Li Yi left Beijing for five years, and today's capital has undergone earth-shaking changes.
This change is not only manifested externally.
Some iconic buildings are still there, but he is not very familiar with more streets. On the court hall, there are also new generations replacing old ones.
Qin Huan, former Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, resigned due to illness three years ago, and Zeng Shichun took over his position.
The household department is busy with official duties and cannot be distracted. After becoming the secretary of the household department, Zeng Shichun can no longer concurrently hold the position of Jing Zhaoyin.
The daughter-in-law of Liu Dayou, who has been in Beijing for many years, became a mother-in-law. With her keen political sense, she got her wish and got the position of Jing Zhaoyin.
In addition, the minister of the Ministry of punishment also resigned due to illness, and Liu Yishou, the former servant of the Ministry of punishment, temporarily took the position of minister. This generation lasted for two full years.
His second uncle, Li Mingze, did not sit on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but was transferred to the center of the three provinces. At his age, he is expected to squeeze further in his future career.
Those veteran generals in the court also resigned one after another in the first year after the late emperor's death. In the past five years, through the military academy, they have trained many young generals for Jingguo.
Li Yi has received these messages one after another over the years, and what he is looking at now is the compilation of information over the years.
Li Duan came out from the inside, walked to his side, and suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance.
He sniffed and said, "Father, I want to eat fried rice with eggs."
Li Yi put down what he was doing, stood up, and walked to the kitchen.
Li Duan happily followed behind, and said, "Father, can I let Xiaorui taste the rice cooked by Daddy in the future?"
Li Duan, who is six years old, already knows how to read. In the past two years, he and Xiaorui have exchanged letters. Of course, most of the time, he talks and Li Yi writes.
The content of the letter is very naive, probably how much taller he has grown, he can already jump from the ground to the wall, and he agreed to perform for her when we meet in the future...
Li Yi took out the steamed rice and asked casually, "Duan'er, do you want Xiaorui to be your wife in the future?"
"Think!" Li Duan nodded fiercely, and said, "We have made an appointment. When we grow up, I will marry her, so that we can play together all the time."
"That's it..." Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "Then why don't you make egg fried rice for Xiaorui? If Xiaorui likes to eat the rice you cook, she will come to you often..."
Li Duan had a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about it.
He thought for a while, walked up to Li Yi, and said, "Father, teach me how to cook!"
Li Yi handed him an egg and said, "Beat this egg first..."
If you want to grab a woman's heart, you must first grab her stomach. This is a truth that Li Yi wants to teach Li Duan.
The men of the Li family can't do anything else, except that they can't cook.
After Mingzhu ate his egg fried rice, she couldn't eat other people's fried rice, and she couldn't live without him in this life. This is the best example.
When Li Xuan asked Li Duan and Xiao Rui to get married, he didn't agree. However, the two children grew up together as childhood sweethearts. If they really liked each other, he would not stop them.
If Li Xuan makes similar requests in the future, he can consider agreeing first. After all, Li Xuan is very experienced in giving birth to daughters, and has already given birth to three daughters in succession...
Jingping four years, the fifth day of November.
Today is the first day for Princess Shouning to choose her son-in-law.
Li Yi wore the mask that Xu Zheng had prepared for him, and when he walked out of the mansion, he saw two people walking in from outside.
Seventeen-year-old Duan Wu has become slim and graceful, and she is no longer the Chai He girl when he first met.
Li Han is not as fat as before. Li Xuan's family has very good genes. Among the princes and princesses, there is no ugly one. The seventeen-year-old Li Han has long faded his childishness, and he is a handsome young man.
It's just that the beautiful young man looked anxious at the moment, and while chasing the girl in front, he explained: "Duan Wu, you believe me, I really have nothing to do with that younger sister of the Wang family, she, she just treats me as an older brother..."
"She treats you as an older brother or something else, what does it have to do with me..." Duan Wu glanced at him, walked into the house, saw Li Yi coming out of the house, with a look of joy on his little face, hurried over, walked to Halfway through, he stopped abruptly.
It was only then that she remembered that the news of her brother's return could not be told to anyone.
Li Yi rubbed her head, only to realize that the girl now is not the little girl before, just as he let go of his hand, a voice reached his ears.
Li Han stood in front of Duan Wu, looked at Li Yi, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"
Duan Wu came out from behind him and said dissatisfiedly, "Li Han, what are you doing!"
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Do you like my sister?"
Duan Wu blushed, twisted his hands together, and whispered: "Brother..."
Li Han was startled, and asked, "Are you Duan Wu's elder brother?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Although you are King Jin, if you want to pursue my sister, you still have to pass me first."
Although Li Han didn't know where such a big brother came from Duanwu, but at this time, of course, he couldn't lose his momentum, puffed up his chest, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I recently encountered a math problem. As long as you can solve it, I agree with you to pursue my sister."
Li Han almost laughed out loud in his heart. It seems that the elder brother of Duanwu didn't know that he was the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences. When it came to mathematics, who was he afraid of in the whole of Kyoto, the whole of Jingguo, and the whole world
He was afraid of one person, but that person is not in the capital, he is not there, and he is Li Han's world after all.
He looked at Li Yi, smiled and said, "What's the problem, just tell me."
"It's very simple, you just need to help me prove that 'Any even number greater than two can be written as the sum of two prime numbers'." Li Yi looked at him and said, "I still have some things, when will I prove this question?" Come out, come here and find me again."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he turned and walked out. If he delayed for a while, he would miss the first essay test.
There were a lot of participants in the essay test this time. In the test room alone, more than a hundred were arranged, involving more than ten academies in Kyoto.
Coincidentally, Li Yi's examination room happened to be in Shouning Academy.
This is the academy he gave to Shouning back then.
He entered the academy, took out his signboard, found the classroom, and walked in.
The exam hadn't started yet, there were about forty or fifty people in the exam room, all of them were sitting in front of their desks, not looking sideways, waiting for the exam to start.
"Brother, do you want the latest version of the secret betting volume?" Not long after Li Yi sat down, a voice suddenly came from his ear.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a fat man.
The fat man saw him and exclaimed, "It's you!"
Li Yi has a deep memory of this fat man, because when he first arrived in Kyoto, he sold a set of secret volumes of "Leaking Questions" before he stepped into the city gate.
The fat man had a deeper memory of him.
The person in front of him is the only one who bought the secret scroll that sold for ten taels of silver for five Wen.
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Why, is there a new secret paper?"
This fat man is also a talent, he was able to sneak into the examination room and sell fake test papers to candidates - he found that the fat man he knew seemed to be very good at business.
Li Yi looked at him and said, "Old rules, one price, five cents."
The fat man glanced at him, walked up to an examinee in front of him silently, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, the latest version of the secret test paper is sold for ten taels of silver, do you want it?"
The man turned his head to look at him, and asked in surprise: "There is really a secret book, is it true or not?"
This fat man obviously has a flexible tongue, and his eloquence is excellent. His tongue is full of lotus blossoms. After walking around the examination room, his bulging stomach actually reduced a bit. He walked up to Li Yi again and took out a test paper from his stomach. , Said: "The last one, five cents is five cents!"
Li Yi touched the cuffs around his waist, looked at him, and said, "Sorry, I don't have any money with me..."
The fat man sat down beside Li Yi angrily, and didn't speak anymore.
It's nothing more than five cents, but I still want to get it for nothing. I have seen people who are black-hearted, but I have never seen anyone who is more black-hearted than myself!
As soon as he sat down in his seat, an examiner came in from the outside, glanced down, and said solemnly: "Things that are not related to the exam, put them all in the front. If they are found during the exam, they will be dealt with as cheating and the exam will be cancelled." Eligibility…”
Li Yi watched those people dejectedly put the test papers they just bought on it, and several people went down to check it carefully before the examiner cleared his throat and announced, "The literary test begins now!"
