When the 20th year of Zhenguan came to an end, Li Kuan unexpectedly attended the last court meeting.

This made many people nervous.

Could something big happen to the last court meeting?

Can you still have a good time this year?

Even Li Shimin, who was sitting on the imperial throne, was a little nervous.

He was also afraid that Li Kuan would cause trouble today.

As for Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi, their expressions became even more complicated.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

There are many cards that can be played in the hands of the Chu Prince's Mansion, and they don't know how Li Kuan will play cards.

"Wuji, no matter what Li Kuan says later, I will stand up and oppose it first, and then you can adapt to the situation and see if you want to further invite everyone to stand up and oppose it."

Gao Shilian stood next to Changsun Wuji, and immediately whispered when he saw Li Kuan.

"Don't worry, we haven't heard any news, so there shouldn't be any major issues.

If something special suddenly appears in Li Kuan, then as long as your Majesty is not asked to make a decision immediately, it should not have much impact."

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and tried not to affect his emotions.

During this period, his pressure was actually the greatest.

On the one hand, he was worried that Li Shimin would have any thoughts about him after he knew the rumor.

On the other hand, he was also worried that Li Kuan would behave in extreme ways.

Although he hoped Li Kuan would do something wrong, he did not want such a mistake to come at the cost of his own life safety.

The Chu Prince's Mansion is very evil, and they can always create all kinds of strange things.

If you really have to arrange someone to deal with yourself behind the scenes, then it is really a big problem.

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian were whispering here, and some other court officials were similar.

"Yan clan, who did the prince have with you in advance, why did he attend the court meeting today?"

Ma Zhou was also surprised that Li Kuan attended the court meeting today.

The main reason is that the atmosphere in Chang'an City is quite strange during this period.

Any actions of the Changsun Party, the Prince's Party and the Chu King Party are very attractive.

"No, Your Highness of the King of Chu hasn't looked for me these days. I originally wanted to see the prince, but I didn't see him either."

Xu Jingzong also found it strange.

Originally, he thought Li Kuan was planning to pass this storm in a low-key manner and then slowly plan for major events in the future.

At that time, I thought now that I still don’t know enough about the prince.

"Then we will act according to the opportunity later. The prince didn't give us anything, and probably we didn't need to do anything special."

Ma Zhou thought about it and felt that it would be too late to deal with something later.

...

"Start up and report if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

When Lan and the slightly sharp voice sounded in the hall, the last court meeting of the 20th year of Zhenguan officially kicked off.

Seeing that the various yamen in the court were about to have a holiday, the matters discussed today were basically nothing big.

Of course, every department has to stand up and show its presence, so the court meeting is still very lively.

It was originally a good situation for you and I, everyone, but when Li Kuan stood up after two "cough coughing" sounds, the surroundings immediately became quiet.

Li Kuan rarely attends court meetings and does not like to attend court meetings. Everyone knows this situation well.

Now that he suddenly attended the last court meeting of this year, he was in the context of rumors spreading in Chang'an City, everyone's attention was naturally different.

Whether it was Li Zhi, Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin and other personnel, they were a little curious about what Li Kuan would throw out today.

"Your Majesty, after the New Year, the spring examination for the 21st year of Zhenguan will soon begin.

The imperial examination system has been in operation in our Tang Dynasty for nearly 30 years. Now it can be said that it has achieved fruitful results and has made indelible contributions to the development of our Tang Dynasty.

In recent years, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty has been constantly changing in order to adapt to the continuous development of the situation.

However, with the continuous changes in the demand for talents in the Tang Dynasty, the current imperial examination system is necessary to further reform.”

As soon as Li Kuan said this, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the imperial examination reform is a very important matter, it is not that fatal for most people.

Anyway, after several reforms in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was already beyond recognition.

In the past, noble families could have many ways to create things similar to cheating in the imperial examinations. Now with the Hu Ming system and various other measures, the difficulty immediately becomes less than the same level.

Li Kuan just reformed again, and that was the case.

However, Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Kong Yingda and others became nervous.

Although the imperial examinations have been repeatedly reformed, the status of Confucianism is actually relatively high.

The Jinshi subject has always been higher than other subjects. If Li Kuan aims to target the Jinshi subject, it would be deadly.

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and all walks of life have made indelible sharing for the development of our Tang Dynasty.

In order to allow the court to further select talents through the imperial examination system, the Wei minister suggested relaxing restrictions on participating in the imperial examinations in all walks of life.

Except for some special personnel such as criminals, other industries should allow them to participate in the imperial examination to reflect the fairness and justice of the imperial court in selecting talents."

Although with Li Kuan's efforts, the court's restrictions on merchants participating in the imperial examinations were greatly relaxed.

However, there are still many thresholds for the three religions, slaves, and some craftsmen.

Even if you seem to be able to participate, you may not actually have a chance.

This time, Li Kuan was preparing to completely relax the threshold. As long as people who did not violate discipline, they were allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

This can also be regarded as further consolidating the influence of the Chu Prince's Mansion among personnel from all walks of life.

"People have different levels. If everyone can participate in the imperial examination and become an official of the court, then wouldn't this world be in chaos?"

As soon as Li Kuan finished speaking, Kong Yingda stood up.

For him, expanding the scope of the imperial examination personnel seems to be beneficial to expanding the influence of Confucianism, but Kong Yingda is very clear about what is going on.

The newly added imperial examination personnel generally do not participate in traditional subjects such as the Ming Jing and Jinshi.

In other words, if the imperial examinations are reformed this time, the status of the other subjects may be getting closer and closer to the Mingjing subjects and Jinshi subjects.

This is something he doesn't want to see.

However, seeing Kong Yingda jump out to fight Li Kuan’s arm, Changsun Wuji and Li Zhi were relieved.

They are a little confused about whether there is any profound meaning behind Li Kuan's proposal, so they still don't know whether they should support or oppose it today, or be a bystander.
