Today, Yin Dashuai delayed some time in the Shuai's Mansion, and he came later than scheduled.

But the emperor did not have half a word of reproach, but only consolation and encouragement.

The two talked for a few hours.

With the first rooster crow, the ministers who came to the early dynasty waited outside the main hall.

Although the New Year has passed, the weather is still very cold.

The ministers came here in the dark and against the cold wind, although the military attaché did not care, but the civil official was numb from the cold.

The ministers gathered in twos and threes, chatting with acquaintances.

You can tell his origin from his voice, the military attaché has a loud voice, while the civil official has a very low voice, as if he lacks confidence.

After a while, there was gradually some commotion among the ministers.

Someone looked at the sky, and saw that there was already a faint hint of whiteness in the east.

It's the New Year's moon now, and it's usually dark when the dynasty is dispersed.

What's going on today, why is it that at this time, the emperor hasn't come to the court?

In the anticipation of everyone, I finally heard the eunuch scream: "The emperor has arrived-"

The ministers hurriedly returned to their places, waited for the emperor to arrive, and then saluted together.

When the emperor asked the ministers to calm down, the ministers got up and saw something strange.

In the court, the obvious formations on the left and right sides are different.

The ones on the right are all military generals, each of whom occupies a large area and looks sparse.

On the left are officials, and the strange thing is that the front half is the same as the right, sparsely staffed, but the back half is densely packed with a bunch of officials.

The back half of the procession on the left, which occupies about a quarter of the front of the hall, is crowded with more than half of the officials.

And the military generals of Wenchen are obviously accustomed to this kind of stationing.

The officials on the left, the front are all military attachés, and only a few people, including the prime minister, are civilian officials.

The densely packed below are ordinary civil officials.

Although some people's official positions are not low, they are always dwarves because they have no martial arts.

This is true of every country in this world.

A military attache is not a general, but a military officer in a civilian position.

Because of the noble status of the warrior, all important positions are held by the warrior as the chief, and then a civil official is set up below.

The emperor slowly spoke, and said, "The early dynasty is a little late, so let Zhuqing wait for a long time." ”

"Guy had a night talk with Yin Qing last night, so far he will rest. ”

In front of the palace, there were originally some ministers who were thinking about whether to admonish them, but when they heard the word "Yin Qing", they immediately became honest.

Who else can Yin Qing be, naturally Yin Dashuai!

Yin Dashuai chatted with the emperor, that is, it was impossible to hang them for a day.

Next, the ministers honestly began to play according to the book.

Prime Minister Yi Hetu suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the New Year has passed, and the imperial examination is imminent." ”

"In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for civil servants everywhere. ”

The minister suggested that this year, expand the scale of the document and strengthen the review of the document review. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Hmm, what do other Aiqing think about this matter?"

Gao Zhen, the head of the household, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is true, but it is also a matter of points. ”

"You see, the army stationed on the border needs food, and Yin Dashuai will soon want to send food and salary to the north, and the martial arts are about to be raised, and it is not small. ”

"If we expand the scale of the cultural examination at this juncture, our household department will not be able to come up with the money. ”

The prime minister frowned and said, "Lord Gao, this selection of talents, but it is an important work of the country, how can it be delayed because of money?"

Gao Zhen said nonchalantly: "Gong Yi, the foundation of this country, the first is the cultivation of warriors, and the second is the construction of the military. ”

"Although the selection of civil servants is also important, after all, it is necessary to make way for both. ”

Zheng Fan, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Actually, I think the top priority is to change the thinking of the literati. ”

"In fact, although the number of literati is not much, it is not less than that of martial artists. ”

"The point is that some literati have a poor and sour temper, and they are reluctant to let them do some work. ”

The chief reprimanded them twice, "Hey, then I can't stand it, so I will say something that I don't have." ”

He shook his head again and again, clearly disappointed.

The prime minister's face was a little embarrassed.

What Zheng Fan said is true, but it is not as simple as he said.

The reason why the literati complained was because the official positions were all held by the warriors, and the literati were busy before and after, but they were all given credit to the warriors.

This, of course, will cause grievances among the literati.

However, the prime minister can't say this, because it often involves the foundation of the country.

After arguing in the court for a while, the household department finally reluctantly agreed to embezzle a small amount of money to make this year's Wenju more or less presentable.

The prime minister said to the Ministry of Rites uneasily: "Lord Liu, please bother a lot about this article!"

Qinglinhou nodded and said, "Prime minister, don't worry, this money will be used where it should be used." ”

The prime minister nodded, and the matter was over.

Qinglin Hou stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, when it comes to talents. ”

"The minister recently met a genius, and if he wants to recommend it to the emperor, he will definitely be beneficial to the society. ”

"Oh. The emperor was interested, because he knew that the Marquis of Qinglin had always been calm and not a talker.

The emperor said: "Tell me." ”

Qinglin Hou said: "Those who have a son Yin Ming, have the posture of Luan Feng Lingyun, and use it for the sake of the community!"

Ooh!

This time it was really a sideways glance from the ministers, what kind of person is this, who deserves such a high evaluation.

Could it be that another young genius is going to rise again, just like when Yin Dashuai was there?

The emperor smiled and said, "Oh, is that really the case?"

"Who is he, what martial arts is he proficient in, and what is he cultivating now?"

A look of embarrassment flashed on Qinglin Hou's face, knowing that everyone must have misunderstood.

But he had to brag for Yin Ming first, otherwise he was afraid that the emperor would not even be interested in listening to it.

Qinglin Hou stubbornly said: "This son is cultivating Wendao, and now he is a scribe, that is, a warrior." ”

Before Qinglin Hou finished speaking, there was already laughter in the court.

No way, Qinglinhou's joke is simply too funny and unexpected.

Hubu Shangshu Gao Zhen whispered: "Lao Liu, you are not small!"

"This early morning court actually dared to make the emperor happy, I can be regarded as convincing you. ”

Although the other ministers had different ideas, it was obvious that none of them took Qinglinhou's words seriously.

In their opinion, Qinglin Hou is not a fool, and of course he will not really recommend a lowly literati in the court.

The emperor's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Liu Qing, even if it's a joke, there must be a limit." ”

This kind of joke is just said in private, and Mo brought it to the morning court. ”

Seeing that the emperor was displeased, the ministers hurriedly restrained their smiles, and the court returned to silence.

Qinglin Hou endured the embarrassment and said, "Ahem, the emperor, what the minister said is true." ”
