Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 393 I Recommend Pharmacist Li

The hall was a little quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Pei Ji.

After thinking for a while, Pei Ji said: "Actually, this problem is easy to solve. Actually, there are not many foreigners who come to the capital to participate in the imperial examination to obtain scholars. There are only a few dozen. Among these dozens of people, most of them can still afford money. Yes, they can’t afford it, and it’s easy, why not recommend them to teach in a private school, so that not only can they study their homework, but also earn some money, and it’s not too late to wait for the next spring exam.”

What Pei Ji said is true.

It was only in the Sui Dynasty that the imperial examination began to take the imperial examination, but there were not many people who were really qualified. In other words, there were not many scholars at this time, and naturally there were even fewer people who were qualified.

And although it is to open a course to obtain a scholar, the previous method of selecting officials is also effective at the same time, so really qualified people, such as those from aristocratic families, can enter the court as officials without the imperial examination. Not many people take the imperial examination.

And among these few people, most of those who can afford to read are from families with good conditions, so why is it that money is not enough?
So those who really need help are only a small number of people. Let them go to teach to get through this year. Is it normal?

If they can't accept this, then they must be unable to bend and stretch, and they are definitely not talents.

Of course, what Pei Ji said was reasonable, but there were some loopholes that were not considered, but it was a proposal that most echoed Li Shimin's thoughts.

Therefore, when Pei Ji finished speaking, Li Shimin nodded: "Your Excellency Pei is right. Since this is the case, then let's settle this matter. This year's imperial examination will be replaced by next year. If there are scholars who can't live in the capital , give them something to do."

Even if the matter is settled like this, although some people are not convinced, but now they can't find a reason to refute, so they can only give up.

After talking about the imperial examination, Changsun Wuji stood up: "Your Highness, years ago, there was an urgent report that the Turks intended to use troops against us in the Tang Dynasty. If the weather gets warmer, Lingzhou will be attacked, so I propose to elect a marshal as soon as possible to lead the army."

After this matter was brought up, Li Shimin suddenly felt that this was a big issue related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

If you can't stop the Turkic attack, then when they break through Lingzhou, your prestige will no longer exist. At that time, the vassal kings from all walks of life may have to take action.

Troops must be dispatched as soon as possible.

Li Shimin nodded: "My dear friends, who do you think can be the marshal and lead the army to go out?"

As soon as he said this, Cheng Yaojin immediately jumped out: "His Royal Highness, I, Cheng Yaojin, are willing to lead the expedition and drive Turkic to my hometown."

Cheng Yaojin has led the army for many years, but he has always been a vanguard or something, and has never been a generalissimo. Li Yuan was in power before, so he was not given to him.

But now that Li Shimin is in charge of the government, he feels that he should have hope.

However, after Cheng Yaojin jumped out, Li Shimin directly filtered out his words, as if he didn't hear him at all.

"Do you have any candidates to recommend?"

Cheng Yaojin was ignored, which made Cheng Yaojin stunned for a moment, he is someone who has the merit of being a dragon, even if he is not suitable to be a marshal, Li Shimin doesn't have to treat him like this, right?

Cheng Yaojin was very sad and couldn't help curling his lips.

At this time, other people have stepped forward one after another.

"His Royal Highness, the minister Yu Chigong is willing to lead the army."

"His Royal Highness, I think Duke Yi Qin Shubao is suitable."

"His Royal Highness, I think Li Xiaogong is more suitable..."

Everyone said one person, I said one person, and not long after, five or six people were said to be suitable to be marshals, but these five or six people were all equal in strength and prestige, which made Li Shimin very embarrassed.

This issue has been arguing endlessly in the court, and when it was time to retire from the court, there was no negotiation to reach a result.
-
After the morning retreat, Li Shimin returned to the side hall to deal with the memorial.

He didn't expect that on the first day he presided over the morning court, he would have so many troubles.

This person in power is not easy to be.

Li Shimin wanted to calm himself down, and then deal with those memorials properly.

But when he thought about the marshal's matter not being resolved, he couldn't calm down. After all, the Turks might attack the city at any time, and the generals in Lingzhou might not be able to defend for long. The reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty must go out as soon as possible.

A gust of cold wind blew, making Li Shimin shiver suddenly, and at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly thought of someone.

"Come here, let Qin Tian enter the palace."

Since the change of Xuanwu Gate, this Qin Tian has nothing to do, he just seems like a normal person leisurely all day long. After all, Li Shimin is not yet the emperor, so it is inconvenient to give him any rewards.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a little jealous. He was so busy, but this Qin Tian seemed to have disappeared. If you don't call him, you won't be able to see him.

This little day is comfortable.

no way.

The cold wind howled, when Qin Tian entered the palace, he shrank his neck from the cold.

He really didn't want to go out, it was so comfortable to stay in his own greenhouse, but when he came out, he felt that he was not himself.

"His Royal Highness, why did Xuanchen come here?" Qin Tian asked after arriving at the side hall.

Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian, ​​curled his lips: "What are you doing at home recently?"

"Then you are busy at home. The New Year has just passed, and the Shangyuan Festival is coming again. There are many things in Jingzhao Mansion. They are all busy in Jingzhao Mansion."

It sounds like Qin Tian is very dedicated to his work. Others would probably believe it, but Li Shimin doesn't.

"Nowadays, the Turks may attack Lingzhou City at any time, and the selection of a commander in the court. What everyone said makes this prince a little tired, so this prince thinks about it, and thinks that you are more suitable. What do you think?"

"Marshal of Soldiers and Horses?" Qin Tian's voice suddenly became much louder, it could even be said to be a little harsh, as if he couldn't accept it.

Li Shimin rubbed his ears, frowned and said: "The Generalissimo is the Generalissimo, what are you shouting about?"

Seeing Qin Tian's shock, Li Shimin showed a little disgust.

"Chen... this... isn't it a bit shocking."

Qin Tian's speech was a bit incoherent, Li Shimin rolled his eyes again, and asked, "Just say whether you want to go or not."

Qin Tian shook his head: "No."

This answer is a bit straightforward. Li Shimin was shocked by the switch this time. Everyone wants to be a marshal, so why doesn't Qin Tian want to?

Another thing is that Li Shimin is a little angry, why don't you yell so loudly?

"Give the prince a reason."

"First of all, I don't have enough prestige. Small battles are fine, but big battles are not. What's more, I have a candidate in my mind who is very suitable."

"Who?"

"Pharmacist Li."
