Chapter 544 What Makes You Change Your Mind

The two of them walked in front with a warm and warm walk, followed by someone behind them, observing the surroundings vigilantly while worried.

When you walk to the main street, the street is really much more lively than before.

The timids also returned to Beijing and opened the shop that had no choice but to close.

Don't worry about the age of the one on the dragon throne. As long as there is a lord on it, the people's lives will always be better than those without a king.

What's more, the newly ascended little emperor has only been a few days ago, and the few things he did are so shocking!

The treasury is empty, and the court's actions in the past must have issued an edict to increase taxes and silver for the people.

However, the young emperor did not have the idea of ​​confronting the people. He issued an order to ask the ministers in the court to donate silver. Just this matter is enough to make the people of Yanguo feel at ease.

The new monarch first attacked the ministers, which had never happened in all dynasties.

When the new kings ascended the throne, they either rushed to eradicate the old ministers of the previous dynasty, or they tried to win over the hearts of the people, and rewarded the civil and military ministers who held great power in various terms.

There were also notices posted on the city gate that a winter examination would be held and the selection of merits would be recruited to fill the gaps in court officials.

Instead of being recommended by all officials, this will not only eliminate those who go through the back door, but also buy and sell officials, but also give people who are truly capable of serving the court and serve the country.

At this moment, in the mansion of Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, the large study room was brightly lit. Li Jiecheng was stunned on the spot after hearing his son's words.

He looked at his wife Pan again, but the wife shook her head gently, saying that she didn't know what was going on.

"Yuan'er, have you really figured it out?" Li Jiecheng couldn't believe his ears, thinking that he had auditory hallucinations.

It's been more than ten years since I had to have worked hard to raise this son and wanted him to become an official in the court, but he firmly refused.

He was very angry at that time. It would be fine if his son was not good at learning and ignoring his skills, but he was extremely smart.

The wife said, maybe the child is playful and it will be better if he grows up in a few years.

Unexpectedly, it has been more than ten years since this, and he has given up on the idea of ​​letting his son go on a career in the official career. As a result, he came to tell himself this time that he would take the winter exam for a few days, and said that he had already signed up at the Hanlin Academy in the afternoon.

"Yes, my son has figured it out, my son knows what he is going to do. Father, please rest assured. Since my son has made a decision, he will not change his mind." Li Shuiyuan expressed his determination with confidence and firmness.

After hearing this, Li Jiecheng was still a little unacceptable; "A father just wanted to know that the reason why you changed your mind was because the first-rank lady saved you, so you want to become an official in the court and assist the emperor in order to repay your kindness?"

Li Shuiyuan smiled, "Father, will your son believe it if he is not? The son wants to ask his father why Grand Secretary Fan joined the court to assist the emperor? Is it just because the emperor is his grandson?"

"This should be part of the reason. After all, as the emperor's grandfather, he could live without help. However, Yuan'er, what you asked is reasonable. Judging from the actions of his Fan family for several generations, if he did not recognize the emperor in his heart, he would only become an official in the court and would not signal his students to take the winter exam.

Well, since Yuan'er, you have considered everything, wait for good news for your father." Li Jiecheng was always relieved.

Although the winter exam has not yet begun and I don’t know what the result will be. If Mr. Fan’s students come to participate, the possibility of his son winning will be somewhat lingering.

However, the son finally took this step, and this is a good thing, the happy event of the Li family.

"I really don't understand. As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he asked the ministers to donate money. How could the elder brother like such an emperor?" Li Shuiyuan's third brother asked in confusion.

"Shut up, you can't help the mud, what do you know?" Li Jiecheng immediately lowered his face and scolded.

These sons were not good before, but because of the good but disobedient eldest son, he really couldn't scold them.

Now that the eldest son finally figured it out, Li Jiecheng felt that even if he retired and returned home when he was old, the Li family would not be in decline.

Looking at the sons around him, Li Jiecheng felt that there really was no need for many sons. One of the eldest sons was enough to support the Li family.

Seeing that his brother had just changed his mind to take the winter exam, his father's attitude towards him turned sharply. The sons exchanged glances and said that they would go to the Hanlin Academy to register for this winter exam tomorrow.

After hearing this, Li Jiecheng not only felt no relief at all, but instead felt the veins on his forehead jumping straight; "Come on, you guys just need to be at home and be more at ease, don't embarrass the Li family to go out."

I might have tried it before, but this winter exam, not only did Grand Secretary Fan come to participate, but also some scholars who are very knowledgeable but are relatively noble, and Jinshi must participate.

When we were in court, civil and military officials were talking privately, saying that this winter exam was not simple!

The eldest son can try it, as for the others, save it!

"Then my son will leave first and go back and prepare." Li Shuiyuan had already reported his father. He had an opinion and opinions about his father's official position, but he had to tell him about his winter exam.

Li Jiecheng nodded with gratitude and ordered the great manager to help the eldest young master prepare for the winter exam.

Mrs. Pan said, stare at the kitchen and make some nourishing things for the eldest son.

Regardless of the resentful eyes of several brothers looking at him, Li Shuiyuan strode away from the study room and took a deep breath into the night sky.

He looked back at the direction of the big study room. He knew it in his mind. After this winter exam, after the official vacancies filled by the best, the emperor's next step would probably be to clear the officials in the court who ate the king's salary and did not do anything for the king. He would perfunctorily treat the king from above and ignore the people below.

Step by step, it will be my father's turn sooner or later!

The newly ascended throne came up with these major events that made Li Shuiyuan admire and convinced, so he decided to enter the court.

The emperor who can make such decisions is actually a major change in the court step by step!

Li Shuiyuan also has good personal friends in private, and several of them discussed it together.

It is said that the emperor's decisions may not be the emperor's own idea, after all, he is so young.

However, Li Shuiyuan felt that it didn't matter who made the decision behind the emperor's advice.

What’s important is that the emperor has implemented it vigorously.

It is really extraordinary to be able to be such a emperor.

After all, there are definitely many people who can give him advice, and how he implements it is this unique one.

This is enough to prove that although this emperor is young, he has the idea and has the ability to judge correctly.
