Chapter 132: Li Lao Er's pit on the eve of Wang Xuan
Father, I don't agree with what you said, love the people and gather the hearts of the people, I agree with this, but if you want to say that it is more important to govern the country, it is still the talent, but you should also know that because for thousands of years, knowledge is in the hands of a few people, and many of the people at the bottom are wise, and it is impossible for them to govern the country."
When Li Shimin said this, Li Yuan was a little confused, and felt that what Li Shimin said made sense, but soon he thought of the method of selecting talents formulated by Yang Jian in the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination.
Isn't this a way to break the monopoly that everyone in the world has always had on knowledge? So I talked to Li Shimin about the imperial examination.
After all, the imperial examination was held to select talents from the people and give the people at the bottom a way to be promoted, but because of education problems, it is still difficult for the people at the bottom to do a big deal.
After all, if you want to train a reader, it takes too much time and money, and even many times because of the constraints of conditions, there may not be books to read if you have money.
In the end, the father and son still didn't think of a good way.
Although their father and son are not stupid people, they are somewhat imprisoned by their vision and thoughts, and they don't think about hardware at all, and they have been looking for ways to be in the system and people, so how can it be effective.
At that time, this discussion made their father and son, especially Li Shimin, more clear about the direction of governance, that is, to suppress the family, gather the hearts of the people, and appoint virtuous people.
And why the family is suppressed is because taking the Sui Dynasty as an example, how the Sui Dynasty died, there is no one who knows better than their father and son, that is, the Sui Dynasty, especially during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, most of the national finances were in the hands of the family, resulting in the court having no money and being constrained by the family everywhere.
And gathering the hearts of the people is to take the Qin Dynasty as an example, and you can't be like the Qin Dynasty, regardless of the life and death of the people at the bottom.
You must know that in the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shi Huang formulated the law, he didn't consider it at all, and the people of the other six countries who were unified by him couldn't adapt to the strict laws of the Qin State at the beginning.
But Qin Shi Huang didn't care about this, thinking that as time went by, eventually the people of the Six Kingdoms would succumb, although the answer was as Qin Shi Huang thought, the people gave in, but there were also countless grievances backlogged, plus at that time, Qin Shi Huang did not kill those nobles of the Six Kingdoms at all, but only imprisoned them in Handan.
As soon as Qin Shi Huang died, under the instigation of careerists, and then in the name of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, he easily summoned the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who could not stand the laws of the Qin State.
Imagine that if Qin Shi Huang at that time was ruthless to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and tolerant to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, even if Qin II was so mediocre, the people and the ministers of Qin would endure it, looking forward to the emergence of the next generation of Ming monarchs and famous ministers, instead of just one person exposing the rod together, there were so many people against Qin, after all, by the time Qin II succeeded to the throne, the Qin Dynasty had unified the Six Kingdoms for nearly 20 years, and the new generation of people had grown up, as long as they could live, who would rebel, so this king didn't hate, look at Liu Bang, he was ruthless enough, Not to mention the remnants of the Qin Dynasty, even the ministers who accompanied him to fight the world that might threaten the rule of his old Liu family were slaughtered by him, but his policies were very good for the people.
As for the appointment of virtuous people, in this regard, the two generations of kings of the Li family think that they have done a good job, especially Li Shimin, how many capable ministers and military generals under him will be discovered and used greatly.
"Father, haven't we all forgotten our business, aren't we discussing how to trap Wang Xuan's bastard and use him as a reason to attack the family? How did it become a discussion of statecraft and a discussion of history?" Li Shimin looked at his father and said helplessly.
"What else is there to say, you are ready here, send Gao Ming to Wang Xuan's kid's house, and then let him meet Zheng Guanyin by chance, and wait for Gao Ming to return to the palace, and pass through his mouth, the matter will be solved, but there is one thing that your brother-in-law values feelings, remember to protect your sisters and them, otherwise that kid can really hate you for a lifetime" Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin and said to him softly.
"I'll explain this, as for Gao Ming! I really don't need to send it, he is there now as soon as he has time, he is talking about going to Wang Xuan's place, if it weren't for my pressure, he would have run away a long time ago, it makes it seem like Wang Xuan is his father" Li Shimin said there with some jealousy.
"Then you kid don't have a good time to reflect, it means that your brother-in-law is not doing anything good" Li Yuan saw his son's jealous appearance, and gave him a sentence angrily.
"What's better than me, that's not Wang Xuan's guy, it's delicious to cook! He also made some gadgets, and they were all liked by children, and it was strange that Gao Ming didn't like him, but seriously, what Wang Xuan made out of this guy is really good, what kind of watermelon was sent to you a few days ago, I also tasted it, and it tasted really good" Li Shimin said with emotion there.
"Yes! Shimin, you say, Wang Xuan, this kid is really a god, he can grow green vegetables and fruits in this winter, as well as those strange things, all of which are from his hands, but he is such a person, he really can't write, do you say it's strange" Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin after speaking.
"Father, Shimin thinks that Wang Xuan doesn't know how to write, but he can't write the font we use now, or just pretend, after all, when he scolds me, and when he teaches them, it can be said to be justified, from this point of view, Wang Xuan's guy must be a learned person, and we are not also because of this, so we plan to pit him and hit the family at the same time, if you can arouse his dissatisfaction with the family, you are really good, it is best to let this guy personally fight with the family, That's better," Li Shimin said to his father with pity.
"It's also huh! Then let's take a good look at what kind of surprise your brother-in-law can bring us" Speaking of this, Li Yuan also laughed.
And Wang Xuan, who didn't know that he was about to come into a catastrophe, was leisurely taking his daughter back home at this time.
It's just that as soon as he got home, he found that the atmosphere was not right, and when he got aware, he realized that it was Ruping and Luo Yang who had come before, and told Li Xin about them.
This made Li Xin blow up directly, although because of Wang Xuan's guarantee, Li Xin finally beat Ruping and Luo Yang in front of everyone in the palace to punish her.
That's why the atmosphere in the house is like this.
