It's also Zhao Youlin himself who is stupid.

The last time Li Chengqian invited him to dinner.

He didn't even ask Li Chengqian's name.

Until now, he only thought that Li Chengqian was the son of a big family.

In his eyes, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is a fourth-grade official.

It was already difficult for ordinary people to see him, let alone ask about the failure of the imperial examination.

See his look of surprise.

Li Chengqian just chuckled: "Why are you looking at me with these eyes?" ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to ask the reason for the failure."

After speaking, Li Chengqian stepped forward and pulled Zhao Youlin straight to the direction of the palace.

……

The offices of the officials of the three provinces and six ministries are located in the imperial city.

And the guards of the imperial city already knew Li Chengqian, and when they saw him coming, they all saluted and shouted His Royal Highness King Qin.

At this time, Zhao Youlin reacted.

The person who dragged himself away was actually His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

At this moment, Zhao Youlin was almost so frightened that he sat on the ground.

Seeing his appearance, Li Chengqian was a little unhappy.

"I said, when you talked to me, what kind of bearing?"

"How did you know my true identity and become this death?"

Zhao Youlin's face was full of bitterness: "Your Highness, I'm here, I'm ......"

"Alright, don't let me go."

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "The top priority now is to ask why you fell off the list." ”

"You need to know where you're so you can take the test next year, right?"

After the words fell, he continued to pull Zhao Youlin to the compound of the three provinces and six departments.

……

Now, it is Li Baiyao who serves as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

To be honest, the attributes of this master and Li Gang are not much different.

During the Sui Dynasty, he assisted the crown prince Yang Yong, and then the result was obvious.

Originally, according to the official history, when he was named the waiter of the Ministry of Rites in the second year of Zhenguan, he would also be named the right concubine of the crown prince to assist Li Chengqian.

But that's the canonical history.

In this life, Li Chengqian has tried his best to avoid everything related to his previous life.

Therefore, Li Baiyao is also still a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

Li Chengqian was also in the Ministry of Rites and met this old man.

Wait until you are seated.

Li Baiyao asked: "Dare to ask His Highness why he came this time?" ”

"It's not a big deal."

Li Chengqian said straight to the point: "I just want to ask, among the candidates this time, is there one named Zhao Youlin?" ”

"Zhao Youlin?"

Li Baiyao thought about it for a while, and only after a long time did he suddenly remember the name.

"Your Highness asked, but Zhao Youlin from Stone Castle City?"

"Exactly."

"I've had a good conversation with this person, and it's not hard to see that this person is quite talented."

"With his talent, if he doesn't pass the spring, I can accept it, but the autumn is just true, and I can't say it."

"I'm just here to ask where he was dethroned?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "If Master Li can't give me an answer today, I'm afraid I'll doubt my own eyes." ”

Li Baiyao smiled dryly: "The minister can understand His Highness's thoughts. ”

"But Zhao Youlin's matter is still a bit complicated."

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Li Baiyao sighed lightly and said: "Judging from the eyes of the ministers, Zhao Youlin is talented, and the article is full of flowers and steel bones at the same time. ”

"Not to mention that it is the township test for the autumn season, even if the provincial test for the spring is handed in, such a well-written article can be on the list."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was even more puzzled.

"Then why, did he fall off the list in the autumn?"

Li Baiyao shook his head and sighed: "This is exactly the place to sigh......"

……

I saw Li Chengqian coming out of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Youlin hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Li Chengqian with an eager face.

Looking at that look, I obviously want to know why I fell off the list.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh.

He pointed at Zhao Youlin with a helpless face: "Do you say you're stupid?" ”

"When you criticize the government and those in power in your article, have you ever thought about your own identity?"

Li Baiyao told him clearly.

Zhao Youlin is talented, and his ambitions are true.

But his mistake was that he was too sharp.

And he also pointed his sharp edge at the filth and chaos in the court.

Li Baiyao also said.

If this article had been written by Li Chengqian, it would have been able to shock the world in one fell swoop.

But this article was written by him, Zhao Youlin.

Compared with Li Chengqian, the biggest gap between him and Li Chengqian is that Li Chengqian has a son who is the emperor.

How he criticized the government, how he targeted the family, and how he targeted the mess in the court.

has Li Shimin to support him, and no one can do anything to him.

But he Zhao Youlin didn't.

Anyone can see Zhao Youlin's talent, and those officials can naturally see it.

Let's ask in this world, who can tolerate such a talented person who wants to destroy himself to enter the court?

Li Chengqian, they can't move, can't they move a little poor scholar?

Therefore, on the day that Li Baiyao and the other two examiners reviewed the papers, no less than ten officials from the four grades of the court came to the Ministry of Rites.

Their purpose is the same, it is nothing more than to demand the deposition of Zhao Youlin.

Even this matter has caused trouble to Li Shimin.

Now, the Tang Dynasty Hall is in a very delicate period.

It is true that Li Shimin shocked the family with iron-blooded methods.

But also because of his iron-blooded methods, which led to the gradual resentment of the people and officialdom.

At such a time, no matter what the purpose, Li Shimin will not be on Zhao Youlin's side.

Therefore, this guy who has the same ambitions and ideals as Li Chengqian was given up lightly.

If Zhao Youlin is deposed because of his lack of talent.

Li Chengqian may not have such a reaction.

However, Zhao Youlin is still a talented person, and he is a person with the same ambitions and ideals as himself.

This is inevitable, which makes Li Chengqian think of himself.

If he wasn't reborn in Li Chengqian's body, he would just be an ordinary person.

I'm afraid that the final result will be the same.

Li Chengqian sighed, patted Zhao Youlin's shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, leave this matter to me." ”

"I promise, I will give you a bright future."

Hearing this, Zhao Youlin looked at Li Chengqian, with longing, incomprehension, and sadness in his eyes.

He said bitterly: "Now that Zhao has been deposed to the countryside, don't even think about it, where is there any way......

He bowed to the ground towards Li Chengqian: "But Zhao still has to thank His Highness for his kindness." ”

"If there is no His Royal Highness, Zhao will never know the inside story......

A person's failure because of his lack of knowledge and a person's failure because of his time are completely different meanings.

Zhao Youlin is the latter.

If he had been born in an enlightened age, he would have been able to do something.

It's a pity that he was born in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, such a chaotic era when all forces gathered.

Li Chengqian only chuckled, tilted his head and said, "Who said that there is no way to continue to take the spring exam?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Youlin looked at Li Chengqian, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Li Chengqian chuckled and said: "Don't worry, next year I guarantee that you can enter the Chunqiu examination room, as for whether you can win the list in one fell swoop, it depends on yourself." ”

"But there is one thing I have to tell you, if you want to achieve great things, you must learn to forbear, and you must understand what it means to accumulate thick and thin......"
