Chapter 670: The Priest

Zhang Xiaochun didn't know when he left the General's Mansion, he was a civil official, and more importantly, a scholar, he felt Li Jing's disdain for scholars from Li Jing's words, thinking that those officials had been cold for ten years, and once they became famous, they had a blue or green official robe on their bodies, and the most outstanding people were qualified to wear them.

But this situation will soon change in Hedong Road, and the one hundred and ten scholars may also be scholars, but they are definitely not the kind of outstanding scholars, but these people can immediately put on blue or green official robes, become county commanders or county officials and other officials, govern one side, control the life and death of tens of thousands of people, compared with those Tai students in Beijing, these people can only be said to be literate people.

Out of the mansion, Zhang Xiaochun was about to get on the sedan chair, suddenly there was a shouting sound from behind, looking back, but saw Li Daniu waving to him in the distance, standing next to him was not Li Jing and who was it, dressed in a cyan robe, but very elegant, and he couldn't see the other party's killing decision just now.

"General." Zhang Xiaochun had no choice but to greet him.

"Master Zhang, if you have nothing to do, why don't you walk around with me?" Li Jing said with a smile.

"Allow the officer to change his clothes." Zhang Xiaochun didn't know what Li Jing was doing, and after thinking about it for a while, he still said without hesitation. I got into the sedan chair, changed into a regular clothes, and walked out.

"Those students are all gathered in the three major inns of Longsheng, Rongsheng and Li's family, you and I might as well go and have a look, and see if these scholars can meet the standards of Master Zhang." Li Jing said to Zhang Xiaochun.

"Honor the order of the general." Zhang Xiaochun's heart moved, although he looked down on these scholars, thinking that these scholars participating in Li Jing's imperial examination at this time was a big rebellion in itself, and he really wanted Li Jing to see the ugliness of these scholars, and take the opportunity to prevent Li Jing's appointment and dismissal of these officials. Not everyone who reads can become an official.

Three inns gathered on both sides of the street, not far from the Tribute Courtyard, in fact, at this time there was no formal Tribute Courtyard in Taiyuan Mansion on Hedong Road, and now the Tribute Courtyard is also Li Jing let people choose more than a dozen huge residences, hurriedly renovated them, and wrote the word "Tribute Courtyard" by themselves, and the Tribute Courtyard is guarded by soldiers, showing that Li Jing attaches great importance to the Tribute Courtyard.

Li Jing and Zhang Xiaochun had not yet arrived at the Li Inn, when they heard a quarrel inside, the two listened carefully, Li Jing's face was calm, but Zhang Xiaochun's face was much worse.

"Brother Wen, this Li Jing is already a rebel in the imperial court, and you still come to participate in his imperial examination? Tsk, could it be that he came for the nine-grade sesame official? It's not that I'm talking about you, Li Jing's official is also so good, not to mention how the DPRK and the Central Government are doing, let's talk about the entire Hedong Road! So many scholars didn't come to take the exam, but you came to hold his stinky feet, and when the court destroyed Li Jing in the future, it was your death. An arrogant voice came.

"Zhang Huai, if you don't participate, we are not allowed to participate? We scholars should serve the imperial court, whether the general is a rebellion, we don't know, but we know that when today's traitorous ministers are in power, and the people are not happy, it is precisely because we scholars need to stand up and work for the welfare of the people. A voice came into the ears of the two, and there was still a trace of strangeness on Zhang Xiaochun's face, but Li Jing frowned.

"Just think about this, look at what you eat, it's not as good as what my son's subordinates eat. If the imperial court uses you people to govern the world, it will make the world laugh. The arrogant voice just now came, and sneered: "Only Li Jing will use you people, it's already very good for a businessman to march to fight, and he still wants to govern Hedong Road, it's really a joke." Look, now, who else can support him up and down the Hedong Road, even if there is an army in hand? Will they still kill all the people who read in the world? Just like him, the entire Hedong Road scholars will not help him, and in the end, didn't he obediently get out of Hedong Road? ”

"What are you, and can you represent the scholars of the entire Hedong Road?" Li Jing couldn't help but snort coldly, and slowly entered the Li Inn, the inn was divided into two, the back was the accommodation inn, but the front was the restaurant, Li Jing and the others entered the restaurant, but saw a group of scholars sitting in the hall, but they were distinct, wearing a long gown, or white, or cyan or black, the pulp was very washed, and the other side was wearing brocade clothes, and the demeanor was elegant. A young man in brocade was standing there, his face frivolous.

"Who are you?" The young man looked back at Li Jing violently, but when he saw Zhang Xiaochun beside Li Jing, his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but step forward and arch his hand and said, "The student meets Master Zhang." ”

"This is the general of the expedition to the north, and he has not yet visited the general." Zhang Xiaochun saw the other party and recognized that the other party was Wen Hao, the son of Wen Yuanqing, a wealthy gentleman of Taiyuan Mansion, and an outstanding scholar in this mansion.

"Meet the General." After listening to this, the readers in the hall either disgusted or respected! They fell to their knees. Even Wen Hao knelt on the side with a pale face.

"Everyone is a scholar, let's get up and speak!" Li Jing found a vacant seat and sat down, and said: "When it comes to marching and fighting, you are not as good as me, but when it comes to reading, I am not as good as you, but General Ben remembers a sentence, which is about the life and death of the country, how can you avoid it because of misfortune and fortune, I don't know how this sentence is explained, who can tell me?" Just you, you say. Li Jing pointed at Wen Hao and said.

"Back to the general's words, the slightest trace of this sentence is that as long as it is beneficial to the imperial court, even if it is dead, it is nothing? I don't know who said this, but it is a model for us. Wen Hao said proudly.

"Some people also say that the people are the most important, the monarch is light, and the society is secondary, what does this sentence mean?" Li Jing asked again.

"This is the words of Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty, the people are the most important, and the king and the society must be ranked behind." Wen Hao said again. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know what Li Jing was saying these words.

"Hedong Road is in ruins, although the imperial court sent officials to come, but it was killed by others, so this general played the Son of Heaven, opened Enke on Hedong Road, and paid for the county and county, and let the students of Hedong Road participate in the Enke held by the imperial court, this is an opportunity for you scholars to serve the imperial court, and to guard the pastoral side of the imperial court, this is a good thing, how can it be in your mouth, it has become a service for Li Jing?" Li Jing said with a smile.

"What the general said is very true, and what he says is even true." Wen Hao felt a little contempt in his heart, but at this time, he could only smile bitterly, saying yes again and again.

"Some of you can rely on the merits and merits of your fathers to enter Taixue and enter the Guozijian, as long as you have good grades, you can become officials, but some people need to go through ten years of hard study to become nine-grade and seven-grade officials, some people have become officials, like the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and some people like the land of Gyeonggi, but some officials can only be promoted step by step from the frontier land. Among them, the hard work can be imagined, how many people participate in the imperial examination each session, and how many people can become protégés of the Son of Heaven? You people can easily become protégés of the Son of Heaven, but they can't. Li Jing pointed to the Hanmen scholar on the side, and said with a smile: "But in fact, what is the protégé of the Son of Heaven?" It's just better to read, though. You are all scholars, you are all literate people, and some of you think you are talented people, so let me ask you, how to govern a county? ”
