Three people walked in from the outside, nearly thirty years old, looking frustrated readers. The three of them looked at each other, and one of them sighed: "Brother Wang, this time the high school has not been awarded an official for a long time, I have given up the idea of entering the officialdom, and I will never come to Chang'an City again." Brother Wang was stunned and said, "Brother Liu, why should you be like this, it will be a matter of time before you are promoted with your talent." ”

The last one shook his head and sighed: "Now that the eunuchs in the court are in charge, and the family controls the officialdom, if we want to enter the imperial examination, I am afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the sky." As the three of them spoke, they sat down behind Li Jie, ordered a few side dishes casually, and sighed again. The scholar surnamed Wang sighed and said: "Now that eunuchs are rampant, the family is greedy, and we have no future in the imperial examination." ”

Li Jie glanced at Manniang, who turned around and went downstairs and came back after a while. Four palace guards walked into the store in civilian clothes, sitting downstairs and blocking the staircase intentionally or unintentionally. Upstairs, Li Jie opened his mouth and said, "Three brothers, the younger brother took the liberty to disturb, I don't know why the three sighed!" The three of them looked up and saw a young man, and next to them sat two women in men's clothes. The prince surnamed Gongzi arched his hand, "I don't know what to call Gongzi." "Li Jie handed over" The younger brother's surname is Gao, and the word is a jade. "The prince surnamed Wang gave his hand" fortunately, fortunately, the foolish brother's surname is Wang, and the word is Yue, I don't know why the little brother wants to ask me. Li Jie said: "I don't know why the three brothers sighed! Wang Yue said, "We and the other three are all from a poor family, and this time the imperial examination is at the end, but I never thought that the officialdom was controlled by the family, and the three of us have not been awarded official positions for more than a month, so I am disheartened and want to return home!" Li Jie said again: "I don't know what the other two sons are called?" "Then the son surnamed Liu said" Liu Qi, the word Boyu "Another humane "Han Fei, the word Ziqi" Li Jie gave up his hand "Fortunately, the three brothers will meet, I don't know what the three plans are? Liu Qi said: "We are not allowed by the family, so we can only give up the idea of scientific research and return to our hometown!" Li Jie asked again, "Brother Liu, I don't know what you think of the court situation?" ”

Liu Qi asked, "I don't know why the little brother asks like this?" Li Jie said, "I'm just curious why the three sons are so depressed," Liu Qi said, "It's okay, anyway, I'm going to return to my hometown, so I'll tell you." Today, the saint is raised in the deep palace, and he does not know the suffering of the people. The eunuch dictatorship troubled the court, the family controlled the government and was greedy and harmed the people, the feudal towns in various places were divided and the court was emptied, and there was the yellow nest that attacked the city and plundered the land, burned and looted. Datang is already riddled with holes. I wanted to enter the court to serve the court as an official, but I can't tolerate it for the family! Li Jie said again: "If some of the children of the Tang clan want to revive the Tang Dynasty, what should they do!" Liu Qi glanced at Li Jie meaningfully and asked, "Why does Childe ask like this?" Li Jie replied, "Little brother just asks!" Liu Qi said, "Okay, just say it to you." If anyone wants to revive Datang. First of all, he must leave Chang'an and choose a place to recruit troops and horses to accumulate strength, first eliminate the thieves, and then gradually use troops against the feudal town. The military power was taken back to the imperial court, and Daxing Keke gradually replaced the family and took back the power of the eunuchs. In this way, Datang can be revitalized. Li Jie asked again, "How do I leave Chang'an?" After all, now that the children of the royal family have basically been raised, they are being monitored everywhere, and it is more difficult to leave Chang'an than to ascend to the sky! Liu Qi smiled slightly, "Why did Your Highness ask this?" Li Jie was shocked: "How does Brother Tai know my identity?" ”

Liu Qi smiled again, "I didn't know, but now I know!" The people around His Highness had gone downstairs, and soon after they returned, several people came in and sat near the stairs, intentionally or unintentionally. I didn't pay attention at first, but you and I talked for a long time, and there were many people sitting downstairs, but there were only two tables upstairs, didn't this explain the problem? And His Royal Highness asked about the revival of the Tang Dynasty and the departure of Chang'an. So I conclude that His Highness's status is not ordinary! And His Highness's answer just now made me sure that you are from the royal family! Li Jie arched his hand, "It turns out that my brother is cheating, and he is really talented!" Little brother admires! Don't hide it from the three, this king Li Jie! The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly left their seats to give a salute, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Shou, and Weichen was rude!" Li Jie waved his hand, "Those who don't know are not guilty!" It doesn't have to be that way! After sitting down again, Li Jie asked, "The Tang Dynasty is now controlled by eunuchs, the family is greedy and immoral, and there are thieves and feudal towns outside. This king is worried in his eyes! Now that the king wants to revive the Tang Dynasty, there is no good solution, can the three gentlemen teach me! ”

At this time, Han Fei said, "Your Highness, we can give it a try, but Your Highness may not have eunuchs around him, and his every move may not be known." How can the three of us hide people's eyes! Li Jie knew that this was also the three of them testing themselves, so after a little thought, he said to Manniang, "Go and call Xue Liang, don't expose and take the three of you to Huangzhuang!" Manniang turned around and went downstairs, and Li Jie changed the topic and asked about the knowledge of the three of them. Half an hour later, Manniang came back, "Your Highness, Xue Liang will be here in a while!" Li Jie nodded, and after a while, a brightly dressed and bearded businessman came in at the door of the downstairs, completely with the face of an upstart. As soon as the person entered the door, he went straight to the second floor, and the downstairs guard looked up at the upstairs, and Li Jie smiled slightly. Several guards turned around and walked out of the restaurant. The person who came up to the second floor found a table casually, and called, "Xiao Er, hurry up and give the master good wine and meat, the master is not short of money!" When Xiao Er brought the food, the person who came was not polite, raised his hand to grab the meat and threw it into his mouth. After eating and drinking, he looked at Liu Qi and the three of them, their eyes suddenly lit up, they got up and left their seats, came to the three of them, and bowed their hands: "The three sons are invited." The three of them also bowed their hands in return, and the person who came said, "Three sons, I got a word painting the day before yesterday, which is said to be Wang Xizhi's, I don't know if it's true or not!" Can you please appreciate it with the three sons? The three of them looked at Li Jie and saw that he was only smiling and not talking. "Three people and one hand" is everyone's work, I will go and feast my eyes! The merchant was overjoyed and said, "There are three sons, three sons, please," nodded and followed the three out. Before leaving, he squeezed his eyes at Manniang, Xing'er and Manniang upstairs just covered their mouths and smiled, Li Jie smiled and said, "Xue Liang acted well, and he can take on the big responsibility!" But the three of them reminded me that I should also sort out the house, and then go to the palace to find out the situation! The three of them went downstairs and went home. Two hours later, Xue Liang came back, entered the house and saluted, "Your Highness, the three sons have been arranged!" Li Jie nodded and ordered, "Check the mansion and the village in the past few days to see who is sent by the palace." And transfer some more people from Shanxi, you should have some subordinates! Xue Liang arched his hand! ”

At dawn the next day, Li Jie entered the palace. There was a little eunuch in front of him, and he turned around and went to the imperial garden. He loves to play and forgets to sleep and eat. A large area of the Imperial Garden was converted into a Keju field, and when Li Jie came in, Xi Zongzheng was having a lot of fun, just saying hello. Li Jie sat down and the little eunuch served tea, and at this time, Tian Lingzi, who was on the sidelines, suddenly turned his head and said, "Your Highness, you've had a good time in Chang'an City these days!" Li Jie hurriedly stood up and said in fear, "Father, Xiao Wang doesn't know what he has done to make Father unhappy!" Tian Lingzi said: "Those martial arts disciples are very close to you!" Li Jie hurriedly said, "It's just that a few Wuxun disciples deliberately married Xiao Wang." Xiao Wang only drank with them, but he didn't have a deep friendship, and he went hunting with them a few days ago, because Xiao Wang was not good at shooting, and was made fun of by them. Tian Lingzi said again, "These days, many Wuxun children have resigned, do you know!" Li Jie was surprised, "There is such a thing, and they didn't talk to Xiao Wang." What are their plans? Tian Lingzi said, "It's just a petty official with sesame mung beans, why worry about it!" King Shou doesn't have to be afraid, he doesn't have to mind, the old slave just asks casually! “

At this time, Xi Zong was tired of playing and took a break, so he came over and asked, "Seventh brother, how can I be willing to let the beauty run to the palace today!" Li Jie said with a smile: "The imperial brother is joking, how dare the seventh brother forget the imperial brother!" A few days ago, he hunted with Wuxun's children and was made fun of by them, and the younger brother practiced arrows in the house for a few days. Xi Zong laughed, "I'm afraid it's a golden beauty!" Li Jie hurriedly said: "Brother Huang said it was funny!" The two brothers laughed for a while, played poker for another afternoon, and took Li Jie, the reward of the imperial brother, and left the palace. On the way, Li Jie thought to himself, "It seems that Tian Lingzi didn't take me to heart, otherwise he wouldn't know about things outside the city, and if there are internal ghosts, they may only be in the mansion!" “

Back in the house, Li Jie went to visit the nurse, talked to the nurse, and returned to the room Xue Liang told Li Jie that he had begun to investigate the people in the house, and asked for instructions on what to do if he found out. Li Jie thought for a while and said, "Just know who it is, keep an eye on him, and you can't touch him yet!" Li Jie muttered in his mouth, Manniang dreamed of Zhou Gong again.

The next day, Li Jie took Xing'er and Manniang to Huangzhuang, and played with the two girls for a day, and at dusk, Liu Qi and the three appeared in Li Jie's study. The three of them bowed their hands and saluted, "See Your Highness!" Li Jie said with his hands, "The three sons don't have to be like this, this king is to hide people's eyes, so he arranged to meet at this time, I hope the three sons will forgive me!" "It's okay for the three to give up", it's okay, Your Highness is thoughtful! Li Jie said, "The three of them don't have to be polite, this king has a question, today's Tang Dynasty is weak, what should this king do!" “

The three of them glanced at each other, and Liu Qi said, "When there are eunuchs and eunuchs who are greedy for power, and there are feudal towns and thieves outside, the Tang Dynasty is already in danger, and if you are not careful, you will die and the country will be destroyed." Since His Royal Highness wants to reorganize the rivers and mountains, he must first leave this Longtan Tiger's Den and choose a place to recruit troops and gather heroes from all over the world. Then gradually exterminate the thieves in various places, crack down on the feudal towns and gradually seize military power, recruit scholars from the poor families, eliminate the family and eunuchs, and the world will be decided. Li Jie nodded, although what he said has the limitations of the times, but it is an inevitable practice of this era. Li Jie said again, "This king wants to go to Lulong to develop, what do the three of you think!" Liu Qi thought for a while, "Although the three towns of Hebei are divided, they are still loyal to the imperial court on the surface, and the three families have basically no foundation, if His Royal Highness can control the three towns, then great things can be done!" ”
