Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 547 Visit
There is nothing wrong with the imperial examinations, what is wrong is that some people's interests have been moved.

Therefore, if some benefits are given to these people, this kind of fairness will be easily accepted by others.

Today's Changsun Wuji can't refute at all.

I have given everything that should be given, and if you still refute, then it is a bit unreasonable to make trouble.

Li Shimin glanced at the crowd, and said: "Just do what Qin Aiqing said. I have left the imperial examination to Kong Yingda. He is the chief examiner. But the questions are all my own. There are not many days left before the imperial examination." , you, as prime ministers, have to get busy."

The monarch and his subjects chatted for a long time in the imperial study, and it was almost noon when they left the palace.

The rain has gradually decreased a lot, and it is okay to not use an umbrella.

A few people left the palace, Changsun Wuji glanced at Qin Tian, ​​and said, "You boy, you are really bold, you will offend a lot of dignitaries, do you know that?"

Qin Tian smiled wryly: "What did Master Changsun say? They can still enter the court and become officials, and I didn't block their way. I think those children from poor families might hate me instead."

"Why?"

"Because many children from poor families have applied for the examination papers. They were hopeful at first, but once their names are lost, they have to rely on their real skills. Unlike those rich and powerful, they don't need to take exams."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Changsun Wuji suddenly felt that Qin Tian was shameless, he was clearly weakening the power of the powerful, but he still said that he was wronged, he was really not human.

He suddenly quickened his pace, too lazy to continue talking to Qin Tian.

The rain had lightened, Qin Tian was not in a hurry to go home, but went directly to Zhang Liang's mansion.

Zhang Liang, who took refuge in Wagang Village in his early years, later followed Li Mi to the Tang Dynasty, and became Li Shimin's man. Because of his meritorious service in the Xuanwu Gate, he was named the Duke of Changping County.

Qin Tian knew a little about Zhang Liang. When he was with Cheng Yaojin and others, Zhang Liang was always there.

And it was precisely because of these friendships in the past that he felt that Zhang Liang was the best persuasion, so he came to the Changping County Mansion first.

After Qin Tian came, someone immediately went to report to Zhang Liang.

At this time, Zhang Liang was setting up a banquet in the mansion, drinking with friends, and enjoying the performances of singers and dancers.

After the servant came running, he said, "Master, Lord Qin Tian and Marquis Qin are here to visit."

Hearing Qin Tian's arrival, a friend said, "Brother Zhang, I'm afraid Qin Tian is calling you to go to Shangshu Province."

"Haha, if the rest of us don't go, I don't believe how capable this kid is. He must be begging me."

Several people also thought it was like this, but another person said: "Brother Zhang, the reason why you didn't go is that you are sick, do you want to put on a play?"

Zhang Liang didn't put Qin Tian in his eyes, and said: "What kind of play, if we don't play, we should drink and drink as we want, play and play as we want, go and call Qin Tian in, I want to see if he can do it." What to do with me."

When they were together before, Qin Tian was regarded as his junior, but now that he is suddenly in charge, Zhang Liang really can't stand it, he just wants to see what Qin Tian can do to him.

He just wanted to anger Qin Tian.

After the servant took the order, he ran out in a hurry.
-
In the living room, the sound of singing and dancing is endless, and the sound of glasses of wine clinking and laughter can be heard from time to time.

When Qin Tian came, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Although he knew that being sick was just an excuse, but Zhang Liang was so blatant and didn't hide it, it was too much to despise Qin Tian.

I'm afraid that after entering, Zhang Liang will ridicule him.

If it was someone else, I would use my power to get him, but Zhang Liang is not an ordinary person. He is not a high-ranking person, and he does not have much power. It is really difficult to convince the public to be the prime minister like this.

Qin Tian stood at the door and hesitated for a while. At this moment, a servant came over and said, "Why doesn't Lord Hou go in?"

Qin Tian looked at the servant and suddenly smiled, and said: "Suddenly remembered, Ben Hou has made a fortune recently, it is not suitable to see patients, so please tell Zhang Liang, let him have a good rest, and go back when he recovers." , so as not to bring the bad luck of this Marquis."

Although he was smiling, his words were ugly. After saying this, Qin Tian didn't stop and left Zhang Liang's mansion directly. But after he left, he didn't go to other ministers, but to the ministers There.

If the Minister is not around, the Minister can exercise the authority of the Minister. It is the same to have the Minister. What Qin Tian has to do is to make these ministers panic and let them know that if they don't want to come, they will not come here for the rest of their lives. Without them , He can still do all kinds of things.

Originally, he wanted to persuade him with good words, but these people deliberately humiliated him, so don't blame him for using thunderbolt methods.

After Qin Tian left, the servant hurried back and told Zhang Liang about the situation.

After Zhang Liang listened, he felt a little lost.

"This kid has learned to be smart. If he comes in, I will have to laugh at him, but don't worry, he will come to beg me again soon."

Regarding this point, Zhang Liang seemed to be very confident. After speaking, he started drinking with the group of friends again.

"Brother Zhang is so brave, so courageous, he did a good job, he did a wonderful job..."

"That's right, I can't stand Qin Tian worshiping his prime minister at such a young age. It's really aggrieved to ask Brother Zhang to work under him. I feel worthless for Brother Zhang..."

All the friends talked one after the other, but here Qin Tian comforted the ministers of various ministries.

As servants, their official ranks and titles are not as good as Qin Tian's. Facing the high-ranking ones, they dare not show Qin Tian's face like those ministers.

Moreover, these people are only one step away from Shangshu, and now they feel that this is a good opportunity for them to be promoted.

If Shang Shu quit, they would flatter Qin Tian, ​​and maybe they could really get promoted.

Although this may offend those ministers a bit, but in the officialdom, there are more open and secret fights between you and me, and they cannot withstand the temptation of promotion.

A person obsessed with power is naturally willing to take risks.

When dusk came, Qin Tian had already taken care of several servants from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites.

But after finishing them off, Qin Tian didn't give up, but went to Li Ji's mansion again.

At this time, the rain had stopped. Although it was early summer, it was rare and cool. Qin Tian's arrival surprised Li Ji a bit.

"Why is Prime Minister Qin here at this time?" Li Ji smiled, and Qin Tian immediately expressed his sincerity and fear, and said: "The British Duke really knows how to make fun of juniors, it's fine for others to call you that, but if you call it like that, it's clear that this junior is making fun of you! "

Li Ji laughed out loud, but before Qin Tian could speak again, he suddenly asked, "Did that old man Cheng Yaojin find you?"

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, what business does Duke Lu have with this junior?"
