Ganlu Temple.

Due to too many things happened during this period, Li Shimin was overworked, and his body was obviously overwhelmed.

At this time, his face was a little pale, but he still insisted on checking the author, and Empress Changsun was quietly by his side, serving tea and water and taking good care of him.

"Your Majesty, the affairs of the world can't be dealt with, we still need to take good care of the dragon's body!" After a long time, Empress Changsun couldn't bear it anymore.

She could clearly feel that Li Shimin's complexion was getting worse and worse. If this continued, there was a high possibility of serious problems.

"Now the matter is at a critical moment. An order has just been issued to set up the imperial examination. You must personally check the related things, otherwise there will be more trouble!"

"The people in the aristocratic family are eyeing them like a tiger, I... must not relax easily!" Li Shimin shook his head resolutely.

It was at this time that footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Changsun Wuji's figure quickly appeared in front of the two of them.

When she saw Changsun Wuji, Queen Changsun was obviously relieved. She kept winking at her brother, implying that Li Shimin urgently needed a rest now.

but.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had always been extremely intelligent, seemed to have not seen it. Instead, he came to Li Shimin with a solemn expression, and took out a memorial from his arms.

Although Empress Changsun was very upset, she also knew that her elder brother would not make jokes, so she swallowed hard what she wanted to say.

"Your Majesty, this is about the imperial court setting up imperial examinations. After the news spreads, Your Majesty should take a detailed look at the situation in Chang'an and all nearby counties and counties!" Changsun Wuji's face was quite ugly when he said these words.

Did Li Shimin feel the emotion of the other party? He immediately put down everything in his hand, took the memorial and read it carefully.

soon.

His already pale face became even more ugly. Suddenly, the memorial in his hand fell to the ground, and he spat out a big mouthful of blood.

The emperor's sudden reaction startled Changsun Wuji and Changsun Bohou, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked with concern.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Li Shimin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and felt that the breath in his chest became much smoother.

Just now, after seeing the news recorded on it, he only felt a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't even breathe.

"It's much better now..." Li Shimin shook his head slowly, showing a little despair.

"It's because I didn't think carefully, and actually forgot about these guys' tricks. Go and call Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng. This matter needs to be discussed and discussed!"

Changsun Wuji obviously knew the contents of the memorial, so he turned and left without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Empress Changsun asked in confusion while beating Li Shimin's back lightly.

To know.

For so long, she has never seen the emperor and her brother behave like this.

"I'm going to open the imperial examination for ordinary people. People from the aristocratic family feel threatened, so they try their best to stop it. Now all the books related to the imperial examination have been bought out!"

"It's only been a few days. Chang'an and the surrounding counties are already hard to find. At this rate, the whole Tang Dynasty will be like this soon!"

"I want to select real talents for the imperial court, not just based on status and status. Now that all books have been bought out, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to study!"

"It's even a problem for them to study, and it's a joke to take the imperial examination!" Li Shimin sighed a long time, with no concealment of remorse in his expression.

After what happened during this period of time, he was indeed a little proud.

I forgot the means of the family and these people, and thought that everything would be so simple.

Empress Changsun could feel the danger just by listening to these words, so she naturally understood Li Shimin's current predicament better.

"Your Majesty don't need to worry too much, there will definitely be a solution!" Empress Changsun comforted softly.

Not long after, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others came here quickly under the leadership of Changsun Wuji. Empress Changsun knew that what they were going to talk about next was very important, so she turned and left tactfully.

"I think you all know the matter, let's talk about it..." Li Shimin leaned his head on the soft couch, and slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, he felt more tired than ever!
"This incident happened too suddenly. Before we could react, these guys bought out all the books. There is really no good way to solve it now!" Wei Zheng shook his head with a wry smile.

"The problem now is that we know the means and purpose of these guys, but we have nothing to do with them. If the matter of the imperial examination is not handled well, the prestige accumulated so hard by Your Majesty will be in vain!" Changsun Wuji mentioned the problem The essential.

The reasoning behind it is very clear, but there is no practical solution.

Hearing their discussion, Li Shimin felt even more depressed.

"It's all my fault for not thinking carefully!"

"I... have a good idea!" At this time, Fang Xuanling squinted her eyes and said in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, everyone including Li Shimin immediately set their eyes on him.

"I have seen a technique called woodblock printing. The speed of making books is quite fast, and the cost is not too high!"

"If we can print relevant books on a large scale and put them on the market quickly, we may be able to solve the current problem!"

Nowadays, this era already has related technologies of engraving and printing, but it has not yet been popularized on a large scale.

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately, but Wei Zheng's next words shattered his illusion.

"In addition to solving books, there is another more important problem, that is, the imperial examination is time-sensitive. Before books are printed on a large scale, ordinary people and children from poor families will still be in the current situation!"

"When it comes time to set up the imperial examination, it is impossible for ordinary people to appear. Even if the problem of the follow-up books is solved, the purpose of trying to teach these people has been achieved!"

Wei Zheng also seemed extremely helpless when he said these words. No matter how you looked at this matter, it seemed that he had reached a dead end. He had to admit that the reactions and abilities of the people in the family really should not be underestimated.

Li Shimin was silent...

At this time, he seemed to have seen that the imperial examination room was full of children from aristocratic families, and that the future court hall was almost full of people from aristocratic families.

I will be completely controlled by these people...
