Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 164 The family is unlucky, the fault is mine

"Sure enough, as long as there is anything to do with power, the existence of the gentry is indispensable."

"I thought that these bastards would not compete with poor families and ordinary people for places in the imperial examination, but it seems that I was overthinking it."

"Even for the low-level imperial examinations like Mingfa, there are nobles coming to compete for places, let alone other subjects."

After laughing, there was only a trace of helplessness left in Li Zhi's heart.

There is really nothing to say about these pervasive gentry.

In order to ensure the advantage of the gentry class, this group of people can really do anything.

You really deserve to be the scum of a bunch of scum, yes!
Putting down the paper in his hand, Li Zhi stretched his waist, and his body became a little stiff when he started to move around.

"Ah! It seems that there is no need to deliberately pursue a specific direction, as long as the law of chastity is taught to the students according to the scriptures, it should be fine."

"But on the point of obedience, I still have to remind them, otherwise there are some screening questions, it's really hard to get past."

"The education on both sides adds up, and the difficulty is not too high in general."

"At that time, we will arrange a simple level exam, so that those students who are relatively poor in learning can go to the local government to serve as small officials, and the value of establishing this college will be reflected."

After moaning for a while, Li Zhi almost knew what he was going to do.

All that's left is to wait for the imperial examination to end, to visit those students who failed the exam with sincerity, and ask them to help them become part-time students.

The key game is not in the college, but in the court.

I just hope that the father doesn't pull his hips, but just pull his hind legs behind him.

Other than that, there's really nothing worth noting.

After getting up and moving his body, Li Zhi felt that his waist was still a little sore. Li Zhi went to the yard to check the potatoes he had planted earlier.

Well, it's no different than before.

Regardless of whether it is protected by a greenhouse or not, the soil does not even move.

The potatoes planted in flowerpots in the house have already grown green shoots of nearly five centimeters, and the ones outside are still unchanged.

Li Zhi began to wonder if all the potatoes outside had been frozen to death.

Otherwise, the gap between the two sides would be too big, it doesn't look like a species, okay?

Anyway, a batch of seeds survived and are still thriving, and Li Zhi didn't bother to pay too much attention to the two seeds that had been planted with painstaking efforts.

After taking a look, he didn't continue to observe.

Whether the two potato plants can survive depends on the fate.

Some things do not mean that if you put in your hard work, it will definitely blossom and bear fruit.

Li Zhi didn't force it, anyway, it's not important anymore, just let it go.

……

In a blink of an eye, several days passed.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the days of Shuowang again.

Originally, on this day, Li Zhi planned to impeach Zhang Liang.

After thinking about it, it was fine, and I planned to warn Zhang Liang in private, and the matter would be over.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal.

Impeachment for impeachment's sake doesn't make much sense.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhang Liang taking the initiative to be a licking dog.

Li Zhi also felt that it was not easy for a person to be an official, and he didn't want to add trouble to others.

So... this time, Shuo Wang didn't impeach anyone, and it passed away peacefully.

After the court meeting ended, Li Shimin left a group of ministers to discuss another matter.

Li Zhi was also named and had to stay in the court to work overtime.

When those lower-ranking officials left the hall, the court meeting officially began.

"I won't gossip anymore. Everyone understands the purpose of keeping you here. Let's share your opinions. Regarding the solution proposed by Yushitai, what's your opinion?"

What Li Shimin was talking about was a case of bullshit.

With the in-depth investigation of this matter, more and more cases were unearthed.

By now, it has reached the point where it is unstoppable.

Not only Du Chuke, but all the officials standing in the courtroom were more or less involved in this big case.

After a detailed investigation, there were at least a thousand victims in this case.

If it is placed in the age of information explosion, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty will be shaken by it.

Fortunately, the court did not publicize it to the outside world, otherwise this news alone would have caused heated discussions among the people.

Li Shimin's questioning was passed down, and Yang Shidao was the first to express his opinion.

"I have read Yushitai's disposal plan, and I feel that there is no problem with this plan, so I will use this method to solve this case."

When someone was the first to express his opinion, Du Chuke, as the person involved, had to stand up and express his attitude.

"The minister pleaded guilty and was punished. Please His Majesty draw up an imperial edict and supervise it!"

The incident happened because of him, even if Du Chuke wanted to evade responsibility, he could only admit the guilt.

This incident has already spread widely, if he continues to escape, everyone will scold him.

Of course, if Du Chuke pleaded guilty, he would still be abused by his colleagues.

For Du Chuke, there is no such thing as a complete retreat.

Either offend the world, or ruin his official career, there are only two options.

Obviously, Du Chuke chose to keep his official position.

In Li Zhi's view, this is a very wise and inevitable choice.

If he continues to be stubborn, the only thing waiting for him may be dismissal from office.

How can one be the Minister of the Six Books without even the responsibility to admit one's mistakes?
If you want to keep your official position, you must admit your mistakes.

The price is... he will be the target of many people's attacks!
"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Fang Xuanling took a step forward and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.

As soon as these words came out, everyone thought: Here we come!
Li Shimin turned his head and looked at him: "Fang Aiqing, please speak frankly."

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Fang Xuanling.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling is the savior of the noble family.

If he loses this debate, the gentry group will suffer a huge blow.

And the opponent he wants to defeat this time is Du Chuke, a traitor who betrayed his class in order to keep his official position!

"I don't know something, I want to ask the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry!"

Fang Xuanling directly pointed the finger at Du Chuke and asked unceremoniously: "I wonder what the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has done wrong, and he is willing to plead guilty and be punished? Please Du Shangshu speak out!"

Du Chuke glanced at him casually, and said indifferently: "It's unfortunate that the family has a liar who uses the authority of the government to bluff and deceive. The subordinate officials failed to fulfill the supervisory responsibility, and the fault lies with me."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry's words are wrong!" Fang Xuanling shook his head and directly denied: "The offenders are the distant relatives of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and they are relatives who have not been contacted for many years. Forgive me, they committed a crime. What's wrong with you?!"
