Chapter 188: Changes in the Court (Part II)

The rising sun shows off the soft golden light of the debut, rendering the majestic Tai Chi Hall into extraordinarily majestic and dignified, the closer it gets, the more pressing the solemnity that comes to the face, and there is an impulse that makes people want to bow and worship, although Li Zhen has long been accustomed to the court, and has long lost the feeling of freshness and expectation, but at this time walking on the official road, Li Zhen's mood is still a little nervous, yes, it is nervous, without him, this early dynasty is different from the past, it is the beginning of the prologue to seize the heir, once it starts, it can no longer stop, It is impossible to turn back, there is no advance or retreat, victory and defeat, there is no possibility of turning around, Rao is Li Zhen is calm, and at this time, he still can't help but be excited, almost difficult to himself.

That's it, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, gamble! After stepping on the steps of the Taiji Hall with the crowd, Li Zhen paused slightly, looked up at the plaque at the entrance of the main hall, took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, smiled at himself, put the feelings of gain and loss behind, and strode into the main hall.

Perhaps he had already expected the unusualness of today's early dynasty, or perhaps he thought of the father-son fight, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, Li Shimin did not appear in the main hall early as usual, but let the Manchu civil and military wait in the main hall for nearly half an hour, or even without a notice.

"The emperor has arrived!" Just when the ministers were waiting anxiously and whispering, a sharp eunuch's voice sounded, and a group of eunuchs surrounded Li Shimin and turned out of the apse.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" As soon as they saw that Li Shimin had finally come out, the civil and military officials were busy gathering their minds, kneeling on the ground, and shouting long live.

Li Shimin strode to the dragon chair in the center of the hall and sat down, raised his hand with a calm face and said, "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thanked them according to the usual practice, and each got up and stood up, but at this moment, Li Shimin did not wait for the ministers to come out as usual, but took the lead in naming him: "Li Zhen." ”

What? What does the old man want to do? As soon as Li Zhen heard that the old man was the first to call his head, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out which play the old man was singing, but since the old man opened his mouth, Li Zhen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly strode out of the clan queue, knelt down on the ground and said: "The son knocks on his father." ”

Li Shimin didn't call out, but glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, and asked very plainly: "You have been preparing for the martial arts since you received the decree, and it has been more than three months now, can you have a charter now?" ”

Well? What's going on? Why did the old man suddenly ask about this? Er, isn't it planning to set the tone for today's early dynasty? Could it be that the old man tried to avoid the scandal in the inner court that the ministers had spoken about? Li Zhen was suspicious in his heart, but his face was as calm as before, and he kowtowed respectfully and said: "Back to my father, my sons have not dared to slack off in the slightest since they received the decree. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it, I'll listen." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

Damn, the old man is really planning to set the tone of the court, damn, no way! When Li Zhen heard this, he suddenly felt a little angry in his heart - bringing down the Hu family's uncle and nephew was of course cutting off Li Tai's minions in the palace, but that was just the beginning, Li Zhen's real intention was to deal with the eldest grandson Wuji, if the scandal in the inner court was diluted, wouldn't Li Zhen's previous arrangements all fall into the void? The problem is that the old man has already spoken, and if he doesn't answer, he can't do it, but Li Zhen is depressed, and in desperation, he has to quickly sort out his thoughts, and slowly speaks: "Father Emperor Mingjian, Erchen thinks that the martial arts department is an important supplement to my Tang Dynasty reserve generals, and it is not rash, therefore, the sons will divide the martial arts into two categories: the main department and the peerless department. Wu Zi and "Gu Di Zhi" are the seven classics of martial arts, which are the categories of the examination, and the winners enter the sand table deduction, based on the examples of the past dynasties, and the winners of the strategy enter the last game, which is the school competition, with the first place in the total ranking of the three games as the champion, the two are the eyes, the three are the flowers, and the rest of the rankings are the same as the imperial examination, and those above the martial arts can enter the Tang Army as an official; In addition to this, there is also a peerless department, which is intended to select although the text is poor, but the martial arts are outstanding, do not test the strategy, only with martial arts, divided into two subjects of bow horse and school competition, the winner is also the same as the main department, the difference is that the main branch is a big competition in three years, the peerless branch is Enke, when it is held by the Holy Judge. ”

"Wuke is also divided into three levels of state test, road test, and palace test, the winner of the state test is Wu Xiucai, the winner of the road test is Wuju, and the winner of the palace test is Wujinshi. The states, the province of the test of Wu Xiucai, the number of martial arts according to the population count is different, the palace test is only to take the Wu Jinshi 36, champion, Bangyan, Tanhua for the first class, the following to the tenth for the second class, followed by the third class, the Wu Jinshi in the selection of the Ministry of War has the qualifications to elect officials, by the Ministry of War selection of vacant positions, and by the Ministry of Officials audit, the father of the emperor's permission, and then can be successful, the examiner of each subject in the capital of the big than the emperor by the father of the emperor, to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites of the officials to serve, the state test, the provincial examination by the corresponding officials of the state, the province presided over, The imperial court sent inspectors to ensure fair selection, and the imperial historians of each province supervised the selection process of martial arts to prevent the risk of fraud. This charter was jointly drafted by the sons and Li Shangshu, and the father and emperor were expected to see it. ”

Li Zhen talked freely, the idea of the entire martial arts department and the plate out, although most of them are borrowed from the content of the later generations of martial arts, but there are still a lot of their own things, after all, the Tang Dynasty is extremely prosperous at this time, but there are not many literate martial artists, the whole peerless science can be regarded as giving those martial artists who are from a slight background and can not read a chance to get ahead, Li Zhen's things are not very peculiar to future generations, but for the Tang Dynasty at this time, it is an epoch-making idea, unprecedented innovation, What is even more rare is that Li Zhen's words are clear and coherent, and there are no loopholes left at all, which can be regarded as the words of the old Cheng to seek the country, and when Li Zhen finishes his answer, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are first solemn, and then the voice of the whispering is loud - although Li Zhen's martial arts are feasible, but they violate the unspoken rules of the court, after all, most of the civil officials and military generals are hereditary now, and there are very few officials from the imperial examination, and they are basically low-level officials, and they are not even qualified to participate in the court discussion, Li Zhen's method is really implemented, The hereditary road of the nobles in the court will inevitably have a great impact, but because Li Zhen's prestige in the army is extremely high and the selfishness of the courtiers is difficult to put on the table, it is really difficult to refute it in court, so it can only be exchanged views in private.

"What do you think about this?" Li Shimin didn't expect Li Zhen to be able to sort out the charter to such a detailed point in just over three months, and he was full of praise in his heart, but he didn't say anything about it, but looked around at the courtiers who were talking about it, and asked very calmly.

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the civil and military officials, who were originally discussing themselves, quieted down, and everyone kept silent, and no one came forward to question Li Zhen for a while, and the hall was a little weird.

Others are not in a hurry, but Li Taike, the king of Wei, is a little anxious - at this time when the battle for the heir is about to be in full swing, if Li Zhen is really allowed to do this, the prestige is so high that he is afraid that he will not be able to catch up, but the trouble is that when he proposed the martial arts, Li Tai himself was one of the initiators, and if he wanted to oppose it at this time, he couldn't say anything reasonable, besides, with his own ability, he really couldn't find any loopholes from the charter that Li Zhen said, but in his heart he was unwilling to let Li Zhen get such a big prize, and in desperation, can only secretly and desperately gesture to his henchmen on one side, so that everyone can come forward to question this charter.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although what His Royal Highness King Yue said is reasonable, however, there are really inappropriate things in it, first, my Tang Dynasty has been repeatedly warned, and there are countless famous generals. Second, according to the regulations of His Royal Highness the King of Yue, pawn traders can also participate in martial arts. Third, the people who have not been in the battle formation suddenly occupy a high position, and it may be difficult to be able to do their jobs, don't you hear that Zhao Kuo talked about the burial of 400,000 Zhao soldiers on paper back then? Therefore, the old minister thought that it was appropriate to postpone the matter. In the midst of an awkward silence, Wei Ting, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, stood up and said freely.

Wei Ting, a native of Yongzhou Wannian, the son of Wei Chong, the Shangshu of the Sui Minbu, and Li Jiancheng is a friend of the general horn, was Li Jiancheng's henchman, after the change of Xuanwumen, he was demoted to Lingnan, and then returned to Beijing in the early years of Zhenguan to serve as the lord Langzhong, and then moved to Shangshu Youcheng, and moved to Huangmen Shilang, whose daughter is the concubine of the deceased Qi King Li Youzhi, but he is not a person of Li You's line, but an important confidant of Li Tai, the king of Wei.

Damn, the fourth guy just can't hold his breath, damn it, this time he was led by the nose by the old man, damn it! As soon as Li Zhen saw Wei Ting jump out, his heart suddenly became angry, at this time, how could Li Zhen not see what the old man's intentions were, and the left and right were just to avoid the topics in the palace, inducing Li Tai to make the first move, causing the situation of confrontation between the two kings, so as to firmly grasp the initiative in his own hands.

If you want to solve the current situation, there is only one way left in front of Li Zhen - a quick battle, send the topic of martial arts as soon as possible, and leave enough time for Li Ke, the king of Wu, to launch an offensive.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks what Wei Shilang said is extremely true."

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be taken seriously."

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Wei Shilang's words, this martial act seems to be beneficial to the country on the surface, but in fact it is harmful to the morale of the army, and it must not be ignored, and it needs to be studied and judged in detail."

……

As Li Zhen expected, as soon as Wei Ting spoke out, the courtiers of the first line of the Wei Wangfu immediately stood up a large group, among which the important ministers such as Du Zhenglun and Qin Wenwen were extraordinary, and at the end, those who were not from the Wei Wang's family also came out one after another to express their opposition to the implementation of martial arts, but most of them were civilian officials, and there were only a few veterans such as Duan Zhixuan.

A group of old ministers are not very new, and the left and right are just the theory of the door valve, which makes Li Shimin feel a little disappointed - although Li Shimin was born in a powerful family and is the son of heaven, but in his heart, he is not a very serious person, in fact, Li Shimin is extremely disgusted by the family gate, otherwise he would not have ordered Li Ke, the king of Wu, to rebuild the "Clan Chronicles", moreover, there are many military generals in the DPRK today, but most of them are veterans over fifty years old, As for the young generals who can really be put on the table, there are only a few people such as Li Zhen and Qin Huaiyu, who can be counted with one hand, or the vanguard officer who selected and conscripted Xue Yantuo's army would not need to come to the school to compete, in Li Shimin's view, Li Zhen's recital can just solve the current situation of the lack of generals, but now the ministers are opposed, and secondly, Li Shimin also has other considerations, so Li Shimin did not open his mouth to support Li Zhen, but after being silent for a while, Only then did he look at Li Zhen, who was kneeling down in front of the hall, and said, "Zhen'er, what is your explanation for the opinions of the ministers?" ”

Interpretation? Hehe, what an explanation! That's not the end of the explanation! By now, Li Zhen has completely understood the old man's intentions in his heart, whether Li Zhen explains it or not, he is on the right side with Li Tai, the king of Wei, and they have already torn their faces with each other, and there is not much room for relaxation - according to the private agreement between Li Zhen and Li Ke, this morning dynasty only planned to bring down the Hu family's uncle and nephew, and did not intend to completely tear his face with the king of Wei, and he did not even plan to raise a dispute after the establishment. But I never wanted to be inserted into the old man's horizontal line, the whole plan was almost on the verge of collapse, and the evil fire in my heart was said to be very big, but in front of the old man, how could there be room for Li Zhen to attack, helpless, Li Zhen could only frown slightly, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Father Emperor Mingjian, Wei Shilang's words are just sour Confucian opinions, Zhao Kuo, the dog of the tiger father, is only worthy of sitting and talking, and it is just a soft-footed crab in battle, not worth mentioning, the reason why it can suddenly occupy a high position, Left and right are just relying on the fame of his father, what is the difference with hereditary? If such a person participates in martial arts, he can't pass the martial arts, how can he talk about being able to lead more than 400,000 soldiers? Therefore, the sons thought that the strength of the martial arts should be better than those incompetent shadow attackers, and this is one of them; Second, the ancients said: Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, and now my Tang Dynasty is a repeated battle, but there are many people who are good at fighting, and there are few people who can use military strategies, and all the old generals are old, if there is no martial arts, where do the reserve talents come from? If there is a misfortune, where is the face of Datang? As for the origin, it is even more ridiculous, don't you hear that Fan Xu is a slaughtering dog, Liu Bei is just a child who sells a seat, there are countless people from humble backgrounds among the ancient and modern famous generals, even if they are afraid of this dynasty, there are a lot, if according to what Wei Shilang said, shouldn't these famous generals slaughter dogs and sell banquets for a lifetime? Such unenterprising words, please forgive the sons and daughters for disagreeing! ”

Li Zhen's words were extremely unpolite, which was equivalent to slapping a big ear scraper on the faces of all the courtiers who came out, not saying anything, and it hurt tightly.

Li Zhen is calm by nature, rarely in the court, there are many prevarications, few take the initiative to reach out, one hand Tai Chi kung fu to play superb, never easily quarrel with people, this is the first time to say such a tirade in public, the words are pressing, the words are sharp, very different from his past behavior, such a faction not only the courtiers for the side, is Li Shimin also dumbfounded, stunned Li Zhen, for a while forgot to speak, after a long time, seeing that all the courtiers no longer spoke, Li Shimin's eyes flashed a trace of color, waved his hand and said, "Do you Aiqing still have any questions?" ”

There are naturally some incomprehensible points, and there are many people in the palace who are not convinced, but at this time, seeing that Li Zhen is so sharp-toothed, he does not leave people with the slightest affection, how can anyone be willing to step forward to offend Li Zhen in vain, besides, even if the ministers who have the heart to step forward to theorize want to find fault with Li Zhen's words, it is not easy to find fault with it, and the big guy will not be able to do it for a while, and the scene immediately became cold, at this moment, there was a person in the clan queue, but it was Li Zhi, the king of Jin, but seeing Li Zhi walking a few steps in a hurry, knelt down beside Li Zhen and said in a trembling voice: "Enlighten the father, the son thinks that what the starling brother said is very true, this is a major matter for the benefit of the country, and the son asks the father for his permission." ”

Old Nine? Damn, when did this kid become so bold? When Li Zhen saw that it was Li Zhi who stood up to support him, not only was he not happy, but he became suspicious, and then remembered that Li Zhi had said that the old man wanted him to start the early dynasty from now on, and a sense of foreboding immediately came to his heart.

Sure enough, as Li Zhen expected, as soon as Li Zhi spoke, Li Shimin immediately nodded approvingly and said, "The pheasant slave said well, this fold is accurate." When the old man said this, he paused, and then continued: "Pheasant slave, you are not young anymore, it's time to experience it, and then, the matter on this fold will be handed over to you to handle it, if there is anything unclear, discuss one or two more with your starling." ”

What the? No way! You dead old man, this is the idea that you dare to fight all the time, damn, Lao Tzu planted trees, Lao Jiu picked peaches, isn't this a clear bully! When Li Zhen heard this, his mind suddenly buzzed, and he almost exploded, but fortunately, the city was deep, and he endured it, knelt there silently, and didn't say anything, but Li Zhi kowtowed his head with a look of sincere fear: "Father Mingjian, the child has never experienced government affairs, I am afraid that there will be negligence, or please the starling to be the master, and the son is willing to assist the starling to achieve this big thing." ”

"No one is born with the ability to do things, can't you learn it, that's good, if you don't understand, you can come and ask me, you can also ask Situ, that's it." Li Shimin waved his hand disappreciatively.

"This ......" Li Zhi hesitated slightly, looked at Li Zhen and didn't dare to speak.

Damn, Lao Jiu, this bastard has to be a bitch, but also set up a chastity archway, dog's day! Li Zhen's heart was crooked, but she couldn't have a seizure, so she could only smile and nodded: "Pheasant slave don't worry, if there is any difficulty, my brother will definitely support it fully." ”

Li Zhi saw Li Zhen's expression, so he kowtowed to Li Shimin as if he was relieved and said, "The son of the minister has received the decree, thank you father Emperor Longen." ”

"Well, you and the other brothers should work together to handle this matter well, and go down." Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand, signaling the two brothers to retreat.

Damn, it's a loss, if you can't get it back later, I'll lose a lot! Li Zhen's flesh hurt very much, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only kowtow honestly and retreat to the side without mentioning it, but at this moment, Yao Peng, the superintendent of the imperial history, suddenly walked out of the civil official queue and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen has this chapter here!" ”

Good! It's finally here! As soon as he saw Yao Peng stand up, Li Zhen immediately perked up, and his eyes flashed with anticipation......
