Chapter 186 Luo Shui farts
For the time being, putting aside the fighting and killing of the rebellious army of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in their minds, the ministers of Zhenguan only felt that the direction of the light curtain made them more and more frightened.

So Li Shiji picked and picked a question that didn't seem so dangerous:
"Do the famous scholars of the later Han Dynasty have real talents and real learning?"

Li Shimin glanced sideways and said with disdain:
"True talent and learning, so what if you have it, so what if you don't have it?"

"Just like the so-called Eight Chefs, isn't it just that as a scholar, he exchanges wealth for fame in a more ostentatious manner?"

Speaking of which, Li Shimin shook his head and said to himself:

"It's not important how celebrities are talented, but it's more important to firmly hold on to this power and bless their descendants."

"If you hold the power in your hand, then the scholars who come here for the power should call their names for the celebrities."

The officials of Zhenguan could not help but straighten their backs slightly, only feeling a faint cold air crawling up from the tailbone.

Changsun Wuji laughed again and said:

"Without His Majesty's heroic strategy, without the loyalty of Zhenguan's ministers."

"Where did the Tang Dynasty come from? Where did the prosperous Tang Dynasty come from? Where did the great Tang Dynasty come from?"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, then smiled and said:

"Why don't you say a word?"

The atmosphere in Ganlu Hall relaxed. Du Ruhui had already thought about it and came out and said:

"Your Majesty, since it is said that the examination has been affected for thousands of years, then perhaps there is still room for improvement in the current imperial examination policy."

Li Shimin nodded slowly, and he understood this. For example, last year, he ordered the imperial examination to be patched and added the examination content of "Reading the Classics and History Part [-]".

These systems were repaired and repaired by Tang Chengsui and Sui Dynasty, but as for where there are problems and where they need to be improved, basically we can only try slowly.

"You can't imitate the Later Song Dynasty and include painting in the imperial examination?" Li Shimin said to himself unconsciously.

The courtiers were curious, so Li Shimin simply said:

"Previously, when I was reading the light curtain alone, I saw that there was a brothel emperor in the Later Song Dynasty who included painting in the imperial examination."

The brothel emperor!The Zhenguan officials were inexplicably shocked, only feeling that Song could always break through the imagination of the big guys.

"With such a name, he must be a faint king." Wei Zheng commented briefly, and the others nodded together.

Li Shimin complained in his heart, that is because you have never heard of the name of the king of Mediterranean debauchery called Rome, otherwise wouldn't you be going crazy?

It's just a pity that he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and the name of the Roman monarch was too lengthy, so he didn't write it down, and lost the opportunity to open his eyes to his courtiers.

Looking again at the records copied by Fang and Du, Li Shimin is not stupid when he sees the narrative about monopoly at the end:

"Since Wang Mang's expansion of the Imperial Academy has become a disaster for the family."

"Then, I should first expand the imperial examinations to perfect the common people, so that there will be no... Wei and Jin's filial piety."

Li Shimin's words were firmer than ever before, and all the courtiers bowed to receive the edict.

[Regarding the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there has been a related trend on the Internet in recent years. It is probably that some people are either more educated than the UP master, or they imagine that they are the grandson of the king, and they sighed:

"Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, absurd and beautiful."

Let’s not talk about how the words “absurdity” and “beauty” are put together. Just speaking of absurdity, in this era of Chinese history, if you are ranked second, it should be rare to dare to be ranked first.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiuping faced Zhu Tuan, who was guarding Luoyang City, and made an oath against Luoshui, saying that he would never pursue it.

During the Gaoping Mausoleum Incident, Sima Yi swears against Cao Shuang, who holds a heavy army, that he will never pursue it, and then punishes Cao Shuangyi and the Yi clan, leaving behind the reputation of "Luoshui farting".

Since then, the political struggle has been almost a life-and-death one, and no one believes in promises, even if the other party is the emperor.

Later, Jia Chong ordered Cheng Ji to kill Cao Mao in the street. After Jia Chong's death, the officials wanted to give him the posthumous title Huang, but Sima Yan refused to accept it and changed his posthumous posthumous title to Wu.

Since then, it is not uncommon to kill the king and force the palace, so Liu Yu wiped out the Sima family, and the most common comment is: well killed!

Luo Shui's fart and Jia Chong's regicide basically set the tone for the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Jin Dynasty essentially became a collection of powerful families who were at odds with each other.

The scattered power and the bottomless political struggle brought a long list of notes:

The Eight Kings' Rebellion, the Yongjia Rebellion, the Five Husbands' Rebellion, and then the Western Jin Dynasty fell.

Then the south followed Wang Dun's Rebellion, Su Jun's Rebellion, Huan and Wen's dictatorship, Huan Xuan's Rebellion, Sun Enlu Xun's Rebellion, Qiao Zong Zili, Liu Yu's destruction of Sima, and Hou Jing's Rebellion.

If Cao's behavior was a little hypocritical and warm, then Sima's usurping power and killing the king is basically equivalent to rebelling against Confucianism. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a big treason in Confucianism.

The biggest problem here arises: the Sima family still wants to rule the country with Confucianism, but the means to win the country is essentially to deny Confucianism.

The sole respect for Confucianism established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not only a means of governing the country, but also a universal social belief. After all, Confucianism respects rituals and laws, and this collapse brings about the collective degeneration of the aristocratic families.

On the one hand, they regard money as the meaning of existence, and extravagance has become common; on the other hand, they view money as dirt and like to talk about nihilism. There are too many examples of this in history books.

Wang Chen in Weihejian liked famous horses, so he built a gorgeous stable, with silver as the manger, and jade carved phoenixes and gold poured dragons as decorations.

General Yu Hong of the Southern Dynasties boasted to others that he ruled all four kingdoms!What's the meaning?All the fish and turtles in the water were caught, all the roe and deer in the mountains were hunted, all the rice and grain in the fields were plundered, and all the common people in the village were taken captive.

Even though he had wiped out an entire county, he still had a plausible argument: A man can only live for a hundred years, so if he doesn't enjoy himself now, when will he enjoy it?

So he married hundreds of concubines, decorated the chariots and horses with gold and emeralds, and used only thuja growing on the cliffs for the entire bedroom and bed, and used silver carved gold flowers as the word "shoufu", which was evaluated as "amazing".

In the family of Chen Sunjun, Lou Linquan, a singing boy and dancing girl, was known as a rare couple in the world. When he was ordered out of Yingzhou, he didn't want to take a carriage. He built a huge boat with more than ten large boats, built a rockery and a lotus pond on it, and walked down the river with The guests had a party on the river.Wang Ji, who also came from the Wang family in Taiyuan, recorded a small incident: Sima Yan went to his house for dinner, and felt that the pork tasted very fat, and asked how it was made?

Wang Ji answered easily: There is no secret method, the main thing is that pork is good. This little pig grew up on human milk.

The record of this incident at that time was "Wang and Shi did not know what to do", which means that this kind of behavior is not as good as Shi Chong and Wang Kai.

These two people should not need any introduction. Their fight for wealth left behind the allusion of Shi Chong’s fight for wealth and was even included in history textbooks.

In this period, the powerful attributes of the aristocratic families also played steadily. For example, the manor of Xie Lingyun's family, who praised Cao Zhi's talents, was a little larger than the current capital of Bangzi, Seoul, which was about 140 million mu in the Han Dynasty.

This manor is closed to the mountains and covers a lake. In addition to needing to purchase iron ore and salt from outside, it can also handle papermaking, textiles, medical clinics, iron smelting, pottery making, wine making, etc. and is self-sufficient.

The Xie family has more than one such manor, and the Wang family has more than a dozen. 】

"Kong Ming, as Yide said, we have become bumpkins."

Pang Tong sighed to his side.

Zhang Fei's face was clouded after seeing Wang Ji's deeds:
"Farm babies and children will die due to insufficient milk. How is this behavior different from pigs and dogs?"

"On the surface, poems and books are handed down from generation to generation, but in fact, what they do is worse than bandits!"

Liu Bei also opened his mouth wide. This short record of deeds shocked his soul. The powerful family can do whatever they want.

And what about the people?Where are the people?

Looking down at the written records handed over, Liu Bei only saw the figures of the people from the corners.

They were massacred during the Wuhu chaos, they were taken captive in Yuhong's territory, they built a huge ship for Chen Sunjun, and their mothers even went to feed pigs for Wang Ji...

The people are like the rice and wheat in the fields, and they are far inferior to the horses that can live in the houses of gold and silver.

These people created a dynasty that may be the most extravagant in the history of China, but this dynasty can neither defend against foreign enemies nor pacify the powerful.

"It's unreasonable for Jin not to perish." Liu Bei lamented.

His gaze continued to slide down, Liu Bei felt his eyes almost protruding:
"140...ten thousand acres?"

"And more than one? The Wang family has more than a dozen?"

"How is this different from founding a country?"

Pang Tong explained: "Of course it's different."

"If the country needs to be established and the country needs to be amended, the law must be followed in the execution and punishment."

"However, in such a manor, the powerful owner can take whatever he wants, and it can be decided with a single word."

"That's really more comfortable than the emperor, no wonder..." Zhang Fei smacked his lips and thought that if he led the army himself, it would be difficult for three thousand soldiers to attack.

"There are still people who think this and that future life is beautiful?"

Zhang Fei was amazed, and then said quite bluntly:

"You still want to be a powerful family, don't you want to see yourself worthy?"

Kong Ming remembered the text on the light curtain before, and said:

"In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people."

"From this point of view, this Wang Xie could not escape the path of death and family annihilation in the end, and was finally cast aside by future generations."

After shaking his head and sighing, before going back, Kong Ming had time to curse:
"This Sima family is really a crime!"

"One-heartedly seeking the throne but acting so lowly, how is it different from that Yuan Shu?"

Liu Bei shook his head: "Yuan Gonglu is just ignorant, and he doesn't behave like this."

Wei Yan asked curiously: "How can Cao Shuang, who has a large army, be deceived like this? Is this a fool?"

Pang Tong thought for a while and guessed:
"Gaoping Mausoleum sounds like the mausoleum of the Cao family emperor?"

"Sima Yi took advantage of people visiting their graves and captured them all, so Cao Shuang threw a trap at him?"

Then Pang Tong shook his head and denied:
"Guangmu said before that Cao Shuang was the head of the clan and had conquered Shu. He should not be easy to deal with."

"And this Sima Yi can be named Kong Ming's old enemy, so it can be seen that he is also a character."

"The two are fighting, and the inside story should be extremely complicated."

He knows a little bit about tactics, so he naturally understands that the Gaopingling change should be just the result. Before this, the Cao family and the Sima family should have been fighting for an unknown amount of time.

"It's just..." Pang Tong's eyes darkened when he thought of the trouble: "This Sima clan killed the king in the street, which is also regicide."

"It will lead to a catastrophe, short-sighted like Jiangdong rats!"

Wei Yan also looked at Kong Ming boldly at this time and said:
"If the military division..."

What if?Wei Yan couldn't continue talking.

So what if Sima Yi is killed?The military advisor's days are also numbered.

I only hate that the sky does not fake the Chinese New Year!
