Although Luo Cheng is a single lineman of the ninth generation, there are many clans of the Luo family, and when Luo Cheng and Yan Yuan returned to the mansion, they heard a group of people talking babblingly, and a burst of laughter could be heard from afar.

Luo Cheng took Yan Yuan's hand, Yan Yuan turned his head sideways and said, "There are faux pases." ”

"Is there one?" Luo Cheng didn't think at all, Yan Yuanwan'er, go with him. The two entered the lobby and came back from the palace, a court dress was not changed, Mrs. Luo stood up when she saw them coming back, the two stepped in, the sun shone down, like a pair of golden boys and girls, Mrs. Luo showed a smile, his son Yushu Linfeng, should be matched with such a gorgeous wife.

Li Yuan generously gave Luo Cheng and Yan Yuan a month's vacation, and in the first half of the month, he was busy greeting relatives and friends and getting acquainted with the Luo family, and in the second half of the month, Yan Yuan and Luo Cheng went to Beizhuang.

Sightseeing in the mountains and waters, hunting and soaking in hot springs, the days could not be more comfortable. Until Li Yuan urged Yan Yuan to return to the capital, not only did Luo Cheng have to go back to the court, but Yan Yuan handed over the matter of establishing Taixue and Martial Arts Hall earlier, should he come back and talk about it. At present, Datang lacks people, especially talents.

"At the beginning of the new dynasty, there are many things, otherwise I really want to spend my life like this. Yan Yuan was quite emotional, Luo Cheng smiled and said: "In another ten years, Your Highness will definitely be able to clean up the world to a peaceful level, and then I will resign and travel with His Highness." ”

Yan Yuan, whom he likes, is like this, no matter what position she is in, she will do her best to do what she can.

It was Luo Cheng who went to the court, and Yan Yuan was also passed into the palace to wait for Li Yuan to speak in the upper study after the next dynasty, which fell into the hands of the Dou family, and asked about Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji wanted to put Yan Yuan to death, but this time without waiting for Yan Yuan to speak, Li Yuan had already taken away his title and grounded him in the mansion, and he would never be able to take a step out of the mansion from now on.

"Just because you beat him with a hundred sticks, he will put you to death?" Yan Yuan couldn't be caught asking, Dou could only ask Li Yuan, and of course Li Yuan just told Dou about what was in front of him. Even Li Yuanba was ordered by Yan Yuansan not to spit out a word to the Dou family, and Li Yuan didn't want the Dou family to worry about it. Cannibalism, the most painful thing in the world is to be a parent, Li Yuan would rather the Dou family never know.

Yan Yuan said very generously: "Mother, don't worry, I didn't bother with Yuan Ji." ”

Dou said: "I didn't like Yuanji since I was a child, and I almost threw Yuanji away, but it was his nurse who saved him." ”

Yan Yuan also heard about this, and Dou continued to say: "Sometimes I look at him and feel that he doesn't look like my son, but no, after raising him for so many years, I don't like him anymore, he is still my son." But he's going to put you to death, he's so ruthless. ”

Li Yuanji was ruthless and Yan Yuan had to admit it, otherwise he would not have tempted Li Yuanba to raise a hammer to scold the sky, and was almost killed by thunder. "You hurt their brother a little, you have never been less than him, only he has a perverse personality, he was punished for his mistakes, he hated you, he can kill you today, can he do it to me in the future. ”

"No!" No matter why Dou suddenly had such an idea, Yan Yuan couldn't let Dou continue to think about it. Dou Shi smiled coldly, "Your mother is not a fool. For example, your father fell in love with Xiao Hui of the Xiao family. ”

Yan Yuan's face darkened, "Did Xiao Hui really hook up with his father?"

Dou said: "Such a face has been remembered by your father, and if you think about it, who can stop it?" I don't want to stop it, let alone you." I think this Xiao Hui is a bit evil, you left her in Changqing Mansion for a few days, it's not for nothing. ”

"You can see that Xiao Hui is evil, so you really don't help your father stop it?" Yan Yuan asked a little cautiously, Dou said: "Can't stop it, man, the more you can't get it, the more you miss it, it's just a woman, and you can't step on my head." ”

Dou would not have spoken her more subtle thoughts. No matter how close her daughter is, she can't let Yan Yuan know that she is calculating Li Yuan.

"Queen Mother, the emperor has already descended to the court, and King Changqing has discussed with the princes of the political hall in the past. A chamberlain walked in and whispered a respectful invitation, and Dou said, "Okay." ”

Yan Yuan stood up, and Dou said, "It's good that you know what I'm talking to you, and the others are not allowed to interfere, can you?"

"Okay!" Although he was not very willing, Yan Yuan still agreed. Dou said: "Go quickly, don't let your father and the adults wait for a long time." ”

In response, Yan Yuan got up and walked out, his dislike for this palace deepened. This smoky miasma is really more annoying than when Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang were there. Maybe the people of the Li family are profligate people from the bones.

When Yan Yuan arrived, the princes of the political affairs hall and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were all there, and only the three governors who could enter the political affairs hall were the servants of Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, and Shangshu. This is a meeting between the emperor and the prime minister to make decisions.

Li Yuan proposed: "The world is peaceful, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, since the establishment of the three provinces and six departments, there are many people, but there are too few people available." What do you think?"

The matter of discussing talents, how can it not be passed on to the king of Changqing, the princes of the political hall expressed 120,000 surprise at Yan Yuan's appearance among the men in their pile, but they were surprised and surprised, they were still able to keep their faces unchanged.

"Promulgation of the Decree of Recruitment. Someone proposed a solution, Li Yuan shook his head, "In the past few years, a lot of merit-seeking orders have been issued, but with little effect. ”

The princes, who were prime ministers, also thought of this fact, but they recommended it, and many of those present were not very willing.

"Father, this is the method I used to recruit talents in Lanzhou, Liangzhou, please take a look at it. "Li Yuan's stage has been set up for her, if Yan Yuan doesn't show up, Li Yuan won't be able to spare her.

"Oh, show it to me. "Obviously, he has already seen Yan Yuan's method, and he is really not lazy to pretend to be stupid at this time. Yan Yuan didn't pick a bone in the egg and handed over the fold he had prepared earlier. Ordinary people have to go through Shangshu Province, and then hand it to the emperor after being approved by Shangshu Province, but Yan Yuan is not an ordinary person, and this book was directly handed to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at it fakely, "You all take a look." ”

Several prime ministers took the book and looked at it, and the look on their faces couldn't be said to be bad, but it was still a little bad. "Is it inappropriate to select talents by imperial examinations, without considering their virtues and family background?"

"In the past, it was only about family background, regardless of whether that person was capable and capable of doing things, wouldn't that be even more inappropriate?" Yan Yuan asked rhetorically. Then he said: "Besides, I have been practicing this method in Liangzhou and Lanzhou for more than three years, and the results are very good. As for the so-called family lineage, virtue. Ignoring the family background, before employing people, check the affairs of their three generations, the virtue is not bad, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty will never be treated badly as long as they are for the people and the facts. ”

This has been done and taken out to see, and it is clearly placed in front of everyone, which is much more convincing than the one who says it with his mouth.

"Those who participate in the imperial examination, regardless of age, identity, or place of origin, as long as they have the ability and are willing to serve the people and dedicate themselves to the Tang Dynasty, they can become officials. The content of the imperial examination is the Ming Scripture, Jinshi, Moyi, oral examination, pasting scriptures, policy questions, and poetry ......" Yan Yuan talked eloquently, and the princes of the political hall put forward their ideas and doubts, and Yan Yuan argued with reason, and answered them one by one.

"King Changqing supports the imperial examination to select talents, and all families are only afraid of ......"

"This is the world of the Tang Dynasty, different from the Wei and Jin dynasties, different from the Sui Dynasty. For the sake of the people and the peace of the world, the monopoly of the former family must be broken. If the family wants to enjoy the glory and wealth they once had, and there are groups of slaves, then they should also contribute to the world and the people, and they can't live by the merits of their ancestors in the future. If ordinary people compare the results of the disciples of the family, will the family still have the face to shout that they can't open the imperial examination?" Yan Yuan said more bluntly, and the faces of several people from the family were ashamed.

"Vote. Li Yuan opened his mouth to remind, more than half of those who raised their hands agreed, Yan Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, Xiao Yu, and Gao Shilian all agreed, and the others did not raise their hands, but half of them passed.

"Tomorrow morning, the court will make a decision with the ministers. Yuan'er, tomorrow you will also go to court. Li Yuan said by name, Yan Yuan was stunned, and Li Yuan said: "Since you proposed this matter, and you implemented it in the two states, shouldn't you go to the court to persuade the ministers?"

It should be, but although Yan Yuan has a knighthood, he still hasn't had it in the previous dynasty, Li Yuan suddenly proposed this, I am afraid that it will be criticized.

The prime minister took a half-step step but was pulled back by the person next to him,

"In addition, Yuan'er discussed this matter with the prince Shimin, and came up with a charter, when the exam will start, where the location will be set, and the subjects to be examined must be thought out clearly. Li Yuan decided, and the three brothers and sisters agreed together.

The princes of the Political Affairs Hall left, leaving their own families, Li Yuan said: "Why didn't you mention the matter of Taixue and Martial Arts Hall?"

"Father, you have to eat bite by bite, and you can't be in a hurry to govern a big country and cook small fresh. First of all, the matter of the imperial examination was pushed aside, and our urgent need was solved, and then it was time to implement the school. If we want to continue to have talents, we need to pay more attention to running schools. First, we have to do a good job of teaching materials. Yan Yuan persuaded Li Yuan not to be in a hurry, this matter could not be done in one day, even if Li Yuan was in a hurry, he would not be in a hurry.

"What did Father Emperor and Yuan'er say about Taixue, Martial Arts Hall?" Li Jiancheng didn't understand what Yan Yuan said to Li Yuan at all, and asked curiously, Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin, but Li Shimin had already understood. sighed in his heart, don't blame him for his abnormal thoughts, even if Li Jiancheng is not as good as Yan Yuan, like Li Shimin, he is relieved that the world is handed over to him.

But Li Jiancheng is inferior to Li Shimin in both civil and military affairs, and even if he is knowledgeable, he is not as good as Yan Yuan and his daughters.

"Taixue began in Zhou, and in the past, only the children of the nobility could enter the school. We want to Xing Taixue but regardless of identity and family background, only look at the grades, is the best school in our Tang Dynasty, the court and the central princes in Taixue lectures, teach it to deal with people, and govern the country and the country. Martial Arts Academy, you can Of course, this is a school for the children of military attachés, but it is the same as Taixue, regardless of identity and family background, and all children who can pass the entrance examination of the martial arts academy can enter. The rest of the states, to be Taixue, each branch, and Taixue, the principals of each state and each school, in charge of the affairs of a school, the principals of each school belong to the ministry, every three years, depending on the results of the children of a school and promote it...... "Yan Yuan told Li Jiancheng eloquently, the benefits of which Li Yuan has long seen that this is for the long-term of the Tang Dynasty, if this matter is done, thousands of years later, their Li family will also be able to stand still.

Li Shimin was very curious about the idea proposed by Yan Yuan, and walked over to discuss it with Yan Yuan, Li Yuan listened to them chatting speculatively, and the other party already understood what he meant at the beginning of the conversation, and then looked at Li Jiancheng's appearance that he couldn't interject at all, Li Yuan didn't want to let himself be cranky, but there were such excellent two people in front of him, how could he not want to.

Yan Yuan said to Li Shimin, and sat on the ground with a pen and paper, Yan Yuan listened to Li Shimin ask all kinds of questions, and she answered them one by one with so many years of experience, a smart person like Li Shimin, he can understand too well that the imperial examination and Yan Yuan's proposal to run a school have become beneficial to Li Tang's country.

Breaking the monopoly of the Kanto clan is related to the hegemony of the future, and the country of Datang will show a different elegance from the past.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin smiled, "My sister is so far-sighted and broad-minded, I cherish my daughter." ”

Yan Yuan said with a smile: "I am quite fortunate to be a daughter. My mother must feel the same way. Moreover, the second brother regrets that I am a daughter, but I feel that my daughter's body cannot enter the phase, but I have long been the commander of the three armies, galloping on the battlefield, and I am invincible. Now he is giving advice to his father and the emperor, and he is judging the world, who is inferior to men?"

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" Li Shimin was also happy for a while and forgot that Yan Yuan was not an ordinary daughter, her skills in this body had not been buried, Yan Yuan's growth really surprised him extremely much, and unconsciously, Yan Yuan had become a strong man who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands into rain, and he also had to avoid three points.

Lowering his eyes, he glanced at Li Jiancheng inadvertently, Yan Yuan has been close to Li Jiancheng since he was a child, and some of Li Jiancheng's changes he knew were because of Yan Yuan, but ah, the state of mind and vision can't be taught, presumably Yan Yuan has already understood.

They are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, and their mother taught them to respect their elder brother when they were younger brothers, and to love their younger sister when they were older brothers, but I don't know when Yan Yuan has grown into a person who not only does not need them to be protected as elder brothers, but even balances the relationship between them.

Regarding the undercurrent between him and Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin is not a fool, he has already noticed it, but what if he detects it, he has never been a weak person, if he wants to pretend to be an incompetent person to support Li Jiancheng, the eldest brother, he will not.

If one day in the future, Li Jiancheng can't sit firmly in the position of the crown prince, it can only be because he has no ability, not because he is too capable.

With different thoughts, Yan Yuan was also quite helpless, Li Yuan was only afraid that with the passage of time, he would be more and more inclined to Li Shimin, because now even when she was talking to Li Shimin about the Taixue Martial Arts Academy, Li Shimin talked eloquently, but Li Jiancheng couldn't interject, and he was very powerless...... After all, Li Jiancheng was still far behind by Li Shimin......
