Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Zhang Dun pulled off his official robe and said angrily, "Brother Hu, stop making trouble, I'm just getting annoyed!"

Hu Guang was taken aback, "What are you bothered about? Why did you let my daughter enter the court with you as an official?"

"I don't care as a father, why do you care so much as a wife?"

Hu Guang sighed and said, "Besides, can the emperor agree to such a big matter?"

"A few hundred years ago, do you see any woman who entered the court as an official?"

"You, it's wishful thinking."

Hu Guang laughed and said: "Brother can see you as an official, you are already satisfied, once you enter the court as an official, no one will dare to bully our Zuixianlou in the future, Qu He and I will have you as big With the support of the mountain, I can do business well in the future, how great it is."

Zhang Dun said with a straight face, "That's not okay."

"Qu He can't be an official in the court, and I don't want to be an official either. I want to reform the bad government!"

Hu Guang rolled his eyes, you can't do it, talking about reform and bad governance, to put it bluntly, you use Qu He as a shield, and you just don't want to go!

"Sir, order some water." Hu Quhe held a glass of water and handed it to him with a sweet smile on her pretty face.

Seeing that she had only one cup in her hand, Hu Guang asked, "Where is the father?"

Hu Quhe blushed pretty, "Daughter, go burn some more."

Looking at her back, Hu Guang sighed. Is this still his own daughter? His arms are all abducted by her wife.

Hu Guangneng felt that Zhang Dun didn't believe what he said, but someone believed it!

Suddenly, a figure strode in.

Hu Guang looked at Li Er, stood up happily and said, "His second uncle, are you here?"

"Where's Zhang Dun?" Li Er asked with a smile and nodded.

Zhang Dun waved at him, and said dejectedly, "Second Uncle, I'm here."

Li Er walked over angrily and amusedly, and looked at his look of interest, "Why are you listless?"

Zhang Dun sighed, "I'm worried."

Li Er couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, "What are you worried about? The court won't let your female disciple become an official? The court agreed."

Zhang Dun trembled all over, raised his head and looked at him in shock, "What did you say? The court agreed?"

Li Er smiled and nodded.

Zhang Dun's face is full of despair, if you say that, I will be even more worried!

bang!

The sound of the cup falling to the ground suddenly followed.

Everyone looked at the reputation, Hu Quhe's beautiful eyes were red, and he said with a trembling tone: "Sir, I really, really can be an official?"

Hu Guang almost jumped up, his face was full of disbelief, "Second Uncle, are you serious?"

Li Er nodded with a smile and said: "What his father-in-law said, can it be false?"

Hu Guang hissed coldly and said: "Don't talk about me in Tang Dynasty, even in the past dynasties, I have never heard of any woman who can be an official."

Li Er smiled and said: "It's not like there is no such thing. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, didn't there be a Mulan?"

"It's not impossible for my Tang Dynasty to produce another Quhe."

With that said, Li Er suppressed his smile, looked at Hu Quhe, and said solemnly:

"The Son of Heaven sees that the number one scholar in the new department has a monstrous talent, so he agrees to your master's request. However, after all, you have never taken the imperial examination, and you are a daughter. If you directly respond to your request to be an official, neither civil nor military officials will agree."

"Although you are not asked to become an official directly, but your master is an official in the court, you can follow him, and you can do whatever he does. In this way, although you have no official position, you have nothing to do with being an official. different."

"Do you agree?"

Hu Quhe excitedly said: "I agree!"

Li Er looked at Zhang Dun, saw his collapsed appearance, and the smile on his face became thicker, and said, "Zhang Dun, do you know what your behavior is called?"

Zhang Dun's facial muscles twitched and said, "Lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot?"

Li Er said solemnly: "This is to let the court take Quhe and order Zhang Dun."

"do not talk!"

Zhang Dun wanted to cry but said without tears: "Besides, I should cry."

Li Er was stunned, looked at him and said in a meaningful tone:

"Crying? Don't cry, if you cry, I can't help but laugh!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Inside Zuixiang Building, Li Er's hearty laughter resounded in every corner of the lobby.

----

"Second brother, are you so happy?"

When Li Er returned to Ganlu Hall, Empress Changsun went up to greet him, seeing him smiling from ear to ear, she asked with a smile, "Is Zhang Dun mad?"

"It's more than mad." Li Er grinned and said, "I'm almost crying with anger."

"He didn't even think about it himself. He thought it was a good move to let Hu Quhe enter the court as an official, but he didn't want the court to coerce Hu Quhe to make Zhang Dun. Can he not be angry?"

Empress Changsun covered her mouth and snickered, "Second Brother, this stone in his heart can be regarded as falling to the ground."

"Yes." Li Erben nodded contentedly, stroked his beard and said, "At first I was still worried about how to make Zhang Dun be able to work hard and earnestly when he entered the court as an official."

"Even that's settled now."

"Tomorrow morning, I will announce this in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and completely settle the matter of Zhang Dun's entry into the court as an official."

Li Er squinted his eyes and said, "Then, it's time to confer an official position on Zhang Dun."

After the official position was conferred, Zhang Dun was an official in the court.

Li Er is looking forward to how he will handle government affairs after he becomes an official.

Empress Changsun nodded slightly, and said, "What official position does Second Brother plan to confer on him?"

"What do you think?" Li Er looked at her and asked, "Guanyin maidservant, what do you think Zhang Dun is suitable for?"

"I don't dare to talk nonsense."

Empress Changsun shook her head. Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics.

Li Er smiled and said, "What are you afraid of in front of me? I also want to hear your opinion."

"The concubine will tell." Empress Changsun thought for a while, and said, "I think it's better for Zhang Dun not to be an official in the six departments and twelve divisions of the three provinces."

Li Er frowned, "Why?"

According to his initial idea, Zhang Dun was first placed in the Ministry of Households, then passed through the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of War, and finally he was promoted to Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province, and Shangshu Province.

Zhang Dunzhi's talent, he can see it in his eyes, such a talent, it's just too inferior to do one thing!

He should do more!

With his ability, Li Er believes that the bad governance in the court will definitely be completely new because of him.

This kid has this ability!

However, what Li Er didn't expect was that Empress Changsun would not suggest that Zhang Dun should be an official in the [-]th Division of the Six Departments of the Three Provinces. Doesn't that mean that he would be released from Beijing?

Chapter 140 Entering the palace to face the saint, I don't know what the emperor of the Tang Dynasty looks like

Empress Changsun's pretty face was full of seriousness, and she said, "Second brother, don't forget what kind of character Zhang Dun is."

"He didn't intend to be an official. We persuaded him to take the imperial examination and set up such a big pit. It was hard for him to fall in. We saw that he was about to enter the court and become an official."

"Second brother wants to immediately ask him to serve in the Sixth Ministry and let him get rid of the bad government of the court. What will he think?"

"What's more, can we hide our identities from him for a while, or for a lifetime? After all, we have to recognize each other."

"If Zhang Dun knows that you are his future father-in-law, and in retrospect knows that you are 'helping' him behind this, will he not be afraid?"

Empress Changsun picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine for him, and said softly: "So, I think it's not time for him to serve in the Sixth Ministry and get rid of the bad government."

"You can let him be an official in another place first, let all the officials see his ability first, and then transfer him to the sixth department, so no one will dare to hold him back."

Li Er bowed his head and thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said: "This statement is reasonable, maidservant Guanyin, tell me, what official position should I ask him to do, so that all officials can see his ability?"

Empress Changsun smiled and said: "I think that he should not be allowed to leave the capital, but must be under my nose and watch him do things, so that we can help him a little. In Chang'an City, there are three official vacancies right now. Is there an alternate?"

"You mean those three official positions?" Li Er's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "It's a good idea!"

"I have an idea."

As he spoke, Li Er drank the wine in his glass, held Empress Changsun's palm, and laughed loudly: "Guanyin maidservant, your words made me understand."

"I am happy to be able to help His Majesty." Empress Changsun said with a smile like a flower.

----

"Sir, if we enter the court as officials, what kind of officials will we be?"

It was almost dusk, in the Zuixian building, Hu Quhe was sitting behind the counter, holding his chin in both hands, his beautiful eyes were shining with excitement, and he was looking at Zhang Dun blinking and blinking.

She never thought that one day she would be able to enter the court and become an official.

Because there is no precedent for this in the previous dynasty!

Even Mulan, who joined the army on behalf of her father in the Northern Wei Dynasty, was awarded a half-job by the emperor because of her military achievements, but Mulan refused to go home.

She is different, with Zhang Dun's help, she can be an official with him immediately!

Although the imperial court did not grant her an official position, as Zhang Dun's second uncle said, even though she was not an official, being by Zhang Dun's side was no different from being an official!

Hu Quhe was full of expectations. She would know what official position the court would grant Zhang Dun tomorrow, and she would be able to work by Zhang Dun's side.

"It's the same for any official." Zhang Dun sat beside her with a sad face, and when he heard her words, the sadness on his face became a little bit thicker, and he sighed for a long time, "It's a crime."

Originally, I thought that after traveling to the Tang Dynasty, I would be able to live my whole life in obscurity.

But in the end, Zhang Dun found that things backfired!

Who said there were no actors in ancient times!

The actors in the Tang Dynasty were much better than those in modern times!

Hu Guang walked over after wiping the table, tsk-tsk said: "Brother Zhang, what you said is wrong, how can you call all officials the same? Being an official is more clearly distinguished than doing business."

"For example, the three official robes you brought back." Hu Guang pointed to the official robes that were put aside, and said, "The officials who pick up relics and make up for the defects of the Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are officials who can speak to the emperor. Admonishment! Although the official position is small, it can be heard by the heavens."

"The head of the Minister of Shangshu is another official who does practical things."

Hu Guang laughed and said: "Although my brother is from a businessman background and cannot take part in the imperial examination, I still have heard about the imperial examination."

"Those candidates who are named on the gold list, after passing the official examination, will be immediately awarded the eighth or ninth rank official positions by the official department."

"But the official position conferred is absolutely impossible to have any real power, let alone be able to listen to the heavens."

Hu Guang looked at Zhang Dun seriously, and said: "You said that when you were taking the official examination, there were six officials vying for you. You have prepared your robes."

"It's different when you start as an official!"

"So, tomorrow the imperial court will appoint you an official. It must be an official with real power. You have to pay attention to it and work hard!"

The corners of Zhang Dun's mouth twitched a few times. This was the reason why he didn't want to be an official. Being an official was too tiring, how could it be so easy now!

never mind!Zhang Dun sighed, the matter has come to this point, there is no other way, he has used all the tricks that should be used, and he just packed up and ran away.

Running away is definitely not an option. He was alone in Chang'an City half a year ago, but now he has quality and has an extra female student.

He is going to run away, what should they do?

He looked at Hu Quhe's excited look out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly his heart moved, and he grinned. The result now is better than he thought.

At least, the imperial court promised him that he could be an official with Hu Quhe.

With an extra deputy, the matter can be handed over to her!

"I'm going back." Zhang Dun took a look at the sky, he stood up and said, "Qu He, come with me tomorrow."

"Good sir!" Hu Quhe said crisply, nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice.

Tomorrow, the examinees who want to be named on the gold list will enter the palace to face the saint.
