"Your Majesty is the King of Jianning back then, you know that. The place where Your Majesty took off was Suiyang. From Yin Ziqi to the two capitals occupied by An Lushan, to An Qingxu and Shi Siming, these people who scared us to death are not worth mentioning under Your Majesty's attack!"

"Father, of course I know these things. Now I don't want to know how His Majesty became emperor. What I want to know is what kind of emperor His Majesty is!"

When Du Wan heard this, she stopped her habitual praise. Just a few short conversations with her son also gave Du Wan some insights. It is hard to say anything else now, but there is one thing that Li Yan would definitely not like a minister like him.

"After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he immediately began to expel Yuan Zai from Chang'an City. It can be seen that Your Majesty treats the court almost the same as the battlefield. He is a decisive person, and his Majesty has no choice but tolerate sand in his eyes. In the court, although the minor matters are still controlled by several prime ministers, Wang Jin will be replaced almost sooner or later. Anything that Your Majesty thinks is a major matter must be decided by him. In the court, the only one who was valued by him and had no relationship with Your Majesty before was Jingzhao Liu Yan!"

"Jingzhao Yin Liu Yan!"

Du Wan is Liu Yan's direct subordinate, so Du Wan has talked a lot about this person in the mansion before, and Du Huangshang already has a good understanding of this person.

"Thank you, my father, I understand!"

After leaving such a sentence, Du Huangshang immediately returned to his room, looking as if he had grabbed something mysterious and mysterious.

That night, Du Huangshang did not read the books of sages that he had already been familiar with, but locked himself in the study room and stared blankly at the direction of Chang'an City, not knowing what he was thinking about.

He kept thinking about his father's ignorance in his mansion, Liu Yan, who always complained about his ignorance in his house, and said that Liu Yan thought about it one after another, and was like a headless fly, always taking his subordinates to do thankless things, and he was not at all involved.

However, after Li Yan ascended the throne, Liu Yan turned into the prime minister. Du Wan did not complain when she returned to her house, but in her words, Liu Yan's style of doing things seemed to have not changed much.

"I see……"

At midnight, Du Huangshang finally seemed to have figured out something, and a look of relief appeared on his face, and then he lay on his bed with satisfaction and fell asleep.

It was also this night that in a slightly dilapidated inn south of Chang'an City, a room in the upper corner was also lit with faint lights. In the past, there would be a figure who would keep writing under the lights. It was Li Qing who refuted Du Huangshang's Hongyuan on the road in the market on the day he returned to Chang'an.

Tonight, he did not read a book, but stood by the window with his hands on his back, looking at the direction of the palace where some light came faintly, thinking.

"After ten years of hard work, I'm waiting for a wise monarch. If Your Majesty is really a wise monarch, at least he should have advised him..."

Unlike Du Huangshang's good at using resources around him, Hong Yuan's style and purpose seem to be clearer. Judging from his expression, he is quite a bit of a desperate attempt.

In these nights, almost all the sleepless nights for the candidates who are about to take the provincial exam. Everyone has their own experience of the pain of getting to this point. Now it’s just a short shot, and no one thinks they are worse than others.

Moreover, there is an unwritten law in the provincial examinations over the years. Almost all people who are truly talented will go to high school after the provincial examinations in the first year. If you fail to do it in the first year and are a repeat student, the probability of you winning again is not high, so everyone wants to win this first time.

But they all knew that no matter how confident they were, there were only 20 to 30 Jinshi places in the entire Tang Dynasty, and there was almost no luck here.

There are even many candidates who can't even write this seemingly simple more than 300 words, let alone high school.

According to Xu Yuan's report, the provincial examinations in recent years have been set in the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites according to the system of previous years. The time is still from Mao to You, that is, from sunrise to sunset, and it takes a full daytime.

However, due to the unknown question, the nervousness in the candidates' hearts and the intention of the article, the candidates who cannot finish the exam papers still have them every year.

Of course, there are also talents who are good at this and have fast writing. Li Wen once thought about the time of the exam. Later, after analyzing it, he still felt that a day was good. It would allow every candidate to exert his ability, at least without any regrets. If he could not complete these more than 300 words in a day, at least it would be a bit stupid and not suitable to be an official.

Seeing that the time for the test was up, and Xu Yuan's efficiency in his work was quite satisfied. After being cheated by Li Yan in the question, Xu Yuan almost never asked Li Yan again. When there was still one day left before the exam, Li Yan summoned Xu Yuan to his side and found that Xu Yuan had already completed all the preparations. According to Xu Yuan, Li Yan was waiting with him to watch the candidates' test papers and the candidates were selected for the Jinshi.

"Your Majesty, I know that you need to rest in Tai Chi Palace these days, so I won't bother you with your general trivial matters. I have already handled it."

Li Yan curled his lips, knowing in his heart that Xu Yuan might have been cheated by him once, and there were some sequelae, so he did not dare to come to him frequently, but they could not tell this point, so they could only hide it.

"You did a good job in this, but there is one thing I haven't told you yet. When the provincial examination is on, I will not go to court anymore. Let's go with you to see what the best young people in our Tang Dynasty are all about!"

After hearing Li Yan's words, Xu Yuan's eyes glared again. There was a precedent for the emperor to see the provincial examination in the previous dynasty, so he nodded and said, "When will your Majesty go, I will notify the candidates in advance."

"No, I will go with you at sunrise and then continue to be over the provincial examination. You don't have to tell them, so as not to make them nervous."

There is no precedent for this routine, but Xu Yuan thought about it again, is there still few things that Li Qing has done without precedent? So he nodded again, thinking that you, the emperor, had just been swaying on the streets of Chang'an City. It would be strange if most candidates couldn't recognize you!
