Chapter 136 Exams and hidden dangers

Li Chengqian didn't know what Li Shimin had to do, but he didn't lose. He raised his head and said stiffly: "Father, my son is still in a confinement, the food price has been calmed, and there is nothing wrong with me here..."

Li Shimin wanted to beat Li Chengqian at this moment, but there was no reason. He had just calmed the food price.

Of course, since Li Shimin was determined to find fault, he would be in trouble if he wanted to add a crime.

"Why are you dissatisfied with me for punishing you for being confined?"

Listening to Li Shimin's insidious sound, everyone in the hall was shocked, but everyone knew that Li Shimin wanted to teach his son a lesson, so he wouldn't say much.

Li Chengqian was the first to feel the resentment in Li Shimin's heart. At this time, if one does not respond well, he will suffer a great loss. He had to lower his head and say, "As the crown prince, he naturally knows that thunder, rain and dew are both kindnesses. He will do any of his father's will meticulously, and he will never be dissatisfied with any dissatisfaction."

Seeing Li Chengqian lowering his head and turning his eyes, Li Shimin snorted coldly, "Then I ask you why you rejected all the scholars whom I selected for Chongxian Pavilion?"

This is what Li Shimin cares most about. Li Chengqian killed Li Tai and excluded Changsun Wuji. Although Li Shimin was dissatisfied, it is understandable that Li Shimin came here like this. Moreover, he could look at these things in a transcendent way, but how could Li Chengqian not give him face?

Seeing that Li Shimin had been dark for a morning, Li Chengqian finally mentioned this matter, and he argued: "The son-in-law did not turn them out. The son-in-law also sent someone to inform them to register for the Dong exam."

The ministers in Liangyi Palace only realized at this moment why Li Shimin refused to give up on Li Chengqian today. What a good official appointed by the emperor. If you ask them to take the exam with others, even if you pass the emperor's face will not look good!

Li Shimin became even more angry when he heard this. He suddenly stood up and looked at Li Chengqian condescendingly and said, "Take an exam? Do you need the person I have selected to take the exam again?"

Seeing that he repeatedly found a way for Li Shimin, Li Shimin became more angry, and he also felt annoyed. He looked up at Li Shimin and calmly turned back and said, "It's not that my son doesn't believe in the eyes of his father, but that he is afraid that ignorant people in the world will know this and think that his father is a nepotist, which makes the hearts of the people in the world cold.

Let them take the exam together and let the world know that the father is as wise as a torch, and that he knows no difference."

When Li Shimin heard that Li Chengqian had not bowed his head to admit his mistake, he forced himself to make excuses in front of him, and was furious and walked back and forth twice in front of the throne in anger, muttering: "Exam, exam..."

When he turned around, he saw that Li Chengqian still had the expression of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, he roared loudly: "How do you ensure the fairness of the exam?"

Li Shimin was really angry this time, and his voice echoed in the entire hall.

The exams in the Tang Dynasty were unfair and there were no rules.

The candidate wrote the paper himself without making a name or copying it. The examiner could directly see that this was the paper of a certain candidate.

Candidates can also give the examiner the investment bank paper in advance, which is the articles they write or the articles they ask someone to write for the examiner to read. After the examiner has read them, he will order you to pass the Jinshi. Some young people who are favored by the powerful think it is okay to recommend the examiner.

As an emperor, Li Shimin was well aware of the drawbacks of the Tang Dynasty exam, so when Li Chengqian mentioned the exam, he thought that Li Chengqian was deliberately slapped him in the face.

It's obvious that the exam you held is definitely unfair, so you can squeeze out the people I arranged.

Seeing Li Shimin's eyes red, Li Chengqian asked himself, and felt a moment of fear, but soon shouted back and said, "I will naturally have a way to ensure fairness."

"Your Highness, please say less!" Gao Shilian hurriedly spoke out to persuade him. The other ministers in the palace sighed in their hearts, what was wrong with Li Chengqian? He has never stopped since the dynasty meeting on December 1 last year. Almost every time he met Li Shimin, he had a bad time and parted...

Seeing that Li Chengqian was still stubborn, Li Shimin laughed angry when he saw that he took two steps back and pointed at Li Chengqian and said, "Then tell me how to ensure fairness in the exam." As he said that, he sat back on the dragon throne and waited for Li Chengqian's high opinion.

"Your Highness, please admit your majesty a mistake!" Yang Shidao hurriedly stood up and grabbed Li Chengqian, hoping that he would stop beating Li Shimin again.

"You don't have to persuade him, let him say it! Let me also see his ability." Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Yang Shidao to retreat. Seeing this, Yang Shidao had to retreat back to his seat.

Li Chengqian's anger was completely aroused by Li Shimin. He knocked his crutches hard and walked back to his seat to sit down. Then he took a deep breath and said lightly: "Since my father wants to listen to the minister there, let's talk."

Li Shimin turned his head aside and ignored him, while other ministers lamented in their hearts, "What kind of evil is this going to be done?" The prince spoke to the emperor like this...

"I had already asked the examination room to be repaired a few years ago. There are three thousand separate examination rooms in Zuochunfang, the East Palace. Each person can only sit in his own small examination room. During the entire examination, the soldiers will be inspected.

Before entering the venue, the candidates will check whether they are carrying anything. After the exam, the ministers will seal the names and origins on the test papers according to the arrangement, so that it is impossible to tell who is the paper." When Li Chengqian said this, the ministers sitting below did not feel gasping for breath, lamenting that Li Chengqian was too strict. It was not that they were so stupid, but that he had never seen such a person. It was only after the Song Dynasty that the mess started here more than 300 years in advance.

Li Chengqian ignored them and continued: "After the paper was sealed, the paper was handed over to the civil servants in the East Palace to copy it. A paper copied by the civil servants was handed over to other civil servants for comparison, and the paper was correct and handed over to the examiner to review the papers without error.

The son-in-law was preparing to find more than a dozen examiners to review the papers, and the examiners were interested in the papers for review.

When reviewing the papers in the main examination, the unselected papers are messed up and re-splied to the examiners to see if there are any missing talents.

If the examiner finds that there are good answers, he can also hand them over to the examiner for review.

In order not to let them be bribed by the outside world, all examiners and examiners will let them enter the examination room immediately on the day of ordering, and they will not be allowed to come out until the end of the papers.

As long as the exam starts, no matter who is the person who is out of the examination room for reasons, he will never be able to enter again."

When Li Chengqian said this, he stopped and looked at the ministers in the hall. When he saw that the ministers including the prime ministers of the two prefectures were all stunned. With their knowledge, he thought that this was absolutely fair.

Looking back, I saw that Li Shimin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and I thought to myself that I have learned from the wisdom of future generations, why are you still having a dark face?

He was unhappy, but asked lightly: "I wonder if my father thinks that the test method of my son minister is fair?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian intricately and said meaningfully: "Chengqian, you are very smart, but the king's intelligence cannot be used to plot against others."

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and reminded him of Emperor Yang of Sui. Changsun Wuji once told him that Li Chengqian had the shadow of Emperor Yang of Sui. At that time, Li Taigang was the best relationship with Li Chengqian, so he thought that Li Chengqian was more kind than Emperor Yang of Sui, but now...

Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and the Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui system. However, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and a large group of ministers under him were not very knowledgeable. Moreover, it was the time of Confucianism's decline, so the Han Dynasty inherited many laws of the Qin Dynasty, such as corporal punishment, which was abolished during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han.

Although the Tang Dynasty also inherited the political system of the Sui Dynasty, because Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was very yearning for Confucianism, the fundamental idea of ​​governing the country was different from that of the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty governed the country with Legalism, while the Tang Dynasty governed the country with Confucianism and Taoism.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin issued an order to move Duke Zhou out of the Confucian Temple to worship Confucius. This is mainly because Duke Zhou did not take away his nephew Cheng Wang's country, but Li Shimin...

This is the foundation of the prosperity of Confucianism after the Tang Dynasty, but it has little to do with Emperor Wu of Han's supremacy of Confucianism.

In Li Shimin's eyes, Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui were both mean, ruthless and unkind. The Sui Dynasty lost its power because Emperor Wen of Sui was mean, ruthless and unkind, and Emperor Yang of Sui was cruel and unkind.

Therefore, Li Shimin's thoughts in facing Li Chengqian at this time were very complicated.

"Since His Highness has been successful, I think he has not deliberately disobeyed Your Majesty. Besides, if this set of test methods is effective, it can also be fair." After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Ma Zhou admired Li Chengqian's method very much, so he spoke to ease the atmosphere.

Li Shimin no longer had the intention to upset Li Chengqian at this time. He wanted to consider whether Li Chengqian was still in line with inheriting the throne.

After a while, Li Shimin waved his hand powerlessly and said, "You all retreat."

Li Chengqian thought that his test method had hit Li Shimin, so he happily withdrew from Liangyi Hall.
