Outside the palace city.
The palace gate has not been opened yet, but there are already many court officials gathered here.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong rode over together.
"Shubao, how are you? If you feel uncomfortable, go back today, and I'm the same here." Cheng Yaojin dismounted first, and then went to support Qin Qiong.
These days, Qin Qiong's old illness has been dealt with again.
Although I had been recuperating at home for two days and my situation was getting better, my face was still a little pale.
"It's okay, it's just an old illness. The boy at home told me last night that he would definitely come here today."
"That boy Huaiyu hasn't been so serious for a long time. If I don't come today, he will definitely be angry." Qin Qiong said with a smile.
Qin Qiong has only one son like Qin Huaiyu, even if he should be beaten up, he will be beaten up even if he should be beaten up.
But it is also extremely accommodating.
Qin Huaiyu begged him for a long time last night, and Qin Qiong had never seen his son so seriously.
So he agreed.
"That little boy from my family is too. He said that if I just come to help Zhao Chen today, he will break off the relationship between father and son with me. The little bastard is really a rebellious thing." Cheng Yaojin said angrily, but his face was covered with
With a smile.
After all, both of them knew that Zhao Chen was a good investor.
Not everyone can get the emperor's chariot.
Even if you enter and exit the palace freely, even if you are the prince, you don’t have this right.
If Zhao Chen can pass this level, his future will be unimaginable.
If you can't get through...
"There seems to be a lot more colleagues coming today than usual." Qin Qiong glanced at him and found that there were many people who could not see on weekdays, and they were here today.
"A mere boy, I argue with Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji in front of the palace. Everyone wants to come and see the fun." Cheng Yaojin shook his head.
He had heard that all the ministers in Chang'an City who were qualified to attend the court meeting were here today.
Even several imperial concubines from the royal family will appear together.
Today is not like a court meeting, but rather a party.
"Today is the defense in front of the palace. Your Majesty wants to get rid of Zhao Chen and get out of here, otherwise why would he give such an order?"
"But it is said that Zhao Chen, the last time he saved the Empress, there is no need for His Majesty to do this."
"Then Zhao Chen is just a teenager. How could he be the miracle doctor who cures the Queen's illness? That's a disease that even Sun Simiao is unable to make up for the truth."
"After saying this, it seems that His Majesty really wants to embarrass Zhao Chen in front of all the people in the world."
"Hey, you said, will Zhao Chen dare to come today?"
"Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't dare to come. Do you dare?"
"Hehe, if I were to pretend to be sick at home, I wouldn't be able to afford to lose my face."
Two officials walked past Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin.
He whispered to the meeting later.
In terms of words, I was completely unfavorable to Zhao Chen’s argument at the Super Conference today.
Others next to them were also talking.
Everyone's face was full of joking expressions.
"This matter is difficult to deal with today." Cheng Yaojin shook his head.
...
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
The emperor and the queen sat on the upper head, and on both sides were several concubines from the harem.
The crown prince, King of Wei, King of Wu, Princess Changle, and Li Zhi who was holding him in his arms were all standing aside at this moment.
Li Jing sat on a stool, wearing a wolf-skin dress, and behind him were a group of Tang generals.
Changsun Wuji stood at the head of the civil officials, beside him was Fang Xuanling.
The other civil officials also bowed and stood, waiting for the emperor's orders.
"There is only one thing for today's court meeting, which is to determine the candidate for another deputy examiner of the autumn examination."
"I had a statement yesterday. If Zhao Chen cannot pass the argument between Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, I will follow you as the position of the deputy examiner of this autumn test."
"Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, you two are my favorites in the Tang Dynasty. The position of the deputy examiner of the Qiu Examination is of great importance. You can't neglect it." Li Shimin spoke and said to the ministers in the court.
He looked at Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling standing in front of him and instructed him.
"Your Majesty's order, I must do my best." The two bowed.
But I was a little curious in my heart. Could it be that as the officials said, the emperor wanted to completely mess with Zhao Chen?
Otherwise, why do you say so?
However, since the emperor has asked so, they must be reluctant to ask for it.
Li Chengqian also showed joy on his face.
Zhao Chen embarrassed himself several times, but today he finally had the chance to step on him.
"Where is Zhao Chen? Are you here?" Li Shimin swept across the court officials in the hall and did not see Zhao Chen's shadow.
However, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu arrived here.
Li Ruoshuang was not seen coming.
"Cheng Chumo, where is Zhao Chenren? Are you sick?" Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chumo and asked.
Empress Changsun couldn't help frowning when she heard the emperor's words.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen has no official position. If he can't enter the hall, he will wait outside." Cheng Chumo explained.
"Supreme him in."
"Your Majesty, I will call him." Cheng Chumo said quickly.
Qin Huaiyu also came out, bowed to the emperor, and hurriedly ran out.
"What are these two little bastards doing?" Cheng Yaojin asked.
"I don't know what they are going to do." Qin Qiong shook his head, his voice a little hoarse.
Cheng Yaojin only thought about how to help Zhao Chen later, but did not notice Qin Qiong's abnormality.
"What's going on with these people? It's said that they have to run two more people into the hall?"
"It's just an ordinary citizen, and I don't know why His Majesty has to spend so much time on him."
"It's really abominable to be so rude to the court."
"Oh, forget it. Anyway, Zhao Chen will definitely be disappointed today. Don't even think about raising his head in the future."
Some ministers in the court were whispering, while some were also angry.
"Your Majesty, what are they doing?" Empress Changsun asked the emperor.
"I don't know what these kids are going to do. They are so chaotic. The crowd will be excited later. If Zhao Chen loses, I can't excuse him." Li Shimin frowned and said softly.
"I'm going to let Zhao Chen go back..."
Empress Changsun just wanted to get up when she saw four figures walking in at the entrance of the hall in front of her.
Everyone held a stack in their arms, as if they were things from books.
"What are they doing? Come in with so many books, and want to read the answers in front of His Majesty?"
"The strategy and military formation debate, how can I find the answer in the book?"
"Isn't this Zhao Chen a fool?"
"In my opinion, it is indeed."
Seeing Zhao Chen and the other four entering the Tai Chi Hall, the eyes of the officials locked tightly on Zhao Chen's face.
When officials after the founding of the Tang Dynasty saw Zhao Chen, they just felt that this person was not polite and would be dealt with severely later.
But when the old people who followed Li Shimin to build the Tang Dynasty, when they saw Zhao Chen's face, a hint of surprise flashed across each of them.
The old ministers turned around and looked at Li Shimin.
It was the first time Fang Xuanling saw Zhao Chen, and his eyes suddenly shrank and he looked at Changsun Wuji.
"It's just a similarity." Changsun Wuji said slowly.
