Li Shimin next to him also had a strange look on his face when he heard this, and he was really pleased in his heart. He is worthy of being the son who looks most like me, Li Shimin. Not only does he look similar, his talent is almost three points ahead of mine.
This person has actually mastered the key to the struggle between the court and his subordinates. This started to set up factions for both sides. Of course there are factions above the court. It would be too strange that there are no factions above the court.
Previously, Fang Xuanling and others were considered a faction, Changsun Wuji and others were considered a faction, and Wei Zheng was not included. As for the generals, except for a few, everyone else was very close to these two factions. .
Now Li Ke has learned this trick, and he is still self-taught, and this method is even more skillful. Not only the court, but everyone in the world must let them compete with each other. This requires competition, and this requires competition. If you have political achievements and achievements, don’t you have to study hard?
In any case, the final result is obviously a good thing for the court and the people.
The point is to give them a way to vent their inner anger, resentment and various conflicts, don't you feel comfortable? If you are unhappy, I will directly overwhelm you at work and government affairs to let you know that you are trash.
Isn't this great? The emotions have been vented, and after the emotions have been vented, the conflict will naturally get better.
Tsk tsk, he is indeed my son, Li Shimin, he is indeed excellent.
Sure enough, like father, like son!
"Well, what Li Ke said makes sense. Since the three of you have agreed, let's carry out this matter like this. I think this is not bad. We can't let these wealthy families feel cold. We must give them a performance. Chance."
"These aristocratic families have been strong for thousands of years, so they can't be worse than the common people, poor families, and students with no background from merchant families, right? If they are really worse, doesn't this also prove that the current policy of the imperial court is not wrong? ?"
"If they are unable to compete in the future, then there will be no need for the imperial examination system and the selection system. At that time, Zhongshu Province will directly legislate to cancel the traditional imperial examination system and implement a new examination system. "Li Shimin said directly.
Changsun Wuji and the other three were a little speechless. My Majesty, you feel that you are about to resign, and you have found the right opportunity to resign, so you don't care, you just come to enjoy it, right?
Why are you adding fuel to the fire?
Although when His Highness held the national examination, the imperial examination system existed in name only in the eyes of many wealthy families. Everyone was mentally prepared and knew what the future would be like, but you said this.
If the abolition of the imperial examination system is thrown onto the aristocratic families themselves, it would be strange if they were not crazy.
After all, it would be a good thing if they were kept, because only they could participate in the imperial examination system, which was equivalent to giving themselves a stable channel for advancement.
It's better than having to compete with more and more tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of candidates from all over the world, right?
"Father, the Holy Ming." Li Ke happily saluted Lao Li, or maybe our father knew that he cared about his son. This was indeed a positive response. No wonder it is said in history that Li Shimin was the emperor who was the best at accepting remonstrances. This must be the case. .
After our father passes away in the future, Li Ke must let the history books follow.
Where can I find such a caring father? Must blow up.
"Okay, okay, now that it's been decided, let's implement it. Compared to your exam, the imperial examination is just a small undertaking. The number of people is not large, but it is about its specific test questions. What should I do? Yes Are you going to continue to come up with the questions?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and asked.
"Of course, leave it to the people from the Imperial College to handle it. Let the Ministry of Education be responsible. Since it is an imperial examination, it is natural to respect tradition and just follow the traditional examination questions." Li Ke said simply road.
"Okay, I have no objection. Just follow this, Fang Xuanling." Li Shimin agreed directly.
Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with him. Li Shimin suddenly felt so good. He could do whatever he wanted without caring what these powerful families thought. The reason was too simple.
Because there is no shortage of officials in the Tang Dynasty now, these powerful families are not so important, and the demand relationship between the two parties is naturally different now.
Since it's different, of course the imperial court can do whatever it wants. Isn't that okay? Think about the injustices I suffered back then.
Our son is the best, tsk tsk.
"Yes." Fang Xuanling bowed helplessly and said salute. Fortunately, his sons are basically old enough, but Wei Zheng's son is still of appropriate age. I don't know if his son will take part in the imperial examination.
After a while, I had to ask Wei Xuancheng.
"I've decided on this matter. Now that I've decided on other things, it doesn't matter. Do you have anything else?" Li Ke asked.
"No, will you start promoting it now?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"Let's publicize it at the next court meeting, isn't it two days later? Just publicize it like this then. As for other aspects, you don't need to worry about it for the time being. Just let Datang Weekly do it."
"The specific exam time will be held on February 25 next year in Chang'an. As many people as possible can participate this time." Li Ke thought for a while and said, "There are still almost four months left, give them enough time." sufficient preparation time.”
"Perhaps the war situation in the east will also take on a new dimension by then. By then Datang will have a new territory, and what will be missing is officials to manage the local area."
"Yes!" Fang Xuanling and the other three took a deep breath and agreed.
What His Majesty said before is correct. There are not many people in the imperial examination, and the scale is not large. It is not comparable to the national examination conducted by His Highness before.
With the previous experience of national examinations, it would be much easier to conduct the imperial examination.
The key point now is that they are also somewhat helpless and want to know, what are the reactions of these powerful families in the Tang Dynasty when they know this news? Do they participate or not.
If you don't participate...it's probably impossible.
The three of them quickly left the Xuanzheng Hall. After leaving, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask: "Will your Erlang attend?"
"Participate, why don't you participate?" Wei Zheng said directly without hesitation.
"Is it possible that you don't want to participate?" Wei Zheng glanced at Fang Xuanling in surprise, "You don't know how. If we don't participate in such an important matter, wouldn't it be impossible to show His Majesty's importance to this imperial examination? So Not only Wei Shuyu, but also Sanlang Wei Shuwan must participate."
"Well, if that's the case, then I'll let Fang Yize and Fang Yiyi go." Fang Xuanling hesitated and said helplessly.
