Chapter 146: The Emperor's Helplessness
Just when Li Chengqian was worried about the printing press.
The court also blew up the sky.
Many people have seen the book-buying frenzy in the past few days.
Of course, Li Shimin also knows.
For Li Chengqian, he was able to complete the task so satisfactorily.
Li Shimin was extremely happy.
It's just that if he is happy, there must be someone who is unhappy.
For example, those families.
They have now gradually reacted to what Li Chengqian is going to do.
He sells books at such a low price, obviously to compete with himself for a job.
Those families, no matter which one, would not allow this to happen.
He is not allowed to let things out of his control.
……
This day is early.
Li Shimin, who was kneeling behind the table, waved his hand: "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat." ”
"Minister, I have something to do."
Wei Zheng stepped forward.
Li Shimin was stunned: "Come on." ”
Wei Zheng raised his head and said: "Minister, Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao State, as a minister of the court, always does things to compete with the people. ”
"Minister, Li Chengqian, the king of Qin, as a prince, does not want to study government affairs, idleness all day long, and even does illegal things that disrupt the market."
The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Chengqian were both involved.
And it was also recruited by Wei.
This kind of thing is all too rare.
Li Shimin was stunned.
Before he could react.
Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Yao Silian, Xue Shui and other scholars all stood up.
Their words are almost identical to Wei Zheng's.
They are all involved in the lawlessness of the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Chengqian.
And throughout the whole process, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was standing aside, didn't say a word.
He is the smartest person in Datang.
How could he not know what the situation was now?
Those who stand up are either from a family, or they are inextricably linked with the family.
He and Li Chengqian snatched food in the family's bowl, how could the family make them feel better.
Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji had expected it a long time ago.
And he thought of it, how could Li Shimin not think of it?
It's just that he really didn't expect that there would be so many people standing on the side of the family in his court.
And it's all ministers like Wei Zheng.
The only thing that made Li Shimin happy was that those generals did not stand up.
If Cheng Yanjin, Li Tao, Li Jing and others also stood up, then he would really die of sadness.
Wei Zheng and the others continued to kowtow.
"I hope that Your Majesty will depose Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao, and Li Chengqian, the king of Qin."
"Ordered the closure of paper mills, printing plants, the closure of bookstores in the market, and the recovery of books that had been sold."
At that moment, Li Shimin's face turned red.
He almost gritted his back molars to say the words.
"Biography, Li Chengqian, the king of Qin, came to see me."
……
When Li Chengqian came to the court.
I saw the Wenchen in the court kneeling down a large piece.
Only the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others are still standing.
When he saw the bitter smile of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian immediately understood what was going on.
This is clearly for himself and his uncle.
Li Chengqian walked to the front of the hall, knelt on his knees and kowtowed: "Son, I have seen my father." ”
Li Shimin waved his hand indiscriminately: "Qian'er, these ministers in front of you have asked me to depose you and the eldest grandson." ”
"And let me close down the bookstore, paper mill, and printing house, what do you think about this?"
Li Chengqian said directly: "The seizure of the bookstore, paper mill, and printing house is equivalent to digging one's own grave. ”
"Your Highness is serious."
Wei Zheng faced Li Chengqian.
"That's it, Your Highness is only nine years old, what can you understand?"
Some ministers followed.
"Your Highness, don't you know that in the past few days, the books you have sold have disrupted the market and closed many bookstores."
"Your Highness, do you know how many people have been left without food due to what you have done?"
"Huh."
Li Chengqian laughed directly: "If you use this kind of words to impeach me." ”
"Isn't it almost meaningful?"
Li Chengqian looked at the group of ministers and said, "If you ask me what I know, I can tell you that I know a lot." ”
"What Boling Cui's, Qinghe Cui's, Fanyang Lu's, Xingyang Zheng's."
"Taiyuan Wang, Langya Wang, Chenjun Xie, Chenjun Yuan, Lanling Xiao."
"The Zhu family, the Zhang family, the Gu family, the Lu family, the Yixing Zhou family, and the Wuxing Shen family of Wu County."
"Hedong Pei's, Jingzhao Wei's, Hedong Liu's, Hedong Xue's, Hongnong Yang's, Jingzhao Du's."
"Henan Yuan, Henan Yuwen, Henan Yu, Henan Lu, Henan Yuan, Henan Dou."
"By the way, there is also my uncle's Henan Changsun clan."
He directly said the surnames of all the families in the Tang Dynasty in one go.
The ministers in the hall all looked at him with horrified eyes.
Is he crazy?
In the court, how dare you say this?
Li Chengqian didn't care about it at this time.
He smiled and glanced at everyone and asked, "Does this king know enough?" ”
He seldom calls himself king.
Unless you're really angry.
These people in front of him are ministers of the court on the surface, serving the country and the people.
In fact, they are all dirty.
"What's wrong with me letting people all over the world study?"
"What's wrong with me making the world literate?"
Li Chengqian looked at the crowd: "It's because I hurt the interests of your mother clan that you want to come to join me?" ”
A minister faced Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is stunned, you better let him go down." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, if Your Highness is allowed to act so recklessly, all the families will be offended, and our Datang will have no one available."
Wei Zheng even knelt down and kowtowed: "If Your Majesty is bent on protecting these two, please dismiss us and others." ”
A group of ministers responded: "Please dismiss me and others for Your Majesty!" ”
That moment.
Li Chengqian was extremely helpless.
It is not false at all to say that Li Tang Jiangshan was born in sorrow and died in peace.
The enlightenment of the Tang Dynasty was born in the wrong period.
A time of great family.
Of course, there is a system of imperial examinations that can select talents nationwide.
But the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty can be called the most unfair imperial examination of all dynasties.
During the Tang Dynasty, the quota for the imperial examination was biased towards Chang'an, and it was even difficult to find a ticket for candidates who were not children of Chang'an.
Secondly, once a year, non-Chang'an candidates must pass the preliminary examination every year, and then enter the Chang'an final examination.
If you don't pass the exam, you have to go back to your hometown to prepare for the next year's exam.
You know, in ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and most of the time was delayed on the road, so how could there be time to study.
Candidates who fail to make the list can only seek help from the family, or take refuge in high-ranking officials.
It makes the door vertical and horizontal, and the officials collude.
There are only 30 people who can rely on the imperial examination to enter the court every year.
In this regard, Li Bai once said: "I don't want to be the marquis of ten thousand households, but I hope to get to know Han Jingzhou." ”
Bai Juyi once said: "Chang'an residence, it is not easy to ......"
Even when the Tang Dynasty fell, there were very few examples of commoners becoming prime ministers because of the imperial examinations.
And what is the final outcome of this?
Huang Chao said: "When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom." The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. ”
Then he broke through Chang'an City in one fell swoop.
The Tang Dynasty also came to an end.
Looking at these people in front of him, Li Chengqian had already seen the ending of the Tang Dynasty.
And when Li Shimin looked at these people, his eyes were full of anger.
It's yourself who is the emperor......
But he still has to be like a clown, swayed by these people......
This is the emperor's helplessness......
