Chapter 170: Deciding to Return to Beijing

After Gan Xian Ling finished speaking, there was silence in the room.

There are all smart people present, how can they not hear the Gan County Order not to ask Zhang Xuanqing if he will return to the capital, and directly ask him when he will leave:

Gan County Ling said so much before, it was nothing more than analyzing the pros and cons, it was obvious that Zhang Xuanqing would not go, and the disadvantages outweighed the pros.

And as we all know, what Taoist priests are best at is to seek good fortune and avoid trouble, so in Ganxian Ling's heart, he said so much, he can completely impress Zhang Xuanqing to let Zhang Xuanqing return to the capital.

But is that really the case?

Zhang Xuanqing laughed strangely, how could he not see that the reason why Gan Xian Ling worked so hard to persuade himself must have some purpose. I was about to say that you don't have to bother, Dao Ye really doesn't plan to go back. But suddenly his heart moved, and when the words came to his mouth, he changed his mouth, and even changed his person, and said to Sun Simiao: "What do you think, Brother Daoist, Brother Yuan, and Shenwei are both in the capital, I haven't been together for a long time, why don't you go and have a look?"

Sun Simiao's brows were still furrowed, but his words were somewhat loosened: "It's good to be able to get together with Brother Yuan Dao again and talk about the Tao together." But Brother Dao, do you really plan to take the Dao exam? No...... Do you really think that my Taoist family has the need to take the exam?"

Zhang Xuanqing smiled: "I also know what Brother Dao means, indeed, the real Taoist master is definitely not something that can be decided by a test paper." Not only that, but even the exam is an insult to them. But Brother Dao never thought that not all Taoist priests are people with Taoism. Throughout the ages, there have been countless people who have done a lot of evil to escape the government and become monks, and now His Majesty is holding this test, I am afraid that it is not for them. In fact, our Daomen is still good, I'm afraid that the most worrying people now are still those monks. After all, Shakyamuni's theories of reincarnation, cause and effect, and the theory that color is emptiness and emptiness is color are the easiest to exonerate the prisoner. Just like a few years ago, the current Emperor Taishang rectified the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, and those who are unqualified in our Taoist sect will be selected one in a thousand, and those who are not qualified in Buddhism will be selected one in a hundred. The difference is almost tenfold. Poor Dao wants to see how many monks can stay after this Buddhist test and Taoist test. Tsk, isn't Brother Dao interested in going with me to see the excitement?"

"Uh......" Sun Simiao's face was strange, is it really good to be so gloating?

On the side, Liu Shenwei became interested, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Shi's proposal is good, Master, you can agree." And I also miss Uncle Yuan, and Li Chunfeng's stuffy oil bottle, I heard that he also became an official?"

"Hehe, with the abilities of Daochang Sun and Daochang Liu, if you enter Beijing, Your Majesty may be able to seal you as an official. At least in the Imperial Doctor's Office, there should be a place for two people!" Gan County Ling heard the words and immediately struck while the iron was hot.

In fact, persuading people, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than inducing them to benefit, moving them with affection, knowing them with reason, and coercing them with threats...... Don't look at Gan County, Ling is not very old now, but these things are very skillful.

But alas, he used the wrong person. Sun Simiao hated being an official the most in his life, and when he heard this, his face turned cold and said: "Thank you Gan County Ling for your kind words, but what is the Tai Medical Department, but Poor Dao never thought of going!"

Liu Shenwei knew his master's intentions, in fact, since Li Yuan's time, he had ordered Sun Simiao to enter the Imperial Medical Department; when he arrived at Li Shimin, Sun Simiao became more famous, and he also sent someone to invite him, but he was all rejected by Sun Simiao.

Because Sun Simiao once said that his medical skills save the people of the world, not just a handful of high-ranking officials and nobles. If he enters the Imperial Doctor's Office, he will inevitably only serve the royal family and the minister, which is never what Sun Simiao wants.

Therefore, seeing that the master made the Ganxian Order unable to get off the stage, Liu Shenwei hurriedly played a round and said: "Ganxian Order, in fact, my master means ......"

Facts have proved that people will grow up, in the past, everything was unreliable and only knew how to stab Lou Zi, and at this time he also knew how to help the master talk, I have to say that the power of time is really huge.

Zhang Xuanqing sighed with emotion when he watched from the sidelines, and when Liu Shenwei finished speaking, he also said: "Gan County Order doesn't have to mind, Brother Sun Dao doesn't mean to offend, it's just a ......" He muttered a little, and when Gan County's expression eased a little, he immediately changed the conversation, and asked Sun Simiao again: "What did Brother Dao decide? It's rare that Gan County Ling came to visit in person, and it just so happened that we can go back to Beijing to see Brother Yuan Dao." ”

Seeing that Sun Simiao was silent for a moment, he finally nodded: "It's okay, my arms can't twist my thighs, and we have indeed not seen Brother Yuan Dao for a long time." ”

"Haha! Okay! Xiaguan will send someone to prepare a carriage, and in a few days, he will send the real people into Beijing!" Gan Xian Ling clapped his hands and laughed, completely without the previous half of the unhappiness, made an appointment with Zhang Xuanqing and the three of them, and left happily.

In fact, as Zhang Xuanqing had guessed before, Gan County's purpose was not simple. In other words, to persuade Zhang Xuanqing to enter Beijing is not selfish, but a task. As for Sun Simiao and Liu Shenwei, it can be said that they are just piggybacking on persuasion.

The reason is that Li Shimin sent people to look for Zhang Xuanqing in various places, but he has not been able to find him. Although Li Shimin only sent a few teams of men and horses without publicity, he did not order deliberate secrecy. Therefore, there are countless people in the world who know about this, especially officialdom, almost everyone knows about it.

In fact, there is another thing that the Gan County Order is deliberately vague, regarding Li Shimin's order against Zhang Xuanqing, which only mentioned one sentence to let Zhang Xuanqing go back as an examiner, but made it clear that which county Zhang Xuanqing is in, which county order must say that he will return to Beijing.

When Ganxian Ling first received the news, he was overjoyed and surprised, and he was so happy that Zhang Xuanqing was in the county under his rule, and as long as he could fool Zhang Xuanqing back, it would be a great achievement, and promotion in the future would never be a problem, the question was how much he could be promoted; what was surprising was that if persuasion failed, it would be a merit and a descent, and although the world knew that His Majesty was merciful and might not have sent him to prison, it was very likely that he would not have the opportunity to be promoted in his life.

Now that Zhang Xuanqing has agreed to return to Beijing, everyone is naturally happy. Compared with the joyful Ganxian Order, Li Shimin was a little bottomless in his heart at this time.

"Guanyin, do you say Zhang Zhenren can come back?" Taiji Palace, in the back garden, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian sat in a pavilion, and the former looked worried.

It can be seen that Li Shimin is really interested in Zhang Xuanqing, and there is another point, that is, Li Shimin is really at ease with his eldest grandson Wujian, otherwise he will not show his concern to Zhang Xuanqing again, and he will not show it to a person who is not at ease.

How could the eldest grandson Wujian not know this, since Li Shimin became the emperor, how many times have he shown his true emotions to others? Somewhere in his heart was touched by softness, and he comforted softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhang Zhenren has great powers, and if you feel your heart, you will definitely come."
