The Zhao Mansion outside the imperial city is one of the best mansions in the capital, and was personally rewarded by the emperor, which is very consistent with the prime minister's dignity.

In the study, Zhao Cheng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty court, was closing his eyes to recuperate, and his face was calm.

In front of him was a man in his thirties, wearing a delicate brocade robe and looking bitter.

He is Zhao Cheng's eldest son, Zhao Ting, and heir to the family business. The huge prime minister's mansion will be handed over to him in the future, and Zhao Cheng is becoming more and more sophisticated about him.

After all, I am fifty years old and I am exhausted. This year, the struggle with Sun Zhao has slowed down a lot and I am not energetic.

Although he was 60 years old, Zhao Cheng felt that he would not have been able to hold on at that time. His father and grandfather had basically passed away at around 40 years old. It was amazing that he had persisted until now.

"Do you know what the saint is trying to do this?" Zhao Cheng looked at his son and asked in a deep voice.

"Chen Jing?" Zhao Ting thought to himself: "The saint has been with him? Or is he related?"

"Bad!" Hearing this, Zhao Chengqi didn't make a fuss, and he scolded him with a regret: "You are now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Examination. What is the idea?"

The six ministries have twenty-four ministries, the Secretariat, the two ministers, and each ministries has four ministries. Each ministries is dominated by the doctor and the Yuanwailang is the assistant. Among them, the Yuanwailang is the sixth rank official, and is the first-class key official.

According to convention, the center is one level older than the local government. In other words, if the Yuanwailang is at least a state governor, a thirty-year-old governor can be said to be extremely rare, but the thirty-year-old governor is less conspicuous.

After all, this is the capital city. Just one brick of the bricks will take pictures of several men.

It can be said that as a father, Zhao Cheng has put some thoughts on this son.

"The saint is buying people's hearts?" Zhao Ting said carefully, testing his father's reaction.

"You've never eaten salt for decades!"

Zhao Cheng took a breath and then said, "To be precise, it is to buy the hearts of scholars and scholars in the world!"

"Now, it's different from the past!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ting was silent for a while, then raised his head and said to his father: "The court now unified the southern country and divided the world, but there was no domineering military man. His literary style was in full swing. It was extremely normal for the emperor to do this."

"You are right!" Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "The south is not as good as the Central Plains, and there are fewer wars, so it is difficult for military personnel to decide on the government affairs. Literary people occupy the court, but this is not the reason why the emperor must win people's hearts."

At this time, Zhao Cheng suddenly stood up with an ugly face: "The emperor is like this to support the imperial examination and Jinshi, or in other words, the emperor is encouraging scholars from all over the world to obtain fame and honor."

"Even if you haven't passed the exam, you can still get the care of the emperor and the treatment of the imperial doctor. Isn't this encouragement?"

"So, this..." Zhao Ting's face was a little ugly, and he looked at his father and said, "In other words, Your Majesty is telling the world that only Jinshi can be considered a formal official?"

"You are not too stupid!" Zhao Cheng nodded and sighed.

"Emperor, finally the dagger is seen-"

During the Tang Dynasty, all officials were attracted, so there was a family system. If the fifth rank or above, the son could be an official, and the third rank or above, the grandson could be a grandson. It can be said that if an official or above the fifth rank or above, the descendants of two or three generations could be rich.

Although the imperial examination system became popular and the family system gradually narrowed, the Jinshi of about 20 people in each subject could not meet the needs of key groups at all, and a large number of middle and lower-level officials were basically produced by the family.

It was fully inherited and even carried forward in the Song Dynasty. Its official positions were dozens of officials, which fully interpreted the principle that one person was able to ascend to heaven. Therefore, Song Dynasty had a lot of people, and most of them were from the Zhao family.

However, today's Tang Dynasty is different. The Jinshi admitted to each subject is twice as many as the Shushu of the former Tang Dynasty, and there are also a large number of juren and scholars, but the position in the officialdom is limited, so it is necessary to make a place.

Therefore, the Yinguan is the first to be affected.

In Zhao Cheng's view, encouraging something will inevitably suppress the other side. If the emperor encourages the imperial examination, then it will inevitably suppress the Yin official.

This is an inevitable result.

"You are not a good student. You have already finished your career as a minister. Only after the Jinshi is a good candidate. People will not only be the prime minister, but also other officials in the hall will do it. You will inevitably be excluded."

Zhao Cheng shook his head. He had long felt this tendency of exclusion, but he could not object. He was a Jinshi, so he naturally couldn't stand officials who were not Jinshi.

After understanding this trend, he must make plans: "From today, your descendants and other brothers' descendants must study hard. If you look at the royal official, you will inevitably defeat the entire family."

"Yes!" Zhao Ting responded quickly.

"I hope I can see a Jinshi at home before I retire!"

Zhao Cheng shook his head, extremely helpless.

But it was said that in the palace, Li Jia was indeed making a show.

He looked at the fainting son himself, and invited the imperial doctor to treat him. His face was full of worries, portraying a benevolent and righteous king who loved others in a very vivid way.

He almost believed in such a kindness to a stranger.

The ultimate reason is that he just wanted to take the opportunity to do something and promote his good reputation at this critical moment of the imperial examination.

Moreover, Zhao Jing has a special identity, he is a disciple.

An interest group created by Li Jia in the past few days will have a wider impact and a larger number of people over time. They will pass on their readings and replace the local Haoyou's voice.

As for rejecting Yinguan, to be honest, with the large-scale regular holding of scholars and juren, Yinguan officials have become insignificant and will naturally be excluded, so the emperor will not take action at all.

After all, in the eyes of scholars, they have worked hard to get fame and fortune to become officials, but the officials can easily become officials by relying on their father-to-grandfather relationships. They feel extremely unbalanced and will naturally be suppressed. This is the trend.

As soon as Zhao Jing opened his eyes, he saw a handsome young man with no haircut and his long hair fixed on his hairpin, and his face was quite happy.

"Is this?" Zhao Jing was still a little dazed.

"You fainted after the exam, but it's okay. The imperial doctor has already seen it. Just take more medicine and rest!"

Li Jia said softly.

"This is the palace, you, you are Your Majesty!"

Zhao Jing struggled to get up. He looked at the special robe on his body, the palace he was in, and the eunuchs and maids waiting on the other side. He immediately understood his situation.

"Lying down quickly, if you are weak, don't be too polite!" Li Jia whispered: "Cultivate for a while, your body is the capital of being an official."

"Student, student——" Zhao Jing's eyes were red and swollen. It was worth it to receive the comfort of the supreme emperor in the world.
