Xu Yuan was not very convinced of Liu Yan's judgment this time, because the officials of the Tang Dynasty were generally quite afraid of Li Yan. However, few people dared to object to what Li Yan said, that is, Liu Yan sometimes could just deal with it a few words.

So now that Liu Yan said that the officials of the Tang Dynasty would oppose Li Yan's request for Muto Ichiro to serve in the court, Xu Yuan did not believe it at least.

"That's right, what Your Majesty said before did not suffer any loss to them. Most officials should do their job well in Chang'an City, and they would not overestimate some things. Your Majesty would not do anything to them. But this matter is different. Once this precedent is set, not only the Ministry of Works, but at least half of the officials of the six ministries can not pass the imperial examinations. This is a fundamental change for the Tang Dynasty's court!"

After Liu Yan said this, Xu Yuan naturally understood what he meant afterwards, but he could only nod slightly, ponder for a long time before speaking again.

"Liu Xiang means that if they don't object, their own position may not be able to be maintained until when?"

Liu Yan nodded slightly and continued, "You and I all know. Although Your Majesty has been selecting talents from the candidates in the provincial examination over the years, Your Majesty is the king of a country after all, and it is impossible for him to personally decide the positions from first to ninth ranks. In this process, how many people do not have much ability, you and I know even more. Only these people naturally know what the ending will be in the future court. Do you think they can't hurry?"

When Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan heard this, they fully understood. Xu Yuan smiled and said, "So many years have passed, and Liu Xiang has learned a lot of treacherous things!"

After saying that, the three of them laughed, and they all reached some consensus in this conversation.

Of course, these are what the ministers said, and Li Neng cannot know. After all, Li Neng once told them that there will be no fish when the water is clear!

They did help Li Yan accomplish this, but from another perspective, they are all scholars. Since they are all scholars, they will still feel a little uncomfortable with Muto Ichiro's high position, so they still have to give themselves a little time to digest.

They all knew that the relationship between the monarch and ministers of the Tang Dynasty was almost the best in Li Yan and their dynasty.

When Li Shimin was in the position, the relationship between the monarch and the ministers was indeed good, but it was different from them. At that time, the people at that time had another relationship except the monarch and the ministers.

Many times, some old ministers are willing to compare Li Longji or Li Yan with Li Shimin. In fact, Li Yan knows that Li Shimin does have his unique features.

By this era, Li Yan had already understood that it was the rule of the country, but to put it bluntly, it was the rule of man; and the fundamental reason for the formation of the Qingming political atmosphere during the Zhenguan period was the personal reason of the emperor Li Shimin at that time.

For example, Changsun Wuji, an important official in the Tang Dynasty, was Li Shimin's brother-in-law. He followed his brother-in-law to fight south and north, participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and contributed to the Zhenguan governance. No matter at any stage, he worked diligently in his post and showed his strengths. Li Shimin also trusted him extremely, and the relationship between the monarch and the ministers was extremely harmonious. Later, the Lingyan Pavilion record of the heroes was established, and Changsun Wuji ranked first, which was well deserved.

But after Li Shimin died, although Changsun Wuji, who was a entrusted orphan, still worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, he also did a lot of unethical things, such as slandering King Li Ke of Wu and forcing him to death; excluding and framed famous generals of the royal family, Li Daozong of Jiangxia County, and even exiled him to death.

But his nephew, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, was not a good deal. Under Wu Zetian's instigation, he accused him of executing his own uncle. The cruel relationship between the monarch and the affection of the monarch and the kinship relationship was heartbreaking. At this point, the relationship between the monarch and the subjects of the Tang Dynasty changed.

What Li Li really wants to analyze is why the same person has such a big difference in performance in the past and later stages?

He found that the key here was who the emperor was. In the era of absolute imperial power, the emperor's personal wishes determined whether the politics was clear and whether the relationship between the monarch and the ministers was harmonious. The so-called horses that were often found in thousands of miles were not often found in Bole. There were loyal ministers like Wei Zheng in any dynasty, but there were not any wise monarchs who could control their own preferences, follow advice at any time, and be able to calmly control the ministers. If a foolish monarch was replaced, a person like Wei Zheng might not have lived for three days.

So why can Li Shimin tolerate and employ people? Can he also tell who can use them and who can't? Li Yan read almost all the information left by Li Shimin and found that this is closely related to his background and experience, and he should also think about it carefully and learn.

In this era, Li Shimin was born with a golden key in his hand. His father Li Yuan inherited the ancestral Duke of Tang; and this title was obtained by Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu following Yuwen Tai to fight bloody battles around and relying on real military achievements.

Looking back, Li Hu was the fifth generation grandson of Li Yang, the founding monarch of Xiliang, and Li Yang called himself the sixteenth generation grandson of Li Guang, the flying general of the Western Han Dynasty. Moreover, Li Yuan's mother was the daughter of Dugu Xin, and Dugu Xin had two other daughters, one was the empress of Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, and the other was the empress of Yuwen Yu, the Ming emperor of Northern Zhou. In other words, Li Yuan and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, Yang Guang, were cousins, and Li Shimin had to call Yang Guang to call him cousin.

Li Shimin's mother, Dou family, also had a prominent family. Li Yuan's father-in-law Dou Yi was in Shangzhu Kingdom during the Northern Zhou Dynasty and married Princess Xiangyang, the daughter of Yuwen Tai. If you trace it back, his family originated from Dou family, a relative of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and can also be called a prominent noble from generation to generation.

You should know that before the birth of the imperial examination system of the Great Sui Dynasty, the ancient Chinese politics was almost controlled by the powerful and noble families; and in order to maintain their advantages, the nobles always spared no effort in family education. For example, why is the well-known calligraphy saint Wang Xizhi so outstanding? Because his family, Langya Wang family monopolized the Jiangnan gentry for hundreds of years, and even in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, people even became prime ministers; the so-called "Wang Xietang Qianyan" was his family. Therefore, he had money, time, and teachers to practice calligraphy well, and it is certainly not surprising that he achieved later achievements.

So when Li Qing found out that he became the emperor, he really had to thank the old Li family for his bloodline. The position of this emperor was almost a game between relatives before the Tang Dynasty.
