Chapter 376: Slap in the face
Chapter 376
Wei Hao sat there, thinking that he could repair the bridge, although repairing the bridge was also something that the court did, but if he wanted to build a bridge across the river, it was estimated that he could not rely on the court, they couldn't repair it at all, although it seemed that there was a Zhaozhou Bridge, but the bridge itself was not wide, not like the Yangtze River Bridge, the span was so large.
"Shen Yong, if you build a study building, have you considered it, then our family will be even more troublesome, and the speed of weakening will be even faster." Cui Xian looked at Wei Hao and continued to ask.
"Eh, what is weak or not, you still want to return to the peak, now that there are so many scholars in the imperial examination, the family will also become an ordinary family, don't think about controlling any court, just do your own thing!" Wei Hao looked at Cui Xian and said, Cui Xian heard it, and stopped talking, thinking about it.
"What, you're against it?" Wei Hao sat there, looked at them and asked.
"I don't mean that, just say, eh, you build a library, we also know that you hold such money, if you don't spend it, it is estimated that the above will not rest assured, you should spend it, but it's okay, there are more people in the world who read, I think, Datang should also be prosperous, right?" Cui Xian immediately said to Wei Hao.
"Yes, Shen Yong, if you want to cultivate, you can repair it!" Wei Yuan looked at Wei Hao and said.
"That's fine, I don't know what to do now, so let's do this!" Wei Hao smiled and said, at this time, a girl knocked on the door outside and came in, followed by some shopkeepers, who came up here with various dishes.
"Let's go, it's not too early!" Du Ruqing stood up and said to them, Wei Hao and they also stood up and walked to the dinner table.
After everyone sat down, Du Yuan began to pour them wine, Wei Hao didn't drink, at the dinner table, they also asked Wei Hao, those workshops are good, Wei Hao told them, which workshop is good, now it is to see if they can buy it, according to this trend, each workshop has a large number of people competition, how much can be bought, it really depends on luck. After dinner, Wei Hao returned to his home,
The next day, Wei Hao still went to the county office, there were still a large number of people who came here early in the morning to line up, Wei Hao looked at it, they were all ordinary people, Wei Hao didn't know if they bought it themselves, or if there were people behind them, Wei Hao hoped that they would buy it themselves.
And on the side of the court, those ministers have already gone to the court, and some people impeached Wei Hao for making money by buying shares this time, everyone has to pay a penny as long as they sign up, and yesterday I heard that they paid a hundred yuan! The minister had just finished his impeachment, and the other ministers were looking at him.
"Well, is there anything else?" Li Shimin didn't want to deal with him.
"Your Majesty, the whereabouts of the more than 100 yuan of money now are unknown!" The minister shouted again.
"Well, more than 100 yuan, where it went unknown? Do you think Wei Hao took it? Li Shimin looked at the minister and asked.
"I don't know yet, because the purpose is not clearly stated, just that it is the cost of this lottery, but according to this trend, this lottery, it is estimated that the county government of Wannian County will collect more than 1,000 yuan, but the lottery fee must not be so much, more than 1,000 yuan, which is not a small amount!" The minister continued to Li Shimin.
"I said is there something wrong with you, even if it is 1,000 yuan, do you think Wei Hao is so bad? Who are you insulting? You insult yourself, haven't you seen money? Cheng Yanjin couldn't listen anymore and asked the minister.
"Cheng Biting Jin, it's not right for you to say this, Wei Shenyong is rich, but what is the use of this 1,000 yuan, it needs to be made clear, and also, this kind of lottery is not good, Wei Hao's workshops need to be handed over to the court,
Now the lottery has made the whole Chang'an, and the people are impetuous, and they just want to queue up every day, but they don't do anything! Kong Yingda immediately stood up and shouted at Cheng Yanjin.
"You fart, what is the use of still needing to make it clear to you, Wei Hao's draw of lots this time was not done by the court, but by Wannian County, those money, he originally had the final say, and, who is impetuous?
Do you dare to say that your family didn't send anyone to queue? Don't want to buy it? I'll obey you, scolding Wei Hao, while thinking about making money from Wei Hao, is there anything like you? Cheng Yanjin continued to shout at Kong Yingda.
"Old man Cheng?"
"Enough, shut up!" Li Shimin immediately scolded the two of them, and then asked: "How many days do you have to finish reading the examination papers of the imperial examination?" On my side, there is a recital, written by Shen Yong, about the reform of the imperial examination system, listen to the ministers, see if there is anything that needs to be added! ”
Li Shimin didn't want to release this concerto, but when he thought about it, those ministers were holding their stomachs full of anger now, but the workshop still had to continue to sell shares, and if it went on like this, he would be irritable.
In addition, in the imperial examination, Wei Hao saw Wei Hao's recital, and he also felt very reasonable, but such a major matter still needs to be discussed by those ministers, so that it can be done, and it is also to divert their attention, even if those ministers criticize this recital, at least it diverts the attention of the workshop.
"Your Majesty, this, the recital for reforming the imperial examination written by Wei Shenyong?" Wei Zheng heard it, stood up and asked.
"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded and said.
"Your Majesty, isn't he, um, isn't he?" Kong Yingda originally wanted to say, is there something wrong with Wei Hao, he is a person who has not read, and he actually wants to propose the reform of the imperial examination, isn't this an insult to himself? As a descendant of Confucius, if you want to mention such an opinion, you should mention it yourself, even if you don't mention it yourself, you need to say hello to yourself in advance, and now Wei Hao has put it forward, what does it mean.
"Your Majesty, you can't let Wei Hao mess around like this, the imperial examination has only been a few decades, although there are some drawbacks, but how can Wei Hao understand the true meaning?" The eldest grandson Wuji also arched his hand and said, and then Fang Xuanling also stood up: "Your Majesty, this concerto, the minister also thinks that there is no need to discuss it!" ”
The other ministers also nodded, they all thought that Wei Hao was not qualified to talk about the things of the scholars at all, although Fang Xuanling and they admired Wei Hao very much, Wei Hao did other things, Fang Xuanling was still very supportive, but when it came to the matter of the readers, this was really not Wei Hao's play.
"I said that the servant shoots, I don't like to hear what you say, there is no need to discuss anything, don't you just see that my son-in-law is not a scholar? But how much my son-in-law has done for the scholars, haven't you forgotten everything? Who proposed the building?
The paper is this, but Princess Changle got it, but it is also Shen Yong's future wife, Shen Yong is not reading, but, for the matter of reading people, the old man thinks, Shen Yong still knows something, and he is also qualified to talk about this! Li Jing immediately stood up and said to those ministers, but those ministers lowered their heads, and no one looked at Li Jing.
This is their bottom line, Wei Hao actually stretched out his hand to their scholars, and he also wanted to reform the imperial examination, regardless of whether this reform plan was good or not, and spread it, wouldn't it be a joke?
"Okay, listen, let's not care whether Shen Yong has read or not, although Shen Yong has not read, but in terms of knowledge, you may not be strong, not to mention anything else, just talk about arithmetic, you are not without comparison, or have you lost all?" Li Shimin sat there, a little unhappy,
Those people look down on their sons-in-law, what's wrong with their son-in-law not studying? He is not uneducated, Shen Yong himself has said that in addition to those classic articles, he will have some others.
"Read it!" Li Shimin asked Wang De to read the recital, and as Wang De recited, those ministers also listened carefully,
When Fang Xuanling heard it, he sighed in his heart, this piece is very well written, and it is also taking into account the actual situation of Datang now, there are 12,000 candidates this year, and next year will only be more and not less, for Chang'an, it is a pressure, and for many students, it is difficult to come to Chang'an, and it costs a lot.
If you change it according to what Shen Yong wrote like this, it will not only make the imperial examination more reasonable, but it will also be a great encouragement for scholars, after all, there will be many people who can't pass the exam, but if you can't pass the exam, you can't help but give some opportunities, at least, so that those who read can be superior, and can inspire people all over the world to read and gain fame.
As Wang De finished reading, the ministers were all sitting there, very silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's very good, and the opinions put forward are all in line with the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, improve the treatment of readers, and let the children of the world come to study, so this time, I am ready to select 1,000 talents and 500 people, that is to say, the top 1,800, I will give some names,
Moreover, it will also make those benefits fall into place, however, Shen Yong did not say how much money and food rewards those showmen should enjoy, but I think that it is necessary to have enough money for him to study, which is equivalent to 200 yuan per month, and 500 yuan per month, which is what the court must give to them.
In addition, because they have meritorious fame, they can see the official without worshipping, if they commit a crime, they need to be reported to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will consider whether to deprive them of their fame according to the actual situation, otherwise, if they have meritorious fame, they will not be allowed to use torture tools! Li Shimin sat there and spoke. When those ministers heard it, they all looked at Li Shimin in shock, this is all accepted, and His Majesty has personally perfected it?
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and it needs to be discussed in detail by the ministers!" Fang Xuanling immediately stood up and arched his hand and said,
At this moment, he felt that his face was hot and panicked, and the other Wenchen were also panicking, they all felt panicked, this Wei Hao actually proposed such a good reform plan, they couldn't help but want to praise when they heard it,
But they can't praise it, because it was Wei Hao who wrote this plan, that was the sworn enemy of their Manchu Dynasty Wenchen, this kid slapped himself in the face I don't know how many times, and the number of times he humiliated himself in court was not a few.
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed very important, please discuss it!" Kong Yingda also stood up, and the other ministers all stood up and arched their hands and said,
Li Shimin also laughed in his heart when he saw them like this, knowing that they never dreamed that Wei Hao would be able to come up with such a plan.
"Okay, when the time comes, copy it and distribute it to various departments, you discuss it in detail, and after three days, see if you can do it, and I will also write my opinions on the recital, and you will consider it together when the time comes!" Li Shimin opened his mouth to speak, then stood up and said, "Go down?" ”
said that he went down to the court, and he was very proud in his heart, let you Wenchen look down on your son-in-law, now you know how powerful your son-in-law is, if the imperial examination is reformed like this, who can not remember Wei Hao among the scholars in the world? Who doesn't read Wei Hao's kindness,
Their so-called scholars look down on Wei Hao every day, saying that Wei Hao doesn't learn and has no skills, and now this person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do things has done so much for those readers, and they, the so-called scholars' ministers, have done nothing.
Li Shimin returned to his study and sat down,
On the side of the main hall, those generals don't have anything, but those civil ministers, like defeated roosters at the moment, are all sighing.
"Dr. Kong, you say, now, what should I do?" A Wenchen looked at Kong Yingda and said,
Kong Yingda kept touching his beard, heard the minister's question, and glared at the minister fiercely, isn't this revealing his scars? Still ask yourself what to do? Do you know what to do? Do you dare to oppose it yourself? No matter from that aspect, Wei Hao's piece is very good, it is of great benefit to the readers, and it is also very beneficial to the court.
"Eh, underestimate Shen Yong!" Fang Xuanling also sighed beside him and said.
"Fang servant shooting, my son-in-law, although he doesn't read much, but he is not without knowledge, what he does, the old man believes, many of you can't do it, what you can do, my son-in-law will definitely be able to do it, of course, in addition to writing articles, but in terms of facts, you compare with him, no!" Li Jing was also a little angry at the moment and said, just now Fang Xuanling also opposed Wei Hao.
"Senior Brother Yao, don't talk cool here, can you save some face for the old man? I don't know how good Shen Yong is? But, eh, as soon as his piece of music comes out, you let me shoot a servant, where is the face separated, if this is proposed by other ministers, the old man will feel very bright, but now Shen Yong brings it up, you know, how many books has Shen Yong read? Well, I haven't read a few books at all, and the book given to him by His Majesty is still in the cell, you say, eh! "Fang Xuanling is so depressed, I don't know how to say it, who should I tell about my depression?
"Well, hypocrisy!" Li Jing touched his beard and walked away proudly,
Fang Xuanling's words just now, he understood, it was not that his son-in-law wrote badly, but that he wrote so well that he slapped their Wenchen in the face.
"What should I do? Agree? Dai Xuan came to Fang Xuanling's side and asked.
"You don't agree to try?" Fang Xuanling glanced at him, turned around and left,
Dai Zhou was even more depressed, originally thinking that they would unite to suppress Wei Hao in the future, but they couldn't catch Wei Hao's first move, how could they suppress this?
The ministers glanced at each other, then looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
And in the study room of Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin sat there, boiling water to make tea, and then asked Wang De: "What about Shen Yong, I haven't seen him for a few days, and the person is gone, this rabbit cub, I still have to worry about him every day, and I can't go to the court, you go to Wannian County and call him over!" ”
"Eh, it's Your Majesty, the little one immediately ordered someone to find it!" Wang De nodded and said, and then went out, while Li Shimin continued to make tea and drink.
After a while, Wang De came in and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down!" ”
"Well, let Gao Ming in! Shen Yong notified you, right? Li Shimin nodded and asked. has already set off, and after finding Xia Guogong, he will be back soon. Wang De said immediately, and then went out, and then Gao Ming came in.
"Father!" Li Chengqian came over and saluted Li Shimin.
"Sit down and say, you are also busy during this time, I heard that Qingque is looking for your mother to ask for money again?" Li Shimin asked.
"Well, the son of the son knew about it, so he took the green finch away, he wanted to take the money to buy some shares of the workshop, the son of the son thought, the money of the inner money, the queen mother did not dare to give the green finch like this, after all, there are so many younger brothers, once they ask for money, what should the queen mother do,
So Erchen pulled him out and asked him to send him 10,000 yuan, so that he could buy it himself, after all, the money in the East Palace, Erchen can still be the master, in addition, Erchen thought, since he gave Qingque 10,000 yuan, when the time comes, Erchen will see if he can buy 10,000 yuan for the slave, I'm afraid that he can't buy it, if he can buy it, it's good! Li Chengqian sat there and said with a smile.
"You, don't cling to them like that!" Li Shimin said with an unhappy face on the surface, but he was actually very satisfied in his heart.
Of course, Li Chengqian knew Li Shimin, so he was also very happy, but he still said with a wry smile: "Father, Erchen is just two younger brothers of the same mother, you say, Erchen is the prince, how can he not take care of these two younger brothers?" Especially Qingque, now is the time for him to do nonsense, you said that if you don't satisfy him, you don't know what kind of mess to add to the queen mother, anyway, the income from the son's side is okay, and there is nothing!
"Well, don't do this next time, don't rely on him like this, it's not like words! It's good that you're the prince, but you can't arrange everything for them. Li Shimin continued to say to Li Shimin.
"Yes, yes, next time the retainers will pay attention!" Li Chengqian nodded and said.
"Well, by the way, what do you think of Shen Yong's recital?" Li Shimin then asked.
"Okay, in fact, Shen Yong's recital also has a deep meaning, that is, to reserve talents for the court, Erchen believes that those people and shows are useful, once the court needs it, it can be used at any time, not like now, so that no one is available in the court!" Li Chengqian immediately nodded and said,
Li Shimin was very satisfied when he heard him say this, and being able to see this showed that he understood the deep meaning of Wei Hao's doing.
