Although the imperial examination has gradually been opened in the Sui period, the Tang Dynasty is the era when the imperial examination is truly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since the system is not yet complete, there are many examples of candidates questioning the fairness of the list on the day the list is released. Du Shiyi herself has experienced it once, and when she heard the news at this moment, she didn't feel much surprised. However, when he hurriedly agreed with Guo Quan to meet at a time and went out to meet Li Chaoyin, he suddenly realized that this time it was the system that had the problem, not Chang Ke.

The edict of the Son of Heaven himself is far better than that of the Standing Branch in terms of importance, and the people who read the papers are often the Son of Heaven, and sometimes there are even prime ministers. Although he was invited by Wang Jinzhi to talk about this matter to Princess Yuzhen, he did say that there were many officials in the current section, and there might be some injustice, but it would really make such a big fuss

"Du Shiyu, let's go."

The white-haired Li Chaoyin looked old, and when he got on the horse tremblingly, Du Shiyi couldn't help but sweat for him. When he arrived at the political hall of Zhongshu Province, he found that the three prime ministers gathered together today, in addition to two Zhongshu scholars, a secretary who read the papers, and a secretary who examined the merits of the ministry, he was counted as the lowest official position. But he was the lowest official character, but he was treated with the attention of the audience. It wasn't until he really started to mention the competition for the ranking of the department this time that the two prime ministers present suddenly fought red-faced, and others ignored him.

"Just because a scholar said that Jinke is unfair, he has to re-judge, which is too child's play, and he didn't say that the court officials can't participate, since they participated, they should be treated equally, those with excellent countermeasures are selected, and those with poor countermeasures are dethroned, is it because Lantian County Lieutenant Xiao Liang is a lieutenant, obviously he has superior countermeasures, but he insists on losing the election? This is simply ridiculous" Li Yuan, who said this, was furious and directly took the case.

"What is grass? Cao Ze refers to those who have not yet come out of the field, so those who are officials should no longer apply for this section and compete with others" Du Xian did not retreat under Li Yuan's momentum, and even sneered when he was shooting, "Li Xiangguo wants to be a favor, and the trouble is also concealed, and the first three of the five people are all from background, does this give white people a chance?" For example, Wang Xiaqing, his literary talents are famous in the two Kyotos, but he ranks last among the five, doesn't it mean that those who read the papers do not look at the literary talents, but only look at the family background and official position"

This was said very seriously, Du Shiyi watched coldly, and saw that the faces of the two people who read the file were very unsightly. However, the two talkers were the prime minister, and neither of them dared to open their mouths to get involved in this dragon fight, so they could only sit there sulking. However, Li Yuan and Du Xian said a word, and after several rounds of back and forth, it seemed that he was a little anxious about this dispute, Li Yuan suddenly looked at Yuan Qianyao and said: "Yuan Weng, you can also say something, I have seen the top strategy hastily, and there is no injustice, although Wang Xiaqing is quite talented, but after all, he has not yet entered the office, and his understanding of current affairs is not as good as that of officials, which is not surprising."

"Well...... this" Yuan Qianyao habitually snorted, suddenly looked at Li Chaoyin, and asked with a smile, "What does Doctor Li think?" ”

Li Chaoyin was slightly distracted, and found that the topic was suddenly thrown in front of him, he was just stunned and said: "The imperial court has its own laws and regulations, if there is any dissatisfaction, it will be indiscriminately stated and arbitrarily reprimanded, wouldn't it be a mess of the law?" If the scholar who took the exam is dissatisfied, he should also write according to the law and make trouble in front of Luoyang Palace, and he should be punished for his sins first, and then talk about other things."

This is an obvious attitude of the lawyer, which is in line with Li Chaoyin's background in the law department. Even though Du Shiyi had always felt that this imperial doctor was a little unworthy of his name, he couldn't help nodding secretly at this time. However, he felt that Li Chaoyin's words were reasonable, and Li Yuan was very satisfied, but Du Xian was not. This hot-tempered Huangmen squire stomped his foot heavily, and then raised his voice and said: "If all those who complain about grievances must be punished first, who else in the sky dares to complain about grievances?" Dr. Li's words are too pedantic."

"The current system is so tricky, so that my ministers are red-faced, but there is no result?"

Hearing this voice, Du Shiyi, who had been just standing and not speaking, was the first to wake up. Realizing that it was the Son of Heaven who came, the others also had to come back to their senses, and there was a sound of salutation in all directions for a while. Li Longji, who suddenly came to the political affairs hall, didn't have too many words, after entering the door, he looked around at everyone and said a flat word, and waited until Yuan Qianyao invited him to sit down in the center, he looked at Du Shiyi thoughtfully and said: "Du Shiyu, others couldn't argue just now, and you have the lowest official quality here, you can talk about it." ”

"Yes." Since he was named by the Son of Heaven, Du Shiyi calmly arched his hand and said, "Bixia opened the grass to raise its own department, and the original intention was naturally to hope that there would be no more talents left in the grass, which is the meaning of seeking talents from the side." ”

"Yes, that's what I meant to be."

Seeing that Li Longji nodded happily in approval, Du Shiyi changed his words and said: "However, the system has always been an official who advances in vain, and everyone can choose to be selected, and the criteria taken are exactly the same. Since officials are not allowed to participate, if they are deposed just because the scholars are making trouble, it is a loss of the original intention of treating all the people equally, and the system is belittled to be no different from the regular department. However, considering that this subject is a grass-roots department, it is also a proper meaning to favor those white-bodied people, so Bixia can choose the ones that are really outstanding among those with slightly better countermeasures, and the rest will be dismissed. In this way, it can be warned that this kind of grass is self-proclaimed, and it does not encourage officials to compete with brown clothes. However, those who make trouble without permission should not indulge in indulgence, otherwise the dignity of the law will be lost, and they should be reprimanded, and they should not be punished for three years."

"Why do I think I've seen another Genweng?" Li Longji smiled, seeing that Yuan Qianyao glanced at Du Shiyi and smiled without saying a word, he thought about it and nodded, "However, this discussion is quite good, I don't want to see this grass raise its own subject, and those with backgrounds compete with brown clothes, and pick out the strategies of the three people with backgrounds among the five people, I want to see it for myself." ”

The prime minister's quarrel was witnessed by the Son of Heaven, if this is placed in the future generations, the parties can simply find a crack in the ground to get into, but looking at the world of the Tang Dynasty, such situations are not uncommon, Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang Shuo even almost had a full martial arts, so Li Yuan Du Xian just glanced at each other and snorted lightly and ignored anyone, while the two Zhongshu people hurriedly found the three volumes that Li Longji asked for and presented them. After reading the three policy essays at a glance and ten lines, Li Longji ordered to send the other two selected policy essays, including Wang Jin, and after carefully commenting on them, he groaned, and there was silence in the political hall for a while.

After a long while, Li Longji spoke: "Xiao Liang is the lieutenant of Lantian County, Liang Shi is the right guard Cao, and Zhang Qi is the son of Shangzhuguo. As for Zhu Guozi's candidate, I heard that Bai Shou was still difficult to release an official, so I let Zhang Qi go down, and the other two boycotted. As for the vacancies left by these two unsuccessful candidates, two more candidates will be selected from the white body to fill the vacancies. ”

Since the Son of Heaven said so, Li Yuan had no choice but to accept such a result, and Du Xian did not fight again. After dealing with such an emergency, Li Longji, who had just stopped outside the door to listen for a while, got up, suddenly stopped and glanced thoughtfully at the faces of Li Chaoyin and Du Shiyi, the old and the young, before walking away. Since the Son of Heaven is gone, the others will not stay longer, as if the words and swords just now had not happened, a large number of people surrendered to each other in a friendly manner, and for a while, only Li Yuan, the Zhongshu waiter, and the two Zhongshu people were left in the political hall.

One of the middle scholars saw that Li Yuan was a little stunned, so he had to open his mouth and called: "Li Xiangguo?

Once the son of heaven is a courtier, the Chinese book province changes hands, and the people of the Chinese book house often follow suit. However, Li Yuan is the head of the household department and the servant of the middle book and the secretary of the Ping Zhang, and the qualifications are not as good as Yao Chong, Song Jingzhang, who used to worship the prime minister, and even slightly inferior to Zhang Jiazhen, so the two Zhongshu people were personally promoted by Li Longji. At this moment, he came back to his senses, nodded and asked the two of them to go back separately, and he sat down in the empty political hall.

At least there is still Yuan Qianyao in Menxia Province who occupies the position of servant, and Zhongshu Province is now big with him, the Zhongshu Servant, but the Zhongshu Order is empty, and now he has been worshipping the prime minister for more than a year, but he has not been able to take the position of the Zhongshu Order, which shows that the Son of Heaven is not very satisfied with him. And Du Xian has also been aggressive since he visited the prime minister, and he has to go toe-to-toe with him for everything, which is really annoying. However, the two scholars did not share their hearts with him, and it was really difficult for him to be a slaughterer. Looking at the shape of the Son of Heaven today, it seems that he has a great appreciation for Du Shiyi, and he even gave marriage in person before, does he want to try to transfer people to Zhongshu Province and be a helper for himself?

From serving the imperial history in the palace on the seventh grade, and transferring from the right on the seventh grade to fill the que, this is a very reasonable top boss like Li Chaoyin, but it is much more difficult to serve than him. Besides, Du Shiyi is quite appreciated by Yuan Qianyao, maybe because of this relationship, Yuan Qianyao can still suppress Du Xian's arrogance a little

Du Shiyi naturally didn't know that his first appearance in front of Li Yuan made the prime minister have such an idea. After turning back to Yushitai, he finished taking care of the affairs he was responsible for, but he didn't go straight home, but first went to Cui's house in Yongfengli, originally intending to find out where Wang Jin and Cui Jiuniang live now, but he didn't want Du Sanniang to volunteer to lead the way himself. When he found the mansion in Shanglinfang, the north city of Luoyang, after he and Du Sanniang reported to enter the door, they heard Cui Jiuniang's loud voice as soon as they arrived at the door of the dormitory.

"Hurry up, bring me that silk, Du Jiulang happened to be absent when I got married, but I can't let him see my yellow-faced wife now."
