When they heard that the new top scholar was awarded Zhilong Tuge, everyone in the civil and military dynasties was stunned.

Lu Yijian immediately came out and said: "Officials, according to the custom, new scholars should be awarded Dali Temple judges. Why was the sentence changed to Zhilong Tuge this year?"

In the past, a new Jinshi would not only be awarded the title of judge of Dali Temple, but also be appointed as a supervisor.

Only the general and other yamen have been abolished.

Therefore, the only positions that the new Jinshi could be awarded were Dali Temple judges, local judges, and county magistrates.

After Lu Yijian finished speaking, Zhao Zhen had not yet spoken, but Wang Zeng was the first to speak. He saluted Zhao Zhen doubtfully: "Does the official want to repair books?"

Lu Yijian reacted after hearing this.

Zhao Zhen suddenly packed the new scholars into Longtuge. Apart from repairing books, they could not think of anything else.

Under the gaze of Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, "Yes, I want to repair the book."

Wang Zeng hurriedly asked, "But the history of Tang Dynasty?"

With a smile on his face, Zhao Zhen gave a very vague answer, "Probably..."

When Wang Zeng heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

What is probably?

Besides Tang History, what else can you revise?

As soon as you opened your mouth, everyone guessed the answer, so why are you trying to keep it secret?

The new scholars all looked at Kou Ji with strange expressions.

It's obviously something that everyone can guess if you tell it, but you still keep it secret?

We are your disciples, and we are considered a family in the court.

Is it really okay for you to hide something so obvious from us?

Kou Ji could tell what the new scholars were thinking through their eyes, and he just smiled meaningfully.

Lu Yijian and others had no intention of paying attention to the reactions of those new scholars.

Their attention is on revising the annals of history.

Revising the annals of history is definitely a great achievement.

If you revise it well, it will become a celebrity in history.

When future generations read history, their names will inevitably be mentioned frequently, and they naturally don't want to miss this incident.

When the imperial court revises the annals of history, in addition to sending a group of new scholars to help, it will also send two important ministers, one chief and one assistant, to take charge of the matter.

They are keeping an eye on this matter, naturally for the position of one master and one assistant.

New scholars who participate in the revision of historical records will make great contributions.

As a chief and auxiliary officer, his credit is naturally greater.

Chen Yaozuo, the Minister of Rites, came out and said without hesitation: "In the official family, I wonder who will be the chief official of this history revision?"

When Chen Yaozuo spoke, the civil and military officials in the court pricked up their ears.

Zhao Zhen smiled calmly and said: "Of course Kou Jikou loves Qing."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd became excited.

"How can Kou Ji, a military minister, be the chief official in compiling history?"

Fan Xi, the left minister of household affairs, spoke without hesitation.

Other civil servants also nodded in agreement.

When the military officials heard this, they were naturally unhappy.

Zhu Neng left the office and said unhappily: "Privilege Kou was also a civil servant before. The officials appointed him as a counselor in political affairs and ordered him to preside over the imperial examination. Although he is among the military ministers now, all he can do is the civil servant's work.

Why can’t he be the chief official in compiling history?”

Fan Xi snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "Revising the annals of history requires a knowledgeable person, not an ignorant person."

Zhong Shiheng frowned when he heard Fan Xi's words.

He felt that what Fan Xi said was a bit excessive.

Zhong Shiheng came out of the class and said: "Shilang Fan is really arrogant. Privy Kou is ignorant and has no skills. It is just a joke among the people. How can he say it in the court?"

Privy Councilor Kou has admitted before that he is uneducated and incompetent, but that is just self-effacing."

Speaking of this, Zhong Shiheng said in a heavy voice: "My uncle once said that truly smart people will never advertise their intelligence. Only fools will be complacent because of some small cleverness.

I thought Privy Kou was a truly smart person.

Since Privy Kou did not study the classics, some people thought that Privy Kou was uneducated and incompetent.

Privy Kou also regarded himself as uneducated and incompetent.

But is Privy Kou really ignorant and incompetent?

Privy Council Kou is the youngest Privy Councilor in the Song Dynasty.

He was able to serve as Privy Councilor because of his many merits.

Rather than coming for no reason."

When Zhong Shiheng said this, he snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "What if an ignorant person took away the position of Privy Councilor in front of a group of people like you who are well-read in poetry and books?

You should feel ashamed and ashamed, instead of bragging about it.

Now that Privy Councilor Kou occupies the position of Privy Councilor, everyone in the army is convinced, and no one in the court thinks it is inappropriate.

This shows that everyone in the government and the public feels that Privy Councilor Kou's talent, wisdom, and knowledge are sufficient for the position of Privy Councilor.

In this case, who dares to say that Privy Kou is ignorant and incompetent?

Before you say this, you should think carefully about what Privy Councilor Kou will do after he becomes an official."

Zhong Shiheng's words were like thunder, exploding on the Chui Gong Hall.

The officials stared at him with horrified faces.

He dared to say it when he was shocked, and he dared to say it when he was afraid.

Zhong Shiheng's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face of those civil servants who thought Kou Ji was unlearned and unskilled.

Zhong Shiheng dared to slap him in the face in front of the civil and military officials of the court, almost offending him to death.

After listening to Zhong Shiheng's words, Fan Xi's old face turned red.

Some civil servants who also believed that Kou Ji was uneducated and incompetent immediately came out and said: "If you don't study the classics, you are uneducated and incompetent!"

Zhong Shiheng sneered when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Yijian turned around and shouted at the civil servant who spoke: "That's enough!"

Zhong Shiheng said calmly: "You are well-read in poetry and books, but like Privy Council Kou, you have made great contributions to the imperial court? What the imperial court needs are scholars who can stabilize the country, not a group of people who can only chew books.

Corrupt Confucianism.

Why do you study the books of sages?

It is for self-cultivation, family order, country governance, and world peace.

Nowadays, you only remember poems and books, but you don’t remember how to cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern your country, and bring peace to the world.

What book did you read?"

As soon as Zhong Shiheng said these words, there was an uproar in Chui Gong Hall.

The brows of Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai almost formed a frown.

Zhong Shiheng's words were not only directed at Fan Xi, but also at other civil servants.

Lu Yijian frowned and said in a deep voice: "Zhong Shiheng, don't forget, you are also a scholar."

Zhong Shiheng showed no fear when facing Lu Yijian. He said unceremoniously: "I want to become a useful scholar."

Lu Yijian frowned even more when he heard this.

"Zhong Shiheng, are you saying that we are useless people?"

Fan Xi spoke angrily.

Before Zhong Shiheng could speak, Lu Yijian glared at Fan Xi fiercely.

He had already scolded Fan Xi and others, but Fan Xi and others still spoke unscrupulously without giving him any face.

Fan Xi had a good personal relationship with Li Di. When Li Di left Beijing, he recommended Fan Xi to be the left minister of the household department.

Fan Xi stayed in the position of left minister of household affairs for several years.

During his tenure, he was quite satisfactory, with no great achievements and no major mistakes.

For Li Di's sake, Lv Yijian and the others asked him to stay in the court.

Lu Yijian originally thought that Fan Xi would mediocrely stay in the position of left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs until the day he resigned.

But he didn't expect that Fan Xi would suddenly speak out today and get into trouble with Kou Ji.
