.Chapter 10: No trace of one disappears (1)

The southwest wind blows. Although the sky is approaching dusk, the heat continues to rise from the ground and from the sky with the evening breeze. At the end of the west horizon is a large area of ​​crimson and purple sunset, like a fire, and the fire is pressing on the various palaces of the tall palaces, so the continuous palace groups are covered with magnificent red smoke and purple clouds.

It's still very hot and stuffy.

Outside the window, each of the palaces could not stand the heat. They were wearing thin silk skirts, with only a wisp of ions tied inside, playing and walking under willow trees or locust trees, because the fabric of the skirt was thin and the age-old palace was cut, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Staring outside, but Li Wei was definitely not looking at these beautiful palace nvs, he was thinking about his thoughts.

The Tang Dynasty had many advantages, and it would not be overly corrected like later generations. A seventh-rank county magistrate could accuse the military of arrogance like Yue Fei, effectively ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army. The Tang Dynasty was also relatively open and tolerant in its ideas. Of course, this open and tolerant was reserved in its bones, and was extremely arrogant towards all the Hu people and the visits of the Byzantine envoys, even if they regarded them as the barbarians and the self-confidence was too high.

However, this kind of self-confidence can guarantee the blood of the soldiers and even the entire nation.

This is Li Wei’s favorite place.

It is also easier to accept new things than other dynasties. For example, the clothes, music, customs of the Hu people, and the Tang Dynasty tolerate them. For example, Ye Ci Mingyue did not have a formal enthronement, and with tacit understanding, they were placed in the Eastern Palace, and there were no ministers to advise them.

But there is one thing, the benefit.

That dynasty, as a ruler, had to consider all interests. It was because the interests were not handled well that Wang Anshi's reform failed. In the Tang Dynasty, interests were the top priority, and all the top families could look down on the royal family. There were also huge descendants of meritorious deeds, even the emperor, and they could not ignore the interests of these British people.

Any change will involve various interests. For example, the simplest thing is to make some dams and steepness. In order to delay the steepness of the river canal, you must dig a canal. These canals cannot be opened to open mountains and ridges, and you must walk along the valley. Some farmland will inevitably be flooded, and this is the person who suffers the interests.

Further away, building wharfs and inns and warehouses will lead to huge benefits.

There are still fewer disputes of interest caused by the two channels. If there are various changes in the future, the disputes of interest will be even greater. Your own methods will become weak, which requires the help of your mother.

Liu Rengui asked again: "Your Majesty, this is your idea."

"yes."

Liu Rengui didn't understand why His Majesty had this idea. As His Majesty's confidant, he didn't know it, so he let Cheng Wuing know it. But Li Wei didn't need to explain it anymore. Pei Xingjian also heard about the matter and came to the East Palace. He told the story again, and then said unconvincedly: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager cannot do this."

"How can the Empress Dowager do this?" Li Yiyan also said angrily.

"Li Qing, Pei Qing, don't worry." Li Wei said: "This matter is not that simple... Whether it is the Queen Mother's proposal or I propose, as long as it is implemented, it is for the strength of the country... If it is not for the sake of rights and struggles, the Queen Mother's implementation of various changes, I am very welcome. If the Queen Mother wants to be strong, I need to make some revisions to the court's policies today. As long as there is a revision, many people will inevitably be dissatisfied... There are some constraints in the court, and even if I see its benefits, I dare not implement them. If the Queen Mother does it, it will be better."

"Your Majesty, it's not what you think..." Li Yiyan was a little anxious. Compared with the emperor, the Empress Dowager's strengths are the skills of power and conspiracy, and the methods are decisive and vicious, while the shortcomings are righteousness and actions, especially actions. So no matter what the Queen's method is, in public opinion, almost all the people support the Emperor. However, if the Queen's idea is implemented, then the Emperor is just an idea, and the Queen is the action, the idea is important, or the action is important?

The balance will further tilt the Queen Mother.

"Don't worry, let's wait for the first time... Since my mother wants to reform, let's reform first."

"Your Majesty..." Li Yiyan was still worried.

But Pei Xingjian finally understood Li Wei's meaning and said, "Grandpa Li, Your Majesty is right, let the Empress Dowager take the lead first."

Shangguan Wan'er stood beside her and laughed.

Li Wei sighed in his heart. As a qualification, Li Yiyan is not as good as Shangguan Wan'er.

Cheng Wuing brought it in.

Li Wei asked him to sit down and asked, "Why did you convey what I said to you and Pei Lang to your mother?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager summoned me to see you, and then asked a few questions by the way. I dare not hide it. Unexpectedly... I am guilty." Cheng Wuing suddenly leaned on the ground and said.

"You get up."

"I am frightened and dare not get up."

"I don't blame you when you get up. In fact, whether it is me or my mother's implementation of this decree, it will be beneficial to the country. But I still have some ideas in my mind, please come over and discuss it together."

He is not very cautious about Cheng Wuing Li Wei and Pei Xingjian. He was recommended by Wu Zetian. If Wu Zetian asked, he would definitely tell everything. Besides, he was just a general and could not shake Li Wei's fundamentals. However, Pei Yan would become Li Wei's biggest stumbling block.

Cheng Wuing sat down again, Li Wei said: "My mother is very smart and learns from others. She thinks of martial arts, which is more perfect than my idea. But it is not easy to implement. What is the purpose of martial arts? Just like what I proposed at the beginning, it is to promote more talents. So the mother said that the strategy of bows and horses should be tested. But it is not the case? For example, there are good bows and bad bows. The bows used by children from aristocratic families will be different from those used by poor people. Even if the court uses bows uniformly, what about horses? Horses in Masili are also divided into good and bad. How can the horses be used fairly? This is secondary. The main thing is strategy. If the disciples of aristocratic families were able to write good words when Pei Lang participated in the martial arts, how much could the poor disciples learn? Even if there were some strategies in their stomachs, they might not be able to write them out, and they might not have good words when they wrote them out. Some people even don't even know how to write them."

"Your Majesty, it makes sense. If I were asked to participate in this martial arts ceremony, I would not be able to take out the words I wrote." Cheng Wuing said.

"Not only the strategy of the martial arts examination, but also the imperial examinations have many disadvantages. Every year, many tribute students come to study in the two capitals. If the family is in good condition, they don't care. Just think that their son goes out to relax and see the world. If the family is not good, how many families can withstand this economic pressure? The enrollment rate of the imperial examinations is very low. The worse the family is in the better position, the worse the study experience. Originally, our dynasty established the imperial examinations to maximize the use of talents for the country and also to give some talents the opportunity to stand out. However, the various disadvantages of this system may cause some families to bear the burden and the bad wife and children will be separated."

Li Shimin once entered the imperial examination room and saw that in the examination room, from a young talent to a white-haired old man, he said proudly: "All the heroes in the world are in my pocket."

These capable people devoted their efforts to the imperial examinations and did not have time to figure out how to rebel. So Li Shimin said this. However, when the Li family founded the country, they mostly joined heroes and heroes, or helped famous families, such as the Pei family in Hedong, Xue family, Taiyuan Wang family, etc. Therefore, in essence, the gentry system of the Western Han Dynasty continued this.

Various policies are also taking care of the interests of the aristocratic families. Including this study tour system, when the disciples of the Wang family in Taiyuan came, they must be young heroes, and the disciples of the Cui family came, let alone. Fortunately, the famous aristocratic families were still very noble at this time. In the late Tang Dynasty, Zheng Bantang, Cui Bantang, Lu Bantang, and Li Bantang often appeared in the court.

It is better to say that it is to bring all the heroes of the world into the pocket, but it is better to say that it is to bring most of the heroes of the famous family into the pocket, but the benefits that civilians receive are very little.

"This is a fact..." Liu Rengui thought.

If there is no strong ranking, even if his talents are as talented as Wang Bo and Luo Binwang, he may not be able to get on the high school list as he wishes. For example, if Xi Chong had not met His Majesty, even if he had a good talent, even if he wanted to pass the Jinshi exam, it would be like he would have reached the top.

Or, like himself, how much credit should he make and how long does it take to enter the political core?

"There is another way," Li Wei stood up and walked a few steps and said, "Whether the Wen Ju or the martial arts mentioned by his mother is for the country to absorb talents, rather than providing more opportunities for the powerful and nobles to enter. First, he reminded the examiner not to leak the test questions."

This article was done well. The Tang Dynasty held dozens of scientific examinations. Although he was admitted to the Jinshi with the title, no official dared to leak the test questions and said: "The second is the system of misleading names."

"The name system?"

"Well, it means using the surname of the student to be a pill, and the content of the test paper is accepted. When the results are released, the name of the student will be opened and the list will be published. But unlike the literary review, the martial review cannot focus on the beautiful handwriting and smooth articles, but focuses on strategy. You can use military generals as examiners to avoid more disadvantages."

"This is a good idea," Cheng Wuing said loudly.

Not only did he think it was good, but Li Yiyan and Liu Rengui also thought it was a good idea and looked at Li Wei silently.

"It's a temporary idea for me. I don't have to hurry now. There are many more important things to do now, such as Pei Lang's expedition to the Western Regions."

"yes."

"General Cheng, you should retreat too. Since your mother wants to set up a military affairs supervisor and a military practitioner, you can also think of a way for the sake of the country."

"Here."

Seeing Cheng Wuing retreating, Li Yiyan said anxiously: "Your Majesty, why should you tell him?"

The Empress Dowager only talked about the military affairs supervisor and the martial arts, but did not explain the specific strategy. Li Wei did not talk about the specific approach, but the general direction has been formulated. Based on this general direction, the Empress Dowager can make a great contribution.

"Li Qing, everything is for the country..."

"But..." Li Yiyan didn't say anything, Liu Rengui pulled his arm and said, "Li Qing, the method is good, but there will be a lot of trouble."

Li Yiyan suddenly understood.

...

Cheng Wuing left the East Palace. He was furious and sweated. Although he had some military talents, he was not Pei Yan. As a top family, he had always been famous for his official positions in the Qing Dynasty. Although the emperor was so angry that he once put a knife on his neck, he could not do anything to Pei Yan.

It's too easy for the emperor to deal with himself.

Fortunately, I pretended to be stupid and went crazy.

However, the emperor has a good idea. A famous system can not only solve many problems of the imperial examination. No, the empress dowager put forward the proposal and let all the ministers think about it. Pei Yan probably wouldn't have thought of this section. If Liu Rengui rushes to say it in front, and the idea was originally what the emperor thought, but the empress dowager won't fight for merit. The empress dowager not only could not make achievements, but was instead treated by the emperor, Liu Rengui, Li Yiyan and others.

He found Pei Yan immediately, and he was not loyal to Wu Zetian, but had a close relationship with Pei Yan. He began to take office, and Wu Zetian made an exception to make an offer, mainly Pei Yan's recommendation.

Therefore, I found Pei Yan and told him about the incident.

"The name system is not a good name?" Pei Yan was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

"Yes, Mr. Pei, this idea is very good."

"General Cheng, I know, why do the emperor know that you will notify the Queen Mother and say it out?"

"The emperor also wants to work together."

"You underestimate the Emperor."

"I didn't underestimate the emperor, he was very capable."

"General Cheng, the idea is a good idea, but it is definitely not as simple as you think," Pei Yan frowned.

"I still don't understand."

"It's profit...you should go back first, wait for me to report to the Empress Dowager." Pei Yan sent Cheng Wuing away and came to Shangyang Palace. He told the story.

"Pei Qing, what do you think?"

"Although the method is right, it is difficult to implement. The court plans generals, and most of them use meritorious disciples as generals. Except for a few descendants of founding meritorious deeds, most of them have made meritorious deeds, but they are not as good as rewards. Their children then enter the three guards. They obtain their resumes in the three guards and improve step by step. For example, in the battle of Qinghai, many disciples from such families have been seeking positions in the army. Although they have sacrifices, as long as they survive, they will be more satisfied. If a military affairs supervisor is established and a military election is used, the selection of generals will be very large. If a person is recorded with a name, it will be fair and will win the hearts of many soldiers, but..."

“However?”

"However, the family of meritorious officials will lose an important privilege. Not only the martial arts, but once the Wuqi system is implemented, the Wenqi will inevitably adopt the Wuqi system. The Wuqi is just a selection of generals, and the Wenqi is truly a pillar of the country. In fact, studying abroad has the benefits of studying abroad. Let the ministers look at the talents, morality and morality of these students studying abroad.

"Then Pei Qing was just objecting."

"I don't know that if the system of misleading names is implemented, there are many disadvantages, but there are also many benefits. For example, if a more fair choice of people, at least who advocates the ceremony first, the chosen cold people will thank for their kindness. It is another thing that has never happened in history, and it can be recorded in history. For example, if Your Majesty, he will also help the Queen Mother. If this article is implemented, he will implement some policies in the beginning of advanced innovation, and there will be fewer controversies in the future." He said three articles intermittently, and even guessed Li Wei's thoughts.

It was the emperor who took a move, and it was not good to not take it, and it was not good to take it.

This person with a good mind also felt embarrassed.

To put it simply, Wu Zetian and Pei Yan can fight for power while making the country strong, but they are not in their hearts. However, no matter what measures are taken, they will damage the interests of some people. Just like the military affairs supervisor, Li Wei also mentioned the system of fame, which makes the military affairs supervisor more perfect.

This is the good side, the bad side, which is who is the evil one first.

If Wu Zetian and Pei Yan want to covet this credit, the evil ones must do it first. But don’t be covetous. Well, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and Wu Zetian’s discussions have become empty talk.
