Everyone inspected the examination room for several rounds and found no abnormalities.
The night became darker and all the officials were exhausted.
There were many yamen runners on patrol nights, so Li Shimin asked half of the examiners to rest first, while the other half continued to patrol.
Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng also went to rest.
Zhao Chen and his friends sat in the lobby in the examination room, with a few cups on the table.
"Zhao Chen, why didn't you check those clothes just now? If you really had something in it, you, the chief examiner, will be blamed." After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, Li Shimin talked about what happened just now with Zhao Chen.
He is the emperor and cannot say whether he is verified or not.
Otherwise, it will be a dilemma.
But Zhao Chen is different. He is the deputy examiner and checking everything is his responsibility.
Other officials would only think that Zhao Chenke was conscientious and would not have any other gossip.
But Zhao Chen didn't even look at it, so he asked someone to take it to the candidates.
Isn’t this a discomfort?
Li Shimin was a little confused about what Zhao Chen was thinking.
"The behavior of Zhaoxian Hou just now is indeed inappropriate. It will leave a feeling of being unworthy of virtue in everyone's hearts, which will be a bad future for your future." Changsun Wuji also said slowly.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he understood it now.
If it were me, no matter whether I had any entrainment or not, I would definitely go up and search.
"Old Cheng, Xiao Qin, do you think there is any problem with our approach just now?" Zhao Chen did not answer the two of them, but asked Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu on the side.
The two were confused, but they didn't expect Zhao Chen to suddenly ask for his opinion.
Cheng Chumo thought about it without thinking, and said, "I knew that Zhao Chen, your approach must be right, there is no problem."
Cheng Chumo's words made Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji confused.
Is this still the devil king in Cheng Yaojin's family?
Why is there no bottom line like this?
"I also think that there is really no need to check it out. Since they dare to take it in front of His Majesty, they will naturally not carry anything inside."
"Or otherwise they would be found out in person, wouldn't they cover up their ears and steal the bell?" Qin Huaiyu shook his head and expressed his agreement with Zhao Chen's statement.
"Then, they are really good officials who are dedicated to our Tang Dynasty country..."
"puff--"
Before Zhao Chen could swallow a sip of tea, he was laughed at by Old Li's words.
I couldn't help but spray it out directly.
Fortunately, Old Li's head flashed quickly, otherwise he would have sprayed him directly.
"Brother Zhao, please calm down for a while." Li Shimin was startled and had a little anger on his face.
I don’t know if it was because of Zhao Chen’s words just now or because he almost got scolded.
Anyway, Li Shimin is very unhappy now.
Changsun Wuji smacked his lips, looked at the emperor, and then at Zhao Chen, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Anyway, he knew that if he almost swears the emperor, he would definitely drag him down and beat the board.
There is nothing more than someone else.
Zhao Chen, the emperor just scolded him verbally?
Changsun Wuji realized more and more that his guess was traceable.
"Accidentally." Zhao Chen wiped the tea from Table Mountain with his handkerchief and said, "Old Li, you don't really think that the officials of the Tang Dynasty are as irresponsible as me and are dedicated to the people."
"What kind of relationship can they get to buy clothes for the candidates in person?"
"What's wrong if the yamen runners who were inspecting the exam have no legs?"
"The examiner went to buy clothes himself. If there was no trick inside, would you believe it?"
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he looked at Lao Li.
Li Shimin thrust his face.
Although he was disdainful of Zhao Chen for his own boasting words.
But as Zhao Chen said, what kind of examiner will personally go to help the candidates buy clothes?
There are so many yamen runners in the examination room. If they really need it, why can't they help?
There are definitely ghosts here.
But the examiners dared to take out the clothes for them to check. Isn’t this even more strange?
"Zhao County Marquis, according to what you said, those people must have problems. How dare they take out their clothes to check?" Changsun Wuji also had the same doubts.
This is what they can't figure out.
Isn't this a move to steal the bell if I try to check it out?
Or, those officials dare to try their luck in front of them.
"It means there is no entrainment in the clothes, so we can't find out if we check it." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, and after Zhao Chen explained this, the two of them didn't understand.
It's really hateful that Zhao Chen always had a puzzle with them.
"Brother Zhao, do you want to have a puzzle with someone again? Do you believe it or not?" Li Shimin pulled down his face and stared at Zhao Chen.
"Master Pushe, is Doctor Wei the Li's daily man, who is responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds." Zhao Chen looked at Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji didn't understand why, but nodded.
Wei Zheng held several positions, including the position of Julang.
Specially record the emperor's daily words and deeds.
"That's right, I'll go and find Doctor Wei and ask him to record what our emperor is going to do to slap me just now." Zhao Chen pretended to get up and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's face turned black at that time.
I just shouted at him, and this kid dared to threaten him with Wei Zheng.
Daily notes will be the material for compiling historical materials in the future. If this is recorded, then will he still have the majesty of Li Shimin?
"Zhao Chen, Wei Zheng has been tired for a day, so you can let him have a good rest, okay? What someone said just now is a bit too extreme, don't take it to heart."
"Sit down now and talk to me carefully about what happened to those people just now." Li Shimin said slowly, but the company commander Sun Wuji couldn't stand it anymore.
Changsun Wuji looked aside.
I can't imagine how future generations would evaluate if the emperor's attitude was recorded in history books.
"Actually, it's very simple. Think about it, the book of contract I wrote to you before." Zhao Chen said to Li Shimin with a smile.
Not to mention, although it is a bit dangerous to anger the emperor, Zhao Chen felt inexplicably comfortable when he saw the emperor's attitude.
After all, the guy in front of him is the real Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
But Lao Li still listens cute sometimes.
Even with his eagerness to learn, Zhao Chen was still very willing to help him.
"The contract you wrote to someone? What contract?" Li Shimin seemed to have not come back to his senses at once.
"It's the one written for Zheng in Xingyang..."
"Hey, I understand, okay, you don't need to say anything more!" Before Zhao Chen finished speaking, he saw the emperor suddenly stand up.
He quickly stopped Zhao Chen and did not allow him to continue talking.
Li Shimin remembered that with the help of Zhao Chen, he wrote a letter of seal of Zheng He of Xingyang's Zheng family.
The people of Chang'an City survived that month's heavy rain disaster.
Although there is not a good thing for those aristocratic families, this matter cannot be spread.
After all, he is the emperor, and the fraud cannot be known.
Changsun Wuji felt extremely strange. Why was the emperor so excited when he heard the book of contract?
Chapter completed!
