The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 206 The Divine Bird implements the imperial examination system

Seeing this, Li Xinni smiled and did not refuse. When she came, she didn't have time to have breakfast.

The morning dynasty was not too early, and they did not have to get up at four or five in the morning like later dynasties. The normal time for premature birth was at Chenshi.

The plan for a year is in spring, and the plan for a day is in the morning.

Li Shimin looked at his sister, who still had the same beautiful face as before. He looked at the bronze mirror aside and saw his own appearance in his forties reflected in the bronze mirror. He couldn't help but sigh:

"My sister has been away for ten years, and when she returns, she is still unchanged, and all of us are already old..."

Li Xinni, who was eating breakfast, looked up at Li Shimin. She was silent for a moment, as if she didn't know how to answer, but she still said: "My youth is because of the divine bird..."

Speaking of this, Li Xinni paused, then looked at Li Shimin and said, "I wonder if Shimin remembers Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

"Still remember!"

Li Shimin sighed softly and said: "Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; using people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses; using history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs!"

"Do people in the world remember that Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty was rumored to have lived a second life and reigned for more than a hundred years?"

Hearing what Li Xinni said, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and took a sip of porridge and said: "It's just an unofficial history record. There is no record of it in the history books of the Pre-Han Dynasty!"

At this time, although Li Shimin expressed disbelief in his words, he already believed it in his heart.

"If you want it, Shimin, you can too!"

Of course what Li Xinni said was to let Li Shimin live a second life. At worst, she would ask the divine bird to help Li Shimin live a second life.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then put down the empty jade bowl in his hand and said, "That's it! How can I be blessed with immortality?"

"Every generation naturally has its own mission. I just need to complete my mission!"

"Just like our father..."

Hearing Li Shimin talk about the Supreme Emperor, Li Xinni's face also changed.

But he heard Li Shimin continue: "According to what the imperial doctor said, the emperor and the empress..."

Li Xinni also understood, and the two of them had breakfast silently, and no one mentioned anything about immortality.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court!"

Outside, a waiter couldn't help but urge.

Li Xinni and Li Shimin quickly prepared and then each got into their own cars.

"Sister, go first, don't wait for me!"

Li Shimin said to Li Xinni who was driving beside him.

"it is good!"

Li Xinni nodded, and then headed to the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty.

Weiyang Palace is magnificent, majestic and solemn.

Coupled with the renovation and expansion of the Tang Dynasty, it added a sense of grandeur.

In the huge Weiyang Palace, hundreds of officials were sitting in rows, quietly waiting for the emperor's arrival. Of course, there were also people whispering to each other.

In his words, he seemed to be discussing the news that has been spreading in Chang'an City recently - Princess Yong'an has returned!

"Princess Yong'an has indeed returned! When we came here today, many colleagues saw Princess Yong'an's car in front of the palace gate!"

"It seems that Princess Yong'an is indeed back!"

"I just don't know where Princess Yong'an has been in the past ten years?"

"Of course I want to travel around the world and indulge in the mountains and rivers!"

"..."

"Looking back at how beautiful Princess Yong'an was when she was in Chang'an City, but she left Chang'an. Now ten years later, will she still look the same?"

"How is that possible! In ten years, we have transformed from the prime of life into an old man!"

"The young man has become a mature man!"

"..."

Just as the officials in the court were whispering, suddenly a waiter outside sang loudly, "Princess Yong'an has arrived!"

"Princess Yong'an has arrived!"

"Princess Yong'an has arrived..."

Three loud chants were carried from outside the palace into the palace, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time!

The officials in the court couldn't help but become quiet. The discussion about Princess Yong'an just now seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

Everyone couldn't help but stare outside, looking forward to the arrival of the princess outside!

For a time, the entire Weiyang Palace fell into silence, and you could hear a needle drop!

As time passed, a figure finally appeared outside.

The figure is illuminated by the sun. It was difficult to see the appearance clearly, but as they walked into the palace, the face gradually became clearer, and the appearance of Princess Yongan finally appeared in front of them!

"Princess Yong'an!"

"It's really Princess Yong'an!"

"Princess Yong'an is still so beautiful!"

"Ten years have passed, and Princess Yong'an's appearance has not changed at all. Could it be that Princess Yong'an is really immortal?"

Everyone looked shocked, staring dumbly at the dressed-up woman in front of the palace gate, but then they realized that she was Princess Yong'an, a member of the royal family, and could not look directly at her. They all lowered their heads immediately, out of respect.

Li Xinni was not unhappy at all about this.

After all, it is a fact that my appearance has not changed. How can I not shock others?

After all, she is not a narrow-minded person.

Some of the maids and officials in the palace also looked at Li Xinni. Among them, there were also women who came out of the palace. They were familiar with the story of Princess Yong'an.

At this time, they actually saw a real person and knew that their benefactor was Princess Yong'an in front of them. How could they not be excited.

"I've met Princess Yong'an!"

The next moment, everyone in the palace saluted Li Xinni respectfully. This salute made them particularly respectful.

Li Xinni looked into the palace, sizing it up, and the appearance of the palace had changed slightly from the one in her memory. Suddenly, she knew that ten years had passed.

Looking at the officials in the palace, except for a few familiar faces, the rest all looked unfamiliar.

Li Xinni nodded slightly, and then said softly: "Excuse me!"

"Princess Xie Yong'an!"

All the civil and military officials looked at Princess Yong'an. Among the civil officials, they naturally knew about Princess Yong'an, and they naturally admired her for adopting and educating orphans from all over the world.

The military attachés also looked at Princess Yong'an. They thought of their comrades who died in the battle, and their wives and daughters had no one to take care of them at home. It was Princess Yong'an's palace and Junzilou who came to help.

Help the sons and daughters of soldiers to grow up and even have a brighter future.

"Princess, this way..."

At this time, a female official from the palace came over and respectfully guided Li Xinni. Li Xinni nodded slightly and followed the female official to the seat at the front.

After sitting down, Li Xinni looked at everyone and found that everyone was a lot more reserved and did not dare to speak.

But this was also a short period of silence. After a while, a loud singing came from outside again:

"Your Majesty is here!"

Emperor Li Shimin also arrived.

Wearing a bright red imperial crown, he walked in slowly from the outside with a majestic look on his face.

"I have met His Majesty!"

In the main hall, all civil and military officials saluted respectfully, and Li Xinni on the side also saluted.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Xinni, who was standing aside, and then stepped a little faster, walked to the throne, and said loudly: "Dear ladies, please stand up!"

While saying this, Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at Li Xinni beside him. “My dear friends, can you tell me something?”

After all the etiquette was completed, Emperor Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials below, and then asked aloud.

"Back to Your Majesty, people in the Western Regions respect Your Majesty as the Khan of Heaven. I hope Your Majesty can respond!"

At this time, an official came out and said so.

"Tian Khan?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was also a little stunned, and then his face returned to its ancient calmness, but he was also happy in his heart, so he said: "That's right!"

Naturally, other people will be responsible for these things, and there is no need for him to do everything himself.

Afterwards, everyone met again to discuss domestic matters.

When the meeting was about to end, Li Xinni slowly stood up.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xinni.

They also knew that Princess Yong'an had just come back and was attending the court meeting. She would definitely have something to say before the court meeting. In fact, they were also waiting quietly.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Li Xinni put a faint smile on her face, then took out a stack of paper from her sleeve, and handed it to the waiter beside her.

"This is a strategy I have come up with for the talented people in the world in the past ten years. I hope your Majesty will take a look!"

"Oh?"

After hearing Li Xinni's words, he looked at the stack of papers in the waiter's hand again. Even Li Shimin couldn't help but show doubts.

After all, he had never heard Li Xinni say it before.

When the civil and military officials in the court heard this, they were also confused and didn't know what Princess Yong'an was talking about.

Is it about talented people?

This made them wonder.

There are many talented people in the world, but there must be someone who can appreciate them, otherwise, I'm afraid they will be "mediocre" and cannot be reused!

At this time, according to what Li Xinni said, is there a way to solve this problem?

Not to mention, there are many powerful families who control the talented people in the world and suppress the children of poor families.

But on the throne, Emperor Li Shimin looked at the stack of papers presented by Li Xinni. As he looked deeper, the expression on Li Shimin's face became more solemn.

After a while, he took a long breath, then handed the paper to the waiter on the side, "pass it to all my dear friends!"

"Yes!"

Later, the paper came into the hands of many courtiers, and as they watched, solemn expressions appeared on their faces.

Time passed slowly, no one was in a hurry, and the time gradually reached noon, but it was obvious that the court meeting was still going on.

Because there is a lot written on the paper, if the waiter reads it out, there may be mistakes. Only by seeing it in person can you truly understand the meaning.

Therefore, Li Shimin chose to let hundreds of officials pass it on one by one.

Finally, the paper returned to Li Shimin's hand again, and Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials in the hall and asked: "Dear ladies, what do you think of the imperial examination system proposed by Princess Yong'an?"

calm!

Quiet!

No one answered.

These officials, more or less, have the shadow of aristocratic families behind them, so no one will be the first to express their opinion.

Seeing this, Li Xinni didn't know what they were thinking, so she had to move out of a great god.

But Li Xinni said slowly: "The Divine Bird also knows about this matter. When the imperial examination system was written down, the Divine Bird also had some opinions..."

As soon as these words were said, everyone's expressions changed slightly and their eyes flickered, although they were not as calm as before.

What they didn't expect was that the imperial examination system was actually promoted by the divine bird.

They not only recalled everything about the divine bird in history, whether it was the Qin Dynasty or the former Han Dynasty, every major reform seemed to have the shadow of the divine bird.

And every dynasty will also respect the sacred bird.

This is the case even in the Tang Dynasty.

And when they heard that the imperial examination system was promoted by Shenniao, they suddenly became uneasy.

"This imperial examination system concerns the world's talents and should be implemented as soon as possible!"

The first official spoke.

"The imperial examination system will be related to the appointment of talents in the imperial court, so we must be cautious!"

"This system is wonderful!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal..."

……

For a moment, everyone in the court supported the implementation of the imperial examination system without any complaints.

Seeing this, Li Shimin and Li Shimin also sighed a little at the power of the divine bird, and then felt a little happy in their hearts.

When Emperor Li Shimin heard this, he immediately said: "In that case, we will implement the imperial examination system in the next period of time!"

"At the same time, we encourage virtuous people in the world to open private schools. Anyone who opens a private school will be exempted from certain land taxes and various preferential treatments..."

Emperor Li Shimin began to arrange the implementation of the imperial examination system.

The imperial examination system was able to be implemented in China's feudal dynasty for two thousand years, which is progressive after all, but the implementation of the imperial examination system did not happen overnight.

There are many systems that need to be matched, and even some decrees that have been implemented by the court for a long time need to be changed or abolished.

The impact this has on the world is undoubtedly huge!

At noon, the emperor held a banquet in the palace for the civil and military officials. It was not until the end of noon that the civil and military officials came out of the palace one after another.

And for the first time, the three words "imperial examination system" appeared in the ears of people all over the world!

"Imperial examination system?"

"What is the imperial examination system?"

"The so-called imperial examination system means that the imperial court encourages virtuous people in the world to open private schools and accept students to study."

"Yes, the imperial court will verify the students' identities regularly, hold exams at fixed times, and assess students' talents and knowledge. After that, they will be awarded certain titles and can enjoy certain rewards!"

"After participating in the assessment for a certain period, the imperial court will confer official positions on the students and become imperial officials!"

"Even, you can reach the sky in one step and meet the emperor!"

"What?! That's so! Then... won't my son also be able to enter the school?"

I saw a small vendor with a surprised look on his face. He was a vegetable farmer outside the city and came to the city to sell vegetables and support his family.

After hearing the news, he was immediately shocked.

Their ancestors were all farmers and none of them could read, so they were so shocked and ecstatic when they heard the news.

Everyone knows that only by being literate can you have the chance to become an official and be able to honor your ancestors!

"Of course! This imperial examination system was proposed by Princess Yong'an, just for the sake of the poor people in the world!"

"Princess Yong'an is truly a true Bodhisattva, serving the country and the people!"

At this time, Buddhism had been introduced into the Tang Dynasty.

"You should enshrine the statue of Princess Yong'an and Bodhisattva in your home!"

"This is a great thing to say!"
