The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

After watching Li Yu'an walk away, Liang Chongyue did not send him out of the Meridian Gate. Fei He had already brought people waiting there. If anything happened, Fei He would handle it.

When Liang Chongyue returned to the Yangxin Palace, the system was holding the doll that Iris and the others had just made for it a few days ago, lying in the sunniest place in the entire Yangxin Palace, sleeping in the sun.

"It's quite pleasant."

When Liang Chongyue passed by the system, he could still hear its slight snoring. Yun Ling brought the milk tea that had been prepared long ago and placed it next to His Majesty.

As usual, Liang Chongyue took a sip of milk tea and began to review memorials.

Today's memorials are obviously of higher quality than before. If the memorials written by ministers in the past were empty and incomprehensible, today's are obviously different.

In the past, most of the political affairs debated in the court every day were not something that ordinary ministers dared to interfere in, so even the memorials submitted to the court avoided the important issues and did not get to the point.

When talking about their hometown today, many poor students who are well-read in poetry and literature put their ambitions when they were students on paper. It seems that if there were more paper available for memorials, they could have written even more.

"Go get me a basket."

Liang Chongyue was reviewing the memorials while giving instructions to Yun Ling without even raising his head.

After a while, she heard slight movements beside her. Yun Ling had already placed the bamboo basket at her feet.

Liang Chongyue classified the reviewed memorials into different levels and put the most useful ones into a bamboo basket.

The entire dragon case was filled with memorials, and Liang Chongyue did not finish reviewing them until sunset. This was mainly because it was rare for court officials to have such a spirit of self-sacrifice for the country, and Liang Chongyue had to take it seriously.

"Except for this basket, deal with the rest as usual."

While some people truly sacrifice themselves for the country, there are others who are just filling in the gaps, wanting to gain a good reputation and use this opportunity to move to a higher level.

Liang Chongyue is not a fool, but she is now in a safe position, so she doesn't need to kill those who do such things as she did in the past.

Everyone has a bad side. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes.

There are too few talented people available in the court now. A group of ministers need to be sent from the northern border, and people are also needed to support farmers. The only relatively stable place is Guanzhong.

Liang Chongyue thought for a moment and took out an unopened imperial edict from the cabinet.

In the past, these things were kept in the Ministry of Rites. Since she had stayed in the Yangxin Palace for a long time, whenever she pleased her scumbag father, he would give her official titles and reward her with countless gold, silver and jewelry.

As time went by, every time the imperial edict was needed, one had to go to the Ministry of Rites to get it. This should have been a happy occasion for everyone, and once it was spread out, those nosy ministers would always have to give the scumbag father some advice during the morning court session.

The scumbag father was annoyed, so he always kept blank imperial edicts in the cabinet.

The sensible ministers understood what their scumbag father meant, but those who didn't soon became scapegoats for others.

Liang Chongyue spread out the imperial edict and wrote on the paper without thinking:

The Imperial Edict on the Opening of the Imperial Examinations:

I have received the Mandate of Heaven, ascended the throne, and reigned supreme over all the world. Since ascending the throne, I have worked tirelessly, day and night, to ensure the prosperity of our nation and the well-being of our people. However, observing the state of our court, I find it insufficiently staffed with capable and virtuous individuals, and the many important tasks remain daunting.

The key to good governance lies in finding the right people. While our court is not short of loyal and virtuous individuals, given the vastness of our realm and the complexity of our affairs, we still lack the necessary talent. To recruit more talented individuals and enrich our court, I hereby issue this decree to reopen the imperial examination system.

This imperial examination is open to all, regardless of social status, whether scholar, farmer, merchant, or artisan. Anyone with genuine talent and a desire to serve the country is welcome to take the exam. I will personally select and appoint positions based on merit, ensuring that the capable and the virtuous remain in office. Essays on classics and history will test the depth of knowledge; discussions on current affairs will assess the merits of strategy. I will select based on merit, regardless of any particular background, and strive to gather the world's best minds to join me in this grand undertaking.

I urge all counties and prefectures to diligently search for and recommend talented individuals. All scholars should diligently study and enthusiastically participate in the examinations. Those with genuine talent and knowledge will surely stand out, ascend to the throne, and realize their ambitions. I will also treat these talented individuals well, ensuring they have no worries and can devote themselves to serving our country.

This opening of the imperial examination is a grand event for the nation. I hope all my subjects will understand my intention and work together to help achieve this.

The first half of this edict was written according to the edict that the scumbag father suddenly announced to the world about the imperial examination the following year, except that Liang Chongyue added some content at the end.

She intended to bring the issue of gender equality to the court, and scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans should be treated equally in the imperial examinations.

After Liang Chongyue finished writing, he stamped it with the imperial seal, waited for the ink to dry, and put it aside, waiting to announce the decree at the morning court tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Li Jin has come to tell you that the Empress Dowager has already had dinner with the young prince, so Your Majesty is no longer invited to the Cining Palace."

Ping'an came in from outside the hall and stood in the hall with his body hunched to pass on the message. Liang Chongyue glanced at the incense burner that recorded the time on the side and it was indeed a little late.

"Then let's go to the East Palace. I haven't seen the Yan Court for a long time."

He Yanting is handsome and has a good figure, but Liang Chong has been having her period recently, and there are so many handsome men around her that He Yanting really can't take care of him.

Now that the two troublesome ones are gone, she finally has time to spend with him properly.

It was dark at night, and Liang Chongyue would not take a sedan chair unless it was absolutely necessary. When he arrived at the East Palace, he heard the sound of playing the piano coming from inside before he even entered.

Liang Chongyue walked inside, and the sound of the piano became clearer and clearer. Standing outside the west palace door where He Yanting lived, he watched the eunuch who hurried in to deliver the message.

The piano music stopped abruptly at the most beautiful part, and soon there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

Liang Chongyue walked closer and ran into He Yanting who came out in a hurry.

The lake blue robe was obviously newly put together, and the collar was still a little loose. There was a faint aroma of wine on it, which blended with the fragrance of the man who came towards her, and it didn't smell unpleasant.

"I see you, your majesty. May your majesty be safe."

I haven't seen He Yanting for a long time. Now when he lowers his eyes, the red blush that cannot be wiped away and his not-so-clear look make him look even better than in the daytime.

"How much have you drunk? Is it time to eat?"

Liang Chongyue saw that S was in trouble and stepped forward to help him up.

At this time, the sunset glow outside had not yet dissipated, dyeing the entire sky an attractive bright red.

Getting drunk before nightfall is a mistake a concubine should never make in the palace. He Yanting used to be a wild person in Yunzhou. When she was at His Highness's residence, there were always people around His Highness.

He couldn't win against those shameless people, so he had to hide away and drink alone. It would be a blessing if His Highness could come to see him three or five times in ten days.

After entering the palace, His Highness became His Majesty, and his daily life became even busier.

He does not have the wisdom of Empress Li, and even if he goes to the imperial court, he will only waste His Majesty's time. He has been staying in the Eastern Palace for a long time and can only rely on looking at His Majesty's portrait to express his longing.

He Yanting should have been afraid of His Majesty's punishment. He was mostly sober, but as he thought about it, he really felt wronged. When His Majesty spoke and did not punish him, he couldn't help but shed tears.
