Before Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, a bunch of resentful eyes pierced Cheng Yaojin's back like knives.

A group of officials, young and old, looked at Cheng Yaojin one by one, wishing they could eat him.

No, if you like to eat locusts, eat more. Why do you have to pull us as a backstop?
Cheng Yaojin looked at the crowd with contemptuous eyes, "Don't look at me, I'm just a messenger."

"Locusts are delicious."

"If you don't eat it, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it in the future. There are only so many locusts every year. It's rare that there are so many locusts like this year, hehe."

While speaking, he took out a golden object from his sleeve and threw it into his mouth.

quack...

The crisp sound, accompanied by the smell of chicken, instantly filled the entire court.

All of a sudden, the young officials started to growl in their stomachs, swallowing their saliva one by one, trembling non-stop.

The reason why Cheng Yaojin said this is mainly because there are too many locusts now. Wei Zheng calculated that if he made locust powder and used medicine, it would not be used up for decades.

By the way, has His Highness caught all the locusts back?

Not only Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng also had the same idea at the time.

Li Ke didn't catch all the locusts, but 90.00% of the locusts are here.

When Li Shimin heard it, "Okay! Cheng Yaojin, you are finally smart once."

"According to this, these locusts eat the food of my people, starting today, eat locusts!"

Cui Mingan finally understood that the emperor didn't care about what he said or how he did it today. He was going to issue a decree today that everyone would eat locusts!
In terms of mind, who can compare with the emperor?

The momentum of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is infinitely weakening.

In the imperial study, Ma Zhou brought Li Ke's meaning.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's letter, and his beard was about to stand up: "No, no, you can't do this."

Ma Zhou scratched his head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to say about Your Highness."

"Ma Zhou, since you are here today, I want you to do two things."

Ma Zhou bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Li Shimin was very satisfied with this candidate, especially after Ma Zhou followed Li Ke for a period of time, he seemed to get rid of the previous state of resentment and completed the sublimation of his mood.

Overall, the atmosphere is different.

"The matter of the imperial examination will be left to you this year."

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth turned upwards. The imperial examination was his most powerful means of attacking the five surnames and seven hopes, and the selection of candidates was extremely important.

This person cannot be a person with five surnames and Qiwang, or Li Shimin's confidant, he can only be a neutral person.

Survive in Chang'an, survive in the court, without a big tree behind you, how can you survive?

Such a person is hard to find, but now there is a candidate: Ma Zhou!

Ma Zhou has no background, Chang He?He is a fart background.

Although Chang He is now General Zuo Wuwei, no one takes him seriously.

If this is the background, then what else is not the background of Datang Chang'an?
On the face of it, Ma Zhou had an average relationship with Li Shimin, and had nothing to do with civil and military officials, five surnames and Qiwang, and was even full of resentment.

Such a person is the best sharp edge.

These days, although Li Shimin didn't have direct contact with Ma Zhou, he basically checked out all the information about Ma Zhou.

Such a clean person is rare to come across.

"The imperial examination is a big deal, Ma Zhou, what do you think?"

When Ma Zhou heard the word imperial examination, blue veins popped up all over his forehead instantly.

In the past period of time, he has heard many rumors that this year's imperial examination is a sword of His Majesty.

This sword will directly sentence Wu Xing Qiwang to death.

If the Tudou promotion some time ago was to forcibly dismantle their power, the current imperial examination is to kill them.

The Third Highness seems to have mentioned that the imperial examination is to give the common people the opportunity to study.

In this way, the talent channel is opened, and the talents of Datang are inexhaustible, so it is no wonder that they are not strong.

Ma Zhou murmured: "Your Majesty, I think that at the beginning of the imperial examination, the number of places in different regions was balanced."

"His Royal Highness once said that if the poor have no chance to change their destiny, they will just turn the tables."

"So, from children, to young people, to middle-aged people, the imperial examination system must be well designed."

"No matter what age they are, they must have a chance to rise, so that His Majesty can use them."

Li Shimin was very satisfied, and nodded: "That's right, let's continue."

"Your Majesty, on the way to the imperial examination, in fact, children from rich families have opportunities, but so do poor people!"

"Ma Zhou had a lot of experiences in his childhood. He was begging and studying at the same time. He finally got his fame. Among the 50 people on the merit list at that time, only Ma Zhou came from a poor background. The others were from wealthy families. Even if he didn't study, Food and clothing are also indispensable."

Li Shimin frowned, that is to say, if he reached the end according to the development of the imperial examination, he might still be in a struggling family.

Li Shimin sighed, only to hear Ma Zhou slowly say: "The children of ordinary families, when they reach a certain age, if they only prepare for exams instead of giving birth, they will be stabbed in the back by the neighbors. After all, how long can the elders in the family keep busy?"

"It can be placed in a wealthy family. They can have nothing else to do and don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"The children of the poor are worried about reading and the articles written tonight, and they cherish ink like gold, but in the eyes of the children of the rich, those are just drizzle, aren't they just pens, inks, papers and inkstones, there are so many."

Ma Zhouyue said, his eyes became redder, "In such a world, the poor have no day to rise, and when will it end."

Li Shimin was deeply touched, how could he not know the meaning of the people.

It is true that he is the emperor, but who doesn't know how to become the emperor?
Five surnames and Qiwang are full of opinions on him, so he needs to fight back.

As long as the imperial examination problem is solved, I, Li Shimin, will be an emperor through the ages!
Li Shimin was very excited, but before he was excited for three seconds, Ma Zhou poured a basin of cold water down.

"This incident seems to put His Majesty under tremendous pressure."

Li Shimin frowned, "Ma Zhou, how do you think this should be resolved?"

Ma Zhou shrugged. Of course he didn't know, but he knew that someone must have a way.

That is a fairy-like existence, and that is His Highness the Third Highness.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly smiled: "Let's go, let's go to Ke'er."

In Yong'an Garden, Li Ke was concentrating on how to make the ants fight the centipede beside him. At this moment, a big face appeared at some point, almost sticking to Li Ke's face.

"Hey, Ke'er, are you playing?"

Who else is it not Li Shimin?

Li Ke dropped the stick in his hand, and looked at Li Shimin helplessly: "What's the matter, which concubine rejected you again today?"
