He Li hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"I've seen Chen Zhan."

Qi He Li's Chinese is a bit terrible, and the accent is very strong.

Fortunately...... At least barely able to communicate.

But Chen Zhengtai had already untied the cloak behind him.

Then he put it on the body of Qi He Li, sighed and said: "Brother doesn't have to be so polite, you came from afar, you are my Chen Zhengtai's guest, I know what you have encountered in the desert, the so-called failure is the mother of success, although he is defeated today, he will be able to slash the enemy one day." I have always admired the Qibi He Li brothers, and I can see you today, which is enough to comfort my life, come, come, come, please. ”

This kind of vulgar routine, placed in the Central Plains, has long been out of fashion, and it is basically the standard process of recruitment, and it is difficult to obtain other people's emotional fluctuations.

After all, if you play too much of any kind of routine, it will be boring.

But Qi He Li is different, he has never seen such a posture, seeing Chen Zhengtai draped the cloak on his body, and said things like long-admiring, his heart was overturned.

I couldn't help but think in my heart, this Chen Zhan still knows my talents? I'm in such a bad situation, and he still thinks so highly of me?

It is said that the landing phoenix is not as good as a chicken, since the defeat, Qi He Li has really tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and he has become sensitive in his heart.

But when he was desperate, he actually suffered such courtesy, especially when this cloak was draped on himself, as if it could withstand a tenth-level wind, which made his tall body feel like a haven.

At this moment, this rock-like man is actually crying, just learning the appearance of the Han people, and he can no longer restrain himself at this moment, I don't know Chen Zhanshi, he treats me like this, I never imagined that there are such heroes in the Central Plains.

So he fell to the ground and cried loudly: "The defeated person is like a lost dog, where can he afford Chen Zhanshi's love, and now he is under the fence, and he doesn't dare to expect to be able to take revenge, just to survive." Today, fortunately, Chen Zhan is so important, and he is willing to serve Chen Zhan, even if he is a caretaker, he has no regrets. ”

Chen Zhengtai was a little stunned when he heard him crying, and he had prepared thousands of IOUs in his sleeve, which had been prepared a long time ago.

Just wait for a while to directly launch the silver bullet offensive, where do you know, looking at the appearance of this Qi Qi He Li, even the money will be saved.

, no wonder there are so many Hu generals in Datang, it turns out that they can really save money.

Chen Zhengtai smiled, helped him up, and said movingly: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, can't do it, can't help it, my own brother, why do you bow down, in our Central Plains, only when worshipping the parents of heaven and earth." ”

He Li said: "After today, Chen Zhanshi is my parents, the former He Li of Qi is dead, and today he has suffered this catastrophe, and he no longer has the shame to claim to be a descendant of Qi Xu." ”

Chen Zhengtai invited him to sit down, Qi He Li looked like a gongjin, people are like this, after the ups and downs, they became unconfident and sensitive, and the unruly temperament on his body was all washed away, and people like Chen Zhengtai who reached out to help him when he was in trouble were very respectful.

Chen Zhengtai said: "This time you come here, I will protect you without worry, you don't want to take revenge, then it's okay, I can buy a mansion here, and give you a sum of money, so that you can live here in peace, from now on, to ensure that you have no worries for a lifetime, how about it?" ”

When He Li heard this, his face was both grateful and a little regretful, and he didn't know whether he should agree or not.

Chen Zhengtai then said: "However, if you don't want to enjoy yourself for a lifetime, it's not impossible, my Tang Dynasty will build a city in Shuofang, and I need a loyal and brave person to go to Shuofang to garrison for the time being, I don't know much about the things on the grassland, if you are willing to go, I will ask for an order, let the Son of Heaven give you a martial position, go to Shuofang to guard, but there is bitter cold, especially in the early stage, I am afraid that you need to suffer some hardships." ”

Qi He Li's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I want it too." ”

But...... He is still a little suspicious, this is a heavy responsibility, just leave it to himself, aren't you afraid that I will rebel?

It is normal for people to be guarded against when they were in the Tiele Department, when the Turks came to take refuge, although they also took in, they could also be guarded.

So he felt that Chen Zhengtai was a little incredible, and the responsibility of protecting the craftsmen and money and grain was handed over to him like this?

Chen Zhengtai slapped his thigh and said happily: "This is very good, just like that, you prepare a little, you bring some guards, in Chang'an City, recruit some warriors, and then you can set off, and Shuofang City will be handed over to you temporarily." ”

Chen Zhengtai still trusts He Li very much, on the one hand, he is now deep in the desert, if there is no one who can live on the grassland, it is difficult to gain a foothold, especially in the early stage. The Turkic people are not very credible, especially after the Turkic guy even took the opportunity to reach out to him to ask for food, isn't this taking advantage of the danger of others? Chen Zhengtai even wanted to emulate Li Shimin and cut this brother directly.

On the other hand, the historical Qi He Li is indeed a loyal person, since he took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, he can be said to be grateful to Li Shimin, and he followed the Tang Army around with a knife and slashed people, and made countless meritorious contributions, he thanked Li Shimin for his kindness, and when Li Shimin died, he fell ill immediately, and continued to write a book, asking the newly enthroned emperor Li Zhi to allow himself to give Tang Taizong a funeral.

Such a person, as long as he is willing to obey you, will die until death, and will not have any rebellious thoughts.

He Li listened to Chen Zhengtai's instructions, and there were countless emotions for a while.

This is the first time we met, people have eaten and drunk for nothing, and they value themselves so much, they don't dislike themselves at all because they are the generals of the defeated army, and they are entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, which is really closer than their own father.

He got up without hesitation, and had no more doubts: "I am willing to die without complaint for Chen Zhan's hound." ”

Chen Zhengtai was satisfied.

Now the Chen family's team is set up, Wen has Ma Zhou and Lou Shideren, Wu, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and this Qi He Li.

Ma Zhou needless to say, the real prime minister's talent, Lou Shide is both civil and military, and Su Dingfang is handsome. And Xue Rengui is better in martial arts, Qi He Li is different, this guy is born a tank, if he is used as a striker, and Xue Rengui is really a good choice.

With such a team alone, in the future, the Chen family will be in the desert, even if they can't call for wind and rain, it will be enough to protect themselves.

Of course, these people alone are not enough, therefore, there is a need for Erpigou University Hall, and only a steady stream of talents will be the guarantee of the Chen family in the future.

Chen's weakness in history is essentially due to a lack of talent, to put it bluntly, with a good platform, but without enough vision and talent, most of the qualifications are mediocre. Otherwise, don't say who you take refuge in and who will die, but how many people in history did not vote for Li Shimin at the end, and were valued by Li Shimin in the end, so they were radiant.

Just like that Wei Zheng, will it be better than the Chen family? But what are people like, and what is the Chen family like in history?

Therefore, Chen Zhengtai for his own people, they will be placed in all walks of life, slowly sharpened, since the qualifications are mediocre, then desperately grind, then there will always be a group of people out.

In this university exam, Chen Zhengtai is bound to win.

A month later, the county examination was finally over, and this time there were more than 50,000 children in all states of the world, which is a considerable number.

But then it's time for the state test.

Because the university hall has a special purpose, all students can directly obtain the qualification of children without going through the county examination.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhengtai began to encourage those students who were not originally from Chang'an to return to their hometowns to take the exam.

The remaining more than 100 people are still studying hard in the school.

By December 23.

The end of the year is approaching.

But all the children of the world arrived in the state capitals.

The tense state test has finally begun.

This kind of exam is especially important, because it involves the issue of gaining fame and fame.

Once they become talents, according to the edict of the Son of Heaven, these people can be regarded as the real elites of the Tang Dynasty.

The word fame is something that everyone can't avoid.

And the states obviously knew the movements of the court, so they naturally did not dare to slack off, set up examination rooms, strictly supervised, and unified the test questions, and the imperial court sent envoys in advance to send the test questions, but it was just ...... This test question needs to be opened directly in front of everyone on the day of the exam, if not, it will be regarded as fraud, and the punishment will be extraordinarily severe, and the three clans will be directly destroyed.

All the test papers will also be named, and then sent to all provinces in the world, and each province will have a special envoy designated by Li Shimin to mark the papers.

All in all, fraud is unlikely at the moment.

The university hall was also lively.

On the day of the exam, all the students who have been studying here for more than three months gathered together.

Three months, not too much, no less, may be admitted to the university hall, themselves have a certain foundation, plus the previous study, three months of targeted training, although no one knows the quality of this method, the vast majority of people are still not very optimistic.

Can...... At this time, everyone had already prepared the examination basket and pen and ink, and set off for the examination room in Chang'an under the leadership of the teaching assistant.

On this day, the eldest grandson was dizzy, and as soon as he came out of the school, it was as if he had seen the light of day again, and the exam was ...... He doesn't know much.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the teaching assistant will do whatever he asks him to do, he doesn't care, although he entered the university hall very late, but he also has advantages, that is, he has a deeper foundation than Deng Jian and others about "Analects" and "The Mean".

After all, although it grew crooked later, at home, more or less, there is still some understanding.

For these three months, he read books almost every day, although he didn't know what the use of memorizing these things every day, what was the point of doing questions every now and then, and constantly writing articles.

But in the school, it seems that people don't pursue meaning, because everyone is forgetting to sleep and eat, and even in dreams, Changsun Chong remembers what he is doing.

The examination in Chang'an was conducted in Guozijian.

At this time, Guozijian has been vacated, and countless candidates have begun to enter, Chang'an is the best place in Guanzhong after all, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are the most readers, and for the examiners, the pressure is also the greatest.

In order to show the importance of this examination, Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was sent here by His Majesty to preside over the state examination in Chang'an.

Dou Lukuan was actually reluctant in his heart, he was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and the specifications were too high, but because of the high specifications, he also knew that His Majesty's meaning was very clear, that is, to show the importance of the state test.

Therefore, he didn't dare to slack off, after all, there were too many candidates, and if there was any mistake, according to His Majesty's attention to this, he was afraid that he would have to teach himself to fall to the ground.

Guozijian here, renovated a lot of examination sheds, and after the candidates entered, they entered the sheds.

The eldest grandson Chong was among them.

He felt that he was already a little wooden, not as before before, although he was released, like a bird out of a cage, but in the process of rushing to the examination room, he saw the excitement along the street, but it seemed to have a feeling of being in a different world.

After a person gets used to a certain way of life, it is only a little difficult to change it.

At this time, someone struck the gong, and immediately after, the test questions were released.

The most important article title began to be released, and the eldest grandson Chong saw that the sign that was released read: "Lao Wu Lao".

As soon as I saw this, memories flooded into my heart in an instant.

In fact, this thing is hidden in the book, and it is a bit biased, ordinary people only remember the key points in the book, and they may not be able to remember where the four words came from.

But Changsun Chong is different, he recites these books every day, and he has long been familiar with them.

He immediately thought that these three words were from "Mencius, King Hui of Liang", and the original sentence was the old man and the old man; the young of me, and the young of man; The world can be carried in the palm of your hand.

I'm afraid that at this time, just looking at these three words, many people will begin to be confused.

After all, it is the first time to encounter such a problem, many people boast that they have read a lot of books, but it is useless to read, if you neglect these three words, then only these three words, you have no way to guess the meaning of the question.

And Mencius, the old man's benevolence and filial piety, there is no way to understand it.

You can't even understand the topic, what other article do you write?

With this alone, you can directly brush down seven or eight percent of people who don't have a deep understanding of the four books.

The eldest grandson Chong suddenly cheered up, and at this time he couldn't help but be in good spirits, his eyes were shining, I understand this question, write an article...... Me too...... I'm almost throwing up when I'm writing articles.

Changsun Chong's homework is all kinds of articles, and these articles are handed in, and they still need to be commented on, where are the good, where are the bad, what needs to be paid attention to, and he is scolded every day, even if he is a fool, he is enlightened.

So he closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then, leisurely, picked up his pen and began to draft.

Write the bones of the article first, and then pile up the rhetoric, this thing is also taught by teachers, specifically to deal with this kind of propositional article.
