Li Shimin sat on the cushion and was almost amused by Li Yuanji's remarks.

If everyone needs to pray for their own safety by paying protection money, then what else does the court do? Just leave this court directly to you.

Li Yuanji's recent series of actions have made Li Shimin feel entangled.

It's not even clear, is Li Yuanji's ambition still immortal? Or do you really just want to spend this life in peace and continue to be in front of the prince who can be arrogant?

As for someone trying to be unfavorable to Li Yuanji, in Li Shimin's view, this is more of just a rhetoric.

Li Yuanji is full of MMP, Li Shimin can't see himself at all, he doesn't give the money back to himself, and he is forbidden to generate income, which is simply to cut off his own back road.

"Second brother, the younger brother is really poor, don't say that a new palace is built in Taipingfang, and the money and food in the hands of the younger brother at this time is difficult to even buy a place to settle down." Li Yuanji didn't go to fight Li Shimin, he was the boss, so he could only choose to cry poor.

Didn't you let me collect protection money? Okay, then please give me money, give me enough money to spend, if there is money, I will not collect those protection fees.

Li Shimin is also very entangled, the property of the original Qi Wangfu has been divided up by several generals under him, and it is naturally impossible to return the money to Li Yuanji, and now the treasury is extremely empty, so it is naturally impossible to give the money to Li Yuanji.

As for the property of the Qin Palace, it has long been filled into the treasury by Li Shimin, but the hole is still very large.

"Can't stir up public resentment, the official gentry family can't accept it anymore!" After hesitating for a long time, Li Shimin reluctantly made a decision.

Regarding the matter of protection fees, the pressure mainly came from the official gentry families, but the people did not hear of any dissatisfaction, and Li Shimin also felt that he was unable to solve this problem, so he put forward the minimum requirements.

"This ......" Li Yuanji was embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and compromised: "Okay, the official gentry family can not accept it." ”

Seeing that Li Yuanji agreed, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, afraid that Li Yuanji would commit the two hundred and five characters.

But the matter of collecting protection fees is something that Li Shimin absolutely does not want to see, this is like a moth living in the body of the Tang Dynasty, which will arouse public resentment sooner or later.

Li Shimin was well aware of the consequences of doing so, but he had to make a compromise, he didn't have so much energy to deal with Li Yuanji, the whole country was in chaos, and the Turks were ready to move, as long as Li Yuanji didn't cause trouble. As for this matter, it is better to arouse public anger, and he can also take the opportunity to take Li Yuanji.

However, Li Shimin also doesn't want to let Li Yuanji be idle like this, Li Yuanji's talent is still there, which Li Shimin is convinced of.

If you want someone to make mistakes, you have to make that person do more, even if you are a perfect person, you may not be able to do everything.

"Now that the internal and external worries are divided, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, and you will be responsible for the scientific examination in the first month of the next year!" Li Shimin showed a look of looking forward to his brother's success, and said with a sense of anticipation.

Examiner? dominates the power of life and death of candidates in the world, which seems to be very cranky.

No, you can't take it, you can't take it.

That's a scientific expedition, what a big deal? It is related to the future of the country's society, such a big matter, even the emperor does not dare to relax, and the selection of the chief examiner of each scientific examination without exception only has three requirements, one is to be highly respected, the second is to have both talent and morality, and the third is the emperor's henchman.

In Li Shimin's world, is it good to rebel?

You handed over the scientific research to me as an 'anti-king'?

Aren't you afraid that I will buy these candidates, and then carefully cultivate them to control the overall situation of the imperial court?

"Second brother, let's forget about this, my brother doesn't even have a place to live now." Li Yuanji cried with a sad face.

"The proposition, the selection of talents, are all your sole responsibility, as long as you pass the official examination, you will be recommended when awarding officials." Li Shimin raised his chin slightly, such a good treatment, I don't believe you don't accept it.

"Really?" Li Yuanji was slightly excited, this is a complete decentralization, where can I find such a good thing? Moreover, while preparing for the scientific expedition, it did not affect him from doing other things.

"You have no jokes!" Li Shimin suddenly regretted it, could his arrangement be a little inappropriate?

Looking at Li Yuanji's excited appearance, Li Shimin always had a feeling of unreliability, this thing shouldn't choose a bunch of guys who don't understand all kinds of poetry and scriptures, right?

And judging from the recent performance, Li Shimin suddenly had some doubts about whether Li Yuanji would take this opportunity to make a windfall?

But after thinking about it, Li Shimin dispelled this worry.

There is a shortage of people in the imperial court, but it is not the kind of work that is about to be carried out, and now the imperial examination is just a reserve of talents, if Li Yuanji messes around, it is nothing more than a delay of a year.

Anyway, there is still the examination of the Ministry of Officials in the back, and if he can't pass the official examination, he still can't be awarded an official, and these people can't take the exam in Li Yuanji, whether they use it or not, and how to use it, it lies in himself, and there is nothing to worry about at all.

I just hope that I can use this matter to contain Li Yuanji and let him stop messing around in the near future.

"Your Royal Highness, the crown prince is too much of a bully......" As soon as Li Shimin left on his front foot, Yu Ren was aggrieved and couldn't do it.

Li Yuanji didn't care at all, and waved his hand: "It's okay, those official gentry families are not in the plan, and if they don't collect it, they won't collect it. ”

"Your Highness, what the slave maid said is not about this matter, but about scientific research." Yu Ren hurriedly corrected it, although it was very exciting and cool to go to the official gentry's family to collect protection money, but it was also a matter of looking at people, and Yu Ren was picking those down-and-out families today, the real big family, Yu Ren did not dare to go rashly.

Li Shimin's appearance just rescued Yu Ren, who was in an embarrassing and tangled situation. But regarding the scientific expedition, Yu Ren really felt that the prince was insulting Li Yuanji.

"What's wrong with the expedition?" Li Yuanji was puzzled.

"Your Royal Highness, such a trivial matter as a scientific examination, in previous years, the examiner was responsible for it, and you are dignified and respectful, to be responsible for such a trivial matter, isn't this bullying?" Yu Ren hurriedly explained.

The examiner Wai Lang is only an official rank from the sixth grade, which belongs to the middle and lower level in the entire official grade of the Tang Dynasty, but this is only a comparison after all the grades are summed together.

The Tang Dynasty can only be regarded as a real noble official if it enters the fifth rank, and below the fifth rank, even if it is on the sixth grade, it is still an ordinary 'petty official'.

The so-called upper grade has no cold door, and the lower grade has no family, and the critical line lies in the five grades.

On the face of it, let the supreme royal family of King Qi be in charge of the scientific expedition, although it shows the attention of the royal family on the surface, it is actually a slap in the face of the King of Qi, a thing that can be done by an official from the sixth grade, but let you, the King of Qi, who is above 10,000 people under one person, do it, don't you feel ashamed?

Of course, King Qi is the chief examiner, he can't go down to the front line in person, he only has the proposition, the power to point out, if you want to score, it's not impossible, as long as you can be busy.

Under normal circumstances, the examiner in charge of each subject selects 10 test papers for comparison and grading, and then submits them to the examiner for review.

Therefore, the examiner in this era is more like the duty of a big housekeeper, of course, there is power, but it is just 'making ends meet'.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the scientific examination was still in a relatively chaotic era, and all kinds of situations often occurred, and even the examination questions did not form a real standard.

However, Li Yuanji really had a great interest in this task, and had never formulated such rules, which made Li Yuanji faintly feel such an unbearable excitement in his heart.

"Okay, even if it's a trivial matter, this king must make it vigorous, so that future generations will remember this king." Li Yuanji waved his hand indifferently, what a bullshit trifle, what Lao Tzu is about to formulate is the examination room system for more than a thousand years in the future.

Li Yuanji finally felt as if he had found the meaning of existence in this world, and imagined that one day in the future, he could despise the entire court, and patted the emperor's shoulder with a satisfied face and said, "See? ToTM is a student of this king. ’
