Chapter 72: Worth and Not Worth

But now she knew that the root cause of the inexplicable thought that pulled her to stop was still in this question.

If you can't ask in person, you won't feel at ease.

"Is it worth it?"

It was clear that he asked this question to Li Xingzhou in front of him, but somehow, after this question was asked, what appeared in Shangguan Wan'er's mind was the face of an old man named Shangguan Yi who had never seen clearly.

Li Xingzhou didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to ask this, and after pondering for a while, he really understood what Shangguan Wan'er meant.

"Is it worth it?"

Whether it is worth it or not, the answer should be very fast, but Li Xingzhou delayed for a long time, but Shangguan Wan'er did not have the slightest intention of urging him, as if he wanted to give him enough time to think, and seemed to want to have anything else to interfere with his answer.

It seems that the answer to this simple question is important and important to her

"Right?."

This is Shangguan Wan'er's question, Li Xingzhou thought for a long time on the way to see Wu Zetian in the palace city and had no answer.

That question has not yet been answered, but at this moment, Shangguan Wan'er asked such a question.

"Is it worth it?"

Asked gently, it weighed more than a thousand pounds.

Because it carries too many and too many heavy things, and many of them simply cannot be measured by simple gains and losses.

Throughout the ages, countless people have been asked, or have asked themselves, the question, "Is it worth it?" after making a major decision or action related to fate. ”

But the answer is always like a person who drinks water and knows how warm and cold it is.

After muttering for a long time, Li Xingzhou showed a light smile on his face.

"So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong"

"Huh?"

"Jiangdong's children are talented, and their comeback is unknown? Why did the overlord of Western Chu refuse to cross Jiangdong? Is his Wujiang self-slaughter worth it? ”

It's not an answer, but it's a good answer in this case.

But Shangguan Wan'er was very disappointed, and the Shangguan Yi that appeared in her mind seemed to be blurred again.

Once, he had been so vague in Shangguan Wan'er's mind.

Until today, when Li Xingzhou forced the blade of the sword with his flesh and blood in the imperial city of Xuanren Gate City, the Shangguan Yi, who had been blurred for many years, seemed to be a little clearer.

But now......

Turning around, getting on the horse, the five-flowered money horse snorted and began to walk forward.

What a weird woman

Li Xingzhou looked at Shangguan Wan's vigorous back, and was about to continue walking outside the palace, but he couldn't help but look back at the side of the peony flower belt.

He thought of Wei Hanshuang.

The woman who accompanied her all the way from Qinghe Road to Luoyang.

These things, those pictures flashed like marquees, and finally blended into one place, turning into a thunderbolt that exploded in Li Xingzhou's heart.

The so-called flash of inspiration is probably like this, and the question that I had been asking myself hard to get the answer to it before was realized at this moment.

It was at this moment that the chaotic thoughts in Xintian's mind broke like the moon, and they faded away in a blink of an eye.

Li Xingzhou's thoughts were thus understood. The pleasure of breaking through the obsession was so strong that Li Xingzhou couldn't help but sigh at Shangguan Wan'er's back.

"I'll tell you, it's worth it!"

"I'll tell you, it's worth it!"

Li Xingzhou's voice was already hoarse, but he blurted out at this time, which made his voice seem extraordinarily rough.

But because of this, it also makes his words sound very believable.

The speed at which the five-flower money horse had just accelerated slowed down, but Shangguan Wan'er did not get off the horse.

Shangguan Wan'er never turned back, so she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

After waiting for a while, I heard her speak again: "This time the scientific examination is reopened, regret... Good for yourself"

After saying this, the five-flowered horse snorted again and trotted up.

Shangguan Wan'er's figure also faded away, and finally disappeared after bypassing the rockery.

In less than half a cup of tea, another little yellow door hurriedly came over to guide Li Xingzhou, but this little yellow door's attitude towards Li Xingzhou was much better than the one sent away by Shangguan Wan'er before, so good that it was a little flattering.

Although Li Xingzhou was not used to being shown so close by a eunuch, the little yellow man was also wondering in his heart, this young man was the son of that family, and he could actually let Shangguan wait for the edict to personally arrange someone to guide him?

Except for those few people in the court, this is the first time in the world.

Xiao Huangmen hid a stuffy gourd in his heart and sent Li Xingzhou respectfully to the gate of the palace city, when Li Xingzhou was about to walk to the city gate hole in front, he saw a person dressed as a royal man greeted him, his attitude was still respectful, and he only said that he was ordered to send him home.

The man made the matter clear, and said, "The Shangguan will have something to explain when the edict comes to the car."

"Say it"

"It's better for Gongzi Li to go straight back to his home, if you need to go to and from the Gongyuan these days, it is also advisable to take a car, that is, to meet with Shiziwen, and it is also advisable to wait for a few days."

Hearing this, Li Xingzhou nodded.

Shangguan Wan'er meant that he should not say much before the imperial court reopened the imperial examination, and leaked the news first.

Although Li Xingzhou is neither a monarch nor a minister, he always knows the truth of making trouble with many mouths.

Shangguan Wan'er's explanation was obviously beneficial to him.

While nodding and getting into the car, Li Xingzhou was also puzzled in his heart.

Except for the previous collision and Bingcaisan's brief conversation, he really didn't have much to do with Guan Wan'er.

Not to mention friendship, how could she make arrangements for such a thing as Ma Mou that obviously revealed kindness?

Xuanche and Gonggong, all the way out of the imperial city.

I don't know if it was Wu Zetian's soft and hard hands that had an effect, or Di Renjie's prestige was too high, or the result of the two working together, in short, the torrent of Qingjin in the imperial city, which was once crowded, had dissipated.

At least from the immediate point of view, the Gongsheng rebellion, which boiled over the whole of Luoyang today, has subsided.

The carriage drove all the way out of the imperial city and out of Xuanren Gate.

Li Xingzhou, who was sitting in the car, opened a gap in the curtain of the car.

And behold, there were still some scholars gathered in the streets outside the city gate.

Among them, the young tribute students who stood at the front and kept looking into the imperial city.

It is vague that he had carried the statue of Confucius with him before.

And around these scholars, there are tolerances all over the red belly wrapped in soap clothes.

These people are still not leaving, and they are still looking into the imperial city, and nine times out of ten they are waiting for him.

Seeing this scene, Li Xingzhou was really moved and helpless, needless to say.

The helplessness lies in what to say to them at this moment?

Whether it is deception or concealment, Li Xingzhou really does not want to do this to these scholars.

In the end, I could only sigh.

Mountains and rivers meet, and after this scientific expedition, find a chance to talk about wine!

After making up his mind about such a mutual intention, Li Xingzhou never got out of the car, and even deliberately avoided the shadow in the corner of the car.

It's just that his eyes are always looking outside, racking his brains to remember as much as possible about the appearance of these people.

With the previous things, those who can still stay here at the moment and wait for him to come out are all people who can be friends!

Xuanche went all the way to Guiyifang, and after Li Xingzhou got off the car, he went straight to the fine house in the back garden.

Hearing his footsteps, Wei Hanshuang came out in response, still holding a piano sheet in his hand.

It's just that Li Xingzhou saw her trembling hand clearly.

With Sister Wei's temperament, knowing that she has entered the imperial city, it would be good if she didn't take a sword to kill her.

Li Xingzhou did not see the big bear and persimmon.

It is estimated that after knowing the news of his safety, he drove away from Sister Beiwei.

Seeing Wei Hanshuang and her spotless peach blossom eyes, Li Xingzhou's mood became more and more calm

After reaching out and rubbing the hair of the girl in the Liuyun skirt, Li Xingzhou let out a long breath.

"Come, Sister Wei, talk about the first song and listen to it"

After a while, the sound of the piano flowing slowly from the ashram was like water.

In this dusty piano sound like Wei Hanfrost's peacock eyes, Li Xingzhou slowly fell asleep.

The next day, without going out, he gave a hundred pieces of wine money and asked one of Wei Hanshuang's servants to invite a doctor to come back, and wrapped a thick layer of sticky plaster in a white cloth on both arms.

The doctor was busy, but Li Xingzhou was thinking about something.

Since he wants to help with the examination, then he will definitely not be able to participate in this reopened scientific examination.

There is no reason to both preside over the exam and enter the reference, but in this case, what is his situation?

What's next?

After thinking about it, he couldn't come up with a clue, and in the end Li Xingzhou simply didn't want to, let's do the matter in front of him first!

As for later, the boat to the bridgehead naturally straight.

After only one day of rest, on the morning of the third day, Li Xingzhou arrived at the Gongyuan in a robe that was wide enough to cover two wounded arms.

Needless to say, he came here for hire all the way.

After the name was known, the little official in the gatehouse of the Gongyuan politely guided him inside.

The silence in the tribute courtyard returned to the past, and Li Xingzhou stayed in front of the stone lion town beast for a while, and then deliberately looked at the hall of the Holy Ancestor before walking to the official room behind.

The wood-carved statue of Confucius has been restored to its original position. While he was looking at the stone lion and the hall of the Holy Prophet, the little official did not urge or say anything else.

In the official room where Song Zhiwen and Yue Ziqi stayed that day, Li Xingzhou saw Su Shi's distant ancestor and the world-famous "Four Friends of Articles" Su Wei.

After only one day of not seeing him, Su Weiwei, who was still a "beautiful demeanor" when he first saw him in the Miyagi chapel, became a lot haggard.

The corners of the eyes are red and the lips are dry, which is obviously a symptom of too much heart.

Seeing Su Wei like this, Li Xingzhou smiled shallowly.

Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er also knew what they knew.

What Shangguan Wan'er knew was "Su Moleng." ”

What Wu Zetian knows is "ambiguous hands." ”

What Li Xingzhou knows is the allusion to the commonly used idiom "ambiguous" in later generations, which is because of this Su great poet who can write poems, but also can write chapters, and knows the best way to be an official.

This great poet who dominated the literary world at the end of the early Li Dynasty has never made any political achievements worthy of historical records in his life, but he stubbornly relied on the unique officialdom secrets that are ambiguous in case of trouble, and went smoothly from a small official to the post of prime minister, and sat in the phase for seven years, as stable as a mountain.

Looking at his experience, I have to admire that this is also a true talent who understands the way of officialdom!

A person who regards ambiguity as the highest criterion has a thing that really can't be ambiguous, and Su Wei is not in a hurry to get angry to the point of being emaciated and thin, but it seems abnormal.

Seeing Li Xingzhou coming in, Su Wei didn't have a good face, and he didn't give up his seat.

Gu Zixian sighed before he said.
