As the saying goes, those who are arrogant are afraid of those who are stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives.
Since Han You's debut, his main focus has been on leapfrogging challenges, playing thrilling games, and relying on his ability to make big gains from small things, almost risking his entire fortune every time.
With this bold style from beginning to end, even a minister has to weigh it.
When it comes to starting a war, it’s not that I don’t dare. If I’m desperate, I’ll start a war.
The problem is that we are not forced to act impatiently now. Once a war breaks out, it is unnecessary to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to oneself. For many officials, they only greedy a few hundred guan a month. What are they doing to risk their lives? It will not happen.
The two ministers, plus an emperor's own soldier who was doing the job of a commander but holding the title of captain, sat beside the stone bench, and the tense atmosphere disappeared.
The three people have different thoughts.
Qian Ji, I got the gold medal to avoid death, just to seek death.
Zhao Tai, I have read the books of sages since I was a child, in order to calmly reason with others.
Han You, I joined the army today just to deal with you stinky, shameless bastards.
Judging from the current situation, Qian Ji and Han You belong to the same gang, and Zhao Tai is alone. However, if this guy really wants to start a war, countless lackeys will appear with a wave of his hand.
"Mr. Qian, Captain Han."
Zhao Tai was the first to speak: "Don't mess around with the scientific examination anymore. This is my only request."
Qian Ji grinned happily.
When Han You didn't show up just now, what you said was just a request. Now that my brother is here, it's a request again.
"Please tell me, Mr. Zhao." Han You asked with a half-smile, "I dare to ask what nonsense is."
"Scholars lose face, this is nonsense."
"This is very difficult for me to handle."
"Is it difficult to do?" Zhao Tai snorted coldly: "If it's difficult to do, don't do it!"
"What the hell are you doing!" Han You was startled and leaned back subconsciously, fearing that this guy would flip the table.
Zhao Tai said forcefully: "There is no need for the Ministry of Rites to handle the scientific examination on the second day tomorrow. Our Ministry of Personnel will take over."
"Hey, you little Bichi." Han Youdu laughed angrily: "Who do you think you are, a German skeletal doctor? If you say I will take over, I will take over."
"I am the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. If you two continue to mess around, I will ask your Majesty to take over this errand."
Speaking of this, Zhao Tai said with great seriousness: "You two really want to destroy all gentleness and disgrace all the scholars in the world. I, Zhao Tai, my Zhao family, all the lords in the court..."
"Master Zhao, don't you think it's weird?" Qian Ji suddenly interrupted Zhao Tai: "Six ministers, six left ministers, nine temple chiefs, Shaoqing, just officials from the third rank or above, now in this villa There are more than ten people, why, you are the only one who has stayed here until now."
"What do you mean by this?"
"After nightfall today, everyone is looking for Colonel Han and me. But except for you, everyone else is just perfunctory. Why do I think that in this huge villa, among so many court officials, It seems that you, Mr. Zhao, are the only one who is jumping in a hurry."
Zhao Tai's pupils shrank suddenly: "What do you mean?"
"Master Zhao comes from a famous family, and he is also the official minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If he is not qualified, he still needs to be promoted to the minister of the province, the minister of the country, and the prime minister of the country."
After a pause, Qian Ji smiled half-heartedly and said: "Prime Minister, I want to be in charge of all the civil and military officials in the court, but why do I think that Mr. Zhao has been overthrown by all the civil and military officials before he becomes Prime Minister and Fu?" Woolen cloth."
"Qian Ji, you are sowing discord!"
"No, I just pointed out what you were afraid of. If you want to be the prime minister, you need the support of the courtiers and the support of the aristocratic family. That's why you keep shouting about the court's face, the scholar's face, the aristocratic family's face, and the scientific examination of Captain Han. I don’t know how many people have been offended by this method, but you are the only one who stood up. Why, are you afraid that I will gain the favor of the saint? No, you are afraid that if you don’t stand up as a court official and stand up for the family, these people will not support you. ”
Zhao Tai's eyes jumped: "If I want to be the prime minister, I don't need to look at anyone's face, and I, the Zhao family, will not look at the face of any aristocratic family!"
"Tough talk."
Qian Ji laughed and said: "Zhao Tai and Zhao Wuyan, I can show you a clear path. If you want to rule the world, you don't need to look at the faces of the courtiers and the aristocratic families. You only need one person, and one person agrees. This position of prime minister and assistant is yours." Something in it.”
"His Majesty?"
"wrong."
Zhao Tai's expression changed again and again: "Who is that?"
Or maybe we say that people become better with age. After all, Zhao Tai, the minister, has fallen behind a lot according to Lao Qian. Unknowingly, Lao Qian has taken the initiative.
"Me." Qian Ji pointed at himself and said with a smile, "I."
"You?" Zhao Tai snorted: "It's ridiculous, what do you have to rely on? Do you think that with just one word of yours, your majesty and the courtiers can ask me to be the prime minister without any objection?"
"No, as long as I don't want to be the Prime Minister, then you will be the Prime Minister."
Han You and Zhao Tai's expressions changed drastically at the same time.
Qian Ji stood up slowly and even raised his hands to Zhao Tai.
"Master Zhao, since you entered the court as an official, you have made outstanding achievements in your tenure. I believe that you are an upright official, a good official, and a good official who has family, country, world, and people in his heart. However, this court is full of people who have nothing to do with wine and rice." , How many officials are living in the temples, and how many aristocratic family members are so confident that they can only eat without their bodies, such a court, and such courtiers, is this what Mr. Zhao wants to see? "
Before Zhao Tai could speak, Qian Ji continued: "I have nothing to ask for. I only ask Master Zhao not to block it. I only ask Master Zhao to turn this scientific examination into a scientific examination for scholars all over the world after becoming Prime Minister. This is not a scientific examination for the sons of aristocratic families. I just ask Mr. Zhao to remember that when he is in charge of the world, he is the prime minister and the assistant of the people of the world, not the prime minister and assistant of the Zhao family. If Mr. Zhao can agree to this, after the scientific examination, I will write a letter to resign. At that time, the position of prime minister and assistant must belong to Mr. Zhao."
Han You opened his mouth wide.
Zhao Tai also had a look of emotion on his face.
Qian Ji cupped his hands and bent slightly. He kept this gesture, waiting for Zhao Tai's response.
"Mr. Qian." Zhao Tai sighed: "Student, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
This sigh can be described as a mixture of emotions, including a lot of helplessness and pain that others cannot understand. As a son of an aristocratic family, even if he is faced with the position of prime minister and assistant, it can only be turned into a sigh in the end.
Qian Ji did not show any disappointment, but asked softly: "I would like to ask, do you want to be the head of the Zhao family and leave a few strokes in the Zhao family tree, or do you want to be the prime minister of the prosperous country? Leave a mark in the history books and be famous in history?"
This sentence was like a critical blow, hitting Zhao Tai's soul hard.
Qian Ji's eyes were dark and he asked again: "I would like to ask, in the future, Mr. Zhao, will others think of you as Zhao Tai and Zhao Wuyan when they mention you, Zhao Tai and Zhao Wuyan, or will they think of you, Zhao Tai, when others mention the Zhao family?" Zhao Wuyang?"
With a "thump", Zhao Tai stood up suddenly, his expression changed again and again, and then he ran away and ran out of the small courtyard, as if he would explode on the spot if he stayed for one more second.
Han You was confused: "This guy is..."
Qian Ji smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Zhao Tai will definitely not obstruct the scientific examination in the next two days."
"Why?"
"If he makes any rash moves, then what I just said, writing a letter to resign and handing over the position of prime minister and assistant, will be too much to do. So he is afraid, hesitant, and dare not make rash moves."
Han You's expression changed slightly: "You mean, he agreed?"
"No, even if he wants to agree, he doesn't dare to agree. With his temperament, he has to think about it many times."
"Then what if he doesn't agree in the end?"
"If you don't agree, you don't agree. So what."
Qian Ji took a sip of tea and showed a smile that shouldn't be shown on Shangshu's face.
"By then, the imperial examination will be over long ago. I don't care whether he agrees or not. Even if he agrees, I still won't admit it. Anyway, the imperial examination is over."
Han You gave Qian Ji a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.
Having lived to this age and achieved this official position, Mr. Qian is indeed no ordinary cannon!
