Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"I know how many bowls of rice my servant can eat with this mouth. Your lords have a high position, so don't make things difficult for this little man like your servant."

Fang Xuanling laughed forcefully, and said: "I am waiting for a result, and I hope Director Liu will make it happen."

Liu Jin glanced at the purse, and immediately pushed it back.

"The servant is not afraid to open the skylight and speak the truth. If it is someone else, the things here will be taken away, but your lords are different. If the servant takes it, I am afraid that I will be killed by His Majesty when I go back."

After finishing speaking, he arched his hands, showed a big smile, and turned to leave.

Liu Jin just went out, and the faces of Fang Xuanling and the others drooped by the way.

Fang Xuanling smiled wryly, and said: "Your Majesty does not allow me to wait for an official post."

The meaning of Liu Jin's refusal to accept anything is obvious.

If Li Er allowed them to become officials, how could Liu Jin not accept them?

If you don't accept it, it is equivalent to breaking the rules.

Perhaps, Liu Jin will stay in the palace all his life, so it won't have any influence.

But he always has to go out to work on business, and then, I don't know how much trouble he will suffer

To put it bluntly, he didn't get it done.

Gao Shilian took a deep breath and said, "I asked you to leave a way out for yourself. What a good way to come to the academy, but you don't use it!"

Yu Shinan echoed from the side: "In the future, let's swim with our arms together and teach a few students in our spare time. How fun is it?"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xiao Yu sighed at the same time.

"Who is as lucky as you?"

Du Ruhui shook his head helplessly.

Enrolled as a scholar and entered the court, Liu Bai led a large group of young people to the south of the Yangtze River. There is no doubt that the court will usher in unprecedented changes!

In this changing situation, Li Er's reform of the imperial court may be just a small wave.

But this wave is enough to kill many people!

Just like the great purges after the founding of the Tang Dynasty in the early years, and the big events after the Xuanwu Gate change!

Fang Xuanling and the others watched helplessly. Only a small half of the veterans who once stood at the forefront of the court were left!

No one's seat will be too secure!

Choosing to become an official now is still a quick retreat.

Any further delay, who knows what will happen?

They gave Liu Bai a 'false title' with all their support, not only because they were worried that Liu Bai would be in the south of the Yangtze River and fall into public criticism.

It is also for the future, without Liu Bai's court, leaving a buffer room.

At the very least, no one with a heart will be allowed to make a big fuss about Liu Bai being king.

Now it seems that since the emperor did not allow them to take office, they did not make a mistake by giving Liu Baifeng a false title.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui felt as if there was a big rock in their hearts, it was so heavy that they felt uncomfortable all over.

Gao Shilian and Yu Shinan had already arranged a way out.

At that time, since the academy is busy, it is easy to retire.

Because of this reason, it is consistent with the current policy of the imperial court to attach importance to imperial examinations.

In fact, Xiao Yu is not too far behind.

Xiao Shi, one of the previous candidates for the crown prince's side concubine, will definitely marry one of Li Tai, Li Ke, Li Yin, and Li You.

If these lords don't fall, the Xiao family still won't fall!

Taking a step back, the relationship between their brothers has long been an iron wall.

With mutual help, it can even be called the foundation of the imperial court!

This is not the same concept as marrying a princess

Fang Xuanling looked up to the sky and sighed, "I'm afraid it will be unavoidable, I will trouble Liu Bai."

Du Ruhui smiled wryly and said: "He is very busy now, and if I bother him because of this kind of thing, I feel that I owe it."

Chapter 1361 Playing a rogue belongs to his old profession

We all know that Liu Bai will encounter thousands of difficulties and obstacles when he goes to Jiangnan.

Although people don't know what Liu Bai's purpose in going to the south of the Yangtze River is.

However, judging from past experience, his big move this time will definitely exceed any previous one!

Just the preparation in the early stage has reached a level that makes people shudder!

Since the news spread that Liu Bai was going to the south of the Yangtze River, within a few days, the entire Guanzhong had already become depressed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The specific manifestations are the closed shops and the reduction of small merchants and hawkers on the street.

If you are more careful, you will even find that the blacksmith shop opened in a certain corner is gone, and the restaurants you go to for a long time, the food and drink have lost the taste of the past

And all the piers around Chang'an are full every day, full of people who want to travel!

They dragged their families along, and it could be seen that most of them even took their belongings.

Does this mean to never return?

Parents and officials from all over Guanzhong rushed to Chang'an one after another.

The one who reacted most violently was Chen Zhouping, governor of Shuofang!

He once buckled the gate three times in one day, but he never saw Li Er's face at all.

Shuofang is a poor place.

Next to the old land of Qiangdi, and further westward, you will arrive at those Jimi prefectures in the Duhufu.

He was already poor, but now his property has been moved away, and less than half of the merchants are left. In the assessment by the Ministry of Officials in the coming year, he will at least be judged as inferior.

It's fine if there is no hope of promotion, if it is more serious, you may even be dismissed from office and seized the title!

The assessment by the Ministry of Officials has always been merciless.

They don't care about objective factors.

Since the taxes are less and the people are less, then you, the governor, should be damned!

In fact, the backlash from various places in Guanzhong has been serious enough to affect the situation in the court.

Who doesn't have an old friend?

This is also the reason why many people insist on opposing Liu Baifeng as king.

It's a pity that ninety-nine out of ten of the papers submitted were dismissed by the three provinces.

The only thing left is to live in a certain place, and it is really hard to live, so it will be sent to the emperor's dragon case.

Of course, Li Er just kept these notes and didn't publish them.

If he made some gestures, at least he could extinguish the anger of some people.

But he didn't say anything at all, and he didn't even give the slightest reaction, which made Fang Xuanling and others feel uncomfortable sleeping and eating.

That's when he got on the paperwork for becoming an official.

Once Liu Bai left, it was equivalent to taking away most of Guanzhong's development ability.

The Jiangnan sky is high and the emperor is far away. He can develop however he wants.

Those who stay will have a hard time.

Coupled with the increasingly tense situation in the court, Fang Xuanling and others are far more than simply having trouble sleeping and eating.

It's hard to say, if they continue to stay in the court, the end will definitely not be very good!

The old era is destined to pass, and the wave of the new era is rolling in.

The predecessors certainly made great contributions to the arrival of the new era.

But what they need to contribute is not just hard work.

Maybe, and their flesh and blood

The only way to get out is to retreat bravely in the rapids. The result of greed for power can only be to be shot to death on the beach!

Several bigwigs from the three provinces came to the north of the city together with rare anxiety.

Liu's new house!

As expected, there were indeed many people who came to visit Liu Bai!

More than half of them are students who graduated from the academy this year.

They are about to enter the court.

From the perspective of the academy, Liu Bai is also a real gentleman.

When the School of Computing was founded, many people had attended Liu Bai's class.

The rest are mostly families with related interests.

Their minds are simple.

It's nothing more than wanting to share some of the benefits of the big cake in the south of the Yangtze River.

The carriage lined up for more than a mile from the gate of the Liu family's new house.

Seeing the Fang family's carriage approaching, sensible people gave way one after another.

There are also those who are not sensible.

Duke Kui Liu Hongji, along with his notoriously stupid son Liu Renshi, stopped in front of the Fang family's carriage, refusing to get out of the way.

"Whatever you do, you have to have a first-come, first-served basis. You can't bully us little people just because of your official university!"

Liu Hong is basically a popi.

He squandered his family property at a young age. If his father's status was not respected and he was given the position of You Xun servant, he would have starved to death long ago.

Playing a rogue belongs to his old profession.

In the past, Fang Xuanling and the others had to reason with him whatever they said.

But life is at stake today, who has that patience?

Outside the gate of the Liu family, the people waiting to enter had their eyes opened.

The Prime Minister had his left hand on his hip, and was holding a whip in his right hand. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to swallow the Liu family father and son alive.

Du Ruhui, who has always been a good guy, picked up a knife from nowhere and pointed the blade at Liu Hongji's neck!

There are a few old guys left who want to stop but dare not, so they are at a loss.

Although these two masters are the top civil servants in the dynasty, don't forget that they all led soldiers in the early years!

The defeat of Xue Ju, the eradication of Liu Wuzhou, and the defeat of Song Jingang, these two masters, are indispensable!

Liu Hongji shrank his neck in fright, and hurried to the side.

Seeing that the silly son was still standing there in a daze, he hurriedly pulled him over.

"Fang Xiang, Du Xiang, why are you angry? As an official in the same dynasty, there is no need to tear your face because of some trivial matters."

Liu Hongji apologized with a smile.

Fang Xuanling threw away the whip.

"Liu Hongji, I don't care about you today, if you don't keep your dignity in the future, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"

Several people walked past Liu Hongji and entered Liu's house.

Liu Hongji rubbed his head and murmured: "It's really a fucking strange thing, these old guys took the wrong medicine?"

This is the advantage of the poppier's temperament, which can be bent and stretched!

No matter how embarrassing the situation is, don't take it to heart.

Seeing the awkward eyes of the people around him, Liu Hongji glared and said, "What are you looking at? I can't offend Fang Qiao and Du Ruhui, and you?!"
