The capital city of Chang'an, before the Shangyuan Festival.

Although it has not yet reached the Shangyuan Festival, the liveliness of the capital Chang'an is no longer comparable to usual.

The people of the capital always seem to have a way to make themselves forget something, as if they are well-informed, even if it is such a thing as forcing the palace, it can't make them last too long with attention and enthusiasm.

At this time, the people are only looking forward to the Shangyuan Festival, which will come soon.

This is a good thing for Datang, and it is also a good thing for Li Shimin.

If the people forget, there will not be much suffering.

Of course, Li Shimin also knows that this kind of forgetfulness is only temporary, and perhaps a small stimulus may be triggered again.

Li Shimin, who became the crown prince, was even busier, as if there were endless things to do every day, and Li Shimin, who became the crown prince, did not move into the East Palace.

Even the crown princess, the eldest grandson of the crown princess, who had just been canonized, did not live in it.

They still live in the Qin Palace, but at this time the Qin Palace, it is customary to call it the West Palace.

On the third day after Li Shimin became the crown prince, the first early dynasty finally began.

It's a very regular kind of early dynasty.

As soon as the day dawned, a group of courtiers were waiting outside the palace to go to the palace, and Li Shimin was busy in his bedroom, wearing the formal clothes of the prince, and his hands trembled with sudden excitement in his heart.

Although he had already controlled the entire Tang Dynasty, he was so excited in the first early dynasty that Li Shimin smiled softly.

At this time, a little eunuch ran over: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers have entered the palace." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and then walked out, and at the moment when Li Shimin walked into the main hall, the little eunuch behind him suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to court." ”

As soon as the voice fell, the ministers saluted one after another: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose......"

The voice was very long, even a little fluctuating, and when Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, when he looked condescendingly at the ministers below, his excitement suddenly disappeared again.

When he sat on the dragon chair, he suddenly realized that he had the power to decide everything in Datang, even including the lives of some people.

When he doesn't have to be afraid of anyone, why should he panic or get excited?

"Flat!"

After the ministers got up, they began to discuss government affairs.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this year was supposed to start the spring exam, but now that the saint is unwell, I wonder if this spring exam will be taken this year?"

The officials of the ministry stood up and asked, and Li Shimin remembered that there was still a stubble for the imperial examination, but he did not immediately make up his mind, but asked: "Do you think, this spring examination or not?" ”

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, someone immediately stood up: "His Royal Highness the Prince, last year, many scholars had rushed from all over the country, and they lived and ate in Chang'an, in order to be able to participate in the imperial examination, so the minister thought that these scholars could not be allowed to run for nothing, and they should still take the exam." ”

Immediately afterwards, another person stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister also thinks that he should take the exam, many scholars are afraid that there is nothing to entangle, if they are not allowed to take the exam, they will not be able to survive in Chang'an, and it is inconvenient to go back, so it is inevitable that some incidents will arise." ”

The word incident, this minister said a bit heavy, and the meaning is already clear, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi rebelled because he was not angry in the exam, which made the end of the Sui Dynasty chaotic, if there was an accident because those scholars failed the exam, it was really not good.

What's more, the current situation is also very special, just the change of Xuanwumen, the scholars in the capital, I am afraid that they all have some ideas in their hearts.

What this minister said made people feel a little afraid in their hearts, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, but his brows frowned slightly, I have to say that what this person said just now also has a certain amount of truth.

But this year's opening of the department is not Li Shimin's wish.

Because Li Yuan has not abdicated, this year is the ninth year of martial arts, if this year is open to the academy, then those who are admitted to the examination are the nine years of martial arts, and they are all selected by Li Yuan.

But Li Shimin wants to have an era name after he ascends the throne and then open a branch to get scholars, so that those talents are selected by him Li Shimin, so that these people will only be more loyal to him, not Li Yuan.

It's just how to refuse, which makes Li Shimin a little embarrassed, say no, why don't you take the test, these scholars are waiting.

There has to be a reason.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, and suddenly saw Pei Lin standing in the crowd with a light smile, and couldn't help but snort in his heart, he knew that this Pei Lin must be waiting to see the joke.

In the final analysis, Pei Lin is his father's person and Li Jiancheng's person, and now although he has taken refuge in himself, he is not allowed to be dissatisfied and want to embarrass himself.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin coughed dryly twice, and then asked, "Master Pei, as my prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Pei Lian, who was standing in the crowd waiting to watch a good show, suddenly heard this, and his face immediately fell, isn't this embarrassing for him?

He naturally wanted to take the exam this year, so that Li Shimin's calculation would fail, but Li Shimin suddenly asked himself, obviously testing himself again.

If he doesn't let him get his way, then the position of the prime minister will not be guaranteed.

Reading it, Pei Lin could only stand up and say: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks it is better to postpone it until next year, first, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just taken power, and he is not familiar with many things, I am afraid that he does not have the energy to deal with so many things, and the imperial examination is a major event, in case of negligence, he will not be able to select outstanding talents, so it will be a bit more than worth the loss, as for the incident, the minister thought that it would not, the reason why Li Mi's incident happened at the end of the Sui Dynasty was caused by many reasons, such as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was deaf, and the people were not happy, and now my Tang Dynasty has opened the countryThe weather is so new that this kind of thing will not happen. ”

Pei Lin is a person who knows the current affairs very well, if it is not his own business, then he doesn't care how these people embarrass Li Shimin, but since Li Shimin intends to ask him, then he thinks that he should follow Li Shimin's people.

And after he said this, there are not many people in the DPRK and China who still insist on this year's exam, of course, it is also possible that some people suddenly understand the situation, so they regret their reckless words just now, and then they dare not say more.

However, there is no shortage of people with a tendon anywhere.

Just as Pei Lin finished speaking, someone immediately stood up: "Those scholars have exhausted their entanglement, don't let them take the exam, what do you let them do next, is it possible to be so hungry, the consumption in the capital is not low." ”

Pei Lian's cheeks twitched, and he glanced up at Li Shimin slightly, Li Shimin looked at Pei Lin and smiled, he still threw this question to Pei Lian.

Pei Lin secretly complained in his heart, thinking about why he had taken refuge in Li Jiancheng in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have to be embarrassed by Li Shimin like this.
