Li Yin had never thought of competing with Li Tai in his studies. As a modern person, if he were to compete with Li Tai in this, wouldn't he be asking for abuse?
When they entered the Dew Palace, more than ten officials had already arrived.
The Emperor's examination of the Princes was no longer just a family matter, but a national matter.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda, and Li Gang were on the civil officials 'side. Li Jing and Li Ji were also present.
After all the princes had arrived, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun arrived.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Imperial Father!"
After greeting him, Li Shimin said,""Let's begin. As usual, Mr. Kong and Mr. Li will set the questions. Start with Chengqian!"
Kong Yingda and Li Gang walked out and stood in front of the princes.
"Please ask." Li Chengqian said politely. The teacher's meaning was similar to that of a modern teacher.
Li Gang said,"There is no war, and there is a chance to control the enemy." Evil kills good, and enlightenment contains the principle of nurturing. Not long ago, the city wall was blocked at night, and the soldiers cooked in the morning. The city was still recovered, and the north gate was not opened. By the sea of firewood and grass, the eastern suburbs are not open. Just discuss driving the long hub to climb Longshan, set up a high flag to point to the frontier fortress, the sky sound vibration, each other's condolences are burned. The snow in spring is warm, and the cold wind is easy to roll up. Now I want to lead the way to lure and persuade the enemy, temporarily stop the military punishment, write arrows to the vassal minister, blow the flute to return the enemy cavalry. What is the reason for this?"
Li Yin originally had some fantasies, thinking that he would be able to cover one or two questions by chance! Now, he had completely dispelled this fantasy. Not to mention whether he knew the question or not, he could not understand the question itself!
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and began to answer the questions. It was still the damned classical Chinese. Li Yin could not understand it, so he was too lazy to listen. Instead, he observed the civil officials and generals in the hall.
Very quickly, Li Chengqian finished his answer. Li Shiming smiled and said,"Chengqian's answer is not bad. You've improved recently…Hmm? Li? Li! Are you listening to me?"
It wasn't until Li Shimin slammed the table in anger that Li Yin reacted and quickly said,""Your son is here. What big brother said just now was too good, causing your son to be unable to help but fall into deep thought. The more I think about it, the more profound the principles inside are, and the more I don't understand. It seems that from today onwards, your son will study hard.”
Li Shi Min was curious about what Sixth Brother had said, so he asked casually,""Oh? Then do you have any thoughts on Chengqian's answer?”
"Father, Big Brother's knowledge is a hundred times better than mine. I'm not as good as him!" Li Yin replied very seriously.”
Of course, Li Shimin didn't expect his son to be so perfunctory. Although Li Yin didn't seem to answer anything, Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Yin's learning attitude today. Could it be that this Sixth Brother had changed his personality?
"Alright, then zhen will personally examine you. Listen to the question!”Li Shimin said," I've observed the ancient kings. They were ordered to rule the people, and they were conscientious and conscientious. Since the disaster fell from the sky, the living were exhausted and more than half of them were consumed. Agriculture and war are not in the past, food and clothing are scarce, considering that the people are tired, they have not yet become rich. Supervising farming and planting, but people do not have the heart to cherish the root; The tax was strict, and there was a heavy burden on the people. What can be done to restore its prosperity? What method can be used to overcome the difficulties? What should be punished for past mistakes? What should we guard against in the future?"
As soon as Li Shiming asked this question, all the officials in the hall looked at him in confusion. This question was a little out of line.
Just now, Li Gang had asked Li Chengqian a question about how to stop fighting with the border vassals through diplomatic efforts. To put it simply, how to subdue the enemy without fighting. Such a question was very suitable to test the Crown Prince because the Crown Prince would inherit the throne in the future.
This question asked,"Ever since the locust plague, the Central Plains has been at war, the people have fled, and the national treasury has been empty." At present, our Great Tang is caught in a dilemma. Ask the people to farm, everyone is not at ease living in their hometown; Increase the business tax, and people say that the tax is too heavy. Do you have any good ideas to restore the Great Tang's glory? How to get out of the current predicament? Also, what mistakes have we made in the past? How are we going to fix them? What problems should he pay attention to in the future?
For such a question, let alone Li Yin, even if it was Li Chengqian answering it, it would be a little over the line. This already involved Li Shimin himself, so it was meaningless to praise him blindly, but he couldn't really say that there was a problem with Li Shimin's ruling policy, right?
Alright, Li Yin only understood a few words. It seemed like our country is in a bit of trouble now, so how can we get rich? But he wasn't too sure!
Li Yin pretended to think, and no one urged him. For such a question, let alone an eleven-year-old prince like Li Yin, even if Zhangsun Wuji or Fang Xuanling were to answer it, they would have to be prepared.
Then, everyone saw Li Yin's frown deepen. Suddenly, Li Yin sighed and said,"Imperial Father, this question is too big, your son can't answer it!”
"Don't worry, even if you're wrong, I won't blame you.”Li Shi Min had noticed Li Yin's expression and thought that he had thought of something, but he didn't dare to say it.
If Li Yin knew that Li Shimin would think this way, he wouldn't have pretended like that just now! He just wanted to give Li Shi Min and the other ministers the impression that he was seriously considering the problem and not daydreaming!
Li Yin saw that it was impossible not to say it. However, since he had to say it, he could not just casually say a few words.
After sorting out his thoughts in his mind, Li Yin said,"Father, uncles, and brothers. Father had asked a lot of questions just now. I'll take a shortcut and pick one to answer!”
Li Shimin nodded and said,"Good!"”
"Let me talk about how to make our Great Tang rich. However, my wealth is not the same as the wealth that Imperial Father mentioned. In his father's heart, everyone had food to eat and clothes to wear. I, on the other hand, believe that if you can only eat your fill and wear warm clothes, you can only be considered 'satiated' and not rich. The wealth in my heart wants the commoners to live in warm and comfortable houses. The houses are decorated with exquisite furniture. There is wine and meat on the dining table. The children have beautiful clothes and delicious candy. Everyone can enter the school. On the street, there must be a wide and straight avenue with a dazzling array of shops. Everyone must be dressed in luxurious clothes and have a satisfied smile on their faces when chatting.”
"Sixth brother, don't talk nonsense. How is this possible?”Li Ke, who was standing beside Li Yin, shouted at him.
Li Shimin stopped Li Ke and said to Li Yin,"Go on!" Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720194:50PM
