The situation outside the gate has not yet been presented, Chang'an is indeed a sudden change in the situation, in the court, a group of officials bowed and stood there, looking very respectful, bent down, holding a sign in both hands, eyes bowed, as if there were tens of millions of respect, but if you see their eyes, you will find that all this is just pretending.

The civil officials stood there, standing like a pine that had nothing to do with them, energetic and concentrated, as if they had a little to do with them, and they were concentrating on the ground, wondering if the smooth ground could reflect their handsome faces, tall bodies, and a pair of white hands that did not need to work: the military attaches yawned and fell asleep.

The mouth was wide open, unscrupulous, and the blurred eyes glanced around, a hint of amusement and banter was displayed, and then he closed his eyes, not wanting to get involved in those troublesome things, and a few of them hadn't woken up yet, with their eyes closed, leaning on the pillar beside them, the corners of their mouths showed a smile of spring dreams, and their saliva was dripping, even so, no one paid attention to them.

Because all the officials were waiting, watching, staring, watching, Li Zhi's lazy figure suddenly straightened up, his hands squeezed the table hard, and said hideously: "What do you want to do?" Are you going to be forced to die? ”

The voice suddenly raised by eight decibels, and it was piercing and sharp in the ears, and the heads of the officials below were even lowered, and it was none of our business, if Your Majesty wants to vent, go to those big brothers, a few figures standing in front of the hundred officials, their heads raised, their bodies were simple, and an official standing behind Pei Yan walked out, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty is angry, Weichen is not persecuting Your Majesty, but many things in the DPRK and China need to be dealt with, documents, cases, and many big things in various places need to be dealt with, the right minister is 70 years old, I can't go any further. ”

"Ahem."

Li Zhi was half angry with this person's words, is it very old to be in his seventies? Look at yourself, you're forty or fifty years old, right? How can you talk through your brain? Won't you deal with things that the right minister can't handle?

Everything is entrusted to others, so what use do you need, is there only so few people I can use?

"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, you can't continue to be angry, Your Majesty, Weichen is doing this for Your Majesty? Lord Zuo Xiang must have a spirit in heaven and will support us, Your Majesty! ”

His last words, "In the spirit of heaven, it will also support us." Completely made Li Zhi angry, Lord Zuo Xiang sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield, he hasn't been dead for long, you useless wastes have begun to covet his position, do you still have a little conscience? Are you still readers?

"Ahem, Hao Aiqing, Hao Aiqing, do you have to be like this?"

Li Zhi couldn't hold back his cough and stared at Hao Chujun below, Hao Chujun, the servant of the ministry, deep and high, but here he was fighting for the position of a prime minister, and he did not hesitate to speak like this, was he blindfolded by something?

What the hell is wrong with them? Is that location really that important? Did I really do that?

Ay!

"Where is Li Yiyan?"

As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, a person slowly came out of the hundred officials, his eyebrows were kind, there was a faint sorrow in the middle of the horizontal eyebrows, and he didn't feel the joy of being called, he felt the pressure on his shoulders, and a pair of eyes looked at him, staring at him, his eyes were full of excitement, shock, happiness, and gloomy, cold, he sighed helplessly.

"I didn't want to go on this trip to the troubled waters, but as a result, I still have to ......, hey."

"Wechen is here."

Li Zhi didn't talk nonsense with him, and waved his hand directly: "For the time being, you will handle the position of Zhongshu Province." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Yiyan to answer, turned his head to look at Hao Chujun, and seemed to say, are you satisfied now? Hao Chujun is not the kind of aggressive, in fact, it is not that he doesn't want to continue to persecute, but Li Zhi's eyes are too scary, and he can't wait to kill him with a knife, he retreats back, the pressure suddenly disappears, and the anger in Li Zhi's eyes still does not dissipate.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

His heart is tired, he doesn't want to talk a lot of nonsense with all this, he knows that the ministers who are engaged in intrigue and trickery are talking nonsense, and he will say everything, right?

Seeing that His Majesty was so weak, the hundred officials glanced at each other, and wanted to retreat, Pei Yan had a gloomy face, it was his own position, and he was taken away by Li Yiyan, the depression in it can be imagined, but he couldn't vent, turned back to Gao Zhizhou and nodded, Gao Zhizhou stood up, he stood up, not only the other officials were shocked, Li Zhi was also shocked, and anger appeared on his face.

Dare to make it clear, do you still want to do this? Then don't blame me.

"What is Aiqing's motivation?"

Preemptively, as soon as Li Zhi's words came out, Gao Zhizhou seemed to feel the tragedy, and looked at him with a pair of playful eyes, just to say that you can do it yourself, and it came out at this time, didn't you hit the muzzle?

But there is no way, if you don't stand up, can you still go back? You can't say that I have a cramp in my feet, but I just came out to do activities, right?

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say."

Li Zhi: ......

Pei Yan: ......

Hundred Officials: ......

Do you have any eyes to see that His Majesty is already so angry that he can't contain it? Do you want to test Your Majesty's endurance by procrastinating like this? Li Zhi's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at him coldly, Gao Zhizhou seemed to notice that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't know when the imperial examination will be held?" Next year or the year after, or is it it? ”

As soon as he spoke, Baiguan's face changed, and they all turned their heads to look at him, what are you kid talking about? Imperial examination, Your Majesty didn't open your mouth, but your kid actually spoke first, is this risking the world's disapproval? Don't you know how many people were offended when the imperial examination came out?

Some adults from big families, the officials of the Shi clan looked at him coldly, Gao Zhizhou's sweat was ticking, did I do something wrong? Or did I say the wrong thing? When he noticed Pei Yan's gray-black face, he suddenly realized that he had really said the wrong thing, and looked at His Majesty with a bitter face, waiting for His Majesty's punishment.

"Huh?"

Li Zhi sighed softly, imperial examination? Finally someone brought it up, this is better, don't talk nonsense, even the eyes that looked at Gao Zhizhou eased a lot, nodded at him, Gao Zhizhou was flattered, His Majesty nodded to me, not to scold me, not to punish me, he turned his head and saw that it was indeed a lot of people's coldness.

"What's going on?"

At first, he didn't understand, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that things had gone awry, and the imperial examination offended the interests of many people, especially those officials of the scholar clan and the officials of the big family, they all relied on their relationships to elect people in their own families as officials, and the imperial examination appeared, wouldn't it be that they had lost a lot of places invisibly, and their interests were damaged, if the position was gone, then they .......

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to think about it, because it was difficult for him to be an official with such a relationship, and as a result, he said such a thing from his mouth, after he went back, wouldn't he want to?

"What kind of mouth am I?"

Gao Zhizhou couldn't wait to faint and fall to the ground at this moment, he didn't know anything, but unfortunately, it was impossible, Li Zhijing's light flashed: "Lord Gao will go back first, since Lord Gao has proposed it, then I can't chill your heart, the imperial examination is conducive to my Tang Dynasty, the stability of the country, the harmony of the people, and economic development, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and if I follow Lord Gao's words, then I will not talk nonsense." ”

"The imperial examination will definitely be held, but not next year, nor the year after."

Li Zhi paused for a moment, and looked at the faces of the hundred officials below, all kinds, excited, happy, excited, it is best not to hold it, not next year, not the year after tomorrow, that is, it will not be held, when the time comes, Your Majesty, you will be mourned, and there will be nothing to do.

However, Li Zhi's next sentence completely broke off all their illusions, deeply stimulated their hearts, and it was difficult to calm down.

"The imperial examination will be held in this month, and in a few days, the imperial examination will be held in Chang'an, and all scholars who stand out, regardless of their origin, whether rich or poor, as long as they have the ability and literary talents, will be reused."

"As for how many official positions there are in the imperial examination this time, I won't say anything, according to the statistics of the six departments, everything that is vacant must be reported, if the six departments dare to show favoritism, then you don't have to stay here."

The last sentence surprised the officials of the six ministries and the officials of the three provinces, who had that plan in their hearts, but the result was .......

"It's all his fault."

The eyes invariably looked at Gao Zhizhou, Gao Zhizhou closed his eyes, he couldn't see anything, and his heart was extremely bitter, what did I do.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit ......?"

Pei Yan stood up, facing Li Zhi's cannibalistic gaze, wanting to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say it, and retreated, and the other officials didn't dare to speak out, there was an example, they didn't want to be looked at like this by His Majesty, it was strange that there was pressure.

Li Zhi glanced at the hundred officials lightly, and snorted coldly in his heart, you obediently shut up for me, it's best not to say anything, he was very satisfied with the reaction of the hundred officials, don't speak, silence is golden.

"Where is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?"

"Wechen is here."

A man who looked at the already old man stood up, with a white beard still hanging on his chin, black and white, and his sideburns filled with a white beard, and came out with staggering steps, Li Zhi's expression was gentle, and he said: "The imperial examination here is supervised by you, and no mistakes are allowed." ”

"The old minister knows."

Zhang Da'an's face remained unchanged, and he replied in response, without shirking, not sad or happy, not panicking, Li Zhi turned his eyes to look at the other officials, and said coldly: "You have all done your own work, you don't have to interfere in the affairs of the imperial examination, if I know which of you dares to interfere, then you don't have to stay here." ”

"Yes."
