Above Weishui, thousands of boats.

Li Xuan looked at the official ship that was gradually approaching in the distance, and the figure on the official ship was faintly standing, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He Zhizhang is finally back.

Li Xuan looked sideways at his side, Chen Ziang stood on his left, and Lu Zangyong stood on his right.

Bi Gou and the others stood behind Li Xuan.

Among these people, only Chen Ziang knew He Zhizhang, and the others were all scholars and talents he met in Chang'an during this time.

Of course, most of them came from poor families, except for one Lu Zang...... Lu Zangyong, who was born in the northern ancestor of the Fan Yang Lu family.

Lu Zangyong, who was slender on his side, but looked shy, and even a little bad at words, made Li Xuan really a little surprised.

How did Fan Yang Lu's family raise such a son-in-law, no wonder he would mix with Chen Ziang and these people.

Between thoughts, the official ship in the distance was already approaching rapidly, and Li Xuan's face couldn't help but show joy.

Especially when the official ship stopped, dressed in a cyan robe, elegant and indifferent, and even a little lean He Zhizhang appeared in front of everyone, He Ji and He Yi were surprised.

It's just been a few years, and Ji Zhen has become much different, refined and calm.

He Zhizhang served as a county lieutenant under Yu Ze, and it can be seen that this is experienced.

Li Xuan took Chen Ziang, Lu Zangyong, Bi Gou and others, stood a little farther away, and gave up the position of directly greeting He Zhizhang to He Ji and He Yi's brothers.

After all, they are blood uncles and nephews.

……

The black carriage moved forward slowly, He Ji and He Yi followed on horseback on both sides, and Chen Ziang, Lu Zangyong and others behind him also followed on horseback.

They are now going to Pingkangfang to pick up the wind and wash the dust for He Zhizhang, and Li Xuan called Chen Ziang, Lu Zangyong and others as well.

"This is a letter from the subordinate official of Yuxian County to the prince, and it is all about the changes in the situation in Changzhou today." He Zhizhang took out Yu Ze's letter and handed it to Li Xuan.

In today's Changzhou Thorn History Mansion, Yao Yi leads the overall situation as a long history.

Yu Ze, as a fellow county magistrate, although he is a little behind, he is Li Xuan's most trusted confidant.

He will inform Li Xuan of the affairs of Changzhou as soon as possible.

Yao Yi saw many things, but he didn't care much about them.

Everything was sent to Li Xuan in great detail.

Li Xuan, as the governor of the state and the assassin of Changzhou, was able to stay in Chang'an safely, naturally because he had his own set of means.

Before the emperor had other thoughts, Li Xuan had already used all means to control everything in Changzhou.

As for the others, Li Xuan was in charge of Chang'an, and any other troublemakers in Changzhou were all killed.

He couldn't hide all this from others, but he couldn't hide it from He Zhizhang, because he was Yu Ze's county lieutenant, and many things were even done by him.

"In addition, there is this list, and several other scholars who came back with Ji Zhen are also going to participate in the imperial examination of this subject, but the level is still barely after all." He Zhizhang had a trace of worry on his face, he himself was never worried, but others were different.

Although these scholars were born as Tibetan slaves, they were all educated in their early years, and after Li Xuan rescued them from the hands of the Tibetans, he began to let Yu Ze teach them to read.

He even built a government school in his colleagues.

As long as there is a slight achievement, Yu Ze can have the ability to educate, and then slowly rise step by step.

When Yao Yi wants to leave Changzhou in the future, Li Xuan will be able to directly promote Yu Ze to Changshi.

Ensure that the control of Changzhou does not lose control.

"The level is barely afraid, next year the imperial examination may choose a few more people, a little luck, and squeezed in." Li Xuan put the letter aside.

"Is it because of the prince?" He Zhizhang asked in a low voice, looking cautious.

Li Xuan nodded lightly and said: "Count it half, and the other half is due to the Turkic war, the front-line officials and soldiers are frequently transferred, and some people need to be transferred over, and the imperial court is easy and refuses to release people, and it is normal to find a few new science and technology scholars to send them over." ”

"How many of them, are they going to the grassland too?" He Zhizhang looked at Li Xuan with concern in his eyes.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "Once a few of them are lifted, the rest is the affairs of the officials, this king does not interfere, but you ......"

Li Xuan carefully introduced to He Zhizhang most of the situation in Chang'an today.

After He Zhizhang had a general impression, Li Xuan spoke: "Your Majesty specially called you back from Changzhou this time, the original intention was to participate in next year's imperial examination, but now, the Queen of Heaven has a will to let you participate in the compilation of "Cut Rhyme". ”

He Zhizhang's face was full of surprise, he looked at Li Xuan and asked: "Didn't the prince say that Your Majesty wants Ji Zhen to participate in next year's imperial examination, so how can you still have time to participate in the compilation and annotation of "Cut Rhyme", and why do you want Ji Zhen to participate in it as well?" In addition, why can't Lu Zang use it, he is also the most suitable candidate? ”

"He didn't go himself." Li Xuan shook his head.

Since Empress Wu spoke, he could often see outstanding scholars appear in the palace, but Li Xuan had never seen Lu Zangyong.

He Zhizhang was right, with Lu Zangyong's family background and talent, he was enough to participate in the revision of the book.

Li Xuan shook his head and said: "This king asked him, and he said that firstly, there was his brother Lu Zhaolin in the East Palace, and it was not good for him to go again, and secondly, because Chen Ziang and they had not been qualified to enter the East Palace, so they did not go." ”

He Zhizhang nodded slowly, already somewhat understood.

Lu Zangyong and Lu Zhaolin are both the sixteenth grandsons of Lu Zhi, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, and they are brothers of the same generation.

But although Lu Zangyong called Lu Zhaolin a brother, in fact, the bloodline between the two sides has already come out of five suits.

Although they are all descendants of the Lu family's northern ancestors, Lu Zhaolin's first line has always been the long house and long branch, and the Lu Zangyong line is the second son's second house.

Although the long houses before the Sui Dynasty were more developed, after entering the current dynasty, the Lu Zangyong series rose sharply......

"After Lu Zhaolin's family entered this dynasty, the family declined, but they have always been the elder brothers, and now they finally have a chance, and Lu Zangyong will inevitably be suspected of robbing his brother of opportunity when he enters it again." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, his face full of emotion.

There is no harmony between the big families, and the competition for political resources is far more fierce than people think.

But Lu Zangyong is an outlier.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Lu Zhaolin's poor health.

Therefore, Lu Zhaolin worshipped Sun Simiao as his teacher, and Li Xuan also saw the face of the Daomen, so he opened the door to him.

……

"Lu Zangyong's uncle Lu Chengqing was the prime minister of the first emperor's dynasty, Lu Chengqing's grandfather Lu Sidao, and he was the compiler of "Cut Rhyme" back then, and then there is ......" He Zhizhang looked at Li Xuan, and said solemnly: "Lord, this matter, after all, the prince is in charge, although Lu Zhaolin is a famous man in the world, but Lu Zangyong is the most useful to the prince, please consider it carefully." ”

Li Xuan paused slightly, and then nodded with a straight face.

Aside from the rest, the compilation of the annotation "Cutting Rhyme" itself is to show that Li Xianxu cherishes the heart of Nagu and recruits wise men.

But that doesn't mean the family doesn't have much to play in this matter.

In fact, quite the opposite.

Compiling and annotating "Cutting Rhyme" is only the first step, and when the compilation and annotation of "Cutting Rhyme" is completed, the next step is to promote it.

The people of the East Palace want to spread the news in all directions in front of them, so as to hook up the family through "Cut Rhyme".

These were originally things to be done later, but the princess's choice of a son-in-law suddenly appeared made Li Xuan a little distracted.

Lu Zangyong also met by chance today, and Li Xuan hasn't figured out what to do.

Regarding Lu Zang's careful thinking, Li Xuan saw it very clearly.

Although there is no bad feeling, it is not so easy to want him to be used.

But when you think about it, there is nothing else in it.

Li Xuan groaned, and finally slowly spoke, and said: "Some time ago, there was joy in the family, Princess Taiping came with the crown prince, and then said some words to the princess, and the king was also asked a few words, after that, the queen of heaven was exempted from three months of Yulu on the grounds of the king's false words, and at the same time asked the East Palace to consult the scholars from all over the country about the shortcomings of "Cut Rhyme......"

"The prince just said that Chen Ziang is not qualified?" He Zhizhang raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said in surprise: "The prince is saying...... The diva is watching ......"

Li Xuan directly interrupted He Zhizhang and said: "This matter is just speculation, no one knows what the queen thinks, but Lu Zangyong's age has passed, and he is already married." ”

Lu Zangyong is now twenty-five years old and has been married for many years.

Although he is a talented person of the Lu family, he is already out of this kind of thing, which is why Li Xuan didn't want to bring him in.

"In this way, Lord Wang, it is even more necessary to take him in." He Zhizhang raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said seriously: "If the prince intends to do what the queen of heaven orders, he doesn't need to care, but what the prince intends is the prince, then Lu Zang uses it, and the prince must bring it in." ”

Li Xuan lowered his head and groaned.

Lu Zangyong's father, Lu Xu, is now the governor of Wei, and his grandfather Lu Chengli was Sima of Huzhou, but his great-grandfather Lu Chisong was the prince of Fanyang County who was personally named by Gaozu.

In fact, the reason why Lu Zangyong is like a rise is actually related to Emperor Gaozu.

Lu Zangyong's great-grandfather Lu Chisong, that is, Lu Chengqing's father, not only made friends with Emperor Gaozu back then, but Taiyuan directly surrendered to the army, and was the first batch of heroes.

Later, Lu Chisong was still the crown prince Li Jiancheng's crown prince.

But fortunately, before Xuanwumen, Lu Chisong had already died of illness, and he was not implicated afterwards.

Unlike Zheng.

Now Lu Chisong is a branch, and the highest official position is Lu Yuanzhuang, the son of Lu Chengji, the fourth son of Lu Chisong, and now he is the history of Jiazhou Thorn.

But the one who really has the power is Lu Chengqing's son Lu Zhen, who is now a minister.

In the early years, Lu Zangyong did not participate in the scientific examination, but this time he participated in the scientific examination, and it was inevitable that he would be successful, but it was difficult to say that he was the champion.

"Yes." Li Xuan slowly lowered his head, and then said: "This king will pay attention and let Lu Zhaolin not be in the East Palace that day." ”

"It's best, the prince doesn't come forward in person, let others come forward to receive Lu Zangyong." After a slight pause, He Zhizhang continued: "It's better for the prince to show his face, in this way, whether Lu Zangyong can go again in the future is his own creation." ”

"Let Su Liangsi do it, be more open, and go by the way." Li Xuan raised his eyes to look at He Zhizhang, and when he nodded, he continued: "After the queen of heaven was punished, the family has paid attention to the princess's marriage, and this king has begun to take this scholar to participate in the ...... of "Cut Rhyme" again."

"All families who are interested in the marriage of the princess will send their children to participate in "Cut Rhyme", no, to participate in this imperial examination." He Zhizhang looked at Li Xuan, and his breathing suddenly became heavy.

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "It seems that in this case, you have little chance of winning the top prize, but it is precisely because of this that you have the greatest chance of fishing in troubled waters." ”

"Does the prince mean to let them kill each other?" He Zhizhang nodded suddenly.

"You are engaged, although the queen of heaven let you participate in the revision of the book, but it is just a formality, and there are only three or five people who are really qualified to show their prominence in the matter of the horse, and under the competition with each other, it may provoke the anger of Your Majesty, and in the end, this champion will fall into your hands."

Li Xuan looked at He Zhizhang and said softly: "After all, your majesty called you back for this scientific expedition. ”

He Zhizhang nodded solemnly, and then slowly bowed in the direction of the palace.
