When I traveled through time as the villain emperor, I met the heroine, the queen.

An imperial examination.

The Xia Kingdom once again set off a storm.

Regardless of the shocking literary talent displayed by Li Yunzhou.

Or the shocking number of imperial examination candidates in the imperial examination.

Or the imperial examination reform carried out by Li Yunzhou.

and many more……

All this seemed to have set off a storm in Xia Kingdom, causing countless people to talk about it.

The status of Confucian scholars in Xia Kingdom was suddenly weakened too much.

This also made more and more famous scholars and scholars come to Kyoto in anger.

this day.

Inside the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

Li Yunzhou was looking curiously at the white-haired old man in a simple gray robe who was brought in front of him by Yun Qian.

I secretly reviewed the information about this person in my mind.

Xu Yan, a famous scholar from the south of the Yangtze River.

When he was young, he was also one of the top geniuses in Daxia.

He became the number one scholar in Xia Kingdom at a young age.

When he first entered the officialdom, he was appreciated by the late emperor and got the position of a fifth-rank official.

But just when everyone thought this person was going to rise to prominence.

But he started to be demoted, demoted, and demoted again.

In ten years, he started as a fifth-rank official, but ten years later he was only an eighth-rank local official.

And the reason is...

justice!

That's right, it's because this guy often likes to defend so-called justice, so that the already completely dim Daxia court can't tolerate him.

Finally, the man resigned in anger and went into seclusion, declaring that he would never enter Kyoto again in his life.

But this time, he's here again?

"Um……"

Li Yunzhou looked at him silently, and then asked softly: "What is the purpose of Mr. Xu Yan's meeting with me?"

"The common people implore Your Majesty to give up reforming the imperial examination system!"

Xu Yan bowed his hands respectfully.

Li Yunzhou: "..."

He looked at the old man in front of him seriously, feeling a little helpless.

For this kind of existence who is obviously a good person but very pedantic, he is really...

I can't find a way to have both.

If you make them happy, you will not be happy.

But I am happy, these people... they don't seem to be doing anything wrong, they are not even bad people.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunzhou shook his head calmly: "Old sir, you also want to test your literary talent with me?"

In response to this, the old man immediately shook his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty's grace is recognized by the world, and I will not overestimate my capabilities."

"That……"

Li Yunzhou looked at the old man with a smile.

Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was obvious.

Since you have given up, what qualifications do you have to ask me to cancel the imperial examination reform.

In terms of power, you are not as powerful as me.

You are not as good at writing papers as I am.

You can't make sense.

So, can you give me a reason to cancel the imperial examination reform?

In response, the old man took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the literary talents and virtues of the Confucian scholars in Xia Kingdom today may be slightly deficient."

"However, they still have an irreplaceable and important role for Xia Country!"

"for example?"

Li Yunzhou asked with a chuckle.

"For example, educate the people!"

The old man looked up at Li Yunzhou proudly and said seriously.

"The importance of Confucian scholars to the Great Xia Kingdom lies not only in literary talent, virtue, order, etc... but more importantly, in education."

seriously.

During this period, he had heard a lot of rumors about Li Yunzhou.

Then the feeling is!

Untimely!

Everyone said that Li Yunzhou was a fool, but judging from Li Yunzhou's recent actions in Kyoto, he felt that there was still hope.

He even felt that Li Yunzhou was better than the late emperor.

Because although the late emperor was not so outrageous, his heart was too conservative, which was the origin of the tragedy in his life.

Although Li Yunzhou has been doing ridiculous things.

But this also shows that he is seeking change and wants to use various bold ways to save Daxia!

This is consistent with his philosophy of helping Daxia when he was young.

That's why he felt that he was born at the wrong time.

If he had met a monarch like Li Yunzhou when he was young, he would rather die than resign.

Even if he gets the people of the world, he will try his best to help Li Yunzhou save this Daxia.

Even if he knew it was impossible, he would still try!

Li Yunzhou is ridiculous, but that's because there is no one in the Daxia court to teach him except Yun Qian.

Li Yunzhou is now an uncut jade.

He needs a teacher to teach him well.

In this way, Daxia may still have a future.

This is the purpose of his coming to Kyoto this time.

He couldn't let Li Yunzhou continue to go further and further down the wrong path.

And he had also thought about it. If he wanted to teach an emperor, he must make Li Yunzhou realize his abilities.

The reform of the imperial examination system is his entry point.

He felt that Li Yunzhou was too arrogant on this point.

He does not deny that today's Confucian scholars may indeed have big problems.

But Confucianism is the foundation of the Xia Kingdom, how can it be lightly touched?

At that time, if the Daxia court loses the hearts of the Confucian scholars in the world, it will be a real disaster.

But he also knew that Li Yunzhou was indeed a genius, even an unprecedented genius.

It is almost impossible to defeat him in terms of literary talent.

In this case, there is no way to convince him.

For an emperor, he is not qualified to use other methods and can only persuade.

So he planned to bypass this point.

No head-on confrontation with Li Yunzhou.

Anyway, the essence of all this is the reform of the imperial examination system. The role of Confucian scholars in Daxia, then change the battlefield!

Take advantage of one's own strengths and attack the other's weaknesses!

Enlightenment was the new position he chose, and Li Yunzhou had to fight because he wanted to reform the imperial examination system.

If you want to convince the world, you can’t avoid it!

Li Yunzhou can only fight!
