President of Datang [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 50
While talking, Li Tan reached out and untied the seal hanging from his waist and put it on his left hand.
The scene was extremely quiet for a while, and everyone was taken aback by Li Tan's bold remarks. No one would have thought that he could do such a thing.
Zhang Xi stared at him even more, while the other students who were dragged into the water were first blinded, and then glared at Zhang Xi.
The first person to react was Li Longji, who coughed and said, "31 Lang, stop messing around."
Li Tan turned his head to Li Longji and said, "Father, I know what I'm doing. Although I no longer study at Guozixue, I don't want Yushi Zhongcheng to hurt all my masters and classmates so badly. Since he thinks he is a Guozi Learning and teaching is not good, so let me prove whether it is Zhang Shi who is ignorant of learning and skill, or Guozixue who is incapable of teaching."
Zhang Yi's face was ashen. If it were an ordinary official, he would have already opened his mouth to sophistry. However, Li Tan is not an ordinary person, the most important thing is that he is too young.
Zhang Yi has also come over from this age, and knows that his sophistry skills are of no use to such impulsive young people. No matter what you say, they will be extremely stubborn to believe in a truth, so he is very annoyed by those stupid people green.
In the past, he could sneer and ignore this kind of stunned youth, but this one can't... Not only can't ignore it, but also find a way to resolve this gauntlet.
Li Tan's betting on the throne sounds a bit reckless, but when he thinks about it carefully, he feels that he has almost nothing to lose.
Even if he loses, he can still be demoted to the county king, and maybe he can be promoted to the prince in a short time.
After all, he lost a bet on the throne, not made a mistake. Who can object to the sage who wants his son to be the prince?Didn't you fail to object this time?
He thought of this, and as his own son, Zhang Shi, did not inherit his talent in learning, but he was quite the same in these crooked brains.
Just when Zhang Yi was thinking about how to get Li Tan back, Zhang Xi finally couldn't bear the pressure and said: "You are a prince, and you can always get it back after you lose the position of prince. Why should you use it to exchange us?" Never go out of office? It's not fair!"
Zhang Yi was almost stunned to death by his son when he heard this, and when he was about to speak, Li Tan directly said, "Okay, if I can't compare with you today, I will never be the prince, how about this?"
Zhang Xi stared at him dumbfounded, with only one thought in his mind: Is he crazy?
Not only him, even Wang Jijiu thought Li Tan was crazy.
His gamble has affected too many people, and the position of the two officials in the official department is not clear now. There are too many, too many remote and unpopular questions.
No one is optimistic about Li Tan, and he has said so much, those students are also ambitious, and they don't want to retreat when Li Tan pushes them so hard.
What's more, it is true that their studies are not the best in Guozixue, but they are not as bad as Zhang Xi, and they are not as good as King Ning with so many of them?
So the other students except Zhang Shi looked at each other and saluted together and said: "I am willing to continue to accept the assessment!"
Li Tan ignored them and just stared at Zhang Shi.
To be honest, those students were just incidental, because they were also related households, so they directly expanded the scope of attack. If they were ordinary students, Li Tan would not target them at all.
Zhang Xi's face was pale and trembling for a while, and he was very clear about his own abilities.
Seeing that he couldn't help it, Zhang Yi said, "Your Highness is still young, and I don't know much about it, so I just take the classics and history."
Li Tan laughed in his heart when he heard this, and felt that Zhang Yi was an assist from a god.
He may struggle a bit if he tries to discuss it, although it is not impossible, but unless the purpose of discussing this kind of thing is higher, it is difficult to say who is stronger than whom.
Li Tan turned his head to look at Song Yao and Miao Jinqing and said, "I also invite the two servants to come up with questions."
Song Yao and Miao Jinqing looked at each other, Song Yao took a step back silently, he was no match for Miao Jinqing in terms of classics and history.
Immediately, Miao Jinqing stepped up to Alexander and began to dictate scriptures and history questions.
Li Tan was listening and writing at the same time. Although it was said that many people took the exam together, in fact everyone's attention was on Li Tan.
Wang Jijiu even moved closer to Li Tan, thinking that if Li Tan couldn't write, he could find an opportunity to remind him, even if it was difficult to do it in full view.
However, what is surprising is that Miao Jinqing asked ten questions at the beginning, and everyone except Zhang Xi answered them all.
After all, under the pressure of never being an official, these people don't care about Miansheng's nervousness, they only know that if they don't answer well today, there will really be no future.
Zhang Shi happened to be sitting next to Li Tan, seeing that he was about to hand in a blank paper, and Li Tan had already written a lot, so he was a little desperate for a while.
He turned his head to look at his father, and found that his father's expression was unprecedentedly gloomy, and he couldn't help but panic for a while.
Is he really going to stay out of office for the rest of his life?
After Miao Jinqing finished posing these questions, Gao Lishi on the side suddenly said: "Most people have answered these questions. Mr. Miao can ask some other questions. Scholars should read classics and history, but they can't just read classics and history."
Miao Jinqing glanced at Gao Lishi, quite puzzled, not sure which side the Duke of Bohai was on.
Song Yao felt that Gao Lishi might be dissatisfied with Li Tan, that's why she said so.
But Li Tan felt that Gao Lishi was giving him a chance to perform.
Only Gao Lishi knew that he...actually wanted to see how confident Li Tan was, and such a basic recitation of scriptures and history could not reflect Li Tan's level at all.
Well, as the saying goes, he just wants to watch the fun.
After hearing this, Miao Jinqing asked in the principle of fairness and justice: "How? Are you confident in answering the question?"
Zhang Xi lowered his head and said nothing, while the other students looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and replied sparsely: "Yes!"
Although he gave an affirmative answer, it still sounded like he lacked confidence.
Li Tan waited for them to answer, looked up at Miao Jinqing, smiled and said: "Miao Shilang came up with a question at will, and dare not say anything else. I have covered all the books in the world."
Miao Jinqing was frightened by Li Tan's self-confidence, and Zhang Yi at the side finally found a chance to sneer and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning speaks so loudly."
Li Tan still smiled and said: "My tone is natural because I really read the book, otherwise... Brother Zhang dare to say this sentence?"
Zhang Shimu looked at him, Zhang Yi on the side didn't expect Li Tan to drag his son into the water, but he was a little angry when he saw Zhang Xi's stupidity.
For a while, it seemed that any of the students here was his son, and he would not think so passively now.
After listening to Li Tan's words, Miao Jinqing's mind really became active.
At this moment, he is not only an official of the Ministry of Officials, but also a top student. Seeing the younger top student, he has a competitive heart.
Miao Jinqing couldn't help but want to test whether Li Tan was really as he said, and he had dabbled in many classics and history collections.
However, in order to take care of other students, Miao Jinqing's questions were fairly simple at the beginning, for example, the first question was: On the day of divination, the master crowns Duanxuan, and what to follow.
This is the content in "Yi Li", Li Tan quickly wrote: it is located outside the door, to the west.
Some of the other students could answer well, while others couldn't. After the fifth question, they couldn't answer at all, and could only look at Miao Jinqing with a confused expression.
Li Tan glanced around, threw the pen away and said, "It's still too slow to write, let's ask and answer, if someone can answer it, they can answer it together."
Miao Jinqing glanced at Li Longji silently, and found that Li Longji had no objection, but just looked at Li Tan with concern, and then asked: "Then continue to the next question: the way of heaven and earth, each guards his own place, what's next? "
Li Tan didn't pause: "The top and bottom are not connected, not the rule of humanity. This sentence comes from the second volume of "Zi Xia Yi Zhuan" Kun Xia Gan Shang."
Students:? ? ? ? ?Easy to learn all exams?
Miao Jinqing seemed to be competing with Li Tan, and asked again: "The administrator, the place of deployment, is like Cao Bureau, what's next?"
Li Tan replied: "Today's Si Nong is the same as the various offices of the Taifu, and the Lang office is not the ear of Cao Ju of Lang Guan... Even if Han Han belongs to the literature, it is too far away to make such an idea. This passage comes from Langya It was written by Yan Shigu, the county magistrate, in the fifth volume of "Kuang absurd Zhengsu".
Miao Jinqing became even more curious, and asked again: "Wu envoy Zixu to rescue Cai, punish Jiang Chu, and what happened next?"
Li Tan replied: "I will not go to the tomb of King Zhiping for a long time, and I want to repay Chu. This sentence comes from Volume [-] of "Yuejueshu"."
Everyone was finally a little convinced after hearing that, they were convinced by Miao Jinqing, and they were also a little convinced by Li Tan.
And Li Tan looked at Miao Jinqing with complicated eyes, feeling that a beautiful woman is a thief. After all, you are so knowledgeable that you have become a servant of the official department, so why do you still do this kind of thing of relying on others?
If this matter had not been exposed, then he might have more opportunities in the future, but now... this almost ruined his future.
Miao Jinqing looked at Li Tan and took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness has studied extensively, and I am convinced."
After finishing speaking, he retreated to the side sadly, but at this time Song Yao said curiously: "I am not as good as Miao Shilang in the study of classics and history, but I am more involved in military books. I wonder if Your Highness has ever studied it?"
Li Tan raised his head, looking a little arrogant: "Yes."
Song Yao didn't mind either, and asked directly: "Abiding by the law and judging, the duty of ministers, what book did it come from?"
"From "Wei Liaozi", the former is an official, and the latter is the inspection of the Ming law, and the master's practice...Officials are divided into civil and military, but the king's second art."
Song Yao asked again: "There are no wise men in a dangerous country, and no good men in a chaotic government. What will happen next?"
Li Tan: "Those who love deeply are eager to seek talents, and those who are happy to be able to support others are generous. It comes from "Su Shu" An Li."
Song Yao looked surprised, and after asking a few more questions, she cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I admire you."
The students sitting behind Li Tan were dumbfounded now, and they kept saying one sentence back and forth in their minds: Is this still a human being?
The two big bosses of the official department have already retreated!
These two people have always been praised as well-read people, so many words and phrases that are so remote that they have never heard of them are not embarrassing to His Highness King Ning, are they really human?
If Concubine Yang was here, she might answer them: Of course not a human being, this one is a god.
It's a pity that Yang Guifei was not there, and Miao Jinqing and Song Yao retreated one after another, even Li Longji's interest was seduced.
As an emperor, it is difficult to judge whether Li Longji's various policies in his later years were right or not, but his literary accomplishment is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Li Longji couldn't help but also asked a few casually, and Li Tan naturally responded fluently.
Li Longji smiled and said, "That's right, how could Lang 31 even read such an uncommon book?"
Li Tan is a little proud, how can he teach people if he doesn't read much?Don't forget, he needs a master and apprentice to cheat him!
Of course, this reason cannot be said, so he had no choice but to say: "As long as it is a book, it has its own meaning. Only by taking the essence and discarding the dross can you become a great talent. Can you understand the book of sages by yourself?"
Li Longji couldn't help pointing at him and said, "You, can you still recite it backwards?"
Li Tan: ...
He was really just talking, but he was too successful just now, and now everyone looked at him as if he could really recite it backwards, so he could only nod under the pressure and said: "Yes, some books can be recited backwards. of."
Li Longji asked, "Oh? What book?"
Li Tan said calmly: "The Analects of Confucius, The Great Learning, and The Doctrine of the Mean are all acceptable."
Li Longji slapped the case and said: "Recite it, if you can't recite it, I will cut you off!"
Li Tan turned on the system full of black lines. Really, when he answered the questions just now, he answered them all by himself. At that time, he was quite complacent and felt that he was very good, but he turned his head and boasted, and he still had to open the system. Cheating.
This makes people uncomfortable.
So Li Tan recited the three books, "The Analects", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "University" in one breath.
After reciting, everyone present, including Zhang Yi, had only one thought: this person is probably really not human.
Li Linfu stared at Li Tan even thinking, why didn't he notice when King Ning was in the East Palace?
Could it be that the crown prince protected him too well?
After all, as a staunch anti-prince, Li Linfu may have a deeper understanding of the East Palace than his own family.
But just like this, he didn't know that Li Tan had this kind of ability before. When he thought of this, Li Linfu couldn't help being a little startled. Li Tan is so favored now, he is naturally part of the prince's party. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to move it down.
Li Linfu was better, after all, he just realized that there would be another enemy in the future.
However, this enemy has not posed any threat to him now, so he is still in a stable mood now.
However, the mood of the other people in the main hall was not so stable. Wang Jijiu felt that he was about to feel elated.
Zhang Yi and Zhang Xun knew that they had suffered a crushing defeat today, Song Yao and Miao Jinqing knew that they would definitely be dealt with, and all the students felt that life was hopeless—they would not be able to serve in the future.
No matter how ignorant and incompetent they are, as family officials, the education they have received since childhood is for the purpose of becoming officials in the future, regardless of whether they are big or small, they always want to be officials.
But now the purpose of life is gone!
For a while there were quite a few who cried bitterly on the spot, but Zhang Xi was better in comparison. He didn't cry, but his whole body was numb, and he sat there like a statue.
Song Yao and Miao Jinqing looked at each other, knelt down and said, "I'm guilty!"
Things have come to this point, don't say anything, please forgive me.
Even Li Linfu knelt down and said, "I am guilty."
Zhang Yi had no choice but to pull his son to kneel down. All of a sudden, except for Gao Lishi Li Tan and Wang Jijiu, everyone else in the hall fell to their knees.
Li Longji was originally happy. No matter who he was, he would be very proud when he found out that his descendants were the best among their peers.
However, this joy did not last long before it was ruined by these people's pleadings.
Li Longji just remembered that they called these people here to investigate the election fraud case.
In fact, there was indeed fraud in the election, his face darkened, and he said with a cold snort: "This matter has little to do with brother slave, but because brother slave has delegated power too much, let's fine half a year's salary."
Li Linfu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Saint."
Li Longji looked around and said: "Others, leave it to the discretion of the three provinces!"
Zhang Yi's body trembled, just now Li Longji personally punished Li Linfu, that is, picked him out, and they handed over to the three provinces to deal with, so they had to go through a serious process.
"Tang Laws and Discussions" has mentioned the judgments on such things as fraud, and it seems that none of them will be spared this time.
Seeing the gloomy clouds above the main hall, Li Tan said, "Father, just now my son was young and energetic, so he gambled with all his classmates once, but now thinking about it, it is a bit wrong. As the saying goes, knowing a mistake can make a big difference, because once I feel a little uneasy when I think about it, so how about this...if these people can pass the election seriously in the future, they will still be recruited, if they can't, they will not be allowed to become officials, and they will not be allowed to be recommended?"
Li Longji was also somewhat entangled. No one thought that Li Tan could win the bet just now. At that time, Li Longji was already prepared. Even if Li Tan wanted to demote himself as the county king, he would also give Li Tan the closure of the household.
If it is sealed there, Li Tan's treatment will not drop too much. Except that he is not as good as the prince in some places, it will not make him too uncomfortable.
However, no one expected Li Tan to be so good at fighting, and it would be a headache to win. Some of these students are from good family backgrounds.
Li Longji was not worried that they would not be able to become officials, but only worried that Li Tan would be sad in the future if he offended so many people at once.
But I didn't expect that Li Tan was not stupid, he didn't say that the bet was void, but from what he said, the bet was not strictly enforced.
The students really thought that they were hopeless in this life, but they didn't expect that there would be a day when they would be able to become officials.
As for the requirement to study, to be honest, most of them have basically come to their senses after being hanged and beaten by their peers... no, people younger than them.
Li Tan, as the other party to the bet, proposed this method on his own initiative, and Li Longji would naturally agree. He nodded and said, "Just as 31 Lang said, did you all hear clearly?"
All the students were grateful, and finally walked out with each other's support - after all, after experiencing the ups and downs of this day, the exhaustion in the heart is more painful than the exhaustion in the body.
But before they left, they all looked at Li Tan gratefully, and didn't remember the fact that Li Tan beat them up.
Of course, strictly speaking, there is no way to hold grudges. When there is too much difference, apart from looking up at the back of others and admiring, there seems to be no other emotions.
Li Tan also heaved a sigh of relief.
Then he regretted why he didn't go with everyone, because Li Longji turned on his blue cat naughty three thousand questions mode, Li Tan listened to Li Longji asking him where he read the books, how he memorized them, and whether he could read them Don't forget, the whole person is broken.
It would be great if he could have a photographic memory. Does he still need to read books every day?
If people don't go to Guozixue, it's equivalent to graduation. Reading books is no longer to cope with exams, but to enrich themselves. Only he is struggling, like a senior high school student, reading and memorizing every day.
A little bit of spare time is devoted to the reading system, and what's even more cheating is that he hasn't increased his master-apprentice value after studying by himself, so there's no reason for it.
Seeing that Li Longji even started to discuss his study method, and wanted to let other princes and grandsons learn it, Li Tan quickly changed the subject: "Father, in fact, I am not really impulsive today, but some aristocratic families and noble children are now Really not, do you still remember Zhu Xieli?"
Li Longji turned his attention away from studying and learning methods, turned to look at Li Tan and asked, "Zhu Xieli? The son of Yongshou County King? What's wrong?"
Now when he hears the word Zhu Xie, he thinks of Zhu Xie's loyalty. Although Zhu Xie is dead, he is still unhappy.
Li Tan said: "The last time Zhu Xieli clashed with other students of Guozixue, why? Isn't it that they are inferior in civil and martial arts? They all mocked him as a barbarian, but I didn't say that this barbarian worked harder than them. If they work too hard, no matter whether it is a ten-day test or a major test, they will fail others, which is really not good."
As soon as Li Longji heard it, he recalled the incident last time, and couldn't help asking: "Can't you pass the exam? Neither can your nephews?"
Li Tan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, his nephews should refer to his brothers and cousins back then.
He was silent for a while and said, "It's also... not as good."
So Li Longji became angry. He felt that his child must not have worked hard if he failed the exam. As for talent...he would not admit that his children and grandchildren were not talented enough.
Seeing that Li Longji began to think of ways to urge his children and grandchildren to study hard again, Li Tan couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
I feel sorry for everyone, because he alone brought down the entire royal family.
Li Longji was only angry for a moment. Although under the pressure of Zhu Xieli, the royal family lost a bit miserably, isn't there still a Li Tan?
He believed that Zhu Xieli must be inferior to Li Tan.
Li Tan felt a lot about Alexander for Li Longji's trust. After all, if he didn't use the system to cheat, he would probably fail Zhu Xieli in the exam.
After all, the Guozixue exam is not just about endorsement.
After Li Longji encouraged Li Tan to turn around, he took him to have dinner with Concubine Yang.
After finally getting through this day, Li Tan felt exhausted when he returned to the palace.
As a result, as soon as he sat down to take a rest and eat some supper before going to bed, the concierge reported that An Lushan was coming to visit.
Holding the snack in his hand, Li Tan hated that there was no curfew system in the workshop. It would be great if there was a curfew, so that An Lushan would not come to him so late at night!
However, why did An Lushan come this time?
While Li Tan was wondering, he asked An Lushan to be invited over.
When An Lushan entered the door, the first thing Li Tan noticed was the big witch An Lifan who was following him.
To be honest, Li Tan has always felt that the so-called great witch should just be a product of the worship of theocracy in this era.
And the habit of the land of China since ancient times is, I believe in you, and you have to give me corresponding rewards.
If I don't get something in return, then I'm sorry, I don't believe you anymore.
Not only did they not believe it, but they even smashed the statues of gods.
And this big witch might just be someone An Lushan used to fool his subordinates or comfort himself. However, after realizing that An Lushan always brought An Lifan with him wherever he went, Li Tan finally realized something was wrong.
This kind of emphasis seems to be more than just superstition.
Li Tan looked at An Lushan and asked, "It's getting late, is there something important for brother Yi to come to the door suddenly?"
An Lushan didn't seem to have heard Li Tan's words, and he was always faintly dissatisfied, and asked directly: "There is indeed something I want to ask brother."
Li Tan asked: "What?"
An Lushan then said: "I heard two days ago that there seemed to be fraud in the election, and I wanted to report it to my dad for a thorough investigation, but today I heard that Zhang Yi was demoted to be the prefect of Huaiyang, Song Yao was He was demoted to be the prefect of Wudang, Miao Jinqing was demoted to be the prefect of Ankang, and the same examiner, the judge of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Yu, etc., were all demoted to Lingnan officials, and even the king of Guangping was implicated, but because of the fraud in the election?"
Li Tan's first reaction after hearing this was that the news from An Lushan came very quickly, the second was that the sentence from the three provinces was also very fast this time, and the third was... It seemed that Li Chu had been tricked by accident.
He sorted out his thoughts and said: "If all the judges who are selected are dealt with, then it is indeed related to this matter."
An Lushan asked: "Oh, there is indeed fraud? Who is so bold?"
Li Tan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Brother, didn't you ask the question knowingly? Anyone who is bold will be sentenced."
An Lushan: ...
Did he mean to ask this?He wanted to know the whole process. It was a pity that An Lushan did not participate in such an important matter.
He originally wanted to use this matter to win the favor of the students of the Imperial College, but he never expected that he would never have the chance to make a move.
As for An Lushan's seemingly gossiping question, but he didn't know the purpose of asking, Li Yanliang was surprised. He was very perfunctory, and just briefly described what happened.
As for how he hanged and beat the students, he didn't go into details. Of course, he didn't want to hide himself, and there is no way to hide it. It is estimated that after today, there may be rumors in Chang'an that he is a school bully.
He just felt that... the words he said about this kind of thing had a feeling of boasting, and he was a little obedient.
However, An Lushan was able to basically restore what happened through simple narration. He smiled and said, "My brother is very knowledgeable, and I admire him very much."
Li Tan laughed and said, "After all, I don't have anything to do now, so I naturally have a lot of time to study. Brother, as an important official in the court, he has countless official duties to do every day, so I can't match them."
An Lushan got the answer he wanted, stood up and said: "It's getting late, I don't want to bother brother, brother, let's go to bed earlier."
Li Tan couldn't help but slander: If you hadn't come, I would have rested long ago.
However, he still got up and prepared to send An Lushan out, but when An Lushan had already stepped out of the gate, the big witch An Lifan who had been quietly following him suddenly turned his head and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's a good idea."
Li Tan was taken aback: "What?"
An Lifan said: "I thought that no one else in the world could steal luck, but now it seems that I was wrong. This is my token. Your Highness, please keep it. If your Highness wants to, use this Just contact me as a token."
While talking, he stuffed a bell into Li Tan's hand, and then left quickly without giving Li Tan a chance to react.
Li Tan held the bell in his hand, but he didn't react for a while.
By the time he realized it, An Lifan had already left.
He frowned and returned to the palace. After washing, he played with the bell in his hand and asked Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, what does An Lifan mean by stealing luck? This bell seems to be empty. How can I use it?"
Zhi Yi took the bell and hugged it in his arms and studied it for a while, finally gave up and said: "I don't know, this bell should have a special mark on it, but it may be just the simplest token, you let someone take it to go Just date him."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment before he realized that An Lifan would not appear immediately after using it.
He was really fooled by the word "great witch".
However, what did An Lifan mean by stealing luck?
He didn't steal An Lushan's luck, if he could steal luck, he would definitely steal all the luck from An Lushan, so as not to cause any chaos in Anshi.
Zhi Yi was also a little strange: "What did you do that affected him?"
Li Tan thought about it, the only thing he did today was to expose the election fraud, could it be...
With a thought in his mind, he couldn't help but open the history books in the reading system to check. Sure enough, someone found An Lushan in this fraud case in a detour.
An Lushan only reported it when he ran to Li Longji to file a complaint. At that time, people gave this incident a term "Zhang Shiyebai".
Originally, An Lushan probably gained a wave of favorability through this incident, not only from the students, but also from Li Longji.
But now this matter was directly intercepted by Li Tan, no wonder An Lifan felt that he had stolen An Lushan's luck.
But what was An Lifan looking for him for?Could it be that you think everyone can steal luck, so you want to exchange and discuss it?
To Li Tan's question, Zhi Yi's answer was very simple and rude: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Li Tan: What do I need you for?
He said angrily: "You are probably the most useless system in the world!"
He was not happy when he said that, Zhiyi also wanted to give an answer for Li Tan to prove.
In the end, after much deliberation, there was nothing to do, so it had no choice but to say: "Go and find it in the book, I'm just a customer service, I don't know anything!"
Li Tan: I really believed in your evil.
He also wanted to look for it in the books, but because things like Dawu are special products of ethnic minorities, there are very few records in the books, and even if there are, they are vague.
After much deliberation, Li Tan turned around and went to Zhu Xieli.
After all, strictly speaking, Zhu Xieli and his tribe are also Turks.
"Big witch?" Zhu Xieli was taken aback for a moment, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
After Li Tan narrated what happened to An Lifan, he looked at Zhu Xieli with hope.
Zhu Xieli was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, cleared his throat and said: "Great witch... It has been a long time since there has been a great witch in our clan."
Li Tan was slightly taken aback: "Why?"
Zhu Xieli explained: "Great witches are not chosen by humans, but by gods. They must be able to communicate with gods to become great witches. Ordinary witches can only sense gods, but cannot communicate."
Speaking of this, he was also a little helpless: "Since the last great witch passed away, there have been no children with great witch qualifications for ten years, not only our other tribes, but also An Lushan...where did he find the great witch?"
After hearing this, Li Tan immediately asked: "Before this, there were no great witches in the tribes of Anlu Mountain?"
Zhu Xieli nodded slowly: "That's right, so there is something wrong with this so-called great witch."
Once a child with great witch qualifications is found, he will be taken away and cultivated. It is impossible for a child to be discovered after becoming an adult.
As soon as Li Tan heard that there was a problem, he immediately said, "I'll ask him to come out and meet!"
Zhu Xieli: "I'll go with you."
Li Tan hesitated for a while and didn't object. The main reason was that he didn't have much attack power, so it was more at ease to bring a strong output.
He sent someone to find An Lifan with the bell, and made an appointment to meet at Zhu Xieli's villa.
Li Tan was originally worried that An Lifan would not want to see Zhu Xieli if he was around.
Unexpectedly, An Lifan happily agreed to Li Tan's invitation.
When An Lifan came, he was alone, without any entourage by his side.
However, the more he was like this, the more uneasy Li Tan felt. He turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xieli, and then he felt a little more at ease.
Sensing his gaze, Zhu Xieli said, "Don't worry, the big witch is not as powerful as you imagined."
Just as Li Tan was about to say something, An Lifan followed his servants and was led to the garden.
At this time, even if Li Tan had no idea, he still had to pretend to be calm, so that the other party couldn't see his flaws.
And Zhu Xieli took a step back to protect him, his eyes fixed on An Lifan.
He said it lightly just now, but he was still worried that An Lifan would be unfavorable to Li Tan.
For this reason, he even deployed dozens of crossbowmen around Zhuangzi.
Li Tan looked at An Lifan and asked indifferently: "The great witch has a private appointment, what's the matter?"
An Lifan glanced at Zhu Xieli, for some reason Li Tan could see joy on his face.
Suddenly he was a little worried, could An Lifan's fundamental goal be Zhu Xieli?
Give him the bell just to use him to lure Zhu Xieli?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Tan couldn't help but his face darkened. Just as he was about to say something, he saw An Lifan bowing to him and performing the great gift of the Turkic clan.
At the same time, An Lifan also said in his mouth: "An Lifan is willing to worship His Royal Highness King Ning as his teacher, and I implore His Highness to accept me as an apprentice."
Li Tan: What the hell? ? ? ?
The scene was extremely quiet for a while, and everyone was taken aback by Li Tan's bold remarks. No one would have thought that he could do such a thing.
Zhang Xi stared at him even more, while the other students who were dragged into the water were first blinded, and then glared at Zhang Xi.
The first person to react was Li Longji, who coughed and said, "31 Lang, stop messing around."
Li Tan turned his head to Li Longji and said, "Father, I know what I'm doing. Although I no longer study at Guozixue, I don't want Yushi Zhongcheng to hurt all my masters and classmates so badly. Since he thinks he is a Guozi Learning and teaching is not good, so let me prove whether it is Zhang Shi who is ignorant of learning and skill, or Guozixue who is incapable of teaching."
Zhang Yi's face was ashen. If it were an ordinary official, he would have already opened his mouth to sophistry. However, Li Tan is not an ordinary person, the most important thing is that he is too young.
Zhang Yi has also come over from this age, and knows that his sophistry skills are of no use to such impulsive young people. No matter what you say, they will be extremely stubborn to believe in a truth, so he is very annoyed by those stupid people green.
In the past, he could sneer and ignore this kind of stunned youth, but this one can't... Not only can't ignore it, but also find a way to resolve this gauntlet.
Li Tan's betting on the throne sounds a bit reckless, but when he thinks about it carefully, he feels that he has almost nothing to lose.
Even if he loses, he can still be demoted to the county king, and maybe he can be promoted to the prince in a short time.
After all, he lost a bet on the throne, not made a mistake. Who can object to the sage who wants his son to be the prince?Didn't you fail to object this time?
He thought of this, and as his own son, Zhang Shi, did not inherit his talent in learning, but he was quite the same in these crooked brains.
Just when Zhang Yi was thinking about how to get Li Tan back, Zhang Xi finally couldn't bear the pressure and said: "You are a prince, and you can always get it back after you lose the position of prince. Why should you use it to exchange us?" Never go out of office? It's not fair!"
Zhang Yi was almost stunned to death by his son when he heard this, and when he was about to speak, Li Tan directly said, "Okay, if I can't compare with you today, I will never be the prince, how about this?"
Zhang Xi stared at him dumbfounded, with only one thought in his mind: Is he crazy?
Not only him, even Wang Jijiu thought Li Tan was crazy.
His gamble has affected too many people, and the position of the two officials in the official department is not clear now. There are too many, too many remote and unpopular questions.
No one is optimistic about Li Tan, and he has said so much, those students are also ambitious, and they don't want to retreat when Li Tan pushes them so hard.
What's more, it is true that their studies are not the best in Guozixue, but they are not as bad as Zhang Xi, and they are not as good as King Ning with so many of them?
So the other students except Zhang Shi looked at each other and saluted together and said: "I am willing to continue to accept the assessment!"
Li Tan ignored them and just stared at Zhang Shi.
To be honest, those students were just incidental, because they were also related households, so they directly expanded the scope of attack. If they were ordinary students, Li Tan would not target them at all.
Zhang Xi's face was pale and trembling for a while, and he was very clear about his own abilities.
Seeing that he couldn't help it, Zhang Yi said, "Your Highness is still young, and I don't know much about it, so I just take the classics and history."
Li Tan laughed in his heart when he heard this, and felt that Zhang Yi was an assist from a god.
He may struggle a bit if he tries to discuss it, although it is not impossible, but unless the purpose of discussing this kind of thing is higher, it is difficult to say who is stronger than whom.
Li Tan turned his head to look at Song Yao and Miao Jinqing and said, "I also invite the two servants to come up with questions."
Song Yao and Miao Jinqing looked at each other, Song Yao took a step back silently, he was no match for Miao Jinqing in terms of classics and history.
Immediately, Miao Jinqing stepped up to Alexander and began to dictate scriptures and history questions.
Li Tan was listening and writing at the same time. Although it was said that many people took the exam together, in fact everyone's attention was on Li Tan.
Wang Jijiu even moved closer to Li Tan, thinking that if Li Tan couldn't write, he could find an opportunity to remind him, even if it was difficult to do it in full view.
However, what is surprising is that Miao Jinqing asked ten questions at the beginning, and everyone except Zhang Xi answered them all.
After all, under the pressure of never being an official, these people don't care about Miansheng's nervousness, they only know that if they don't answer well today, there will really be no future.
Zhang Shi happened to be sitting next to Li Tan, seeing that he was about to hand in a blank paper, and Li Tan had already written a lot, so he was a little desperate for a while.
He turned his head to look at his father, and found that his father's expression was unprecedentedly gloomy, and he couldn't help but panic for a while.
Is he really going to stay out of office for the rest of his life?
After Miao Jinqing finished posing these questions, Gao Lishi on the side suddenly said: "Most people have answered these questions. Mr. Miao can ask some other questions. Scholars should read classics and history, but they can't just read classics and history."
Miao Jinqing glanced at Gao Lishi, quite puzzled, not sure which side the Duke of Bohai was on.
Song Yao felt that Gao Lishi might be dissatisfied with Li Tan, that's why she said so.
But Li Tan felt that Gao Lishi was giving him a chance to perform.
Only Gao Lishi knew that he...actually wanted to see how confident Li Tan was, and such a basic recitation of scriptures and history could not reflect Li Tan's level at all.
Well, as the saying goes, he just wants to watch the fun.
After hearing this, Miao Jinqing asked in the principle of fairness and justice: "How? Are you confident in answering the question?"
Zhang Xi lowered his head and said nothing, while the other students looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and replied sparsely: "Yes!"
Although he gave an affirmative answer, it still sounded like he lacked confidence.
Li Tan waited for them to answer, looked up at Miao Jinqing, smiled and said: "Miao Shilang came up with a question at will, and dare not say anything else. I have covered all the books in the world."
Miao Jinqing was frightened by Li Tan's self-confidence, and Zhang Yi at the side finally found a chance to sneer and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning speaks so loudly."
Li Tan still smiled and said: "My tone is natural because I really read the book, otherwise... Brother Zhang dare to say this sentence?"
Zhang Shimu looked at him, Zhang Yi on the side didn't expect Li Tan to drag his son into the water, but he was a little angry when he saw Zhang Xi's stupidity.
For a while, it seemed that any of the students here was his son, and he would not think so passively now.
After listening to Li Tan's words, Miao Jinqing's mind really became active.
At this moment, he is not only an official of the Ministry of Officials, but also a top student. Seeing the younger top student, he has a competitive heart.
Miao Jinqing couldn't help but want to test whether Li Tan was really as he said, and he had dabbled in many classics and history collections.
However, in order to take care of other students, Miao Jinqing's questions were fairly simple at the beginning, for example, the first question was: On the day of divination, the master crowns Duanxuan, and what to follow.
This is the content in "Yi Li", Li Tan quickly wrote: it is located outside the door, to the west.
Some of the other students could answer well, while others couldn't. After the fifth question, they couldn't answer at all, and could only look at Miao Jinqing with a confused expression.
Li Tan glanced around, threw the pen away and said, "It's still too slow to write, let's ask and answer, if someone can answer it, they can answer it together."
Miao Jinqing glanced at Li Longji silently, and found that Li Longji had no objection, but just looked at Li Tan with concern, and then asked: "Then continue to the next question: the way of heaven and earth, each guards his own place, what's next? "
Li Tan didn't pause: "The top and bottom are not connected, not the rule of humanity. This sentence comes from the second volume of "Zi Xia Yi Zhuan" Kun Xia Gan Shang."
Students:? ? ? ? ?Easy to learn all exams?
Miao Jinqing seemed to be competing with Li Tan, and asked again: "The administrator, the place of deployment, is like Cao Bureau, what's next?"
Li Tan replied: "Today's Si Nong is the same as the various offices of the Taifu, and the Lang office is not the ear of Cao Ju of Lang Guan... Even if Han Han belongs to the literature, it is too far away to make such an idea. This passage comes from Langya It was written by Yan Shigu, the county magistrate, in the fifth volume of "Kuang absurd Zhengsu".
Miao Jinqing became even more curious, and asked again: "Wu envoy Zixu to rescue Cai, punish Jiang Chu, and what happened next?"
Li Tan replied: "I will not go to the tomb of King Zhiping for a long time, and I want to repay Chu. This sentence comes from Volume [-] of "Yuejueshu"."
Everyone was finally a little convinced after hearing that, they were convinced by Miao Jinqing, and they were also a little convinced by Li Tan.
And Li Tan looked at Miao Jinqing with complicated eyes, feeling that a beautiful woman is a thief. After all, you are so knowledgeable that you have become a servant of the official department, so why do you still do this kind of thing of relying on others?
If this matter had not been exposed, then he might have more opportunities in the future, but now... this almost ruined his future.
Miao Jinqing looked at Li Tan and took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness has studied extensively, and I am convinced."
After finishing speaking, he retreated to the side sadly, but at this time Song Yao said curiously: "I am not as good as Miao Shilang in the study of classics and history, but I am more involved in military books. I wonder if Your Highness has ever studied it?"
Li Tan raised his head, looking a little arrogant: "Yes."
Song Yao didn't mind either, and asked directly: "Abiding by the law and judging, the duty of ministers, what book did it come from?"
"From "Wei Liaozi", the former is an official, and the latter is the inspection of the Ming law, and the master's practice...Officials are divided into civil and military, but the king's second art."
Song Yao asked again: "There are no wise men in a dangerous country, and no good men in a chaotic government. What will happen next?"
Li Tan: "Those who love deeply are eager to seek talents, and those who are happy to be able to support others are generous. It comes from "Su Shu" An Li."
Song Yao looked surprised, and after asking a few more questions, she cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I admire you."
The students sitting behind Li Tan were dumbfounded now, and they kept saying one sentence back and forth in their minds: Is this still a human being?
The two big bosses of the official department have already retreated!
These two people have always been praised as well-read people, so many words and phrases that are so remote that they have never heard of them are not embarrassing to His Highness King Ning, are they really human?
If Concubine Yang was here, she might answer them: Of course not a human being, this one is a god.
It's a pity that Yang Guifei was not there, and Miao Jinqing and Song Yao retreated one after another, even Li Longji's interest was seduced.
As an emperor, it is difficult to judge whether Li Longji's various policies in his later years were right or not, but his literary accomplishment is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Li Longji couldn't help but also asked a few casually, and Li Tan naturally responded fluently.
Li Longji smiled and said, "That's right, how could Lang 31 even read such an uncommon book?"
Li Tan is a little proud, how can he teach people if he doesn't read much?Don't forget, he needs a master and apprentice to cheat him!
Of course, this reason cannot be said, so he had no choice but to say: "As long as it is a book, it has its own meaning. Only by taking the essence and discarding the dross can you become a great talent. Can you understand the book of sages by yourself?"
Li Longji couldn't help pointing at him and said, "You, can you still recite it backwards?"
Li Tan: ...
He was really just talking, but he was too successful just now, and now everyone looked at him as if he could really recite it backwards, so he could only nod under the pressure and said: "Yes, some books can be recited backwards. of."
Li Longji asked, "Oh? What book?"
Li Tan said calmly: "The Analects of Confucius, The Great Learning, and The Doctrine of the Mean are all acceptable."
Li Longji slapped the case and said: "Recite it, if you can't recite it, I will cut you off!"
Li Tan turned on the system full of black lines. Really, when he answered the questions just now, he answered them all by himself. At that time, he was quite complacent and felt that he was very good, but he turned his head and boasted, and he still had to open the system. Cheating.
This makes people uncomfortable.
So Li Tan recited the three books, "The Analects", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "University" in one breath.
After reciting, everyone present, including Zhang Yi, had only one thought: this person is probably really not human.
Li Linfu stared at Li Tan even thinking, why didn't he notice when King Ning was in the East Palace?
Could it be that the crown prince protected him too well?
After all, as a staunch anti-prince, Li Linfu may have a deeper understanding of the East Palace than his own family.
But just like this, he didn't know that Li Tan had this kind of ability before. When he thought of this, Li Linfu couldn't help being a little startled. Li Tan is so favored now, he is naturally part of the prince's party. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to move it down.
Li Linfu was better, after all, he just realized that there would be another enemy in the future.
However, this enemy has not posed any threat to him now, so he is still in a stable mood now.
However, the mood of the other people in the main hall was not so stable. Wang Jijiu felt that he was about to feel elated.
Zhang Yi and Zhang Xun knew that they had suffered a crushing defeat today, Song Yao and Miao Jinqing knew that they would definitely be dealt with, and all the students felt that life was hopeless—they would not be able to serve in the future.
No matter how ignorant and incompetent they are, as family officials, the education they have received since childhood is for the purpose of becoming officials in the future, regardless of whether they are big or small, they always want to be officials.
But now the purpose of life is gone!
For a while there were quite a few who cried bitterly on the spot, but Zhang Xi was better in comparison. He didn't cry, but his whole body was numb, and he sat there like a statue.
Song Yao and Miao Jinqing looked at each other, knelt down and said, "I'm guilty!"
Things have come to this point, don't say anything, please forgive me.
Even Li Linfu knelt down and said, "I am guilty."
Zhang Yi had no choice but to pull his son to kneel down. All of a sudden, except for Gao Lishi Li Tan and Wang Jijiu, everyone else in the hall fell to their knees.
Li Longji was originally happy. No matter who he was, he would be very proud when he found out that his descendants were the best among their peers.
However, this joy did not last long before it was ruined by these people's pleadings.
Li Longji just remembered that they called these people here to investigate the election fraud case.
In fact, there was indeed fraud in the election, his face darkened, and he said with a cold snort: "This matter has little to do with brother slave, but because brother slave has delegated power too much, let's fine half a year's salary."
Li Linfu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Saint."
Li Longji looked around and said: "Others, leave it to the discretion of the three provinces!"
Zhang Yi's body trembled, just now Li Longji personally punished Li Linfu, that is, picked him out, and they handed over to the three provinces to deal with, so they had to go through a serious process.
"Tang Laws and Discussions" has mentioned the judgments on such things as fraud, and it seems that none of them will be spared this time.
Seeing the gloomy clouds above the main hall, Li Tan said, "Father, just now my son was young and energetic, so he gambled with all his classmates once, but now thinking about it, it is a bit wrong. As the saying goes, knowing a mistake can make a big difference, because once I feel a little uneasy when I think about it, so how about this...if these people can pass the election seriously in the future, they will still be recruited, if they can't, they will not be allowed to become officials, and they will not be allowed to be recommended?"
Li Longji was also somewhat entangled. No one thought that Li Tan could win the bet just now. At that time, Li Longji was already prepared. Even if Li Tan wanted to demote himself as the county king, he would also give Li Tan the closure of the household.
If it is sealed there, Li Tan's treatment will not drop too much. Except that he is not as good as the prince in some places, it will not make him too uncomfortable.
However, no one expected Li Tan to be so good at fighting, and it would be a headache to win. Some of these students are from good family backgrounds.
Li Longji was not worried that they would not be able to become officials, but only worried that Li Tan would be sad in the future if he offended so many people at once.
But I didn't expect that Li Tan was not stupid, he didn't say that the bet was void, but from what he said, the bet was not strictly enforced.
The students really thought that they were hopeless in this life, but they didn't expect that there would be a day when they would be able to become officials.
As for the requirement to study, to be honest, most of them have basically come to their senses after being hanged and beaten by their peers... no, people younger than them.
Li Tan, as the other party to the bet, proposed this method on his own initiative, and Li Longji would naturally agree. He nodded and said, "Just as 31 Lang said, did you all hear clearly?"
All the students were grateful, and finally walked out with each other's support - after all, after experiencing the ups and downs of this day, the exhaustion in the heart is more painful than the exhaustion in the body.
But before they left, they all looked at Li Tan gratefully, and didn't remember the fact that Li Tan beat them up.
Of course, strictly speaking, there is no way to hold grudges. When there is too much difference, apart from looking up at the back of others and admiring, there seems to be no other emotions.
Li Tan also heaved a sigh of relief.
Then he regretted why he didn't go with everyone, because Li Longji turned on his blue cat naughty three thousand questions mode, Li Tan listened to Li Longji asking him where he read the books, how he memorized them, and whether he could read them Don't forget, the whole person is broken.
It would be great if he could have a photographic memory. Does he still need to read books every day?
If people don't go to Guozixue, it's equivalent to graduation. Reading books is no longer to cope with exams, but to enrich themselves. Only he is struggling, like a senior high school student, reading and memorizing every day.
A little bit of spare time is devoted to the reading system, and what's even more cheating is that he hasn't increased his master-apprentice value after studying by himself, so there's no reason for it.
Seeing that Li Longji even started to discuss his study method, and wanted to let other princes and grandsons learn it, Li Tan quickly changed the subject: "Father, in fact, I am not really impulsive today, but some aristocratic families and noble children are now Really not, do you still remember Zhu Xieli?"
Li Longji turned his attention away from studying and learning methods, turned to look at Li Tan and asked, "Zhu Xieli? The son of Yongshou County King? What's wrong?"
Now when he hears the word Zhu Xie, he thinks of Zhu Xie's loyalty. Although Zhu Xie is dead, he is still unhappy.
Li Tan said: "The last time Zhu Xieli clashed with other students of Guozixue, why? Isn't it that they are inferior in civil and martial arts? They all mocked him as a barbarian, but I didn't say that this barbarian worked harder than them. If they work too hard, no matter whether it is a ten-day test or a major test, they will fail others, which is really not good."
As soon as Li Longji heard it, he recalled the incident last time, and couldn't help asking: "Can't you pass the exam? Neither can your nephews?"
Li Tan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, his nephews should refer to his brothers and cousins back then.
He was silent for a while and said, "It's also... not as good."
So Li Longji became angry. He felt that his child must not have worked hard if he failed the exam. As for talent...he would not admit that his children and grandchildren were not talented enough.
Seeing that Li Longji began to think of ways to urge his children and grandchildren to study hard again, Li Tan couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
I feel sorry for everyone, because he alone brought down the entire royal family.
Li Longji was only angry for a moment. Although under the pressure of Zhu Xieli, the royal family lost a bit miserably, isn't there still a Li Tan?
He believed that Zhu Xieli must be inferior to Li Tan.
Li Tan felt a lot about Alexander for Li Longji's trust. After all, if he didn't use the system to cheat, he would probably fail Zhu Xieli in the exam.
After all, the Guozixue exam is not just about endorsement.
After Li Longji encouraged Li Tan to turn around, he took him to have dinner with Concubine Yang.
After finally getting through this day, Li Tan felt exhausted when he returned to the palace.
As a result, as soon as he sat down to take a rest and eat some supper before going to bed, the concierge reported that An Lushan was coming to visit.
Holding the snack in his hand, Li Tan hated that there was no curfew system in the workshop. It would be great if there was a curfew, so that An Lushan would not come to him so late at night!
However, why did An Lushan come this time?
While Li Tan was wondering, he asked An Lushan to be invited over.
When An Lushan entered the door, the first thing Li Tan noticed was the big witch An Lifan who was following him.
To be honest, Li Tan has always felt that the so-called great witch should just be a product of the worship of theocracy in this era.
And the habit of the land of China since ancient times is, I believe in you, and you have to give me corresponding rewards.
If I don't get something in return, then I'm sorry, I don't believe you anymore.
Not only did they not believe it, but they even smashed the statues of gods.
And this big witch might just be someone An Lushan used to fool his subordinates or comfort himself. However, after realizing that An Lushan always brought An Lifan with him wherever he went, Li Tan finally realized something was wrong.
This kind of emphasis seems to be more than just superstition.
Li Tan looked at An Lushan and asked, "It's getting late, is there something important for brother Yi to come to the door suddenly?"
An Lushan didn't seem to have heard Li Tan's words, and he was always faintly dissatisfied, and asked directly: "There is indeed something I want to ask brother."
Li Tan asked: "What?"
An Lushan then said: "I heard two days ago that there seemed to be fraud in the election, and I wanted to report it to my dad for a thorough investigation, but today I heard that Zhang Yi was demoted to be the prefect of Huaiyang, Song Yao was He was demoted to be the prefect of Wudang, Miao Jinqing was demoted to be the prefect of Ankang, and the same examiner, the judge of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Yu, etc., were all demoted to Lingnan officials, and even the king of Guangping was implicated, but because of the fraud in the election?"
Li Tan's first reaction after hearing this was that the news from An Lushan came very quickly, the second was that the sentence from the three provinces was also very fast this time, and the third was... It seemed that Li Chu had been tricked by accident.
He sorted out his thoughts and said: "If all the judges who are selected are dealt with, then it is indeed related to this matter."
An Lushan asked: "Oh, there is indeed fraud? Who is so bold?"
Li Tan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Brother, didn't you ask the question knowingly? Anyone who is bold will be sentenced."
An Lushan: ...
Did he mean to ask this?He wanted to know the whole process. It was a pity that An Lushan did not participate in such an important matter.
He originally wanted to use this matter to win the favor of the students of the Imperial College, but he never expected that he would never have the chance to make a move.
As for An Lushan's seemingly gossiping question, but he didn't know the purpose of asking, Li Yanliang was surprised. He was very perfunctory, and just briefly described what happened.
As for how he hanged and beat the students, he didn't go into details. Of course, he didn't want to hide himself, and there is no way to hide it. It is estimated that after today, there may be rumors in Chang'an that he is a school bully.
He just felt that... the words he said about this kind of thing had a feeling of boasting, and he was a little obedient.
However, An Lushan was able to basically restore what happened through simple narration. He smiled and said, "My brother is very knowledgeable, and I admire him very much."
Li Tan laughed and said, "After all, I don't have anything to do now, so I naturally have a lot of time to study. Brother, as an important official in the court, he has countless official duties to do every day, so I can't match them."
An Lushan got the answer he wanted, stood up and said: "It's getting late, I don't want to bother brother, brother, let's go to bed earlier."
Li Tan couldn't help but slander: If you hadn't come, I would have rested long ago.
However, he still got up and prepared to send An Lushan out, but when An Lushan had already stepped out of the gate, the big witch An Lifan who had been quietly following him suddenly turned his head and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's a good idea."
Li Tan was taken aback: "What?"
An Lifan said: "I thought that no one else in the world could steal luck, but now it seems that I was wrong. This is my token. Your Highness, please keep it. If your Highness wants to, use this Just contact me as a token."
While talking, he stuffed a bell into Li Tan's hand, and then left quickly without giving Li Tan a chance to react.
Li Tan held the bell in his hand, but he didn't react for a while.
By the time he realized it, An Lifan had already left.
He frowned and returned to the palace. After washing, he played with the bell in his hand and asked Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, what does An Lifan mean by stealing luck? This bell seems to be empty. How can I use it?"
Zhi Yi took the bell and hugged it in his arms and studied it for a while, finally gave up and said: "I don't know, this bell should have a special mark on it, but it may be just the simplest token, you let someone take it to go Just date him."
Li Tan was stunned for a moment before he realized that An Lifan would not appear immediately after using it.
He was really fooled by the word "great witch".
However, what did An Lifan mean by stealing luck?
He didn't steal An Lushan's luck, if he could steal luck, he would definitely steal all the luck from An Lushan, so as not to cause any chaos in Anshi.
Zhi Yi was also a little strange: "What did you do that affected him?"
Li Tan thought about it, the only thing he did today was to expose the election fraud, could it be...
With a thought in his mind, he couldn't help but open the history books in the reading system to check. Sure enough, someone found An Lushan in this fraud case in a detour.
An Lushan only reported it when he ran to Li Longji to file a complaint. At that time, people gave this incident a term "Zhang Shiyebai".
Originally, An Lushan probably gained a wave of favorability through this incident, not only from the students, but also from Li Longji.
But now this matter was directly intercepted by Li Tan, no wonder An Lifan felt that he had stolen An Lushan's luck.
But what was An Lifan looking for him for?Could it be that you think everyone can steal luck, so you want to exchange and discuss it?
To Li Tan's question, Zhi Yi's answer was very simple and rude: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Li Tan: What do I need you for?
He said angrily: "You are probably the most useless system in the world!"
He was not happy when he said that, Zhiyi also wanted to give an answer for Li Tan to prove.
In the end, after much deliberation, there was nothing to do, so it had no choice but to say: "Go and find it in the book, I'm just a customer service, I don't know anything!"
Li Tan: I really believed in your evil.
He also wanted to look for it in the books, but because things like Dawu are special products of ethnic minorities, there are very few records in the books, and even if there are, they are vague.
After much deliberation, Li Tan turned around and went to Zhu Xieli.
After all, strictly speaking, Zhu Xieli and his tribe are also Turks.
"Big witch?" Zhu Xieli was taken aback for a moment, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
After Li Tan narrated what happened to An Lifan, he looked at Zhu Xieli with hope.
Zhu Xieli was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, cleared his throat and said: "Great witch... It has been a long time since there has been a great witch in our clan."
Li Tan was slightly taken aback: "Why?"
Zhu Xieli explained: "Great witches are not chosen by humans, but by gods. They must be able to communicate with gods to become great witches. Ordinary witches can only sense gods, but cannot communicate."
Speaking of this, he was also a little helpless: "Since the last great witch passed away, there have been no children with great witch qualifications for ten years, not only our other tribes, but also An Lushan...where did he find the great witch?"
After hearing this, Li Tan immediately asked: "Before this, there were no great witches in the tribes of Anlu Mountain?"
Zhu Xieli nodded slowly: "That's right, so there is something wrong with this so-called great witch."
Once a child with great witch qualifications is found, he will be taken away and cultivated. It is impossible for a child to be discovered after becoming an adult.
As soon as Li Tan heard that there was a problem, he immediately said, "I'll ask him to come out and meet!"
Zhu Xieli: "I'll go with you."
Li Tan hesitated for a while and didn't object. The main reason was that he didn't have much attack power, so it was more at ease to bring a strong output.
He sent someone to find An Lifan with the bell, and made an appointment to meet at Zhu Xieli's villa.
Li Tan was originally worried that An Lifan would not want to see Zhu Xieli if he was around.
Unexpectedly, An Lifan happily agreed to Li Tan's invitation.
When An Lifan came, he was alone, without any entourage by his side.
However, the more he was like this, the more uneasy Li Tan felt. He turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xieli, and then he felt a little more at ease.
Sensing his gaze, Zhu Xieli said, "Don't worry, the big witch is not as powerful as you imagined."
Just as Li Tan was about to say something, An Lifan followed his servants and was led to the garden.
At this time, even if Li Tan had no idea, he still had to pretend to be calm, so that the other party couldn't see his flaws.
And Zhu Xieli took a step back to protect him, his eyes fixed on An Lifan.
He said it lightly just now, but he was still worried that An Lifan would be unfavorable to Li Tan.
For this reason, he even deployed dozens of crossbowmen around Zhuangzi.
Li Tan looked at An Lifan and asked indifferently: "The great witch has a private appointment, what's the matter?"
An Lifan glanced at Zhu Xieli, for some reason Li Tan could see joy on his face.
Suddenly he was a little worried, could An Lifan's fundamental goal be Zhu Xieli?
Give him the bell just to use him to lure Zhu Xieli?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Tan couldn't help but his face darkened. Just as he was about to say something, he saw An Lifan bowing to him and performing the great gift of the Turkic clan.
At the same time, An Lifan also said in his mouth: "An Lifan is willing to worship His Royal Highness King Ning as his teacher, and I implore His Highness to accept me as an apprentice."
Li Tan: What the hell? ? ? ?
