Datang: Cheating at the Beginning of the Imperial Examination

"The emperor...there really isn't a simple character."

Looking at the ministers, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh a little. He really thought that Li Shimin had such a good temper that he could bully him at a young age.

I don't know how he died by then.

"Weichen heard that there is a vacancy for the position of a young minister in Honglu Temple. Your Majesty appreciates this person so much. It is better to let him go to preside over Honglu Temple first. After a few years of tempering, it is not too late to go to promotion."

an officer suddenly proposed.

Many other officials, whose eyes lit up immediately, couldn't help clapping their hands.

Simply murderous.

Everyone knows that Honglu Temple is one of the nine temples in charge of foreign guests and ceremonies.

To put it bluntly... it is to entertain foreign envoys.

On weekdays, he fights with other countries and fights for his own interests.

However, unlike the foreign education departments of later generations, there is no real power.

There is no way to call the shots. If you want to make a final decision, you still have to report it and order it from above.

Lu Yan's expression changed, and he seemed to understand what Li Shimin was thinking.

The gaze that looked at Li Shimin became a little subtler.

This guy is really black-bellied, and what he noticed before he came was not wrong at all.

What happened today is probably more than once.

Li Shimin usually didn't have any reaction, but today he was so furious.

Clearly, it's just acting.

This kind of scene will appear today, he has already expected it, and it is inseparable.

But still chose to do so.

I'm afraid he has had this idea long ago, but it has not been implemented for a long time.

Friction between the family and the emperor occurred from time to time.

A person like Li Shimin would never allow an aristocratic family to provoke the dignity of the royal family.

So wait until enough time, enough time to grasp.

He will not hesitate to completely detonate this problem, so as to find an opportunity to make Wu Xing Qi Wang suffer a major blow.

Weakening the family and increasing centralization.

It is estimated that this is what Li Shimin thought.

However, there was no chance for him, and his appearance made Li Shimin wait for the opportunity.

Use him to detonate the problem.

All of a sudden, he put himself on the opposite side of the aristocratic family, and could only stand aside with Li Shimin.

As soon as Lu Yan appeared, he became the focus of everyone, but he also became the enemy of the family.

It can be said to be an opportunity, or it can be said to be a disaster.

Depends how you look at it.

"But why did you choose me for this limelight... Could it be..."

Lu Yan's pupils shrank, looked up at Li Shimin, and had an idea in his heart.

Li Shimin also felt Lu Yan's gaze, and when he saw his expression, he immediately understood, I'm afraid this person has already guessed his own thoughts.

I didn't feel embarrassed, on the contrary, I was a little happy. Dealing with smart people is just comfortable.

Sure enough, he didn't see the wrong person, and he even showed a smile to Lu Yan, the smile faded for a while, and returned to that gloomy face.

Not only is it black, but also thick-skinned.

Lu Yan silently added another sentence in his heart.

Everyone underestimated Li Shimin. Everyone thought he was on the first floor and only saw the second floor, but they didn't know that he was already standing on the fifth floor.

"The emperor...there really isn't a simple character."

Looking at the ministers, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh a little. He really thought that Li Shimin had such a good temper that he could bully him at a young age.

I don't know how he died by then.

"Weichen heard that there is a vacancy for the position of a young minister in Honglu Temple. Your Majesty appreciates this person so much. It is better to let him go to preside over Honglu Temple first. After a few years of tempering, it is not too late to go to promotion."

an officer suddenly proposed.

Many other officials, whose eyes lit up immediately, couldn't help clapping their hands.

Simply murderous.

Everyone knows that Honglu Temple is one of the nine temples in charge of foreign guests and ceremonies.

To put it bluntly... it is to entertain foreign envoys.

On weekdays, he fights with other countries and fights for his own interests.

However, unlike the foreign education departments of later generations, there is no real power.

There is no way to call the shots. If you want to make a final decision, you still have to report it and order it from above.

It can be said to be the most powerless and idle department.

So even Shaoqing, the person in charge of Honglu Temple, was just an eighth-rank official.

The distance from the [-]th-grade sesame official is not much better.

In such a department, it is impossible to hold real power, and the official position is not high. If you stay for a few years, even the most powerful genius will eventually be smoothed out by the years and become an ordinary person.

This kind of department, the family does not look down on it at all.

All they need is to have absolute control, allowing them to hold the economic and political lifeline of Datang.

Therefore, most of the people who are eligible for the early court in the courtroom are from aristocratic families.

The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple does not even have the qualifications to go to court every morning.

Not as good as the county magistrate of Chang'an.

It was undoubtedly the best decision for them.

All are happy.

"As a teenager, it's time for self-learning. If you are too greedy, you may only be self-defeating, and eventually you will be wronged, but you will cause a serious crime and lead to death."

The minister said again, this sentence was obviously addressed to Lu Yan, but it was already a very obvious threat.

Wei Zheng's complexion also changed greatly. He did not expect that this family would be so merciless, it would simply put people to death.

"But...that's to protect him."

Wei Zheng sighed inwardly and looked at Lu Yan.

In all fairness, he still appreciates what Lu Yan said just now.

A wise and capable young man.

With a little training, he is definitely an excellent official.

But he came from a bland background and was targeted by an aristocratic family. Although he also wanted to let Lu Yan go to hone for a few years, it was impossible for him to put it in Honglu Temple, where talents were wasted.

But he didn't choose to stand up and refute, and Lu Yan didn't appreciate him so much.

At the very least, as long as Lu Yan can accept this treatment, there will be no life worries.

Wei Zheng knew how tough the family was in political struggles.

Today Lu Yan sits in this position, and tomorrow it is possible that he will be confounded and convicted, and finally end up with the fate of being slaughtered.

The only pity.... is that there is less talent.

Li Shimin faced the official's proposal, even with a slightly insulting nature, his face was still gloomy as water, he could not see any expression, and he did not know whether he was angry or not.

Instead, his eyes fell on Lu Yan: "What do you think about this matter?"

Let Lu Yan go to solve the problem directly.

The struggle between the family and the emperor had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to care about it.

But......these families in front of them are really domineering.

He was so overbearing that he almost wrote contempt on his head, disdain for him.

They are even more willing to make threats. After all, in their eyes, civilians like themselves are like ants, who can be crushed to death at will.

A cold light flashed in Lu Yan's eyes, did he really think he was a dough that could be kneaded at will?

Since Li Shimin chose to let himself solve this problem, don't blame him for being too arrogant.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the tempering of time is nothing but mediocre words to comfort themselves."

Lu Yan stepped forward to salute.

The expressions of those officials just now changed, and these words were already scolding them all with their noses pointed at them.

"If it is true that diligence can make up for one's weakness, then what does a genius do?"

Lu Yan raised his brows with a hint of contempt on his face. The arrogance of the young man was clearly displayed at this moment.

PS: The third update is here, asking for flower evaluation tickets to reward the comments and beg for everything!

Chapter [-]: This IQ dares to bet with me?

"Since the officials feel that I am still young and lacking in ability, and need to be sharpened, why don't we take a gamble?"

Lu Yan took a step forward, ignoring the already extremely ugly faces of those officials: "Put it on, poetry, articles, politics... If you come, I can handle it."

"If I lose, I will leave on the spot, and I will no longer be an official in this life!"

Lu Yan glanced around the officials with cold eyes: "If you lose, take the blame and resign... How about it?"
