Chapter 33: Change
Lord Du, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is invited, and it must be related to Li He's imperial examination. Li He just said that someone would invite him over after a while. Now as he said, is it possible that Changji really missed this spring?
Not only was Huangfu Xiang's heart heavy, but everyone present was also sad. Shen Yazhi was even more bitter, he would rather not believe that Li He was accurate. Seeing that the entourage outside was urging tightly, Huangfu stood up in a complicated mood.
"Ladies and gentlemen, eat first, and I'll come when I go. ”
After the emperor left, there was silence in the private room for a while.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Quan Xuan hurriedly smiled and said, "What about me? Changji will also help me calculate." ”
Li He looked at Quan Xuan for a while, with a look of appreciation and sympathy on his face. This made Quan Xuan a little apprehensive.
Li He comforted: "Brother Dagui don't worry. Your career is not inferior to that of Brother Gongnu, but your old age has been bumpy. Changji has a message for you. ”
"Please, what do you say?" Kwon Xuan's voice trembled a little.
Li He Zhengse said: "Seek the well-being of the people in good times, and avoid disasters in adversity." Leave the name of the hereafter. ”
No matter how good your career is when you are young, if the evening is bleak, it is not good. Kwon couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
Seeing this, Li He said quietly: "In fact, being born as a human being, career is not the only pursuit. As long as you feel that your value is praised, you have already achieved success. And the most important point is to rely on your own ability to keep your family safe and smooth. Instead of putting his family in danger for the sake of his own career ambitions. Brother Da Gui must keep this in mind. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Kwon Xuan as a sign of encouragement. In his gaze, Quan Xuan gradually became clear in his heart.
stood up and shook Li Hechang to the ground, and said sincerely: "Thank you Changji for reminding me for my brother, and I will remember today's words." ”
In his later career, Quan Xuan was guided by Li He's words and dodged many open guns and arrows. The world says: "The general body of blessings and misfortunes can be the world's family." As everyone knows, it is today's reception banquet that will benefit him for a lifetime.
Wang Shenyuan worked in the Hanlin Academy, and he had little ambition in his career. Seeing that Quan Xuan and Cui Zhi were both counted by Li Hebu, he didn't open his mouth to plead.
Cui Zhi hurriedly said: "Changji also calculated for Mengzhuo, what is his career." ”
Li He and Wang Shenyuan looked at each other and smiled, but did not open their mouths to calculate.
Shen Yazhiqi said: "Changji, what's wrong with Brother Mengzhuo?
Li He smiled: "I have already calculated, Brother Meng Zhuo knows the Tao himself." ”
Everyone was surprised, and hurriedly asked Wang Shenyuan what was going on. In fact, when Li He looked at Wang Shenyuan, he understood his intentions. To give him a soothing smile is to tell him that his ambition should be fulfilled.
Therefore, Wang Shenyuan said with a smile: "Since Changji conveyed it with a smile, presumably Brother Fool's wish should be fulfilled." Mengzhuo is content. ”
"What do you want? We are all close friends, tell us about it. The crowd shouted.
Wang Shenyuan said with a smile: "Changji can pinch and calculate, let Changji help me talk about it." ”
Everyone looked at Li He again.
Li He said with a smile: "Brother Mengzhuo is obsessed with primary school and works in Hanmo. Yu Shitu has no intention, but is more obsessed with learning. He was determined in this life and left a good name for posterity. Good, good. ”
Wang Shenyuan's ambition is to be an educator in later generations, this kind of person will not delve into official careers, but prefer to study knowledge. Therefore, there are not many twists and turns in life, and it is very smooth.
The table was full of people, and Shen Yazhi was left uncounted. Li He didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Shen Yazhi didn't ask for it. Everyone thought that Shen Yazhi had already calculated, and they all asked about the result.
Unexpectedly, Li He said: "Brother Shen is a hard-working person, and he is unwilling to know the future in advance. Nagayoshi thinks that this is fine, and I don't know that the life of Lu Dao is interesting. Brothers, what do you think?"
Except for Li He, most of the people present have been standing for many years. have all experienced the ordeal of going to the test department. Shen Yazhi has not experienced the darkness and hardship of officialdom, so he is still full of longing for the future. The other three were well aware. After several years of career turning, they have all passed the stage of enthusiasm and hard work. Therefore, they are not impressed. They all think that it is better to have a number for the future. Persuade Shen Yazhi to ask Li He to calculate.
Shen Yazhi was moved by his friend's words, and looked at Li He with his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Li He smiled and said: "In the future of Brother Xiaxian, Changji is powerless now. It will take some time to see the clues. ”
All the friends asked the reason in unison. Li He didn't say a word, and only smiled at the end: "Although I can't count the direction of Brother Xia Xian for the time being." But after the end of this spring, all the benevolent brothers are waiting to celebrate the next virtuous brothers!"
That is the title of this Spring Festival, the title of Shen Yazhi's energy gold list. The scholar studied hard, but he was waiting for this day. This is a great thing, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate in advance.
Shen Yazhi has a few catties and taels for himself, and he is still quite self-aware. Busy and humble.
Li He said with a smile: "Brother Xia Xian doesn't have to worry. As long as you are confident and free to play, you should be able to do so. ”
All friends also gave words of encouragement to Shen Yazhi. Shen Yazhi trusts Li He the most now, and seeing that he said it so firmly, his heart is also stable.
At this reception banquet, everyone was talking and laughing, and it was quite harmonious. The emperor in Lord Du's mansion was full of regret.
"Hold it right, it's a bit hard to talk about it. Prime Minister Quan came to me at noon to talk about the Changji Imperial Examination. In view of the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be possible. ”
Du Congyuan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was very embarrassed, and his speech was a little slurred.
At noon today, he was preparing to have dinner at Yamen, when the prime minister of the court, Quan Deyu, sent someone to ask him about it. Du Congyuan hurriedly went to Pingzhangtai with people to meet Quan Deyu.
It seemed that the prime minister of power was useless, and he was pacing anxiously in the main hall with his hands in his hands. After the minister saw Du Shilang, he didn't have time to be polite, and waved away the entourage who was waiting.
He rubbed his hands together and said hurriedly: "Master Du, I'm afraid that Changji's imperial examination will be in trouble." At noon today, the whole Chang'an group was furious, accusing Li Changji of not participating in this Spring Festival. Some people even proposed to withdraw from this Spring Festival and jointly write a letter. If this matter is a big trouble, it will not be good for you, even Lord Han who is far away in Henan will be implicated. ”
Saying that, he sighed and looked at Du Congyuan with deep meaning. It seems that it is to calm the situation and take into account the overall situation. Li He was deprived of his qualification for the imperial examination. Du Congyuan's heart was cold.
He couldn't help but say angrily: "Can you just let the ridiculous words that circulate and refuse talented people to be outside the door?
Minister Quan also looked helpless, Xiao Suo said: "How can the old man not know that Li He is talented. Besides, Dagui and him are still close friends. If he can help, how can the old man do nothing?
Then he lowered his voice and said: "Don't you know that the emperor has always looked at Li He unpleasantly? Lord Han wrote an article to incite the scholars to build momentum for Li He. The emperor is afraid that he is even more annoyed, but it is not easy to announce it. If you take advantage of this reason, you don't know what to do with it!
Seeing Du Congyuan's unhappy face, Quan Xiangyuan hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, the old man has found a way for Li He to enter the ranks." You don't need the imperial examination to be an official. ”
Du Congyuan's face became happy at this time, and he hurriedly asked: "The Prime Minister still said that it is better to know the Tao with Mingtai." Otherwise, Xia Guan really didn't know how to open his mouth to Li Changji. ”
Quan Xiang smiled and said, "Have you forgotten Li He's background?"
Du Congyuan suddenly realized that he immediately understood the intention of the minister.
"It's also a coincidence, just now I met the prince of Qi who was in charge of the Zongren Mansion in the court. asked him to find an errand for Li He in the name of the children of the clan, and King Qi agreed. Although he is not a serious Jinshi, Li He's talent is unknown to everyone in the world. Why do you have to go through the imperial examination to be convincing? You can use the name of the king of Qi to do this, and don't say that it is my opinion. Otherwise, I won't be able to stand Dagui's commotion when I go home. ”
Quan Deyu knows that the friendship between his son and Li He is extraordinary. If this is known by his son, the family will not be allowed to make a fuss. This morning, Dagui didn't sit still in the yamen, and before it was lunch time, he hurried out. It must have been to see Li He.
secretly complained in his heart that his son didn't understand the world. Li He's qualification for the imperial examination was originally obtained on the right path, and if you go to him so openly to catch the wind, won't it cause the jealousy of others. It's strange to say, the emperor obviously doesn't like Li He, but he even asked Liyuan Music Fang to compose music for his poems. After listening to it, his face was gloomy again. It's hard to guess. Forget it, since King Qi took this matter, it is also the emperor's intention. It can be regarded as an explanation to Li He.
Quan Deyu handed over this burden to Du Congyuan, and he was relieved. Du Shilang was so embarrassed that he repeatedly persuaded Huangfu to take care of the overall situation and not to make trouble.
The most embarrassed and mysterious said: "I'm afraid this matter is the emperor's intention." You persuade Li Changji not to be rash. Since the official is directly awarded, it is okay if you don't take the exam. ”
Du Congyuan has always known that Emperor Fu of the Daoist Dao is short-tempered and narrow-minded. Expecting that he would definitely have a seizure, he first pressed the emperor's big Buddha. I didn't know that Lu Dao waited for a long time, but he didn't see Huangfu have a seizure. Although his face is not good-looking, it seems that he has known the Tao for a long time.
I couldn't help but wonder: "Hold upright, what's wrong with you?
Huangfu smiled bitterly and said, "If it's not me, how can I have the ability of this unpredictable prophet." As soon as Changji entered the Henan Hall, he told me that he would never enter the examination room. I didn't believe it yet. It took a little more effort, and it was all fulfilled. Master Du, you don't have to be embarrassed. Since Changji had expected it a long time ago, he had already prepared for this matter. I'm afraid that the Henan Hall can't live. I've got to go back and help him out. ”
As he spoke, he saluted and said goodbye to Lord Du, and hurried to the first floor.
Before he could reach the first floor, the entourage greeted him from the middle of the road and said, "Li Xianggong and they all went to the Henan Guild Hall. ”
Huangfu hurriedly turned to the Henan Hall again. When he arrived, he saw that all his friends were there, and they were all sitting in the guest room prepared for Li He drinking tea and papers. Shen Yazhi didn't go back to his room, and was anxiously waiting for Huangfu to come back.
Originally, it was still a cold spring period, and the emperor was sweating profusely when he was running back and forth. As soon as he stepped into the door, his gloomy face made everyone's hearts cold.
