"Famous Jingshi?"

Gao Zhan knew that just being able to grow fruits and vegetables in winter was enough to make Chen Feng gain an excellent reputation in front of the emperor and leave a deep impression in the emperor's mind.

But he still didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation, and he was a little puzzled.

The emperor saw the doubts in Gao Zhan's heart and said, "That's right, I deliberately publicized this matter, not only that, but I also distributed some of those fruits and vegetables to several ministers. ”

In an instant, Gao Zhan understood the emperor's intentions, but he still didn't expect that just like this, the emperor would be so serious about Chen Fengqi, and said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Chen Zishi?" ”

deliberately publicized Chen Feng's dedication to the Son of Heaven, then Lai Wanchun must know that he will also have doubts about Chen Feng's intentions, and he may be able to completely push Chen Feng to the imperial court.

The emperor chuckled lightly and rode forward, "Gao Aiqing, I haven't seen you for a long time, you might as well let me see if your horseback riding and archery skills have regressed." ”

"Yes," Gao Zhan took the bow and arrow from the soldier's hand and followed closely behind the emperor.

In addition to the palace and the training grounds for soldiers, there is also a royal hunting ground, which has crossed into the territory of Pyeongchang County outside the Beijing Division.

The sound of war horses came from the forest, and the sound of arrows piercing through the leaves was endless.

"Gao Aiqing, in your opinion, this Chen Zishi is a talent that can be created?"

Probably tired, the emperor slowed down.

The horse Gao Zhan rode was only a little slower than the emperor, and Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, the biggest gain from this southward trip is this Chen Zishi. ”

"Oh?"

The emperor was slightly shocked, "You have such a high opinion of him?" ”

"Yes, in fact, the minister thinks that this person is not a talent that can be created, but a pillar of the country, and if he can be reused by His Majesty, he will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future," Gao Zhan did not skimp on the words.

Hearing this, the emperor directly stopped his horse and looked at Gao Zhan seriously, "Don't I remember, this person is just a person, if he really has the talent you said, how can he just be a person?" ”

Deep in the forest, the sound of deer chirping came.

But it did not arouse the interest of the emperor and Gao Zhan, but the latter dismounted and knelt down to the emperor, and said solemnly: "Back to Your Majesty, the reason why he did not continue to participate in the imperial examination was because of the instructions of Lai Wanchun,"

"If he continues to enter Beijing to participate in the examination, then he will have no way to arrange Chen Zishi to Qingxi, otherwise Your Majesty will think about it, how can he not achieve the fame of Jinshi."

The emperor also dismounted, and the two of them walked forward, "In that case, are you sure that this person is available?" ”

"The minister is willing to guarantee the head of the item," Gao Zhanyi did not hesitate.

The emperor looked at him in astonishment, scrutinizing him carefully, but did not speak for a long time.

Gao Zhan suddenly took out something wrapped in paper from his body, offered it with both hands, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, this is the second gift that Chen Zishi has given to His Majesty." ”

The first gift is melons, fruits and vegetables, which have shaken the court and spread the name of the Beijing master, so what will this second gift be?

The emperor was curious in his heart, but there was not much color on his face, calmly turned out and asked, "What is this?" ”

He slowly opened it, and when he saw the snow-colored existence inside, his brows furrowed slightly.

Gao Zhan's voice then sounded: "Back to Your Majesty, this is salt." ”

"Salt?!"

The emperor's pupils surged, and in shock, he approached the thing in his hand, sniffed it vigorously, and confirmed that it was correct.

Gao Zhan looked at the emperor's stiff face, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, when I saw it at the time, it was much more exaggerated than Your Majesty." ”

After being stunned, the emperor tried to taste a little, but as a result, he had a feeling of joy falling from the sky, looked at Gao Zhan in shock and asked, "You mean, the salt that tastes so pure and delicate as snow is made by that Chen Zishi?" ”

"Exactly!" Gao Zhan said very seriously: "He knew that salt was a thing that benefited the country and the people, so it took many years of hard work to improve the method of salt making, and specially dedicated the method of salt making to the imperial court. ”

As he spoke, Gao Zhan took out a copy of the fold and said, "This is Chen Zishi's fold, which describes the steps and procedures of the new salt making method, please take a look at it." ”

The emperor still did not recover from the shock, and after taking the recital, such a shock continued to extend, continuing to hit his mind, and he couldn't believe that there was such a strange person.

There was a breeze in the forest with the fragrance of various flowers, impacting the emperor's snort.

There were wild beasts passing not far away, but they did not change the gaze of His Majesty the Emperor in the slightest.

His eyes kept falling on the folds, brighter and brighter.

I don't know how long it took for the emperor to close the fold violently, with a smile on his cheeks, "Haha, it seems that as you said, this Chen Zishi is indeed a talent in a small place such as Qingxi, and he can think of such a strategy to rejuvenate the country, and he has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth." ”

Gao Zhan stood up at the emperor's signal, he knew that the emperor would definitely be completely impressed by Chen Feng after seeing it, but he still didn't expect the emperor's evaluation of Chen Feng to be so high.

"Gao Aiqing, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Gao Zhan knew that the emperor had already intended to promote Chen Feng.

"Back to Your Majesty, Chen Zishi is indeed a rare capable minister."

"Hmm,"

The emperor hugged the fold and said: "In your opinion, this person is a rare talent whether it is governing the people or governing the government, since there is a new method of salt making, it must be popularized as soon as possible, it just so happens that I am very short of money now,"

"What I mean is that this Chen Zishi will be transferred to the Jianbei Salt Class Lifting Division, and first take Jianbei as a pilot to preside over the promotion of the new salt making method, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Gao Zhan was speechless in surprise for a long time.

The Emperor didn't seem to feel anything wrong, and continued: "If he can handle this matter well, I will transfer him to the household department in the future and take charge of the salt affairs of the world. ”

Hiss!

Gao Zhan almost gasped, and reminded the emperor in shock: "Your Majesty, the promotion is from the fifth grade, and it is also the salt chief of Jianbei Province, I am afraid it is not appropriate to arrange it in this way." ”

"What's wrong?"

The emperor flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "As long as you are a talented person, I will never be promoted." ”

Gao Zhan hurriedly persuaded: "But Your Majesty, it has only been a year since Chen Zishi entered the official career, and he is only from a person's background. ”

"So what?"

The emperor showed willfulness and stubbornness in line with his age, and said: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dares to directly promote Wei Qing, who was born as a slave, to the center of the imperial court, what is it for me to do this, but this salt class promotion does seem to be a little inappropriate,"

"Chen Zishi also offered the method of greenhouse planting before, if he just promotes, it is not easy to take care of this matter, it is better to directly transfer to the political envoy department, and have an overview of two major events, Gao Aiqing, what do you think?"

Gao Zhan was already dumbfounded, he knew that the emperor standing in front of him would often behave very willfully in promoting officials, for example, he himself was a living example.

The emperor valued ability rather than seniority, but the imperial court's assessment of officials' qualifications was an extremely important part.

Therefore, there are often contradictions between the emperor and the courtiers, and if the emperor does this now, then he dares to guarantee that there will be chickens and dogs in the court in the coming days.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

Gao Zhan was already a little scared in his heart, if Chen Feng really ascended to the sky in one step, then he himself would also be besieged by many ministers, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, you listen to the ministers, let's not talk about Chen Zishi's background, and his qualifications are still shallow,"

"Even Your Majesty, your great cause of cutting the feudal domain is now inseparable from this person, Your Majesty may wish to listen to the minister's method of both perfections, which can not only ensure that the two major events are carried out in an orderly manner, but also ensure that the great cause of cutting the feudal domain is carried out in an orderly manner."
