Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 229 Are there volunteers?

There are very few times like this.

Li Shimin, Yi Yin, and Li Chengqian sat together to discuss major events in the world!

This is the first time.

It is also the most critical time.

Earlier, when Li Chengqian's foot was injured, Li Shimin had been observing Li Chengqian.

In Li Shimin's place, Li Chengqian must be carefully tested. If Li Chengqian can't persevere, it is not impossible to change the prince.

During that time, Li Chengqian was very impetuous, which made Li Shimin's inner thoughts shaken a little.

But now it seems that Li Chengqian has indeed improved a lot and matured a lot.

Especially the views and discussions on state governance have indeed risen to a higher level.

This made Li Shimin feel very relieved.

After all, he is the eldest son, if Li Chengqian is so sensible and smart, the idea of ​​changing the prince would be gone.

The three of them discussed until dawn, and they got tired.

Li Shimin insisted on going to court.

This made Yi Yin feel that being an emperor is also very tiring.

It's not that easy either.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said: "If you don't go to court for a day, you won't be able to know what happened in the court in time. Which state or county has drought, flood, injustice, etc., etc., all need to be dealt with in time."

"Father, my son will keep this in mind."

Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to prepare for the exam questions."

"This is a major event, we must pay attention to it." Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and said, "Within ten days, we must take out the test questions of the scientific examination."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin seemed to think of a question, and said: "Forget it, you should go to the court with me, there are still things to discuss."

Yi Yin originally wanted to go back to sleep, but Li Shimin unexpectedly asked him to participate in the discussion again.

That being the case, I had no choice but to go with Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian also went to listen together.

The thing to be discussed this morning is naturally the matter of scientific research.

Li Shimin looked at the crowd and said: "My love, the annual scientific examination is coming soon. Not long ago, after discussion, we changed the mode of this year's scientific examination and conducted the scientific examination according to the method proposed by Yi Yin. "

All the ministers listened, but kept whispering and discussing with each other.

Li Shimin looked at the crowd and said: "Since the selection of talents is carried out according to the method Yi Yin reformed, let Yi Yin come up with the questions."

"It's just that Yi Yin alone is responsible for such an important matter. Now select a few people to participate in this matter. Dear friends, have you volunteered?"

For this matter, there are still many people who are willing.

Because although Yi Yin changed the scientific examination system, the person who should be knighted this year has already been awarded, so it doesn't affect it.

However, there are also some people who think that their descendants will not be able to enjoy this kind of policy from now on, and they feel a little resentful in their hearts!

Many people were conflicted and did not speak. They could only wait for the emperor to announce their candidate.

Naturally, some people thought that even if they volunteered, they might not be able to get the question together with Yi Yin.

So he dismissed the idea.

Of course, there are also those who volunteered and recommended themselves.

For example, Cheng Yaojin is one.

"Your Majesty, although I am not an educated person, if possible, I would like to write a question with Yi Yin."

Everyone burst out laughing.

Cheng Yaojin didn't blush and his heart didn't beat.

"What are you laughing at?" Old Cheng looked at the crowd and said, "Didn't the emperor just say that you can volunteer, am I just following the emperor's will? It's not like you people are standing there dumbfounded. Do you want to disobey the emperor's will?"

These words made others seem to be unreasonable!
Everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin in surprise.

Li Shimin laughed, and said, "Old Cheng, it's not that I didn't agree to you to go, but you went and couldn't help Yi Yin much. Besides! I don't like you either."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean you don't like me?" Old Cheng looked at the Emperor unconvinced and asked.

Li Shimin chuckled, and said, "Old Cheng, don't get excited. This time, after Yiyin's restructuring, those who participated in the questioning must wait until the scientific examination is over before they can come out. Before that, they cannot come in and out at will. They are all locked up in a specific place, and they can only move about there every day.”

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he immediately said: "That's not okay, I'm used to being free and undisciplined, and I can't stand that kind of life."

Immediately, Cheng Yaojin returned to the crowd without saying a word, and never said a word again.

After Li Shimin said this, fewer people wanted to write questions with Yi Yin.

Everyone stood silent, waiting for the emperor to announce.

Li Shimin looked at the crowd and said, "Aren't you all willing to write questions with Yi Yin?"

The people were still silent.

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and said, "Yi Yin, just tell me, if you need help from a few people, I'll give you some help."

Yi Yin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, you don't need many people, just one or two is enough!"

Li Shimin heard the words and said: "That's easy to say, I'll just order two for you."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd, and then his eyes rested on Zhining and Kong Yingda.

"How about this, let the two adults Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda follow you to write the question, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Yin nodded and said, "That's fine, with the two of them together, it will indeed be a lot easier."

Li Shimin naturally knew that to send this kind of person, he must have a good relationship with Yi Yin, otherwise, how could he be able to do things.

Both Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda have a very good relationship with Yi Yin. Sending them to follow Yi Yin can not only do things well, but also exchange ideas. Both Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda can learn from Yi Yin Get some new ideas, when the time comes, the prince can benefit again.

This kind of thing kills two birds with one stone, Li Shimin has thought of it a long time ago, which can be regarded as extremely clever.

Li Shimin looked at Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining, and said, "My lords, from now on, the two of you will follow Yi Yin to discuss how to come up with this question."

Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda readily accepted.

Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I actually have a suggestion."

"Please speak." Li Shimin gestured with his hand.

Yi Yin said: "I think Master Yu and Master Kong will follow me to the Yihe Garden, and we will write the questions there. At that time, the two adults will follow me to live in the Yihe Garden until the end of the scientific examination."

"I promise, I will never leak the test questions." Yi Yin added.

Li Shimin heard the words and was about to speak when Xu Jingzong stood up.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. The Yihe Garden is so big that there are countless people coming and going every day. Who knows if Yi Yin will leak the topic?"

Feng Lun said: "That's right, no one can guarantee it unless a contract is signed."

Yuwen Shiji said: "Exactly, you can only do this if you sign a guarantee. Your Majesty, you must not trust Yi Yin!"

Yi Yin heard the words, and said: "Don't say these are useless, I, Yi Yin, promise that I will never leak the scientific examination questions. If it is leaked, I, Yi Yin, are willing to gamble with my life."

Yi Yin looked at Xu Jingzong and the others, and said, "But if I do it, what about you?"

Yi Yin never suffers. He never said that after I promise, what will happen to me, but if I do it, what will happen to you?

Xu Jingzong said: "How can we bet with you on this kind of thing?"

Yi Yin heard the words and said: "This is really strange, why can't you bet with me?"

Xu Jingzong said: "The main body of doing things is you three, we are just bystanders, if you do it, I can only say that the emperor can reward you with something."

"That's right!" Yuwen Shiji quickly added, "People in the court today can doubt the three of you. Our suspicion is not wrong. It is your mistake if you make a mistake. As long as you do nothing wrong, no one will I don't want you to be punished!"

Li Shimin looked at the crowd and said: "Don't quarrel, all lovers. Since everyone has doubts, I will announce now that if any scientific examination questions are leaked during this period, Yi Yin and even Zhi Ning and The three of Kong Yingda will be punished. If it is not leaked out, then everyone should not say anything about it."

Yuwen Shiji heard the words, and said: "It is your responsibility to protect the secrets of the test questions. How can you be rewarded for not revealing the test questions?"
