In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

"Wise King. During the disaster relief period, I hadn't had time to settle your sins, but you stood up first."

Mo Jinyi looked at the wise king who was standing in the center of the court and pleading for those people with great righteousness.

I felt angry again.

This idiot is looking for death.

"Duke Anguo, I will let you go this time because you are a veteran of three dynasties. If you beg for mercy again, I will punish you as well.

The wise king was absent from his post this time to provide disaster relief. Please stop your duties and go back to reflect on your actions."

The wise king did not expect that his position would be terminated simply because of his plea.

It seems that His Majesty has been dissatisfied with him recently.

Mo Jinyi stood up and carried Mo Sheng away.

"Resignation—"

imperial study room

Mo Sheng looked at his father who was as angry as a puffer fish.

While trying to pat his chest with my hand, I comforted him in my heart.

[Father, don't be angry. It's been more than ten years, and I'm still not used to it. Don't be so angry. It's easy to die quickly when you are angry.]

Mo Jinyi's face turned even darker when he heard his daughter's words of comfort.

Is there anything so comforting?

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Personnel Yi requests to see you."

Mo Jinyi calmed down and asked the palace servant to call him in.

"See Your Majesty"

As soon as Lord Yi stepped into the imperial study, he saw his Majesty with a gloomy face.

It seems that he chose the wrong time to report, which is why His Majesty got so angry at the morning court, and he is still angry now.

He wiped the nonexistent cold sweat.

He bowed to Mo Jinyi in fear.

[Father, please calm down. Look how scared you made Master Yi.]

Mo Sheng saw Lord Yi trembling under the tyranny of his father.

Oh~ it’s too shameful to watch.

Mo Jinyi glanced at the daughter in his arms.

Calm was restored.

"Lord Yi, you came to see me because the plan for the imperial examination has already been finalized?"

"Your Majesty, I have prepared a plan for the imperial examination. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Lord Yi handed the memorial in his hand to Li Desheng, who passed it to Mo Jinyi.

Mo Jinyi opened it and his eyes lit up.

I saw a three-fold letter with various details about the implementation of the imperial examination written on it.

Give examples of the benefits of employing students from poor families.

He also suggested that the emperor retain the traditional system of selecting officials in order to stabilize the aristocratic families.

The imperial court should break up the aristocratic families' monopoly on official positions in a subtle and gentle way.

And what significant impact it has caused.

For example: passing the imperial examination can unify the thoughts of the people of Beiyun, and at the same time expand the royal family's influence on Beiyun.

This will change the current situation where remote areas only know about aristocratic families but not the royal family.

But these cannot be achieved overnight and require long-term persistence.

[Lord Yi's ability is indeed great, just based on a few words from the emperor.

He and his subordinates actually wrote an exam outline that was identical to that of later generations, and it also suited the national conditions of Beiyun. 】

Mo Sheng's eyes revealed an expression of amazement at the plan outline written by Lord Yi.

[Father, you still have a few talented people you can use.

Apart from being as green and confused as you, Lord Yi is indeed a rare talent for being an official. Look at this outline, it is written in every aspect, just waiting for your final judgment]

Mo Jinyi looked at the memorial in his hand with a satisfied expression. Lord Yi had indeed written it well.

Then his face turned dark.

His own daughter is always bringing up all kinds of issues. If he doesn't make up a story, he will die.

"Lord Yi, please do as you wrote. I will issue an order immediately."

Mo Jinyi was so excited.

With this imperial examination, he would no longer be constrained by the aristocratic families.

Many policies may be implemented much faster.

Lord Yi was a little surprised.

He didn't expect the emperor to be so easy to talk to today and directly sent him off with the first draft.

In the past, he would have been asked to revise it eight or ten times.

After these ministers had worked hard to produce it, they were asked to use the first version again.

If you can't figure it out, you'll be scolded.

Mo Jinyi looked at Lord Yi's surprised expression and put away the smile on his face.

He asked with a frown.

"Why, Lord Yi, are you dissatisfied?"

Lord Yi came to his senses and shook his head quickly.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to complain about. I will take my leave."

After Lord Yi finished his ceremony, he quickly left the imperial study.

When he reached the door of the imperial study, he stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately he ran fast, otherwise if His Majesty changed his mind and asked him to change the plan, he would be dead.

Mo Sheng looked at Lord Yi who was running as fast as a rabbit.

He smiled mercilessly.

[Father, look at how Master Yi is being exploited by you. He is afraid that if he stays for one more second, you will ask him to do it again. As expected, Father, you are also a hateful Party A father. ]

Mo Jinyi: “…………”

Shouldn't we strive for excellence?

I am responsible to the people.

Mo Jinyi ignored Mo Sheng who was constantly plotting against him in his mind.

He then asked Li Desheng to find someone from the Secretariat to help him draft an imperial edict.

Mo Jinyi's imperial edict.

The world was in an uproar.

The eyes of ordinary families lit up.

As long as they can pass the imperial examination and become an official, they can escape their current fate of poverty.

They can also realize their lofty ambitions in the court. Even if they cannot do it this year, they can still participate next year or the year after.

The government was afraid that they didn't know how to take the exam, so they provided exam books for sale.

Even if they needed money, they could still afford to support one person per family even if they had to sell everything they had. For a time, there was a constant stream of people coming in front of government offices in various places.

There were also some perceptive noble families who realized why the current emperor did this.

"Mr. Prime Minister, why do you think the emperor has made such a move? He has made a decision without consulting us."

The current Prime Minister smiled and spoke calmly.

"Why? The emperor feels that the aristocratic families are too big and deeply rooted in the court. He doesn't want to be constrained by the aristocratic families anymore. He wants to train some officials from humble backgrounds in this way. Those people don't have any background or followers, so they are easier to control."

"Then we will give advice to His Majesty tomorrow. It is obvious that only we recommended talents in the past, and only then did His Majesty have the talent to employ them now."

The Prime Minister glanced at the person who said such stupid things.

"The emperor has not deprived you of your right to continue recommending children from noble families. He has only opened a special examination to give scholars all over the world an opportunity. What kind of trouble are you going to make? Aren't you afraid of being attacked by everyone?"

The man thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case, so he stopped talking.

The prime minister turned his back to the man and stroked his beard.

Your Majesty's move was truly brilliant, and even he couldn't find any room to fight back.

imperial study room

Mo Jinyi was holding Mo Sheng and reviewing memorials.

Mo Sheng rubbed his eyes. He felt very sleepy because he got up too early today.

Suddenly I felt a wave of hunger again.

She kicked her father hard.

[Father, your daughter is now hungry and sleepy]

Mo Jinyi suddenly realized this problem. His daughter seemed to be still very weak and could not withstand his torment for such a long time.

He looked at Li Desheng who was waiting nearby.

Tsk~ I really don’t want to be hugged by him.

He handed Mo Sheng to Li Desheng reluctantly.

"Li Desheng, the little princess may be hungry. Take her to the side hall to find a wet nurse to feed her. Wait until she is full and have enough sleep before you bring her back."

Li Desheng glanced at the reluctant look of his Majesty.

He grinned and responded.

When Mo Sheng saw his wet nurse, he had never felt she was so kind.

[My dear nanny, I finally saw you and I almost starved to death]

Mo Jinyi's face in the imperial study turned dark.

This side hall is just behind the imperial study, about twenty meters away, so Mo Jinyi can still hear his daughter's voice.

Mo Sheng forced himself to finish his milk and then fell asleep.

It's almost time for lunch.

Concubine Rong filled up the soup she had just prepared and asked the palace maid to take it up to the imperial study.

Mainly because she missed her daughter and she has been weak recently.
