As the center of the world, Luoyang has always been extremely prosperous.

After the Western Regions reopened, Chang'an naturally sprouted again, but Guanzhong was lagging behind for too long. Many products needed to be transported to Luoyang in the southeast, which actually took Luoyang to a higher level.

In the first year of Shaode, the new emperor ascended the throne. According to convention, he was to be enthroned and was scheduled to be on August 8.

The twenty-eight prefectures, the four Protectorate, the thirty-two vassal states, and almost all the juren were looking forward to this Enko.

The vast area and the number of applicants this time have created records over the years, especially the addition of scholars from the vassal states, so that the number of people exceeded 10,000 for the first time.

There were 11,389 people.

The major vassal states imitated the central government and established their own imperial examination system, but they could only hold scholars and juren examinations, while the Jinshi examinations could only come to Luoyang to participate.

"The Supreme Emperor's idea is indeed the first time to create the world!"

Sitting on the dragon throne, Li Fumu was filled with emotion. So many scholars made Luoyang crowded in an instant.

"Your Majesty, according to the Emperor's wishes, this is to gather talented people from all over the world. In this way, the court's talents will continue to rise and fall, and the scholars of the vassal states will be in a prosperous and prosperous way."

Hu Binwang coughed, and his face was full of smiles.

"Yes!" Li Fumu nodded, and then said, "Dude, in May this year, the Yellow River has been raining heavily for nearly a month, and Yunzhou is in danger. Fortunately, it was rescued. What happened to the aftermath?"

"Thanks to the Supreme Emperor's water control and sand control, the triple dam, although the flood is serious, there is no trouble at all. When the autumn harvest is over, the people will recover."

Hu Binwang stroked his beard and said.

"According to the convention, we will reduce the tax on Yunzhou by half!"

Li Fumu shook his head, and when he saw the other prime ministers being old, he couldn't help but sigh: "There is a long way to go to tame the Yellow River!"

"Your Majesty, the troubles of the Yellow River have been eliminated. The importance of the court now lies in the enshrined subjects and selecting materials for the country."

Tang Fu couldn't help but say.

"That's right!" Li Fumu said with a headache: "There are too many students in the current department, and the tribute court needs to be expanded. I will order the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 30,000 guan to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites to supervise it!"

"No!" Everyone responded.

At this time, Prime Minister Lu Yuqing couldn't help but bow and said, "I am old and weak. Please allow your Majesty to retire and return home!"

"If this is not the case, my husband can continue to do it!"

Li Fumu hurriedly said, "I just quit my face a few months after I ascended the throne, what does this mean?"

"The old minister is really old." Lu Yuqing said helplessly: "I am already seventy-four years old, but I am not strong enough!"

"I won't be sure if my husband takes back his words."

Li Fumu couldn't help but attain enlightenment.

For a moment, several prime ministers looked at each other, and it seemed that they were really going to quit.

After handling government affairs, Li Fumu had no rest, so he ran to the newly built Changshou Palace to pay tribute to the Supreme Emperor.

Although the Supreme Emperor was one in sixty, he was in good spirits and was very happy to watch singing and dancing with interest, drinking and eating meat.

"Please pay tribute to my father!"

Li Fumu said respectfully.

"Get up!" The Supreme Emperor did not mean to stop the song and Wu, and asked casually: "The emperor just needs to come every few days. There is no need to come every day, which will delay the government affairs."

"If you don't see your father, the child will have no confidence."

The sharp-eyed eunuch brought the chair. After the emperor received the approval of the emperor, he sat down: "The Marquis of Shunzhou Hu Yanzan is the one who died."

"Yeah!" Li Jia was stunned and nodded, "According to the convention, it is time to appease the court, and the meritorious generals are gradually withering."

"You have to train it well and be prepared for danger in times of peace."

The founding Dukes of the Five Kingdoms, Li Xin, Li Wei, Zhang Weiqing, and Pan Chongche, among which Pan Chongche had long passed away, and the rest of them also retired and were enjoying their grandchildren.

Guo Shouwen, Yang Tingzhang, Chen Bing, Yang Shifan and others were also in their twilight years. Thanks to the imperial doctor's life, they would have gone long ago.

And backbone generals such as Li Longye and Di Jian have also lost their lives and cannot last for many years.

A rough calculation shows that there are really not many generals that the court can use.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Li Jia suddenly turned her head and asked, "Tell me directly!"

"The wise and wise are nothing better than the father!" Li Fumu smiled and said, "I remember, did the father do a martial arts ceremony before?"

"That's right!" Li Jia nodded: "There was no convention at that time, so I remembered that I had only done it once. At that time, the army was very dissatisfied with these exams and suddenly ascended to the high position, so it stopped slowly."

"Do you want to do it again?"

"That's right!" Li Fumu smiled and said, "There were many nobles in the army before. Even if he was a headmaster and a chief of the camp, he was also a title. But now, decades have passed, and there are few nobles, so it is easier to do it."

"Although optics are useless when fighting, those who have read books are better than those who are reckless when they are cultivated."

Li Jia nodded and said, "It's the time now. You can arrange martial arts, the threshold is that you must have the fame of scholars."

"A martial artist needs to read and recognize loyalty and righteousness."

"My son knows."

After achieving his goal, Li Fumu was very happy. Before leaving, he hesitated: "Grandpa Lu wants to retire—"

"Then let him go!"

Li Jia casually said: "Leave him a decent person, and let him retire and return home."

"The few people in the Political Affairs Hall are old. Let him withdraw if they should retire. If they are appointed and removed, they will be removed. If they are appointed and removed, you won't have to tell me about this in the future. Do it yourself."

"Yes!" Li Fumu nodded and left with a smile.

Seeing his departure back, Li Jia smiled: "The training over the years has not been in vain. I also know that filial piety is true filial piety."

"But there is no day and no country has no masters. In Luoyang, there are no two emperors."

With the thoughts in his heart, Li Jia had the idea of ​​going south.

Of course, it is not a tour of the world, but a trip to Laojun Mountain Summer Resort, which is quiet and comfortable, much better than Luoyang.

In the first year of Shaode, Shanghuang traveled to Laojun Mountain at the end of June and did not return for several months.

And if you want to admire the vassal scholars who are in the style of the Supreme Emperor, you will feel regretful.

After all, Emperor Shenwu is the real founder of these vassal states. His lord and father are his sons, so why don’t they admire him?

In September, the fleet that had been voyage to the West for the third time finally returned from the West.

Over the years of conquest, the Indochina Peninsula and Malay Islands were basically conquered, and more than a dozen vassal states were established. All of Li Jia's sons had vassal states.

The fleet returned with a full load, bringing news from Ceylon Island, where there is an Anuradhapura Kingdom, which believes in Buddhism.

And it is even more rumored that to the north is the legendary Tianzhu.

But when they returned to China for several years, they realized that the Supreme Emperor had abdicated and the prince ascended the throne.

Although I had been mentally prepared, I was still frightened.

Fortunately, the new emperor has been as reassuring as ever.
