After Li Jing's words, several people from the general's faction stepped forward one after another.
"Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, also think that the martial arts exam is necessary! At the same time, Old Cheng also agreed with General Li's proposal. Old Cheng also felt that the Military Academy that was supposed to be used for fishing should be built!”
"Yes! Your Majesty, I also think that it makes sense. Why do they have academies when they play with pens, but we can't have military academies when we are soldiers? Could it be that we soldiers are weaker than them?”
"This lowly subject Li Ji agrees with General Li Jing's opinion!”
"This subject Qin Qiong agrees with General Li Jing's opinion. It just so happens that this old minister's health has been deteriorating in recent years, and I can go to the Military Academy to teach the future soldiers of the Great Tang some principles of war!”
...
After Li Jing's words, almost all the big shots in the Tang army stood up to express their agreement.
This was the time to raise the status of the soldiers as a whole.
They naturally had to stand up and support this.
There were scholars who were top scholars, so how could those who practiced martial arts be inferior to those who studied literature?
Many of the civil officials had wanted to stand up and object.
However, when he saw Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, the two bastards, staring at him with their big eyes.
Yet, he did not dare to take a step forward.
Cheng Yaojin was famous for being a troublemaker. If you dared to stand up to him, he would think of a way to beat you up in front of the emperor.
If he acted shamelessly after the incident, he would at most be beaten a few times.
The next day, nothing happened.
And Yuchi Gong was even more of a ruffian.
Outside the Xuande Gate, he had fought with the Prince of Hejian County one-on-one, and his hand had been broken!
Wasn't he completely fine?
He couldn't afford to offend these two fiends.
"Yes! Apothecary, I agree!"
This is the result I want.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
After Li Jing and the others retreated, Du Ruhui also stood up.
Zhangsun Wuji also stood out.
He had been thinking about it since yesterday.
As His Majesty's close friend, he was also a relative of His Majesty.
At this moment, if he didn't stand up and support Li Shiming's decision, he would be able to do it.
Then, he, Zhangsun Wuji, would really have reached the end of his path.
"Yes, if there's anything wrong with the auxiliary engine, just say it directly!”
"Your Majesty, I think your words about eliminating the poor and the rich and the professions are very reasonable! The condition of officials above the fifth rank recommending talents for the imperial examination should be eliminated. The next examination venue should be set up in various places. Anyone who was shortlisted could participate in the imperial examination!”
"Moreover, we should add an imperial examination project! Giving up on using the Book of Songs as the main criteria for the assessment! Instead, they should be practical and assess the governance of the people, the laws of the Tang Dynasty, disaster relief, and other matters that were closer to the people's livelihood!”
...
After Zhangsun Wuji said this, he immediately felt that the burden on his body had been lifted.
Between the interests of the aristocratic families and Li Shi Min, he ultimately chose the latter.
"Yes, what the auxiliary engine said is very deep in my heart!”
As soon as Li Shi Min finished speaking, an old man with a white beard suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, you can't! Wouldn't changing the imperial examinations be child's play? All the students in the world had studied hard for a year just to get it right. If the imperial examination was tampered with now, wouldn't these students 'hard work for a year be in vain?”
"That's right, Your Majesty. This is absolutely inappropriate! If the recommendation was eliminated, wouldn't all kinds of people be able to participate in the imperial examination? In this way, it would undoubtedly increase the burden of the imperial examination and increase the consumption of silver money for no reason!”
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I'm afraid that the students in the world will not be convinced and will complain!”
"Your Majesty…"
With the first person taking the lead, many people came forward one after another to oppose Zhangsun Wuji's suggestion.
These people more or less represented some aristocratic families or wealthy families.
As for the others, they were those who had used the recommendation qualification to gain a lot of benefits.
If the recommendation qualification was gone, how could they earn money?
This suggestion was undoubtedly cutting off their path to wealth!
"If you have any other opinions, please voice them.”
Li Shi Min looked down at the ministers who were jumping around happily. He didn't seem angry at all.
Instead, it was the pen-wielding eunuch next to him who recorded the words of every minister who stood up and raised objections.
Along the way, he also wrote down their names a few times.
There were actually so many people who dared to stand up and oppose the policies that the ruler of a country had proposed.
Alright, write it down in the small notebook and investigate it thoroughly later.
As long as they have dirty hands, then let's wait and see.
The blood of the Black Tortoise Sect has not dissipated. Do you really think that I dare not touch you?
After hearing Li Shi Min's words, the ministers all shut their mouths.
Seeing this scene, Li Shi Min snorted coldly and announced his withdrawal.
If he wanted to implement the reform, he had to intimidate the officials. The best deterrence was a lesson in blood.
"Retreat…"
As the eunuch's sharp voice rang out, the group of officials left the hall with their own thoughts.
Although today's imperial examination reform was not going well.
However, Li Shi Min was still very happy.
Because he had already taken the first step.
