When Li Shimin opened the newspaper, he was actually a little expectant and inexplicably excited.

However, when the merchant shouted, he didn't actually mention his article, which once made Li Shimin think that the Chen family had made a mistake.

However, in the first edition that caught his eye, he saw his own article, and Li Shimin suddenly woke up to the fact that it should involve the emperor, so the merchant did not dare to use this as a selling point.

It's just that Li Shimin's article is still listed on the front page, which is very eye-catching!

Li Shimin immediately read this familiar article carefully, and probably felt that there was nothing wrong, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The people who sit in the same seat in the tea shop also open the newspaper at this time, and the people who can come here to drink tea, not to mention that they are either rich or expensive, often have a little floating wealth at home, so there are many people who buy newspapers!

That's what the message is...... The first time I watched it, I thought it was fresh, but the second time I watched it, I was ...... It's starting to get used to it.

After all, after reading the newspaper, you can talk to people about the news in it, but if others have read it and you haven't read it, it will be difficult to communicate with people.

Only this time, someone opened the newspaper, and his face changed instantly, and he involuntarily said: "It's amazing, it's amazing." ”

The person who spoke had a solemn look on his face, and his face turned white.

A few other people who were reluctant to buy the newspaper suddenly attracted attention, and it was not easy to get together to borrow someone else's newspaper to read, and when they saw this person open the newspaper like this, they scratched their hearts with a hundred claws, and said that something serious had happened.

So I didn't care about feeling sorry for the thirty yuan, so I simply stopped the merchant who was about to go downstairs to continue to sell, and hurriedly said, "I'll have a copy too." ”

The spirit of the merchant was immediately encouraged.

Today's newspaper sales are better than yesterday's, and this newspaper can earn two cents for himself, and although this work is hard, it is enough to feed the family, so he busily continues to sell it, and then goes downstairs.

Everyone was in a hurry, and when they got the newspaper, they couldn't wait to open it, and then ...... The Emperor's article came into view.

This is simply an unprecedented thing for ordinary people! After all, the signature on the top is clear...... It's unheard of.

In fact, for ordinary people, the emperor is too far away from them, and the closest contact they have is just a small official!

Even if it is a small seven-rank official, in their eyes, it is also an extremely remarkable figure, and further up, any minister who is not in the stream is also very scary to them.

Can ...... now Suddenly I saw this ...... I can't stand it anymore.

Their eyes widened, and they looked straight at the newspaper as if they were about to get into it, and they couldn't wait to keep their eyes on the inside of the newspaper, and they recognized it word by word, and they seemed extremely serious.

The other versions of the news, they were obviously not interested, but read the article carefully several times, and then suddenly raised their heads.

Li Shimin obviously paid attention to people's reactions to his article, so on the surface, he also looked down and read the newspaper seriously, but his face was silent.

At this time...... An old Confucian man suddenly sighed, then shook his head and said, "This ...... This is really an article written by His Majesty! Otherwise, who would dare to be so bold and have such a big tone? Ay...... This is unheard of. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire tea shop suddenly boiled.

This is truly unprecedented......

"It is really ...... that this newspaper can write an article by His Majesty himself It's really ...... The old man already knew that it had a deep background. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw everyone's shocked appearance.

On the other side, a middle-aged businessman-like person couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty's article is about persuading students to study, and persuading the military and civilians to study as hard as possible, this book ...... I read it a few times, but I didn't know ...... What is the meaning of Your Majesty's revision of this article and its publication in this newspaper? ”

The people in the tea shop suddenly became lively, and the old Confucian stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "Persuade to learn, naturally there is a deep meaning, the current emperor, although he is about to get the world, but after all, he knows that he will get the world immediately, and the truth of ruling the world will be under Ma Wen, if everyone can learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, wouldn't everyone be able to know the book and reason, and finally be able to rule the world?" Your Majesty Shengming, you really grasped the key point of the great rule of the world all of a sudden. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but wonder.

The merchant couldn't help but say: "But the boss didn't say that he wanted to learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, but just persuaded him to learn." ”

The old Confucian said angrily: "Learn...... Learn...... Learn...... Isn't the world's learning Confucius and Mencius? Other Learning...... It's all miscellaneous, not in the stream. ”

A young man on the other side was dissatisfied: "I don't think so, how can Your Majesty let everyone in the world learn from Confucius and Mencius?" If so, then nothing else needs to be learned, and everyone else can get it. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Qian looked at Li Shimin's expression cautiously, and couldn't guess His Majesty's thoughts for a while.

On the other side, there is a humanitarian: "If it is just to persuade students, why does Your Majesty need to write this article, according to me, it is because the imperial examination is about to begin, and now Your Majesty attaches the most importance to this imperial examination, and this article may be written to encourage these people who are about to take the exam." These lift people...... If you can go to high school, your future is bound to be limitless. ”

"Not necessarily...... If it is a person, it is sufficient to issue a decree, which can be put in the newspaper...... There must be something deep, the emperor's heart is unpredictable......" A businessman lowered his voice, and continued: "I heard that because of the imperial examination, many children of the clan have failed to become officials, and they have begun to jump their feet, could it be ...... Is it in the name of persuasion to learn, to beat and warn the world's big surname? ”

Many people pricked up their ears at once, apparently ...... People like to speculate in this direction.

But if you think about it, it makes sense, people are emperors, what is the emperor, the emperor is a high-ranking existence, civil and martial arts, otherwise what would you do if you write an article in a good way?

The old Confucian didn't argue with anyone anymore, squinted his eyes, and looked taboo: "It's also possible that those children of the world can't even pass the Erpigou University Hall. Your Majesty is writing this article on this basis, perhaps...... That's exactly what I mean. Your Majesty is Your Majesty, it is really unfathomable, how can I guess his mind by waiting for Xiaomin. ”

Li Shimin felt that these people's guesses were already a little excessive, so he couldn't help coughing: "Ahem...... Perhaps, it was just the whim of the emperor, improvised? It doesn't necessarily mean anything when it's written. ”

Li Shimin's voice fell, and the tea shop fell silent.

People were silent, all looking at Li Shimin with idiot faces.

When the old Confucian heard this, he couldn't help but jump up and said, "You know a hammer!" ”

Li Shimin: "......"

The old Confucian had a slight excitement on his face, shook his head and said, "The dignified son of heaven will improvise like an ordinary person like you?" Do you think the emperor is you? This Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and there are still three thousand beauties in the harem, and people are full of food and support, just to improvise this? After writing it, let people publish it? ”

Li Shimin's face twitched involuntarily, he actually felt that it seemed that the words of this old Confucian were very reasonable!

Some of the guards sitting next to each other suddenly became nervous and looked at Li Shimin's face.

It can be seen that Li Shimin's face has returned to a little normal, and they are relieved, so they continue to sit quietly.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't reply, the people in the tea shop began to talk again: "Your Majesty, this is really Your Majesty's own letter." ”

Someone said, with an excited face: "I have to take this newspaper back, I have to frame it myself, and hang it in the hall at home. ”

Some people also said thoughtfully: "I used to think that the kid in my family was not very willing to study, and he refused, so that's it, after all, ...... My family is not one of those big family surnames, fortunately, the family still has some surplus money, barely able to support, but now that I have read His Majesty's article, I feel that His Majesty has encouraged him like this, and nine times out of ten, those who have studied in the future will still have a lot to do! If you don't ask him to be a sergeant, it is good to be a showman, and after I go back, I have to teach the disobedient boy a lesson. ”

Someone suddenly responded: "Yes, yes, reading is the right job." ”

Li Shimin listened to the crowd and discussed, but after being embarrassed, his heart suddenly shook the storm.

Looking at everyone here who reacted to one of his articles, he gradually realized that he was just a random article, and the repercussions it triggered were completely beyond his expectations.

In this small tea shop, just because of an article, it makes people think about it, and even ...... It may have changed many people's minds.

Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "Everyone, ......"

When everyone saw Li Shimin speak again, everyone always felt that Li Shimin was a bit unearthly and incompatible with everyone, so everyone was reluctant to deal with him.

But Li Shimin had to interject, but everyone still maintained basic politeness.

Li Shimin said: "I remember that the emperor's will was also issued in the province from the front door, and I vaguely remember that there are also those who persuade to learn." ”

Li Shimin said that, and someone immediately replied: "What does Menxia Province have to do with us?" ”

Li Shimin was immediately asked.

However, the old Confucian seemed to know more about this kind of inside information than others, he glanced at Li Shimin and said, "Lang Jun is not an official eunuch at home, this makes sense." You are an official family, and you may be able to hear the decree of the door, but this actually has nothing to do with us ordinary people. The decree issued by the door was sent to the six ministries, and the six ministries were then sent to the relevant government offices. Let's talk about persuasion, send it to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, nine times out of ten, also pretend, to show that they obey the will, and then use official documents to send the meaning of the will to all states in the world, and the state officials of the states in the world will send it to the county, and the county will find some studious people to come and report it layer by layer, which can be regarded as persuading to learn. As for the ordinary people, it really has nothing to do with this purpose. ”

Li Shimin was confused...... This is completely different from what he thought, it turned out to be ...... That is true?

In this way, most of the wills are actually going around in circles in the prefectures, counties, ministries, and three provinces, like a cat scratching its own tail?

And many times, he thought that the will to be conveyed to every corner of the world, although there would be a response from the states, but in fact...... These responses have nothing to do with the people.

Li Shimin was speechless for a while, and felt that his face was slightly red.

However, he was still a little unconvinced, so he said: "Even so, there may be officials who are lazy, but there are always some capable ones." ”

This topic continued here, the old Confucian was a little unhappy, looked at Li Shimin coldly and said: "Laziness is actually good, the old man is honest, which of the ministers in this court is not ten fingers that do not touch the spring water?" Whether they are capable or not, they are all from the high world! Even if someone wants to be capable, they are actually ignorant of the people. The old man is from Shaanzhou and is now doing accounts in Beijing. Let's just say that we are in Shaanzhou, the year before last, there was a great drought, at that time the imperial court was also good, sent an observer to inspect the disaster, before coming, I waited for the small people to listen, one by one overjoyed, because I had long heard that this observation made good at words, good at talking. And the simplicity of things, and at the same time the two sleeves are clean, such clean officials, Xiaomin is the favorite, and they all say that they are saved this time. Who knew that after he took office, he only exalted himself with instrument rhyme, disdained details, transferred power to subordinates, and only talked about words every day, but never asked about practice. Even when the people complained about the drought and came to him, he pointed to the tree in his courtyard and scolded: 'There are leaves here, why is there a drought?' Then he thought that the people were slippery, and immediately ordered them to be scourged, and they were driven out. Look...... This is already an official with an excellent reputation, at least he refuses to be greedy for money and food in the drought, but unfortunately, most of them are such fools. How can you expect such a person to be out of order? ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned.

Year...... Shaanzhou's observation envoy ...... Li Shimin suddenly had some impressions of this person.

He vaguely remembered that the officials had a very high evaluation of this person, he was a capable official and an incorruptible official, and he, the emperor, seemed to have praised this person.

But listen to the man in front of me...... Is this person so confused?

When the people ran to talk about the drought, he pointed to the tree in his courtyard and said that there were leaves on it, and where was the drought, so he ordered that the people who came to complain about it be punished.

The words of this old Confucian suddenly resonated with others, and some people said: "The old man has met a good one, but he is just confused, if he encounters that vicious one, I don't know how." ”

Everyone said yes with the same feeling.

Only Li Shimin's face was particularly gloomy, he pursed his lips tightly, grabbed the tea cup in his hand, and his arm trembled, but he tried his best to endure it, and it was inconvenient to have a seizure.
