Chapter 513: From the Imperial Examination (2)

In the Zheng family in Chang'an, in Zheng Yuanxiu's mansion, Zheng Yuanxiu was reprimanding his son Zheng Tao:

"Bastard, don't hurry up and kneel down for Lao Tzu!" Zheng Tao didn't dare to disobey his father's wishes, so he quickly knelt down. Zheng Yuanxiu, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, picked up a stick casually and greeted Zheng Tao directly:

"Lao Tzu beat you to death this thing that doesn't grow, you thing that doesn't grow up! At the beginning, you followed Dugu Xiude and Yang Yuzhi and others to assassinate Wang Shichong in the post station, which caused a lot of trouble, but now it's good, you are still messing around in the restaurant with the Dou family and the children of the Dugu family! ”

"Hey! Dad, I just had a few drinks in the restaurant, and I was seduced by the orchid, so I didn't mean to cause trouble! ”

"Bastard! Lao Tzu called you hard-mouthed! Lao Tzu called you hard-mouthed! Lao Tzu told you, from today onwards, you will give Lao Tzu a good study at home, and you are not allowed to go out to cause trouble. As soon as Zheng Tao heard that he was going to let himself read those books again, Zheng Tao only felt that his eyes were full of stars.

"Daddy, you just kill me, you can let me do anything, just beg Daddy not to let the child study."

"Bastard, you're so old, you don't think about how to become a leader, this family will be passed on to you sooner or later, if you are not an official, how can you inherit the family business!"

"Hey! Dad, isn't the child already the captain of the sixth rank of the imperial court? Isn't this already an official? ”

"You also said that because of you, your honor guard has been dismissed by His Majesty, you, you are a non-competitive thing, Lao Tzu should have never given birth to you, this uncompetitive thing, Lao Tzu beat you to death! ...... "Zheng Yuanxiu's wife died early, leaving only Zheng Wanzhen such a daughter, although he has a deep relationship with his wife, but he has never had children, and he is afraid of Zheng Wanzhen's attitude, so he got a few concubines outside, and later, Zheng Wanzhen grew up and married Li Jiancheng, Zheng Yuanxiu took the concubine back, and immediately gave birth to a son, and his only son, Zheng Yuanxiu naturally invested all his efforts in Zheng Tao. However, Zheng Tao is a gentleman, originally Li Tang was first built, and there were soldiers and displaced people everywhere, Zheng Tao's mind did not dare to be exposed, but since Li Jiancheng became the prince, Li Tang slowly stabilized, Zheng Tao's gentlemanly nature was revealed, coupled with the praise of Guan Long's children, today's banquet, tomorrow's invitation, caused a lot of trouble, Li Jiancheng looked at Zheng Wanzhen's face, and often helped Zheng Tao wipe his ass in the back, so that Zheng Tao developed a more gentlemanly character, and he couldn't look at the poetry and book culture. After Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, Zheng Tao boasted everywhere, saying that he would be a high-ranking official in the future, and his future was limitless, these remarks reached Li Jiancheng's ears, which had already caused dissatisfaction in Li Jiancheng's heart, but for Zheng Wanzhen's sake, Li Jiancheng did not delve into it, just a few days ago in Chang'an Restaurant, Zheng Tao and Dou's and Dugu's children teased the restaurant orchid, and there was a conflict, Li Jiancheng first locked up Zheng Tao and Dou's and Dugu's children for a few days, and by the way, he left a few words before Zheng Yuan's face.

"Father-in-law, it's not good for Xiao Tao to always be like this! It's already so old, although I gave him the title of captain of the honor guard, but this is an idle position, and you have also seen my father-in-law, Xiao Tao will cause trouble everywhere as long as he is idle, no, Jing Zhaoyin is on the Zezi today, saying that now the relatives and children in the capital and Luoyang are flying and making trouble everywhere, and some officials in the court are also playing to me, saying that I want to prevent my relatives in the Han Dynasty from being arrogant, so it is not a matter for Xiao Tao to continue like this! ”

"Ahh Your Majesty, Xiao Tao is still young, and I hope that Your Majesty will see a lot of Haihan for the sake of his sister and Cheng Lu! After Zheng Yuanxiu heard Li Jiancheng's words, he was so frightened that he immediately kowtowed, and Li Jiancheng said in his heart: 'Haihan, from the time I became the prince to the present, have you wiped Zheng Tao's ass for him less? I almost pierced the sky. If it weren't for the queen's face, I don't know how many times I would have done this precious egg of yours. Li Jiancheng's face was a little cold, Zheng Yuanxiu kowtowed, noticed Li Jiancheng's face, and immediately shut up. Li Jiancheng helped Zheng Yuanxiu up:

"Father-in-law, in fact, Xiao Tao is also a teenager, so I want to put Xiao Tao in Longxi Border Pass to practice for a few years, and experience and experience in the frontier......"

"Ahh Your Majesty, the minister has only such a single seedling. I beg Your Majesty not to send Xiao Tao out! Your Majesty! ”

"Father-in-law, I just want to get Xiao Tao to Longxi to experience the experience, which is different from the distribution!"

"Your Majesty, the minister's child has fine skin and tender meat, and he will ride some horses and run around on weekdays, but his kung fu is very poor, and I hope Your Majesty will not get my son to the border of Longxi!" Your Majesty! Zheng Yuanxiu knows what kind of virtue his son is, coupled with the big wind and sand in Longxi, the Turkic invaders from time to time, and the horse bandits are rampant, if you really want to get Zheng Tao there, I am afraid that after a while, Zheng Tao is likely to be either killed or deliberately abandoned and run away, and Zheng Yuanxiu knows that his son will definitely be the latter possibility at that time. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the military generals who abandon their posts will be beheaded for public display. Li Jiancheng knew that Zheng Yuanxiu would definitely not agree. In fact, Li Jiancheng also knew what kind of material Zheng Tao was.

"Hey! It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world! However, Xiao Tao made such a big mess in Chang'an, his honor guard can't be a captain, and his father-in-law is unwilling to let Xiao Tao go to the frontier to practice, it's better to do this, I want to start the imperial examination, re-select the heavenly officials, and let Xiao Tao come out to take the exam when the time comes, if Xiao Tao's grades are okay, I will find an errand for Xiao Tao in the sixth department! ”

"Ahh Good! Let him be a civil official! Zheng Yuanxiu finally understood what Li Jiancheng meant, Li Jiancheng publicly said in the court that he wanted to start the imperial examination from the beginning, and the giants of the Guanlong family above the court - the Dugu family, the Dou family, and the eldest grandson family did not express their position, and the foundation of the family in Qilu Jiangnan in Guanzhong is not as deep as the Guanlong family, and there are not as many people in Chang'an as the Guanlong family, although Qilu Jiangnan asks himself, the cultural heritage is deeper than that of the Guanlong family, but the Guanlong family does not speak, and the officials of the Qilu Jiangnan family dare not say anything! Li Jiancheng saw that there was no opposition in the court, and he was still afraid that when the time came, the major families would not support it, and when it came time for the imperial examination to be held, those who participated were all from some rural inferior grades, you know, at that time, most of the people who could study were the children of the family, and it was difficult for ordinary people to want to study. Therefore, after Zheng Yuanxiu took Zheng Tao out of the prison, he was beaten, and when Zheng Yuanxiu beat Zheng Tao, the servants of the Zheng family did not dare to persuade him, so he had to call Zheng Tao's own mother Min over:

"Madam, the master is beating the young master, go and take a look!" As soon as Mrs. Min heard that the master was beating her precious son, she hurriedly ran to Zheng Yuanxiu with the maid and hugged Zheng Tao:

"Master, even if Tao'er is at fault, he is also your only son, if you beat him like this, you are not afraid of breaking him."

"Forget it if it's broken, such a bad son, Lao Tzu should have never been born." When Mrs. Min saw that she couldn't persuade Zheng Yuanxiu, she quickly persuaded Zheng Tao:

"Tao'er, what the hell did you make your father angry."

"Hey! Mother, the child just had a fight with a few Hu businessmen in the restaurant, and squatted in Chang'an Mansion for a few days! ...... "Zheng Yuanxiu was angry and wanted to beat Zheng Tao, but Mrs. Min desperately stopped Zheng Yuanxiu:

"Master, don't be angry, is there anything wrong with Tao'er!" Under the obstruction of Mrs. Min, Zheng Yuanxiu said angrily:

"You thought it was a trivial matter, but because of this incident, your honor guard was lost."

"Hey! Dad, isn't it just a little honor guard captain! It's a good thing to say, it's not good, it's to get a guard of honor with the emperor, anyway, my brother-in-law is the emperor, my sister is the queen, and my little nephew will definitely be the prince in the future, no matter what, I'm still a national uncle! In the future, there will definitely be high-ranking officials. Seeing that Zheng Yuanxiu was about to go crazy again, Mrs. Min directly slapped Zheng Tao in the face. Zheng Tao covered his face and said to Mrs. Min with an aggrieved expression:

"Mother!"

"Tao'er, it's not your father who beat you, you too, you finally got a guard of honor, you don't regret it, you think the emperor's official is so good! Don't hurry up and admit your mistake to your father! Mrs. Min said while making a look at Zheng Tao, and Zheng Tao confessed his mistake to Zheng Yuanxiu with an aggrieved face:

"Daddy, I was wrong!" Mrs. Min asked Zheng Yuanxiu:

"Master, Your Majesty removed Tao'er from his official position, didn't he say that he would resume it in the future?" Zheng Yuanxiu sighed:

"The emperor said that Xiao Tao will go to the border pass of Longxi to practice for a few years, and he will experience and practice in the frontier......" When Zheng Tao heard that Li Jiancheng was going to release himself to Longxi, he trembled with fright:

"Ahh Dad, I'm not going, I'm not going, the horse thieves in Longxi are everywhere, the wind and sand are all over the sky, the child is thin, and the fists and legs are embroidered, Dad, you go and beg Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is unwilling, please ask Daddy to beg the queen! Let the queen blow the pillow wind next to Your Majesty's ear! Mrs. Min also knelt in front of Zheng Yuanxiu:

"Master, Tao'er is very stubborn, but he is not a traitor, please beg the master to beg the mother, don't send Tao'er to the poor mountains and bad waters."

"What kind of distribution, that's an external release." Zheng Yuanxiu looked at the pitiful appearance of Mrs. Min and Zheng Tao, and sneered in his heart - hum! I want you to spoil your son, I want you to fool around, and when the time comes, I will really get you to that poor mountain and bad water, and see how you are still jumping! Zheng Yuanxiu settled down again:

"There is another way, the emperor is about to open the imperial examination, the emperor wants us Tao'er to participate in the imperial examination, you have recently been hanging at home with Lao Tzu, taper and thorn stocks, study at home, and prepare for the exam!"

"Exam! Dad, children have a headache when they read books......" Zheng Tao was frightened by Zheng Yuanxiu's eyes.

"Okay, if you don't want to go, you can go to Longxi! The provincial Lao Tzu looked upset. Mrs. Min immediately said:

"Tao'er, just listen to your father and study hard! Master, don't worry, I will supervise it at home! Zheng Yuanxiu said to Zheng Tao and Mrs. Min again:

"Tao'er, you have to work hard! This Li Tang's relative is not easy to be! You know, your brother-in-law has a lot of sons! Zheng Tao and Mrs. Min asked Zheng Yuanxiu as if they didn't understand:

"Master, do you mean......" In the mansion of Yang Shidao in Chang'an, the same drama is also performing.

"Yuzhi, from today onwards, you have to study hard, don't slack off, and on the day of the imperial examination, you have to take the exam well!"
