Chapter 273 The Great Diplomat Channel Rejection
"Deputy Chief Examiner Zhao, don't just be a talker. We want to see your true ability."
"Haha, Deputy Examiner Zhao is not afraid, right? Don't worry, we only brought ears here today..."
"Are you farting now?" Zhao Chen said casually.
"puff--"
Some officials laughed out loud.
The official from the family who spoke before also turned red at this moment and looked at Zhao Chen angrily.
"Everyone, please listen carefully. This question can be answered from two aspects." Zhao Chen's voice rose an octave.
The Tai Chi Hall suddenly became quiet.
Empress Changsun happened to walk up to the emperor. Seeing that Zhao Chen was so confident, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to the emperor.
"The first is diplomacy."
"Zhao Chen has the principle of peaceful coexistence. Let me tell you."
“That is, mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.”
"Second, it's military."
"The so-called weak country has no diplomacy. Diplomacy is based on the premise that the country is strong and the people are prosperous. Otherwise, there will be enough people to spy on the artifact."
"As for developing the military, we only need to remember five sentences: political qualifications, military excellence, good work style, strict discipline, and strong support."
Zhao Chen's voice echoed in the Tai Chi Hall.
Every word spoken shocked the ministers.
They have never heard such remarks.
Respect each other’s territorial and sovereign integrity!
Non-aggression!
Don’t interfere in each other’s internal affairs!
Peaceful coexistence!
equality and mutual benefit!
What a great diplomat it takes to sum up such a mature diplomatic system.
Zhao Chen is a young man. Did he come up with it himself or did he hear it from others?
But if I heard it from others, why have these officials never heard of it?
Is it possible to come true?
Did Zhao Chen sum it up himself?
There are also five military aspects.
Political correctness means that the army will naturally end up with His Majesty the Tang Dynasty.
Military excellence means that the military's combat effectiveness must be strong enough.
Excellent style!
Be disciplined!
Strong protection!
These summaries give a complete summary of military construction.
They have never heard of these.
"Zhao... Marquis Zhao, this... these, are you really thinking of it yourself?" British Duke Li Ji swallowed hard and looked at Zhao Chen with some difficulty.
As a marching strategist, he is usually most worried about the issue of army construction.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen summarized everything in just twenty words.
When he trains the army in the future, he only needs to follow these twenty-word general policy, and everything will be foolproof.
"Marquis of Zhao County, why don't you join me in the army? In less than a year, you will definitely become the leader of our army in the Tang Dynasty." Li Ji calmed down and invited Zhao Chen.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Zhao Chen is not used to military life, so he might as well not go!" Zhao Chen cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Marquis of Zhao County, since you don't want to join the army, how about you follow me to serve in the Ministry of Rites? I can ask your Majesty to make you the Minister of Rites. In a few years, I will retire, and this will be the Minister of Rites." , it’s yours!” Li Xiaogong, Minister of Rites, and Zhao Chen invited.
Li Xiaogong is the king of Hejian County, but he has never invited anyone like this.
Zhao Chen is the first.
Even Fang Xuanling and others looked envious at this moment.
It's not because of the position of Minister of Rites promised by Li Xiaogong, but because of Li Xiaogong's attitude towards Zhao Chen.
This means that Zhao Chen
The future is endless.
"Guanyin Maid, you look like you've been worrying for nothing!" Li Shimin turned around and smiled with Empress Changsun Hua.
"It's not in vain to worry. I am really happy to hear Zhao Chen's opinion." Empress Changsun looked at Zhao Chen in front of her happily and whispered.
"This boy really surprises me." Li Shimin also sighed softly.
He really didn't expect that Zhao Chen would give the answer so easily.
And this answer is actually so novel.
Even if they were from the Tang Dynasty, they could just copy it.
With a strong military as the foundation and moderate diplomatic methods as a supplement, Datang could advance and retreat in a controlled manner.
The question was well answered, and Zhao Chen answered it very well.
"The Marquis of Zhao County is indeed a great talent, he has such insight!"
"Before, I thought that Marquis Zhao would have to make a long speech, but I didn't expect that he would summarize it so simply."
"Although Zhao County Marquis is young, he has such insight. It is my blessing to the Tang Dynasty."
"The Tang Dynasty is in full swing!"
The ministers all looked at Zhao Chen excitedly, and they made no secret of their admiration for Zhao Chen.
The more they praised Zhao Chen, the uglier the faces of the officials of the family became.
Especially since they handed over the list of scholars.
These are quite signs of stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
At this moment, the scholar Zhang Ju was stunned.
He never imagined that Zhao Chen could solve the first test question so easily.
What does this make him do?
"Zhang Ju, do you have anything else to say? In other words, do you have a better answer than Zhao Chen's?" Li Shimin said calmly, not showing off his anger.
At this time, Zhang Ju was still thinking about what to do today, but he couldn't hear Li Shimin's words.
Everyone was frozen in place.
Jiujiudu
There was no response from Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, the scholar Zhang Ju has evil intentions and attempts to frame me, the Marquis of Datang County. He shall be punished." Wei Zheng and Li Shimin clasped their fists and said.
Wei Zheng looked down upon people like Zhang Ju very much.
You don’t have any ability, so you blame others for being too good.
If there are too many people like this, the entire Tang Dynasty will be in chaos.
For the first time, Li Shimin felt that Wei Zheng had said something that made him happy.
If Zhang Ju is not punished, everyone will think that the drum of grievance outside the palace can be sounded at will.
"Come here, capture the thief Zhang Ju, push him to the Meridian Gate, and behead him..."
"Your Majesty, I was wronged. Someone forced me to do this!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life, it's him who forced me to beat the drum of injustice." When Zhang Ju saw the guards coming up, he knew he was about to be executed, and he was frightened.
The official who had previously taken out the list of scholars struggled desperately and shouted loudly with Li Shimin.
"Oh?" Li Shimin glanced at the official in front.
He didn't expect that he could detect these things so easily.
Is the person this family is looking for so spineless?
In fact, Li Shimin didn't think that anyone in the family would believe that Zhao Chen could solve the first test question so easily?
Because even they are extremely troublesome?
Zhao Chen's age made them naturally relax their vigilance.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to this man's lies. I don't know him, how could I have conspired with him?" The official hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted to Li Shimin.
"I also believe that it was this piece of evidence that framed you. Come here, Zhang Ju framed a minister of our court. His crime is unforgivable..."
"Your Majesty, I have evidence. He gave me two hundred silver coins and asked the villain to beat the drum of injustice and frame the Marquis of Zhao County. The money has not been used by the villain, but it is in the stove of the villain's house."
"Your Majesty, please spare this villain's life!" Zhang Ju shouted.
