Li Zheng poured him a bowl of wine and said, "Thank you for your hard work after doing the weapons business for so long."

He held the letter in his silent hand and remained silent for a long time.

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Zheng in surprise.

After a while of quietness, I picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in it in one sip.

He lowered his head silently and said, "The villain is willing to go through fire and water for Chang'an Order!"

Li Zheng patted his silent shoulder and whispered: "No need, you are very old, and your children can also stand on their own. So many things have to come to an end. I can't guarantee that you will live a hundred years, but I can let you enjoy your old age."

Mouu looked up at Li Zheng and said, "What else can that villain do for Chang'an Order?"

Li Zheng was eating barbecue, "You give the letter to Daniu, Daniu will tell you that you should do something. From now on, you will no longer be Mr. Mo."

He nodded hard, "The villain understands."

"Go to Chang'an to see your wife and children."

Li Zheng said.

He stood up and bowed to the etiquette, turned around and left with the letter.

Xu Jingzong ate the barbecue and said, "Mo'er is not Mr. Mo, and his children are all Mr. Mo. I think it will be more difficult for the court to find out the weapons case in the future."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Only Li Shimin can stop this transaction. When he feels that he has earned enough, he can stop."

Xu Jingzong likes this dipping sauce very much. The barbecue is a perfect match with this dipping sauce.

After staying in Chang'an for a day, he went out of the pass again.

On the second day after he left silently, Li Shimin came to Jingyang.

Smoke curled up in the village, and Li Zheng said to Li Shimin: "This year is another bumper year. I wish Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty will become richer."

Li Shimin withdrew his eyes and looked at the pastoral scenery in front of him, "I asked Changsun Wuji's son, Changsun, to rush to the Ministry of Personnel."

A group of children ran past their eyes with laughter. Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng, "What do you think of my decision?"

With a sigh, Li Zheng said with a melancholy look on his face: "How dare I question Your Majesty's decision? Besides, I have made a decision. What else can I say?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I know that you have done a lot of things for the five surnames. Two of the five surnames have now fallen. Once the imperial examination is opened in the future, the Ministry of Personnel will definitely be the top priority."

Li Zheng shook the palm-leaf fan in his hand and said, "Many people know this principle. The imperial examination is imperative, and there must be trustworthy people in the position of the Ministry of Personnel."

Li Shimin nodded.

"But is Changsun Wuji really trustworthy?"

Li Zheng asked back.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Then are you trusting?"

Wang Ding stood aside and listened to the conversation between the monarch and his ministers. Li Zheng and His Majesty were not only the monarch and his ministers, but also his father-in-law and son-in-law.

It’s this feeling again, the dialogue between the king and his subjects is filled with guns and sticks, and there is a test of each other in their words.

Li Zheng held his thermos and said, "I asked Changsun to rush to the Ministry of Personnel to stabilize Changsun Wuji's mind."

Li Shimin did not deny it.

Li Zheng said again: "Everyone knows that the imperial examination is coming soon, and the five surnames are no longer the same as before. Moreover, Shangguan Yi and Duan Lun will complete this time, Your Majesty will definitely reuse them."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "As long as he is a talent, I will certainly reuse it."

"That's all. Changsun Wuji will certainly have ideas after using Shangguan Yi and Duan Lun, but in order to stabilize Changsun Wuji, he asked his son to go to the Ministry of Revenue to make a bad move."

Seeing Li Shimin looking at him with a suspicious look, Li Zheng said: "The imperial examination is to give the officials who are virtuous and capable, and His Majesty directly let Changsun Chong enter the Ministry of Revenue without an assessment, let alone the imperial examination, and directly enter the officialdom. The public will say that there are shortcuts for the children of powerful people."

"What is the significance of the imperial examination in this way?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Changsun Chong was originally a civil servant in the province."

"Even a civil servant in the ministry province can't be promoted to the Ministry of Personnel at once. Will he have any achievements in the ministry province?"

After Li Zheng said this, Li Shimin wanted to refute it but didn't know what to say.

"Will a person who has no achievements and no ability be promoted to the Later Jin Dynasty of the Ministry of Personnel is dissatisfied? Besides, is there any evidence that His Majesty asked him to investigate the weapon case?"

"Weapon case?"

Li Shimin nodded and looked at Li Zheng, "You and I know exactly what the weapon case is."

"The weapon case is now without any clues, and the things he did not do, let alone achieve nothing. Just let such a person enter the Ministry of Personnel. Isn't His Majesty's Ministry of Personnel too cheap?"

"According to what you say, is I doing this wrong?"

"certainly."

Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng's expression, "Should I go back to the palace and take back Cheng's life now, and let Changsun rush back to the gate-secret province?"

Wang Ding winked at Li Zheng and asked His Majesty to take back his life. This was a slap in the face of His Majesty.

Sneaking between Li Zheng and Li Shimin, Wang Ding felt that it was really harder.

Li Zheng said: "It's not like letting him go back to the school. Your Majesty and I are on the same boat. Now it's a critical time to confront the five surnames. It's better to let Changsun Chong do his business in the Ministry of Personnel. As long as you do this, Changsun Chong can stay in the Ministry of Personnel with justification, and it can also convince Changsun Wuji."

"If Changsun Chong cannot do this well, if he is asked to leave the Ministry of Personnel, His Majesty will not lose face, but Changsun Chong's face will be lost."

Li Shimin pondered for a while, "I asked Changsun to rush to the Ministry of Personnel to rush to do business. If the matter is done, it can block everyone's mouths. If it cannot be done well, I will not lose face?"

Li Zheng put down the cup in his hand and said, "Check out officials, and any recommendations, household registration, family relatives in the process of becoming an official must be investigated. As long as you find out the matter, you can do it well."

No one is a fool. Li Shimin understands what Li Zheng means, "This errand is not easy to handle."

Li Zheng said again: "Your Majesty must stabilize Changsun Wuji's mind, and cannot cause any trouble before the imperial examination. Only by doing this, you need face and reason, so how can you be so easy?"

Li Shimin whispered: "You can know that Changsun Wuji has always been very close to the gentry family, and how many officials in various places and in the court were recommended by Changsun Wuji?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

Seeing that Li Zheng looked indifferent, Li Shimin was angry again, "You might as well say it clearly and ask Changsun Chong to investigate the officials recommended by his father Changsun Wuji, and want Changsun Chong and Changsun Wuji to turn against each other."

Li Zheng sighed: "I am also for the Qingming Festival in the Tang Dynasty."
