When Empress Changsun heard this, she was full of surprise.

Of course, she had heard that the state test was not easy.

It is also clear that His Majesty promised fame and encouraged scholars from all over the world to take the exam.

But I didn't expect that even a mere talent would be so difficult.

And his own family's Chong'er happened to be hit.

Li Shimin was also overjoyed, of course he knew that Empress Changsun was unwilling to give too much preferential treatment to their eldest grandson family on the surface, but he also knew that Empress Changsun still paid great attention to the eldest grandson family deep down.

He accentuated his tone, and continued: "The important thing is thirty-one, Yongzhou is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and scholars are like carp crossing the river, and it is rare to stand out among them." I didn't expect Chong'er to have such a skill, it's really eye-opening. ”

Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing, and said with relief: "I used to worry about him, he was born in a rich family since he was a child, clothes to stretch out his hand, food to open his mouth, the concubine's brother, and he took him in his mouth like a baby, everything indulged him, although the concubine was in the deep palace, I had also heard of the stupid things he did outside, where did I know, he has now become the king of Chuzhuang, a blockbuster." ”

Li Shimin straightened his belly and just smiled: "Of course, this is also because he entered the Erpigou University Hall." The so-called close to Zhu is red, and close to ink is black. Guanyinwen, do you remember that a few days ago, I told you that Chen Zhengtai asked Chong'er to take the exam, did he deliberately want to make the eldest grandson's family embarrassed? Ay...... After all, I still want to go wrong, this is the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman. ”

Empress Eldest Sun looked overjoyed, and bowed her head: "Not only is Your Majesty like this, but it is also a concubine, and she also thinks like this, and I always feel that Chen Zhengtai is acting a little Meng Lang." Where did you think of ...... He is holding the pearl of wisdom in his hand, and he has been prepared for a long time. ”

Li Shimin also said that this time, the people who took the entrance examination in the Erpigou University Hall accounted for sixty or seventy percent of the students in Yongzhou.

Empress Changsun was stunned again, but she couldn't help but say worriedly: "Your Majesty, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, isn't Your Majesty worried about this?" ”

"Don't worry." Li Shimin said with a straight face: "What is there to worry about? The students who entered the Erpigou University Hall, there are everyone, there is a person named Deng Jian, I can't remember who this person is, but I feel as if I have heard of it somewhere, I read out his name today, this hall is full of civil and military, all of them are also at a loss, I want to come here is a child of the poor family, Guanyin, this Deng Jian, is the top of the Yongzhou State Examination, the original intention of the imperial examination is to recruit the sea and rivers, to let the world know, as long as you study, I don't care about the high and low, all give grace. As for his origins or family, it doesn't matter. ”

When Li Shimin said this, he sighed and said: "Now that I think about it, this Erpigou University Hall is not in vain, it can recruit a lot of children from poor families, let these people enter the hall to study, and can also educate them to become talents, not to mention that they are on an equal footing with the children of the Shi clan, and even better than the children of the Shi clan." In this way, it not only blocks the mouth of the world, but also allows me to recruit talents, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Li Shimin then said: "If someone is not convinced, they can take the test, if they can pass the Erpigou University Hall, I will naturally reuse them." If you can't pass the test, what else can you say, who dares to say anything to Chen Zhengtai and Erpigou University Hall? They want to do this and destroy Chen Zhengtai, so I will destroy them. ”

When Li Shimin said this, he was categorical and resolute.

Propriety...... I have already decided, under my rules, you can play however you want, but there is only one rule, you can't break the rules, whoever breaks this rule will be killed.

But if you have the ability to suppress Chen Zhengtai or the university hall within my rules, that is your ability, not only will I not be unhappy, but will praise it greatly.

Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone had settled in her heart: "Yes, there are no rules, there is no circle, to do great things, the first thing is to set rules, punish those who break the rules, and praise people like Chen Zhengtai." Erlang This is a good word, Erlang has this heart, and the concubines can rest assured. This Chen Zhengtai ...... Speaking of which, the concubine should really be grateful to him, his university hall not only provides talents for the country, but also solves Erlang's heart. Why isn't it a favor to the eldest grandson's family? ”

"Erlang...... The concubine heard that Princess Sui'an seems to have always been interested in Chen Zhengtai, although Princess Sui'an was born to Zhou Guiren and is not Erlang's daughter, but her personality is honest, and among the princesses, she is the best. As for Chen Zhengtai, he is Erlang's proud disciple, and the concubine thinks ......"

When Li Shimin heard this, he was also moved.

In fact, at this point, Chen Zhengtai is definitely going to marry the princess, and Li Shimin has been prepared in this regard.

Now that Empress Changsun brought it up, Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "Actually, I am also hesitating about this matter, originally...... I want to marry Changle to him, Changle's temperament, you know, she refuses to marry Changsun Chong now, that is, a few cows can't pull out, I am thinking, she refuses to marry, and then choose another good daughter of the clan to Chong'er. I am his uncle, and now that Chong'er has changed his temperament, how can I treat him badly? ”

Empress Changsun understood what Li Shimin meant.

He was hesitating.

I kind of want to marry Changle, but I feel that it seems to be more secure.

I couldn't make up my mind for a while.

Empress Changsun's impression of this Chen Zhengtai couldn't be better, and she also felt that if she could marry Changle, it would be better, but it was just because of the relationship between Sui'an and Chen Zhengtai.

After thinking about it, Empress Changsun sighed: "This matter, it is still necessary to make a decision early, Princess Sui'an and Chen Zhengtai have no guesses after all, if they marry Changle, they will be too sorry for her, she is a very honest character, and her temperament is also first-class, even Changle is not as good as her, this, the concubine knows it, and only blames Changle for being thin." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but blow his beard and glare: "What is Changle Fubo, even if you don't marry Chen Zhengtai, it should be Chen Zhengtai Fubo." ”

Empress Changsun smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, it's still Erlang who said it well." Okay, let's not talk about this first, the concubine is thinking, the New Year is coming soon, Chen Zhengtai has made a contribution this time, the concubine should thank him well, it is better to keep the New Year this year and invite him to the palace. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "He is my protégé, it is okay to invite him into the palace and participate in the private banquet in the palace, then I will make a decision, Zhang Qian, you write it down." ”

Zhang Qian was beside him, and he was shocked to hear it, opening a school, and there were so many preferential treatments. We have been eunuchs for a lifetime, and there is no merit and hard work.

Li Shimin then said: "There is one more thing...... The top person on the Yongzhou list this time is Deng Jian, well, the first person in this state test, what should it be called, it seems that Chen Zhengtai has been on a note, yes, it should be called the head of the case, he is the first head of my Tang Yongzhou, it should be to show his grace, pass on my will, appoint the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and go to his Deng family's mansion in person, no, just appoint Dou Lukuan, let him go in person, read out my reward, I want to give his mansion, build a stone workshop. ”

Li Shimin said, his eyebrows raised: "In this way, it seems that I attach great importance to this state test, so I have to bother Dou Luqing." ”

"Whoa."

…………

The will came out and was sent to the province of Zhongshu.

Here in Zhongshu Province, everyone is in good spirits, Fang Xianggong's son actually hit, and all of a sudden, everyone cheered up.

His Majesty wants to send someone to read the will of the head of the Yongzhou case this time, and he will also send someone to build a stone workshop, which seems to be extremely important to Zhongshu Province.

Of course, you have to pay attention to it, Fang Xuanling is not stupid, and his son is also one of the talents, although he is not as good as this Deng Jian, but His Majesty's preferential treatment of the head of the case is in itself to add color to all the talents in the world.

This Deng Jian is just a representative of the talents, and his son Fang is loved, naturally and honorably.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling attached great importance to it, and even disliked that the specifications were not high enough, so he personally drafted an edict and sent it to the palace for Li Shimin to see.

Li Shimin happily added the seal, and then sent it to the Ministry of Rites.

So Doulu led all the subordinate officials of the Ministry of Rites and began to make the trip.

When he got the will, Dou Lukuan was still relieved, and His Majesty had made the will, which means that he recognized the head of the case.

And the head of this case was admitted under his own examination, which means that the previous rumors of fraud have been completely broken.

He is still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has finally completed the state trial.

With a subordinate official, and let people play a sign, there are dozens of officers in front of the road, more than a dozen officials in the back sitting on chariots and horses, left and right are dozens of flying horse guards, the mighty procession, and then set off from the Ministry of Rites.

Dou Lukuan likes to do such things as icing on the cake, so he sat in the carriage and was in a relaxed mood.

As for the head of the Deng case, he was also looking forward to seeing him, after all...... He was personally admitted, and if this son can travel thousands of miles in the future, of course, he will have something to do with it.

The subordinate officials who followed were also very happy, it was difficult to come out for a walk, generally such an errand was very generous, maybe the other party could stuff a little money.

Of course, they don't value this bit of happy money, mainly to enjoy the process of this great joy, just like someone else gets married, and they go to join in the fun, and when they enter the cave house, they can listen to it under the wall, which is also a beautiful thing.

…………

"Ahem......"

In one room, there was a constant coughing sound.

As soon as Deng Jian entered the house, he immediately pinched the medicine he had grabbed, hurriedly went to burn firewood, and boiled the medicine.

Immediately, he entered the wing.

In fact, it is said to be a side room, but it is just a firewood room.

Deng Jian's family lived in Erpigou, where the displaced people were originally settled, because they were in a hurry to obey the power, so the displaced people built some houses for their own living, and this large area was where the displaced people were originally resettled.

Of course, some people have gradually begun to move out of here, after all, the salary here in Erpigou is not bad, if there are more strong men in the family, they can save some money and improve the living environment.

But the Deng family is different, this Deng Jian wants to study, how much it takes some money, the family is thin, only the father and son are two strong men, after Deng Jian was admitted to the school, the family has one less strong man, although in the university hall, some subsidies will be given, but this subsidy, after all, is a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, the burden of the whole family fell on Father Deng.

In order to let Deng Jian study with peace of mind, Deng's father worked several jobs almost every day, had some money, and saved desperately, and did not dare to spend anything indiscriminately.

Therefore, in this vicinity, even in the resettlement of displaced people, the Deng family belongs to the most embarrassing group of people.

This time, he finally took a break, Deng Jian returned home, and he didn't dare to delay at all.

Every day from morning to night, he worked part-time jobs outside, saved a few dollars, and then bought medicine and came back.

When his father saw him come back, his body had been dying and upright, but he couldn't stand it all of a sudden, and finally fell ill.

Therefore, in this firewood room, in addition to a dark and damp musty smell, there is also a strange smell from the residue.

Deng Jian carefully held the medicinal soup and arrived at the straw-paved bed.

Father Deng, who was lying on the straw, coughed desperately, opened his eyes tiredly, and said in a weak voice: "Are you back today?" ”

"Yes, don't worry about the adults, the Dong family is good, they know that I am studying in the university hall, and the adults are sick again, urging me to go back early." Deng Jian served Deng's father and drank the medicinal soup, and then said: "Mother will not return until half an hour...... If the adults feel hungry, I will go to the stove first. ”

Father Deng seemed to be unable to stand the bitterness of this herb, frowned, and waited for a mouthful to drink it all, before he spit out a long breath of turbidity: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, don't eat so early at noon, eat early, and you will be hungry at night, you ...... Ahem...... If you are at home, but you don't study, and you go to work part-time all day long, you will waste your studies. ”

Speaking of this, Father Deng stared at Deng Jian with his eyes, with love in his eyes, but also a little worry.

He continued: "In my life, the most gratifying thing is that you can enter the university hall, on weekdays, whether in the workshop or in the neighborhood, I heard that you are studying in the school, I don't know how envious you are for your father, but when you enter the school, you should study hard, and if you read the book well, it is filial piety." ”

Deng Jian lowered his head, held back his tears and comforted Deng's father: "Don't worry, my lord, I am memorizing texts in my heart while working." ”

Father Deng smiled bitterly and said, "This is different, where is there a person who can become a talent while working?" Although many people envy you for entering the school, there are also people who are thinking about other things in their hearts, saying that our Deng family is so poor, why do we still go to study, and reading is not the business of people like us. You...... Ahem...... You have to fight for it. I'm ...... Sickness, it's not a big deal, it's already an old problem, a day or two off, that's it, but I can't live with the owner, now the workshop is working overtime, a lot of goods are urgent, it just so happens that at this time, I am on leave, how many things have to be delayed......"

As he spoke, he coughed again.

……………………

There are still more than six hours, even if the month is over, don't waste it if you have a ticket in hand, whether it is to vote for someone else, or to vote for the tiger, of course, it is better to vote for the tiger! After all, the tiger is also an ordinary person, and he also needs a lot of encouragement and motivation, and he needs everyone's recognition, thank you!
