Kong Yingda is not a master of officialdom, and the reason for his impeachment of Li Kuan was quickly investigated by Li Zhong.

Under the leadership of Kong Yingda, the impeachment of Li Kuan became more and more noisy, but it was just a fuss, and it was pulled to the imperial examination, and the direction was completely distorted.

On the one hand, it is constantly emphasized that the teaching of the Mutual Aid Primary School does not respect the ancestors and misleads the students; Li Kuan, on the other hand, said in his book that the students of the Mutual Aid Primary School mainly went to a few subjects such as the Ming Law Department and the Ming Arithmetic Department of the Imperial Examination, and had no intention of taking the Ming Economics Department and the Jinshi Department.

Officials born in the Korean and Chinese worlds were happy to see Kong Yingda and Li Kuan fighting there, and they also added fuel to the fire, and finally Li Shimin threw out a reform of the imperial examination and cut off some of the subjects of the imperial examination that were of little significance.

Kong Yingda naturally supported the imperial examination, which allowed scholars to have a formal way to enter the court, which was very useful for promoting the development of Confucianism.

Although the family also knew that the original intention of the imperial court to introduce the imperial examination was to expand the scope of talent selection, break the residual influence of the Jiupin Zhengzhong system, and weaken the influence of the family on the court.

However, they don't think that their children will be worse than those who are halfway out of the house, so their alertness is not very high.

In fact, although the imperial examination has existed since the Sui Dynasty, there are really not many children of the poor family who enter the court through the imperial examination; According to the original history, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, after the family adapted to the imperial examination, it ushered in a wave of talent explosion, and the influence of the Cui family, the Zheng family and other families in the court was even greater than that in the early Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid went to Dengzhou, and asked His Royal Highness the King of Chu in detail about his views on the reform of the imperial examination, and he put forward two points, one is that the reform of the imperial examination should be done slowly, and it should not change too much at one time; On the other hand, he asked the imperial examination papers to be named and copied before they were marked. ”

Li Kuan had discussed with Li Shimin about weakening the family before, and also mentioned the need for reform in the imperial examination, and the source of this incident was also related to him, so Li Shimin specially sent his personal eunuch Lan He to Dengzhou Mansion.

"Hu Ming, copy and then read the papers?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he immediately figured out what was powerful in it.

"Go and summon a few important ministers to come over and discuss the reform of the imperial examination again."

Li Shimin made a decision in his heart.

In the end, Kong Yingda scolded Li Kuan and messed around, but he helped Li Shimin complete an important step to weaken the family, and I don't know if Kong Yingda will spit out a mouthful of old blood after knowing what he really wants to do.

……

In June of the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin officially announced to the world that the reform of the imperial examination would be implemented, and the new regulations would be applied from the spring boudoir at the beginning of the eighth year of Zhenguan.

The readers of Datang were shocked by a new news.

In fact, it is mainly the scholars of Chang'an City, because the Tang Imperial Examination is held once a year, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth from other places, so they either give up the imperial examination or stay in Chang'an City.

"What is he, Li Kuan, why did he preside over the compilation of the "Tang Dictionary", did my father agree?"

Li Tai angrily threw a thick dictionary on the ground.

"Lord Wang, in fact, according to the eyes of his subordinates, this "Tang Dictionary" is not much better than "Shuowen Jie Zi", but it just uses the pinyin like the ghost drawing symbol tossed out by the King of Chu."

"What's the use of saying it's nothing? If my father thinks it's good, that's enough! Haven't you heard, my father asked the Ministry of Rites to promote this pinyin to the entire Tang Dynasty, and the recent books published by Xinhua Bookstore basically have pinyin on them, and there is even a booklet dedicated to learning pinyin. ”

Li Tai has always considered himself the most talented in the royal family, although he was robbed of the limelight by Li Kuan for a period of time, but with Li Tai's continuous efforts, coupled with Li Kuan's relatively few works recently, Li Tai has regained the feeling of the year.

It's a pity that this feeling didn't last long, and it was shattered one after another by a series of combination punches such as "Three Character Classic" and "Datang Dictionary".

"His Royal Highness King Wei, I heard that Kong Yingda and the King of Chu were quite unhappy some time ago, why don't we go to him and join forces to impeach the King of Chu?"

"Impeachment? What to impeach him? Li Kuan came up with this thing to promote more people to be literate, the more people who are literate means the more disciples of the Confucian family, he Kong Yingda is too late to be happy, how can he object? ”

"Hey, this King of Chu is too unprincipled, everyone Kong Yingda has knocked on the door, and he is still helping him."

"Woman's view! Where is Li Kuan helping Kong Yingda? He was pleasing his father! This king wondered, he was a concubine who went out, and he was destined to have no fate with the throne, why did he always not accept the good intentions released by this king? ”

"Don't be discouraged, His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't accept His Royal Highness the Prince's solicitation."

……

A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other.

Li Kuan made several big moves one after another, and immediately attracted countless down-and-out scholars to shift their eyes to Dengzhou Mansion.

Whether it is Chu Suiliang, Shangguanyi, or Xu Jingzong, although he used to have some reputation in Chang'an City, he was far from being famous.

But now, the names of the three of them have resounded in the sky, and even Li Shimin is familiar with them, and the future is destined to be not bad in the future.

The most important thing is that they are doing things that will last for generations and leave a name for eternity.

This is the dream of most readers?

Go to Dengzhou!

Make a name for yourself!

This has become the choice of many scholars during this time, and Dongfang Ping is one of them.

"Brother Dongfang, have you really decided to go to Dengzhou to join His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

Su Chengguan watched Dongfang Ping pack his luggage from the side, his face was melancholy.

Dongfang Ping is full of food alone, and the whole family is not hungry, so when he goes to Dengzhou, as long as he thinks about it himself; But Su Chengguan has parents in Chang'an City, and they hope that they will take the orthodox imperial examination, and if they become officials in the court, they will not be able to persuade their parents to change their minds in a short period of time.

"Brother Su, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is talented, ambitious, and deeply loved by His Majesty, so there is a lot to be done in Dengzhou."

"No matter how powerful the King of Chu is, he is only a prince after all, and he can't be promoted, Brother Dongfang, you have to think carefully."

"A few days ago, I saw an arithmetic book written by His Royal Highness the King of Chu in Xinhua Bookstore, and I couldn't understand a lot of the content in it. Brother Su, you know, I'm most interested in arithmetic, even if it's just for arithmetic, I'll go to Dengzhou. ”

"Although the Ming arithmetic department is also a subject of the imperial examination, the future is limited, even if it is the final official of the ministry, he can only go to the household department to be a nine-grade sesame official, and it is difficult to be promoted throughout his life."

Su Chengguan can be regarded as genuinely considering his friends, but everyone's pursuit is different, and in the end he still did not convince Dongfang Ping to stay.
