Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

Seeing that Zhang Liang came in alone, Li Longji was taken aback for a moment, then shook the wine glass in his hand and asked with a smile, "Mingzhi, where is the beauty?".

"Your Highness, this matter is a bit inconvenient. This subordinate just found out about it before." Zhang Liang walked slowly to Li Longji's side. Tell me everything you saw in Jingting, "Your Highness, look...".

"Oh, there is such a thing." After listening carefully to what Zhang Liang said, Li Longji clasped the wine glass in his hand and pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "Mingzhi, you once reported to the king that Tang Cheng Self-discipline is strict, living alone as a guest, but sleeping in flowers and willows, how is it today? Is there anyone who is not romantic in youth, but his vision is too high."

Zhang Liang's time with Li Longji is not too short. I know that this master is romantic, and he is the most ill of widows. He was the one who ordered him to call Qizhi to serve wine just now, but now he is laughing again. So... for a while, Zhang Liang couldn't figure out what he was thinking, "What does Your Highness mean?".

"Mingzhi, let me ask you, did you tell Tang Cheng that I ordered Qizhi to serve wine?".

"never".

"That's good." Li Longji nodded and smiled appreciatively when he heard the words.

When he stood up while laughing, Li Longji, who was drunk, was already staggering on his feet. When he picked up another full wine glass, the wine in the glass rippled and splashed out onto his hands and clothes. Li Longji didn't care about it. After handing the cup of wine to Zhang Liang, he drank the full cup of wine in his hand while raising the cup to invite him to drink. It's just hidden in the inner room, playing with a woman's ear between the beds; Tang Cheng is also a genius, like this kind of sage, whoever has aspirations for the times and the world is not the most important thing? Women and sages are more important. Like Cao Amana and other treacherous ministers against the country who know that "the Duke of Zhou vomits his breasts, the world will return to his heart", how can this king be ashamed?".

At this point, Li Longji, who was overwhelmed with alcohol, put the empty cup in his hand heavily on the table, and in the sound of "Peng", he said loudly: "I will not lose a talent for a woman! Mingzhi, This matter has been exposed, and from now on, Brother Er shall not mention a word in person."

Hearing this, the excited Zhang Liang put down his wine glass, bowed his hands and saluted deeply while stepping back, and said in a loud voice: "Looking down on women and valuing talents, Your Highness is so wise, and your ambitions will surely come true."

……

When Zhang Liang and Li Longji were talking about Qizhi, the Erwei brothers in the other Accord quietly exchanged a look.

Tall and tall, with a handsome appearance, although this Tang Cheng is surprisingly young, the condensed and steady expression in his eyes is not as good as that of a man of his age, even if he clearly knows the person sitting in front of him When both of them were high-ranking people, Er Wei couldn't see any unnaturalness from Tang Cheng's expression.

He wasn't flattered, nor was he eager to make money. In short, Tang Cheng didn't have any of the performances that made them despise what he saw in the past scholars.He just sat across from each other, facing Brother Erwei's gaze calmly and comfortably.

Traveling thousands of miles to the capital city, Tang Cheng was naturally not considered wealthy and successful in Erwei's eyes, but at the same time, after meeting for real, they realized that the Tang Cheng in front of them was by no means in the down-and-out state as expected.

Such a young man with good looks and good manners is very easy to attract people's favor, not to mention that Wei Rui has already had a preconceived appreciation for his talent, "The opening ceremony of Yazheng Garden can be so lively tonight, Zhuque Street The curtain at the mouth that attracts thousands of people is really a great contribution, and from what Zhang Mingzhi said, this matter came from your idea?".

"Yes", Tang Cheng nodded his head in response, "The two adults will laugh at what Meng Lang did later on."

"What a move by Meng Lang," Wei Bo took over what the seventh brother had said, and asked with great interest, "How did you come up with such an idea?".

After hearing the question, Tang Chenglue pondered for a while and then smiled and replied: "When I heard that Mr. Mingzhi was going to open this Yazheng Garden, I thought I could use it because of my later studies, but I couldn't find anything useful. I was too anxious to think about it. After clarifying all the operations of the entire garden, I finally came up with a problem."

"Oh, what's the problem?".

"The courtyards and pavilions are completed, and all the necessary personnel are available. At this moment, what is the most important thing when Yazheng Garden, or even any economic business opens?" Facing the two brothers who are full of interest, Tang Cheng asked himself He replied: "In the future, the most important thing to learn from foolishness is how to spread it widely. The more people who know, the more people will come." At this point, Tang Cheng smiled slightly and said: "Even good wine is good. I'm afraid the alley is deep."

The reason Tang Cheng said was extremely simple, and Er Wei naturally understood it, but after hearing Tang Cheng's last sentence, Wei Bo couldn't help laughing in astonishment: "Good wine is afraid of deep alleys? Fresh".

"One is good wine, and the other is Chinese wine. Good wine is hidden deep in the alleys, and Chinese wine is sold in the busy market. Between ten and a month, the amount of Chinese wine sold will far exceed that of good wine, and its reputation It will also be far superior to good wine, why? It’s not that the quality of wine is great, it’s just that the location is not as good, and there are not many people who know it.” After explaining these few sentences, Tang Cheng smiled slightly: “Actually, the world’s affairs are far more than just selling wine. Is this the case with Yazheng Garden? Since ancient times, why have people been so fond of Bole? After studying it, it is only because Bole can find "good wine" in the deep alley, and use its own reputation to make it known to the world."

"Your statement is weird, but this general really can't say that you are wrong." A few short conversations, not to mention anything else, at least Tang Cheng's abnormal way of thinking and self-contained words are really impressive. Interested, Wei Bo laughed and nodded, "Go on."

"It is said that if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. In the same way, if you want to do a good job, the most important thing to do a good job is to first identify the key to doing it well. Later learn Now that we have found the most critical thing for the opening of Yazheng Garden, what we need to do is to find ways to attract as many people's attention as possible."

"Is there a veil here?".

"Yes", Tang Cheng also laughed at Wei Rui who asked with a smile, "Actually, the curtain is not important. Gather them together, then compose the opening of the Yazheng Garden into a libretto and spread it widely, and for example, draw the news of the opening of the Yazheng Garden on the carriages of various carriages, all these can achieve the goal."

After saying this, Tang Cheng stopped talking, with a smile on his face, he said seriously: "After discerning the key to action, what you focus on is the result. As long as the goal can be achieved, the means can be changed freely. Both of you My lord, is what the unknown disciple said correct?".

Wei Rui, who also suppressed his smile, looked at Tang Cheng carefully from head to toe again. Compared with the first time, he looked at Tang Cheng more carefully this time, and the appreciation in his eyes was also a little bit more .

"Well said." Seeing the expression of the seventh brother, Wei Bo turned his head and said suddenly: "Tang Cheng, my brother just took over a new job, and there is a shortage of people under his command, why don't you come here?".

……

The two Wei brothers left Yazheng Garden, the driver shook the reins, and the ornately decorated carriage drove out of the garden smoothly and went straight to Suzaku Street.

"Fifth Brother, what do you think of Tang Cheng?"

"He is a usable person." Thinking of the unheard-of words Tang Cheng said, Wei Bo laughed again, "At least this kid is right for my taste."

"Yeah, now I finally don't worry that the matter of the veil was hit by his luck. Combine this matter and think carefully about what he said just now. This is a person who can do things and can do things. He really can't be compared with those who spend all day. The boring scholars who can only talk about it are the same. On this point, I pride myself on not misjudging the person.” At this point, Wei Rui smiled conceitedly, “What’s more rare is that no matter his appearance or manner They are all top choices."

Having said that, Wei Rui turned his head and said, "Fifth Brother, I remember you were in the Shannan Dongdao Observation Envoy's yamen, there must be someone in the yamen, pass the letter to the past, so that you can explain clearly to that person, everything is fine. Not a single drop can be missed.”

"This matter is easy to handle, but what did Zhang Mingzhi say?" Wei Bo shook his head indifferently, "This Tang Cheng seems to be quite flexible, why did he commit a crime of death in this matter? Zhang Mingzhi just A merchant, how much kindness can he have for him? Do you have to let him nod? If I say that we shouldn't rush to leave just now, we just asked Zhang Mingzhi to talk about it, but we just need someone, he How dare Zhang Mingzhi not give it?"

"Fifth brother, you know that you must repay your kindness. For us, Tang Cheng's 'death' is a good thing! As for talking to Zhang Mingzhi, the good thing is not in a hurry, and we will talk about Tang Cheng's details later." At this point, Wei Rui patted Wei Bo's arm and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Brother, as long as he's okay, hey, we're going to settle on Tang Cheng."

Chapter 191 Tang Cheng, a true gentleman!

After watching Erwei's carriage go far away at the gate of Yazheng Garden, Tang Cheng smiled and turned back to the garden. After entering the gate, he walked not far away, and happened to meet Li Longji who was drunk and was sent out by Zhang Liang.

"There are a lot of guests, and the sound is like a wave. Just look at today's start, Yazheng Garden can be prosperous." With a strong smell of alcohol, Li Longji half-patted and half-supported Tang Cheng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Tang Cheng, these The sky has worked hard for you, and you should have a good rest from tomorrow, so you don’t get exhausted.”

"It's okay to work hard, as long as His Royal Highness is satisfied."

"Satisfied, of course satisfied, Tang Cheng, I was talking to Mingzhi just now, I don't know how your brain is so long, you always do things unexpectedly but you can do things satisfactorily. Mingzhi also said that the art of war has Yun: 'Using Zhenghe to win by Qi', anyone who can use Qi is a famous general, Tang Cheng, you have the potential of a famous general." When he said this, Li Longji, who was half supporting Tang Cheng's shoulder, walked out, haha And laugh.

After Li Longji laughed, he raised his hand and patted Tang Cheng's shoulder. He moved closer and said softly: "The so-called gifted and romantic, you don't have to suffer too much when you live alone in the capital. Qizhi is so beautiful and seductive. It just happens to be a good companion to relieve the loneliness in the middle of the night." At this point, Li Longji turned his head to Zhang Liang and said: "Mingzhi, I will leave this matter to you. If it is inconvenient these days, let Qizhi persist for a while. Time to send people out of Beijing to find a suitable replacement candidate, and after the person is selected, arrange for Qizhi to withdraw gradually, so that he can concentrate on serving Tang Cheng's food and daily life. Mingzhi, let you and me complete this romantic story of a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman ".

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will take care of this matter tomorrow morning." After Zhang Liang nodded in agreement, he deliberately smiled and cupped his hands to Tang Chengyi: "Congratulations, congratulations."

"Your Highness's kindness..." During the conversation, several people had already walked in front of Li Longji's carriage. Tang Cheng had just opened his mouth, but Li Longji waved his hand staggeringly when he thought he was a thin-faced and embarrassed Li Longji, "That's all, that's all, There is no need to say much about this matter, this king has made the decision."

After finishing speaking, Li Longji, who was drunk, stroked his forehead and got into the carriage. Seeing his drunken appearance, Tang Cheng couldn't say anything more.

After Li Longji got into the car and sat down, he watched Yu Shou was about to ride his horse forward, and when he remembered something, he stretched out his hand and opened the curtain of the car window and said in a dry voice: "There is something that I almost forgot , Tang Cheng, seeing that the new year is approaching and the tribute students who go to Beijing to take the exam can only live alone in the capital. Princess Zhenguo intends to invite the best tribute students from all over the country to set up an essay meeting. The time is set for the day after tomorrow. You are ready Jieshi went to the meeting with the king. With your style and talent, and with the strong recommendation of the king, the Ritual Examination after the Shangyuan Festival will be a matter of course."

After saying this, Li Longji, who burped heavily, waved his hand, and the carriage rattled away.

After sending Li Longji away, Zhang Liang turned his head and asked Tang Cheng, "How is it? What did Brother Erwei say?".

Ever since Tang Cheng went to Beijing to see He Zhizhang, he had been thinking about the imperial examination quota, but after hearing what Li Longji said just now, he lost the excitement he expected.

This thing came at such an inopportune time!Just got in touch with the Erwei brothers but got such news... Thinking of this, Tang Cheng didn't bother to answer, and asked first: "Mingzhi, do you know what attitude the Wei family has towards Princess Taiping?".

"Keep it at arm's length," Zhang Liang said after pondering for a while, "Well, that's it. Now neither side can offend anyone. The princess occasionally asks, but Empress Wei never refutes it once, and vice versa. Empress Wei has some disadvantages in her personal morality, but the princess has never criticized Empress Wei. During the New Year's festival, the two parties exchange gifts and reciprocate very warmly. .but in private...'.

After laughing hehe, Zhang Liang continued as he walked: "His Royal Highness is not the same as our lord. It is well known in the city that our lord does not care about political affairs and has a calm temper. Empress Wei can't be more at ease with the lord. And the princess In the early dynasty, she had aspirations for the position of the Empress Dowager, but later, although she saw that things were wrong, she stopped quickly, but she couldn't hide her thoughts from others. How could Empress Wei not know? But knowing it is not easy. Today, I can return to Beijing from Fangzhou The successor to the throne is the result of Zhang Jianzhi and other "five kings" in the past. In the palace change that killed Zhang Zongchang and others, the princess made great contributions. The title of "Zhen Guo" is exactly From this; not to mention this, the princess began to accumulate strength in the previous dynasty until now, no one knows how much potential power she has managed in all these years, no matter whether it is in the inner palace or in the court and in the local area. Empress Wei has other thoughts, at least before she succeeds, she has no other choice but to appease Princess Zhenguo. But the more she is like this, the more jealous she will be towards Princess Taiping."

In fact, Zhang Liang didn't need to say it so clearly, Tang Cheng already understood it completely.These two women are determined to be emperors, but there is only one emperor. It would be a strange thing if they could get along well!Now the superficial goodness is nothing more than the result of mutual jealousy, but in private... There is nothing to say in private, no, Princess Taiping has already started preparing for the palace change.

It's just that this has made Tang Cheng uncomfortable. Do you want the imperial examination quota that is so easy to get?Princess Taiping has maintained influence in the Ministry of Rites for many years. According to the current situation, Empress Wei will definitely not make another enemy to offend Princess Taiping before she officially ascends the throne, which means that she will not interfere in the imperial examination. , if you want to get the quota of Jinke, you must go through Princess Taiping.But on the other hand, the reason why Princess Taiping is so concerned about the imperial examinations of the Ministry of Rites is naturally to use this important channel to expand her own strength. This is similar to the relationship between teachers and students in later imperial examinations. Those who can get such a quota must be appreciated by Princess Taiping, and they will naturally become Princess Taiping's party in the eyes of others.

Princess Taiping has been operating in Chang'an for many years, but it took only three or two years for Empress Wei to return to Beijing from Fangzhou. It can only be allowed to control the imperial court's talent selection organization, and Princess Taiping has also steadily expanded her strength through this method.

It's hard, it's hard!If you want the quota, you will lose the trust of the Erwei brothers, and naturally you will not be able to do the things you envisioned later; but if you don't want the quota, what you will directly lose is his own core interests. Anyone who encounters such a dilemma Get a head as big as a bucket.

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he didn't see Tang Cheng's response for a long time, and asked in surprise: "Tang Cheng, what are you thinking?".

"I'm wondering whether I want the fish or the bear's paw." Tang Cheng smiled wryly and shook his head, without telling Zhang Liang about his difficulties.

Zhang Liang clearly knew that Tang Cheng deliberately approached Er Wei for other purposes. As for the purpose of his plot, it was naturally for the Third Highness. Obvious, but hard to say directly.

In the silence, Zhang Liang also sighed.

The four words of taking care of the overall situation are easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to make a decision when faced with such a choice. Zhang Liang was silent, and Tang Cheng was also speechless. The two walked silently for a long time, seeing that they had arrived When it was set up in a dormitory in a side courtyard, Tang Cheng stopped suddenly.

As Tang Cheng stopped suddenly, Zhang Liang's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Tang Cheng had made a decision, but he was really afraid of hearing the result of his decision.Both brothers are Li Longji's confidantes. Now that he knows about this matter, no matter what choice Tang Cheng makes, Zhang Liang will report it to His Highness the Third Highness; but after getting along with Tang Cheng for so many days, as an introduction At the same time, with the tacit cooperation between the two, he and Tang Cheng also had a deep friendship. If Tang Cheng made a choice that he didn't want to hear... Didn't he say it?

Not saying it would be disloyalty to His Highness the Third Highness, but if he said it, he would be disloyal to Tang Cheng. Loyalty is public, righteousness is selfish. When it is difficult to balance public and private, what decision and choice should he make?

Zhang Liang, who was jumping in his heart, also stopped suddenly, and his eyes fell on Tang Cheng tightly.

"The moon has its ups and downs, and it's hard to have both." Tang Cheng, who stood still, raised his head and looked at the first quarter moon exuding the brilliance, and let out a long breath while straightening his waist and chest: "That's all, It will be next year if you fail this subject, the matter of the Third Highness is important."

Hearing Tang Cheng's words with a touch of regret, Zhang Liang also let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, now he finally doesn't have to choose between loyalty and righteousness.

Now that the matter has been decided, Tang Cheng felt much more relieved, "It's getting late, and you'll be tired tomorrow, so go to bed early." After he finished speaking, he turned around and turned to Go to your own room.

Looking at his back, Zhang Liang didn't know what to say for a while. Tang Cheng was talented, capable, and also had a way. With the help of Zheng Lingyi, the envoy of Hangzhou City, he could have easily obtained Shangguan Wan'er's letter. Heavy, but he didn't!

In today's complex and ever-changing situation, he chose the third highness who was the weakest without hesitation. Since that moment, he has tried his best to run for the affairs of the third highness, not calling it difficult, not tiring, even at the expense of To give up the most important opportunity for a scholar to be named on the gold list...

While his mind was turning, Zhang Liang suddenly remembered the scene when Tang Cheng recited Luo Binwang's "Discussion of the Wu Family" in front of him that day.

"Take a look at today's city, whose family actually dominates the world?", "A piece of loess is not dry, what is a six-foot solitary?" When he recited these well-known lines in the call to action that day, Tang Cheng was far away from him. He took a few steps, but the bursting out of loyalty and righteousness came to his face.

How similar the current court situation is to the previous court!

This kind of performance, the sacrifice tonight, looking at Tang Cheng's back that is drifting away, Zhang Liang thought of the many scholars who went to Xu Jingye like King Luo Bin in the previous dynasty, why didn't they know Xu Jingye's The strength is far inferior to that of Empress Wu, who was proclaimed emperor by the puppet dynasty?And why didn't they know that the result of this trip might be that their heads were separated, and their families would be implicated?However, they still went, not afraid of life and death, and went without hesitation.

Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to obtain righteousness, a gentleman should not do something, and he must do something.

Tang Cheng, a real gentleman!

There were so many thoughts in his mind that Zhang Liang didn't know what to say to comfort Tang Cheng's regret. Seeing that Tang Cheng in the distance had already pushed open the door, he hurriedly shouted: "Tang Cheng, the day after tomorrow Are you still going to the Wenhui at the Princess Mansion?"

"Go, why don't you go?" Tang Cheng leaned his hand against the door and came over with a slight smile and replied: "The more frustrated I am in the princess mansion, the happier Erwei will be?".

Yazheng Garden was an instant hit, and when it officially opened the next day, there were a lot of cars and horses, and the crowds were bustling. Qizhi, who was the leading lady in the garden, was really busy singing or dancing, or meeting and chatting with guests. Even during the daytime, she She also has to be busy rehearsing new songs and dances, at least she doesn't have any free time right now, so she seldom even has the time to talk to Tang Cheng, let alone talk to Tang Cheng about life .

When I got busy, the days went by quickly, and it was Wenhui's day in a blink of an eye.After waking up in the morning, Tang Chengcheng thought about going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to wait for Li Longji to accompany him. Unexpectedly, before he went out, Li Longji had sent his entourage over in advance to say that His Royal Highness had orders, and Mr. Tang was asked to wait here so that he didn't have to work hard to go. palace.

Mr. Tang!Hearing the title of follower, Tang Cheng nodded and smiled playfully.

About half an hour later, the felt car made by Prince Li Longji arrived. Yazheng Garden and Princess Taiping's Mansion were not on the same road. Obviously, he deliberately made a detour.

When Tang Cheng got into the car, Qizhi also got into her special gorgeous scallion oil car and followed behind. As the most famous kabuki in Chang'an City, she was invited by the Princess Mansion to go to today's literary meeting as early as yesterday. Performance.

After getting into Li Longji's huge felt car, Tang Cheng clearly felt that the way he looked at him was different from before.

"Tang Cheng", after Li Longji, who was about to say something, called out his name, he paused slightly and then smiled and said: "Tang Cheng, it's not appropriate to always call you by your name like this, and it's too casual. There must be a 'word'."

"Mingzhi has told me about this a few times, but although the 'name' can be picked up by oneself, the 'word' is not so convenient." When Tang Cheng said this, he looked at Li Longji and said with a smile: "Take the word It is better to be long and expensive, Your Highness is in the prime of youth, although you can't say it is long, but your status is noble. Left and right are just a title, so how about asking Your Highness to choose one?".

When Li Longji said those words just now, he actually had such thoughts in his mind. He would be a fool to let go of such a good opportunity to win people's hearts.It was rare for Tang Cheng to be funny again, which made him laugh, "So, I will choose one for you."

After finishing speaking, Li Longji seriously took down the satin book "Er Ya" from the small bookshelf in the car and flipped through it. Then he pondered solemnly for a long time before he said: "When it is full, it will overflow. If you are strong, you will break, and if you are big, you will lose, Tang Cheng, your name is too full, and you should use "words" to make up for it. Deficiency and deficiency are synonymous. According to my king, how about taking it as perfect?".

"Wu Que?" Hearing this, Tang Cheng was startled. Damn, could it be that there is a divine will in the dark?It's too damn coincidental to get this word.Isn't his name Tang Que before he crossed over to Tang?

"Why, not good?".

"Okay, okay, nothing could be better," Tang Cheng, who had woken up, nodded again and again: "Just use this, that's it."

Since the two met, Tang Chengcheng has always been calm, confident and calm. Has Li Longji ever seen him lose his composure?Seeing Tang Cheng this time clearly looked very satisfied, and Li Longji, who was very contented, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Tang Cheng ignored Li Longji's smile, and murmured in his mouth: "Tang Wuque, Tang Wuque, Tang Que", well, although there is still a word difference, the feeling that I have been used to since childhood is still the same. Came back a lot.

Seeing Tang Cheng, who has always been calm, showing the appearance of such a naughty child, Li Longji smiled more and more complacently.

The laughing time was not short, and after Li Longji finally had his fill of laughter, he suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously: "Wu Que will live up to this king today, if this king can get the blessing of his ancestors, and when things come true in the future, This king will definitely live up to you."

"Your Highness is serious." After Tang Cheng said this, he smiled slightly for a while and said, "When that day really comes, if Your Highness talks about this again, I will have to write a book."

Li Longji was taken aback when he heard this, "Oh, why?".

"On the shore of the land, could it be the king's minister? If that day comes, what I do now will be my duty. How can I say that I am not responsible? The emperor has no selfishness, how can he use the god-given artifact to remember the personal relationship? ? At the time of Jieshi, even a grassroots person could not help admonishing him when he heard this statement."

After hearing this, Li Longji looked at Tang Cheng speechless for a long time, and finally reached out and patted him on the shoulder heavily.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the felt car was really weird. The atmosphere between the two men was so hesitant and full of ambiguity that Tang Cheng was not used to it, so he hurriedly changed the subject, "What is your Highness doing these days?" To the princess mansion?"

"Of course you can't go there in a felt cart like this. Mostly you go in casual clothes. To tell you the truth, this king even enters the princess mansion through the side door used by the servants." Li Longji laughed at himself, "This king It’s really unbelievable now.”

Li Longji's few short sentences contained mixed feelings, including helplessness, humiliation, resentment, unwillingness and so on.Because of his identity, Tang Cheng can naturally understand, "Your Highness, don't mind, Meng Sheng once said: 'I cultivate my awe-inspiring spirit, which can be tolerated or humiliated, and even more can be released. Once I send it out, the world will be amazed by it'. Your Highness is now It's the Qianlong in the deep, what is the value of a moment's patience compared with the future flying dragon in the sky?"

"Wu Que, you are really good at talking." Hearing this, Li Longji smiled, "I won't introduce you in front of everyone at the literary meeting today, but it would be a pity if I don't see the princess for such an opportunity. Let's keep the matter of meeting and meeting in private."

Speaking of this, Li Longji, who turned his head and looked at Tang Cheng carefully, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his face became a little weird...even ambiguous.

Ever since the newly married Xue Shao died in prison, his aunt has become extremely indulgent in matters of men and women, and his favorite is a handsome boy. Brother Lianhua Liulang Zhang Zongchang back then is a typical example. And as I got older and reached the age of wolf and tiger, this habit became more and more powerful.Tang Cheng's talent, appearance and demeanor are all the best choices, and his age is also very suitable. If we meet in person, in case...

When thinking of this silently, Li Longji shook his head, hoping it would not be like this.

It didn't take long for the felt cart to drive into Princess Taiping's Mansion of Zhenguo, where the middle door was wide open.

Chapter 192 Slapping People in the Face

The princess's mansion rises from sky to sky, overwhelming half of the city to meet Yunyu.

Princess Taiping of Zhenguo was prominent in the two dynasties, and her mansions have been carefully managed for decades, and they have already been row upon row, occupying most of the square, and the gorgeous and luxurious places are almost the same as the inner palace.

Tang Cheng and Li Longji entered the Princess Mansion together. On the way, he lifted the curtains of the car beside him and saw the scene of the houses stretching to the sky and the eaves colliding with each other. Even if he traveled from later generations, he couldn't help but look at it in a daze. Compared with this mansion in front of him, even An Guoxiang's mansion is nothing, let alone those so-called mansions and villas in later generations.

Looking through the car window, apart from the many houses in the Princess Mansion at this moment, there are also many young scholars. Outside the car window, the scholars in Qingjin Confucian uniforms are walking alone, or in groups of three or four from the gatehouse. Walking in the inner courtyard, these scholars were amazed at the magnificent mansion in front of them, and at the same time cast their eyes on the felt carts passing by with great interest.

As scholars, they naturally know that only the third rank and above are eligible to ride a felt car. Thinking about the ritual system of the Princess Mansion, those who are not kings or above are not allowed to drive straight into the second gate. Then the person driving the felt car in front of them is that Princes and relatives?

These scholars who rushed to the capital to take the exam came from all over the world. It was a great honor to meet a scholar in the local area before. If they were interviewed by the governor again, it would be like smoke from the ancestral grave. It is worth writing a few articles to pay attention Commemorate and pass on to future generations.Now living in the imperial capital, being invited by the princess as a guest, the carriages of the princes and relatives are passing by. Being in such a dreamlike and prosperous place, I suddenly feel that I have a lot of glory, Seeing Tang Cheng's felt car passing by, these people almost subconsciously straightened their waists and raised their heads.

"Your Highness, take a look outside." He raised the curtains of the car in his hand. Tang Cheng turned his head and smiled at Li Longji: "There are at least 200 people who came to participate in the literary meeting today. One out of ten is chosen. The princess will use this literary meeting to present the current subject." The best of the scholars were caught in one go."

Li Longji looked out of the window at the scholars who were rushing to the princess's gate together, and looked at the excitement that these scholars could not conceal under the pretense of restraint, and said in a low voice: "It's not been a year or two since the princess has acted like this, now Among the various temple supervisors in the imperial city, the princess’s letter of worship may even be more useful than the emperor’s edict, this situation is not without reason, and it has its own reasons.”

Tang Cheng nodded after hearing the words and said with a slight smile: "In the past, when Emperor Taizong came to the court, he went to the Suzaku Gate of the imperial city to watch the exam on the day of a certain scientific examination. He laughed loudly and said: "All the talents in the world are in my pocket today", the princess's move really shows the legacy of Emperor Taizong."
