Datang Nongwang

Chapter 738 Longevity Fruit

The annual imperial examination is a big event.

The matter of them recommending their own people as officials is even more important among major events.

But no one thought that Li Shimin would suddenly say that the imperial examination was temporarily put on hold, and they had to ask the right candidates.

Everybody knows.

As long as the question is correct, there is a great possibility that the person they recommend will not be adopted.

Yes.

It's not like it hasn't been there before.

It's just that this kind of situation is extremely rare, and at most it's just asking a few people right.

But now, in addition to reviewing everyone, Li Shimin also had to question everyone, which made the court officials panic.

They are the most clear about their followers.

Among them, there are good ones, and naturally there are bad ones.

Those who sincerely devote themselves to their sect will naturally have their own relatives.

Those who sincerely vote under his sect must have some ability.

And what happened to their relatives, they knew it well.

Not to mention being an official, even being an official is not qualified.

The court officials panicked.

Most of the panicked court officials are civil servants.

But the people on the military commander's side are quite normal.

Also.

The people recommended by generals are much simpler than those recommended by civil servants.

Moreover, if the person recommended by the generals is adopted, the position they hold will not be high, and they need to pass the verification of several major military camps before they can take up the position.

If you really don't have any ability and go to the martial arts department, then you really have nowhere to go.

It's different for people recommended by the civil servants.

For example, once the recommended person is adopted by the imperial court, he will be appointed as an official.

Although his official position does not necessarily have any powers, he is considered a product no matter what.

If he is emphatically recommended, the power of the official he serves may be very powerful, and he may be a county lieutenant.

For example, the post of county lieutenant is a very powerful position.

The things to be dealt with are matters of public order in a county.

With such a bad character and insufficient ability, if he takes office, it will be a disaster.

no way.

At present, there are only a few ways to choose officials.

The unevenness of good and bad is unavoidable, and it cannot be eliminated.

Not to mention the present, even in the modern age after a thousand years, with so many high-tech products and such an advanced system, there are still too many mediocre officials and too many officials with extremely bad character.

What's more, let's not talk about it, readers understand it very well.

Good officials are hard to find.

It can be said that there are very few officials who "establish their hearts for the world, establish their lives for the people, inherit their knowledge for the past, and create peace for all generations."

In the author's words.

Human nature is good.

But in the process of human growth, after being exposed to too many external factors, it will inevitably change from good to evil.

Even if he doesn't become evil, various external factors will wear away the goodness he brought out of his mother's womb, and then he will become an outsider, an ordinary person who tramples on the low and praises the high.

Are there really good people in the world who have not been changed by external factors?
Of course there are.

It's just that it's rare.

Similarly, there are also some rare and rare processes of wicked people turning good, but this kind is even rarer than the rare ones.

Great sages are rare in the world, and great villains have never stopped in the world, and they emerge in endlessly.

This is the world.

The world is complicated, but it is complicated, and it is such a world.

As long as you don't harm others, you are a good person.

Back to the point.

After Wang Li finished speaking, he glanced at the panicked court officials, sneered, and stepped forward to leave the hall.

But just as Wang Li was leaving, Cen Wenwen stopped Wang Li, "Boss Wang, what you said just now really meant what the Holy Majesty meant?"

"Cen Shilang, what do you mean! Are you doubting me! Or are you doubting the will of the Holy One!" Wang Li was not happy.

Cen Wenwen realized that he had asked the wrong question, so he quickly saluted, "Director Wang misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"What does that mean!" Wang Li stared at Cen Wenwen with a smile in his eyes.

Cen Wenwen is not good to say more.

The person in front of him is Li Shimin's spokesperson.

What Wang Li said was what Li Shimin meant.

Dare to question Wang Lilai in front of so many people, isn't that just questioning Li Shimin.

If Li Shimin heard this, it would be fine.

Even if he, Cen Wenwen, is the Minister of Zhongshu, a minister of the third rank, he can't hold back Li Shimin's anger.

Zhongshu Shilang is the adjutant of the Zhongshu Province. Although he is not as good as Zhongshu Ling, the prime minister, in dealing with confidential matters, the importance of his position is self-evident.

and.

Cen Wenwen was indeed highly valued by Li Shimin.

He, Cen Wenwen, stayed in the position of Minister of Zhongshu for eleven or twelve years.

Furthermore, Cen Wenwen is quick-witted, surpassing the previous Zhongshu servant, Yan Shigu. Otherwise, Li Shimin, who had just sat on the throne, would not have been exempted from Yan Shigu's Zhongshu servant. Cen Wen is going to take up this important position.

Of course, Yan Shigu was dismissed not only because of Cen Wenwen's quick thinking, but also because he was caught in something.

And it just so happened that Cen Wenwen was once hired by Liang Emperor Xiao Mian as the Minister of Zhongshu to help him draft proclamations and manage confidential documents.

Therefore, with this foundation, he, Cen Wenben, naturally became the servant of Zhongshu.

But today, he, Cen Wenwen, suddenly asked Wang Lilai in a questioning manner, which made Wang Li unhappy, and at the same time there was a kind of joke in his heart.

Cen Wenwen was able to ask questions in this tone, and Wang Li understood the meaning after thinking about it.

Wang Li, who left the main hall, looked back at the panicked faces of the court officials in the hall, and secretly smiled in his heart, "With your little thoughts, do you really think that the Holy Majesty doesn't know anything?"As soon as His Majesty speaks, you will know that you are panicking.It seems that what the Holy Majesty said is right, if you people don't beat it from time to time, you really think that this world belongs to you.Do whatever you want, if you want to smash a county palace, you can smash a county palace.Just wait, after the Holy Majesty appeases Mrs. Xiangjun, let's see how to deal with you people. '

Wang Li found out who was behind the incident.

After these days of verification, all kinds of news gathered in Wang Li's hands pointed directly at several ministers in the court.

although.

Over the past few days, his Wang Li did not find out that this matter was directly related to these ministers, but all the points were directed at them.

And Li Shimin also stopped the investigation two days ago.

There is nothing to be found in these days, and Li Shimin will not let people investigate any more.

In the evening after Xiaya that day.

All court officials' houses are discussing what happened in the court hall today.

And this time.

Wei Zheng was one of the rare people who didn't go back to his mansion after going down to the Yamen, but got into the carriage and came to the Li family's home.

Wei Zheng came to Li's house again, which made the old lady greet him personally again, "Mr. Zheng Guogong came here, but I am too far away to welcome you. Please forgive me. Zheng Guogong, please come inside."

"Madam Xiangjun, the old man won't go in, just say a few words." Wei Zheng saluted and waved his hand.

The old lady didn't know, "I also ask Zheng Guogong to make it clear."

"Madam Xiangjun, please be kind to the smashing of Prince Li's mansion. Because of this matter, the court is already a little uneasy. Of course, Madam Xiangjun, please rest assured that the person who led the disturbance will be severely punished. As for the other students , They were deceived by others to make such a big mistake. Therefore, please raise your hand to the county lady in this matter." Wei Zheng finished speaking with some shame.

Yes.

Wei Zheng was really ashamed at the moment.

Thousands of students were arrested by Li Xiaogong and put in prison.

After a few days, many great Confucian scholars, whether they were masters, or even officials from the court, have stepped into his mansion.

Naturally, these people came to intercede.

I beg Wei Zheng to speak for those students on this matter, so as not to ruin the future of these students.

make trouble?
What's the fuss?

Li Chongyuan himself was not in Chang'an, and these students dared to lead someone to smash the residence of Li Chongyuan, the king of Xisha County, which was a violation of the law.

Moreover, it was a clan mansion that was smashed, which was a big taboo.

They violated the law and violated a big taboo, how could they dare to make a fuss, and they didn't know that there was no way to make a fuss about this matter, let alone make a fuss.

If this is normal, they will definitely make a big fuss.

Maybe Li Shimin has to be blocked.

It's a pity that this matter is really beyond their control.

to this end.

It can be said that those great Confucian scholars, masters, and civil officials in Chang'an City came to their door every day to ask Wei Zheng to intercede.

Plead for those students.

As for why, don't think about it.

Among the arrested students were students of Confucianism, students of Master, and relatives of civil officials.

In short.

The gate of Wei Zheng's mansion has been trampled down by these people.

The old lady's face turned down when she heard the words, "Zheng Guogong, if you came here for that matter, please be rude. Butler, see off the guests."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady turned around and went back to the mansion.

The butler stretched out his hand, "Duke Zheng, please."

Wei Zheng looked at his family, heaved a long sigh, and climbed into the carriage silently.

This trip, he returned without success.

Li Chongyuan, who is far away on the other side of the ocean, doesn't know anything about what happened in Chang'an.

The sky will be bright.

Li Chongyuan climbed out of his tent, looked at the place where the sun was about to rise, and stretched his waist, "Ah~~ Another sunny day. I hope I can gain something today, and don't return empty-handed again. "

"Xiao Langjun, you wake up so early." Le Dao came over from not far away.

Le Dao was on duty last night.

However, from Le Dao's expression, it is impossible to tell that he is on night duty.

When they arrived at this place, it seemed that everyone did not appear sleepy and exhausted due to the jet lag, but they all looked like tigers.

Come on.

Li Chongyuan and the others came here by boat all the way, so they didn't feel the problem of jet lag.

Li Chongyuan smiled, "We have already penetrated hundreds of miles. If we go deeper, I am afraid that something will happen. So, today is the last day of this search."

This is the second time it has been changed.

After leaving Tangli Bay, Li Chongyuan and the others chose another coast to go ashore, and searched for crops all the way to this place.

It is seven or eight hundred miles away from the landing point.

Last time, a crew found sunflower seeds.

But this time, the distance of seven or eight hundred miles has been penetrated, and it is still empty.

This made Li Chongyuan wonder whether the direction he was looking for was wrong.

But even so, Li Chongyuan has no practical way to solve it. After all, Li Chongyuan has no idea where the crops he is looking for grow.

Li Chongyuan only knew that the crops he was looking for grew in America.

As for which crops are grown in North America, Central America, or even South America, Li Chongyuan has no idea.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan could only use such a stupid method to search from north to south.

If you can't find it like this, Li Chongyuan will go around South America, and then search from the south to the north.

In short.

This time, Li Chongyuan had to find the crops he had been looking forward to no matter what.

continue searching.

The camp was broken down, and after everyone had eaten some food when the sun was rising, they started their search journey again.

And this day.

Li Chongyuan and the others still haven't found the so-called target.

In the end, I had to go back disappointed.

Change places, change directions.

Searching again and again.

Every search takes at least half a month or a month.

After several times in a row, the time has come to October.

When it entered October, Li Chongyuan and the others changed places again.

This time, the distance from the first landing was already six or seven thousand miles away.

Li Chongyuan, who landed on the shore, started the journey of searching again without saying a word.

This time, Li Chongyuan and the others have come to the place where Mo Country was located in the previous life.

One day after landing.

There is a new discovery.

There are traces of human life, and they are still very obvious traces of human beings.

This made Li Chongyuan and the others feel a little more nervous, and at the same time, a little more hopeful.

Why?

In Li Chongyuan's cognition, where there are human beings, he can find the crops he needs, corn.

Moreover, according to the introduction in the documentary that Li Chongyuan watched in his previous life, corn was one of the first food crops discovered and cultivated by the Mayans.

As long as the Mayans are found, Li Chongyuan believes that he can find corn.

Be alert, spies form a team to explore the way, and news comes from time to time.

After confirming that there is no danger, Li Chongyuan and the others will start a new day of searching again.

evening.

Li Chongyuan and the others found a place where they planned to spend the night.

While everyone was cutting down trees and leveling the camp, a crew member suddenly shouted, "Jun Wang Li, Jun Wang, we found something, we found it, we seem to have found the longevity fruit you mentioned."

When Li Chongyuan heard the longevity fruit, he immediately ran over like a rabbit.

When he arrived at the crew, Li Chongyuan looked at the groundnuts that had been dug out on the ground, then knelt down, grabbed the groundnuts, and shouted excitedly, "Haha, haha, the longevity fruit is really the longevity fruit. Line eight, record He did it."

Li Chongyuan was so excited that he seemed to be lost.

excited.

So excited.

I haven't eaten groundnuts for many years, and I almost forgot what it tastes like.
