People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 968 Encountering the Tang Envoy Again

After the spring rain passed, the court promulgated Li Shimin's will, and the imperial examination will officially start in May this year.

Now March in Yangchun has just arrived, and there are only two months left before the imperial examinations start.

The weather in March in Yangchun is very comfortable, and the whole village of Jingyang seems to be full of greenery.

The soldiers and horses practicing around Jingyang still haven't withdrawn. Li Zheng is eating pancakes and fruits made by himself, and Jingyang has another guest.

Li Yifu brought Fang Xuanling and his party and said: "Chang'an Order, people have arrived."

Li Zheng finished eating the pancake in his hand and said, "Mr. Fang."

Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded, "Long time no see."

Li Zheng said with emotion: "I don't like going out very much."

Fang Xuanling glanced at the people behind him and said: "These people are the Tang Dynasty envoys from the Wa country to our Tang Dynasty, and they are here to meet Chang'an Ling."

After hearing Fang Xuanling's introduction, and seeing Li Zhengman's indifferent appearance, a person from the Japanese emissary team came out and said: "I am the prince of the Japanese country, Su Woxin."

"Oh." Li Zheng just nodded.

A group of Japanese envoys looked at Li Zheng's indifferent attitude for a while.

Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said: "Originally it was the Ministry of Rites's job to receive the envoys from Tang Dynasty here, but today there are many envoys from various countries coming to Chang'an, and I happened to have something to ask you, so I brought them here."

Facing Fang Xuanling and Li Zheng, he still saluted respectfully, "Mr. Fang, please speak."

Fang Xuanling said: "Now that the imperial examination is coming soon, in fact, His Majesty also likes that children from Jingyang can participate in the imperial examination."

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "Our children from Jingyang don't know how to be an official, so how can we go."

Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "At first, no one knew how to be an official."

Li Zheng took a sip of hot tea and said: "Our Jingyang Academy started teaching children not to let these children become officials."

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a while and then said: "I know what you mean, but children like Di Renjie, Daniel, and Pei Xingjian do have the potential to be officials, and even His Majesty now values ​​them very much."

Sure enough, Li Shimin still took a fancy to these children.

Not surprisingly, Li Zheng said to Fang Xuanling: "The children in our academy are all self-study, and they want to learn whatever they want to learn. As for whether they want to be an official secretary, they can ask in person."

Fang Xuanling looked at the current Li Zheng. The current Li Zheng had grown taller and seemed to be more restrained than before.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xuanling said, "You won't obstruct it?"

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Of course not."

Only then did Fang Xuanling nod, "Okay, I'll go ask them now."

Fang Xuanling left after speaking.

A group of Japanese people were left looking at each other.

Standing at the front was still the prince of the Wa Kingdom, Su Woxin said: "I have been admiring the Chang'an Order for a long time."

Li Zheng said with emotion: "There are many people who have admired me for a long time, and you have seen me now."

Su Woxin, Crown Prince of the Japanese Kingdom, said again: "Actually, this time, I want to hand over the Chang'an Order to a friend."

"Make friends?" Li Zheng sneered, "I don't make friends with Japanese people."

Su Woxin looked puzzled, "Why?"

Li Zheng shouted: "Li Yifu!"

Li Yifu hurried forward, "Chang'an Order, what are your orders?"

Li Zheng said, "Get these Japanese people out of here."

"Here!"

Speaking of which, Li Yifu greeted the villagers to drive these Japanese people away.

Being driven out of the village in embarrassment, Su Woxin was a little unconvinced, "Everyone in the Tang court is polite to me, why is this Li Zheng so rude!"

Hearing these words, Li Yifu sneered, this Japanese man really doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

Just as Li Yifu was about to return to the village, Xu Jingzong came.

Of course Xu Jingzong knew Su Woxin, the prince of the Japanese country, and the current Japanese royal family is the Su Wo family.

Xu Jingzong laughed and said, "Is this the prince of the Wa Kingdom in person?"

Su Woxin saw Xu Jingzong quickly saluted, "Your Excellency is also from Jingyang."

Xu Jingzong didn't intend to answer his words, and said in a low voice: "It looks like you have been kicked out."

There was some anger in Su Woxin's eyes, "Chang'an Ling kicked me out. I didn't expect Chang'an Ling, who is famous in the Central Plains, to be so rude."

Xu Jingzong said to Su Woxin: "Dare to ask your Excellency, what did you say that should not be said?"

Su Woxin recalled the time before and after meeting Li Zheng and said, "I just want to be friends with Chang'an Ling."

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "That's right, Chang'an Ling is a famous figure in the Central Plains, so he can't be friends with envoys from other countries."

Su Woxin was a little puzzled by these words for a while.

At first glance, Su Woxin is the kind of person who is not deeply involved in the world and does not understand the dangers of the world.

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "I don't know if you have heard of other envoys who have had friendship with Chang'an Ling, such as the envoys of Tuyuhun, Turks, or Tubo."

Su Woxin secretly wrote down Xu Jingzong's words.

Xu Jingzong said: "Chang'an Ling did this for your own benefit, and you will know when you go to Chang'an Ling to inquire about it."

Su Woxin nodded and turned to leave.

Li Yifu looked at their backs and said, "Why are you talking so much to them?"

Xu Jingzong said: "I also do it for their own good."

When Fang Xuanling came outside the academy, he happened to see Daniel, Pei Xingjian, and Di Renjie walking together.

Seeing the three of them, Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said, "The three of you are all together, so I won't have to search everywhere."

Daniel looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "I've met Mr. Fang."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "The last time I saw you was before you went to the Western Regions. Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you have grown so tall."

Daniel gave a little salute.

Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie saluted together.

Fang Xuanling said: "The Imperial Examination is about to take place in the imperial court. I came here to ask whether you will participate in the imperial examination."

Daniel, Di Renjie, and Pei Xingjian wanted to take a look, but Pei Xingjian asked, "Are the three of us officials?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Of course you can become an official if you take part in the imperial examination."

Daniel said in a low voice: "We are too young, I am afraid it is not suitable."

Di Renjie also said: "I haven't finished what I should have learned in the academy, so I don't want to be an official now."

Fang Xuanling looked at Pei Xingjian and said: "When you went out with the army, do you think you could enter the Weifu?"

Pei Xingjian hurriedly saluted and said: "I don't know much about the affairs of the army, and at the beginning it was just treating illnesses with the army."

Fang Xuanling withdrew his eyes and said, "So, you don't want to be officials anymore?"

Di Renjie said: "I want to ask Mr. Fang a question. If Mr. Fang can answer correctly, maybe he can understand why we are not officials."

With a panoramic view of the expressions of the three, Fang Xuanling said, "Talk."

Di Renjie said, "An ant has seven legs, how many legs do six hundred ants have?"
