"My beloved sirs, this matter is of great importance. Can you please let me think about it for a moment or two?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said fearfully, holding back the pressure.
Looking at Li Xiang's murderous eyes, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty knew that this was a threat, a naked threat.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, you really are rebellious ministers and traitors!" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty kept cursing in his heart. Is there any emperor in the world who is as cowardly as him and is threatened by his ministers!
When he thought that he had never been a real emperor for a day since he ascended the throne, he was either threatened by this or threatened by that, used as a puppet by this or that, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was furious and felt sad at the same time.
.
It's just that although I scold you happily in my heart, when the time comes to follow my heart, I still have to follow my heart.
"Be patient, I must be patient! God will not let you down if you work hard, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu!" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty kept comforting himself with Gou Jian's deeds of lying on firewood and tasting gall. As long as he can endure it, he will eventually be able to defend Yun Kai.
On the day when the moon is bright.
At the same time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also saw an opportunity from today's incident.
If Li Xiang really takes the imperial examination, he will definitely be hostile to all the famous families in the world. When the time comes, he will have a greater chance of regaining his glory and becoming the master of the family.
Therefore, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty decided to help Li Xiang advance this matter. However, it is not now. He has to wait for a few more days. At least, he must let the world know that he had to succumb to him under the pressure of this rebellious minister and traitor.
of despotic power.

"Don't worry, my lord, your majesty has decided to agree to my lord's request to conduct the imperial examination!" After going to court, Guan Zhong followed Li Xiang and whispered in a low voice. At the same time, there was some worry in his tone.
When he was in the court, Guan Zhong had been staring closely at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Every expression and every change of movements by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was seen by Guan Zhong. At the last moment, the hint of secret joy showed in the eyes of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Although it was fleeting, it was still observed by Guan Zhong.
With Guan Zhong's political wisdom, he could almost analyze what Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was thinking with just a flick of his mind! After all, in the position of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, there were only a few possibilities that could make him feel happy.
, just need to eliminate them one by one.
"What doubts do Yi Wu have?" Li Xiang is also good at observing people's emotions. As soon as he heard Guan Zhong's tone, he knew that things were not that simple.
"Lord, your Majesty is probably going to..." Guan Zhong slowly stated his guess about Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty today.
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with this!" Li Xiang waved his hand and said.
When he decided to introduce the imperial examination system, he had already thought about the possible scenarios. Therefore, he had already been prepared for some things.
After he starts to promote the imperial examination system, it will indeed arouse hostility from the world's aristocratic families. In the future, his next expansion will inevitably be fully resisted by the local aristocratic families. Therefore, his next steps may be more difficult.
However, these costs are something Li Xiang can afford. Moreover, Li Xiang even thinks about using cruel and bloody methods to reduce the number of the world's aristocratic families when he expands next. The other party really dares to go all out
Resisting him just gave him a reason to take action.
Moreover, not all aristocratic families have the courage to stand on their opposite side. When his army crushes him, with the stubbornness of those aristocratic families, they have to express their support for him, Li Xiang.
Things were just as Guan Zhong had guessed. In the next few days, under Li Xiang's constant pressure, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty seemed to have no choice but to agree to Li Xiang's request because he could no longer bear Li Xiang's coercion.
Soon, two edicts were spread from Luoyang to all parts of the world, and these two edicts also caused great disturbances in the world.
The first step was that the emperor changed the title of Duke Wu of Zhu Yuanzhang to the title of King of Jiaozhou, and ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to send troops to attack Xiang Yu. This King of Jiaozhou was the title granted to Xiang Yan when Yang Jian issued the royal edict. After Xiang Yan's death, Xiang Yu
Inherit.
Now, conferring the throne of King Jiaozhou to Zhu Yuanzhang not only shows that Xiang Yu's throne has been deposed, but also further sows the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiang Yu.
At the same time, in this edict, the princes of the world are called on to help Liu Xiu, Liu Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with the Xiang family's rebellion as soon as possible. Finally, it is pointed out that if there are those who harbor the remnants of the Xiang family, all the princes of the world will jointly deal with them.
Of.
This edict is intended to push the Xiang clan to a dead end. If the Xiang clan really comes to an end in the future, those generals with foreign surnames will be fine, but those Xiang clan members will really have no place in the world.
Even if other princes are willing to take them in, they still have to weigh the interests involved. All princes in the world are fighting for it, which is equivalent to giving others a reason to send troops casually and with great righteousness.
This edict is enough to show the hatred between the Liu Xiang family. Because the last sentence in the edict was added by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie himself and has nothing to do with Li Xiang.
As for the second edict, it was the real shock to the world. The edict issued the first imperial examination in Luoyang, the imperial capital, one month later.
After this edict, families all over the world criticized Li Xiang one after another, and wrote to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the palace through various channels, hoping to ask Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to give back the order regarding the imperial examination.
The reason why Li Xiang wanted to hold the first imperial examination in such a short period of time, one month later, was to implement this matter as soon as possible.
And within this month, Li Xiang can only hide. He can fight back with other officials from the famous families, but he cannot treat them like that with the talented officials under him, especially those under Li Xiang.
In a situation where the family has a lot of talents.
The first imperial examination was to finalize the system, so it was held in a somewhat direct location. After the first imperial examination was over, the next one would have to pass the county examination and the state examination to eliminate some of the remaining ones.
Talents can go to the imperial capital to participate in the final competition.
Otherwise, if they do not go through the first two rounds of screening, there will be too many people pouring into the imperial capital by then, making the imperial examination very troublesome.
Another reason why we can skip the first two rounds of screening this time is that the number of people participating in the imperial examination this time is limited.
After all, the imperial examination will be held in one month, and this time will only allow people from several states around Sizhou to come and take part. Some places further away may not be able to make it in time.
