As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, all the civil and military officials at the scene were speechless.

There is nothing to say about this, Li Chengqian is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, so he should follow the example of Yao Shunyu, the Holy Emperor.

As for Confucius, of course, he cannot be the absolute object of emulation of Li Chengqian.

However, in the second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin changed the place where the statue of Zhou Gong was originally placed in the Temple of Literature to the statue of Confucius.

Over the years, Li Shimin has been surrounded by Confucian ministers, and often tells Li Shimin some seemingly smooth Confucian truths, Li Shimin believes in it, so he admires Confucianism very much.

Therefore, Confucius's status in people's thinking is still very high, and the ministers do not answer rashly.

However, after Li Chengqian's question today, it is difficult for Confucius's status to be promoted again.

As long as Li Chengqian can bring the Tang Dynasty to the prosperous era later, Confucius will not have so many disputes in the next one or two thousand miles, because no one will worship Confucius as the most holy teacher.

Seeing that the ministers did not speak, Li Chengqian continued to say to the ministers: "Confucius praised the Holy Emperor and the famous ministers for not reading Confucian books, but the later Confucians read poetry and books one by one but did not achieve anything.

Therefore, you should not think that after reading a few Confucian books, you will grasp the truth, and you can point out the country and tell you that you are still far away.

Go back and read the "Anti-Book Theory" written by the lonely king! ”

"The ministers obey the teachings of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian looked at the hundred officials and bowed their heads, and then motioned to the forbidden army to take Xiao Jun down.

Li Chengqian turned to the people and said: "An ignorant official, who wants to separate the lonely king from the common people, don't pay attention to it, we will start digging a ditch." ”

The civil and military officials looked up and saw Li Chengqian walking away with the people with the iron milling again, and his mood was very complicated, even if it was neither good nor bad.

After a while, the ministers didn't know what to do when they heard Li Jing say loudly: "Quickly send someone to find an iron mill for the old man, and the old man will also dig a ditch with the people." ”

Saying that he didn't wait for his subordinates to help, he took off the purple official robe on his body.

The civil and military officials were very speechless when they saw Li Jing undressing in public, but soon everyone couldn't care less and despised Li Jing.

For the officials saw the old ghost driving several carriages, and on each carriage were bundles of iron milling.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time, everyone has iron milling, don't worry!"

The old ghost greeted everyone with a smile as he walked.

Seeing this, Li Jing folded up his official uniform and handed it to the servant, and said to Gao Shilian: "Shen Guogong, the old man is going to compare with you today, who has dug more." ”

Gao Shilian's servant was helping him take off his official uniform, and Gao Shilian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The old man is not afraid of digging a few mills of soil. Speaking of this, referring to the people who were working, he said with a look of embarrassment: "It's really ...... to work like this."

Li Jing laughed when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to be the Holy Emperor, what else can't you and my courtiers do?"

Gao Shilian could only sigh and follow Li Jing to find the old ghost latte milling.

Because of the size of the officials, the place where they stood was relatively loose, and the officials behind them were all standing together, and they couldn't stretch their hands and feet when they undressed.

The last one of them all jumped, hurriedly took off their clothes, went to get the iron milling, and was already sweating before they could work.

Then, wiping his sweat, he dug along Suzaku Street where the white line had been drawn by the Ministry of Works.

Li Chengqian, who had already dug more than a foot long, looked up and saw that the officials had finally taken off their coats and started to work, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

This time was different from when Li Chengqian first crossed, he led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to shovel snow, because that time it was a disaster that had become a disaster and had to be saved.

Moreover, the work was also divided into classes, and the officials wore thick leather jackets and followed Li Chengqian to shovel snow, and their sense of superiority was still there.

This time, it was for them to wear short fights and work with the common people, which may not be anything in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it was almost unacceptable in the Tang Dynasty.

That is, now that Li Chengqian's prestige is extremely high, and he has just dismissed a counselor, these officials have reluctantly taken off their official uniforms.

……

Li Chengqian was digging a ditch, Wang Qun hurriedly walked to Li Chengqian's side, and said in a low voice: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Chengqian glanced up at him, stopped and walked to the place next to him where there were few people.

Wang Qun followed step by step.

Li Chengqian stopped and said lightly: "Say it!" ”

Wang Qun hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, today in the entire Chang'an City, wherever the Ministry of Industry has drawn a white line, there are people digging sewers.

Many people are family members sent by officials and nobles, and some scholars have few servants in Chang'an City, and they even sent people out of the city in advance to take care of the people and enter the city......"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he looked up at the officials who were complaining about their grievances, and then looked at the generals and servants who were working neatly in the distance, and there were four or five thousand people standing on the entire Suzaku Street.

Li Chengqian secretly said in his heart: It seems that even if he and the civil and military officials don't dig up the soil today, these officials will also arrange for domestic servants to dig the sewers on both sides of Suzaku Street.

These scholars who have just come out of the troubled times still have a certain responsibility, no wonder Li Shimin is so strong that he can't get rid of them?

Later, the descendants of these scholars lost their responsibilities, but the descendants of the Li Tang royal family were even worse, rotten to rotten, and they could only hold on to the remnants together.

Li Chengqian nodded to indicate that he understood, and went to dig the ditch again.

As the sun turns south, the temperature gets hotter.

Gao Shilian and a few other old ministers dug for a while, and they were all tired and sat on the wet mound by the ditch without any image.

Li Chengqian also had several blood blisters on his hands, but he still didn't want to stop, it was really too big in the morning.

If he is anticlimactic, I'm afraid that those dirty ministers won't let him go.

And those ministers saw that Li Chengqian was still working, and the young officials did not dare to stop, and the two sides were in such a stalemate, torturing themselves and the other party.

The old ghost saw that he didn't dare to persuade Li Chengqian, so he pushed over the prepared sour plum soup and beckoned everyone to come and drink the sour plum soup.

When Li Chengqian saw it, he walked out with the iron milling.

The old ghost saw Li Chengqian and the officials stop, and hurriedly glanced at Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi, who were standing on the periphery.

When the two saw this, they took the guards of the East Palace to occupy the undug place for Li Chengqian and these officials, and hurriedly dug it for them.

Li Chengqian took a bowl of chilled sour plum soup, took a sip of it, looked up at the civil and military officials as if they had just gotten off the battlefield, and walked to the side of the sour plum soup cart with each other's arms, and the attendants hurriedly served them one by one.

After everyone drank the sour plum soup, they walked to the shade under the city gate to rest.

Li Chengqian also helped the old ghost to walk over, looking at the ministers of the scholar clan who paid great attention to their appearance in the past, and felt a great sense of accomplishment as soon as they sat on the ground.

The minister sitting on the ground looked at Li Chengqian, who was dirty, and he had no strength to make a simple salute.

Li Chengqian didn't care, and walked directly towards the place where Gao Shilian and other high-ranking officials were.

Gao Shilian and the others were busy and wanted to get up and salute, but Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop them.

Li Chengqian walked under the city wall and sat on the ground.

"The lone king is here to say something serious."

"What is His Royal Highness the Prince's will, please make it clear."

"Many officials in Chang'an City have been implicated in the rebellion of King Jing and have been arrested and imprisoned.

Therefore, there are too many vacancies in Chang'an, and Gu Wang is ready to reopen the examination for miscellaneous officials and officials who have entered the stream from outside the flow in the past two years.

There are also some loyal non-resident officials who can directly register for the examination if they think they are talented.

What do you think?"

The ministers, of course, thought it was not.

Originally, some of their relatives and friends who had vacated official positions were already on the way, and now they suddenly proposed to take the exam......

But they don't dare to stand up to Li Chengqian now, so they can only think of other ways.

Several ministers exchanged glances, and finally Gao Shilian said: "The ministers have no objections." ”

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this: "That's good, the list of officials will be screened by the Ministry of Officials, and then submitted to the Imperial Historical Observatory for review."

The examination is conducted by the Ministry of Rites, and for the sake of fairness, it is just like last year's Donggong Examination Chongxian Hall Bachelor, and the ...... is copied from the paste."

Li Chengqian said out the detailed rules one by one, and the ministers were weak to respond one by one, and they no longer had any hope for the official positions vacated this time.
