"In the past Jin Dynasty, there was an emperor, who was old and had no heirs, and was anxious, and then he was happy to have a son, and he was happy, and feasted the ministers with soup cakes, and during the banquet, there were good officials who got up and thanked him: 'The ministers congratulate the saint on getting the son, and we are ashamed to receive it without merit!' The emperor said abruptly; 'What a word! How can this matter make the secretary and others meritorious? 'Is it not pleasing to a person who seems to be like this, who does not discern the situation, and who is indiscriminately sycophant?' Hahaha......"

Maybe it's because Luoyang is approaching, or maybe it's because he gets along well with Li Xian, Li Xian's mood is really good, and he has changed his steady temperament in the past, and he actually said a joke without taboos - since Hanguguan for a while, Li Xian and Li Xian, the two little brothers, are in the same car and eat together, and they talk about everything, and they have similar political views and close relationships, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are milky/blended.

"Haha...... should the sixth brother also have the desire to make meritorious contributions? Hahaha......"

Li Xian has experienced people, just listen to the beginning of Li Xian's joke, he knows that Li Xian is talking about the Jin Yuan Emperor and his minister Yin Xian's interesting story, I don't think this joke is funny, originally, when the later generations mixed officialdom, Li Xian has never heard any kind of jokes, if he really wants to talk about this kind of joke, it will be three days and three nights can not be finished, and each one is a hundred times more wonderful than what Li Xian said, but in order to be able to make a match with Li Xian, although there is no smile, Li Xian still does not hesitate to laugh, not only to laugh, I had to make fun of Li Xian.

"If you get it, why don't you make a contribution, hehe, don't you want the seventh brother?" Li Xian laughed and grimaced, and cross-examined Li Xian.

"Little Brother ......"

Li Xian wanted to have a good relationship with Li Xian, and he was happy to talk and laugh with him, but when he heard Li Xian make fun of himself, he couldn't help laughing, and just wanted to have fun again, when he suddenly felt that the carriage had stopped, and he couldn't help but stop.

"The two highnesses of the North Gate Bachelor Li Shi and Yan Chaoyin greet King Lu and King Zhou!"

As soon as Li Xian's words stopped, a high-pitched voice sounded not far away, which made Li Xian and his brothers a little dumbfounded, neither knowing what this North Gate bachelor was, nor understanding how these two so-called bachelors had no common sense of etiquette at all, and they didn't even see the face of the little brothers, so they roared and reported the door, this kind of behavior is rude to say that it is light, and it is serious, but it is overstepping.

"Seventh brother, this North Gate Bachelor is ......"

Li Xian frowned and thought for a long time that he didn't understand when such an institution came out of the DPRK, so he had no choice but to turn his inquiring eyes on Li Xian.

"Little brother doesn't know, sixth brother, I'll find out when I see him."

Li Xian doesn't know the foundation of the North Gate Bachelor, but Li Xian knows it in his heart, not only a number, but also a deep hatred, just because this North Gate Bachelor is a murderous knife in the hands of the Empress Wu, in the previous life, the Empress Wu gathered a large number of shameless civil officials, known as the North Gate Bachelor, to cause trouble to the dynasty, until the time when the Empress Wu ascended the throne, the ministers who were framed by this group of shameless people did not know how many, Li Xian did not suffer less from these rogue literati, and still remembered it, and his heart was still angry, of course, It was impossible for Li Xianzi to talk about such a secret, so he could only pretend to shrug his shoulders ignorantly, and replied disapprovingly.

"Okay, let's take a look."

Li Xian thought about it, and didn't think it was a big deal, so he didn't talk too much, nodded in response, and Li Xian lifted the curtain of the car, and got off the carriage, Li Xian saw this, and followed silently, before he landed, and saw a large group of low-level officials surrounded by two middle-level officials The middle-aged man serving was standing in front of the Wuli Pavilion next to the road, with a tall face and a round face on the left hand, and three locks of long beards fluttering in the wind, quite a gentleman's spirit, and a person in the right hand was of medium stature, with a white face and short beard, and a reunion like a rich man.

Sure enough, it's these two vicious dogs! Li Xian only glanced at it, and he had already recognized the roots of the two middle-aged officials, the tall one on the left is Li Shi, and the fat one on the right is Yan Chaoyin, both of whom were born in the Hanmen Jinshi, three years ago, they were originally low-grade people in the middle of the court, just before Gaozong came to Luoyang this year, both of them were only nine-grade officials, but now they have actually put on the clothes of six-rank officials, and this promotion speed is only the fastest since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but this is not the reason why Li Xian dislikes these two, What really makes Li Xian crooked is the meaning of these two people appearing here!

Is it a demonstration or a deterrent? I'm afraid it's both, this martial queen is really not worrying! As soon as Li Xian saw Li and Yan, the two most shameless of the Northern Gate Scholars, appear in Wuli Pavilion, he had already vaguely guessed the intention of Empress Wu to send them to greet them, but he did not intend to remind Li Xian, but watched silently and coldly.

"Li Shi (Yan Chaoyin), a scholar from the North Gate of Xiaguan, welcomes the two highnesses at the behest of the queen." Li and Yan waited for a while, but they didn't see any reaction from Brother Li Xian, so they had to take a step forward and report to their homes again.

"I'm tired, I don't know why the official of the Ministry of Rites didn't see anyone coming?" Although Li Xian had supported Empress Wu in the matter of Feng Chan Taishan, he still had opinions on Empress Wu in his heart, and when he heard that these two so-called bachelors were sent by Empress Wu, the dislike in his heart immediately swelled up, but it was not good to attack on the spot, so he frowned slightly and said.

It is normal for Li Xian to ask this question, but in front of the two bachelors from the North Gate, he will inevitably be suspected of scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk, and sure enough, as soon as Li Xian's voice fell, Li and Yan's faces changed a little, and they quickly glanced at each other, and they both saw the color of resentment in each other's eyes, but in front of the two princes, they could not tolerate the two of them to act recklessly, and no matter how much anger they had, they could only endure it in their hearts.

"Your Royal Highness, it's not too early, the queen is still waiting in the palace, I don't know if your two highnesses still have orders?" Yan Chaoyin's temperament was obviously smoother than Li Shi, and although he was also annoyed that Li Xian had no one in his eyes, the smile on his face quickly appeared, and he asked respectfully with a smile.

"Humph!" Li Xian's heart has always been very high, although his bearing has been much calmer than usual these days, but after all, the country is easy to change, and his nature is really difficult to change.

"Sixth brother, it's really inappropriate to let the queen mother wait for a long time, it's okay for you and my brother to set off here." Li Xian didn't want to see Li Xian lose his share because of his scheming with such a little person, so he interrupted in time.

"Well, that's fine." Li Xian didn't put the so-called Beimen bachelor on the heads of Li and Yan in his eyes at all, but he couldn't help but give Li Xian face, this time he heard Li Xian's words and reminders, it was not good to be angry again, but he didn't give Li and Yan a good look, he snorted indifferently, flicked his sleeves, turned around and got into the carriage, let alone greeting Li and Yan, he didn't even look at the two.

"There are two adults who come to greet them, and Brother Xiao Wang is grateful, and ask the two adults to lead the way, Xiao Wang is here to thank you." As the saying goes, it's better to offend a gentleman than to hate a villain, these two in front of him are full villains, although Li Xian is not afraid, he doesn't want to offend him plainly, since Li Xian sang blackface, Li Xian naturally had to sing redface.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness, please!"

Although Li and Yan have now become among the ranks of middle-level officials, they are actually newcomers in the DPRK and China, except for such a backer as the Empress Wu, they really can't talk about having a very foundation, and what they need most at this time is the respect of others.

"There are two adults."

Li Xian politely returned the salute, nodded with a smile, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

"Seventh brother, what is this North Gate Bachelor? Why are you so foolish, huh! Li Xian was really dissatisfied with Yan Chaoyin's oppressive words after taking martial arts, and sat in the car with a black face, silent for a while, until the carriage started, and then he couldn't help but say a word.

"Sixth brother, the younger brother doesn't know what's going on, I guess it's just a new institution set up by the queen mother, and as for the rest, the younger brother doesn't dare to speculate." Although Li Xian knew the intention of the Empress Wu to set up the North Gate Bachelor, and also knew the purpose of such an institution, he did not intend to break the truth so early.

"Nonsense, the court institution is a social heavyweight, how can you do it for child's play, I really don't know the ...... of my father" Li Xian has now regarded Li Xian as a reliable confidant, and naturally he has no scruples when he speaks, not only criticizing the nonsense of Empress Wu, but also sweeping Gaozong into it.

"Sixth brother, father Emperor Shengming, he will have his own opinions!" Li Xian didn't want Li Xian to criticize Gaozong too casually, so he interrupted Li Xian's words with a solemn face.

"Humph!" was interrupted by Li Xian like this, and Li Xian also realized that his words were extremely inappropriate, but he didn't want to admit his mistake in person, so he snorted angrily, and his cold face was silent.

Tsk, sample, the temper has not changed much at the bottom! When Li Xian saw Li Xian's annoyed look, he couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart, but he didn't want Li Xian to be jealous, so he smiled and nodded: "Sixth brother, such a bastard thing as the bachelor of the North Gate is really unpleasant, but I'm afraid that someone is more disliked than you and my brother, if the sixth brother really wants to deal with it, but he doesn't have to go out in person, why dirty his own hands and let others plan it, you and my brother just play the side drum." ”

"Playing the side drums? Ha, the seventh brother can really think about it, so good! Li Xian was not stupid, but he understood the meaning of Li Xian's words as soon as he heard it, and he couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth, first smiled slightly, and then couldn't help laughing......
