always grasp the changes in the entire Tang Dynasty.

  "Your Highness!"

  At this moment, Fang Yi'ai suddenly stood up. He was personable and elegant. His eyes were very similar to Fang Xuanling's, full of wisdom.

  He smiled and looked at Li Tai, who had an ugly face, and said, "His Royal Highness, I have a good medicine to give to Your Highness. Once this good medicine comes, I believe that Your Highness will be able to cure the disease and restore the old style."

  If someone else said this, Li Tai would definitely slap that person away.

  You are sick!

  Your whole family is sick!

  Who doesn't know what happened to this king?

  When you say that this king is ill, isn't it a blatant joke about this king?

  It's just that Fang Yi'ai and Li Tai have a very good relationship, and Li Tai has many places to rely on Fang Yi'ai, so when he heard Fang Yi'ai's words, he just smiled reluctantly and said, "Yi Ai, don't laugh at this king, Ben. The king is already miserable enough, and now you are 727 and don't know, because of this matter, this king is too poor to open the pot, this king is really planted!"

  "Plant? It's just a loss of some silver taels, what kind of planting?"

  Fang Yi'ai heard Li Tai's words, but said: "His Royal Highness, don't forget your goal. For your lofty goal, what is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? The power in the court is controlled by Your Highness. The right and power of the people, that is the core!"

  "The rest will be gone without it, it's nothing at all."

  "This..." Li Tai heard the words and thought about it, but he was also persuaded by Fang Yi'ai.

  This is indeed the case. His goal is the throne, and money is just an aid. What really matters is the opposition in the DPRK!

  How many ministers support you, and how many ministers you can control, that is the most important thing!

  "Legacy, what you reminded is that this king almost gave up on his roots!" Li Tai thought about this, and his face finally got better.

  Fang Yi'ai turned the fan and said with a smile, "It's good that His Highness knows this, and the prescription I brought to His Highness this time is the one that can help His Highness expand his power in the court!"

  "Oh?"

  Li Tai was immediately interested, and quickly asked: "Legacy, don't make this king's appetite, just say it!"

  A ray of wisdom flashed in Fang Yi'ai's eyes, and he said, "Your Highness, I just received a message from the imperial court!"

  He met Li Tai's hopeful gaze and said, "Your Majesty has a purpose. On September [-]th, a system examination will be held in Chang'an, and the top [-] people will be selected to fill important vacancies in the DPRK according to their grades!"

  brush!

  When Li Tai and the others heard Fang Yi'ai's words, their eyes suddenly flashed.

  The number one counselor, Wei Ting, stood up instantly. He immediately wanted to understand the key point, and his face became agitated!

  "Great joy! This is really a great joy!" Wei Ting also bowed directly to Li Tai.

  Fang Yi'ai saw that Wei Ting opened her mouth, so she smiled and sat back again without speaking.

  And Wei Ting said: "His Royal Highness, as Fang Gongzi said, this is our big happy event!"

  "The biggest difference between His Royal Highness and the Prince is that there are not many forces in the DPRK, especially in important positions, there are even fewer officials! But now, the opportunity is here!"

  Wei Ting said excitedly: "Because of the previous rain disaster, the official department has been purged, and the power has been reduced by at least half! So now is the time when the prince is the weakest. If we can get our people to high school, we can make up for the imperial court. If there is a vacancy, then the power possessed by His Royal Highness will be no weaker than that of the Crown Prince!"

  "At that time, His Royal Highness will truly have the strength to challenge the Crown Prince! And Li Ke, the King of Shu, has withered talents in Yizhou, and it is not his turn to take a share of the pie!"

  When Li Tai heard Wei Ting's words, he glanced at Fang Yi'ai again. Seeing Fang Yi'ai also nodded in agreement, his complexion instantly turned rosy, and his eyes that were originally godless also burst into a terrifying light in an instant!

  "Okay! This time is really a good thing!"

  Li Tai is also a person with some shrewdness and knowledge. Maybe he didn't understand the use of the imperial court's examination to him at first, but with Wei Ting and Fang Yi'ai's words, he completely understood the key.

  This exam is a great opportunity for me!

  "The prince's power is weakened. Although Li Ke has made a lot of contributions, almost no one in the court supports him, so he can be ignored!"

  Li Tai analyzed: "Therefore, as long as this king can get my people to occupy the majority of seats in this subject system examination, then under the conditions of change, this king will reach the same level as the prince, and also Leave Li Ke far behind!"

  "it is good!"

  Li Tai said directly: "Go on, immediately gather all the candidates who can take the exam in Yongzhou, and this king will bring them all under his command!"

  "And at the same time, we will use the manpower of our court to find a way to know the trend of this exam, and then invite the most famous Mr. Confucianism to teach these candidates! This king must let these candidates get at least five seats in the top ten! "

  All advisors and officials heard the words, stood up at the same time, bowed to Li Tai, and said, "Your Highness Shengming!"

  Li Tai's face was full of joy, and he seemed to have seen the day when he took control of the imperial court...

  Invisibly, this system exam has become a battlefield where several princes have no gunpowder!

  Li Chengqian is conceited that he has the resources of Jiangnan scholars, and he is full of confidence in this imperial examination, as if he is in control!
