Li Yi's arrival aroused the curiosity and discussion of the civil and military officials.
Even Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and the others were puzzled.
"Could it be that this kid is here to state his grievances?”
This was almost the same thought in everyone's mind.
As for Hou Junji and the others, they were ecstatic. Now that rumors were flying all over Chang 'an, Li Jing and his son finally couldn't sit still.
Hou Junji wasn't afraid that Li Jing and his son would come forward to speak of their grievances. To outsiders, this would be a guilty conscience, and the more they spoke, the worse it would be.
Even if the Emperor believed in the father and son, he could not stop the world from gossiping.
The court discussion had finally begun.
Following the eunuch's announcement, the palace door slowly opened.
The civil and military officials tidied up their clothes and formed four teams, slowly walking towards the palace gate.
All the officials in the court were officials of the fourth rank and above.
After the ceremony, Li Shi Min swept his gaze across the officials. When he saw Li Yi, he was surprised.
"Everyone, please excuse the formalities. It seems that a new face has arrived in the court today. I wonder if this beloved minister will be able to insist on coming to the court to discuss matters in the future.”
Li Shi Min's joke caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Li Yi's skin was thick and he did not feel embarrassed by Li Er's joke.
Li Er looked at the indifferent Li Yi and nodded to himself. This kid had some skills. Just by being thick-skinned, he was more promising than his father.
If it was Li Jing, he would definitely be so embarrassed that he couldn't even put himself to the ground.
After the court discussion began, it was the prime ministers of the three provinces who first presented their state affairs, followed by the six ministries. They were discussing the war at the border and other complicated matters.
Among them, the most important thing should be the opening of the Imperial College.
Just as Li Jing had guessed, Li Er confirmed in the court that school would start the day after tomorrow. Among them, the children of nobles and high officials could be recommended to attend school, but they had to go through an assessment.
As for the other students, the content of the assessment would be even stricter.
The Imperial College was the reserve base for future civil and military officials of the imperial court, so whether it was knowledge, ability, or even appearance, everything was tested.
…………
In the blink of an eye, the sun rose from the east, and the sky was already bright. The discussion in the hall was finally coming to an end.
"Dear ministers, is there anyone else who wants to report?”Li Shi Min smiled as he looked at a certain someone behind the group.
The officials finally relaxed. They were all waiting to watch a good show as they turned to look at Li Yi.
Li Yi knew that it was time for him to go on stage.
"I have my roots."
As he spoke, he took out the memorial that he had already prepared.
Li Shi Min and the other civil and military officials were surprised. They thought that this kid was just making a statement, but who knew that he would seriously write a memorial. It seemed that the situation was more serious than they had imagined.
Not to mention the others, even Li Jing himself was a little confused. He thought that his son would complain about the grievances he had suffered in the court, but who knew that he would actually write a memorial.
This time, Li Jing was instantly on tenterhooks. He was afraid that his bold son would say something unbearable in the memorial and anger the Emperor.
Almost all the officials in the hall were curious about what was written in Li Yi's memorial.
Was she crying about her grievances? Or should he state the truth of the rumors?
Even Li Shi Min himself was curious. Therefore, when the eunuch handed it over, he hurriedly opened the memorial.
Before he could read the contents, Li Er shouted in shock,""Good, haha, this word is well written. Just based on this point, zhen can give you a qualification to be exempted from the imperial examinations.”
All the civil and military officials were shocked. Li Shi Min had always been proud of his calligraphy and would never casually praise others 'calligraphy. Because there were not many people in the world that he could praise.
Now, even the Emperor was praising it. It seemed that the calligraphy of this little bastard must be very good.
Li Yi did not feel honored by Li Er's praise. His expression was calm and peaceful, and he did not get carried away by it.
Thanks to Wang Xizhi's teachings, his calligraphy skills had improved greatly. Even though he had only inherited one-third of the Sage of Calligraphy's teachings, he could still crush most scholars in the world.
Li Shi Min looked at it very carefully, and even a pin drop could be heard in the court.
All the civil and military officials craned their necks, trying to see what was written in the memorial that could make the Emperor so serious.
Half an hour later, Li Shimin finally finished reading Li Yi's memorial. He then revealed a look of unsatisfied satisfaction.
"Dear ministers, do you want to know what Li Yi wrote in his memorial? Hehe, alright then, I'll let you all listen.”Li Shi Min smiled and handed the memorial to the eunuch beside him."Read it out for all the ministers."
"Yes." The eunuch picked up the memorial and read it out in a cadence.
The more the civil and military officials heard, the more shocked they became. Not only was this memorial full of literary grace, but it was also rare to see it being majestic. It quoted scriptures and classics, and there was also a vast and mighty righteousness mixed within.
The contents of the memorial were not what everyone had expected. It was not to state his grievances or the truth of the matter, but to recommend talents.
Yes, recommending talents.
Moreover, the person who recommended him was none other than Zhuge Qingyun of the Zhuge Clan.
This undoubtedly shocked everyone. Chang 'an City was in an uproar because of this matter. They said that Li Yi had accepted bribes from the Zhuge Clan and was preparing to secure an official position for them.
Who knew that not only did this kid not avoid suspicion, he even went against everyone's expectations and did not hesitate to write a letter to seek an official position for Zhuge Qingyun.
"Is this kid stupid? He should take this opportunity to defend himself, right? Who knew that not only did he not distinguish, he even said this matter openly and openly.”
"Perhaps this is the brilliance of this young duke.”
…………
Among the court officials, be it Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and the others, they were all shocked. After some thought, they looked at Li Yi with admiration.
"This kid is indeed powerful, a rare genius.”
"Yeah, he's much stronger than his father in this aspect. Who would have thought that at such a young age, he would have such means?
Hou Junji and the others were frighteningly gloomy.
They had never expected that this kid would actually use such a strange move to easily resolve this strange situation.
When everyone thought that he was here to state his grievances and explain the truth, he did the opposite. He ignored the rumors and directly recommended Zhuge Qingyun.
Using his own actions to prove his innocence.
It was imaginable that after the court meeting ended today, the whole Chang 'an would spread the news that the Duke of Wei had recommended talents for the country despite the malicious slander of the rumors.
In this way, not only would he be able to clear his name, but he would also be able to earn a clear conscience and ignore the rumors.”The good name.
