Because almost everyone rejected the solicitations from these wealthy families, including but not limited to funding or marriage. In fact, except for those who were born in wealthy families themselves, no one else had ever succeeded.
Because time is not short, and in more than two months, there are not a few wealthy families who have come into contact with these people.
These young officials did not choose to refuse because of this incident, because they could refuse because they had not agreed yet.
In two months, if you were not strong-willed, you might have agreed long ago.
After all, getting married may require choosing a good and auspicious day and six rituals, but collecting money does not.
How could the marriage between various aristocratic families not be sponsored? If there was a promise, the money would have been sent long ago, and even the flowers could be spent a lot. After receiving the money, there is no way to refuse some things. Now that they can still refuse, it proves that they have not promised.
This is a great thing in itself. More than two months is not a short time. Being able to avoid being tempted for such a long time already shows their excellence.
In other words, this has shown how powerful these people selected by His Highness are.
…
Li Shimin was not involved in this matter from beginning to end, but after learning the final answer, Li Shimin became somewhat silent. When he first learned that Li Ke had no reaction, Li Shimin thought he had no better way, or that he had prepared some follow-up moves.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Ke was not ready to take action at all, or in other words, he had left all the choices to these young people in a grand manner. Even Li Shimin didn't know where Li Ke got the confidence.
Does he really believe that these young officials will not be corrupted? It is true that if this incident had not happened, perhaps these young officials could have resisted for a month, two months, or half a year, but in one or two years, three to five years, there would always be a fall within them.
Now, this incident may have set them on a different path.
More importantly, it will have a greater impact on students who have not yet taken the exam! They will be inspired like never before, and they will even be filled with enthusiasm. Li Shimin knows very well how passionate that young man is in his heart.
Now all opportunities are in front of them. When they take the exam next year, or when they continue to take the exam in the next two years, the new batch of young officials will become more confident, and they will make Datang even better!
This is the most important thing. Li Ke may seem to have done nothing, but in fact, what he did this time achieved a more direct and clear effect than any method Li Shimin had thought of before.
It's the same as killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, but this trick is obviously more clever.
However, Li Shimin also felt a little emotional. It seemed that he really had nothing to teach Li Ke. He is already very mature, and even if it were him, he might not have a better way to deal with such a method.
Just this unyielding and immovable style of everyone already has the demeanor of an emperor.
Tsk tsk, he is indeed my son, Li Shimin, and he is quite as generous as me.
That's fine, he has made preparations himself, so that I don't worry that he won't be able to sustain the situation. With this big heart, after knowing what I do, he will be able to sustain the overall situation.
Good son, good son!
…
Unlike Li Shimin, Li Chengqian had already come to Li Ke. After meeting, Li Chengqian was full of praise.
"Sanlang, you are worthy of it. To be honest, although I wanted to be a villain at first, I didn't expect to be able to solve it so perfectly. Sure enough, I am still not as good as you in handling these things." Li Chengqian said with emotion.
"Brother, I'm serious. These things are emergencies. It's the same for anyone sitting in this position." Li Ke said with a helpless smile. In fact, he really didn't do anything. He just believed in them. .
But when something like this happens, it can only be said that some things are destined to happen, and even if there is no follow-up this time, it is estimated that there will be another one in the future.
Some people always take chances.
After all, in later generations, serious punishments such as the death penalty for 50 grams did not stop so many people from taking risks, and Li Ke's case was nothing.
"Looking at what you said, I have also been reported on this matter. Why didn't I think of a way to deal with it immediately?" Li Chengqian shook his head, "By the way, if there is anything you need to do later, you can directly tell me."
"I understand. Big brother has nothing to do. Now let's see when the war situation in Silla will have a new result. I'm afraid there won't be too many things this year. The most important thing this year is to deal with the Japanese country. civil war, and to deal with Silla's affairs, but these two matters are estimated to have reached the end of the year." Li Ke shook his head.
If you think about it carefully, there are actually quite a lot going on, and the war over at Mononobe Village is probably about to come to an end. The main reason was that Mononobe Murakata was too ruthless. His actions to kill all the nobles finally made these nobles unite, including the emperor.
This is also the reason why the pace of the war began to slow down after Mononobe Murashita invaded Akitsu Island.
Although ten thousand people are considered a large army in the entire Japanese country, when these nobles are unable to unite, the number of people they can mobilize is naturally far more than the ten thousand army, even if these so-called armies have no way to compete with Monobe Murakata compared to the army.
But no matter what, if these people involve energy, it is enough.
Therefore, Mononobe Murashita had to slow down, but fortunately, he had already captured the two largest islands in Japan, Chikushi Island and Niina Island, which were later known as Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island. Now he has set foot on Akitsu Island, also known as Honshu Island.
And this is the last territory of the emperor and nobles, and the number of Japanese people who are coerced by these emperors and nobles is also very large. Now the progress of the war in Monobe Village is considered good if it can end this year.
"Indeed, these two matters are major events related to the future strategy of the Tang Dynasty and cannot be ignored." Li Chengqian nodded and said, "But these things will probably have to trouble you, Sanlang. Now I can only watch you and dad busy every day , I want to help but I am really powerless.”
"It's okay, brother, just do your best. In fact, if you are dealing with government affairs and you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly. I will definitely tell you everything." Li Ke hesitated for a moment, and then said tactfully.
