Chapter 183: Openly repairing the plank road and crossing Chencang secretly

Li Xiuning took a towel made of cotton, gently wiped Chen Ying's body, and slowly put on clothes for Chen Ying. Chen Ying changed into a pajama made of cotton.

Li Xiuning touched the soft cotton and said: "The cotton woven into threads and the fabric is very effective, smooth and smooth, strong and flexible, not easy to get dirty, breathable and sweat-absorbent. It is very cool to wear in summer, and warm to wear in winter."

Chen Ying said: "This fabric is of course good. I hope that all military uniforms will be made of silk in the future. It's a pity. The temporary cotton production is mainly bedding."

At this moment, Li Xiuning took out a secret letter and handed it to Chen Ying and said, "Chen Lang, look at this."

Chen Ying glanced at it, took it but did not open the secret letter. He sighed and said, "Sanniang, are you still worried about Chang'an?"

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "The palm of your hand is meat, the back of your hand is meat..."

Chen Ying sighed, pointed to the ceiling and said, "The conflict between the prince and the King of Qin is not rooted in them, but in the upper part, and there is no way to reconcile it!"

Li Xiuning smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that the confrontation between Erlang and his elder brother is becoming more and more serious. Now the elder brother has asked Du Yan to impeach the land of the people, beat and hurt people's lives, and wrote a letter to his father and the emperor, and he has sent a letter to Du Yan to the dynasty (now Xichang, Sichuan). Erlang also launched a counterattack to deal with the Eastern Palace Consultant Army, and the Crown Prince Zhongyun Wang Gui... Now the most urgent task is how to explain to his elder brother and Erlang..."

"Explanation?" Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "How to explain? As the chaos arose, how can we calm down?"

"This..." Li Xiuning was speechless for a moment.

Chen Ying sighed and said, "I'm afraid, this matter will not be that simple!"

In terms of politics, although Chen Ying is a novice, after all, even Shi Tou should be enlightened after so many years in the officialdom. What's more, Chen Ying is not stupid.

Chen Ying looked through the secret reports of recent times and slowly found the crux of the problem. Li Jiancheng wrote to Li Yuan and wrote a letter to Li Yuan. In the memorial, Li Jiancheng wrote: "Those who conquer themselves are strong. The way to self-improvement is to accumulate talents. The first thing to do is to promote learning. The basis for cultivating talents is to cultivate talents. The way to seek talents is to establish four schools first. Cultivating people is like trees. If a school is one year later, talent is one year later..."

Seeing this, Chen Ying roughly guessed Li Jiancheng's intention.

The prerequisite for establishing education, especially official schools, is to prepare for the promotion of the imperial examination system. However, once the imperial examination system is implemented and the imperial examination system is opened to select scholars, the aristocratic politics since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties will end.

Of course, the imperial examination system was not the first to be created by Li Jiancheng. To be precise, it should be created by Yang Jian and Yang Guang carried forward it. However, the aristocratic clans saw Yang Sui's determination to eradicate the aristocratic clans, so these aristocratic clans began to make trouble for their own interests.

Under the counterattack of the entire aristocratic class, Yang Guang failed. As the saying goes, the king succeeded and the enemy defeated. Yang Guang was not only dead, but also nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

But at present, Li Jiancheng is doing it very cleverly.

He first released a huge smoke screen, intensifying the dispute between the prince and the Qin King, and thus attracted the attention of the whole world through the dispute between the East Palace, and planned to build four schools in a silent way. He established four disciplines of public priests, law, medicine and martial arts with prefectures and counties, and began to cultivate poor talents. In this way, after several years, the bachelors of the four schools grew up, and at this time, they would break up with the aristocratic families and Li Jiancheng could win and be unbeaten.

After all, the imperial examination system benefits the interests of scholars all over the world, especially those of poor people. For their own interests, these poor people will definitely stand firmly on Li Jiancheng's side.

Seeing this, Chen Ying took the memorial and looked at Li Xiuning and said, "Do you know who is giving advice behind the scenes of the prince?"

Chen Ying had nearly a thousand years of knowledge, so he naturally knew that the existence of aristocratic clans was already a cancer of the country. However, this cancer had formed a state of justice. Yang Guang wanted to change this miserable circle, so he expanded the policy of selecting scholars in the imperial examinations and only twelve people, but instead carried out the imperial examination system on a large scale.

Li Jiancheng was born into a family of aristocratic families. Standing at Li Jiancheng's position, he would definitely not act rashly to reverse the family. Looking at Li Jiancheng's previous actions in Chang'an or guarding the border, Li Jiancheng probably had such profound insights into the imperial examination system, and there should be another expert behind the scenes to guide him.

Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "Maybe it was Wei Zheng, Wei Xuancheng..."

"Wei Zheng." Chen Ying smacked his lips gently. Even those who do not understand the history of the early Tang Dynasty should have heard the story of Li Shimin and Wei Zheng. If it were Wei Zheng who gave Li Jiancheng this plan, Chen Ying would not feel strange. In history, he could advise Li Jiancheng, and he would be at peace with the world and kill the King of Qin first. It can be imagined that Wei Zheng was also a person who did not use any means to achieve his goal.

Wei Zheng not only concealed this plan, but also almost concealed it from Chen Ying.

If Chen Ying had not stood on the shoulders of the historical giant, he would have been deceived by Wei Zheng's plan to build a plan to secretly cross Chen Cang.

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying complainingly and said, "When is it now? You are still laughing at me!"

"It's not that we're all cheated!" Chen Ying said this, and suddenly had an idea. With Fang Du's ability, he might easily see through Wei Zheng's intentions. After all, Fang Mou Du Duan was not a false reputation. However, the position of the two in Li Shimin's heart was finally inferior to Changsun Wuji.

If Li Shimin is seen through the conspiracy by Fang Xuanling or Du Ruhui, he will persuade Li Shimin not to fall into the trap, but he is afraid that Wei Zheng's plan will be difficult to implement.

However, Changsun Wuji is different. He suffered too much loss in the Western Regions and was very angry with Chen Ying.

If freedom is obtained, Changsun Wuji will definitely persuade Li Shimin to increase the attack, thereby escalating the dispute between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng again.

At this time, the more intense the dispute between Li Erlang and Li Dalang, the greater the benefits for the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty shifted from aristocratic politics to an imperial examination and officials, it would be possible to alleviate the greater internal friction of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and said, "Sanniang, would you say that Changsun Wuji is in the Western Regions be too cruel to the Princess of Qin?"

Li Xiuning said: "Chen Lang, what are you thinking?"

Chen Ying said: "I want to let Changsun Wuji go back!"

Li Xiuning's face suddenly changed when she heard this: "How is this possible?"

The conflict between Changsun Wuji and Chen Ying is no longer reconciled. In this case, once Changsun Wuji escapes from the trap, he will definitely take revenge on Chen Ying!
