Chapter 102 Strange Peak Protrusion (II)
Li Xian's stature is not high, although because of the practice of martial arts, compared to ordinary teenagers, it is much stronger, but after all, it has not yet developed, and he is still just a young man, and his walking posture is not too large, some are just steady, but it is so ordinary and often walks out, but it gives people an unstoppable majesty, not only the courtiers who are talking nonsense have quieted down, but even Gaozong can't help but feel a little stunned, and the bright smile on his face is stiff because of this, as for the crown prince Li Hong, was even more nervous and held his breath, and his originally pale and handsome face turned red in an instant.
"Does Xian'er also have a plan to play about the river work?"
I don't know if it's because of nervousness, Gaozong didn't wait for Li Xian to walk into the hall, so he opened his mouth and asked.
"Back to his father's words, the sons thought that the prince's brother had played nearly everything in the matter of the river work, and the deeds would be great for the benefit of the society, and the sons implored their fathers to make a holy judgment." Li Xian ignored the surprised eyes of the courtiers, walked straight to the hall, bowed to Gaozong, and replied respectfully.
"Well, well, very good, do you Aiqing have anything else to play about this?"
Gaozong still wants to support the prince in his private heart, and the reason why the Li Xian brothers are allowed to enter the court is actually just a check and balance, but it does not mean that Gaozong really has the heart to change horses. This time before the early dynasty, the prince cleverly created a gap, branched out Gao Hesheng and other accompanying eunuchs, and handed over the excerpt to Gaozong in advance, Gaozong read it carefully, and thought it was true, since he had the intention to cooperate with Li Hong in the court to perform a big play, the only doubt was that he was afraid that the two kings would rise up and fight, when Li Xian stood up before, Gaozong was indeed worried, but he didn't expect Li Xian to agree with the prince's recital, which made Gaozong secretly happy, but Wuzi was not very relieved, just because Li Xian had not yet expressed his position, at this time, As soon as he heard that Li Xian also agreed to the prince's recital, Gaozong's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and his excitement overflowed.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have no objections."
Naturally, there are objections, not to mention that the Wuhou party does not want the prince to control the river work, even the ministers of the court and the central government are mostly greedy for the governor of the river such a fat shortage, 10 million guan messenger, don't need to be too greedy, just pass a hand, the flower difference of 100,000 guan is indispensable, it is strange not to be red-eyed, but at this moment, who dares to jump out and sing the opposite, haven't you seen that even Li Xian and his brothers have succumbed, and now, in addition to praise, how can there be a second choice to choose.
"Okay, since the ministers and workers have the same opinion, I will approve this fold, where is Yang Wulian?" Seeing that all the ministers had no objections, Gaozong's spirit immediately lifted up, raised his voice, and directly named Yang Wulian.
"The minister is here!"
Yang Wulian as a master craftsman, is a high-ranking official from the three grades, the grade is not low, but because of the relationship between his position, he actually does not have much say in the court, and he rarely appears in the court in the past, but when the court is discussed, he is just an observer, the previous morning when there was a big dispute over the river work, he was already excited, and wanted to make a difference in the river work, but at that time the political dispute was quite intense, Yang Wulian did not dare to make a time, so he could only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, after the dispersal of the dynasty, he was not idle, Went straight to the East Palace, helped the prince to give birth to a plan, the prince's excerpt was actually from Yang Wulian's idea, in order to be able to get the river worker's messenger, and now, the court has decided, the river governor will be lowered, Yang Wulian was so excited that it was difficult to hold himself, this time he heard Gaozong's name, almost rushed out of the queue, and an old face was as red as a monkey's ass.
"Yang Aiqing, the crown prince Bao Er is in charge of the river work, do you dare to do it?"
Yang Wulian has always been responsible for the construction of palace gardens and other royal buildings, and his ability has always been appreciated by Gaozong, and he also has high hopes for his appointment as the governor of the river, but the superficial article that should be done still has to be done, so he asked with a smile.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, the ministers will do it according to their fate, and they will definitely live up to the high expectations of Your Majesty and the crown prince." Fat is in sight, Yang Wulian will not lie and excuse himself, but replied with gratitude.
"Okay, I remember Aiqing's words, and I will give you the will when I go back, remember, the river fortifications involve the safety of the imperial court, Aiqing must not take it lightly, I hope that Aiqing can build miracles as soon as possible." Gaozong was obviously very satisfied with Yang Wulian's statement, nodded with a smile, and praised it.
"The old minister thanked the emperor for his grace, and the minister should die in retribution." Yang Wulian's wish was fulfilled, and under great joy, he kowtowed a few times, and then retreated to the side and went alone.
"Huh? Is there anything else to play? ”
Seeing that the matter of the river work was discussed so smoothly, Gaozong was very happy, looked around at the ministers in the palace, and just wanted to say some words of encouragement, but suddenly found that when the courtiers who had come out of the previous column retreated one after another, Li Xian actually stood in place and did not move, and couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Li Xian with a solemn face suspiciously, and asked hesitantly.
"Back to my father's words, my son does have this chapter to play."
Li Xian bowed respectfully, then took out a yellow silk masked fold from his wide sleeves, held it in both hands, held it high above his head, and replied in a calm tone.
"Ah, this, okay, Xian'er has a book to play."
Gaozong handed over the river work matter to the prince this time, and he was actually a little ashamed of the Li Xian brothers who took the lead in proposing the river work matter, and he really had the heart to compensate the little brothers, but he was afraid that Li Xian would make a fuss about the river work matter at this time, so he couldn't help but be a little hesitant and uneasy, but Li Xian was already standing in the palace, but it was not good to let Li Xian speak, and after hesitating for a while, he still opened the golden mouth.
"Xie Father Emperor Longen, the sons of the ministers are the imperial examination matters, I inherited the imperial examination from the former Sui, tired three generations and less easier, since the ancestors, tired fifteen times big competition, Jinshi a subject to take the number of scholars is only a hundred, but there is no talent in the world? Otherwise, wouldn't you see the folk pearls compared, and there are many people who don't meet talents, why is this so? Because of the fallacy of the Ming scriptures, the Ming scriptures taken by the court, the inherent talents, however, opportunistic people abound, the people who can acquiesce in the scriptures, and the people who know the righteousness are few, often in the past, the people to the scholars are few, the times have changed, the law should be changed, and the ministers think that today's imperial examination is no longer enough for my Tang Dynasty, and it should be reformed! Li Xian's eloquence has been tempered by the officialdom of later generations for a long time, and he is undoubtedly good, and after a statement, he is clear and unspoken, and his tone is quite infectious and appealing, like a hammer smashed on the hearts of a group of courtiers, and the hall was silent for a while, and immediately, the noisy discussion instantly burst out.
The Ming Jing a subject from the Han Dynasty, divided into five classics, three classics, two classics, a pedantic one, three rites, three transmissions, etc., the method of the examination, first posted, then the oral examination, after the question of the righteousness of the ten, the answer to the three policies. It seems that the test is very broad and in-depth, but in fact it is not the case, only because since the Tang Dynasty, the qualifications of the Ming Jing scholars are clearly stipulated - those who have obtained the recommendation of the county or the secretary of state can participate in the Ming Jing Branch, and the result of this restriction is that all the people who can really participate in this subject are the children of the powerful, The number of admissions to the Jinshi Department is very low, and the most one time in a subject is only nine people admitted, compared to the Ming Jing a subject that often takes more than 100 scholars, it is simply not the same, this is not counted, the Ming Jing Department of the first middle school, basically can have an official, but in the middle of the scholar, if the official department does not take it, the same can not be an official, all in all, today's imperial examination is actually the forbidden body of the children of the powerful, there is no fair selection of scholars at all.
Li Xian's recital points directly to the disadvantages and gloom of the imperial examination, it can be said that it is to the point, and the words are not the slightest difficult and obscure, all the courtiers can understand it, in fact, there is no need for Li Xian to analyze the disadvantages of the imperial examination today, these things the courtiers actually know, but the matter is concerned about personal interests, no one is willing to pierce the fig leaf, let alone put forward the idea of change, you don't see the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, less than one-tenth of the officials who are really from the poor family, and most of them are military generals, Once such tacit things were shaken out by Li Xian in court, the courtiers were shocked, but they were also flustered because of this, and they only cared about talking nonsense, but no one dared to stand up and refute Li Xian's performance, not only the courtiers, but also Gaozong didn't know what to say for a while, so he opened his mouth wide, and he looked completely stunned.
"Your Majesty, Weichen also has something to play!"
In the midst of the noise, an official dressed in imperial history clothing flashed out from the end of the queue, hurriedly walked to the hall, and said a loud report, which instantly attracted the attention of the courtiers.
Call...... Old man, good job, enough seeds! The courtiers exclaimed there, but Li Xian was secretly relieved, just because the next thing had to borrow the literary talent of this old master, if there was no participation of King Luo Bin, the drama of the imperial examination would not be enough to sensational the world, at least it could not achieve the best effect expected by Li Xian, to be honest, Li Xian was ready for King Luo Bin to retreat, after all, the friendship between the two sides was not too deep, besides, in the atmosphere of such court deliberations, the pressure was not something ordinary people could afford, Li Xian didn't dare to guarantee that Luo Bingwang would definitely stand up and support him, but now, Luo Bingwang not only stood up, but also took the timing just right, which made Li Xian feel at ease, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile of relief......
