Chapter 102 Strange Peaks Under

Li Xian's figure is not high. Although because of practicing martial arts, he is much stronger than ordinary teenagers, but after all, he has not developed yet. He is just a young man, and his walking posture is not too large. Some are just steady, but he often walks out, but it gives people An irresistible power, not only the courtiers who were talking nonsense, but also Gaozong couldn't help feeling a little stunned. The bright smile on his face was stiff. As for the prince Li Hong, he was even more angry because of nervousness, and an originally pale handsome face rose in an instant. Red.

"Does Xian'er also have something to do about the river work?"

I don't know if it was because of nervousness. Before Li Xian came to the hall, Gao Zong opened his mouth and asked.

"In my father's words, I thought that the prince's brother had played a lot about the river work, and it must be a great benefit to the society. I beg my father to judge." Li Xian ignored the surprised eyes of the courtiers, went straight to the hall, bowed to Gao Zong, and replied respectfully.

"Well, okay, very well, do you have anything else to do about this?"

Gao Zong still wants to support the prince in his private heart. The reason why the Li Xian brothers entered the dynasty is actually just a check and balance, but it does not mean that Gao Zong really wants to change horses. Before this early morning, the prince skillfully created a gap, broke away the eunuchs such as Gao Hesheng, and handed over the folds to Gao Zong in advance. After careful reading, Gao Zong deeply thought that he was willing to cooperate with Li Hong in the last big play in the court. The only doubt was that he was afraid that the two kings would rise up and fight. Previously, Li Xian stood up. Ji, Gao Zong was indeed worried, but he didn't expect that Li Xian actually agreed with the prince's book, which made Gao Zong secretly happy, but he was not very relieved, just because Li Xian had not yet made a statement. At this time, as soon as he heard that Li Xian also agreed to the prince's book, Gao Zong's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and his excitement was overflowing.

"Your Majesty, I have no objection."

Of course, there are objections. Not to mention that the party of the Empress Dowager Wu doesn't want the prince to control the matter of river work, even the ministers who have enough weight in the court are greedy for such a fat man like the governor of the river. There is no need to be too greedy. Just do it casually. The difference of more than ten thousand flowers is definitely indispensable. It's strange that it's not to be jealous. But at this time, who dares to jump out and sing the opposite tune? Didn't you see that even Li Xian and Brother have given in? At present, there is no second choice except praise.

"Okay, since the ministers and workers agree, I have approved this discount. Where is Yang Wulian?" At this sight, all the ministers had no objection, and Gao Zong's spirit was immediately shaken, raised his tone, and directly named Yang Wulian's name.

"I'm there!"

As a general craftsman, Yang Wulian is a senior official from the third grade. His rank is not low, but because of his position, he actually does not have much voice in the court. In the past, he rarely appeared in the court. However, when the court is discussed, he is just an bystander. At the time when there was a big dispute over the river industry in the previous morning, He was already moved and wanted to make a difference in the matter of river work. However, at that time, the political struggle was quite fierce. Yang Wulian did not dare to make a difference, so he could only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. After he was scattered, he was not idle. He went straight to the East Palace to help the prince make a good plan. The fold played by the prince was actually Since Yang Wulian's idea, the purpose is to get the river workers. Now, the dynasty has agreed that the governor of the river will be taken. Yang Wulian is so excited that he can't hold on. When he heard Gao Zong's name, he almost rushed out of the queue, and his old face was as red as a monkey's buttocks.

"Yang Aiqing, the prince Bao is in charge of the river work. Do you dare to do it?"

Yang Wulian has always been responsible for building royal buildings such as palaces and gardens. He has always appreciated his ability. He also has high hopes for him to be the governor of the river this time. However, the superficial article that should be done still needs to be done below, so he asked with a smile.

"With your majesty's love, I will do it to the death, and I will live up to the high expectations of your majesty and the prince." In the hope of the lack of fat, Yang Wulian would not excuse himself, but answered with gratitude.

"Okay, I remember Aiqing's words. I will give you a will after turning back. Remember that the river fortifications are related to the safety of the court. Aiqing must not take it lightly. I hope that Aiqing can make great achievements as soon as possible." Gao Zong was obviously satisfied with Yang Wulian's statement. He nodded with a smile and praised him.

"The old minister thanked my emperor for his kindness, and I should repay him with his death." Yang Wulian's wish was fulfilled. With great joy, he kowtowed several times, and then he retreated to the side and went away happily alone.

"Huh? Is there anything else you want to play?"

Seeing that the matter of the river work was so smooth, Gao Zong was so happy that he looked around at the ministers in the hall. Just as he wanted to say more words of encouragement, he suddenly found that when the previous courtiers retreated one after another, Li Xian actually stood still and did not move. He couldn't help but be stunned and looked suspiciously at his awe-inspiring face. Li Xian asked hesitantly.

"In the words of my father, I do have this chapter to play."

Li Xian bowed respectfully, and then took out a yellow silk masked fold from his wide sleeves, held it in his hands, raised it high above his head, and answered calmly.

"Ah, this, okay, Xian'er will play it if he has a book."

Gao Zong handed over the river work matter to the prince this time. In fact, he was really ashamed of the Li Xian brothers, who took the lead in raising the river work matter. He did have the intention to compensate the little brothers, but he was afraid that Li Xian would work on the river work at this time, and he couldn't help but be a little hesitant and uneasy, but Li Xian was already standing in the hall. He won, but it was not good to prevent Li Xian from speaking. After hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth.

"Thank you, my father, Huang Long's kindness. What my ministers wrote is the matter of the imperial examination. I inherited the previous Sui in the imperial examination, and it was easier to be more tired for three generations. Since Gaozu, I have accumulated 15 times. There are only a hundred scholars in one subject, but there is no talent in the world? In fact, if it's not true, why don't you see the folk pearls? Why is it so? Because of the fallacy of the Mingjing, the bright scriptures taken by the court are inherent in great talents. However, there are many people who are opportunistic and skillful. There are many people who can keep silent about the scriptures, and there are few who know the great righteousness. In the past, there are fewer scholars among the people, and the time is easy to change the world. My children think that the current imperial examination is no longer suitable for the use of the Tang Dynasty, and it should be reformed!" Li Xian's eloquence has been cultivated in the officialdom of later generations. There is no doubt that he is great. After a statement, he is clearly organized, and his tone is quite infectious and appealing. Like a heavy hammer, he hit the hearts of a group of courtiers. For a time, the hall was silent. Immediately, the noisy discussion instantly roared. However, rise.

The first subject of the Ming Classics has been since the Han Dynasty. It is divided into five classics, three classics, two classics, one classics of study, three rites, three transmissions, etc. The method of examination is to post the text first, and then the oral examination. After asking ten righteousness, there are three ways to answer the time and policy. It seems that the exam is very wide and in-depth, but in fact it is not the case. It is only because since the Tang Dynasty, the qualification of Mingjing scholars has been clearly stipulated - only those who have obtained the recommendation of a county or an official above can participate in the Mingjing subject. The result of this restriction is that all the people who can really participate in this subject are powerful children, ordinary poor families. Scholars can't get into it at all. They have to go to the scholar's department, but the difficulty of a scholar is many times higher than that of the Mingjing. As the saying goes - thirty old Mingjing, fifty young scholars. In addition, the number of admissions to the scholar is extremely low, and the most admitted to one subject is only nine people. Compared with the Mingjing, it is easy to move. More than a hundred scholars are simply not the same. This is not the case. In Mingjing No. 1 Middle School, you can basically have an official, but if you don't take the level of the Ministry of Officials, you can't become an official. In a word, today's imperial examination is actually the prohibition of the children of the powerful, and there is no such thing as a fair pick of scholars at all.

Li Xian's memorial directly points to the drawbacks and darkness of the imperial examination. It can be said that it hit the nail on the needle, and there is no difficulty and obscurity in his words. A group of courtiers can understand it. In fact, there is no need for Li Xian to analyze the drawbacks of today's imperial examinations. These things. In fact, the courtiers all know that they are just concerned about their personal interests, and no one is willing to penetrate that layer of fig leaf, let alone put forward the idea of change. You don't see that in the civil and martial arts of the whole dynasty, there are less than one-tenth of the officials from the real poor family, and most of them are generals. Once such tacitly things are shaken by Li Xian in court. When they came out, the courtiers were shocked and panicked because of this. They only talked nonsense, but no one dared to stand up and refute what Li Xian said. Not only the courtiers, but also Gao Zong didn't know what to say for a while, so he opened his mouth wide, which was completely shocked.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to play!"

In the noise, an official dressed in imperial costume flashed out from the end of the queue, hurried to the hall, reported loudly, and instantly attracted the eyes of all the courtiers. At a glance, many courtiers exclaimed, just because they knew each other very well, but tens of thousands of them. I didn't expect it to appear on the court. This man is the famous Luo Binwang.

Wow... Old man, good job, enough! The courtiers exclaimed there, but Li Xian was secretly relieved. Because the next thing had to take advantage of the old man's literary talent, without the participation of King Luo Bin, the drama of the imperial examination would not be enough to make a sensation in the world. At least it could not achieve the best effect that Li Xian expected. To be honest, Li Xian had already Luo Binwang is ready to retreat from the battle. After all, the friendship between the two sides is not too deep. Moreover, under the atmosphere of such court discussion, the pressure is not affordable for ordinary people. Li Xian does not dare to guarantee that Luo Binwang will stand up and support him. Now, Luo Binwang not only stands up, but also has the opportunity. The handle was just right, which made Li Xian feel at ease, and a gratified smile appeared at the corners of his mouth...
