I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

The weather was sunny today. The sunlight shone into the hall and onto the face of Li Zhi at the top, making it look bright, as if a layer of gold Buddha's face had been coated on Li Zhi.

The noise below gradually died down, but Princess Qianjin and others were still kneeling on the ground.

Li Zhi did not ask the Princess Qianjin and the others to get up first, but turned to look at Li Zhao who was swinging the golden cup: "Xuanzun, what do you think, can you choose only Yutong?"

The emperor really upheld the orthodoxy of men holding official posts. Many of the court officials showed pleased smiles, but the female members of the family, led by the Grand Princess, had gloomy faces.

Wu Meiniang remained silent, but her eyes deepened.

Li Zhao glanced at him with a half-smile: "You mean, you want me to select a bunch of male cats who can only get horny when they see female fairies?"

Li Hong was stunned: "Why did Xuanzun say that? This is very indecent..."

Li Zhao looked straight ahead, expressionless, and coldly stopped him: "Shut up."

Hearing the anger in Li Zhao's words, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was shocked. Wu Meiniang also glared at him warningly: "Hong'er, step back! Don't be presumptuous in front of Xuanzun!"

Li Hong stammered twice, and finally lowered his head: "Yes, Your Majesty."

He stepped aside.

At the head, Li Zhao changed her posture and leaned on the table. Her expression was extremely cold. "If it weren't for the Heavenly Law that at least half of the Heavenly Emperor's officials must be selected in the mortal world after he descended to the earth, do you think I would listen to you mortals nagging for so long?"

"The last time I selected male officials to be by my side, they were all like you. They did nothing all day long. They just stared at the female officials around me and said some nonsense about the difference between yin and yang and immoral things. I didn't expect that they would be like this in the mortal world!" Li Zhao said sarcastically:

"It's only been a few thousand years in heaven, and you mortals have already fallen to the point where you can only talk instead of relying on real ability?"

When Li Zhi heard this, he suddenly got a headache.

Yes, Yudou Xuanzun is a deity who doesn't even want men to touch the spring water from Juqu Mountain for making tea, and only wants young women to fight with him. How could he accept that all his subordinates are men?

Li Zhao smiled proudly: Yes, I only let women go to fetch spring water from Juqu Mountain in order to leave such an impression in your mind.

By the way, Xuanzun just said that he selected his subordinates according to the laws of heaven. I think there should be no distinction between men and women when selecting immortal officials and priests in heaven.

No wonder Xuanzun did the same when selecting his subordinates in the mortal world, not considering gender, but only considering talent.

Li Zhi originally thought that Yudou Xuanzun was causing trouble by establishing a gender-based examination system.

But based on the information he had obtained so far, Xuan Zun's original intention did not seem to be so, so he dispelled some of his doubts about her.

However, Yudou Xuanzun had just killed Wu Minzhi. With such an unpredictable god who held the power of life and death by his side, Li Zhi felt as if a sharp knife was hanging over his head. He was still a little wary of Yudou Xuanzun.

Forget it, don’t think about this for now.

There was such a loud noise downstairs just now, and Li Zhi was not deaf and could not hear it, but he was just weighing the pros and cons the whole time.

Weigh the pros and cons of establishing a male and female examination system and selecting officials for Yudou Xuanzun.

There is, of course, an upside to this.

No matter whether the officials around Yudou Xuanzun are male or female, as long as they learn the new casting method taught by Xuanzun, the Tang Dynasty will be able to forge a batch of strong soldiers and armor, enhance the strength of the army, and protect the beautiful land.

But the disadvantage of opening the same course for both sexes is that it completely challenges traditional etiquette.

Men are respected everywhere in the mortal world, and taking imperial examinations and becoming an official are the privileges of men.

If women are suddenly asked to take the imperial examinations together with men to compete for an official position, or to compete for the position of an official beside a god, one can imagine how much resistance they will encounter.

Even though Li Zhi was the emperor, he was jealous of the benefits the new casting method would bring to his country.

But he is also a man, and it is impossible for him to completely ignore the interests of his subjects who are of the same male class.

He asked Yudou Xuanzun if he could choose only Yutong, just to test Xuanzun's mind and see if she could change her mind.

Unexpectedly, Yudou Xuanzun suddenly lost his temper and clearly rejected the option of choosing only Yutong as an official.

Li Zhi could not ignore Yu Dou Xuan Zun's thoughts and force a man to be her subordinate.

Because that's not trying to please her, it's making enemies with her!

Yu Dou Xuan Zun’s temper is really as Taishang Laojun said, super bad.

Wu Minzhi is still her cousin in this body, but he can be killed at will if she turns against him.

If the officials she chose were not to her liking and were struck to death by her lightning, she would be suffering in silence.

Li Zhi was almost worried to death.

He pressed his forehead and felt the dull pain in his temple again.

Seeing Li Zhi remain silent, Li Zhao sneered in his heart, thinking that he needed to add fuel to the fire.

Li Zhao turned his gaze directly to Li Xian, who had an earnest look in his eyes.

Then, a mid-level intelligence reduction card was used on him.

Intermediate IQ reduction card, used by Li Xian!

A primary intelligence reduction card can force the user to do something stupid, while an intermediate intelligence reduction card can make the user voluntarily do something stupid because they think they are smart.

Qingluan was surprised to see this.

Zhao Zhao, are you going to destroy the political situation that Li Zhi has worked so hard to build?

Speaking of Li Xian, the moment he heard Yu Dou Xuan Zun say that he wanted to select officials, his eyes lit up instantly.

Most men were opposed to the idea of ​​establishing a separate examination system for both men and women, but Li Xian did not want to speak out against it on his own and anger Yu Dou Xuan Zun, nor could he openly support it and stand against all the male court officials.

It was not until his father asked Xuanzun to appoint men as subordinate officials that Li Xian felt that his chance had come.

Li Zhao used an intermediate intelligence reduction card on him, which just accelerated his action speed.

Li Xian almost couldn't wait to step out of the line, kneeling down and kowtowed to his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, who were at the head of the group: "Xuan Zun's words are nothing but disdain for the vulgarity of ordinary male court officials."

"However, all of our Tang clan members are relatives of Emperor Taizong, and they are all outstanding talents. Xuanzun may choose an official from among the clan men!"

"I am a worthy person, but I am willing to serve as the chief secretary of Xuanzun's palace, to discipline the officials and teach the staff. I beg Xuanzun to grant my request."

Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He raised his head, his eyes scraping at Li Xian like a steel knife, as if to pierce through his skin, dig out his heart, and see what color his heart was.

His good son was really worried.

The meaning of these two sentences is obvious. Li Xian wants to become an official beside Yudou Xuanzun.

However, Li Zhi thought coldly: Xian'er, Xian'er, your real purpose is definitely not to assist the prince and seek benefits for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

But he wants to use the identity of Yudou Xuanzun to cover himself with an aura of divine power, right?

Then, it will be convenient for you to change the situation and usurp the throne, right?

Li Zhi's mouth curled up into an arc, thinking indifferently.

How dare his good son Li Xian expose his ambition to replace the Eastern Palace in front of him and all the ministers?

Xian'er, oh Xian'er, how could you, how dare you, have such evil intentions! !

There was a chill in Li Zhi's eyes.

He smiled and pretended to be calm and looked at Li Xian: "Oh? Good boy, you are thoughtful."

However, he did not mention a single word about letting Li Xian be the chief secretary of Yudou Xuanzun's palace.

Li Xian's handsome face revealed disappointment. He looked up at Yu Dou Xuan Zun with a scorching gaze.

Obviously, the effect of the intermediate intelligence reduction card has not yet faded.

What a pity, no matter how smart Li Xian’s plan was.

Neither Li Zhi nor Li Zhao intended to act in the direction he expected.

Li Zhao showed a playful smile, but his face suddenly became gloomy, and he was always laughing and scolding, with a changeable mood.

She leaned against the table, her tone neither happy nor angry: "Forget it, since you don't want men and women to take the same exam, then why don't you have a separate exam for men and women? My subordinates..."

The faces of the Grand Princess, Pei Yuan and other women suddenly turned pale.

The vast majority of male officials had expressions of great joy on their faces.

Some people even snorted coldly and cast extremely mocking and contemptuous looks at the women who were going to take the separate courses for men and women.

The eyes of those women who finally mustered up the courage to stand up were red and filled with tears in an instant.

The men all bowed down: "Xuan Zunying..."

Before they finished speaking, Li Zhao, who was at the top, said lightly, "Just choose women."

Select all women as officials? !

The men were horrified, and each of them was stunned on the spot like a fool: "Ah???!!!"

"Emperor, you once said that I can appoint my own subordinates and just register their names with the Ministry of Personnel, right?" Li Zhao said nonchalantly:

"Well, I will hold a poetry meeting someday. My dear, call all the girls you know. No matter if they are old or young, rich or poor, as long as they are talented and I like them, they can become my subordinates!"

Li Zhaofeng squinted her eyes, looked at the eldest princess, and said with a smile.

She snorted in her heart: You little bastards, I can’t deal with you bastards!

Since you don’t want women to have a share of the pie, then you men should forget about taking advantage!

I'm about to overturn the table. I guess these bastards don't dare to stop the woman from coming to the table, right?

The host flipped the table, and Qingluan was amazed: "When no one wants to open the window, you suggest flipping the roof, and these people will agree to open the window. Host, you really understand the theory of window opening!"

Li Zhao glanced at her and said, "Alright, stop sighing and go out first. When I send a signal, we will act according to the plan we made before coming to the General Immortal Palace!"

Qingluan flapped its wings and flew out: "Alright! Zhao Zhao!"
