Chang Hao's incident was not completely finished, and there was a small follow-up episode.

When Chang Yuankai learned that his son had been bullied, he thought that He Zhizhang, a small sixth-rank rank, dared to bully him, a senior official with real power, would have to find justice in terms of face no matter what.

The result of the imperial examination also annoyed Cui Shi, who helped Chang Hao answer.

Cui Xi was born in the world's wealthy Cui family. The Cui family has been famous from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. No one is more than the other. All the children of the Cui family are proud of being in such a wealthy family. In the eyes of the Cui family, the glory of the Cui family has even passed the royal family. After all, even from historical records, the longest fortune of the country has only been eight hundred years, while the prosperity of the Cui family has lasted for thousands of years. Over the past thousand years, the Cui family has become prime ministers in more than 30 people, and more than 400 officials above the fifth rank of the court and the country are prosperous, which is worthy of the prosperity of the times. Therefore, the Cui family is also called the "prime minister's surname". There is even a saying among the people that "the ugly daughter of the Cui family does not have to worry about marrying, but the royal princess is worried about marrying", which shows that the Cui family is famous.

As the prime minister of the current dynasty, Cui Xi was the most prominent person in the Cui family today, and he was proud of ordinary people.

Since he responded to Chang Yuankai's request, Cui Shi went for the top scorer. In addition to poetry and prose, classics and history, and questioning in both subjects were answered by reading ancient books while referring to examples. As a result, the results came out, not to mention the top scorer, but they didn't even make the list. Cui Shi only felt that his face was so painful.

Chang Yuankai submitted a memorial to impeach him and sued He Zhizhang in front of Li Dan.

Cui Shi moved his confidant and launched an offensive against He Zhizhang, saying that he was favored for personal gain in the imperial examination.

Faced with the doubts, He Zhizhang had a clear conscience and directly transferred out two papers to confront the ministers in the court.

The brocade serpent written by Pei Min shocked all the civil and military officials in the court. Even the Supreme Emperor Li Dan said, "This feeling can be remembered, but it was already lost at that time. Good poems and good sentences! Just by this poem, Pei Min's talent can be seen like the top scholar, and he deserves it."

But what really caused a huge response was the method of shaving water and sand to control the Yellow River. Tao Yanyi, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, was so excited that he cried and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister's proposal, immediately send someone to survey the terrain according to Pei Min's proposal, and prepare to build a dam stone, and timber shaving water and sand to avoid floods in the coming year. Pei Min is a great talent, please adjust our Ministry of Works to listen to it."

The Supreme Emperor Li Dan said, "According to my dear, is Pei Min's method of rinsing sand with water feasible?"

Tao Yan said with great affirmation: "Feable! Wonderful ideas, every word is gem."

Tao Yan was able to become the Minister of Works because of his political achievements in water conservancy. After the pre-Qin period, Yunmengze in Jingxiang gradually disintegrated, and the relationship between the rivers and lakes changed, which affected the evolution of Dongting Lake. Since the Han and Jin Dynasties, the population of the Yangtze River basin has gradually increased, the intensity of reclamation activities has increased, and natural vegetation has been severely damaged, and the sand content of the Yangtze River has begun to increase. By the Tang Dynasty, the water level in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River has risen past the warning point, which has seriously threatened the livelihood of the people in the Jingxiang era.

Because of this, floods were flooded in Jingxiang, Tao Yan and Jingxiang people suffered from floods. They studied and worked hard to control floods, and achieved remarkable results. During the Wu Zetian period, the Yellow River broke its dam and suffered heavy losses. The famous prime minister Di Renjie transferred Tao Yan to the court and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Water, responsible for the management of the Yellow River. After investigation, he also focused on the management of the Yellow River in the focus of sand control, and launched the Yellow River dredging operation, achieving great results. Therefore, he was promoted to the Minister of Works and became the second leader of the Ministry of Works.

Li Dan looked at Tao Yan deeply, knowing his authority in water conservancy, and was about to agree.

Guo Yuanzhen, Minister of War, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Pei Min pointed out the shortcomings of our government's current military forces during his questioning with border troubles, and his vision is extraordinary. Just as he said that the country does not have strong troops and cannot shock the four barbarians. If the four barbarians are not afraid of them, the border troubles will not only be so talented. If you use them for the Ministry of Works, you will use them with a large amount of talent. It is better to transfer our Ministry of War, and you will have great uses."

Tao Yan was anxious and glared at Guo Yuanzhen and said, "What does Guo Shangshu mean?"

Guo Yuanzhen said with a head: "What does it mean to seek talent for the country?"

Tao Yan said angrily: "It is a talent present in my Ministry of Works. What are your Ministry of War?"

Guo Yuanzhen replied unwillingly: "What do you mean by the Ministry of Works? As early as ten days ago, Governor Xue mentioned Pei Min to me, saying that he was a talented person and could regain Liaodong and western Liaoning. He had his credit. I just don't know where he is, and I didn't have a clear message, so I was stiff. You just talk fast and just take the lead."

"You" Tao Yan's words were not spoken yet, and Li Dan interrupted with a headache: "This matter is put on hold, and I won't mention it for now. Pei Min has great talent, but according to regulations, he still needs to go through the Ministry of Personnel to determine where to go. Don't argue with the two Qing families, so as not to hurt the harmony."

Tao Yan and Guo Yuanzhen dared not say much, and glared at each other.

Li Dan made a final decision: "I don't think there is any need to discuss Pei Min's talent. The top scholar is well deserved. As for Chang Hao, he should not be careless and should be punished. However, is it too severe to disqualify him? From his answer sheet, it can be seen that this person's talent is not inferior to Pei Min. Especially in terms of the question of border problems, compared with Pei Min's radicalism, Chang Hao's stability and heaviness are deeply loved by me."

Although Li Longji is the emperor, as long as the Supreme Emperor Li Dan arrives in the court, he is still on the left side of the throne as before. Hearing Li Dan say this, the corner of his mouth twitches, and a little sneer in his heart: he is seriously ill and seriously treated. The military system of the government has affected the overall military strength of the Tang Dynasty, and it must be safe and heavy. What should I do to fight against Tubo, Turks, and Khitans.

Thinking of Li Dan's attitude recently, Li Longji did not intend to disobey him in this matter, but said in his heart: If I have the power, all the old-fashioned rules will be abolished.

He Zhizhang saw that Li Dan was still interested in giving Chang Hao a title, and he didn't want to give birth to a crappy guy in his term of office, which would destroy his reputation. Just as he wanted to defend himself, Li Longji said: "Father" He glanced at Chang Yuankai with an excited face and smiled lightly: "I have an idea here. Zhigong Jue has cancelled Chang Hao's qualification for this test paper and asked him to take it back. But the meaning of the imperial examination is to select talents, and missing talents is also a loss to my Tang Dynasty. It is better to use both kindness and power, not change the punishment, be extra kind, and add more. The child works for him and asks two more questions. Chang Hao reassessesses and questions. If he passes the test, he will be on the list. If he does not perform well, he can only blame himself for not learning well."

Chang Yuankai's expression changed drastically. Unexpectedly, Li Longji actually defeated his army at this critical moment.

He Zhizhang was overjoyed and said, "I will reconsider."

Chang Yuankai dared not let Chang Hao take the exam again, and he voluntarily gave up this opportunity.

From this, the top scorer and the first candidate were selected: the top scorer Pei Min, the second scorer Lu Ze, and the Tanhua Feng Zhi, and the court contributed to hold a banquet with Qujiang on March 3rd!
