At the beginning, I awakened the Taobao system

"My nephew's words are quite beneficial. The princes really need to learn from the directors of each family and use them for their own use." Fang Xuanling supported Chen Yi's suggestion.

When Li Shimin heard about Chen Yi's proposal, he said happily, "This suggestion is good. I think generals should give lectures, and civil servants should also give lectures."

Take its essence and discard its dross.

Even if a few cadres and famous officials are cultivated, it will be beneficial without any harm.

What's more, the prince Xianda, who continues to stay in the academy to attend lectures, must be knowledgeable and talented, and he will become a qualified heir.

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and recommended himself: "Your Majesty, I would like to give lectures at the academy."

"I have little talent and little learning, and I would like to go to the academy to learn more about military affairs." Li Daozong said.

"I am also willing to give lectures at the academy." Hou Junji said happily.

The enthusiasm of the military generals was high, and all the civil servants were unwilling to be left behind. Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling all expressed their wishes to go to the academy to preach and receive vocation.

Li Shimin was relieved to hear this, and agreed on the spot: "This is a list, the imperial court cabinet, the generals of the guards, and the six ministers. One day a month will be given here to give lectures, so as to cultivate more talents for the imperial court."

"Here!"

Fang Xuanling and others took the order.

At this time, Chen Yi had a whim, and said slyly: "Your Majesty, when the generals of the guards come to the academy to teach, I suggest that young generals from the Chang'an Army be gathered here to listen, broaden their knowledge, and improve their military quality. This book of war, everyone can talk and discuss freely."

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, I'm sure."

Li Shimin agrees.

Veterans give lectures, talk about combat strategies, and better inherit the art of war, which is much better than studying dead books.

The key point is that he looks forward to whether the book of war written by Chen Yi can be compared to "Shenwu Minutes".

After chatting for a while, Li Shimin said to the officials: "Xuanling, Keming, Xuancheng, Wuji stay here, Duan Lun, send the officials of the Ministry of Industry to make Quyuanli and movable type printing as soon as possible, and the rest go back."

"Here!"

All the officials nodded and accepted the order.

Before leaving, Xiao Yu glanced at Li Shimin curiously.

Cheng Yaojin rested his long arms on Li Xiaogong's shoulders, and said loudly: "Junji, Daozong, go to the residence of the Prince of Hejian County to have a look and try to have dinner."

"Yes, he should be slaughtered." Li Daozong agreed, and walked away with shoulders and backs while chatting and laughing.

All the officials left, and the queen and princess moved to the inner courtyard.

In the rain pavilion, only Li Shimin, Chen Yi and others were left, and it was quite clean in an instant. Chen Yi poured wine for them, and asked while drinking: "Your Majesty, what is the matter, so mysterious?"

Li Shimin said loudly: "I heard that you proposed to promote the imperial examination system, and I hope to discuss it again."

"Oh!"

Chen Yi replied perfunctorily.

But he was a little surprised that Li Shimin didn't give up.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were dark and dignified.

Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty reformed and implemented the division of surnames into clans. Four aristocratic families, Fanyang Lu, Qinghe Cui, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang, were eligible to intermarry with the royal family.

Over the years, huge interest groups have formed.

Weakening the family is undoubtedly pulling out a tooth, and a little carelessness will set off a bloody storm in the court.

Li Shimin decided to cooperate with Chen Yi and other spies because of this concern.

Noticing that Chen Yi was fooling around, he said loudly: "I have discussed with Xuan Ling and others before, but there is a lot of resistance to weakening the aristocratic family. You suggest to implement the imperial examination system. Once the news comes out, the aristocratic family will definitely retort. If you want to implement the imperial examination system, you must first weaken the aristocratic family. , what good plan do you have?"

"There are some strategies." Chen Yi said lightly.

However, judging from Xiao Yu's refutation of Wei Zheng's attitude, weakening the aristocratic family is easier said than done.

Definitely making money is like killing parents, and suppressing a family is a hundred times more serious than cutting off a person's money.

If the emperor does not make up his mind, or if he is vacillating in his actions, it may be difficult to succeed, and he may fall into a storm of public opinion when he proposes a strategy.

Chen Yi raised his glass to the brim, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this matter is like picking a chestnut out of a fire, and it is extremely dangerous. If Your Majesty is determined to weaken the family, I will naturally have an idea. If you only ask, I am afraid that the time is not yet ripe."

Li Shimin smiled lightly.

Immediately, they glanced at Fang Xuanling and the others to Chen Yi, quite dissatisfied with his sloppy behavior, and said sharply: "After the Northern Expedition, Xuanling has secretly written a letter, and the weakening of the aristocratic family was already on the agenda, but unfortunately it was delayed by the drought." Recently, the affairs of the Fan Yang Lu family are extremely bad, if we don’t weaken the family, are we going to just watch the Fan Yang Lu family’s collusion with foreigners continue to happen?”

"That's right, the Supreme Emperor has moved out of the Tai Chi Palace, and His Majesty has completely taken over the power. The timing is right now." Fang Xuanling said.

"If we don't weaken the aristocratic family, we will surely get rid of the big disaster. After several generations of the Tang Dynasty, the change of dynasty since the Northern Wei Dynasty will definitely take place." Changsun Wuji said.

Wei Zheng raised his forehead and said in a loud voice: "The aristocrats of the family are like vampires crawling on the people. They not only annex the land, but also rely on their own status to try to monopolize knowledge. If it is not eradicated as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous."

It turned out that the emperor had planned for a long time.

For a while, Chen Yi was full of confidence, and said bluntly: "As the saying goes, three years old is eighty, and the situation of aristocratic families is even more so. Since birth, relying on the power of their ancestors, they can get high officials and generous salary without any effort. The idiots flooded the officialdom and seriously affected the imperial government's decrees
When Chen Yi tried to explain the shortcomings of the family, Li Shimin was too lazy to listen to him, and urged: "The problems of the family, my heart is like a mirror, directly talk about your solution strategy."

"It's also simple. First, send people to compile the genealogy of famous clans all over the country, suppress the family in name, and take the opportunity to elevate the status of the royal family. Second, the imperial court ordered to prohibit intermarriage between the families and cut off their in-law ties. Third, kill the Lu family of Fan Yang as an example to the monkeys, split up the Lu family and move the Lu family's children to different regions on the grounds that the Fan Yang Lu family colluded with Goguryeo.

Based on these three decrees alone, they will definitely be able to deter the aristocratic family.

At this time, the timely implementation of the imperial examination system will inevitably greatly reduce the resistance encountered. "

call!
Listening to Chen Yi's eloquent description of his strategy.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all took a deep breath.

Among the three suggestions, the first actually coincided with them. As for the prohibition of intermarriage between gentry, Wei Zheng raised his mouth a little bit.

As for the third strategy, they have not yet thought about it.

"Nephew, are you sure?" Wei Zheng asked.

"of course."

Chen Yi said loudly that the suggestions he made were by no means aimless.

During the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin adopted the strategy of compiling the genealogy of the clan. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, he ordered the ban on intermarriage among noble families.

"If the aristocratic family resists, there is a more ruthless move." Chen Yi looked at Changsun Wuji while speaking.

Looking at it, Changsun Wuji couldn't help being startled, and shouted: "Stinky boy, what do you think that a certain is supporting His Majesty and supporting a weakened family."

"Don't play Wuji's idea, tell me your ruthless move." Li Shimin urged.

Like the Li family, the Changsun family belonged to the nobles of Longxi. At present, he has no intention of weakening the nobles of Longxi, so as not to get the notoriety of killing donkeys and tearing down bridges.

"Of course I believe my uncle."

Chen Yilang smiled and said that his most ruthless move happened to be Wu Xu's strategy of punishing Changsun Wuji, and said in a low voice, "The most ruthless and simplest is to drive the family officials out of the court and relegate them to marginal areas. As the center of the imperial court, the influence must be weakened, and there is little hope for Xianyu to turn around."

"You are going too far." Li Shimin refuted on the spot.

The aristocratic family is very harmful, but he has always been a meritocracy, employing people without suspicion, and dismissing officials for no reason, he can't do it.

"alright."

Chen Yi shrugged and didn't take it seriously, and added: "Compared with family officials, the imperial examination system selects talents and appoints talents. The selected officials are appointed by His Majesty himself, that is, they are disciples of the Son of Heaven. Their loyalty to the court must exceed that of the family. Furthermore, they have no background and are easier to control."

Chen Yi hit the point in this sentence, and Li Shimin quite agreed.

Chen Yi is not only strategic, but also more thoughtful than they thought, and his key methods are more ruthless.

As for the disciples of the Son of Heaven.

It does bring a lot of benefits.

Li Shimin said categorically: "This matter is settled. At that time, I will forcefully promote it. You must support me, especially you, Chen Yi."

"Here!"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji gladly took orders.

Chen Yi frowned slightly, expressing his doubts: "Your Majesty, why do I feel that you regard me as a pawn in charge?"
