PS: Happy Goddess Day, everyone!

At the court meeting the next morning, before dawn, the eastern fish belly had just turned white, and the ministers had already gathered outside the court.

Everyone knows more or less about the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and most of them still have the mentality of playing soy sauce for today's court meeting.

Why? Because the establishment of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate is definitely not an easy task.

The grassland peoples in the north are very repulsive to the Han people, which will lead to the biggest hidden danger of the Beiting Protectorate in the future, which comes from the inside, no, there have been several bloodsheds, those herdsmen who resist pick up the knife is the soldier, put down the knife and arrow is the people, and the whole people are soldiers. How do you discipline? There is no way to discipline it!

What's more, the north is not of much significance to the current Tang Dynasty, but the territory is too long, too barren, and easy to be taken advantage of by foreign enemies, and a large number of additional men and horses need to be sent to guard, and the investment is too large, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, many officials are not optimistic about the establishment of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, believing that Li Shimin's convening of the court meeting for this matter may not be to solve the problem of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, but to discuss whether there is a need for the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

Before the early dynasty began, the ministers discussed a lot about it, and they were all discussing the gains and losses of the establishment of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

While the ministers were arguing with each other, in some inconspicuous corner, a young man ....... Listless discount yawn.

"Ha~" A big yawn, Chen Fei's eyes were full of. There is no way, his family lives in the suburbs, in order to catch up with the morning court, he has to get up an hour earlier than others, plus he wrote a concert yesterday and worked overtime in the middle of the night, so he can't be sleepy.

"Huh? Zicheng? Why are you here? When Chen Fei was yawning, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside him, wiped away his tears and looked at it, Li Zhizheng ran towards him.

"Your Highness... Ha~ Good morning, Your Highness. ”

"Uh... Early... Good morning," Li Zhi touched his head, looked Chen Fei up and down curiously, and then asked, "Zicheng, has your father promoted you?" Why did you come to the DPRK today? ”

When it came to the promotion, Chen Fei rolled his eyes a few times, if it was said that doing chores could be regarded as promotion, then he... It's really a promotion.

"I have something to do today, and Your Majesty allows me to go to court temporarily."

"Oh." Li Zhi nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Father asked you to go to the court, it won't be for the sake of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, right?" Now the ministers of the court are arguing about this, and I think my father is also feeling a headache about it. ”

"The ministers of the court?" Chen Fei looked around and found that the ministers were indeed discussing something in a low voice, so he quietly poked Li Zhi's arm and whispered, "What is the direction of the wind in the middle of the court now?" Do you support more of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, or are you more opposed? ”

Li Zhi also responded to Chen Fei in a low voice: "It's hard to say, the people who support and oppose the DPRK and China are half each." Most of the opponents were conservative old stubborns, and they felt that the establishment of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate would make the imperial court unable to make ends meet, so they did not agree. ”

"Oh." Chen Fei nodded, and sighed in his heart: "It seems that today's court meeting is not simple!" ”

After a while, a eunuch loudly announced his entry into the court. The ministers lined up and walked into the court in order.

Because Li Zhi was the prince, he was at the forefront, tied with Li Tai. And Chen Fei's identity is a little embarrassing, in terms of official position, he has no qualifications to go to the court, and in terms of title, he was named a casual waiter and has no real power, therefore... He also has no qualifications to go to court, so he can only stand last.

As for whether to stand at the end of the civil queue or the last in the duke's line... Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and decided to stand at the end of the civil official queue. This way it can be next to the gate, and small movements are not easy to detect. Yawning or something, it's not easy to be seen.......

After the ministers took their positions, the eunuchs loudly proclaimed, "The saints are here!" Mountain Hoo! ”

So the ministers chanted, "Long live my emperor, long live." After three consecutive shouts, Chen Fei followed behind the minister to respond.

Li Shimin walked to the dragon chair, and when he turned to face the courtiers, his eyes kept shooting, as if he was looking for something. When he turned his eyes around and found a figure at the back of the court, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and everyone was flattened, and he sat on the dragon chair with his ass, signaling the early dynasty to start.

As usual, the officials first reported their work, and the big and small affairs were played in court. Most of them are trivial things, even if they are not trivial things, they have little to do with Chen Fei, he began to feel sleepy after listening to them for a while, and he dozed off at the back of the standing column.

Wait until the ministers have finished their reports and discussed them. Li Shimin finally mentioned the matter of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate again.

Although a large area of territory in the north was included in the Tang Dynasty, the people's hearts did not return, and there was still internal turmoil. Suppression by force is not an option, and the imperial court wants a long-term and stable rule, not a series of wars. Therefore, military repression is absolutely ineffective, and on the contrary, it is easy to cause a series of evil consequences.

Since military suppression is not possible, and there is often chaos within the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, whether to continue to establish the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate or to support a puppet regime as before has become the focus of today's discussion.

Well, at least that's what most of the courtiers thought.

How do you know that Li Shimin did not play his cards according to common sense, and after proposing to discuss the protection of the Beiting Mansion, he actually ordered a person that no one could think of - Chen Fei.

"Chen Fei, read your recital to the ministers."

"Yes!" Chen Fei met the strange eyes of the ministers, walked to the middle with a thick notebook in his hand, and slowly spread out the notebook, Chen Fei sighed helplessly, and looked at Li Shimin as if asking for help - the notebook was written too much, and his hands couldn't drag it down after spreading it out.......

Li Shimin assigned a eunuch to assist Chen Fei in dragging the notebook, and Chen Fei slowly narrated his thoughts to the ministers in front of the "fruits of a night's labor".

The content written in the transcript is roughly the same as what he said to Li Shimin yesterday, first describing the value and necessity of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and then discussing it, combined with the local situation, describing the management methods.

When Chen Fei mentioned that the most basic officials of the local herdsmen should "manage their own people", some ministers were no longer calm, did not care about etiquette, and whispered quietly.

When Chen Fei finally mentioned opening the Beiting Protectorate to the herdsmen and reducing the difficulty of their exams, the ministers were not discussing, but shocked!

That's right, it's shock!

What did the imperial examination mean in the eyes of these ministers? It means all the glory and journey of the world's readers. Chen Fei actually proposed to open the imperial examination to those barbarian peoples? Isn't it an insult to the statement of the Sage of Confucius? What's even more excessive is that if you open the imperial examination to them, you will open the imperial examination, and you actually want to reduce the difficulty of their examination, you ...... Didn't you take the wrong medicine? Do you want to be the enemy of the world's readers?
