Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 131 The Prince's Foresight (1)

The maids filed in and placed the meals one by one on the food table in front of everyone, and the maids filled the wine glasses for everyone.

"Tonight, my palace hosts a banquet here to invite all my lords to thank you for your devotion to the Great Tang. Now that my father is marching eastward, I have ordered this palace to supervise the country. In the future, I will rely on my lords to help me wholeheartedly." Li Cheng dry road.

"Assisting Your Highness to supervise the country is the duty of a minister!" Fang Xuanling said.

"Come here to raise your glasses, let me wait for you to share the prosperity! I wish the Tang Dynasty prosperity and prosperity!" Li Chengqian did not say any more polite words, picked up the wine glass on the table and toasted everyone, and the banquet officially began.

In addition to good food and wine, how can there be no singing and dancing to add to the fun at the banquet.

Everyone promoted cups and changed glasses, musicians played music, and singers and dancers danced lightly to help everyone drink.

At the banquet, hundreds of officials toasted the prince several times, and then the officials toasted each other, the colleagues around them, and the colleagues opposite.

Officials from powerful families toasted and communicated with each other, and officials from poor families also reported to each other to keep warm, expand their social circle, and seek greater benefits.

In short, everyone got along very well at this banquet, and it was a scene of joy and harmony until the end of the banquet.

The banquet lasted for a long time, and lasted for nearly two hours before the banquet hosted by the prince ended.

Everyone was full of wine and food, and left the hall in a happy mood, and returned home. Li Chengqian, who was slightly drunk, returned to the bedroom with Wang Quan's support.

After the officials left, the maids cleaned up the Guangtian Palace after the party, tidying up the Guangtian Palace and restoring its original appearance.

When Li Chengqian woke up the next day, the sun was already high above the sky.

Li Chengqian, who drank to his heart's content last night, got up half an hour later than usual. Fortunately, Li Er was not in Chang'an, so he didn't have to go to the morning court, otherwise he would be scolded to death by Li Er.

"Your Majesty! Du He's concubine is asking to see you!" A servant came in from outside the hall and reported to Li Chengqian, who hadn't recovered yet.

"What's the matter with him coming to me at this time? Let him come in and talk." Li Chengqian said as he lay half reclined on the chair, put his forearms on the armrest, and interlocked his fingers.

"No!" The servant took the order and retreated.

Du He came in from the outside, saluted Li Chengqian and said, "My minister Du He has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No need to be too polite! Give me a seat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Du He said, and sat down beside him.

"It's early in the morning, what's the important thing you came to see me?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Highness! The teaching plan you reformulated some time ago has been distributed to various experimental sites for experimentation. Although the effect is not obvious, it can still pass the experiment during this period of time."

"To make a general judgment, Weichen carried out several reforms in the original plan, which is conducive to the development of teaching."

"This is Weichen's revised plan. Please have a look." After Du He finished speaking, he took out a plan from his sleeve, and Du He made some modifications to the places marked on it.

Du He handed over the revised plan to Wang Quan, and he passed it on to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian sat up straight immediately, took the plan handed over by Wang Quan and flipped through it. Du He had annotated it so that Li Chengqian could understand it at a glance.

The revised plan is more conducive to the promotion of teaching, so that even the children of peasants can receive education.

Moreover, the plan also proposes that because different people use different teaching methods, these people can learn something.

"This plan is well revised! Did you, Du He, come up with it, or was it someone else's idea?" Li Chengqian said.

"I didn't do it alone, it was the result of discussion between me and several colleagues. I don't know what your highness thinks about this matter!" Du He said.

"It's not a high opinion, it's just some small suggestions. For example, this allows the children of the powerful to go to school, but they must pay a certain fee and have to take an exam." Li Chengqian said, putting the plan in his hand Hand the book back to Du He.

"Well, Your Highness, please forgive me! The elites have their own private schools, so how could they go to the school to study with a bunch of lowly people." Du He said.

He felt that the crown prince's idea was too whimsical, and he wanted to let the aristocratic family pay for it. It would be good if they didn't take the opportunity to make money!How could it be possible to pay out.

"What if, in the future, everyone who wants to enter the Imperial Academy and Chongwen Museum must have a graduation certificate issued by the school?"

"In the future, the imperial examinations will give priority to students with graduation certificates. Do you think the aristocratic families will agree?" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! If you really want to do this, I am worried that it will cause dissatisfaction among the family members and cause turmoil. Please think twice, Your Highness!" Du He said.

Du He's worries were not unreasonable, the clans had great influence, although after several dynasties of emperors' efforts, they had reduced a lot of their superior political and social status.

But these are nothing to the clan, but the crown prince obviously cut the interests of the clan by doing so.

How could a powerful family give up on it!

"What are you worried about? The widow understands that as long as it is done properly, even if the family members are dissatisfied, they will not oppose the court."

"We ask for this tuition fee, as long as we don't ask for much, it's a drop in the bucket for them. Is it possible that they will give up the opportunity to become an official for such a small profit." Li Chengqian said.

"This is what I'm worried about. If the aristocratic family really does this, how will His Highness respond?" Du He asked.

"What are you afraid of? The imperial court has an army in their hands, and they are afraid that they will fail if they can find flowers. If anyone dares to make trouble, the widow will definitely not be merciful." Li Chengqian said.

My great ancestor of the Celestial Dynasty said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. As long as the Tang Dynasty has enough military power, it will be able to suppress these aristocratic families.

Then rely on the huge mass base as the backing, slowly weaken the influence of the aristocratic families, if any of them dare to stand up and jump.

Direct suppression is nothing to worry about.

The cancer must be eradicated, so that the Tang Dynasty can enjoy long-term peace and stability.

Du He was taken aback!
He didn't expect that Li Chengqian would say that, which made him at a loss for what to say.

"Okay! You do what I say first! See how the aristocratic family reacts, and it's not too late to make any plans!"

"If you don't do anything, how can you think of a solution? When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty abolished the Nine-Rank Official Personnel Law and replaced the selection of talents with the imperial examination, he was also opposed by the aristocratic family. What happened in the end?" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Du He responded.

He felt that what the prince said was reasonable, to deal with aristocratic families, one should boil frogs in warm water and take it slowly.

It will definitely be able to completely eradicate the aristocratic family.
