Early in the morning, an uninvited guest arrived.
Li Shimin actually took his eldest grandson Wuji for a private visit, and the two of them wore a white robe and jacket, like an ordinary scholar.
I didn't bring guards with me, and the Ouchi masters also dressed up as ordinary people and scattered around.
When the two arrived in front of Li's house, they didn't come in directly, but squatted in front of the stone archway in front of Li's house and stared, as if they had never seen the world from the two passes.
In that way, it aroused the suspicion of the gate of the Yue Wangfu.
Just as the head of the family Ding team was about to come out to drive people away, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, and Su Dingfang came.
Lao Niu has just returned from the Western Regions and has come to Beijing to gather in the court. reported to the various yas, after the assessment of the military department, he immediately followed the elder brother to the Li Mansion.
As a result, as soon as the brothers got off the horse in front of the stone archway, they immediately saw Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, and they were almost scared.
These two, what are you doing squatting?
The stone memorial arch of the Li family is very large, the emperor specially let people repair, on this horizontal street of the Li family, there are two memorial arches at the intersection of one east and one west, and the emperor has also issued a special decree.
Passing by the two archways of the Li family, the general dismounted and the prime minister got off.
"Your Majesty, Duke Wei, this is" Li Shimin saw Cheng Biting Jin, who was hanging a golden axe immediately, and naturally stood up, "Oh, I have nothing to do, I came to the street to stroll, I just happened to walk here, and I saw that the archway of Li Chao's house was quite magnificent, so I took two more looks." ” "Oh, it's magnificent."
Lao Cheng also pretended to look at it a few times, "It's much more magnificent than my family." ” Li Shimin glanced at Qin Qiong a few times, "You are" "Oh, Wen Yuan's sister-in-law is going to get married in a few days, let's come over to help."
Cheng bites the golden road.
He, the governor of the Chinese army, should have been stationed in Luoyang, but now in Layue, all the Xuanfu assassins from all over the country will enter the Beijing Dynasty, so of course he doesn't have to toss back and forth, and he will return to Luoyang to take office after the Lantern Festival.
Su Dingfang, the governor of the northern part of the town, and Anxi are all protecting cattle and entering the country, which is also the same.
Qin Qiong is now promoted to the deputy privy envoy, so it doesn't matter, anyway, now the imperial court has changed the system of rest, from the original five days off to five days off, just two days off a week.
"Wei Zheng picked on their good relatives, and his son married Li Chao's sister, how many people in the world envy him" Li Shimin shook his sleeves and said with a smile.
Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, "Wei Zheng is not as good as Your Majesty, Your Majesty has married Wen Yuan." ” "Hahaha."
Li Shimin laughed.
The eldest grandson Wuji next to him also smiled slightly, his eldest grandson Wuji had an in-law with Li Chao.
His daughter was given to Li Chao's son.
Calculate carefully, Li Chaojie's in-laws are really important ministers in the court.
The eldest son married Princess Changle, and the eldest daughter married the crown prince.
Then he also married the Taiyuan Wang family, the Boling Cui family, and Sun Fujia, as well as his eldest grandson, and the two younger sisters were also married to the sons of the prime minister Wei Zheng and the prime minister Fang Xuanling.
Coupled with Li Chao's own marriage with Qinghe Cui, Xingyang Zheng, and Fan Yang Lu, the Li family's in-law network is really strong.
Li Chao heard the housekeeper's report that Qin Qiongcheng had come to visit and came out to meet the guests, but he saw Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji in white shirts in the flower hall, and couldn't help but be stunned unexpectedly.
"I was hanging out with Mowgli Weifu, and I just happened to walk to your door, and I met Shubao and Biting Gold as guests, so we followed."
Li Shimin said with a smile.
Li Chao didn't know what to say for this kind of reason.
Qin Qiong and the others are here today to add makeup and send them to the dowry.
As one of the Li family's most closely related families, especially Qin Qiong, who is also Lianniang's father-in-law, of course he will not be stingy.
Each person was given a 100-acre Zhuangzi, and a few shops were also sent, as well as a lot of furniture, silk, porcelain, etc.
Li Chao knew that several families had good conditions, Qin Cheng and them were now all county kings, and Niu Jinda was also a national prince.
The income is not low, and the rewards are many, plus they follow the Li family to do business together, this is a lot of popularity.
Although these additions are thick, they don't make them bleed, so they are generously accepted.
Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji happened to meet, and of course they had to express themselves at this time, so the two of them took a Zhuangzi out and made up for it.
Because the emperor is there, the atmosphere is inevitably not so relaxed.
Li Shimin also felt it, drank tea, and simply talked to Li Chao about business.
"Wen Yuan, I plan to make a comprehensive adjustment to the imperial examination next year.
I had seen the method used by the Li family to recruit scholars in the territory before, and the examination method was really good.
Regardless of background, meritocracy, and my imperial examination should be the same, when the line papers are canceled, and the papers are also marked with a vague name.
I would like to ask your opinion on how to make this imperial examination better and select more outstanding talents for the use of the imperial court."
Although the imperial examination before the imperial court had one subject per year, many talents were admitted, and it was constantly adjusted, from the initial dozens of examinations to the Ming Jing Jinshi and other junior college examinations.
But there are still many problems in this imperial examination, one is that even if it is a Ming Jing Jinshi Branch, it does not all depend on the results, but depends on the reputation, and the papers must be submitted to the nobles first, and when the results are admitted, they are also admitted to those famous scholars, and they often have to look at the family background.

Therefore, the vast majority of those who were selected in the end were either the children of those families or some talented people who did good poetry, but these people were often not the people Li Shimin wanted.
In particular, after this year's restoration turmoil, Li Shimin's impression of the children of those families has been greatly reduced, and he now wants to hire some scholars from the poor and small landlord yeoman peasant class, because these people are the most supportive of his new law.
"Wen Yuan, you have resigned from the titles of Shangshuling and Tongping Zhang several times, and I can't force you to stay.
But you're so talented, you can't just be idle.
In this way, you will prepare for the imperial examination reform of the imperial court, and starting next year, the new imperial examination system will be adopted, and you will also be the chief examiner.
After all, you were the examiner of the first imperial examination in the martial arts.
Li Shimin smiled and handed over the task to Li Chao.
"Wen Yuan, tell me what you think.
How should the imperial examination be reformed, and how can the talents needed by the real imperial court be selected?"
Li Chao has been thinking about the true meaning of Li Shimin's words.
What is Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with the current imperial examination, and what is his real demand for the imperial examination.
Only by understanding these problems can he propose the direction of the imperial examination reform, otherwise, if it cannot be consistent with the emperor's direction, then the reform will definitely not succeed.
The emperor needed talent, but not just talent.
The deep-seated purpose of the imperial examination is to change the current system of taking scholars, which means that the emperor actually wants to change the official system. t1706231537:
