Back at King An's Mansion, Li Ye asked Song Jiao to take the little girl down first, wash up and change into clean clothes.

Li Zhen didn't object, after all, the dirty little girl shouldn't be placed anywhere.

Although it was not early, there was no shortage of cooks in King An's mansion, and a banquet was quickly arranged for Li Ye, when Li Ye pulled Li Zhen into the seat, Li Zhen was a little stunned, the banquet scene was too grand, which made him flattered again.

However, Li Zhen did not pretend to be a posture, but calmly sat down, and his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, but in fact, he took people short and ate people's soft mouths, and the atmosphere in the banquet became very enthusiastic without Li Ye's intentions.

The two talked about the most about the classics of Confucianism and Taoism, of course, not the classics of cultivation, but the doctrine of self-cultivation and governance, Li Zhen is good at these, and Li Ye also intends to test Li Zhen's ability.

As the conversation deepened, Li Ye felt more and more happy, because Li Zhen had real talent and learning, and the shock in Li Zhen's eyes became stronger and stronger, because he found that the young King An in front of him was easy to use all the classics, which was not to draw inferences from one another, but only to open a gate, and there would be a surging river pouring down, which could be called the five cars of learning.

Since ancient times, there is no first martial arts and no second, so the literati are light, and everyone thinks that their knowledge and literary talent will not really be worse than anyone else, but Li Zhen soon found that Rao is his cold window for nearly 30 years, and he is not as good as Li Ye, who has just reached the crown, so well-read and insightful, gradually, Li Zhen admired Li Ye.

For Li Ye, he was a great monk before the crossing, and of course he knew a lot about Chinese culture, and it might be a little difficult for him to rule the country and level the world, but it was more than enough to use it as a talking point at the banquet to bluff Li Zhen.

Soon, under the leadership of Li Ye, the two had a feeling of hating each other.

"Your Royal Highness has just passed the age of the crown, and his knowledge is so profound, I really admire it. Li Zhen raised his glass and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, and I know that this is true today." ”

Li Ye also raised his glass and said: "Being able to sit and talk with Li Gongzi is really a great pleasure in life, and it should be a big deal." ”

When the two drank the wine in the same glass, Song Jiao walked in with Rui Mengmeng, who had finished grooming, and saw the little girl being pulled by Song Jiao, Li Ye and Li Zhenju were stunned.

The six or seven-year-old girl put on a green shirt and red dress, and her hair was pulled up, probably Song Jiao loved the house and Wu, and she also smeared light makeup, so the sharp and cute in front of her looked red and moist, and her facial features were carved in pink and jade, just like the most exquisite doll in the world, cute and noble, it was really cute.

It's just that the little girl first entered the palace and was shocked by the luxurious layout in the mansion, so she seemed a little restrained, and at the moment she held Song Jiao's hand tightly and hid half of her small body behind Song Jiao, looking like a little squirrel who was afraid of seeing people, but her round and moist eyes were still as dazzling as the stars.

Li Zhen's shock was probably because he didn't expect that the little beggar who had dressed up would have the appearance of a fairy child, but the reason why Li Ye was shocked was that he saw a transparent air flow floating above the little girl's head.

People have their own luck, and the color of their natal luck is different, white, yellow, green and red, but the transparent natal luck is the first time Li Ye has seen it. Instinctively, Li Ye felt that this little girl was unusual.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King An. Rui Mengmeng saluted in the hall, her voice was full of childishness, probably because she was afraid of Li Ye, the prince, she always lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Li Ye.

After seeing the ceremony, Song Jiao pulled Rui Mengmeng up, her eyes were full of doting, as if she was looking at her own daughter, she said to Li Ye: "This child is afraid of you, I'll take her down to eat, and you can continue to talk." ”

After the two of them left, Li Ye asked Li Zhen: "This kid ...... Did you really pick it up on the street?"

Li Zhen was asked by Li Ye's strange question, and the second monk was a little confused: "I guess I can say that......"

Li Ye smiled, his eyes were deep, and he felt that this sharp and cute was a little interesting.

After the episode, the two continued, and Li Ye intended to let Li Zhen take refuge in himself, so he began to get to the point: "According to the child's opinion, the general trend of the world will be in the future?"

Li Zhen was quite surprised by the suddenness of this question, so he asked, "What does Your Highness think will happen?"

Li Ye paused for a moment, and suddenly said word for word: "The immortal sects on the rivers and lakes are all around, colluding with the feudal towns, not obeying the ban of the imperial court, accepting disciples without permission, passing on the immortal law to the people, expanding the ranks of monks, increasing their own strength, and the imperial court cannot prohibit it, this is a sign that the world will be chaotic and the catastrophe will be born!"

Li Zhen's expression was shocked.

In this way, Li Ye, as a child of the clan, can even say it directly.

Li Ye continued: "Today's Tang Dynasty, the outside can't appease the borders, the inside can't serve the feudal towns, the eunuchs in the palace take power, the 'four nobles' control the government, the court traitors steal high positions, run rampant, the children of the clan disregard the community, fight for power and profit, and only seek their own selfishness...... All of these are signs of the coming end of the world, and as a child of the clan, I can't ignore it. ”

Li Ye is right.

But when it came out of his mouth, it was a little terrifying.

"Your Highness's words are really deafening. Li Zhen was shocked.

Li Ye smiled and asked rhetorically, "What does Gongzi Li think?"

Li Zhen remembered his experience today.

The middle-aged man immediately beat six or seven-year-old Rui Mengmeng for a steamed cake.

The shopkeeper of the dilapidated inn, in order to pit his usual money, has an ugly face and is extremely indifferent.

The human heart is not ancient.

Li Zhen has seen and experienced too many such things on weekdays.

Even if he failed to rank three times, it was not because he was not talented enough, but because he did not go through the back door of the examiner.

Some scholars whose talents were far worse than him, because they were given gifts, entered the ranks early.

As a Confucian scholar who ruled the country and leveled the world as his life's belief, Li Zhen asked himself more than once how to distinguish himself in the face of this collapsed world.

At this time, the maid served tea, Li Ye took a bowl, pushed it in front of Li Zhen, looked at him, and said seriously: "The world will be chaotic, the catastrophe will be born, as a child of the clan, I can't stay out of the world, I want to make meritorious deeds first, and then seek out the town, and then plan a big plan, the talent of the pillars of the son, can you help me?"

Li Zhen took the tea bowl handed by Li Ye, was stunned, and did not bring it to his mouth.

Li Ye's words, Li Zhen is not difficult to understand.

As a child of the clan, and after the chaos in the world, and even after the change of the country, it is not without history that he turned the tide and saved Sheji, and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, is counted as one.

Li Ye's so-called "post-plan plan" is what it means.

Li Ye's sentence "are you willing to help me" is to ask Li Zhen if he is willing to take refuge in him.

Li Zhen drank a cup of tea.

Putting down the tea bowl, Li Zhen looked up at Li Ye and asked, "Is it not an accident that His Highness appeared at Queqi Bridge tonight?"

Li Ye nodded and smiled: "Don't hide it from your son, it's for you." ”

Li Zhen was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, he got up, saluted Li Ye, and said, "Zhen Bucai, I am willing to serve His Royal Highness." ”

Li Ye can see through the general trend of the world and have a plan, this kind of foresight and precautions are the foundation of the master.

Li Ye has a lot of knowledge, which is the foundation of success.

Li Ye treats people and things, is kind and peaceful, and makes people feel like a spring breeze, which is the posture of gathering people.

Li Ye went to Queqi Bridge today specifically for him Li Zhen, which shows that Li Ye has been paying attention to him for a long time, and it is a sign of respect for him to be able to brave the night rain and invite him in person in time when Li Zhen encounters hardships and has nowhere to stay.

This King An is the descendant of Li Xian, who was famous all over the world in the past and was praised by the world as a hero who saved the difficult times.

He is still a member of the fourth rank of the imperial dynasty, at the age of just reaching the crown.

Is such a person worthy of allegiance?

Worth.

If Li Zhen is not loyal to such a person, then how many better choices are there in the world?

Do you really want to find a shop, be a buddy, and from then on cut off the way of tribute, and use your life's learning to deal with a few ledgers?

When the scholars of the world came out, in addition to the tribute, they took refuge in the feudal town and became an official of the shogunate, which was also a way, and the imperial court also recognized the officials of the feudal town, and would regularly select good talents in it and entrust them with important tasks - this is also a means for the imperial court to control the feudal town, and control the personnel power of the feudal town.

Du Fu served in the shogunate of Yan Wu, the envoy of the Xichuan Festival.

Li Ye is the prince, and he inherits the mantle of Li Xian, and Li Zhen takes refuge in Li Ye and takes refuge in the envoy of the feudal town, which is a reason.

Li Ye hurriedly got up, helped Li Zhen up, was very pleased, and changed his title: "It is a lonely blessing to have Mr. as his arm! From today on, Mr. will join the army as the seventh grade of the palace!"

The officials of the palace, those below the five grades, Li Ye has the right to appoint, and he can report to him afterwards.

Therefore, now that Li Zhen is already a serious seven-grade record to join the army, he is just one of the last to take office.

"Minister Li Zhen, meet King An!" Li Zhen leaned down and bowed again, this bow confirmed the status of master and slave, and he was Li Ye's "retainer" from then on.

Li Ye helped Li Zhen up again.

He fixed his eyes on the top of Li Zhen's head.

As the dragon qi in his body swam, a red air flow converged towards him.

......

The next day, at the end of the day.

Li Ye stood in front of the attic window with his hands in his hands, looking at the view of the palace.

After the dragon qi absorbed Li Zhen's qi luck last night, his cultivation had already reached the fourth level of Qi Training, and he was just one line away from breaking through to the realm of the fifth layer of Qi training.

"Still a little bit...... It seems that the process of searching for talent cannot be stopped. Li Ye said in his heart, "It's just that a talent like Li Zhen who can be a scholar in the household department is too difficult to find." ”

From time to time, Shangguan Allure sent a message.

"Your Highness, Gao Yu has gone to Xichuan. ”

Gao Biao is the general who is known as the Shuangbi of the Dynasty along with Li Xian, and he is also the second person in Wang Duo's party.

Li Ye nodded and did not comment.

Shangguan Chengcheng said: "Now is the critical period for His Royal Highness to fight with Wang Duo and Wei Baoheng, Gao Biao left Chang'an at this time to go to Xichuan, and since then he has no control over the affairs of the court, which is a weakening of our power, how can Gao Biao act like this?"

Li Ye chuckled: "Over the years, Nanzhao has invaded Liangchuan again, Gao Biao, as a general in the army, what is the use of staying in Chang'an City, of course, it is to sit in Xichuan and resist the Nanzhao army, in order to get credit, now there is an opportunity to go out of the town of Xichuan, how can he not go?"

Shangguan Chengcheng frowned and said: "But at this time, he ignored the overall situation of the struggle between His Royal Highness, Wang Duo, and Wei Baoheng, and went to Xichuan alone, what kind of ally is this?"

Li Ye glanced at Shangguan Chengcheng: "Allies? For the sake of allies, can you not want your own power? In the face of power, the alliance is temporary, and the struggle is eternal." Because everybody wants more power. What is the purpose of Gao Biao's alliance with Wang Duo, is it Kuang Fu Sheji? His alliance with Wang Duo and with Lu Yan and Wang Duo are all the same reason, in order to strengthen themselves and better seek more power. ”

Shangguan Chengcheng opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

Li Ye looked into the distance: "In other words, Gao Biao has countless military exploits, don't you want to be a general? Don't you want to be like my father, and open a mansion alone? It's really time to overthrow Wei Baoheng and Lu Yan, and the alliance between Gao Biao and Wang Duo should collapse." At that time, in the court, I was afraid that the Gao Duo Party and Wang Duo's Party were competing - just like Wang Duo and Wei Baoheng are fighting now. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ye stopped and did not continue to say more.

Shangguan Chengcheng was silent for a while, but he couldn't help but ask: "Gao Biao went to Xichuan, will it have an impact on our affairs?"

Li Ye said: "Gao Biao is not in the court, of course there will be an impact, but after all, he is out of Xichuan, not demoted, and he can still support Wang Duo." In addition, his henchmen in the court will continue to follow Wang Duo, so the impact will not hurt the roots. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed lightly: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, whether it is power competition or personal resentment, struggle is everywhere. ”

Li Ye waved his hand and motioned for Shangguan to retreat.

Shangguan Chengcheng took two steps, and suddenly remembered something, she turned around and asked Li Ye: "Your Highness, the time when you went to pick up Li Zhen last night was when he was down, and the timing was just right...... Li Zhen was kicked out by the innkeeper, was it secretly instructed by His Highness?"
