Princess Yiyang is the eldest daughter of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Because she was born early and was well-behaved and cute, she was loved by Emperor Gaozong of Tang for several years. However, with the death of Concubine Xiao Shu, her misfortune also followed. She was shot into the palace by Wu Zetian by Wu Zetian and did rough work with her servants.

When a princess with a noble status falls into the situation of a servant, she will often be hated and ridiculed by her servants. What’s terrible is that after she is thrown into the palace, no one remembers her existence again, so she can only live a tragic life.

The one who made Princess Yiyang see the light of day again was Prince Li Hong.

Li Hong was the eldest son of Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Because of his "kindness and virtue", he enjoyed a high reputation at that time.

Once, Li Hong inspected the Yeting Court and was surprised to find that there were two princesses living there, and they were already very young. He was kind and immediately submitted a letter to Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Wu Zetian, hoping to marry the two princesses who were married to women and restore their princesses.

Wu Zetian could not object to Li Hong's advice, so she had to agree reluctantly and casually chose the guard who called Quanyi as her son-in-law.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang was quite displeased when he saw this, but he did not say anything. When Wu Zetian saw it, he knew that he was dissatisfied, so he had to grant Quanyi a position as Zuo Guoyi of Qizhou Prefecture.

After Wu Zetian established the Wu Zhou regime, she vigorously suppressed the Li Tang royal family and established a rumoral mechanism. Soon, Quan Yi was falsely accused of rebellion and was executed by Wu Zetian.

Princess Yiyang, who lost her husband, died of fear soon afterwards in the political storm caused by Wu Zetian.

However, Concubine Xiao Shu's youngest daughter is brave and resourceful. When Concubine Xiao was killed by Wu Zetian, Princess Gao'an was only 6 years old. However, Wu Zetian did not let her go because she was young, so she and her sister Princess Yiyang directly led her into the court.

Later, Princess Gao'an was helped by the help of the prince Li Hong, and under the arrangement of Wu Zetian, she married the guard Wang Xu. Of course, after Wang Xu married her, she rose to her peak and her official rank was repeatedly promoted.

After Wu Zetian established the Wuzhou regime, he launched a political struggle to purge the old subordinates of Li Tang. Wang Xu was secretly sued for rebellion and was executed with Quan Yi.

After Wang Xu's death, Princess Gao'an was locked in the palace again. However, Princess Gao'an was a smart person. In order to save herself, she called herself filial piety. She didn't eat or drink for more than 90 days. She was about to be in the world. Unexpectedly, she was dying, but suddenly said that Guanyin came down to earth and soon appeared in front of everyone with full spirit.

Everyone was surprised and asked her why she was suddenly healthy. She claimed that she had received the protection of Guanyin Bodhisattva. So she passed on ten, ten to hundreds, and it was soon spread to Wu Zetian. At that time, Wu Zetian praised Buddhism and claimed that she claimed that she was the emperor, Maitreya Buddha, who came to earth to save all living beings.

Therefore, although Wu Zetian knew that Princess Gao'an was fooling people, she could not expose her. In addition, Princess Gao'an could not pose a threat to her, so she let Princess Gao'an go.

In 714 AD, Princess Gao'an, who lived 66 years old, not only saw Wu Zetian's death, but also Princess Taiping's death. She saw that the grudge finally came to an end, so she passed away suddenly.

Wu Zetian was too cruel and killed too many people in the Li family. So Li You knew that Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were not the same, but he still asked his mother to protect the two. Li You was worried that Wu Zetian would be too vicious to the descendants of the Li family in the future.

At least now that they have their own mother, these children can still be carefree. If they lose their mother, they will really have nothing.

But what Li You didn't expect was that it was precisely because of this that Wu Zetian hated his mother's wife, and Wu Zetian actually extended his hand to his mother's wife.

Li You looked at Yueying on the side and smiled, "Please help me see more about the things in the harem. My mother's side is still the same as before, letting her mother pay attention to her. Wu Meiniang is not a good person."

"Li Lang I know...!" Yueying nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Yaoyu walked in and said, "Your Highness...all the people are here..."

"Oh...! Everyone is here, okay... Then I'll wait a while and go there...!" Li You smiled and stood up, shouting to Li Mingda: "I'll leave first if I have something to do. You guys have fun, don't fight!"

"I understand..." Li Mingda responded soon.

Following Li You left the stadium, and under Yaoyu's protection, Li You came to his own conference room. Li You's conference room was in a garden, with houses, pavilions, springs, stones, flowers and plants... and a small stream. Li You walked across the bridge and came to the conference room.

Seeing Li You come in, everyone in the conference room stood up and bowed and shouted, "Greetings to Your Highness."

Li You laughed: "Everyone is free, we are all family, we don't need to do this..." As he said that, Li You signaled everyone to sit down, and everyone sat down at Li You's instructions.

These people are Xu Damao... Liu Dageng's Dog-headed Military Advisor, now Li You's middle-level manager, and received a sixth-rank title, Zhou Chuanxi, former governor of Xiangzhou, current minister of the Ministry of Revenue, classical Chinese, former poison scholar, and now fifth-rank official... The others are also Li You's confidants, but there is one characteristic of the people here, that is, they are all from poor families.

The reason why Li You brought all the poor families together this time was to reform the imperial examination system. Li You had already communicated with these poor officials in advance, and this time Li You asked for reforming the imperial examination system.

This imperial examination system must have the characteristics of fairness and justice. Candidates do not have age, status, family and other conditions. As long as they are talented, even poor children can participate.

Moreover, the purpose of this reform of the imperial examination system is to select as many intellectuals of low origins as possible, because the talents selected from the lower levels will be considered more for the common people and truly fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of parents, making politics more clear and honest, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It also injects fresh blood and vitality into existing officials.

The selected talents are all obtained through hard study and adhere to Confucian teachings, so they all have high qualities.

Li You wanted to abandon the previous imperial examination system, because the previous imperial examination system was completely the interests that the scholars and officials saw, and entered the official ranks through recommendations and recommendations. However, this would be very dangerous. What kind of danger? The danger of collectively fighting against the imperial power. Now such danger is too obvious, so Li You want to break this danger.

Also, if this imperial examination system with hereditary system cannot be broken, then those aristocratic families will be more expensive and the rich will be richer; and away from the oppressed slaves of this class, the poor people, but have no advantage to compete with them; after all, all resources are bound by money.

Li You changed the imperial examination system in order to make poor students' hard work turn into grades, thus changing the fate of their family. What surprised Li You was that soon, Li You got a good imperial examination measure, that is, to the fame.
