Li Dahe has always been speechless about food, so even if he is a young brother Bao'er, he eats with his head bored and does not dare to squeak.

According to the old rules of the Li family's meal, it is casual to eat as much as you want, but all the meals in their respective bowls must be eaten, and not a single grain of rice is allowed to be left, otherwise, you will be scolded by the Li family's father.

Li Dahe is very good at scolding, and he never wears half a dirty word, but he can scold you to be dizzy and red-faced.

The words on the lips of this old man are that a grain of grain is a grain of blood and sweat, and wasting food is a curse from God.

At the end of the meal, the two brothers, Li Zhongyi and Li Zhonghao, held a tea cup in their hands and chatted with Li Dahe.

"Da Lang, this time I returned to Beijing, I am in charge of an idle position, and you just happened to recuperate at home for some time to make up for your body. In addition, it's time for Erlang to get married. For the father to be lazy, in the day, that is, the hospital and the family walk on both sides, our family has no relatives and friends in Kaifeng, and the face is narrow, Erlang's family affairs can be set by you. Li Dahe's opening made Li Zhongyi take aback.

Are you kidding? Since Cao was kicked out of the house by Li Zhongyi, Li Zhonghao has been extremely cold to him, and has repeatedly spoken viciously and hurt people.

Li Zhonghao has a cold face that ignores Li Zhongyi himself, can the daughter-in-law selected by Li Zhongyi be in his hands?

As the old saying goes, love the house and the house, and vice versa: hate the house and the house.

"Grandpa, the child wants to pass the "Jinshi" exam, and then decide on family affairs." Li Zhonghao had already preemptively expressed his attitude, which made Li Zhongyi secretly relieved.

Since a long time ago, Li Zhongyi has been adhering to the principle of not being a matchmaker for three generations. I don't want to get involved in other people's household chores.

The matter of a good couple becoming a resentful couple, Li Zhongyi has seen too much. It is inevitable that there will be some fears and avoidance.

For Li Zhonghao's face-to-face confrontation. Li Dahe was not angry, he just asked lightly: "Marriage matters, the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, when will it be your turn to speak?" ”

Li Zhonghao straightened his waist and said loudly: "After I am a famous doctor, when I am the younger brother of the prince of the court, if I am a jinshi, what kind of noble girl can't marry and enter the door?" ”

Yo ho. Li Dahe didn't seem to know Li Zhonghao, up and down, left and right, looked carefully, and didn't slap the table and scold him.

Li Zhongyi's attention was attracted by the younger brother of the county prince of the dynasty.

Well, in the past few years, sending Li Zhonghao to study in Guozijian has not been in vain.

Let's be honest. With Li Zhonghao's study background, if it weren't for Li Zhongyi's cheekiness, he asked Chai Rong to offset his military merits and exchange him for a place in the country. He really couldn't pass the guò entrance exam.

There are thousands of students in the world, but. How many people can enter the country's prison?

"Grandpa, the second brother has such an elegant ambition. Why don't you wait for him to get into the jinshi, and then help Zhang Luo? Li Zhongyi also wanted to take a look. How has Li Zhonghao learned in the past few years?

Since Chai Rong inherited the throne, the Great Zhou Dynasty has only opened Enke once, and only a dozen Jinshi have been ordered in total.

If it weren't for Chai Rong's early death, the Jinshi of the Great Zhou Dynasty would definitely have a much higher gold content than the Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty!

The reason is actually very simple, Zhou Chengtang system, especially the entry into the science department, and only more than ten people are taken in each subject.

After the death of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties were established by force, and there were few kings who attached importance to the imperial examination.

What's even worse is that before the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether it was the Later Liang Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty, or even the Later Tang Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty, most of these Central Plains courts were short-lived.

After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, due to the waste to be revived, Taizu Guo Wei did not take care of the imperial examination.

After Chai Rong ascended the throne, he attached great importance to the imperial examination and issued relevant edicts. It's just that his old man, like Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, belongs to the emperor and is a rare warmonger.

The emperor led the army to leave Beijing, but he "forgot" to decide on the candidate for the Zhigong Examination, and the imperial examination naturally stopped.

Chai Rong especially likes to be pro-conquest, and in the first three years of his succession, he fought dozens of battles in the Northern Expedition, the Southern Expedition, the Eastern Expedition, and the Four Expeditions.

After Li Zhongyi returned to the Great Zhou, Chai Rong did not have a personal expedition in recent years, but Li Zhongyi was tired enough, he was equivalent to Chai Rong's stand-in, and after the destruction of Goryeo, he moved to the Northwest Tuoba family.

When Li Zhongyi was far away in the northwest, Li Qiong sent letters to inform him that he was likely to open Enke this year.

Li Zhonghao deliberately mentioned the younger brother of the county prince, and Li Zhongyi also figured out that this second brother obviously wanted to use his power and favor to get the title of Jinshi.

However, the imperial examination in this era was not as strict as the later Ming and Qing dynasties, and the examination papers were not only not vague or copied, but also had to be handed to the dignitaries and nobles before the examination, so as to gain fame and increase the chances of the middle examination.

To put it bluntly, this kind of flawed imperial examination system is just an examination game that only the top powerful families are qualified to play.

Well, Li Zhonghao's reading situation, Li Zhongyi is not very clear for the time being, but he knows that Li Zhonghao's heart and eyes have made great progress.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Li Dahe stared at Li Zhonghao in surprise, when did his Erlang become so enlightened?

After Li Zhongyi quickly thought about it, he hinted with a smile: "Second brother, you just have to study with peace of mind, and you will do your best for your brother." ”

To be precise, Li Zhongyi belongs to a group of military meritorious nobles, but this group that wields violence has always been rejected by the civilian clique.

With Li Zhongyi's current status, it is easy to find a military position or a small civilian official for Li Zhonghao.

However, the title and resources of Jinshi have always been controlled by the prime ministers, who are the leaders among the civil ministers, and it is difficult for Li Zhongyi to openly intervene in them.

"Then thank you, big brother!" Li Zhonghao respectfully saluted Li Zhongyi for the first time, Li Dahe saw it, and couldn't help nodding frequently, there is a lot of joy that my son has grown up!

The two sons ended the Cold War, what could be more joyful than this, which made Li Dahe happy?

Li Dahe was happy in his heart, and ordered someone to bring wine, but he got drunk and let the little girl carry him out of the flower hall.

After Li Dahe left, Li Zhonghao whispered to Li Zhongyi: "Big brother, Wang Xuezhang already knew the news that you were about to return home. ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, Wang Xuehan, the foreman of the guard with a knife, stayed outside Chai Rong's imperial study all day long, how could the news not be well-informed?

"What's the relationship between you and Wang Xuezhang?" Li Zhongyi asked Li Zhonghao with concern.

Li Zhonghao explained with a smile: "On the eighth day of the first month of next month, Wang Xuezhang and Wang Xuehan's mother-in-law happens to be the sixtieth birthday, and the Xuchang Marquis Mansion plans to invite guests. Wang Xuezhang said that when the time comes, he will come to our house in person to place an invitation. ”

Li Zhongyi understood, the invitation was just a superficial statement, which was obviously a move by Xuchanghou to get closer to him.

Now, Li Zhongyi's idea is very simple, anyone who wants to associate with a wealthy family will not refuse.

As the old saying goes, multiple friends have many paths, and you must not learn the one-tendon method of Hantong.

After leaving the main room, Li Zhongyi returned to Suiyuan and saw Huang Jingsheng, who had been waiting for a long time, in the inner study.

"The situation in Jingshi is very bad." Huang Jingsheng's mouth is bad news.

Li Zhongyi knew the trend of history, but he didn't make a fuss, but quietly listened to the first-hand information from Huang Jingsheng.

After Li Zhongyi went to the northwest, the situation in the DPRK and China has undergone an astonishing change.

Now it is the sixth year of Xiande, and after accumulating a large amount of military funds, there are many speculations in Beijing that Chai Rong is likely to command the army and go on another northern expedition.

Zhao Kuangyin, who is favored, is now not only the envoy of the town, but also has successfully ascended the throne of the palace inspection, mastering the elite of more than 30,000 palace front divisions.

Han Tong, a reckless man, is already the commander of the guards, the pro-army, and the Ma Bu Army, holding the 80,000 forbidden troops after reorganization.

Zhang Yongde has always been suspicious of Chai Rong because of the rumors in the army, and now there are only 30,000 soldiers left.

Because the blood relationship with Guo Wei is too close, Li Chongjin's situation is even more unbearable. A few days ago, Li Chongjin was found a good reason by Chai Rong, and in front of the ministers, he severely reprimanded him, and now he is hiding at home and thinking about it behind closed doors.

On the side of the political affairs hall, the position of prime minister is still as stable as Mount Tai, and the authority in his hands is amazing.

Another prime minister, Wang Pu, wanted to return to his hometown to guard his father's funeral because he had been on the table four times in a row, but Chai Rong insisted on seizing love and made a very unpleasant scene, so he was dismissed as a minister and reappointed as a member of the Privy Council.

Li Zhongyi listened to Huang Jingsheng's explanation, and then suddenly realized that the reason why Wang Pu secretly colluded with Zhao Kuangyin and usurped the Chai family was the inside story.

"Liu Hongguang and Ma Yaoming, how are they doing?" Although Li Zhongyi often exchanged letters with them, after all, he was far away in the northwest, and for specific details, he still needed to explain in detail to Huang Jingsheng, who had been presiding over the capital plan.

Huang Jingsheng said with a smile: "The foolish brother has to drink and have fun with them every once in a while, and they often come and go with each other, and they are very close. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, except for Chai Rong, his prestige in the old broken army was naturally amazingly high.

"It's just that because His Majesty is determined to forge ahead and insists on reorganizing the forbidden army in Beijing, many of your old subordinates have been transferred to Han Tong's subordinates on errands." Huang Jingsheng smiled brightly while making an introduction.

Li Zhongyi knew why Huang Jingsheng was laughing, the more the seed officers of the old broken army were scattered, the greater Li Zhongyi's potential power in the army, the truth was relatively shallow, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

"During the days when you weren't at home, Erlang and San Lang of the Zhao family walked around the house very frequently, and often mentioned to the old lady how beautiful and virtuous the Zhao family's Xue lady was." This important information provided by Huang Jingsheng made Li Zhongyi's vigilance burst immediately.

"What did my father say?" Li Zhongyi asked Huang Jingsheng with concern.

Huang Jingsheng said with a smile: "When the old lady saw me, he deliberately took out this matter alone, and his old man's attitude was extremely resolute, and he didn't hire a wife. ”

Li Zhongyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Li Dahe was relieved, he would really not be able to deal with the upcoming sinister situation. (To be continued......) R1292
