Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 982 Good advice!

Ma Zhou and Chu Suiliang did a good job on their errands. Although the time was very tight, the quality of the completed work was good. Whether it was the initial test or the palace test papers, Li Chengqian had read a sample of them, and the quality was obviously higher than the previous ones, which he did not expect.

Cangwen Academy, with the longest face, took all the positions in front of the Jinshi list of the aristocratic and common families. Liu Qixian, Wang Fangqing, Pei Xingjian, Wang Xuan, Lu Yuanfang, Zhang Xi, Li Jingxuan, Changsun Jun, Changsun Yan, and Changsun Wen were among the top ten.

However, Li Jingyuan, Yang Wu, Li Jingkan, Wang Dezhen, Zhao Renben, Yuan Shuji, Hou Sizhi, Li Yifu, Ren Zhigu, Wang Xuan, Wang Hongyi, and Zhang Jianzhi all occupied the top [-] positions among common people Jinshi. A chip."

When the list was presented, Li Chengqian was really taken aback. In order to prevent someone from "following him", he deliberately read all the papers out. Just for this, that fellow Chu Suiliang even stood in front of him. I remonstrated a lot.

I taught Li Chengqian a good lesson, and carefully explained what it means to employ people without suspicion, and to use people without suspicion. The most important thing for an emperor is to know and employ people. The prince repeats this when employing people, how will he govern the world in the future!
Li Chengqian admitted that he was overthinking about this matter. Although he didn't want to listen to Chu Suiliang's earnest words and admonishment, but because of this matter, he endured it; Reasonable courtiers skillfully lead the problem to the scholars.

Ma Zhou's idea is very simple. Paste all the examination papers of the Jinshi that passed the examination on the walls of the tribute courtyard, so that the scholars who failed the exam can read them by themselves, find out the gap with others, and take it as a permanent example. It will be more transparent and open, so that All referees were completely convinced.

There are two advantages of doing this; first, it reflects the impartiality and selflessness of the crown prince, and he did not break the etiquette system of the national talent promotion ceremony because of closeness and estrangement, favoring the students of Cangwen Academy, and treating all talented people in the world equally.

Second, no matter how fair the selection of scholars over the years is, the students are not convinced, because the examiners have the phenomenon of selfishness and fraud. It's a bad thing, and it's a good thing.

The prince is afraid that people will say that they are not the examiners. The reason why Chu Suiliang lost control of his emotions today is entirely because he has been squeezed by all parties. Once this is implemented, it will definitely stop Youyou's mouth. Innocence, why not do it!

Hearing Ma Zhou's words, and seeing Chu Suiliang's dark face immediately filled with smiles, Li Chengqian cursed in his heart: It's a dog's face.Immediately he said: "Hey, King Bin, you are very careful, just do as you say, Zhongshu can handle it as soon as you save it."

"Okay, the government affairs are finished, let's talk about tonight's banquet. This time, the number of candidates for scholars is the largest since the founding of the country. You two have made great contributions. As their teachers, I alone allow you to be promoted to middle-level and high-ranking officials." Above all else."

"Okay, don't give up. I, Tang Dynasty, valued meritorious deeds, and respected ethics, civil and martial arts. Changzhi is the face of the prosperous age. I do this to let the world know that as long as I have contributed to the country, the Li family will reward you no matter what time it is." .”

After thanking the crown prince for his kindness, the two of them withdrew from the Xuanzheng Hall and went to Zhongshu Province, and Ma Zhou criticized Chu Suiliang at the same time.As an old minister from Qiandi, Chu Suiliang shouldn't be ignorant of the benefits of the prince's temper and such a strong emperor.

"Brother Dengshan, you are a leader in the literary world, and you are all scholars, that's right; but you shouldn't contradict the prince, he is not what you think, if you don't believe me, can I give you the position of the examiner?" Ma Zhou sighed and said something helplessly.

"Prince Bin, I'm also confused by anger. The prince is open-minded and has the capacity to tolerate people. He doesn't care about this person who doesn't know the door for a while." Chu Suiliang replied indifferently.

Seeing Chu Suiliang's carelessness, Ma Zhou was even more worried, and said immediately: "Well, it's your attitude, I don't think so, in the eyes of the monarchs, this is a manifestation of taking credit and pride."

"Don't be dissatisfied. Look at Li Jing, Hou Junji, Li Ji, Yuchi Jingde and other veterans in the military. Are they worthy of comparison? But in front of the prince, do you dare to do this? "

"You, you have been in the court for many years, and you have no chance to go out with His Highness. What are the things written in the battle report? You didn't go to see it with your own eyes. It is worse than His Majesty back then."

"You do the math yourself. When you were with His Majesty, you beheaded many prisoners. Look at him again. Among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, East Turkic, Western Turkic, Tuyuhun, and Tubo, the least one is not above [-] levels."

Hearing Ma Zhou's words, Chu Suiliang raised his brows and said, "Hey, what you said makes sense, the prince is really good at martial arts, even the older generals in the army have to say something .But without his ability, His Majesty would be able to hand over Datang to him with peace of mind!"

"You also know! The East Palace not only has a prince, but also a grandson. The prince has come to this day not because he can fight better than your majesty, but because he is more ruthless than your majesty. Have you ever seen any dynasty and generation of princes take their own? With your head on the belt of your trousers?"

"He can achieve what he is today, and it doesn't have to be easy for His Majesty's road to the throne. Is such a hard-boned crown prince the object of your preaching?
Are you smarter than the great Confucian Li Gang?His students are really not as good as you.That's because I don't care about you, and I don't want to destroy Li's reputation of being kind to heroes! "

Ma Zhou is not only outstanding in ability, but also an official who understands current affairs and knows how to do things. Both the emperor and the prince love him very much. He is the celebrity in front of the supreme father and son. The post of Zhongshu Ling.

Chu Suiliang is his good friend, and the two often write poems together. He doesn't want Chu Suiliang to serve the emperor with a scholar's bad temper. It doesn't matter once or twice. The prince is open-minded and can bear it; When ghosts hate people, who can pay attention to him.

"Brother Dengshan, you are a veteran of the Qin Palace. You have been with His Majesty since you were young. You have been with His Majesty for 30 years. You have a big beard. You are about to become the prime minister of the three provinces. If you take another step, do you think you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

What Ma Zhou said couldn't be more clear. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xiao Yu are getting older, and Liu Ji is being treated by the crown prince again. Now there are four real power positions that are vacant.If Chu Suiliang didn't know how lazy he was, he would be replaced by younger generations like Zhang Xingcheng and Gao Jifu.

The real problem lies here, and there are not many choices for Chu Suiliang, either to change his bad temper and take a step forward, or to retire as early as possible, take an idle official position, and concentrate on learning.Where to go depends on how Chu Suiliang chooses!
