88. Catfish effect
In the end, Li Lizhen still failed to take Yanshi away.
After all, there was no way she could really bring a person of unknown origin into the palace.
It was Luo Taisui who had the vision to find Pei Xingjian to resolve the embarrassment of being alone and widowed in the same room.
Li Lizhen then pinched the curfew and left.
"How's it going?" Luo Taisui asked.
At the barbecue in the evening, the two of them ate the remaining skewers in the vestibule while enjoying the coolness.
On Yanshi's side, Luo Taisui boiled some millet porridge and arranged for her to rest after eating.
"Since I drafted some ideas for the reform of the imperial examination system, I have been appreciated by Fang Xiang and Du Xiang, and they have also helped me improve the list of long names and interpretations, and think that they can be implemented in the reform of the imperial examination."
Pei Xingjian was also proud of this time.
Being able to be appreciated by the names of the Datang Power Center is a treatment that many students can't ask for.
What's more, the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty also knew his name.
"Thank you for that." Pei Xingjian raised his glass and smiled.
If it weren't for Luo Taisui's insights on the reform of the imperial examination system that inspired him, he would still be in the circle of the imperial examination itself, worrying about some things that are difficult to do in the imperial examination itself.
"I didn't do anything." Luo Taisui raised his glass in response.
The tea in his cup, the wine in Pei Xingjian's cup, and the beauty Guan brewed by Luo Taisui.
"Why don't you have a glass of such a good wine?" Pei Xingjian took a sip on the edge of the glass, only to feel that the liquor had entered his throat, and his whole body was excited and trembling.
"I want to be awake all the time." Luo Taisui nodded his head.
Pei Xingjian nodded with a smile to show understanding.
But he'd be wrong.
He thought that Luo Taisui was worried that he would become a fool again.
But Luo Taisui didn't mean that at all.
After crossing into this world, there was a period of time when Luo Taisui was very nervous.
I always feel that this is an era of murder without blinking.
If you're not careful, you'll be killed.
But after a long time, he found that Chang'an was a very safe city and orderly.
People aren't very friendly, but they're definitely not vicious.
It's about the same as the city where I stayed before I traveled.
The difference is that it doesn't seem to be that hard work here, and there is no need to face the constant pressure of competition.
He can do it according to his interests.
Because as a descendant of the late Gong Guogong, he has a lot of income.
With such a life, why do you need to be intoxicated or stimulated by alcohol?
You should be sober and enjoy.
"How are you in the Imperial City Division?" Pei Xingjian asked with a smile again.
I was still preparing for the imperial examination, but I didn't expect that my good brother would become the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Division.
Although the Imperial City Division has only been established for a short time, and does not have the right to mobilize government soldiers, after all, it was created by Princess Changle, who is the most favored by today's son, and most of the members are nobles, and a considerable part of them are still concubines......
I'm afraid that this lineup is envied by the crown prince of the dynasty.
"Okay." Luo Taisui took a sip of tea and looked at the sky with the teacup, "Although there are always some thorns, most people still recognize me." ”
"It's already amazing to be recognized by those ministers' children!" Pei Xingjian gave him a thumbs up.
Luo Taisui smiled.
If someone else is parachuted in to be the so-called deputy envoy, it will cause everyone to be dissatisfied.
But there's something special about him.
He is a descendant of the late Duke of Yanguo.
Luo Shixin was almost killed on behalf of others, and the reason for this was that Li Shimin and other generals who participated in the battle avoided talking about it.
But during the New Year's holidays, the uncles of the Qin Wangfu in the old days would send people to give some wealth and silk things very tacitly.
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
Luo Taisui can gain a firm foothold in the Imperial City Division, and it should be indispensable to the care of these uncles.
Of course, there are good and bad ways to do this.
No amount of care can stop the child's disobedience.
The little cubs of the Cheng family are the best examples, just like entering the rebellious period after birth, they have always taken pleasure in bullying Luo Taisui.
"Hey!"
At this time, Pei Xingjian bumped Luo Taisui with his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Have you seen the princess Changle that you have been thinking about for a long time?" ”
"Don't mention it."
Luo Taisui pinched his nose and said dejectedly: "I haven't seen it until now." ”
"Huh?" Pei Xingjian's face was incredulous, "How is it possible?" ”
Luo Taisui was also very helpless: "Since I joined the Imperial City Division, Princess Changle has been the shopkeeper, and she has asked the governor Wang Xiaojie to pass the word on her behalf......
I shouldn't be this deputy envoy, how good it would be to be a governor. ”
Pei Xingjian laughed when he heard this: "Can't you make it possible that Princess Changle has insight into your crooked mind and is watching out for you?" ”
"Shut your crow's mouth." Luo Taisui raised his glass and touched him fiercely.
Tea and wine were spilled on the floor.
"Hey, there's something I don't know if you've heard?" Pei Xingjian lowered his voice again.
"What?" Luo Taisui didn't know where he heard some gossip again.
It seemed that the stakes were very high, Pei Xingjian leaned towards Luo Taisui again, and almost whispered in his ear: "This time the king of Yue was crowned, the government and the opposition were shaken, and many officials were secretly assessing the situation and preparing to stand in line." ”
It turned out to be this.
Luo Taisui showed a look of disinterest.
Two rookies pecked each other, and in the end, the throne was not cheaper than others?
Now I'm busy standing in line, is he Li Shimin dead?
"Your Majesty is so honored to favor King Yue, I don't know what it means?" Pei Xingjian humbly asked Luo Taisui for advice.
His brother seems to have opened his mind since he was not stupid, and many events can be unpredictable, and he often has amazing insights.
Pei Xingjian would love to hear his opinion on the matter.
"It's just the catfish effect."
Luo Taisui stroked a large string, looked up at the sky and said: "It's like putting catfish in a fish pond, catfish feed on fish and often swim around to feed, which makes other fish nervous, speed up swimming, and stimulate vitality." ”
After a pause, he said: "And Li Tai, the king of Yue, is the catfish that exists to motivate the prince." ”
Yue Wang is a catfish?
Pei Xingjian didn't expect to hear such a statement from him.
It's a little fresh.
And there is some truth to it.
"So......" Pei Xingjian muttered, "Your Majesty doesn't mean to save easily?" ”
"Absolutely not."
Luo Taisui said categorically.
Otherwise, after Li Chengqian rebelled, why didn't Li Shimin make Li Tai the crown prince?
It can be seen that Li Tai has never been in Li Shimin's consideration.
And, one thing is important.
Li Shimin has personally experienced the struggle for the throne.
He killed his brother and killed his brother, and then forced his father to the palace, and he definitely didn't want to see himself in Li Yuan's position in the future.
So once Li Tai has the intention of competing for the crown, then his existence is meaningless.
And Li Zhi does not fight or grab, but can be crowned to the supreme position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
Li Shimin wanted to control everything and successfully complete the transfer of power, but there was one thing that he didn't expect.
Prince, too vulnerable.
