Chapter 227: Are We Going to Follow the Old Path of the Sui Dynasty?
The ministers had just returned to the mansion and had not rested for long.
There was news from the court, and His Majesty asked them to go to the Taiji Palace.
The group put on their clothes and rushed to the palace without stopping, and came to the Taiji Hall, ready to pay homage to His Majesty!
I'll make up.
There were more and more people seeing this hall, more and more, and the county commander only felt a galloping horse in his heart.
Among these people, I have seen a few, such as Lord Du, Lord Fang, and Lord Wei Zhengwei.
And the rest of the adults, one by one, have only watched from a distance before, who knew that today they can get together to discuss, this is simply wonderful.
Until everyone gathered, Li Er counted the heads, no more, no less, just right.
"Alright, the people who should have come have already arrived!"
"I'll see Your Majesty!"
Everyone saluted together.
I love and love, I never thought that one day in the future, my old Song will be able to deal with these kings and grandsons of His Majesty in this Taiji Palace.
If this is blown out, it will be enough to blow it for a long time.
And this stranger standing next to the eldest grandson Wuji, how many people know each other, but is there something wrong with this county commander coming here today?
The rest of the people didn't know about it, so they had to look at it with a puzzled expression.
Could it be that what His Majesty said today has something to do with him?
"I have called you all here today because I have a big matter to discuss with you.
If this matter is not handled well, my Tang Dynasty will meet each other, and the end of the Sui Dynasty will be repeated. ”
Ah, this?
After hearing this, the doubts on the faces of the ministers gradually intensified.
They know Your Majesty, and they have followed Your Majesty to fight in the east and west for so long, but they have never seen Your Majesty's expression so heavy, and what he said like this, is it possible, what big thing is going to happen to my Datang?
"Your Majesty, I wonder what Your Majesty said?
I also ask Your Majesty to say that we as courtiers should give advice to Your Majesty. ”
Li Er glanced at everyone and didn't say it immediately.
I saw that he thought for a moment and threw out the same question that the virtuous brother in Zhaojiazhuang asked.
"No, what do you think of the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty?
What is his merit and demerits, I hope you can evaluate it truthfully this time. ”
"Your Majesty."
After hearing His Majesty's question, the ministers began to fall into deep thought.
Those of them who were ministers came from the Sui Dynasty.
Including many of their fathers, they served in the ranks of officials of the Sui Dynasty.
Even there were many people in them, and they were not big or small officials during the Sui Dynasty.
Although now that the Sui Dynasty has fallen, they will definitely not be able to evaluate the good of others.
But to evaluate any person, don't say it's an emperor, even if it's an ordinary person, the big guy also understands that a person can't be all shortcomings and has no advantages.
However, because of his identity as Emperor Yang of Sui, both in the official and among the people, he was evaluated as a dumb monarch.
In fact, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, even emperors.
Hearing His Majesty's words today, the ministers began to think about it.
Since Your Majesty said so today, you must make a rational evaluation, and there are merits and faults.
After thinking for a moment, Li Er asked.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you thought about it?
This time, I want not only his fault, but also his credit. ”
"Your Majesty."
"Auxiliary, it's up to you to say it first."
The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and thought for a moment and said his thoughts.
Now with His Majesty's words, everyone's hearts can also understand.
His Majesty must understand the advantages and disadvantages of his emperor this time, so as to improve himself.
When the eldest grandson Wuji finished his opinion, Li Er smiled with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, the other ministers also said the same.
This time, no one dismissed it entirely, and certainly no one praised it entirely.
Merit is merit, and fault is fault.
Even when he Wei Zheng Lao'er criticized His Majesty in the court, he liked to compare His Majesty with Emperor Yang of Sui, and also said a lot of things about Emperor Yang of Sui.
Although he said that he had a lot of advantages, he still said a few more words.
His Majesty should learn these advantages, but looking at the shortcomings of Emperor Yang of Sui, His Majesty will never be able to learn them.
For a while, Li Er's old face became ugly, and he muttered in his heart, I came here today to talk to you, not for you to come over to criticize me.
Seeing that His Majesty's old face had changed, Wei Zheng smiled.
Taking people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses, since Your Majesty said so, of course you know everything.
It's just that after the ministers finished speaking, Li Er shook his head for a moment.
"Guys, I remember he had another big move, why didn't you say it?"
The ministers were stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand what His Majesty meant by this? “
Do you still remember the imperial examination system opened by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to recruit talents in the world, but is there such a thing? ”
This time, after listening to this, everyone's faces instantly became ugly.
Combined with what His Majesty said, some ministers instantly understood, could it be that what His Majesty said today is to restart the imperial examination system?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, does Your Majesty want to reopen the imperial examination?"
Li Er didn't hesitate at all, and nodded!
Before Li Er finished speaking, several ministers directly stood up to dissuade him.
"Your Majesty's move must not be, never allow.
If my Datang opened the imperial examination system, I am afraid that my Datang will follow the old path of the Sui Dynasty. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, this imperial examination is like a flood of beasts, and my Datang can't grasp it at all."
If the reason why the Sui Dynasty was overthrown, it actually has a lot to do with the imperial examination system he implemented.
This time, the generals on the side stood aside in a daze, listening to what they were talking about.
They are fighting in hand, and what kind of imperial examination they are talking about can only be listened to quietly, I don't know why!
The rise of the science and technology system is the first to collide with the interests of the clan gate valves.
And the Sui Dynasty clan gate valve is deep-rooted, and his Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is undoubtedly a snake hit by seven inches.
It was because of the things he used the people's power and did that he led to chaos in the world.
In fact, behind the chaos in the world, those big clan gate lords also have their credit.
Now that His Majesty is going to reopen the imperial examination, don't you just think that you want to release this flood beast, cholera and my Tang Dynasty?
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must keep in mind what I have said today, and no one will be allowed to say it.
Otherwise, even if you are all my henchmen, I will not spare you! ”
"It's Your Majesty, and the ministers are commanded."
"I opened the imperial examination in order to suppress the clan gate valve.
The clan gate valve is like a tumor growing on my body in my Datang.
If this cancer is not cured, it will only grow bigger and bigger.
If you cut off a tumor, you will inevitably cut it off along with the good meat around you.
But a momentary pain is better than making my Datang fall apart in the future. ”
Now the scholars are expanding their land unscrupulously, and the people are displaced, but they can sing day and night.
The so-called why not eat minced meat, in fact, is also talking about their clan.
In the year of the catastrophe, the palace was still short of food and clothing, but their clan gate lords could drink wine and eat meat every day.
There are even many people who have dogs in their homes, which are better than the common people.
If this continues, won't my Datang also follow the old path like the Sui Dynasty?
