Chapter 76: Bell's House
Li Shimin looked at this guy who loves to make trouble with a little disgusted, and then sighed again: "But no matter what, I know that you are intentional. If you want to copy my poems and essays into your book in the future, you must tell me in advance and don't let me know in the end."
Chen Zhengtai said: "The students just think this poem is very good. It is not only catchy, but also meaningful. It is suitable for all ages and young people. If such a good poem is not included in the text, it will be a great loss for the people of the world. So the students dared to include this poem. The students knew that they were wrong and would never dare to do it again. However, in order to protect the students, the mentor removed Wang Yan's official position, the student..."
Li Shimin was surprisingly calm on his face, and he was not as angry as before. He said in a very calm tone: "This time, the aristocratic family only knows how to shirk responsibility. I have been dissatisfied with it. This time I am just using this to beat them up. Since Wang Yan dares to speak evil in the hall, I will naturally not forgive him."
Li Shimin then smiled and said, "I didn't scare you just now, are you?"
"No...no..." Chen Zhengtai shook his head quickly: "The students only respect and love for their mentors, but not fear."
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile: "It's strange to say that, why do I think it's quite interesting to talk to you? I'm the emperor, alone, alright..."
He sighed: "I have heard that many people have criticized you recently."
"Ah, who is it?" Chen Zhengtai said subconsciously.
Li Shimin comforted the case and said lightly: "It was this imperial examination. You recommended nine juren, you..." He shook his head and wanted to say something. After all, he still felt that this guy gave me so many shares and gave me too much money, so he was not easy to speak.
Chen Zhengtai said with a grievance: "Selecting talents for his mentors is not what students should do, but why has it become a bad thing? Students are not afraid of others' words."
Li Shimin nodded and smiled: "I took this idea, but..."
He paused and couldn't help but want to teach Chen Zhengtai a lesson: "But you should choose the best ones, just like the Ma Qing family. It's better to have nothing than to be too bad. You are my disciple, so you should not make people laugh."
"Students must try to get these nine people to take the imperial examinations for more Jinshi and give their mentor a breath."
I heard that I took a few more exams...
Li Shimin was stunned at first, then smiled. He was originally upset by Wang Yan, but now he felt cheerful after hearing this joke.
If you take a few more exams, it’s so easy to take the Jinshi exam. Wouldn’t my Jinshi exam be useless?
He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I will wait and see. I hope that more candidates you recommend will win. If you can win one, I will give you a reward."
"Take it seriously?" Chen Zhengtai's eyes lit up.
Seeing Chen Zhengtai serious, Li Shimin felt even more funny: "Is what I said fake?"
"If... I'm saying... I'm saying..." Chen Zhengtai coughed: "What if he could win more than three?"
Although Chen Zhengtai was not sure, he got all nine in history.
But there will always be a chance for three. Could it be that nine of them cheated? My buddy wouldn't be so miserable?
When Li Shimin heard three, he was drinking tea and almost choked to death. Chen Zhengtai... was so heartbroken that he said solemnly: "If you can win three, I will let you be the Eastern Palace clan."
Chen Zhengtai was heartbroken, the East Palace... the servant... The prince is very silly recently. He rode his horse around all day long, that is, I, Chen Zhengtai, have no personality and did not report him secretly. At that time, he will become the servant of the East Palace. If this dog breaks his leg, who is it?
Chen Zhengtai felt that the reward was not good, so he said again: "Your Majesty, what if he wins five people?"
He looked at Li Shimin with his eyes straight, like a hungry wild wolf who saw his prey.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "This is impossible, don't be foolish."
Chen Zhengtai looked resentful: "I mean...if..."
"Hmph." Li Shimin said lightly: "If so, I will marry Princess Gaoyang to you."
Chen Zhengtai's face changed in fear.
This Princess Gaoyang is a famous person in history.
Chen Zhengtai hurriedly waved his hand: "I dare not, but I dare not. Students cannot afford to accept it if they have no blessings."
Li Shimin was speechless for a moment.
I knew you didn’t have a chance, so I made a promise that you, Chen Zhengtai, took it seriously.
Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "It might be better if this is the case. If the student is really like this, can you beg your Majesty to give me a military position?"
"Military position, can you ride and shoot?"
"No, it's just... the students' business in Erpigou has many secrets, and I'm afraid that someone will inquire..."
Li Shimin understood and said in his heart that it was the secret of making paper? But I was negligent, that was my money. If you wanted to protect a team of people, you would have said it earlier, why do you have to turn around? It is impossible for five people to win, but you use this to bet on it.
Li Shimin simply nodded: "I'm sure."
"Then..." Chen Zhengtai was a little embarrassed. He really needed a military position now. The Chen family's business had begun to emerge, becoming bigger and bigger. There were no soldiers around him. Chen Zhengtai always felt uneasy. The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of government troops. Once he had the military position, he could recruit government troops in Erpigou by himself. In this way, safety was guaranteed. However, seeing that Li Shimin's approval was so easy, Chen Zhengtai felt guilty: "Make a basis..."
Li Shimin glared at him and shouted, "You are so brave."
"Ah... the students die, and the students are used to doing business." Chen Zhengtai was ashamed for a moment, then thought of something, and added: "Your Majesty's words are like a dragon roar, and it makes people frightened when they hear it. It is indeed worthy of being the true dragon emperor. The demeanor of the Tang Dynasty is hidden in it, which can be said to be shocking for the ages."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Go, go, I won't break my promise. Don't say that you won five of them. Even if you were the juren you recommended, I will be sure, leave quickly."
It's hard to win only one...
Forget it, it’s nothing wrong with him if he wants a military position. I will allow civil and military personnel, and my disciples should be both civil and military personnel. What’s more, this Zishu attracts wind, and Erpigou should be prevented.
In fact, Li Shimin thought it was too much. Three or five of this guys called me, saying that I didn’t take my Jinshi exam seriously and didn’t know where I got the courage.
Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said: "I obey the order."
He hurriedly came out of the palace and felt quite proud. He decided that in the future, there would be no 300 Tang poems in this text, but it would be changed to 300 Tang Emperor poems. Who dares to question my Chen Zhengtai's text, and you will not be able to kill you.
When I returned to the mansion, I saw my third uncle leading a group of people holding swords and scoundrels in the yard.
It scared Chen Zhengtai.
The third uncle held a horizontal knife in his hand and shouted, "It's too much to deceive people. Don't take our Mengjin Chen seriously and impeach my nephew. This is to eliminate our Chen family's life, which is similar to digging our ancestor's tomb. The Taiyuan kings' surnames don't give us a way to live. We will bring weapons to kill the revenge of the kings. If we swallow our anger, we will not be able to gain a foothold in Chang'an in the future, and there will be no one in the Chen family."
With a call, everyone raised their swords and shouted: "Go together."
When Chen Zhengtai appeared, the horizontal knife in his third uncle's hand fell to the ground with a slam. The third uncle trotted over.
"Oh, Zhengtai is back. It's not that you've been impeached. You've been told that you're bad-hearted. When Ma Zhou heard the news, he quickly asked someone to bring the news out."
People from the Tang Dynasty...the atmosphere is really barbaric.
However, this is understandable. After hundreds of years of war, we could not survive by reasoning. Each family and his surname were all twisted into a rope and built a fort. We hid swords and bows and arrows at home. We would start a game with people when we had a disagreement. This trend naturally continued to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Chen family was a little unlucky for the past century, but it was not unreasonable that they could survive.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty adopted the system of government troops. To a certain extent, the martial arts style among the people was very popular. Good families usually farmed, and if they had any problems, they would mount horses as soldiers. They hid swords, guns, swords and halberds at home and raised horses. None of them were easy to provoke.
Chen Zhengtai suddenly felt a little moved. It was indeed a family.
In this era when people are hungry at any time, famine comes at any time, and may suffer disasters at all times, only those who are connected by blood are the most reliable.
Chen Zhengtai said: "Don't worry, my teacher is Emperor Tang, how could he let the next door be bullied by the Wang surname? His teacher has already dealt with him."
After hearing this, the third uncle said happily: "So that's the case, I was shocked. It would be fine if I had nothing to do." He stroked his beard and turned around and shouted: "Hurry, put away the swords and swords. We are a clan who has a family, and we are talking about inheriting poetry and books. Don't shout at the beat and kill every time, as others want to laugh at them."
A group of male Chen family members hid their weapons, and they scattered like birds and beasts.
The third uncle said, "No matter what, the king also bullied us. I must record this matter in my family's story. They are many people now, and when we have successors in our Chen family in the future, we will definitely not forgive them."
Chen Zhengtai said yes repeatedly, and his third uncle wanted to say something, but Chen Zhengtai said he was hungry, so he waved his hand and said, "Go, go."
Seeing that Chen Zhengtai was really gone, the third uncle suddenly felt that he was not very proud. If you really went there, you wouldn't be polite. At least he would be two generations longer than you. Alas... I sighed. I wanted to take the time to have a heart to talk to you and talk about Zhengde. Zhengde is stupid to raise pigs. What's the way out? He is your cousin and a blood relative within three generations.
When he thought about this, he felt depressed and turned around to lift his empty bird cage. The bird in the cage fell to death last time. In order to pay tribute to the deceased bird, he always seemed to be still there. He carried the empty cage around these days and continued the last paragraph of the love between people and birds separated by yin and yang.
