In the Hou Mansion of Xianyang County, Lijia Village, Guan Lao Wu and Li Erhu got drunk. Both of them were very satisfied with Li Sheng's family business, and after Li Erhu returned home, he told Guan Lao Wu about the matter, and if Guan Lao Wu was happy, don't say it. The brothers got drunk with wine and food, and during the drinking, they also deliberately checked the yellow calendar, and set the wedding date, which was set on the eighth day of the lunar month this year.

Since ancient times, there have been matchmakers in marriages, but it is difficult to find a matchmaker in Li Sheng's family. Li Erhu didn't know anyone with the same status as Cheng Fu, but Li Shimin also handled this for them.

On the second day, Guan Lao Wu walked to the door of Li Sheng's room and said that someone outside the door asked to see him. Li Sheng didn't sleep well last night, Li Sheng was still very resistant to marriage, and yesterday's events evoked his memories again, making Li Sheng sad for half the night, and after falling asleep, he dreamed of his wife and children in his previous life. It's been three poles in the sun, and I haven't gotten up yet.

Li Sheng got dressed, walked to the door, and said, "Is there a post?" ”

"No, the man just said that he had business, and I didn't dare to ask more, so I took him to the hall to drink tea."

Li Sheng thought for a while, and felt that it should be someone from the palace, so he said, "Fifth uncle, you go and get busy first!" I'll take a look. ”

Li Sheng walked through the courtyard and came to the hall, and when he saw the person, he was also stunned. It turned out to be the great god Wei Zheng.

Li Sheng didn't dare to wait slowly, so he hurriedly went up to salute and said, "Boy Li Sheng, I've seen Doctor Wei." ”

"Your tea is really not ordinary. Although it is simple to make, it has a natural charm. When Wei Zheng spoke, he signaled that Li Sheng didn't need to be polite.

"Doctor Wei praised it falsely, the kid was just lazy, and he didn't have the heart to fiddle with the tea ceremony, so he let people fry it indiscriminately and drink it directly. It deserves Dr. Wei's praise. ”

The people of the Tang Dynasty were very particular about drinking tea, and Li Sheng, who was exquisite, couldn't drink it. At this time, the tea ceremony is called "boiling tea", that is, putting onions, ginger, dates, mint, orange peel, salt and other things together to boil, and some even add mutton fat. So Li Sheng made tea for later generations according to his own memory.

After Li Sheng got up, he sat on Wei Zheng's side and said, "There must be something wrong with Doctor Wei coming, otherwise how can the kid He De let Doctor Wei come to the cold house in person." ”

"The old man came here for two things, first, His Majesty asked the old man to be a matchmaker for you, and the second thing is a private matter, that is, the old man is very curious, the poem you used yesterday, the old man inquired all night, and he didn't find out who it came from. What I want to ask is, did you make these verses? ”

Everyone knows that Wei Zheng has an upright temperament, but he has a hobby, maybe everyone doesn't know, that is, good poetry. Although there are only eleven poems handed down by Wei Zheng, his Yaxing who likes poetry is recorded in many historical books.

Li Sheng used all the famous sentences he copied after the Tang Dynasty, and if he didn't admit it, he wouldn't be able to find any good reason. Li Sheng had no choice but to nod and admit it.

Wei Zheng was horrified when he saw Li Sheng admit it. Such a masterpiece came from the mouth of a fifteen-year-old doll, how could Wei Zheng not be surprised.

"When I look at these verses, they are all incomplete. You have done a good job, let the old man see it. ”

Li Sheng now uses all the poems to give him, fortunately, when he was in school, he memorized these poems, so he had to say: "The kid never writes poems and paints, and occasionally he sings casually when he is inspired, even if he is inspired, he never thinks of memorizing them on paper." If Dr. Wei wants to instruct the kid, the kid will chant to Dr. Wei. ”

"Good! The old man listened attentively. ”

"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. If you live in a high temple, you will worry about its people. is far away from the rivers and lakes, and is worried about its king. It is a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating. But when will you be happy? It must be said: the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world! Li Sheng really couldn't remember the full text of "The Story of Yueyang Tower", so he had to put out the most essential summary.

"The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy. What a broad mind to make such a heroic essay, boy, you can be the name of the world's elite. The old man is not as good as it. This sentence of the old man should be placed in front of the hall, three provinces a day. ”

Li Sheng's old face couldn't help but turn red, and the name of the world's elite was like a slap in the face. Li Sheng didn't dare to discuss poetry with him, which made his mother's conscience guilty.

"Doctor Wei, the kid would like to thank Dr. Wei for protecting the media."

"This is not the credit of the old man, you should thank Your Majesty, the old man just obeyed orders." Wei Zheng said: "Did you enter the palace yesterday to thank you?" ”

Li Sheng was stunned, do you still want to enter the palace to thank you? I didn't know I had to go through this program. In fact, Li Sheng didn't know, whether it was a marriage or an official. and all the courtiers will enter the palace to give thanks. Last time, Li Sheng was named a marquis, but only because Li Sheng was injured, no one reminded him, and Li Shimin didn't bother with him. So Li Sheng still doesn't know that there is such a thing to this day.

When Wei Zheng saw Li Sheng's face, he knew that Li Sheng didn't know about it. I was secretly amused in my heart, and I didn't know how Li Sheng's marquis should be, if someone else had just received the holy decree yesterday, he would have run to the palace non-stop, kneeling on the mountain and shouting long live. Li Sheng didn't even know about Xie En, and he was still at home and chatting with himself so hotly.

"Master Li, what are you reading in this book? You don't know about this kind of etiquette, and the old man is quite suspicious of your talent. Wei Zheng even changed his title, and he seemed to be very concerned about Li Sheng's rudeness.

"The boy's reading is not about being an official, and he doesn't have much study of the book "Li". Please don't blame the kid, the kid will clean up immediately and go to the palace to thank him. Li Sheng hurriedly confessed.

"You go find someone, your father called, the old man still has some things to discuss with him, you go to the palace to thank you!"

Li Sheng quickly walked out of the hall and asked Guan Lao Wu to find his father to accompany Wei Zheng. Li Erhu was an idle person, so he went to work in the fields again. Li Sheng didn't care about this, returned to his house, washed his face, rubbed his teeth with willow branches dipped in salt, changed into new clothes, and hurriedly rode straight to Chang'an.

In the Chengqing Palace, Li Sheng knelt on the ground, Li Shimin didn't pay attention to him, and read the recital in front of the couch. Li Sheng knelt for a long time, and wanted to look up to see what Li Shimin was doing, so he slowly raised his head and peeked at it.

Chang De, who was standing on the side, secretly felt funny when he saw Li Sheng like this. Yesterday, after Cheng Yanjin and Cheng Yuhuan received the will, they came to the palace to thank the emperor. Only Li Sheng came to the palace this morning to thank him. Looking at his appearance, eighty percent didn't know about Shane. Chang De secretly felt that Li Sheng was very strange, and he could forget what the common people knew.

Li Shimin cooled Li Sheng for more than an hour, and then he said, "Li Sheng, what is the matter with you entering the palace?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has come to thank God!"

"Oh! You can still remember, it's rare. Do I think you have a complaint about my marriage? Li Shimin had no intention of letting Li Sheng go.

"After the boy received the order yesterday, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he couldn't come in time to thank him and ask His Majesty to atone for his sins." Li Sheng didn't dare to admit that he was really not satisfied with getting married now. I am also not happy that such a thing as marriage is imposed on me.

"Overjoyed." Li Shimin chattered for a while and said, "How did I hear that you rejected Chengfu's family affairs in public yesterday. I think you're just weird and messy with the mandarin duck spectrum, and you don't come to thank you because of resentment. ”

For Li Shimin's fierce pursuit, Li Sheng couldn't cope with it, so he simply said: "The minister really doesn't know about thanksgiving, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"Are my eyes so small? If I repay my kindness, who do you think I am? Is Li Shengzhen so cheeky in your heart? ”

Li Sheng was completely speechless, his mother's non-admitting it wouldn't work, and it wouldn't work if he didn't admit it. You're going to fucking force me to die. Li Sheng simply didn't say anything, I see what you can do with me.

Li Shimin waited for a long time, but when he didn't see Li Sheng talking, he laughed in his heart. This kid is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he played with hob meat for me.

"It seems that you still have a grudge against me for giving you a marriage, so be it! I made another decree to cancel the marriage. ”

Li Shimin is 100% interested in finding trouble, and the emperor has a golden mouth, and it doesn't matter if he talks from me, or because I am dissatisfied with the marriage, I have no choice but to withdraw my fate. His mother's Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces still ate me alive, even if the hundred officials don't find trouble for themselves, Cheng Yanjin will have to chop me alive. Li Sheng definitely didn't dare to let Li Shimin take back his life, but he didn't know what medicine Li Shimin bought in the gourd, but Li Sheng thought, I admit it.

"Your Majesty, you can spare the ministers! The minister admits and admits punishment, what do you say, the minister continues, how you punish, the minister suffers. ”

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth were slightly upturned at this time, and he looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme. Changde didn't have Li Shimin to hold on, poof, and laughed out loud. provoked Li Shimin to give him a fierce look.

"Since you know that you are wrong, and you admit punishment, I will punish you. As the saying goes, rewards and punishments are clear, and as the Son of Heaven, I naturally cannot reward and punish unfairly. I will punish you as the county magistrate of Qinghe County, and I will go to office in a few days! ”

Li Sheng was stunned, I rely on it, I want to die, Lao Tzu offended the family, you just got me to their nest, didn't you let me go?

"Your Majesty, the minister said that he would not be an official, the minister is still young, and he is afraid that he will not be competent, the safety of the minister is small, and the people of a county are big when the time comes." Li Sheng didn't dare to pick it up, and it was uncertain whether he could come back if he went.

"Well, since you don't agree, I won't force it. In this way, I have no choice but to punish you for the crime of disrespecting the will. Li Shimin said: "Changde, what is the crime of resisting the decree and disrespecting? ”

Chang Deqiang held back a smile and said, "Your Majesty, disrespecting the decree is like a crime of bullying the king, razing the three clans. ”

Li Sheng knew that the two of them were singing double reeds. But looking at the posture, it's not okay not to agree. Li Sheng had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the ministers are grateful." ”

Li Shimin didn't expect Li Sheng to admit it so quickly, and he recognized it so simply, which surprised Li Shimin. Now that he has taken it, his plan will be easy to implement.

"Since you have accepted the order, why don't you retreat?"

"Your Majesty, the minister still has two requests, please grant the minister."

Li Shimin heard it for the first time that he was given an official position, and he dared to talk to himself about the conditions. However, Li Shimin was also interested and wanted to hear what conditions Li Sheng would propose.

"Anyway, I'll listen."

"Your Majesty asked the minister to go to Qinghe County, he must want the minister to provoke the Qinghe Cui clan, and the minister needs an assistant and a few guards with strong martial arts for the sake of his life."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You know in your heart, okay, I agreed, who needs to be your assistant, report it to me." ”

"Cheng Huaimo." Li Sheng said without thinking.

"Okay, I've agreed, let's talk about the second thing." Li Shimin responded very generously.

"The minister has the right to make decisions on the spot."

Li Shimin was not so simple this time, and after a while of silence, he said, "I promise you too, but you can't use it easily." ”

"Your Majesty understands, please rest assured. The minister retired. ”

Li Sheng was about to retreat after speaking, but he listened to Li Shimin and said, "Wait a minute, I still have something to hand over to you." ”

Chang De took out a holy decree from the front of the emperor and handed it to Li Sheng. Li Sheng respectfully accepted it. I heard Li Shimin say: "I have appointed Duan Zhixuan as the governor of Hebei Province, this is my secret decree, if there is an emergency, you can take this secret decree to Duan Zhixuan, he knows what to do." ”

Li Sheng knew that Li Shimin was using himself to pull hatred, so he took the opportunity to fight the boss and explode the equipment. Li Sheng also understands his final result, if he is lucky enough not to die, he can share some experience, if he dies, he will be unlucky, and his family will share some benefits.

Li Shimin knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Li Sheng's face, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "I am helpless in this move, for the sake of the country's society, I have to do this, I hope the kid can understand my hardship." I will send more people to secretly protect your safety, you are a rare talent in the younger generation, and I don't want anything to happen to you. Do you understand my painstaking efforts? ”

If it was Li Sheng of the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely be grateful when he heard that the emperor was talking to him. However, at this time, Li Sheng did not feel the feeling of supreme glory, he only had the feeling that he was going to go to the thunder for others, and it was still a large minefield with dense thunder nets.

"Your Majesty can trust your ministers, and your Majesty can't repay Your Majesty's trust even if you die." Li Sheng is not a fool, and he also knows that there should be gratitude here. Otherwise, you don't have to go to Qinghe County, and you can be cool in Chang'an.

"Aiqing can be so loyal, I am very relieved!" Li Shimin was also happy when he heard that Li Sheng was so cooperative.
