Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 671 The Competition Begins

The current affairs report has been completed. Li Shen sighed with emotion and didn't care at all. He was just a prince and he didn't want to change the world.

Of course, he has no ability to change the world.

"Your Majesty, here is a letter from Chang'an. I need you to read it in person, Your Majesty." After Wang Xuance finished speaking, he took out a letter and handed it to Li Shen.

Li Shen was a little confused. Why did he have to check the information himself?

But Li Shen soon knew why. The envelope was in good condition, and the seal was painted with a royal pattern.

Li Shen recognized it and knew it was a letter written by his father Li Shimin. Li Shen quickly tore open the envelope and took out the letter to read it carefully.

It was full of admonitions, telling him not to go too far and to reward troops as a taboo. Even if he wanted to play, he couldn't play like this.

Let him examine himself three times, think about his faults, stay calm, and concentrate on building the city and not do other things.

However, Li Shen knew by looking at the handwriting that it was not written by Li Shimin himself, but by Wang De's handwriting.

Although the content of the letter was a warning, it was not too severe. If Li Shimin had written the letter in person, the content of the letter would have started with a scolding.

Then he warned him that if he was dishonest, he would be beaten to death or punished. How could he be so gentle?

After Li Shen read it, he smiled and threw it out with a wave of his hand.

"Haha, I have prepared everything. How could I stop playing?"

Wang Xuance stepped forward and picked up the letter, took a look at it, and then said to Li Shen:

"Your Majesty, what is said in the letter is not unreasonable. Rewarding troops is a taboo. If you are criticized, it will be very troublesome afterwards. I think it is better to forget it."

"How can it be possible to forget it? The soldiers have been training hard for so long and just say forget it? Is this king just talking nonsense?

Xuance, you are also a talented person, why are you so inflexible in doing things?

We do not give rewards in the name of our king, but say that this is His Majesty's grace. Thinking of the soldiers' hard work in this bitter and cold place,

His Majesty had trouble sleeping and eating, so he came up with this method to reward outstanding performers, and it was also His Majesty's reason for restoring three meals a day. "

Li Shen began to explain to Wang Xuance. For Li Shen, wouldn't it be easy for Li Shen to make up lies?

"But His Majesty asked the Prince not to act nonsense, but the Prince still insists on having his own way, and His Majesty will be unhappy.

When the time comes, your majesty will punish the prince, what will you do? "Wang Xuance warned.

"Hey~~~" Li Shen stretched.

"Don't worry, sometimes the child who is disobedient is the good child, and the child who cries is the one who gets milk."

The summer in the Chiling plateau area is not that hot, and this season is also the season with beautiful scenery.

The military camp of the Qinghai Protectorate has changed its appearance, it is neat and clean, and no one is urinating or defecating.

There are also signs erected everywhere with various slogans on them.

Follow the command in all actions, protect the Tang Dynasty, protect the people, etc.

When soldiers go out, they also go in groups of three and two, and everything is in order.

Today is the beginning of the first military competition of the Qinghai Province Protectorate organized by Li Shen.

Except for the soldiers who needed to be on duty, everyone came to the foot of a nearby hillside. Li Shen stood on the hillside, holding a large loudspeaker and giving a speech.

The same routine and the same running account are nothing more than encouragement first, then praise, and finally promoting the spirit.

Li Shen is already familiar with these. Finally, after his start, the whole army cheered loudly and the curtain began.

Because of the different types of troops and the large number of people, Li Shen requested that only two events be competed in public every day.

For example, sword and shield soldiers compete with wooden swords and shields prepared in advance.

Li Shen doesn't have to worry about these at all, the generals below can arrange them.

Li Shen had people tidy up the hillside and used it as a viewing platform, with the competition arena below.

Two projects in one day, completed in more than ten days.

Li Shen comes to watch it in person every day, just like watching the Olympics.

"Okay, this knife is indeed amazing."

"Oh, which team is this from? They sent out such a stupid player. Even I am better than him."

"Well, this horse has good riding skills."

Every day, Li Shen would bring his food and sit in the stands, eating and commenting on the people below. He had the demeanor of a professional coach.

And every time a project is completed, Li Shen also holds an award ceremony.

Not only did we make medals, but we also distributed rewards on the spot.

Li Shen's reward is not copper coins, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take away the 100 pounds and 600 pounds for first place.

He was given one tael of gold bars. According to the ranking, the tenth place was given one gold bar and the first place was given ten gold bars.

All wrapped in red silk, it looks so high-end.

All operations are exactly the same as in international competitions.

Even the etiquette lady Li Shen went to the construction site to borrow ten widows.

The winners all smiled when they saw the gold. Gold has always been a hard currency.

Although there is a price on the market, not many people are redeeming it, and many people are willing to buy it at a higher price.

"Your Majesty, I have come from the capital to report that Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, has returned to Chang'an with his people."

Li Shen sat in the stands and watched the competition below, while Wang Xuance sat aside and said.

"Oh, come back as soon as you come back. This time can be considered a big purge. In the past, local officials like them thought that it was enough not to take corruption or bribery.

Now those who do nothing will still be taken down. "Li Shen looked down and said without looking back.

This matter had nothing to do with him, and the Wei family had already solved it when they first came to plead for mercy.

Moreover, no news came from Chang'an that there was something wrong with the Wei family.

"Your Majesty is right. A wide range of people were indeed involved this time. His Majesty personally supervised the incident and killed seven people, exiled hundreds of people, and dismissed more people, as many as a thousand." Wang Xuance also agreed with Li Shen's statement.

"So many?" Li Shen finally reacted and turned his head.

Although he didn't care, it surprised him. Thousands of people were dismissed from office. The court's force this time was quite strong.

"My lord, do you think your majesty did this to arrange for a poor family to become a scholar? There are many officials from aristocratic families here.

In recent years, because of your reforms, my lord, there have been a lot of common people and talented people from poor families who come up to be scholars every year. However, because there are no vacancies,

So some of them were admitted to the Hongwen Hall, and some were assigned to the Chongren Hall of the East Palace. "

It's no wonder Wang Xuance thinks so. It is true that there are more scholars from poor families nowadays, but one thing is that the Tang Dynasty still has a recommendation system.

Many official positions were occupied by the elected children of aristocratic families before talented people could wait for them. This was called Menyin becoming a scholar.

In fact, Li Shimin also wanted to abolish this system, but there was great resistance.

Li Shen thought for a moment and said:

"Your analysis is correct, but you can only blame them. If you are incompetent, don't occupy that position.

Even so, the aristocratic family can only endure it because they are indeed in the wrong.

He will not be dismissed without reason.

Sun Fujia comes from a poor family and will definitely enforce the law impartially. Otherwise, do you think I, Aye, would send him to patrol the country?

Nowadays, officials use the six-point edict as a template. How many are qualified? "
