Chapter 200 and 18: Inside the Temple of Manna (II)
This case was handed over to Dali Temple and Shenhou Mansion to jointly investigate and handle in the court, but from beginning to end, Dali Temple has not taken care of anything except for those stacks of useless information, and it has always been Xuan Shijing's people who are investigating, and now the case is broken, and Dai Xuan presents it to the court, and the credit of the Shenhou Mansion in investigating this case will be cut by at least half.

Xuan Shijing himself doesn't care, but he is a little unhappy for the Jinyi guards under his hands, the current Jinyi Wei is also a court official, relying on merit to eat, promoted and rich, such a toss, the income is halved and it is helpless.
Riding out of the imperial city, Xuan Shijing went to Xuanwu Tower, this case is really the Hou Mansion hidden his selfishness to keep Shan Chong, so the credit is halved or something, and it is also worthy of this selfishness, but Xuan Shijing is unwilling to let Jinyiwei suffer, so the reward that Jinyiwei deserves, Xuan Shijing intends to subsidize it himself.
Ganlu Palace, after Xuan Shijing left, His Majesty Li Er asked Deyi to summon Ma Zhou, about the palace test proposed by Xuan Shijing, His Majesty Li Er urgently needed to find someone to discuss.
Originally, His Majesty Li Er's most trusted thing was nothing more than his eldest brother, Changsun Wuji, but this matter involved some of the interests of the family and also harmed the interests of Changsun Wuji, so His Majesty Li Er planned to bypass Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang and other important ministers to discuss with Ma Zhoulai, who he was most optimistic about.
Ma Zhou has a genius, he was just a cloth cloth back then, and in just a few years, he entered the center of the court, and won the respect of His Majesty Li Er.
In the past two years, Ma Zhou's strategy proposed in the court, including the excerpts handed to His Majesty Li Er on weekdays, faintly has the idea of targeting the family and reducing the power of the family, which coincides with His Majesty Li Er, before His Majesty Li Er did not respond to Ma Zhou, but felt that Ma Zhou was still a little unstable in this matter, and he was in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Lord Ma Zhou has arrived." Deyi walked into the Ganlu Hall one step ahead of him, and walked to His Majesty Li Er's side and whispered.
Soon, Ma Zhou dressed in an official uniform and walked into the Manna Palace.
"Chenma Zhou, see Your Majesty." Ma Zhou stood in the hall and bowed to His Majesty Li Er.
"Excuse me, Ma Zhou, I summoned you here, there is something I want to hear your opinion." His Majesty Li Er said.
"Your Majesty, please speak, and the ministers will listen to you."
"Let me ask you first, what do you think of this year's Spring Festival?" His Majesty Li Er's eyes were deep, and he looked at Ma Zhou in a red robe in the hall with deep meaning.
"This ......" Ma Zhou was stunned, why did His Majesty ask about the Spring Festival again, isn't the chief examiner already decided.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still replied: "The matter of the Spring Festival, above the court, Your Majesty has appointed Lord Gao Shilian and Lord Xiao Yu Xiao as the chief examiners of this Spring Festival. ”
Although Ma Zhou's temperament is sometimes very upright, he will not be a blatant sinner, and he has been an official in the court for many years, even if he is a sea urchin, he should be brought out by this court.
His Majesty Li Er smiled: "As for the chief examiner, I am not worried, I want to ask you, how did you do in the Jinshi Ruli Department examination school selected by Chunyu?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Jinshi selected by this Chunqiu can only be appointed to an official position through the Ministry of Rites examination, isn't it like this all over the years?" Ma Zhou said.
"Ma Zhou, do you remember the scene when you were recommended to me?" His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Back then, it was also in this manna hall. ”
Ma Zhou arched his hand: "Minister, don't dare to forget, if there was no His Majesty to know about it back then, Ma Zhou would have no future today, and I am afraid that he would be useless and wasted his life." ”
"That's it, I won't go around the bend with you, today someone proposed that I should save the Spring Scholar Department to take the examination, and I will personally ask for advice in the Taiji Palace, what do you think?" His Majesty Li Er asked.
Hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, Ma Zhou's eyes instantly lit up after thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, Great Goodness!" Ma Zhou responded with a happy face.
Ma Zhou Huaicai, it was not that he tried to pass the big exam to get ahead and enter the court, but after the big exam, he got the status of a jinshi, but because he had no way out, he did not pass the assessment of the officials, so he could only be a guest in other houses.
Later, I got a recommendation and had the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven.
If His Majesty can really cancel the assessment of Jinshi by the Ministry of Officials and transfer it to His Majesty himself, in this way, there will be more talents like himself who will appear in the court of the Tang Dynasty, instead of being blocked by the so-called doorway.
"Great goodness? Let's hear it. His Majesty Li Er was intrigued by Ma Zhou's reaction.
Ma Zhou bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what happened to the ministers back then?" After a pause, he continued: "At that time, the minister studied hard for more than ten years, full of desire to learn literature and martial arts, and contribute to the court. ”
Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er understood that some things really came from the ministry.
Ma Zhou's style of acting and Ma Zhou's strategy and strategy are indeed not in line with the Confucian orthodoxy learned by those Confucian officials, but Ma Zhou's talent is what the Tang Dynasty needs, but it is what the people of the Tang Dynasty need.
His Majesty Li Er nodded and motioned for Ma Zhou to continue.
Ma Zhou arched his hand, and said again: "When the minister obtained the identity of the jinshi, did not pass the examination of the ministry, naturally could not enter the court as an official, so he did a clerical position under the hands of Bozhou Thorn Shi Daxi, it is also the minister was young and frivolous, when the minister said that the minister, not the material of the official, the minister was angry, and then hung up the crown and left, and then went to Chang'an, he was a guest in the palace of General Chang He, and got the recommendation of General Chang He, and the minister had the opportunity to meet His Majesty. ”
"I know all of your past, so this time the rules of the Spring Dynasty changed, I want to ask you, the Spring Scholars passed the official examination, and it has lasted for so many years, and the way in it must have been known to you for so many years, and I said that I want to change this way for a while, the resistance to the court can be imagined, I am asking you now, is there a complete strategy?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Ma Zhou very seriously. (To be continued.) )
