Li Wei laughed.

The old man of the Zheng family seemed to be talking to himself and the smell of gunpowder was getting heavier and heavier, but it was exactly what he wanted.

How many affairs do you have, the dispute between the Korean and Chinese regimes, the Turks, the construction of water conservancy, and the Wa Kingdom and Silla, these are the four major things that must be done at hand. There is also Wu Chenghei's housekeeper, how to cooperate with his mother, and the small affairs of the Zheng family.

This line of work may be very important, but for me at the moment, it is definitely a trivial matter, but it is a top priority for the Zheng family. With the wise old man in front of him, if you talk in circles, you won't be able to talk about it for three days, so it's better to really take a little bit.

After laughing, he said, "Zheng Weng, would you really do that?" ”

Zheng's father said that the most important thing in the family is reputation, the Zheng family has not cared about the affairs of the court in the past few decades, only focusing on the development of the family itself, and it is not right to invest in the court's court struggle, and then it will fall to the back party, and the elders in the family will not agree.

Li Wei said again: "When I talk to you today, it will be beneficial to your family, and I have never expected you to support me. Even if you support me, how many important ministers does your Zheng family have in the court, and how many generals do you have in the army? ”

This is not all right, if the Zheng family supports it, it will still have a certain influence, but because the Zheng family is far away from the court, the influence cannot be too optimistic.

Father Zheng is a speechless again.

continued: "The reason why I came is because of Fang Cai's words, which is a win-win situation for everyone. The imperial court will not allow such powerful forces as you to wander outside the imperial court and not be controlled by the imperial court. Unless the country is ruled by the government and loses control over the local forces. But as your major families, if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached? As you said, your family's population has been swelling over the years, why? It is the stable development of the country. Enjoy the glory of the country, but do not fulfill the obligations, is there such a good thing in the world? ”

stood up and said, "Xingyang, it's my first time here, I'll inspect Xingyang for a day tomorrow, and I'll leave the day after tomorrow." Zheng Weng, please think again. ”

This is a euphemism, there is no result only tomorrow day, tomorrow night if I don't give an answer, I'm leaving. If you want to find me again in the future, there is no possibility.

Then take your leave.

The Zheng family's mansion is very large, and Li Wei's party is settled in the back garden of the Zheng family.

In August, the nights are not cold, but a little cool, and there are many tall trees and flowers in the garden, and a small stream flows through them. A couple of women talk in a gazebo in the garden. For the Zheng family, they all have curious thoughts. However, after coming, they were a little disappointed.

Li Lingyue kicked her little foot unconvinced: "It's just that, why can they despise our royal family?" Big brother, can you tell me the reason when you're back? ”

"Little sister, it's not like that, these families have a strict family style, just now I went to his house, and the collection in it is no less than the Chongwen Pavilion's nationality, and the rigorous family style makes them have a great influence on the people. This kind of family style, as well as resources, as well as Tibet, and many disciples, have made many talents emerge from generation to generation in these families. Take a look at how many of these great Confucians of these families have been invited by Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan and Guozijian as bachelors, and in the ...... of teaching" Speaking of this, he remembered one more thing. Imperial examination!

The imperial examination system at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the Sui Dynasty, and there were many places where it was ruthless and imperfect.

The biggest drawback is the two-supervisor system, and the talents admitted are mainly the two supervisors, but there are very few local talents. However, the two eunuchs recruited the children of famous families and meritorious descendants who were kind to the imperial court, especially the Guanlong nobles. This imperial examination system undoubtedly restricts the development of these top gate valves in Shandong.

In addition, these top gate valves have their own advantages, and they have enjoyed the glory brought to their family by the Jiupin Zhongzheng system for hundreds of years. The Tang Dynasty used the door shadow system and the imperial examination system to employ people, and these families themselves disdained to participate in the imperial examination with ordinary people.

If he popularized the imperial examination to all parts of the country, and these big families put down their bodies, what would be the situation, and they would undoubtedly be a male lion who woke up from sleep.

Thinking of this, he muttered, "It's going to be popular." ”

"Popularize what?"

"Nothing", Li Wei did not answer. The emergence of movable type and bamboo paper has reduced the cost of reading for the people, which is an opportunity for popularization. Before the rise of these families, so that a large number of people in the whole country can read it, this is the policy that benefits all the people. However, the system of the imperial court made Li Wei feel a headache, and the people were not allowed to set up schools privately, only state schools. This policy has become a moat in front of the common people.

Is it to bring it up with my mother after I go back.

The scandal in Wu Chenghe's manor was originally intended to transfer Wei Yuanzhong and several others back to Beijing, but if it was proposed to popularize the school, it must be supported by his mother.

Wei Yuanzhong's great opportunity to return to Beijing was missed.

Frowning and thinking, Wan'er didn't know, and asked, "Your Majesty, how did you talk to the Zheng family?" ”

"Everyone showed their hole cards, how about it, it won't be decided until tomorrow night." But he said politely: "Wan'er, back then, your mother and son were able to enter the Yeting Palace, which was stained with the glory of the Zheng family, but in the hearts of the Zheng family, it is nothing, they consider the long-term interests of the family." Not to mention that you are a foreign son, even if you are a close disciple in the family, I will not consider your safety and honor. ”

"Yes, the concubine will always be on His Majesty's side."

"Come and I'll chant a poem for you to listen to......", looking at the moon in the sky, the figures of the flowers and trees around him, listening to the insects singing, talking to the ancestor of the Zheng family tonight, he has been occupying the wind, Li Wei was in a good mood and said.

"Yes, yes." The women jumped for joy.

"Do you want the concubine to bring pen and ink?" Bi'er said.

"Whatever you want." Bring pen and ink, not groaning, but writing. After a while, I took the pen and ink, and when I heard that His Majesty was going to compose a poem, I came over curiously to watch it, along with a group of children of the Zheng family nearby. Li Wei didn't care, picked up the pen and wrote: Pity the moon tonight, where to go......

"This poem is presumptuous, and it can't be written unless Your Majesty." Seeing that the last sentence was written, Yun He gradually became like a hook, and a disciple of the Zheng family suddenly said.

Li Wei smiled and didn't answer.

It is not his credit, although he knows that because of his appearance, history has changed dramatically, and most of the famous poems and nouns that appear in later generations will not appear in this world, but he will not claim his own credit. In fact, most of the works that have been sung and worked over the years are their own real works, of course, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but there are many affairs, and no one cares.

Today I just got happy and plagiarized this one by the way.

Wan'er also said: "It's like "Tianwen". ”

Li Wei was in a good mood and said in a low voice: "Do you want to know the reason?" ”

"Think"

"Bring me the paint again."

I brought paint and drew a few pictures, which were the orbits of the sun and the earth and the moon, and as soon as a few paintings came out, they immediately explained most of the doubts in the original word. However, when the painting was finished, for fear of criticism, he immediately brought a tongue of fire and burned it.

"Your Majesty, is the earth round?" Wan'er and the others asked in surprise.

"I didn't say anything." Li Wei didn't answer, but attached it to Wan'er's ear and whispered: "You have seen my big map of the world, let me tell you, after that American continent, and a sea...... It was the Kingdom of the Franks. ”

Wan'er covered her little mouth.

A very clever little man, who can get to the Frankish kingdom from the west, has proven that it is also possible to get to the Frankish kingdom from the east, so it is not round...... Is it still square?

Li Lingyue wanted to ask for more answers, but Li Wei didn't answer.

After a while, he said, "Sleep, sleep." ”

Tonight, the Zheng family is sleepless.

After Li Wei left, several elders of the Zheng family, as well as important children, gathered together. Father Zheng told what had happened.

"How could the emperor be so tough?" A kid said unconvinced, this is too arrogant.

"No, you didn't understand what he meant. For our major families, Gaozu was recruited, but why was it recruited, the world was not peaceful at that time. In the hands of Taizong and the emperor, the world is calm, and our major families are like a fish in the throat, so they have been suppressing. Today's new emperor, who is quite good at civil and martial arts, wants him to compromise on our major families, it is impossible. ”

"So what?" A disciple said unconvinced again: "Don't forget, his position as the emperor has not yet been secured. ”

"Seventeen Lang, you're wrong. It's not that it's unstable, it's that the emperor doesn't want to have a change in Xuanwumen......", Zheng Lianshu said: "Walking along the way, how many talents and strategies the emperor has, I have seen with my own eyes." ”

The implication is that the Queen Mother is determined to fight for the emperor. As for Li Zhi, the Zheng family wisely excluded him.

Father Zheng slapped the table and quieted everyone down: "You haven't heard it yet, the emperor's attitude towards our major families must be tough, but he has repeatedly reminded him that as long as he assists the imperial court and is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, he will not be hostile, on the contrary, it seems that he is looking for a win-win move with us." This is different from Taizong and Gaozong. ”

Li Shimin and Li Zhi couldn't eat grapes, so they shouted sour, including Li Shimin, their attitudes were extremely unhealthy, so these families were related to each other, and they were not at fault, and they didn't dare to use forcible measures to suppress them, so they had to do it in the "Clan Chronicles". This is completely different from Li Wei's nature, although Li Wei's attitude seems to be tougher than Li Shimin and Li Zhi, but he said it very clearly, you are attached to the imperial court and governed by the imperial court, and I will look for benefits for your family, but as the people of the Tang Dynasty, you enjoy the glory brought by the Tang Dynasty, but you do not think about the country, although there is no fault, I can use other means to suppress and weaken you in disguise.

And found something useful.

I also made it clear that I don't need you to support me, and to talk to you for a win-win situation is for your good and for the good of the country.

Righteousness is in your hands.

Therefore, the hole cards in his hand were tough, and Zheng's father was choked many times.

The two sides showed their hole cards, Li Wei's cards were hard, and the Zheng family's cards were soft, that is, the Zheng family intended to join forces, and the emperor's attitude was ambiguous, and everyone in the Zheng family in the hall couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

Suddenly, Zheng Qing, the younger member of the Zheng family, ran in, and it was the disciple of the Zheng family who praised Li Wei for "writing" the poem "Magnolia Slow". He said, "Grandfather, grandfather, grandson just saw in the garden that His Majesty composed a poem. ”

I have a good memory and read it out.

Dozens of elders of the Zheng family were indifferent, the new emperor wrote poems well, he became famous very early, and he wrote a good poem, what was the fuss.

But Zheng Qing didn't focus on this, and said: "He said that the earth is round. ”

I have a good memory, and I actually redrew the paintings that Li Wei painted just now. Originally, these big families have a long history, and they are also Xiangmendi, and since ancient times, they are all the sayings that the local sky is round, so Li Wei's statement made Zheng Qing feel deviant. But after thinking about it, I felt that it made sense, so I hurriedly reported it.

"How is that possible?" Several gray-haired old men said in unison.

This is not a place where the sky is round or the earth is round and the sky is square, although it is not as afraid as the medieval European religions, for the current Tang Dynasty, once this statement spreads, it will not cause controversy

Father Zheng thought for a while and said, "I'll ask." "To be continued
