The emperor of the empire traveled and feasted all the way and told his son the story of his previous life. He went south along the canal and saw the Yangtze River, but it was already autumn. In autumn, the Yangtze River flowed rapidly and saw the turbid river water. The emperor remembered the great battles he fought here when he was young. This river that sprinkled bloody has now become the artery of the empire and the most active place in the empire's economy.

Crossing the Yangtze River means embarking on the most prosperous land in the world today and the core of the empire. On this day, the emperor told his three sons that in the new capital, there will be no more danger or direct danger.

The terrain of the Yangtze River Delta is flat and has a wide view. Due to climate reasons, this land is always full of green and has many embellishments. As the richest area of ​​the empire, people also like to decorate houses with tools of various colors or colors, so when you see them, the strong colors hit the eye.

From the port to the center of the city, there is a high-quality road paved with cement. Cement has the least aesthetic sense, but it shows industrial violence everywhere. Using it to pave the road is a symbol of wealth itself. When you arrive at the city center through the busy and noisy road, your vision suddenly opens. This is the Empire Square. White marble paves this giant square of a radius of 1,000 meters. In the center of the square, there is a huge sculpture, which is a simple imperial officer's sword, but the sword body is engraved with names one after another, and only martyrs and heroes are written on it.........

Shinkyung on the ground is a magnificent city, and there is no doubt that there are monotonous cement buildings, Western buildings with domes and stained glass curtain walls, while the Chinese-style buildings with flying eaves and brackets are the most. The neat streets are furnished with flowers and trees, gardens and ponds in the middle of the city, with various shapes. The city is neat and coordinated, but it is the angle from a overlook. In fact, each place has a style, and each place has a special place.

As the sun sets, the golden light freezes the city in the most beautiful dusk. The neat city street scenes and well-dressed pedestrians complement each other, harmonious and perfect.

When the bell rang in the city with the sound of rituals, the people of the whole city knew that the emperor of the empire had arrived at his city. After the imperial carnival passed through the main road of the city, the carnival in Shenjing began. The fireworks ignited the night sky, making the city a dream world. Singing, dance and wine filled every corner of Shenjing. On this day, the city had no sorrow, only joy.

But deep in the city of Shenjing, the real powerful people maintain the greatest awakening. The arrival of the empire's ruler will inevitably change the power structure and political ecology here. Some people will make great achievements, while others will plummet. No one wants to be the latter. Therefore, we must be sober, rational, and wise.

The emperor who had been in a half-life could always adapt to a new life, including a new palace. After all, in the first twenty years of his journey to this world, he always stayed on half of the earth. He spent more time living in a tent than living in a house, and he slept more with a knife than with a woman. More importantly, the emperor was nostalgic and stubborn. For example, his imperial study was exactly the same as the display in the capital, just because he was used to it, but the queen was not used to it, so there were a few more pots of flowers that could not be raised in Beijing in the imperial study.

When Li Junhua entered the imperial study, the emperor was packing a new pot of camellia with exquisite scissors. This camellia looked strange and was a rare good product. However, in the eyes of the emperor, there was not much difference from roses, but the emperor was still working hard. Only Li Junhua knew why his father was like this. He was adapting to his future retirement life in advance.

"How have the students who have all the imperial examinations arranged?" Li Mingxun asked.

"According to your instructions, we arranged the two hotels in the State Guesthouse and the nearby Shenghua and Fenghua. These three hotels have a total of more than 2,400 rooms, which is enough for students to use. From yesterday to mid-November, all the food and accommodation will be paid from the royal family, and it will be paid from the remaining taxes, and it should be sufficient." The prince said.

Li Mingxun nodded and was satisfied. The prince said, "There are two things to ask the father to give in. One is that the third brother will be sixteen next year. Zonglu Bureau requested the third prince to be awarded the title. The other is......."

"Cancel? Where did you call this pole?" Li Mingxun asked in surprise.

"Zonglu Bureau Zongzheng has been empty because he does not have a suitable royal family. Deputy Prime Minister Ma Youyun is working in the office. He probably wants to take advantage of the move to the capital and be happy." Li Junhua said with a smile.

"Let's reject it, Ma Donglai doesn't have to bother with this matter. What's more joyful? I'm not just staring at the change of cabinet leadership and wanting to please me." Li Mingxun waved his hand and said casually.

Li Junhua nodded: "But the third brother is indeed going to become an adult."

"Then it's so much trouble for you to be an elder brother. When you become the emperor, you will be granted a title." The emperor said.

Li Junhua responded and said, "The second thing is that the candidate for the chief examiner of this imperial examination is to ask his father to decide."

"Who has the cabinet proposed?"

Li Junhua said: "Brother Cheng means asking your father to decide."

The imperial examination has been held twice since the establishment of the empire. According to the rules, the chief examiner of such the highest level must be a cabinet minister. The imperial examination was held by Prime Minister Li Hai for the third year, and the deputy prime minister Ma Donglai for the sixth year. This year's imperial examination coincides with the cabinet change next year. Whoever serves as the chief examiner means that the term can be retained next year. Obviously, Prime Minister Li Hai has no chance, and Deputy Prime Minister Ma Donglai, who has always been seeking to remain in office and aims to be the prime minister, is eager for this important position.

"What do you mean?" Li Mingxun asked.

Li Junhua said: "In recent years, this part of education has been in charge of the deputy prime minister. The previous term was also the chief examiner of the deputy prime minister. But the minister thinks that Chief He Wenrui is more suitable. The first new imperial examination in the empire was founded by Chief He in Fujian. Now he is in charge of the central court and is ranked as a cabinet member, so he will definitely remain in office."

Li Mingxun sighed: "It's another storm of the cabinet change. Is everything now related to this matter?"

Li Junhua smiled slightly, knowing that the emperor was impatient and didn't speak anymore. Ma Donglai and He Wenrui were the biggest favorite candidates for the next cabinet prime minister, and the imperial examinations were all officials from the Beijing Ministry. Being teachers of these people is extremely important for taking charge of the cabinet in the future.

"You are free and easy, one of the old party of the King of England and the other of the King of England, you will be generous when you choose any one." Li Mingxun said unhappily.

"Please decide the decision of the father." Li Junhua bowed his head and listened to the news.

Li Mingxun thought for a while, shook his hands in annoyance and said, "Forget it, I won't choose anymore, let's do this. You prince's chief examiner, and you are the deputy chief examiner. Let Wenrui be an invigilator. All three of you should participate. What are you willing to do with this chief examiner?"

"The emperor's orders, my ministers dare not refuse to obey." Li Junhua bowed his head and said.

Li Mingxun walked to the desk, found a form, handed it to the prince, and said, "Since you are willing to do it, just do it well. The first two imperial examinations were held in Nanjing, and the results were obtained and selected in Beijing. The specific selections were handled by the people below. I didn't think there was any problem at first, but now it seems that the problem is very big. Since you are the main examination this time, you are going to cleanse up the disadvantages and create a new atmosphere."

Li Junhua took the form and found that it was provided by the Security Bureau. The data used to count the situation of the two imperial examinations, which was shocking. In the first imperial examination, the children of nobles, senior provincial and ministerial officials, and the children of provincial lawmakers, accounted for 45% of the examination personnel, and by the second imperial examination, the proportion was as high as 77%.

After the first imperial examination personnel became officials, the proportion of crimes such as corruption, dereliction of duty, and style of crimes was investigated was 12%. In just three years, 21% of the second imperial examination personnel have been sent to prison. Obviously, the selection level of the imperial examination was getting lower and lower, and it was becoming increasingly unfair. When Li Junhua saw this, he felt that the burden was heavy on his shoulders.

As night fell, on the Linshui terrace of the Prince Shin Jingcheng's mansion, Li Junwei looked at the vast Xuanji Lake and kept exclaiming: "Wow, Brother Junhong, your royal palace is so poetic, my mansion and your strokes feel like a nouveau riche."

"How is it? Should I change it?" Lin Junhong asked with a smile.

Li Junwei shook his head: "No, no change, no change. Anyway, I will only move in two years. In the past two years, I will go door to door to see it. I will always make it better than you when I learn the strengths of a hundred schools of thought."

The iron horses under the eaves jingled, which was a message from a guest. Soon, Pei Yuanqi came over and Lin Junhong said, "Yunqi, you are late, so you should be fined three glasses of wine."

Pei Yuanqi is an old wine worm, so he naturally doesn't care. After drinking three cups in a row, he said, "Prince Cheng, I'm going to help the prince do a serious business."

Li Junhua, who had never spoken, looked up and asked, "Where did I ask you to do something serious?"

Pei Yuanqi smiled and said, "It was the form you brought from the Imperial Study this morning. I probably found out the mystery on it."

Li Junhua was worried about this matter. The table already shows that there are disadvantages in the imperial examination. He is quickly moving closer to the powerful and losing fairness. But how did this be done?

"Everyone is back, don't disturb me if you don't have any orders." Lin Junhong ordered anyone around him to retreat.

Pei Yuanqi then said, "Crown Prince, what I said is all I heard, but there is no real evidence."

"But it's okay." Li Junhua said.

Pei Yuanqi whispered: "Someone sells test questions and manipulates the imperial examination!"

"No, every time the imperial examination, there are more than ten sets of test questions, all printed. It will be selected by the father the day before the exam. How will the test questions be leaked? In addition, the examiner answers and the imperial prelude are correct, and the students' reputation and reputation must be considered. Where can ordinary people control it?" Li Junhua thought for a while, shook his head and refused to agree.

"Crown Prince, although the exam questions were only confirmed before the exam, there are four written tests in the imperial examination, and the first volume cannot be controlled. If there are answers to the last three volumes, it can still ensure that the scores are among the best. What is the right answer for the examiner? As long as the examiner expresses satisfaction and appreciation, the rest will naturally look up to you. Although the imperial examination is uncontrollable, it only affects the ranking but does not affect success or failure. As for reputation and reputation, Zuo is just creating momentum..." Pei Yuanqi explained.

Li Junhua asked: "Did you know something?"

"To be honest, my uncle's cousin took the exam this year. Someone came to him and said that he could pass the imperial examination successfully in just 50,000 taels!" Pei Yuanqi said honestly.

"Then let your cousin agree, let's follow the clues!" Lin Junhong is a traditional tradition in the Security Bureau. He will hit three poles first if there are dates or no dates.

Pei Yuanqi said: "No, that person will be cut off soon."

"Why?" Li Junwei was interested.

Pei Yuanqi said: "The man took out a test question, which was not used in the imperial examination for the third year of the Empire. He asked my cousin to answer the questions in person, but his grades were bleak, so the man left without saying goodbye."

Li Junhua's expression became solemn, which shows that the group was powerful. It was not about selling it at will, but about carefully selecting and promoting it to the next level if it was already qualified.

"Junhua, it seems that this matter is even more serious than we imagined. This time, these people have to be dug out no matter how hard they are! Otherwise, they will be poisoned thousands of miles away and will be difficult to suppress." Lin Junhong said firmly.

"If you do this, you will definitely form a clique!" Li Junhua clenched his fists.

"Crown Prince, this is a secret operation, a small circle of actions, and if others don't reveal it, how can we check it?" Pei Yuanqi looked worried.

Lin Junhong said: "Yuanqi is right, it is difficult to be sure of this matter, but the examiner of the prince cannot lose his share. At least, the group that is right in the imperial preface must be able to pass the test. Even if something happens in the future, the top scorer, the second scorer and the Tanhua must not have any problems!"

Li Junwei suddenly laughed: "I have a plan, but if I don't get into the tiger's den, how can I get a tiger's son?"

"The third brother, I'm talking about serious business, don't mess around." Li Junhua reminded.

Li Junwei said: "I don't know anything nonsense. I mean, I know people but not people. Brother, you are the chief examiner. If you open your eyes and see through a few people's hearts, you will naturally be perfect in front of your examiner. What is your character and knowledge depends on their private behavior."

"What tricks do you have? Tell me quickly."

Li Junwei said with a smile: "We send individuals to pretend to be students who take the imperial examination, so can we observe them at close range?"

"Three, you won't talk about yourself, right?" Lin Junhong smiled: "How old are you? It's so different. The youngest person in the big exam is seventeen years old."

Li Junwei waved his hand: "Of course it's not me."

Lin Junhong said: "The prince and I are not good at it. We have come into contact with too many students when we moved the capital. We are familiar with each other. The face of Yuanqi is also known to the nobles. If we talk about other people, we may not be able to trust them."

"There is another person that our prince can trust." Li Junwei joked.

"who?"
