The Yanjia Hall of Tai Chi Palace was just a palace where ordinary concubines lived, but for the time being, it became the place where the queen lived.

It's very simple. Xingqing Palace is still under renovation. The Supreme Emperor Li Yan and his concubines temporarily live in the Daming Palace, so after Li Ye ascended the throne, he could only temporarily live in the Tai Chi Palace.

The Tai Chi Palace was seriously damaged in the previous wars, and many palaces were dilapidated, and even the Lizheng Hall where Empress Changsun lived could not be lived.

It can be said that Li Ye's ascension ceremony may be the second-last among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and the worst one should be Suzong, after all, this person ascended the priest in Fengxiang.

Li Ye did not intend to repair the Tai Chi Palace on a large scale for the time being, so he could only make a temporary living. Just wait for Li Yan to move out and free up the Daming Palace.

Fortunately, Li Ye’s harem is not huge, and the current Tai Chi Palace is quite sufficient.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your face is a little unfair." Liu Chenyan massaged Li Ye gently and asked gently.

At this time, Liu Chenyan had already taken off her heavy headdress and was wearing a slightly thin skirt.

After Li Ye ascended the throne, he did not say that he would become the queen. Liu Chenyan, as the Princess of Shou, was naturally named Empress, Sun Mei was the Concubine Li, Wang Wanshuang was the Concubine Xiurong, Xiaoying was the Zhaoyi, Xiaoyue was the Zhaorong, He Hanyan was the Xiuyi, Li Xianglan, Zhang Manhua and others were the concubines, Wang Ci, Pei Zhenyi (Wenxi Pei's daughter) and others were not honored as talented by Li Ye because of his age. Other dowry maids such as Liu Chenyan, Sun Mei and others were all named the seventh-rank imperial daughter.

Although the empress was established, Li Ye did not establish a crown prince.

Joke, he is still so young, why are he the prince?

"It's not those ministers yet. If I want to do something, they will object." Li Ye explained.

"Then just hit them with a fist. They are definitely not strong at His Majesty." Liu Chenyan said angrily.

Li Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yan'er, you are the queen. Pay attention to your demeanor. You don't look like a queen."

Liu Chenyan stuck out her tongue and said with a bitter face, "This queen is too tired, not as good as before. I feel that other sisters have changed, unlike before, who can sit together and talk heart-to-heart talks."

Li Ye nodded, "There are gains and losses. This identity can only be adapted to. You have to be a mother in the world. It was nothing in the royal palace before, but now, Yan'er, you have to be serious, at least manage the harem well, otherwise I will not only manage state affairs, but also manage the affairs of the harem, so how can I have so much energy?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Yan'er works hard." Liu Chenyan said with a smile, "What does Your Majesty want to do and make the ministers disagree?"

"It's nothing. I just want to change the imperial examination. As a result, some ministers jumped out and opposed it just like they were stepped on their tails. I can't just dismiss these ministers or kill them because of this, so the court will be over." Li Ye did not avoid it and directly told the reason.

Liu Chenyan shook her head and thought for a while, "Yan'er doesn't understand these things, but I think it's a good idea to do this. Unfortunately, Yan'er's brothers don't understand these things, otherwise they can ask them."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Those ministers underestimate me too much. They can't stop what I want to do. They used to be, and they will be the same in the future. And what I do now is, so!"

Liu Chenyan was stunned, "What are you doing now?"

When she turned around and saw Li Ye's smirk, she felt something was wrong. Even though she reacted quickly, she was not as quick as Li Ye's moves.

With a soft cry, her body was directly picked up, and under the red-faced gaze of the palace maids, she headed towards the bed deep in the hall...

......

The next day, Li Ye accompanied Liu Chenyan, Sun Mei and his daughters and children in the garden next to the Nanhai (a small lake in Taiji Palace), and a eunuch came to report to Li Yan, the Minister of Rites, to ask for a meeting.

Li Ye was a little surprised. He wouldn't have written the memorial so quickly, so he wouldn't have dealt with him.

I will only know if I have to deal with him after seeing it.

After giving a few instructions, Liu Chenyan and others were asked to play by themselves, and he came to Liangyi Hall, while Li Yan had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing the other party with obvious dark circles, Li Ye roughly had a guess.

"Is this my dear memorial about the imperial examination reform?" Li Ye asked subconsciously.

Hearing the word "reform", Li Yi felt relieved. It seemed that His Majesty really wanted to reform. He hurriedly said, "Report to Your Majesty, since the imperial examination time has been set, I dare not delay it for too long, so I summarized the opinions of my colleagues, and then wrote this memorial overnight based on my views."

As he said that, Li Yan handed over the memorial to Zhang Wei, and then stepped aside and stood quietly.

Seeing this memorial called "Commentary on the Reform of the Imperial Examination", Li Ye picked it up and took a closer look.

There are a lot of content, about a few thousand words. Don’t think there are fewer words. This is written in ancient Chinese, which is what later generations call classical Chinese. If it is translated into vernacular Chinese, it will be tens of thousands of words.

I could write so much in one night, but it was obvious that Li Yan didn't have much rest.

The content is very rich, which shows that Li Yan is very attentive.

It was just that the other party suggested reform, which surprised him a little.

As for the reform methods, it was not what Li Ye initially conceived.

According to Li Yan's memorial, this person retained the original Jinshi and Mingjing subjects, but there were some restrictions on the quota.

In order not to go against his intentions, the other party suggested reopening the scholarship.

This is different from the scholarly subject that was abolished not long ago in the early Tang Dynasty. The newly opened scholarly subjects include the mathematical, legal, medicine and other miscellaneous subjects that Li Ye had always wanted to include in the examination content, as well as the content of current affairs, classical meanings and poetry.

It can be said that Scholars reappeared when cater to Li Ye.

After reading this memorial, Li Ye found it very interesting. Li Yan did not offend those ministers who opposed the reform, nor did he go against his intentions, but also helped him ease the conflicts with other ministers who opposed the opposition.

interesting!

However, there are many problems in this memorial, after all, it was just written in one night.

"You are intent. You haven't had a good rest last night?" Looking at Li Yi's expression, Li Ye ordered Zhang Wei next to him, "Prepare a chair for Li Shangshu."

Immediately, a eunuch brought a wooden chair to Li Yan, which moved Li Yan a little and hurriedly said, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

"Your dear, you don't have to do this. I don't want to hear my ministers fall ill in office." Li Ye said with a smile, "According to what you said in your memorial, limit the number of people in the Jinshi and Mingjing dynasties, and increase the number of people in the scholars. I wonder if you can explain it in detail, why do you have this idea?"

Li Yan replied, "Reply to Your Majesty, as Mr. Du said yesterday, Your Majesty should not be too hasty when he first ascended the throne. Yesterday, my ministers met Mr. Du, Mr. Liu and others with a firm attitude towards reform. If Your Majesty insisted on reform, it would inevitably lead to tension in the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, which would be of no use to the current court.

So after thinking about it, I felt that I could take a different approach and add new subjects, and according to Your Majesty's wishes, I would like to open corresponding subjects.

If there is only one subject in the imperial examination, the students will be caught off guard and it is possible to cause riots. Moreover, the poems and classical meanings of the imperial examination have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the scholars. If it is suddenly cancelled, I think it is inappropriate.

It just so happens that the number of people recruited by the Jinshi and Mingjing departments is relatively small every year, so I simply fixed the number of people and then increased the number of people recruited by the scholars.

In addition, His Majesty can also make appropriate adjustments and give preferential treatment to those who pass the scholar's degree.

In the long run, you can subtly change the views of the scholars in the world."

Li Ye's eyes lit up. Li Yan's suggestion would come up with a good method for him. He had never expected to do this before.

"I'm a little anxious because I'm a little anxious. However, I have many loopholes in my memorials. In two days, I'll show me a more detailed rule in two days." Li Ye said with a smile.

Li Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I wonder what the number of people in the three subjects is? What is the proportion of poor families and children from aristocratic families?"

Li Ye glanced at the other party more, but he didn't expect that the other party knew that he wanted to limit the ratio and said with a smile, "The Jinshi 20, the Ming Scriptures 30, the scholars 100, and the ratio between poor families and aristocratic families is two to three."

Two to three means that this imperial examination, children from aristocratic families can only recruit 60 people, which is a big deal.

And there are quite a few people recruited this year!

Especially the scholars, they have to recruit 100 people. It seems that His Majesty is very determined.

Later, Li Ye received many memorials from ministers one after another, some of whom were opposed and some supported, and he read them all.

But these ministers didn't know that Li Ye had already made a decision in his mind.

At the meeting two days later, a memorial for "The New System of the Imperial Examination" was released based on the opinions of the ministers.

This is slightly different from what Li Ye and Li discussed before, but it is only in terms of the number of people. In the end, the Jinshi exam was adjusted to fifteen people, and the Mingjing exam was changed to thirty-five people.

With the unification of the imperial examination reform, Li Ye did not need to hide it from it, so he made public the new system of the imperial examination this year. At the same time, Li Yan was appointed as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, Dali Temple Minister Li Ti and Jinyiwei Commander Li Zhen were responsible for supervising the imperial examination.
