Chapter 274 Sooner or later I will surpass my father
Li Shimin was very satisfied with Zhang Ju's performance.
By capturing this official, the family will once again lose a general.
If things continue like this, the officials from aristocratic families in the court will soon be able to get rid of them all with justifiable reasons.
It was time for him, Li Shimin, to scold Fang Qiu!
"Everyone, do you still want Zhao Chen to continue solving this second test question?" Zhang Ju and the official were taken away and Li Shimin spoke slowly.
At this moment, no one answered.
Even the officials from the aristocratic family who had caused the most trouble before did not dare to speak nonsense now.
They lost another general, and if they talk again, they won't necessarily cause any trouble.
"Your Majesty, I admire the Marquis of Zhaoxian for his outstanding diction. There is no need to solve the second question."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we should spread the word about Zhao Xianhou's solution to the problem, so that all the scholars in the world can see the gap between them and Zhao Xianhou!"
"There are so many things that scholars in the world need to learn, and we must not let them go easily."
The officials of the family seemed to have become Zhao Chen's helpers at this moment.
Li Shimin was very happy.
Today's court meeting was another big victory for him.
"Father, I saw that Marquis Zhao was so knowledgeable, and I would like to invite Marquis Zhao and Dr. Wei to give lectures to us." Prince Li Chengqian suddenly stood up and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, wondering what Li Chengqian meant by his words.
Beside her, Queen Changsun felt even more nervous.
She never wanted Zhao Chen to get too close to Li Chengqian or Li Tai.
After all, it is a matter of the throne. If the three of them are too close, conflicts will easily arise.
If this develops like nine years ago...
"Your Majesty..."
"Father, emperor, son and minister also have the same meaning as the emperor's brother. The Marquis of Zhaoxian is similar in age to my son, so naturally he has a lot to say. If he teaches my son, I believe that my son's homework will be greatly improved!" Empress Changsun
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wei King Li Tai also speak.
He actually wanted Zhao Chen to be his husband.
The Crown Prince and the King of Wei wanted to accept a young man who was as old as them as their disciple at the same time. The officials in the palace were already a little stunned at this moment.
What happened to these two people today?
But this matter has little to do with them.
Whoever wants to teach the prince can teach them. Anyway, the prince and the King of Wei do not like them!
Only Wei Zheng, Yu Shinan and a few others had their mouths twitching twice at this moment.
The prince and the king of Wei actually asked Zhao Chen to be their teacher.
This is a slap in their face!
Are they so useless? Let the prince and King Wei give up directly?
"Master Yu, are you okay?" Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan whispered.
"I can stand it!" Yu Shinan nodded with difficulty.
"How can you be so ridiculous?" Empress Changsun couldn't hold back for a while and scolded her.
The whole hall was silent, and everyone looked at Queen Changsun in great surprise.
According to Queen Changsun's demeanor, she shouldn't say anything at this moment.
But she reprimanded the prince and the king of Wei.
Is it because of Zhao Chen?
"Prince, King Wei, do you two know what you just said?"
"Yu Qing and Wei Qing worked hard for you without complaint, and this is how you treat him?" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
But it turned everyone's attention to Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan.
Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan were so moved in their hearts!
Thinking that the emperor was concerned about their emotions, they all said: "My ministers are incompetent and have little knowledge. It is difficult for them to teach. Your Majesty, please find another wise man!"
Li Chengqian and Li Tai's expressions changed slightly.
At this moment, they also thought that the emperor was blaming themselves for speaking nonsense, and they did not dare to speak nonsense now.
"You two beloved ministers, please don't say that. We need to ask them to do their best to teach the prince and the king of Wei." Li Shimin consoled him.
Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little guilty for her impulsiveness just now.
"Zhao Chen, what's your opinion?" Li Shimin turned his attention to Zhao Chen again.
"What's his opinion? How many people would envy him if he could teach the prince and the king of Wei to read?"
"This is reasonable. Is it possible that Zhao Chen will still refuse?"
"At a young age, I can teach the prince and the king of Wei how to read. I will have no regrets in this life."
"If His Majesty lets me go, I will definitely be happy for the rest of my life."
While everyone was talking, their eyes fell on Zhao Chen.
For them, this is an opportunity that they all envy.
"I'm very busy recently and don't have time. If you have anything, don't come to me. I'm going back for lunch. Everyone, let's go!" Zhao Chen waved his hands and refused Li Shimin's question indifferently.
While walking out coolly, he never even glanced at Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
Li Shimin was also confused at this moment.
All the officials in the Taiji Hall watched helplessly as Zhao Chen and the others disappeared outside the hall.
"Gudong——"
Some people swallowed hard, their eyes filled with fear.
It is unheard of that someone dared to reject the emperor so directly.
But today they not only heard about it, but also saw it with their own eyes.
The key is that the emperor didn't react at all.
even……
"Ahem, since Zhao Chen doesn't want to, then forget it. The prince and the King of Wei still have to practice their homework and don't neglect it." Li Shimin coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere at the scene, and then said to Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
"My lord, take your orders!" the two of them responded, but their eyes were full of surprise.
…
"Have you heard that some scholars went to the Tai Chi Hall today and asked Deputy Chief Zhao to solve the autumn examination questions in person?"
"Unexpectedly, Deputy Chief Zhao solved it easily, which shocked the entire court."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Wei both wanted to ask Deputy Chief Zhao to be their teacher, but they were rejected by Deputy Chief Zhao!"
"This Deputy Chief Examiner Zhao is our Marquis of Zhao County."
"Zhao County Hou's Wangyou Bookstore sells many books every day, and the price is very cheap. If you bite the bullet, your children can buy one."
"In the future, our baby will also be a scholar, and maybe he will be able to get some academic honors in the future!"
"I also bought books at home. Not to mention, these books published by Zhao County Hou are easy to understand and are much better than those taught by those gentlemen!"
News about Zhao Chen is everywhere on the streets of Chang'an City.
Most of them were praising Zhao Chen for what he had done in recent days.
In the afternoon, Li Ruoshuang and her mother Hongfu Nu came to select fabrics to make several outfits.
Li Ruoshuang's face was filled with joy after hearing the comments from the people.
"Look at how happy you are. You don't know how reserved a girl is." Seeing Li Ruoshuang's expression, Hongfu Nu couldn't help but complain.
"I'm happy for my husband, what's wrong with that? Wasn't my mother happy for my father back then?" Li Ruoshuang said with a smile.
"Hey, can that kid compare with your father?" Hongfu Nu asked dissatisfied.
"Sooner or later, he will surpass his father, hum!" Li Ruoshuang snorted softly and walked into the fabric store.
The red-whisker girl shook her head.
Who is Li Jing, and how can Zhao Chen surpass him?
