The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 250

"Today this kid came to the Tai Chi Hall again, so who could have offended him?" Looking at Li Chengqian sitting next to Li Shimin with his eyes closed, Cheng Yaojin whispered to Yu Chigong.

"Anyway, now that I see this kid, my heart gets scared, and I always feel that someone will be unlucky." Yu Chigong nodded and said.

While Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong underestimated in a low voice, Li Shimin also finished handling the official affairs of the court.Just when he was about to announce his retirement, Li Chengqian said, "Father, my son has something to tell Father."

"Is there something for the crown prince to play to me? This is a very rare thing. Then you should hurry up and let me and all the lovers listen to what the crown prince is playing." Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

"Father, after the original Chang'an county magistrate was executed, the post of Chang'an county magistrate has been vacant. So I'm going to recommend someone to take up the post of Chang'an county magistrate." Li Chengqian said.

"I don't know who the person you recommend is capable of serving as the magistrate of Chang'an County?" Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian.

"The person recommended by my son is called Qi Cun, and he is now waiting outside the Tai Chi Hall. As for whether he is qualified to be the magistrate of Chang'an County, the emperor will naturally know after asking." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, and then ordered Wang Dexuan and Qi Cun to enter the palace.Not long after, Qi Cun stepped into the Tai Chi Hall.

Seeing Qi Cun saluting to him, Li Shimin said, "Look up, let me see you."

The moment Qi Cun raised his head, everyone in the court was stunned.Most people were a little surprised because Qi Cun was so ugly.

But there are some people not because Qi Cun is ugly, but because Qi Cun looks too much like an old friend.Even Li Shimin was shocked.

And Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it any longer, and said directly to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty..."

Before Cheng Yaojin could say anything, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Did Lu Guogong feel very balanced when he saw that he looks similar to you?"

Li Shimin's words made everyone burst into laughter, and Cheng Yaojin also said with embarrassment: "This is so unbelievable. I, Cheng Yaojin, am ugly, so why don't I still fight for the emperor on the battlefield. "

"Although Qi Cun is not very good-looking, he must be a great talent to be recommended by the prince. So my old Cheng thinks that the emperor can agree to let him be the county magistrate of Chang'an County."

"I said Cheng Yaojin because he looks as bad as you. You think he is qualified for the post of magistrate of Chang'an County? Don't you think this is a bit too childish?" Yu Chigong looked at Cheng Biting gold said.

Although the dialogue between Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Li Shimin seemed to be joking.But Li Chengqian could see something wrong from their expressions.

It's just that Li Chengqian knew in his heart that now is not the time to get to the bottom of it.So he opened his mouth and said to Qi Cun, "You can show everyone your talent and let them see if you are qualified to be the magistrate of Chang'an County."

"His Royal Highness, I have a few questions, may I ask Qi Cun?" Hou Junji said to Li Chengqian.

Seeing Li Chengqian nodded, Hou Junji asked, "Officials should always remember to be upright and honest. I wonder how you can convince the emperor that you can withstand the temptation of money and beauty?"

Qi Cun said without hesitation: "Caomin can assure the emperor that if he accepts a penny in bribes during his tenure, the grassroots will not want this head."

Afterwards Hou Junji asked a few more tricky and weird questions, all of which were answered cleverly by Qi Cun.In the end Hou Junji could only snort coldly, and said nothing more.

It was inevitable that someone would come out and ask Qi Cun some questions about the Four Books and Five Classics, but none of them passed the test.

Finally Li Shimin nodded, and personally accepted Qi Cun as the magistrate of Chang'an County.And ordered him to go to the county government immediately to take office.

……

"Like, it's so similar. If my old Cheng sees him at night, I will definitely scare my old Cheng to death." Cheng Yaojin said to Li Shimin.

"No matter how similar you are, you can't say it directly in the Taiji Hall. If the emperor didn't interrupt you, I'll help you out. I really don't know how you will end up." Yuchi Gong said After pursing his lips, he said to Cheng Yaojin.

"Can you two stop arguing, let's hear what the emperor thinks about this time." Xu Mao said openly to Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, "When I saw him for the first time, I was really shocked."

"However, I think it should be just a similarity, not necessarily a blood relationship. After all, there are still many long-standing acquaintances in this world."

"Your Majesty, I feel that Qi Cun is definitely a tolerant person. Such a person must not be an ordinary person. Therefore, it is better for the Emperor to be on guard." Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin.

"Uncles, and uncles. Although I don't know who he looks like, you may not be exaggerating." Li Chengqian said.

"You know what a fart, do you know who he looks like?" Cheng Yaojin said after glaring at Li Chengqian.

"I don't know who he looks like, I just want to know how your dowry is prepared." Li Chengqian said to Cheng Yaojin.

"It's hard to talk about the dowry... What, what did you just say?" Cheng Yaojin asked Li Chengqian with his eyes wide open just after he finished speaking.

"Could it be that Uncle Cheng thinks that I'm not good enough for your daughter? If that's the case, please ask Uncle Cheng to take your daughter away sometime." Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.

"You have a good idea, boy. I have served you for more than half a year. You said you would send it back to me." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile on his face.

"Then hurry up and prepare the dowry. If the dowry runs out by then, don't blame me for beating my wife." Li Chengqian said to Cheng Yaojin.

"Hey, it's a good idea for you to be my old Cheng's girl. At that time, you may not be able to fight if you can." Cheng Yaojin said triumphantly.

"It seems that we want to congratulate you. Your precious daughter is finally married. Should there be a banquet in Jueweilou tonight?" Yu Chigong said with a big smile.

"Yes, it must be there. There is one person here, and none of them can be absent. Tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return." Cheng Yaojin said with a big smile.

Afterwards, everyone bid farewell to Li Shimin one after another, and then left Ganlu Hall to drink.

In fact, they knew in their hearts that Li Chengqian's intention to change the topic was that he didn't want them to talk about it anymore.How can these old fritters in the officialdom not understand.
