Li Shimin wanted to say something, such as asking suspiciously what a "forbidden marriage family" is.

For example, he was still planning to go to Guanyin's maid tonight in his heart, pretending to have no intention of asking why he chose a concubine from the people.

Regarding the light curtain saying that the scholars did not want to marry the royal princess, Li Shimin wanted to scoff:

Don't want to marry? You and other silverfish who damage the country and the fat family are also worthy?

The prestige of Princess Pingyang Zhao is still remembered by Li Shimin.

Ying Jinyang raised troops, gathered the heroes in Guanzhong, and Si Zhu raised the women's army.

Weihe Hebei will be a teacher, sisters and brothers will break Chang'an, and the town will set the world.

Rong Ma is handsome, life and death are sad.

Therefore, when he heard that later generations called Wei Zeguan a lady's pass, Li Shimin was happy for his sister in his heart.

It's just that......

Sister Princess Yongjia, fornication.

Princess Taiping, who doesn't know which daughter she is, rebelled?!

and the dizzying princesses behind, for the first time, the fear in Li Shimin's heart overwhelmed the curiosity.

He doesn't want to understand!

But then Li Shimin felt that this light curtain was like a giant hammer, and smashed down on his head:

The eldest grandson queen, Zhenguan for ten years, died of illness!

Li Shimin felt dizzy for a moment, there seemed to be thousands of people howling in his ears, crying and laughing, and suddenly he seemed to be able to hear the happy and relieved voices of his brothers and sisters.

He couldn't help but stand up and take two steps forward, but immediately realized that the light curtain was just announcing the news, and his Guanyin maid was not among them.

After a little relaxation, an unprecedented feeling of weakness took over his body.

So the ministers saw their majesty, and the scorching sun of Datang, which was only thirty years old, was unprecedentedly dimmed.

The young, energetic body staggered back until it held on to the chair.

The eldest grandson Wuji, whose eyes were red, helped him up.

"Your Majesty......"

"Everybody......"

The voice was noisy, but it made Li Shimin inexplicably reassured, and also made his body regain its strength.

"I'm going to see the Queen......"

Li Shimin couldn't wait, but soon woke up and realized that the light curtain was still here, so he covered his head and changed the order:

"Quickly Xuan Changsun Empress comes to the Ganlu Palace."

Even if he was stubborn, Wei Zheng did not jump out at this time to say that Yu Li was not in harmony, because it was useless to know.

The dragon has reverse scales, and it will be angry when touched, and the eldest grandson queen is definitely one of His Majesty's reverse scales.

Lying weakly on the couch by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin was massaged on the head by the eldest grandson Wuji with his eyes closed.

In the embarrassing silence, Li Shimin finally took the initiative to speak:

"In the twenty years of Zhenguan, the prince has been in trouble, the harem has usurped power, and nothing has been accomplished."

With a wry smile, Du Ruhui persuaded:

"Your Majesty, why should you suffer yourself? That is too mysterious, that future generations commemorate, how can the honor of later generations be faked? ”

This persuasion is also a little reasonable, Li Shimin's headache eased a little, and he simply looked at the dome of the Ganlu Hall and said:

"That martial artist is entering my palace, so it's always right."

"This..."Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said carefully: "Since you can enter the palace, it can be seen that her name, appearance, and talent are all good choices for a while." ”

"With his means of winning Empress Lu, even if His Majesty turns a blind eye, there are also means to enter the palace."

Li Shimin just wanted to refute, but when he remembered the princess of the Tang Dynasty, he was speechless for a while.

Even if you don't enter the palace in the name of a talented person, you may be able to find a good opportunity if you choose a princess who acts unscrupulously.

On the other side, the eldest grandson Wuji had already said murderously:

"Please give an order, the minister will dig three feet into the ground to find this demon woman and put it to death, and eliminate the disaster!"

"No!" Wei Zheng jumped out: "Isn't this killing people in an unwarranted name?" This is not what Renjun did! ”

The noisy shouting of the ministers made Li Shimin annoyed, so he simply closed his eyes again.

Soon the hall was quiet again, and a pair of weak, boneless, slightly cold hands covered his forehead, and then skillfully pinched and picked it up, and the pain began to slowly subside.

"Guanyin..."

Li Shimin grabbed the hands and covered them on his eyelids, and then bean-sized tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

……

Everyone in the Chengdu Mansion looked at the deeds of the princess of the Tang Dynasty and was dumbfounded.

Pang Tong swallowed his saliva and said:

"This Tang Dynasty is ...... at this moment"

Kong Ming interface:

"Just like my Han's time and moment."

Liu Bei couldn't help but admire:

"How can it be so similar?"

The two military advisors shook their heads together and exclaimed:

"It's so similar!"

For a while, everyone in the hall was a little difficult to accept.

What about the punishment that is said to be good before and after? What about the division of the car in front and the car in the back?

Eunuchs are in power, and relatives are involved in politics.

The harem regent, the princess rebelled.

You've got to remake it all, right?

Even if you, the Tang Dynasty, learn from the advantages of my Han Dynasty, how can you still imitate the past?

Zhang Fei whispered to Lai Lai:

"Our big man is far worse than that Datang."

"The Empress Gao is not the emperor, and the eldest princess of Hubei is only participating, but it is not as good as this princess of Taiping who controls the government and wants to seize the throne."

Liu Bei handed over the death gaze for the first time:

"Third brother, there is still a shortage of ...... in Jiangyan"

"I just don't say it." Zhang Fei hurriedly stopped his mouth.

Kong Ming remembered a rather realistic problem and was a little worried:

"The light curtain previously said that this Li Shimin and the Cao thief generally have a head wind."

"Now that I have heard such news, I am afraid that I will ......"

Head wind... It shouldn't be fatal, right? Kong Ming wasn't too sure.

Zhang Fei also wanted to gloat a little:

"Maybe the Tang Emperor is like glue with the Empress Wu......"

Kong Ming shook his head and said:

"The Tang Emperor had words in the light curtain before, and the Western Regions had not received it, so it can be seen that it was early."

Pang Tong's eyes lit up, and then he slapped his leg with great regret:

"I can't wait to see with my own eyes that Emperor Tang saw such news!!"

……

In the Temple of Manna.

Empress Eldest Sun was sitting upright on the couch, massaging Li Shimin's head on her lap, while listening intently to Du Ruhui's explanation.

Du Ruhui's words were concise and precise, and in just a few words, Empress Changsun had a general understanding of the current situation.

It also made Empress Changsun solve a doubt in her heart: why everyone was occasionally excited before, but they didn't say anything when they asked.

If it weren't for his deep belief in his temperament, Empress Changsun almost thought that Li Shimin had secretly taken Wushisan.

Now that she knew her worries, Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said to Li Shimin on her lap:

"Not only can I inherit the prosperity of His Majesty's Zhenguan, but I want to come to this martial artist is also a heroine, and it just so happens that the concubine lacks a clever person around her."

This is to ask Li Shimin to summon that martial artist into the palace in advance.

Li Shimin was a little hesitant, and the eldest grandson Empress smiled coincidentally:

"Now that I am summoned, how to deal with it is all in the mind of Your Majesty, what is His Majesty Li Shimin, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to fear?"

Li Shimin sat up, he still liked this title before, but somehow he felt a sense of shame when his queen read it out loud.

So he hurriedly shouted: "That's according to Guanyin." ”

It just so happened that at this time, the light curtain continued to roll slowly, and Li Shimin was busy begging for mercy:

"Let's look at the light curtain first."

[Five surnames and seven wangs are the saying of the early Tang Dynasty, taking advantage of the prosperity of Zhenguan, as well as the noble nobles such as Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Li Tao who ignored Erfeng's warnings and rushed to intermarry with the Shandong scholars.

The surname of the scholar clan also quickly recovered, and when it came to Gaozong, the five surnames and seven wang had become seven surnames and ten families, and the prime minister of the Hanmen at that time, Li Yifu, and the Shandong scholar clan were rejected for marriage, so they sued Gaozong.

Emperor Gaozong then ordered that the seven surnames and ten families were forbidden to intermarry with each other, which is the origin of the commonly known forbidden marriage family.

A ban has raised the value of the Shandong scholars, and the seven surnames and ten families are proud to call the forbidden marriage family, and the ban is useless, just get married secretly.

Emperor Wenzong personally proposed to the prime minister Zheng Qin, hoping that the crown prince would marry Zheng Qin's granddaughter, but Zheng Qin refused to allow his granddaughter to marry Cui Gao, who was only a nine-rank official.

Tang Wenzong "Two hundred years of heaven, can't take care of Cui Luye? The sigh has thus become the golden sign of the forbidden marriage, and the reputation of the Shandong scholars is more and more prestigious.

There is a very helpless fact behind the role of Li Shimin's "Clan Chronicles": the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty was indeed an improvement compared with the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty, but it did not play a big role in the Tang Dynasty.

In the 20th year of Taizong Zhenguan, Erfeng inspected and merged the state, and sent 22 people such as Dali Siqing to inspect the Quartet, but the inspection envoys soon found that the official governance of the state was extremely corrupt, and Erfeng was furious, and then executed or dismissed nearly 1,000 people, which was only a place in the state.

In the annals of history, there were four scholars in the imperial examination in the 20th year of Zhenguan, and seven in the following year, which together were only 1 percent of the vacancies in the official positions in the prefecture.

According to the information collected so far, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty began in 622 and ended in 904, and the imperial examination was held 273 times in 282 years, with a total of 8,455 scholars, an average of only 23 people per year.

So is the number of officials in Datang very small? Obviously not, again with an early example:

In the second year of Gaozong's Xianqing, there were 1,400 people who became officials, and in the same year, only 22 people were selected for the imperial examination, and how many official vacancies were there in the second year of Xianqing? Nearly five hundred.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, there were various ways to enter the office, such as system, grace, inspection, lifting, winter recommendation, catching money, and military merits, all of which were ways to enter the office.

Although the final test forms are different, the starting point is the same: the recommendation of local officials is required to qualify.

Although the system of grace and shade has been changed in successive dynasties, it has never been abolished, and the Tang Dynasty is the most prosperous dynasty of grace, and most of the officials of the Tang Dynasty came from this.

Catching money is a disguised system of selling officials, there are money to order history, Xu Shi, Pinzi, etc., this position is about equivalent to using the money of the court to make usury, and you need to pay a certain amount of money to the court every year, and you can be awarded an official after a certain number of years.

Because there are too many means, the Tang Dynasty did not have a bad imperial examination at all, and in fact, there was already a problem of redundant officials when Gaozong was in power.

It is still the second year of Xianqing, there are less than 500 vacant official positions, and a total of 1,400 people have been recruited, and there are more than 7,000 people in the Ministry of Officials who are waiting for the examination to enter the stream, such as Enyin and military merits, and there are more than 70,000 people in the Ministry of Officials waiting for the assessment when the redundancy of officials in the entire Tang Dynasty is the most serious, and the longest may have to wait for ten years.

And in the process of grace and outflow (outsourcing to regularization), this is where the "Clan Chronicles" comes into play, and according to the surname level, the upper limit of the five surnames and seven wangyin disciples who have died is limited.

The confined scholars soon found their new place: the imperial examination was the cradle of the best. 】
