The importance of the Tang Dynasty scientific expedition, Li Qinzai may be more aware than Li Zhi and Empress Wu.

He knew how difficult it was to carry out and how much pressure he had to face, and the Li Zhi couple were challenging the gate-valve politics that had been formed since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

For Li Zhi and his wife, the implementation of scientific research is to consolidate the imperial power, but Li Qinzai understands better that scientific research is the hope of the children of the poor family, once successful, its influence will continue for a thousand years, until more than a thousand years later, in modern times, scientific research is still the biggest way for the poor to cross the class.

This is a glimmer of life left by the Heavenly Dao to ordinary people, because it is relatively fair to anyone.

Not to mention hypocritical words such as loyalty to the monarch and serving the country, scientific research is a thousand-year-old achievement that affects future generations, and based on this alone, Li Qinzai must also stand on the same front as Li Zhi.

However, the old man in front of him obviously didn't understand this.

As the head of the family, he is obviously contrary to Li Zhi's ideas.

What he advocates is still gate valve politics, and the gate valve elite assists the Son of Heaven to govern the world, which is the universal value of today's family gate valve.

As for those children of poor families, they are just dog meat that can't be put on the table, they have a bad background, they don't have a good birth, and they don't have a pure bloodline, this is the original sin, and they are not qualified to be officials.

Therefore, Cui Linqian didn't care about asking Li Qinzai for a quota and seeking fame for the children of the clan.

In his opinion, whether or not to give this fame is nothing more than a matter of Li Qinzai's words, and the scientific examination has no seriousness in Cui Linqian's eyes, but it is just a resource that can pull the relationship through the back door at any time.

Li Qinzai could not discuss any values with his father-in-law, let alone persuade him to agree with the scientific examination system, because the scientific examination system and the family have always been hostile, and it is impossible for Li Qinzai to get the head of a family to agree with it.

Favors come to the door, and Li Qinzai is thinking about how to deal with the past.

"If the father-in-law wants to seek fame for the children of the clan, why should he participate in the scientific examination? Nowadays, the family can still recommend talents to the imperial court, and the father-in-law only needs to repair one book, and the Son of Heaven will naturally appoint two young and handsome ones. Li Qinzai said with a smile.

Cui Linqian smiled, shook his head and said, "No, no, it's not that simple." For example, today's son doesn't treat the family very well, and since the eldest grandson Wuji was deposed, the family gate valve has been greatly suppressed. ”

"The talents recommended by the major families have gradually not been valued by the Son of Heaven, and even if they are appointed, they are only given a painless official position, and they waste their time in that position and do nothing."

"The people that the Son of Heaven attaches importance to now are the people who have been selected by the scientific examination, and the old man hopes that these two descendants of the clan will be hired by the scientific examination, and the official positions they have awarded will have a future in the future."

Li Qinzai understood when he heard it, and his mood became heavier.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became a little stagnant, Cui Linqian turned sideways and smiled: "Is there anything difficult about the virtuous son-in-law?" ”

Li Qinzai didn't answer yet, but Cui Jie said unceremoniously: "Dad, you have to let your husband consider the errand that the Son of Heaven handed over to your husband, and there is no reason to let your husband agree in person." ”

Cui Linqian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "The female eldest is not a mother, if this is the case, this is biased towards the husband's family." ”

…………

The banquet dispersed, and Cui Jie arranged for Cui Linqian and the two cousins to stay.

At night, Li Qinzai and Cui Jie lay on the bed, Cui Jie's belly was big and she could only lie on her side, while Li Qinzai gently massaged her calves.

Due to pregnancy, Cui Jie's figure is much rounder, her calves are also a little swollen, and she is too tired to walk a few steps, Li Qinzai massages her every night.

Seeing Li Qinzai's frowning, Cui Jie said cautiously: "Husband, did your father's request make you embarrassed?" ”

Li Qinzai smiled reluctantly and said, "Two places are not a big deal, but ...... The rules are broken, and I won't be able to do things in the future. ”

After a pause, Li Qinzai explained: "It's not for your Cui family, you have also seen it, recently I have closed the door to thank customers, and what I am afraid of is that people ask for favors, but I can't turn him away when my father comes, but his request is really ......."

Cui Jie thought for a while and said, "It's inconvenient for the husband to refuse, why don't you let the concubine go and tell her father?" I'm his daughter, and I can say some things bluntly, and I believe my father will understand. ”

Li Qinzai shook his head: "You and I are husband and wife, your refusal is no different from my refusal, your father will be uncomfortable after all, and it will be embarrassing for the two families to come and go in the future, I don't want you to be caught in the middle and be embarrassed." ”

Cui Jie thought for a while and said, "Maybe the two cousins of the concubine are really proficient in arithmetic?" If this is the case, let them participate in the scientific expedition, and the husband does not have to be embarrassed, just treat them equally. ”

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly, the truth is more difficult to hear, and it is difficult to say.

If those two really had this ability, Cui Linqian would not have taken them to the door to ask for favors, and those who have the ability have always been confident.

According to Cui Linqian, the two began to study arithmetic at the age of sixteen, and they only studied for three years, what can they learn in three years? At best, it's about the same level as Li Sujie.

changed the progress of the previous life, from the first grade of primary school to learn mathematics, until graduation from college, every year there is new knowledge to learn, adding up to at least ten years of hard study, can only learn a skin, into the society is an assembly line barely qualified products.

Unless the two descendants surnamed Cui are the same as Princess Xuancheng, they are amazing geniuses, otherwise they can't have much ability after only three years of study, and they are only crushed when they enter the examination room, so why did Cui Linqian take the initiative to find the door?

Li Qinzai was silent, Cui Jie hugged his arm distressedly, and said softly: "Husband, the concubine will always stand with you, let the concubine try it tomorrow, maybe you can persuade the two cousins to quit." ”

…………

Early the next morning, Cui Jie called Cui Ling and Cui Rui's two cousins out of the door with a big belly, and said that she would take them to visit Ganjingzhuang, and the three of them went out surrounded by countless pieces and old women.

Cui Jie went straight to the school when she went out, Cui Ling and Cui Rui followed her in confusion, seeing Cui Jie's legs and feet, the two stepped forward to support one left and one right, but were pushed away by Cui Jie.

The school is Li Qinzai's territory, Cui Jie comes very little, she has always been sensible, and she rarely gets involved in men's careers.

The little bastards were playing in the playground, and when they saw Cui Jie coming in, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, calling them "Master".

Cui Jie greeted everyone with a smile, and then beckoned Li Sujie over.

"Take two sets of test papers, if it's a little more difficult, find a sheltered corner and set up two tables, and take the test papers to my two cousins."

Li Sujie immediately carried it out, and soon set up two low tables in the corner of the playground, on which there were test papers and pen and ink.

Cui Ling and Cui Rui's faces suddenly became a little ugly.

Cui Ling looked at Cui Jie and said, "Sister, you don't have to be like this, right?" ”

Cui Jie pointed to the low table without looking back, and said: "You two sit down, do a good job, my father said that you are the most top-notch children of the Cui family, I want to know how top-notch you are, if you can't do it, don't embarrass the Cui family, let alone make it difficult for my husband, get out of the way." ”
