Datang Live Room

"Minister of Civil Affairs!" The remaining people looked at each other.

"Then the current Minister of Civil Affairs... will have to give up his position."

At this moment, no one questioned whether Zheng Zhixun could serve as Minister of Civil Affairs at such a young age.

What they were immediately thinking about was the issue of letting the current Minister of Civil Affairs give up his position.

The current Minister of Civil Affairs is none other than Zheng Zhixun's father, Zheng Buqi.

Back then, he worked hard and helped Li Shimin sit on the throne. Li Shimin did not owe him anything and directly made him the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Thinking about it now, it was only a few years ago.

Zheng Buqi actually did quite well in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He originally made his fortune in the Zheng family by running the family business, and he was quite shrewd in business matters.

It is also very handy when used in some work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

But now if Zheng Zhixun is to be placed in the position of Minister of Civil Affairs, he will definitely have to give up his position.

Everyone looked at Dai Zhou, who only hesitated slightly and said: "I second the proposal!"

This means that he agreed to Zheng Zhixun's appointment as Minister of Civil Affairs.

Li Shimin weighed it and finally nodded, and said to Gao Shilian: "Let's take a look at the officials and arrange a good place for Zheng Buqi!"

If someone else had replaced Zheng Buqi, it might have left the impression that Li Shimin treated Conglong's heroes harshly.

But now it is his son who has overthrown Zheng Buqi's position. He is still such a young son. In the future, his lowest achievement will probably be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

In this case, everyone will only think that this is Li Shimin's favor to the Zheng family.

After talking about Zheng Zhixun, everyone turned their attention back to the second test paper, which was Zhou Tong's.

Li Jing, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who had been silent at first, said: "This boy's whole set of combat procedures against foreign races should have been derived from the battle in Yanzhi County that invaded the Turkic rear area!"

In this test paper, Zhou Tong is talking about how to defeat those foreign races, so it basically focuses on the commanders of the Ministry of War.

"When the enemy retreats, we advance, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we pursue these sixteen words, this boy explained them clearly." Duan Zhixuan said with a sigh: "These foreign races are not like us. The Tang Dynasty basically had fixed cities, and their main method of warfare was guerrilla warfare.”

"And this guy's guerrilla tactics behind enemy lines are simply much better than those of the aliens!"

"Although we are still talking on paper now, if we train him properly, this boy will definitely become a famous general of our Datang in the future!"

Cheng Zhijie smiled bitterly: "I heard from my gangster that Zhou Tong is actually quite lazy at ordinary times, but I was pulled to listen to it when Yan was teaching Zheng Zhixun. His favorite thing is to fly the eagle, walk the dog, and hunt and fish!"

At this time, Gao Shilian suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, don't you plan to transfer Yan Kai back to Chang'an?"

"Yes!" Duan Lun said: "If Your Majesty calls Yan Kai back to Chang'an, I plan to hand over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry to him."

"Nonsense!" Dai Zhou said: "How can he take the post of Minister of the Ministry of Industry when he is so young? But in our Ministry of Civil Affairs, with the help of his apprentice, it is more suitable for him to take over the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs after two years of training!"

Li Jing also joined in the fun: "Actually, with that guy's naughtiness, it would be most suitable for him to come to the Ministry of War and serve as the Minister of War for two years."

The implication is that the Minister of War can also be handed over to Yan Kai in the future.

Li Shimin looked at the people below and suddenly turned his body protection to Yan Kai.

These people just saw Yan Kai's ability from Zheng Zhixun and Zhou Tong, but they didn't understand the cunningness of that kid at all.

He actually felt that given the boy's abilities, it would be more appropriate for him to be left alone in Kuoding County.

So he said, "This time when he goes back, I plan to let Kong Yingda take Cheng Qian to live in Kuoding County for a while."

He had only told Yan Kai about this matter. Now that it was made public, the expressions of the ministers below changed slightly.

This shows that Li Shimin plans to leave Yan Kai to Li Chengqian.

Cheng Zhijie's face was almost broken from laughter below.

Fortunately, he was one step ahead and let the gangster at home go to Kuoding County.

When the prince goes to Kuoding County, with the relationship between Cheng Huailiang and Yan Kai, there is no need to worry about the honor and favor of the next generation of the old Cheng family.

Several other people looked at Cheng Zhijie with envy.

At this time, Yuchi Gong suddenly said: "Your Majesty, that fool from my family is willing to accompany the prince to Kuoding County!"

Yuchi Gong had a dark face to begin with, and no one could tell whether he was blushing or not after he finished speaking.

But his actions served as a wake-up call to others.

That is, there is nothing wrong with letting the next generation establish a good relationship with Yan Kai first.

Your Majesty is also happy to see this situation.

So they came out one after another.

"Your Majesty, my Fang Yiai counts as one!"

"Please let Du He go!"

"..."

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and others and felt a headache at first.

But then I thought about it, if these gangsters were sent to Kuoding County, wouldn't there be someone else who should have a headache?

"Okay, as long as Mr. Yan has no objections, I have no objections!"

Li Shimin took the blame directly!

"What's the boy's opinion? At worst, I'll give him dozens of craftsmen from home!"

"That's right, who doesn't have one hundred and eighty craftsmen?"

This matter is basically settled.

"What do you think about the results of today's exam?" Gao Shilian asked.

"To put it bluntly, Zheng Zhixun is first, Zhou Tong is second, and the three provinces and six ministries jointly judged it. If anyone has any questions, ask them to ask me!"

Li Shimin said domineeringly.

As Yan Kai said, you are the referee, so of course your rules are the rules!

Chunwei was originally a process for the imperial court to select talents.

Now three provinces and six ministries have jointly decided that the two are number one, and it is useless if anyone has any objections.

So the crowd waiting outside the Chunwei Examination Court stretched their heads when they saw the soldiers holding the announcement come out.

"Who? Who won the first prize?"

"Don't squeeze, oh, I told you not to squeeze!"

"Zheng Zhixun! Zheng Zhixun ranks first in the talent department!"

"What? It's really him!"

When the list was finally posted, most people expressed shock.

Because not only was Zheng Zhixun, whom everyone was optimistic about at the beginning, at the top of the list, but Zhou Tong, who had never heard of him, was also ranked second.

Various temples also sent many people to pay attention to the results of the scholar examination.

After knowing the result, these temples were surprised and happy.

Fortunately, this game was an upset. Zheng Zhixun was not the number one bettor among many people, and they made a lot of money.

What surprised me was that the test paper for this subject was not announced as usual, but only one result was given.

If this happens in every subject in the future, what a fool they are!

You must know that in the end, Zheng Zhixun won the first place in the six categories.

The money they lose may not be enough to bankrupt them, but it will definitely break their bones.
