Thank you brothers for the tip Lee House.
The Li Mansion in Xiangyang City, this autumn also built the seven-fold gatehouse given by the emperor in Chang'an City, because the emperor gave the Prime Minister's Mansion the first plaque, so the gatehouse of the Li Mansion in Xiangyang City is one more than that of Chang'an, which is an eight-fold gatehouse.
In front of the Li Mansion, hundreds of officials dismounted, and Shishu saluted.
Today, the middle gate of the Li Mansion is wide open to welcome the arrival of the holy car.
Li Shimin went over to pick up Li Chao and took him by the hand.
Li Chao smiled and asked, "Your Majesty will eat something at night?"
The emperor had a smile on his face, but he was already scolding Li Chao in his heart, really when he ran over on Chinese New Year's Eve, just to eat "I suddenly want to eat taro."
"Okay, the minister will cook for His Majesty himself."
The monarch and the minister entered the Li Mansion hand in hand.
Entering the hall of the house, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other prime ministers, as well as Qin Qiongcheng and other generals, also came over to pay tribute to the emperor again.
Li Shimin glanced at these important ministers in the hall, either the prime minister or the general, or the scholar or the prince.
This Li family is really a group of heroes.
"Eunuch Wang, you go back to the palace and invite the queen and the emperor to go to the Li Mansion together.
On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Shun was happy with the people in Li Mansion.
At the end, he added, "Invite the king of Hainan and other kings to come." ” Li Chao stood there, Li Shimin is really going to celebrate the New Year at Li's house this year.
Even the Emperor Taishang and the abolished prince had to be called over together.
Then the emperor did not give up, and asked people to call Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong and other princes of the clan.
At the beginning of Li Shimin's succession to the throne two years ago, he cut down many kings and changed them to county dukes.
Then this time, the famous kings of the clan like Li Xiaogong were all lowered, and there was no king in the clan except for the sons of Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
Li Shimin said that he wanted to eat taro paste.
Taro paste is a dessert, he wants to eat it, so Li Chao will do it.
The emperor left Fang Du Changsun and others to chat, and drove Li Chao to make taro paste for him.
The taro paste that the emperor wants to eat, of course, is not ordinary taro paste, Li Chao also made taro paste for Li Shimin before, boiled and mashed the taro, and then added red dates, cherries, melon seeds, winter melon sugar, sugar, osmanthus and cooked lard.
This kind of taro paste is called Babao taro paste, which has a good name, and it also means that it is made of eight materials.
It is a bit similar to eight-treasure porridge, but the difference is that taro paste is not porridge but a dessert made of taro puree.
"Your Majesty, please, wait a moment."
Li Chao stepped back.
Cheng Qian said hello to Li Shimin, and then came out with him.
"Why aren't you sitting in the hall?"
"I'm here to help the teacher."
Cheng Qian's natural way.
Although the time between the teacher and the student is getting along less and less, the prince is still as cordial and natural as ever to Li Chao, and the two are not polite, nor will they do any courtesy.
Li Chao smiled.
The two entered the back kitchen, and in the kitchen of the Li Mansion, there was a room specially reserved for Li Chao, which had all the kitchen utensils and ingredients.
Li Chao instructed the steward outside to prepare taro and other materials.
When the taro arrived, Li Chao also prepared other accessories, and Li Chao and the prince cooked the taro together.
Stir up small talk while adding fuel to the fire.
The prince talked about his participation in the Li family exam.
"I thought I could at least take the top three, but I didn't expect to get a thirteenth exam."
Li Chao added a handful of pine needles to the stove, the cold stove can not add a lot of firewood at once, you have to burn small branches first, the best is to have a thin leaf, and when the stove is warm, there is a charcoal fire, and then increase the firewood, then the fire will burn vigorously.
The pine needles are very good to burn, throw a handful into it, and the fire is very strong.
The prince tacitly agreed to take a few small pieces of chopping wood and put them next to him, and let him roast them slowly and ignite them.
"When I came back, I heard your master say that your grades are not watery.
Thirteenth place, this is your real result.
There are more than 1,100 candidates, and you can take the exam 13, which is already very good.

I know the test questions for this exam, it is still a set of papers that I personally produced, and I was originally going to keep it for you to test in the future, but I didn't expect it, your teacher and wife directly turned it out and took it and did the exam questions. ” Cheng Qian sat there, not smug.
Under the light of the fire, I could see that a little beard had begun to grow on his lips.
Rich in nutrients, coupled with constant exercise, the prince developed much earlier than ordinary children.
At such an age, he has already begun to grow a beard.
"Teacher, your examination mode is very good, if it is used in the imperial imperial examination, wouldn't it be better to take scholars for the country Why did the teacher preside over the imperial examination before, but never proposed to the imperial court to reform this law?"
Li Chao smiled slightly.
Although the prince followed the emperor to learn governance, and there were so many teachers in the East Palace to teach, in the final analysis, the prince was just a teenager.
He looks at things now and thinks about them, and it's not that comprehensive.
However, the prince was able to think of this, which still made Li Chao very pleased.
A prince who knows how to think independently is a good prince.
"I didn't suggest this law to the imperial court because it wasn't quite suitable.
At the beginning of the establishment of the country, there was instability at home and abroad, and even if it was reform, it had to be carried out one by one.
If you suddenly want to change all the deficiencies, then this step is too big, and if you take too big a step, it is easy to pull the egg. ” Li Chao is not an opponent of reform.
Generally speaking, since it is a reform, it must be because the old law is no longer suitable for the needs of development, and it is of course good to keep pace with the times and reform the new law at this time.
But the purpose is good, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it can be changed right away.
The process is also very important.
Li Chao didn't want to be like Shang Ying and Wang Anshi, as soon as they came up, they wanted to fully implement the new law, and directly shouted the slogans of reform and law change, although there are advantages to doing this, but there are also disadvantages.
Li Chao still hopes to do the same, distinguish the priorities, to put it simply, treat the headache and the foot pain, treat these emergencies first, and then consider comprehensive recuperation and treatment.
In fact, Emperor Li Shimin is also an enterprising person, and he has been adjusting the inappropriate places.
After Li Shimin came to power, he made a lot of changes, but the first thing to do was military power, personnel, finance and taxation.
It can be said that Li Shimin's eyes are right, and the military, personnel, finance and taxation are also the most important places in the imperial court.
Only by mastering these can we truly control the imperial court and concentrate power.
From the abolition of Xingtai and the governor's office, the establishment of the governor's office, to the division of various provinces, and then the separation of the north and south of the imperial court in the center, and the establishment of the Weifu in the local area, all of them were aimed at strengthening the military control of the imperial court, and now there is no longer a situation in which the army is in the hands of private individuals during the Wude Dynasty.
That's progress.
The same is true in terms of personnel, from the center to the locality, from the province to the state, to the county, and the adjustment of the assessment at the first level, and finally with the establishment of the new center under the Zhongshu Gate, with the adjustment of the eleven prime ministers in place, it also marks that Li Shimin's control over the personnel of the imperial court has been grasped in his hands.
The imperial court stepped up the implementation of the Juntian system, the implementation of the government and military system, the implementation of immigration to the real border tuntian, the implementation of the division of feuds, and the replacement of the princes' Xuntian, Yongye Tianjuetian, to the frontier, which was also a reform of the field that was one of the foundations of the Tang Dynasty.
On the basis of the Juntian system, the two tax laws proposed by Li Chao before are also the reform of the Tang Tian system and taxation.
These reforms did not shout any changes, and the big slogans of reform began quietly.
Sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty will slowly change the current method of mainly taking scholars from the shade of the door, and change to the main method of taking scholars from the imperial examination.
But this thing, not too soon.
The imperial court's implementation of the imperial examination will inevitably cause great damage to the interests of the old lords and military nouveau riche as well as the Dashi clan, and their opposition will certainly be very strong.
Even the emperor would not dare to easily touch the interests of these people.
The last time the grain was levied during the catastrophe, it was already a last resort, and in the end, a lot of concessions were compensated.
Li Shimin wanted to take back the fields they annexed from those powerful people, and he had to launch the card of dividing the seal, and then exchange the fiefs for these fields.
It's all an exchange of interests.
Now there is still instability inside and outside, and at this time, the emperor wants to reform the imperial examination, and he wants to violate the core interests of these nobles and bureaucrats.
Without a good external environment, it is very dangerous to do such a thing.
Li Chao didn't even mention it to the imperial court, because he knew that this matter had offended the public's anger.
"Teacher, can the imperial court really play the role of the central part of the Ping Domain, if a foreign enemy invades, what if these border princes who should be in the center of the Ping Domain do not resist or run away?"
The prince asked another question.
Li Chao put a few pieces of large chopping wood that had been ignited on the fire, and got up again to add some water to the pot.
"Actually, the question you mentioned is indeed a problem, but as long as the imperial court adds a sentence when dividing the territory, then this problem will not be a problem."
"Add a sentence and say something so magical" Li Chao smiled, "The princes have the responsibility to defend the land, and those who lose the land are deprived of their fiefs" This sentence actually has an impact on the Li family, but Li Chao feels that it should be added.
The princes, holding the fiefdom of the imperial court, of course have to do something.
Usually he took the land and became a prince.

As a result, as soon as the foreign enemy invaded, they fled.
So what is the use of the court wanting you princes?
Now directly add that the princes have the responsibility to defend the land, and those who lose the land are deprived of their fiefs.
In this way, there are some warnings for the princes, and when anyone wants to escape, they have to think about it, in case they run away, then this fief will be gone.
It's hard to seal, and it's even harder to think about it if you lose it.
For the sake of the fiefdom, they had to resist.
Of course, if it is the kind of person who has resisted desperately, but is still outnumbered after all, although there is responsibility, the court can also give them a chance, that is, they can recapture it with the court.
When they helped the imperial court regain the lost fief, they could still have the fief.
However, depending on the situation, some punishments such as reducing the seal of the princes who have lost their land should be made.
"Prince, don't do things straight, there is a word called winding paths.
Sometimes, when we set a goal, we can also take a roundabout approach and be more flexible.
Compromises, exchanges, etc., these are actually all possible.
"Hearing what the teacher said, I really want to have a fief."
"You are the crown prince, and your fief is the whole world, which is a fief given to you by God.
In the future, sooner or later, one day, Your Majesty will hand over these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to you.
Before that, what you need is learning and experience, and you have to make sure that when the thousands of miles are really handed over to you, your shoulders will be able to pick up, instead of being pressed over."
"Well, I see, Teacher."
The prince looked at Li Chao, "When I was in charge of the Tang Dynasty, I would have to be the prime minister of the teacher, and at that time, the teacher would be my middle school order." ” Li Chao smiled, "Okay, the teacher promised you, and then you will be your middle school order" t1706231537:
