There is a bamboo pole to knock on the door, that is a good thing, but how to knock the bamboo pole is the door of the university to ask, you have to know how to seize the time, the strength has to be just right, the knock is too heavy, the bamboo bar has to be broken, the bamboo bar can not be knocked out, the knock is too light, then there are some sorry for themselves, right? The kung fu is very deep, ordinary people can't play it, but well, for Li Zhen, this thing is not worth mentioning at all, without him, let alone this life, even in the previous life, Li Zhen was also a master in this area, and the craftsmanship was fine, no, in order to knock the big bamboo pole of the prince, Li Zhen did enough homework, thought all the way in the sedan chair, and calculated how to start in the morning.

"Eighth brother, you're here, so that my brother can wait anxiously." Li Zhen had just gotten off the sedan chair, and Li Chengqian, who had been waiting at the gate of the East Palace, greeted him with a smile, and said hello with a smile.

Hehe, the boss is really anxious, hey, you want to find death yourself, and you can't complain that Lao Tzu knocked on your bamboo pole. Li Zhen was very proud in her heart, but she pretended to be flattered on her face, and bowed down in fear and said: "Little brother is one step late, let the prince and brother wait for a long time, capital crime, capital crime!" ”

"Alas, what is the eighth brother talking about, the eighth brother can come to give my brother a lot of face, come, don't say it, go drink in the palace, you and my brother will not get drunk today!" Li Chengqian said very heroically, while reaching out and trying to pat Li Zhen's shoulder, but unfortunately he was too short compared to Li Zhen, this shot could only be slapped on Li Zhen's chest, Li Zhen didn't think it was a big deal, but the prince himself was embarrassed to laugh.

This person is small, and he can't complain that we are tall, hey, I'm really angry, I have to deal with it quickly, or I won't have to knock on the bamboo bar. Li Zhen laughed at herself when she saw the prince's expression, and changed the topic with a busy smile: "The younger brother heard that the prince's brother has rehearsed a new repertoire, and the singing and dancing can be called a double masterpiece, I don't know if the younger brother has eyes today?" ”

Li Chengqian, who was originally embarrassed, heard the word song and dance, and immediately came to the spiritual head, and said happily: "Cheng, as long as the eighth brother likes it, the elder brother will send the entire team to the eighth brother, come, enter the palace!" The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and walked side by side into the East Palace.

Although the prince is not as rich as Li Zhen, he is also a rich person, coupled with his natural indulgence, he is much stronger than Li Zhen in terms of enjoyment, not to mention that those singing and dancing troupes are well organized, even the wine and food are not slightly worse than Li Zhen's mansion, and what is even more rare is that the pomp is much stronger than Li Zhen's, a long brazier will bake the huge hall warmly, making people wonder if it is summer, plus those bright palace maids with crisp breasts and half-exposed breasts shuttle from time to time to dish, pour a wine or something, The spring is bright and sunny between pitching and leaning, making people get a little drunk without drinking.

The wine is good, the food is good, the singing and dancing are good, the eyes and the mouth are not empty, take advantage of this opportunity, when will you not drink freely? Li Zhen would never be polite to the prince, so she naturally let go of the big work and got up quickly, and did not forget to comment on singing and dancing while drinking, and flattered the prince by the way, but she never asked the prince about his original intention of inviting him to the banquet.

Li Chengqian has dealt with Li Zhen a lot over the years, and he knows Li Zhen's city government, but he doesn't feel strange when he sees Li Zhen at this time, and when the song and dance is over, Li Chengqian finally picks up the conversation: "Eighth brother, do you know the situation of the sixth brother now?" ”

What's the situation, hey, it's weird that you kid can know better than Lao Tzu. Li Zhen smiled, shook his head and said: "The little brother doesn't care about those miscellaneous things, come, brother prince, for the song "Loose and Scattered" just now, the little brother respects the elder brother." As soon as the words fell, he picked up the wine bottle in front of him, raised it to Li Chengqian with a smile, raised his head and drank a fine light, lit the bottom of the bottle, and looked at Li Chengqian happily.

Li Zhen is a famous "big wine tank", although Li Chengqian also likes to drink and have fun, but how can he compare with Li Zhen in terms of the amount of alcohol, he has been poured by Li Zhen in various names before his head, at this time there are already some people who can't move much, and then drink it for fear that the words will not be good, and how to pull Li Zhen on the bait, at this time, seeing that Li Zhen is a big bottle dry, his throat and eyes suddenly tightened, and he didn't touch the wine bottle, but said with a smile: "Eighth brother, don't be in a hurry to drink first, my brother is talking about business, and now the sixth brother is in a mess. My brother is very worried about the safety of the eighth brother. ”

, you kid wish Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu would die together, grandma's, come to Lao Tzu to be a good person, no place is disgusting! How could Li Zhen not know what Li Chengqian was thinking, but he didn't break it, and pretended to be a big grin and said: "It's okay, the sixth brother's little brother still knows, and he likes to dance with knives and swords, but well, the heat is still a little worse, and with the will of his father, the sixth brother will not lose his proportion." ”

Li Zhen's words are half-true and half-false, although Li Chengqian is just a mediocre person among the princes of the prince, but after all, he has been rolling in the power center for so many years, so he can naturally hear the truth in it, but this is what Li Zhen, the "general star", dares to say this, others don't have that ability, at least Li Chengqian can't say such arrogant words, at this time, I see that Li Zhen has some self-selling boasts, but he is not annoyed, without him, the more Li Zhen doesn't care about this matter, the more Li Chengqian can succeed, isn't it?

Li Chengqian laughed and said: "What the eighth brother said is, haha, it seems that the elder brother is worried in vain, but ......" In the middle of speaking, he deliberately stopped, and looked at Li Zhen with a strange face, looking like he was waiting for Li Zhen to ask.

Cut, shit, dare to come out to offer it if the acting skills are so poor, it's really a horse who doesn't know how long his face is, yes, seeing how hard you kid plays, let's cooperate with you once. Li Zhen despised Li Chengqian fiercely in her heart, but she said with a puzzled look on her face: "What does Brother Prince's words mean?" Could it be that the sixth brother ......"

"Alas, it's all my brother's fault that he didn't do his duty as a prince, he was lazy on weekdays, and he didn't mention much of his own brothers, this time it's okay, the sixth brother, alas, what should my brother say." Li Chengqian sighed incessantly with a sad expression, and his head shook like a rattle.

"No, Sixth Brother, he really ......" Li Zhen asked very cooperatively.

"Hmm!" Li Chengqian nodded vigorously, sighed and said: "Eighth brother, you know, my brother has always been not very careful, but now that it has reached such a situation, my brother can't do it, it's just ......" Li Chengqian's words were halfway through, and he deliberately stopped, and the way he wanted to speak made Li Zhen laugh secretly again in his heart.

"Brother, don't worry, the younger brother will definitely bring the sixth brother back when he goes, and the father is in charge of everything." Li Zhen patted her chest and said with a very righteous look.

"Okay, with the words of the eighth brother, my brother is a lot relieved, but the eighth brother's safety brother is still not at ease, my brother is really not worried that the eighth brother will go to Longtan Tiger alone**, well, my brother plans to recommend a deputy to the eighth brother, how much can I help the eighth brother, and my brother can feel much more at ease." Li Chengqian said as he stared at Li Zhen with his eyes.

Recommend a deputy to help Lao Tzu? Ha, damn, this bastard is really going to mix sand, hehe, the sixth is just not going back, I'm afraid I'm going to be picked up by that bullshit deputy, damn, this kid is going to roast Lao Tzu on the fire, well, look at this kid's appearance, ten ** begged the old man but failed to succeed, run here to hit the wooden clock, hehe, interesting! Li Zhen saw through Li Chengqian's heart at a glance, but Li Zhen didn't care, left and right Li Chengqian didn't do such bullshit things, I was afraid that the old man would also have some arrangements, without him, the old man wanted to do something to the princes, the prince in front of him was actually the target of the old man, and the other princes were just hugging the grass and beating the rabbit by the way, Li Zhen didn't care what kind of bullshit deputy there was, but well, this kind of bamboo pole sent to the door still has to be knocked, isn't it?

"Brother Prince's beautiful little brother is very grateful, but it's just ......" Li Zhen also said half of his words in a similar way, his face was full of embarrassment, and he waited for the prince to ask.

When Li Chengqian heard Li Zhen's words, it seemed that he was going to accept his own request, and he suddenly became energetic, and said with a smile: "What is the difficulty of the eighth brother, just say that as long as the elder brother can help, the fire will come and the water will go without saying anything!" ”

Ha, then you're welcome! Li Zhen saw that the bamboo pole was about to knock on his hand, his heart was full of pride, and he said with a smile: "So thank you to the prince's brother, there are a few students in the hands of the younger brother, the knowledge is good, but the background is average, well, they are all worshiped under the door of the younger brother, it is a student of the younger brother, it is feasible to enter the way of the scholar, but the elder brother also knows, the promotion of that road is too slow, the younger brother really doesn't want the students to suffer such a loss, no, it just happens that the Hongwen Pavilion has just had a few vacancies, and the younger brother plans to send them to the Hongwen Pavilion, which can be regarded as a good background, I wonder if my brother can fulfill one or two? ”

Hongwen Pavilion is not a national eunuch, it is a noble school, there are only 30 places in total, you can enter the Hongwen Pavilion, that is, you have a guarantee for the official career, not only is it easy to be an official, but it is also faster than ordinary people, which is so easy to enter, the sea of nobles in Chang'an is gone, and the real one can enter the Hongwen Pavilion is less than one hundred, according to the usual practice, even if Li Zhen is out of insurance, those students are only barely qualified to enter the Hongwen Pavilion, if you really want to enter, not only must the old man agree, but also the prince nods, Without him, the Hongwen Pavilion is in the East Palace, and without the consent of the prince, how can he enter the Hongwen Pavilion casually.

Li Zhen's requirements are not too high, but the procedures are not simple, and the prince can only do half of the master, even if he wants to agree, it is very difficult, and besides, Li Chengqian does not want Li Zhen's power to further expand, but looking at the playful smile on Li Zhen's face, he knows that if he does not agree to Li Zhen's request, he is afraid that his request will also be disappointed. After hesitating for a while, in the end, the idea of completely destroying the third child prevailed, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, it's just a few Hongwenguan bachelors left and right, this main brother can still do it, just rely on the eighth brother." ”

Hey, it's done! Li Zhen laughed and said, "Okay, then thank you brother, the younger brother has to tell those students the good news, so that they can come to the door to thank the prince's brother." ”

Li Chengqian's face was ** for a moment, and he also said with a smile: "That's good, hehe, come, my brother will ask the eighth brother to look at one or two of this piece in his hand, if it's no problem, then how about you and my brother co-signing?" ”

The bamboo pole was knocked out, but Li Zhen did not refuse, and took the piece forwarded by the palace maid with a smile, looked down, and was stunned for a moment: How could it be him?
