Li Shimin was a little shocked by what Qin Ming just said.
Although what Qin Ming said was relatively simple and rough, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he deeply understood the beauty of Qin Ming's method.
He had also thought before about whether there would be Jiangnan Road, or even Lingnan Road, and whether there would be students who would not come to Chang'an to take the scientific examination because of the long distance.
I also thought about ways to enable more children from poor families to participate in the imperial examination.
But there has been no good method, but Qin Ming's method suddenly opened up his mind.
He could imagine that if this method was implemented, it would surely inspire more scholars to be enthusiastic about taking scientific examinations.
Dividing the imperial examination into three levels not only reduced the difficulty of participating in the imperial examination, but the first two college examinations and rural examinations also conducted a preliminary screening of scholars in each county.
In this way, people with poor talents will not have to rush to Chang'an, and people with good talents will have the confidence to come to Chang'an to participate in the examination.
Moreover, the imperial court can also issue decrees to give preferential treatment to those who pass the college examination and the provincial examination. In this case, it will be easier for these people who pass the examination to come to Chang'an to participate in the future examination.
The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more excited he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Qin Ming's method was suitable for the imperial court to select talents.
"Wonderful, it's really wonderful. My nephew, this method is very wonderful. How did you come up with it?"
As Li Shimin spoke, he looked towards Qin Ming. When he looked at him, he realized that Qin Ming was no longer in his seat.
He glanced around the banquet hall, but Qin Ming and Si Zi were nowhere to be seen. Qin Ming was the first person who ran away after chatting with him since he ascended the throne.
But at this time, he couldn't care less about blaming Qin Ming. At this time, he wanted to hear if Qin Ming had any other thoughts about the imperial examination.
So he quickly got up and left the banquet hall.
When Qin Ming saw Li Shimin deep in thought, he carried Si Zi out of the banquet hall.
Anyway, he had said everything he wanted to say, and Qin Ming was not going to say anything else. He believed that as long as Li Shimin was not stupid, he would definitely propose it to him with the ministers and make it perfect.
He carried Si Zi around the mansion, but could not see his fiancée.
So he carried Si Zi back to the front hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Qin Ming saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun already sitting on the main seats.
Qin Ming quickly put down his son, walked to the middle of the hall, saluted Li Shimin and Queen Changsun and said:
"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, it's getting late. It's been two days since my nephew came out. My grandfather is still at home waiting for me to come back. My nephew will stay soon."
Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, because he still wanted to talk to Qin Ming about the imperial examination, so he tried to persuade him:
"My dear nephew, it's still early. Let's rest for a while before leaving. My uncle wants to talk to you about the imperial examination again."
When the eldest grandson heard this, he had just heard from Li Shimin about Qin Ming's views on the imperial examination. She was also surprised by this. She did not expect that Qin Ming could actually propose such a unique and appropriate imperial examination system.
She smiled and said to Qin Ming:
"Yes, my dear nephew, it's still early. It's hard for you to come to the house. Please stay for a while before leaving."
Qin Ming naturally saw what Li Er and Queen Changsun were thinking. It's just that when he was despised by Li Er just now, he had already decided not to give Li Er any advice.
What's more, he felt that these two people were a bit unrealistic, as they had obviously betrothed their daughter to him. As a result, this Chinese New Year guy didn't even want to let me see him. Instead, he just wanted to make money for himself. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
He pretended to think deeply, and then said with some regret:
"Uncle Li, my nephew has told you all his thoughts just now. Besides, you and I are both commoners. The matters of the court will be discussed by the Holy One with the ministers. Besides, the Holy One is smarter and wiser than you and me. There are so many things that we can think of, His Majesty must also be able to think of. You, don’t worry too much.”
After speaking, he turned to Queen Changsun and said:
"Aunt, my nephew really has to go back. My grandfather is old and he suffered a lot from my uncle in the past few years. I have to go back and spend more time with him."
After hearing Qin Ming's words, Empress Changsun and Li Shimin had no choice but to nod and agree.
A few moments,
Qin Ming took Xiao Changxi to the door of the mansion. Before leaving, Qin Ming told Yue Chan that the fireworks he sent should be placed in a dry place and kept away from open flames, otherwise they would easily cause fires. .
After Jian Yuechan wrote down all the precautions, she got into the carriage with Xiao Changxi.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Qin Ming immediately pulled Xiao Changxi into his arms, looked at Xiao Changxi with a smile and said:
"Are you tired from the past two days? Do you want to sleep in the master's arms for a while?"
Xiao Changxi was used to Qin Ming's closeness. She leaned against the car wall, smiled and shook her head, and then said:
"I'm not tired. On the contrary, Master, if you are tired, you can rest against me for a while."
Qin Ming smiled and hugged Xiao Changxi's slim waist and kissed her on the forehead.
The two hugged each other tightly, and the carriage was quiet. After a while, Qin Ming suddenly asked:
"Xi'er, can you sing?"
Xiao Changxi looked at Qin Ming a little shyly when she heard this. When Xiao Changxi was young, the family specially asked someone to teach her how to sing in order to send her to the palace. However, in all these years, she had never sung for any man.
When Qin Ming asked, she looked at the carriage, hesitated and said:
"My family knows some Jiangnan tunes. If the young master wants to hear them, I can sing them to you when you return home."
In fact, the main reason why Qin Ming asked Xiao Changxi this question was because it had been almost half a year since he came to this world, and Qin Ming felt that his memory of future generations was getting blurry. This situation made him a little scared. He was afraid that one day, he would become a complete Tang Dynasty person. He is even more afraid that one day, he will forget all those people and things in future generations.
So he thought that while he could still recall some songs from later generations, he could teach them to the people around him.
In this way, occasionally letting them listen to the songs of later generations can also remind themselves of the people and things in the past through these songs of later generations.
Thinking of this, he reached out and took off Xiao Changxi's veil, and then said softly:
"Xi'er, I'll teach you a few songs. When you have time later, can you sing them to me?"
Xiao Changxi nodded when she heard this. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She felt that Qin Ming's eyes seemed to have a hint of loneliness and sadness at this time.
But before she could think about it, Qin Ming's warm singing sounded in the carriage.
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine."
"I wonder what year it is today in the palace in the sky."
(Faye Wong’s version, if you haven’t heard it, you can give it a listen.)
“When people in the audience walk by, they don’t see the old color.”
"The people on the stage were singing, a heartbreaking farewell song."
"In troubled times, duckweed endures to watch the flames of war burn the mountains and rivers."
"I dare not forget to worry about my country despite my humble position."
