The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 86 Chapter 3

"I have met His Royal Highness the King of Zhou."

Luo Binwang's face was really not good to look at. Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with Li Xian. However, what Luo Binwang was dissatisfied with was not that Li Xian concealed his identity, but that he guessed Li Xian's intention to meet him, which was nothing more than a surprise, and this was something that Luo Binwang did not want to do, otherwise he would not have made a resolute decision back then. However, he left Li Yuanqing, the king of Taoism - in the mind of the king of Luo Bin, only the court is the right way. It is not a blessing for the court for the prince to recruit talents in private. Even if he is extremely depressed now, he does not want to have unnecessary involvement with the princes. Of course, if he does not like it, the necessary etiquette will not be lost. He was respectful but did not lose his own courtesy, but there was no enthusiasm in his tone.

"Mr. Luo, you're welcome. Please take a seat."

Li Xian knew very well about Luo Binwang's temperament. He only looked at his face and came out of his inner thoughts. He did not care about Luo Binwang's cold attitude. He smiled, politely arched his hand and returned the half-courtesy, and then waved his hand and gave up his seat with a smile.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for not being presumptuous." Luo Binwang didn't want to have much to do with the princes in his heart, so he replied in a tough voice, but when he thought of the kindness of Li Xian's help before, he was quite hesitant. After a short pause, he put the package in his hand and slowed down a little and said, "Your Highness, the kindness of help in those years, the lower official remembers it in my heart. However, the subordinate is only a fool's ear, and he really dares not sit with His Highness. Well, the subordinate owes the money and things to His Highness, and allow the subordinate to slowly return it. There is only one thing here, which is good money. His Highness is busy with official business, and the subordinate does not dare to nag. Please let the subordinates say goodbye.

Well, this bastard still has such a bad temper. Hey, except for Taizong, I'm afraid only we can stand it. Li Xian was made angry and funny by Luo Binwang's hand, but he didn't care too much. He just smiled and said, "Mr. Luo's words are not good. Today, Xiao Wang invited Mr. Luo to come here. It's just a business to talk about. It's better to ask you to take a seat first."

"This..."

As soon as Luo Binwang heard this, he couldn't help frowning. Not to mention that he was about to be dismissed, he was not dismissed. With the humble position of a bachelor in Dongtai, how could he have an intersection with such prominent princes like Li Xian in business? In his opinion, what Li Xian said was really outrageous. The problem is Li Xian greeted each other with such a smile, Luo Binwang is not good at leaving. After all, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the princes, which does not mean that Luo Binwang is willing to offend a prince for no reason. After a moment of hesitation, Luo Binwang did not insist on it. He just bowed his hand and sat down, but his mouth was tightly closed. Get up, the faction is not ready to talk to Li Xian deeply.

What is the demeanor of not folding the waist for five buckets of rice? That's it! Li Xian is not only not angry with the pride of King Luo Bin, but also admires him very much. You should know that Li Xian III has seen too many so-called celebrities, but no one can talk about principles like Luo Binwang, especially in the embarrassment that has reached the end of the mountains and rivers, and it is even more difficult to adhere to the principles. Since this year, although Li Xian has never dealt with Luo Binwang, he privately arranged people to pay close attention to Luo Binwang's situation. He knew that Luo Binwang was in great trouble at present. Originally, Li Xian also wanted to take advantage of his distress to bring him under his command with the kindness of help, but at this time, as soon as he saw Luo Bin's performance, Li He had changed his original plan and was not in a hurry to open his mouth. He just cooked the tea with a smile.

"Mr. Luo, this is the Yuqian Longjing just sent by Jiangnan. Please taste it."

Li Xian cooked the tea slowly, poured the tea into the jade bowl, politely handed it to Luo Binwang, and said with a "please" gesture with a smile.

"Thank you for your love."

Luo Bin and Wang Su like to drink tea. Although his official position is humble, he can't afford to use too good tea. But because of the name of the poem, he often goes to the invitations of poetry friends. He has used a lot of famous tea at the banquet. He is not unfamiliar with Longjing before the rain. He once used it once in the former minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and knew that this is a tribute. It can be used by extraordinary people. At this time, it was quite useful to see that Li Xian treated guests with such a good tea. He said politely. He picked up the tea bowl in his hands and tasted it carefully. In an instant, he was fascinated by the fragrance of tea and couldn't help praising, "Good tea!"

Tea is naturally good. These best goods come from the palace by Li Xian. Usually, he is not willing to use it himself. At this time, if he didn't know that Luo Binwang is fond of tea, Li Xian is really reluctant to take it out to treat guests. At this time, when he saw that Luo Binwang was really moved by this tea, Li Xian was happy and said with a smile: "Sir. It's good if you like it. Xiao Wang still has some stock. If you don't mind it, you can use more.

"Good tea is suitable, but more is not. Your Highness is kind, and the official is well-intentioned." Although Luo Binwang likes tea, he doesn't want to be used by tea. Without knowing Li Xian's intentions, he refused to accept Li Xian's kindness. After calmly replying, he put the tea bowl on a few children and waited for Li Xian to turn to the point.

Li Xian wanted to treat it with good tea just for a harmonious atmosphere. He didn't expect to rely on a little good tea to buy Luo Binwang's heart. At this time, when he saw Luo Binwang's refusal, he didn't pay attention to it. He smiled and took out a roll of paper from his wide sleeves and handed it to Luo Binwang with both hands. He was very modest. He said, "Mr. Luo, Xiao Wang has got a poem recently. I don't know whether it's good or bad. Please comment on it."

"Oh?"

The matter of "abandoning literature and practicing martial arts" by Li Xian was extremely sensational. Although Luo Binwang was not suitable enough to participate in the court discussion, he had heard a lot about this matter. At this time, when he heard that Li Xian said that he had a new poem, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he quickly remembered that when he first met, Li Xian's disguised "Wang Sanlang" offered The good seven unique poems were relieved, but they didn't say much. They reached out to take the roll of paper, spread it out, and read softly: "Jiuzhou is angry with wind and thunder, and it's sad. I advise Tiangong to make a serious and unrestrained talent. Well, the charm of this poem is average and straightforward, but it is bold. It's not bad, but..."

This poem is the "Jihai Miscellaneous Poems" written by Gong Zizhen, a poet of the later Qing Dynasty. At this time, it was plagiarised by Li Xian, and the name of the poem was changed - "Chunting Talent". From the perspective of the poem itself, it is really not too smart, but the meaning of the inside is by no means simple. With Luo Binwang's IQ, he can see the inner potential. The hidden meaning of changing the existing talent selection system is that he doesn't know how Li Xian's specific plan to change. In addition, this matter is not trivial. Luo Binwang did not dare to comment at will. Half of the words, he suddenly felt inappropriate, so he stopped and looked at Li Xian with a frown, as if he was waiting for Li Xian himself to make a rational comment on this poem. Explanation of.

"What does Mr. Luo think of today's imperial examination?"

Li Xian's purpose of making this poem is just an opening statement. When he saw the change of Luo Binwang's reaction and expression, he knew that he had guessed what he wanted to say, and he was too lazy to write on the poem. He looked solemn and asked directly.

"Ss..."

As soon as Li Xian said this, Luo Binwang couldn't help taking a cold breath, and his face turned white in an instant - the imperial examination is naturally a big article. Luo Binwang has had successes and failures in the imperial examination. He knows that today's imperial examination system is actually extremely unreasonable and needs to be changed urgently. The problem is that this matter is related and involved. It's very wide, but it's not funny. Not to mention that Luo Binwang is just a Dongtai detailed bachelor who is about to be dismissed, and even the prime ministers of the current dynasty dare not easily express their opinions on such matters. In Luo Binwang's view, even if Li Xiangui is a prince, he can't afford this heavy burden. If he really doesn't have a detailed preparation Hu If he takes action randomly, I'm afraid that in the end, Li Xian will have to pay for himself. Although Luo Binwang is straightforward, he still knows the importance. He is not afraid of such risks, but he can't but worry about Li Xian's recklessness.

"Your Highness, this matter is too much to deal with. It should be slow or not urgent. The lower position is low, which is not enough to plan this matter. Please forgive me." Although Luo Binwang also wanted to change today's talent selection mechanism, he knew that he did not have the strength to do it. He didn't want to show his true thoughts. He didn't need to say much, but when he thought that Li Xian had been kind to himself, he politely persuaded him.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a gossip. It's out of your husband's mouth and into Xiao Wang's ear. It doesn't matter. What do you have? Please say it bluntly." Li Xian came prepared this time and refused to forget it. He waved his hand with a smile and said carelessly.

Li Xian said that he had official business before, but now it turned out to be a gossip. These contradictory words were heard in Luo Binwang's ears, which really made him feel a sense of crying and laughing. If he hadn't consciously owed Li Xian's feelings, I'm afraid Luo Binwang would have gone long ago. However, the words come back to the topic of imperial examination reform. Luo Binwang himself is also very interested. If he has the ability to do so, Luo Binwang will go all out to do so. The problem is that he doesn't. In his opinion, since he doesn't have that ability, it's very useful to talk about it. He doesn't plan to do such a thing that is far beyond his ability. In this way, silence became the last choice of Luo Binwang.

"Mr. Luo also agrees that the existing imperial examination is in urgent need of change. In any way, Xiao Wang will throw bricks to attract jade first." Luo Binwang did not open his mouth, but Li Xian did not intend to reveal it. He smiled and first set his personality for Luo Binwang with words, and then he slowly took out a book that had been covered with yellow silk from his sleeve again. He held it in his hands and handed it to Luo Binwang.

Luo Binwang obviously didn't expect that Li Xian had prepared this chapter, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. At another look, Li Xian actually sent the manuscript to himself. For a moment, he didn't know whether to answer or not...
