Chapter 174: Luo Xun's Usefulness
Luo Xun realized three meanings from Gao Ming's words just now.
First, Gao Ming valued his son.
Second, Gao Ming values his son very much.
Third, Gao Ming values his son very much.
Thinking of this, Luo Xun felt that his heart was a little broken.
"Uh...... Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my son is only five years old this year! ”
In order to emphasize his son's age, Luo Xun also stretched out a slap, indicating that his son was indeed only five years old and a little child.
However, what made him a little disappointed was that Gao Ming's face was as usual at this time, and there was nothing wrong with it, but he asked him a question.
"yes, what's wrong with your son being five years old?"
“……”
Hearing Gao Ming's words, the corners of Luo Xun's mouth twitched twice, and then he showed a reluctant smile towards Gao Ming.
"Uh...... His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, I came to Chang'an this time to participate in the Spring Festival, but it's a pity that ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ming waved his hand.
"It's a pity that I didn't get in, didn't I fall off the list? Hahahaha! ”
“……”
In the face of Gao Minghao's merciless blows and ridicule, Luo Xun blushed again.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I ...... I ......"
If it weren't for Gao Ming sitting opposite, Luo Xun really wanted to leave, but when he thought of Gao Ming's identity as a prince, he could only stand in place, and for a while, he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground and turn in.
Looking at Luo Xun's embarrassed and indignant appearance, Gao Ming also found that what he said just now was a bit excessive, so he hurriedly came to Luo Xun's side with a smile on his face, and then patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, although you failed the imperial examination this time, I am actually optimistic about you."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Luo Xun's face suddenly flashed with a glimmer of hope.
"Prince, what do you mean...... Do you think I'm useful? ”
Looking at Luo Xun's look of a thousand miles of horses touching Bole, Gao Ming suddenly nodded with a look of relief.
"Of course, how can you be useless, you are very useful to my Datang!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Luo Xun's tears of emotion were about to flow out.
"Xiao Sheng has studied hard for sixteen years, and now he has fallen off the list no less than three times, and he already had the intention of giving up, but now that he can hear His Royal Highness the Prince's words, Xiao Sheng will definitely not live up to His Royal Highness the Prince's trust, I will not give up, I will definitely become a useful person to the Tang Dynasty!"
Looking at Luo Xun, who was high-spirited, Gao Ming suddenly blinked.
"Uh...... In fact, even if you give up the imperial examination, you have already become a useful person to Datang! ”
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Luo Xun suddenly showed a look of doubt.
"Huh? Without the imperial examination, he has become a useful person to the Tang Dynasty? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't understand this very well! ”
Looking at Luo Xun's confused expression, Gao Ming patted him on the shoulder again.
"Your usefulness lies in the fact that you gave birth to a son, and also named him Luo Bingwang, in the future, as long as you protect him, care for him, educate him, and let him grow up healthy and healthy, your task will be completed, as for whether you take the imperial examination or not, it doesn't matter."
“……”
After listening to Gao Ming's words, Luo Xun suddenly despaired of this world, and even his eyes became dull.
"I've been studying hard for sixteen years, is the only use of passing on the ancestry?"
Seeing that Luo Xun looked like he had been greatly traumatized, Gao Ming suddenly began to review whether what he had just said was a bit excessive.
After thinking for a while, Gao Ming suddenly realized that the scholars of this era are different from later generations, they have taken the imperial examination and then become an official as their ideal in life in this life, and their words just now undoubtedly denied the value of Luo Xun's life, which seems to be indeed a little cruel.
"Tsk, since he wants to be an official so much, then I'll let him be an official, who called him King Luo Bin's father!"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly patted Luo Xun's shoulder again.
"Hey, Luo Xun, you take the imperial examination to become an official, this is simple, you don't have to take the imperial examination, I will directly let you be an official, what do you think of the county order?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Luo Xun was stunned.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean is that I will be the county magistrate without the imperial examination?"
Looking at Luo Xun's surprised look, Gao Ming suddenly smiled and nodded.
"That's right, it's for you to be the county order, the six counties of Jinzhou, you can choose where you want to be the county order, this prince won't joke with you about this, you can go to Jinju to take office now, and I will immediately send someone to take over your wife and son!"
You don't need to take the imperial examination to make a county order directly, and it is a free choice, after listening to Gao Ming's words, Luo Xun was dumbfounded again.
Luo Xun's feeling at this time was probably like a person who had taken many civil service exams in a row, but couldn't even pass the written exam every time, just when he was about to give up, he was suddenly summoned by the country's No. 2 leader, and then said that he could directly become a county magistrate without taking the exam.
It was a super surprise!
Luo Xun felt that today was like a dream, first he entered the most noble Tang Dynasty Royal Club for a penny, and then he was able to drink tea with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and finally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that he would become an official directly without taking the imperial examination, all of which made Luo Xun feel like he was in a dream.
"I don't really dream anymore, do I? Your Royal Highness the Prince, will you beat me? ”
Hearing Luo Xun's words, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile.
"It's the first time I've heard such a request, well, since you've said so, then I'll satisfy you, tremble, mortal!"
After speaking, Gao Ming immediately stretched out his right hand, and a big ear twitched towards Luo Xun.
"Smack!"
"Ahh
With a crisp and loud slap, Luo Xun's left face immediately swollen, seeing this scene, Gao Ming hurriedly held Luo Xun's shoulder, and then asked him with a concerned face.
"How? Would you like to do it again? ”
“……”
Looking at Luo Xun with a shocked face, Gao Ming folded his sleeves again.
"I hit your left cheek just now, maybe you will feel a little unbalanced now, but you don't have to worry, as long as you stretch out the right cheek for me to hit, then you must be balanced, believe me, I am still very confident in the grasp of strength!"
Looking at Gao Ming, who was rolling up his sleeves and looking eager to try, Luo Xun suddenly reacted, he shook his head desperately while covering his face.
"No, no, no...... No need, His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiaosheng...... I already know that I am not dreaming! ”
Hearing Luo Xun's words, Gao Ming suddenly lowered his sleeves in some frustration, and then raised his chin towards Luo Xun.
"Okay, now that you understand, then save this slap for next time, what do you think now, do you want to go to Jinju as a county magistrate?"
"Yes!"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Luo Xun immediately nodded his head like a chicken.
"Xiaosheng...... No, Xia Guan will leave for Jinju to take office today, and Xia Guan's wife and children will be bothered by His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
Hearing him agree, Gao Ming immediately slapped the table, and then laughed.
"Hahahaha, okay, I like to be happy, come to someone, call me over to Sugan Chengji!"
"Yes!"
With Gao Ming's order, a hundred cavalry guards not far behind him immediately went to call Migan Chengji over.
After Su Gan Chengji came, he immediately bowed to Gao Ming.
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?"
Gao Ming was in a good mood at this time, and when he saw Su Gan Chengji coming, he immediately laughed.
"Haha, Aki, you came just in time, I have something for you to do, you go and arrange two people, find someone to escort Luo Xun to Jinzhou today, and then tell Li Goudan to let him arrange a county order position for Luo Xun, just say I said it."
"Yes, the subordinates understand, the subordinates will send someone to send Luo Zhixian to Jinzhou, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any other instructions?"
Hearing Su Gan Chengji's words, Gao Ming immediately nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't be arrogant or impatient, very good, there is one more thing, that is, Luo Xun's wife and children are in Wuzhou, Jiangnan East Province, you go and take them to Jinzhou to get together with Luo Xun, send a few more people to escort them, don't make any mistakes, especially Luo Xun's son Luo Bingwang, if he is missing a cold door, I will cut off your head."
Seeing that Gao Ming was serious, Su Gan Chengji's face also became serious.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates will do their best, and if there is a mistake, his subordinates are willing to come to see him."
At this time, Gao Ming was drinking tea with a teacup, and when he heard Su Gan Chengji's words, Gao Ming suddenly smiled and nodded.
"Well, it sounds okay, you did it, I won't treat you badly, but if you mess things up, even if you don't bring your head to see me, I will also let others carry your head to see me, I mean, do you understand?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Gan Chengji's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately knelt on one knee with a "poof", and then hugged his fist towards Gao Ming.
"My subordinates understand! Subordinates obey orders! ”
Luo Xun stood aside, looking at the scene in front of him, and his face also showed a hint of horror.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really values King Bin, not only gave me the official position of a magistrate for this, but also sent his elite escorts, but why is this?"
It's a pity that Gao Ming doesn't know what Luo Xun is thinking, if he knew, he would definitely tell Luo Xun - like the twenty-first century, what was lacking in the seventh century was talent.
In Gao Ming's view, Luo Bingwang is undoubtedly the future talent of Datang.
According to historical records, King Luo Bin had a ruined life, although he entered the officialdom but had been depressed, but when Wu Zetian came to power, he was willing to risk killing his head and run for the Li royal family.
As the saying goes, "adversity sees sincerity", a talented foolish and loyal person like Luo Bingwang, Gao Ming likes it very much, it doesn't matter if he is younger, he is more malleable!
Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly remembered Wu Zetian, and he was suddenly startled.
"According to historical records, Wu Zetian, a woman, should have entered the palace by now, right? Why don't I strike first? ”
