In the first month of the month, Datang seems to have stopped running, the entire court is busy with the handover of work, the personnel change is so big, it is the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and finally at the first court meeting in February, all the institutions have been divided, everyone is sitting in the position, Li Jun nodded with satisfaction, but without Xiao Wangzhi, it can't help but be a little deserted.

Therefore, Li Jun's first holy decree was to seal 5,000 households to Xiao Wangzhi, and this holy decree was passed by the court without pressure, because everyone felt that they owed Xiao Wangzhi, so Xiao Wangzhi became the second marquis of 10,000 households in the Tang Dynasty.

After the court meeting, He Shen came to Li Jun's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, Gao Pei entered Yushan City last night. ”

Li Jun said with a smile: "A very interesting guy, there are seven days left to be Concubine Liao's birthday, and he will be arranged to enter the palace on that day." ”

"The old slave obeys." He Shen replied immediately.

At this time, Gao Pei was with Wang Zhen, and Zhou Gongjin had already sent a letter to inform Wang Zhen of Gao Pei's matter, so Wang Zhen also calculated his days and went to wait for Gao Pei outside Yushan City.

On the second day of February, Gao Pei finally came to Yushan, and when Wang Zhen saw Gao Pei, he performed a standard Confucian etiquette: "Senior brother see Senior Brother Gao, Senior Brother Gao has worked hard all the way......"

Before Wang Zhen finished speaking, Gao Pei gave Wang Zhen a bear hug, and then laughed and said: "Senior brother, the Central Plains is full of literary style, and senior brother can come here to study, although he has no regrets in death." ”

Wang Zhen said embarrassedly: "Senior brother has a good reputation, I don't know how my senior brother feels about my Datang along the way?" ”

Gao Pei pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Vibrant, Datang doesn't seem to be a country that has been established for a hundred years at all, but like a country that has just been founded, everyone is holding back their strength to struggle, and it is far from Goryeo, which is declining." ”

Wang Zhen clapped his hands and said: "Senior brother is really wise, Datang has just undergone a big change, Datang has lost the prime minister and the captain, replaced by the cabinet and the military aircraft department, even if it is such a big change, but now many hostile countries do not know it, this is the foundation of Datang, the junior brother is proud of himself as a Tang person." ”

"Haha, such a grand event should be revealed." Gao Pei laughed.

Wang Zhen spread his hands and said: "Senior brother, although the junior brother intends to invite you to drink, but Chang'an is so big, it is not easy to live, and the little money that the junior brother has already spent, and he is shy in his pocket, and he still needs the senior brother to solve the siege." ”

Gao Pei waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, money is something outside the body, let's go into the city now, go to the biggest restaurant in the city to drink and not get drunk." ”

"Haha, senior brother, please."

The two came to the largest restaurant in Yushan, Gao Pei pointed to the word "champion" and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, now Datang implements the imperial examination to select officials, which means that if you want to be an official, you must take the exam, and the first place in this imperial examination is called the champion." ”

"This method of selecting officials is hundreds of times stronger than the method of recommendation and recommendation." Gao Pei nodded approvingly.

The two of them found a window position on the third floor, Gao Pei looked at the surrounding scholars, and said enviously: "Senior brother, Datang is really a good place, there is no white ding, and a small restaurant is full of scholars." ”

Wang Zhen pointed to the window and said, "Senior brother, please look, that is Gantang, the holy place in the hearts of scholars." ”

Gao Pei suddenly became excited and said, "Senior brother, is Yang Xiong and Yang Shi inside?" ”

Wang Zhen replied with a smile: "Senior brother, Master Yang used to be in Gantang often, but now it is rare, Master Yang has just accepted the position of secretary of the school entrusted by His Majesty, and now he is also very busy, and he only comes to Gantang occasionally to give lectures, but senior brother don't worry, at the end of this month, our military academy will invite Master Yang to give a lecture, and when the time comes, I will ask Master Gao to intercede and take you in." ”

When Gao Pei heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, junior brother, a word is a decision." ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from under the restaurant: "Wang Zhen, I thought your kid had gone to Yuchun Tower again, it turned out to be here." ”

Wang Zhen immediately arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness King Lu is laughing, do you want to come up and drink two cups together?" ”

This person is King Lu, King Lu came to Chang'an to worship his ancestors, but because of the sorrel incident, he has been staying in Chang'an, because King Lu is an idle character, Li Jun is also busy all day long, and he has no time to care about him, so he sent him to Yushan.

In Yushan, whether it is in the military academy or in Gantang, there are peers who are about the same age as King Lu, and all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, and it is not harmful for King Lu to associate with such people.

King Lu is a self-acquaintance, since Wang Zhen invited, King Lu went up to the Champion Building, most of the people who came to the Champion Building knew this prince without a shelf, so there was an endless stream of people who greeted King Lu, and King Lu also responded one by one.

When he arrived at Wang Zhen's place, King Lu was not polite, he sat down directly and took a chicken leg and put it in his mouth, and muttered: "In the past few days, I have been eating vegetarian food with my mother in the palace, and there is no meat in my stomach at all, and I am about to lose a layer of oil." ”

Wang Zhen clapped his hands, and immediately added another pair of dishes and chopsticks to the hall, Wang Zhen filled King Lu with a glass of wine and said: "Lord Wang, I haven't introduced you yet, this person is the senior brother under the next, Gao Pei." ”

Gao Pei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Gao Pei sees King Lu." ”

When King Lu heard Gao Pei's name, he almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, this person you want to say that he is a mallet, he is not stupid, he still knows how to find a remedy after being deceived, and he is loyal to the country, but if you want to say that he is not stupid, he was fooled by Wang Zhen and almost became a beautiful talk for the ages.

So King Lu arched his hand and said: "Gao Pei, a good man, I will be lucky." ”

The title of good man confused Gao Pei all of a sudden, and Wang Zhen hurriedly explained: "Senior brother, it seems that you have really fallen into the eyes of my King Lu, and my junior brother has been dating King Lu for so long, and he has never received such a high evaluation from him once." ”

"Gao didn't dare to be." Gao Pei said ashamedly.

King Lu waved his hand and said, "What don't you dare to do?" This king has always admired people like Brother Gao the most, and Brother Gao's behavior is called saving the country by a phrase from Brother Huang. ”

Gao Pei said ashamedly: "Your Highness, it's really tormenting Gao, Gao is actually a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Wang Zhen said on the side: "Senior brother, you don't call yourself greedy for life and afraid of death, if you are that kind of person, then you will not come to Datang, in the eyes of the senior brother, the senior brother's move can be called a heroic husband's doing, unlike some people, who sell the country to seek glory." ”

"Wang Zhen, are you talking about Su Ji?" King Lu asked.

Wang Zhen nodded and said, "It's this person, such a villain, Wang Zhen will definitely let him cut him with a thousand knives." ”

King Lu also nodded and said, "When the time comes, I will count this king as one." ”

"Hmph, count me in, this bastard actually forced my father to almost kill himself." Gao Pei snorted coldly.

After that, the three young people glanced at each other, and then laughed at the same time, King Lu said with a smile: "This king and you are in temper, we will not get drunk tonight." ”

"Okay, don't get drunk and don't go home." Wang Zhen and Gao Pei replied at the same time.
