Considering that the situation was all planned by Li Er, the matter did not seem so dangerous.
But what kind of medicine is in this gourd still makes people very curious.
This question was quickly answered.
Then, I saw the smile on Li Er's face suddenly became a little brighter.
At this time, all the officials below were chatting privately, some simply guessing what kind of errand this was and how to do it, while those with a long-term perspective were already studying how to arrange their own people to take control of this matter.
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and the others were always watching the changes in Li Er's expression, and knew that all this was secretly planned.
Seeing Li Er's expression, I felt a chill in my heart, knowing that the rhythm was coming.
Sure enough, then Li Er coughed slightly and spoke, "Have you finished reading? What do you think of this booklet...?"
…
After Li Er finished speaking, the private chat among the officials below suddenly fell silent.
For a moment everyone bowed their heads solemnly, and then they exchanged glances.
Wait, your majesty's booklet...is it really of any use?
This is just an album, what else can it be used for?
What's there to feel about this?
For a moment, everyone was a little confused no matter what thoughts they had just had.
But... on the other hand, since Li Er asked this, it was a God-given opportunity.
Whether you are a basic Cypriot person, you are simply trying to get something out of it, or you are planning to establish your own party members and influence, this is an excellent opportunity.
After all, if you can show your intelligence in this area from the beginning, you will be able to take control of your affairs later, right? If you don’t have the right to take charge, what can you do to influence someone else?
Of course, the mere mention of this matter is already a huge benefit. The question now is who should pick the peaches first.
In the past, whether it was a large family with five surnames or seven hopes, there would have to be a round of seniority rankings and competitions for fame and power within the family, and finally the winner would be decided.
But since it is Li Er who is asking the question in front of the audience, of course everyone should rely on their own ability. We are all brothers from aristocratic families and should settle the matter first.
How to divide the interests in the future can be discussed later, but it is also a huge advantage to be able to show some splendor in the court first, whether in the court or in the secret flower hall.
At this moment, the ministers in the room began to exchange glances even more intensively than before, and their faces were even full of anxiety.
What is Te Niang’s booklet for?
Each page above has a painting, and the word below seems to be the name of the painting.
Such a collection of picture albums, who knows what this is...
As for these paintings, there seems to be no connection between them, and the content of the expressions cannot be seen at all.
All the great scholars and civil servants in the hall were all confused at this moment. Their heads were about to burst and they couldn’t figure out what this was. They were scratching their heads and ears anxiously.
But at this moment...
Xiao Yu on the side sighed secretly.
All said and done, these great scholars are still not very useful.
Judging from the expressions of these people, it seems that they want to become familiar with each other so that they can be a prominent figure in handling this matter in the future, but they are scratching their heads and dare not go forward, for fear that if they say something wrong, they will be self-defeating.
This made Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, thinking of the story of the Three Kingdoms...doing big things, seeing small profits...
Hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting against Dong, but the average per capita was marginal, and only one boss, Cao, was on board.
However, Xiao Yu was not a mortal after all, and he did not rush to be the leader.
Political games are always fierce, and his mistakes will not be in vain.
At this moment, he spoke, but the way was not to show off his cleverness to gain favor, as he was no longer needed in his position.
"...Well, Your Majesty, this booklet seems to have...nothing to do with the field of culture and education?"
Xiao Yu's words imply the perspective of a "pure passerby" or "ordinary observing learner" who is raising questions.
Asking questions from below is a virtue, and it is a matter of course. There is nothing wrong with this sentence, and... it also successfully broke the situation.
... If the atmosphere continues to be tense like this, wouldn't it be logical for Li Er to entrust this cultural and educational undertaking to his own people? That would be fine.
Sure enough, the spring breeze-like smile on Li Er's face faded a little.
Of course, when Li Er asked the question this time, he had a certain mentality of playing cat and mouse. He basically knew in his heart the composition of everyone in the court. However, although Xiao Yu's words did not have the effect of "direct refutation", they did
It was like a stoppage in the competition, which directly gave me no chance to beat anyone.
Li Er was a little annoyed in his heart, but...
This time he did not come specifically to punish the minister, he indeed had to do something.
So he went on to the main topic, "Okay then. You don't have to worry about this booklet for now. Let's talk about how to promote this great cause of culture and education."
"What should we do if the Tang Dynasty wants to enlighten its people with civilization? You must have some plans in mind?"
…
Li Er asked this.
Wei Zheng and others on the side suddenly frowned again, secretly cursing Xiao Yu for being so cunning.
Now Your Majesty has wasted an opportunity to beat the family officials.
However, it feels more strange.
If Your Majesty is really interested in promoting culture and education, then the deep meaning is probably the same as the imperial examination, which is to liberate the minds of the people, select intellectuals from among the people, to compete with the people of the aristocratic families, and to establish a society where the grassroots people can also move upward.
Mechanism to enhance the people's gaming ability and counteract hereditary inheritance and mergers.
To achieve this, this cultural and educational undertaking must not be a trivial matter, and the leadership must not be left in the hands of this group of people.
But Li Er actually seemed to really want to ask these people for their opinions.
This...isn't this meat bun beating a dog?
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, these are all good people, and the next scene almost immediately came to mind, which must be a link in the selection of talented people who can maintain trust and cultivate harmony.
As for who will recommend and select those who are talented, and who will set the standards, it is a no-brainer. This is a natural benefit to the aristocratic family.
How could Your Majesty...
Then, as expected, the ministers below were all paying their respects.
"Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, and I am willing to recommend Wang He of Taiyuan. This is a model for Confucian scholars in this world!..."
"Your Majesty, you are wise! Only great virtues and great Confucian scholars can carry out the career of literature and education. I am willing to recommend Cui Hong of Qinghe! Cui Gonghao is a poor scholar and has read many poems and books..."
"Wei Chen recommends Longxi Li..."
Every call was heard, and the voices of enthusiastic recommendations could be heard endlessly.
Wei Zheng and others frowned again and again, and Mader and the others really kicked their noses and got angry immediately.
Give me a pole and start climbing quickly!
But since Li Er asked this, what should we do next?
Do you just agree like that? If other people are selected, but their names are not as strong as those recommended by this group of people, the court meeting will definitely not pass, and then only this group of people will still be able to stir up trouble.
