Li Mo was an honest official and very capable. Take this foreign investigation as an example. He relied on one person to make the complex assessments organized by the two capitals and 13 provinces. ∽↗∽↗, although Li Mo took the opportunity to dismiss a large number of people from the Seldom Party, they all had some basis and were not fabricated out of thin air. Even if the Seldom Party was not satisfied, there was no way to deal with Li Mo.

But like all Qingliu, Li Mo has a fatal weakness, that is, he sees problems either black or white, or friends or enemies, and is not very broad-minded.

Take Tang Yi as an example. Just because he got close to Hu Zongxian and promoted Kaihai together, Li Mo would have brought him to the ranks of political enemies. Even if Tang Yi rescued Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong, Li Mo would not be grateful to him. On the contrary, Li Mo also believed that if Tang Yi and Zhao Wenhua had not secretly communicated with each other and covered up the ugly things for him, Zhao Wenhua would have fallen long ago, and the overall situation in the Southeast would have been in his hands. After all, it would be Tang Yi's bad things.

In fact, Li Mo didn’t think about it. You used Tang Yi as a gun to deal with Yan Party. Tang Yi is not a fool, so how could he be the one who stood out...

If Li Mo could endure a stomachache in the previous grudges, Tang Yi had any plan to build an outer city, which would have completely offended him to death.

Originally, Li Mo was using the outer city to make a fuss, attacking Zhao Wenhua, the leader of the Yan Party, invading shops and greedy for the national treasury and the people's wealth. If Zhao Wenhua is successfully defeated, then the Yan Party's morale will definitely decline. With an external investigation, he will almost win in one go.

But Tang Yi made another move. Not only did Zhao Wenhua not fall down, but he was also responsible for the project in the outer city.

Li Dazai was so depressed that he could not steal chickens and lost some rice. By the way, he also hated Tang Yi very much.

"As a civilized teacher, as a heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, I should be obeying the laws of ancestors. Tang Yi was extremely cunning, had a close relationship with the treacherous party, and was good at bewitching the sages and listening to the emperor. I would never let him enter the officialdom." Li Mo said seriously.

Lu Bing looked embarrassed. Speaking of Tang Yi losing face, Lu Bing was also very unhappy, but he couldn't resist Jiajing's appreciation of Tang Yi and even accepted him as a disciple. Even if Lu Bing was unwilling to do so, the loyalty he had cultivated for many years did not allow him to go against Jiajing's will.

Lu Bing could only find a way to persuade his teacher, "Although Tang Yi has many things wrong, Your Majesty appreciates him very much. Why should the teacher anger Your Majesty because of a small Tang Yi? What's more, even if Tang Yi enters the officialdom and is far from the teacher, what kind of storms can arouse?"

"otherwise!"

Li Mo shook his head decisively: "Tang Yi is a sinister and cunning son. Before he entered the officialdom, he had already encouraged His Majesty to open the sea and made up the matter of the outer city. What would happen if he really entered the officialdom? Moreover, this son is a connection between Yan Dang and Xu Jie. If he doesn't solve him, once Yan Dang and Xu Jie join forces, I will definitely lose."

After all, Li Mo finally said what he said in his heart. He wanted to take down Tang Yi, but to put it bluntly, the party was the same and the other party was to eliminate dissidents.

Lu Bing sat on the Grand Master's chair. It was strange that what echoed in his mind was not the teacher's words, but the words Tang Yi said to him at the gate of Wanshou Palace!

The boy was right. The glamorous Governor of the Jinyiwei was the puppet in Jiajing's hand. He could not directly refute Li Mo, so he had to ponder for a while. He said, "Teacher, the disciples will arrange personnel investigations, but Tang Yi is cautious in doing things and may not leave any handles. Please forgive me, the teacher."

What is this? Jinyiwei still needs evidence to handle the case?

Just hold a charge and take down the person. Before you can handle the case, you will be discouraged and you can know the result with your toes. Li Mo is very angry. His disciple is good at everything, but he is not willing to be ruthless at the critical moment! With your holy family, how much effort does it take to design a small Jie Yuan?

Li Mo even doubted whether the person in front of him was the Jinyiwei, known for his fierceness and cruelty!

Lu Bing also felt the teacher's contempt and had to escape in panic. Looking at Lu Bing's back, Li Mo gritted his teeth, "If you can't deal with the young, just deal with the old ones. Don't think that I, Li Shiyan, are vegetarian!"

...

Not to mention that Li Dazai was furious, the critical moment of marking the papers there. The examiner of the current subject is Li Ben, the deputy examiner is Shao Zhan Shi Yintai.

As the most invisible Grand Secretary, Li Ben was completely the concubine of the Yan family father and son, and he did whatever he wanted. The reason why Yan Dang handed over the chief examiner to him was actually because Li Mo presided over the external investigation, and they would be hurt, so they used the test to replenish fresh blood.

Li Ben naturally has to obey orders honestly. As mentioned earlier, there is no completely fair exam in the world. Don’t look at the fact that there are methods such as miscellaneous names, transcription and other methods to prevent cheating, making people look like a wall of iron and impeccable. If you think so, obviously your strength is not enough.

Take this exam for example. Half a month ago, a keyword had already leaked, and everyone who was taken care of by the Yan Party was given.

But they also know that things cannot be made too much, so most of these related households are placed outside the top 100, which do not attract others' attention.

However, Yan Dang is not all a fuss. For example, among the popular candidates for the five top scorers in the current academic year, in addition to Tang Yi, Xu Wei, Zhu Dashu and Tao Dalin, there is also a Jiangxi native. The person is named Jin Da and his courtesy name is Defu. He is 51 years old this year.

Although he is old, he is experienced and magnificent, and is highly praised by the Shilin.

With this little literary talent alone, he could not get Huiyuan. Jin Da was not only a fellow villager of Yan Song, but also from a wealthy business family. He had a good businessmanship for three generations and had a rich family. It is also said that the Jin family curled up with Yan Song ten years ago, and the veteran Yan Ge handed over the large amount of property to the Jin family for management. The profit alone was hundreds of thousands of taels per year.

Putting aside rumors, Jin Da’s talent is very good. On the last day of the marking, when the deputy chief examiner Yin Taizheng and other examiners were studying who Huiyuan was studying, the chief examiner Li Ben took out an article and placed it in front of everyone.

"If you have no objection, this person is Huiyuan from the current subject." Li Ben said lightly, but his tone was unquestionable. This was also a trick he and Yan Song learned. Unfortunately, Li Ben did not have the supreme prestige of Yan Song, so the deputy chief examiner Yin Tai would not buy his account.

After taking the article, Yin Tai read it from beginning to end.

The test questions for today's subject are from the Analects of Confucius, "Who is the best for the people or the lack of the people?" This is the standard Confucian economics. When the people are rich, the country will become rich. How can the people be rich? We must reduce the intensive taxes, prevent the levy and excessive taxes, and rest with the people...

This article starts from this perspective, and is written in a dignified and steady manner. The lines reveal a strong grasp of the meaning of the scriptures. It is impeccable in terms of words and allusions, and is natural and impeccable.

Li Ben had a faint smile on his lips. Since he dared to recommend this article, he was not afraid of anyone discussing it. Yin Tai and the others read it for a while, and some people nodded frequently.

"The examiner really knows people with keen eyes. If you can't do such an article, who else is worthy of Huiyuan?"

Everyone followed suit and flattered, saying that the chief examiner was wise and wise, but Yin Tai, his brows were deeply locked and the corners of his mouth were gently raised.

"Old Ge, please be brave enough to ask for advice."

"Don't be so polite, just say it."

"Okay, I would like to ask you what the imperial examination center is doing?"

"Of course, it's about selecting talents for the country."

"Gei Li is very good at it." Yin Tai smiled and said, "It is precisely because it is for the national election that the articles of the candidates cannot determine the level based on the grammar idea alone."

Li Ben chuckled, "Mr. Yin, how do you think you should judge the quality of the article?"

"It's very simple. It depends on the intention of the saint. Your Majesty asked this question and was about to ask the world and seeking financial management." Yin Tai looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Last year, the imperial court had a huge deficit, and all the expenses were short of money. You all had their salaries owed? I would like to ask you, according to this article, can you make up for the deficit of the imperial court?"

This question really stopped Li Ben.

He thought about the article itself and actually forgot the Hadith. Although this article is old, its concepts are outdated and there is nothing new.

Fortunately, he is also an old fry and smiled indifferently: "Mr. Yin, you are right, but no matter how talented the candidate of the imperial examination is, he lacks practical experience. What reasonable opinions can he put forward? Your requirements are too high?"

"I'm not high, there's an article here at Xiaguan, which just solves the problem."

As he said that, Yin Tai also took out an article and slapped it on the table. Everyone came over and looked at it with a flash: "The people are richer than the lower, and the lord is richer than the higher."

Just by solving the question, everyone's eyes lit up. This scholar's intention is different from others. The people's wealth and the king's wealth are discussed together, rather than the common saying of the people before the king, so everyone couldn't help but look down.

The article changes the Confucian saying that the ruler and the people are opposed, emphasizing that the ruler and the people are united. Those who serve the ruler and the people should protect the country and enrich the people, and those who are the people should be sympathetic to the court.

Only when the country is sufficient can we train strong troops and shock the barbarians from all directions. A country will be rich before it is strong. A country will be prosperous, and a people will be safe, and a people will be rich... Those who are good at managing finances do not have to accumulate wealth from the people. With the surplus things, they will be rich in endless wealth overseas. The country will be rich!

The previous ones are all about the king's responsibilities and to protect the people, but a clever wife cannot cook without rice. He cannot let His Majesty swing a big knife. The prescription he gave is to encourage the opening of the sea, exchange excess silk and porcelain for silver, enrich the country's use, and enrich the people...

Compared with the previous article, this article is full of sharpness and controversy. The examiners present were divided into two factions. Some held high the banner of the ancestors and wanted to dismiss this son, while others believed that this was the two sides of the rescue. Your Majesty even issued an edict to ask the court officials to advise him. How could he be punished for his words?

The two sides were quarreling with each other. Yin Tai didn't know what medicine he took, but he was just trying to push his articles. He was like a tiger. He would bite whoever dared to object. He even threatened that if he didn't win, he would write to His Majesty.

Li Bento was already big. He was timid and afraid of things. How could the ancestral system be changed at will? But he didn't want to cause trouble. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He couldn't make a decision, so he left it to the superiors.

"Mr. Yin, follow me to meet the saint and ask the saint for respect." After a pause, Li Ben said again: "I will bring the articles I like, and you will take what you like. If Your Majesty blames you, each of you will bear it!" (To be continued.)
