asked some gossip, and casually compared the talents and strategies of the next ten students, and then in the midst of most of the apprehension, Li Shimin kept them for a light meal, and then sent them out of the palace with a kind face.

In the Taiji Palace, only Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were left.

"Prince, what do you think of these ten people?" Someone removed the seat, Li Shimin took a sip of tea, turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, and saw that the prince's face was as usual, and he returned to his previous indifference, and couldn't help but nod lightly.

"Back to my father, these ten people are all highly intelligent people, and it is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to be able to get such pillars!" Li Chengqian bowed down and replied very generally, still thinking about Li Shimin's previous sentence in his heart, what does that mean, is it a warning?

"Hehe, it's not false that the talent is high, but it is debatable to say that it is the pillar of the country," Li Shimin shook his head with a chuckle, glanced at Li Chengqian, and said softly: "A talented person is not necessarily an official, and he cannot be easily entrusted with important tasks." Cultivating a talented scholar into a talented official is by no means something that can be done in one or two years. ”

"As a monarch, you must not only have the ability to know people, but also have the ability to use people," sipped the tea, Li Shimin continued to his eldest son with a deep meaning: "Do you know that after the annual system, why the more talented and learned people are, the more I will transfer them to a rather remote and poor place, and let them be a small order?" On the one hand, it is the sophistication of the people, on the other hand, it is the heart of the people who are not officials, at most three or five years, or at least one and a half years, whether they can make political achievements and gain popular popularity, it depends on their own ability. ”

"Thank you for your father's teachings, and my sons will remember it in my heart!" Listening to the meaning of teaching and cultivation in Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian accepted the apprehension in his heart, and his mind calmed down at once, and he was able to listen to his father's teaching of the way to be a king, which was enough to show his father's trust and hope for him.

"Well," Li Shimin glanced at his son, nodded lightly, and then asked, "What do you think of the ten new science and technology scholars just now?" ”

"Back to my father, my son thinks that except for Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen, the other eight people seem to be a little unsophisticated and unreasonable, I don't know what my father thinks?" After calming down, Li Chengqian also opened his mouth to tell the truth, judging from the performance of the ten people just now, although Yuwen Fangde and Du Zhigui also answered the emperor's questions fluently, but when it comes to the feeling that the ten of them give people, Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen are more realistic.

"Oh? I don't know why the prince thinks like this? Li Shimin put down the tea bowl and looked at Li Chengqian with interest.

"Back to my father, not to mention the words on the seat just now, just from the performance of the ten of them in the side hall before, it can be seen that one or two, except for Liu Zhang and the others, they seem to be a little indifferent." Li Chengqian bowed his head and briefly expressed his opinion.

"Hehe, it's not that they're indifferent and can't be sophisticated, it's that before they came, they should have known about the mechanisms in the side hall, and they were doing it for me to see. Less words, less seeing, less mistakes, these should be explained in advance by the parents in their family," Li Shimin shook his head lightly, he saw these things very clearly.

"This," Li Chengqian's heart slipped again, he looked up at his father's face, and saw that Li Shimin's face was still the same, so he couldn't help but try to ask softly: "Since my father knows, why is it...?" ”

"Hehe, tell me what you think of Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen's performance in the side hall just now?" Regarding Li Chengqian's question, Li Shimin smiled silently, but softly asked Li Chengqian another question.

"Yes, Father!" Li Chengqian retracted his thoughts, lowered his head slightly and replied to Li Shimin: "According to Erchen, these two people don't seem to know the situation in the side room, otherwise when they first entered the side room, they wouldn't have recklessly stepped forward to greet Du Zhigui." Later, when they played chess, it should also be true! ”

"Well, it's true that they don't know," Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl again, turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, and said: "But they are not stupid people, even if they don't know, then they should be able to guess something when they see other people's repeated performances?" Didn't that Zhang Chuwen learn from other scholars to sit upright for a while? Only that willow two strips, from beginning to end, behaved very casually. ”

"Then according to the father's will, the last game of chess between Liu and Zhang was also made for the father?" Li Chengqian asked Li Shimin in a low voice.

"So to speak," Li Shimin nodded and chuckled, without any angry look, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "But the two of them have done a beautiful job, and they have hung a chessboard on that wall, in the hope that someone can see the tricks, and someone dares to play and can play." Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen did a good job of hearing them. has vision, courage, and acts very resolutely, which is much better than the scholar who looks at it but does not dare to do it. ”

"Those are two very cunning and very bold little ones!" This is Li Shimin's final judgment on the performance of Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen.

Li Shimin does not dislike those smart and cunning people, on the contrary, Li Shimin is very fond of these people, bold and very methodical, if such people are officials and ministers, they will definitely achieve something. is like those important ministers of the current dynasty, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Cen Wenwen, and even Wei Zheng's old stubborn man, aren't they all such smart and cunning people?

"What my father said is very true!" Li Chengqian echoed casually, and at the same time knew that Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen had already entered the eyes of their father, and their future achievements were limitless.

"Okay, it's here, the prince should step down first!" Li Shimin put down the tea bowl, waved his hand at Li Chengqian, and began to drive people away.

"Yes, father, my son is retiring!" When Li Chengqian heard this, he stood up, bent over and saluted Li Shimin, then turned around and left slowly. ”

"Yes, Father! Erchen understands! Standing at the door, Li Chengqian turned around and saluted again, and then said goodbye.

……

"Little girl, you are so beautiful, how old are you this year?"

In the evening, when Liu Yiyi came back from the outside with his books in his arms, he had just arrived at the door of their small courtyard when he heard a familiar voice.

Ren You, this kid is lying to his little sister here again.

"I, I'm eleven!" The little girl replied weakly, looking timidly at the good-looking big brother in front of her with two eyes.

"Eleven? Well, it's not small, in two years, the body will grow together, and she will be a big girl," Ren You bent over, approached Xiaoyadi with a smile, and said softly: "Look at Xiaoya's beautiful appearance, she will be a big beauty when she grows up, and when you grow up, will you marry your brother?" ”

"Xiao Yu!" Zhang Chuchu on the side glared at Ren You with disgust, and shouted softly: "If you stinky boy talk nonsense again, be careful that your sister-in-law will blow you out!" ”

"Uh, hehe, sister-in-law, just kidding, don't take it seriously, uh-huh, don't take it seriously!" Ren You said a few words with a smile, but the two eyes were still looking at Xiaoya's body, looking unrelenting.

"Death doesn't change, it seems that Miss Di's kicks last time were still too light," stepping into the courtyard gate, Liu Yiyi laughed loudly at Ren You.

"Husband!" "Brother Liu!" "Brother-in-law!"

Hearing Liu Yiyi's voice, Zhang Chuchu and the three of them all screamed softly at the same time, and Ren You's kid got up to greet him, bending down to greet Liu Yiyi.

"Okay, okay, it's not an outsider, there's no need to be so polite," waved his hand at Ren You casually, Liu Yiyi sat down next to his daughter-in-law, and motioned for Ren You to also sit down on the side, looked at Ren You, and asked him softly: "Why did Brother Ren You also arrive in Chang'an?" When did it come? ”

"Hehe, after the eldest brother set off from Fengjie, the younger brother was reluctant, and after asking my mother for instructions, he set off immediately, but he encountered some things on the road, and he was delayed for a while, and he just arrived in Chang'an this morning, and he knew that the eldest brother would live in Sufu when he came to Chang'an, so the younger brother settled down at home just now, and he was busy visiting the eldest brother and sister-in-law, hehe," Ren You sat down next to the little girl, and replied to Liu Yi with a chuckle of embarrassment.

"Well, you have a heart," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, although he knew that this kid was not telling the truth, but it was really rare for him to follow him from Fengjie to this Chang'an City.

"Husband, it's not early, Xiao You has also been here for an afternoon, it's time for us to eat!" Seeing that the two of them were talking speculatively, and they didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, Zhang Chuchu couldn't help but remind him softly.

"Uh, hehe, the lady is right, it's because her husband is negligent," Liu Yiyi chuckled when he heard this, and began to tell Xiao Yi and them to serve the food.

"I know that the eldest brother likes this mouthful, so when I came, the younger brother brought two pots of 'Qinglan wine' to the eldest brother, and the younger brother accompanied the eldest brother to drink it for a while!" Ren You smiled and bent down to take out two jars of 'Yiheju' specialty wine from under the table and put them on the table.

The meal had already been prepared, but it had been kept warm in the stove, and after Liu Yiyi's command, the table in their main hall was soon filled with hot meals.

instructed Xiao Yi to scald the wine, Liu Yi took the lead in lifting chopsticks, took a sip, and then motioned to his daughter-in-law, Ren You and Xiaoya to eat together.

"Big brother, listen to my sister-in-law," Ren Youti took a piece of lean meat, looked up at Liu Yiyi, and asked softly: "A few days ago, you were bullied by the people of the 'Dahong Chamber of Commerce' in the inn in Chang'an City, right?" ”

"Oh, you said that fat man in the soup, it's just some clowns who jump off the beam, don't pay attention to it," Liu Yiyi sandwiched a chopstick vegetarian dish for Chu Chu, put it in a bowl, and whispered to Ren You: "When there is a chance in the future, there is a way to teach him a lesson for my brother." ”

said generously, but in his heart, Liu Yiyi still has a grudge against the rice balls, if those people just come to find their own trouble, it will be okay, but looking at the situation at the time, they will not let go of Chu Chu, a woman with a big belly, and those who dare to take action against their own family, no matter who it is, Liu Yiyi will not spare it.

On this issue, Liu Yiyi is a very good and stingy person, and he holds a grudge.

This is why he will hide and avoid danger, and at the same time, he is still thinking about how to retaliate against the plan to return.

"This kind of small thing, where can I use the eldest brother to take action personally," Seeing that Liu Yiyi was a little unwilling in his heart, Ren You chuckled and said: "The younger brother has some friendship with Sang Zi, the president of the 'Dahong Chamber of Commerce', and their chamber of commerce still owes us a great favor of 'Yiheju', a fat man and it is, just give it to the younger brother, I will go to the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and our little girl!" ”

"Sir!" The warm wine was poured into the pot, and Xiao Yi gently brought it up, and filled it with Liu Yiyi and Ren You respectively. Then, Xiao Yi and other subordinates, according to Liu Yiyi's orders, all retreated.

"Come on, come on, let's drink!" Ignoring Ren You's suggestion just now, Liu Yiyi smiled and raised his glass to touch Ren You, and drank it all, the 'Qinglan Wine' of 'Yiheju' was still so warm and sweet, and Liu Yiyi liked its taste very much.

"Big brother, do you have something to say?" Seeing that Liu Yiyi finished drinking the wine, he went to pick up the pot and pour it again, without any intention of replying, Ren You couldn't help but urge.

"You kid is so enthusiastic about this matter, can't there be something else that you want the foolish brother to plan for you?" Someone is willing to help, Liu Yiyi has no objection, he has never been the kind of pedantic person who has a grudge and must repay himself, in this regard, Liu Yiyi is very pragmatic, as long as the goal is achieved, he can not care about the process.

Before that, though, Yanagichichi wanted to know what price he was going to pay. Ren You, a stinky boy, is also a little bastard who can't afford to make an early child, and he knows the truth that robbery should take advantage of the fire.
