"Brother Li, your empress is really lucky, and she can get ministers like you. "Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Yu's words sounded more like a compliment, but Li Xiuwen knew that this was his true words.

Li Xiuwen took a sip of tea and adjusted his state.

Only then did he speak, "The empress has the grace of knowing me, if there is no empress, there would be no Li Xiuwen today, the only thing I can do as a subordinate is to be strict with myself, for the people, for the family and the country, and dedicate my own strength..."

This was obviously unexpected by Li Yu and Shangguan Jing, the two of them looked at each other, and they both shook their heads undetectably, if they continued to talk about this topic, it would be better to tie Li Xiuwen and Tian Yuan more tightly.

"Yes, this is our duty as courtiers. Li Yu responded at the right time, and then directly diverted the topic, "By the way, Brother Li, I heard that you have full authority to handle everything in this scientific expedition, I don't know how to prepare?"

"I'm ready, and when the registration day ends, I can start taking the exam in a few days. Li Xiuwen didn't hide it from them, there was nothing to hide.

"At the beginning of this scientific expedition, it seems that Tian Yuan can once again sweep the sand and tap out countless talents. Li Yude's words were a little recognized, and there was some emotion and bitterness.

Li Xiuwen naturally knew that the helpless look in his words was not pretended, so he immediately asked, "Shangguan Gongzi, although I have lived in Tianyuan for a long time, I have also heard a lot of news about the change of the Northern Yan system, I don't know where I have reached now?"

Li Xiuwen asked very cautiously, after all, this is a big or small thing.

"The current Beiyan is still short of a spirit. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Jing replied very bluntly.

This made Li Yu on the side a little unexpected, after all, this is a major matter related to Beiyan, how can he confide casually.

But after thinking about it, the current Beiyan and Tian Yuan are in a cooperative relationship, but the relationship between this alliance can be maintained for how long?

Facing Shangguan Jing's answer, Li Xiuwen was obviously very satisfied, although the current Beiyan has solved the problem of talent fault, but these new officials are still too immature.

The only thing they can do is do their best work, and the rest are very tired.

In this way, the state of intensification is less energetic, and there is a feeling of inaction.

"It's a process that comes with a change. Li Xiuwen comforted very understandingly.

Shangguan Jing just smiled noncommittally, although he seemed as casual as possible, but through this smile, he could also feel his helplessness.

The next three people talked a lot, but they were all about the future development of Tian Yuan and Beiyan.

"Shangguan Gongzi, I don't know if I want to visit the empress on this trip?" Li Xiuwen finally asked the question in his heart.

I could only see that Shangguan Jing and Li Yu raised their eyebrows slightly, looked at each other, and did not answer for a while.

In the end, Li Yu opened his mouth, "Shangguan Gongzi and I are just wandering around this time, because we happened to pass by Tianyuan, so I came to say hello to Brother Li." ”

Li Yu said casually, but Li Xiuwen secretly cursed in his heart, such a simple lie, he really regarded himself as a child who didn't understand anything.

But he didn't make a sound, and chatted with them warmly.

It wasn't until the cook sent someone to spread the word that lunch was ready, and then the three of them came to their senses, and they didn't expect that most of the time had already passed.

Face the aromatic dishes one after another, even if there are only some home-cooked dishes on the plate.

"Shangguan Gongzi, Brother Li, I hope you don't dislike it. Li Xiuwen opened his mouth openly.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”

"Hehe, it's fine. ”

I saw that both of them waved their hands, with unhindered expressions.

"You two slow users, I have two friends who have come to visit me today, let me call them and dine with us. Li Xiuwen said and left.

It was as if he were giving an order rather than asking for the two of them.

After he left, Shangguan Jing and Li Yu were left just smiling bitterly and shaking their heads, a little helpless.

But I have to say that this Li Xiuwen is really a little stingy, this King of Beiyan came to the mansion, and he actually sent it away with a few home-cooked dishes.

In fact, Li Xiuwen left Shangguan Jing and the others for dinner, on the one hand, to keep a low profile, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble after going out, and on the other hand, he was thinking about Long Yanran and Xuan Daofeng.

You must know that in this way, the identities of both parties have the greatest guarantee that they will not be revealed, and you can also take this opportunity to have a good contact.

Thinking about it this way, it may be possible to explain why Li Xiuwen went to invite Long Yanran and the two to dinner together.

Out of the door, he walked a few briskly, and soon came to the study.

"Knock knock...", he didn't care that the people inside didn't make a sound, so he pushed the door and walked in.

"Empress, it's time to eat. Li Xiuwen opened his mouth and said, and when he looked at it again, Xuan Daofeng was also here at this time, which saved him from having to run again.

then said hello to the two, but from beginning to end, Li Xiuwen didn't say the identities of Shangguan Jing and Li Yu, he just told the two that there were two friends outside, and then the two followed him out to eat.

When they came outside, Shangguan Jing and Li Yu sat in their seats and didn't move their chopsticks, I don't know if it was because they disliked the meal or if they were waiting for them out of politeness.

When they saw Long Yanran and Xuan Daofeng appear, Shangguan Jing and the others stood up and smiled, looking very polite.

The latter, on the other hand, first showed a look of confusion, and then smiled slightly.

Long Yanran and Xuan Daofeng looked at each other, and they both saw the question in each other's eyes.

Because these two sons give people an impenetrable expression, they seem to be very hidden.

And Li Xiuwen was able to deal with this kind of person, which also made the two of them look at it a few more times.

Feeling this unnatural gaze, Li Xiuwen just chuckled lightly, and didn't seem to care.

Although it was the first time for the five of them to eat together, they quickly became acquainted with each other in the company of Li Xiuwen, the middleman.

"I see that Brother Lu has extraordinary behavior, and he is also preparing to participate in the scientific examination this time, right?" Li Yu looked at Long Yanran and asked.

After the previous conversation, Li Yu knew that this person's talent was not low, and if this kind of person could join Beiyan, it would undoubtedly be like a tiger with wings.

"Exactly. Long Yanran bowed her hand slightly.

"This brother..."The next moment, Li Yu looked at Xuan Daofeng, and stopped talking as he spoke, the meaning was obvious, he was asking about Xuan Daofeng's name.

After all, a person who can eat meat, drink a lot of wine, and show his sincerity in the scene of first acquaintance, whether it is that he doesn't understand human feelings or doesn't know how to be a person, it is worth taking a high look.

I have walked the rivers and lakes with a sword, but I have not forgotten my original intention.
