Li Hao always secretly let go of his hand when Li Zhi was not paying attention, Li Zhi's performance is getting better and better, and his ability to maintain balance is getting stronger and stronger, about another hour later, Li Zhi can already ride alone for more than 100 meters, and even if the car is about to fall, he can use his feet to support the ground in advance to prevent falling.

According to his state, he basically practiced for another hour or two to master the skills, and he would be considered to have learned.

Li Zhi still wanted to continue, but Li Shimin smiled and said: "Zhi'er, don't practice anymore, continue another day." ”

Li Hao also smiled and said: "Your Highness, you have basically learned it now, and you will be able to ride as smoothly as the minister after a day or two of going back to consolidation." ”

"Good!" Li Zhi said happily, "When will you go back to Chang'an, poet, and ride a bicycle to visit your house another day." ”

Li Hao said: "It is estimated that the minister will have to delay in Lantian for a day, and he will not go back until the day after tomorrow." ”

"Okay, then I'll look for you the day after tomorrow." While speaking, the two had already come to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi with a smile and said, "Zhi'er has a good talent, and he has learned to ride a bicycle in less than an hour." ”

Li Zhi was praised by Li Shimin, and said happily: "My father praised it falsely, it was the poet maniac who taught it well, and the poet maniac said that learning to drive is to be bold and careful, in fact, it is not difficult to ride a bicycle at all, and it is not like what Lord Chu said. ”

Chu Suiliang's face turned red when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down.

Li Hao walked up to Chu Suiliang with a smile, raised his head, and coughed vigorously, Chu Suiliang was helpless, and waved his hand at Li Hao, saying, "Meet Mr." ”

"Hmm-" Li Hao responded with a long voice, that expression was so suffocating that Chu Suiliang secretly gritted his teeth, if he hadn't been able to beat Li Hao, if it weren't for Li Shimin's presence, he would have probably fought with Li Hao.

Li Shimin looked at Li Hao with a smile and said, "Poetry madness, according to the gambling contract, everything you play will be played." ”

Li Hao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, what the minister has done is a bit too hasty, to open a school in the country, the cost is huge, and I am afraid that the teaching talent is insufficient, it is better to try it out in Guannei Road for a few years, and after a few years, it will be pushed to the whole country, and then the funds and teaching talents will be available." ”

"This is a good strategy, quasi-play!" Li Shimin smiled, turned his head to look, and asked, "Where are I staying today?" ”

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, the minister's summer resort is idle, if Your Majesty can enjoy the light and stay, it will definitely flourish." ”

"Good!" Li Shimin leaned into Li Hao's ear and asked in a low voice, "After the reconstruction, is there still a bathroom?" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile: "Your Majesty, what do you say?" ”

"Hahaha......" The two laughed at the same time, and the ministers looked inexplicable and felt a little confused.

That night, Li Shimin stayed in Li Hao's summer resort, in the bathroom, Li Hao, Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Lei, the four of them took a bath in the bathroom together, although Wu Lei was Li Hao's sea manager, but his identity was too far away from the three of them, so he was a little scared and nervous, he didn't understand why Li Hao took a bath with the emperor to bring himself.

Li Shimin was a little puzzled at first, after all, he was not familiar with Wu Lei, and let a stranger take a bath together, Li Shimin felt that he should be satisfied, but after the introduction, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and the young man named Wu Lei in front of him actually sailed the Western Ocean many times, went to dozens of countries, and had a wide range of knowledge, although Li Shimin was known as the Khan of the Sky, but his knowledge was limited to the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries, and for the Western world, he had only heard of it slightly, and it was not true.

So he asked Wu Lei about the Western world, although Wu Lei was nervous, but when it came to business, he immediately forgot everything, and talked eloquently, he was very eloquent, and described the exotic customs vividly, Li Shimin and Li Zhi listened very devotedly, and constantly admired the size of the world, it turned out that Datang was just a corner of the world.

Wu Lei told them not only about exotic customs, but also about some sailing experience and trade, from his mouth, Li Shimin also learned that the big food country is very unfriendly to our merchants in the Tang Dynasty, and even has a strong hostility, which makes Li Shimin very unhappy, and Li Shimin learned of the huge profits of sea trade, and more determined to develop sea trade, which is also the reason why Li Hao took Wu Lei to take a bath together.

From the bath to the private room, they kept talking, but Li Hao and Li Zhi couldn't interject, so the two of them enjoyed the maid's massage there, listening to Wu Lei and Li Shimin's bragging.

At the end of the conversation, Li Shimin suddenly sighed happily: "Wu Lei, you are a talent, if you can participate in the imperial examination, you will definitely become a pillar of the imperial court." ”

Wu Lei said helplessly: "Your Majesty, in fact, the grass people have participated in the imperial examination, but they have not even passed the township examination, and they are deeply ashamed." ”

"What?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and felt a little slapped in the face, through such a long conversation with Wu Lei, he could be sure that Wu Lei was definitely a talent, not only eloquent, but also very clear and methodical, and also had his own unique views on some civil and political affairs, which impressed Li Shimin, but he was such a talent, and he didn't even pass the township exam.

Li Shimin began to reflect on why this is, he vigorously promoted the imperial examination, in order to select good talents for the country, and he also made bold statements to let the world's heroes enter our ranks, but did he do it, no, he began to doubt the imperial examination.

Seeing Li Shimin frowning and not saying a word, Li Hao finally had a chance to interject and asked, "Your Majesty is frowning, I don't know why?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Poetry madness, I vigorously promote the imperial examination system in order to include the world's talents, but a talent like Wu Lei, why can't he even pass the township examination?" ”

Li Hao smiled lightly when he heard this: "Your Majesty, if you let the minister take the test, the minister will not be able to take the township test." ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Hao in surprise when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "How is this possible, poetry madman, your poetry is so outstanding, how can you not pass the township exam?" ”

Li Hao said helplessly: "Your Majesty, what is the imperial examination, Your Majesty should know better than the ministers, the poems are written with feelings, but they do not enter Confucianism and Taoism. ”

Li Shimin was silent for a long time when he heard this, he seemed to feel something, but he didn't grasp the crux of the problem.

Li Hao looked at Li Shimin quietly on the side, did not speak, he knew that Li Shimin also needed to calm down and think about it.

After a long time, Li Shimin suddenly sat up, looked at Li Hao with a serious expression, and said: "Poetry maniac, you talk about it, the country chooses talents, how to choose talents, you just say it, no matter what you say, I will not blame you." ”

Li Hao's expression was solemn when he heard this, he hurriedly stood up, and arched his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister said it." ”

Li Hao pondered slightly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has always been the leader of Qunlun, and the kings of all generations have taken Confucianism as their national learning, which is an inevitable trend, because a big country must have an ideological unity, Confucianism, the most important thing is Confucianism, and the minister also said today that Confucius was first a great thinker, and then an educator. ”

"Confucianism? Well, not bad, Confucianism. Li Shimin nodded slightly when he heard this, agreeing with Li Hao's statement.

Li Hao continued: "Confucianism is indeed superior to other hundred schools of thought, and it is in line with the governing philosophy of various generations of monarchs, but this has also led the kings of the past dynasties into a misguided way, that is, to govern the country with Confucian ministers, what is Confucianism, Your Majesty should know better than the ministers, they have long studied the way of the sage, the teachings of the sage, the youth is endowed with the first poor scripture, although there are a thousand words in the pen, but there is no strategy in the chest, "Rites University" said: self-cultivation Qi family, governing the country and the world, Confucius's thought is aimed at teaching people to cultivate their own family, but governing the country and the world, it is not advisable, this, Presumably His Majesty has already felt it. ”

"I see." Li Shimin frowned and nodded, over the years, he gradually didn't like these Wenchen very much, and always felt that they didn't do practical things, but it was Li Hao, who was hated by these Wenchens, who performed miraculous feats and made a series of major things for the country and the people.

So he asked Li Hao: "Since Confucius's thoughts cannot be used to govern the country and level the world, what do you think should be used?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you should use the thoughts of the people."

"The minds of the people?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.

Li Hao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the public will carry the boat, the public will overturn the boat, the country is called Sheji because of the existence of the people, the people are stable, the country is stable, as the master of the people, he should seek the welfare of the people, as a minister, he should petition for the people, everything is from the perspective of the people, and there is no country that is not well governed." ”

"That's the truth...... I understand. Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, "I have devoted my life to being diligent in government and loving the people, just because what you said is just ...... My courtiers don't seem to understand. ”

Li Hao said: "In this case, Your Majesty can change the imperial examination system, the imperial examination examination, Confucian knowledge can not be less, and you can also appropriately add the question of people's livelihood, civil affairs, and military affairs, Your Majesty can also add a test at the end of the imperial examination, called the palace examination, the palace examination is personally made by His Majesty in the palace, as for how the topic is made, this minister is inconvenient to say." ”

Li Shimin was silent for a moment when he heard this, then suddenly stood up, looked at Li Hao with deep eyes, and said slowly: "Poetry madness, thank you for pointing out the country for me." ”

Li Hao shook his body and said slowly: "The minister serves the nation, and he is willing to do his best and die." ”
