Chapter 1044: Only with rewards can you be motivated
Xue Li's performance really shocked many people.
Including those veteran generals who have already stood in the court and made great achievements.
But what shocked them didn't stop there.
Although some candidates after Xue Li were not as terrifying as Xue Li.
But it’s not too much to give in to.
Among them are people like Luo Jiashu and Xia Jinhui, who are just a hair away from achieving perfect scores.
In the next competition to compete for the top ten, the excitement is almost as exciting as the battle between famous generals in the military. .??.
Xue Li leads a kind of civilian candidates against a series of aristocratic candidates.
But in the end, all the aristocratic candidates who had gone through various trainings since childhood failed.
Except for Li Zhen, no one entered the past life.
Such a scene not only shocked the examiner, but also shocked the court.
How could they have imagined that there would be so many masters among the people?
Even Li Shimin never thought of this.
At the beginning, he only wanted to select one or two talents from among the people.
After all, this is their first time holding a martial arts competition, so it would be great to be able to select one or two.
Moreover, the reason why he chose to hold martial arts competitions must be to select talents.
But more importantly, he wanted to send a message to the people.
That is, in the future, in addition to civilian officials, military commanders and commanders in the Tang Dynasty will not only appoint nobles, but also select talents from the common people.
But when he saw the test results, he was also shocked.
He now finally understands why Li Chengqian has been asking for talents to be selected among the private sector.
"The world is so big."
"There are indeed many things that we have never seen before."
"And the path of pursuing dual studies in civil and military subjects is indeed full of light."
Li Shimin said directly to the civil and military officials: "If you pass on the decree, if anyone can win the top prize in any subject in this military examination, I will immediately confer him the rank of fourth-rank general. What do you think?"
The rank of fourth-grade general is indeed quite high.
r>
After hearing what he said, the civil and military ministers were a little shocked.
After all, to a certain extent, the position of military commander is achieved step by step with fists.
But now, Li Shimin actually made a newcomer, a fourth-grade general, who had never fought in a battle.
How can one not be shocked by this?
But no one dared to stand up first and refute anything.
In the end, it was Wei Zheng who stood up first.
He said: "Your Majesty's decision this time seems inappropriate to me."
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Li Shimin is such a face-conscious person, so of course he is dissatisfied with someone vetoing his opinion.
However, due to the presence of so many people, it was difficult for him to explode easily.
Therefore, he immediately took a deep breath, looked at Wei Zheng and asked: "Wei Qing's family, what do you think is wrong?"
"I think it's okay for Your Majesty to reward the top scholar in a new subject."
"But if he is directly appointed as a fourth-grade general, it would be a bit too much."
"After all, generals in the army have worked their way up from the grassroots level step by step."
"In other words, everyone has experienced bloody battles and fought with their lives to gain official positions."
"I won't talk about others, let's just talk about the people around His Highness the Crown Prince."
Wei Zhengzhi set his sights on Gao Zhixing and the others who were standing at the end of the military commander's train.
"Li Chongyi, Gao Zhixing, and Cheng Hualiang, all three of them have been fighting bloody battles with His Highness since childhood."
"There are countless scars on the body caused by swords, guns, swords and halberds."
"But now, General Gao, who has the highest official position here, is only a fourth-rank official."
Wei Zhengzhi raised his hands to Li Shimin and said: "But now, Your Majesty has actually appointed an unknown soldier to directly serve as a fourth-rank general. I am afraid that the lieutenants and generals in the army will be disappointed..."
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned.
Indeed, I seemed a little too excited.
However, I have already said what I said. Wouldn’t it be too embarrassing if I regretted it again?
Thinking about it, Li Shimin turned his eyes to Li Chengqian and said, "Qian'er, what do you think about this?"
"My son feels that my father's decision is a good one."
Li Chengqian obviously admired this very much.
"After all, only those who are brave will be rewarded with great rewards."
"Now that my father has decided to hold the title of fourth-grade general here, it will inevitably lead to more intense competition."
"And in this way, the standard of candidates who can enter the list will naturally be greatly improved."
Li Chengqian said straight to Li Shimin: "And what Mr. Wei said is indeed reasonable."
"After all, the promotion of generals in our army relies on fighting with both fists and blood."
"If it is so easy to let a stupid young man ride on your head, it will indeed make many people dissatisfied."
"but……"
"There are also military rules in the army."
"As the saying goes, those who are capable are superior and those who are mediocre are inferior."
Li Chengqian paused and said with a smile: "If you don't accept it, then get off the field and compete and let your fists do the talking."
Hearing this, Li Shimin also laughed.
He is indeed this little thief.
He raised his head and said: "Okay, okay, this is a good decision."
"On the day when the military examination is selected, the court will send a general to duel with him."
"We will compete in liberal arts and martial arts. If the general in the court has good grades, then the number one scholar in the new subject will go to that person."
"But in the end, if the overall result is the top scorer in the new subject, then I will reward him with the rank of fourth-rank general."
After speaking, Li Shimin looked around at the crowd and said, "In this case, do you have any other opinions?"
Without waiting for others to speak, Li Chengqian took the lead in raising his hands towards Li Shimin and said: "Father is wise..."
And after hearing his words, some of the young generals also imitated Li Shimin. He cupped his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."
Looking at their reactions, it can be seen that they did not carefully consider Li Shimin's decision.
However, they don't care whether this decision is really beneficial to Datang.
They just heard that Li Chengqian approved the decision, so they would all stand up.
And I saw them stand up.
A group of pure ministers who swayed from side to side would naturally stand up and agree.
As a result, the vast majority of people in the court recognized Li Shimin's proposal.
Seeing such a scene, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes full of pride.
This kid has finally grown up and has his own faction...
It's ridiculous to say that.
In other dynasties, the emperor would guard against the prince and prevent the prince from forming cliques for personal gain.
Because that would threaten the emperor's dominance.
But Li Shimin is better.
In his heart, he hoped that Li Chengqian would do something to form a party for personal gain.
After all, only in this way can he feel more relaxed when he takes over the banner in his hands.
But some people are happy and some are sad.
Li Tai on the side also clenched his fists tightly when he saw such a scene.
His status seems to be thicker and more stable, making it harder for me to shake him...
And his changes naturally did not escape Li Chengqian's eyes.
Likewise, his full anger cannot escape the capture of the system.
Li Chengqian turned around, smiled at him, and said softly: "Why, my dear brother, are you envious of me?"
By saying this, it was clear that he was angry with Li Tai.
And one sentence directly broke Li Tai's guard.
He gritted his teeth and said to Li Chengqian: "I hope you can continue to be proud."
"OK."
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Then the emperor brother will lend you some good words..."
