When Li Shimin was chatting with Changsun Wuji about this matter.
Xue Li and Li Chengqian on the other side were also chatting.
And they not only chatted, but also conducted sand table deductions.
After countless exercises, the result is still that they are correct.
Li Chengqian said unconvinced: "I don't understand why they have to go against me."
"That's normal."
"Because they are generals, not masters."
Xue Li said directly to Li Chengqian: "Have you never thought about where the generals can go if there is no more war in the world?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was also stunned.
He looked directly at Xue Li and said, "You mean, I think too much?"
"If the three generals insist, it proves that you are indeed overthinking."
Xue Li sighed and said: "I think the last two questions are not about the literal meaning at all, but the psychological aspect of the test."
"Whether it is Nanchen or the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty."
"The best outcome for generals is to divide the river to rule, or to establish a three-kingdom alliance..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was relieved.
He finally understood the meaning of this question.
They obviously knew that Xue Li gave the correct answer, but they still asked for a wrong answer.
It's nothing more than giving Xue Li a chance, or hinting to Xue Li not to show too much edge.
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed, and said: "But it's okay, these three people have taught you a lesson before you even entered the court."
"Then I would like to thank you for your kindness."
Xue Li smiled and said nothing next.
It was as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
But Li Chengqian saw a little loneliness and disappointment in his eyes.
And this is obviously his disappointment with the current court.
Before entering the court, he was jointly warned by the generals in the court.
Although this explains his Ability has already made some veterans feel the crisis.
But it also shows that this court is not as clean as it seems.
Li Chengqian raised his hand and patted Xue Li on the shoulder, saying: "Don't panic or be afraid. As long as I'm here, they can't do anything to you."
"You just need to do your best, and you will definitely get everything you deserve in the future, I promise."
Hearing this, Xue Li looked up at Li Chengqian and smiled in relief.
That's right, with Li Chengqian here, what else do you have to fear?
Just be yourself.
Xue Lizhi cupped his hands towards Li Chengqian and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness..."
"What a fool."
"Isn't this also because you have this ability?"
"If you don't have any skills, I won't bother to talk to you."
Li Chengqian waved his hand casually and said: "But since you have this ability, you should do something for the people and the world."
"After all, in one's lifetime, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility..."
After saying that, Li Chengqian stood up and said: "Let's go, today is also your big day, I will treat you to dinner."
…
When Xue Li's deeds spread, it really caused quite a shock in the court.
As Li Chengqian said, his talent has caused a sense of crisis for some people.
After all, if a person from the common people is so powerful, how will they survive in the future?
If in the future, every martial arts or imperial examination can recruit a few such people, wouldn't there be no living space for the elderly at all?
What's more, although the Tang Dynasty is now out of the control of the family.
But he has not completely escaped the haze and influence of the aristocratic family.
On the day when Xue Li's results came out, many veterans went directly to Ganlu
Go to the palace to meet Li Shimin.
Their purpose, without exception, was to ask Li Shimin to expel Xue Li.
And Li Shimin was also amused by the behavior of these people.
Are you raising them yourself just to let them fight against each other and make things difficult for others?
Or is it that you raise them because you want them to hinder the progress of Datang?
Now Xue Li has allowed Li Shimin to see the future of the Tang Dynasty.
There is no need to have many people like Xue Li, only two or three in an era are enough to keep the Tang Dynasty intact.
If there are a few more characters like Changsun Wuji, the Tang Dynasty will be able to survive for a long time.
Li Shimin is not a fool either.
How could he agree to these people's demands?
Just when Li Shimin was so angry that he was about to curse, Li Chengqian walked in from the outside.
Seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face, Li Chengqian chuckled.
"how?"
"Father, are you unhappy?"
Li Chengqian approached Li Shimin and said, "Let me guess..."
"It should be that the noble family has sent people to put pressure on my father again, right?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin rolled his eyes.
He threw the memorial in his hand to Li Chengqian and said, "Read it yourself."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian did not hesitate and opened the memorial directly.
Inside, Li Shimin was asked to expel Xue Li from Chang'an City and never hire this person again.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian raised his head, looked at Li Shimin and said, "What do you think, father?"
"What do you think?"
"If Xue Li is really kicked out, what prestige will the imperial court have in the future?"
"And how can we attract more talents to join the court, serve the country, and benefit the people?"
Li Shimin slammed the table and said, "I really can't believe that at this point, there are still people who are so ignorant."
< br> "Isn't this normal?"
"You know, at the beginning, everyone was prepared to see the court's jokes."
"In their view, only talents in the literary world can break the monopoly of the imperial court, but it is absolutely impossible for talents in the martial arts field."
"After all, practicing martial arts requires much more money and effort than studying literature."
"A poor family doesn't have the conditions to support a warrior, or someone who is versatile in both civil and military affairs..."
"But who would have thought that when we held the martial arts competition for the first time, we would be able to produce such an all-around civil and military talent as Xue Li?"
Li Chengqian casually threw the memorial aside and said, "So, father, you must withstand the pressure this time."
"At the very least, let this group of petitioners know your determination..."
Having said this, Li Chengqian suddenly paused.
He approached Li Shimin and said, "If my father doesn't want to do this, I am willing to do it for you."
This time he also risked his life.
Isn’t that just taking the blame?
It’s not that I haven’t memorized it, the worst I can do is get scolded for a while.
Compared with him being scolded, it is obviously more beneficial than the talents of the Tang Dynasty being completely eliminated and allowing these aristocratic schools to regain their dominance.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and took a deep look at Li Chengqian.
Then, he shook his head and said, "You have done enough for me."
"Besides, it's not good for your reputation to always ask you to do these things."
"So, let me do it this time..."
Li Shimin raised his head slightly and said, "After all, they don't dare to say anything to me."
"But my father."
"If you do that, it will leave a stain on your resume."
Li Chengqian said: "Is that really worth it?"
“Whether it’s worth it or not is up to me.”
Li Shimin stood up and said: "So, you don't need to say more about this matter, I have already decided..."
