Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1057
It's snowing again in Chang'an City.

And it was snowing heavily.

This morning, all the officials stood in the hall, trembling a little.

Li Shimin discussed the matter with the officials, and when it was about to end, someone stood up.

"Your Majesty, the city of Chang'an has become very unstable recently because of two scholars making trouble in the brothel. Scholars from the north and the south fought a lot because of this, and the Ministry of Punishment was also a little overwhelmed by those people. How to execute the matter, I ask the holy majesty to let me know."

After the official explained the situation, some officials from the Ministry of Punishment immediately stood up and complained.

"My lord, Luo Yang, the murderer, insisted on manslaughter. According to manslaughter, we cannot sentence him to death, but he is a scholar from the north, and the one who was killed was a scholar from the south. Southern scholars think this is unfair, so they must It is really distressing for us to sentence Luo Yang to death."

"My lord, the southerners and the northerners are already at odds. If this kind of thing is not dealt with quickly, it may lead to instability in the Tang Dynasty."

Southerners and northerners are at odds, and it is true that they are not very stable in Datang.

In many cases, a trivial matter may lead to a disaster.

The disharmony between the north and the south had a great impact on Datang.

Li Shimin's eyebrows froze after hearing what the officials said. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in Chang'an City.

"My dear friends, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin jumped out first, and said: "Your Majesty, how else can we solve it? Since it was caused by Luo Yang's murder, then killing Luo Yang is enough. Killing people pays for their lives, it's justified."

Cheng Yaojin thought things were relatively simple, and he felt that Luo Yang killed someone, so he should be punished and pay for his life to others.

However, after Cheng Yaojingang finished speaking, some civil officials in the court pouted.

In war, they are inferior to Cheng Yaojin and others, but in terms of governing the country and handling government affairs, these literati beat Cheng Yaojin and them by several blocks.

"Lu Guogong, you think things are too simple. If there is no trouble between the scholars from the north and the south, killing Luo Yang can indeed solve this problem, but now things are getting worse, killing Luo Yang, indeed, the south The scholars are satisfied, but what about the scholars in the north?"

"That's right, that's right. If the scholars in the north are dissatisfied, they will still make trouble. This matter involves both parties, and no one can take sides."

"It's too natural for Duke Lu to think about things."

"........."

These civil officials said that some people in the court were from the south and the north. If Li Shimin was not here, they would even make a fuss in the court hall.

Of course, if things really turned out to be that side in the end, they might actually have a fight.

When Cheng Yaojin was told, he was also a little angry, and scolded: "You say my method is not good, so you can come and listen to it."

Cheng Yaojin said something, and those literati were suddenly speechless, because they didn't know how to solve this matter.

This matter is difficult.

There were still people whispering in the hall, but no one came forward to say some practical solutions.

Qin Tian stood in front with a calm expression, as if he didn't take this seriously at all, and it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

Li Shimin was also worried about this matter, suddenly seeing Qin Tian's appearance, he felt a little upset, everyone was in a hurry, but Qin Tian looked like this, he was too relaxed as an official, right?

"Qin Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Shimin asked Qin Tian, ​​and everyone immediately cast their gazes over. Qin Tian's expression changed slightly, and then he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not easy to handle."

Li Shimin curled his lips: "I know it's difficult, so I asked you what to do."

Qin Tiandao: "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be traced to the source."

"Oh, what is searching for the root and the source?"

"Looking for the root of the matter is naturally to find a solution from the source of the matter. The whole matter was caused by two scholars who were stranded in Chang'an City waiting for the next spring exam. Then we should start from this matter. Let's get started."

Qin Tian finally brought out his purpose. After Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and heard this, he suddenly thought of Du Ruhui, and immediately remembered the meeting between Du Ruhui and Qin Tian.

Soon, he understood many things.

"From the two scholars, how to solve the problem?" Li Shimin asked again, but now, he no longer felt nervous before, and was more curious.

Qin Tiandao: "Your Majesty, the imperial examinations are held once a year, which is too frequent. After these scholars fail the exams, they stay in Chang'an City. They don't do production, so they will naturally cause a lot of troubles. Therefore, I suggest that the The imperial examination is changed to every three years, and scholars come once every three years. If they fail the exam, they will naturally choose to go home instead of staying in Chang'an City, so there will be fewer things."

When Qin Tian said these words, Li Shimin immediately felt enlightened. After Du Ruhui told him about the problem of streamlining officials, he had been thinking about how to solve this matter, but after much deliberation, he found that in addition to iron and blood methods, he could also I really couldn't think of any other way.

But Qin Tian's method is extremely ingenious.

Li Shimin appreciated this method very much, but at this moment, the court suddenly became noisy, those ministers looked at each other, talking a lot, and some even accused Qin Tian.

"Master Qin, what nonsense are you talking about? Can you solve the current problems of Chang'an City by searching for the source?"

"You are changing the concept secretly. What do you mean by saying that you want to change the imperial examination to three years, three years. If someone fails to pass the exam, they will have to wait another three years. After three years, What have they become?"

"How many three years are there in life? Three years will wear away their will. Your method will never work."

"Don't say we think it's not good, I'm afraid that scholars all over the world think it's not good."

"That's right, what does this have to do with scholars staying in Chang'an City? Could it be that without these scholars, there would be no troubles in Chang'an City?"

"........."

Everyone kept talking about Qin Tian, ​​and some even pointed at Qin Tian and cursed, thinking that he was breaking the way for scholars in the world. Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin and others felt a little bit wrong for Qin Tian, ​​but seeing these Regarding the situation of civil servants, they were also somewhat apprehensive.

Qin Tian provoked public anger.

But when these people were talking like this, Qin Tian said very calmly: "Isn't what happened recently caused by two people who were stranded in Chang'an City?"
