Early morning.

When the first rays of dawn fall into the earth, Chang'an City, which had been silent all night, is also revived, and the busy people on the stalls start a new day on the quiet streets.

Born in a prosperous and prosperous era, they enjoy the emperor's grace and heaven, and live a well-off life, but they have nothing else to ask for.

Li Changsheng has no habit of sleeping lazily, the sky is bright, he just gets up, not like the island life, there is no need to go to the sea to fish every day, but it is much more leisurely.

When he woke up, Long'er had already gone out, and Li Changsheng knew that the reason why she was so busy was for herself, looking for any news about the "Dragon Vein".

After taking the medicine, Li Changsheng, who had nothing to do, originally planned to go around the street, but when he thought of what happened recently, he dispelled this idea.

Thinking that there were less than two months left in the "Great Martial Arts Test", Li Changsheng promised King Tang that if he wanted to win the first place in the Great Martial Arts Test, he could not break his promise.

Therefore, Li Changsheng meditated, and then used the method of breathing to regulate the true qi in the body, so that it can wander in the five internal organs and six internal organs, which can achieve the effect of strengthening the body.

About an hour later, there was a knock on the door, and a message came from outside the room: "Guest, someone downstairs is looking for you." ”

In the middle of the meditation, when he heard that someone was visiting, Li Changsheng opened his eyes, restrained his true qi, and got up to open the door.

Li Changsheng asked, "Do you know who is looking for me?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "This person didn't say his name, but he was looking for you by name," and as he was talking, he saw that the guest had gone upstairs by himself, and the shopkeeper said, "Guest officer, it's this guest who is looking for you." ”

After that, the shopkeeper went downstairs.

The people who came, one old and one young, the old one was pale, the young one was lofty, with Peiyu hanging on his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, Li Changsheng was still suspicious, there were no acquaintances in the city, how could there be guests looking for him? But when he saw the two of them, his doubts were completely dispelled.

Li Changsheng knew them, and they had intersected.

At this time, Li Changsheng poked his head out, and after confirming that it was only the two of them, he invited the two into the room and locked the door.

Suddenly, Li Changsheng knelt on his knees and said, "Grass people Li Changsheng, knock on the saint!" ”

It turned out that the old and young were Qian Defa, the chief eunuch, and Li Muchen, the king of Tang.

"Get up! I don't want to go out on patrol, and I don't want to have any troubles, and the cumbersome rules in the palace are all exempted. Tang King Li Muchen said and played, and sat at the table.

"Thank you!!" Li Changsheng stood up respectfully, stood beside him, and asked: I don't know if the saint is here, do you have other orders?! ”

"What? Can't you come here without telling me to? Tang Wang said with a smile.

"The Holy Lord has misunderstood, you have a lot of opportunities, and you are actually bothering you to go out in person, there must be something important to say to the grass people?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and your kid is much smoother, not as strong as when we first met."

Changsheng smiled stupidly, as he said, he has indeed grown, and in recent times, he has seen too many people of all kinds, and he has also learned some ways to behave in the world.

Seeing his vigorous smirk, Tang Wang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Don't talk about it, I am here, there is indeed something you need to do." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know the country?"

That day, from the conversation between Mo Xinwu and Wenren Muyue, I heard that it was a very powerful royal school, and Changsheng said: "I know a little bit about it. ”

"Guozijian, since the founding of the ancestors, has been for decades, and has sent a large number of talents to the empire, and its contribution is indispensable; However, the ancestors had a rule that it was only open to the children of the nobility, but ordinary people could not attend school. Tang King Li Muchen said, "For this matter, I have been thinking hard for many years, and I am determined to break the shackles of the ancestral law, and use the situation of 'pilot enrollment' to allow children from ordinary people to enter and study." ”

"This act of the Holy One is a good deed for the people, and it should be promoted, so I don't know what it has to do with me?" Li Changsheng said.

His words were exactly what King Tang was thinking, and he said: "If everyone thinks like you, I won't be distressed." ”

"What does the Holy One mean?"

"There are many ministers in the court who have stubborn factions, they stick to the old ways, take the law of the ancestors as the root, in their eyes, anything that exceeds the ancestral law, they are treated as fallacies, and they refuse to emancipate their minds, which is really a headache."

No matter what dynasty or generation, modern or ancient, people with radical ideas are bound to be in the minority. Therefore, when Li Muchen promulgated this edict, he attracted a brigade of ministers from the DPRK and China, but there were very few supporters.

In their opinion, the reason for refusal is nothing more than "the law of the ancestors cannot be violated", for this reason, the king of Tang did not bother to speak, how could a group of old stubborns listen to anything else.

"I understand, the Holy Lord came this time to let me come forward and slap those old ministers in the face with practical actions?" Changsheng said with a smile.

King Tang folded his fan, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, you are the person I have chosen, and I want to use you to teach those old ministers a hard lesson." ”

"The Tang Dynasty is majestic all over the world, how can it go far just by relying on the shadow of the ancestors? Therefore, if I want to implement the new policy, I need to find someone who can carry the burden and cross the river. ”

As the king of a country, he needs to be responsible for the people of the world, and resting on his laurels will only make the empire fall down, Tang King Li Muchen knows it well, but the implementation of the new policy has never been smooth sailing.

The appearance of Li Changsheng gave him new hope. King Tang ordered someone to check his life experience, and he was blank, which was the perfect candidate for his own training of newcomers.

In fact, another reason for choosing Li Changsheng is that he has the same name as the deceased prince.

"Thank you, my little body is frail and sickly, not to mention carrying the burden, it is difficult to carry water." Li Changsheng refused.

"A person who can easily defeat even the Kunlun White Lion, looking at Chang'an City, you are the most suitable candidate." Tang Wang said.

Just when Li Changsheng excused himself, King Tang gave Qian Defa a look, and Qian Defa took out something from his arms and presented it to him.

Taking this thing, Li Changsheng frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Tokens!"

I don't know why this token is used, he looked back and forth, and wrote three words on the front: bad person.

"What is a bad person? How come I've never heard of it? ”

King Tang said: "Ordinary people naturally don't know, it's a secret matter of the court. The 'bad people' organization, which belongs to me, does not obey anyone's orders, is not bound by anyone, and its duty is to eliminate traitors, eliminate internal thieves, defend against foreign enemies, and protect the Tang Dynasty. ”

The bad guys, a group of people who walk in the shadows, are cleared by the empire, and there are not many members of the 'bad guys' organization, only twenty-four people, but they are the masters of the masters carefully selected by the empire and carefully screened.

Bad people?!

Li Changsheng muttered in his mouth, looking at the token in his hand, there was an indescribable solemnity in his heart, he was not used to being constrained by rules, and he liked the unrestrained life on Penglai Island.

Now that King Tang has thrown such a tempting bait, it is fake if he is not impressed.

From his expression, Tang Wang saw a hint of his heartbeat, the corners of his mouth raised lightly, revealing a strange arc, and said: "Help me do things, naturally I will not treat you badly, as long as you promise me, bad people welcome you to join?!" ”

Li Changsheng didn't rush to agree, he fell into deep thought, and Li Muchen gave him enough time to think about it. The most fundamental purpose of coming to Chang'an this time is to find the 'dragon vein'.

Unexpectedly, I got involved with the Tang King by mistake, if I joined the 'bad guy', then I would be regarded as an official in the court, although the process was slightly biased, but fortunately, the result was the same.

Despite this, Li Changsheng can't agree at will, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the ghost knows what Li Muchen'an's heart is, if he pits himself, he can't get out again when the time comes.

Half an hour passed, and King Tang asked, "How are you thinking about it?" ”

"Uh......"

Li Changsheng seemed to hesitate, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed back.

"You want to think about it, miss this village, but without this store, there are so many people in the world, and you are not the only one who can be used." Tang Wang said deliberately.

Yes, he is right, he missed such a good opportunity, and if he wants to look for it, he will be gone, besides, he is not the only person available in the world.

And Li Muchen did not issue an order to force himself to agree, unlike the last time, he forced himself to participate in the 'Great Martial Arts Test' with a holy decree.

"Alright then, I promise you." Li Changsheng responded.

Li Muchen showed a weird smile and said, "Very good, from now on, you will be the twenty-fifth person in the 'bad people' organization." ”

Li Changsheng didn't care how many people there were, what he wanted to know most was what Li Muchen was going to do by himself?

"I've promised you, shouldn't I tell you what you think? If you want me to wade across the river, you have to tell me the end, right? Li Changsheng said.

Ha ha~~!

Tang Wang's laughter came from inside the room, he waved the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "My requirements are very simple, you must get the first place in the entrance exam in half a month." ”

Only when the children of the poor families won the first place, and the Tang king was above the court, could he refute those die-hard factions and let them know that the children of the peasant family were no worse than the children of the nobles, on the contrary, they were stronger, and if they were cultivated, they would definitely become the mainstay of the empire.

"First place? Don't make a fuss, it's okay for me to fight, and in the literature exam, except for literacy, those 'who don't know' don't know anything. Li Changsheng said.

He has lived on the island since he was a child, and the reason why he can read and write is because Long'er taught him. He is not good at the world.

"It's okay, you still have half a month to prepare, and tomorrow I will send someone to send a few books, just memorize the contents of the books, and the entrance exam will not be a problem at all."

The endorsement is said lightly, but when it is really practiced, how can it be remembered in just half a month? The difficulty is conceivable.

"Can I still quit?"

"The eldest husband is hard to chase after the horse, and you have promised me, if you escape from the battle, is it a man's doing? If you admit that you are a coward, I will give you a leave. ”
