I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

【Items to be settled：】

[Beijing-Luzhou Railway: Under construction! ]

[Tip: The national fortune has not declined this month, so the "Record of Destruction" cannot be upgraded! ]

Seeing the system prompt, Li Tian almost fainted.

Since the Queen gave birth, Li Tian handed over the job of reviewing memorials to Tang Hanxue.

How come there are several more backstabs!

Li Tian came to the queen's bedroom.

Tang Hanxue was reading memorials while teasing the child.

After giving birth, Tang Hanxue became more plump and more charming and feminine.

Li Tian calmed down a little and asked:

"Hanxue, has anything big happened recently?"

Tang Hanxue smiled and said, "Recent memorials have all been good news, but I have not yet congratulated you on your majesty's preparations for the Salt and Iron Conference."

Congratulations? Or mourning?

Li Tian couldn't help but curse in his heart!

Why is everyone stabbing me in the back?

"Then Queen, please tell me clearly, where does your happiness come from?"

Tang Hanxue said: "First, there was a small victory in Eastern Liao. Lord Li Cheng led the personal guards of the marquises and swept the small tribes of Northern Mang around the Lanwu grassland."

"We have completely wiped out the Beimang forces that were harassing the Lanwu grassland!"

Li Cheng!

Li Tian raised Li Cheng’s risk assessment to another level!

This guy is so dangerous!

I can’t stay in Dongliao anymore!

Tang Hanxue added: "General Yang Zhen has achieved a great victory in Western Xinjiang!"

"Before the Guiren Army returned east, they joined forces with General Yang Zhen and attacked the capital of the Yue Kingdom."

"This battle directly shocked the Western Frontier countries!"

"Now that the Western Xinjiang Protectorate has been established, the Silk Road is stable again!"

Li Tian almost fainted again!

You Yang Zhen!

Isn’t he the idiot among the lower class in Chajing?

How come he started killing people everywhere after arriving in Xinjiang?

Li Tian thought about it and decided that it must be because the countries in Western Xinjiang were too weak!

Countries in the Western Frontier, you must stand up!

This must be a coincidence!

Yes, the Guiren Army has already returned east, and Yang Zhen only has two thousand soldiers left, so he will definitely not be able to make any waves!

Everything will be fine from now on!

Li Tian comforted himself in this way.

He decided to give Yang Zhen another chance!

Li Tian already knew that the Beijing-Luzhou Railway was open to traffic.

"What happened to Daiyue?"

How has my Dai Viet improved the fortune of the country?

Tang Hanxue smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent. After Liu Wenzhuo, the runner-up, arrived in Dai Viet, he developed sugarcane products and established a college to promote education."

"Now Dai Viet is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"The income of the various prefectures in Da Yue is even higher than that of some prefectures in Da Zhou!"

"Liu Wenzhuo, the runner-up, played an indispensable role in bringing poor and cold Dai Viet onto the trade route."

"This is all due to your Majesty's keen eye! Now the court is saying that your Majesty was a model of a wise ruler in selecting talented people in the last imperial examination!"

Liu Wenzhuo!

Li Tianqi gritted his teeth!

These Confucian officials are indeed unreliable!

Originally, Liu Wenzhuo was working quietly on the new official report, with no achievements or mistakes.

Although it cannot ruin the country's destiny, at least it has not increased!

I didn't expect that once I released this guy, my country's fortune would improve!

Dangerous person!

This dangerous person must be transferred back to Kyoto as soon as possible!

Li Tian added Liu Wenzhuo's name in the small notebook.

I didn’t expect that after working so hard for so long, the country’s fortunes would actually rise again!

Li Tian felt like crying but had no tears.

Tang Hanxue saw that Li Tian was in a low mood and immediately asked:

"Why does your majesty look unhappy?"

Li Tian said: "Queen, please go to bed early. I am going to prepare for the Salt and Iron Conference!"

Early July.

In the royal garden, the imperial court built a Shiqutai following the old example of the Han Dynasty.

The Great Zhou's Salt and Iron Conference will be held here.

The court produced a certificate for participation in the meeting.

There were a total of 200 officials above the fourth rank in Kyoto and provincial governors in various places.

There were a total of 150 royal relatives, maternal relatives, and nobles.

There were a total of forty officers above the rank of Colonel of the Right Guard.

The delegation of envoys from vassal states consisted of thirty people.

There are two hundred virtuous and capable local representatives.

There are a total of twenty-five great scholars from various schools.

There are a total of thirty Buddhist abbots across the country.

There are a total of thirty-five representatives from various martial arts circles.

Gather at Shiqutai!

In July, the Shiqutai Conference was held.

In order to enjoy the cool air, the Ministry of Internal Affairs moved out several tons of ice from the royal ice storage.

Huge blocks of ice were placed in a cold basin in the center of the Shiqu Terrace.

As you walk into Shiqutai, you can feel a cool breeze.

As the emperor, Li Tian attended the meeting in person.

Following Li Tian were the dukes and nobles of the Great Zhou, as well as envoys from various vassal states.

Jeon Min-ho is a representative of Goryeo and wears traditional clothing representing Goryeo.

Following the Emperor of the Great Zhou, we walked into the Shiqutai meeting place.

He is worthy of being the Emperor of the Great Zhou!

Seeing such a grand ceremony, Jeon Min-ho was even more in awe of Da Zhou!

We must hold on to Da Zhou's thighs tightly!

Jeon Min-ho and the envoys from the vassal states sat in their seats with great awe.

The Great Zhou is indeed prosperous!

Immediately afterwards, the imperial court, officials and local dignitaries entered the venue according to their official ranks.

These people all sat opposite the emperor, representing the administrative officials of the Great Zhou Empire.

Representatives of the Right Guard entered through the side door and all sat on the side of the Shiqu Terrace.

This represents the highest military authority of the Great Zhou Empire.

They did not participate in the discussions at this meeting, but attended as representatives.

Great scholars and local virtuous people also sat opposite the emperor.

Finally, there are the leaders of various martial arts sects and religious leaders.

These people were also given seats to the side, opposite the generals.

They only have the right to attend the hearing.

Li Tian signaled to Xiao Weizi, and Xiao Weizi immediately took out the white hemp imperial edict.

The white hemp imperial edict is a special edict issued by the emperor to pay homage to the emperor.

This also represents the high standard of this Shiqutai Salt and Iron Conference.

Xiao Weizi finished reading the imperial edict and said at the end:

"The Shiqutai Salt and Iron Conference has officially begun!"

"The Cabinet Chief Minister Tang Xiaoren will read out today's agenda!"

Because there were so many topics for the meeting, the cabinet first collected the topics with the participating representatives.

Then, the ten topics for discussion at this meeting were arranged according to priority.

Only these ten topics were discussed before the emperor.

Tang Xiaoren held the cabinet's letter and said:

"The first topic of discussion today is the content of the next imperial examination!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Tian.

For scholars, this is a very important matter!

The imperial examinations in the imperial court also had a scope of examinations.

Changes in exam content represent changes in official academics.

This means that the imperial court is going to change the official academic system that has lasted for several dynasties!

The current official academic discipline is Confucianism's Neo-Confucianism.

This caught all the great Neo-Confucian scholars off guard!

The imperial examination was the official way for scholars to enter the imperial court.

Many scholars studied Neo-Confucianism because it was the official academic discipline of the court.

In other words, only by studying the syllabus of science can one have a chance of passing the exam.

Now that the imperial court has changed the official academic doctrine, it means that many scholars will no longer support Neo-Confucianism!

If there is no exam, what's the point of studying it?

This will be a heavy blow to science!
