Zhao Kai deeply agreed, nodded repeatedly, and asked very kindly: "But Yu Aiqing hopes that her son will be the number one scholar in high school. This is human nature and understandable. What do you think should be done?"
The implication of this is to ask Li Qi to come out and settle the matter.
"This little minister doesn't know."
Li Qi's answer was very straightforward, and it was obvious that he was not fooled by Zhao Kai.
"you do not know?"
Zhao Kai's eyes bulged, and he looked at Li Qi in great surprise. It was a double act, but you don't have a tacit understanding.
Li Qi said sarcastically: "Reporting to the emperor, Weichen has never participated in the scientific examination and was born in a cook's family. He doesn't quite understand what Deputy Supervisor Yu is thinking. However, Weichen knows that Yu Yunwen cannot be missing from the Ordnance Supervisor, not to mention that the most critical moment is now.
time, otherwise the losses will be heavy.”
Zhao Kai was also quick in thinking and immediately answered: "Yes, the Privy Councilor also did not participate in the scientific examination, but he was able to become such a Privy Councilor. This shows that the scientific examination is not the only way. Deputy Supervisor Yu, you can
Go back and tell your wife that I want Yunwen to stay in the Arms Supervisor, so be it, I will make an exception and promote Yunwen to the rank of Arms Superintendent, and grant him the title of seventh rank."
Damn! You’re only at rank 7, which is unusual? Are you too stingy? When your father promoted me, I started at rank 5, otherwise I wouldn’t pay attention to him. Li Qi was secretly disdainful when he heard this.
"The emperor favors Quanzi so much that I can only shed tears of gratitude and never dare to do what he wants again." Yu Qi said with a look of embarrassment again: "But Quanzi has made up his mind to take part in the scientific examination. Once he comes, he hopes
It can make his mother's wish come true. Secondly, he also hopes to study more and take scientific examinations like his peers. In the future, he can serve as a general and share his worries. Thirdly, being a craftsman always has a limited future, and scientific examinations are the right choice.
way."
Qin Hui stood up and said: "Deputy Supervisor Yu, the emperor has tried every means to persuade me to stay. It is an honor for me, but you have repeatedly refused. Could it be that you want to resist the decree?"
Chen Dong immediately stood up and said: "Qin Shaozai was surprised by what he said. As a parent, no one would want their son to be the top scorer in high school. Shaozai's parents probably thought so at the time. How could Deputy Superintendent Yu be wrong?"
When Qin Hui saw these idiots, he felt a little scared. In his eyes, Chen Dong was a mad dog that would bite anyone he caught. He didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with him, so he softened his tone and said, "Chen Dong, take part in the scientific examination."
It’s not just to be able to relieve your worries, but it’s just a different way, so why bother with that.”
Chen Dong argued rationally: "Scientific examination is the lifelong wish of scholars all over the world, and every scholar is obsessed with it."
"That's enough, that's enough, you two, stop fighting."
Zhao Kai had a headache due to their quarrel, and waved his hands repeatedly. He then said, "Let me think about it carefully." He held his head with one hand, half-squinting his eyes, and his face was full of sadness. But he looked at Li Qi from the corner of his eye, his eyes straining.
He glanced as if to say, hurry up and convince him.
This is human nature, what can I say? Li Qi certainly didn’t see it.
Isn't this boy quite good at speaking? Why has he become mute today? Zhao Kai rubbed his forehead, and after a while, he said: "Well, after all, Yu Yunwen has made outstanding contributions to our Song Dynasty. I will promote Yunwen directly.
If Wen is a Jinshi, let him take up a post in the Hanlin Academy. If he makes meritorious service, I will promote him. Deputy Supervisor Yu, I have done this to the utmost of my benevolence, and you must never be ignorant of good and evil again."
Before Yu Qi could speak, the academicians of the Hanlin Academy stood up and said, "You can't do this. Our Hanlin Academy is the belief of scholars all over the world and is respected by the world. You just bring in a craftsman so casually. This is not a scam."
Is it our signature?
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. If this is the case, it will be unfair to other candidates. I wonder what students in the world will think."
"Your Majesty, Yu Yunwen is just a small craftsman. He has no virtue whatsoever. If he enters the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin Academy will definitely make everyone in the world laugh."
...
...
Zhao Kai was going crazy. He slammed the table, pointed at these bachelors and said, "You are all very knowledgeable, but who of you can make me the firearms that can defend the country and repel powerful enemies? What about the craftsmen?"
Why do you look down on the craftsmen? Without these craftsmen, the Jin soldiers might have already invaded Kaifeng Mansion. Now you are probably all prisoners. How can you stand here safe and sound? You still have the nerve to make the world laugh at me.
Now I see you are just a bunch of jokes."
The emperor showed his power, and the hall immediately became silent.
Zhao Kai is very fierce, if you make him angry, he will really kill someone.
Look, he said it all himself. Li Qi rubbed his nose and tried very hard not to laugh out loud.
But there was one person who was more courageous. This person was Chen Dong. He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there are no rules and regulations. Since ancient times, Jinshi have gone out for scientific examinations. If this precedent is set, how can the scientific examinations convince people? This is unfair. It's not fair."
I firmly oppose it."
"Chen Dong, you---."
Zhao Kai pointed at Chen Dong and gritted his teeth and said: "I am the emperor, so why can't I make someone a Jinshi? If you dare to say anything to hinder me again, I will not spare you."
Chen Dongdao: "If the scientific examination loses its fairness, then what is the point of the scientific examination? This move will harm our century-old foundation of the Song Dynasty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for not sitting idly by. Even if the emperor wants to kill Wei Chen, Wei Chen will not do anything."
Say so."
This was the Song Dynasty, a very enlightened dynasty. Arguing with the emperor was a common occurrence. Even the dim emperor Song Huizong was often scolded by his officials and nodded to admit his mistakes, let alone Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai was so angry that he almost exploded. He cursed secretly, "You Chen Dong, you really think of yourself as Wei Zheng. You don't even give me this face. But he also knows that Chen Dong is such a person. You and Chen Dong are going to fight."
, that would really make me angry to death, and said helplessly: "I have made up my mind, it is useless for you to say more."
"Wei Chen implores the emperor to take back his order."
Chen Dong knelt down directly.
Seeing that a fierce man was taking the lead, the scholar-bureaucrats and academicians on the side also knelt down and said in unison: "Please take back the emperor's orders."
Zhao Kai was stunned immediately, with as much embarrassment as possible on his face. He thought to himself, OK, you are making it impossible for me to get off the stage. Okay, you just kneel down and see who can hold on longer.
Zhao Kai was also angry and started to fight with them.
Qin Hui saw it all, and actually wanted to turn the tide and help Zhao Kai solve this problem. But the problem is that both sides of the matter are justified, and unless brute force is used, it is really difficult to solve.
"well---!"
A sudden sigh broke the silence in the hall.
Zhao Kai turned around and saw that it was Li Qi who was sighing. You kid was finally willing to speak out and asked quickly: "I wonder why the Privy Council sighed?"
Li Qi sighed again: "What a pity! Sad! What a shame!"
Qin Hui frowned when he heard this. This sigh was Li Qi's starting move. It was not uncommon for him. He thought to himself: Could it be that he arranged this deliberately? Then why did he do this?
Zhao Kai wondered: "Why did the Privy Council say this?"
Li Qidao: "Reporting to the Emperor, I regret that our dynasty cannot make full use of people's talents and materials. What is sad is that our dynasty loses countless talents every year. What I lament is the tens of thousands of Yu Yunwen."
Either he doesn't drag the text, and once he drags it, no one really understands it.
Zhao Kai was confused when he heard this and said: "How do you explain this?"
Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, does Your Majesty think there are geniuses in this world?"
Zhao Kai pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone's talent is different. Of course there are geniuses in the world."
Li Qi asked again: "Does the emperor think that if Wei Chen's talent is to take the scientific examination, can he be the top scorer in high school?"
Zhao Kai said angrily: "Although you, Privy Councilor, have the talent to govern the country, if you look at the scientific examination alone, Privy Councillor, you may not even be able to pass the provincial examination."
"The Emperor's Holy Ming."
Li Qi bowed and saluted. But he cursed in his heart, "You look down on people. I'm from 211 after all."
Bai Qiannuo pursed her lips and almost didn't laugh out loud.
Li Qi straightened up again and said, "Then I wonder if Qin Shaozai can win the Golden Knife Chef King if he lets him learn how to cook."
There was no need for Zhao Kai to answer this, Qin Hui said: "The privy minister has given me the reward. If I ask the minister to cook, I will cut my own finger. It will be considered lucky."
"This is it."
Li Qidao: "Everyone's talents are different. If Wei Chen goes to take the scientific examination, then the world will lose a golden knife chef and a lot of delicacies. If Qin Shaozai cooks, then the emperor will lose an emperor.
Right-hand assistant, but the problem now is that in the eyes of the world, there is only scientific examination. Everyone in the world is blindly devoted to the scientific examination team, regardless of whether they have talent in this area. This has also caused the decline of talents in other industries and people cannot do their best.
There is a serious loss of talents in all walks of life, but the liberal arts can calmly dig for gold in the sand.
Yu Yunwen happened to meet Wei Chen and then entered the Ordnance Supervision. If he had not met Wei Chen, then he must be in the scientific examination team now. Wei Chen can be sure that there is not only Yu Yunwen in this world, but also Yu Yunwen.
There are thousands of Yu Yunwen who could have made outstanding contributions to the commerce, industry, and agriculture of the Song Dynasty. However, reality forced them to take the scientific examination.
Deputy Superintendent Yu also said just now that to be a craftsman is to be ignorant and skillless. In fact, everyone in the world thinks so. If a parent sees that his son does not take the scientific examination and instead runs to become a craftsman,
This can be regarded as unfilial, and those craftsmen today actually do not want to be craftsmen, because craftsmen are not respected by others, but they have no choice but to do it because of the pressure of life. Why is this happening? That is because the court only
Emphasis is placed on talents in one area, while other industries are ignored.
This is just like eating. If a person only chooses a certain dish to eat, then his body will definitely be unhealthy. The same is true for the country. If scholars, farmers, industry and commerce can let a hundred flowers bloom, the country will be more prosperous. From this aspect, this unique thing is actually
It’s just a disease that accumulates over time. Sooner or later, this hidden danger will break out. By then, you will regret it, but it will be too late.”
Qin Hui thought to himself, does he want to improve the status of workers, farmers and merchants?
Hu Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up and said: "During the Xuanhe period, at the suggestion of the Privy Council, scientific research was completely open to merchants. Since the emperor came to the throne, he has tried his best to develop commerce. Now the status of merchants is almost equal to that of scholars.
, has gained the respect of many people, isn’t the Privy Councilor still dissatisfied?”
Li Qi smiled and said: "Hu Shangshu, what I'm talking about is not respect, but making the best use of people's talents and making the best use of materials." Then he suddenly asked Zhao Kai: "Your Majesty, if there is a farmer who says he has a method that can make me great.
Song's grain production increased tenfold, but he has one request, which is to replace Hu Shangshu. I wonder if the emperor will agree?"
Hu Yi almost vomited blood after hearing this. This move was so cruel.
This was obviously a trap. How could Zhao Kai be fooled? He said: "If there is such a way, let alone Hu Shangshu, even if I have to replace you as Privy Councilor, I will agree without hesitation."
Li Qi was not annoyed at all and said with a smile: "It can be seen from this that talents in every aspect are very important, but the current situation is that a person who has the potential to become the next Shennong abandons his talent and instead invests in something he is not good at.
During the scientific examination, our Song Dynasty lost tens of millions of stones of food. A person who had the potential to become the next Luban abandoned his talent and turned to the scientific examination that he was not good at, causing our Song Dynasty to lose everything that could be wiped out.
The most powerful weapon in the world.
A person with the potential to create tens of millions of wealth abandoned his talent and devoted himself to scientific examinations that he was not good at. This caused the Song Dynasty to lose tens of millions of coins, but they were lackluster in the scientific examination team.
If these are not important, then forget it, but the problem is that the imperial court is in great need of talents in these fields. This is tantamount to destroying both arms. Shouldn't it be a pity! Sad! Is it deplorable? "
