The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1208 The Biggest Official

Li Goudan buried himself in his book in the room.

His honest father was wiping left and right beside him, helping him tidy up the room.

Occasionally looking up at Li Goudan, a rather simple and honest smile would appear on his face.

It seemed that this room was the holiest place for him, and no dust could be tolerated.

And Li Goudan is his greatest pride.

This honest farmer probably never imagined that his child would be able to excel at such an age.

Ten-year-old Juren.

What is juren?
That's sir!

This is something he didn't even dare to think about before.

Not to mention the master Juren, even the wealthy businessman Master Ma who took care of them a lot is already a big shot in his heart.

And since his son passed the test, even Master Ma has become more enthusiastic about them, and even wants to make his granddaughter and Goudan be engaged.

In the past, Li Goudan's father certainly wished for this.

Only now, but he dare not fully agree.

Li Goudan seemed to have grown up suddenly, and he did something he didn't even dare to think about.

So, he just said that this matter will be decided by Goudan in the future.

"Dong dong!"

Just as Li Goudan's father was watching Li Goudan giggling, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Li Goudan raised his head and looked towards the door.

His father hurriedly said: "I'll go and open the door, you continue to read."

After all, he hurried to the door.

Opening the door, there was a little old man with a goatee and a certain temperament on his face with a warm smile.

"you are?"

Li Goudan's father had no impression of this person, so he asked in doubt.

The visitor said: "Excuse me, is this the place where Jusheng Li Zhaoen and Master Li stayed?"

Li Goudan's father might not even understand the word stay, but when he heard someone calling his son "Master", a smile appeared on his face immediately.

There is so much pride in that smile.

He looked into the room and said, "Son, I'm looking for you."

Then he moved away.

Li Goudan looked up at the door in the room, stood up from the chair, "Excuse me, where did you come from, senior?"

The little old man with a goatee smiled at Li Goudan, and said, "Master Li is being polite. My master would like to invite you to stay at his residence."

Li Goudan was slightly puzzled and looked at his father.

His father asked again: "May I ask which master it is?"

But the old man with the goatee just said: "It's not convenient to say, you will know after you go."

Li Goudan's father looked at Li Goudan, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Li Goudan pondered slightly, and finally nodded, "Then please lead the way!"

At his age, he often still doesn't know how to reject people.Although knowledgeable, as Chen Wenlong said, he is still a child at heart.

"Please!"

The little old man with the goatee reached out of the house, and then walked out with Li Goudan and his son.

Out of the inn, there are already sedan chairs waiting outside.

The little old man with the goatee invited Li Goudan and his son to the sedan chair again.

In the end, the sedan chair went to Chen Wenlong's mansion.

It was Chen Wenlong who wanted to see Li Goudan.

Apparently, the deputy state secretary in charge of economics has a heart for Li Goudan, a junior who is still young but has profound insights in economics.

The sedan chair didn't stop until the courtyard of Chen's mansion.

The little old man with the goatee let the bearers get off the sedan chair.

Chen Wenlong was sitting under the willow tree in the courtyard, beside the stone table.

As soon as Li Goudan and his son got off the sedan chair, Li Goudan saw Chen Wenlong smiling at him.

This made him look nervous for a moment, and he bowed and said: "Student Li Zhao'en has met the chief examiner."

He probably didn't know Chen Wenlong's position in the court, but at that time Chen Wenlong spoke in front of all the examinees, so the identity of the chief examiner was definitely true.

Li Goudan's father seemed even more nervous than Li Goudan. He fell to his knees and shouted, "Caomin has seen the master."

"Ha ha!"

Chen Wenlong couldn't help laughing loudly when he saw the father and son like this.

The little old man with the goatee who was actually the butler was also chuckling beside him.

Immediately Chen Wenlong said: "There is no need to be too polite. The old man invited you here just to discuss in private, so there is no need to pay attention to these red tapes."

Then he waved to Li Goudan, "Come, come and sit."

Li Goudan walked obediently and sat down opposite him, but his butt only dared to touch half of the chair.His father just stood there.

Chen Wenlong didn't say much, just smiled at the two of them.

There was no words for a long time, which made the expressions of Li Goudan and his son even more restrained.

Li Goudan was young at heart, and finally couldn't help but look around secretly.

Chen Wenlong is the Deputy Minister of State, and the house Zhao Dongting bestowed on him is certainly not shabby.Pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions are all dazzling and complicated.

Seeing Li Goudan like this, Chen Wenlong suddenly smiled and asked, "How is this old man's mansion?"

Li Goudan looked at Chen Wenlong cautiously, and said, "It's big, it's big."

With the help of Master Ma, their family has now built a house in Maoming County, but it is nothing ordinary, and of course it is far, far away from Chen Wenlong's mansion.

Chen Wenlong laughed again when he heard the words, "This is what the emperor bestowed on this old man."

When Li Goudan and his father heard the word "Emperor", their eyes immediately showed extreme surprise.

Chen Wenlong pointed to the cakes on the table, and said again: "Come, come, eat some cakes."

Seeing Chen Wenlong's kindness, Li Goudan couldn't help being curious, and asked, "May I ask, what is your official position in the court?"

This time it was Chen Wenlong's turn to be surprised, "Don't tell me you don't even know the official position of this old man?"

Li Goudan lowered his head a little shyly.

With this appearance, Chen Wenlong couldn't help laughing again.For Li Goudan, I'm afraid he should be more satisfied.

Immediately he said: "Old man Chen Wenlong is the deputy state affairs order of the DPRK and China. Do you know the deputy state affairs order?"

Li Goudan raised his head and said, "You know it. The deputy state affairs order is a member of the Ministry of State, from the first-rank officials. If you go up, you will be the state affairs order."

Standing up while speaking, he bowed deeply to Chen Wenlong and said, "Jusheng Li Zhao'en has seen the Deputy Minister of State."

Then he looked at Chen Wenlong curiously, with envy in his eyes.

Chen Wenlong is so old-fashioned, he could see Li Goudan's expression, and asked with a smile: "Little guy, you just turned ten years old, and you came to participate in the palace examination. May you tell me why you participated in the palace examination?"

Li Gou said eagerly: "The boy also wants to become a high-ranking official in the court like you, the biggest official."

"Oh?"

Chen Wenlong couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the words, "Are you participating in the palace examination just to be an official? If you are an official, why?"

Li Goudan said shyly, "I-I haven't thought about this before."

"absurd!"

Chen Wenlong's face darkened slightly, "If you only participate in the palace examination for the purpose of becoming an official, won't you be an official in the future only to satisfy your own selfish desires?"

The original favor towards Li Goudan may have diminished a lot in an instant.

With Chen Wenlong's gentle temperament, he was able to scold Li Goudan like this, it must be because of his disappointment.

Li Goudan is not yet at the age where he can read words and demeanor, he just said aggrievedly: "But my dream is to be the biggest official in the world."

"Be the biggest official in the world!"

Chen Wenlong snorted softly, "Who taught you this? You don't even know what it means to be an official. No matter how great an official is, what good is it for the court and the common people?"

He only thought that it was Li Goudan's father who taught him, and he even looked at Li Goudan's father with a somewhat unfriendly look.

This made Li Goudan's father tremble a little, and quickly lowered his head.

From a first-rank official, he probably couldn't even imagine how big this official is.

But Li Goudan poked his neck and said, "Brother Dongting taught me this. He said that if you become a high-ranking official, you can eliminate those bad guys."

Chen Wenlong was slightly taken aback, "Bad guy, what kind of bad guy?"

Li Goudan didn't know Tibetan, so he told the story of how Zhao Dongting took them to Maoming and killed those horse bandits.

Chen Wenlong couldn't help laughing again when he heard the words.

He realized that there was something wrong with his mentality just now.

At Li Goudan's age, if he wanted to know what the responsibilities of being an official were, it would be a bit embarrassing for him.

Chen Wenlong said with a smile: "If you want to be the biggest official in the world, don't you just want to eliminate those horse bandits?"

Li Goudan said very seriously: "I want to make the world no longer have horse bandits."

"well."

Chen Wenlong just smiled and nodded this time.

There was no more words after that, after a while, the little old man with the goatee sent Li Goudan and his son out again.

He sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the eaves in front of him in a daze, "The biggest official, destroy all the horse bandits in the world... The heart of a child, the heart of a child..."
