Chapter 94 Reaching a Consensus--Removing Li Chenghua(1/2)
At the home of Wang Gui, the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Representatives of the five surnames and Qiwang and other aristocratic families are discussing what Li Chenghua said about [Popular Imperial Examination]!
"What? Let those lowly [poor students] also be qualified to participate in the imperial examination? This is simply nonsense!"
"Yes, let the lowly craftsmen and merchants be qualified to participate in the imperial examination? This is simply an insult to the scholars of our aristocratic family!"
"That's right! Tianshelang can participate in the imperial examination! Then Li Chenghua actually suggested that no matter whether he is a criminal or a slave, as long as he is knowledgeable, he can participate in the imperial examination? This is simply a big deal!"
"Hmph, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce! The suggestion of that boy Li Chenghua is simply to break this class!"
"Mr. Wang Shizhong, please report to Your Majesty, and you must stop this popularization of the imperial examination!"
"That's right, we must boycott it! Let those poor students and our aristocratic students rule in the court together? This is a great humiliation to our aristocratic family!"
In the lobby, representatives of the aristocratic families spoke one after another, attacking Li Chenghua!
At the same time, I hope that Wang Gui and all officials will write a letter to prevent this [Popular Imperial Examination].
Wang Gui looked at the messy representative of the aristocratic family?
He knocked on the table and said, "Quiet!"
Seeing the lobby slowly quiet down?
Wang Gui sighed again: "I have asked Changsun Wuji privately.
Changsun Wuji said that Your Majesty has made up his mind to [popularize the imperial examination]!
Therefore, even if we block the table above, it is useless!"
"Ah? No, Your Majesty has issued some political orders before, and aren't they all listening to the suggestions of civil and military officials?"
"Yes, why did Your Majesty so arbitrary this time decide to popularize the imperial examination?"
"Yes, Your Majesty did not play according to the norm this time. Wang Shizhong, can he really not stop him?"
Wang Gui shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty listened to our suggestions before, that is to give face to the aristocratic family!
If Your Majesty doesn’t give us face and insists on making arbitrary decisions? Then how can I stop it?"
“…”
After hearing Wang Gui's words, everyone present was silent.
Yes, it was Li Shimin who gave the aristocratic family before, so I would like to discuss with you what happened.
Now, if you don’t give you face, what can you do? Can you still rebel?"
At this time, the representative of the Wei family hesitated and asked: "Wang Shizhong, is this suggestion to popularize the imperial examination really proposed by Li Chenghua, who is known as the [Immortal Disciple]?"
Wang Gui nodded and confirmed: "Yes! This is what Changsun Wuji said in person! Humph, that Li Chenghua..."
Speaking of Li Chenghua, Wang Gui is really a little bit gritted!
How to say it?
Li Chenghua bought the Wang family’s Poisonous Salt Mountain and later turned into [Baoshan]? This incident is well known to everyone in Chang'an City.
Therefore, everyone in Chang'an City is laughing at the Wang family as if they are so stupid! They actually don't recognize the treasure mountain?
It can be said that Li Chenghua used this poisonous salt mountain to slap a big shot from the Wang family!
To save face?
Wang Gui has sent several people to talk to Cheng Yaojin, hoping to buy back the poisonous salt mountain.
After all, when the contract was signed, the Wang family signed with the Cheng family.
However, the old man Cheng Yaojin didn't even get in. He said that the contract to buy Du Yanshan has been transferred to Li Chenghua?
Therefore, he couldn't help either.
However, Lee Seung-hwa is more angry than Cheng Yaojin!
Li Chenghua told the Wang family that Poisonous Salt Mountain will not be sold no matter how much it costs!
What if the Wang family wants to regain their face?
Then the Wang family can spend 500,000 guan - Li Chenghua promised to stop picking salt on the Poison Salt Mountain!
Can’t buy that poisonous salt mountain even if it is 500,000 guan? Just buy a promise to [stop picking salt]?
How could the Wang family agree to this?
So, the matter ended.
At this moment, the representative of the Lu family frowned and said, "Wang Shizhong, is that Li Chenghua, who bought Poison Salt Mountain from the Wang family? Is it the Li Chenghua, who is known as the [the No. silly fool in Chang'an]?"
"Well, it's that Lee Seung-hwa!"
When Wang Gui talked about Li Chenghua, the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
Why does this Li Chenghua seem to have had a fight with the Wang family?
The matter of Du Yan Mountain has not been resolved yet. Unexpectedly, Li Chenghua came up with another one - popularizing the imperial examination?
Li Chenghua did this? This is because he wanted the life of the aristocratic family!
Therefore, Wang Gui was really angry at this moment!
The representative of the Lu family frowned and said, "Well, was this popular imperial examination proposed by Li Chenghua?
Then if this Lee Seung-hua suddenly disappears...
So can we solve the problem of popularizing the imperial examinations from the root?”
"Suddenly disappeared?"
When Wang Gui heard this, his pupils shrank.
Then he closed his eyes and began to ponder.
Before this, Wang Gui wanted to win people with virtue with Li Chenghua in the incident at Poison Yanshan?
However, now, in the popularization of the imperial examination, Wang Gui no longer wants to convince people with virtue with Li Chenghua! He already had a vague idea of killing Li Chenghua.
Seeing Wang Gui hesitating?
The representative of the Lu family said again: "Wang Shizhong, Li Chenghua suddenly appeared in the air, his methods were magical and his identity was mysterious!
This son is a huge threat to our aristocratic families! Therefore…”
Wang Gui opened his eyes, looked at the representatives of other aristocratic families, and said, "Get rid of Li Chenghua? Do you think it is feasible?"
Next, except for the Wei family's opposition, most representatives of other aristocratic families agreed.
The Wei family representative smiled bitterly at this moment, and he felt helpless.
There is no way, why did he oppose getting rid of Li Chenghua?
It was because Concubine Wei said that Li Chenghua helped her and asked the Wei family to contact Li Chenghua to express her gratitude!
However, in this case, it is probably inconvenient for the Wei family to thank Li Chenghua.
But we must not give Concubine Wei a face and agree to get rid of Li Chenghua?
At this moment, Wang Gui looked at the representative of the Wei family and coughed, "I will discuss this matter again!"
Talking about it again?
In fact, Wang Gui was already thinking about how to get rid of Li Chenghua.
In fact, during this period, Wang Gui always felt a voice in his heart shouting at him - kill Li Chenghua! Otherwise, the aristocratic family would die!
Is this a mental demon or an illusion? Wang Gui can't figure it out either!
But, after the reminder from the representative of the aristocratic family just now?
Wang Gui has made up his mind at this moment and it is time to solve Li Chenghua’s problem!
At this moment, the representative of the Wei family saw Wang Gui silent?
I saw everyone looking at him with a bad expression?
He coughed and changed the subject, saying, "A little Li Chenghua, is it possible for our aristocratic family to gather here to discuss it?"
Also, isn’t it just popularizing the imperial examination? Isn’t it just giving poor students the opportunity to have imperial examinations?
However, whether you can pass the imperial examination is not about the opportunity to pass the imperial examination! It is about the number of readings!"
The representative of the Cui family snorted coldly and said, "Whatever the Wei family wants to say, just say it!"
The Wei family representative was a little unhappy and said, "What do you want to say? Could you guess it?"
Didn’t I just say that? Only by studying more can you pass the imperial examination!
Then I would like to ask you all here, do poor students have the money to buy a lot of books?"
“…”
After hearing what the representative of the Wei family said, the representatives of the aristocratic families present all lit up!
"Yes, poor students don't even have money to buy books, so how can they talk about the imperial examination?"
