After the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examinations were opened, allowing scholars to specialize in imperial examinations, and even the different paths of civil and military. In the Song and Ming dynasties, when warlords were divided in the late Tang Dynasty, the court emphasized the use of literature and military control. Scholars were asked to study specifically, not to learn martial arts, but to study specifically, and the war was specifically responsible for military generals.

Scholars who practice literature but not martial arts will easily lose the martial spirit that has been passed down since the Han and Sui Dynasty.

Shangwu is not about making people fight with others, but through competition, to cultivate the bloodiness in a man's heart. However, a scholar loses bloodiness, only two ways. One is that he is cowardly and dare not take matters, and he is a turtle who is rude when he is at a big time, and he is ungrateful and has no responsibility. Another is to criticize various injustice in reality, and use this way to challenge authority to pretend that he is very bloody.

It has always been regarded as an advanced system of imperial examinations by later generations, but it eventually became a cancer. In fact, the imperial examination system was not as good as in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The system of imperial examinations was based on the system of recommendation and recruitment. Although the aristocratic families monopolized talent resources, at least the way for men in aristocratic families to train the next generation will not be biased towards the academic discipline.

Of course, Li Chongjiu opposed the imperial examination system, rather than abolishing the imperial examination system. At present, the gentry's power is unprecedentedly powerful, and it is impossible to take the power of selecting materials into his own hands without the imperial examination system. This is based on the national interests.

However, he changed the method of taking materials from the imperial examination system, changed the bad habit of using literature to win scholars on the Sui, Tang and Ming dynasties, and gave scholars a second way out, which was to study in the martial arts hall. With this way out, scholars would not only study in the imperial examination, but could also practice both civil and military. Li Chongjiu used this method to cultivate scholars' martial spirit.

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Yuan Shikai was the first to truly use scholars to join the army. After China experienced the pain of Sino-Japanese War, Yuan Shikai trained troops at a small station. He fully imitated the German military system, absorbed educated scholars, and aspiring young people to join the army, which made the prototype of the modern Chinese army.

Just when the wind and snow were coming in Youjing, heavy snow fell in Chang'an City on the banks of the Bashui River in Guanzhong.

Heavy snow covered the glazed tiles on the palace. In the vast houses, the bells at night echoed leisurely.

In Wuji Palace where Li Yuan is located, there are bright lights.

Li Yuan, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, was looking at the map slowly unfolding in front of him, with a loud look.

The inner historian Xiao Yu said to Li Yuan: "The battle against Liang is now a great victory. Our army's offensive was fierce and it had already captured Jiangling. Xiao Xian fled without fighting, leading more than 10,000 soldiers and family members to flee on a boat. Li Jing led a warship to pursue hundreds of miles, and later learned that Emperor Lin Shihong of Chu was downstream. Therefore, he temporarily retreated. At present, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and other counties have already submitted their letters to surrender, and Xiao Xian has only left Yuzhang and other counties to survive."

Li Yuan laughed twice and said, "Li Xiaogong and Li Jing break Xiao Xian like a shattered person. They really make me feel relieved."

Liu Hongji said: "Your Majesty, you can break Xiao Xian's newly acquired land, and Wang Shichong was defeated not long ago. The two places are together, and the former Sui Dynasty, my Tang Dynasty is more than halfway through the Tang Dynasty."

Xiao Yu said, "Yes, Your Majesty, now half of the country is left, and Zhao State is half the country, and the rest are Du Fuwei who has subdued Your Majesty, as well as the three families of Emperor Chu, Lin Shihong of Emperor Chu, Feng Ang of the Hanyang Prefect Feng Ang, and the rest are all owned by the Tang Dynasty."

When Li Yuan heard this, he said with emotion: "In the past, the Sui Dynasty lost its deer. The heroes of the world rose up together, and they fought for each other. The situation was even more chaotic than the end of the Han Dynasty. When I first started to raise an army from Jinyang, I made great ambitions to clear the world and wipe out the heroes of the world. Now I finally got half of the country. After all, I have only used it for less than five years."

Li Yuan had a passion for success on his face. He didn't know that he had spent five years in another time and space to pacify Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Xiao Xian, Lin Shihong, and Feng Ang.

Li Yuan created a history. He was the emperor who took the shortest time to unify the world. This record was not only unprecedented but also unprecedented, and no one broke it today. However, Li Yuan met Li Chongjiu in this time and space, but even in less than five years, he conquered half of the country, which is enough to be proud.

After hearing what Li Yuan said, Liu Hongji and Xiao Yu said together: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

Liu Hongji said: "If there is no Your Majesty in the world, I don't know how many people call themselves lonely or widowed in the world. This is all your majesty's contribution."

Li Yuan smiled slightly after hearing this, "Liu Aiqing, you don't have to praise me in Cao Cao's words. Although my hegemony today is not inferior to Cao Mengde, I dare not compare it with him. This person's mind and demeanor are better than me."

Li Yuan said it in his heart. He was so quick that he relied on the outside to be humble to the Turks, and he did not hesitate to bribe his children with money, or even cede land to please him. He relied heavily on the two major systems of Guanlong clans and the old dynasty officials at the inner dynasty, which was almost a new bud that grew in the Great Sui system.

Cao Cao was different. He destroyed the Wuhuan outside, conquered the Xianbei outside, and defeated the Turks in an endless battle. He used the emperor to command the ministers inside to command the ministers. Any minister who dared to oppose him, such as the Queen Fu clan, Xun Yu and Kong Rong, who killed him as soon as he said he could kill him, which was extremely powerful. Therefore, Li Yuan knew this point and he admitted that he was not as good as Cao Cao.

At this time, Xiao Yu said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, Duke Shu Guofu You of the Jianghuai Army sent a secret letter to Chang'an, saying that after Du Fuwei, King Wu, had a strange ambition and had a disobedient heart, and he also communicated with Zhao State and secretly communicated with Zhang Shan'an, the general manager of Hongzhou, said that after Du Fuwei defeated Li Zitong, he prepared troops in Danyang, and wanted to attack Hongzhou."

The hall suddenly became quiet. Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and walked on the hall. He suddenly shook his dragon robe and looked back and said to Xiao Yu: "Fu Gongyou, Zhang Shan'an and the other two wrote to me at the same time, saying that Du Fuwei was cheating. It was a coincidence."

Liu Hongji said: "Your Majesty, Du Fuwei proclaimed himself the Queen of Wu. Although he was granted Fu Gongyou as a servant, he actually promoted him and sued him in secret, and seized military power. Fu Gongyou was so resentful, and he might have designed the key points of Du Fuwei, but even if there was no Fu Gongyou and Zhang Shan'an and the other two secretly reported, I don't think Du Fuwei was so innocent and loyal to my Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuan laughed and pointed at Liu Hongji with his finger and said, "Hongji's words have always been in line with my intentions."

Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty, if Fu Gongyou wants to provoke an internal struggle in the Jianghuai army, we could have ignored it, but if Fu Gongyou did not get our response, he turned to Zhao State for help. With Li Chongjiu's character, he would inevitably interfere in the Jianghuai affairs."

Liu Hongji nodded and said, "Xiao Neishi said it well. Li Chongjiu has won Shandong. The next step is Jianghuai. It is reasonable to be in a position to look forward to Shu. What's more, Li Chongjiu is a person who will never be satisfied."
