Chapter 68: A stroke of genius
[I went to take the civil service exam, and even my car was stolen! Curse the damn car thief, it will make me sleep hard every day these days! Don't tell me anything, if I get in, what is it if I get a car stolen...... I just want to say, "Hehe!"]
After grooming Li Longji, Gao Lishi walked out of the door of the dormitory, and at the corner of the corridor outside the hall, Sun Desheng was waiting there. ◎,
"Old Ancestor!" Seeing Gao Lishi coming, Sun Desheng hurriedly stepped forward, took Gao Lishi's arm very naturally, and gently supported him.
"Now that your grade is the same as mine, you don't have to do this kind of thing in the future!" Gao Lishi said that he was about to pull out his arm, but Sun Desheng refused to let go, and at the same time shook his head, and said with a straight face: "The old ancestor is wrong! Back then, I was just a miscellaneous servant of the bell and drum division, if it weren't for the pity of the old ancestor, I am afraid that I don't know which corner I would have died in, how can I have today's glory?"
"What do people outside say'One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father', the kindness of my ancestors to me is much heavier than that of my parents and teachers, I want to forget these, that is, no matter how high I am graded, I will lose my duty as a man. ”
Gao Lishi listened with a smile, and let him go, and said lightly: "The saint has agreed to let Zuo Xiang be the main exam!"
Sun Desheng suddenly looked overjoyed and praised: "It's still the old ancestor who is smart, and this matter can only be done by the old ancestor!"
Colliers just smiled.
Speaking of which, Sun Desheng found himself this morning, and Gao Lishi was still a little surprised.
Last night's incident was obviously not good for Xu Xiang, I heard that Xu Xiang's students were all arrested by Li Linfu's people, I originally thought that Sun Desheng was Xu Xiang's person, and he should help Xu Xiang speak, but he didn't want to help Zuo Xiang Chen Xilie get the seat of the Chunqiu exam.
Although surprised, but for the sake of the rich gift list, such a thing is not too difficult, Gao Lishi should also go, and Sun Desheng has reached this position, even if he doesn't ask for his own help, he can do it with his own strength.
People are so sensible, refusing to cross themselves and directly connect with the emperor, it is already a good attitude, for the big celebrity in the eyes of the emperor in front of him, and destined to take over his future governor, if he really refuses, it is really not what a smart person should do.
It wasn't until he heard that the saint still called Xu Fan, and Gao Lishi understood that there was no dissatisfaction with Xu Fan because of yesterday's incident in the saint's heart, so he strengthened his mind to help.
After the dust settled, I looked back at it again, and the weather-beaten Colliers quickly became apparent.
Sun Desheng is still Xu Fan's side as always, today's request should be just a false shot, now this situation, it is obvious that the opposite side is scheming, step by step, Xu Fan, who has lost the opportunity, needs more partners, and also needs to make the situation more complicated......
Muddy waters are good for fishing!
As the emperor, he has just experienced the turmoil of the previous day, and he has no intention and ability to directly intervene in this new round of competition, so the saint also needs the situation to become complicated, only when there are more people fighting, no one can help anyone, and his status as a referee will be valued.
Although Chen Xilie once stood on the wrong team, what people are most afraid of is that it has no use value, as long as it is still useful, as a mature emperor, he hates you so much that he grits his teeth, and he still needs to use it where you should be used!
A little unhappiness is really nothing.
What's more, Chen Xilie's current situation is not optimistic, and the government and the opposition are coldly handling the previous events, and the collective and consciously avoiding them.
However, as the prime minister, Chen Xilie could not stand on top of the Golden Palace like a nobody, so he could only excuse himself from sick leave.
The crown prince's side has completely abandoned him, even if Li Heng still has a heart, in front of everyone, the prince and the prime minister of the current dynasty are too close......
It's no different from suicide!
However, being able to protect oneself does not mean that he has the ability to be unscrupulous, if Li Heng's strength is really to the point where everyone returns to the heart, he will not be so wronged that day.
Therefore, Chen Xilie can almost be said to have become an outcast, but it is not very good to take it out now, and when the time comes, it will be a matter of course.
But the hand of striving for the main examination of Chunyu can indeed be regarded as a stroke of genius!
Li Longji saw the contradiction this time very clearly, the people of the prince's family were unwilling to be abandoned like this, and they were unwilling to sit idly by, so they wanted to make trouble and make trouble.
The people on Li Linfu's side were not willing to be taken away by Xu Fan, so they also wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of it.
It's Xu Fan, speaking of which is really loyal to the country, although he is also making benefits for his subordinates, but there are so many vacant seats, and those who are not this will be the other family, so it is normal to take the opportunity to make some money. What's more, Li Longji also acquiesced in the expansion of Xu Fan's power, and originally intended to use him to balance Li Linfu, so he really couldn't be angry.
It's just that Xu Fan's control over his younger brother is really weak!
Before the boss could speak, his younger brother couldn't help but start grabbing it!
And in the battle of Yiqiē, it is inseparable from the contradiction between the wealthy family and the Hanmen scholars.
Regardless of which faction, almost most of the people are children of the family, and only a very small number of officials from poor families are born.
However, now I heard that Xu Fan intends to use this opportunity to dilute the power of the wealthy family in the court with the new science and technology jinshi, which is by no means something out of nowhere, and it must have been acquiesced by Li Longji.
It is said that as long as the power of the wealthy family can be weakened, almost no emperor will not agree.
You must know that although the number of people admitted to the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was very small, it was held almost every year, and the official positions in the Tang Dynasty were pitiful, so that even if the new science and technology scholars passed the examination, they might stay in Chang'an for many years and not get an official position.
Now that it's okay, Xu Fan actually plans to use this batch of fresh blood to inject into the court controlled by the wealthy family, which is tantamount to directly colliding with the reverse scale of the wealthy family.
Now Xu Fan is in full swing, and the special power he just gained from the turmoil has not been taken back by Li Longji, which is equivalent to holding the power of lore in his hand, although he can't shake up the power of the family in the court in one fell swoop, but if he is ruthless to deal with a certain family, it is almost a mortal situation.
Although in the end, Xu Fan, the prime minister, will definitely not be able to do it, but the family is ruined, is he not the prime minister, and he still cares about these dead people's?
For this reason, the family forces that cast a mouse trap on Xu Fan could not directly attack Xu Fan, so they targeted these simple students......
In Li Longji's view, Chen Xilie's choice is really a clever move to break his embarrassing situation!
In any case, no matter which wealthy family can not directly kill a large group of students, all they can do is to use a conflict to make these students unable to participate in this year's scientific examination as much as possible, and even directly use this pressure to force the imperial court to cancel this year's scientific examination.
However, Chen Xilie, as the prime minister, personally presided over this year's scientific expedition, and the meaning is completely different!
In the past, the annual scientific examination was conducted by a waiter from the Ministry of Rites at most, which was actually not very important, but Chen Xilie was of course very different!
After all, Chen Xilie is still the prime minister of the DPRK on the surface, and if the order to preside over this year's scientific expedition continues, the forces of all parties will inevitably give up the idea of putting this year's scientific expedition on hold.
And after all, Chen Xilie has been the prime minister for several years, and he was also promoted by the ministers at the beginning, and he has a lot of power after a few years of operation, especially before he was in charge of Hongwenguan, and his prestige among scholars and students is obviously much higher than that of Xu Fan, who has not been in Chang'an for many years.
Let Chen Xilie do the main examination of this subject, this year's batch of jinshi are all his disciples, and the jinshi of this subject are destined to be reused, which for Chen Xilie, can not only reverse the current disadvantage in one fell swoop, but even greatly expand his own power.
Is it such a good thing that Chen Xilie is afraid that he will not fight hard?
As long as Chen Xilie also joins this competition, almost half of the forces in the court will be involved, and the situation will become more and more complicated, and no one will be able to solve this deadlock......
Except for Li Longji himself!
It's just that Li Longji thought that Chen Xilie had to be guided by a master to have such a miraculous pen, but he didn't know that Chen Xilie was just being represented this time......
When the news came out of the palace, the restless Chang'an City suddenly seemed to be much quieter.
Of course, the most excited is Chen Xilie!
Chen Xilie, who originally felt that he was going to die, did not expect that suddenly such a great benefit would fall on his head, Chen Xilie only felt that the emperor's grace was mighty, and he bowed in pain in the direction of the palace on the spot, reflecting on his mistakes, and swearing to the sky to express his loyalty......
It's just that Chen Xilie's sincere expression made the preconceived Li Longji feel contrived, and even a little disgusting, if it weren't for the place where he was used, I was afraid that the next will would come immediately.
Unaware of the fact that he had been disgusted, Chen Xilie changed into his court clothes with twelve points of enthusiasm, raised the honor guard of the prime minister, and rushed towards Jingzhao Mansion.
After all, he is the prime minister, and this title is still very appealing to the people who eat melons who do not know the truth, and when Chen Xilie paid his respects to the prime minister, he did attract a group of talented staff members to enter the government.
The staff, who originally thought that their future was ruined, had already packed up their baggage and left, but after receiving the order, they were also very excited, and they quickly helped Chen Xilie analyze the current situation and accurately find the key point.
These students are the key to this time, whether it is to maintain the majesty of his prime minister or to show his strength to the outside world, Chen Xilie must protect these students. What's more, now these students can be said to be the foundation of Chen Xilie's survival, and they have long become crops in their own fields, how can people destroy them?
From the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Jingzhao Yamen, Chen Xilie walked very lively, similar to the singer of the big opera, because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion even asked the people to prepare a large cart of festive candy and baskets full of copper coins, just behind the Prime Minister's guard of honor.
The front was silent all the way, followed by a large group of little children happily grabbing candy and red envelopes......
For a time, it became a great wonder of Chang'an City.
