The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 318 Invite talents in Guanlin Temple

On the third day of the third year of Xianheng, the dragon raised his head, and Gao Zong issued a Ming edict to announce the world. Li Xian, the king of Lu, was appointed as the prince. The Ministry of Ceremonies chose a day to make a gift, and granted amnesty to the world. Kai Enke, took the crown prince Li Xian as the main examination, and Hao Chujun as the deputy chief examiner. There are also several edicts, which make major adjustments to the members of the court - appoint Li Zhen, the king of Yue, as the crown prince, and stay in the court to participate in political affairs; Jin Liu Rengui is the secretary of the Ministry of officials, who participates in political affairs; Li Jingxuan, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, transferred to the Ministry of Household, and participates in political affairs; Le Yanwei transferred the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies to participate in political affairs; Pei Yanjin, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice; Hedao Jia Dayin, the governor, took over the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, and his absence was taken over by Fan Libing; Hao Chujun, the right prime minister of Jin, who was also the secretary of the Ministry of War. Pei Xingjian is still the same as the left, and there are many changes in the rest of the departments. Among them, Lin Mingdu, the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies, was transferred to the servant of the Household Department; Luo Bin, the king of the imperial historian, transferred the national governor of the wine; Lin Qi, the imperial historian, Zhongcheng, etc. It is not an exaward to say that it is a big reshuffle of the Korean game.

Under such a big change in the court, it is natural that some people are happy and some people are worried. In the end, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Empress Wu obviously took advantage of it, and the new crown prince Li Xian also gained a lot. Several of his hardcore confidants have been promoted, and the rest of their subordinates have also been transferred back to the court. In addition, Wen Feng has been effective. The courtiers can be said to have made a lot of money. In contrast, Li Xian's encounter seems to be a little unsatisfactory. Although there are also very few examples of promotions such as Luo Binwang and Lin Mingdu, many officials who came from the former prince's side were excluded to the place and occupied half of the court. It has shrunk. At least on the surface, after this change, Li Xian seems to have suffered a big loss.

Have you lost? Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is the case. Well, not only is the position of the prince not mixed up, but also a large group of subordinates have been squeezed out. Even if these subordinates are just effective, it is difficult to guarantee loyalty, but in any case, the inability to maintain the status of these loyalists shows that Li Xian has lost power. Of course, this is all the other side. It's just people's opinion. For Li Xian, it doesn't matter how others look at it. Li Xian has his own calculation and will not be easier because of other people's views. In fact, in Li Xian's view, he has not lost much after this tosssing around. He can only catch big fish because of the long line. He often can't care about the gains and losses in front of him. As for those officials who have been excluded to the place, if they can make some achievements in the locality, they will be worthy of great use in the future. If they complain about eating and waiting for death, it is also a scourge to keep such people. It is also a good thing to drive them out early. Besides, Li Xian really didn't move at all, and how could he go? What really upset Li Xian about those small losses was that Queen Wu took advantage of the great changes in the court situation and successfully stuffed all the children of Wu Chengsi into the court officials. Although they are all gathered in the left and right Yulin army and can't intervene in the government for the time being, but with the Yulin army like this The springboard is that Zhu Wu's participation in politics is already predictable. Although Li Xian knows that it is extremely harmful, he can't stop it. He can only acquiesce to the reality. As for the future, it will be said in the future.

When the court changes, everyone's profits and losses are in their hearts, either happy or sad, but for the people who come to Luoyang City to take the exam, it is definitely a great news - the prince must, Enke can also open, and it is a happy thing to be happy without delay. Incidents, not to mention this Enke has also deliberately increased the proportion of admission, from the original number of 100 to 200, which means that 3,000 people have the possibility of almost 10 percent of middle-time scholars. This is the largest-scale scholar since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Under the prospect of being an official, no one is extremely excited. If it hadn't been for the coming of the examination period, if the people didn't dare not grind their guns, they would be afraid that they would have the heart to parade on the street. Even so, the articles praising Gao Zong and the prince also rushed to the Guozijian like a tide. Of course, it's one thing to flatter today, and I'm more afraid that they want to rely on those worthless flattery articles. Zhang Xian left a good impression on the examiners, so that it can be convenient at the time of the big comparison. For such a small amount of money to do great things, the literati are very smooth, but not everyone is enthusiastic about this. Xiangyang's son Zhang Jianzhi is very disdainful of the little tricks of his peers, repeatedly persuading his peers to be ineffective. Under the shape, Zhang Jianzhi simply moved out of the inn rented by his fellow villagers and hid alone in the Guanlin Temple on the outskirts of the city to prepare for the exam.

Guanlin Temple, which was built in the Three Kingdoms, is the tomb of a generation of Wusheng Guan Yu. Because there are thousands of ancient cypress trees in front of the tomb, it is called Guanlin. It covers a wide area and there are many houses in the temple. Although the incense is full bloom, the backyard is clean. The cypress is like the tide, and the breeze is refreshing. It is good to study hard. Zhang Jianzhi and the temple host the youth. The cloud Taoist priest is old and can live here for the time being. He has his wish. He warmed a pot of tea in the stones of Lin Zhongshan, holds a book, and reads it aloud when he rises. When he rises, he will taste the tea lightly. He sits and watches the waves and disappear. It is really comfortable. No, the sky is approaching dusk, and Zhang Jianzhi is still unwilling to return. He lies on the mountain stone and chants loudly: "Zi said: for politics and virtue, such as Beichen, living in its place and all the stars..."

"Sir is very interested, but someone asked: What is Deye?"

Before Zhang Jianzhi's voice was finished, he suddenly got up. Even if he saw a tall scholar in a white robe slowly walking out of the forest, Zhang Jianzhi did not get up to meet him, but squinted his eyes, looked at the visitor, and quietly stretched out his finger and clicked a big stone in front of him, which meant that he would let the come. Self-contained.

"Xiaosheng's surname is Li, Xingqi, Guanzhong Renshi, I came here occasionally. I saw my husband lying high in the forest. He was extraordinary and dared to come and nag. Please forgive me." The white-robed scholar didn't seem to mind Zhang Jianzhi's impolite behavior at all. He walked to the front with a smile and lifted the hem of the robe. Regardless of whether the stone was clean or not, he sat down cross-legged, arched his hand to Zhang Jianyi, and gently introduced himself.

"Some, Xiangyang Zhang Jianzhi, Bai Ding, who has been wasting for half his life, can't be called a gentleman. Your Highness, please do it yourself. Forgive Zhang's rudeness." Zhang Jianzhi stared silently at the white-robed scholar for a long time, suddenly laughed at himself, and replied in a gloating tone.

"Oh? Hahaha... Has Mr. Zhang ever seen Gu?"

This white-robed scholar is naturally Li Xian. The reason why he appeared here is not to play casual clothes for private visits. The purpose is to come for Zhang Jianzhi. At that time in his previous life, Li Xian was able to drive the Empress Wu off the stage, relying on the "change of the Dragon Palace" launched by Zhang Jianzhi, right. Li Xian was clear about Zhang Jianzhi's ability and character. Previously, when he found Zhang Jianzhi's name from the list of registration, Li Xian had already caught his people's heart. However, some time ago, because of the involvement of the DPRK, he could not act separately. When the situation in the court was over, Li Xian came to the door. Of course, The reason why Li Xian was able to find people so accurately was all the credit of the undercover force "Mingsi" led by Zhuang Yong, but he never thought that as soon as they met, he was broken by Zhang Jianyi's mouth. Even if Li Xian was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but be quite embarrassed and could only laugh to cover it up.

"I often hear old friends talk about Your Highness. Zhang is lucky to see the portrait of Your Highness at his place, and he dares not or forget it." Zhang Jianzhi did not agree with Li Xian's laughter. He straightened his waist and sat up straight. He slowly picked up the teapot that was burning on the small stove, poured a small bowl for Li Xian, and made a "please" gesture. Then he answered slowly.

"A good friend? Portrait?" It's okay that Zhang Jianzhi didn't explain it. Under this explanation, Li Xian was even more confused - Li Xian's knowledge of painting is limited. Usually, he rarely paints, and he can't let people make a special trip to draw portraits for himself. He really can't understand where the portrait Zhang Jianzhi said came from. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was suspicious. Looking at Zhang Jianzhi, the faction is waiting for him to explain.

"The virtuous person, everyone in the world says: loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, gentleness, respect, modesty, in a sense, but to the heart." Zhang Jianzhi did not explain who his old friend was, but answered the question raised by Li Xian at the beginning.

"Straight-minded? Well, what a wonderful solution. If a person has justice in his heart, it is virtue. However, there is another question. For the sake of justice, can we take the means of injustice? Li Xianhao has a memory of three generations. In his previous life, he was full of poetry and books, and later generations read a wide range of books. He even read strange theories from the Internet. Although he is less involved in literature in this life, he can talk about learning in his chest, but he is by no means under everyone in the world. But when he heard Zhang Jianzhi's explanation so wonderfully, he couldn't help shouting. However, after Li Xian cheered, he still didn't forget the business, so he asked again along the topic.

"There is a difference between great righteousness and small righteousness. Those who are beneficial to the society are the great righteousness. Under the great righteousness, they should not stick to the small knots. However, they must not be used as a last resort. The difference between this gentleman and the villain should be abandoned or taken. Only people choose it by themselves."

Li Xian's question is extremely tricky, and there is quite a legacy of Jin people asking difficulties. However, Zhang Jianzhi didn't care at all. He even avoided thinking and answered casually.

"A good righteous person is not informal. The gentleman is really talented. Xiao Wang took the liberty to come here just for one thing. Can you help Xiao Wang achieve a great career for thousands of years?"

Li Xian knows that Zhang Jianzhi is very talented, but at that time, Li Xian in his previous life, was a little sorry for this meritorious man of Ding Ge. As soon as he came to power, he demoted people from the court. Naturally, he would not make such mistakes again in this life. The reason why he was so eager to visit Zhang Jianzhi this time was that he had a good life to compensate him. With the intention of the debts owed by the world, Li Xian immediately made an invitation without hesitation.
