Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

Songtsen Gampo said happily, as if he had found a bosom friend.

"Of course it's true, it seems that we are really destined."

"Ok!"

Songtsan Gampo nodded vigorously.

The two turned around and went back to the entrance of the brothel. Looking at the smiling sister, Songtsan Gampo's eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Majesty is looking for you to go back. The imperial examination will start soon, and you haven't given these students any questions yet."

"All right!"

Li Wenhao looked at Songtsan Gampo apologetically, and sent him back to the post station, "Abu, I will come to you to be happy after I finish my work."

Returning to the palace in a hurry, Li Wenhao met Li Shimin in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Father!"

"Oh, isn't this our Mr. Li, you know you're back?"

Li Shimin mocked angrily.

"Everyone, just kidding, kidding, isn't this entertaining friends!"

"Well, I don't know about my brothel in Chang'an City. Are the friends of the prince satisfied?"

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, thanks to him watching Changsun Chong closely, otherwise...

"Okay, Dalang, the provincial examination is coming soon. You will preside over the imperial examination this time. What are the questions for this provincial examination?"

"Also, there will inevitably be some obstacles in the middle of the imperial examination, and these officials, you must control them well"

"The imperial examination is the most important thing. It is related to the future development of the Tang Dynasty. You must take care of this pass."

"Ok!"

Li Wenhao nodded solemnly. These officials must be selected carefully. If there is a problem with the examiners, then there may be problems with the scholars in this class.

Thinking of this, Li Wenhao and everyone in the Tai Chi Palace all turned their eyes to one person.

Wei Zheng!

"My colleagues, what do you mean?"

Wei Zheng felt a chill down his spine, no one could be calm and composed when he was stared at by such a group of big men like wolves and tigers.

"Wei Qing, this matter requires more effort from you!"

Li Shimin said earnestly, and all the ministers nodded accordingly.

It's not that they don't want to go, there's really no way to go, you know, after all, Wei Zheng is honest and honest, he has already gained a reputation outside, and no one can guarantee that he can really be a breeze if he is an outsider.

If you don't control yourself, you may be exiled for three thousand miles at the lightest, and this group of ministers can only think about it, they really can't do Wei Zheng's way of treating money like dung.

"Your Majesty, Prince, since I have trusted Wei, I must be meticulous, but when the time comes, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will have to trust each other."

Wei Zheng also did his part, no accident, he is the second in command of this imperial examination, and from a certain point of view, all the students who participated in this imperial examination can also be counted as his disciples.

"This time, there is not only a literary test, but also a military test. It will be even more wonderful if someone can win the first prize in both civil and martial arts."

"As for the candidates for the martial arts exam, they will be selected from our army in Hebei Province. From the centurion to the commander in chief, they will all be the examiners for this martial arts exam."

"The matter of martial arts is up to you to decide. After all, there has been no such thing as martial arts in the past dynasties."

"it is good!"

Li Wenhao returned to the East Palace and got busy again. Wei Zheng can hand over the Wen test, but the martial arts must be a warrior, and he must be a warrior who can live in the field.

It is possible to have these generals under his command, but it is impossible to send them to the whole Tang.

Moreover, martial arts is not as simple as the literary test. In addition to martial arts, martial arts also includes tactics, commanding, etc. You cannot judge a person based on the strength of martial arts. For example, Chen Qingzhi, although his martial arts is not as good as The owl ghost army is a commander, but who dares to underestimate him?

As far as his playing style is so annoying, which of the generals in Li Wenhao's army didn't raise their thumbs up and say hello?

"Elect one thousand commanders of centurions, one hundred commanders of thousands, and ten commanders of ten thousand, and let Li Cunxiao, Xue Li, Luo Song, Jia Fu, and Chang Yuchun come to Chang'an!"

"I really want to see how many heroes my Tang Dynasty has."

"Announcements are posted all over the country, whoever wins the martial arts this time will be awarded the fifth-rank general Zhechong! The second- and third-tier will be awarded the sixth-rank guard!"

"I'll see who can hold back!"

The corner of Li Wenhao's mouth raised slightly, what he wanted was to arouse the warrior's competitive spirit.

Let the two-way development of civil and military, so that later, just like in the Song Dynasty, a group of literati who did not understand military affairs could ride horses and surpass generals on the battlefield.

Li Wenhao wants to eliminate this possibility from the root. He can use military force, but he absolutely does not allow his own nation to be bullied.

Li Wenhao is still looking forward to this year's martial arts. The early Tang Dynasty belonged to an era of hero blowout, and it was also an era with the most demanding requirements for famous generals.

I think Qin Qiong's reputation was established at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and thanks to their early fame, otherwise they would have no chance now.

After all, in the early Tang Dynasty, the standard for a famous general was to destroy a country, and an indestructible country was not worthy of being a famous general. What was too much was that more than one country like Su Lie and Li Jing had been destroyed.

In such an era when heroes are born in large numbers, how can it be possible for the folks to have no masters?

Just when Li Wenhao was complacently preparing for the imperial examination and wedding, when he was preparing to welcome the double happiness, he was directly hit on the head.

Those aristocratic families actually stopped the exam collectively. This is clearly not cooperative, and it is also euphemistically called that the children in the family have shallow knowledge...

Chapter 290 What's wrong with the imperial examination?

"Prince, this is the list of families who refused to participate in the imperial examination. Among them, there are 35 families, big and small. This is not counting some areas that have not been counted."

"Moreover, there are rumors spreading outside, saying that the conditions that His Highness the Crown Prince set out for this imperial examination are completely false."

Wei Zheng came to the East Palace and said solemnly to Li Wenhao that the seriousness of the matter had exceeded his expectations.

At first, I thought it would be someone offering bribes at most, but I didn't expect these aristocratic families to directly put their resistance on the surface.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, Li Wenhao wants to touch people's roots.

"At the court tomorrow, give me a list of these aristocratic families"

"Here!"

Wei Zheng's eyes twitched. In the dark, he felt that the court, which had been calm for a long time, was about to cause waves again.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Wenhao wore the court uniform that belonged to his prince. In the court hall, those officials who were close to Li Wenhao knew that the prince was going to do something today, and they were all waiting for the big show to come on stage.

"If you have something to play early, if you have nothing to do, retreat!"

"Father, my son has recently presided over the imperial examinations, but he has indeed encountered many difficulties."

"Oh, the prince said everything, this imperial examination is a big deal, don't be ambiguous!"

Li Shimin pretended to be ignorant and said, usually as father and son cooperate so well, it is almost certain that someone will be unlucky, and someone will be unlucky.

"Returning to my father, my son-in-law promoted the imperial examination to give Confucian scholars all over the world a chance, a chance to show their ambitions, but there are 35 aristocratic families that strictly prohibit their students from participating in the imperial examination, and some even maliciously released rumors to slander the imperial examination."

"The situation is serious. My son dare not make a decision, so I ask my father to make a decision!"

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Li Shimin directly threw the burden on these courtiers. Many of these courtiers belonged to aristocratic families. It would be strange if they could come up with a good solution.

"Your Majesty, the ministers believe that the imperial examination is the way to rejuvenate the country. If anyone dares to block it, they must be severely punished to set the record straight!"

Changsun Wuji came up and fired directly, and the people from the aristocratic families who heard him jumped up, because he hugged Li Shimin and Li Wenhao's thighs, he can be unscrupulous, but those other aristocratic families can't.

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree with what the eldest grandson said!"

"The so-called imperial examinations are nothing more than small Daoer, a group of mountain farmers, and ordinary people in the market, do you know what it means to govern a country?"

"Do you understand what people's livelihood is?"

"Not advisable, not advisable!"

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, an official from an aristocratic family retorted.

"Master Zhao means that Master Zhao understands?"

"As far as I know, when Mr. Zhao was in Jingzhou, he seemed to have been demoted by His Majesty once because of water control. Otherwise, you would not be just a fourth rank now."

Changsun Wuji said with a half-hearted smile, completely exposing his shortcomings.

"If it's as Mr. Zhao said, why didn't you manage the water well?"

"As far as I know, the water control plan was proposed by a schoolteacher in the countryside, but Mr. Zhao, you can't see how others are good!"

"Not only did I put all the credit on myself, but also for the sake of keeping it secret, I wiped out the whole family of the teacher. Am I right or not?"

Changsun Wuji directly took out a booklet from his arms.

"Your Majesty, this is when Mr. Zhao was controlling the floods, all the money from ink, including project funds, was used to provide compensation to the common people. Mr. Zhao is really ruthless!"

After the eunuch brought the things to Li Shimin, Li Shimin flipped them casually, his face became extremely gloomy, all the courtiers knew that the court that had just been quiet for two years was about to see blood again.

And it doesn't matter what is written in this booklet, because what Changsun Wuji said is the truth, he can't use the imperial examination to exclude dissidents, and he doesn't need to exclude dissidents.

"Zhao Qing, it's a shame that I trusted you so much and let you be the Jingzhou appeasement envoy. I didn't expect that you would use the emperor's order to wantonly collect the people's fat and people's anointing, greedy for money for water treatment, what crime should you say?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of death, death penalty!"

Zhao Qing directly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Shimin desperately.

"Since you know the death penalty, let's go!"

"Beheaded outside the Meridian Gate, his family property was confiscated, and his family members were exiled for three thousand miles"

Li Shimin waved his hand, giving Zhao Qing a result, but the imperial examination was not over yet.

Li Wenhao dismissed those trembling officials, grinned, and stood up.

"Everyone, is this what you call a learned person?"

"He couldn't control the flood, but he was still greedy for money. In the end, a teacher from the countryside helped him to calm down the flood."

"Is this what you said there are no capable people among the people?"

"Is this the country man you look down on?"

"I think you are the real mediocre people"

"I'll just ask you guys, do you have any opinions on the imperial examination?"
