Views:

Li Yuanying gathered people to study for many days in a hurry, and was finally noticed by His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er approached Li Yuanying and asked him what he was up to.

Hearing His Majesty Li Er's questioning tone, Li Yuanying felt aggrieved: "Are you still not allowed to take the pheasant slaves to study?"

His Majesty Li Er looked at him suspiciously, thinking that he was not just studying.

Li Yuanying then told His Majesty Li Er about his plans to accompany the exam, saying that his younger sister, the elder brother, seemed to be a promising talent, and he decided to take him as a key training object. How can we avoid some setbacks on the way of growth? He wants to take the pheasant slave and the others to accompany the exam, and whoever does poorly in the exam will be embarrassed, and he will definitely be motivated and work hard because of this!

His Majesty Li Er said leisurely: "I think you just hate that people want to take my sister away, and don't let my sister play with you."

Li Yuanying said: "Am I such a stingy person?"

His Majesty Li Er squinted at him, meaning "you are such a stingy person".

Li Yuanying said: "Brother Huang, do you think this method is not good?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "It's a good idea." Thinking that his younger brother was scolded by everyone for being unlearned and incompetent two years ago, and now he has the confidence to compete with Wei Ying who is two years older, His Majesty Li Er nodded , "Okay, you can go back to study, but don't pass the exam by yourself."

This matter has been agreed by His Majesty Li Er.

Li Yuanying was the best at holding chicken feathers as arrows. His Majesty Li Er nodded, and he went to discuss with Kong Yingda that he would bring Wei Shu, Cheng Yang and Li Zhi to accompany him in the exam after returning to Beijing.

Kong Yingda was very dissatisfied with this kind of nonsense, Guozijian is the highest school in the Tang Dynasty, how could this kid be allowed to be so nonsense. He frowned and said, "How can there be such nonsense?!"

Li Yuanying said: "Brother Huang agreed, if there is anything wrong, why don't you just give me more papers?" He snorted unhappily, "I didn't even think about going to your Imperial College to study, and I wouldn't mind if I were invited." It’s rare to go, I will open a large academy by myself in the future!”

Kong Yingda was angry when he heard it, and snorted coldly: "You have been clamoring to open an academy at a young age, don't mislead your children."

Li Yuanying was not at all cowardly, and blocked back on the spot: "The academy I run will definitely not be like your Imperial College, and I don't even dare to ask others to take the exam."

Kong Yingda said: "Okay, if you want to take the exam, come and take the exam. Don't even fail to answer all the questions when the time comes."

Li Yuanying climbed up the pole and wrote the list of accompanying exams directly to Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda took the list and told Li Yuanying to leave quickly, lest he want to beat him up.

Li Yuanying achieved his goal and ran away happily.

Kong Yingda was provoked by Li Yuanying, and immediately asked someone to copy a few book lists, and sent them to his disciples, asking them to come up with some difficult topics from the books on the book list, and then he picked the most difficult combination As a test question to test these guys who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. Let's see if they can still be so proud by then!

After Kong Yingda finished giving orders, she was still a little unhappy, so she went to find the patriarch of these guys, His Majesty Li Er, and hoped that His Majesty Li Er would take care of them and not let them treat all the places under the sun as a place for playing games.

His Majesty Li Er said: "Since the Guozijian has the rules of the Guozijian, then follow the rules of the Guozijian."

Kong Yingda was startled, and hesitantly asked His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty means that if they pass the exam, let them study in the Imperial College?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "That's natural. Since they feel that they can't learn anything in the palace, let them go to the Imperial Academy to learn something. When they can pass the exam, Kong Qing, you will let them out. "

When studying in the Imperial College, the Imperial College provides all the food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but the conditions are definitely not as good as those in the palace. You don’t even have to think about such a beautiful thing as having a room by yourself and someone nearby to wait on you.

Last year, the Imperial College expanded its enrollment and recruited a group of unmanageable dandies to enter, but Kong Yingda was so worried that he would complain to His Majesty Li Er from time to time, saying that these people were not easy to manage, and all of them ignored the Guozijian's discipline, and often ran home. Said that they even bought the impoverished supervisors to take care of their daily life. If you catch him and say you will be fined, they all say that they are voluntary, and you can't find a reason to punish them. Isn't it true that classmates are not allowed to help each other

As soon as Kong Yingda heard His Majesty Li Er's words, he understood His Majesty Li Er's intentions: His Majesty Li Er attached great importance to the Guozijian, so naturally it was impossible to allow it to become a game place for the children of the family. If you put His Majesty Li Er's younger brother and son in there, and treat them equally, the other dandies will definitely not dare to make trouble. No matter how powerful your father is, can he be more powerful than His Majesty today

Kong Yingda immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise." After he finished speaking, he remembered that there were three more girls on the list, Wei Shu, Princess Chengyang and the former martial artist Wu Mei. Kong Yingda asked what His Majesty Li Er meant, "Should Princess Chengyang be treated equally?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "I remember that the princes and daughters of Silla are also studying in the Imperial College. If they can really pass the exam, you can arrange them with the princes and daughters of Silla together."

The queen of Silla is now in power, and the leader of those sent to study in the Tang Dynasty is the queen's cousin Jin Shengman. When Jin Shengman tried to get into the Imperial College, it naturally caused some controversy. In the end, she was able to enroll because of her arguments. Now she has been studying in the Imperial College for more than a year. Jin Shengman is smart and eager to learn. When he came here, he was speechless. Now he can basically read Tang characters. Even Kong Yingda has to admit that this foreign princess is very smart.

The princess of Silla can attend, but there is no reason why the princess of Tang Dynasty can't.

As for Wei Shu and Wu Mei, they should be read as companions.

Kong Yingda wanted to rule the Guozijian group of sons from aristocratic families who were about to occupy the land and become kings, so he didn't argue with His Majesty Li Er, and directly accepted His Majesty Li Er's proposal. Anyway, whether they can pass the exam is still a problem, and it's okay to discuss this matter after they pass the exam!

The monarch and his ministers agreed that after Kong Yingda went back, he changed the arrangement of the topic. Since Li Yuanying and Li Zhikeng were going to enter the Imperial College as "benchmarks for rectification", the questions naturally couldn't be too difficult or too difficult, it was enough to hit them with a few difficult problems, and they had to pass the exam in the end.

Since then, every time Kong Yingda saw Li Yuanying coming to ask questions, he was very patient, and he almost didn't treat him as his own nephew.

Li Yuanying always felt it was weird, and murmured to Li Zhi, "I think Old Kong is trying to fuck me."

Li Zhi didn't feel anything wrong: "Kong Jijiu has always been like this, and Kong Jijiu was very kind to us before!"

Li Yuanying said: "That's for you."

Li Zhi told the truth: "If you weren't always angry with them, Kong Jijiu wouldn't always scold you."

After thinking about it, Li Yuanying felt that what Li Zhi said was also reasonable. Maybe Kong Yingda saw that he was so eager to learn recently, so his attitude changed so much, so there was no need to make a fuss. He quickly put the initial strangeness behind him, took Wei Shu and the others to read and play for half a day every day, and occasionally went to stimulate Wei Ying, saying, "We have finished reading such and such a book, where did you see it?" It made Wei Ying turn on the light to read every night, for fear that he would really be compared to Li Yuanying, a playboy who he once looked down upon and felt ignorant and ignorant!

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-May, and Tai Shiling observed that there was a star in the night that was too weak. In layman's terms, it was the appearance of broom stars, which was unlucky. Taishi Ling thought about it, and the decree said that it was against the destiny to enshrine Mount Tai last month. I hope that His Majesty Li Er will not go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen next year.

Li Yuanying didn't even go to court, so of course he didn't know that His Majesty Li Er was going to visit Mount Tai tomorrow. Hearing that there was a broom star last night, he regretted that he slept so hard that night that he didn't see the fabled broom star. He announced that he would not study today, and everyone went to find Li Chunfeng to learn about the comet, and mainly wanted to hear from Li Chunfeng what the legendary broom star looked like.

Li Chunfeng is specialized in researching this, and it is of course easy for a group of little radish-headed comets to popularize science. He told Li Yuanying and them all the records of comets from ancient times to the present, and even drew them pictures of comets that are visible to the naked eye.

Li Yuanying listened with great interest.

Then he learned from Li Chunfeng that many theories love to mention the "disaster theory". In the theory of disaster, the "disasters" include insects, epidemics, floods, droughts, etc., and the "abnormalities" include solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and meteorites. , comets, etc. According to Confucianism, the occurrence of such celestial phenomena or disasters is a very serious "scourge", so the imperial court had to take some countermeasures to avoid the panic of the people.

Generally speaking, the so-called countermeasures are for the emperor to reflect on himself or for Zaifu to resign. This time it's okay, there is a ready-made thing that can be paid off: I won't go to Mount Tai to engage in Fengchan next year.

Li Yuanying felt unhappy when he heard this. He had read these things from history books before, but he didn't pay much attention to them, and just passed the reading. He remembered that it was written in the history books that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would go to Mount Tai for a walk almost every five years after he established Feng Chan. He went there a total of six or seven times, how comfortable he was!

Now his brother has been on the throne for fifteen years, and he has never been to Mount Tai! The most important thing is that he hasn't been to Mount Tai since he was born.

Li Yuanying was very disappointed: "Then it's true that we won't be able to reach Mount Tai next year?"

Li Chunfeng said: "The Taishi Order has been written, and other courtiers should also dissuade it."

Li Chunfeng analyzed the reasons for this to Li Yuanying: For more than 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although the people have been lightly taxed and poorly taxed to let the people recuperate, the treasury still has not been filled, and it is far from the richness of the Sui Dynasty. Nowadays, most of the world's wealth is still gathered in the hands of aristocratic families from all over the world, and the imperial court is struggling to do anything. Under such circumstances, Wei Zheng and the others are not willing to work hard to mobilize people to create Feng Chan.

In short, the court has no money, and the court is short of money, so everyone does not support Majesty Li Er to go to Mount Tai.

Li Yuanying was stunned when he heard this: "It turns out that brother Huang is so poor."

Li Zhidao: "It's not that the father is poor, it's that the court has too many things to do."

Li Yuanying doesn't care what the court wants to do, Li Yuanying only cares about whether he can go to Mount Tai. He said: "When I sell the tea, I will lend the money to Brother Huang, and let Brother Huang take me to Mount Tai to play!"

Li Zhi reminded him: "Your fief is not far from Mount Tai, so you can play as many times as you like."

Li Yuanying recalled that Mount Tai was to the east, and his fief Tengzhou was also to the east, so it was indeed not far away! Li Yuanying said without psychological pressure, "Then I won't borrow it!" His brother is so old and cunning, what if he borrowed the money and never got it back

Li Zhi was speechless for a while.

In the evening of that day, Sizi sold Li Yuanying and Li Zhi off guard. She first told His Majesty Li Er about the astronomical knowledge she had learned from Li Chunfeng, and then told His Majesty Li Er about the conversation between Li Yuanying and Li Yuanying: "Uncle Yao originally said that he would lend you money to play on Mount Tai, but the emperor brother Said that Tengzhou is very close to Mount Tai, so Uncle Yao said no to borrow it!"

Ever since he learned about Comet, His Majesty Li Er has been in a bad mood, and anyone who mentions him has a bad face. But Sizi is different, Sizi is his favorite daughter, he didn't feel angry when he heard it, he just looked at Li Yuanying who was feasting on the side, raised his eyebrows and said: "It's not what a man should do if he wants to borrow money and then backtrack. "

Li Yuanying put down his chopsticks, and retorted with reason: "I only have this little money now, and it is a drop in the bucket for you, Brother Emperor, so I don't want to borrow it for now!" He assured His Majesty Li Er very responsibly, "Brother, don't worry, when I go to the fiefdom, I will build you a road from Chang'an to Mount Tai, build you a comfortable residence along the way, and let you go to Mount Tai without spending a penny from the treasury." .Don’t talk about going once, you can go every year if you want!”

His Majesty Li Er said: "Okay, I will remember what you said. If you can't do it then, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor and throw you to Yazhou."

Li Yuanying turned around and asked Li Zhi, "Where is Yazhou?"

Li Zhi thought for a while and replied: "On the southernmost island, facing Lingnan Road to the north across the sea, and Jiaozhou to the west across the sea, there are seas everywhere, and it is far away from Chang'an."

Li Yuanying nodded straight after hearing this, and said to His Majesty Li Er enthusiastically: "Sounds very interesting, just throw me away! Don't worry, when I live there, I will build some big boats and go back to the north around the coast. I will come back to see you every ten or eight years."

His Majesty Li Er scolded: "Don't you want to accompany someone to take the Imperial Academy exam? Go and read when you are full."

Li Yuanying took Li Zhi and the others away, and even murmured to Li Zhi when they left the door: "It's not that I said to go, but he himself said that he would let me go, and he got angry. He is really moody. No wonder people say 'A companion is like a tiger'!"

Li Zhi: "..."

The author has something to say:

Li Zhi: Don't you have any points in your heart

Little Prince: No!
