"What is a palace examination?"

Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he stared at Li Yuanai. He felt that this palace examination was extremely unusual.

He would not have been so entangled, but because the number one he had decided was from the Wang family, this made him extremely unhappy.

The biggest difference between Li Zhi and Li Shimin is that he has a lot of scruples. Too many relatives in the Han Dynasty have caused trouble. He was born with such great disgust towards relatives.

Especially having relatives like Changsun Wuji made Li Zhi feel even more sharp and unable to sleep at night.

Therefore, he spent his whole life with his relatives, just like guarding against thieves.

It is said that Wu Zetian controls Li Zhi, but what about it?

Under Li Zhi's control, Wu Zetian and the Wu family were in a state of breaking apart.

Wu Zetian doesn’t want to promote the Wu family as a backing?

How is that possible?

With Wu Zetian's wisdom, how could he not know that with a strong family as his backing, his status will be more stable?

As soon as she became the queen, she began to enthrone her relatives and promoted the Wu family one by one.

Then the Wu family suffered a tragedy, internal discord, and self-killing.

Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun, who were most valued by Wu Zetian, directly executed Li Zhi. Wu Zetian also forced Li Zhi to issue an edict to the people of the world to scold his mother as a bastard. In ancient times, the word filial piety was greater than that of the sky. If it weren't forcing it to the extreme, how could a queen announce to the whole world that his mother had an affair with his nephew?

Family scandals should not be made public, so how can Wu Zetian not understand?

At least Qin Shihuang didn't dare to do that when facing Zhao Ji giving birth to a son for Lao Ai.

Wu Jiang is so partial to his youngest son, so Duke Zhuang of Zheng also wants to give himself a step forward.

When Li Zhi was there, Wu Zetian was almost in a state of breaking with the Wu family.

The queen Wu Zetian regarded it as such. Some people in later generations actually said that Wu Zetian undermined Li Zhi?

She can't even handle her own family, and she can handle Li Zhi?

This is why Li Zhi has always disliked the current Crown Princess. He doesn't like his wife's family and is too strong.

Li Zhi didn't know whether the Wang family passed the top scorer by his ability, and he was too lazy to check, just because he didn't want the Wang family to win the top scorer.

"The so-called palace examination means that the emperor personally summoned all the students who passed the imperial examination in the main hall. The emperor personally gave the questions, personally tested them, and personally selected the three-level rankings. For these three-level rankings, you can call them "Son of the Emperor". In this way, the appointment power of the top scorer, the second-level candidate, and the second-level candidate, is in the hands of the emperor."

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes lit up and his breathing was a little rapid.

This move is really wonderful.

In the past, when I was elected as a scholar in the imperial examinations? The emperor could not ask.

In this way, the most core power is controlled by the emperor? This can avoid many uncertain factors.

"The current imperial examination system is becoming more and more perfect? ​​But there will inevitably be some mistakes that will make people suffer from it. Twenty Jinshis? There will inevitably be no one who takes advantage of the situation. The emperor chooses the three-level imperial examination and personally awards the Jinshishu. It is most fair."

Li Yuanai said calmly.

If the Tang Dynasty's imperial examination was changed to the Sui Dynasty's recommendation to allow everyone in the world to participate is a cross-age progress? Then the emergence of the palace examination is a sublimation of the imperial examination system on this path of progress.

The improvement of the imperial examination system and the purpose of the imperial examination in the imperial examination were greatly improved.

Li Zhi said: "The palace examination will be the first meeting between the students and the emperor, and it will be the emperor's greatest recognition for the future ministers of the court? This proposal is really wonderful. I will ask my father for instructions? He will order the palace examination to choose a pillar of the court." He said as he immediately set off and said at the same time: "Do you want to go together?"

Li Yuanai shook his head and said, "No, I'll go see Little Shizi, I won't join in the fun!"

Li Zhi smiled slightly? It was up to him.

Li Zhi applied to Li Shimin for the palace examination to win.

Li Shimin was stunned for the first time when he first heard the details of the "Director Examination"? He thought carefully and was overjoyed. He said, "What a wonderful thing, I have always been worried about the future of the imperial examination. The popularity of the imperial examination has indeed caught all the great gentry off guard. In this way, I can't open the situation for a long time. But the father knew in his heart? That's because they were used to the old customs and did not recover for a while. When they took the imperial examination seriously and studied it carefully, most of the poor people would fail. By then, most of the Jinshi were all wealthy, and the third-tier and the first grade were also occupied by the wealthy, which would encourage their momentum. Once this palace examination was released, we only had to be slightly biased towards the poor, which was a great encouragement for the poor in the world. One thing was the rise and the other was the decline. When the imperial examination officially became a method to recruit scholars, the aristocratic families would not have to worry about it."

Li Shimin was constrained by the aristocratic family, not because he was ruthless and could not destroy it. It was because the existence of the aristocratic family had both advantages and disadvantages.

As the largest talent transport institution in the Tang Dynasty, with them spread all over the world and ensuring the stability of the government, he could launch wars without any scruples.

If you really suffer from the pain of scraping your bones and removing the flesh and destroying the influence of aristocratic families, you will only suffer from internal friction and both sides.

Li Shimin's most ideal state is to raise the poor family and use the rise of the poor family to seize the resources of the aristocratic family until the two sides are balanced, restrain each other and have no bloodshed.

Li Shimin was cruel, but he was not too hot and knew how to advance and retreat. He was warlike but kind, and knew how to compassionate with the sufferings of the people. Only under the influence of such a changeable personality can he create the glory of the Zhenguan rule under bad circumstances.

Li Shimin said: "Let me guess, this method is what your sixteenth uncle thinks!"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Only he can innovate in real time."

Li Shimin asked, "What about others?"

Li Zhiying said: "I'm going to accompany Xiao Yizi!"

Li Shimin felt soft. He had indeed ignored Xiao Yizi recently and nodded, "It's a blessing for him. Regarding the Sixteenth wedding, you should also have snacks and handle it well for your father. I thought I would be the first to deal with this matter when I returned to Beijing, but their horoscopes were a bit disagreeable. It was not until June that they had the right good day. It was really a good thing."

Speaking of Li Yuanai's marriage, Li Zhi suddenly thought of a headache and said, "Father, about Uncle Twenty-second!"

"Wait!" Li Shimin suddenly had a headache when he heard the words "Twenty-two Uncle", and rubbed his temples on both sides hard and said, "Let me slow down, let me talk about it later."

Li Zhi’s twenty-two uncle was Li Yuanying, the twenty-two-land of Li Shimin.

Li Yuanying is Li Yuan's youngest son. He was born in the second year of Zhenguan. He is younger than Li Zhi's nephew.

So much so that after Li Yuan's death, Li Yuanying was unattended and Li Shimin personally led it.

For this youngest younger brother, Li Shimin was so troubled that he couldn't sleep at night.

This is also considered retribution. In order to reverse his "bloody image" of killing his brothers and forcing his father in people's hearts, Li Shimin used rain and dew everywhere for his surviving younger brothers and almost took good care of them.

Even if Li Yuanai was like this in the early days, he would work hard to wipe his butt.

If it weren't for almost causing a death, he wouldn't have taken care of it specifically and would still take it upon himself.

I thought Li Yuanai was a weirdo, but I didn't expect that my younger brother Li Yuanying, whom I raised himself, would be even more amazing.

Li Yuanai's absurdity is under his nose, while Li Yuanying is in trouble.

According to the rules, the prince wanted to go out to the countryside to govern the people for the court. Li Yuanying was only eleven years old and was named King Tengzhou, Shandong.

Li Shimin never thought that this eleven-year-old child was a demon king in the world.

Arrogance, extravagance, and a great construction!

Shandong is in trouble.

It can be ten times more difficult than Li Yuanai.

Now Li Shimin even felt in his heart, did he deliberately give birth to so many sons to take revenge on him?

Anyway, Li Shimin now feels a headache when he hears Li Yuanying or any related news.

After a while, Li Shimin said, "Tell me, what ridiculous things have he done?"

Li Zhi said with a bitter face: "Uncle Twenty-second uncle's teacher came from an impeachment letter, saying that Uncle Twenty-second uncle intends to imitate Uncle Sixteen to build an open palace in Tengzhou and build a Tengwang Pavilion that is more magnificent than the Shangwang Pavilion. Uncle Twenty-second uncle didn't listen to the advice at all and had already started looking for a place in person."

Even Li Shimin had no way to deal with Li Yuanying, the devil in the world. As a nephew, what else can Li Zhi do when facing his uncle who is younger than him?

"It's absurd! He built the Sixteenth Shangwang Pavilion with his own money. He wanted to build the Tengwang Pavilion, so why didn't he pay for it? Today is a Tengwang Pavilion and tomorrow is a Miwang Pavilion, and the treasury will build the palace for them."

Li Shimin became more and more sure that his son was a punishment for him.

Li Zhi grabbed his face and said, "If we don't care, we will have the character of the twenty-second uncle, and we will do things to compete with the people for profit and force the people to plunder the people's wealth."

Li Shimin's generation of wise kings and holy lords were really helpless about Li Yuanying, the youngest younger brother. He felt his brain twitching and aroused a lot of pain, and said, "Okay, let this slow down beforehand, let me think about it carefully."

The fifth day later, Li Yuanai received the news.

Li Shimin issued an order to set a precedent for the palace examination, summoned the 20th high school Jinshi to enter the palace, and gave a test in the Wude Hall. The prince of the supervising state, Li Zhi, personally invigilated the exam and announced the candidates for the third place on the spot.

On that day, the imperial court issued a document, and Pei Xingjian, a native of Wenxi County, Jiangzhou, passed the top scorer in high school.

Then, the second place was the second place, and Tanhua was earned by two poor men.

According to Li Shimin's opinion, the answer was biased towards poor families. This first palace examination was the best candidate for poor families.

But Li Zhi still chose Pei Xingjian.

This palace examination test test tests practice, not classical and historical content, and is a real and true mastery of governing the country.

The poor scholars are inevitably inferior in this regard. Pei Xingjian was born in Hongwenguan and often studied strategies with the Grand Secretary in the Management Office. He had great experience in practice and answered in an orderly and comprehensive manner.

In particular, some of the test questions given by Li Shimin cover military affairs. Pei Xingjian seems to be very talented in this regard and his answers are amazing.

Pei Xingjian's words and behaviors and his literary answers show that the knowledge expressed is not just a talent, but also a genius that can be used for a lot.

Faced with such talent, Li Zhi directly gave him the top scorer.

Li Yuanai was still happy that Pei Xingjian was able to take the lead.

Judging from his performance in history, this top scholar is well deserved.

The only regret is that the status of the top scorer has not been truly improved yet. The so-called top scorer is just a better road to promotion.

It is far less than that of later, and it has become a popular existence.

Finally, on March 26th, Li Yuanai put on the Hu clothing coat that he had prepared last night.

It is said to be Hu's clothing, but in fact it has been changed to a very similar sturdy clothing for Yu Hanfu, and it still has the big sleeves that Li Yuanai likes very much.
