Chapter 1323 You discuss it yourself, I will not interfere
The silence in Tai Chi Hall was a bit eerie.
No one expected that Zhao Chen would answer the Imperial College officials’ questions like this.
Those businessmen’s children must be allowed to enter the Imperial College?
Isn't this a slap in the face to all of them?
Fang Xuanling couldn't sit still!
"Zhao Shangshu, I feel that this matter needs to be discussed again. Let's discuss it calmly. Only then will everything be fine. Don't get angry." Fang Xuanling and Zhao Chen advised.
Fang Xuanling will not say goodbye to Zhao Chen, which is something that a smart person needs to pay attention to at all times.
In addition to his position as Minister of Household Affairs, Zhao Chen was also His Highness the King of Han in the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor knew this.
Obviously the emperor also agreed.
Nowadays, the position of Prince of the Tang Dynasty is still vacant. Although the emperor and Zhao Chen had some conflicts before, they had some extremely important matters.
The emperor and Zhao Chen still stood together.
In other words, Zhao Chen is likely to be named the Prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
If the officials of the Imperial College are in trouble with Zhao Chen today, once Zhao Chen ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future.
So, there must be no discussion about today's matter.
By then, any kind of trouble may occur.
The interests of the scholars may suffer more losses.
It's better to have a good discussion now and make some concessions from both sides.
"Prime Minister, it's not that I don't want to have a good discussion, but their Imperial College is too tough."
"Those who don't know this think that the Imperial College belongs to your Imperial College officials." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
The officials of the Imperial College changed their expressions upon hearing this.
In front of the emperor, if they say that the Imperial College belongs to their Imperial College officials, isn't that going to kill them?
"Your Majesty, I don't mean that!" the Imperial College official said to the emperor quickly.
Of course the emperor knew that he did not have the courage.
He waved his hand and said: "Whether the Imperial College recruits businessmen's children is a matter for you to discuss. I will not interfere."
The emperor's sudden words made everyone present stunned.
Doesn’t the emperor shirk responsibility after making it clear?
When the Imperial College officials heard the emperor's words, they were also stunned.
Will they and Zhao Chen resolve it themselves?
Will Zhao Chen listen to them?
Isn't this a joke?
But the emperor had already given an order, and they could not disobey it.
He had no choice but to nod in agreement.
…
The meeting ended in an inexplicable atmosphere.
Dai Zhou didn't even understand what was going on.
Seeing Zhao Chen walking out of the Tai Chi Hall, he quickly followed him.
"Zhao Shangshu, what do you mean by your majesty?" Even now, Dai Zhou didn't understand what Zhao Chen meant.
The emperor asked them to resolve the matter on their own. Didn't that make it clear that the Ministry of Revenue and the Imperial College would start a fight?
The emperor actually let something like this seriously affect the stability of the court?
Isn't it strange?
"What do you mean?" Zhao Chen looked at Dai Zhou.
"That's right, His Majesty asked you to solve it on your own. Can Zhao Shangshu really solve it with them?" Dai Zhou asked doubtfully.
"solve?"
"If he doesn't want everyone in the Imperial College to starve to death, then he should obey my arrangements."
"His Imperial College must be strong enough to dare to challenge me," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Dealing with the Imperial College is easy.
Like other departments, the funds for the Imperial College must go through the Ministry of Household Affairs.
If Zhao Chen doesn't agree, the entire Imperial College will be called father and mother.
Dai Zhou opened his mouth, he understood Zhao Chen's plan.
But isn't it too immoral to do this?
Furthermore, it’s hard for Zhao Chen to explain where the emperor is!
"By the way, Dai Shaoqing, let everyone in Dali Temple do their own thing seriously."
"Although they are allowed to make some money, the students' abilities still need to be strictly controlled."
"Of course, students who are businessmen's children can be relaxed as appropriate."
"I only care about them how much money they pay. Naturally, if they are capable, that is the best thing." Zhao Chen and Dai Zhou told them.
Dai Zhou nodded.
He had no way to get involved in the affairs of the Imperial College. Since he had agreed to Zhao Chen's previous request, he would just listen to his arrangements now.
…
In the Imperial College.
"boom--"
Today's Imperial College sacrificial wine is Chu Suiliang.
Although Chu Suiliang was young, he had high prestige in the court and was capable, so he became the imperial wine minister.
He didn't go to the meeting today, but when he heard the responses from his subordinates, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
He slammed the table angrily.
"Chu Jijiu, the current situation is like this. Your Majesty seems to support Zhao Chen."
"But when did it become Zhao Chen's turn to point fingers in the Imperial College?"
"Furthermore, if businessmen's children are allowed to study in the Imperial College, how will we explain it to the world in the future?" the Imperial College official said to Chu Suiliang, with anger on his face.
Chu Suiliang's face was also ugly.
Zhao Chen's hand stretched too far and reached their Imperial College.
The Imperial College has always recruited scholars with excellent academic performance from all over the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Chen actually wanted a lowly businessman's son to enroll in the Imperial College.
This is clearly an insult to their Imperial College.
"If the order goes down, the Imperial College will never admit businessmen's children to school."
"Officials from Dali Temple would never want to enter our Imperial College to teach." Chu Suiliang said to the officials around him.
The officials of the Imperial College looked happy.
He just wanted to see what Zhao Chen could do to them after the Imperial Academy absolutely refused to comply with Zhao Chen's arrangements.
"Yes, Chu Jijiu." The Imperial Academy official nodded and responded.
…
Time passes day by day.
The argument at the court meeting seemed to be just a dream.
After a few days, no one took any action, and everyone thought the matter was over.
But many people know that this matter is far from over.
The Imperial College's order to offer wine made everyone see his attitude towards this matter.
But there was no response from Zhao Chen, which made people feel even more strange.
Half a month later, Chang'an Military Academy.
Today is a rare day for officials to take a break.
The officials of Dali Temple had no way to rest.
Yesterday they received news that two hundred places for official students from Dali Temple would be auctioned at Chang'an Military Academy today.
This was also the first time they heard the word auction.
But whether they want it or not, they are here today.
Upon entering Chang'an Military Academy, the officials of Dali Temple were shocked.
They had never seen what they saw before them.
The college students on duty standing on both sides held their heads high and their chests high, looking heroic.
Compared with the Qianniu Guards beside the emperor, I don't know how energetic they are.
If this was taken out, it would definitely be the most honorable guard of honor.
"This is the legendary Chang'an Military Academy?"
"It is said that those who can get into it have great opportunities. Looking at the appearance of these students, it turns out..."
"Everyone of them is really energetic."
"If women see this, they will definitely surround me."
"If you have a chance, can you ask Shangshu Zhao to open a back door and let my boys in?"
"Yes, yes, it's best to ask."
"We can't miss this opportunity."
When a group of people from Dali Temple walked over, their faces were full of surprise.??
