Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

After a pause, Xiao Qian still spoke.

"The biggest feeling is that times have changed. Printing and papermaking have had a great impact on aristocratic families and academics. Aristocratic families can no longer control the power of the world by controlling books and reading. The poor will rise, not those A poor family from a poor family, but a poor scholar who really came from the common people, the rise is inevitable."

"The biggest temptation for scholars is to leave a name in history, or to become an important minister of the court, to realize their ambitions, but the only way to get ahead in the same way is the imperial examination, and the former scholars are mainly concentrated in the world's powerful families. Even if they can't get ahead, You don’t have to worry about food and drink, and you can live a life that is a little rich at worst.”

"But these scholars who come from poor people are different. As long as they have an opportunity, an opportunity for them to study and rise, they will inevitably explode with a hundred times, a thousand times the power of scholars who come from aristocratic families! Huge number of people, hard-working people The degree and the strength of dedication will make these people give birth to real geniuses."

"However, there will still be a problem in this way, that is, the old powerful family will surely decline, but a new force will also be born. This new force should not be underestimated in the future. That is, teachers, students , students, students, etc. formed a force similar to a powerful family, and even such a force is more stubborn than a powerful family. Even if it is what your Highness said, even if your wishes are fully realized, it may not be possible. Eliminate this power. And they will gradually form their own power in the court." Xiao Qian said with a serious expression.

There was no special expression on Li Ke's face, but he took a serious look at these people again. He had to say that there is no simple thing who can become a bachelor in the Hongwen Museum, and besides studying knowledge, these people have more Most of the research is officialdom, or to use a word from later generations to describe it, it is politics.

They dare not say that they have reached the perspective of later generations in politics, but purely in terms of methods, they are not much different from those politicians of later generations. After all, these methods have not changed for thousands of years.

"You're right. If you regard the court as a party, it's normal for these people to have factions. There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things." Li Ke nodded. "Then do you know who you are?"

Xiao Qian and the others looked at each other, but they didn't answer this question, or they wanted to see what they looked like in Li Ke's eyes.

"There is such a group of people who are on the cusp of changing times, but they are unwilling to admit the arrival of the tide of the times, but they cannot fully control the stubbornness of the old times. They want to control the new power, but they cannot Abandoning their so-called traditions, and unwilling to abandon what they have learned all their lives, but now they seem useless. They are the remnants of the old era, but they cannot control the ship of the new era."

"In layman's terms, they are like the stones in the latrine, smelly and hard." Li Ke said lightly.

The faces of Xiao Qian and the others turned pale all of a sudden, red and white, with shame and resentment, but they didn't know how to refute, because they had been in this editorial department for more than half a year, and what they saw was even worse. More, they were sure, they saw something different.

Whether they want to admit it or not.

"But, then again, just like the poem I wrote, I am born to be useful. Everything in the world has its function, even if it is a stone in a latrine, as long as it is placed in the right place, Still useful." Li Ke said lightly.

"Then here comes the question, you stones, are you willing to put yourself in the right position?" Li Ke sat up straight, looked at them again, and asked calmly.

Xiao Qian and the others were speechless, or in other words, this was never a multiple-choice question, just like what Li Ke said before, not everyone has the opportunity to re-choose a path, and then re-choose opportunities.

They have this opportunity, it is because Li Ke gave them this opportunity, or Li Ke thinks that these "stones" are still useful, otherwise, they would have withdrawn from this era sadly.

"Your Highness, this has never been an option, has it?" a person on Xiao Qian's left asked with a wry smile.

"Why is it not a choice? There are always choices in life. Everyone has choices. Even if my father is here, you all have choices, but you only need to bear the results of your choices." Li Ke smiled.

A few people are speechless, so why not, as long as you are not afraid of death, there are many choices. The question has been around since ancient times. How many people are not afraid of death?

"In fact, Your Highness, you should understand that we have stayed here for more than half a year and have not left so far. In fact, we have already made a choice." Xiao Qian said with a wry smile. It seemed that Li Ke wanted to give them this face, but in reality Come on, is this face worth it?

They are still here, don't they make a choice early?Otherwise, what are you doing here?

"In this case, let's have an open and honest talk. After all, I need you for some things in the next year." Li Ke said lightly.

"Your Highness, please tell us what we should do." Xiao Qian took a deep breath, and the others were similar. At their age, they have already understood one thing, that is, as long as people are alive, it is good to be useful.

I am afraid that you are completely useless in the hearts of some people.

"I said, you are the stones in the latrine, smelly and hard, but you are also useful, and this smelly and hard, I hope, what you are facing is what you used to, those who stood with you One camp."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that my goal is to completely interrupt the fact that the aristocratic families currently control the power of Datang. This is my ultimate goal. Therefore, I need some people to help me bite these aristocratic families. As for this group of people, you must know them well.”

"So, you are the best choice."

"After all, you were abandoned by them, weren't you?" Li Ke looked at them lightly and said.

Xiao Qian and the other five fell silent.

Li Ke was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup next to him, and took a sip of tea. When facing different people, you must have different strategies. They're all brainwashed.

Just like the saying that everyone has heard in the previous life, if she is not deeply involved in the world, take her through the prosperity, if she has experienced vicissitudes, take her on the merry-go-round.

In fact, this is a positioning chosen by human nature. People all have weaknesses.
