"Father, I don't quite agree with what you said. I agree with this. I love the people and gather the hearts of the people. But if you want to say that talents are more important to govern the country, you should also know that for thousands of years, knowledge has been mastered in the hands of a few people, and many of the people at the bottom are wise. It is even more impossible for them to govern the country." Li Shimin put forward his own opinions after listening to his father's story.

Li Yuan was a little confused by Li Shimin's words and felt that what Li Shimin said made sense, but soon he thought of the method of selecting talents formulated by Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination.

Isn’t this a way to break the path that the aristocratic families have always monopolized knowledge? So I talked about the imperial examination with Li Shimin.

However, after a discussion between the father and son, they still felt that although the imperial examination was good, the selected talents were still too one-sided. After all, the imperial examination was held to select talents from the people and give the lower-level people a way to promote them. However, due to education issues, it is still difficult for the lower-level people to do great things.

After all, if you want to train a scholar, it takes too much time and money. Many times, due to the limitations of conditions, you may not necessarily have books to read if you have money.

In the end, the father and son still did not think of a good method.

Although they are not stupid, they are somewhat confined by their vision and thoughts, and have not thought about hardware at all. They have been looking for methods on the system and people. How can this work?

At that time, this discussion will make them, father and son, especially Li Shimin, clearer on the direction of governance, that is, suppress the aristocratic families, gather the hearts of the people, and appoint virtuous people.

The reason why the aristocratic families was suppressed was because, taking the Sui Dynasty as an example, there was no one who knew best than their father and son. That was the Sui Dynasty. Especially during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, most of the national finances were in the hands of the aristocratic families, which caused the court to lose money and was constrained by the aristocratic families everywhere.

The Qin Dynasty is an example, and it cannot ignore the lives and deaths of the people at the bottom like the Qin Dynasty.

You should know that during the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shihuang made laws, he never considered that the people of the other six countries who were unified by him could not adapt to the strict laws of Qin at the beginning.

But Qin Shihuang didn't care about this, thinking that as time went by, the people of the six countries would surrender in the end. Although the answer was as Qin Shihuang thought, the people surrendered, but they also accumulated countless resentment. In addition, Qin Shihuang did not kill the nobles of the six countries at that time, but just imprisoned them with Handan.

This caused Qin Shihuang to die. Under the instigation of his ambitious people, the remnants of the six countries who could not bear the Qin laws were easily summoned in the name of the nobles of the six countries.

Just imagine that if Qin Shihuang was a little cruel to the nobles of the six countries and tolerant to the remnants of the six countries, even if Qin II was so stupid and incompetent, the people and the ministers of Qin would tolerate it, looking forward to the emergence of the next generation of wise and famous ministers, instead of just one person rising up, so many people would rebel against Qin. After all, by the time Qin II succeeded to the throne, the Qin Dynasty had unified the six countries for nearly twenty years, and a new generation of people had grown up. As long as they could survive, who would rebel? So this king didn't want to be so eager. Look at Liu Bang, he would be cruel enough. Not to mention the remnants of the Qin Dynasty, even the ministers who might threaten the rule of the Liu family who accompanied him to conquer the world were slaughtered by him, but his policies were very good to the people.

As for appointing virtuous people, in this regard, the two generations of kings of the Li family thought they did well, especially Li Shimin, who was discovered and made great use of many capable ministers and generals under him.

"Father, have we all forgotten the serious business? Aren't we discussing how to cheat Wang Xuan, that bastard, and attack the aristocratic family with him? How did it become a discussion of the country's governance strategy and history?" Li Shimin looked at his father and said helplessly.

"What else can I say? You are ready here, send Gao Ming to the boy Wang Xuan's house, and then let him meet Zheng Guanyin by chance. When Gao Ming returns to the palace, he will pass it through his mouth. The matter will be resolved. But there is one thing that your brother-in-law values ​​feelings. Remember to protect your sisters and the others, otherwise that boy will really hate you for the rest of his life." Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin and said to him softly.

"I will explain these things. As for Gao Ming, I really don't need to send them. He is now talking about going to Wang Xuan when he has time. If I hadn't been suppressing him, he would have run away long ago. It seems like Wang Xuan is his father." Li Shimin said there jealously.

"Then you kid don't reflect on it, it means your brother-in-law is not good at doing it." Li Yuan said angrily when he saw his son's jealous look.

"What's better than me? That's that guy Wang Xuan, it's delicious to cook! He's just making some small things, and they're all liked by children. It's strange if Gao Ming and others don't like him. But to be honest, the things Wang Xuan made are really good. I also tasted the watermelon I sent you a few days ago. The taste is really good," Li Shimin said with emotion.

"Yes! Shimin, you said, Wang Xuan is really amazing. People who are in the middle of winter can grow green vegetables and fruits, and those strange things are all from his hands. But such a person really can't write. Do you think it's strange?" After Li Yuan said that, he looked at Li Shimin.

"Father, Shimin thinks that Wang Xuan is not able to write, but that he can't write the fonts we use now, or pretending. After all, when he scolds me and teaches them, it is reasonable and well-founded. From this point of view, Wang Xuan is definitely a knowledgeable person. And it is not because of this that we plan to cheat him and also attack the aristocratic family. If it can arouse his dissatisfaction with the aristocratic family, you are really good. It would be better if this guy can personally fight with the aristocratic family," Li Shimin said to his father sinisterly.

"That's right! Then let's take a good look at what kind of surprises your brother-in-law can bring us?" Speaking of this, Li Yuan also laughed.

But Wang Xuan, who didn't know that he was about to be in trouble, was leisurely returning home with his daughter.

But as soon as he got home, he found that the atmosphere was wrong. When he got to know, he realized that Ruping and Luo Yang had come before and told Li Xin about their affairs.

This made Li Xin explode. Although Wang Xuan's guarantee, Li Xin finally beat Ruping and Luo Yang in front of everyone in the palace to show his punishment.
