As Enko approached, the atmosphere between the court and the country became increasingly strong.

The chief examiner, the examiner, and the popular imperial examination innovation are also in constant hustle and bustle.

Even in King Xue's mansion, several concubines frequently pondered and wanted to learn some news.

King Xue Li Changbai said angrily: "I don't know you? Either ask for your family or be greedy for money. What kind of constitution is it for a good palace?"

"From today, all those who discuss the government affairs and imperial examinations will be sent home and calm down!"

Seeing that King Xue was angry, everyone had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes.

In Li Changbai's heart, the joy of the eldest son's birth was also completely wiped out.

He simply went straight to the summer resort, where the emperor lived.

The entire summer resort is divided into four palace groups.

The Yangshou Hall headed by the Supreme Emperor, the Qingliang Hall where the emperor and the harem are located, the Yilezhai where the princes are located, and the last herders' pavilion where the princes and ministers are located.

King Xue was naturally with the princes and stayed in Yilezhai, with more than a dozen side halls and courtyards, which were more than enough to accommodate their family.

When King Xue went out, dozens of people from inside and outside accompanied him, and soon arrived at the Qingliang Hall where the emperor was.

At this time, it was very lively, and the princes and ministers gathered together, which was extremely noisy.

"Why is King Xue coming?" Li Qing sat alone, the queen and several concubines on the side. When he heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Let him come in!"

When the princes heard that the eldest brother had arrived, they immediately held their breath and did not dare to make trouble.

Emperor Chengchang is worthy of being the son of King Ren, and his fertility is obvious to all. In just twenty years, he gave birth to ten sons and nine daughters, setting a new record for Emperor Shaode and Emperor Zhenglong. The palace was very lively.

"I have met my father, mother, and all the ladies!" King Xue bowed.

"Hello, brother!" The princes saluted in a low voice.

"Yeah!" the emperor smiled and said, "You are here at the right time. Come and see what this is!"

Li Changbai was stunned and then turned his eyes and saw a huge, slender neck, eating leaves from time to time, appearing several feet away, which is daunting.

He couldn't help but be dumbfounded, took a few steps before he recovered, and smiled bitterly: "The first time I saw such a monster."

"This is Qilin!"

The emperor said excitedly: "The prosperous age is coming and the unicorn appears!"

"This is auspiciousness sent by the country!"

Follow the country?

Li Changbai's heart changed and he immediately realized that this was one of the three major vassal states that destroyed the Palorian Kingdom (Bangladesh) and was the forty-three sons of Emperor Shizu, who had been in the second generation.

This long-necked object has a head that looks like a dragon, a body that looks like a horse or a deer, a cow's tail and colorful patterns on its body, which is indeed the same as a unicorn.

Although the neck is a little longer, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and each one is different. Qilin's son must have had some changes.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Li Changbai hurriedly said: "Under the rule of the father, the world is under great governance, which is no less than the rule of Zhenguan and Shenwu."

"I can't achieve the rule of Shenwu."

Li Xi was excited for a while before saying, "I am beyond my reach for Emperor Shizu. I have no regrets about being able to achieve one of the most wise things."

The princes stood solemnly and dared not speak.

And the same "kirin" stretched its neck, ate leaves, and relished it, and ignored these people.

Then, there were singing and dancing performances, juggling, etc., to help you enjoy the fun.

After the emperor was over the initial excitement, he was a little indifferent.

King Xue stayed to accompany him.

"Why do you have something to come to me?"

The emperor asked softly, with some confusion in his eyes.

Although King Xue is not outstanding, his years of education have become a middle-class person. He has his own opinions on the court and the country, and he will not come to the emperor at any time.

Now that he actually came to the door, the emperor was a little surprised.

"Father!"

King Xue pondered for a while and said softly: "Now the public opinion of the government and the public is in full swing, and they are all in verbal innovation. When I hear it, I don't know whether it is good or bad."

"Innovation is of course good."

The emperor thought about it and chuckled: "The imperial examination articles are gradually decaying. This is a consensus between the government and the public, and naturally it needs to be changed."

"There are too few Jinshi places and too many pursuits, so we have to change it."

"After a long time, it's like a table legs, which will definitely decay. Either change his legs or change the table again..."

The emperor's voice gradually dragged on and seemed meaningful.

"I thought it was like this too!" King Xue said seriously.

"No, what you think is what you think?"

The emperor then sneered and said, "This is what Emperor Shizu, who often jokes with me, I will give it to you now."

"The boy is puzzled!" King Xue lowered his head.

"Emperor Shizu re-established the Tang Dynasty. Although it was called the Tang Dynasty, it was very different from the former Tang Dynasty, and it can be said that it was no less than the New Dynasty."

The emperor continued to explain: "Take the local area as an example, the Tao has become a smaller palace, and there are also patrol, magistrate, military chief, and transfer commander, who divides his power by five points. Therefore, the local government will be governed."

"Similarly, in the center, the power of the prime minister was transferred to the yamen, the governor's office of the Five Army, and the Military Affairs Office, and were constantly divided."

"As a result, the status of the prime minister cannot be compared with each other."

"So, the number of shirks and procrastinations is increasing. Many people feel dissatisfied when they see this and want to make a comeback."

"Today's imperial examinations will be the political affairs hall tomorrow, and we will take it step by step."

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh: "They all think that the emperor will rule with his throne, and the world will naturally be peaceful."

"Bah!" the emperor spat rudely and said, "How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world? How can the system of our ancestors change at will?"

"You mean, is this seizing power?"

King Xue was shocked. Isn’t this contrary to the meaning of the ruler and the subject?

"The seizure of power is a bit exaggerated, it can be said to be infringement."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "My ministers are used to being able to gain more and more."

"If it is reformed, there will inevitably be powerful ministers, and only those who can take power can do it. In this way, tradition will inevitably be formed, and the imperial power will gradually be trapped."

"You have to understand the principle of decentralization and governance."

King Xue understands it.

...

Luoyang.

After Sansu visited Ouyang Xiu, he visited the scenery around Luoyang, and felt relaxed and uncomfortable.

"It turns out that it is the capital, and there is no refugee."

Su Shi couldn't help but sigh.

"Disaster?" Aside from the side, a scholar suddenly came over and snorted coldly: "The refugees in Luoyang Prefecture are sold every day, but they are all sold."

"Why did this gentleman say this?" Su Shi asked hurriedly.

But he refused to say that the three of them hurriedly persuaded him for a long time. He said, "The nobles and high-ranking officials of the court all like to buy land in Luoyang Prefecture. Although the taxes are heavy, it is a good thing that is profitable. You can buy some vegetables at a high price."

"As a result, a large number of people were forced to become refugees, lost their land, and then taken away by the government offices to go to the vassal states to enrich their population."

"There are tens of thousands of people from Luoyang Prefecture who leave forcibly every year!"

Upon hearing this, Sansu was frightened. What a cruel method this was!

The rich are crisscrossing and the poor are without a place to stand.

The refugees don’t even have the power to live in the countryside.
