Datang first village

Inside the Palace of Prince Qin, Li Yuanxing was having a small banquet with Liu Zhenghui and Yao Silian.

The so-called small banquet is a word invented by Li Yuanxing, which has two meanings, one is that there is no need for a big table, and each person has a small table.Another meaning refers to four cold spots, two meat and two vegetables.Plus a fruit plate, a snack mix.Then there is free choice of tea and wine.

The amount of food is not large, and if you rely on this to get full, I am afraid that only Wu Zhao can eat.

"Mr. Liu has been resting for a period of time since he joined the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his body has recovered quite well. This king wants to invite Mr. Liu to serve as an official. I don't know what Mr. Liu will do?"

Does Li Yuanxing want Liu Zhenghui to come out and become an official again?

Liu Zheng said knowingly, at that time, it was the King of Qin who made me lose my position as Minister of the Household Department.However, the Minister of the Household Department was really meaningless. At this time, Li Yuanxing wanted to ask him to come out and become an official again, but Liu Zhenghui really moved his mind.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has a heart, and a certain body has recovered." Liu Zhenghui also expressed his attitude, waiting for Li Yuanxing to speak.

"This king would like to ask Mr. Liu to receive the title of Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites and serve as the vice-president of the General Academy of the Great Tang Royal Academy. The president of the Great Emperor Royal Academy is the king's elder brother, who is the current emperor. The vice-president of academic affairs is in charge of To put it simply, the subject teaching plan work of the five colleges, one small college and six colleges, is what courses these colleges teach, and Mr. Liu needs to worry about it!"

Good job!

Liu Zhenghui's indifference is false. For Confucian scholars, as long as there is an open selection for any position in the Royal Academy of Tang Dynasty, countless people will fight for their heads.

Li Yuanxing didn't urge Liu Zhenghui to answer. He knew that in Datang, some special high-ranking officials had to pay three resignations when they were hired.After three invitations, you will be hired. This is a courtesy, and to put it bluntly, it is also a broken rule that Li Yuanxing dislikes very much.

"Mr. Yao, Datang Royal Academy needs a deputy dean in charge of moral education, who is mainly responsible for the moral education of students from the five colleges, one small college and six colleges. Of course, each branch college will also have a moral education tutor for the branch college. There is no rule. , Without moral character, it is impossible to be an official in the world."

"Your Highness is righteous!" Yao Silian said in his heart, let's go to his three words.

The King of Qin himself is unreasonable to play cards. If you reject him once and treat him as not interested in you, what will he do if he doesn't come to you next time.

So Miao Silian immediately agreed, but he also made a request: "Your Highness, I have something to say first. Your Highness must seriously consider it!"

Yao Silian didn't say that, if you don't agree to me, I won't be an official, but Li Yuanxing was only allowed to consider it.

When Yao Silian was about to speak, a guard at the door quickly jumped in front of the door, took a look with his head, and then hid outside the door again.

"Mr. Yao, wait a moment." After Li Yuanxing apologized to Yao Silian, he said to Lu Maofeng, "Tell him to come in. Next time there is an urgent matter, he will report it at the door openly. It's a joke to poke around like this."

The guard came in, saluted Li Yuanxing, and then saluted Liu and Yao.

Then he said: "Your Highness, someone sent a token and a letter from Chang'an. The token belongs to the Shennong Hall, but it is a reward from the mansion. The other party stated that it should be given to General Erwa or Captain Lu."

Li Yuanxing nodded at Lu Maofeng, and Lu Maofeng ran over quickly. After opening the paper and looking at it, he showed a bewildered expression.But I don't know how to report to Li Yuanxing.

"Cui Yiye!" Li Yuanxing called softly.

Cui Yiye hurried over to take the paper and read it, and after reading it, his expression was extremely strange.Turn around and report: "Your Highness, this is a small matter in the letter. A female manager in Yaozhou was beaten in Chang'an. The person who beat her was the Baekje envoy. There were also some insulting words. I think I didn't write it down because I couldn't understand Baekje. .This dagger only needs to be checked to know who it was awarded to, so I will check it now!"

"Was it Jin Manqing who was beaten?" Li Yuanxing asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, that's right!" Cui Yiye responded, and then said: "This matter is just a small case, which should be handed over to Honglu, but it was sent to the Qin Palace. He must be severely punished!"

Li Yuanxing smiled, very coldly.

Seeing Li Yuanxing's smile, Lu Maofeng wanted to say something bad, and quickly winked at Cui Yiye.Li Yuanxing's expression meant that someone was going to be unlucky, Cui Yiye thought to himself that what he said was not wrong, and with His Highness Qin's style of doing things, even if he said something wrong, he would not be punished, let alone that he was not wrong.

Li Yuanxing stood up and came to Liu Zhenghui and Yao Silian.

"Liu Gong, this king thinks that the people of the Tang Dynasty were beaten. If the two sides in the fight were the people of the Tang Dynasty, it was a fight and should be handed over to Wuhoupu. If the people of the Tang Dynasty fought with foreigners, it is right Wrong person, who wrongly punished whom. Let Honglu Temple handle this matter, I wonder if what this king said is correct?"

"What Your Highness said is in line with the laws of the Tang Dynasty!" Yao Silian was quite familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty as the supervisory censor of the Yushitai.

Li Yuanxing nodded: "A strong man hit a weak woman. According to the king's courtesy, this matter is at least rude. I don't know what Yao Gong thinks?"

"His Royal Highness's theory of comity has won the hearts of the people. The people of Chang'an know courtesy, and humility is virtue!" After Yao Silian finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Zhenghui, and after seeing Liu Zhenghui nodded, he said, "I don't know that letter. , can you let the servants take a look!"

Li Yuanxing nodded, and Cui Yiye took the confession with both hands.

After watching it, Yao Silian said to Li Yuanxing: "After the conflict, they chased and fought again, and my subordinates wanted to commit another murder. This matter is no longer a simple fight. There must be a reason for it. I think the truth should be found out."

"This king also thinks that the truth should be found out. But this king has an attitude. If someone dares to humiliate our Tang people on the land of my Tang Dynasty, this slap will be my face!" Li Yuanxing's tone was somewhat severe.

At this time, Liu Zhenghui said: "Your Highness is wrong!"

"Where is this king wrong?" Li Yuanxing's tone became more serious.

"A foreign country humiliates our citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and it's my Datang's face!" Liu Zhenghui's tone increased a little.

Li Yuanxing bowed to the end, although he had many disagreements with Liu Zhenghui's political views, but this time Liu Zhenghui said it really well.Li Yuanxing immediately admitted his mistake: "This king is wrong, what Liu Gong said is true. Since you have the household registration of my Tang people, you can't be protected by my Tang in the Tang, so what if you are in a foreign land?"

"If His Highness does not give up on this matter, I am willing to investigate it on my behalf."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu." Li Yuanxing immediately wrote a warrant, just for this matter, and asked Liu Zhenghui to verify it on his behalf. "Since then, Mr. Liu has received the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the vice president of academic affairs of the Datang Royal Academy. This king happens to have a charter for the academy. This king thinks that it is better for foreign barbarians to learn poetry, books, rituals and music first." Only by knowing the etiquette and the book can one learn the great wisdom of the sages, and Mr. Liu has come up with a charter these days!"

Li Yuanxing signaled Cui Yiye to get the information.

A thick book, pure printed information.

It can be said that Li Yuanxing collected far more than the Four Books and Five Classics, including excerpts from the Book of Filial Piety, Disciple Rules, Encouraging Kindness, Tang Poems, Calligraphy and Painting, etc.

"Your servant must read it attentively."

Liu Zhenghui bid farewell to Yao Silian, and brought Lu Maofeng and Yuan Chun with him.

After all, the other party took the initiative to find Lu Maofeng, and Yuan Chun was a female official, so it was better for Yuan Chun to ask some questions.

After the two great scholars left, Wu Zhao ran to find Li Yuanxing.

"My people were beaten, and the people in Prince Qin's mansion were beaten and humiliated. What do you say, Your Highness King Qin?"

"If this is the case, let them know what the people of the Tang Dynasty are. Liu Zhenghui will intervene in this matter. Don't forget that he is one of the 24 heroes. His head is on the silver coin of one qian. This matter is just a At the beginning, you go to your own business honestly, you are not allowed to interfere, and don't ask!"

Li Yuanxing's tone was very severe.

Wu Zhao thought for a while, then screamed, "If someone slaps you in the face, you must slap it back."

"Wrong, this king is the King Qin of the Tang Dynasty. If you hit this king in the face, you will die. If you hit the face of the Tang Dynasty, blood will flow like a river. You little girl, don't ask me about this matter."

Wu Zhao quickly kissed Li Yuanxing on the face, then jumped and ran out.

Li Yuanxing understood the meaning of Wu Zhao's coming here. Wu Zhao said in Yaozhou according to his own intentions that there is no whip in the world that can beat the people of the Tang Dynasty. In just a few days, the people of the Tang Dynasty were beaten in the face. The slap was really in the face of Prince Qin's Mansion, but what Liu Zhenghui said was not wrong, it was in the face of Datang.

Although Liu Zhenghui disagreed with his own political views, he was a great and capable minister. Since he joined Li Yuan in the army, he had done many beautiful and important things.

From the perspective of foreign enemies, Liu Zhenghui, as a literati, is definitely not the sour Confucianism of the later Ming Dynasty.

He can kill.

When it was dark, with Lu Maofeng's token, they opened the city gate of Chang'an and entered Chang'an.

In the inn, Jin Manqing had regained her composure and just drank a bowl of porridge.Let her read, Xuejing wrote down all the words that the Baekje envoy insulted her.

There was a knock on the door, and the idle man guarding the outer room opened the door to welcome him in, and then said to Xue Jing in the inner room: "Really Xue Jing, someone from the Qin Palace!"

When people came from Prince Qin's Mansion, Xue Jing felt warm in his heart, and Prince Qin's Mansion was indeed the backer.

The first person to come in was Yuanchun, because this is the women's room, and it is a courtesy for the female officials to come in first.Then came Liu Zhenghui, Yao Silian, and Lu Maofeng.

"My name is Yuan Chun, and I am the female official of the eighth-rank official scribe of Prince Qin's Mansion. This is Dean Liu of the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty, who holds the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the vice-president of academic affairs of the General Academy of the Royal Academy. Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Vice President of Moral Education of the Royal Academy General Academy."

Yuan Chun stepped aside after the introduction.

Xuejing went to help Jin Manqing.

But Jin Manqing pushed Xue Jing away, and knelt down in front of Liu Zhenghui and Yao Silian, weeping uncontrollably. She was just calm with infinite grievances in her heart, crying so much that she almost fainted. (To be continued.)
