Speaking of the establishment of the crown prince, although Li Shimin made his eldest son the crown prince on the day he ascended the throne, this was more because of the situation at that time. In fact, in his heart, there was no obsession with the establishment of the eldest son as the crown prince. Because he himself was not the eldest son, if he had such an idea, he would not have rebelled back then.

In his heart, the prince must be a talented person, at least not worse than him. Otherwise, the country he has won and the achievements he has created will become a dream bubble and nothing can be left behind.

At present, both Li Chengqian and Li Tai obviously cannot meet this standard. Li Mu is very good, but unfortunately, he does not have the qualification.

After seeing off Changsun Wuji, who was scared, Li Shimin called Yang Fei over again. Although she couldn't speak, looking at this face that was almost similar to Wang Ou, it could still bring Li Shimin a moment of peace. The setting sun shone on Yang Fei's face, making it look more and more radiant. Li Shimin smiled comfortably, took a sip of wine, and didn't know where his thoughts were flying.

...

The decree was issued from the Secretariat, and soon all three provinces and six ministries received the news.

The emperor issued an order to set up a Xiezhi Academy to specialize in the practice of law. Xiezhi is a divine beast in mythology. The large ones are like cows and the small ones are like sheeps, similar to a kirin. It has thick and dark hair all over its body, bright eyes and a horn, and usually has a horn on its forehead. This horn is amazing. It can distinguish good and evil, loyal and treacherous, and distinguish right and wrong.

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Duke Zhuang of Qi had a minister named Renli Kingdom, who fought a lawsuit with another minister named Zhonglijiao for three years. Because the case was difficult to judge, Duke Zhuang of Qi asked Xie Zhi to listen to the two of them read the complaints themselves. As a result, after reading the complaints of Renli Kingdom, Xie Zhi had no expression. Before Zhonglijiao had read half of the complaints, he turned over him with a corner. Therefore, Duke Zhuang of Qi ruled that Renli Kingdom won the lawsuit.

Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Xie Xi has been a symbol of Chinese law. Some dynasties, even the clothes worn by the censors, were embroidered with Xie Xi. Therefore, it is very reasonable and appropriate to use Xie Xi to name the yamen for practicing the law.

Like the legend before, the chief of the Xiefeng Academy was the chief of the censor Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng was famous and no one objected to this arrangement. However, the second half of the decree caused widespread discussion.

This time the law is a major event. It cannot be decided by a single yamen, nor can it be decided by a few ministers after consultation. In addition to Wei Zheng as the chief of the court, it also requires a lot of people. The imperial edict says that we should recruit well-educated people and study the laws and regulations one by one. Where does this well-educated person come from? How to define it?

The Shandong gentry were excited. If you want to talk about the well-educated people, would the Shandong gentry be fewer? Even if you choose according to the proportion, they must be the dominant ones.

Didn’t Li Mu want to practice the law? He must pass the Xieyuan to practice the law, right? Then let him see what it feels like to pass any of the government orders he wants to amend.

However, their fantasy ended only in one morning, because Li Mu went to court again this morning. In the afternoon, news came out that Li Mu believed that Wei Zheng was biased in selecting people and would not be fair, so he proposed to be the deputy director of the Xiefeng Academy to supervise it, causing chaos. Li Mu debated with a total of 18 people in the Liangyi Hall, with no one being his opponent. Seeing that the army was defeated, Wei Zheng stood up and participated in the practice of the law by not using Zuwang to participate in the practice of the law, in exchange for Li Mu not interfering in the Xiefeng Academy. Li Mu still disagreed, and in the end it was the emperor's interference that the matter was settled.

In the end, the plan proposed by Wei Zheng went bankrupt, and Li Mu did not succeed, so the matter came to an end. In the evening, an order came out of the palace again. Xu Jingzong and Chu Liang, the second one of the 18 scholars of the former Qin Wangfu, were ordered to fill the head of the Xiefeng Academy and the supervisor, and were ordered to recruit bachelors from the Chongwen Hall and Hongwen Hall to serve as the Xiefeng Academy.

The names of Xu Jingzong and Chu Liang immediately became the focus.

Some people know about the two, but some people don’t know about the two. But the next day, everyone knew about the lives of the two, because the Tang Dynasty Daily published a new page, and specially introduced the two people. It was too late to hide, and focused on introducing the erudition and resume of the two people.

Both of them are the 18th bachelor of the Qin Palace, and they are also the 18th bachelor of the Hongwenguan enthroned after Li Shimin ascended the throne. The slight difference is that Chu Liang was famous in the previous dynasty, and he was old and highly respected. He was specially invited by Li Shimin to establish a Literature Museum to raise scholars, and among the 18th bachelor of the throne, he was also in the upper reaches of the 18th bachelor of the year. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was in a semi-retire state, and only entered the palace to explain when Li Shimin had something to ask about, and he was a consultant type

He has a son named Chu Suiliang, and now he is a living servant. He is good at calligraphy. Although he is not as famous as Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan, he is also a leader in the younger generation. Li Shimin asked him to come out and be a poor master. Although his official position is low, he is a poor master. He is in charge of seals. Without seals, no rules cannot be implemented. The meaning is self-evident. This person who is only loyal to the emperor will inevitably execute the emperor's will, which cut off the idea of ​​all forces in secret to do something.

As for Xu Jingzong, his rise to power, it is rumored that Wei Zheng was inseparable from Wei Zheng. Xu Jingzong was much younger than Chu Liang, and among the eighteen scholars in the Qin Palace, he was considered to be the last place. Moreover, many people know about him, and he despised his virtues. It is said that this "beauty" is not his turn, so why did he choose him? His official position is even higher than his senior Chu Liang. The public's discussions all stem from his friendship with Wei Zheng.

In the early years, Xu Jingzong escaped from Yu Culture and went to Wagang Village, and worked as a clerk with Wei Zheng. Even some people who were flirting with him were digging deeper. Xu Jingzong's nephew Xu Ji is now doing well in the Internal Affairs Office, and with Wei Zheng's help, he was able to study in the Tang Dynasty Technical School.

His nephew is a favorite disciple under Zhulu Hou, and he is also in the old friendship of Wei Zheng. Xu Jingzong suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone and became a "popular chicken", which attracted the attention of all forces.

But surprisingly, when many parties threw out their olive branches to get close to him, Xu Jingzong closed the door and saw no one. Even Xu Ji, the nephew who was staying in his house, was rushed to the duty room of the Gongyao, and he acted as if he was keeping people from thousands of miles away.

His cold attitude dispelled the enthusiasm of countless people. Just like his popularity, his popularity quickly dropped. Another thing, after two or three days of fermentation, became a new hot spot in Chang'an City.

Everyone knows that the boss behind the scenes is the number one luxury place in Chang'an City, the Emperor. He spent a huge amount of money to publish a leaflet, claiming to hold a review activity called "Talented and Beautiful Women". The activity is divided into nine periods, each period is one tenth, totaling three months. Because the Tang Dynasty stipulates that it is a quit every ten days, and it is not known whether it is a coincidence, but it just fits the day of the event.

Since we talk about evaluation, we naturally have to distinguish the levels. The content of evaluation has been reflected in the reputation. Men and women are naturally comparing talent and women are comparing appearance. The odd period is when men compete on stage, women watch plays under the stage, and even period is when women watch plays under the stage, and men watch plays under the stage.

By day, when the ninth period ended, the imperial examination was almost over. Therefore, the Heaven and Earth promised that the final top three places also had the saying "the top scorer, the second scorer, and the Tanhua". In other words, in addition to the two top scorers in the Changcai Department this year, there is also one top scorer in the Heaven and Earth. With such a setting, only the Heaven and Earth dare to release such words.

Not only that, in the ninth period, there is also a special friendship activity. If anyone can achieve good things and get married, it will be provided by heaven and earth to provide a lot of dowry and dowry, and the respected "Longxi Li Jiacheng Gong" will be the leader of the marriage, which is really rare.

After a few days of fermentation, the whole city was in full bloom. At the beginning, people felt that what the leaflet said was too exaggerated, and they all felt that the palace might come forward to stop it. But after a few days, there was no news in the palace. As if it had acquiesced, the young men and women who were thinking were relieved and gradually began to sign up. In addition, the business in heaven and earth became much better. Some young ladies and young men from some wealthy families came to inquire about the news and felt embarrassed to stay there, so they had to order a meal. At least four dishes and one soup was needed, and they spent it in just thirty or fifty taels.

...

When Li Yuan was in the valley, he felt comfortable eating hot pot, so he asked Li Mu to make a set of copper pots for him. Li Mu took the time to make it and brought it over happily. Unexpectedly, he met Li Shimin who came to protest.

It was the third time that Li Shimin came, so he wanted to persuade Li Yuan to cancel the "man and beautiful woman". However, Li Yuan disagreed no matter how he said it. Li Shimin had no choice but to deal with his father, and happened to see Li Mu who hit the gun, and caught him and scolded him.

After scolding him, he couldn't do anything about him. He was so hungry that he used the copper pot brought by Li Mu. Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and one Li Mu, three of them started to sautify the mutton.

In fact, Li Mu still prefers to eat beef, but recently, the beef in Chengfu has not died suddenly for many days. The beef supply is not in time, so he can only settle for the second best mutton. Li Mu does not like to eat mutton, which means eating hot pot. There are seasonings to cover up the smell of mutton, otherwise Li Mu will never eat it.

However, Li Yuan and Li Shimin were very happy to eat. For them, mutton was a meat that was eaten more frequently than beef. Moreover, the meat of the lamb was tender and simmered in water and cooked. It was not limited to the amount. Unlike beef, it had to be cooked, and there was not much. I was always worried that I wouldn’t eat enough.

This mutton hotpot is now slaughtered and cut into pieces of meat. In other words, the chefs from heaven and earth use imperial chefs, with superb skills and unparalleled sword skills. Otherwise, at the speed of the three people eating meat, they would not be able to serve them at all.

"Your Majesty, how about it?" Li Mu was holding a glass of glass. This was the "treasure" he planned to give to Li Yuan with the copper pot today. The wine in the glass was not ordinary. This was the "wine". This wine was not made by him, but the "Persian wine" sent to him by the caravan of Zhangjiazhai yesterday. His fiancée, who was thousands of miles away, was the "Persian wine" sent to him by Zhangjiazhai's eldest daughter Zhang Tianai.

Li Shimin drank a little, his face flushed, and he laughed: "You think I am unaware of it? I just wine, have I never drunk it? But you are the cup..." Li Shimin raised it, looked at it carefully, and praised: "It seems that your skill in making glass is one step closer. Can even cook containers now?"

"Your Majesty, you forgot, haven't you given you a colorful glass bottle?"

"Oh, yes..." Li Shimin sighed and said, "I gave it to Yin Concubine." As he said, Li Shimin glared at Li Mu, and said, "It's all you! It's all you blamed! If the King of Qi had not gone to Qizhou, I was afraid that Yin Concubine would be too sad, so how could I give her the colorful glass bottle..."

"Fart!" Li Yuan raised his hand and slapped Li Shimin on the back of the head. Li Shimin frowned and looked at his father, sighed helplessly, and muttered: "Father, my son is the emperor now, you can't beat him."

"There are no outsiders here, what's wrong with hitting you? If you are unhappy, will you hit me?"

"Son doesn't dare," Li Shimin muttered, suddenly raised his hand, slapped Li Mu on the back of the head, and laughed loudly after he finished slapping it, as if he was so happy.

Li Mu didn't dare to fight back either. He raised his butt and moved the stool, hid in a place that Li Shimin could not reach, and honestly lowered his head and continued to eat.

"King Qi, is it Li You?" Li Yuan snorted and said, "That boy has a heart like a wolf. If Li Mu hadn't been there, he would have almost offended his emperor sister. Can I forget this? It would be better to let him get away, and stay by his side is not a good thing. I was just a thoughtful person back then. I should have killed all the Yinshi Master's sect and left him with a second... Humph!"

Li Shimin said embarrassedly: "Father, what happened in the past is, Yin Fei and I... Alas, it's been so many years, don't blame me."

"Don't care about your business," Li Yuan waved his hand, suddenly widened his eyes, and said, "Then you don't care about me, Jiangshan has been tormenting you. I'm old, what's wrong with having fun?"

"But..." Li Shimin said with a bitter face: "You can't say that you are the top scholar. The top scholar is to select materials for the country. What do you say!"

"I've delayed your selection of materials?" Li Yuan snorted and said, "You are taking the essence of articles, I am taking the poetry, songs, you are taking the family, country, and the romantic, what's the connection? You don't like anything. The old man has been living for a long time and has to get you in trouble. Or you give me a glass of poisonous wine and you bury it. You'll have nothing to bother you."

When Li Shimin saw this, he was anxious again and hurriedly said, "If your son didn't say anything, he would do whatever his father wanted."

"This is almost the same." Li Yuan picked up the cup to drink, and suddenly saw that the wine was gone, so he put the cup down and knocked on the table: "Pour, pour the wine!"

"Hey." Li Shimin picked up the wine pot and filled it with his father. Then he glanced at Li Mu who was stuffing meat into his mouth, drank the wine in the cup, and knocked on the table.
