Thanks to the reward of the two brothers with a heart and Lu Thirty, the naïve Shura, the monthly ticket of the nineteen brothers of the Blue Helmet, Ah Yong thank you!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The spring in Chang'an was bright and cheerful, and in the days of the spring breeze like scissors in February, I suddenly got another news. ∮ ∮ point∮ ∮ said, x.

In the first month of the sixth year of Qianfu (879 AD), he rarely sent his generals Zhang Lan and Liang Zhang to drive into Fujian (Fujian) and force the Huangchao rebellion.

After Huang Chao fought with Zhang Lan and Liang Zhang, he suffered a major defeat, and the three important generals under Huang Chao, Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan, and Li Hanzhi, surrendered to Gao Yu directly.

Huang Chao, who was frightened by Gao Biao, no longer dared to stay in Fujian (Fujian) for a long time, so he simply led his Yan Gang army south again, and fled frantically to the Lingnan region, intending to avoid the military front of Zhang Lan and Liang Zhang.

Lingnan in the Tang Dynasty is also today's Guangdong region, but the Guangdong region at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the economically prosperous and wealthy Guangdong region that Li Bao was familiar with in later generations are not a conceptual term. At this time, the Lingnan region of Guangdong was synonymous with barren, backward, barren people, harsh climate, and rampant epidemics.

Unless it is a native of the locals, whether it is a court official or a common person, the average person is not willing to go to Lingnan to work and live, Lingnan is an ideal place for the Tang Dynasty government to exile and distribute political prisoners, if anyone is fortunate enough to be assigned to work in the Lingnan area, then 99% of this person will be difficult to get out of this land in his lifetime!

But the desperate Huang Chao has no choice at all, at this time, he just wants to get a temporary opportunity, so as to wait for the opportunity to come back. The final result was that Huang Chao was safe, and once again escaped Gao Yu's pursuit, which made Huang Chao have a deeper understanding of Zhang Ling and Liang Zhang.

After learning that all the Huangchao rebels had left Fujian and fled to Lingnan, the two generals Zhang Lan and Liang Zhang, who were the bandit suppression army, immediately stopped their troops and let the bandits flee.

With contempt for the Huangchao rebellion, the two of them respectively led their troops to stay in the north and south of Fujian and coincidentally started the work of returning to their hometowns, wantonly purging the gentry families involved in the Huangchao bandits, and taking the opportunity to enrich their pockets on the occasion of the purge.

Zhang Lan and Liang Zhang, while making money, did not forget to explain to the court that their move was to eliminate the remnants of the bandits, and said that the soldiers under them suffered heavy casualties in this battle, so they did not dare to chase the bandits hard.

These two people have Gao Biao's support, and the political hall does not dare to do more about this matter, so they have to play this matter according to the facts, Tian Lingzi next to the emperor is Gao Biao's rear and platform, Tian Lingzi was ecstatic after this good news, and he was publicized for a while, and took all the credit for recommending Gao Biao on his body.

Emperor Li Yi was also very happy, and on the occasion of Longxin's great joy, Tian Lingzi was entrusted with full responsibility for the reward of the town navy.

From Gao Yu's bizarre attack on Huangchao, and then contacting Tian Lingzi's publicity, it is not difficult for Li Bao to find out who is behind this invasion.

But it's nothing, since Tian Lingzi was pitted by him once, his momentum in front of Emperor Li Yi was not as good as before, and at this time, Gao Yu won a big victory, and Tian Lingzi was about to show off in front of the emperor again.

Li Bao sighed in his heart after learning the news, the officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty have now become delicate and expensive officials, and people like Huang Chao who are as cheap as grass are very despised.

As everyone knows, they will be trampled under the feet of these untouchables and chaotic people in the future, and they will never be able to turn over, and they will also drag Datang into the quagmire of destruction. It really responded to the famous words of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, "Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat."

Li Bao didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at this time, after all, Gao Yu's trick of "raising his own self-respect" was not his problem, it was the usual trick of all the generals in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, but it has raised such officials and generals, how can it not lose the country?

After sighing, Li Bao cleaned up his mood, and at this time he still had to focus on the upcoming Spring Imperial Examination next month.

When Li Bao sent someone to visit Sikong Tu, Sikong Tu, a member of the ministry, was a little intriguing, and after receiving the worship of King Ji, he neither refused Li Bao's gift, nor did he show any particular eagerness.

Since this official examiner, Wailang Sikong Tu, did not resist Li Bao too much, it means that this person still has a good impression of Li Bao. So he planned to take advantage of the situation to meet him early and see what he really thought.

Three days later, Li Bao set off for Meiyaya, where he made an appointment with the legendary official examiner Wailang Sikong Tu.

Sikong Tu is in his early fifties, with a white complexion, a round face and a wide chin, and a kind smile. Seeing Li Bao taking the lead in saluting, and the etiquette was very standard.

Li Bao raised his hand to support Sikong Tu, and then invited him to sit down, and after the shop guy served tea and pastries, he quickly retreated. Li Bao picked up the teacup and slowly observed Sikong Tu, and at the same time, Sikong Tu was also observing Li Bao.

The two of them each tasted the fragrant tea in the cup, Sikong Tu put down the teacup and said leisurely: "I have always heard that the king is the best at eating, dancing and music, this time I don't know what the king wants to advise when he meets the lowly official, does the king have the heart to share this pleasure with the lowly official?" ”

Li Bao looked at the kind official in front of him and said in his heart: This person is very interesting. "The airman is laughing, don't you know what the so-called is alone?"

Sikong Tu still had a smile on his face, "The lowly official is ignorant, I really don't know, and I ask the king to see him." ”

"That's it, Lone is straight to the point, Lone is for the spring of Jinke this time. You also know that for the sake of fame, the scholars still love to do scrolls, and there are a few scholars under the lonely hand now, who are good learners, and they are desperate to seek a reputation for them in this department. I wonder if the empty staff can help this king? ”

Listening to Li Bao's words, Sikong Tu groaned, and after a while, he said suspiciously: "Please forgive the ignorance of the humble officials, why don't the king go to Cui Shilang of the Ministry of Rites?" Why do you want to go to the humble official, you must know whether this scholar can be on the list or not, it is not up to him to have the final say. ”

Li Bao smiled embarrassedly, "The airkeeper has been absent from Beijing for a long time, and that Cui Shilang is the protégé of the former political affairs hall Cui Xinxianggong, and he is ......"

Sikong Tu looked at Li Bao as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said busily: "Yes, yes." It is a lowly official who is confused, and he asks the king to forgive his sins. But it's useless for the king to find a lowly official. The humble position is lowly, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help the king. ”

Li Bao heard the rejection behind Sikong Tu's kindness, but he couldn't tolerate the rejection of this petty official, so he said loudly: "It is very rare for Gu Su to hear that Sikong is loyal and righteous to the public, and although he has been impeached repeatedly, he is still willing to stick to his heart. Lone's move this time is not to cultivate Lone's cronies, but to allow talents to make the best use of them, and not to let the court have the hatred of missing pearls. ”

Sikong Tu listened to Li Bao's words, still smiling, and he said indifferently: "Oh, is it? ”

Seeing this guy so cold, Li Bao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. His painstaking efforts are just to let Jing Xiang and Wei Zhuang make the best use of their talents, but in the eyes of others, he still can't get rid of the suspicion of forming a party for personal gain.

However, this official examiner Wailang is just a six-rank official, and Li Bao can't exert any pressure on him. This person is a pure scholar who has no desire and is strong, and there are still too few such people in Datang.

Li Bao's original plan was to let him leak the exam questions, but he couldn't say it in his mouth for a long time, and finally had to give up. In the end, Li Bao was about to give up, and then called a guy to ask him to take some more signature pastries from the store and pack them for Sikong Tu.

Sikong Tu saw this legendary auspicious king Li Bao leaving alone, and his heart was inexplicably a little lost. He also hears about King Ji's character and deeds on weekdays, and knows that he is not with other royal families and Tian Lingzi's eunuchs, but as a civil official, his integrity and belief in his heart do not allow him to bow his head like any powerful person.

This auspicious king Li Bao wanted to ask for something from himself several times, but he held back. This made Sikong Tu a little curious, why the young prince who was in power in Chang'an City, the most favored clan of the official family, did not force this little official to do something for him.

However, he didn't ask that he would be better, after all, he had already made an oath to stick to his heart, so it was better, and he was not in a dilemma.

Sikong Tu enjoyed the exquisite pastries and delicacies he had been curious about for a long time in the private room of Mei Yaya alone, and then went home with a large bag of delicacies.

Li Bao returned to King Ji's mansion and sat alone in the study thinking about how to deal with this matter, since he could not afford to lose this matter, but the officials in charge this time were all ethical and virtuous, and Li Bao could not force it.

Ling'er saw that Li Bao was sitting alone, so she quietly came to Li Bao's side, and then pressed Li Bao's shoulder with her bare hand, and said softly: "What is Lang Jun thinking, thinking so distractedly?" The concubine came in, and you didn't even notice it. ”

Li Bao stretched out his hand to grab Ling'er's soft and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm just worried that the current imperial examination may not be able to help Jing Xiang and Wei Zhuang and other scholars get their wish." ”

When Ling'er heard this, she was surprised and said: "The official in charge of this matter didn't even give Lang Jun face, is his back and platform very big?" ”

Li Bao pulled Ling'er over, let her sit in his arms, and then carefully told Ling'er what happened, and after finishing speaking, he said dejectedly: "That's the thing, the official in charge, Cui Lian, is not afraid of our power, this is the difficult place." ”

After listening to Li Bao's words, Ling'er turned around, looked at Li Bao, and said softly: "Lang Jun, you are very good." ”

Li Baoqi said: "Where did Ling'er start with this? ”

Ling'er flashed her big eyes and said to Li Bao: "With Lang Jun's intelligence, there is no need to think about this kind of person who doesn't know how to lift, and the Jin Luanwei in our hands has already become the climate, and it is effortless to remove this small waiter of the Ministry of Rites." Or you can also arrange someone to splash dirty water, and it is very simple to make him lose his official position and abandon his post, that is, Jingzhao Yin Zhao Zhizhao is very good at this kind of work.

But Lang Jun would rather be embarrassed than use this means, which can only show that Lang Jun can't bear to do this, so the concubine said to Lang Jun, you are very good. ”

Li Bao laughed, hugged Ling'er on her pretty face, kissed her fiercely, and said, "It's still my Ling'er who knows me best." ”

Ling'er's pretty face flew and said coquettishly: "Lang Jun is annoying, don't be like this in broad daylight, the concubine still has something to say to you." ”

Li Bao buried his face in Ling'er's neck, and said leisurely: "Things can be talked about later, let's be busy with other things first." ”

Ling'er became short of breath with Li Bao's movements, and she said intermittently: "Lang Jun doesn't want to know how to solve the problem of the imperial examination this time?" ”

When Li Bao heard this, his heart was shocked, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Ling'er in a daze, and said urgently: "Ling'er, do you have a way?" Then speak up. ”
