Li Chen laughed and said: "Sir, you are indeed a master of tea ceremony. You can taste it after just one sip."
If it were anyone else, they would be frightened to sit with Li Chen, let alone drink tea. Even if they drink the wine, they won't be able to taste it.
What's more important is that even if you taste it, you still don't dare to say it so straightforwardly.
What does it mean?
His Highness the Crown Prince invites you to drink tea. Do you still think that this tea is not new but old tea? Your Highness the Crown Prince does not want to lose face?
"Although there are many civil and military officials in the entire dynasty, there are only a few who can tell the truth to me like Mr."
Li Chen sighed with emotion, and then said: "This is indeed last year's old tea. Don't underestimate this tea. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to send it specially from Fujian Province. It's just leaves in the cup. What you drink is nothing.
Nowadays, the imperial court is in a difficult situation, and these things that waste people and money can be saved if possible."
Hearing this, Dan Tai Jingzhi said seriously: "Although His Highness is young and is a prince, he can sympathize with the sufferings of the people and take the initiative to be strict with himself. It is really a blessing to the Qin Dynasty."
If someone else said this, no doubt, it would be flattery.
But when the same words come out of Tantai Jingzhi's mouth, it makes people feel comfortable no matter how they hear them.
Without him, Tantai Jingzhi would not have the need to fawn over Li Chen like other officials, regardless of his status or status.
Li Chen said with a smile: "Although I have thought a lot, it is inevitable that there will be omissions occasionally. Therefore, it is best for a respected senior like Mr. to give advice from time to time. Only in this way can we be able to correct the deficiencies and manage the country."
Everyone carries the sedan chair, and everyone is willing to listen to your good words.
Li Chen and Tantai Jing, you flatter me and I support you. For a moment, the monarch and his ministers are in harmony, and they seem to be in a happy mood.
After drinking a cup of tea, Li Chen said: "Sir, what happened today is really helpless. Although I am the prince, it is precisely because of this status that many things seem helpless.
Please forgive me, sir."
Seeing Li Chen's sincere attitude, the little resentment in Tan Tai Jingzhi's heart had long since dissipated. He waved his hand and said, "Actually, I don't care."
"Speaking of it, he asked for it himself. His Highness is not to blame for this matter. His Highness had to kill him, and he also had to die. He died in the hands of His Highness. At least others were saved. Otherwise, it would not have been possible.
.”
Li Chen smiled and said: "Sir, if you can understand this way, it would be the best."
"Speaking of which, there is one more thing."
Li Chen asked Wan Jiaojiao to bring over the papers of Fu Minqing and others, four copies in total.
After handing the mirror to Dantai, Li Chen said: "The imperial examination has ended, so naturally the nouns must be announced as soon as possible. What I mean, the top three will be selected from these four people. It's just who is the number one, who is the second, and who is the best."
I feel that they all have their own strengths and weaknesses, and I can’t make up my mind for the moment. Sir, why don’t we take a look together?”
Tantai Jingzhi's eyes lit up and he said, "Then let me take a look."
As a teacher who has been a teacher for most of his life, Tan Tai Jingzhi has long wanted to see the answer sheet of the palace examination. However, this time the palace examination is completely dominated by Li Chen and is decided by one word. Therefore, if Li Chen does not speak, it is difficult for anyone to ask for the answer sheet.
.
Now that Li Chen had invited him personally, Tan Tai Jingzhi was naturally not polite. He took the four papers and started reading.
