Li Bai was originally a little unconvinced, but when he saw Li Zaixing showing his hand intentionally or unintentionally, he knew that Li Zaixing had just shown mercy to his subordinates, otherwise under a blow, his two calves would be smashed like this tile, where could he still stand and talk.

He sighed: "Xiaoyou has good marksmanship, I lost." ......He gritted his teeth reluctantly: "It's up to you, I hope you can ride it into battle in the future to kill the enemy and live up to this good horse." ”

"Thank you for the horse." Li Zaixing clasped his hands into fists and bowed: "One day, I will definitely live up to the good intentions of the immortals today." ”

"I hope so." Li Bai smiled bitterly and glanced back at Li Yu: "With this warrior as a companion, it's no wonder that you don't want to sit with an old man like me." Li Changyuan, the future is terrifying. ”

was full of pride and wanted to compete, but he didn't expect to lose as soon as he fought, and he had no power to fight back, Li Bai's face was no longer arrogant, and when he said the words "terrible in the future", he was a little more lonely. Where is this still such a poetic Li Qixian, who is clearly a down-and-out person who is about to go but has achieved nothing.

Li Mi saw it in his eyes, and his original disgust also faded a little, and he couldn't help but sigh and comforted: "Don't care too much about the immortals, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." The immortal is old, so he doesn't have to worry about martial arts. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles; The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. Now that the Lord is above, the world is peaceful, and the vertical and horizontal techniques are not at the right time, which is not the fault of the immortals. ”

Li Bai blinked, laughed, and suddenly regained his confidence and calmness. He put away his sword, shook his feet, and walked out with some difficulty. His voice came from far away, full of air and pride.

"Li Changyuan, prosperous and declining, although the Ming Lord is in power, the treacherous minister is in charge, you and I know what the world is like. Don't worry, in a few years, let's see if my vertical and horizontal skills are useless. ”

Li Yu shook his head, rushed to the gate of the small courtyard, and watched Li Bai go away. Li Zaixing was confused, Li Bai is a columnist? Isn't he a poet, how did he become a columnist like Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

When Li Mi returned, Li Zaixing raised his questions. Li Mi is not surprising, Li Zaixing grew up in the Praruo Temple since he was a child, although the lazy monk sings amazingly, he is a hidden monk, after all, he is a monk, he may not care about these things, and it is normal for Li Zaixing not to understand.

"I joined the Tang Dynasty and didn't go out in these ways. The first is Enyin, the children of the clan, needless to say, the fifth-grade officials and above, their children can enter the government with Enyin. However, there are very few five-grade officials, so most people have to rely on other methods......"

Li Mi briefly talked about the way of becoming an official in the Tang Dynasty, except for a very few people who can enter the government with the grace of their fathers and ancestors, most people also have to rely on their own talents to seek officials. Those who are outstanding in learning can enter the government by virtue of the imperial examination, but the imperial examination is also not easy, and only twenty or thirty people are admitted every year, and even less than ten people are admitted at a young age. Even if you win the imperial examination, you may not be able to do it, and you have to wait for the officials to be selected and fill the vacancies before it can be granted.

Those who have average talent and no hope for the imperial examination can only flow into the stream, that is, they start from small officials, boil their qualifications, and be promoted step by step. This is also difficult, Datang's habit is to take the exam every four years, and only those who pass the four exams can be promoted. For many people, it is difficult to wear a scarlet robe representing a fifth-grade official or above in this life, let alone a purple robe above the third-rank rank.

In addition to this, there are also military merits. The Son of Heaven opens the side, rewards military merits, and those with outstanding military merits have more opportunities for promotion. However, if you want to fight a bloody way out of the sea of corpses and blood, it is obviously not something that ordinary people can do.

The vast majority of people who are conceited and talented, unwilling to work on qualifications, and have no ability to earn military merits, can only choose to intervene in the powerful, hoping to be recommended and thus enter the official career. Li Bai and Li Mi took this road. In fact, the vast majority of scholars in Datang are taking this path. There are also two ways to interfere with the powerful, one is to put down your body, please the powerful, and even do not hesitate to serve their lackeys and serve them. The other is to write poems and essays, make friends, make a name for yourself, and win a chance to enter the industry with your extraordinary talent and fame. Li Bai chose the latter, he learned vertical and horizontal techniques from Zhao Rui when he was young, hoping to be as successful as Su Qin and Zhang Yi. It's a pity that he forgot one thing, the premise that the vertical and horizontal technique can make contributions is that in troubled times, like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are many large countries and endless battles, so there is room for the vertical and horizontal art to play. If you are unified today, the vertical and horizontal technique is a dragon-slaying technique, and it will not come in handy.

Therefore, Li Bai's life was wasted, and he was able to enter the Hanlin Academy for a short time because of his literary talent and poetry, not because of his proud vertical and horizontal skills.

After listening to Li Mi's introduction, Li Zaixing was still puzzled: "Then his literary talent is so good, why don't you go to the imperial examination?" Even if the vertical and horizontal technique is useless, it is still more than enough to take the imperial examination. ”

Li Mi blinked, muttered for a moment, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Brother Xian, I have also had this doubt of yours." Although Li Bai is a little flashy, he has to take papers, which is rare in the world, and it is not a big problem to take the imperial examination with his knowledge. But strange to say, he has never participated in the imperial examination, do you know why? ”

Li Zaixing rolled his eyes: "What is the reason for being so mysterious?" ”

"To participate in the imperial examination, you must fill in the essay explanation and family statement, among which the family certificate must list the names and official ......positions of the three generations of your father and ancestors," Li Mi said this, stopped, and looked at Li Zaixing without blinking.

Li Zaixing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood. "Li Bai's family background is unknown?"

"That's right." Li Mi laughed: "The family form is not just written by yourself, but it has to be checked by the government of the place where you are born." Li Bai claimed to be the Li clan of Longxi, and entered the Western Regions due to chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the Chinese side of Shenlong entered Shu to occupy the nationality, but the situation before entering Shu was vague and unclear, and the accounts were different. If he wants to enter the official from the imperial examination, he can't write his family status. ”

Li Zaixing suddenly realized, but then he thought of himself again. According to Li Mi's statement, although he doesn't need to write down the situation of the three generations like he did from the imperial examination, as long as he wants to be an official, he must at least find out who his parents are. Otherwise, he would not be able to enter the ranks, so he could only be an ordinary commoner, or simply go back to the Praruo Temple to become a monk and end his life.

In this way, he has to find out his life experience.

Li Zaixing was a little nerve-wracking for a while. Last night, the master lazy monk gave him a token, but from this token, he couldn't see any useful information at all, he could only know that the person who entrusted the lazy monk to protect him in Chang'an may still be a person with some status. What is the specific situation, he needs to go to Chang'an to find clues by himself.

It's a daunting task. He doesn't know anything about Chang'an, and when he arrives in Chang'an, he is not familiar with life, and he only relies on a token of unknown origin, how can he start? Because of this, he tried every means to pull Li Mi, a genius, to accompany him, on the one hand, to borrow his intelligence, and on the other hand, to borrow his connections. Li Mi is a native of Chang'an, and he has been in and out of the court, and has dealings with the Son of Heaven and the Prince, and having such a person go to Chang'an together can help him solve many problems. When necessary, his connections can also play an immeasurable role.

As for what to join the army, it is just an excuse, even if he really wants to join the army, he must wait until this problem is solved, otherwise he is a blind stream in the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't even have an identity, and he can't be an official at all.

It is not easy to persuade Li Mi to accompany him to Chang'an, and now the master is lazy and the monk can't help, and everything can only be relied on himself. And Li Mi is a prodigy who is so smart that he is almost demonic, if he wants to play tricks in front of such a person, Li Zaixing said that he is under a lot of pressure.

His only advantage is probably that Li Mi can't figure out his details, but he knows some things about Li Mi. This is also only for now, with Li Yu's observation ability, he does not dare to guarantee that he will never show a flaw.

"You won Li Bai's Teller Biao, do you really want to join the army?" Li Mi asked with a smile.

"I can't think of any way out other than joining the army." Li Zaixing smiled bitterly: "In terms of family background, I am an orphan picked up by a monk, and I don't even know who my parents are. I don't know anything about talent and writing, and I don't know anything about poetry, and I don't have any hope for the imperial examination. What else can be done besides joining the army? ”

"This is also true, even if it is a martial arts test, you have to fill in the family form." Li Mi nodded in agreement: "However, it is not easy to enter the ranks with military merits. Not to mention that the battlefield is dangerous and life and death are uncertain, even if you have made immortal achievements, it is impossible to get out of the picture. ”

"I didn't want to be in the phase, I just wanted to live a more nourishing life." Li Zaixing laughed: "By the way, can you teach me to read the art of war?" ”

"Have you read the Art of War?" Li Mi had already noticed that the book on the case had been moved, and as soon as he heard Li Zaixing's words, he knew that it was him.

"I read a little, but I didn't understand." Li Zaixing scratched his head embarrassedly: "Who is this Wei Gong?" ”

Li Bi stared at Li Zaixing in surprise, seeing that Li Zaixing's heart was furious, and he secretly screamed badly, and he didn't know what he had missed.

"You don't even know Li Weigong, and you still want to join the army?"

Li ...... Wei Gong? Li Zaixing thought about it for a long time, and then it suddenly dawned on him, and he couldn't help but blush. It turns out that this Duke Wei is not a person surnamed Wei, but a knighthood. Li Weigong, then I don't know, Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, and the god in front of him, Li Mi, who is called the Tang Dynasty.

However, the shame in Li Zaixing's heart was immediately drowned out by a burst of ecstasy: "This is Li Weigong's art of war?" ”

"Of course." Li Mi smiled proudly: "This is what I copied when I was in the palace." ”

Li Zaixing raised his head and expressed his gratitude to the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, not only made great achievements, but also left behind the art of war. Those who have learned his art of war are said to have become famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. Li Mi's later achievements may have something to do with the fact that he had read Li Jing's art of war. However, Li Jing's art of war was dispersed in the Song Dynasty, and the so-called Li Jing's art of war was either a fake or just some fragments.

I didn't expect to see the complete version here in Li Mi, which is probably a benefit given to him by God.

No matter how much effort you put into it, you can't let go of this learning opportunity. Li Zaixing secretly made up his mind
