Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 275
Seeing the embarrassment on the fifth brother's face, Prince Li Jiancheng felt relieved for some reason, even he himself couldn't explain why.

Even Li Shimin thought it was interesting that the fifth brother was so absurd. Compared with the hateful old Si Yuanji, Zhiyun was so cute.

Li Yuanji felt that Li Zhiyun was a good younger brother, there was no way, Li Yuan usually said he was ridiculous, look, look!
Who is the most ridiculous now?

Li Jiancheng coughed and rescued Li Zhiyun.

"Father, my son thinks what the fifth brother said is very true. Now that the Tang Dynasty is about to rule the world, it is time to change from conquering the world to ruling the world. The fifth brother's improvement of printing technology is beneficial to the rule of the father. It is really indispensable. "

His power is mainly concentrated in the court. If he wants to rule the world, Qin Wangfu is not his opponent.

Li Shimin also echoed, "What the prince said is very true."

Li Yuan snorted and said, "Since your elder brother and second elder brother excused you, I won't hold you accountable, but please remember that you are the king of Chu, not a novelist of the top class, you can't do this." It's a humiliating thing, do you know that!"

Li Zhiyun said with a sneer: "Father, although this son-in-law wrote the story, he used a pseudonym, so others don't know. Besides, son-in-law didn't write it himself, it was all written by the subordinates."

That's right, the story of the Lotus Lantern was all dictated by him, and written by Wei Siqi, Wei Zheng and others.Although Li Zhiyun also reads, his education level is not as deep as that of Wei Zheng and others.Many words, he didn't know, were modified and added by Wei Zheng and others.

Hearing this, the corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched. It's unreasonable for this little bastard to ask his staff to write stories for him!
If there is no war, the little bastard will cause him ridiculous things.

The prince and King Qin, who had been sullenly, couldn't help but smile.

Zhiyun, you are such a good boy.

Li Yuanji thought differently, he felt inexplicably similar to his fifth brother.Because many of the memorials he wrote were ghostwritten.

"I won't allow you to write any more stories, do you hear me!" Li Yuan said angrily.

Li Zhiyun whispered: "The newspaper"

"Whatever you want." Li Yuan waved his hand, and immediately reminded him, "It's okay to write stories, but you are not allowed to write important political affairs on that paper, understand?"

Fools, understand.

"I understand." Li Zhiyun said: "Father, the improved printing technique will be sent to the palace later and handed over to Father."

"Hmm." Li Yuan breathed out through his nostrils.

Originally, Li Zhiyun wanted to make a 'patent' request, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary.In the future, if someone dares to develop in the newspaper industry, it will either be noble or aristocratic, and ordinary merchants who dare to intervene will directly chop their hands.

Besides, he is the largest group of nobles, who would dare to steal his business?
Although there is a law of martial virtue now, in this era, the law of martial virtue is only aimed at ordinary people. It is unrealistic to use the law of martial virtue to sanction the big nobles and families.

Li Yuan said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Dugu Sheng, recently mentioned the matter of the imperial examination. What do you think?"

What do you think?
Of course it is ignored!

Don't look at the imperial examinations as awesome, in fact, they were bluffing in Tang Dynasty.

The ones who can really be officials are either the sons of honorable nobles or the sons of aristocratic families. It is too difficult and almost impossible for ordinary people to pass the exam to get to the top.

Those who really like the imperial examination are the 'poor scholars'.

Scholars from poor families do not mean ordinary people, but children from poor families.These people are not valued in the family, and no one will help them when they have connections. They can only become petty officials through the imperial examination.

What's more, although the original intention of establishing the imperial examination in the former Sui Dynasty was to promote the poor, it has now evolved into a competition within the aristocratic family.

There are only so many positions in the imperial court, and everyone wants to make connections, and it's not easy to balance, so let's compare them.

It can be said that the imperial examinations in the early Tang Dynasty belonged to the children of aristocratic families and noble children.

Still, it's an opportunity to win hearts and minds.

Talk is better than nothing.

Think about it, among the famous officials in the early Tang Dynasty, who came out of the imperial examination?

Very little!
There is no way, it is the Shandong family that now holds the right to interpret knowledge.These aristocratic families have a deep collection of books and a long history of family studies, and are well-known in the world.

Often to question a family is to offend a large number of officials.Because, when these officials were young, they probably studied in the family school of that family.

If nothing else, just talk about Bingzhou.A Taiyuan Wang family, a Wenxi Pei family, how many scholars from Bingzhou are studying in these two schools?
These scholars will be promising in the future and become officials. Who do they have feelings for?
Family!

Therefore, why the world is ruled by the emperor and the family is this reason.It is also the same reason why Lao Li tried his best to win over the aristocratic family.

Why can't Li Mi stand up to failure?

Because he doesn't have the support of a family behind him, once he loses, the local officials all have ulterior motives.

Why are there so many youngsters under Wang Shichong?

Or because there is no family to support him.

It is easy to establish a territory, but it is not easy to stabilize a territory.Most of the knowledgeable people come from various aristocratic families. Only by attracting aristocratic families can they completely turn the territory into their own, and let the magistrates honestly treat themselves like cows and horses.

These aristocratic families are like small countries, dotted all over the Central Plains.They may not have armed forces in their hands, but there are too many officials related to them.

In Bingzhou, Guanzhong, Central Plains, Bashu, and parts of Hebei, the reason why Li Tang was able to win and stabilize so quickly was because the big families in these areas supported Li Tang.

Taiyuan Wang and Wenxi Pei from Bingzhou.The Lu family of Fanyang in Hebei, the Zheng family of Xingyang in the Central Plains, and so on.

Not to mention Guanzhong, the old nest of the Guanlong family.

Dugu Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, mentioned the imperial examination, most likely because he wanted to give the children of the family a back door.

Everyone knows it.

Then, the prince and King Qin quarreled again.

No way, this is an opportunity to get close to the Guan Long family.Li Jiancheng didn't want Li Shimin to continue kissing me with the Guanlong family, and Li Shimin didn't want Li Jiancheng to win over the Guanlong family.

As for Li Zhiyun, he naturally played with one, two, and three wooden figures.

This kind of thing is destined to have no part in him.

More importantly, even if he could grab the job, it would not be easy.He didn't have any good friends in Guanlong, and it was hard to share the cake.

The most suitable person must be King Qin, because Mrs. Dou is his loyal younger brother, and he has a good relationship with the Dugu family. With these two families supporting him in sharing the cake, other Guanlong families will definitely not question it.

"Enough!" Li Yuan stopped the two quarreling sons, "Are you arguing all day long and think I'm not annoying enough?"

You asked for it.Li Zhiyun complained silently in his heart.

The crown prince and King Qin bowed their heads quickly.

Li Yuan snorted, "Let Dugu Sheng handle this matter by himself, and you all don't want to interfere."

"Yes." Li Shimin said reluctantly.

As far as he is concerned, this opportunity will allow him to recruit many outstanding children from the Guanlong family, and thus attract more Guanlong families.

pity!

But Li Jiancheng was a little happy, as long as King Qin couldn't succeed, he would be happy.

As for Li Yuan, he actually wanted to change the imperial examination, but the problem was that he couldn't do it.The reason is simple, he has to cooperate well with the aristocratic families now.

If the imperial examinations are used to promote poor scholars and make the aristocratic family unhappy, those bastards will probably hide all the talents.

Don't question it, those dogs really dare to do this.

They have money and fields in their hands, and they don't lack food and clothing, and they don't care about those at all.

During the most chaotic time in the Northern Dynasties, the big families north of the river did not know how many fields and people they hid.

At this moment, the servant Li Zhong rushed over suddenly.

"Your Majesty, Duke Dugu is critically ill!"

"what?"

Li Yuan was startled suddenly.
