Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 157 The Sound of the Hammer!

Yi Yin's voice.

echoed throughout the hall.

echoes in the air.

Resounds in everyone's heart.

All the ministers felt that the roar from Yi Yin's mouth had a powerful deterrent effect!
"It must be changed!"

This sound also shocked Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and asked, "Yi Aiqing, this must change. What has changed?"

Yi Yin said without hesitation: "The whole system will change!"

Everyone was shocked!
The whole system is going to change, so what is it?
Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and said, "Is the whole system going to change?"

Yi Yin nodded, but at the same time, he heard Li Shimin's question: "Is the current system not good?"

Yi Yin didn't think about it. He had already considered these issues.

"The current system has serious drawbacks!"

This sentence shocked all the ministers again.

Even great scholars like Yu Zhining, Yu Shinan, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Du Lun never mentioned the drawbacks of the current examination system.

But Yi Yin was the first to speak out.

Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that many ministers sitting here are also aware of this problem. There are two reasons why they don't say anything."

"what reason?"

"Firstly, their children are all beneficiaries of this system; secondly, they dare not speak up, nor are they willing to speak up."

Yi Yin looked at the crowd and said, "Since it is beneficial to them, what are you talking about?"

Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin and continued: "Your Majesty, there is no absolute fairness in this world, but in the name of the Emperor, at least most of the fairness must be realized. In this way, people will remember your kindness more, Your Majesty. , or ordinary people, will say that we live in a beautiful era, and we have an enlightened emperor."

All the ministers looked at Yi Yin in surprise.

They didn't think so.

Yi Yin's suggestion turned out to be like this.

None of them dared to imagine what kind of waves this proposal would cause in Datang.

If the emperor agrees to this proposal, the situation will be completely different in the future.

Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin, and continued: "Under the old system, everyone, no matter how big or small, can get an official position as long as they memorize the routine. Except for those few truly outstanding people, In fact, everyone also understands that most of the articles written by most people are similar.”

Yi Yin said unceremoniously: "Including those students who failed, in fact, their articles, after careful reading, are almost the same as those who left the list."

"Is the old system really that bad?"

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin and asked.

Yi Yin nodded and said, "Compared to the new system that I want to propose, the old system is indeed not good."

No one expected that Yi Yin would answer the emperor's words so unceremoniously.

This surprised every minister!
Li Shimin then asked: "Then, tell me first, what is the new system you want to implement? What is the difference between it and the old system?"

Yi Yin said: "The biggest drawback of the old system is that it has not been integrated with the actual situation. Some people, after becoming officials, do not know how to do things. The new system will be integrated with the actual situation from the beginning of the examination, so that officials of the Tang Dynasty, not only He knows how to be an official, and he also knows how to do things."

Yi Yin looked at Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, in general, you will only know his benefits if you implement it."

Li Shimin hesitated.

After all, this has been the system for thousands of years.

It has always been like this.

Even if there is a change, it is a small change.

It is also continuing the previous system with a small adjustment.

The subject matter has not changed.

But now, the change Yi Yin mentioned is to completely overthrow everything before.

Re-establish a new system.

In this way, will it affect a series of problems in Datang?

Li Shimin had to think about it.

However, everything Yi Yin said was true.

Perhaps, going through a radical change might not be a bad thing.

But such a big thing.

Even if Li Shimin is the emperor.

He can't just drop the hammer to finalize it!

Looking at Li Shimin's hesitation.

Changsun Wuji immediately seized the opportunity.

"Your Majesty, please think twice about such a big matter!"

Fang Xuanling also said: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether what Yi Yin said is right or wrong, but such a big matter, you can't do it rashly, you must go through thorough consideration."

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, I also think that you should act prudently and think twice before acting!"

Kong Yingda said: "Your Majesty, Miracle Doctor Yi's suggestion is undoubtedly a good one. What's more, what Miracle Doctor did in my Tang Dynasty is beneficial but not harmful. I believe that Miracle Doctor Yi made this suggestion after careful consideration. But , It is not that simple to overthrow the system that has been used in the past dynasties and create a new one, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Such a big deal.

Every minister dared not advocate immediate implementation.

Ministers like Kong Yingda, Wei Zheng, and Du Lun, even though they knew that Yi Yin's analysis made sense, did not dare to ask the emperor to implement it immediately.

This kind of thing must be thought through carefully.

Once unsuccessful, the impact will be very deep.

Moreover, ministers like Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Du Lun are actually protecting Yi Yin.

They all knew that if such drastic changes were unsuccessful, Yi Yin would be punished sometimes very severely.

According to Yi Yin's contribution to Datang, he would not be beheaded, but even punishment would have a far-reaching impact on people like Yi Yin.

It may be a good choice to slowly integrate the new system into this society after careful consideration, or a gradual process.

These ministers could understand what Yi Yin was talking about.

I also know the current situation of Datang.

It's just that they don't want anything to happen to Yi Yin.

Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed!
Therefore, it is also advocated to think twice!

Lu Guogong looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I want to say a few words."

Li Shimin said: "Duke Lu, please tell me."

Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, although I don't study much, I can be regarded as a martial artist, but I think Yi Yin's words are right. Although Yi Yin also pointed out just now that my old Cheng's family got the official position through that kind of relationship, but I think what he said is indeed true. However, this kind of change cannot be achieved overnight, and it still needs to be fully prepared before it can be implemented."

After Lu Guogong spoke, several generals expressed their opinions.

Including Hou Junji, Chai Shao, Yuchi Jingde and others, they also said that they should not be rushed!
Li Shimin listened to the words of the ministers, and also concentrated in meditation.

After a while, he looked at Yi Yin and said, "Yi Aiqing, what you said is indeed very correct. I also think that if this change can be successful, it will be a qualitative leap for me, Datang. But , just as the loves said, you need to think twice before doing everything, and you can't act too hastily?"

He looked at Yi Yin, and said slowly: "So, let me think about this matter!"
