The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

It was raining lightly in Zhejiang, Zhejiang, and the sky was cloudy. The rain in the capital had not stopped for half a month.

There are fewer small stalls on the street than usual, pedestrians on the road are wearing coir raincoats, and cars and horses pass by in a hurry.The little beggar on the side of the road huddled under the eaves of the small shop to hide from the rain, with a few broken bowls in front of him. When he met a kind-hearted shopkeeper, he felt that the little beggar was pitiful, and would give him a bite of food; Good shopkeepers will also let people drive beggars away.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are those rich and noble young masters who call for friends and eat meat for every meal; there are also poor people with bad luck who work hard for a bite of food. These people are just the people living at the bottom of the city. them.

"drive__"

A few men in coir raincoats rode across the street, trampled the water on the ground, and rode away.

Today the emperor summoned him to enter the palace. As soon as he came out of the emperor's place, he met the eldest prince with two entourages.Seeing that there was no time to dodge, Li Wen had no choice but to stand aside, and saluted the eldest prince who walked in front of him, "I have seen the eldest prince, Your Highness."

Three months have passed, and the eldest prince who was punished to contemplate three months behind closed doors can go out of the mansion.

Yang Shaoyong looked at Li Wen condescendingly, it was this person who caused his father to punish him, and made him lose face as the eldest prince.He spent these three months behind closed doors at the mansion, not to see outsiders, and the prince and the third child took the opportunity to beat up his subordinates. Just lost more than half.

And all of this was because of the person in front of him, and it was all because of Li Wen!

This person just stared at him without speaking, Li Wen couldn't stand up and leave, so he could only stand here with his head down, it was better than seeing whose patience was better.He was not afraid that the eldest prince would dare to do anything to him, this place was in the palace, the eldest prince really couldn't kill him under the eyes of the emperor.

If he was the eldest prince, he would never be so stupid as to come to trouble him at this time.

The matter in Xiangzhou has been overturned, and the officials who should be beheaded have already been beheaded. The emperor cared about his family relationship, and was reluctant to kill his own son with his own hands.If he was the eldest prince, if he saw him at this time, he should walk over without paying attention, instead of staring at him like this, wishing he could eat him.

It's a pity that the eldest prince is not him, and he is not the eldest prince, and the emperor's son doesn't seem to be very smart.

Little Eunuch Su followed behind Master Li, and was stared at by His Highness the First Prince, his body trembled slightly, and he felt a little scared in his heart.

The two were engaged in a silent contest, when a voice came in.

"Brother Emperor, Li Liuyuan." His Highness the Crown Prince came here with his companions and Yiguan palace servants.

Yang Shaomu had his usual slight smile on his face, and asked with a smile, "Brother Dahuang, what are you and Li Liuyuan talking about? I saw you two standing here from afar, so I happened to say something to Gu." listen."

Yang Shaoyong withdrew his gaze from Li Wen, turned his head to look at His Highness the Crown Prince, and called out, "Prince."

Although he has the upper hand, because the crown prince is born of the empress, he, the eldest prince, is still a bit shorter in front of the crown prince.Despite his unwillingness, Yang Shaoyong still had to bow his hands and salute when he saw the prince. The brothers greeted each other with respect and respect.Yang Shaoyong forced a little smile on his face, but the smile was not very good-looking, "I happened to meet Li Liuyuan here, and I just wanted to invite Li Liuyuan to have a cup of tea, but Li Liuyuan doesn't even seem to give me this big prince. "

The meaning of these words is that Li Liuyuan might look down on him as the eldest prince.

"I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Wen bowed to His Highness the Crown Prince, and laughed in his heart. He really didn't like Yang Shaoyong. If he hadn't been lucky enough to cast a good baby, this man was nothing more than a piece of mud. How can I stand here and talk about the eldest prince, I really think that the eldest prince is something!

This His Royal Highness really knows how to open his eyes and talk nonsense. The two of them didn't speak a word just now, so there is no such thing as inviting him to drink tea.But before that, His Royal Highness sent someone to invite him twice, but he refused without exception.

Zhao Xiangyi looked through the crown prince and the first prince, and looked at the young man standing on the other side.It happened that Li Wen raised his head and met Zhao Xiangyi's eyes. He told the man opposite with his eyes that he was fine here.

Yang Shaomu asked, "Li Liuyuan just came out from Father Emperor's place?"

Li Wen responded, "Go back to His Highness the Crown Prince, yes, I just came out from the Emperor."

Although he didn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince appeared here, Li Wen was sure that His Highness the Crown Prince had come to help him out.Li Wen showed embarrassment and said, "Unfortunately today, the emperor just ordered something to be done by the lower officials, and there is really no free time today, so please forgive me, His Royal Highness."

The road he took was the one he had to take when he came out of the imperial study, so no one would doubt him if he said that

He what.

"Brother Dahuang, you see that Li Liuyuan has something important to do, and it's not because he doesn't want to give you face. When is it not allowed to drink tea? If it misses Li Liuyuan's work for the father, the father will pursue it later. I'm afraid it's bad, right?

"Yang Shaomu had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes when he looked at the eldest prince. Naturally, his senior brother wanted to protect the younger one.

"This tea, if you drink it another day, isn't it the same?"

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, if he had to find Li Liuyuan for tea, thus delaying Li Liuyuan's business, the emperor would pursue it, and he, the eldest prince, would be hard to tell.An obscure light flashed in Yang Shaoyong's eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared, and he said, "It seems that today's tea can only be bought by Li Liuyuan another day."

"I still have something to do, so I'll take a step first."

Without waiting for the prince to respond, Yang Shaoyong took his people away.

Seeing the eldest prince gone, Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned his head and saw His Royal Highness looking at him with a smile, he cupped his hands to His Highness, "Thank you Your Highness."

"Gu happened to pass by, but it's just a trivial matter." The smile on the corner of Yang Shaomu's mouth remained unchanged, he naturally knew why the eldest prince would find fault with Li.Out of good intentions, Yang Shaomu reminded, "Li Liuyuan should pay more attention when walking in this palace in the future."

The palace looks calm on the surface, but it is actually turbulent and turbulent. If you are not careful, you can easily fall into other people's ways.

"Yes, I understand, Your Highness, thank you for reminding me." Li Wen replied.

The prince still has to go to the emperor and send his companion to take him out of the palace.

The rain wet the palace walls, and the entire palace was shrouded in rain.

The two were under the same umbrella, and Zhao Xiangyi held the umbrella for his boy, and put most of the umbrella on the boy's side. The drizzle wet his clothes, but he didn't care.Noticing that the man was only focusing on protecting him from the rain, and his own clothes were wet, Li Wen asked the man to move the umbrella over, but the man didn't, and only cared about him

It wasn't until the two of them left the palace gate that Zhao Xiangyi asked, "The eldest prince didn't do anything to you just now, did he?"

"Don't worry, he can't do anything to me." Li Wen pretended to be relaxed, not wanting the man to worry about him.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that he had made a big enemy for himself when he first entered the court.In the future, when he walks in the palace, he will inevitably meet the eldest prince. Today, His Royal Highness and Zhao Xiangyi are here to help him. In the future, when there is no one around but him, he will have to figure out some things by himself. response.

It is easy to block open spears, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. He is not worried about the swords and guns on the surface, but he is afraid that the arrows in the dark will be hard to guard against.But what is there to be afraid of?At worst, when the soldiers came to block him, and the water came to cover him, Yang Shaoyong didn't dare to kill him in front of the emperor. Besides, he didn't have the ability to protect himself at all. It's a fool's way, not including him.

At this time, he wants the emperor to see his value, no matter what the situation is, he will not abandon him, this is what he has to do now.From the day he entered the court, Li Wen knew that he had no way out, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, he had to move forward and clear all the obstacles on the way.There are no permanent friends in this world, let alone permanent enemies, only mutual interests are long-term.

Of course, among all the people, Li Wen absolutely believed in the man beside him. Maybe it was because Zhao Xiangyi gave him a hand that night in Yizhuang, or maybe it was because of the fact that this man was in the relationship in the future. The protection of him along the way allowed him to feel the man's true love and sincerity for him.

"Oh, there is one more thing, I forgot to tell you. The person who sent your father back has returned to the capital, and your father has returned home safely. This is a letter from your father." Zhao Xiangyi said from his arms. He took out a letter to the boy and said.

"Ayi, thank you so much!" Li Wen happily accepted the letter, and opened it to read in front of the man.The letter was written by his father, not his father's own handwriting, but there was a seal on it, which was his father's private seal, and he recognized it.

The letter was to report his safety, and his father told him that they returned safely.

He shared his joy with the men around him, Zhao Xiangyi nodded and said, "It's good that uncle returns safely."

"I don't know how to thank you for this matter. Thanks to you, and the brothers who have worked so hard to make such a trip. Later, I invite the brothers to have a drink at the bar. I will treat you." If Zhao Xiangyi was not here, he would The borrower really didn't know where to borrow it, and he was worried about outsiders.

Li Wen abducted the man's chest with his hand and asked, "We haven't been to Zhuangzi for a long time. On this rest day, let's go and play together?" Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city has become their gathering place. They haven't been to Zhuangzi's place in the next year. It's spring now, and it's a good idea to go hunting in the mountains.

"Okay." Since it was a young man's request, Zhao Xiangyi naturally did not refuse.

"And take Brother Chen and Xiaobao with them..."
