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

Chai Shao sighed in his heart, knowing very well that although Cheng Yaojin looked rough on the outside, he was actually a person with extremely meticulous heart.

Helpless, he could only lower his voice, and said, "The rascal outside is named Pei, and he is Pei Ju's own nephew. Do you understand now?"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened in an instant, and he said, "Didn't you say such a big thing earlier?!"

There are inextricably linked relationships among these nobles. If one family is unlucky, there will often be a lot of unlucky families.

That's why, after Chai Shao got Wynn's advice, he immediately ordered people to cut off contact with Pei's family.

Chai Shao gloated a little and said, "It's too late to know now, is it possible that you dare to ask His Majesty for leave now?"

Before the words finished, Chai Shao suddenly heard Cheng Yaojin behind him say "Ouch".

Not only the officials were attracted by his voice, but even Li Er and Liu Bai in the main hall looked for it.

Chai Shao's face darkened immediately, he turned around and grabbed Cheng Yaojin's arm, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you too courageous?"

Cheng Yaojin covered his stomach with one hand, pretended to be in pain, and said in a voice that only Chai Shao could hear: "My old woman has a very close friendship with the elder brother of the Pei family. If you don't deal with it quickly, you will save it." Is it my loss?"

After finishing speaking, his voice of 'ouch' became louder.

"what happened?"

In the main hall, came Li Er's slightly angry voice.

Wynn walked a few steps and came to the main hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Duke Cheng suddenly feels unwell."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin walked into the main hall with 'frivolous footsteps' and grinned, "Your Majesty, I just feel a pain in my stomach. I hope your Majesty will forgive my rudeness and go home to take medicine!"

Chapter 8: Cheng Yaojin's acting skills, Liu Bai's acting skills are not bad

Li Er, who was still a little angry just now, saw Cheng Yaojin's painful face, immediately lost his anger, and quickly asked concerned: "Zhijie is always in good health, why is he suddenly unwell?"

Although the monarchs and ministers are far apart, they were all brothers of Paoze who fought together.

Moreover, when the Xuanwu Gate changed, Cheng Yaojin and others risked the crime of confiscating his family and exterminating his ancestors to help him get the throne.

Now that Cheng Yaojin's health is in trouble, how can Li Er not be worried?

Cheng Yaojin pretended to be weak, swayed a few times, and said: "It must have been at the beginning of the year, when he was fighting in the Qiang land, he broke his body."

"Wynn, hurry up and announce the imperial physician!" Li Er said.

Cheng Yaojin waved his hands again and again and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old minister has already prepared good medicine at home, take it back and you will be cured!"

"In that case"

Li Er was about to agree to Cheng Yaojin's return home, Liu Bai who had not spoken all this time suddenly said: "Your Majesty, although the grassroots are ignorant, they also have some medical skills, why not send Cheng Guogong to the back quarters, and let the grassroots come and take a look."

Ok?

Li Er and Cheng Yaojin looked at Liu Bai together.

Seeing Liu Bai looking at him calmly, not seeming to be trying to be brave, Li Er groaned slightly, then nodded and agreed, "Alright, this trip to Chang'an will take two hours, let Zhijie rest with you, I also have There are many things to talk to Wen Yigong."

Liu Bai got up and cupped his hands, then walked to Cheng Yaojin's side, and gently supported him.

Cheng Yaojin complained in his heart, his purpose of pretending to be sick was to return to the mansion as soon as possible to make arrangements, but now Liu Bai messed up the situation.

"Cheng Guogong, please come with the boy!"

Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to let Liu Bai take him into the back house.

Just after leaving the main hall, seeing no one around, Cheng Yaojin immediately said: "Boy from the Liu family, this old man has a chronic illness, and ordinary doctors can't cure it!"

Liu Bai smiled and said: "Grandpa, please sit down in the garden, boy, go and get the medicine right away, I guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease!"

Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that Liu Bai had already turned around and walked into a room.

Not long after, Liu Bai came out with a tray, and on the tray was a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

"Boy Liu, do you want to prescribe medicine for this old man?"

Cheng Yaojin was a little annoyed, thinking that Liu Bai was taking advantage of Li Er's respect and playing tricks on him.

While studying the ink, Liu Bai said, "Of course Duke Cheng will prescribe this medicine himself, and the boy can only order someone to run errands!"

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback when he heard that.

He is a person with a delicate mind. In fact, none of the people who can fight against Li Er and live until now are simple people.

In a blink of an eye, he understood, and couldn't help being a little speechless.

"How did you know?"

Judging by Liu Bai's behavior, it is clear that he was asked to write a letter and then send someone to send it out!

Liu Bai had already seen his intentions!

After finishing his research, Liu Bai filled up his pen and said, "My boy, send someone to deliver the letter. It's better that Duke Cheng will go himself, so as not to make people talk about it in the future."

Cheng Yaojin stared at Liu Bai in a daze for a long time, heaved a long breath, took the pen from Liu Bai's hand, and started writing.

Put the written letter into the envelope and stick the seal, then Cheng Yaojin handed it to Liu Bai, saying: "Boy Liu, my old Cheng's wealth and life, I entrust it all to you, if my Cheng family can survive If it's difficult, I, Old Cheng, owe you a favor!"

He patted Liu Bai heavily on the shoulder.

Liu Bai's expression froze, and he felt that his whole arm was numb.

Realizing that his hands were heavy, Cheng Yaojin laughed awkwardly a few times, and said, "I'm used to being in the ranks of generals, and the shots are not light or heavy, don't mind."

"Duke, don't worry, there are fast horses in the humble house, and the letter must be delivered to the Duke's mansion in less than two hours!"

"You have a bright eye, you are sure to make a big difference in the future, anyway, today is the first time you and I met, and you will call me Uncle Cheng in the future. I can't guarantee that you will kill someone and set fire. Old Cheng will definitely help you out!"

Liu Bai showed a smile, but he didn't refuse, "The kid will thank Uncle Cheng first!"

This is exactly what he wants.

Knowing the history well, he has a good impression of Cheng Yaojin.

Of course, what made Liu Bai treat him like this wasn't just because of that little bit of goodwill.

In the later period of the Zhenguan period, I don't know how many young courtiers were single-handedly picked up by Cheng Yaojin. Whether it was because he liked to make friends with young people or because he cherished talents, Cheng Yaojin was an extremely protective person.

What's more, in the Zhenguan dynasty, capable people will emerge in large numbers, who may be able to die well, and Cheng Yaojin is probably the only one who starts well and ends well.

Befriending him, there are only advantages and no disadvantages!

In order not to arouse Li Er's suspicion, the two chatted in the garden for a while before entering the main hall hand in hand.

In the main hall, Li Er was standing in front of Liu Yongnian's coffin, talking softly.

The corners of his eyes were a little red, but when Liu Bai and Cheng Yaojin came in, they immediately recovered.

"Zhijie, how is your body?"

Cheng Yaojin bowed and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, Liu Bai has extraordinary medical skills. After taking the medicine, the old minister has already recovered!"

recovered?

Li Er looked at Liu Bai with surprise on his face, "Unexpectedly, you are still proficient in medical skills at such a young age?"

"When Caomin was young, he was weak and sick, so he paid more attention to medicine, but he became a doctor after a long illness."

Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was fine, Li Er felt relieved.

"I'm here to pay homage to Duke Wen Yi, and to see you. Now it's time to return to the palace."

Li Er sighed a little, turned around again, put incense candles on Liu Yongnian's spiritual tablet, bowed his hands again, and walked out of the main hall.

Chapter 9: Is this kid crazy?Actually rejected Li Er?

Seeing Li Er coming out, all civil and military officials were shocked.

Many people looked at Liu Bai, looking up and down at this lucky boy.

Wynn stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, your driver is ready!"

Li Er nodded, and turned to Liu Bai, "Just now I know about your wit fighting against corrupt officials and dudes. Since you have such talent and learning, I will take you back to Chang'an, how about becoming an official in the court?"

After all, Li Er said to Fang Xuanling who was standing at the top of the list of civil servants, "Xuanling, what kind of official position do you think Liu Bai is suitable for?"

Fang Xuanling frowned when he heard the words, but he still replied immediately: "Liu Bai is talented, courageous and courageous. The veteran thought that it would be better to go to Dali Temple to sharpen his skills for a few years. In the future, he will be worthy of a great job!"

Dali Temple is the highest official office of Xing Prison in the Tang Dynasty, and it is one of the three divisions, with a high position and authority.

For the families of merchants, and even the families of ordinary officials, this is a great opportunity to reach the sky in one step!

Li Er pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Although Dali Temple is mainly in charge of prisons, it is not a good place to come into contact with criminals every day!"

"The old minister is stupid"

Fang Xuanling was not surprised at Li Er's veto.

As a prime minister, it seems that the scenery is boundless, but after many years in the court, no one knows better than Fang Xuanling the importance of being cautious in words and deeds.

The relationship between North Korea and China is complicated, and one sentence may affect the interests of others.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling proposed to let Liu Bai go to Dali Temple.

Although Dali Temple has a high position and weight, it is limited to Xing prison cases and cannot get in touch with the core of the imperial court.

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and said: "Dali Temple's decision on the case is completely muddled, not a good place to go!"

Unlike Fang Xuanling, he didn't have so many worries, he only wanted to find a better position for Liu Bai.

"Does Zhijie have a good idea?" Li Er asked.

Cheng Yaojin said: "In my old Cheng's opinion, it is more than enough for the Liu family boy to go to the door to save money!"

what?

As soon as this remark came out, all civil and military officials ignored the presence of the emperor, and there was an uproar!

Among the civil servants, a long-bearded old minister rushed out, pointed at Cheng Yaojin's nose unceremoniously, and said, "Cheng Zhijie, what do you mean? The subordinate province holds confidential secrets, and has the right to participate in and discuss state affairs. If you pay attention, it will cause a terrible disaster, how can you allow a young man to mess around?"

Cheng Yaojin seemed to have known for a long time that there would be rebuttals, so he was not surprised at all. He sneered and said, "Don't think that I am ignorant, it is the prime minister's responsibility to participate in politics!"

The long-bearded veteran glared at Cheng Yaojin, cupped his hands to Li Er, and said, "Your Majesty, veteran Wei Zheng, impeaching Cheng Zhijie for neglecting state affairs is like child's play. I hope His Majesty will issue an order and deal with him!"

Li Er's face darkened, "What Zhijie said is not unreasonable, Wei Qing retreats!"

"It is the duty of an old minister to hear the wind and participate in the performance. If His Majesty is displeased, please allow the old minister to resign from the post of Yushi Zhongcheng!"

"Wei Zheng!!!"

Li Er was furious, and shouted with his eyebrows upside down.

Liu Bai looked at Wei Zheng, he didn't expect this skinny old man to be Wei Zheng, he knew that it was time for him to show his attitude.

"Your Majesty, Liu Bai has a request, and I hope His Majesty will allow it!"

Li Er glared at Wei Zheng fiercely, and immediately said to Liu Bai, "If you have something to say, just say it, I am the Son of Heaven, and you don't need to look at other people's faces if you can confer a few official positions!"

slam-la-

Except for Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji and other bigwigs, all the ministers knelt down on the ground, all frightened by Li Er's 'criticism' words.

Wei Zheng's old face turned blue and white, and he gritted his teeth, but he refused to kneel down and admit his mistake.

Seeing Wei Zheng's tough attitude, Liu Bai couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

Worthy of being a talent through the ages

He thought for a moment, looked at Li Er, shook his head and said: "Thanks to His Majesty's love, it is indeed Liu Bai's long-cherished wish to enter the court as an official, but now, Liu Bai has just tied up his hair and left school for several months. It is the misfortune of the court, and the second is the misfortune of the people."

"I hope Your Majesty will take it back!"

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was silent!

Standing behind Li Er, Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth wide and looked at Liu Bai in astonishment.

Wei Zheng also looked at Liu Bai, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Even Changsun Wuji, who had never spoken, suddenly raised his head.

This kid actually rejected Li Er?

Menxia province is one of the three provinces. It is responsible for drafting edicts, reviewing memorials, and has the power and responsibility to master confidential secrets.

Under normal circumstances, after a few years of experience in Menxia province, at least they will be delegated to be a governor or Sima.
