14. Unfortunately, he is not my son
“There are five unfair examinations.
First, the number of places in the imperial examination is relatively high in the capital and there are fewer places, which has caused candidates to flock to Chang'an and the surrounding areas to settle down, which is too troublesome.
Secondly, the imperial examination will be tested one year apart. Candidates who are not Chang'an must go through the local preliminary examination and then rush to Chang'an to take the final examination. If they fail, they have to return to their hometown to prepare for the next year's exam.
When they pick up the booklets again, they will definitely sigh... Where has the time gone?
Third, the method of imperial examinations is not reasonable. Taking the imperial examinations is just a background and may not necessarily be granted an official position. You also need to pass the examination presided over by the Ministry of Personnel to interpret the election.
The focus of selection is on the law and documents. Compared with the children of the gentry, the children of poor families obviously have no chance to get in touch with this aspect.
Fourth, there are fewer talents in the imperial examination. Generally, there are thirty people a year, and there are only a few places to squeeze out. How should we deal with so many students in the Tang Dynasty?
Fifth, the gentry had too much influence. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if there are high-ranking officials, candidates do not have to take the first exam.
The gentry can ask for each other, while the poor children have no way to visit each other. What if they do?”
Luo Taisui counted it in one breath and finally said: "Overall, the children of the gentry have a greater advantage in the imperial examinations due to family studies and family, and the poor families cannot compete with them.
And this situation may be difficult to change in the future."
When the poor children truly rose, it was the Song Dynasty, which was the golden age when the prime ministers must have obtained the imperial examination.
Hearing this, Li Lizhi fell silent again.
The current imperial examination system was drafted by the father and emperor, referring to the experience of the previous dynasty, and after repeated discussions by the ministers.
It has been considered in all aspects and has truly considered the poor children.
Unexpectedly, this guy casually criticized so many shortcomings.
The key is that people have a good reputation and cannot refute it yet.
"Of course, what I said above is not the most critical!"
Luo Taisui is not finished yet: "Study well and become an official, this is the biggest disadvantage of the imperial examination system.
The current imperial examination system seriously affects the education system.
Studying, taking exams, and becoming an official will become an ideal path for scholars.
Although a small number of people were able to be awarded the title, most scholars experienced the frustration of the imperial examinations for the rest of their lives, and the imperial examinations consumed almost all their energy...
Isn't it sad?"
Under the monarchy politics, the imperial examination gradually stifled the imagination and creativity of scholars, making school education completely a vassal of the imperial examination. The negative impact of the future education is far-reaching.
Luo Taisui himself was also deeply hurt... Of course, this is a matter of going to the world.
And in this life, he has to be himself, starting with refusing to take the exam.
Li Lizhi raised her eyes and looked at Luo Taisui, and suddenly lost interest in continuing to ask.
You can't bother others with all the troubles.
People have already pointed out the shortcomings of the imperial examination system one by one. If there is no solution in this way, then what is the use of the court to support those ministers with high officials and generous salaries?
"I'm leaving."
Li Lizhi stood up and said goodbye, just as suddenly as she came.
"Don't stay for dinner? Shouyou is almost back." Luo Taisui didn't expect that she would leave as soon as she said she could leave, and subconsciously tried to keep her.
"No, I suddenly remembered that there was one thing waiting for me to do." Li Lizhi declined, "But you, if you have time, you might as well think more about how to meet Princess Changle."
After saying that, he left alone.
Looking at her thin back, Luo Taisui didn't know what was wrong, but she felt lost.
Maybe it's because no one has listened quietly like her...
...
Li Lizhi returned to the palace, and Li Shimin quickly summoned her when he heard the news.
The two of them asked questions and answered each other, from remedial measures to manipulate grain prices to suppressing the five surnames and seven sects, to the shortcomings of the imperial examination system, they communicated in detail.
It was like this, and we talked until late at night.
Seeing that his baby daughter was a little absent-minded, Li Shimin thought she was tired, so he asked her to go back and have a good rest.
"Come, go and proclaim..."
He was about to summon several important officials to discuss as usual, but hesitated.
Perhaps before Empress Changsun woke him up, he thought that he was the king of a country and admired by all people. His words were imperial edicts, and no one in the court dared not to obey.
He even believed that he had to eat and sleep, and devoted himself to the welfare of the people, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment under his own rule. Such a good move for the country and the people should do his best and not have selfish intentions.
But the moment Empress Changsun said the four words "Five surnames and Seven Sects", it was like a basin of cold water that drank him from head to toe thoroughly.
Li Shimin sighed and waved his left and right.
"I really don't understand why the five surnames and seven sects are proud of themselves, and why do people in the world value it?"
He really expressed this sentence with emotion.
Thinking about these five surnames and seven sects, they are obviously already in a state of decline, but they are still swollen and fat. They rely on the achievements of their ancestors and are arrogant and arrogant, and even don’t take him seriously, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
In order to make money, they also collected brides from their in-laws when their children got married, making a good wedding like trafficking.
The five surnames and seven sects have such virtues that are not worthy of their position, but so many people have tried their best to make friends with them and are proud of marrying women of the five surnames. This is ridiculous!
It is true that because of his temporary negligence and high-profile handling of food problems, the food short price war has the possibility of collapse.
But he did not mean to make up for it immediately, nor did he explicitly warn his important officials, but instead allowed the loophole to exist.
The purpose is very simple, it is to see if anyone is drilling in.
If someone really dares to stumbling and attack him on such a major matter that concerns the country and the country, he can only take him to Xuanwu Gate personally.
snort!
Can I not be able to see those who have bad intentions, and can’t I still be able to see the five surnames and seven sects?
However, the child Luo Taisui seemed to think of me in front of me in everything.
Even the method of suppressing the five surnames and seven sects was considered.
The method of killing three soldiers with two peaches...
Neighbors are forbidden to intermarry...
Vigorously promote the imperial examination...
The moves are all aimed at the key points of the five surnames and seven sects.
This child's ruthlessness is no less than that of me back then, and everything is considered by the people of the world, worrying about the country and the people.
Unfortunately, he is not my son.
Otherwise, if I have carefully cultivated it, my future achievements may still be above me.
This will ensure that the Tang Dynasty will last forever.
What a pity.
Li Shimin sighed again.
His current sons are not outstanding in ability.
Once one hundred years later, who among them can suppress a family of aristocratic families such as the five surnames and seven sects?
Therefore, no matter which starting point he considers, he must solve the problem of the five surnames and seven sects as soon as possible, and it is urgent.
He must let the world know that Li Tang's world did not allow anyone to share the royal power!
