Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Inside the longevity hall.

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

If it hadn't been for the official secretary to report, Li Si might not have known that the buying and selling of officials would happen in the Tang Dynasty!

If Li Si had just ascended the throne, he might not have been so angry when he encountered such a thing. But Li Si has been on the throne for more than three months.

In the past three months, I don’t know how many officials have gone to jail at the thought of Li Si!

But in this case, there are still people who dare to buy and sell officials! Li Si's eyes were cold!

Does anyone think I am too kind? !

Is it because some people think that I have not killed enough? ! !

Li Si absolutely couldn't tolerate this happening under his nose.

Datang officials are related to the governance of Datang's rivers and mountains. If anyone can hold a certain official position, wouldn't the entire Tang Dynasty be a mess?

Li Si turned his gaze and fell on the official secretary: "The official secretary, whether you have participated in it, I will find out by myself, let's go down."

"Old officials follow the order..."

After finishing speaking with a trembling voice, the official's Shangshu withdrew from the Hall of Longevity in fear.

Shangshu left soon.

Cao Zhengchun entered the palace by order.

"I want to know, who are the official buyers?"

"Who is the official seller? I have to know everything related."

"Cao Zhengchun, give me an answer before the morning tomorrow morning!"

As soon as Li Si's words fell, Cao Zhengchun took the order.

Li Si watched Cao Zhengchun leave the Hall of Longevity, slowly got up, and walked in the hall.

Li Si thought back to the situation of Datang officials.

When the Great Tang was founded, there were only more than 1,000 officials from all over the country.

By the time of Emperor Xuanzong, the number of officials in Datang had risen to more than 5,000.

From 1,000 to 5,000, Datang’s territory has not expanded significantly, but the number of officials has skyrocketed five times!

The number of officials who handle the same amount of government affairs is on the rise.

Why is this?

Imperial examination scholars enter officialdom?

wrong!

Datang imperial examinations are conducted every three years.

There are so many scholars who grant fame every time.

Coupled with the continuous retirement of officials.

The two can completely form a balance.

It is simply impossible for the number of officials to soar!

At this moment, the only reason Li Si could think of was to buy and sell officials.

Some of the aristocratic families in Datang intends to become a full-time official, but they have been unable to pass the imperial examination. What will happen at this time?

Will naturally try, can you be an official in other ways?

And in the court, someone happened to be short of money.

One party pays.

One party gives power.

The two hit it off.

It seems that both parties benefited!

But the real loss is indeed the heritage of the Tang Empire!

Li Si's face was gloomy, and the eunuchs inside and outside the Palace of Longevity felt the emperor's anger and shuddered.

"I will never allow anyone to buy and sell Datang's official position as a commodity!"

Li Si's murderous heart has risen.

Buying and selling officials violates the appointment system!

Buying and selling officials will increase the burden on Datang's officialdom!

Buying and selling officials makes it difficult for people of insight to be promoted, or even hopeless for life!

As an emperor, Li Si would never watch this happen.

"I want to see who it is that has such courage!"

Li Si sneered.

...

the next day.

It didn't take long for Li Si to get up.

Cao Zhengchun entered the palace face saint.

"Xuan!"

Cao Zhengchun walked into the Hall of Longevity and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Qi, you have already found out everything your Majesty wants to know."

"Oh?"

Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair and looked at Cao Zhengchun: "Tell me, who is selling officials?"

Cao Zhengchun glanced at the emperor cautiously, and whispered: "Return to your Majesty, it is Princess Anyang."

Princess Anyang?

Li Si's pupils shrank slightly.

Princess Anyang, Li Si's half-sister.

Before the emperor's death, he specifically asked Li Siduo to take care of the princess Anyang, the queen mother of Anyang princess, died early.

Li Si also fulfilled the last wish of the first emperor. The royal salary of Princess Anyang is the largest of all the Li family, and the fief of Princess Anyang is the most prosperous area in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

But Li Si didn't expect that under such circumstances, Princess Anyang would dare to do such daring things? !

However, in this way, Li Si also figured it out.

The promotion and dismissal of officials is the power of the official secretary. Except for the princess of Anyang, who dares to make the dignified six official books so aggrieved?

"His Majesty, this is the amount of silver that Princess Anyang has collected over the years..."

Cao Zhengchun presented a memorial.

Li Si opened the memorial and swept it away.

The memorial records in detail the behavior of Princess Anyang over the years.

In Anyang Princess, the official position has been clearly marked.

Nine-rank official, one thousand taels of silver.

Eight-rank official, ten thousand taels of silver.

Seven-rank official, fifty thousand taels of silver.

...

It's just that the ranks of official positions are up to five ranks.

Officials with rank 5 or above are eligible to participate in the early reign of the emperor.

Princess Anyang, no matter how courageous, would not dare to do too much.

Datang has a long history of buying and selling officials, and it has existed since the establishment of the country.

It's just that, in the beginning, buying and selling of officials was done secretly, and the sellers were extremely cautious, but when it came to Princess Anyang, it had already developed to a clear price.

The long princess of Anyang relied on the love of the first emperor, unscrupulous, and completely ignored everything...

Li Si closed the memorial.

"Anyang..."

Li Si slowly got up and let out a light sigh.

next moment.

"Cao Zhengchun."

Li Si glanced sharply.

"The old slave is here."

"Take Anyang down, wait for my early court, and bet it to the Taiji Hall."

After saying this, Li Si walked directly out of the Hall of Longevity, preparing for the early reign.

...

...

Long Princess House.

The princess of Anyang was very interested and got up early to prepare for breakfast. U U Reading www.uukanshu.cOM

"His Royal Highness, the King of Jingzhou wants to buy an eighth-rank official position in the hands of His Royal Highness..."

When the princess of Anyang heard this, she didn't lift her eyelids: "The King of Jingzhou?"

"Yes, the other party has already sent ten thousand taels of silver to the mansion..."

"In that case, you go down to make arrangements, vacate an eighth rank official position, and inform them."

Princess Anyang waved her hand and said.

"Yes..."

"It's just that, your Royal Highness, during the recent period, should we stop for a while?"

"Today's son, the methods are harsh, in case the emperor knows..."

When the princess Anyang heard this, she didn't care and said: "No. Your majesty is the younger brother of the palace. Before the death of the father, he specifically asked him to take care of me."

"Furthermore, this palace only sells some official posts below Rank 5, which is nothing."

"Is it possible that your Majesty will pursue this palace for such trivial matters?"

The face of Princess Anyang showed pride.

however.

Princess Anyang just finished her voice.

The gate of the princess mansion was kicked open.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Dongchang guards broke in and surrounded the Long Princess' Mansion.

"who is it?"

Princess Anyang was furious.

She never expected that someone in Chang'an City would dare to break into her mansion?

"Do you know who I am?"

"Do you know where this is?"

Princess Anyang said sharply.

As the elder princess of the dynasty, the eldest princess of Anyang showed a touch of majesty.

just.

Just at this time.

Cao Zhengchun walked out of the crowd. Cao Zhengchun walked in front of the Princess Anyang, and said without a smile:

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Tai Chi Hall for a comment."
