After Fang Xuanling entered the Liangyi Palace, there was no movement, leaving Li Jianguo standing alone outside the hall.

Inside the Liangyi Palace...

A young man sat on a dragon chair in the center of the hall, and three people stood in front of him. When the young man saw Fang Xuanling coming in, he also hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Fang Aiqing, you're here."

It turned out that this young man was Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Jianguo walked in at this time, he would definitely be surprised, because Tang Taizong was Wang Qin, whom he met in Chang'an City last time.

When Fang Xuanling saw Tang Taizong, he wanted to kneel down and salute, but Tang Taizong hurriedly held Fang Xuanling when he saw this.

"Fang Aiqing, didn't I say that in the future in the Liangyi Palace, there will be no difference between monarchs and ministers, so there is no need to be so formal." , Li Shimin turned to the other three people in the hall and said: "You too, you don't have to stick to such red tape here in the future, this is a holy decree!" ”

"Obey your orders!" , the three people in the hall said in unison.

Fang Xuanling clasped his hands into fists and said hello to the three people: "Lord Eldest Sun, Lord Wei, Lord Du, it's been a long time!" ”

The three people also hugged Fang Xuanling with a fist in return as a gift. It turned out that these three people were the eldest grandson Wuji mentioned by Fang Xuanling yesterday, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui.

"Du Aiqing, since Fang Aiqing is here, just say what you have to do!" Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui and said.

"Your Majesty, this scientific examination has produced a different candidate, this is his answer sheet, please take a look at it." Du Ruhui handed the answer sheet to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened it and looked at it for a moment, and then glanced at the candidate's name, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

"This is this person, Aiqing, this person is the young man I mentioned to you who was brave in Chang'an City. I had a conversation with him, and what he said that day was not much different from what was written on the answer sheet, and I remembered his name, Li Jianguo. ”

"Your Majesty, although this person is still young, he is very far-sighted. His experience is no worse than that of our old ministers, and he should be the first in this scientific expedition, and the ministers think that they can be entrusted with an official position to serve my Datang! At this time, Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling, kept glancing at him, and motioned for him to second. However, Fang Xuanling was indifferent and pretended not to see anything. In the past, as long as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui agreed to everything, the overall situation was basically decided.

"This guy is more anxious than I am." Fang Xuanling said with a snicker.

"What does Fang Aiqing think?" At this time, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and asked, "Fang Aiqing, I mentioned this person to you before, this is his answer sheet for this scientific examination, how about you review it?" ”

"Does the emperor remember that the old minister recommended someone in front of the emperor before?" Fang Xuanling changed the topic and asked abruptly.

Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling with a puzzled expression at this time, and muttered to himself: "What the hell is this old guy doing, he just made his eyes and pretended not to see it, and now he is talking about something else." ”

"Remember, of course I remember, I didn't give Aiqing permission last time, and Aiqing can take him into the palace at any time." Li Shimin saw Fang Xuanling open the topic, and did not have the slightest look of displeasure.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has brought him today, this person is waiting outside the palace now, and the emperor can announce him into the palace at any time."

"Oh? Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and announce him into the temple! Li Shimin urged, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's take a look at the people recommended by Fang Aiqing, he rarely does this." ”

Fang Xuanling turned around and shouted outside the door: "People outside the palace, you can come in, the emperor wants to see you." ”

Li Jianguo, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, was about to fall asleep, and when he heard such a sentence coming from the hall, he also hurriedly cheered up.

"I'm going to see Li Shimin soon, what should I say, do I want to kneel down and shout long live the emperor like on TV, long live long live, long live the emperor, should I also claim to be a grass citizen." At this time, Li Jianguo also had questions in his heart. Usually, he doesn't have to care too much about these etiquette issues, but now he is about to meet Li Shimin, the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong, if he doesn't pay attention to etiquette, the emperor's words will cost Li Jianguo his life.

"Forget it, I can't care so much, let's go in first, besides, my father is still inside, even if I inadvertently offend the emperor, my father will not sit idly by." Li Jianguo was also a little relieved when he thought of this, took a deep breath, and pushed the door in.

Li Jianguo pushed open the door, and there were four people who entered his sight first, two of whom he knew, naturally Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and the other two should be Wei Zheng and Eldest Sun Wuji, whom Fang Xuanling mentioned to him last night.

As soon as Li Jianguo's eyes turned, he saw a person who surprised him, that person was his friend Wang Qin, who he had met in Chang'an City before, who is now Tang Taizong.

When Li Shimin saw Li Jianguo, he was first surprised, then overjoyed, and said jokingly: "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed!" ”

Li Jianguo still didn't come back to his senses at this time, stared at Li Shimin for a long time, and then spit out a sentence: "It turned out to be you, you, are you the emperor today?" ”

"Ahem", Fang Xuanling coughed pretending to be polite and signaled Li Jianguo to pay attention to the number of courtesies.

Li Jianguo heard Fang Xuanling cough, glanced at it, realized the problem, and quickly knelt down.

"The grass people don't know how to count etiquette, and they have offended the emperor by unintentional mistakes, please forgive the emperor!"

Li Shimin hurriedly helped Li Jianguo up, and said in his mouth: "You and I are friends, why do you need to be polite between friends, we talked so closely that day, have you forgotten?" ”

Li Jianguo smiled bitterly to himself, and he didn't know what to say for a while. At this time, he also figured out that Wang Qin, King Qin, such a simple thing, he didn't find out until now.

At this time, Du Ruhui seemed to notice Li Jianguo's embarrassment, and hurriedly walked out to round the scene, "It turned out to be you kid, do you remember me?" ”

Li Jianguo saw that it was Du Ruhui, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Lord Du, it's time to see you later!" ”

Then he turned to the other two strangers, "These two should be Lord Wei Zheng Wei and Lord Eldest Sun Wuji, right?" ”

"Although you are a young scholar, you have a little knowledge." It was Wei Zheng who spoke, he was about the same age as Fang Xuanling, but he was much more serious than Fang Xuanling.

"Lord Wei is this temperament, little brother don't care. To be able to achieve such an achievement at a young age, it is really a hero out of a teenager! The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Jianguo and said with a smile. The eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's brother-in-law, who is about the same age as Li Shimin, and seems to be relatively kind.

"Fang Aiqing, how did you get acquainted with Brother Li?" Li Shimin was a little curious, and also asked suddenly.

When Lao Chen went out of the house one day, he found Li Xiaoyou fainting on the side of the road, so Lao Chen asked his subordinates to take him back to the house, and Li Xiaoyou has been living in Lao Chen's house since then. After a few days of getting along, the old minister found that Li Xiaoyou was a manufacturable material, so he dared to recommend it to the emperor. Fang Xuanling did not tell the relationship between him and Li Jianguo, thinking that it should be to avoid suspicion.

Li Jianguo glanced at Fang Xuanling and didn't say anything, naturally he knew what Fang Xuanling meant.
