Chapter 147: On the Imperial Examination
At the same time as the incident in Dongyue Temple, Li Xiuning had been in a coma for half a month, and Li Yuan was already anxious at this time, even if he set off from Chang'an to Taiyuan early, but the turmoil along the way had delayed too much time.
Although he was left to Taiyuan by the Duke of Tang Guo, he missed the time to take office, and he had to eat and fall as well, and the prince Yang Guang is still eyeing himself now, once he can't take office as scheduled, the prince will say a few words in front of the sage, and it will not be so simple to get away with it.
Li Yuan reluctantly went to visit Sun Simiao, wanting to see if Sun Simiao could go to Taiyuan with him, but was rejected by Sun Simiao, this old Taoist priest had just figured out a little secret of the Changwang villagers in the cold summer and warm winter, and he would never leave at this moment, besides, the life of your Tang Guogong's daughter is fate, and the life of the Changwang villagers in this village is not fate?
The hotter the summer, the colder the Changwang people, the elderly often can't withstand the cold in the dog days, and they freeze to death, the colder the winter, the hotter the Changwang people, they have to hold the ice cubes when they sleep at night, and if they are not careful, they will burn themselves into a ball of coke.
In such a violation of the four times of heaven and earth, there was a human tragedy.
Sun Simiao's doctor is benevolent, and he can't use the methods of the powerful family to oppress him, and Li Xiuning's situation at this time is not allowed to leave Sun Simiao at all, Li Yuan can only ask Chai Shao to take care of Li Xiuning in Puzhou, and at the same time leave Li Shentong and Xu Shi, and tell the two to go to Taiyuan to join him immediately once Li Xiuning wakes up and is in good health.
This Chai Shao was originally in Chang'an to supervise the construction of Yongfu Temple, Chai Leopard flying pigeon biography explained Li Xiuning's situation, Chai Shao is a non-stop fast horse to come, after seeing Li Xiuning unconscious, he instructed Chai Leopard to Fenyang Chai over the years to collect the treasures of heaven and earth, precious medicinal materials to Sun Simiao, where Sun Simiao spoke, Chai Shao must be everything.
Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing also came to visit from time to time, expecting Li Xiuning to wake up and inform Li Pingyang's whereabouts.
Chai Shao learned about Li Pingyang from Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing's mouth, and he was also very curious about this branch of the Li family in Longxi, who had never met, and originally wanted Chai Leopard to make efforts to investigate, but Chai Leopard refused.
When Li Yuan's car left Puzhou, Sun Simiao was going to take Li Xiuning to Changwang Village.
Chai Shao made a mistake for a while, as a native of Hedong, Chai Shao naturally knew the strangeness of this Changwang Village, he was a little worried about whether Li Xiuning could resist the strangeness of the Changwang people, after all, in Chai Shao's eyes, Li Xiuning was a weak woman who had not even cultivated Zhengang.
"On the occasion of spring and autumn, winter and summer, the cold and heat of Changwang people are in transition, and the two will reach a balance, as long as the weather is not continuous rain or autumn tigers, this Changwang people are no different from ordinary people at this time." Sun Simiao said.
Chai Shao still looked embarrassed, Sun Simiao couldn't help but be a little angry, in order to save Li Xiuning, he had spent more than half a month, originally wanted to study the transformation of the hot and cold qi of the Changwang people, how the hot qi was born in summer and autumn, and see if he could solve the mystery of Changwang, but now it is already a delay, and it will take several months to wait.
Before the arrival of autumn and winter, he must re-enter Changwang Village and study the process of the disappearance of the cold qi.
The entire research plan was completely disrupted by Li Xiuning.
During this period, I went to look for Tan Yan, only to learn the cause and effect, Li Xiuning's evil qi is also an unstable source of plague, if it spreads, the people of Puzhou Mansion will inevitably suffer.
And Tan Yan turned out to be already an arhat's fruit position, because he suppressed the evil spirit of the great river, but he couldn't move at all, let alone use the Buddha's light to save Li Xiuning, so he could only ask himself to take action.
The old Taoist priest is a hard worker.
This Li Xiuning seems to be quite fancy, but I don't know why.
Chai Shao couldn't resist Sun Simiao, and he didn't dare to offend Sun Simiao, so he could only promise Sun Simiao to bring Li Xiuning to Changwang Village.
Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing heard about this, and in order to get the news of Li Pingyang as soon as possible, they followed them to Changwang Village, as for Li Shentong and Xu's family, they naturally didn't mention it, Chai Leopard's because he wanted Sun Simiao to regulate his body, and at the same time wanted to kidnap Qin Minghe, he also followed Changwang.
Changwang Village, known as the forbidden land of Puzhou, was moved in by a group of mighty people, but it was lively.
Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing were sitting in the pavilion five miles outside the village at this time, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Last time, the two of them were frozen half to death here, and now they are revisiting the old place, but there is no trace of cold, and they can only admire the wonderful mystery of this world.
"This Chai Shao is an infatuated person." Liu Wenjing said with a smile, "I just don't know when this Li Xiuning will wake up, is this Chai Shao just staying with him all the time?" ”
Pei Lin said, "That's his daughter-in-law whose marriage letter has been set and the dowry has been given, if he doesn't care about it, won't he have a name for being unkind?" Besides, his Chai family is still counting on climbing the boat of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, so that he can be among the gate valves, whether it is from an individual or a family, Chai Shao has to do this. ”
"I just can't listen to your analysis, once analyzed, there is no true love in this world, it is full of interests and calculations, I said Xuanzhen, are all people from your family like this?" Liu Wenjing said with a smile.
Pei Lin smiled bitterly, "You are also from a family, what you said is biased." However, this family is very profitable, which is a well-known thing in the world. ”
Liu Wenjing shook her head, "What kind of family am I, my father died in battle, and this family will decline." The court said to make up for me, and until now, I haven't seen a single hair in my official position, what kind of family do you think I am? The so-called high-grade family without poverty, low-grade without power, and low-grade family, can it be called a family? ”
Pei Lin said, "There is always a chance, now that the world is peaceful, it is difficult to guarantee that one day, there will be no difference between the upper and lower grades of the family in this world." ”
Liu Wenjing smiled bitterly, "Today's saint can be called a hero, for example, this imperial court opens the imperial examination, just to find a new way to attract the world's talents, but the selection of officials and scholars is still the main one in the nine grades, and the imperial examination is only a supplement, so this way of the imperial examination is slightly embarrassing." The high-grade status is not high-level, and the low-grade knowledge is shallow and cannot be examined, which is like chicken ribs. ”
Pei Lin nodded, "But I always feel that this imperial examination is the right way in the world in the future, and appointing people on the basis of merit and meritocracy is the right reason for the cycle of this world." ”
"That's the truth, but there are not many things and places in the world that are reasonable." Liu Wenjing said, "If the imperial examination is to be successful, it must be a master of great talent and strategy, and it can slowly take effect." ”
Then he sighed, "It's really hard to find such a hero, but it's difficult for today's prince to have such an atmosphere." ”
Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing glanced at each other and sighed at the same time.
