Chapter 66: Doubts Explained (I)

Li Xian had never considered the imperial examination before, and he didn't know much about the mystery, if he heard Li Xian mention this matter so cautiously and cautiously in the past, I was afraid that he would inevitably scoff at it, but after more than half a year of experience, Li Xian was no longer the former Ameng, although he had not yet realized the importance of the imperial examination, but he knew that Li Xian's analysis was indeed correct, just because he had heard a lot of complaints from folk poor students about the existing imperial examination selection system in his short career in the history of assassination. It's just that Li Xian didn't take it to heart at that time, but now with Li Xian's analysis, and then look back, it suddenly became everything in his mind, of course, it is one thing to understand that the imperial examination system should be reformed, and it is another thing whether he Li Xian should propose it, in Li Xian's view, this move is very much a bit of a fire to take millet from the fire, and whether he can get the chestnuts without hurting his hands has become something that Li Xian must consider in detail.

It's hard, it's hard! Li Xian repeatedly deduced several times in his heart, and was quite unwilling to find that it was difficult to find a way to get the best of both worlds, so that the problem of gain and loss was also highlighted - while pleasing the poor scholars, it was bound to deeply offend the interests of the wealthy families, and the relationship between the two was almost one and the same, and there was no way to avoid it, the problem was that Li Xianyi proposed this chapter of the imperial examination reform, and this end had not been able to gather the hearts of the poor scholars, and the wealthy families on that side had already offended, just this one, It was enough to make Li Xian feel intimidated, but after all, this strategy was offered by Li Xian, and Li Xian was unwilling and unwilling to veto this proposal easily, so he could only silently think about the wording of the refusal in his heart.

"The seventh brother said that the imperial examination must be changed, but I don't know how this change should be?"

Although Li Xian had secretly rejected Li Xian's proposal in his heart, he didn't want to show it like this as soon as he came up, so he considered his tone and asked cautiously.

"So that my brother knows, the younger brother has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and he has a lot of experience, first, although my Datang is now a military prestige, it is a pity that the generals are getting old, and there are quite a lot of worries about the future, however, the people are many heroes, if they can be used, why not be happy? Therefore, the younger brother thinks that when he opens the martial arts, he can learn from the generals, and the subjects can be set as five items, such as military strategy, cavalry archery, rifle shooting, horse pistol, and weight, and those who are excellent in the county assessment can be Wu Xiucai; Those who are selected in the state can be Wuju people; All martial artists are eligible to participate in the three-year competition, and those who pass the examination are martial arts scholars, and they are awarded martial arts, so that they can be selected to be able to go to the army. Second, the existing imperial examination is complicated and chaotic, both Jinshiju, and Mingjing, Mingshu, Mingshu and other names, it is not for the country to select materials, but to facilitate the wealthy family to make profits, absolutely not advisable, according to the younger brother, Mingshu, Mingshu or can be retained, for the Ministry of Industry and other professionals for the use of talents, as for the Ming Jing but the way to take the trick, not for the country to choose materials, when to go, to Jinshiju as a substitute, it is true, Jinshiju also needs to change, in addition to the procedures are such as martial arts, its subjects should be easier, the current policy, scriptures and other practices should be the core, As for the poetry, it should be supplemented, and the scale of the scholars should be greatly increased, if so, the court should not have the regret of missing the pearl, and there is no risk of lack of talent. Li Xian's eloquence is excellent, and he will talk about it at length, without even taking a breath of air, not only that, but also in an orderly manner, every sentence can be implemented, even if Li Xian has long been determined not to accept this policy, but he is still deeply attracted by the connotation of this policy.

"The seventh brother has done a great article, if the brother can call the shots, he should follow the advice, but ......"

Li Xian pondered for a while, but he really couldn't find out the reason for not accepting this strategy from Li Xian's words, and in desperation, he had to shake his head and sigh.

Li Xian's refusal was naturally expected by Li Xian, the reason is very simple, reform has never been without a price, especially this kind of change to the existing vested interest groups, it will set off a monstrous wave, this kind of situation that may collapse the boat is not something that Li Xian, a person who has not yet established a foothold, can afford, but Li Xian's excerpt was not intended to let Li Xian come forward, so he naturally didn't care about his refusal, of course, Li Xian wanted to reform the imperial examination, not that he couldn't see the risks, It's just that Li Xian has a last resort, and this is precisely the secret that can't be spoken, everything is because of Li Xian even if he doesn't make this matter clear, it won't be long before the Empress Wu will make a fuss about it, and its purpose is to say that there is not much difference from Li Xian's arithmetic, they all want to cling to the officials from the poor family to make a fuss, in this case, Li Xian will not give the benefits to the Empress Wu, when it comes to the risks to be taken, in fact, for Li Xian, such an idle prince, It's really not a big deal, he has neither authority nor official position, there is really nothing to lose, as for the infamy, Li Xian cares about that thing, he is scolded a few words left and right, and a piece of meat is indispensable, who loves to scold it.

"Sixth brother, if you can call the shots, can this strategy be successful?" Although Li Xian had his own ideas in his heart, he didn't plan to break it immediately, but asked with a smile.

"Well, if so, or feasible, in the long run, Dali Sheji, but it may not be good in the near future, the seventh brother is not to blame for the brother bluntly, if this strategy is on the top, it will become a public enemy, it is really difficult to deal with, and it is really unwilling." Seeing that Li Xian seemed to be unwilling to give up the reform of the imperial examination, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and simply made his own point of view clear.

"The sixth brother said this very good, the younger brother also thinks so, the sage has a cloud: Gou Li Sheji, life and death, the younger brother is not talented, willing to do it, since the book is clear about this matter, if the arrangement is appropriate, this matter will be taken over by the sixth brother, and the infamy of the younger brother will suffer it, I don't believe that a little infamy can help me?" As soon as Li Xian's voice fell, Li Xian immediately clapped his hands and laughed, and said impassionedly.

"Oh? Annens? ”

When Li Xian heard Li Xian say so surely, he couldn't help but be moved - if he could really benefit from the imperial examination, and he didn't need to offend those wealthy families, it would naturally be a good thing, Li Xian had no reason not to do it, but there were two questions that made Li Xian dare not make this decision easily, one of them was naturally how to implement this strategy to achieve the above goals; As for the second, that is Li Xian's unspeakable worry - why did Li Xian do this, Li Xian has been thinking hard about a question these days, that is, why Li Xian should fully support himself, but unfortunately he thought about it and couldn't find the answer, at this time, this question once again surfaced in Li Xian's mind like a ghost, but it was not good to ask Li Xian directly why he was like this, so he could only ask vaguely.

"Didn't the sixth brother say that he was going to go to this chapter of Caoyun before? Since others have benefited here, they should always find someone to make up for it, Father Emperor Shengming, will not lose the sixth brother, just Cao Yun This chapter, the younger brother will be on the book, won't everything go smoothly? Li Xianming knew that Li Xian's question had a double meaning, but he deliberately pretended to only understand the layer on the surface, and explained it with a smile.

"Well, having said that, it's just that the relationship is very big inside, and it is better to be cautious in the end, for the brother is shallow, you have to think about it, how about discussing this matter again?" Li Xian is a very smart person, how could he not think of this trick that Li Xian said, but when the most fundamental problem was not solved, Li Xian did not want to settle the matter so quickly, so he replied in a deep voice, and the words were already full of the meaning of expelling customers.

"It should be so, it's not early, the sixth brother has been on the road for a few days, when he is tired, the younger brother doesn't dare to delay your rest, so he will leave." As soon as he heard Li Xian say this, Li Xianzi would not linger longer, after all, some things cannot be explained in words, even if they are explained, they may not be able to convince the other party, rather than this, it is better to let Li Xian think clearly, in view of this, Li Xianzi hurriedly stood up, smiled and said goodbye.

"Well, the seventh brother walks slowly, and he won't send it away for his brother." Li Xian had something in his heart, and he would not force Li Xian to stay, so he got up, signaled his head, and watched Li Xian go out of the door, and then paced back and forth in the room anxiously, but unfortunately the road was not less, but his brain was like a paste, and he had no thoughts, so he had to go back to the bedroom in a huff, and hurriedly freshened up, and did not change his clothes, so he lay on the couch and continued to think wildly, unconsciously, people were already in a half-dream, half-awake between......

"Bastard, who's making a noise outside!"

Just when Li Xian had just slept a little more peacefully in a daze, he suddenly heard the commotion outside, and he couldn't help but be exposed, straightened his waist, sat up straight, and roared angrily when he stared.

"Your Highness is angry, Your Highness is angry!"

Don't look at Li Xian's temperament has been calm for most of the past half a year, but once the fire starts, the power is still very scary, and the poor two little maids waiting in his room are all so frightened that they fall to the ground, but they kowtow vigorously and beg for mercy.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Hearing the sound in the room, Zhang Che led a few guards to rush in from outside, and when he saw Li Xian's angry appearance, he couldn't help but be a little panicked, but Zhang Che was quite calm, and hurriedly ran forward, and hurriedly bowed down and asked.

"Nothing? Hum! Why is there so much noise out there? Say! Li Xian had something in his heart, coupled with lack of sleep, he was very angry, glared at Zhang Che fiercely, and shouted at the top of his throat.

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, it is His Royal Highness King Zhou leading people to practice martial arts." Zhang Che is Li Xian's companion, and he knows that his master has a bad temperament, so he was glared at by Li Xian like this, so he unconsciously shrank his neck and hurried back.

"Martial arts? Xi Shiwu in the middle of the night? As soon as Li Xian heard that the movement was made by Li Xian, he was angry in his heart, so he reluctantly spoke.

"This ......" Zhang Che was stunned, and replied helplessly: "Your Highness, it's already five o'clock. ”

"Ahh When Li Xian heard this, he reacted, it was not that others were making trouble, but that he slept by himself, so he couldn't help but suffocate, shook his head, didn't attack everyone again, and didn't say anything anymore.

"Your Royal Highness, the slave maid has heard that His Royal Highness the King of Zhou has never put down the practice on the journey, and the same is true in the post station these days, and the noisy post station is not peaceful, and he actually made a noise to His Royal Highness, it really shouldn't be, or the slave and maid will ask His Royal Highness the King of Zhou to stop some?" Seeing that Li Xian didn't have another seizure, his face was still very unhappy, Zhang Che hurriedly approached and flattered.

"Hmph, is this something that a lowly person like you can manage? Don't quit yet! Although Li Xian was unhappy in his heart, he was not confused, how could he really let Zhang Che mess around, in case he really annoyed Li Xian, they would not look good at each other, so he glared at Zhang Che angrily, and snorted coldly with great dissatisfaction.

"Ah, yes, the slave obeys."

Zhang Che is actually not stupid at all, the reason why Li Xian came out to talk about things was just to calm Li Xian's anger, and when he saw Li Xian calling to retreat, how could he not slip away quickly, so he hurriedly agreed to the promise and led the people to leave.

"Slow, you said earlier that the seventh brother has been practicing martial arts these days, but the truth?" Before Zhang Che walked to the door of the room, Li Xian's voice with a strong suspicion came from behind.

"That's true, the slaves and maids have already sent someone to ask." Zhang Che didn't understand why Li Xian wanted to ask about this, but he didn't hesitate at all, and hurriedly replied.

"Oh?" Li Xian nodded blankly, as if he remembered something, his brows couldn't help but lock, but after a moment of silence, his eyes suddenly lit up, his eyebrows raised, and he laughed loudly, his heart was full of sudden realization-like pleasure, and Zhang Che and the others were full of confusion when they heard it, and no one knew what Li Xian was laughing at......
