"What does the ministry mean?" Li Longji asked again, "Will you send someone over again?"

Xu Pan pondered and replied: "At present, most of the Jinshi last year have been sent, and even if they send people, they need to wait for the beginning of the spring Enke, but they are ...... I'm afraid that there will be more vacancies in the future, and people will be afraid of ......"

Reminded by Xu Fan, Li Longji nodded slightly, and said lightly: "You're right!"

"In that case, then don't send it!"

"Yes!"

Xu Chen, who was kneeling below, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was instantly relieved.

In the final analysis, the purge of the princelings after the year is the most important thing in Li Longji's heart at this moment, the Ryukyu military town is just a small place, and it is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the first place, even if it is lost, it is not a pity!

As for preventing the border generals from sitting big, Li Longji, who has suffered a loss, is also very concerned about one thing now, but the main generals of the first army are all in a hurry to stay in Chang'an to take the imperial examination, what difference does it make if he sits big or not?

Is there a general who himself stays under the emperor's nose, but his subordinates are constantly recruiting troops on the frontier?

How much of a threat can the general pose for the soldier to leave?

Thinking of this, Li Longji remembered something again, so he opened his mouth and asked Xu Chen: "Are the soldiers of your Wuwei Army in good combat strength! I heard your teacher say that you were outside the palace yesterday, and you fought against thousands of people with a dozen people, and instead of being defeated, you blocked the onslaught of thousands of people?"

Xu Chen immediately raised his head and said with an embarrassed expression: "How can there be...... Weichen used some small tricks, and it was set on fire and smoked, and it was not easy to drag them down, these rebels did not dare to disperse, and they were not familiar with the terrain, so they fell in love with Weichen's way!"

"Haha, is it?" Li Longji smiled: "That's how you fight?"

Xu Chen nodded a little embarrassedly, and said: "Actually, this time with the three hundred people who Weichen entered Beijing, they are not soldiers of the Wuwei Army!"

"Oh?" Li Longji was slightly surprised.

"They are actually all Weichen's brothers!" Xu Chen said calmly.

"Brother?"

"Yes!" Xu Chen nodded, his tone a little low: "They are all brothers who have followed me since Yuzhang City......! Later, I went to the battlefield, and there were many ...... A lot of brothers will never come back......"

Li Longji was silent for a long time, nodded slightly, and turned his head to look at Xu Fan: "I heard that several students you accepted were from beggars, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't think it was true!"

Xu Fan also nodded silently and said: "They are all hard-working children, it is rare that they have a good heart and are also smart, so I accepted them!"

"It's rare! It's rare!" Li Longji nodded, looked back at Xu Chen, and praised: "You are not bad! You have a compassionate heart at a young age! It is indeed good!"

"That's it! You can stay in Chang'an City for as long as you want! Ryukyu affairs, take care of it yourself! Doesn't it give you the power to appoint subordinate officials freely? This is the post of Ryukyu prefectural magistrate...... It's up to you!"

"Huh......? Isn't this okay?" Xu Chen's mouth grew, his face full of disbelief.

"Why? don't want it?" Li Longji quipped, "If you don't want it, then I will take it back!"

"Yes, yes! I didn't say no!" Xu Chen hurriedly nodded and responded.

"Haha, it's okay! Let's go down!" Li Longji waved his hand.

"That'...... What about my scientific expedition?" Xu Chen never forgot to say.

"Haha, your teacher is the prime minister of the dynasty, can he still do this little thing?" Li Longji said with a smile.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty!oh, no!" As he spoke, Xu Chen made another serious salute and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Longen!"

"Hahahaha, you boy!

"Wechen retires!"

……

Xu Chen retreated and walked out of the main hall, and it didn't take long for Xu Fan to come out.

After the two of them left, Li Longji, who was on the throne, smiled, and was silent for a while before he said lightly: "General Gao, what do you think?"

Gao Lishi on the side took a charcoal basin, added two pieces of new carbon to the stove, poked the stove again, and replied: "This little doll has a smart force, and people are awake when they look at it!"

"It's rare that you can understand the general situation at a young age!

These few sentences are worth 100,000 yuan of silver!

"Hehe, you old man, do you accept money from people again?" Li Longji scolded with a smile.

Gao Lishi suddenly smiled stupidly, and replied honestly: "Shengming is no more than Your Majesty! Yes, this kid was stunned to say that the pension money for us is really unreasonable! Are we very old? We can at least serve Your Majesty for 30 years, okay? Just his words, we have to collect this money!"

"Hahahaha! You old man, you want to tease me, don't you?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty is happy, that's our duty!"

……

On the return carriage, the master and apprentice became quiet, Xu Chen did not speak, but just looked sideways at the scenery outside the window.

"Resentment in your heart?" Xu Fan's flat voice sounded.

Xu Chen turned around and shook his head slightly: "Due righteousness!"

Xu Fan looked at him, was silent for a moment, and sighed slightly: "I hope you have grievances!"

“……”

"Forget it, I'm glad you can stay! Although you must have your own business, since you are around, if there is anything to do, the teacher hopes that you will not carry it alone. ”

"......" Xu Chen looked up at him and bowed slightly: "Okay!"

"It's late today, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, come to the house to celebrate the New Year together!"

"Good!"

The carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two got out of the car, and after Xu Chen saw Xu Fan enter the mansion, he got into the car when he came, and the car had been parked in front of the door and never walked away.

It's over, and I don't need to mind the details.

"Big brother, you don't know! That drunken sound garden song is really ...... Tut-tut, that's wonderful!"

"Song, it's a girl who sings, right?"

"Hey, it's all the same! It's all the same! No good girl is ......"

"Alas!" Xu Junyi didn't pay attention, bumped into Xu Junzhong, and immediately shouted: "Big brother, what are you doing......?

Xu Junzhong's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he saluted in a panic: "Dad!"

"Daddy...... Dad!" Xu Junyi found that Xu Fan was standing in front with a calm face, and hurriedly cowered and lowered his head.

"It's so late, where are you going?" asked Xu Fan with a straight face.

"It's just Shenshi, where is it late?" Xu Junyi only dared to mumble in his heart.

"There are still a few payments outside that have not been sent, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, guys are waiting for the money for the New Year, today must be sent!" "In the end, he is a big brother, he has a lot of experience in dealing with his father, and he almost didn't blink an eyelid, so he made up a suitable excuse.

Xu Fan nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "In the future, this kind of thing should be done a few days in advance, and since it's late this time, send a decent red envelope to everyone!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the child remembered!" Xu Junzhong nodded repeatedly.

After the lesson, Xu Fan walked away, and when he was farther away, Xu Junyi took the eldest brother's hand and praised with admiration: "It's still the eldest brother who is clever!

"That's enough!

The two brothers walked a few quick steps out of the gate.

"Huh, strange thing! Where did the car go just now?" Xu Junyi looked around, but saw that the car that had been waiting at the door was gone.

"You, come here!" waved to a servant in front of the door.

"Second son!"

Xu Junyi asked, "Let me ask you, what about the car that has been at the door just now?"

The servant bowed and replied, "Not long after leaving!"

"Who's for it?" Xu Junyi asked.

"I don't know!" the servant shook his head.

"I don't know?" Xu Junyi was slightly startled.

"Yes, people I don't know. The servant replied.

"Don't know?" Xu Junyi was a little strange, and asked again: "Who is driving the car?"

"Also...... I don't know either. The servant replied cautiously.

"Don't know either?" Xu Junyi said angrily: "What are you doing to eat!"

The ...... servant could only bow his head and did not dare to speak.

"It's obviously a car in the house, is it possible that outsiders can still drive? How can such a memory work at the gate? Go! Get out of the kitchen and chop wood!"

"II...... Second son!Little ...... Little ......" The servant's face suddenly turned dead.

"Go aside!, and then go long-winded, and get out of Lao Tzu!" Xu Junyi said angrily.

"Okay, okay! What are you angry with a subordinate?" Xu Junzhong grabbed him and persuaded: "The car is gone, just have another one!"

"It's really unlucky! It's a cold day, and you have to wait!" Xu Junyi scolded.

……

The car was very stable, and it was the same as when it came, and it didn't take long to return to Dongshi.

Xu Chen got out of the car in front of the courtyard gate, turned his head and called the coachman: "You wait for me!"

As he spoke, he walked up the stone steps and asked the young man in front of the door, "Do you have any money with you?"

The young man paused for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly: "Bring it!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to Xu Chen.

The young men were not short of money, and their monthly share was sufficient, and there was basically no place to spend money, and this bag of about sixty taels of silver was also taken from the cupboard at will when he was ready to go out to eat and drink with his brothers at night.

Xu Chen weighed it, walked to the coachman and handed it over.

"This ......," the coachman hesitated.

"Take it with you on the road! If you are still in a hurry for the New Year, it should be a red envelope for you!" Xu Chen chuckled.

"......" The coachman was silent for a moment, then nodded and took it: "Thank you, eldest son!"

Xu Chen smiled and turned to enter the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Hao greeted him, glanced at the carriage that was turning around in front of the gate, frowned and asked, "Have you entered the palace?"

Xu Chen nodded: "Say it in the house!"

"Good!"

The two of them then walked quickly into the main hall, Wang Ce followed, and closed the door casually, and two teenagers immediately arrived at the door and stood quietly.

"How is it? Nothing happened, right?" Before he could sit down, Lu Hao hurriedly asked.

Xu Chen took a sip of hot tea and replied calmly: "What was expected, there was no accident!"

"That's good!" Lu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

I had a quarrel with Wang Ce in the morning, and when I went out, I heard that Xu Chen was picked up by the Prime Minister's Mansion, although it was expected, but it was still a little sudden, especially Xu Chen went alone, in order to be sure, the worst plan, Lu Hao was also ready.
