Am I too young?
Tsk…
Xu Nian was not convinced. Age was still useful.
Did I not shower as much as you, or did I not eat as much salt as you?
No!
Xu Nian was certain of this. He was probably the one who had eaten the most salt in the Great Tang.
There was absolutely no one like him.
Barbecue, hotpot, and spicy hotpot from his previous life…
Wasn't that heavy salt and heavy oil?
Moreover, Xu Nian was confident that he had seen far more things than these people from the Great Tang.
At least, he wouldn't call the craters on the moon the Moon Palace.
Xu Nian shook his head.
"Mother, to be honest, if you want to attack the noble families and uproot them, you have to start from this point. Otherwise, everything else is nonsense.”
"It can't hurt the foundation."
Xu Nian said.
Empress Zhangsun fell silent.
She thought about it carefully. It seemed that what Xu Nian said was right. They had to kick the power of the aristocratic families out of the court, and then let the scholars worship the court instead of the aristocratic families.
However, how was this possible?
She understood this logic, but what should she do?
What should he do to eliminate the noble families from the court? What could he do to make the scholars feel grateful and yearning for the imperial court? Instead of letting the scholars bow their heads to the aristocratic families.
"Phew…"
"This…Mother also knows, and I think His Majesty also knows, but how can I do it?”
Empress Zhangsun was extremely worried.
When she thought about this, she felt a little stifled.
At this moment, Empress Zhangsun understood Li Shimin.
If he was the emperor, he would feel helpless facing such a clan.
" Hehehe…" Xu Nian laughed.
"Mother…"
He looked at Empress Zhangsun mysteriously.""I do have a way, but I'm afraid that Li Er won't dare to do it.”
"Hmm?"
Empress Zhangsun's body trembled.
"Speak!"
"Nian 'er, tell me if you dare to do it.”
"If His Majesty is forced to a dead end, he will really dare to do it.”
Empress Zhangsun said hurriedly.
Xu Nian took a deep breath.
It was time for him to show off again.
"This method is actually the imperial examination.”
Xu Nian said.
He looked at Empress Zhangsun's expression and gently flicked his sleeve.
The imperial examinations began in the Sui Dynasty, or more accurately, during the reign of Emperor Wu Zetian.
During the Zhenguan period, the imperial examinations would be implemented five years later. However, when they first appeared, they were almost monopolized by the aristocratic families, almost no different from the system of recommending and selecting officials.
This situation was only slightly reversed during Wu Zetian's era.
Imperial examinations
Imperial examinations!
Empress Zhangsun's expression changed drastically.
She stared straight at Xu Nian, her eyes stiff, as if her brain had fallen into deep thought.
"Imperial examinations…"
" Isn't this from the previous dynasty?"
Empress Zhangsun said solemnly.
"What do you think?" Xu Nian nodded.
"Mother, don't mention the previous dynasty with such a hateful look.”
"Great Sui is also very strong in some aspects.”
"It's just that I messed things up later on. However, this imperial examination system is indeed not bad.”
"At that time, Emperor Yang also discovered some of the nobles and wanted to use the imperial examinations to bring them down. However, in the end, he didn't play well.”
"However, it cannot be denied that the imperial examination system is the most powerful and effective way to change the current state of the Great Tang.”
Xu Nian said confidently.
Indeed, the imperial examination could be said to have directly touched the roots of the great tree of the aristocratic family.
Otherwise, Emperor Yang would not be in such a miserable state. He wanted to deal with the aristocratic family, but in the end, he was tricked by the aristocratic family until he lost his blood mother.
However, this person was quite determined and persevered.
Moreover, to be honest, this was also the only way to break free from the aristocratic family!
Empress Zhangsun took a deep breath.
"Nian 'er, continue.”
When she came, although she wanted to ask Xu Nian for advice, she did not have much hope.
After all, Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the other Dukes of the Great Tang could not do anything about the matter of the aristocratic family.
However, he did not expect Li Nian to directly say a solution.
Although she thought that this method was too unbelievable.
No one had ever thought of this.
Xu Nian took a sip of water to clear his throat before he continued to speak.
