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

Page 1174

"Mr. Ganwu is well!"

There were quite a few people who came to the banquet.

The number of officials above the fifth rank of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an is calculated in hundreds.

Even if it is only [-]%, it is enough to squeeze Tang Jian to the full.

You know, it's not just officials who are above the fifth rank.

The Marquis is in the third rank, and the man in Jianguo County is equal to the fifth rank.

From this point of view, the people above the fifth rank in Chang'an City are no less than dogs.

After welcoming the guests outside for more than half an hour, Tang Meng hung his sore waist and said to Tang Shanshi: "Old Wu, you've lost face!"

Hearing his words full of ridicule, Tang Shanzhi was quite dissatisfied.

"Our father didn't say that this banquet was prepared for me, what do you think, big brother?"

Tang Songling, the boss of the Tang family, sneered and said, "At first I also thought that our father was just using you as an excuse, but now it seems that it may not be so."

As he spoke, he pointed towards the distance.

The brothers were shocked when they saw this, and trotted down the steps.

At the intersection of the street, there was a guard of honor walking slowly.

"See Your Royal Highness!"

Far away, the seven brothers bowed and cupped their hands, shouting at the top of their lungs.

This move was not to please the prince, but to let others listen.

The princes who are watching the government are here, how much face is this? !

As we all know, Prince Li Chengqian can be regarded as three people.

One is the ordinary prince, the other is the prince of Jianguo, and the other is the prince of Guanzheng.

Ordinary princes live a particularly miserable life, like a target, as long as they go up to court, they will be sprayed with blood by the officials.

Prince Jianguo and Prince Guanzheng are different.

In a sense, these two identities already have the mold of the emperor.

Whether it was during the period of supervising the country or during the period of observing the government, the prince did not communicate with foreign ministers.

This time, it was the first time!

The guests who had entered the mansion of the Duke of Ju came out one after another.

Tang Jian led the crowd out, came to the front of the seven brothers of the Tang family, bowed and cupped their hands.

"See the prince!"

Li Chengqian stepped down from the guard of honor, and the egg-sized pearl on the crown shook so much that people couldn't keep their eyes open.

"Mr. Ju, please hurry up. If the emperor finds out, I'm afraid Chengqian will inevitably be punished."

The crown prince's imperial power has become more and more proficient.

"The crown prince offended the old minister"

Tang Jian said, and invited Li Chengqian in.

The guests saluted.

"See Your Royal Highness!"

"Hejian Uncle Wang is here too? Jiangxia Uncle Wang! Xiyang Uncle Wang hello!"

Li Chengqian greeted everyone with a smile.

The guests welcomed Li Chengqian in like stars.

The banquet was held in Tang Jian's backyard.

With so many people, if they were in the lobby, they would probably be stacked up several floors.

The rising buffet situation of the Liu family has won the favor of the majority of nobles.

Seven or eight big tents are set up, enough for chatting.

Tang Jian is not qualified to invite people from Wang Ji's circle.

The one with the highest status naturally became Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian deliberately pulled his future brother-in-law to his side.

Tang Shanshi seemed a little cautious.

He was from the Hongwen Academy. Although he has also entered the academy now, he is still separated from Li Chengqian and his inner circle.

Apart from toasting cloth dishes, he just sat obediently and was embarrassed to say a word.

The members of the royal family headed by Li Xiaogong naturally sat with Li Chengqian.

Tang Jian, the master, can only be at the bottom of the same table.

For the sake of his son's future, he planned to let go of this old face.

Li Daozong was drunk, with a piece of stewed meat in between, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that there are a lot of booklets in the south recently, can the prince reveal anything?"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole garden fell silent instantly!

Li Chengqian chuckled, and said, "Uncle Jiang Xia's news is very well-informed, could it be that Master Dai leaked it?"

Li Daozong laughed loudly and said, "Master Dai is a cautious person!"

Everyone laughed dryly, waiting eagerly for Li Chengqian's next words.

Chapter 1534 Gold bricks fell from the sky, and they fell right into my pocket

Li Chengqian held the wine glass and remained silent for a while.

He seemed to be hesitating whether to spit out what was in his mouth or not to these people present.

After a long time, he smiled slightly and said: "The affairs in the south are complicated, and there is a lot of news about Ye Luzi. If it is valuable, there is only one."

Everyone held their breath and looked at the prince with burning eyes.

The imperial court's feats are getting harder and harder to get.

The Second Battle of the Western Regions started five months ago, but it was nothing more than thunder and rain.

The three Shangzhu kingdoms went to settle the payment, and the Western Regions, which couldn't even get together a guard and horse, used a butcher's knife to kill lice.

After such a long time, there was no reply, obviously procrastinating.

As long as it is delayed, those disobedient countries in the Western Regions will rise up!

Only killing can bring about the coveted feats of the Tang military.

These days, the North hardly has any achievements to speak of.

Although the south is not a meritorious service, at least there are some opportunities.

Previous experience told them that wherever Liu Bai was, there was opportunity!

What was different from usual was that when Liu Bai went to Jiangnan, he brought a lot of people with him, but he didn't reveal any rumors.

At the beginning of September, the imperial court introduced the military ticket policy, but it has not seen any effect until now.

News is the most important thing!

The only people who know this news are probably the emperor and the prince.

Li Chengqian whetted everyone's appetites, and then slowly said: "Three days ago, Emperor Father planned to select young talents from various government offices to fill Honglu Temple. A total of about a hundred people are needed. Now, only two people have been appointed. .”

When everyone heard this, their eyes turned green, like a group of old bachelors who have been suppressed for hundreds of years.

In their eyes, meritorious deeds are big naked beauties who can fall off the ground just by looking at them.

Tang Jian asked cautiously: "I don't know, which two are the two?"

Ever since he moved from Honglu Temple to Taichang Temple, he knew that the emperor would definitely use Honglu Temple to make a fuss.

Moreover, it is a beautiful article about the future!

Otherwise, why wouldn't even a veteran official like him, the founder of the country, not play with him?

No one dared to ask what the specific selection criteria were, and no one dared to ask what the young talents were selected to do.

However, from the confirmed candidates, it is enough to infer many things.

Li Chengqian stretched out two fingers.

"One, Wang Xuance!"

Everyone gasped when they heard this!

It is absolutely beyond doubt that the first graduates of the academy are the most valuable.

If you want to ask the most capable person among the first graduates of the academy, [-]% of them will say Li Yifu.

That is a person who, at the age of 16, was able to come up with conspiracies and tricks, and forced the Lu family, who had five surnames and seven favorites, to rebel!

Another adult would think it was Wang Xuance!

This person is also the first graduate of the academy, and he took the entrance exam with Laiji and the others.

When "Zhi Zhi" was established, he was also there.

But he refused to join the editorial board of Zhizhi.

Later, he even refused to enter the court as an official.

You know, people like them are seventh-rank as soon as they enter the court.

Serving the censor in the palace may sound like a weak official position, but he is the person closest to the emperor!

After graduation, he did not take the imperial examination, let alone go to the local government to observe politics.

Instead, he stayed in school and became an ordinary librarian under Lu Deming's command.

With a meager salary every month, I spend nine hours a day on the top floor of the library, in that dark database.

It's been two years now

Affected by the idea of "not bending for five buckets of rice" many years ago, many people insisted that people like Wang Xuance who are voluntary and cautious are the most capable.

His fame, in a certain circle, is huge!

As long as he opens his mouth, no matter if it's Sinong Temple, General Prisoner, or Ministry of Civil Affairs, he can choose whatever position is below the fifth rank!

But he just refused to die, even the emperor couldn't do anything about him!

How big a thing should it be to attract someone like Wang Xuance?

"Which one is the second?"

Tang Jian couldn't care less about his face, and hurriedly asked.

Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously and said, "Liu Rengui!"

Hearing this, everyone gasped again.

A few people even got to stand up with a 'bas'!

Among them, including Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong

They are the ones who really touch the core of the court's power.

Liu Rengui is the only one among the first graduates of the academy who has not received a diploma

It wasn't because he didn't pass the final inspection, but because he gave up on his own initiative.

Because on the eve of graduation, he entered Thai Kee!
