Chapter 9 The Three Brothers Gather in Haiming Tower Xiao Liangyuan shaved her hair with tears

Early this morning, Du Shaoling had nothing to do and went to Anxingfang with his baggage.

When he arrived at the door of King Hui's mansion, he smiled and handed his name sticker to the doorman, wanting to meet King Hui. The doorman didn't look at it, and threw the name sticker into the basket behind him. There are a lot of miscellaneous items such as name stickers in the basket.

Du Shaoling's heart was cold, and he snorted: "Master, you are ......"

The doorman snorted and said that King Hui was not there, and asked him to leave quickly.

Du Shaoling was unwilling, sat on the ground, and said that he was waiting at the door, waiting for the prince to return home.

Seeing this, the doorman was quite impatient, pointed to the basket behind him, and said, "Don't you see that basket, they are all waiting for the prince to summon you." ”

Another family member stepped forward aggressively and scolded Shaoling: "Damn, it's just some bookworms; If you don't leave, I'm going to do it! ”

Before the scolding fell, two graceful women, one tall and one short, walked out of the mansion, and looked around the street for a while, as if looking for something. It turned out that the tall one was the daughter of King Hui - the lord of Rongyi, whose name was Li Wu, and the one with a low stature was her maid Qiaozhu. Li Wu is over 20 years old, with a bee waist and a thin neck, a pair of watery eyes under the willow eyebrows, and walks like a weeping willow in the wind.

Seeing it, Shaoling was like meeting a savior, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, took out a name sticker and handed it over.

When the doorman saw that Deng Shi was angry, he stepped forward and pushed him away, shouting: "You kid, you will say that you want to see the prince for a while, and you will stop the county lord for a while, don't get out of here!" ”

Li Wu waved her hand lightly at the doorman, motioning for him to step back; She looked at Shaoling carefully, turned sideways and ordered Qiaozhu to take out thirty yuan and send him away.

Shao Ling's face turned red and pushed it away gently, saying that he was not here to ask for money, but to find an errand in your mansion.

"I want to do an errand," Li Wu sneered, "I don't know what you are capable of?" ”

"I am familiar with the hundreds of schools of thought, and I can write poems and essays."

Seeing that he was not good-looking, Li Wu sighed lightly: "It's a pity that you are in the wrong place, there is no shortage of nerds in the palace." ”

Shao Ling was stunned for a moment, moved his arms a few times, and said, "I can also ride and shoot, fist and foot kung fu, and I should always be a caretaker." ”

Li Wu was amused and said, "Don't blow it, just your body, dry and thin ......"

"Don't underestimate people, don't believe it, find someone to try it out." Du Shaoling plucked up his courage.

After hearing this, the two men looked at each other, set up Shao Ling from behind, and threw him out of the distance with all their might.

At the moment when Shaoling was about to land, he was caught by a person steadily.

Du Shaoling stood firm and raised his eyes to see that it was Li Yunhan, pretending to wipe his nose and saying, "Brother, they bullied me!" ”

Li Yunhan said calmly: "What are you afraid of, there is me." ”

"Ho, there are also accomplices," the two men looked at each other, and the stick on the side rushed forward and hit Li Yunhan.

Li Yunhan calmly and unhurriedly, and with a slight fist and kick, he knocked the courtyard members to the ground.

"What a skill!" Suddenly, there was a shout from not far away; Li Yunhan raised his eyes and saw a young man in a white robe riding a horse and flying over.

When the man got closer, he dismounted, bowed to Li Yunhan and said, "Brother Li, it's polite." ”

Li and Du looked at each other, but it was Wang Jie, and they couldn't help but look at each other and look up to the sky and laugh.

The three of them exchanged a few words, and Wang Jie brought Li and Du to Li and introduced them respectively. Li Wu didn't care when she heard this, she stared at Wang Jie and said eagerly: "Why did the son come, my father is in a hurry." ”

"I was drunk last night, so I'm late;" Wang Jie slowed down and glanced at Li and Du, "It's rare to see old friends today, I want to accompany them, and I won't go to Qujiang to enjoy spring this time." ”

Li Wan frowned when she heard this, and said that if she didn't play music, how could it be done!?

Wang Jie is still stubborn, saying that there are more musicians to play this time, and he is not in the way.

Li Wu persuaded him a few more words, but it was still difficult to convince, so she had to reluctantly agree, and before leaving, she told Wang Jie, saying that the palace would be feasted on the day, and he would not be absent again.

I haven't seen each other for three years, Wang Jie has a lot of emotion, and in order to talk about friendship, he took Li and Du to the most prestigious restaurant in the capital - Haiming Building. Originally, this building was mainly engaged in Gyeonggi and Huaiyang dishes, because of its pure taste, moderate price, and elegant environment, it has gone through more than 30 years of wind and rain and has become the first choice for celebrities and gentlemen in Beijing to entertain relatives and friends.

Entering the building, there is a bronze plaque inscribed by Zhang Jiuling, the former prime minister of the previous dynasty, hanging in the hall, "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time" Ten big characters are impressive.

After the three of them sat down, they chatted a few words, and Wang Jie joked to Shaoling: "If it weren't for Brother Li, the younger brother would be beaten for nothing." ”

Shaoling smiled bitterly when he heard this, and looked at Li Yunhan: "This is called fate; What do you say, brother? ”

Li Yunhan said "um" and said quietly: "Xiao Nan is weak and sickly, I want to buy a jade pixiu for him to suppress evil spirits and dispel disasters, I don't want to happen to this incident." ”

"Alas, Master Shi is leaving, and I have to find another way out," Du Shaoling drooped his face, "This bag of name stickers, or distribute it as soon as possible, maybe you can meet some nobles." ”

"Stop dreaming." Li Yunhan glanced at Shaoling, "The provincial exam is imminent, you should study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind." ”

"Well, that's fine," Du Shaoling sighed lightly, "Whether you can win the list depends on applying for the Ming Jing this time." ”

"You and I are both people with lofty ideals, but there is no way to serve the country," Wang Jie took a sip of wine and said with a melancholy face, "In the early years, in order to serve the country, I went north with the army and sent envoys to foreign domains; The desert grassland sword is wind and frost, but it is still not an inch of success after a few years. Life is impermanent, and sometimes even if you are lucky, you meet the appreciation of nobles and get an errand, but you always feel that you are a lot shorter than those who have achieved fame. ”

"Fame," Du Shaoling snorted, "The water in the field is deep." The government is corrupt, the examiners and the magnates are in collusion, and the scientific examination has long since changed its taste. Those who made the list were either princes and nobles, or some relatives and deceased, while the truly talented people were abandoned. ”

Wang Jie listened and agreed: "That's right, the imperial examination is now useless, but the promotion is very popular; In the long run, the imperial court will have no talent to use. ”

After a moment of silence, Li Yunhan said: "Brother Wang is good at Danqing and good at music and dance. ”

"Where, where," Wang Jie put down his wine glass, "Chang'an rice is expensive, and life is not easy." When I first entered Beijing, it was common for me to be hungry and unaccompanied. Fortunately, the owner of Yuequan Pharmacy kindly took me in, so I had a place to stand, and I begged for food with a paintbrush and a long flute. ”

"Then, how can you get acquainted with the county lord?" Li Yunhan asked.

"In order to make a living, I often go to the homes of dignitaries and nobles to catch up with the field, and I can do everything with musical instruments, singing and dancing; King Hui's Mansion is a frequent visitor, and he has become familiar with the county lord after coming and going. ”

Shaoling was jealous when he heard this, and said that Wang Jie ushered in the send-off every day, and he was really at ease with the wine and beauties.

"It's just a mouthful of food; It's hard to express the bitterness. Wang Jie humbly said.

The three of them drank delicious food for a while, and Li Yunhan said: "In the past, the four sons of Liang Yuan, today we and the three of us are together, only Da Fu is missing, I don't know how he is now?" ”

Wang Jie was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said that Dafu was in Lantai, and he was diligent and respected, of course it was good.

Li Yunhan said "um", saying that Dafu was open-minded and like-minded with him, and he really wanted to meet him.

Wang Jie shook his head, and stopped talking, saying that it was better not to see.

"Why?"

Wang Jie glanced around, looked at Li Yunhan, and said in a low voice, "Brother Li doesn't know. Lin Fu controlled the government and was in the same situation as the East Palace; And Da Fu secretly followed Prince Yu and secretly established the Iron Cloak Society; If you associate with him, you are afraid that you will be implicated. ”

Du Shaoling said: "No wonder he alienated me, could it be said that he did it on purpose?" ”

Wang Jie smiled when he heard this: "If you still hold a grudge, it's all because I didn't tell you earlier." ”

Du Shaoling was embarrassed to pursue it again when he heard it, and sighed: "It's hard to have ambitions, but it's a pity that I have nothing to learn." ”

"It will be difficult for the dark clouds to cover the sun for a long time," Wang Jie glanced at Li and Du, "Maybe one day the new emperor will ascend the throne, and you and my brothers will be able to show their ambitions with a bright future." ”

"The new emperor," Li Yunhan raised his eyebrows, "you mean the crown prince, right?" ”

Wang Jie said "um", saying that although the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, it has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and if you want to eliminate disadvantages and innovate to see the light of day, you can only hope for the prince.

Li Yunhan smiled indifferently and asked: "It's a blessing for you and me to get together, why do you complain about not leaving the prince?" ”

Wang Jie thought for a while and said indifferently: "The government is like a chess game, you and I are spectators, so I have the right to comment." ”

"What a big game of chess." Li Yunhan stared at Wang Jie with blazing eyes, "Do you want to break the game for the crown prince?" ”

"Well," Wang Jie's face sank suddenly, "the day before yesterday, Xiao Liangyuan's father was arrested by Ji Wen, and the prince was anxious about it." Seeing the panicked faces of the two, Wang Jie then explained in detail about Xiao Yu's arrest.

Li Yunhan's heart tightened when he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that the prince is about to have a catastrophe." ”

Wang Jie said "um" and asked him if he had a clever way to deal with it?

Li Yunhan didn't answer directly after hearing this, and said eloquently: "As a king, every time you encounter a major event, you should be able to give up the common feelings of mortals, and you can endure what ordinary people can't bear; If the prince can change at the opportunity and deal with it decisively, he will be spared this disaster. ”

After hearing this, Wang Jie pondered for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully. He sat with him for a while, then suddenly stood up and said that he had an urgent business to do. Before Li and Du could come to their senses, he retreated.

Later, Li and Du had no intention of drinking any more, and slowly vacated Haiming Tower, wanting to return to Shifu.

Halfway through the road, there was a commotion in the crowd in front of them, and with a few gongs, a group of messengers rushed over, shouting for pedestrians to give way.

Li and Du had to stop and huddle into the crowd on the side of the road to watch. I saw more than a dozen servants slowly walking over with a crimson sedan chair.

The curtain of the sedan car opened, revealing the head of a young student. He had a crooked round face, two thin beards, and black bean-like eyes blinking a few times from time to time.

On the side of the road, a middle-aged woman said: "Yo, the chicken king is parade on the street, it's really magnificent." ”

A shopkeeper with a meaty face took two steps closer and complained: "Damn, this kid Jia Sheng is shaking his majesty again, like a little prince." ”

Li Yunhan asked the shopkeeper, who is Jia Sheng?

The shopkeeper glanced at him crookedly, and said disdainfully: "Hillbilly, you don't even know the cockfighting prodigy, it's really in vain!" ”

Seeing this, Shaoling hurriedly squeezed in front of Li Yunhan, saying that Jia Sheng was originally a bad person in Liuhua Town, east of the city, and was very familiar with his cousin Du Miao, three or four years ago, the two were still idle all day long, but I didn't expect this kid to be good at cockfighting and dogs, and he was taken in by the emperor, and he was named Shaoqing of the Taile Department, and now even his father is majestic.

Li Yunhan shook his head when he heard this, and sighed lightly: "If one person gains the Tao, the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven." ”

"Isn't it?" Du Shaoling seemed to be a little uneven, and muttered, "Damn, let's get a chicken to play with when we go back, maybe we will also play famous, and we can wear a mixed official hat." ”

Hearing this, Li Yunhan's nose was sour, and he smiled: "You, don't be whimsical, you don't have that life." ”

It turned out that the reason why Wang Jie left Haiming Tower in a hurry was to see Da Fu.

Wang Jie saw Da Fu and said that the current situation was critical, and the jade-faced Langjun urgently needed to deal with it decisively. It turned out that at the beginning of the establishment of the Iron Cloak Society, in order to act confidentially, the members called each other the prince with the jade face Langjun.

Da Fu was a little stunned when he heard it: "Deal with it categorically......"

"Hmm; broke his arm to save himself, and broke off his relationship with Xiao Liangyuan if necessary. Wang Jie said calmly.

After hearing this, Da Fu's face immediately sank, and he glared at Wang Jie: "She is my aunt...... If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed you would say such a thing! ”

Wang Jie seemed a little timid, hurriedly looked away, and said in a low voice: "The little brother is just a whim and a whim; If Brother Da objected, it should be a joke. ”

Da Fu slowly stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and said, "Concubine Wu died early, Concubine Wei died of illness, and now only Xiao Liangyuan is left." If she makes any more forks, the prince will really be alone! ”

Wang Jie saw that he was a little moved, and plucked up the courage to say that the matter should be decided as soon as possible; If it hurts the prince, he will lose all the plates!

Seeing that his words were sincere and not malicious, Da Fu immediately made up his mind to go to the crown prince to present his words.

Da Fu came out of the house, and rode all the way straight to Shaoyang Palace.

After entering the palace, he met the prince, and Da Fu said that Xiao Yu was arrested, and the next step was that the forest thieves would take advantage of this to make a big fuss and launch an attack.

The prince was worried about this matter, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look frightened, and asked him what he could do? Da Fu proposed that it was better to order Xiao Liangyuan to become a monk and avoid this limelight for the time being.

It happened that Xiao Liangyuan came to find the prince at this time, and suddenly heard Dafu's voice, so he hurriedly stopped by the door to eavesdrop.

Hearing what Dafu said, the prince was shocked and angry: "You can think of it too; Let her become a nun, how can this be done! ”

Seeing this, Da Fu trembled, and hurriedly persuaded the prince to calm his anger, saying that this was Wang Jie's suggestion.

After hearing this, the prince became a little less angry, and said, "Wang Jie, how could he come up with such a bad idea?" It's unbelievable! ”

"Wang Jie said that up to now, His Royal Highness can only survive this catastrophe by reluctantly cutting his love and telling the truth with the refusal of adultery."

"She's your aunt," a few tears squeezed out of the corners of the prince's eyes, "Concubine Wu and Concubine Wei have left one after another, and the palace can't afford to lose her anymore......"

"My aunt treats me as if I was her own, and of course I can't bear it," Da Fu paused, "but for the sake of His Highness, I have no choice but to do so." ”

When the prince heard this, he turned his head to the side and wept silently.

At this time, Xiao Liangyuan walked into the house and said to the prince that what Da Fu said was reasonable, as long as she could keep His Royal Highness safe, she would never say anything.

The crown prince trembled and said, "No, this palace can't lose you anymore!" ”

"Your Highness, they detained the concubine father because they came for you; The concubine is not afraid of death, so why be afraid of any monk! ”

The prince was very moved when he heard this, hugged her tightly and sobbed.

Da Fu couldn't help but have a sour nose when he saw it, and said loudly: "Your Highness, if you don't have any other orders, you will retire under you." ”

"Wait." The prince turned around and eased his senses, "By the way, that Li Yunhan has already been found." ”

"Oh?"

The prince straightened his face and scolded: "What did you, the leader of the Iron Cloak Society, do you, fall behind again this time." ”

Da Fu blushed after hearing this, and he was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. He asked where Li Yunhan was staying, and said that he would leave the rest to himself. After speaking, he took his leave.

The prince looked at Da Fu's distant back and was at a loss for a while, and thought hard in the room for a while, thinking about what to do next? Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, and Cen Shen walked in with a small yellow door, saying that it was the Holy Decree and summoned him to the Linde Hall immediately.

When the prince heard this, he immediately panicked and hurriedly asked why.

The little yellow door had a gloomy face, saying that he didn't know either.

There was silence in the room for a moment.

"Your Highness, the matter is urgent," Xiao Liangyuan pulled the crown prince, "Maybe what Da Fu said is right." ”

The prince's heart tightened when he heard this: "Ai Concubine, you ......"

Xiao Liangyuan smiled sadly and said, "In order to protect His Royal Highness, the concubine can only become a monk." Before the prince could react, she took a short blade from the desk and cut off a strand of long hair.

The prince said with tears in his eyes: "Ai Concubine, you are too ruthless to do this......"

It turned out that Emperor Xuan was very happy to learn that King Jing had returned to Beijing, so he summoned him in the Lin De Palace, and at the same time ordered the prince, Lin Fu, Chen Yeshuo, and Wei Su, the servant of the ministry, to accompany him.

King Jing wore a square scarf and a white robe, he was generous and graceful, and he entered the palace to meet Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan took a closer look at King Jing, and said with a happy eyebrow: "Yo, I haven't seen you for a few months, and Lin'er is growing and strong again!" Good, good; Are you still satisfied with your child's departure? ”

"To be able to share the worries of my father, of course my sons are happy." After speaking, King Jing presented an excerpt, saying that this policy is called "Jing Chu Ten Strategies", which was made when he was stationed in Jiangling.

Gao Jun turned his hand and presented the fold, and Emperor Xuan took it happily, while reading softly: "Jingchu is connected to the north and south, up to Bashu and down to Jianghuai, the terrain is dangerous, rich in products, this is the hinterland of China, the responsibility of the community, unless there is a long-term vision can not be cured." There are ten strategies to govern it, first, thin taxation; 2. Light forced labor; 3. Rejuvenating water conservancy ......"

"Lin'er, is this what you wrote yourself?" Emperor Xuan suddenly stopped and asked.

"Exactly."

"Yes, this article is concise and concise, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, and it is indeed a masterpiece of governance," Emperor Xuan lightly twisted his silver beard, "Lin'er has a great cause, manages government affairs, and is sympathetic to the people's feelings, which is quite the style of my year." Come, give a seat. ”

After listening to the order, King Jing sat down next to Emperor Xuan's side.

Emperor Xuan lightly raised the policy with one hand, and said with a smile: "With these ten strategies, it is enough to govern the country and the world, and what is the way to do it!" ”

King Jing suppressed his pride when he heard this, got up and said respectfully: "Father, although Jing Chu is small, it can have abundant products and the people live and work in peace and contentment; If in time, the government will requisition the people's strength, dredge the river, and remove waterlogging, within three years, the sons will definitely build it into the granary of the world and the paradise of the world. ”

Emperor Xuan smiled: "Wu'er is a great talent, I really wronged you." When you go back to Beijing this time, you don't have to go again. ”

King Jing was quite stunned when he heard this: "Why at this time? ”

"My father has other important things to entrust." Emperor Xuan smiled mysteriously, turned sideways and glanced at Lin Fu and Chen Yeshuo, "Li and Chen are both important ministers of the court, and my father summoned you back to Beijing this time, so that you can assist the two of them in handling the government affairs, and you have a lot of experience." ”

After King Jing thanked Emperor Xuan, Lin Fu and Chen Yeshuo then expressed their attitude, saying that they were willing to do their best to assist King Jing.

Gao Jun walked to the stage, waved his hand lightly at Jia Sheng, the young secretary of the Taile Department, and ordered him to start playing.

Jia Sheng is in his early twenties, with a white face, round face, thick eyebrows and clear eyes, two small mustaches on his thin lips are slightly curled, and he has a smile on his face before he can speak. After receiving the order, he glanced at Taile Cheng Li Qing with arrogant eyes, and Li Qing immediately understood and commanded everyone to start playing.

In a moment, the drums sounded, and the music resounded through the palace in the air.

Lin Fu smiled and said to Emperor Xuan: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, our dynasty has prospered, the four seas have feasted peacefully, the people live in peace, and all countries have come to court; Your Majesty's great achievements are unprecedented. ”

"Your Majesty, all the people return to their hearts," Chen Yeshuo echoed, and then sank his face again, "However, there are always a handful of people with ulterior motives, not only are they not grateful to Your Majesty, but they are really despised." ”

Emperor Xuan suddenly heard this and asked who he was referring to?

"Former left phase Shi Zheng."

Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Shi Zheng, didn't he degrade him and go to Cangwu?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, he still hasn't left. Shi Zheng has a grudge against the dismissal of the prime minister, and calls friends to feast and drink for fun every day, and often has dissatisfaction. Chen Yeshuo replied.

Emperor Xuan's face turned angry when he heard this: "Is this true? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has poetry as proof;" Chen Yeshuo said and took out a manuscript of poetry from his arms and presented it, "This is copied by the minister from the powder wall of Shifu." ”

Emperor Xuan took the paper, only to see that it was written: To Shi and let Xian, worry about the king drunk and sleep. Laugh and ask how Neng'er? Spoil a cup room.

Emperor Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Ridiculous, isn't it just a limerick poem, this can also be convicted?" ”

"Your Majesty, this poem is quite useful." Chen Yeshuo hurriedly defended, "Shi Zheng was exonerated because he was guilty, but he said in turn that it was for 'making Xian'; moreover, in order to cover up his sins, he said that he was greedy and drunk as 'worrying about the king'." Isn't this a mockery of His Majesty and a demonstration to the imperial court? ”

Emperor Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and was noncommittal: "This ......"

Seeing this, the prince hurriedly got up and played: "Father, the sons and daughters think that this poem is self-deprecating, and it may not be a satire of the father. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word." Lin Fula's face lengthened, "Your Majesty is merciful and has repeatedly forgiven Shi Zheng, but not only does he not recite the holy grace, but he is proud of not being an official, and complains a lot about flaunting himself as a clear stream; This poem has been widely circulated, and it is really damaging to His Majesty's face. ”

Chen Yeshuo followed and said, Shi Zheng disobeyed his will and mocked His Majesty, not to be spared!

"This old thing, it's really too deceitful!" Emperor Xuan was very angry, and immediately ordered Wang Gong and Jinghu to arrest Shi Zheng and hand him over to Dali Temple for interrogation, and his family was exiled to Lingnan.

After making the will, Emperor Xuan was still angry, and King Jing hurriedly persuaded him to calm his anger when he saw this; said that the dragon body mattered, why should you be angry with such a villain.

"Okay, my father is not angry." Emperor Xuan smiled, and then moved his gaze to Gao Jun, "Why do you play "Weichuan Song" again, there is nothing new at all!" ”

Gao Jun looked terrified when he heard it, and said that this song was composed by Li Guinian back then, and no one has changed this word since he left.

"It seems that the Taile Department lacks a master of word filling." Emperor Xuan sighed and looked at Lin Fu, "There are hundreds of people on the list every year, why doesn't Aiqing recruit more newcomers to enrich the pear orchard?" ”

Lin Fu was shocked into a cold sweat after hearing this, eased his nerves, and said: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, I have been feasting on the four seas and developing all industries, and the materials available in the world have long been exhausted. Those who make the list are either vain or sour and rotten, and they are really useless! ”

Emperor Xuan snorted after hearing this, and said, "There is really no available talent?" ”

"Your Majesty, what Lord Lin said is very true." Chen Yeshuo replied first, "At present, there are no sages left behind in the Tang Dynasty, as for the scientific examination, the minister thinks that it is really unnecessary. ”

Emperor Xuan frowned when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that Chen Qing wants to ban scientific research?" ”

As soon as Chen Yeshuo spoke, Fang Jue slipped out of his mouth, trembled, and was speechless for a while.

Wei Su, the servant of the ministry, is more than forty years old, with a long square face and a straight nose and bright eyes. In his early years, because he was an honest and honest official, and conscientious, he was promoted from the Lang of the Gong Examination Division to the waiter. Because he was dissatisfied with Limfer's arbitrary and chaotic government, and he was unwilling to flatter him, he was greatly neglected, and he worked as a squire for seven or eight years, and he was often depressed.

He was immediately angry when he heard Chen Yeshuo's words, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the scientific examination has been more than a hundred years, and countless usable talents have been cultivated for the Tang Dynasty, how can it be canceled because of its small flaws?" ”

Emperor Xuan said "um" and said: "That's right, scientific research is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, even if there are some drawbacks, it is better to keep it." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a discussion," Lin Fu shook his spirits, "From this year onwards, the scientific examination may as well be changed to a triennial attempt, which not only saves a lot of material and financial resources for the imperial court, but also soothes the hearts of scholars all over the world." ”

Emperor Xuan agreed with it, and immediately agreed to Lin Fu's proposal, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up a plan before issuing an edict to the world.
