Chapter 360: Tacit
And Li Shimin also has a trump card, that is, the Lu Guogong Mansion - Cheng family!
This family is all well-known in Chang'an City!
If you really dare to bite the grain in your hands and not let go, then don't blame Li Shimin for not talking about martial arts, and go straight to grab it! Of course, this is Li Shimin's inner thoughts.
If the ministers want him to bow his head, if he bows his head, he will let the Cheng family rob him!
"If the prestige of this family rises to the extreme, it will not be a good thing for the imperial court, how can this be good?" Li Shimin asked worriedly, he was afraid that this trick was useful, the prestige of the family had reached an uncontrollable level, wouldn't he, the emperor, become a puppet of the family.
Those families of the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty ruled the world with the emperor, and he was always worried about a repeat in his Tang Dynasty! He was afraid that he would be like that, and he was afraid that his children and grandchildren would be like that!
Therefore, Li Shimin has been deliberately suppressing the family, and now it is almost just harmony on face, and everyone knows it.
When the Turkic matter is over, Li Shimin still has to clean up these people.
is mainly the influence of the court, without the influence of the court, in terms of the style of these families over the years, it is impossible to have any popular support in Chang'an and Datang.
Saying that they are tigers with teeth pulled out, they are not worthy, but there are indeed people in the court who can influence your policies.
"Then eliminate their people, replace them with His Majesty's own people, and truly loyal to the people of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, as long as it affects their policies, they will let their people not implement them, so that the decree cannot be implemented, in this way, no matter how good the decree and how wise the king is, the affairs of the court are still in their hands." Qin Shou said.
"This is not easy to say, most of the people in the court today are from the family, or those who are attached to the family, no matter how the dynasty changes, they always stand on the court and influence the king's decision-making. If you want to enter the court, how easy is it? Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed.
It is Fang Xuanling himself, as well as a group of former ministers of the Tiance Mansion before, except for a few military generals, how can the ministers come from a poor family. Now they are only getting a place in the court because of the troubled times.
But now in addition to their positions as former ministers of the Tiance Mansion, some other important positions still have a lot of people with five surnames and seven sects.
"What's so difficult about this, it's very simple, it's nothing more than a matter of reading, a matter of the imperial examination!"
"Hey, what you think is still too simple, the imperial examination is to be able to read and write strategies, and only those who can write poems can participate, and the people of the current Tang Dynasty are thankful that they can eat and dress warmly, what money do the people have to read? You don't know how much a book costs, where can the people afford it? ”
Du Xiyue couldn't help but sigh.
"That's right, now the people who can read in the Tang Dynasty are the children of the nobles or the children of the family, if you want to study, either you are an official in your own family, or you are related to the family."
Fang Fengzhu also said that she is also deeply touched by this, and she also likes books, although she also has a lot of books at home.
But compared to the books handed down by those thousand-year-old families, for example, her maternal grandfather, Xingyang Lu's, is only a drop in the bucket.
Reading this matter, it can be said that the children of the family are better than those ordinary people at the starting line.
And the children of the family don't have to worry about food and clothing like the children of the people.
The knowledge of books is firmly controlled by the families, and if you want to govern the world without them, what can you do?
It is also an important reason why Li Shimin has not been able to wipe them with a knife.
A knife down is painful and comfortable.
But what if there is no one available in the court?
Those who study in Guozijian need to have a certain foundation of knowledge, and there are still many of them who are related to the five surnames and seven sects, or those who are born in the five surnames and seven sects.
Although the imperial court continued the imperial examination and selection system of the Imperial Court, it was still those people who could read and read.
This is the influence of the five families on the court, whenever his policies suppress them or harm their interests, the officials of those families will come out to speak.
In the previous Wude period, when the crown prince Qin Wang seized the throne, these families still knew how to protect themselves, but now they are too peaceful, and they are making trouble every day.
The imperial examination system, the imperial examination system, the people who come and go are still the people of the family.
Seven or eight out of ten officials in the DPRK and China are from the family.
Of course, Qin Shou also knew about this problem, and before the Northern Song Dynasty, the price of books was indeed very high, and it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
After the Northern Song Dynasty, the printing technique, one of the four great Ming dynasties in ancient China, was created.
Since then, everyone has been reading books, and who doesn't have a few books at home.
"You're right, but I've thought of a solution, a fundamental solution." Qin Shou said.
Qin Shou's words suddenly made the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin, as well as everyone present, have a kind of disbelief in their eyes, and Li Shimin couldn't wait to go up and hug Qin Shou and kiss him fiercely.
Eldest Sun Wuji's hands were trembling vigorously now.
"You, do you really have a way?"
Li Shimin is still a little unbelievable, how old is this son of his, can he really have such ability?
Can it really bring down the high price of books?
If it's really like this, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner!
If Qin Shou can really do it, let Li Shimin give him the throne immediately!
Both of them looked at Qin Shou with an extremely fiery look in their eyes, and their breathing became heavy.
"yes, I have a way." Qin Shou said.
"That, that, then you say, what the hell is the solution?" Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask.
"Don't worry, wait for this food matter to pass first. I'm going to prepare for a while, and when you come back, you should know the mystery here. Qin Shou said mysteriously.
"You better go first and see if this method can be given to your backer, whether your backer is willing to help you get an official, you must write a note in advance, and then you tell them this, so as not to be deceived and help the number of money." Qin Shou reminded.
Someone cheated and still helped the number of money?
This!
Fang Fengzhu, Du Xiyue, and Li Chengqian, a few of them saw His Majesty and Uncle Guo being said like this, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
Is there anyone in the world who dares to sell the two of them?
got the solution, this time there was no food, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly left: "Now that the matter is urgent, Lao Sun and I will leave first, and come to see you another day, by the way, is there still that tea?" Can you give me some more, I'll give it to someone else. ”
Li Shimin said so, but of course what he wanted was to drink it himself!
Just kidding, who does he need to give a gift to?
Who would dare to receive it from him?
