Having talked about the wine? Ye Yu grinned and promised her mother to accompany her for lunch. Could it be that she would break her promise again? The little eunuch opened her mouth in surprise. Who can enjoy this honor? This boy is just around the corner.

"Nephew Ye Yu, is it difficult for you to have a meal with me?" Emperor Taizong's face was a little unhappy, "What's your expression?"

"How can I do it? I can eat with my old man, but I am not sure of it!" Ye Yu finally understood what it means to accompany the king and accompany the tiger. Anyone who is an emperor is a dog. If you say this, you will turn against him. Some things are clever and not true. "A person cannot stand without trust. Ye Yu agreed to his mother to eat with her, and he would not say anything like this. Wouldn't he want his mother to wait for him?"

"I murdered someone like ma, but I was very filial to my mother. The rumors in the world are not groundless." Emperor Taizong smiled and could answer them like a stream. He believed that Ye Yu knew the purpose of today's conversation and decided against his mother's personal future. The first thing he considered was his mother. Such a person could be controlled and worthy of reuse. "Come on! Go to the Qian Mansion to inform Mrs. Ye..."

"The old man is very loving, and the little nephew is treacherous. If he is driven in the future, he will devote himself to his work and die until he dies." Showing loyalty and flattery are combined into one, and Ye Yu is just playing with a quiet voice.

"Your Majesty, lunch is ready. Please move to the east hall!" The time is not long, and the eunuch who is responsible for the emperor's meal comes in and kneels down to report.

"Old man, please ask first!" Ye Yu couldn't let Emperor Taizong let him know. Seeing that the old man had such an attitude, he rushed to say it.

"Nephew, what do you think of this mansion?" After leaving the study, Emperor Taizong took the chasing, Ye Yu could only trot. Not long after, the old man suddenly asked this question in a daze.

"Just two words, grandeur!" Ye Yu raised his thumb, "When the spring breeze is warm, the flowers are full of flowers, this is definitely a paradise on earth."

When communicating with others, you should pay attention to short life and add money to your friends. When you see an old man in his seventies and eighties, you say he is only forty years old and he will be happy. Someone bought a chair for two taels of silver. You say that the chair is worth at least five taels, and he will definitely show off with you with a proud look on his face. Ye Yu felt that he was right to say this, but the old man smiled without saying a word. His unfathomable appearance made him feel like he was falling into clouds.

The emperor's life is about being particular. Although it is just a temporary meal, the big table in the middle of the Dongfang room was filled with dishes. Ye Yu glanced at it and it was definitely no less than sixty-four dishes.

Luxury, corruption, and so prepared for such a short time, Ye Yu cannot be said to be surprised; but he, Mr. Ye, is a person who has seen the world after all, what is a small "state banquet"? The surprise on his face flashed away.

Unable to be surprised by favor and disgrace, Emperor Taizong felt that his understanding of Ye Yu had deepened a little further. He stepped back and left and right. The old man took the lead in holding up the wine bottle, "I feel very comforted that Daliang has such a talented nephew."

"Old man, this wine should be for Ye Yu to toast you. Although you and I can be called friends who are old and forgetful, I am a big and young person. How could Ye Yu not understand this etiquette?"

"I heard that you, nephew Ye Yu, are unscrupulous. Since you have made a big fuss about your birthday party, why are you so polite and law-abiding in front of me?"

"The old man is so bad. Ye Yu's life does not have the word "ritual" in his life. Ye Yu only relies on his personal preferences. For those who deserve respect, Ye Yu respects him from the bottom of his heart. Those who do not deserve Ye Yu's respect, Ye Yu will not bid him at all."

Ye Yu felt very stingy when he said this, but the old emperor was 'smiling', "Nephew, do you think I deserve your respect?"

"Isn't the old man worthy of my respect?"

Ye Yu asked back, and Emperor Taizong laughed.

"Nephew, what do you think of the current situation in Daliang?"

"Old man, Ye Yu is young and energetic. He may be biased in some things. I hope that the old man will let him go." After paving the way, clearing his throat, Ye Yu began to "think" about the draft that had been prepared long ago. "In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the royal family withered and the Han Dynasty was in turmoil. Can you tell me the three pillars of the empire at that time?"

The emperor is the most impatient. As a master who only allows people to wait for him but cannot wait for him, the old man couldn't understand why Ye Yu suddenly mentioned the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty and signaled him to continue with great impatiently.

Ye Yu gave himself this in his heart. Why can't you change your bad habit of being a good teacher? Being a teacher to the emperor, is your kid still idle or what? How dare you continue to show off?

"The relatives, eunuchs, and gentry constitute the three pillars of the empire. But after the disputes between the Three Kingdoms, the world returns to Jin is actually the world returns to the gentry. The old man knows why this is? Uh... Mr. Don't get angry. Today is you who test me, not me, and I can't pass you."

Emperor Taizong almost couldn't exclaim again. Hearing Ye Yu's words of remedy, he barely suppressed his anger. If you can't satisfy me today, you can wait to be carried back.

"This starts with the characteristics of the gentry class. At that time, three conditions must be met to be an official. First, he must be a scholar. Second, he must be well-versed in the classics. Moreover, he must be filial and honest. In this way, only the children of the gentry class have only been qualified to be an official. How many children from the poor have read books? Even if they have read books and are talented, and they are not filial and honest, what qualifications are there to enter the official career? Therefore, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the gentry class basically monopolized the official career. The father was a high-ranking official, and he had no reason not to recommend his son. Even if he recommended some poor children, their relationship would inevitably be unable to be separated from the master and disciple. This naturally constituted a non-blood-related family relationship, and at the same time they could recommend each other. In this way, it is basically impossible for those children from poor families who have no way but are talented to make a comeback. Does Your Majesty think Ye Yu said?"

When Emperor Taizong was exposed to the truth of history with modern scientific arguments, did Emperor Taizong ever come into contact with this argument? His anger gradually became quiet, and he was shocked instead, "You can continue talking!"

"Since I monopolized the career of the officialdom, how many scholars and scholars at that time did not come from prominent families? In this way, the gentry controlled the country's culture, classics and various schools of thought. Wouldn't this control social public opinion? If you have power, you will have money. If you have the power, you will be rich. If you become a local tyrant, you will be successful?"

"Monopolizing the career of officials means occupying the superstructure of the country, controlling public opinion means controlling the ideology of society, becoming a powerful man, occupying the land, this means grasping the lifeline of the economy. Can such a family have no personal armed forces? With this foundation, the gentry class will naturally grow bigger and bigger like a snowball, with guns, pens, and money bags all in it. I dare to ask the old man, is this power strong?"
