Chapter 329: The Banquet of the Son of Heaven

Zhang Qian said, and returned to Li Shimin's face to resume his life.

Li Shimin was looking at Song Shu, Zhang Qian didn't dare to disturb, and only stood aside quietly.

In his busy schedule, Li Shimin raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Qian, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and he said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Qian lowered his eyebrows and said: "Then Wu Youjing, the slave has ordered someone to invite him, and he will enter the palace to meet His Majesty the day after tomorrow." ”

"Oh." Li Shimin didn't take this too seriously, this was just a small thing for Li Shimin, as the emperor.

However, Zhang Qian suddenly mentioned it, and Li Shimin said: "I heard that this person is very famous now. ”

"Yes." Zhang Qian said with a smile: "Baiqi also said the same thing, saying that many clans have intersected with him, saying that he is good at learning and has high morality, and people are flocking to him. ”

Li Shimin only smiled faintly: "How can you see whether your character is good or bad?" ”

"Your Majesty, the court used to recruit him, but he refused to accept it, which in the eyes of the people of the time, it was natural that he did not want fame and fortune, and many people said that he was a real celebrity." Zhang Qian told the story.

When Li Shimin heard this, his face was slightly strange.

Obviously, as the Son of Heaven, he doesn't like this kind of atmosphere very much.

You read a book, you are talented, the court wants to use you, you refuse to accept it, you refuse to be an official, and as a result, everyone praises it, what is this?

Once such an atmosphere spreads, those who study will refuse to enter the court, so who will rule the world for the monarch's father?

If such people can be praised by people, then wouldn't those who sell fame and reputation just take advantage of this to gain fame?

Li Shimin said lightly: "Can this be called morally noble?" I also thought that the so-called great virtue should be reported to the country and the people, just like people like Fang Qing and Zhengtai. ”

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "The slave thinks the same way, it's just ...... After all, people in the world can't see clearly, and most of them regard this as a model for those who don't produce and refuse to enter the office, relying on some ink in their chests. ”

"This wind can't last." Li Shimin said unusually calmly: "The atmosphere of the Wei and Jin dynasties is really misleading the country and the people, and what I want in the Tang Dynasty is talents who have helped the people through the world, not such people who talk about it." ”

"In that case, then invite him into the palace?" Zhang Qian looked at Li Shimin cautiously.

Li Shimin did not hesitate, and said: "Please all the invitations, why do you want to break your word and get fat?" The last time I saw him, I didn't have any dealings with him. That being the case, let's see what kind of talent this person has. ”

Zhang Qian's head was raised: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Zhang Qian knows very well that he has planted a seed in Li Shimin's heart, and next, just wait for this seed to take root and sprout.

He has been by His Majesty's side for a long time, His Majesty's temperament, he understands, he should not say too much at this time, Your Majesty is such a smart person, once he talks too much, it will make him seem to be saying bad things about people, it will be counterproductive!

Two more days passed, and the day of the release of the list finally arrived.

At this time, it can be said that everyone is looking forward to it.

And Chen Zhengtai attaches great importance to this big exam, and wants to follow the students to see the list.

Who knew that he was taken away by the palace, he couldn't help but regret it, it seems that His Majesty is also looking forward to it!

Therefore, he prudently set up a banquet in the Taiji Palace, and was also waiting for the results of the list.

So early in the morning, the genius was bright, and Chen Zhengtai put on his court clothes and boarded the carriage.

The carriage was two-wheeled, after all...... Before delivering the twenty four-wheeled carriages to the palace, it is better not to take the four-wheeled carriage yourself, it is too ostentatious!

So he entered the palace painfully all the way, and in front of this palace gate, many ministers had already come.

Everyone didn't pay much attention to him as usual, but Fang Xuanling greeted Chen Zhengtai kindly.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji also came up, and said in a low voice: "Is Chong'er okay in school these days?" I don't know how he is doing with his studies? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is full of expectations, his son is already a talent, if he can be promoted, he will be at ease as a father!

With the identity of lifting people, coupled with the family background of the eldest grandson's family, the future is great. Originally, he didn't expect much from Changsun Chong, he just hoped that he wouldn't lose his family and thank God! But now that there is hope in my heart, the whole person is different.

In this big exam, the eldest grandson Wuji is tossing and turning every day, waiting for the list to come out, hoping that his son can be on the list.

Fang Xuanling is different, Fang Xuanling is more calm, but now that the eldest grandson Wuji asked, he couldn't help but prick up his ears, wanting to see what Chen Zhengtai said.

Chen Zhengtai had no choice but to say with an embarrassed face: "This, this...... Is Changsun Chong also in school? Ah, I almost forgot. ”

Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"

This is a bit unconscionable, a few days ago, there was a fight! Turn your head, you forgot about it?

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said: "The eldest grandson can rest assured, when he enters the university hall, he will be able to keep to himself, let alone study, and wait for the list to be released later." I, Chen Zhengtai, am not bragging, and all the university halls are talented......"

Eldest Sun Wuji felt that these words were not nutritious, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart.

However, Fang Xuanling thought in his heart, Chen Zhengtai said this, didn't he deliberately want to show that he treated all the students in the school equally, and he would not be particularly favored just because he was the son of the Fang family or the son of the eldest grandson.

This kind of education may not be without benefits, his son is spoiled too much at home on weekdays, and only Chen Zhengtai's study may be able to make people become talents.

He couldn't help but say in his heart, Chen Zhengtai really has a set.

Fang Xuanling smiled and looked at Chen Zhengtai, looking like I understood.

This made Chen Zhengtai a little bit of a monk, confused, why did Fang Gong give him such a look, it's so strange!

…………

At this time, Wu Youjing had also arrived.

It's just that...... To everyone's astonishment, Wu Youjing was wearing a mourning dress.

This mourning dress entering the palace is very unlucky.

And Wu Youjing is completely like no one else.

Many people have admired Wu Youjing's name for a long time, and they greeted each other with Wu Youjing.

Wu Youjing smiled on his face and talked with him cordially.

Dou Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had an old relationship with him, and greeted each other for a while, and Dou Lu Kuan said worriedly: "Has anyone in Brother Wu's family died?" ”

Wu Youjing sighed quietly: "It's not that someone in my family has passed away, but that Wu is mourning for the context of the world." ”

When Dou Lukuan heard this, his heart was shocked.

He couldn't help but admire Wu Youjing.

Mr. Wu's words are very wonderful, but they are quite a bit like the seven sages of the bamboo forest.

And he dared to say that such a mourning dress to enter the palace for an audience, just by today's behavior, is enough to enter the annals of history.

This Wei and Jin relics also.

It's just that as a minister, when encountering such a thing, he still needs to have some avoidance, so he smiled slightly and didn't ask any questions.

The others were already talking about it, and they couldn't help but look at Wu Youjing, feeling that this person was very energetic, looking forward to it, and there was a fascination in their hearts.

Chen Zhengtai wanted to roll his eyes at this person's behavior, and he didn't bother to pay attention to such a neurosis, to be honest, that is, his cultivation was good, otherwise, when he saw this dog thing, he would have to beat him up.

At this time, the palace gate finally opened, and the ministers entered the palace one after another.

All the way silently to the Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin has been waiting here for a long time with great interest, and today he is going to release the list, and he wants to show the mentality of the monarch and the ministers to be happy together, and wait for the list to be released together.

In this way, it shows that he attaches great importance to this talent ceremony.

When the ministers rushed in, waiting to see one person, he actually came in in a mourning dress, Li Shimin's body was stiff, as if he had lost his breath all of a sudden.

“……”

But I saw the person in mourning clothes, with the appearance of a big horn, and his gestures, all with a free and easy appearance.

So Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Qian, and there was no blame on his face, as if to say, why should such a person be put in the palace?

Zhang Qian lowered his head and didn't dare to come out.

and the ministers saluted.

Li Shimin's gaze fell on the man in mourning clothes again.

"Who is Qing?"

"Grass people Wu Youjing." Wu Youjing came out with a sigh.

It turned out to be Wu Youjing.

The last time I saw Wu Youjing, Wu Youjing was beaten so much that he didn't even recognize his own mother, and now he ...... It's a complete change.

Li Shimin was even more unhappy in his heart, and said lightly: "Someone in the Qing family died of illness? ”

"Not at all."

Li Shimin's face became even colder: "If no one dies, why do you wear linen and filial piety?" ”

"The grass people are mourning." Wu Youjing said very calmly

"Mourn what?" Li Shimin asked with a frown.

"Mourn my Tang Dynasty, there are no more scribes, only a group of parrots and opportunistic people."

When Li Shimin heard this, his face suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but be furious.

Fortunately, in front of hundreds of officials, Li Shimin can still endure it.

It's just that at this time, the officials were in an uproar.

They had apparently heard the overtones.

This Wu Youjing said that he is parroting, opportunistic, nine times out of ten...... It's the reader of Erpigou University.

Isn't this just for Chen Zhengtai?

So someone frowned.

Some people have the mentality of a good deed.

There are also people who frown and feel very happy.

Li Shimin pursed his lips and said lightly: "Is the Qing family going to be grandstanding?" ”

"The grass people don't dare." Wu Youjing said angrily: "The minister just felt it." ”

Li Shimin only sneered, and then ignored him.

In fact, there have always been such crazy births, such as the Eastern Han Dynasty's Youheng, isn't that the case?

However, such people often regard themselves as celebrities and are very sought after by the world.

And to deal with such a person, Li Shimin has his own way, that is, ignore him.

Countless tables have been prepared.

The officials took their seats.

Wu Youjing saw that Li Shimin no longer asked, and he didn't seem to panic, his face was still as usual, and he sat down unhurriedly.

Chen Zhengtai coincidentally sat with the eldest grandson Wuji, and when the eunuchs brought the fruit, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Chen Zhanshi, come, I'll peel an apple for you to eat." ”

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said: "You're polite, you're polite, I'll cut it for the eldest grandson." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and bowed his head.

Chen Zhengtai suddenly woke up to the fact that he seemed to have been tricked! Your uncle, said that he wanted to cut me, but in fact, he sat still like an uncle, which was obviously deliberately polite, and then waited for me to serve you, uncle.

Chen Zhengtai simply didn't move.

So you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, look very plastic.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a piercing cry from the temple.

The kings and ministers were stunned, and they all looked towards the source of the cry.

I saw Wu Youjing lying on the desk, crying loudly.

Li Shimin looked at it, and obviously lost his patience at this time.

So he asked: "Why did Wu Qing cry?" ”

Wu Youjing said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister who is crying at this time is a scholar in the world. ”

"What happened to the people who read in the world?"

Wu Youjing was choked up at this time, and opened her mouth, but she seemed to be so excited that she couldn't speak.

The ministers couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Zhengtai and eldest grandson Wuji both sat on the side, looking at each other coldly!

To be honest, Wu Youjing's acting skills are still good, but the character he wants to show makes Chen Zhengtai feel as uncomfortable as eating flies.

Wu Youjing finally calmed down, and then said with a crying voice: "All the scholars in the world want to be able to serve the imperial court, so they study hard in the cold window, and they dare not abandon their studies for a day, and Your Majesty has ever thought about it...... These scholars who were full of wealth were beaten at will, and they dared to ask Your Majesty...... If in this world, even scholars have no dignity, who will serve Your Majesty? ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he snorted coldly: "The Qing family may have meant something. Fighting between the readers......"

"Your Majesty." Wu Youjing suddenly shouted: "It's basically that the scholars were beaten, so why did the scholars fight among themselves?" Are those people in Erpigou University Hall also worthy of being called scholars? Why don't your majesty go to the market and ask, in this world, who doesn't talk about the university hall, they all regard it as a joke, in the eyes of the grass people, the people who teach in the university hall are just a group of parrots, how can they be called scholars? ”

These words...... It's like pulling X on Chen Zhengtai's head.

Li Shimin stroked the case with his hand, his arm couldn't help but tremble, and he only smiled and said nothing.

Of course, Wu Youjing's words are actually quite recognized by many people.

In their opinion, those poor children cultivated by Erpigou University Hall are indeed not worthy of being called scholars, and some people even feel suspicious of their identity as scholars.

Wu Youjing immediately said: "Your Majesty sincerely invites the grass people to enter the palace, and the grass people can see the face of the sky, which is really a lifelong blessing." The grass people are dying, and when they see Your Majesty, they should have said something about the peace of the world and the clear waters of Haiyan, so as to please Your Majesty. There are just some heartfelt words that have to be said. In the past few months, many talents have been hanging beams, and they have studied hard every day, just to let Your Majesty see what a real scholar looks like. ”
