The news of Fengtai Building's large floating banquet spread, and soon countless people flocked to Fengtai Building, some came to congratulate, some came to be happy, and some just came to eat and drink, it was extremely lively.

Li Yuanying was very generous, he told everyone who came to eat with all his heart, he had enough good food and wine, and besides walking around when he couldn't eat, he would add more bowls, chopsticks and cups when he came. He also personally led the little friends to show their faces, and specially wore the light blue clothes given by the court to show off the majesty of Jinshi.

No matter what time it is, most of them are judged by appearances. Seeing that Li Yuanying and his party, both men and women, are very handsome, and their demeanor is quite extraordinary, everyone feels that they really deserve their name in the election, and they all sincerely congratulate them.

Li Yuanying took his little friends to put on a show outside, but His Majesty Li Er was being bombarded by courtiers from all sides.

It’s okay for you to choose your younger brother as Jinshi, and it’s okay for you to let your daughter pass the exam, so why go so far as to choose a woman as the top of the list? Will everyone still be willing to take the Jinshi examination in the future? !

Those who are in the middle of the road are unreliable, let alone mess around in their private life, and even treat important affairs of the court as trifling matter! Some temperate veterans even handed in their resignations angrily, saying that they quit, the court really couldn't stay any longer!

Fang Xuanling first received a lot of people begging for bones, one head and two big, so he hurried to talk about it with His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er was holding his breath when he heard Fang Xuanling say that a group of people threatened him with resignation, and immediately said angrily: "If they want to go back to their hometown to take care of themselves, let them go back, just to make room for those who are capable!"

Fang Xuanling fell silent, and went back to convey His Majesty Li Er's opinion to everyone. Now His Majesty Li Er has already screened several batches of talents through the imperial examination, and there is really no shortage of available people. He is no longer as miserable as when he first ascended the throne, and one person is two people!

What's more, people really got admitted to Jinshi based on their ability.

Li Yuanying had fun for a long time, and in the afternoon, he went to the East Palace to visit Xiao Deyan, and told him about his admission to Jinshi, and shared this great joy with his Master Xiao.

Xiao Deyan knew about it a long time ago. After all, according to Li Yuanying's vigor, anyone in Chang'an City who is not blind and deaf can know. He smiled and congratulated Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying chatted with Xiao Deyan for a while before he realized that His Majesty Li Er had been bombarded for a day and it was very miserable. He hurriedly said goodbye to Xiao Deyan, and actively went to send warmth to his imperial brother! Alas, he is happy, but it is hard for his brother!

Li Yuanying ran to His Majesty Li Er to show his concern, and told His Majesty Li Er to ignore those nonsense people, and if they had the ability, they would write an article that was better than Mei Niang's answer sheet! After Li Yuanying comforted His Majesty Li Er, he asked tentatively, "Brother Huang, when I come back from Taiyuan, will you let me go to fiefdom?"

His Majesty Li Er originally heard Li Yuanying open his mouth and babbled for a long time, but he didn't pay attention to him, so he dropped the booklet in his hand and looked at him after hearing him ask this question.

His Majesty Li Er's expression showed no joy or anger, and Li Yuanying's heart was beating a small drum. He made a positive statement: "When I go to the fiefdom, I must write letters to the emperor from time to time! If the emperor allows me to come back, I will come back to see you every year!" Li Yuanying tried his best to persuade His Majesty Li Er, "It's not that I want to help you repair one. Is the road to Mount Tai? I will explore the road first, and I will find a way to repair the road for you when I get to the fief!"

His Majesty Li Er answered him: "Yes."

Li Yuanying was very happy, and took the opportunity to ask a more aggressive question: "Then when can I go to Tubo to see Wencheng?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Wait until Datang achieves what you said to be a good neighbor and good neighbor before letting you go?"

To do things behind the scenes, you must have the awareness to do things behind the scenes. Not everyone is a fool and cannot see your intentions. At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also wanted to use the strategy of driving tigers and devouring wolves, but it was too clumsy, and he was killed and fled south in a hurry.

His Majesty Li Er is at ease when others go to Tubo, and he is confident that Tubo will receive him well. But Li Yuanying was different. Li Yuanying came up with such an idea, and even made so many movements secretly. What if Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan felt something was wrong and found a reason to kill him in Tubo

Seeing that there was no room for discussion on this matter, Li Yuanying fell silent, and scolded His Majesty Li Er for a while with the same hatred before slipping away.

Although there was no way to go to Tubo, Li Yuanying was happy for a long time when the matter of going to Taiyuan and Jiufan was settled.

It's a pity that Chengyang can't go together.

Chengyang's wedding date was originally set after Chunwei's announcement.

There are quite a few people who return to their hometowns and find good marriages after winning the imperial examination. The imperial court very humanely left a gap for them to enjoy life's great joys.

Chengyang's wedding happened to be in this gap.

It's quite easy to get married in the royal family. Everything will be taken care of by someone. You only need to send someone out. That's how Li Zhi married the Wang family back then. Cheng Yang didn't worry about it, and even devoted himself to the review before that.

If Li Yuanying was the first Jinshi prince in the Tang Dynasty, then Chengyang was actually the first Jinshi princess in the Tang Dynasty.

Compared with the complex perception of Wu Mei, everyone still admires Chengyang, and they are very envious of Du He, the quasi-consort, because not every princess is as gentle and talented as Chengyang, so it is not very easy to be a consort. !

On the day of Cheng Yang's wedding, Li Yuanying, who was the uncle of Yao, did his part to send her off to Du He himself.

After they officially moved into the Princess Mansion, Li Yuanying took the opportunity to lobby Du He to join him in fiefdom.

Du He is working in the East Palace, since he has become Li Chengqian's sister-in-law, his future will not be bad. However, Li Yuanying still felt that it was meaningless for a man to always stay in the East Palace with his ambitions everywhere.

Although he can't compare with the prince, but the sky and the earth are big outside, and he can do everything happily, and Chengyang's good Jinshi status will not be wasted!

At that time, he asked his imperial brother to allow him to build a big ship, and everyone went to sea to play together!

After all, Du He was a young man, so Li Yuanying was very moved by what Li Yuanying said. He went to talk to Li Chengqian about it, and it happened that Li Chengqian also felt that he had nothing to do to help Li Yuanying, so he asked Du He to follow Li Yuanying to fief the land.

Li Chengqian assured Du He that if he wanted to come back in the future, Donggong would definitely keep his place.

So Li Yuanying succeeded in prying Du He onto his thief boat.

Li Yuanying secretly searched for some people here and there, and the accompanying list became longer and longer, so long that he was a little embarrassed himself, and crossed out a few candidates with difficulty. He resisted the urge to scour all the talents he was looking for, and went to his emperor brother with a shy face to clear the way for those who needed to go through formal procedures to take away.

His Majesty Li Er saw the list drawn up by Li Yuanying, and the veins on his forehead twitched.

Li Yuanying also said: "I wrote the list after asking them what they think, and they are all willing." He approached His Majesty Li Er and whispered to His Majesty Li Er, "Brother, are you arguing with Old Wei and the others whether you want to go or not?" Conquer Goryeo? I will go to the east to build a big ship and help you train a group of particularly powerful sea masters. When you give an order, the ship will rush across the sea and go directly to the door of Goryeo's house, scaring them to death!"

His Majesty Li Er felt that Li Yuanying was simply whimsical: "By the time you become a sea master, you will have already finished fighting in Korea."

His Majesty Li Er's determination to fight Goryeo is still very firm.

Li Yuanying said: "Then we have to build a big ship. I heard that the sea is so big that it looks boundless. If you go east, you can reach the country of Wa. There is still a sea beyond the country of Wa. There is no end in sight. I don't know what is farther away. I want to see it!"

Seeing Li Yuanying's eagerness to try, His Majesty Li Er warned with a stern face: "If you let me know that you dare to go to sea, then there will be no place in your fief where you can build ships." It is no joke to encounter danger at sea. You are an aristocrat, blessed with boundless luck, and there is nothing you can do when you encounter strong winds and huge waves. His Majesty Li Er will not allow Li Yuanying to take such a risk.

Li Yuanying was not discouraged, and continued to put forward his new idea: "Then I will not go out to sea, so I will build a big boat and let people walk around the shore to see where they can go. In the future, the boat will be bigger and better. More feet, let people go to see how big the sea is.”

This time His Majesty Li Er did not dismiss his idea: "You can build it and just build it."

Li Yuanying sorted out his fief construction plan in his mind. First, he needed to build a large academy to attract talents from all walks of life. Then he needed to build a road from Chang'an to Mount Tai. Finally, he needed to build some big ships to encourage everyone to explore the sea.

Li Yuanying thought about it and thought it was very good and perfect, so he asked His Majesty Li Er if he could really do these things. rebel!

His Majesty Li Er said: "The imperial court will not give you more money and food, nor will it give you more people. You can do whatever you can."

His Majesty Li Er's attitude is very clear: You can build roads, but the court has no money, so you can figure out how to do it yourself; you can build ships, but the court has no money, so you can figure out how to do it yourself. It’s okay to engage in culture and education, to engage in infrastructure construction, and to explore the sea, but the imperial court will not give you people, so you can find a way yourself!

As for whether to rebel or not, His Majesty Li Er felt that there was no need to consider this point at all. Seeing that Li Yuanying had already flown outside before he lost his mind, one knew how much he disliked being bored in Chang'an.

I still worry that it is more practical for him to run to the sea to play.

Li Yuanying also didn't want His Majesty Li Er to give money to others, he felt that His Majesty Li Er was old and poor, as long as His Majesty Li Er allowed him to play as much as he wanted.

The two brothers agreed on the matter of the vassal. His Majesty Li Er ordered someone to bring a jug of wine, and he and Li Yuanying drank two cups before leaving.

Li Yuanying blushed from drinking, ran back and asked Liu Baolin to watch him worriedly for a while, and made tea to sober him up.

Li Yuanying took the tea and ate it, and the drunkenness just now disappeared completely. He said: "Brother Huang asked me to drink, and I only drank two small cups." Li Yuanying and Liu Baolin shared the good news, "Brother Huang and I have asked for a group of people, and Brother Huang has agreed. When we come back from Taiyuan, we can go together Go to the fief."

Li Yuanying counted Liu Baolin's heads.

Wu Mei definitely wanted to go with him.

Wu Mei and the others are all from serious Jinshi backgrounds. According to the usual practice, the imperial court should arrange official positions for them, but even if they are from Jinshi backgrounds, there are not many positions that can be held. .

Judging from the current situation, even if some people think that the background of Jinshi is a legitimate one, they are afraid that they will not be willing to recommend them to work outside.

What's more, since wherever you go, you will be a local official or an idler in the court, so why not go to fiefdom with him? When she arrives in the fief, there are many things she can do!

Di Renjie and the others are also willing to go with him.

Master Xiao recommended a group of students to him, some of them were officials, some of them were free. He has met them all, and they chatted very well. He likes them very much and is going to bring them all.

The eldest nephew allocated a group of people for Du He to take him with him, fearing that he would let people go out to do this and that all day long, without anyone around him to protect him.

Brother Huang promised to let Wang Yifang be his grand historian, but Lu Zhaolin would also go to fief with them.

Gao Yang definitely wants to go together, earlier he agreed to take her to play in the fief.

Sizi and Hengshan can't be brought along, firstly, they are still young, secondly, they don't have Gao Yang's female crown status that can do things cheaply, and thirdly, he can't take away all the people around Huangxiong, otherwise Huangxiong will become a lonely family up!

Li Yuanying counted to Liu Baolin one by one, his eyebrows beaming.

Even though the day of going to the fiefdom is far away, Liu Baolin has already imagined how lively it will be when she sets out in the future, her brows and eyes are also stained with a smile, and she is also looking forward to the arrival of that day in her heart. However, Liu Baolin found a problem: "Then, where is your little sister?"

Li Yuanying was startled, and found that he had forgotten this important question.

He hasn't married his younger sister yet, what if Lao Wei doesn't allow him to take his younger sister to the fiefdom? !
