Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1653
Li Shimin's cheek twitched, and at the same time he wanted to slap himself and Wei Zheng.

He felt that he was really cheap, why did he give Wei Zheng a hero in Lingyan Pavilion?

Now that he takes this as a good thing, he must not intensify it in the future, even crazy impeachment?
Thinking of the days to come, Li Shimin felt dizzy.

And the officials in the court also felt a tremor.

At this time, Li Shimin could only smile wryly, and nodded to Wei Zheng, expressing his satisfaction.

Can you be dissatisfied?

Being the Son of Heaven is sometimes involuntary. When it's time to act, you have to act.

Wei Zheng retreated, his heart was indescribably excited, but his face was very calm.

The palace people continued to talk, 24 people had already been mentioned, but it was not Qin Shubao's turn yet.

This made the people in the court faintly puzzled, people like Cheng Yaojin, who were inferior to Qin Shubao in everything, had already become heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, why Qin Shubao hadn't been read yet?

If there is no Qin Shubao, then the hero of Lingyan Pavilion is probably meaningless, right?
It is true that Qin Shubao was from Wagangzhai before, and he once took refuge in Wang Shichong before surrendering to Datang, but even so, he is a real hero of Datang.

Cheng Yaojin's face was a bit ugly, if his eldest brother Qin Shubao hadn't been selected, he wouldn't want this hero who broke Lingyan Pavilion.

And at this moment, the palace man read: "No. 20 five heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Lord Yi Qin Shubao, Qin Shubao..."

The palace people talked about Qin Shubao's achievements, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

At least there is Qin Shubao.

However, they are also a little uncomfortable. Qin Shubao's contribution is very high, and he is ranked at the bottom. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?

Li Ji stood in the crowd, frowning. He didn't know the order. At the beginning they just confirmed the list of personnel. Now that Qin Shubao was read last, it was obviously Li Shimin's intention.

But why did Li Shimin do this?

God is unpredictable.

Li Ji raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin, as if he had sensed something.

Their emperor, if he had a broad mind, was definitely very broad. Throughout the ages, only Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, can compare. If he doesn't kill heroes, who can compare with this?

And the tolerance is unbearable, that is absolutely top-notch.

But their emperor is sometimes very suspicious and uses some imperial tricks.

Qin Tian has made a lot of contributions, and has been assigned the first place. If so, if Qin Tian's adoptive father is further ahead, then the Qin family will really be the master, even though they are only the foster father and son, But no one can deny that their relationship is really close, like father and son.

Regardless of the fact that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Tian are the closest to each other on weekdays, Qin Shubao is inseparable, but that is Qin Shubao's deliberate intention to prevent their relationship from being suspected by Li Shimin.

What's more, Qin Shubao is already the door god, and his status in the hearts of the Tang people can be said to be very high. If he is allowed to rank higher, it will also cause some danger.

Li Shimin is wary of generals, that is unquestionable. Although Yu Chigong is also a door god, he has been relatively honest in recent years, so it doesn't hurt to let him rank higher.

What's more, Qin Shubao is a handsome talent, he can be a marshal and lead the army to fight, while Yu Chigong is relatively reckless, he can only be a general.

In comparison, general talent is definitely less of a threat than handsome talent.

After thinking of these, Li Ji naturally figured it out.

As for this, Qin Shubao didn't have any complaints at this time, and he directly took it down to thank him. Obviously, he had already seen some clues.

It is already very unusual for both father and son to enter the Lingyan Pavilion. If they both move forward, they will not be stared at to death.

People, it's not a bad thing to keep a low profile sometimes.

As long as Li Shimin doesn't kill their heroes, Qin Shubao will be satisfied with the glory he has today.

The ministers talked a lot about Lingyan Pavilion one after another, so they spent a lot of time in the court.

By the time this matter was finished, it was almost noon.

The sun came out in Chang'an City today, and when the sun shone over, it was a bit warm, and there was a projection projected from the main hall.

Li Shimin glanced at the group of officials and asked: "Ai Qing, what else is there, if there is nothing, I will retreat."

The first time I went to the morning court, I felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. At noon, I wanted to go back to rest, not only the ministers, but also Li Shimin. During the few days of the Chinese New Year, I was lazy.

However, after Li Shimin asked, an official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is about to take place, but the matter regarding the imperial examination has not yet been decided. Who is in charge at this time and who is the chief examiner?" This year's spring will come earlier, and the imperial examination will begin in a month. I feel that the person in charge should be appointed as soon as possible."

The imperial examination has always been a major matter for the imperial court. It is indeed a good thing for Datang that the relevant responsible personnel have made an early decision. After this official raised this matter, many people in the court also felt that it made sense.

And while they thought it made sense, they were also a little excited, especially the civil servants of the Hanlin Academy in the court, because generally, the chief examiners, the Fu examiners, etc., all came from the Imperial Academy.

And these people in the Imperial Academy, if they want to have more prestige in the court, or even serve in the three provinces and six ministries, or even become prime ministers, they need to have a certain influence in the court.

And as the chief examiner, it is undoubtedly the best way to help them gather power by bringing those new scholars under his command.

These people are bound to win the position of chief examiner.

A group of people muttered, thinking that it should be settled early, Li Shimin nodded when he saw this: "You dear friends, you said it in time, the imperial examination is an important matter for my Tang Dynasty, and it can be settled as soon as possible, so that the world can be safe." The heart of a scholar, but we don't need to be too anxious, we won't talk about this today, we will discuss this matter tomorrow morning, and see who is more appropriate to entrust this matter to."

It was almost noon, and Li Shimin really didn't have the energy to spend with these people. Moreover, although the imperial examination was a major event, it was not so urgent that it had to be settled immediately, so there was nothing wrong with putting it off until tomorrow.

Li Shimin said this, who would dare to object to those people in the court?
After they looked at each other, they could only nod their heads, and they knew that there was bound to be a debate tomorrow morning.

The different forces in the court wanted to win over new scholars. If so, they must recommend their own people to be the examiners. There are too many monks, so how can they do it without grabbing them?
