Mingde Gate has not been so lively for a long time, as the mastermind behind the scenes, Lu Wenyuan and these people do not need to come to the front desk, they are hiding in the teahouse from afar to watch the excitement, they are very satisfied with the scene outside the city gate, in his opinion, the more people, the more momentum he planned to stop and ask for his life.

Therefore, when Xiao Yu, Sun Xiangfu, and a group of courtiers who stayed in Chang'an drove out from Suzaku Street, he had the mentality of watching a good show.

When he was still far away, Li Shimin saw the scene in front of the city gate with a telescope, and Xiao Yu had already greeted him quickly when the students were about to make trouble, however, seeing so many people present, Li Shimin was a little scared.

"Left and right guards, step forward to maintain order and avoid stampede."

"Order."

Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong each led their headquarters to step forward, lined up on both sides of the cement avenue in front of the city gate, all the way to the city gate, if the sharp-eyed people will find that the saddle of Yu Chigong, an old goods, is made of gold, and it is also inlaid with glass gems and other things.

It's not that he won the first place in cavalry in the whole army's competition, but that he forcibly accepted Xue Li, who won the first place in cavalry, as his righteous son, and this gold and jade saddle is Xue Li's prize, and now he is called 'safekeeping' by his cheap father-in-law.

As for the gold belt with the first fist and feet, it is really not so easy for Xi Jun to buy, otherwise, I am afraid that he will also be pocketed by this old goods. There is no way, the new generation of fierce generals makes him have to obey the old, so if he wants these things, he can only rely on means.

"Wait, welcome Your Majesty back to ······"

The officials who stayed in Chang'an, under the leadership of Xiao Yu, bent down and bowed, calling for peace in unison, Li Shimin was about to call Pingsheng after receiving a salute from the ministers in the car, but he heard the tsunami-like sound of the mountains at the gate of the city.

"Grass people, welcome Your Majesty back to the court, welcome Your Majesty back to the court, welcome Your Majesty back to the court······"

For the voices of these people, Li Shimin listened to it, and felt even more joyful, and after the uneven shouts of the people passed, Li Shimin smiled and said loudly, "I am very comforted by the fathers and elders who have worked to welcome each other, and the weather outside the city is cold, and I also ask you fathers and elders to return home quickly, there is no wind and cold." ”

A simple sentence of self-criticism made Li Shimin gain a lot of fans, however, at this time, the discordant voice sounded as expected.

"Your Majesty, the grass people and others have something to do, I hope Your Majesty will see ······"

"Your Majesty, there are traitors in the country, and we have words to advise you······"

······

Chaotic and noisy shouts came from the city gate, at this moment, the left and right guard soldiers over there were using spears to shoot horizontally, stopping many people who were about to break through the guard line in the crowd.

Xiao Yu, Sun Xiangfu, Sun Xiangfu, and Sun Wuji, who had already greeted Xiao Yu in front of the carriage, cast an inquiring look, and after getting a positive reply, Li Shimin said, "Left and right guards, let them come forward to ask." ”

"Order."

Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong stepped forward, pointed to the students who were attacking the guard's defense line, and said, "If you have something to say, you will gather in one place according to the order, and the other idle people will disperse." ”

After a while, more than 1,000 scholars mixed with the crowd gradually dispersed from the people, and were brought by the soldiers to Li Shimin's car, and the people, who loved to watch the excitement, did not listen to Li Shimin's words and went home, but surrounded them more tightly, wanting to see what these people had to say.

"Who are you, and what are your words?" Li Shimin's majestic voice sounded.

At this time, a scholar stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we are students from all over the country who came to take the examination, but it is because of the state-owned traitors and the cholera imperial examination that we have to stop and admonish." ”

The identity of this person has already been checked by Wuying'er, and he is a branch of the Lu family in Fanyang, named Lu Qian, and he is also one of the core organizers of this hurdle.

"Who is the one to admonish?"

Li Shimin's voice was still majestic, but there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes, and now, he didn't even have the spirit of acting with these lackeys of the family.

That Lu Qian pointed to Xiao Yu and Sun Xiangfu, who were standing not far from the car, "Shangshu left servant shot Xiao Yu, and Sun Zhengming, the governor of Anbei. ”

"How did the two of them get the cholera examination?"

"Your Majesty, these two people disregarded the laws of their ancestors in vain, wantonly revised the imperial examination system, not only put our scholars and craftsmen and businessmen on the same side, but also came up with a kind of internship system, so that those people decide whether officials should go or stay, this is a bad etiquette and contempt for the monarchy, I hope Your Majesty will strictly investigate."

After Lu Qian finished speaking, Li Shimin turned his head to look at Xiao Yu and Sun Xiangfu, who were standing side by side, "You and the other two, can you answer the advice?" ”

"The minister should admonish, the system that this person said was changed by the old minister, Sun Zhengming is just the deputy of the old minister, and he acts according to the orders of the official, and it has nothing to do with him."

Today's play was discussed by Xiao Yu and Sun Xiangfu, and Sun Xiangfu naturally would not jump out to steal Xiao Yu's limelight, but his position still had to be stated, and he also followed Xiao Yu to take a step forward and said, "The new imperial examination system proposed by Xiao Xiang, the minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with it, so he acts according to the order, and the minister asks His Majesty to allow Xiao Xiang to solve the doubts of the students who do not know the true meaning." ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, "Since this is the case, Xiao Xiang, you will come forward to solve the doubts of students from all over the world, and after I listen, I will deal with it." ”

"The old minister obeys."

After Xiao Yu bowed down to receive the order, he turned his head to look at the group of students and said, "You said that the old man was in vain to take care of the ancestors' success?" Excuse me, is that ancestor? What is the law? ”

Hearing this, Lu Qian was a little hesitant, this tone and style seemed to be a little wrong! If he really identified Emperor Yang of Sui, who had formed a system of scholars, as his ancestor, not to mention that Xiao Yu would not agree, and the people present would not agree!

However, he also has a trick to avoid the important and light. After thinking about it for a while, he said stubbornly, "The imperial examination is a system of taking scholars handed down during the Sui Dynasty, and all the laws of my Tang Dynasty follow the former Sui Dynasty, and they are arbitrarily compiled and changed into laws. ”

"Oh, it turns out that you are talking about the law of the former Sui! Wake up, kid, it's the Tang Dynasty now, and even the so-called scholar title in your mouth is no longer in Guanzhong.

Here, there are only first-class citizens, second-class citizens, and third-class citizens, and a scholar like you is a second-class citizen, and if you are vexatious and offend the holy face, it is a crime, and then you are likely to become a third-class citizen. ”

Xiao Yu's tone of voice was peaceful, however, no matter how you listened, there was a smell of Sun Xiangfu in it, just now Lu Qian said that he was a scholar, and he was in the same column as the workers and businessmen, and it seemed that he was a great scholar, and he looked down on the workers and businessmen, and the workers and businessmen in the crowd of onlookers stopped doing it and began to shout.

"That is, I have already implemented the civic system in Guanzhong, you are a scholar, you are a second-class citizen with me, and if you don't participate in the imperial examination with us, you still want to go to heaven······!"

"This person must be a hillbilly from other places, I heard that the citizenship system is now only implemented in our Guanzhong and Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, don't blame those who don't know!······"

"Take the system formulated by the former Sui Dynasty to manage the people of my Tang Dynasty, this person must have read his brain badly, what else will the Sui Dynasty do in addition to increasing taxes and miscellaneous taxes? Can you send someone to teach us to plant new crops and build new houses······, like the saints of today?

Although the shouting was noisy and there was any tone, Li Shimin listened very comfortably, but he couldn't let the people continue to talk like this, raised his hand, and soon, the scene calmed down, Li Shimin said, "This student, my Datang is not a system that follows the former Sui, your article doesn't seem to be valid!" ”

"Your Majesty is right, the former Sui is the second dynasty that died, it can be seen that its various management systems are unreasonable, which has led to public resentment, my Tang Dynasty was only because I wanted to pacify the war in the Quartet, and there was no time to formulate a new system in a comprehensive manner, so I followed part of the system of the former Sui, this student is not in the center of the official, I don't understand the reason, and it is understandable, what objections do you need, you can put forward, and the old man will answer them for you one by one." Xiao Yu saw that the situation was better than expected, so he answered.

"Okay, even if this is wrong for the student, but to use craftsmen, businessmen and the like as officials, what is the so-called thing? If these people do not read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and are greedy for profit and unrighteousness, how can they be the parents of the people? ”

As soon as he said this, the crowd of onlookers shouted louder, and some people even scolded directly, that greedy and unjust? Is it true that only those of you who have read the Four Books and the Five Classics are righteous men and gentlemen?

Then, Xiao Yu stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaling everyone to remain quiet, and then said, "This student, do you know how to farm?" ”

Lu Qian was stunned when he heard this, and replied with some stumbling, "Uh, this, a certain student who has been studying since childhood, how can he do such a vulgar thing." ”

Xiao Yu didn't bother to look at his embarrassment, and said to the group of scholars behind him, "Won't you either?" ”

Those people shook their heads one after another, saying that they were noble scholars and would not do the menial work of farming.

Then, Xiao Yu asked again, "Do you know how to work?" For example, building a house, building a big ship? ”

At this time, Lu Qian shook his head with many students, the social status of workers is lower than that of peasants, and of course they will not do what workers do.

Then, Xiao Yu said, "Then you should know how to do business!" You only need to use your brain and mouth to do this. ”

However, those students did start to use their brains, shaking their heads quickly, indicating that they would never be in business.

After they all expressed their attitudes, Xiao Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, "This is difficult to do, what the imperial court lacks now is officials who can farm, work, and do business. ”

All the students shook their heads habitually.

Sun Xiangfu and Li Shimin glanced at each other, holding back a smile, they couldn't imagine that Xiao Yu was also an old drama bone!
