I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Li Shimin knew Yin Xuan, and he knew Li Yuan too well.

With the way of getting along between Li Yuan and Yin Xuan, it is unlikely that such a serious thing will be involved.

"What is cheating!" Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and waved his hands, "The store is such a smart person, can I cheat something from him?"

Li Shimin nodded, also...his father couldn't fool Yin Xuan.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, and then said: "The scholars who often go to the restaurant formed a school, and the store gave them a gift, and I borrowed it."

The result is still a lie!
Li Shimin slandered, and the focus shifted from how Li Yuan got this thing to the seemingly inconspicuous word in that sentence - "Xueshe".

"School? Run by the shopkeeper? Didn't he say he won't accept apprentices?" Li Shimin asked questions in quick succession.

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at him, he knew his son too well: "Don't think too much, the school owner didn't propose it himself."

"It was proposed by a man named Li Yifu. It is probably because he wanted to cling to the store, or it was related to other scholars in the academy."

"It's just that they want to call the academy Tongfu, and they have to ask the store owner for permission. The store owner wrote these four sentences in order to prevent them from ruining their own reputation."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

It is impossible for any emperor to like such a thing as forming a group of factions-of course, he can tolerate the school formed by a group of simple students.

If it was proposed by Yin Xuan, then he might have to reach out to interfere.

"The person with the surname of this family is remembered by you, and this time is also a pass?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Li Yuan shook his head: "I have inquired about it. He was born in a poor family, and he borrowed other people's books to copy. He didn't read all the books, so how could he pass the exam?"

"However, he is astute, no worse than that Ma Zhou. If you don't worry, he can be used."

Li Shimin looked at his father.

Although...recently, because of the incident at the restaurant, the relationship between father and son has been brought closer, but the incident at Xuanwumen is still a thorn in their hearts.

In other words, "rights" is something that the two of them have a deep taboo and never talk about.

Li Yuan is very old, and he always looked like he was dying in the past few years, that is to say, he has become a little angry in recent years.

Do you want to believe it?

As an emperor, Li Shimin felt that he would definitely not be able to believe it. He was a loser in the competition for the throne, but as a son, he should choose to believe it.

No matter how deep the misunderstanding is between father and son, how can they become real enemies with such a blood relationship.

Li Shimin's tone became softer: "There is nothing to worry about. Since you have said so, then use him. When the court discusses the appointment of scholar and Jinshi tomorrow, I will add another one to take him. It is used as a ceremony under the sect."

The ceremonies under the door are the ceremonies of the province under the door, and the etiquette of the court meeting is a very, very small official position, only from the ninth rank, not almost, it is the lowest rank in the entire official position system.

But he is also special.

It is one of the few official positions that can attend court meetings without attaching prose official titles.

For the students who passed the imperial examination, this is one of the official positions they most want.

Li Yuan didn't express any opinions, and he didn't want to express any opinions.

It was a little difficult to discuss the official positions of this group of senior students. The court had quarreled several times, but they had not been able to come up with a specific plan.

First of all, those children from aristocratic families—after the publication of the papers and articles was finalized, it was almost a certainty that those scholars who relied on their family backgrounds would lose face.

Li Shimin only wanted to allow some of them to be dismissed from loose officials and idle jobs, but those from the aristocratic families didn't want to do this, and still wanted to try their best to fight for better official positions.

Next is Ji Wen.

With Ji Wen's achievements, the official position of the eighth rank is guaranteed - the capital of the list in previous years was the eighth rank.But how can the top of the list in previous years compare with Ji Wen's top four?
The champion hand-picked by Yin Xuan.

Now let alone Chang'an City, even in the court hall, they began to use the word number one scholar to describe Ji Wen.

Such a character, from the seventh rank, is regarded as normal treatment, even if he prefers some, it is understandable for him to be an official of the seventh rank.

But how could the aristocratic family want it? Their juniors are so shameful, the more beautiful Ji Wen is, the more they will set off the incompetence of their juniors.

These people have been actively promoting Ji Wen, wanting to deduct the position of Dr. Taichang from Ji Wen - this is an official position from the seventh rank, in simple terms, it is a person who formulates funeral etiquette for princes and nobles.

Having an official position but little power is like a chicken rib.

But Li Shimin shouldn't, the original purpose of the imperial examination is to promote the children of poor families and break the monopoly of these aristocratic families. If Ji Wen is sent to such an insignificant position, wouldn't it make the children of poor families chill?
Du Ruhui is Li Shimin's mouthpiece.

He suggested appointing Ji Wen as the master of Yushitai, or as the secretary of the province under the door—these are official positions with real power.

If it weren't for Prince Sheren being a sixth-rank official, Li Shimin even wanted to directly transfer Ji Wen to be Prince Sheren.

On the second day in court.

After discussing the previous matters, it came to the issue of the admission of the students who were admitted as officials.

"I still believe that Ji Zhuangyuan should be the head of Yushitai. He has made great achievements in strategy, scriptures, and laws." Du Ruhui stepped forward without hesitation, narrowing his eyes, and a fierce light appeared.

Some family members objected: "In previous years, the top of the list was only from the eighth rank. Du Pushe just let him be the real power official of the seventh rank. Are you afraid that he will miss the government affairs?"

"I think that he should be allowed to gradually understand the imperial court, Dr. Taichang, and teaching assistant of Taixue, which are the official positions suitable for him."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again.

Wei Zheng coughed and stood up: "I have something to play."

Li Shimin waved his hand blankly, "Say."

The other officials thumped in their hearts, looking at Wei Zheng, who were discussing such an important matter, why did this shit-stirring stick pop out all of a sudden?
Is he going to start stirring again?
Bah, is he going to start making trouble again?
"Yesterday, the articles on the admission of scholars and Jinshi have been put on sale in Chang'an Bookstore." Wei Zheng said slowly, "As soon as it was put on the shelves, it was sold out."

"Chen pretended to be plainclothes and asked the students what they thought of these articles."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng paused, looked at those aristocratic families, and said meaningfully: "When you ask about Ji Zhuangyuan's article, everyone applauds, wishing to be called a teacher."

"But when it comes to... the articles written by some people with the surnames Wang and Zheng, they all cursed and said that they didn't make any sense."

"Some students even said that the articles of these people can be accepted, why can't theirs be accepted?"
