Chapter 4 My Son Is a Fool
It was almost dusk, and Li Zheng also walked towards his house.
That night, Qin Qiong took a pair of soldiers and horses and instructed the generals around him: "You go find a few villagers to come over first." ”
Such a large group of soldiers and horses entered the village, which immediately caused a lot of commotion.
The soldiers brought a few villagers, and Qin Qiong asked, "Where does Li Zheng live?" ”
"This general is asking about Li Daxiong's son?"
"Why do you still have a Li Zheng in this village?"
"No, he's the only one." The villager replied.
Qin Qiong turned over and dismounted, "Lead the way." ”
Some villagers discussed at home, "This Li Daxiong's son shouldn't have committed a crime." ”
"What can he do as a stupid boy? Li Daxiong is very good to us, if we change tenants, I don't know how to criticize us. ”
"What can you do to provoke so many officers and soldiers?"
……
The villagers were hiding in their homes, and they did not dare to go out when they saw so many officers and soldiers.
Hearing the shouting outside and the sound of his door being kicked open, Li Zheng got up sleepily.
Li Daxiong immediately went out and asked a few officers and soldiers who walked into the courtyard, "Is something wrong with the officials?" ”
Qin Qiong walked into this courtyard and looked at the person in front of her, "You are Li Daxiong?" ”
"It's the grass people." Li Daxiong replied.
"Where's your son?" Qin Qiong asked again.
Hearing the other party ask about his son, Li Daxiong looked flustered, "Is something wrong?" My son is usually more melon, whether he has committed a crime or not, it's all because I, the father, is not good at discipline, if you want to arrest me. ”
Li Zheng stood in the room and listened to Li Daxiong's words, and his heart was still a little moved, and he walked out of the room and said to Qin Qiong: "I am Li Zheng." ”
Seeing that Qin Qiong was about to step forward, Li Daxiong hurriedly stopped him and said: "The general's mistakes are all my father's fault, and the general will arrest me if he wants to arrest me." ”
The surrounding villagers also discussed, and some villagers thought that Li Daxiong's son was not a trivial matter, otherwise he would not have attracted such a large group of soldiers and horses.
"Your son didn't commit any crimes, and the old man has something to ask him." After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he picked up the thin Li Zheng and walked out of the courtyard.
Didn't commit an accident? Why did he take his son if he didn't commit a crime, Li Daxiong was just about to step forward to ask when he was stopped by a few soldiers, and it was useless to let him shout.
Li Daxiong looked at the soldiers holding torches outside the door, walking back and forth in his yard, "The child must bless Li Zheng in the heavens." ”
was slipped out of the village by Qin Qiongti, Li Zheng looked at him and said, "Why did you arrest me?" ”
"Are you Li Zheng? Are you studying at the Hongwenguan Bookstore in Chang'an? Qin Qiong asked.
"That's right." Li Zheng replied.
"Kicked out?"
"That's right."
Qin Qiong had been observing his expression, this kid was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of himself, and asked, "You are also on duty as a scholar in Hongwen Pavilion?" ”
"I said you're not finished, what do you want to do?"
Qin Qiong said solemnly: "Now that Datang is the time to employ people, do you want to be an official?" ”
"Being an official?" Li Zheng was puzzled.
"Yes, as an official, I can introduce you to Your Majesty and get you a position." Qin Qiong endured the excitement in her heart and finally found this kid.
In the future, if you accept him as a disciple and learn his own way of using soldiers, he will definitely be able to become a powerful general.
"I'm too stupid to be an official."
Qin Qiong stepped forward and stared at Li Zheng, who was half a body shorter than him, and said, "You are proficient in the Nine Chapters Counting Technique. ”
The Nine Chapters of Mathematics was at the level of primary and secondary schools in later generations, and Li Zheng understood what was happening.
Qin Qiong sat beside Li Zheng, looked at him and said, "The old man asked you again if you want to be an official?" ”
Li Zheng saluted slightly and said: "This general, I really have no interest in being an official, I am just a person with no ambitions, I just want to support my family." ”
Standing in front of Qin Qiong, Li Zheng said again: "The risk of being an official is too high in these years, one day I say the wrong thing, what should the emperor do if he sees that I am unhappy and chops me with a knife, my father is just my son, and I have to give him filial piety to the old man." ”
"Your Majesty is benevolent, not like you say." Qin Qiong said, thinking about it, because he was kicked out of the study, this child was already disappointed in the court and career, and turned his head and said, "Don't be an official?" ”
"Don't be an official." Li Zheng said firmly.
Qin Qiong stood up in disbelief, "Okay, the old man will ask you one last thing." ”
"General, please."
"How do you know the situation in Yinshan, how do you know about the discord between Obsessive Thinking Force and Jieli?"
"I said I was blind, do you believe me?"
Qin Qiong sneered and said, "Are you a fool to be an old man?" ”
Turning over the horse, Qin Qiong said to him: "If you change your mind, come to Chang'an to find me Qin Qiong." ”
Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "Goodbye." ”
When Li Daxiong saw his son coming back, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed him and asked, "Stinky boy, are you okay?" They didn't do anything to you, did they? ”
"Nope." Li Zheng shook his head.
Li Daxiong still checked Li Zheng up and down on the other side, and confirmed that his son was not missing a piece of meat, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "What did you say the general was looking for you." ”
"Looking for me to be an official, you want me to be an errand."
"Really? How can it be. Li Daxiong was surprised.
Li Zheng said lightly: "So I refused." ”
"Huh?"
"Hmm!"
Li Daxiong felt a little unreal, and pinched his face, "They asked you to go to the court to be an official, and you really refused?" ”
Li Zheng said: "What's so good about being an official, you can farm at home and be more comfortable." ”
"Hehehe." Li Daxiong suddenly laughed three times.
After being stunned for a while, Li Daxiong suddenly ran out of his house, chased after the soldiers and horses who were about to leave, and said loudly: "General, my son is a fool, he can't speak, give me another chance." ”
However, the soldiers and horses had already gone far and did not hear their own shouts.
After dawn, Li Daxiong sat at the entrance of the village with a numb expression, as if he was thinking about life.
A villager passed by and saw Li Daxiong, who looked decadent, and asked, "I heard that those officers and soldiers last night asked your son to be an official?" ”
Li Daxiong nodded blankly.
"It's a good thing, after being an official, our village has a long face together."
Li Daxiong covered his forehead painfully and said, "He refused." ”
"Why? What a good thing. ”
Li Daxiong wanted to cry without tears, "How do I know? ”
Another villager said: "If the court asks me to be an official, I can't wait for a fool not to go." ”
"It's not like that." Another villager said.
