Chapter 157: Who Started the Fire

As soon as she heard that the two systems of line papers and public recommendation were to be abolished, Empress Changsun knew why her husband was so angry.

When Lu Heng said that everything had to be changed, her heart was already cold.

After a long silence.

Empress Eldest Sun said slowly:

"What you said is completely different from today's imperial examinations, and it is bound to be greatly hindered."

"The current imperial examination is the Sui system, and the people of the world have been accustomed to it for hundreds of years, and there is no reason why it is unjustifiable if it changes suddenly."

"Lu Heng, you have to explain it clearly and methodically before you can let Your Majesty think about it."

Compared with Li Shimin, her temperament is much gentler.

Therefore, although she knew that there was basically no possibility of implementing this matter, Empress Eldest Sun still chose to give Lu Heng a chance to finish speaking.

With her by his side, His Majesty Li Er was not so angry.

He nodded with a dark face:

"The queen is right, Lu Heng, you have ideas to say, but you can't propose without evidence."

"Even if those imperial historians are not involved, there must be a reason!"

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Mingyu next to him.

Obviously, his future daughter-in-law was very worried about him, so that her eyes were about to give up Mars.

I can't wait to cover my mouth directly, so that he doesn't talk nonsense!

Lu Heng sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said:

"Your Majesty, since the imperial examination was created by the Sui and is only a hundred years ago, there must be many shortcomings in it."

"After so many years, the drawbacks have appeared, but no one wants to revise them."

"The disadvantages for the imperial court are only good and not bad for the wealthy families, they are in the court, of course they are not willing to change!"

"The biggest drawback is that it's unfair!"

Li Shimin nodded first, and then shook his head.

He said coldly:

"You said that there were drawbacks to the imperial examination, and I admit it. No system is perfect. ”

"But it's not fair to say it'......"

"Compared to Wei Jin's Jiupin Zhongzheng, it is already very fair!"

"A few hundred years ago, only those big families were able to enter the court as officials, but now that I have provided a way for ordinary people, what else?"

Lu Heng almost wanted to laugh.

The so-called way to provide ordinary people is that everyone can take the imperial examination?

Then don't look at how high the threshold is!

"Children from poor families can't afford to buy books and go to school, and private school teachers can't afford to pay their shackles, all of which are put aside."

"But apart from Guanzhong, where do you get to Chang'an to take the exam and don't need money?"

"Let's just say Jiangnan, coming from over there, you have to hire carriages and horses, accommodation, food, everything costs money, and it is easy to spend dozens of taels of silver along the way."

"Of course, if you want to say that they can walk on their legs, the minister really has nothing to say."

When Lu Heng said this, he saw that Li Shimin's face had darkened again.

But he didn't plan to stop.

After a pause, he continued:

"The minister has already understood, even if the distance is long and expensive, this is still a small head."

"The big expense is outside the imperial examination!"

"The reason why we proposed to cancel the row papers and public recommendations is because it is simply impossible for ordinary families."

"Have the ability to have channels to contact the literary world and a big party, and can hand in their works for them to taste and recommend, even if it is a minister's family conditions!"

"Oh, the purpose of the papers and public recommendations is to prevent outstanding students from falling off the list due to mistakes, what about the people who have studied hard for decades? Why did they lose so many points because of other people's mistakes?! ”

"And because of the papers and public recommendations, the imperial examination should be open and transparent, so the examiners care more about what those big people think of themselves."

"How many of the so-called literary names are not from a family?"

"Doing this is nothing more than the protection of officials and officials!"

After these words, everyone present fell silent.

They never expected that Lu Heng's courage would be so big.

For the children of the family, the imperial examination is easier than that of ordinary people, this is already common knowledge for everyone.

But no one thinks that there is anything wrong with these children of the family, after all, their ancestors have made great efforts to get these.

At court one hand will wash the other?

Officialdom is full of sophistication!

Seeing that everyone's faces were not very good-looking, Lu Heng felt puzzled in his heart.

"Your Majesty, didn't you think that the five surnames and seven hopes were too much, and you also wanted to suppress their arrogance?"

"Aren't these questions raised by the minister exactly what you want to see?"

Li Shimin really has no choice but to take this fool.

He couldn't even say that Lu Heng did it on purpose, because this young man really felt that he was justified!

“…… I really want to weaken the family, but you can't mess around like this! ”

His Majesty Li Er was rarely helpless:

"You all know that such a change is suppressing the family, so can the people from the family in the court agree?"

"You don't want to die?"

"It's bold!"

Everyone present knew very well that if the imperial examination system was changed to such a way immediately, even if only the line papers and public recommendations were abolished, it would cause huge opposition!

This not only affected the five surnames and seven hopes.

but the interests of all the powerful and powerful!

What if this gets out......

Before he could even wait for the execution, Lu Heng would be assassinated in a steady stream.

In a sense, His Majesty Li Er said that he didn't want to die, and he was indeed not wrong.

In the darkness of the night.

The brightly lit Tai Chi Hall suddenly fell into a long silence.

At this time, Lu Heng finally realized one thing-

A powerful half-founding lord like Li Shimin, an immediate emperor, with great military achievements, also has things he is afraid of.

He wanted the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, but he didn't dare to raise a butcher's knife against the family in a big way.

Because there are too many.

You can't cut it at all, and even if you're not careful, it's very likely to overturn!

Just like the previous Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The change of dynasty is only in the thoughts of the powerful people of the family, turning their hands into clouds and covering their hands into rain.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin is still in a relatively careful exploration stage.

He doesn't know where the family's bottom line is, so he can't move its roots so arrogantly for the time being.

Lu Heng is now like playing a live-action version of the script killing, or the kind of hardcore reasoning.

Although he already knew in advance that the outcome was that His Majesty Li Er became the Heavenly Khan of the Four Seas and created the rule of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's own ability was enough to suppress the family.

But His Majesty Li Er doesn't know it!

Half a day.

Lu Heng also sighed.

"So be it, Your Majesty."

"Can we pilot it in Chang'an City first?"

"You can use both the line paper and the public recommendation, but the only requirement is to be vague."

"When marking the papers, paste the names of the candidates, copy them by a special person, and then hand them over to the examiner."

"Isn't it the same when the correction is finished and the results are out, and then the extra points are added?"
