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

I don't know how many times stronger than Dali Temple!

This is a job that most children of the rich and powerful can't find!

I'm afraid that only a few "prime ministers" in the court can send their own direct descendants to the province.

But such a great opportunity is right in front of you, as long as Liu Bai nods, he can get it immediately, but he actually refused

Is this kid crazy?

Facing the gazes of all the officials, Liu Bai's expression was normal, he didn't care, he quietly waited for Li Er's answer.

Entering the court as an official?

He did have this plan.

But not now!

The Tang Dynasty was newly established, and the situation in the court was complicated, and the depth of the water could drown people

To put it bluntly, although he has a lot of money, in the final analysis, he is just a son of a wealthy gentry in a small county town. Even if he performed extraordinary today, so what?

At best, he was only witty, and in the eyes of those big shots in Chang'an, he was still unattractive.

Even though he now has Li Er as his backer and Cheng Yaojin to help him, but in this era of Tang Dynasty, Li Er and Cheng Yaojin cannot cover the sky with one hand.

Even if Li Er is the emperor, he will still be checked and balanced by others.

Five surnames and seven hopes!

These aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years are so powerful that even Li Er has a headache.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the muddy waters of the imperial court, he has no advantage at all.

Just now when Cheng Yaojin proposed to let him go to the door, Liu Bai could clearly feel that there were several unkind eyes on him among the officials.

These people are probably thinking day and night, how to send their children to the door.

But now he was preempted by a merchant's son!

In their eyes, Liu Bai might have become a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh!

Once you enter the court and become an official, you will definitely be made things difficult by them.

Moreover, what Liu Bai was worried about was not only the court ministers, aristocratic families, but also Li Er's princes.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of history knows that none of Li Er's princes is fuel-efficient. Those who rebel, fight among themselves, kill teachers, and even slaughter ordinary people are more ruthless than one.

It is not a good thing for Liu Bai that Li Er suddenly found such a benefactor's son, and he valued him so much, at least for the current him, it is not good for him.

Once he entered Chang'an, he would definitely be hostile by those princes.

Instead of entering Chang'an at such an inappropriate time, it is better to stay in Jingyang first, wait a few years, accumulate more background, and look for a better opportunity to enter the court again.

In this way, it will be safer and safer.

Li Er's eyes were slightly fixed, and he remained silent.

After a long time, Li Er let out a sigh of relief, as if regretting, but also as if sighing: "Yes, you are only 15 years old."

Ordinary people are 15 years old, still playing with cats and dogs, after all, they are still children.

However, Liu Bai's performance today made Li Er and the others ignore the fact that he is only 15 years old.

"You're still young, so it's not bad to read more books. I can give you a little more time to think about it. I hope to see you in Chang'an on the Queen's birthday next year."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A smile appeared on Liu Bai's face again.

Now, the officials looked at Liu Bai differently from before.

Whether it was Fang Xuanling or Wei Zheng, they all regarded Liu Bai as a child who relied on the shadow of his parents before, at best, he had some brains.

But now, the way they looked at Liu Bai was completely different.

This young man is definitely not comparable to the children of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City. Just being able to refuse such a big temptation has left those children of the aristocratic families far away, even the princes in the palace. , and far less than

Everyone knows that one year later, when Liu Bai enters Chang'an, he will surely stir up troubles!

Li Er's royal driver went away, and Cui county magistrate, fourth son and others were also taken away.

All fools know that their end will be extremely miserable.

Liu Bai returned to the main hall to rest. As soon as he sat down, he felt that his mind was in a trance for a moment, as if something had been taken away from his mind.

"It seems that the time limit for the possession card has expired, and I don't know what ability it will leave me."

Liu Bai was looking forward to it very much. You must know that any of Zhuge Liang's abilities can be taken out casually, it is no small matter.

Sure enough, the next moment, the voice of the system sounded from Liu Bai's mind.

"[Zhuge Liang] The time limit for the possession card expires, and the possession effect will disappear automatically!"

"Due to the expiry of the possession card, the host has obtained [Zhuge Liang] random ability-watching the wind and rain, and this ability is permanently valid!"

As soon as the system sound fell, Liu Bai saw a flash of white light, which went straight into his mind.

Immediately something more came to mind.

"Observing the wind and rain?"

Liu Bai couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhuge Liang's abilities are all at their peak.

If you can get Zhuge Liang's keen thinking or superb eloquence, it is naturally the best.

But no matter how Liu Bai thought about it, he never expected that it would be to observe the wind and rain!

Is this intended to make him a weather forecaster?

"Forget it, it's better than nothing, and it might be useful in the future!"

Liu Bai can think about it, anyway, there will still be opportunities in the future. Right now, this [Wind and Rain Observation] seems useless, but it may not be useless in the future, something is better than nothing.

Chapter 10: The Pei family was furious and sent Cheng Chumo to the Liu family

Li Er's visit to Liu's house in person is enough to show how much he attaches importance to Liu Bai.

The ministers of the DPRK and China thought that this matter was over.

However, what they didn't know was that when the identities of the four young masters were found out, a huge disturbance was quietly brewing.

Pei Mansion!

Pei Ju, who was ill in bed for seven or eight days, walked to the hall of the mansion with difficulty with the support of the old housekeeper.

Everyone in the mansion had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw Pei Ju appear, everyone stopped talking and did not dare to take a breath.

Pei Ju panted for a while, and said weakly, "Second brother, come here."

Pei Sheng, who was only three years younger than Pei Ju, came to Pei Ju, and said softly with a little fear, "Brother!"

Snapped!

Pei Ju, who was so weak before, suddenly stretched out his hand, and slapped Pei Sheng hard on the face!

Ding Ding Ding-

Pei Sheng took several steps back, and fell to the ground with a 'plop'.

wow——

In an instant, everyone in the hall knelt down.

"Stand up for me!"

Pei Ju's voice was hoarse, and his old face was flushed because of being too excited.

Pei Sheng quickly stood up and said, "Brother, it's all my fault, don't get angry!"

"Father, be careful!"

"Old ancestors calm down"

""

The Pei family members of different generations expressed their comfort one after another.

Pei Ju stood up tremblingly, picked up the crutches beside him, pointed at the people below, and said angrily: "My Pei family is a vassal of the Sui Dynasty, so it's fine if I can't be cautious, but I dare to stand against the aristocratic family Do you think that the emperor is still the King of Qin back then?!"

boom!

He put his cane on the ground heavily.

"For the sake of a few acres of land, it's fine to instigate officials without permission, but you are so stupid to come forward in person! If it's a trivial matter, Dali Temple will always give me some face, but this time, Yuandu provoked the emperor, cough cough cough"

Pei Ju coughed violently, and his body shook even more violently.

"Brother, take care of your health. Yuandu is doing it on his own. If you can't save him, then let him fend for himself!"

Pei Sheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Otherwise, what else can I do? Could it be that you let me put down my old face and ask the Supreme Emperor?"

Pei Ju sat down slowly, calmed his breath and said, "Let's leave the matter of Yuandu here. No matter what Dali Temple does, we can only accept it. Any action will arouse the disgust of the emperor!"

"Brother said yes"

Pei Sheng lowered his head, his heart was bleeding.

No matter how much trouble Pei Yuan caused, it was his son after all.

But this time the emperor was provoked, even if Pei Ju spoke up in person, he might not be able to save him.

After a while, Pei Ju's anger subsided a little, and he sighed, "It's my fault too, I dote too much on Yuan Du on weekdays, otherwise, he wouldn't be so domineering."

"No wonder big brother, because Liu Bai doesn't know what to do. I have some friends in the court. I followed the emperor to Jingyang and saw everything with my own eyes. At that time, if Liu Bai could plead a few words in front of His Majesty, Yuandu would not Down to this point!"

Pei Ju's face darkened, "I'll talk about Liu Bai's matter in the future. Now he is being valued by His Majesty. If anything happens, it will definitely involve my Pei family. Everything will have to wait until a year later, when he enters the capital." Liquidation! In short, my Pei family cannot be bullied by a son of a merchant!"

Different from the tense atmosphere of Pei's family, Cheng Mansion in Shengyefang, which is only a hundred steps away from Anrenfang, is throwing a big feast.

On Cheng Yaojin's wine table, there are already four or five empty wine jars.

In the center of the hall, cups and bowls were messed up, two strong men were wrestling, and the people around them cheered loudly.

From the housekeeper to the servants of the nursing home in Cheng's house, they are all veterans who have followed Cheng Yaojin and experienced life and death. When they drink alcohol, no one will care about the concept of superiority or inferiority.

The concierge was holding the housekeeper's shoulders to chat, and several nurses were surrounding Cheng Yaojin's eldest son to persuade him to drink.

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, "My Cheng family is about to become a scholar, today is a family feast, I'll have a good time drinking it for me!"

Today is Cheng's eldest son, Cheng Chumo's 15th birthday, and likewise, he is also at the age of tying up his hair and studying.

"Young master, the old man has already spoken, so it's impossible not to drink this cup!"

Several nurses laughed and pushed a large bowl of wine in front of Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo took the wine bowl and downed it without hesitation, which attracted a lot of applause.

Cheng Yaojin's face was full of relief, "Ugly cow, I also came from a famous family, but unfortunately my family has fallen, and I have to rely on force to gain status. When I come to you, I can finally gain fame by studying like my ancestors !"

"Father, don't worry, when the child enters the Hongwen Library, he must study hard!"

Cheng Chu stood up unsteadily, reeking of alcohol, and cupped his hands pretendingly.

The Hongwen Academy is the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty. Most of the young officials in the imperial court came from there. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to study in the Hongwen Academy.

But for the Cheng family's son-in-law, it's no big deal.

It's just that Cheng Chumo's tall body and curvy muscles are [-]% similar to Cheng Yaojin, and he doesn't look like a scholar no matter what.

The people in the hall shouted one after another, but they also knew that their young master was really not material for studying.

In that case, it was just dealing with Cheng Yaojin.

A gleam flashed in Cheng Yaojin's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "It's true that I will send you to school tomorrow, but it's not Hongwen Museum, but Jingyang County School!"

"Jingyang County School?"

Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and asked again: "I haven't heard of Jingyang County School, what kind of great Confucianism is there?"

"I just met a little doll named Liu Bai, who is the same age as you. After you entered Jingyang County School, you will live in his house. You two must get along well in the future. I will write a letter tomorrow, and you will be together with me." Take it!"

When Cheng Chumo heard it, his heart immediately blossomed with joy.
