This is the word that pops up most frequently in Cheng Yaojin's and others' minds in the past few days.
The two guys in front of me, one old, one young, and the guy who just ate the buns for the first time, are all shameless guys.
Cheng Yaojin used to feel that he was very shameless.
But after coming into contact with Zhao Chen, he found that he seemed like an innocent little boy.
The two of them are not on the same level at all.
…
"Zhao Chen, His Majesty called you here today, 90% of which is related to the matter of the hero evaluation of Lingyan Pavilion."
"What do you think?" Wei Zheng came back to his senses and asked Zhao Chen with a solemn expression.
They all know it.
If it were not related to the Lingyan Pavilion matter, the emperor would never have married Zhao Chen yesterday and sent someone to call him here early this morning.
The evaluation of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion is of great importance.
It is very important to most people in the court.
This will affect their own lives, as well as their descendants.
No one cares about this.
Whoever makes the assessment will most likely determine whether their name can be admitted to Lingyan Pavilion.
Where can it be ranked?
Wei Zheng and the others certainly hope that Zhao Chen can be the candidate for this assessment.
Even if Zhao Chen doesn't favor them, at least he won't suffer.
But others naturally won't be willing.
Everyone wants to seize this position in their own hands.
Otherwise, why would these two people come here when the prince's leg is still injured and the bruises on King Wei's face are still intact?
"This has nothing to do with me, as long as the candidate is not the prince, King Wei..."
"Why does it have nothing to do with you?" Wei Zheng was so angry at Zhao Chen's indifferent attitude.
Wei Zheng is worried about his feelings for nothing.
If the Crown Prince and the people of the King of Wei make this assessment, then the ministers and generals who were still wavering before will have to rely on it.
By then, won't Zhao Chen have to be driven out of Chang'an in despair?
"Zhao Chen, even if you say you don't care about this matter, Uncle Cheng, I also want to be selfish for a moment. I want my name to appear on Lingyan Pavilion. If possible, I also want to be closer to this position!"
Cheng Yaojin suddenly spoke slowly to Zhao Chen.
"Uncle Qin, I think so too, but it is impossible for us to participate in the selection of candidates, so we need your help!" Qin Qiong also nodded.
They really hope in their hearts that their names can be admitted to Lingyan Pavilion, and this position should be moved forward.
But at the same time, I also hope that Zhao Chen can make some progress.
Don't be like a salted fish every day. After drying this side, you turn over and dry the other side.
"Zhao Chen, you heard it too. I, your two uncles, and your father-in-law, these people are all tied to you."
"If I fail to go to Lingyan Pavilion, I'll take your skin off!" Wei Zheng suddenly threatened Zhao Chen fiercely.
Zhao Chen looked at Old Wei's head with a stern expression.
I've never seen him so enthusiastic about fame before, why would he... today?
…
The smell of steamed buns in the Taiji Hall dissipated, and the emperor came back with a glowing face, stroking his stomach. He must have drank a lot of soup just now.
The ministers stood on both sides, and Zhao Chen stood behind.
There is no way, Zhao Chen is a fifth-grade doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, and it is already very good to come to court.
If you want to stand in the front, you have to rise to level three.
"Today's court meeting, among other things, is to talk about Lingyan Pavilion." The emperor sat on it and said.
All the ministers showed expressions of understanding.
As they expected, today's court meeting was really about the evaluation of Lingyan Pavilion's meritorious officials.
"You are all my heroes in the Tang Dynasty. In the nearly twenty years since the founding of the country, you have made great contributions. I will always think of you in my heart."
"In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Keming left me. I was extremely sad. At that time, I said that I would build Lingyan Pavilion and record the names and deeds of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty."
"In the past few years, the Tang Dynasty was troubled by internal and external troubles, and it was not until this year that it finally settled down."
"That's why I issued a decree yesterday to build Lingyan Pavilion to honor the meritorious ministers!" The emperor's voice was very gentle, and his eyes were extremely calm.
But when he mentioned Du Ruhui, the emperor's voice obviously paused.
Fang's plot was put to an end, and now only Fang Xuanling is left.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling shouted loudly.
The other ministers also chanted.
The emperor waved his hand and said: "I have left the construction of Lingyan Pavilion to Zhao Chen."
"There is an extremely important task now..."
At this point, the emperor suddenly paused and did not continue.
The ministers in the court felt that their breathing had stopped.
They all knew that what the emperor wanted to say was the candidate selected by the hero.
Who will evaluate these meritorious officials and according to what rules?
These are all crucial things.
Everyone wants their name to appear on Lingyan Pavilion.
Everyone wants to be the one who judges the meritorious officials.
"I worry about state affairs every day, so I really can't spare the time for this meritorious evaluation."
"I need someone to help me facilitate this and hand over the list to me for selection." Li Shimin's voice sounded slowly.
"Father, I am willing to share my father's worries!"
"Father, I have been studying the deeds of our officials in the Tang Dynasty recently. I will definitely be able to perfectly evaluate the achievements of each of my officials. Please give this task to me, Father."
Li Chengqian and Li Tai spoke at the same time.
The two looked at each other and noticed the annoyance in each other's eyes.
"Father, my brother has an injury on his leg. He should be allowed to take a good rest. For such a laborious and laborious task, it is more appropriate for him to be a minister!" Li Tai spoke, referring to Li Chengqian's injured leg.
Li Chengqian was angry at that time.
He cupped his hands with the emperor and said, "Father, my son's injury is almost healed and it won't be a problem. But my younger brother, how fat has he become? He really should have a good rest."
"Brother, you are becoming more and more eloquent. I don't know why you always made people speechless before?" Li Taipi looked at Li Chengqian with a smile.
He said that Li Chengqian was so shocking that people were speechless. Naturally, everyone knew what he meant.
In the past few times, Li Chengqian was unable to get off the stage due to Zhao Chen's rebuke.
Even this beating was not uncommon.
Li Chengqian couldn't bear it when he heard Li Tai mocking him.
He shouted: "At least I didn't get knocked unconscious at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet yesterday."
"You!" Li Tai's face turned dark.
The two were arguing in the main hall, and all the ministers did not dare to speak.
The emperor's face became even more ugly.
Before he could even finish what he said, these two people were so impatient that they were useless.
"Ahem—" Li Shiminqi coughed slightly, and his eyes fell on Zhao Chen who was outside Yun Youtian.
"Zhao Chen, what do you think?" Old Li Tou asked calmly.
Everyone looked over and saw Zhao Chen looking to the side with a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little dull.
It was obvious that he was in a daze.
"Zhao Chen!" The emperor raised his voice.
Zhao Chen still didn't respond.
Cheng Yaojin sneaked up behind Zhao Chen and kicked him on the butt.
