Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui didn't relax because of Li Shimin's approval.
On the contrary, it was extremely solemn.
Imperial examinations!
What did this mean? It meant that His Majesty was really going to face the aristocratic families alone and a large number of aristocratic officials in the court!!!
Moreover, His Majesty would also carry the hopes and enthusiasm of the people!
This pressure was suffocating and terrifying!
However, the two of them also knew that the imperial examination was imperative!
The two of them exchanged a glance before turning around and walking out.
The first thing was to tell the world about this news!!!
One of them was the Minister of State, and the other was the Secretary of State. With the two of them working together and Li Shimin, any policy could be said to be unimpeded.
No matter what the road ahead was, he would do it first!
"How could this be! How did this happen?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is nonsense, this is nonsense!!!”
"I don't agree, I don't agree!!”
"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is too arbitrary. Such a major matter that affects the direction of the world must be discussed properly!!!”
"Since ancient times, every dynasty has ruled the world with filial piety and honesty. Only the previous dynasty held the imperial examination, but the outcome was obvious.!! Your Majesty, don't be deceived by others, don't be deceived by others, Your Majesty!!!”
"His Majesty already has a treacherous minister by his side, yet he actually led His Majesty to make such a decision. He should be killed!!!”
“···········”
When the nobles finally reacted, the entire hall turned into a mess.
Terrifying!
It was really too terrifying!
No one would have thought that the officials in the court would have such a violent side.
Their eyes were red!
Their faces were ashen!
Their lips turned purple!
All of them were hysterical!
They had gone crazy. They raised the banner of opposition high in the air and shouted crazily in the Political Hall!
However, no one responded to them.
Li Shi Min had left long ago.
Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, and the other pillars of the clan were also a little…at a loss!!! He couldn't react in time!
What was going on?
What the hell?
Hold an imperial examination?
F * ck!
Was this Li Shiming stupid? Did he not know how the previous dynasty was destroyed? Was he really going to follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty? Was his brain filled with tofu?!!
After more than ten years of silence, you're starting to stir up this matter again?
This was asking for humiliation!
This was suicide!
He was really going to make a move against the noble family!
He was really getting bolder and bolder. Was he taking the initiative to provoke the noble clan?
"Let's go!"
" Go find Old Master Li!!!"
Pei Ji flung his sleeves and hurriedly walked out.
Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Gao Shilian, and the others quickly followed.
This matter…had really blown up!!!!
Last time, the aristocratic family did not succeed in taking over the temple, but Li Shiming wanted to eliminate the aristocratic family!
How was this possible?
The roots of the aristocratic families have already penetrated deep into the world. What can you, Li Shi Min, fight with?
Isn't it good to be an honest emperor?!!!
Why did he have to think of getting rid of the aristocratic family?
Dream on!
·······················
At this moment, 600 miles away from Chang 'an, in the Qinling Mountains.
Beside a river, a young man in white clothes and green boots sat there leisurely. He had a happy expression as he held a fishing rod in his hand and was fishing.
Young Master, Chang 'an has sent another letter."
At this moment, a young girl walked over with a letter in her hand.
The girl was tall and slender, wearing a green robe and white boots. Her face was cold and she was holding a long spear in her arms, emitting a murderous aura that made one's heart palpitate.
She was so cold, but her appearance was so beautiful that people could not help but lock their eyes on her.
"Is that so?"
"Read it."
the youth said.
The young girl opened the letter skillfully and read it.
"Hehehe…"
"This Imperial Father of mine still has some ambition.”
" Open the imperial examination, open the imperial examination…"
"Not bad."
the youth muttered to himself.
This youth was naturally the current King of Wei, Li Tai!
"Young Master, we've been away from Chang 'an for several months. Why don't we go back?”The young girl said," The steel factory has been set up. It will start production in a few days. Young Master, Qingniao, just stay here and keep an eye on it."”
"Why are we going back? Chang 'an has such beautiful scenery?"
"There's no hurry."
Li Tai shook his head.
He had to return to Chang 'an, but not now.
All these years, he had been hiding his private stash of money. He did not know how much wealth he had.
At the same time, he also drew a lot of good things.
Li Tai knew very well that although the System's private savings had increased by a terrifying amount, it was still just a 'fish'!
The items obtained from the lottery were the "fish" that the system had given him.
If the Great Tang relied solely on private savings, it could prosper for a while, but it was not a long-term solution.
Only by making good use of these 'fish' could the Great Tang truly advance!
It could be said that Li Tai's thoughts had never been on his private stash of money from the beginning.
Since he had come to the Great Tang, wouldn't it be…a pity if he didn't continue this prosperous Great Tang?
"Qingniao, keep an eye on the Turks."
"If there's any movement, report to me immediately.”
"Don't worry, Young Master. Lord Shen has already brought people north. If nothing unexpected happens, good news will come soon.”the green bird said softly.
"Yes."
Li Tai stretched out his arm lazily.
"That's good, that's good."
"How's the gunpowder factory?”
Li Tai asked again.
"Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Eunuch Cao is presiding over it, so I believe there won't be any mistakes.”The green bird was very obedient.
Li Tai understood.
"Young Master, the clan is looking for you.”
"The White Ice Platform has already been mobilized. The secret guards of the other families have also been mobilized.”
"Find?"
"Let them find it."
"They're just a bunch of trash."
As he spoke, Li Tai swung the fishing rod in his hand, but it missed again.
She pouted and stood up.
In his words, he did not put the things that the aristocratic families were proud of in his eyes at all.
"I'm tired. Go back and sleep."
"Oh right, tell the people in Chang 'an to pay attention to my mother's condition. If she falls ill, tell me immediately.”
Suddenly, Li Tai seemed to have thought of something and ordered.
"Understood!" The green bird quickly moved aside.
The two of them walked towards the carriage.
The green bird was half a body behind.
"Continue watching."
"I won't be going back to Chang 'an for the time being.”
"When will Young Master return?"
"Me? Hahaha…When I return, Chang 'an will have a new master.”
The two of them chatted casually and got into the carriage. Their voices could no longer be heard.
·································
In a teahouse in Chang 'an.
It was noisy inside.
"You guys don't know, but this Quyuan Plow is really powerful. I've seen it with my own eyes. In Guo Family Village, it doesn't even need oxen. Three people can pull it!”
"Really? So magical? No need to be bullsh * t, my mother, it's unbelievable!!!”
"This time, His Majesty has really brought something good to the world!!! In the future, the commoners might not even need to use cows to farm.”
"Yes, yes. If the sweet potatoes are real and can produce 30 catties per mu as His Majesty said, then it's really…amazing!”
" The world is in balance!!!"
"There are still many people waiting in front of the Vermillion Bird Sect, but they haven't sprouted yet.”
"Is that so? When it sprouts, I'll definitely go over and take a look. Damn it, 30 catties per mu, I don't even dare to think about it.”
“···········”
"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? Our Great Tang is going to hold the Imperial Examinations.”
"What? Imperial examinations? What is the imperial examination?"
"Don't you know about the imperial examinations? His Majesty just said it today. Now, the notices have been pasted all over the city gate. That is to say, children of the common people who study can also become officials.”
"Bullsh * t. How is that possible? A child from a poor family can participate in the imperial examination and become an official? This…This…This is ridiculous.”
"Who said it was nonsense? If you don't believe me, go out and take a look. The news has spread throughout Chang 'an.”
"Oh my God, is that true? I remember that in the previous dynasty, it was because the imperial examinations were lost that we only had a few days of peace. The world won't be in chaos again, right?”
"Who knows? But from the looks of it, His Majesty is determined.”
"Imperial examinations, this is a good thing, but…but there must be someone who is not happy. Otherwise, the previous dynasty would not have disappeared.”
"However, this imperial examination is really a great thing. It's a great thing. We commoners can also become officials!!!”
“··········”
In the teahouse, a group of customers were still excitedly discussing sweet potatoes and Qu Yuanli.
However, when the news of the imperial examination spread, the content of the discussion immediately changed.
Imperial examinations!
This had a huge impact on the people!
For the commoners, the selection system of filial piety and honesty completely sealed off the path of advancement for them.
The officials were all from aristocratic families.
But now!
The imperial examinations were about to begin again!
How could he not be excited!
The imperial examinations, pushed by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, swept through the entire Chang 'an like a wave.
In an instant, when the people of Chang 'an heard the news, they were all numb.
What was going on?
F * ck!
The imperial examination?
Was the imperial examination really going to be held?
His Majesty is going to reopen the imperial examinations?
The commoners were excited, especially those poor children who had been studying. They were so shocked that tears started to fall from their noses.
The seal was gone!
It was dawn!
In the past, they had nothing to do with Ju Xiao Lian. Only the rich and powerful could enjoy it.
However, with the imperial examinations, they would finally have a day to stand out!
At the same time, Chang 'an's originally bleak business suddenly welcomed a complete explosion.
Groups of commoners rushed to buy books.
······························
In the Li family's courtyard.
Back hall.
At this moment, there were many people sitting around.
It wasn't just Old Master Li, Old Master Cui, Old Master Lu, and the other clan leaders of the five surnames and seven surnames.
Xiao Yu, Pei Ji, Wang Gui, Chen Shuda, and the other leaders of the first-rate clans had also arrived.
It was all because of the imperial examinations!
"Li Erlang, is your brain really gone?”
"You dare to make such a stupid decision?”
"Has he really had enough of the throne?”
Old Master Li's voice was low and deep, mixed with endless anger.
Imperial examinations!
He hadn't heard these two words for more than ten years.
He remembered that the last time he heard it, it was accompanied by the destruction of a dynasty.
" He's really stubborn!!!"
"Dream on!"
"Humph!"
"You don't really think that the imperial examinations can weaken our clan, right?”
"Ridiculous!"
Old Master Cui shouted coldly.
"Ever since the imperial examination appeared, we have been preparing. I didn't expect that the second son of the Li family would really do the opposite again.”
"Since that's the case, you can't say that we don't care about the lives of the people in the world.”
Old Master Lu said slowly.
Everyone looked at Old Master Li.
They were waiting for his order.
The heritage of aristocratic families that could be passed down for thousands of years was no joke.
The last time the previous dynasty held the imperial examinations, the aristocratic families were caught off guard and had no choice but to plot to destroy the previous dynasty.
However, the price to pay was also huge.
Ever since the imperial examinations of the previous dynasty, the aristocratic family had been on guard against this matter.
All the books in the world, including the printing boards, were in the hands of the noble families.
It could be said that aristocratic families played a decisive role in the spread of culture!
Opening the Imperial Examination!
He had to use books!
However, if there were no books, why would they hold the imperial examination?
At that time, even if they had to bite the bullet and open it, there would not be a single book on the market. Wouldn't those who could get in be descendants of aristocratic families?
Besides, there weren't many books among the people.
This was because there was no way out of studying. In the eyes of the people, it was a waste of time.
What can I do after studying?
Didn't they still have to farm?
As for being an official?
Want to eat my ass.
It was useless even if one read through the heavens if they were not from a noble family!
Therefore, even if someone wanted to buy a book, they would only buy a few of the most common ones. They would not hide a whole set of books.
However, the imperial examination was not just one or two books!
As long as the noble clan gave the order to close all the bookstores, it would really be…cutting firewood from under the cauldron!!!
Basically, the imperial examination was eliminated.
It had to be said that this move was extremely vicious.
At that time, the people of the world would have no books and turn against the imperial court. It would have nothing to do with their aristocratic families.
However, this was the effect that the noble families wanted.
Old Master Li took a deep breath.
This was a big move that the clan had been holding back.
If he did, the world would be in chaos!
But now, since Li Shiming was ruthless, he didn't mind being even more ruthless.
"Good!"
"Close!"
" The sooner the better!!!"
"Not a single book is allowed to be sold!!”
Old Master Li said in a deep voice.
Everyone present heaved a sigh of relief.
Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Wang Gui, and the others looked at each other and revealed relaxed expressions. The solemnity from before instantly disappeared.
Li Shi Min, oh Li Shi Min, I really don't know if you're smart or stupid.
The clan had already suffered a loss on this matter once, but you still had to be stubborn.
This time, let's see how you clean up this mess.
If he couldn't handle it well, he would be demoted!
··························
When the Li Family Courtyard's decision was made.
In less than the time for an incense stick to burn, all the bookstores in Chang 'an were closed.
The large group of commoners who were fighting to buy books were completely stunned.
They still didn't know what had happened.
But why was this bookstore closed?
