Chapter 685 We are looking for the doctor who takes the exam, not his grandson Wuji (please subscribe)

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew is not that kind of person." Cheng Chubi muttered unhappily.

"Father, the examiner of this imperial examination..." Li Ke blinked and looked at his father and asked.

"Well... the examiner for this subject will be known tomorrow. When the examiner is appointed, you can go find him and talk to him."

After Li Shimin said this, he thought for a while, then straightened his face, and looked at these two juniors who often made troubles with authority.

"Remember, if you two go to hand in the papers, you must speak kindly. Don't think that you have my backing and just do whatever you want."

"If I hear this, haha... be careful with the spine staff."

"Yes, yes, uncle, don't worry, we will definitely speak kind words and won't ruin your uncle's reputation." Cheng Chubi quickly patted his chest and assured.

Li Shimin looked at the two juniors leaving in a hurry, and always felt that there was something wrong with Cheng Sanlang's last sentence.

You two little bastards are causing trouble and have nothing to do with me. How come you have ruined my reputation?

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, forget it, let them do the work, if everything goes smoothly, that's fine.

If something goes wrong, haha, I will take the opportunity to clean up these two bastards.

Then I thought of just now, when my daughter-in-law heard about the recommendation of talented people just now, she took the initiative to stand up and share the worries for her father.

Li Shimin couldn't help but chuckle happily. "Oh, among all my children, the one who knows how to care about me the most is little Sizi..."

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Although Princess Jinyang is young, she knows etiquette and is very smart. She is indeed rare in the world."

Zhao Kun on the side quickly spoke up to express his agreement.

"That's natural. By the way, I remember that this year, Qinghe is already twelve years old, right? Alas... I have to marry a daughter again, and I really can't bear to part with it..."

"But fortunately, among the younger members of Lao Cheng's family, only the second eldest son of his family, Cheng Chuliang, is more honest and honest, huh..."

After hearing this, Zhao Kun quickly pursed his lips tightly and tried hard to let his beard cover his lips...

"Brother Chu Bi, my life is really hard..."

Li Ke wiped his hands with a towel with a sad face. Looking at the IOU signed by him, he felt bad.

"You still have a hard life, how about I suffer more than you?"

Cheng Chubi happily held the IOU and was drying the ink. When he heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Do you know that I was willing to take extraordinary risks to finally get your father to agree to pay off my daughter's debt...

My dear brother, you are so poor. I can't bear to let you go bankrupt. I can only bear the debt myself.

And your eldest brother, who got 20% of the shares for nothing, still owes me eight thousand four hundred guan."

"Look, your family always eats what I have, uses what I have, and still owes me what I have. I don't even say it's bitter, so how dare you say that your life is bitter?"

Li Ke, who was showered with spit from Brother Chu Bi, quickly moved his butt back.

"Okay, okay, brother Chu Bi, you are suffering the most. Just say what you say. Can you please stop spitting all the time?"

"Then let's make an agreement first, you can treat me to this meal," Cheng Chubi said angrily, taking a bite of the roasted lamb chops.

Li Ke nodded helplessly. What else could he say when he met a brother who chopped off chicken heads and burned yellow paper? He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't win after talking.

"Speaking of which, little brother, in all the years I have lived, this is the first time I know that someone dares to ask my father for an account. Come on, come on, I'll give you a toast."

"You think I'm happy, I've been in the official position for almost two years, and now, my salary is only five copper coins, five!"

Seeing Brother Chu Bi's oily palm shaking angrily, Li Ke almost laughed out loud and quickly suppressed the urge to drink the wine.

"Brother, I don't have any money, but my eldest brother is the prince after all. He is not short of money. You can definitely get it from him."

"We'll talk about it later. When we find out who the examiner is, we two brothers can go together and complete the job of recommending the recommender."

The next day, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty announced the examiner for this year's imperial examination, Lu Chengqing, a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Service.

Mr. Lu bowed respectfully to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the court hall, saying that he would definitely preside over this year's imperial examination.

We will definitely work conscientiously, work hard, not engage in malpractice for personal gain, and we will definitely admit capable and wise men who are determined to serve the country and be loyal to His Majesty.

After the court meeting ended, several important court officials showed appreciative and gratified smiles towards Mr. Lu, who was born in the Lu family of Fan Yang.

Mr. Lu naturally saluted these court officials with understanding, and then quickly came to the side of Sun Wuji, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"Mr. Lu, you must do a good job in hosting this year's imperial examinations. Anyone who has real talent, practical knowledge, and good character must be recognized."

"Your Majesty has always attached great importance to this, do you understand?"

"Thank you, Duke Zhao, for your teachings. I understand that if there is any major matter that I am unsure about, I would like to ask Duke Zhao to give me some advice."

Changsun Wuji nodded approvingly and looked at this knowledgeable subordinate with satisfaction.

"Haha, okay, you are the examination doctor of my official department. If you encounter any problems, it is only appropriate to come to me. Others can't make irresponsible remarks."

"Okay, let's go and do our errands carefully..." Changsun Wuji said lightly and then continued to stride forward.

Mr. Lu, on the other hand, respectfully watched Changsun Wuji go away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw his colleagues who gathered around to congratulate him, he couldn't help but feel very happy.

Cheng Chubi saw Li Ke rushing to the door excitedly, and was a little surprised when he heard that the examiner of the Imperial Examination of the Tang Dynasty was just a doctor from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"A merit-examination doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Such a low-ranking official is actually the chief official of a country's imperial examination?"

"Of course, since the establishment of the imperial examination in the previous dynasty, the imperial examination doctor has always been the chief official of the imperial examination and presided over the imperial examination."

"Brother Xian, don't you think the standard is a bit too low?" Cheng Chubi did not expect that the imperial examination would appear to be so low-end in its early days.

When I think about the imperial examinations in later generations, they all attach great importance to them. For example, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it seems that the Minister of Rites was the examiner and presided over the imperial examinations.

I didn't expect that this was not the practice of the imperial examination. It seemed that I knew too little about historical knowledge.

"It's actually the Ministry of Civil Affairs... Doesn't that mean we have to deal with your cheap uncle?" Cheng Chubi touched his chin and said.

"...Brother Chu Bi, can you be more serious about what is cheap and what is not?" Li Ke glared at Cheng Chubi angrily.

"Don't worry, no matter how unhappy Mr. Zhao Guo is with you, brother, we have a backing."

Cheng Chubi then thought about it and nodded in agreement.
