Thinking of this, Lin Xuan felt a little pleased. When Ci develops in the future, he might also be called a great master.
You said the lyrics were copied?
Who knows?
When he was studying, Lin Xuan hated poetry the most, because when he learned poetry, he needed to memorize it.
And he felt that this thing was of no use at all.
Now he finally feels the usefulness of learning poetry in the first place. It turns out that this thing he learned was not for use in that era, but for those who traveled through time.
Li Chengqian originally wanted to praise Lin Xuan a few words to pave the way for the next purpose. Who knew that after he finished speaking, Lin Xuan would be in a daze and laugh for a while, which confused him.
"Zichu, Zichu."
"Ah." Lin Xuan came back to his senses and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted. What did your Highness say just now?"
"Gu feels that it is not a good thing for the court to have too many officials from aristocratic families. If Boyuan Academy cultivates any talents, you can recommend them to Gu, and Gu will recommend them to join the court as officials." Li Chengqian said.
Lin Xuan was stunned and quickly understood what Li Chengqian meant.
If a person is recommended by Li Chengqian, he will naturally be labeled as Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian wants to train his own team.
"Has His Majesty the Crown Prince forgotten that His Majesty has decreed that all future officials must pass the imperial examination?" Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin had beaten him before, how dare he recommend talents to Li Chengqian.
And for Li Chengqian's benefit, he couldn't recommend talents to Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin was very contradictory in his treatment of Li Chengqian.
On the one hand, I want to train him into a qualified king so that the Tang Dynasty can be passed down well.
On the other hand, because of his own experience, he deliberately restricted Li Chengqian's rights.
To put it bluntly, he was guarding against Li Chengqian.
In ancient times, it was not uncommon for fathers and sons to turn against each other and brothers to kill each other for the sake of the throne. This happened to Li Shimin.
Not every emperor can be like Zhu Yuanzhang, who gave power to the prince when he was healthy.
Lin Xuan didn't understand this behavior at first. If the prince had been given power earlier, he would have been able to control the situation more quickly after he succeeded to the throne.
There will be no situation where many emperors are ignored by powerful ministers when they first succeed to the throne.
This also has the advantage of being able to truly see whether the prince can become a qualified emperor.
This can also avoid the appearance of faint kings.
Later Lin Xuan figured it out. Of course he had some ideals.
Apart from anything else, the human heart alone is a huge problem.
Apart from anything else, when the prince has too much power, can he really be a prince with peace of mind?
Not every emperor is like Zhu Yuanzhang, but at the same time, not every prince is like Zhu Biao.
From Lin Xuan's point of view, since Li Shimin deliberately prevented Li Chengqian from taking power, Li Chengqian only needed to be his prince with peace of mind. Cultivating natural forces would instead arouse Li Shimin's resentment.
Li Chengqian did not hear the rejection in Lin Xuan's tone and said with a smile: "How many talents can be selected for each imperial examination? The Tang Dynasty needs a lot of officials every year, and the talents from the imperial examination are only a drop in the bucket."
Lin Xuan did not refute this point. The Song Dynasty vigorously popularized education, which led to the later official ranks. However, this would not happen in the Tang Dynasty, at least not in a short period of time.
To achieve the goal of not being able to enter officialdom without taking the imperial examination, it would take at least tens or hundreds of years of hard work.
"Your Highness is talking about now, but the students of Boyuan Academy have just started studying. It will take at least seven or eight years to enter the officialdom. By then, the imperial examination system will definitely have been perfected." Lin Xuan said.
Li Chengqian couldn't tell that Lin Xuan was rejecting him at this time. His face was a bit ugly, but it was hard to get angry.
Lin Xuan knew that Li Chengqian was unhappy, but he couldn't explain it.
Before, he had always thought that Li Chengqian was a bit stupid. Why not just be your prince honestly? When Li Shimin dies, he can naturally take over the throne.
Why seek death?
However, if you think about it, did Li Chengqian make a mistake?
His brothers must all be thinking about the throne. He wants to cultivate his own power, which is just to consolidate his position.
To put it bluntly, Li Chengqian has no sense of security. With the ready-made examples of Yang Yong and Li Jiancheng, it is inevitable for Li Chengqian to worry.
In addition, Li Shimin doesn't give him any rights, so it's strange that Li Chengqian can feel safe.
Understanding is understanding, but Lin Xuan is very clear that these ideas of Li Chengqian will not help him, but will make Li Shimin even more disappointed with him.
So he could only refuse.
To be honest, Lin Xuan is very conflicted sometimes.
Although Li Zhi was a bit shady, as an emperor, he still did a very good job during his reign, and he can be called a wise emperor of the previous generation.
Li Chengqian's being the emperor does not necessarily mean he can do better than Li Zhi.
He also didn't know whether Li Chengqian's succession to the throne was a good thing or a bad thing.
Li Zhi almost destroyed the Tang Dynasty, and if Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne, the direction of the Tang Dynasty would become unknown.
So many times, Lin Xuan was a little confused.
…
On the other side, when Li Lizhi led Li Zhi to the bamboo forest, Lin Wanxi was having fun with the two giant pandas.
Of course, this was what Lin Wanxi thought. In fact, the two giant pandas were gnawing at the bamboo and ignored her at all.
Li Zhi also liked the giant pandas very much when he saw them, but he was a little afraid of these two fat things that looked bigger than him.
Seeing the timidity in Li Zhi's eyes, Li Lizhi gave up the idea of taking him there and said, "Pheasant slave, don't you want to play with Dabao and Xiaobao? Go there by yourself."
She wanted to exercise Li Zhi's courage.
Li Zhi was a little moved, but he was also very scared and stood still without moving.
"Wanxi, a girl, dares to go there, but you, a boy and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, don't dare to go there. Don't you feel embarrassed?" Li Lizhi said.
Li Zhi's face turned red. Although he was young, he naturally felt embarrassed when being compared with a girl.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhi walked toward the bamboo forest with his short legs.
Li Zhi walked very slowly, and Li Lizhi didn't rush him, just watched from behind.
When Lin Wanxi saw Li Zhi coming over, she didn't say anything, lowered her head and continued to caress Dabao.
However, Li Zhi seemed to see disdain in Lin Wanxi's eyes. In anger, he completely forgot his fear and quickly came to the giant panda.
After walking in, he saw the snow-white teeth of the giant panda biting the bamboo. All the courage Li Zhi had just mustered up disappeared.
He now had the urge to turn around and run away.
When Lin Wanxi saw Li Zhi standing still, she hesitated and said, "His Royal Highness, Dabao and Xiaobao are very strange and will not hurt you."
Li Zhi hesitated after hearing this, then stretched out his little hand to touch Xiaobao's head.
But his two eyes were closely watching Xiaobao's movements, for fear that he would open his mouth and bite him.
Fortunately, what he was worried about didn't happen. Until he touched Xiaobao, Xiaobao didn't react at all, and he dealt with the bamboo in his arms with peace of mind.
For giant pandas, the sky is huge and the food is the biggest. You can touch it if you want, as long as you don't steal my bamboo.
