Chapter 336: Dark Tide (6)
Gonggong Hai's suggestion was like charcoal sent in the snow, and it drove away the cold in Li Haochen's heart at once.
He saw hope again in an instant, and it seemed that it was extremely difficult to be a good emperor.
"Yes, Grandpa Hai, your suggestion is very good. I want to open up the road to the imperial examination, so that those talented Han scholars have the opportunity to serve the imperial court. ”
"Yes, those who are truly knowledgeable should be reused by the imperial court, so that our country can prosper."
Grandpa Hai spoke impassionedly, as if he himself was the giant who saved the country and danger.
Li Haochen stood up and patted Gonggong Hai's shoulder.
"yes, yes, that's it, that's it. Father-in-law Hai, this matter has to be done immediately. ”
"But who is going to do it? At present, I don't even have a ...... of a competent subordinate."
Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and there must be a foundation.
"Father-in-law Hai, what do you say......" Li Haochen once again cast a look of help at Gonggong Hai.
Gonggong Hai had already prepared the answer, and was waiting for Li Haochen to ask him.
"Why don't you let Lord Du Zitian do this?"
"Du Zitian?"
When the name Du Zitian floated into his ears, Li Haochen felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
He remembered in a trance that this Du Zitian was Li Jingnan's friend, and in a trance remembered that this Du Zitian once looked down on him very much.
It seems that once the two met in the imperial garden, Li Haochen deliberately pretended to be stupid in front of Du Zitian in order to hide his idiot image, and was severely criticized by Du Zitian.
Say that you only know how to be idle all day long, provoke cats and dogs, and don't want to make progress.
Even if you are not as intellectually as others, you should study diligently and read reasonably.
criticized Li Haochen so that his face was flushed.
Such ruthlessness and respect for reading is truly admirable.
"What? Does the emperor think Du Zhuangyuan is inappropriate? ”
Gonggong Hai observed the changes on Li Haochen's face overnight, these changes were like signs of guidance to him, and he needed to know which road it would lead to.
"It's not inappropriate...... Li Haochen touched his chin, thoughtful.
"Your Majesty, Du Zhuangyuan is definitely the best candidate."
Li Haochen didn't expect that Gonggong Hai would strongly recommend this person.
Could it be that there is some special relationship between them......
Originally, Du Zitian was also determined to be the chief examiner of this imperial examination, but because of Gonggong Hai's words, the suspicious Li Haochen was undecided.
"Why is he the best candidate?" ”
Hai Gonggong has a good reason, "because he is an honest and selfless person, he is only eight buckets high, and he is rich in five cars." Such a person is impeccable no matter which angle he judges. Other than that...... An even more important reason is that his father was involved in an anti-corruption case. If it weren't for the prince of Jingnan arguing in front of the first emperor, I am afraid that the Du family would have been raided long ago.
Even so, the two ministers of Suo Zhongtang and Prime Minister Fang did not really let go of the Du family. They secretly bribed local officials and carried out rounds of harassment and oppression of the Du family.
Therefore, Du Zitian Zhuangyuan absolutely hates these two people very much, and because of this, he can be more sure that he can serve the emperor wholeheartedly. That's why the minion said he was the best candidate. ”
"Good!"
Li Haochen clapped his hands.
He likes Gonggong Hai's reason very much, the enemy of his enemy is his friend, since Du Zitian also hates Fang Suo and the others, then this matter is much easier.
"Okay, that's what you say! Gonggong Hai, hurry up and pass the decree, I want to appoint Du Zitian as the chief examiner of this imperial examination. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gonggong Hai was also extremely excited.
He likes Li Haochen very much, a young man full of vitality, and although it takes a little more brains to work with him, it is also worth it.
"Wait a minute."
Before Gonggong Hai walked out, he was called back by Li Haochen again.
Oops, could it be that the emperor plans to repent? That's a little too fast, isn't it......
This style of doing things is much worse than Emperor Zhao.
Gonggong Hai was apprehensive.
Li Haochen smiled at him, looking a little embarrassed.
"I was thinking about the imperial examination, but I forgot the question I wanted to ask in the first place."
Gonggong Hai leaned slightly, "Your Majesty, may I ask." ”
"Hmm." Li Haochen nodded and said, "Father-in-law Hai, I ask you." Why did I and the Queen Mother obviously agree to let Fang Suo and the others become my ministers and assist me? But at the registration ceremony, they still didn't give me face? and deliberately late, openly making a big noise in the court. ”
"This ......"
Grandpa Hai was also a little confused.
It really doesn't make sense.
In particular, Suo Zhongtang's performance was simply thinking about the law to anger Emperor Chen.
"That's probably ...... Probably ......"
"Father-in-law Hai, don't even you know what's going on?" Li Haochen's face showed a disappointed expression.
"No, it's not, please let the emperor let the minions think about it." Gonggong Hai really thought about it very seriously, and he felt a breath in his heart, that is, he had to show his face in front of Emperor Chen.
Fortunately, he has learned a lot of skills in the past few decades as a slave in the palace, so as long as he thinks about it seriously, he can really figure it out.
"Your Majesty, look at it according to the slave. This may have been a premeditated ploy by Lord Suo Zhongtang and Prime Minister Fang. One is white-faced, and the other is red-faced. ”
Li Haochen narrowed his eyes, feeling that there was some reason.
"Scheme? What kind of ploy could it be? What good do them do in doing more? Aren't they afraid of forming a bond with me? ”
There were four or five questions in a row, and Hai Gonggong was overwhelmed.
"Well...... The slave thinks that he should want to use this incident to test the emperor's temper. If you are not easy to provoke, they will definitely know how to restrain in the future, and if you are weak and timid, I am afraid that they will continue to make inches in the future. ”
"Well, you have some point." Li Haochen thought about it, and it seemed that only this answer was the most reasonable.
"Your Majesty, according to the minion, you can give Suo Zhongtang some colors appropriately. Let him know that you are not easy to mess with, so that he will have scruples in both doing and talking, and will not dare to be so bold again. ”
"Hmm......" Li Haochen once again held his cheeks and pondered.
The thoughts in his heart are exactly the opposite of Haigonggong's.
Not only was he not going to give Suo Zhongtang some color to look at, but he also continued to pretend to be timid and afraid, making Suo Zhongtang even more unscrupulous.
That's right, get used to him first, and then give him a fatal blow at the end!
Regarding this trick, Li Haochen still learned it effectively when he was in Daishan.
Fatten the pigs first and then kill them!
