"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to select some books as the main books for the imperial examination. Then, print them and distribute them to various places. We must seize the time to select a group of officials.”
Zhangsun Wuji said.
"That's right!"
Li Shi Min nodded," I'll leave the auxiliary machinery to you!”
"This subject will obey your orders!"
Fang Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands and said solemnly.
"Yes!"
Li Shi Min nodded slightly, and then a faint smile appeared on his face." Without any worries, I would like to see how tough the bones of this aristocratic family are!”
Previously, Li Shiming did not dare to be ruthless to the aristocratic families because he was afraid of hurting them!
In this world, there was no shortage of people who wanted to be officials!
Even if half of the officials were dismissed, there would naturally be new people to replace them. It was just a little unrest.
Li Shiming was worried that once the aristocratic families were completely abolished, there would be no one left to serve as an official. That would truly be a disaster for the Great Tang!
But now, it was different!
The day when the Humble Class and even the commoners would rise up was not far away!
……
On the second day.
Morning court.
This time, Li Shi Min didn't say he was sick.
Looking at Li Shi Min, Cui Jian's face revealed a faint smile.
He felt that his plan had succeeded!
Li Shi Min compromised!
Thinking about it, if he didn't rely on the support of his aristocratic families, how could he control the Great Tang?
"These few days, I've been feeling unwell, but…the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Personnel…have piled up a mountain of government affairs.!”
Li Shi Min coldly swept his gaze across the officials in the hall and said.
"Hmm?"
Cui Jian was stunned. He couldn't figure out what Li Shimin was going to do. Could it be that…he wanted to use him as an example?
No!
That was impossible!
Cui Jian believed that Li Shiming would not dare to risk being attacked by the aristocratic families of the world to make an example out of him!
Certainly,
Li Shi Min had a grudge in his heart, he just needed to let it out!
Thinking of this, Cui Jian's heart relaxed.
After pondering for a moment, Cui Jian stood up and said,
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, and many other officials are worried that the tragedy of the Cui family in Boling will happen again. For a time, everyone is in danger, which is why it has been delayed!”
"Everyone is in danger?"
Li Shi Min stared at Cui Jian, a smile on his face," So you are blaming me?”
"I don't dare!"
Cui Jian straightened his body and then slowly bowed." I just want to seek justice for the Cui family!”
"Justice?"
Li Shi Min smiled coldly," Then…who will give justice to the Youzhou soldiers who died in battle?!”
"Your Majesty, the deaths of the soldiers…are due to the rebellion of the Turks. This subject is also very sad, but…what does that have to do with the Cui family?”
Cui Jian said slowly,
"How absurd is it to destroy the ancestral land of my Cui family without evidence?!”
"Ridiculous?"
Li Shi Min suddenly stood up and said coldly," For the Cui family's previous achievements, I only punished Cui Yuan Long's family and didn't implicate you. It's already a great favor!”
" You still dare to call it ridiculous?!"
After saying that, he threw the memorial in his hand straight at Cui Jian's face.
Pa!
Cui Jian was old after all, and he could not dodge in time. He was directly hit in the face, and his face instantly turned red as if he had been slapped.
Cui Jian was stunned!
It was unbelievable!
He would never have thought that he would be treated like this!
Could it be that Li Shiming was prepared to break off relations with the aristocratic families?!
"Your Majesty, the matter of deducting military rations is Li Jing's one-sided story! In this way, I am afraid that I will lose the hearts of the people if I am easily convicted. I implore Your Majesty to investigate clearly!!”
Even though his face was still burning, Cui Jian couldn't help but speak.
"Such treatment, my Cui family…will not accept it!”
"Zhen, I know you are not convinced!"
Li Shi Min stared at Cui Jian. After a long time, he turned his gaze to the other aristocratic children," I know that you are not convinced!”
"But, this…is my world. I can't allow you to be unconvinced!”
Li Shi Min's voice echoed,
Instantly, the imperial court was shocked!
Especially those aristocratic families, their expressions completely changed!
"Your Majesty is so arbitrary, I'm afraid you'll lose the hearts of the people!”
Cui Jian gritted his teeth. He knew that the arrow was already on the bow and he had no choice but to speak.
"If Your Majesty insists on doing this, this subject…is old. Please ask for retirement and return home!”
This was Cui Jian's final step!
Resigning to force Li Shimin to compromise!
"I…am also unwell. Please resign!”
"I, please resign!"
……
As Cui Jian finished speaking, a few more people stepped forward at the same time and spoke.
These people were either assistant ministers of the Ministry of Personnel or scholars of the Imperial Academy. They all held important positions.
At this moment, they all resigned!
The impact was naturally huge!
However, he had to admit,
"Correct!"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Li Shiming's impatient voice," If the rest of you fall sick or retire, I will allow it!”
"Retreat!"
After saying that, he ignored the stunned gaze and left.
