Everyone has their own different choices, Gao Pei's choice can not be interfered with, as for whether it is good or bad in the future, he can only rely on his own luck, but Li Jun, as the emperor, can interfere with most people's choices, such as Xiao Renjie, Xiao Renjie's talent Li Jun has heard of it a long time ago, but what makes Li Jun pay the most attention is that although this person is young, he has a dusty atmosphere, all in all, Li Jun feels that Xiao Renjie is very similar to Zhuge Liang.

Because Xiao Renjie is more fond of his own eyes, so in the ranking of this imperial examination, Li Jun set Xiao Renjie as the first place, the second place is the Confucian scholar Di Qing, this person is Xia Houen's proud protégé, there is no sour breath on his body, and the strategy is also very exciting, and the third place is the miscellaneous Zhang Yun, after the top three are booked, Li Jun will no longer care about the rest of the things, and completely hand them over to the people of Shangshutai to do.

Li Jun took the top three strategies and looked at them carefully, and the more he looked at them, the more fascinated he became, especially Xiao Renjie's most exciting, Xiao Renjie proposed the separation of powers for the first time, that is, the separation of military power, political power and legal power, which Li Jun also agreed with very much, the reason why the Military Aircraft Department was established this time was to take the military power from the hands of the courtiers first.

As for the legal power and political power, Li Jun felt that it was still not suitable for implementation for the time being, because the Fa family was relatively tough, and if they were allowed to start a new stove and play by themselves, they would get rid of it sooner or later.

At this time, Xiao Wangzhi asked to see him, Li Jun hurriedly went out to greet him, Xiao Wangzhi saw Li Juncheng and said in fear: "Your Majesty is really tormenting the old minister." ”

Li Jun picked up Xiao Wangzhi and said with a smile: "Teacher, this is a gift from master and apprentice, I dare not waste it." ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and entered the main hall together.

When the two came to the hall, Li Jun took the three seals in his hand and asked with a smile: "Teacher, the top three in this exam have been discharged, the teacher might as well guess who they are?" ”

Xiao Wangzhi touched his beard and said: "Your Majesty, this is not difficult for the old minister, don't forget that the old minister also read the paper in person, which is better and which is bad, and naturally knows in his heart, if the old minister guesses well, the top three should be Xiao Yue, Di Qing, and Zhang Yun." ”

Li Jun laughed and said, "Teacher, you guessed wrong, don't forget your precious grandson." ”

Xiao Wangzhi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Renjie's strategy and discussion have also been read by the minister, in all fairness, it is good, but it is too radical, and the minister thinks it is inappropriate." ”

Li Jun smiled and said: "Teacher, you are really too harsh, Renjie's strategy really goes to my heart, the separation of powers is the policy of long-term peace and stability of the country, and I also agree with it, so I personally named Renjie as the top of the list this time." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wangzhi immediately surrendered his hand and said, "Please take back your majesty's fate." ”

Li Jun helped Xiao Wangzhi up: "Teacher, I have said a long time ago, as long as I am talented, I will be important, no matter what his family background is, Renjie will definitely become the target of public criticism this time, this I know, but real gold is not afraid of fire, I believe that Renjie will definitely withstand this test." ”

Xiao Wangzhi smiled bitterly: "Since Your Majesty is so confident, then the old minister won't say anything." ”

The two talked about state affairs for a while, and Xiao Wangzhi took his leave and left.

After Xiao Wangzhi left, Li Jun went straight to Empress Xiao's bedroom, now Xiao Meier's belly is already very big, seeing Li Jun coming, he hurriedly prepared to stand up and salute, Li Jun saw that Princess Izumo was also there, and he was a little displeased.

Li Jun glared at Princess Izumo and said, "Didn't I tell you everything, the queen is pregnant, don't come to disturb the queen if you have nothing to do." ”

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the concubines will not dare in the future." Princess Izumo said in fear.

At this time, Xiao Mei'er glanced at Li Jun and said, "Your Majesty, it's not to blame Sister Jin, Sister Jin found out that she was pregnant this morning, and it was the concubine who asked her to come over." ”

Hearing this, Li Jun's face softened a lot, and he walked over and held Princess Izumo's hand and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, you go back to recuperate with peace of mind first, and I will go over to find you after saying a few words to the queen." ”

"Sister, Your Majesty, the concubine retires." Princess Izumo said with a smile.

After Princess Izumo left, Li Jun helped Xiao Mei'er to sit down, Xiao Mei'er ignored Li Jun's flattery, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, why do you have time to come to the concubine here today." ”

Li Jun glared at Xiao Mei'er and said, "You are my wife, can't you come here?" ”

"Haha, okay, Your Majesty don't talk about it here, Your Majesty's concubines understand, don't worry, three hundred palace maids and concubines have been selected, all of them are daughters of good families, knowledgeable, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, and they will never disappoint those new scholars." Xiao Meier said with a smile.

Li Jun affectionately scratched Xiao Mei'er's nose and said, "Those who know me, Mei'er, by the way, who do you guess is the top of the list this time?" ”

"It can't be Brother Renjie, right?" Xiao Meier speculated wildly.

Li Jun nodded and said, "Mei'er is really smart, it's this guy, so this time this brother of yours is also among the marriages, you have to take good care of it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty......"

Li Jun came out of Xiao Meier's palace and went to Shangshutai to review a few letters, and Li Lin, Sima Da and others took the list over.

Li Jun read it from beginning to end and found that there was nothing wrong, so he wrote a big "can" on it.

Sima Da took the list with a smile, and Li Jun asked curiously: "Sima Da, which tendon is wrong today?" So happy. ”

Li Lin replied first: "Your Majesty, Lord Sima's nephew Sima Terrier is also on the list, so Lord Sima is very happy today, but unfortunately there is no successor, and several juniors have fallen off the list." ”

Li Jun smiled and said calmly: "Li Qing, it doesn't matter, there will be a chance in the future, it is not a bad thing for young people to practice more." ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the minister also comforted them in this way." Li Lin replied with a smile.

A few people chatted a few more words, and Li Jun asked: "Two Aiqing, I have a plan, that is, to select the top fifty in this exam to enter Shangshutai, as for those old people last year, I plan to send them to various counties to be county commanders, this year's Yushitai is very powerful, and nearly 100 county commanders have fallen off, and officials are urgently needed to make up for it at this time." ”

"What Your Majesty said is reasonable, and the minister has no objection." Sima Da was the first to stand up and agree.

Li Lin frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, the candidates for Shangshutai can only make up half of them, what should we do with the rest?" ”

Li Jun shook his head and said: "I asked the prime minister, and the prime minister said that there is no good way now, and he can only choose people from the Jiuqing Yamen, although it is an expedient measure, but it is better than nothing." ”

"The minister has no objection." Li Lin said.

Li Jun nodded and said with a smile: "The newcomer is here, and I still rely on the two of you to take care of it." ”

"This is the responsibility of the ministers, please rest assured." The two of them immediately replied......

Today's capital is very lively, the officials and bad people of Jingzhao Mansion took the list of three hundred to find people everywhere, some people were found out in the Qinglou wine shop, and some people were found out in the inn, the most dramatic thing is that a few guys from the Mo family finished the exam, and went to the fields around the capital to help the farmers farm, so they were still found out by the vast number of bad people, and the disgraced ones caught up with a white horse, and they left after knocking and beating, and those who didn't know thought that this was a happy event.

And Xiao Renjie didn't go anywhere today, so he stayed at home quietly and waited for news, which was specially told by his grandfather Xiao Wangzhi, so Xiao Renjie also understood that he seemed to be sure to pass this subject, but he didn't know what his grades were? Thinking of the shocking article he wrote, Xiao Renjie couldn't help but admire Li Jun's mind even more.

As far as his article is concerned, if you meet a faint monarch like the first emperor, you will not only be beheaded, but also likely to affect the family, because the so-called separation of powers is actually to control the monarchy, which is simply a great disrespect in the eyes of the royal family.

While Xiao Renjie was thinking wildly, the housekeeper ran in happily and said, "Congratulations to Young Master Sun, Gao Ke has won the middle school and is at the top of the list." ”

Xiao Renjie was usually a very calm person, but when he heard the news, he also danced happily and said, "Quick, get my new clothes, and I'll go to see Your Majesty now." ”

It was the first time for the old housekeeper to see Young Master Sun so out of shape, and he hurriedly replied with a smile: "Young Master, don't worry, the person who announces the good news is waiting outside, you change your clothes, and you have to ride a white horse to parade, and you can only participate in the Dragon Gate Banquet held by Your Majesty at night." ”

"Ah, is that so sassy?" Xiao Renjie asked reluctantly.

The old butler nodded affirmatively and said, "Young Master Sun, this is a great honor." ”

Xiao Renjie shook his head with a wry smile, it seems that Your Majesty wants to put me on the stove for the exam, and I can't keep a low profile if I want to, since this is the case, it is better to be presumptuous once, don't you be a young man.

After figuring it out, Xiao Renjie immediately changed into a white dress and went to participate in the parade, as expected, Xiao Renjie, who was already handsome, was dressed in white and rode a horse, and immediately fascinated the girls and young women in Chang'an City, and even Li Moyue, who came out to see the excitement, said with a smile: "I have long heard that Xiao Lang's appearance is the best in the world, and today it seems that it really deserves its reputation." ”

When Gao Juan heard this, she immediately pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "A little white face, what is there to be angry about." ”

Li Moyue knew her sister-in-law's thoughts, so she stuck out her tongue mischievously and stopped talking.

That night, Li Jun held the second Dragon Gate Banquet in Peony Lake, this time the Dragon Gate Banquet was much larger than the last time, not only the nobles were dispatched, but the envoys from various countries also came, and this time Li Jun did not leave halfway like last time, but accompanied to the end, at the end of the banquet, Li Jun clapped his hands, and the noisy banquet suddenly quieted down.

Li Jun coughed and said: "All the talents are the future pillars of my Tang Dynasty, since ancient times, talents and beauties, today I will be the master and be a matchmaker for everyone." ”

As soon as Li Jun's words fell, He Shen clapped his hands, and suddenly more than 300 palace maids rushed in, the Jinshi were basically young people, and it was the most difficult to accept the grace of beauties, and the scene suddenly became lively, only the Mo family and the people of the peasant family disdained this, and a group of people got together to study the rare plants of Peony Lake.
