No one had expected this Luo Bin Wang to be so arrogant, daring to challenge the sons of the princes in public.
In fact, the conflict between the Humble Class and the Wealthy Class had always existed.
Both sides often clashed in the court.
This was because the wealthy families had a deep foundation and were inextricably linked to each other. Therefore, in every competition, the officials from the Humble Class were always at a disadvantage.
Since the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang had established the imperial examination system, giving the children of the poor the opportunity and channel to rise, and suppressing the noble families, but it still could not change the current situation.
Luo Binwang was an outstanding representative of the Humble Class. Now, he had just entered the Imperial College and had issued a challenge to the powerful families.
It was both unexpected and within his expectations.
Although Li Shimin's expression was clearly filled with anger, only Li Yi and a few old foxes could see the excitement and excitement hidden in Li Er's heart.
Li Yi knew very well that Li Shimin, who was the ruler of the country, did not wish to see the Wealthy Class grow stronger. In fact, deep in his heart, he hoped to promote some of the lesser children to enrich the imperial court.
The powerful families would only suppress the imperial power, because in the eyes of these people, the reason why they could be put in an important position by the imperial court was because of the huge family behind them. But the Humble Class disciples were different. After they rose to power, they would be deeply grateful to the imperial power and be loyal.
Apart from this reason, the appropriate competition between the noble families and the poor families could also ensure the concentration of imperial power to the greatest extent. In other words, the imperial power could strike a balance between the two.
Therefore, when he saw Luo Bin Wang take the lead in issuing the challenge, Li Shi Min's heart was filled with joy.
Of course, in order to maintain the dignity of the noble families, Li Er's face showed a trace of anger.""Luo Bin Wang, are you sure you want to challenge the scions of the princes?”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The competition for the Imperial College entrance this time was too intense. Many poor scholars were filled with ambition and talent, but they were unable to enter the Imperial College. As for the descendants of the nobles, they could directly enter the Imperial College based on their background.”
"This student would like to ask, how will the Great Tang be able to make the barbarians submit to it in the future? Relying on our ancestors?"
Luo Binwang's words were awe-inspiring and extremely generous.
The faces of the princes and disciples in the hall turned ashen. This kid who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth was simply humiliating them.
"Luo Bin Wang, you are too impudent. How can you humiliate the nobles as you please?”
"Don't think that you can look down on the world just because you're a prodigy.”
"Your Majesty, this child is deluding the people with his lies. Please remove his qualifications to enter the school.”
…………
The officials from the wealthy families were filled with righteous indignation.
Unexpectedly, Li Shi Min waved his hand and said,"Although this child is biased, what he said is not without reason. All of you are citizens of the Great Tang, yet I am openly biased towards you. I have truly let down the expectations of the Emperor.”
When the officials from wealthy families heard the Emperor's words, their faces instantly turned ashen.
Then, Li Shimin announced,""I've decided to let the sons of the princes and nobles and the Humble Class scholars have a fair assessment.”
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the civil and military officials in the hall changed.
To the wealthy families, the Imperial College enrollment this time was the first step for their children to officially step into the officialdom.
With the identity of a student of the Imperial College, these scions of wealthy families would have a smoother career.
But who knew that the Emperor would suddenly hold such a fair assessment?
"Didn't you say that it was just a formality? Why did it suddenly become serious?"
This was almost the common thought of the children of the wealthy families.
Compared to the dejected scions of the wealthy families, the poor scions in the hall were especially excited. They all shouted,"Your Majesty is wise."
If the assessment was truly fair, then it could be imagined that the Imperial College would have more Humble Class students.
When Li Shimin announced the start of the assessment, Li Yi walked forward and suddenly said,""Your Majesty, I've passed the test. There's no need to take another test.”
Before Li Shi Min could reply, the arrogant Luo Bin Wang snorted coldly,"His Majesty has already said that this is an open and fair assessment. As for those tricks in the past, forget it.”
Li Shi Min was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud. He seemed to be very happy."Li Yi, it's not that I'm going back on my word, but none of the Imperial College students in this hall agree to it. Therefore, you have to participate in the assessment as well.”
