My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Um......"

Gu Li nodded, and Chang An held her hand and asked, "Then why don't you tell Chang Lang about your nightmare? That way, you won't be afraid."

"Hmm..." Gu Li looked up at Chang An, and then said, "Just yesterday, I heard Eunuch Cheng say that Chang Lang will become the teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, and I felt a little sad."

"So at night I had nightmares..."

"I dreamed that Chang Lang finally held a high position, but later, for some unknown reason, he offended more and more people. In the end, I dreamed that Chang Lang was killed... by those adults..."

As she spoke, Gu Li's hands began to tighten, and she looked very nervous. Chang An smiled, took her hand and stood up, saying, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"Does Gu Niang know that dreams are the opposite of each other, especially nightmares. Maybe in the future, this kind of thing will not happen to us. What if something like the one in Gu Niang's dream happens?"

Gu Li's hands were still as tight as before, and she stared at Chang An closely, biting her lips. It was obvious that she did not listen to the advice and started to be serious. After all, this kind of thing was a point that could not be ignored for Gu Li, especially when it came to Chang An.

Chang An was helpless and said, "Don't worry, Gu Niang. I said that dreams and real events are the opposite. I am so lazy. I just hug Gu Niang and indulge in her beauty every day. At best, we can only sit in the position of the prince's teacher."

"Besides, we just need to do our own things normally. Except for a few people, we don't provoke them, and they generally won't provoke us."

"How is that possible!" Gu Li said, raising his voice a few notches:

"Chang Lang, why are you so confused? You can come up with so many good ideas for His Majesty, but why can't you figure out what happened later?"

"Mother Gu..." Chang An was stunned.

"Prince's teacher, that's the teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could his status not rise in the future? Becoming the Crown Prince's teacher is a position that many people want to sit in. Don't you understand, Chang Lang?"

"As long as Chang Lang becomes the prince's teacher, he will inevitably be promoted by His Majesty in the future. The higher you stand, the harder you fall. Moreover, Chang Lang told me before that he has proposed reforms to the imperial examination system and the nobility. How could he not be resented?"

"And if they dare to use the article to make a point today, tomorrow they will even say you are plotting a rebellion when you return home! These people are much more evil than you appear."

As she spoke, Gu Li became more and more excited, her eyes even misted over. Chang An gently pulled her up, held her in his arms, and said:

"I know all that Gu Niang said, and I have thought about it myself. Moreover, the reforms I proposed to Your Majesty regarding the imperial examination system and the nobility system will not affect the current nobles and students."

Gu Li raised his head from Chang An's arms and asked softly, "Really? Why?"

"Because of the revision of the imperial examination system, although the method of submitting papers was abolished, all aspects of the imperial examination became stricter. No one is allowed to enter when the examination papers are being graded. In addition, the qualifications for the imperial examination have been relaxed, and even businessmen can take the imperial examination." Chang An explained.

"Then there is the reform of the nobility system. The previous nobility will remain unchanged, but starting with our new batch of nobility, the title cannot be hereditary. This is only for future nobility and has nothing to do with the old nobility. Although these old nobility will be weakened by your majesty in the future, what does it have to do with us?"

"So that's it."

"So, in terms of the imperial examination, those who have no real ability and can only rely on investment banking to enter the government have no chance to enter the government. How can they embarrass me? And those old nobles have not been affected at all in this reform. Why are they embarrassing us? Isn't that just looking for trouble?"

Chang An patted Gu Li on the back and said, "So, dreams are the opposite. What's more, I have a baby, Daguai, at home. How could I do something that would dig my own grave?"

Gu Li blinked his eyes, then smiled a smile that could melt Chang An's heart, and said, "I know, my Chang Lang has never lied to me, hehe."

"I know that Mother Gu cares about me, so I won't do anything that will make Mother Gu worry, so Mother Gu, please don't worry, okay?" Chang An leaned down slightly and kissed Gu Li on the mouth.

But Gu Li asked again: "What if... I mean what if, in the future, Chang Lang really encounters such a thing, or is sentenced to death by His Majesty, what should we do?"

When Chang An heard this, he loosened his hand on Gu Li's waist slightly, then frowned slightly and thought about the question seriously. Gu Li thought that Chang An was a little embarrassed to answer this question, so he hurriedly said:

"Forget it, there's no chance of that happening."

But Chang An thought, what should we do if something unexpected happens? He thought about it for a while, and then said, "I will write a letter of divorce first. If someone really wants to hurt us in the future, I will divorce Gu Niang."

"Then Gu Niang will go to the house that His Majesty had previously awarded her. Then Gu Niang and Xiaoguai will not be involved. Normally, they would not make such a big fuss. If they really don't know how to appreciate it, I will ask others to protect Gu Niang."

Gu Li was stunned. What did this mean? It meant that Chang An would die by himself and let her live alone. She was so anxious that she hit Chang An immediately, but then she was afraid that she was too strong, so she stretched out her little hand to rub him, and said with a pouty mouth:

"I've already said it's just a possibility. Just a possibility is almost impossible. Why do you really have to consider it like this, Chang Lang?"

Chang An smiled and said, "Just in case."

"Humph, there's no such thing as a single event!"

......

Li Longji was sitting in the hall reviewing memorials at this time. The new decree issued two days ago had already begun to be announced to the world. He should also be thinking about how to expand the reform next, and the matter of the nobles would be left for later. Anyway, the old nobles were not affected and would not cause any trouble for a while.

At this time, an eunuch said at the door: "Your Majesty, Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites wants to see you."

"Chen Shangshu?"

Li Longji put down his red pen and raised his head. How could he not know what Minister Chen was here for today? As the person in charge of the imperial examination, he would definitely have some opinions on the changes to the imperial examination.

"Xuan."

But no matter what, we have to see it. What if Chang Yonghe's method has omissions?

Soon, Chen Shangshu came in. When he saw Li Longji, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor."

"Minister Chen, please excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Minister Chen, why are you here today?" Although Li Longji knew very well the reason why Minister Chen came, he still had to ask politely.

"Your Majesty, I am here today to discuss the reform of the imperial examination system." Minister Chen and Li Longji went back and forth and each went through the procedures.

Li Longji leaned back slightly and asked, "Minister Chen, do you think that the changes to the imperial examination system are inappropriate?"

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. I think the reform of the imperial examination is the best policy. Not only does it change the system of favoritism, but it also allows Your Majesty to select more talents. How can it be said to be inappropriate?"

"Then what's the matter today? But there are some flaws in this change?" Li Longji asked in confusion.

"I don't think it's a flaw, but has Your Majesty ever considered one thing?" Minister Chen said slowly.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the autumn examination in July is approaching, and many candidates are already preparing. Among them, many students have already prepared their submission papers, and are ready to find an adult in exchange for recommendation after entering the capital." Minister Chen began to explain.

"If we rashly abolish the system of circulating the same volume now, won't that mean that this year's imperial examination will lose talented people?"

Li Longji said: "I know."

"Then I beg Your Majesty to postpone the reform of the imperial examination and remove the travel rolls. I think it is not a bad idea to use this policy again after the spring examination." Minister Chen was delighted and felt that there was hope.

But Li Longji's next words were like a cold shower for him:

"But I have Marquis Dingkang this year," Li Longji said, "all the difficult problems and chronic diseases over the years have been properly handled by Marquis Dingkang."

"He is also preparing to participate in the spring examination next year. Let me ask those who are taking the imperial examination in the same year as him. If they have no talent and can only rely on submitting papers to enter the list, what is the point of me coming? If they have the talent of Marquis Dingkang, why do they need to submit papers for the imperial examination?"

Minister Chen said, "Your Majesty, when Marquis Dingkang takes the imperial examination, he will also need someone to recommend him. If Your Majesty is eager to recruit talented people, you should keep the manuscript for now. This way, it will be a foregone conclusion that Marquis Dingkang will serve Your Majesty in the court."

"I do know that Wang Lecheng of the Taichang Temple and Gao Zhushi of the Ministry of War were recommended by him. May I ask Minister Chen, does someone who is able to recommend others still need others to recommend him?" Li Longji asked.

"I dare to issue an edict to have only Marquis Dingkang's name on the list of candidates next year. I am even willing to hold a palace examination right now and appoint him as the Prince's Junior Tutor in front of all the officials in the court."

Minister Chen was speechless. Indeed, for a person like Marquis Dingkang, our emperor could have directly appointed him as an official. But in order to be legitimate, he was willing to wait until February next year. It can be said that this was already very rational.

"I have Marquis Dingkang, who can defeat a million strong troops!"
