When Li Shimin spoke, all the ministers were very quiet.

At this time, when I heard Li Shimin's sudden mention of the gambling contract, I couldn't help but be surprised, the emperor still bets?

So many people came to be interested, and they looked like they wanted to hear about it.

Chen Zhengtai in the crowd wanted to laugh in his heart, this is different from the emperor in his impression!

Shouldn't the emperor be like a god, like a puppet, always high, and then cherish words like gold, as if there is only divinity and no humanity?

This private gambling contract, the teacher also has to go around telling people!

Li Shimin raised his eyes at this time, and his eyes searched for Chen Zhengtai in the corner.

He looked at Chen Zhengtai, and the eyes of Hao Xianggui, the prince of Iiyama County, never left Chen Zhengtai, which made Chen Zhengtai feel that he was being remembered by a thief and was under a lot of pressure.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Chen Zhengtai, you come, you say...... I didn't mean that? ”

As soon as he said this, several imperial historians were eager to try, wanting to step forward to correct Li Shimin, how could he bet with others as an emperor, such a child's play.

But Li Shimin looked around with no one, only paying attention to Chen Zhengtai!

Chen Zhengtai, who was named in public, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Yes, the student remembers, there is a bet." ”

Li Shimin continued to laugh and said: "Zhu Qing must think that I and my disciples are having a child's play, this bet happens to be related to today's list, if one of the nine people cited by Chen Zhengtai is in high school, I will give him a military position, and then I will give him up for the crown prince." ”

When the ministers heard this, some of them burst out laughing.

The devil knows what kind of goods those nine people are, and there are such good candidates in Jinshike?

But...... One of the nine people, maybe it really made this kid hit the wrong one?

Chen Zhengtai was a little confused, and the gambling contract didn't seem to be like this.

To Chen Zhengtai's surprise, Li Shimin continued: "But if these nine people don't win, Chen Zhengtai promises to make a profit from three months of white salt in the palace for the construction of a new palace for the emperor." ”

"I ...... I didn't say that. Chen Zhengtai was anxious, and subconsciously said.

Your uncle, you still have to be shameless, did I say it?

This pit is a bit big! He still underestimated Li Shimin, if he knew this, he should have signed the note!

Li Shimin was smiling, and when he saw Chen Zhengtai denying it, he was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "Really? Maybe I'm mistaken, I'm getting older, and my energy is not as good as before. Anyway, if there is no such gambling contract, poor Zhenbai was happy, so he had to be wronged and wronged by the emperor, so that he could continue to suffer in this old palace. Hey......"

A long sigh revealed a melancholy that middle-aged people often have.

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Chen Zhengtai suddenly had a feeling as if he was committing a crime.

The Emperor Taishang's bad life has become my fault?

The change in Xuanwu Gate, Li Jiancheng was cut, is it also my fault?

Chen Zhengtai coughed: "Huh? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was standing next to Li Shimin, coughed and said, "Chen Zhengtai, don't make strange noises, be careful of losing your honor in front of you." ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "The eldest grandson is a wise man, the reason why I am like this is because it is a coincidence, after being reminded by His Majesty, I really remembered that there was such a gambling contract." ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin raised his thick eyebrows and said with a pleasant expression: "If you forget, don't worry, I'm just joking with you." ”

Chen Zhengtai said awe-inspiringly: "Teacher, the student remembers it clearly and clearly. ”

Li Shimin smiled.

For the sake of money, he is worried about gray hair, now the catastrophe is just around the corner, he has a lot of things to do, but the problem of the emperor must be dealt with immediately, and the father and son can't live in the same palace! The harem is a strict place, and there are many concubines of the emperor, if there is any gossip, it will be very inappropriate.

Although this disaster has passed, there is no grain growing in the field, and there is no money in his hands, Li Shimin is uneasy after all.

And the Turks are becoming more and more restless, and if they do not give a severe blow, they are afraid that as soon as winter comes, the people of the border towns everywhere will not be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart felt sad and indignant, I earned some small money in Chen Zhengtai's hands for the sake of the common people in the world, or when the treasury was abundant and the internal funds were full, I would find a way to reward him.

Li Shimin's heart turned back and forth, but he was silent, and then looked around and said, "I don't know how many people's children have participated in the imperial examination here?" ”

As soon as he asked, dozens of ministers immediately stood up, including Hao Xianggui, the prince of Iizamiyama County, who was also standing in the corner with Chen Zhengtai.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on one person, and he was surprised: "Does Lu Dalang also have children to participate in the imperial examination?" ”

This is called Lu Dalang by Li Shimin, it is Lu Chengqing, the Duke of Fanyang County, Lu Chengqing is from the Lu family of Fanyang, he is a descendant of the big house, and inherited the title of his father the Duke of Fanyang County.

He respectfully saluted Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the dog Lu Guangsheng took the Jinshi test this year. “

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Fan Yang Lu's family, a family of poetry and books, since the Eastern Han Dynasty Lu Zhi, the children of all generations have been eager to learn elegant literature, and their writings are rich, which is praised by the people of the time. Da Lang's son has participated in the Jinshi test, and he is expected to win. ”

Li Shimin didn't mean to compliment Lu Chengqing, but Fan Yang Lu's family, which is indeed famous, and I don't know how many Dr. Hongru have been born in the past few hundred years.

Lu Chengqing said modestly: "The minister ordered the dog to participate in the Jinshi test, just to sharpen his heart, Your Majesty boasted so much, but the minister was embarrassed." ”

Although he spoke modestly, he smiled calmly, as if he was winning.

Hao Xianggui, the prince of Iishan County, listened to his heart cold, he couldn't imagine that there were so many sons of the family who participated in the Jinshi exam, so my son was estimated to be cold, he had been staring at Chen Zhengtai, but now he was in a trance.

Lu Chengqing continued: "The Lu family only recommended dogs to participate in the Jinshi test, of course, it is not as ambitious as the Erpigou County Prince. ”

Chen Zhengtai didn't have anything to listen to, he only cared about the announcement of the results of the exam.

But Li Shimin's face flashed a trace of embarrassment, this is sarcastic Chen Zhengtai, but when I think about it, I feel that I am sarcastic about myself, hmph, this Fan Yang Lu is not a good thing.

Originally, Li Shimin called Lu Chengqing Lu Dalang as a sign of intimacy, but now his face was pulled and he was silent.

At this time, Li Shimin looked down from the city tower and saw that there was already a sea of people under the city tower, and there was an endless stream of people who heard the news.

Among them, there are naturally many people who participated in the scientific expedition, and in addition, there are many good deeds who have heard the news.

This year's list is the most interesting, and because of this, the scene is very grand.

Hao Chujun shuttled through the crowd, sweating like rain, and finally squeezed in front.

He looked left and right, but saw that on the other side, Li Yifu had also come, and several other classmates were nowhere to be seen.

Li Yifu greeted Hao Chujun with a smile.

After all, the two had gotten along day and night, and Hao Chujun also smiled at him, and after making friends with each other, although there were people around him, Hao Chujun couldn't help but say: "Did you receive the benefactor's repair book the day before yesterday?" ”

Li Yifu smiled bitterly: "I got it." ”

"How?"

"I replied and said I was sick." Li Yifu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid that this invitation to repair the book is a Hongmen banquet." ”

Hao Chujun heard that Li Yifu was not invited to Chen's house, he was relieved, and the guilt in his heart eased a little, his feelings for Chen Zhengtai were too complicated, on the one hand, he felt that this benefactor was not too bad, but on the other hand, this guy was a bit of a trick.

How did you recruit him!

Li Yifu paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "Brother Hao, you say, have we gone too far?" ”

"We have our future, so how can we risk our future to accompany the benefactor." Hao Chujun said expressionlessly: "I have planned, this time nine times out of ten will not be able to win, it is reported that many children of the family participated in this Jinshi test, at that time, I plan to pack up and go back to the old house in Anzhou, and study hard." What are the plans of the virtuous brother? “

Li Yifu drooped his head, thinking in his heart, do you still have a chance, you are just a poor family, if you don't win this time, will you continue to study?

Thinking of his father's ardent expectations and his unknown future, Li Yifu reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "Then find another way." Strange to say, I have not seen my benefactor for many days, and last night I dreamed of him. ”

Hao Chujun pursed his lips, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, yes, it's really weird, sometimes there are some misses!

But then he put on a straight face and said with a look of intolerance: "What do I gain from waiting in that school?" Although the benefactor also taught us a few lessons in the school, most of them were clichés, and I did not think he was clever. Virtuous brother, we are pursuing fame in order to help the world in the future, and we cannot be benevolent to women. ”

When Li Yifu heard this, he also felt reasonable, and he responded with a smile: "Yes, I listened to his class, and I didn't think there was anything clever. ”
