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

Looking at the system's big eyes flashing with anticipation, Liang Chongyue silently raised his hand to rub its head, then closed the panel.

"Next time I'm sober, I'll draw you a better one."

After saying that, seeing the system nod happily, Liang Chongyue stood up, undressed, and prepared to go to court.

"Your Majesty, today's tea has been added with refreshing mint. It will give you a refreshing feeling after drinking it."

When Yun Ling brought the tea for rinsing mouth to Liang Chongyue, as soon as he opened the lid of the teacup, Liang Chongyue smelled a faint mint aroma, which was processed and not pungent.

Liang Chongyue picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth. The smell of alcohol in his mouth was diluted a lot by the aroma of tea. While he spoke, he could only smell the cool mint scent.

"Go to Kunning Palace and tell them I'll be there for dinner after court."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ling retreated with the teacup. Iris and the others took over and helped His Majesty with his hair and makeup.

After putting on the dragon robe fumigated with ambergris, Liang Chongyue stood up and walked out of the Yangxin Palace. The days were getting warmer, and the sky outside was getting brighter earlier day by day.

When they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the civil and military officials were already there. The same procedure was repeated. Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne and waited to hear the reports from the ministers.

"Your Majesty, I, the Minister of Rites, Li Wen, have something to report."

They were old acquaintances. Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne and thought for a moment. The ceremony of crowning the queen was over, and the Ministry of Rites should have nothing to do recently.

"What's the matter, Li Aiqing?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wen stood up from the ground, holding the memorial tablet in his hand and stood in the hall, saying loudly to His Majesty:

"Your Majesty, since you have decided to hold the imperial examinations again next spring, I have already prepared the provincial examination papers and included them in today's memorial. I also ask Your Majesty to decide on the examiners for this examination as soon as possible. The imperial examinations are so important that they can affect the lives of ordinary people. I will also like to discuss the examination matters with the chief examiner as soon as possible."

Li Wen's words made sense. Liang Chongyue calculated the date and found that the provincial examination would be held in two months. Since ancient times, men who wanted to take the imperial examination would first pass the provincial examination and then prepare for the metropolitan examination.

Li Wen's eagerness to urge her to make a decision about the imperial examination was a beneficial thing for women who had not yet taken the examination.

"I understand this matter. I will review the memorial when I return today. As for the important matter of the imperial examination, do you have any other opinions?"

During last year's imperial examination, many people died because she wanted complete fairness. Otherwise, there would not have been any rush to hold the imperial examination again this year.

On the streets during those days, the students who came to take the exam had never seen such a scene and did not dare to say a word.

For fear of saying too much and making mistakes, he got himself involved before even waiting for the results of the exam.

Most of the civil and military officials now standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony have witnessed the scene of the imperial examination last year, especially the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, who surrendered to Your Majesty very early on.

They were at the scene on the day His Majesty was assassinated, and their hearts almost jumped out when the blood splattered everywhere.

Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne, quietly watching the movements of the ministers below.

In the court, the officials lowered their heads and looked at each other. No one said a word and they all just stood there quietly. The malpractices in the imperial examinations had been going on for many years, and it wasn't that no one wanted to rectify them, but only His Majesty succeeded, and it only took him one year to dig out all the people behind them.

No matter how high their position or power was, or whether they were of royal blood or not, anyone who participated in disrupting the malpractices in the imperial examinations died that night.

In the homes of several princes, hundreds of people were killed except for innocent maids and servants.

"Your Highness, we believe that it is sufficient to continue the principles of fairness and justice established by Your Majesty last year. This is easier said than done, but for all students, nothing is more important than fairness."

It was still the old Prime Minister Jiang who came out. As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers behind him responded.

"Then let's do as Prime Minister Jiang says. As for this year's chief examiner, I need to consider it further. You, my dear ministers, can also think carefully about whether there are any suitable options when you return."

"If there is nothing else today, let's leave."

Liang Chongyue's daily schedule is already quite tight. After attending the morning court, she has to rush to deal with memorials. Daxia is a vast territory, and there are endless things waiting for her to do every day.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."

Liang Chongyue came out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The sun was out outside, and the last bit of chill in the morning was blown away.

"Your Majesty, are we going directly to Kunning Palace?"

Liang Chongyue sat in the sedan chair, nodded, and began to close his eyes to rest.

When the sedan stopped, Liang Chongyue opened his eyes and met Li Yu'an's expectant gaze.

"Why are you waiting here today?"

Liang Chongyue got off the sedan chair, took Li Yu'an's hand and walked towards the hall. Li Yu'an's palm was warm, and his palm was always at this temperature all year round. It felt good to hold his hand.

"I have received news that His Majesty will be coming today. I hope to see His Majesty as soon as possible."

Liang Chongyue was satisfied with Li Yu'an's sincerity. She went to the dining room, washed her hands, and sat down. Liang Chongyue looked at Li Yu'an's slender figure standing beside her and serving her food, and remembered what Li Wen said at the morning court today.

Last year, Li Yu'an accompanied her to the imperial examination. This year, she was very busy and naturally could not do it herself. Li Yu'an had voluntarily given up everything in the court and entered the palace to be her good wife. Naturally, it was impossible for him to leave the palace to supervise the imperial examination.

As for other candidates, there are some, but Liang Chongyue has not yet made up his mind. None of them are perfect, so he has to think carefully before choosing anyone.

"Your Majesty is exhausted from attending court. I see that Your Majesty is a little tired."

As soon as Li Yu'an's voice sounded beside Liang Chongyue, a bowl of minced meat porridge was placed in front of Liang Chongyue, and it smelled good.

Liang Chongyue shook his head and slowly stirred the porridge in front of him in silence. After a while, he spoke:

"Today at court, the Minister of Rites reminded me that since the imperial examinations have been decided, some matters should be put on the agenda. Everything else is easy to deal with, but I don't have a choice for the chief examiner yet. Does Yu An have any recommendations?"

Li Yu'an had been in the court for many years and had been sitting on the position of Grand Tutor for ten years. He must know better than her who in the court had good character and who was talented.

The harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Although Li Yu'an no longer asked about the affairs of the court, when His Majesty asked, he still sat down obediently and thought for a while:

"Old Prime Minister Jiang is a suitable candidate. He has noble character and is well-read. He also passed the imperial examination when he was young and entered the government. In terms of talent, he can be considered my mentor."

As for the others, after His Majesty asked, Li Yu'an had a few candidates in mind, but he quickly gave up on them.

He hasn't been in the court for a long time. Among the people he knew in the early years, there are very few who can remain unaffected by the situation and always follow their hearts.

It is better not to mention people and things that you are not sure about, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Your Majesty.
