Chapter 318: Inviting Talents in Guanlin Temple (I)

On the third day of the third month of the third year of Xianheng, the dragon raised his head, and Gaozong issued a clear edict to announce the world, Li Xian, the king of Lilu, as the crown prince, and the Ministry of Rites had a division to choose a day to become a gift, and granted amnesty to the world, Kaienke, with the prince Li Xian as the main exam, and Hao Chujun as the deputy examiner. There are also several edicts, which have made major adjustments to the court members - appointing Li Zhen, the king of Yue, as the crown prince and the prince, and staying in the court to participate in political affairs; Jin Liu Renliang is the secretary of the ministry and participates in political affairs; Li Jingxuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, transferred the secretary of the household department and participated in the governor's affairs; Le Yanwei was transferred to the Ministry of Rites and participated in political affairs; Pei Yanjin Criminal Department Shangshu; Jia Dayin, the governor of the river, was promoted to the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the vacancy left by him was taken over by Fan Lubing; Hao Chujun is the right minister, and he is also the secretary of the military department, Pei Xingjian is still the left minister, and the rest of the departments have also changed, among which Lin Mingdu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is transferred to the household department; In the imperial history, King Luo Bin transferred the wine of the prince of the country; Serving the Imperial History, Lynch, Jin Imperial History, Zhongcheng, etc., it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a major reshuffle of the imperial situation.

Under such a big change in the court situation, naturally some people are happy and some are worried, in general, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and the Empress Wu obviously took advantage, and the newly appointed prince Li Xian also gained a lot, several of his hardcore henchmen have been promoted, and the rest of the outgoing subordinates have also been transferred back to the court, plus the courtiers who have come over to serve the wind, it can be said that they have made a lot of money, in contrast, Li Xian's situation seems to be a little unsatisfactory, although there are also very few examples of promotions such as King Luo Bin and Lin Mingdu, But many of the officials who came over from the former prince's side were squeezed out of the local government, and the scale of occupying half of the court suddenly shrunk.

Is it a loss? Maybe in the eyes of others, no, not only did the position of the prince not mix, but also was squeezed out of a large group of subordinates, even if these subordinates are just surrendered, loyalty is still difficult to guarantee, but in any case, not being able to keep the status of these loyalists itself shows that Li Xian has lost power, of course, this is just the opinion of others, for Li Xian, it doesn't matter how others look at it, Li Xian has his own calculations, and it will not be easier because of the views of others, in fact, in Li Xian's view, this toss, As far as those officials who have been squeezed out of the locality, if they can make some achievements in the locality, they will be talents worthy of great use in the future, if they complain about eating and waiting for death, it is also a disaster for these people to stay, and it is also a good thing to rush out early, besides, Li Xian really didn't move at all, how could he care about those small losses in the branches, What really bothered Li Xian was that Empress Wu took advantage of the great changes in the court situation to make a move, and successfully stuffed Wu Chengsi and other martial disciples into the sequence of court officials, although all of them are now gathered in the left and right Yulin Army, and they are not able to intervene in the government for the time being, but with such a springboard for the Yulin Army, it is already foreseeable for the Wuwu to participate in politics.

When the court changes, everyone is happy or sad in their hearts, or happy or sad, but for the people who came to Luoyang City to take the exam, it is definitely a great news - the prince must be, Enke can also be opened, Dabi is not delayed itself is a happy thing, not to mention that Enke also deliberately increased the proportion of admissions, from the original number of 100 people to 200 people, which means that the three thousand people have almost one percent of the possibility of entering the Jinshi, which is the largest move since the opening of the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for the approaching examination date, the people would not dare not grind their guns, but they were afraid that they would have the heart to march on the streets, even so, the articles praising Gaozong and the prince were also pouring into the Guozijian like a tide, of course, it is one thing to shoot the sycophants today, and I am more afraid that I want to rely on those worthless sycophant articles to leave a good impression on the examiners first, so that they can get a convenience on the occasion of the big competition, and this kind of spending a little money to do big things, The literati are very smooth, but not every man is keen on this, Xiangyang Zhang Cambodia is very disdainful of the small tricks of his peers, in the case of repeated persuasion of fellow travelers, Zhang Cambodia simply moved out of the inn rented by the fellow villagers, and hid alone in the Guanlin Temple on the outskirts of the city to prepare for the exam.

Guanlin Temple, was built in the Three Kingdoms, is the burial place of a generation of martial saint Guan Yu, because there are thousands of ancient cypresses in front of its grave, so it is called Guanlin, covers an area quite wide, there are many houses in the temple, although the incense is prosperous, but the backyard is a piece of clean, the waves are like a tide, the breeze is cool, it is the good to read hard, Zhang Cambodia and the temple in the host Qingyun Road has the old, to live here temporarily, since it is with the wishes, warm a pot of tea between the mountains and stones in the forest, hold a book, rise and read aloud, Xing and eliminate the shallow taste of tea, sit and watch the waves and clouds extinguish, really comfortable, No, the sky is approaching dusk, Zhang Cambodia still has no sense of return, lying on the mountain stone, chanting loudly: "Zi said: for politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place and the stars are ......"

"The gentleman is so interested, but so-and-so has a question: What is Deye?"

Seeing this, Zhang Cambodia did not get up to greet him, but squinted his eyes, looked at the comer, and quietly stretched out his hand and pointed to a big stone in front of him, which meant to let the comer take care of himself.

"Xiaosheng's surname is Li, Xingqi, Guanzhongren's family, occasionally swim here, see Mr. lying in the forest, extraordinary bearing, dare to come to chatter, and ask Mr. Haihan to be one." The white-robed scholar didn't seem to mind Zhang Cambodia's impolite behavior of being too bedridden, and walked to the front with a smile, brushing the hem of the robe, regardless of whether the stone surface was clean or not, he sat down cross-legged, bowed his hand to Zhang Cambodia, and introduced himself gently.

"Certain, Xiangyang Zhang Cambodia, Bai Ding, who has been ruining half his life, should not be called a gentleman, His Royal Highness the King of England, please take care of yourself, forgive Zhang for being rude." Zhang Cambodia stared at the white-robed scholar silently for a while, suddenly laughed at himself, and replied with a gloomy tone.

"Oh? Hahaha...... Mr. Zhang has ever seen Lonely? ”

This white-robed scholar is naturally Li Xian, the reason why he appears here is not to play in civilian clothes for a private visit, the purpose is to come to Zhang Cambodia - in his previous life, Li Xianneng was able to drive the Empress Wu off the stage, relying on the "change of the Dragon Palace" launched by Zhang Cambodia, for Zhang Cambodia's ability and character, Li Xian knows it well, when he found Zhang Cambodia's name from the list of registrations, Li Xian has already started to win his heart, but some time ago due to the involvement of the court, he couldn't act separately, As soon as the matter between the DPRK and China was over, Li Xian came to the door, of course, the reason why Li Xian was able to find people so accurately was all due to the secret forces led by Zhuang Yong "Ming Di", but he never expected that when they first met, they were actually revealed by Zhang Khan Yi, Rao is Li Xian was thick-skinned, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed, so he had to laugh out loud to cover it up.

"I often hear old friends talk about His Royal Highness, Zhang was lucky to see the portrait of His Royal Highness there, and he didn't dare or forgot it." Zhang Cambodia did not echo Li Xian's laughter, straightened his waist, sat up straight, slowly picked up the teapot that was burning on the small stove, poured a small bowl for Li Xian, and after making a gesture of "please", he replied slowly.

"Old friends? Portrait? Zhang Cambodia didn't explain, but under this explanation, Li Xian was a little more confused - Li Xian has limited attainments in painting, and he rarely paints on weekdays, let alone let people make a special trip to paint a portrait of himself, and he really doesn't understand where Zhang Cambodia said that the old friend got the portrait, and he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhang Cambodia suspiciously, waiting for his words to explain.

"Virtuous, the world is cloudy: loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, gentleness, courtesy, humility, in a certain sense, but straightforward." Zhang Cambodia did not explain who his old friend was, but answered the question raised by Li Xian at the beginning.

"Straight-hearted? Well, what a wonderful solution, if people have justice in their hearts, then they are virtuous, but there is another question in Lonely, for the sake of justice, can we take unrighteous means? Li Xian has the memory of three lives, in his previous life, he was full of poetry and books, and in later life, he read a lot of books, and he has seen strange theories from the Internet.

"Righteousness has a distinction between righteousness and small righteousness, which is beneficial to the community, for the righteousness, under the righteousness, it should be informal, however, it is not a last resort, it cannot be used in vain, this gentleman and the villain, what to abandon, only people choose it."

Li Xian's question is extremely tricky, and it has the legacy of the Jin people's difficult questions, but Zhang Cambodia didn't care at all, he didn't even have to think about it, and replied casually.

"A good person who does righteousness is not informal, Mr. is really talented, Xiao Wang took the liberty to come, just for one thing, Mr. is willing to help Xiao Wang to achieve a great cause through the ages?"

Li Xian knew that Zhang Khan was talented, but Li Xian in his previous life was a little sorry for the hero of the Ding Revolution, and as soon as he came to power, he demoted people out of the court, and naturally he would not make such mistakes again in this life, the reason why he was so anxious to visit Zhang Khan Zhi this time was that he also had the intention of making up for the debts owed in his previous life.
