Chapter 159 Qin Hao elects officials
Tai Chi Hall.
A table of battle reports were spread out in front of Li Er, and he was writing and drawing on the map behind him from time to time and studying something.
The front troops had already fought against the Turks, which made the emperor who had experienced many battles a little nervous. He had always led the way in pacifying the world, and even made many vanguards and cut off the rear. This was his first time in charge of the rear, but he fought this kind of national war.
If it weren't for his unstable throne, he would have been in charge of the army in person. Now he is far away in Chang'an, and the war report he received was as fast as three days ago. The war on the front line was unpredictable. He dared not command anything except a little guiding opinion on the overall situation. This passive feeling of waiting for the judgment of fate almost drove him crazy.
"Master, take a break."
Li Er turned around and found that it was Empress Changsun. He sighed with red eyes: "It's Guanyin maid. I also know that this is useless, but I just can't help it."
"Your Majesty, you are so nervous. Look at your eyes, your eyes are red. Why not accompany you to Furong Garden and relax,"
Li Er smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood."
"Then, why don't you go hunting."
Li Er shook his head and said, "I'm not in the mood, and I've been fighting eleven times this month. If I fight again, then Wei Zheng should give advice again, and I'm upset him."
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "When I talk about Wei Zheng, I think of his disciple. The horse hoof gold I saved up with frugality was sent back by him. I have always remembered it. Recently, he has been rumored in the palace that he said that it was a child prodigy. I heard that even Pei Ji surrendered to him and took the initiative to give up half of the Sikong Mansion."
Li Er smiled and said, "That boy, well, he is indeed capable. Pei Ji is an old fox after all. This time he smelled it. I heard that even the white jade lion left by Pei Ju was sent out. As his founding prime minister, he bowed to a mere child. Haha, this kind of mind is really good. If he had such a mind back then, maybe there would be no such trouble."
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "The emperor said this, I am even more curious. I heard that this child has a very good relationship with Cheng Qian. I have never seen him."
Li Shimin was stunned and thought for a while and said, "Today is the day when this little brat is selected. The Ministry of Personnel has been preparing for this day for a long time. I heard that all the Jinshis in the capital are thinking about joining this boy's door. This boy always thinks differently from others. I don't know what trouble he is going to do with the official he chooses. Why don't we go out in casual clothes and go to the Ministry of Personnel to see this boy?"
Empress Changsun was overjoyed. She was not interested in how Qin Hao chose an official, but it was also good to pull Li Er, who was almost crazy, to relax. Besides, Qin Hao had such a good relationship with Li Chengqian after all, so she really wanted to see who she was.
…………
During the Tang Dynasty, there were usually two ways to become an official: scientific research and attendance.
Suwei basically means the second generation of officials, and its main direction in the future is to go to the battlefield to fight. The biggest hope for civilians or children from poor families is to fight scientific examinations. Although the scientific examinations at this time are far from perfect after the Song Dynasty, the most unpleasant thing is that they cannot become officials immediately after passing the imperial examinations. The Ministry of Personnel also has an internal assessment. After passing the assessment, it depends on when the vacancy will be made and when will you reward you with one or half positions.
At this time, a large group of scholars who had either passed the Jinshi or the Mingjing were all wearing single clothes, queuing with their arms around, trembling in the cold wind. Their faces were ashen with cold wind, but their eyes were hot, but their hearts were hot.
Today is the famous young wise man Qin Hao. He came to the Ministry of Personnel to select officials. Although there were many shortcomings this time, there were too many wolves and few meats. The blind man could see that with this master, the future would be bright. All the scholars who had not had time to fill the gaps in the past three years came to queue up in the morning. There were even an old Jinshi who had been riding a horse from other places for a day and a night to arrive at the capital, just to meet Qin Hao, as if he would definitely pass the interview and leaping through the dragon gate from now on.
After waiting for a long time, Qin Hao arrived late on his horse. After getting off the horse, he saw that everyone was obviously stunned. He looked at their single clothes, then at their thick mink fur, and reached out to light a slight snowflake on the ground.
It’s nothing wrong. It’s winter now, what’s going on with these people?
He didn't know that the most important thing in the selection of officials in the Tang Dynasty was appearance, and no one knew who said that Qin Hao was a talented man with literary talent. Of course, he also liked the same kind of talent. It was too late to make up for the talent learning. Moreover, those who could stand here had already rolled over from the examination room, and their grades had long been determined.
But I can't cram the truth after learning it, and I have a good demeanor, so today, these two guys have a tacit understanding of one of them wearing furs.
If only one person does this kind of thing, it will look special and brilliant, and may really look graceful, but a group of people hold their arms around and feel as if they are like grandsons... No matter how you look at it, you feel so stupid.
Qin Hao was still strange. Didn’t it mean that the people who could take the imperial examinations in the early Tang Dynasty were all wealthy families? They should have good conditions, so why are they so poor that they can’t even afford to wear a coat?
When he went in, he found that Changsun Wuji had come out to greet him in person. Qin Hao was so scared that he quickly saluted and said repeatedly: "How dare you, how can you be a subordinate? He actually worked for Duke Zhao to come out to greet him in person."
Changsun Wuji smiled very kindly and said, "Don't meet your uncle Changsun. The yamen of your nephew is about to open. This is the matter of Kunpeng riding the wind and spreading his wings. I'll help you check it."
Qin Hao dared not take this seriously. Who doesn't know that Changsun Wuji is an old man. He has a very scheming and has no one to say, "Zhe Yao, Zhe Yao, Xiao Temple, Xiao Buddha, how dare you work, uncle, please pay attention, since you personally protect your juniors, then I will feel more at ease."
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Changsun Wuji is not planning to mix sand into my yamen, is he trying to support their juniors?"
Although Changsun Wuji is just a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he is also the most popular person of Li Er. Originally, Li Er planned to make him the minister of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but was disturbed by Empress Changsun. However, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Fang Xuanling rarely had any objections to the personnel appointments he proposed. If he wanted to install a few of his people for himself, he would not be able to refuse.
In fact, Changsun Wuji really thought so before. Everyone knew that following Qin Hao had a future. Since he was close to the water, there was no reason why he didn't get the moon first, but who would have thought that his unlucky sister brought his brother-in-law again, and now he really helped Qin Hao check.
