In the Tang Dynasty, every day of Shuo (the first day of the new year) and the day of the 15th day, the emperor would wait for the Taiji Hall to listen to the court and politics, which was called the early dynasty, also called the court meeting or court participation.

It just so happened that Li Hao arrived in Chang'an on March 14, and went to the pilgrimage early the next morning, the reason why the early dynasty is called the early dynasty is because it is really early, it generally starts at seven o'clock in the morning, although it starts at seven o'clock, but this is not to clock in at work, as a courtier can not step on the bell to enter the hall, especially in ancient times that pay attention to etiquette, all courtiers must arrive at the Taiji Palace half an hour (1 hour) or even an hour (2 hours) in advance to wait.

And to participate in the morning pilgrimage must be freshened up, plus the time on the road, it is half an hour to an hour of time, carefully calculated, if you want to participate in the morning pilgrimage, then you have to get up at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night.

This is simply bad news for Li Hao, who likes to sleep lazy, too frustrated, he was called up by the post house at four o'clock in the morning, Li Shimin also specially sent a eunuch to pick him up, after all, Li Hao is just a white cloth, he doesn't know anything about the rules of the early dynasty, of course someone has to guide him.

Li Hao tried hard to open his eyes, finished grooming half-dead, and followed the eunuch out of Huaiyuanyi, all the way to the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace.

Chengtian Gate has not opened at the moment, but the door is already full of ministers in official uniforms in groups of three or five people, eighty or ninety percent of them are bearded, these are the current top class of the Tang Dynasty, Li Hao rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, six o'clock has not yet arrived, he can't help but raise his head and let out a wail: "My God, if I get up so early every day to go to the court, even if I am the prime minister, I won't do it." ”

The eunuch on the side hurriedly whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, beware of being heard of you." ”

Li Hao pouted, I'm a white body, who is idle and has nothing to do to impeach me.

As soon as he had this thought, he heard a majestic cold snort behind him: "Hmph! Even if you look lazy, you are also worthy of being the prime minister! If you become the prime minister, then the Tang Dynasty will not die! ”

Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, was that nonsense just now? This fierce talent is talking nonsense, okay, he dared to openly say outside the Taiji Palace that the Tang Dynasty was going to die in the country, and he said it so loudly, this is the rhythm of eating the gall of an ambitious elephant.

Li Hao turned around suddenly, only to see a man in a purple official uniform standing more than a foot away from him, he raised a lantern to take a photo, and found that this person was in his fifties, with a majestic face, not smiling, a lock of white beard hanging down on his chest, and he was staring at himself with a pair of dead fish eyes.

Li Hao has studied the official system of the Tang Dynasty, and the person who wears a purple official uniform has at least three grades, which means that this person's official position is very high, but no matter how high he is, he is not as high as the emperor, and he dares to openly say rebellious words in this kind of place, Li Hao can't understand why this person is still alive, Li Shimin likes to kill people so much, he should have cut off his good head and kicked it as a ball.

Li Hao didn't know the identity of the other party, so he didn't dare to offend easily, and put on his signature smile and asked, "Old man, what is your surname?" ”

Seeing his rude words, the official was even more annoyed, glaring and shouting: "The old man's subordinate provincial servant, Wei Zheng!" ”

As soon as Li Hao heard the word Wei Zheng, he jumped back in fright, and hurriedly distanced himself from him, as if he saw a mad dog, in his impression, Wei Zheng was more terrible than a mad dog, who was arrested and trained whom, and the emperor was not happy to train the emperor, who dared to be better than him, he dared to point at Li Shimin and scolded the faint king, he was stunned to be able to live completely, and his good head was not kicked as a ball, it was so bullish.

Li Hao didn't want to be remembered by Wei Zheng before he saw Li Shimin, so he hurriedly raised his head: "Ah, the moonlight is good today, it's really a good time to enjoy the moon." ”

Wei Zheng's face was gloomy: "I can't see the moon today." ”

Li Hao was so embarrassed: "Ah, the stars are not bad, they are twinkle and twinkle, they are really naughty." ”

Wei Zheng snorted coldly: "The sky is full of clouds, how can there be stars?" ”

He was in a relationship with Li Hao, Li Hao was so anxious that he felt that he was being targeted by a mad dog, so he simply said: "Ah, today's dark clouds are good, the sky is full of them." ”

"Humph!" Wei Zheng had nothing to say, so he could only snort coldly, as if he didn't think it was enough, and added, "Clever words." ”

Li Hao suddenly became very happy when he heard this, he still knew the word "clever words", clever words are to say that people are good at rhetoric, making colors, that is, people are beautiful, this word is a derogatory term, which means that it refers to the use of rhetoric and flattery to confuse and please others.

However, when he came to Li Hao, he only heard two meanings: 1. He could speak, and 2. He was handsome.

He hurriedly bowed to Wei Zheng: "Thank you Wei for your compliment." ”

Wei Zheng was stunned, and snorted angrily again: "I don't know shame." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away, and the disgusted look was like seeing a lump of poop and avoiding it.

As soon as Wei Zheng left, he hurriedly came to his side with the eunuch, and said hurriedly: "Ouch, you can really get into trouble, you haven't seen it yet, how did you offend Lord Wei in the service, don't talk nonsense when you go to the palace, otherwise the reward will become a funeral." ”

Li Hao nodded perfunctorily, kept staring at Wei Zheng's back, and suddenly found an interesting thing, as long as Wei Zheng went, the officials everywhere dispersed in a hurry, and all the officials were far away from him, as if Wei Zheng had just climbed out of the pit, which showed that he was very unpopular.

"It seems that Lord Wei is not very popular in the court, just like the plague god, everyone avoids him." Li Hao smiled and muttered.

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Be cautious, be cautious, if you are heard by Lord Wei, you will not be willing to rest with you......"

As the eunuch was talking, Li Hao suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he was surprised: "Who is so awesome that he dares to gallop in front of Taiji Palace?" ”

As soon as he turned around, he saw a tall horse rushing towards him, less than ten meters away from him, he was instantly frightened stupid, and the eunuch reacted very quickly, and he had already shrunk his head and avoided it far away.

"! Sell your teammates! Li Hao shouted in his heart, he wanted to hide, but his legs couldn't be strengthened, and he kept trembling.

The man rode his horse in front of Li Hao, pulled the reins violently, and a neighing broke through the night, the horse man stood up and stopped two meters in front of Li Hao, and two beads of sweat on Li Hao's forehead rolled down.

"Wow Ka Ka, where did this kid come from, his concentration is good, his concentration is good." The figure on horseback turned over and dismounted, let out a demonic laugh, and walked towards Li Hao.

When he walked in front of him, Li Hao saw his appearance clearly, his figure was like a bear, with a beard, ring-eyed leopard head, the resolution was a little low, a rough man, how rough and rough it was, Li Hao, who was already familiar with Tang history, didn't have to think about it to know that this product must be the legendary demon king Cheng Biting Gold.

Cheng Yanjin looked Li Hao up and down, and nodded approvingly: "Well, yes, you are born with a talent, and you have great courage, when the old man rushed to kill on the battlefield, the enemy army saw the old man Ma Zhi, and he was so frightened that he fled in the wilderness, little baby, you are not afraid at all at a young age, and you have a future." ”

"There's your sister's future!" Li Hao shouted in his heart, "You are blind! Lao Tzu was so frightened that he couldn't move, and he almost peed! ”

Cheng Yanjin seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "Hey, no, today's court, what are you doing outside the Taiji Palace with a child in cloth?" ”

At this time, the eunuch ran over, nodded and saluted Cheng Jin: "So that Lu Guogong knows that this young man is Li Hao, who offered medicine to calm the plague, and he went to the temple today to listen to the reward." ”

Li Hao pretended to bow to Cheng Jin: "Junior Li Hao, meet Uncle Cheng." ”

"Ouch, the kid is quite polite, not bad." Cheng Biting Jin grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and at the same time stretched out a big hand like a fan and slapped Li Hao's left shoulder three times in a row, so that his bones were about to fall apart.

Li Hao grinned and received Cheng's slap from Jin San, and said with a forced smile: "Uncle Cheng's strength is really great, hehe." ”

"Of course! Wow Ka Ka! Cheng Yanjin let out a demonic laugh again, "I think back then, the old man crisscrossed the battlefield, a 8864-pound iron lance danced impermeable, and thousands of troops and horses took the head of the enemy, which was called a relaxed, play-like ......."

Cheng gritted his teeth and turned on the bragging mode, Li Hao looked at him with dull eyes, pretending to listen carefully, but in fact, he was thinking in his heart: "In the romance, it was said that Cheng Biting Jin used a Xuanhua axe, which turned out to be fake, and the weapon of this product turned out to be a lance." ”

Cheng bit Jin and blew for a long time, maybe he felt that his mouth was dry, smashed his mouth, stopped, and looked at Li Hao: "Boy, how did you listen to the heroic deeds of the old man, but you didn't react at all?" ”

"Papapa...... Li Hao hurriedly applauded and shouted against his will, "Wonderful, so exciting, Uncle Cheng is really the first god general of my Tang Dynasty!" ”

This sentence was exaggerated, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but blush, waved his hand and said: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it, although the old man is brave, but the name of the first god general of the Tang Dynasty is really unworthy, not to mention others, my righteous brother alone is a hundred times more powerful than the old man." ”

"Brother-in-law?" Li Hao's mind turned, and he immediately knew who it was, what he said must be Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong is indeed a fierce general, but unfortunately after the change of Xuanwumen, his body is poor, and he has been sick, Li Hao has checked his information, it should be various complications caused by severe anemia.

Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Hao from head to toe again, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, your kid looks very pleasing, and his mouth is sweet, the old man likes it very much, come, go to the side with the old man, and the old man will personally explain a few words to you." After speaking, he dragged Li Hao's arm and walked to the foot of the city gate.

Li Hao could only follow him helplessly, and the two came to the city gate, Cheng Yanjin lowered his voice and said slowly: "Boy, it is really a great blessing to be able to go to the palace at your age to listen to the rewards, but as the old saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, you must not get carried away." ”

Li Hao didn't expect him to take care of himself like this, and he was immediately grateful, and said, "The kid understands." ”

Cheng Yanjin continued: "I also look at you to the eye, so I have a heart of love for talent, and tell you a few words, after you go to the palace, don't look up at the emperor." ”

"Why?" Li Hao glared and asked, he was here to face the saint, but he didn't let himself look up at the emperor, so if he went back and asked: "Li Hao, what does the emperor look like?" He replied, "I don't know, I didn't see it." "Alas, it's a shame to think about.

Cheng Biting Jin grinned: "Our emperor is not very good-tempered, you are just a white body, it is a special honor to be able to go to the palace to listen to the reward, if you see the emperor's dragon face, the emperor is naturally not angry in court, but he will keep it in mind, think that you are a very bold person, if you are mediocre all your life, if you become an official one day, Your Majesty will remember the scene when he first saw you at first sight, which will affect your life." ”

"Ahh Li Hao stared at him when he heard this, and had to admire Cheng Biting Jin, this thing looks reckless, it turns out that his brain is better than anyone else, what he just said is a preconceived truth, which can be roughly understood as, "You dared to look at my dragon face when you met for the first time, it can be seen that your courage is very fat, so don't you dare to covet my throne in the future?" ”

Li Hao tidied up his clothes, and shook his long body towards Cheng Cheng with great solemnity: "Thank you Lu Guogong for your teachings, Hao remembers it in his heart." ”
