Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 202 Meeting Candidates from Liaozhou in Chang'an City
"Fang Ling, I didn't expect to see you here."

Yang Yuzhi spoke first.

He looked down at Fang Yuan from a high position.

There was surprise and deep disdain in his eyes.

County Lord Shouchun didn't speak, but looked at Fang Yuan with even more disdain.

Both of them drank a lot of wine, their faces were slightly red, and their steps were a little frivolous when they walked over.

Both of them were holding wine glasses, as if they wanted to drink with Fang Yuan.

"What's the matter with you two?"

Fang Yuan tasted the wine slowly, said calmly.

He didn't even bother to get up to greet them.

After Li Shimin started the banquet, he said that tonight, don't stick to formality and don't care about etiquette.

Therefore, Fang Yuan can not care about the identities of the two, and does not need to salute the two as usual.

And the expressions of the two of them were short of engraving the word provocative on their faces, how could Fang Yuan give them face.

"Fang Ling looks down on us?"

"You don't even want to have a glass of wine with us?"

Yang Yuzhi's voice became louder.

The higher-ups at several tables near Fang Yuan heard it, and their eyes flashed a bit meaningfully.

Recently, Fang Yuan's reputation has become very famous, the conflicts with Pei Xiang and Xiao Yu not only did not break him to pieces, but Xiao Yu colluded with Bishamen to assassinate the emperor.

What caught everyone's attention the most was that Fang Yuan was invited to the high-level banquet in the palace today.

Although the status of the Chang'an Order is special, it is not so special, right?
"I'm sorry, the singing at the banquet was loud and the dancing was moving. I didn't hear what you said clearly."

Fang Yuan smiled, pretending to be embarrassed and said.

"Fang Ling looks down on us?"

"You don't even want to have a glass of wine with us?"

Yang Yuzhi didn't notice anything, and asked again.

This time, his voice was a little louder, attracting the attention of more people around him.

"what?"

"Sorry, I still haven't heard clearly."

Fang Yuan still had the same attitude as before.

"Fang Yuan, are you pretending to be deaf and dumb?"

Yang Yuzhi frowned and said in a deep voice.

He noticed something was wrong, and felt that Fang Yuan was deliberately pretending not to hear.

Although the singing and dancing were loud and clear, they did not affect the conversation between people.

Especially Fang Yuan's location is the farthest from the singing and dancing center, how could he not hear it twice in a row?

Lord Shouchun also didn't look at Fang Yuan with a frown, his eyes were filled with scrutiny and anger.

"What did you say?"

Fang Yuan still looked like he didn't hear clearly.

"I asked you if you were pretending to be deaf and dumb!"

Yang Yuzhi was furious and couldn't help roaring on the spot.

The voice was much louder than before, and many people at the banquet looked over one after another.

At this moment, the dancing maid didn't know if she was affected, and fell to the ground with an oops.

"Your Majesty's atonement, Your Majesty's atonement!"

The maid who fell quickly got up and knelt on the ground.

The rest of the maids also knelt down and begged for mercy.

The original beautiful song and dance not only ended with the dance, but also the singing.

Soon, the emperor, the Supreme Emperor and others all looked at Yang Yuzhi and Shouchun County Lord.

Almost everyone believed that it was Yang Yuzhi's roar that caused the banquet to become like this.

The banquet was suddenly quiet, and Yang Yuzhi and Shouchun County Lord naturally noticed it, and also noticed that everyone at the banquet was looking at them.

In an instant, both Yang Yuzhi and Shouchun county master shuddered, and their drunkenness was reduced by more than half.

"Your Majesty, Fang Yuan pretended to be deaf and dumb, ignoring our toast!"

The Lord Shouchun quickly threw the pot at Fang Yuan.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I asked him three times, but he pretended not to hear."

Yang Yuzhi also said hastily.

I don't know if he was frightened, but cold sweat secreted from his forehead.

Li Shimin didn't speak, but his eyes shifted from Yang Yuzhi and Fang Yuan to Fang Yuan.

"I really didn't hear what Yang Yuzhi said."

"You can't blame me for disturbing everyone's elegance just because I didn't hear him?"

Fang Yuan got up and said loudly.

"You, you are clearly provoking me on purpose!"

Yang Yuzhi shouted in panic.

He understood, understood why Fang Yuan repeatedly said that he couldn't hear it.

It turned out that he intentionally provoked himself to embarrass himself in front of everyone.

However, what can we do if we know it? No one would believe it in the current situation.

Fang Yuan shrugged, didn't speak, just looked at Li Shimin.

Everyone still didn't speak, as if they waited until Li Shimin spoke.

"You two are just doing stupid things."

"In the future, the two of you should not come to the palace banquet."

Li Shimin said calmly.

After the words fell, the faces of many ministers changed.

Don't come to any future palace banquets, which means being kicked out of the high-level court.

This situation is a very fatal blow to some people, especially the Shouchun County Lord is not from Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, we did not intend to."

The Lord Shouchun quickly admitted his mistake.

The same is true for Yang Yuzhi, no longer arguing about right or wrong.

It's just that Li Shimin didn't speak, it seemed that the result was fixed, and there was no room for discussion.

"Father, Sister Shouchun and brother-in-law may be tasting high-grade wine for the first time. If you accidentally drink too much, please ignore them."

Li Ke stood up, Lang Sheng said.

It was the first time to taste it again, and it was careless again, and skillfully interceded for the Lord Shouchun County.

"Father, Sister Shouchun and brother-in-law are careless and reckless, will you spare them once?"

Prince Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, then stood up and said.

The two princes interceded aloud, and some ministers exchanged glances, and were also ready to intercede.

Seeing this, the county lord Shouchun and Yang Yuzhi both heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that they were fine.

It might be that the crisis was resolved, after both of them breathed a sigh of relief, they hated Fang Yuan even more.

They were rushing to get Fang Yuan back for the imperial examination.

Unexpectedly, being tricked by Fang Yuan made the two of them almost fall asleep.

"Your Majesty, Yang Yuzhi deliberately provoked him by slandering his ministers, intending to offend His Majesty and other ministers. Your Majesty, please uphold justice for your ministers."

When the minister was about to get up to intercede, Fang Yuan suddenly walked out of the banquet and said loudly.

After the words fell, everyone had different expressions, and they all looked at Fang Yuan differently.

Most of the ministers who had never dealt with Fang Yuan thought to themselves, this person can't be a stunned young man, right?

But some people are dissatisfied and resentful, such as Yang Yuzhi and his wife, and the third prince Li Ke.

There is also a small part of surprise and admiration, Du He even gave Fang Yuan a thumbs up in private.

"You have no jokes!"

"How can I take back my words?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice.

His sharp eyes swept across the crown prince and the third prince, and finally stared at Yang Yuzhi.

Li Shimin wants to see how high his prestige is, has it become higher with the destruction of the Eastern Turks?
"Your Majesty, sir."

Yang Yuzhi and Shouchun county master's expressions changed drastically, and they wanted to ask for love.

But Li Shimin didn't have a chance for them, so with a wave of his right hand, the forbidden army immediately appeared and invited Yang Yuzhi and Shouchun County Lord out.

The eyes of the high-level people present changed, even the third prince Li Ke opened his mouth and did not try to persuade him.

Li Shimin's face was expressionless, but his heart became more proud and active.

I unify the interior, disintegrate the clans of the world, and it is only a matter of time before the king comes to the world!

In the end, Yang Yuzhi and Shouchun County Lord were invited out of the palace in full view.

The next banquet became delicate, the relatives of the royal family and the high officials of the court all looked at Fang Yuan with weird eyes, wondering why Fang Yuan's status in the emperor's heart is so high?
Even Fang Yuan was very curious, guessing his position in Li Shimin's heart.

But after a few glasses of wine, Fang Yuan put this question behind him.

It is better to rely on yourself to grow and develop slowly, relying on the mountains to fall, and relying on everyone to fall.

Finally, the banquet ended, Fang Yuan and Du He left.

In the next few days, Fang Yuan was busy with the imperial court's imperial examination arrangements.

Among them, some candidates appeared in Chang'an City. The Su family, represented by Su Ziqing, arranged accommodation and contracted out some inns in Chang'an City to arrange for the candidates to live.

As for food, Du Ruhui's family mainly prepared better food for the candidates and sent them to the contracted inn for the candidates to eat.

Among the candidates, there will be those who fail the rankings and retake the exam every year, or even retake the exam several times. This is the first time for them to encounter this kind of situation, and they are all very surprised.

After understanding the situation, the examinees were immediately grateful that the Gaohu court really valued the imperial examination.

Ever since, some lyrics appeared, praising Li Shimin and the court, and some praising Du Ruhui and Li Chengqian.Later, there was even the Chang'an order of praising Fang Yuan.

More than half a month passed, and more candidates entered Chang'an City.

Fang Yuan has really stabilized, he came back from the county magistrate and the others, and formally started to govern Chang'an County, the people of Chang'an County began to recognize their parent official.

On this day, Fang Yuan corrected official documents at the county government office, and gave the green light to the business of Qin Huaiyu, Changsun Chong and others.

"Fang Ling, there is a candidate outside the door who claims to be a candidate from Liaozhou, named Zhang Ji, and wants to see you."

The guard at the gate reported to Fang Yuan.

These days, because all parties attach importance to the imperial examination, the examinees already know that there is Chang'an Ling Fang Yuan behind the attention of all parties to the imperial examination, and it is Fang Yuan who reviewed and approved their plans.

But because of the identity of the candidates and the problems of many candidates, Fang Yuan asked the yamen servant to refuse their invitation.

This time the yamen servant originally refused, but because he knew he was from Liaozhou, he came in to report to Fang Yuan again.

"Zhang Ji?!"

"Invite him in!"

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately gave the order.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Zhang Ji visiting.

So this guy passed Chunwei and made it to the finals.

I don't know how capable Zhang Ji is, and whether he can change the imperial examination that judges people by their appearance.

Seeing Fang Yuan like this, the guard at the gate breathed a sigh of relief, thought to himself that he was quite clever, and quickly pushed out to invite Zhang Ji.

"Students pay respects to Fang Ling."

Soon, Zhang Ji came in.

After seeing Fang Yuan, he saluted immediately.

"You're welcome, sit down!"

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

Claiming to be a student, some regard Fang Yuan as an elder, teacher and so on.

Fang Yuan was naturally happier, and understood why so many families wanted to participate in the imperial examination.

"Thank you Fang Ling."

Thank you Zhang Ji.

Only after Fang Yuan sat down did he dare to sit down.

"Don't be cautious, just treat it as Liaozhou."

Fang Yuan said with a friendly smile.

He found that when he saw Zhang Ji again, he became more reserved.

Not only that, but his legs seem to be healed, and it's not obvious to people who don't know when he's walking.

But the appearance still hasn't improved much, it's still the same, and this kind of appearance is easy to be disqualified by the imperial examination.

But he still passed the imperial examination, probably with a lot of hard work.

"Fang Ling, thanks to your previous training, the students can finally pass the Beijing exam."

Zhang Ji thanked him solemnly.

His expression was still as stiff as before.

Although Fang Yuan told him not to be restrained, Fang Yuan is different now.

When he was in Liaozhou City, Fang Yuan was in a high position, now the position is even higher, how can he not be cautious.

"That's all your own ability."

"I believe that your future will not stop at the Beijing test!"

Fang Yuan laughed.

Liaozhou is now in charge of Zhao Yingcai.

Maybe Zhao Yingcai would not be too sticky with Zhang Ji's appearance for his own sake, but he would not let him go if his grades were not good.

It can be said that Zhang Ji's talent is not bad, he just lacks a chance, maybe he will have the ability to soar into the sky.

"Thank you Fang Ling!"

"Fang Ling, I came to you this time with a request."

Zhang Ji's expression became excited.

But soon he showed a embarrassed look and begged.

"What do you think."

Fang Yuan still smiled.

If it's a small problem, it's okay to help.

"We have 36 students in Liaozhou, so I want to invite you to have a meal together to repay your kindness of regeneration."

Zhang Ji stood up with an extremely solemn expression.

A total of 36 students from Liaozhou can enter the Beijing Examination this time.

They arrived at Chang'an City together, on the way they decided to treat Fang Yuan to a meal to express their gratitude.

Naturally, there is also the idea of ​​wanting to climb the high branch of Shangyuan.

So the crowd recommended Zhang Jilai to invite Fang Yuan.

"This is of course no problem."

"Have you chosen the time and place?"

Fang Yuan laughed.

Those are all students from Liaozhou.

Maybe he will be an official with Fang Yuan in the same dynasty in the future, and even become a helper in the officialdom, a meal is definitely necessary.

"Now, Yipinxiang Restaurant."

Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly.

He did not disappoint the trust of his classmates, and he personally thanked Fang Yuan for his help.

Without Fang Yuan, he is still Zhang Ji who owes money to countless people.

Although now he still owes a lot of people money, especially Fang Yuan's bank.

But in exchange for the purpose of the Beijing examination, maybe he can get a half-job.

"You wait for me for a while, I will arrange something in advance."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

Satisfied, I invited the most expensive first-grade incense in Chang'an City.

He asked Zhang Ji to sit here and go to the county magistrate's office to give some orders.

Not long after, Fang Yuan and Zhang Ji went out to Yipinxiang Restaurant.

Before the two of them arrived at Yipinxiang Restaurant, they saw a verbal conflict between the two sides.

Some of them are familiar, I have seen them in Liaozhou College.

They were targeted, they were in a weak position, among those who bullied them, the leader was Yang Yuzhi, and a middle-aged man Fang Yuan didn't know.

"Fang Ling, wait a moment."

Zhang Ji said quickly.

After bowing heavily towards Fang Yuan, he strode towards Fang Yuan in Yipinxiang Restaurant.

It's too embarrassing, I and others want to invite Fang Yuan to dinner, not to invite Fang Yuan to watch a play.

Fang Yuan didn't stop, and didn't call Zhang Ji to stop, but followed slowly.

Before the person arrived, Fang Yuan knew about the situation, and the two parties were competing for the banquet.

The number of people on both sides is about the same, so it is necessary to book a large private room.

But there was only one big private room left, so the two sides argued.

At this time, Yang Yuzhi noticed Fang Yuan's arrival, and smiled coldly at Fang Yuan.
