"Gao Yang, you play by yourself, I have something to discuss with your brother Qin. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Shimin stroked his daughter's black satin-like hair, a trace of doting flashed on his face, and said: "Wait a minute, my father will play with you again!" ”

Li Shimin is a qualified emperor, but he is definitely not a qualified father, although he tries to find time to spend with his children, but every time he has fun, there are always one thing or another interference, which makes him lose his trust in his children again and again.

"Liar!" Princess Gaoyang stretched her face and rebuked mercilessly: "Father is a liar, a big liar!" The voice was soft and sweet, but it contained great anger. However, as a royal child, her mind is precocious than that of ordinary children, Princess Gaoyang was annoyed in her heart, and accused Li Shimin of dishonesty, but her small body turned into a happy butterfly and jumped away.

"Let's go! Let's go to the study. Li Shimin's face was filled with a high-spirited look!

Qin Feng is indescribable. Hurry up to keep up with Li Shimin, who is walking like a fly.

"Well, what's going on?" Qin Feng stared at Li Shimin inexplicably, could it be that he escaped this catastrophe?

"Hey, hey!" In front of Qin Feng, Li Shimin took off the mask of the emperor, walked a few circles, and said loudly: "You have helped me solve another big problem. ”

"Is there one?"

"Yes!" Li Shimin had a smile on his face, since he chatted with Qin Feng, every time he talked to him, almost every time he had unexpected surprises. Over time, as long as the other party to talk to is Qin Feng, his mood will be happy for no reason, and he will guess what good things will happen in his mind.

"The people you said have human nature, wolves have wolf nature, and fish have fish nature, which makes me more at ease about the imperial examination."

Li Shimin spoke quickly, which showed that his heart was not calm, so he continued: "Do you know? Since the promulgation of the decree to reopen the imperial examination, I have always been nervous in my heart, and I do not know whether the reopening of the imperial examination is good or bad. Just because the imperial examination does open the door to the world's Han scholars to engage in politics, it is still the scholars who can benefit the most, after all, the gap between the two is there, with the imperial examination, the scholars can justifiably occupy the official positions of various positions, and over time, the whole world will be in the hands of the scholars, in this case, the emperor has become an ornament, and has become a puppet who has ordered not to leave the capital. The imperial examination will only allow the scholars to change their way of becoming officials, and I can't say anything yet, because the imperial examination will be re-held with my support. As the king of a country, the first jealousy goes back on his word, and all the consequences can only be borne by me. ”

"I hurt you! If it weren't for my encouragement, I would ......" Qin Feng also broke out in a cold sweat, he took it for granted. Even if there is an encyclopedia competition and a selection competition! But in the end, aren't those who can become big officials still those who read?

An honest and good farmer can be illiterate, because he can increase grain production with experience, and he can teach others by hand. But can he manage a side of the people?

In the same way, the Yin and Yang family looks at Feng Shui at a first-class level, and you let a person who goes out to see the auspicious days of the zodiac become an official; What is the difference between letting the world go haywire?

After Li Shimin said this, Qin Feng was like sitting on pins and needles, sweat falling drop by drop, and when he thought of the scene of the Tujia controlling the world, his heart fell straight into the ice cave.

Did you harm the wise and martial Li Shimin?

The imperial examination, not only did not restrain the scholars, but also gave them a chance to rise.

The reason why the scholars are strong is inseparable from their knowledge and origins. The children of the scholar clan, even if they are ordinary ordinary people, they all have thousands of books handed down by the family for them to read, and there is a private school for them to study, and they can study without worrying about food and clothing, and increase their talents and learning with the knowledge in the books, while the children of the poor family can neither afford books nor paper, and at the same time have to run for life, even if they are geniuses who are unique in ten thousand, how can their knowledge compare with the scholars?

Just like the school, the Tuas clan is a production base for talents. In the face of these talents, Li Shimin does not want to use them, although at least four or five out of ten of these people from the big families can become practical officials, but their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is far lower than their loyalty to their own family. This is unacceptable to Li Shimin, but he can't do without it for the sake of Datang.

And once the imperial examination rises, Li Shimin, who has clear rewards and punishments, has no reason to reject these people, and if a generation of emperors loses their trust, something big will happen.

At this time, Qin Feng suddenly realized!

finally understood that since the promulgation of the imperial examination, the scholars have collectively lost their voices. It turned out that they saw the benefits brought to them by the imperial examination, so they did not oppose it, and even used the power of their family to fuel the fire.

"What should I do?" Qin Feng didn't notice that his voice trembled a little.

A cold light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said, "Some time ago, I couldn't help it. But what you said about human nature, wolf nature, and fish nature made me think of a way to resolve this crisis. ”

Qin Feng hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

Li Shimin didn't answer, and said to himself: "The characteristics of the scholars are knowledgeable, an ordinary event, they can write like Han Fu, and they can write in a flowery and stable manner!" At this point, the poor scholar is absolutely out of reach. Since the establishment and implementation of the imperial examination, the examination questions have all catered to the scholars. Therefore, in the period of the previous dynasty, the imperial examination not only did not achieve the purpose of weakening the scholars, but also became the main culprit in promoting the growth of the scholars. ”

Qin Feng suddenly realized: "You mean, we can write articles on the test questions?" ”

"That's right!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Since I understand the habits and characteristics of the scholars, how can I be stupid and ask the question like Emperor Wen of the pre-school dynasty?" I take officials who can really think about the people and do things for the people, not people who talk all day long! Hehe, there are enough pretentious, high-eyed, and incompetent people, and I am upset when I look at it. ”

Officials who can benefit the people are good officials, and they are also the officials that the people need. Those who are officials only need to have the ability to govern one side, and it doesn't matter whether the article is good or not. For example, Kong Yingda's literary attainments can throw Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui off a few streets, but if the people are asked to choose who will be their parents, they will definitely choose Fang Du, who is based on reality, instead of Kong Yingda, who is full of literary talents. Because the doer is the official that the people need, the article cannot be used as food or clothing, and no matter how well it is written, it is not as important as a grain of rice in the eyes of the people.

Literature and art are playthings that decorate the joy of life, and they are dispensable.

But if you skip a meal, you'll be hungry.

"Empty talk misleads the country, don't do it!"

Qin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "For the heart of the Anshi clan, articles, poems and so on can be kept!" However, the content of the test must be increased and diversified, and in the end, the total score will be used to win or lose! ”

Li Shimin's expression was ever-changing, but a pair of eyes gradually brightened, slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "I know how to solve the problem, for example: why is the sky dry and raining; Why flood disasters, how to solve floods, and how to minimize losses; Another example is why the Qin Dynasty died in two lifetimes; When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu in the north, he obviously won a big victory, why did he lose his national strength; Why did Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goryeo return with great defeats every time? The construction of the canal is obviously a good thing for the present and for the future, but why should people in the world oppose Yang Guang......"

Li Shimin said a lot of reasons that are close to reality and life in one breath, and Qin Feng also secretly admired: it is worthy of saying "Jun, Zhouye; people, water also; Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat", the emperor of this eternal aphorism, really thinks about the country and the people everywhere.

When Li Shimin was about to continue to talk, Qin Feng said with a forked mouth: "Don't say so much why, I signed up to participate in the Wenju and Wuju!" If you continue to talk about it, you will leak the topic. ”

The first civil and military champion of the Tang Dynasty! Who doesn't get excited?

Qin Feng reported the second branch of civil and military affairs at the same time, staring at the unique title with ambition.

Li Shimin was stunned and said, "You signed up?" When was this? ”

Li Shimin was a big surprise: Qin Feng became famous as a young man, both civil and military, and he became the chief general of the first army at the age of sixteen, which can also be said to be unprecedented, and his future is bright. He participated in the civil and military affairs, even if he was the first in both places, his official position would not be higher than now. Suddenly, the wise and martial Li Shimin's mind was a little messy, and he couldn't figure out what he had in mind.

"When you promulgated the opening of the department, it coincided with the northward movement of the Tiger Ben Army, so I entrusted my eldest brother to sign up on my behalf, not only me, but also Luo Tong, Li Yexu, Cheng Chumo, and Wei Chi Baoqing, but they only reported martial arts."

Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh: "Which one are you playing?" ”

"There are three purposes!"

Qin Feng stretched out three fingers and said, "First, you will be a hero in the world and test your ability; second, to win glory for the family and the emperor; Third, shut up those guys who call me a coward and eat soft rice. ”

"I will be a hero in the world, win glory for the family, and keep people shut, I understand; But what does it have to do with me? ”

Qin Feng was calm, smiled calmly, and said, "Since the establishment of the imperial examination, can there be people from the royal family involved?" Can a colt participate? If I win the championship in Wenju, what will the world say? ”

"Naturally, the royal family is full of talents!"

The Li family seized the world by force, and some people mistakenly thought that the Li family was a big family full of muscles, and there was no shortage of talents for the children of the royal family, but in order to avoid suspicion, they could not participate in the exam. Qin Feng is different, he is not only Qin Qiong's son, but also the concubine of Princess Changle, half of the royal family, he participated in the exam for the long face of the Qin family, and also for the royal family.

Once he wins the championship in Wenju, not only can he give the Qin family a long face, but the Li family will also be honored.

Li Shimin said happily: "Datang is rich in resources and talents!" Wuju is a real fight with real swords and guns, you can be careful! I still need you to work hard for Datang for the rest of your life! ”

"For a lifetime?" Qin Feng's face turned green.

Li Shimin's face sank, and he feigned anger: "What? Could it be that you don't want to play for Datang? ”

"Potency is for sure! But it doesn't have to be a lifetime! ”

Qin Feng defended: "When people are old, their physical strength, intelligence, and energy can't keep up with the changes of the times, and people are easy to be confused when they get old!" Ordinary people are better, and being confused will affect a family at most. However, if an official makes a mistake, it affects not only a family, but also a person who has been in charge of his official position for a long time, which has many drawbacks: first, it blocks the opportunity for young people to advance; Second, when people get older, they will become rigid and self-serving, and they will be too obsessed with their past achievements, but they will not see that the world is changing, and the people's hearts are changing, and the final result is to mislead the country and the people. I have already thought about it, when I am fifty years old, I will put down all my duties, stay at home and teach my children with peace of mind, and accompany the next generation of successors for the family of Datang, a country and a family need a long-term inheritance, the only way is to give young people more opportunities to exercise, and the older generation will check for them, and can correct their mistakes in time, in the long run, young people will one day stand out, it doesn't matter if I have no self, and the day I die, my family will not be chaotic and decline. Life is short, just those decades, my life plan is to spend thirty or forty years to serve the country, and the days after that are my own, when the time comes, I can accompany Changle to travel the world, take a look at the magnificent rivers and mountains of our Tang Dynasty, such a life is a life without regrets. ”

Li Shimin was thoughtful and speechless for a long time.
