Tong Guinu now really wants to see Li Rizhi, as the chief eunuch, he is extremely loyal to Empress Wu, and the same is true for the crown prince Li Hong, and now, the person who is most in line with the heart of Empress Wu and the crown prince Li Hong is this Li Rizhi.

Tong Guinu also knows very well that Li Rizhi has entered the eyes of Empress Wu and the crown prince Li Hong, so Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner, Li Rizhi is one of the youngest Jinshi, and his future is unlimited, maybe he will reach the peak of civil officials and become the ruling prime minister.

Now that he has a good opportunity to sell, of course Tong Guinu will not give up, if he can't seize such a small opportunity, then how can he become the head of the inner court!

At this time, Tong Guinu was not very busy, he put down what he was doing, went to the palace gate in person, and saw Li Rizhi waiting outside.

Li Rizhi saw Tong Guinu come out in person, and immediately let go of most of his heart, he was so valued, then it must be a good thing, and this good thing should be related to His Royal Highness the Prince, as for what kind of law, this has to wait for Tong Guinu to solve his doubts.

As soon as Tong Guinu came out, he smiled at Li Rizhi and said, "Come, come with this supervisor to see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to say to you." ”

Li Rizhi was more relieved, but he couldn't help it, and he had a little expectation, he asked: "Chief Manager Tong, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for me?" ”

Tong Guinu said: "You are the youngest among the undergraduate jinshi, well, in fact, the second youngest jinshi, this is very remarkable, this shows that your talent is the second in the world, although it is far away from the first in the world, very far, but at least it is much stronger than other jinshi, very much, so you say that talents like you, His Royal Highness the prince wants to meet you, and then talk to you!" ”

Tong Guinu said a lot of verbosity as if he was talking about the password, and Li Rizhi listened to it inexplicably, Li Rizhi thought: "Why does this sound so awkward, what is far, far away, and there are many, many things, it doesn't sound like praising me, but like praising the first place!" ”

Li Rizhi followed behind Tong Guinu, entered the East Palace together, and went straight to the Chongxian Pavilion to see the crown prince Li Hong.

Li Hong is a relatively homely person and doesn't like sports, which has a certain relationship with his poor health, but although he doesn't like sports, he likes to read, and he reads quite well, and his articles are of a very high level.

But this is just compared with his peers, after all, the crown prince Li Hong is still just a teenager, to say how profound his articles are, how pragmatic they are, in fact, it is completely impossible to talk about, but the rhetoric is gorgeous, but the rhetoric is first-class, if you look at this point alone, then Li Rizhi, the "second in the world", is really far, far worse than the prince Li Hong.

Tong Guinu led Li Rizhi all the way to the outside of Chongxian Pavilion, on the way, he didn't say anything to Li Rizhi, some things he said in advance would be boring, or the crown prince Li Hong said it, it would be more meaningful.

When he arrived at the gate of the hall, Tong Guinu turned around and smiled: "Li Jinshi, you wait here, the prison will go in and say hello, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will soon recruit you in." ”

Li Rizhi immediately arched his hand and said: "There is a general manager of Lao Tong." ”

Manager Tong was so enthusiastic about him, Li Rizhi felt very uncomfortable, and he couldn't say why he was uncomfortable, in short, he was not happy.

Tong Guinu entered the main hall, and in the main hall sat the crown prince Li Hong, and there were several officials in green robes, these officials were all doctors in the Chongxian Pavilion, and they usually accompanied the prince Li Hong to study.

If there is anything Li Hong doesn't understand, they will explain it, but they are not Li Hong's masters, and it is not so easy to be the master of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Tong Guinu said that Li Rizhi had arrived, and the crown prince Li Hong immediately became excited, put down the book in his hand, smiled slightly, and said to Tong Guinu: "Then please invite Li Rizhi in." ”

Then he said to the doctors, "That's all for today, a few Aiqing, please come back." ”

The crown prince Li Hong spoke very politely, and also used a word of invitation to the courtiers, and several doctors immediately stood up, bowed, and left the main hall.

When they arrived at the door of the main hall, the doctors saw Li Rizhi waiting outside, and nodded and smiled at Li Rizhi together, which was regarded as a greeting.

Li Rizhi hurriedly returned the salute, thinking: "It seems that there is indeed a good thing, but what is a good thing?" I can't guess! ”

A little eunuch trotted out of the main hall and asked, "You are Li Rizhi, right?" Come with us into the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you! ”

Li Rizhi immediately straightened his clothes, followed the little eunuch, and entered the Chongxian Pavilion.

After entering the main hall, Li Rizhi looked around, and saw that the entire Chongxian Pavilion was like a big study, and he knew in his heart that the character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be more introverted and like to read, but he may not be very good at interacting with people, of course, he is His Royal Highness the Prince, and he does not have to interact with others, others will come to visit him.

Li Rizhi was led by the little eunuch to the table of the crown prince Li Hong, Li Rizhi immediately bowed and saluted, and said in his mouth: "Li Rizhi, a grass man, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

At this time, it is not popular to kneel and kowtow, even if the common people see the prince, they do not have to lie on the ground and kowtow.

The crown prince Li Hong actually owed slightly, smiled at Li Rizhi, and said, "You are Li Rizhi, well, you are really young." ”

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are younger than me, how can you talk a little old-fashioned!" ”

Prince Li Hong is indeed not very good at interacting with people, just like Li Rizhi thought, he doesn't need to interact with others, he can be polite to others, it is already very good, let him say some affectionate words, or turn around the bush, for others, it may be very simple, but for the prince Li Hong, it is more difficult.

After saying the words of greeting, there was silence in the hall, the crown prince Li Hong didn't know what to say, and Li Rizhi didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, he didn't know what to say!

Seeing this, Tong Guinu hurriedly waved his hand and asked the little eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the hall to go out, and there were only three of them left in the hall.

Tong Guinu saw that the crown prince Li Hong was silent, so he hurriedly said: "Li Rizhi, Your Highness is looking for you and needs to talk to you about the scientific examination." ”

Tong Guinu got up, and the crown prince Li Hong said: "Li Rizhi, Li Aiqing, Lone is a little sorry for you, because the first place in the first class was yours, but because of Lonely, it turned out to be Lonely, so you can only become the second place in the first class, you won't blame Lone!" ”

Li Rizhi sighed softly, what forgive or not? He didn't understand what it meant at all, but when the prince asked, he immediately said, "The grass people don't dare, and the grass people have never blamed His Royal Highness the prince, and they won't in the future." ”

When the crown prince Li Hong heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face, and Tong Guinu nodded at Li Rizhi, It's okay, you can speak.

The crown prince Li Hong, when he said his sorry words, his heart suddenly relaxed, his mood relaxed, he spoke smoothly, and asked Tong Guinu to bring a stool to Li Rizhi, and let Li Rizhi sit and talk, and sit next to his bookcase.

Prince Li Hong said: "Actually, Gu didn't want to end up, but just asked Tong Dajian to put Gu's paper into your volume, wanting to see what kind of level Gu's article level was compared to yours, but he never thought that he would get the first place." ”

After a pause, the crown prince Li Hong looked at Li Rizhi and said: "However, the scientific examination does not have much significance for Lone, because Lone is not an official, and this first place in the first class was originally Li Aiqing, but it is very important to Li Aiqing, so Lone feels very sorry for you, and specially invites you to come and say sorry to you." ”

Although the crown prince Li Hong explained the matter clearly, without a beginning or an end, Li Rizhi listened to it and understood a seven, seven, eight, eight or eight in his heart.

Presumably the prince Li Hong has read a lot, but he doesn't know the level of his articles, usually those who read with him, as well as the prince's master, will only say that the prince reads well, but in fact it is really good or not, it is estimated that the prince Li Hong himself is not clear.

Therefore, the young man's temperament, the prince Li Hong wanted to compare the articles with the scholars in this exam, so he also answered the questions, and then mixed the papers into the papers of the scholars.

As for the ranking of the examiners' papers, if he didn't know that it was the prince Li Hong's papers, it would be strange, he remembered it clearly, in the last game, there was a big screen behind the examiner's door, and whoever sat behind the screen probably had a child slave!

After thinking about things clearly, Li Rizhi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you have robbed the grass people of the name of the protégé of the Son of Heaven, if the grass people become the first in the first class, then the grass people are the protégés of the Son of Heaven and the emperor's apprentice." ”

This sentence is a bit funny, can the crown prince Li Hong still care about the name of the protégé of the Son of Heaven? He is the son of the Son of Heaven.

The crown prince Li Hong also knew that this was a joke, he laughed and said: "Okay, Li Aiqing, Lone is very willing to compensate you, say, what you want, as long as Lone has it, Lone will reward you, if Lone doesn't have it, then Lone asks for it from his father and mother, and he will reward you as well!" ”

The crown prince Li Hong is still too sincere, even this kind of what you want, I will give you anything, if it is someone else, at this time, he will definitely open his mouth and ruthlessly let His Royal Highness the prince give a handful of blood, maybe even a knighthood can come out.

But Li Rizhi said with a serious expression: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are now the first in the first class?" is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and if the grass people become the first in the first class and are also the protégés of the Son of Heaven, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the grass people are brothers, and His Royal Highness the Prince is higher than the grass people, and the time he has known the Son of Heaven is also longer than the grass people......"

Hearing this, the crown prince Li Hong smiled, and the child slave next to him also smiled, the prince Li Hong is just more homely, just more sincere, but not very good at interacting with people, but he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is smarter than others, Li Rizhi said the meaning, she has already understood.

The crown prince Li Hong said: "Li Aiqing, you don't think about it, you will call Gu Senior Brother in the future, right?" ”

Li Rizhi shook his head seriously and said: "No, no, the grass people will only call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants the grass people to call him junior brother, and the grass people feel it, so it is fair and reasonable!" ”

Tong Guinu smiled: "Li Dacaizi, you really know how to settle accounts, this makes you calculate, and it becomes fair and reasonable!" ”

Of course, Li Rizhi didn't dare to call the prince Li Hong a senior brother, no matter what the reason, it was rude, so he said that he would only call the prince Li Hong His Royal Highness, but on the contrary, the prince Li Hong could call him a junior brother, it sounds like a joke, but it can infinitely bring the relationship between the two people closer, which is the most important thing.

Prince Li Hong hesitated slightly, he has many masters, and he also has many companions, but the master who taught him to read never dared to really claim to be a master, and those companions, of course, did not dare to really think that they and Li Hong were brothers, that was too timid and fat, and it was not repaired!

The hesitation was only for a moment, and the crown prince Li Hong nodded and said: "Okay, Li Aiqing, oh no, junior brother, from now on, you will be a lonely junior brother, and we are all protégés of the Son of Heaven." ”

Li Rizhi was overjoyed in his heart and became the junior brother of the crown prince Li Hong, which is much stronger than the false name of the first place, this is a lifelong guarantee, the prince Li Hong is really from the advice, especially special, empathetic!
