As Zhang Qian said that, he returned to Li Shimin to report.

Li Shimin was watching the memorial, but Zhang Qian didn't dare to disturb him, so he stood quietly aside.

In his busy schedule, Li Shimin raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Qian. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding. He said lightly: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Qian lowered his eyebrows and said with pleasure: "Wu Youjing, I have ordered someone to invite him, and I will enter the palace to meet His Majesty the next day."

"Oh." Li Shimin didn't take this too seriously. This was just a trivial matter for Li Shimin, as the emperor.

However, Zhang Qian suddenly mentioned it, and Li Shimin said, "I heard that this person is very famous now."

"Yes." Zhang Qianxiao said: "The same is true for Baiqi. It is said that many aristocratic races have had a close relationship with him, saying that he is knowledgeable and has high moral character, and people are eager to him."

Li Shimin only smiled faintly: "How can we tell whether the moral character is good or bad?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial court once conquered him, but he refused to accept it. In the eyes of people at that time, it naturally became a disrespect for fame and fortune. Many people said that he was a real famous scholar." Zhang Qianwei said.

When Li Shimin heard this, his face looked slightly strange.

Obviously, as the emperor, I don’t like this kind of atmosphere very much.

You have talented people after you have studied, and the court wants to use you, but you refuse to accept it or become an official. As a result, everyone praises this. What is this?

Once such a trend spreads, those who study will refuse to enter the court, so who will govern the world for the king and father?

If such people can be praised by people, then wouldn’t those who seek fame and reputation be just right to use this to gain fame?

Li Shimin said lightly: "Can this be called moral noble? I thought that the so-called great virtue should be to report to the country and to protect the people, just like Fang Qing and Zheng Tai."

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "I think so too, but... in the end, people in the world can't see clearly. They often regard this as a model for those who are not good at birth and refuse to enter the officialdom because they have some ink in their hearts."

"This wind cannot last." Li Shimin said extremely calmly: "The style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties is actually a misleading country and the people. What I, the Tang Dynasty, wanted was talents who contributed to the world and benefited the people, not such talkative people."

"Since that's the case, then will you still invite him to the palace?" Zhang Qian looked at Li Shimin carefully.

Li Shimin did not hesitate and said, "I have invited you all, why do you have to break your promise and become fat? The last time I saw him, I had never had any dealings with him. Since that's the case, let's see what kind of talent this person has."

Zhang Qian nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhang Qian knew very well that he had planted a seed in Li Shimin's heart, and then, he would wait for this seed to take root and sprout.

He has been with His Majesty for a long time. He knows His Majesty's character. He should not say too much at this time. What a smart person His Majesty is. Once he says too much, it will make him seem to be talking badly, which will be counterproductive!

Two more days later, the day for the results was finally here.

At this time, it is highly anticipated.

Chen Zhengtai attached great importance to this big exam and wanted to follow the students to watch the list.

Who knew that he was taken away by the palace? He couldn't help but feel regretful. It seemed that His Majesty was looking forward to it too!

Therefore, he carefully set up a banquet in Tai Chi Hall, and was waiting for the results of the announcement.

So early in the morning, when the genius was in a daze, Chen Zhengtai wore a court suit and boarded the carriage.

This carriage is two-wheeled, after all... before delivering the twenty four-wheeled carriages to the palace, it's better not to ride in the four-wheeled carriage. It's so silly!

So I rush into the palace with pain all the way, and many ministers had already come in front of the palace gate.

Everyone ignored him as usual, but Fang Xuanling greeted Chen Zhengtai kindly.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji also came up and lowered his voice, "Is Chong'er okay in school these days? I don't know how his studies are now?"

Changsun Wuji was full of expectations. His son was already a scholar. If he could pass the imperial examination, he would be at ease as a father!

With the identity of a juren and the family background of the Changsun family, he has a bright future. Originally, he didn't have much expectations for Changsun Chong, but he just hoped that he would not lose his family and be grateful! But now that he has hope in his heart, his whole person is different.

In this big exam, Changsun Wuji couldn't sleep every day, waiting for the results to be released, hoping that his son would be on the list.

Fang Xuanling was different, and Fang Xuanling was even more calm, but now Changsun Wuji asked, he couldn't help but prick up his ears, wanting to see what Chen Zhengtai said.

Chen Zhengtai had to say with an awkward look: "This, this... Changsun Chong is also in school? Oh, I almost forgot."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

This is a bit heartless. I had a fight a few days ago! Turning around, you forgot about it?

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said, "Don't worry, when you enter the university, you will be abide by yourself, let alone study, just wait for the results to be released later. I, Chen Zhengtai, are not bragging, everyone in the university is full of talents..."

Changsun Wuji felt that these words were not nutritious and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Fang Xuanling thought to himself, Chen Zhengtai said this, was it because he deliberately wanted to say that he treated the students in the school equally, and would not be particularly favored just because he was the son of the Fang family or the son of the Changsun family.

There may not be no benefit in studying in this way. His son, even if he is spoiled at home on weekdays, only Chen Zhengtai's academic performance can make people become successful.

He couldn't help but say in his heart that Chen Zhengtai really has a trick.

Fang Xuanling then smiled and looked at Chen Zhengtai, looking like I knew.

This made Chen Zhengtai a little monk confused. Why did Fang Gong give him such a look?

…………

And at this time, Wu Youjing had arrived.

But... to everyone's surprise, Wu Youjing was actually wearing a mourning dress.

It is very unlucky to enter the palace with mourning clothes.

But Wu Youjing looked completely as if no one else was around.

Many people have long admired Wu Youjing's name and greeted each other.

Wu Youjing smiled and had a cordial conversation with him.

The Minister of Rites Dou Lukuan and him had an old relationship. After a while, Dou Lukuan said worriedly: "Is anyone in Brother Wu's family dead?"

Wu Youjing sighed quietly: "It's not that someone in my family passed away, but that Wu was mourning for the world's cultural context."

Dou Lukuan was shocked when he heard this.

He couldn't help but admire Wu Youjing.

Mr. Wu's words seemed very wonderful, but they were quite a bit like the style of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.

Moreover, he dares to say that such mourning clothes are enough to enter the palace to meet with him, just based on his behavior today, to enter the history books.

This is the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

But as a minister, when encountering such a thing, he still needs to take some risk, so he smiled slightly and did not continue to ask.

However, the others were already talking, and couldn't help but look at Wu Youjing, feeling that this person was very energetic, looking at him with a spirit, and he was fascinated in his heart.

Chen Zhengtai wanted to roll his eyes at this person's behavior, and he was too lazy to pay attention to such a lunatic. To be honest, he was well-educated. Otherwise, he would have to beat him when he saw this dog.

At this time, the palace gate finally opened and all the ministers entered the palace one after another.

Silently all the way to Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin has been here for a long time and has been waiting for the exam today. He wants to show the mentality of the king and his subjects to enjoy themselves and release the exam together.

This is how I value this great ceremony.

When the ministers came in one after another, they saw someone wearing mourning clothes. Li Shimin became hard and felt as if he had lost his breath all of a sudden.

“…”

But I saw the man in mourning clothes, with his every move and gesture, as he looked free and easy.

So Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Qian, with a reproach on his face, as if he was saying, Why should such a person be put into the palace?

Zhang Qianze lowered his head and did not dare to show off.

Treat all the ministers with politeness.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on the man in mourning again.

"Who are you?"

"The grass man Wu Youjing." Wu Youjing came out with a sigh.

It turned out to be Wu Youjing.

The last time I met Wu Youjing, Wu Youjing was beaten so much that he didn't even recognize his biological mother. Now... she completely changed her appearance.

Li Shimin was even more displeased and said lightly: "Someone in your family died of illness?"

“Not there.”

Li Shimin's face became even colder: "If no one died of illness, why should he wear mourning clothes?"

"The grass people are mourning." Wu Youjing said calmly.

"What are you mourning?" Li Shimin asked with a frown.

"I mourn my Tang Dynasty, but there are no more scholars, only a group of parrots and opportunists."

When Li Shimin heard this, his face suddenly became tense and he couldn't help but become furious.

Fortunately, Li Shimin was able to tolerate it in front of all officials.

But at this moment, the officials were in an uproar.

They had obviously heard the implicit sound in this sentence.
