"Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape. Those who can win due to changes in the enemy are called gods. Therefore, the five elements have no permanent victory, the four seasons have no permanent positions, the sun has its short and long days, and the moon has its life and death..."
"The Gale Dynasty is currently in a predicament. The central power is weak, but the branches are strong. The vassal kings and the aristocratic families support their own troops. If you want to solve it, you must break it and then establish it. Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, frighten the power of the heroes, and govern a big country like cooking small fresh food..."
"..."
The more Li Yi looked at it, the more surprised he became. This was in perfect agreement with his own thoughts. If it weren't for the calligraphy written in thin gold, he would have doubted that this kid was also a time traveler, right?
At present, many Confucian disciples and even some officials of the current government cannot see clearly the current predicament of the Dafeng Dynasty, and believe that the reasons for hindering the Dafeng Dynasty are attributed to the family members and the feudal kings.
Of course, there are reasons for this, but it is by no means the fundamental reason.
The fundamental reason lies in the popular sentiment.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
The most fatal thing is that the people of the world have lost confidence in the imperial court.
Only by completely solving the problem of food and clothing for the people and regaining the hearts and minds of the people is the most fundamental thing.
But to solve these two problems, we must first solve the problem of land annexation.
Nowadays, the scholars of the Dafeng Dynasty do not pay taxes, the vassal kings do not pay taxes, and the aristocratic families do not pay taxes. All taxes are borne by the people. This is the root of the problem of the Dafeng Dynasty.
But this student named Qin Jin was able to hit the nail on the head and pointed out the root of the problem. He also proposed solutions and military training methods. He also boldly made the traitor Zhu Chongyuan and Prince Fu his primary targets, and also detailed the use of troops. Note.
After a long time.
Li Yi took a long breath, his eyes full of surprise, and carefully closed the roll.
In addition to shock, my mind was still shocked.
He suddenly came up with an unrealistic idea. If this son cannot be used by me, he will be killed!
This shows how amazed he was by the great talent Qin Jin.
"Your Majesty, is it true as I said? This son is a great talent in governing the country!" Cao Fengyang has always been serious about his words, and he has never praised anyone before. Today, he was the only one who praised this new talent.
Sun Tingzong also praised: "This man really comes from a poor family. He has a deep understanding of the sufferings of the people at the bottom, and he also agrees with His Majesty's ideas."
Li Yi nodded, his eyes flickering, neither cold nor indifferent, "Indeed."
This man indeed has great talent, but he dares not put it to great use. Who knows whether he is talented but not virtuous, or whether he is talented but virtuous?
If you have talent and virtue, that is certainly the best. But what if you have talent but no virtue?
Who knew that Ning Wen's group of sycophants were once passionate young people full of ambitions and ambitions, bent on doing things for the court and serving the people.
The boy who once slayed dragons finally turned into a dragon.
Other ministers also chimed in and praised Qin Jin.
Only Xu Hou had a unique vision and could see Li Yi's concerns and worries, but he couldn't express them clearly.
He immediately said: "Your Majesty, since he has a great talent, he should put it to great use. But as I see it, jade cannot be made into a weapon if it is not cut into pieces. It needs to be cut into pieces with thousands of knives before you can achieve anything. It is better to let him experience a little or two, and then Make a decision."
Li Yi smiled knowingly, but didn't show it on his face. He nodded and said, "That's okay, just as you say."
"Let the top scorer, second pick, and top scorer in the current martial arts exam enter the palace."
"I want to see with my own eyes how talented this talented student is."
"promise!"
Soon, the three of them entered the hall together.
This is the first time that His Majesty has selected talents on a large scale across the country since he took office, and these people will become disciples all over the world. Their future prospects are limitless, and other ministers cannot help but take a high look at them.
Nowadays, most of the civil and military officials in the court, especially those in positions of power, are Li Yi's close ministers. Most of them come from poor families, and few are from aristocratic families.
Therefore, when meeting these children from poor families, not only is there no discrimination, but it feels like fellow villagers meeting fellow villagers.
Even Li Yi felt particularly cordial when he saw them, perhaps because he also had a humble heart deep in his soul.
Especially for this young man named Qin Jin, he was even more delighted.
Qin Jin was wearing a Confucian scholar's robe that was gray and white. Although it was old, it was very clean. It looked like the kind of clothes he had worn for a long time.
He is indeed a boy from a poor family.
"Student Qin Jin pays homage to your majesty, long live your majesty." Qin Jin knelt down with three others.
"Pingshen." Li Yi nodded.
Of course, since it's an interview, it's natural to ask a few questions, at least to know what these students' language expression skills are like and what their stress response is like. It would be embarrassing to call them in.
Li Yi asked one by one, starting from the number one scholar, and then when he asked Qin Jin, his tone suddenly changed and asked: "Raise your head."
Qin Jin responded and slowly raised his head. He looked very delicate, with wise eyebrows, but a little thin. He had the temperament of a scholar at heart.
It's just that I'm a little nervous and a little impatient.
Being an official for one term is a taboo, being impatient is a big taboo.
Li Yi looked at him for a long time, muttering in his heart. For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with this kid.
It's that feeling of not being worthy of being trusted. I don't know how many times I have saved Li Yi from danger, but this feeling has always been accurate.
"Are you Qin Jin?" Li Yi asked.
"Yes, the student is Qin Jin."
"Well..." There was another long drawl.
After a long silence, Li Yi asked again, "Your test questions are good and I like them, but you still need more experience."
"You are not yet ready to join the army as a general. It is better to start as a soldier and familiarize yourself with everything in the army, and then make other arrangements. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the Beijing camp to report."
"Do you understand?"
"You two too."
Hearing this, Sun Tingzong and Cao Fengyang's expressions changed slightly, and they all defended Qin Jin. It's easy to say, how can the top three in the imperial examination be allowed to become soldiers? Isn't this humiliating?
His Majesty changed too quickly. He was very complimentary just now, but he changed in the blink of an eye.
Even Xu Hou didn't expect Li Yi to be so ruthless, and he immediately reached the bottom.
The other two people looked shocked, but then accepted it happily. Only Qin Jin, Li Yi's most promising student, was not dissatisfied.
Looking directly at Li Yi without any respect, he could only say with disappointment and reluctance: "Your Majesty, may I ask what's wrong with the student?"
This sentence was already a bit disrespectful, and the official who was about to plead for the three of them was also startled.
Is this kid crazy? He is so bold that he dares to question the emperor today?
"There is nothing wrong with you." Li Yi was very unhappy and replied coldly: "I think you are inadequate."
"What's missing?"
Li Yi was really angry and said angrily: "If I say you are insufficient, you are insufficient. There is no reason!"
Without agreeing, Qin Jin just lowered his head. It was obvious that he was very unconvinced.
The main reason is that the gap is too big. He originally thought that because of his knowledge and talent, he could not say that he was reused, so he should be rewarded as a general, a dignified flower scout, who could see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
But the result...
At this moment, the mountain in his heart completely collapsed and shattered to pieces.
Li Yi invisibly shattered his dream, his passion and ambition.
The dissatisfaction in his heart made him full of anger and it was difficult to vent. Finally, he gritted his teeth and continued to fight unwillingly: "Your Majesty, if students go to the bottom to serve as soldiers, there is no need to waste years of hard study. Maybe Your Majesty might consider it. Students who join the army as generals will never let down His Majesty’s love.”
Hearing this, Li Yi sighed silently, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes. The student he valued most had disappointed him.
It is undeniable that this man has great talent, but his temperament is unstable and he is eager for success and quick gain.
But the most important thing for a general is to keep his face unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him.
There are many examples of one general being incompetent and exhausting an army to death.
Such a character, on the battlefield, will kill countless soldiers and cause serious trouble.
Li Yi's eyes were even colder, he had completely lost hope in him, it was hard for him to take on a big responsibility.
Not everyone is a champion. He is unruly, arrogant, and hastily visited the north.
More people are ordinary.
But the most taboo thing is a person who has some talent and is proud of others.
It is undeniable that such people can achieve great things, but they can also make big mistakes.
at this time.
Sun Tingzong and others also suddenly realized that His Majesty had already figured it out and was just testing Qin Jin.
Li Yi was already impatient and treated him coldly, "You are not the first person who dares to roar in my Jinluan Palace, but you are the only one who is still alive so far."
"Last time, the man's name was Ning Wen, Minister of the Ministry of War. Now his body is gone."
The shocking murderous intention suddenly fell on Qin Jin's head. He was so frightened that he woke up instantly. At the same time, he was immediately stunned and kowtowed.
Finally, Li Yi gave him a message, "You can leave. If you want to stay, go to the Beijing camp and report, otherwise, get out!"
