I, the crown prince, resign [Transmigration Book]

"Fifth brother."

Li Jingxuan looked back and saw that it was Li Jingyi and Li Jinghan, and said with a smile: "I thought the emperor summoned me to discuss affairs in Beijing and China, but I didn't expect you to come too."

As soon as the three of them arrived in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Jinghan pointed at the person walking quickly in the distance, "Isn't that the fourth brother?"

Li Jingyu also looked at the three of them from a distance, and called out in surprise: "Fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother."

The eunuch standing outside saw a few people coming, hurriedly went in to report, but came out after a while, bowed his waist and said with a smile: "The emperor has ordered, please enter the hall to discuss matters.

The four of them entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation in order, knelt down and saluted together, "Your brother sees the emperor."

Sitting behind the table, Li Jinghuan's eyes were black and blue, and he pinched his brows, "You don't need to be polite, you guys came sooner."

Li Jingyu said with a smile: "My younger brother happened to arrive at the door, the horses were ready, and the emperor's order came, calling my younger brother into the palace, so my younger brother got on his horse and rushed over, not faster than usual."

Li Jinghuan half-jokingly said: "I made this decree at the wrong time, and it missed your business."

Li Jingyu shook his head, "Where is the important matter, even if it is an important matter, it is far less than the emperor's order."

At this moment, a eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the door: "The general is here, and my servant greets you. Go in quickly, the emperor and several masters are inside."

The sights of several people in the hall all focused on the door.

Zhan Chong has been placed on the border by Li Jinghuan, and this is the first time Li Jingyu has seen him in these years, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he scrutinized him from head to toe indiscriminately.

After so many years at the border, Zhan Chong has not changed much. The frontier is exposed to wind and sun, but his face is the same as before, and the faint impetuousness between his brows has disappeared. He is a scholar who shuts himself up all day and cultivates his morality.

For Li Jingyu, the few getting along with Zhan Chong is really not a good memory, Xu is born with a disagreement, even if history is rewritten, Zhan Chong is still not pleasing in his heart.

Li Jingyi glanced over Zhan Chong lightly, but looked elsewhere as if he had never seen him.

Li Jinghan subconsciously stood up straight and looked at Zhan Chong vigilantly. Seeing that he didn't care at all, he felt that he was so vigilant that he was at a disadvantage. The other party was just a subject. The other party is so cautious.

He snorted secretly, and turned his face to stare at the ground.

Li Jingxuan and Zhan Chong have nothing to do with each other, only know that he was the companion of the second brother when he was young, and he has been fighting at the border since then. He seems to be a capable courtier, and he only quietly pays attention to him from the corner of his eye.

Zhan Chong also felt the unfriendly eyes of several people, but he just pretended not to see them, and calmly knelt down to salute, the rules were not bad at all, "I see the emperor."

"Don't be too polite." Li Jinghuan's reaction was the same as Shifang's to his four brothers. Not only did he speak the same words, but even his tone of voice was not bad.

"I summoned you today to discuss something important." Li Jinghuan picked up a booklet from the case, and Dang Xiao hurried over to get it. Several people stood in order of seniority, so Dang Xiao presented it to Li Jingyu with both hands .

Li Jingyu had already heard Li Jinghuan talk about this matter, but he was still slightly surprised. After reading it carefully, he turned around and handed the notebook to Li Jingxuan.

Li Jingxuan skimmed through it briefly, tightened his grip on the memorial, and read it from the beginning again.

The book finally reached Zhan Chong's hands, and after looking around, it returned to Li Jinghuan's hands.

After several people had seen it, Li Jinghuan said in a deep voice, "How is it?"

Li Jinghan took a step forward, "According to my humble opinion, the matter is general, and we need to think twice before weighing it." He couldn't figure out what Li Jinghuan was thinking, the matter was general, and it was better not to agree to it rashly.

Li Jingxuan thought more than he did. The person who presented the memorial was General Fuyuan. Although the power in the hands of General Fuyuan has been cut back and forth over the years, he is no longer a high-ranking official at this time, but the relationship between the two The relationship is relatively there. He made such a note, not so much what he thought, but what the second brother wanted.

That being the case, the second brother told them not to listen to the truth.

Li Jinghuan's eyes were cold, and his sentences were like knives, "At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, there were many affairs in the court and China. I couldn't find a capable minister to assist me in handling the affairs in Beijing and China. I found my fourth brother to be the minister of the prime minister's affairs. Central officials are either deceiving their superiors, or they only have crooked ideas, and these incompetent people are also given food and salary?"

"I am determined to try to add a current affairs department, and at the same time add a special economics department. Officials from all over the country will recommend knowledgeable and prestigious sages to directly participate in the palace examination."

Although he has never voluntarily wanted to be the emperor, since he is in his position, he must seek his own government.

As an emperor, he naturally has some intentions to strengthen the country, but the weakness of the country, rotten from the root, cannot be reversed with one shot.He is not a weapon expert, and he doesn't know how to build airplanes and atomic bombs, so he can only start in this direction.

And to be honest, even if there is an atomic bomb, if it is not done well politically, this battle will not be able to be fought. Maybe the first atomic bomb "fat and water will not flow to outsiders' field" will make it easier for our own people.

However, a strong country is not a matter of a day, a year, or even a generation. Even if Li Jinghuan knows the modern political system, he is willing to take off his dragon robe and take the lead in shouting "democracy and freedom, catch up with the Premier League and the United States." Not the slightest use.

We still have to start with educating the people.

Everyone also suddenly realized that the current government officials were corrupt, the new emperor ascended the throne, and people's hearts were not in harmony. Many courtiers were making small calculations, and it was normal for the second brother to hope to recruit more talented people through the imperial examination.

It was Li Jingyu who expressed his attitude first: "Your Majesty's painstaking efforts for the country and the people, my ministers are naturally in admiration."

Li Jingxuan only hesitated for a moment, but also agreed, "The emperor is far-sighted, and my younger brother is ashamed."

He was clear in his heart, and the attitude of the second brother at this time was obvious. Firstly, he called them here to gain their support, and secondly, he wanted him to do this errand.

The new emperor reuses newcomers, and the old officials in the court must have resentment.If they are ordered to run errands, in addition to their abilities, it is more about their special identities, especially Li Jingxuan, who has a lot of friends, and letting him do it will have a soothing effect.

Li Jingyi doesn't have such a heart, he just thinks that there are not many capable ministers who are not corrupt and not corrupt.

Seeing that several people agreed, Li Jinghan glanced at them aggrievedly, and hurriedly changed his words, fearing that he would be left behind, "What the fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth brother said is very true. This is something that benefits the country and the people. My younger brother also agrees." .”

Seeing that everyone expressed their agreement, Zhan Chong also expressed his position: "I also think so."

Li Jinghuan nodded and said: "I am very relieved that you can think so. Although there are many ministers in the court, there are very few capable ministers. I will leave this matter to you brothers. I am relieved. You can go ahead and do it. What is the difficulty? Play me back."

Except for Zhan Chong, everyone bowed their heads and knelt down, "Your brother obeys the order."

Li Jinghuan nodded with satisfaction.

"As for General Zhan Chong, the border is now stable. If General Zhan Chong stays any longer, it will be a waste of talent. I transferred you back to Beijing because I have other things to entrust to you."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

"I heard that there are many strange and ingenious techniques in the West, and some water conservancy and military techniques. I heard that General Zhan Chong is well-informed and understands this, so I thought of sending the general to the Hanlin Academy to lead everyone to search for Western classics and compile them. , whichever technique is available."

Li Jinghuan sent Zhan Chong to do this job, not only had no right and no money, but also worked very hard, basically it was a thankless job.

Zhan Chong also roughly understood why he transferred himself back and why he sent himself to do this, but he wanted to take the opportunity to cut power.

It doesn't matter though.

Zhan Chong nodded in agreement: "I would like to obey the holy order, and I will do my best."

"Okay! Then I have General Lao." After saying this, Li Jinghuan added: "The general has dedicated himself to the court all these years, and I feel a little bit sorry for it. The general needs to pay more attention to rest, and don't work too hard." yes."

What this sentence says has a lot of meaning!

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Jinghuan summoned several ministers early in the morning, and now he met his brothers again. He was a little tired after fighting wits and courage. Now he relaxed and felt a little dizzy. He took a sip of tea and said: "Go back Come on, remember not to disappoint me."

"Yes, my brother (chen) is retiring."

Three days later, Li Jinghuan announced the reform of the imperial examination to the world.

After the meeting, Li Jinghuan personally selected a group of up-and-coming talents through the palace examination for those who were selected.

Li Jinghuan also knows that the reform should not be rushed, so he did not move the old ministers at first, but only expanded the quota and added new people to shake the foundation of the old forces by cultivating new forces. At the same time, it is impossible for the bureaucratic system to accommodate so many people, so he borrowed The opportunity set off a campaign to rectify corrupt officials and killed a large number of corrupt officials.

On the other hand, he also vigorously developed commerce, lifted the ban on the coast, and allowed merchants to trade by sea.This matter caused a lot of controversy at first, and the two sides were at a stalemate. Li Jinghuan ordered the opposing faction to come up with specific regulations to solve the livelihood of the people in coastal areas, but the result was naturally at a loss for words.

In the end, Li Jinghuan still agreed to cancel the sea ban, allow people to go to sea, and encourage foreign trade between officials and businessmen.

In terms of the imperial examination system, in addition to the content of the previous examinations, many other contents have been added. The court is responsible for compiling books on science and current affairs, and such subjects are added to the examinations, striving to spread scientific culture and ensuring that all candidates are A person with real talents and real learning.

There have also been some reforms in terms of taxation. There are also some nobles and princes. The corrupt and degenerates will have their titles removed from their heads and be demoted to common people; the number of donated officials will be reduced.
