The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

After Zeng Yushi went out, Li Wen still stayed in the imperial study.

All the serving ladies and eunuchs went out, only Emperor Zhaozong and Li Liuyuan were in the imperial study, and Eunuch Sun stood guard outside the door.A group of guards were guarding outside, and anyone who tried to get closer to the imperial study would be spotted.

In the imperial study room at this moment, outsiders don't know what Emperor Zhaozong and Li Liuyuan said, except for the two of them, not even Eunuch Sun who is beside the emperor.

But at this time, the inside of the imperial study room is not as outsiders imagined.

"Look, here are all the memorials to impeach you..." Emperor Zhaozong pointed to the half-person-high memorials on the desk. They were all officials' impeachment of Li Wen. What he said was how much Li Wen's actions caused so much trouble. Trouble, "...Li Liuyuan, you are a man of great talent. I use you because I trust you. I also hope that you will not disappoint my trust in you."

The emperor seemed to have forgotten that such an approach was also approved by him, the emperor.

"Yes, I understand." Li Wen was listening to the training with his head down. The meaning hidden in the emperor's words was to remind him not to overdo it, otherwise he, the emperor, would not be able to protect him. Don't forget business to do.In fact, the emperor's mind is not difficult to understand. Li Wen actually understands better than anyone else that the emperor wants great benefits and a good reputation, but he is afraid of causing trouble.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the emperor just wanted benefits and didn't want to take responsibility.

He could imagine that once what they did caused conflicts of interests and class conflicts, which might affect the dragon chair sitting under his buttocks, then the game would be over.If that time comes, he might be branded as a sinner and pushed out to cover his crimes. So from the beginning, Li Wen's goal was not to focus on land reform, at least not yet.

He is now a bachelor commander. Apart from the power and people given by the emperor, he also has a few subordinates in the household department. Loyalty to him.The power and manpower given to him by the emperor may be taken back by the emperor at any time. These are not things and people that completely belong to him.

Only the people from Zhao Xiangyi can lend him. These people can't be used in the open, they can only help him do something secretly.

Li Wen would not want to put himself in danger, let alone his family and loved ones, then the price would be too great.In fact, he is not a person with too many political ideals and revenge. He can do as much work as he has strength, and no more.Otherwise, it's not worth it if you exhaust yourself and hurt the people around you.

Anyone who has read history books knows that very few politicians who proposed reforms in history were able to succeed, and a larger part of them paid a huge price for it, even their lives and fortunes. At times, they will be pushed out by those in power to appease the anger of the people, and end up with a murderous ending.Therefore, his goal from the beginning was not land reform.

Now that he has tried a little bit, Li Wen knows that the land reform nail cannot be touched for the time being.

But land reform must be carried out, but the time is not yet ripe, and he doesn't want to gamble with his wealth and life.All roads lead to Rome, not this road can lead to the place you want to go, so this road cannot be used, if there is danger, just change to a safer road, and the result will be the same.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Dong, Elder Qian Ge, Elder Zhang Ge and several other elders are seeking an audience outside." Eunuch Sun came in and said.Emperor Zhaozong left someone to knock on it, and seeing that it was almost done, he hummed and waved, "Okay, you can go back, and let Dong Xiang and Mr. Qian Ge come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Sun replied, and went outside to invite someone.

"Your Majesty, leave." Li Wen saluted and withdrew.

Outside the door of the imperial study room were waiting for a few elders, and Dong Xiang and several court officials were waiting outside to see the emperor.Just as Li Wen came out, he met the group of people who had come, and couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to. He saluted the elders and Xiang Dong, and he stood sideways, waiting for the adults to pass by.

There is no way, these people have higher official positions than him, and they only have to salute when they meet people.

Eunuch Sun came out and asked people to go in, "Mr. Dong, Mr. Qian Ge, Mr. Feng Ge... and several adults, the emperor invites you to go in."

These people don't dare to have a bad attitude towards the grandson next to the emperor. Sun Haide is an old man who has served the emperor since the emperor or the prince, or the eunuch in the palace. They want to see the emperor. You have to go through Eunuch Sun's notification and pass before you can go in and meet the emperor.

So this is why these ministers, even if they hate eunuchs, have to become polite with Eunuch Sun.

It's just that they were polite to Eunuch Sun, but they didn't need to be polite to such small officials as Li Wen.

A group of people walked past Li Wen, turned a blind eye to Li Wen who was standing on the side, and went into the imperial study without even looking straight at him.

The tip of his tongue twitched in his mouth, and Li Wen rolled his eyes in his heart, but he didn't care about it.

These are not his people, what is so uncomfortable?Isn't it just being looked down upon?The best way is to step down and look down on those who look down on you!He is now an official without these people's congresses, but who can say that he will definitely be able to sit in that position for the rest of his life?

There is an old saying, don't bully young people into poverty!

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.Just wait, 30 years later... No, not 30 years, just ten years, after ten years, he will definitely stand taller than these people, and make those people who used to not look at him shy beg him!

When he came out of the palace, he saw a carriage waiting at the gate of the palace.

The man in the carriage raised the curtain with one hand, and reached out to him with the other. Li Wen took the man's hand, got into the carriage, sat down beside Zhao Xiangyi, and said, "I'm so hungry, find someone first." place to eat.

"Eat something to cushion your stomach first." Zhao Xiangyi stuffed two biscuits into the young man's hand, which he asked the boy to buy just now, and they were still slightly warm.

Li Wen took it and asked if there was any water. Zhao Xiangyi picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for the boy. Li Wen took it and drank it in one gulp.

From morning until now, I only drank a little water and didn’t eat anything. I was thirsty and hungry. Now I feel that eating pancakes is delicious in the world. Li Wen took two bites of pancakes and asked the man next to him, “Yeah, it’s delicious. , do you want it?" "No, just eat it." Zhao Xiangyi told the driver to go to the restaurant.

"Have you been waiting here for a long time?"

"Fortunately."

The carriage was walking on the street with people coming and going, Li Wenzheng was talking to Zhao Xiangyi about the morning court today, but he didn't realize that the danger was approaching him.

"Swish--"

A short-feathered arrow shot in from the car window, Zhao Xiangyi protected the boy with one hand, and pinched the hidden weapon with two fingers.

The second hidden weapon shot in, Zhao Xiangyi quickly grabbed the long sword at hand to block it, the hidden weapon was embedded in the wall of the car, and said a word in a cold voice, "Chasing!"

The two guards outside the carriage followed the direction of the hidden weapon and chased after it.

When Zhao Xiangyi pulled him, Li Wen didn't even realize what was going on. When he saw the hidden weapon in the man's hand, and there was another one on the wall of the car, the hidden weapon shot in from the direction he was sitting on just now. position, his eyeballs bulged for a moment, and then he cursed, "Lying right!"

——Who, who did it, stand up for me!

Zhao Xiangyi pressed a button on his hand, and the surrounding partitions rose.

It turned out that this carriage, which looked no different from an ordinary carriage, had a baffle inside, which was made of pure iron, but the second baffle was not used in normal times.It can be raised in case of danger, so that hidden weapons outside cannot be shot in.

"Is something wrong with you?"

The two asked almost in unison, paused, and said in unison, "I'm fine.

"It's good that you are not injured. With me here, I will protect you, don't be afraid." Zhao Xiangyi put his arms around the young man, still a little scared in his heart. Fortunately, he was waiting at the gate of the palace to pick up people today, otherwise the carriage would Only the young man was there, what if the hidden weapon that came in hit the young man...

The head of the hidden weapon with a triangular head is shining with a cold light. If this thing hits a person, it must be able to make a hole. The triangular hook is shot into the person's body and can hook the person's flesh. If you want to dig it out, you must To use a knife.

It looks like poison has been smeared on it. I don't know what kind of medicine it is, but I can be sure that these people must use deadly poison to kill people.

Thinking that these damned assassins are impossible to guard against, if one is not careful, something will really happen to the boy.Zhao Xiangyi couldn't imagine it. He held the young man in his arms and did not let go. He placed a kiss on the young man's forehead and said, "I won't let these people hurt you."

"I know, with you here, nothing will happen to me." Li Wen put his hand on the man's back and patted the man's back, comforting the man who was worried about him, "Don't worry, In a few days, these people will stop bothering me^"

So as long as he pays more attention these few days, these people won't trouble him anymore.

However, given his current position, what he does in the future will inevitably touch the interests of some people, so

When going out in the future, you still have to pay more attention, lest you accidentally play yourself to death, Li Wen doesn't think that he will have such good luck that he can wear it again after he dies.

At this time, Zhao Xiangyi didn't understand the meaning behind Li Wen's words.

The carriage stopped in the backyard of the restaurant, and the two got out of the carriage and entered the wing room.

At this time, the guard who had just chased the man came back and returned, "Master, we chased him, we caught up with the assassin, and almost caught him =... But the other party committed suicide by taking poison when he saw that the mission failed. We searched the assassin. The body of an assassin was searched, but nothing was found to prove the identity of the assassin, the person is already dead, and the body was cleaned up by us."

"So, this assassin should be a dead soldier?"

Only the dead will commit suicide by taking poison when they see the mission failed, but they don't know who sent the assassin to kill him.As soon as he thought about the problem, Li Wen subconsciously rubbed his chin with one hand and looked at the man beside him.

"Preliminary guess, the identity of the assassin should be a dead man." Zhao Xiangyi waved his hand and let his people go down first, "Go and find out who sent this assassin."

"Yes, master." The person came and went out.
