Li Shimin's face was gloomy, obviously no matter how delicious the food was, he couldn't completely feel at ease about Datang's current situation.

The war in the north was tense, and Tang's internal crisis was full of crises. Some of his relatives pretended to obey, but since they went to the fiefdom, those people stopped talking and seemed to disappear.

There are also some armies and forces in the melee period who are not willing to surrender at all. Li Shimin still has a little time before he is completely unified.

"Ke'er, those people, if you can help me deal with them, the throne will be yours from now on."

Li Ke seemed to be looking at a fool, and Li Shimin was extremely hurt by this look.

No, it's fine if you don't want to be an emperor, why bother to look at me with such foolish eyes, I'm also the king of a country anyway, don't you want to lose face?
What's more, Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin are still in front of you. These are my important ministers. Now it's all right. I don't know where Li Junxian has gone. These two guys have become your people. I was originally short-handed. The talent pool that is not well-off is even worse.

"Ke'er, don't look at me like that, I'm flustered."

Li Ke was busy making beef rolls, and didn't want to talk to Li Shimin at all.

"Ke'er, those people from Xuezong also know that after they entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the spies sent back news, but what happened to the barbarians and Nabuzhuang next door to the Star Picking Tower?"

Li Shimin didn't know the details of the cloth village, so he was suspicious that the cloth village opened by the Tang people was associated with the Hu people, which was a crime of stealing the country.

"Don't worry, Buzhuang is just playing tricks, and that barbarian is also playing tricks."

"You can just settle the Buddhist affairs now."

Li Ke said leisurely, "By the way, regarding the five surnames and seven Wangs, if you want to arrest them now, it will take some effort, or you choose to be shameless."

Li Shimin stared: "Boy, why are you swearing?"

Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin on the side didn't speak for a long time. Inside the cauldron, the two of them picked up chopsticks and wanted to pick up a piece of meat, but they were quickly interrupted by Li Ke and Li Shimin's words.

After going back and forth like this, the chopsticks were hanging in the air and did not fall for a long time. The two guys are now very hungry.

Cheng Yaojin muttered in his heart, Your Majesty, can't you talk to His Highness properly, why do you feel that you father and son are competitive and insist on competing for superiority.

Wei Zheng also felt uncomfortable in his heart. After a day of hunger, can't he have a good meal?Is His Highness important?Or is His Majesty important?

At this time, Wei Zheng must choose not to have the two of them as the most important thing.

After Li Ke ate a few pieces of meat, he opened his mouth slowly.

"If you want the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs to completely lose their power, then you have to support other powers."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he looked at Li Shimin, as if saying, the road is already here, it depends on how you choose.

Embarrassment appeared on Li Shimin's face. The national policy stipulated that he was very clear in his heart, but every time Li Ke spoke, he could have new inspiration.

For example, the five surnames and Qiwang who have been a headache to him all the time, these people are Li Shimin's confidantes.

"Ke'er, you don't like what you say. If I do this, what is the difference from those people with five surnames and seven wangs?"

Li Ke smiled: "Of course there is a difference. You are supporting scholars from all over the world, and they are the most virtuous group of people in the world. They stand on top of the court, and they will not let those from those aristocratic families pollute the Yanhuang blood." , contaminate the fate of the country, and they will not let their arrogance become the suffering of the world, do you think it is important or not?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and his voice suddenly softened.

"Hey, Ke'er, then tell me carefully, what should I do? I really want to hear it."

Li Ke was speechless, Li Shimin's face-changing speed was faster than that of a child, and the sky in June was not as good as his face.

One moment it was smelly and hard, and the next moment it became the true nature of licking a dog.

Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin have never seen this, neither have Li Ke, nor have Li Shimin himself.

Li Ke thought for a moment: "The imperial examination."

When it comes to the imperial examination, Li Shimin understands it in an instant.

"I have to admit that Yang Jian and Yang Guang in the previous dynasties were unique to the scholars of the world. Even now, I can't refuse the benefits brought by the imperial examination."

"But Ke'er, although there are noble sons from poor families in the world today, the number is very small. Reading is a rare thing."

Li Ke chewed the green vegetables, with a smile on his face, "If the humble scholars don't have a chance to stand out, then they won't stand out in the future."

"When the time comes, it will depend on who has a strong background in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Then you will feel uncomfortable."

"The most people in the world are not these rich and noble families, but the common people in the world."

Li Shimin's heart trembled, okay, okay, water can carry a boat and capsize it, so that's what it means.

"Ke'er, I understand!"

If you understand it, you will understand, why do you have to eat like crazy?You go back and make a strategy.

Li Shimin was swept away, leaving a mess on the table, "Ke'er, I'm going back to light up the night battle."

That night, Li Shimin was sleepless all night. Not only did he not sleep, but the two prime ministers, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, who were not too young, stayed up with him all night, and they were already yawning.

Fortunately, there was no morning court today, otherwise the two of them would definitely not be able to bear it.

"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious? This matter is related to the national system and needs to be discussed in the long run!"

Du Ruhui put forward his own point of view, staying up all night, I really can't bear it, isn't it a joke to expect a few people to formulate a strategy suitable for the imperial examination scholars in the world?
Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling with dark circles under his eyes: "This matter cannot be delayed, both of you are my confidantes, if I wasn't impatient, I definitely wouldn't have called you here to discuss."

For a moment, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were a little confused. Could it be that His Majesty has heard some ulterior secret?

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is a system left over from the previous dynasty. I think that although the imperial examination is good, it is not in line with the current Tang Dynasty."

"First, there were very few scholars in the Tang Dynasty. Even if you want to study, you need to wait until the people are rich."

"Secondly, it won't happen overnight for poor scholars to get ahead. I'm afraid the road to the imperial examination is out of date."

"Thirdly, if the imperial examinations are reformed, it will definitely touch the foundation of the wealthy family, and they will definitely make things difficult for His Majesty. Now that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty is not stable, it is not the time."

Li Shimin thought about it all night last night, and found that all the problems came to the root, and they were all blocked by a mountain.

That is the so-called five surnames and seven wangs, the Shandong gentry, and the Guanlong family.

Such a family is a mountain that stands before the people of the world.

"I want talents, and all the talents in the world should give full play to their strengths, instead of becoming vassals of wealthy families."

"Du Xiang, Fang Xiang, I have a wish that all the talents in the world will be in the net!"
