Just when Li Chengqian was worried about the printing press.
The court hall also exploded.
Many people have seen the book sales craze these days.
Of course Li Shimin also knew. ??
For Li Chengqian to complete the task so successfully.
Li Shimin was extremely happy.
However, if he is happy, someone must be unhappy.
For example, those aristocratic families.
They have now gradually realized what Li Chengqian is going to do.
He sells books at such low prices, clearly trying to compete with himself for his job.
Those aristocratic families, no matter which one, would not allow this kind of thing to happen.
Don't allow the situation to escape your control.
…
Morning this morning.
Li Shimin, who was kneeling behind the table, waved his hand: "If there is something to do, we will start, and if there is nothing, we will retreat."
"My lord, I have something to report."
Wei Zheng stood up.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment: "Come here."
Wei Zheng raised his head and said: "My lord, Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, is a minister of the court, but he always does things to benefit the people."
"Your Majesty, Qin King Li Chengqian, as a prince, does not want to study government affairs. He idles around all day, and even does illegal things that disrupt the market."
Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian were both involved.
And it was still involved by Wei Zheng.
This kind of thing is so rare.
Li Shimin was stunned.
I haven't waited for him to react.
Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Yao Silian, Xue Shou and other civil servants all stepped forward.
Their words were almost identical to those of Wei Zheng.
They were all involved in the illegal activities of Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian.
And during the whole process, Changsun Wuji, who stood aside, didn't say a word.
He was the most intelligent man in the Tang Dynasty.
How could he not know what the situation is now?
Those who came forward were either from aristocratic families or had inextricable connections with aristocratic families.
He and Li Chengqian robbed the meal from the aristocratic family's bowl, how could the aristocratic family make it easy for them? Therefore, Changsun Wuji had already expected it.
And he thought of it, how could Li Shimin not think of it?
But he really didn't expect that there would be so many people standing on the other side of the aristocratic family in his court.
And they are all arrogant ministers like Wei Zheng.
The only thing that pleased Li Shimin was that the generals did not stand up.
If Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Li Jing and others also come forward, he will really be heartbroken.
Wei Zheng and others continued to kowtow.
"I hope your Majesty will depose Sun Wuji, the Duke of Zhao, and Li Chengqian, the King of Qin."
"Order the closure of paper mills and printing plants, seal the bookstores on the market, and recover the books that have been sold."
At that moment, Li Shimin's face turned red.
He almost said those words through gritted teeth.
"It is said that King Qin Li Chengqian paid an audience."
…
When Li Chengqian came to the court.
I saw a large number of civil servants in the court kneeling down.
Only Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others are still standing.
When he saw Changsun Wuji's bitter smile, Li Chengqian immediately understood what was going on.
This was clearly aimed at myself and my uncle.
Li Chengqian walked to the front of the hall, knelt down and kowtowed: "My son, I have met my father."
Li Shimin waved his hand indiscriminately: "Qian'er, these ministers in front of me have asked me to depose you and Lord Changsun."
"And they also asked me to seal down bookstores, paper mills, and printing plants. What do you think of this?"
Li Chengqian said directly: "Searching bookstores, paper mills, and printing plants is equivalent to digging one's own grave."
"Your Highness must be serious."
Wei Zheng faced Li Chengqian and said.
"That's right, Your Highness is only nine years old, what can you understand?"
Some ministers followed suit.
"Your Highness, you don't know that the books you are selling these days have disrupted the market.
It caused many bookstores to close down."
"Your Highness, do you know how many people have been left without food due to your actions?"
"hehe."
Li Chengqian laughed directly: "If you use such words to impeach me."
"Isn't it almost funny?"
Li Chengqian looked at the group of ministers and said, "If you ask me what I know, I can tell you that I know a lot."
"What about the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, and the Zheng family of Xingyang?"
"The Wang family of Taiyuan, the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chenjun, the Yuan family of Chenjun, and the Xiao family of Lanling."
"The Zhu family, Zhang family, Gu family, Lu family, Yixing Zhou family, and Wuxing Shen family of Wu County."
"The Pei family of Hedong, the Wei family of Jingzhao, the Liu family of Hedong, the Xue family of Hedong, the Yang family of Hongnong, and the Du family of Jingzhao."
"By the way, there is also the Changsun family of my uncle's family in Henan."
He immediately mentioned the surnames of all the aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty.
All the ministers in the hall looked at him with horrified eyes.
Is he crazy?
How dare you say this in the court?
Li Chengqian no longer cared about it at this time.
He smiled and glanced at everyone and asked: "Do I know enough?"
He rarely thinks of himself as the king.
Unless you are really angry.
These people in front of me are obviously ministers of the imperial court, serving the country and the people.
In fact, they are all filthy.
“What’s wrong with me letting everyone in the world study?”
"What happened to me making the world literate?"
Li Chengqian looked at the crowd and said, "Just because I have harmed the interests of your mother clan, you are going to join me?"
A minister faced Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is in a daze. You'd better let him go down quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if Your Highness is allowed to behave like this, all the aristocratic families will be offended, and we in the Tang Dynasty will have no one to use." Wei Zheng even knelt down and kowtowed: "If your Majesty is determined to protect these two people, please remove us."
A group of ministers responded one after another: "Your Majesty, please remove us!"
That moment.
Li Chengqian was extremely helpless.
It is not false at all to say that Li Tang's country was born in sorrow and died in happiness.
The enlightenment of the Tang Dynasty was born in the wrong period.
A period of prosperity for aristocratic families.
Of course, there is an imperial examination system that can select talents nationwide.
However, the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty can be called the most unfair imperial examination in all dynasties.
During the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination quotas were mainly in Chang'an, and it was difficult for non-Chang'an students to get a candidate ticket.
Secondly, there is an exam every year. Non-Chang'an candidates must pass the preliminary exam every year and then enter the Chang'an final exam.
If you fail the exam, you will have to return to your place of origin to prepare for the exam next year.
You know, in ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and most of the time was spent on the road. There was no time to study.
Candidates who fail the exam can only seek help from aristocratic families or seek refuge with senior officials.
This makes the family ranks vertical and horizontal, and the officials are connected.
Only thirty people can enter the court each year by relying on the imperial examination.
In this regard, Li Bai once said: "I don't want to be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in my life, but I hope to get to know Han Jingzhou."
Bai Juyi once said: "Living in Chang'an is not easy..."
Even when the Tang Dynasty fell, there were very few examples of civilians becoming prime ministers through imperial examinations.
And what is the final outcome of this?
Huang Chao said: "When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, I will kill all the flowers after they have bloomed. The incense array will penetrate Chang'an, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor."
Then he conquered Chang'an City in one fell swoop.
The Tang Dynasty also came to an end.
Looking at these people in front of him, Li Chengqian had already seen the end of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
When Li Shimin looked at these people, his eyes were full of anger.
The one who becomes the emperor is himself...
But he still has to be manipulated by these people like a clown...
