Chapter 817

Li Chao had another son, which immediately became a hot topic at the end of the first year of Zhenguan.

"Suang Ye Li has another son."

"I know, this Li Qilang was granted the title of founding marquis of Wuyuan County as soon as he was born."

"It's not just a marquis, but a fiefdom of 100 miles from Annan Ximanhai."

"I was born and was the real Baili Hou. It's really enviable."

Someone had a little sour tone, "You don't even look at who Li Qilang's father is. His father is the most important official in the dynasty and is the prime minister. His mother is also the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, a five-member daughter of a famous family. Can this be the same? As the third son of the Li family, it is nothing special to be a marquis at birth, and it is not uncommon to be a prince."

"Li Qilang was able to be a marquis because he was good at reincarnation. That was because Li Xiang was very good at reincarnation. His Majesty transferred his merits to his son. If you have the ability, you would kill the famous Turkic kings in Loufan with tens of thousands of people and annihilate 100,000 Turkic cavalry in one fell swoop. Then you set Yu She to capture and persuade him to surrender in Fengzhou City, and then let the Turkic Khan commander Ye Hu sign a peace agreement to withdraw his troops. I believe you can also be a marquis."

"That's right, Li Xiangguo turned the tide alone. Forty-five million Turkic cavalry went south. If it weren't for Li Xiangguo, I wouldn't know where he would have fought. This ability and this achievement would be a Baili Marquis for his son."

"The Prime Minister Li's ability is no match for him. With Prime Minister Li being there for one day, it would be impossible for the Turks to cross Yinshan."

"Yes, but let Li Xiang of Longcheng stay here and not let Hu horses cross Yinshan!"

Someone also changed a poem by Li Chao and read it loudly, which attracted a group of people to applause. For many people, whoever has the title or territory is not much related to them. But Li Chao is different. Li Chao, the young prime minister, was known as the prime minister during the rescue, who destroyed locusts, resisted drought, and rescued disasters and hunger. He went north to defend against the Turks invasion in the south, and even reformed tax laws. For many people, they could personally feel the relationship.

It was just the disaster in the north in the past two years. Because of Li Chao's disaster relief strategy during the rescue, and his disaster relief food, I don't know how many lives they saved, but who didn't care. Many people's families have set up Li Xiang's longevity card and thank you every day.

The people actually know who is good and who is bad.

The powerful and powerful bureaucrats have no time to deal with these struggles for power and profits. But they have always remembered those good officials who have done practical things for the people.

Li Chao was promoted, Li Chao was promoted, Li Chao was rewarded, Li Chao's sons were awarded the title and the territory, they were just happy for Li Chao.

"Li Xiang is still so young and can give birth to ten or eight. If you make more contributions in the future, the Li family on the Bashang will be flourishing. Li Xiangyun, Wen Yun and Wu, are another generation of military gods or a generation of Wenzong, and the sons he taught in the future will definitely be as powerful as him. At that time, Li Xiang and his sons will go to the north to protect him for thirty or fifty years, and the Hu people will not dare to go south again."

"It's not so. Don't forget that Li Xiang's territory is located in the north of Langshan. There are three fiefs of three hundred miles and three surrendered cities. Judging from the name, it sounds so domineering and nice. The surrendered city is built, and it is specifically waiting for Hu Lai to surrender. With these three surrendered cities, how dare the Hu people invade the south?"

Someone has different opinions.

"After Li's generation of Wenzong, the Li family men will definitely learn literature in the future. Then, father and son, brothers, are all prime ministers, how great is it?"

"It's good to learn martial arts, learn martial arts to defend the frontiers, and defend the country."

"It's better to learn literature. When you study literature, you will be above the temple and the priest will rule the world."

In the crowd, a young man listened to everyone's fierce argument, shook his head with a smile, and then retreated. Several scribes and several followers followed closely behind him.

"Young Master, where are we going now?"

The young boy with a sword around his waist is obviously a rich young man.

"I heard that the Li family is going to hold an exam today?"

"Well, I received a notice yesterday that I wanted me to take the exam today and finally I would be admitted based on the exam results." The middle-aged man dressed in a scribe smiled.

A few days ago, he was ordered by the young man to sign up at the recruitment site of the Li family, and signed up as a scholar, and wanted to go to the Duke of Zhao. At that time, he showed his ability to settle accounts, and he wrote very well, so he passed the test on the spot.

I thought the recruitment of scholars from the Li family was quite simple, but unexpectedly, I received a notice yesterday that he had to take an exam. Before, he only passed the primary election, but he had to take the exam. After passing the re-examination, he had to choose the best candidates.

The boy smiled, "I really want to know what their exams look like. Let's go and have a look."

"Young Master, it's been a long time since we came out, so why not go back first."

"It's still early."

Several middle-aged scholars looked at each other and said in embarrassment, "There are many people in the Li family's examination room, and there are mixed together. Let's not go there, right?"

"What are you afraid of when there are too many people? This is Xiangyang City, under the feet of the emperor!" The young man said without hesitation.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"I said before coming out, call me young master and don't reveal my identity."

"Yes, young master."

"Let's go and see, you don't have to worry. There are so many guard masters around me, and I can really make trouble in this Xiangyang City? Besides, how can the Li family's examination room be in chaos? I know more than you about my teacher's behavior, and there will be no chaos."

This young man was Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Over the past year, Li Chengqian has less time to go out of the palace to play, and more often he stays in his Eastern Palace, learns Confucian classics, and learns to deal with political affairs. Every morning, he wakes up early, and first goes to the emperor's palace to pay tribute. Then, when the emperor is in the morning, he also sits under the emperor's stairs to listen to politics. He even reads memorials reviewed by the emperor every day, and is often asked to write his own opinions on some memorials.

If you have some time left, you have to shoot archery, ride horses, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It can be said that the time is full. If an ordinary boy had been bored with this kind of life, Cheng Qian had been persisting and made rapid progress.

Whether it is learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, shooting archery, riding horses, or learning to handle political affairs, he has performed beyond the maturity of his peers and is extremely excellent.

This also made the prince, who fell off his horse a year ago and made many officials secretly change his mind to change the throne, and won more praise from the government and the public.

However, occasionally, Chengqian would leave the palace for a walk.

Chengqian did not ride a horse or take a car, so he walked along the street, looking at the street shops and sometimes went to shops to ask about the price of goods, buy a newspaper, or chatted with people.

"Teacher should be in Xiangyang soon?"

"The latest news, Li Xiang had arrived in Chang'an yesterday. It is estimated that it will take less than a few days to leave Lantian Pass and then to Xiangyang."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "The teacher is worthy of being a teacher. Every time he goes out, it is a one-stop two, and there is nothing that the teacher can't handle. Look at this time, not only did he defeat the Turks, but he also killed Tuli and surrendered Yu Sheshi, and secretly instigated Mo Hedu. Who can get this skill?"

Several officials from the Eastern Palace nodded repeatedly.

"Li Xiang really made me admire him and provoke him."

Seeing that there was a candied haws sold in front, Li Chengqian went over and bought a few bunches.

Candied haws are not cheap. Although the sugar industry has been doing a lot in recent years and the sugar in the mainland of Datang has also been much cheaper, it is still quite expensive and ordinary people can't afford it.

The bright red candied haws are still only affordable for those rich children.

"Sister Xia Hua must like to eat it." Cheng Qian said with a smile.

Several officials from the Eastern Palace laughed. His Royal Highness the Prince had said he was ugly about his last wife, but now, His Royal Highness is really nice to the Li family Xia Huaniang. Every time he goes to the Li family, he must buy some delicious and fun things himself. Sometimes, he even makes some small snacks and toys for Xia Huaniang.

Now Xia Huaniang likes the prince. Every time she sees him, she must be the prince's brother and the prince's brother calling him, which is very sweet. Although Xia Huaniang is still very young, everyone thinks that the prince and Li Xiang's daughter are really a perfect match, and there is no more matching than them.

"It's the end of the year, and the streets are getting more and more lively." The prince sighed.

"The disaster has finally passed, and the Turkic people are also back in a mess. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone will definitely come out to visit and buy some New Year's goods and prepare to have a good New Year."

"Oh, I forgot to prepare some gifts for my newborn brother-in-law."

Cheng Qian suddenly said.

Several officials from the Eastern Palace looked helpless. The title of brother-in-law always makes people feel that it is a bit inconsistent with the identity and age of the prince.

"Then go buy gifts first, or go to the Li family exam room?"

"Forget it, go to the examination room first."

The Li family’s examination room is located in Nancheng, Xiangyang.

This is a re-examination specifically for scholars and a written examination.

Cheng Qian and his group came to the examination room and found that there were many scholars gathered here. These were scholars who had passed the Li family interview and the first exam. Each of them was the kind of scholar who not only knew literacy but also had a skill.

A guild hall was cleared out as an examination room. Outside the examination room, many servants from the Li family were guarding each other, with tables placed outside, and some people were sitting there.

"You have to check the admission ticket when you go in."

"What admission ticket?" Cheng Qian asked.

"Oh, when they informed me of the exam, they gave me a voucher, which stated my name, origin, age, and a simple portrait of me, which was accompanied by a description of my appearance and facial features. To enter the examination room, this admission ticket must be presented."

Cheng Qian nodded, it was very styled by the Li family.

He originally wanted to sneak into the exam room, but now it seems that there is no show.

He smacked his tongue, a little regretful.
