Chapter 94: Sweaty Pony
"Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, think that Your Majesty should deal with these old guys severely. As a civil servant, he can't even guess a lantern riddle, which blinds them to the daily history collection." Cheng Yaojin walked out knowingly. , siding with the emperor.
"Lao Cheng is right, Your Majesty, there is a division of labor between civil and military forces, and guessing lantern riddles is the business of their civil servants!" Qin Qiong also walked over and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I have spent my life as a soldier. I am a military general, not a civil servant. It is none of my business!" Li Xiaogong left the ranks of civil servants and turned around and ran to the ranks of military generals.
"Bah, shameless!" Fang Xuanling and others spat inwardly, secretly scolding Li Xiaogong for being shameless!
He is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a serious civil servant!
"I think you won't be able to solve this lantern riddle today!" Li Shimin sat on the dragon couch and sighed.
"The imperial examination system will be reformed today. After retiring from the court, the six ministers, left and right servants, all came to the imperial study room to discuss the reform." Li Shimin said slowly.
"Yes!" Everyone responded.
At this time, if anyone dares to take the lead and oppose the emperor, they will most likely be killed.
Hearing everyone's response, Li Shimin felt better.
He secretly said that although he was arranged like that by Zhao Chen, with his help, he successfully persuaded everyone to agree to the reform of the imperial examination system.
Thinking about it, Li Shimin was still a little excited.
If Datang can get better and better, even if it is arranged by Zhao Chen every day, it will be nothing!
However, thinking that Zhao Chen openly said that his IQ was insufficient and secretly scolded him for not understanding, Li Shimin's anger suddenly rose again!
"Your Majesty, I am so ignorant that I still cannot solve this riddle. Please help me solve the puzzle for you!" Fang Xuanling was still curious as to what the answer to this riddle was.
The others also looked at Li Shimin, waiting for his answer.
Some people were even wondering whether His Majesty the Emperor had chosen a random topic.
There is no answer to this lantern riddle at all.
What about the case?
"Rong is four years old, not very old."
"Reng Li is not very old, but he is also sensible."
"You wait, but you keep letting me down!"
"That's it for today's meeting!"
Li Shimin said a few words, waved his hand, and turned around to leave Tai Chi Hall.
"Not big... sensible?" Fang Xuanling murmured.
"Prime Minister, you are really not sensible, you insist on confronting His Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin came over, patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
"I guess your Majesty has long wanted to tell you that he is not very sensible. Fortunately, I am also a military commander!" Li Xiaogong stroked his beard with a smile on his face.
"Shameless old man!" Fang Xuanling spat, turned and left.
…
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, in the court today, has made up his mind to reform the imperial examination system!"
"The power of the family will soon be weakened!"
In the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian and said slowly.
Changsun Wuji was also a little helpless. He thought that Li Chengqian's position would be stable with the help of the Taiyuan Wang family.
Who would have thought that in the literary contest at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Wang Ji would lose to a man from the well of Chang'an City who appeared out of nowhere.
Today in the court, the emperor didn't know where he got a lantern riddle that made all the ministers in the court confused.
Changsun Wuji knew that the emperor had done this on purpose, and he was taking this opportunity to make it impossible for them to oppose the reform of the imperial examination system.
"Uncle, the master behind my father has been giving advice to my father, but he has been ruining the important affairs of this palace!" Li Chengqian said to Changsun Wuji with a gloomy expression.
This is not the first time.
This has been the case from the very beginning of salt and iron transfer.
Every time Li Chengqian thought of a way to consolidate his position, he would be screwed up by the masters behind the emperor.
"Your Highness, the number of talents around us is somewhat lacking. There are not many people who can make suggestions for His Highness!"
"I heard that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, someone guessed ten lantern riddles correctly in a row at the Lantern Riddle House in Chang'an City and took away the lanterns that no one had taken away for eight years." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian and said slowly.
"I have also heard about the person my uncle mentioned. I heard that he is just a young man, but he is also very talented. He can actually answer ten lantern riddles in a row."
"Uncle, do you want me to invite this person to the East Palace?" Li Chengqian asked.
He naturally knew the person Changsun Wuji was talking about.
Before, Li Chengqian sent people to find the master, but he only knew that this man was a young man who was not in a hurry.
The boy who correctly guesses ten lantern riddles in a row during the Mid-Autumn Festival will naturally attract Li Chengqian's attention.
But, so what if you can guess lantern riddles?
The political affairs of the Tang Dynasty were not solved by guessing lantern riddles.
Li Chengqian didn't believe how a guy who could only guess lantern riddles could help him!
"Your Majesty, please don't underestimate this person. Your Majesty and I met that person by chance half a month ago. The calligraphy that His Majesty showed to the ministers in the Taiji Palace was written by that person."
"This person may not be what Your Majesty calls an expert, but he must have some literary talents. If he can be recruited by His Majesty the Crown Prince..." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian and said slowly.
"Since my uncle said so, I will send Du He to recruit him into the East Palace." Li Chengqian waved his hand nonchalantly and said.
Changsun Wuji originally wanted Li Chengqian to go in person.
But after thinking about it, I felt that Li Chengqian
As a prince, there is absolutely no need to recruit an unknown person!
…
"Zhao Chen, have you been selling saltpeter these days?" Li Ruoshuang came to the tavern and looked at Zhao Chen with a smile on his face.
Li Ruoshuang was very happy when she received the lantern given to her by Zhao Chen the day before yesterday, thinking that she could not take Zhao Chen's gift in vain.
Today she is here to return the favor!
"Miss Ruoshuang, what are you..." Zhao Chen walked out of the tavern and saw Li Ruoshuang standing at the door, holding a maroon pony in his hand.
This little pony is blood red all over and has strong limbs.
It is obviously a hard-earned BMW.
"I received your gift the day before yesterday. I thought I couldn't take advantage of you in vain, so I wanted to give you a horse."
"If you want to go out, you can ride this little pony. Although it looks young, it can still carry you without any problem." Li Ruoshuang said to Zhao Chen with a smile.
"But Miss Ruoshuang, you gave me a bloody BMW, it's too expensive!" Zhao Chen waved his hand.
What is a broken lantern worth?
But even if this bloody horse has not grown up yet, if it is really sold for money, it will not be able to get hundreds of dollars.
Moreover, it has a price but no market.
In Chang'an City, you can count the number of bloody horses on one hand.
"Zhao Chen, you can tell!" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen in surprise.
This sweaty BMW foal was brought back to her from the front line by Li Jing.
It can be seen that Li Jing loves Li Ruoshuang.
Li Ruoshuang herself couldn't put it down and couldn't even bear to ride it on weekdays.
But thinking about Zhao Chen's weak body, it would be much easier if he could have a pony to take him when he went out in the future.
In addition, she had just taken Zhao Chen's lantern, so Li Ruoshuang wanted to return the favor to him.
