The third grandson Kaiji looked at Wang Ping'an and said with a smile! , "Wang Vice Feng is an official and upright. The real mouth palace is commendable! ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "The eldest grandson praises falsely, and the lower officials really dare not be the official!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed twice and said, "Deserve it, deserve it." General Wei Chi has a good relationship with you, not only your elders, but also the official titles are greater than yours. In this capacity. He begged you, just asking for two places in the Ming Jing Department, and you still refused, and you had to fight with him, if this can't be praised, then what is worthy of praise? ”

After praising Wang Ping'an, the eldest grandson Wuji turned around and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, although the deputy chief of the king is impartial, but by testing this matter, he can also make a little bit of a sigh Li Shimin hummed, turned his head to look at his prince, and asked: "Zhi'er, what can you see through this matter, do you know?"

It's all arranged in advance, how to say that the eldest grandson Wuji has already taught Li Zhi. Li Zhi immediately answered, he said: "Although the chief examiner and deputy examiner of the marking papers are upright, if they are always disturbed by others, and through various means, they want them to cheat for personal gain, but they can't prevent it. If the means are vicious, threats and temptations, the three examiners are careless for a while and do something negligent, then the scientific examination will lose its fairness and will lose the heart of the world's scholars. small

Li Shimin hummed again, nodded, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked, "Wuji, what do you say, is the problem that Zhi'er sees the same as what you see?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked surprised and delighted, clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise." Lao Chen just thought that he shouldn't let the examiners worry about foreign affairs, but he didn't expect to lose the heart of the world's scholars because of this. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thought more deeply than the old minister, and the old minister admired it incomparably

The eldest grandson is a sycophant, how can the rest of the ministers not go along with it? In an instant, the city tower was full of voices singing praises of virtue, and they all praised the prince for his wisdom, foresight, and unparalleled in the world.

Li Shimin touched his beard, smiled and listened for a while, and when the sound of sycophants paused, he said: "Zhi'er is indeed a bit far-sighted, but the monarchs can't praise him like this, it will make him fluttering."

The sound of sycophants sounded again, after a slight pause. While praising the prince's foresight, the ministers also praised the emperor for his foresight, teaching the prince well, preventing trouble before it happens, and not letting the prince flutter."

This time, Li Shimin didn't plan to listen to it more. For him, this kind of low-level sycophant no longer makes much sense. He waved his hand. motioned to the hundred officials to be quiet and asked, "Then how can we not let the examiners be disturbed?" Zhi'er, do you have a good idea? ”

Li Zhi cleared his throat and said, "Erchen foolishly thinks that if you want the examiners to be no longer disturbed, why don't you leave Chang'an and go out of the city to mark the papers?" As long as you leave the land of right and wrong, there will naturally be no upper body of right and wrong! ”

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Leaving Chang'an to mark the papers, there is no precedent for this, but it sounds like your idea is quite reasonable, stay away from right and wrong, and naturally you can concentrate on marking the exam papers."

Li Shimin is old, although he is not very lax about state affairs, but for personal enjoyment, he has some expectations. Last time he went to the deception mountain to soak in the hot springs, it was very comfortable when he soaked. But after soaking, he regretted it, afraid that the people would say that he was greedy for pleasure, so he quickly wrote an article to explain, saying that he had too many old diseases, and only soaking in the hot springs could relieve the pain.

But in addition to the identity of the emperor, from the identity of an old man alone, Li Shimin still wants to go to the hot springs and let himself have a good rest. Of course, on the bright side, you must not do anything like this. For the reason, what's the matter, the reason has he already used it once, and he will be embarrassed to use it again.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly arranged it in advance, and he asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very good idea. But where do the examiners go to mark the papers? Even if they leave Chang'an and go to other states and counties, they will still encounter the same problems, and there will be people who will disturb them and make them play favoritism. As he spoke, he glanced back at the minister next to him.

Fang Xuanling was the first to speak up and said, "Yes, this place is really hard to find, I can't find it!" ”

Zhu Suiliang himself is the chief examiner, and he is embarrassed to come up with ideas, but he still said: "What's the matter." Places are really hard to find, hard to find! ”

Ma Zhou touched his beard, his face was full of contemplation, shook his head vigorously, and said, "It's hard to find, I can't think of where to go." ”

When the ministers saw this, they got it, and the prime ministers said that it was difficult to find, if they said a place, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that they were more powerful than the prime ministers, which was absolutely impossible, it was too offended! So, there was a contemplative expression on the top of the castle tower, and everyone was looking for that place!

Li Shimin turned to the side and asked, "Zhi'er, tell me, where is it more appropriate?" ”

Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Erchen knows that there is a place, which is not too far from Chang'an, and the place is quiet, few people disturb it, and it can be used by the examiners to review the exam papers!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead, his face full of surprise and joy, and the ministers were also surprised and delighted, and asked in unison, "Where is that."

The mouth asked so, but everyone in the ministers thought: "It should be the palace of Yanshan, not far away, the place is quiet, except there, where is there such a place near Chang'an." ”

Li Shimin said: "Zhi'er, where are you talking about?" ”

Li Zhidao: "It is the Tangquan Palace that goes over the mountain, where it is usually uninhabited, and it is definitely a good place to batch papers." ”

"It's a good place!" The ministers praised in unison, and everyone felt that they were prescient and had guessed correctly.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, then wait until the department opens." The examiners will go there and mark the papers! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that just by doing this, there is fairness." But from the aspect of attaching importance to the world's scholars, it seems that it is not enough, as long as we respect the scholars and attach importance to them, so that more scholars can come to take the examination, so that the country can select more talents from them to serve the country! ”

The heroes of the world, enter my control! If you want more scholars to enter the palm of the emperor's hand, of course, you must first let the scholars feel that entering the palm of the emperor's hand is a great thing, and it is not an ordinary person, you can get into it if you want to!

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Not bad." And so it is. Scholars who studied for exams and served the imperial court should be respected. ”

Ma Zhou and Fang Xuanling said together: "If you want to respect the scholars, you should start from the emperor, if you don't review the test papers this time, please ask the emperor to preside over it personally!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling also said: "If the ceremony can be presided over by the emperor himself, the scholars of the world will know about it, and they will feel the grace of God." When the next course starts, the number of scholars who come to take the exam will definitely increase greatly! ”

When the ministers heard this, they all sighed in their hearts, they understood, and if they didn't understand, everyone should not be confused! The ministers hurriedly seconded the proposal, saying that the matter should be presided over by the emperor himself, which can perfectly express the importance of the court to the scholars, and make the scholars grateful in their hearts!

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Everyone says, I can't be idle when the sycophants shoot the mountain, I want to shoot everyone together." ”

He said loudly: "Weichen thinks that for the sake of the world and the scholars, the emperor should work hard, and you must not chill the hearts of the scholars in the world!" On behalf of the world's scholars, Weichen implored the emperor to preside over the approval of the scholars and select the virtuous for the country! If he hadn't been able to squeeze out his tears, he would have had to kneel down and weep bitterly, and he would have tried his best to be a loyal servant.

The ministers all looked at Wang Ping'an and thought, "According to what you say, it is a sin for the emperor not to go to the hot springs!" They immediately slapped the sycophants louder, and even some people had already left the table, knelt down for Li Shimin, and kowtowed vigorously, as if the emperor would not go to the hot springs again, then the Tang Dynasty would die!

Since everything has been said about this, as a generation of Ming Jun, Li Shimin has to obey the will of the government and the opposition, and frowned: "In this way, then the United will personally preside over it." However, if Chang'an is separated, then everything in the court

The eldest grandson Wuji said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, for the sake of the world, for the sake of the country, please also work hard, when the emperor leaves Beijing, you will be in charge of the government!" ”

Li Zhi's face was embarrassed, and he said to Li Shimin: "My son is willing to share his father's worries, but he is afraid."

The eldest grandson Wuji said in a louder voice: "The old minister thinks that the opening of the branch is to select good ministers for the country, and the prince stays in Beijing to also hand in an examination paper to the emperor, but whether this examination paper is satisfactory is not decided by the emperor, but by the people of the world.

Wang Ping'an shouted with her husband: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely present an examination paper for the emperor that satisfies the people of the world!" ”

The ministers hurriedly got up, knelt down together, and said in unison: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will live up to expectations!" ”

Li Shimin hummed and said: "In this way, the prime ministers of the provinces will also go over the mountain with the union, leaving only the prince alone to guard Chang'an, so that he can see his ability!" ”

"The emperor is wise!" The ministers shouted in unison.

Turning over the mountain is not far from here, what is happening here in Chang'an, every day the fast horse transmits the official documents, and there is nothing to delay at all. In fact, it was the emperor who took the test for the prince, showed it to the people of the world, and then the emperor himself answered the questionnaire for the prince, "It's really pitiful for the parents of the world, and it's really tiring to be a father like this!"

The emperor succeeded in finding a reason to enjoy himself, and the crown prince was able to "exercise" himself. Li Zhi was really happy in his heart, he didn't have a strong desire for power, but for Wu Meiniang, his desire was great.

As soon as he thought of being able to relive his dream with Wu Meiniang, his blood immediately boiled.

Wang Ping'an looked at Li Zhi and thought, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you can take it easy." Stay in Beijing by yourself, but take care of yourself, don't damage your body. Also, when I come back, don't make Wu Meiniang's belly bigger, in case you get a small treatment, I can't help you, you can find a place to cry yourself! ”
