"Here I'm here, it's indeed the Lord of Bohai..."

"Strange, why is he a bald man? He is a dignified prince, and he can be regarded as one of thousands of people. Even if he doesn't pay attention to his clothes, he must at least take into account his image. Could it be that he has a special hobby that makes him shaved into a bald man?"

"Don't ask, you will be beaten if you ask. This prince has a bad temper. He doesn't make much sense. Don't blame me for not warning you. Please extinguish the curiosity in your eyes..."

"Is the little girl he held in one hand in his arms the new recruit? She looks like a little girl from a poor family. The poor family's children are so knowledgeable, even if they use their hearts to train, they are very useful. I really can't figure out how this prince's eyed him. Don't he know that there are countless wealthy families in our Tang Dynasty who want to worship him as his teacher?"

The person who said this was a young official who seemed a little arrogant because he was young. He was arrogant and had the capital to be arrogant because he was young and wore a fifth-rank official uniform.

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there were about 10,000 officials. This was all the staff members who were on the job. Everyone could receive their salary. However, in addition to the officials who received their salary, there were also mixed scholars and officials in the Tang Dynasty. If the total number of people was calculated, then there were about 40,000 officials in the country.

For more than 40,000 people who have paid salaries are only qualified to enter the court by the fifth rank or above. How many officials are there in the entire court with the fifth rank or above? There are only 1,500 people.

These 1,500 people have to be counted as prime ministers like Fang Xuanling, as well as Hejian princes like Li Xiaogong, and even Li Shimin's princes have to be counted, so everyone has such a few numbers together.

Being from the fifth rank is a hurdle. Being a fifth rank official is already a big shot in the court.

The young official who was just talking just now was less than 30 years old, and his appearance was at most in his early twenties. At such a young age, he had already entered the court. Such a thing would appear arrogant when he put it on anyone, because he really had the capital to be arrogant.

After commenting on Li Yun, this person immediately spoke again: "Although the Lord of Bohai is a royal family, his position as a prince was granted by the Tang Dynasty. Since he is a prince of the Tang Dynasty, he has the responsibility to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. He puts in excellent materials but does not accept them, but instead goes to collect peasant girls. This matter is absolutely not enough. I must advise him. It is said that he will only collect nine disciples, and the remaining quotas are not many, and there are not many places, but it is still a waste. The official cannot ignore this matter. I will definitely argue with the Lord of Bohai."

"hiss!"

An old official next to him gasped and said in surprise: "I heard it right just now, are you actually going to argue with the Lord of Bohai?"

"good!"

The young official looked proud and seemed to be a man with a strong heart. He said seriously: "I am Cui Hao, Haoran is righteous. Since I have entered the court as an official, I must ask for the people..."

"sharp!"

The old official gave a thumbs up and praised insincerely: "It is indeed a talent in the new court. I admire you and admire you!" Suddenly, he changed his tone and said, "But, please stay away from me, please sit in another place!"

"What do you mean?"

Cui Hao blinked his eyes, and said a little unhappy: "I think you are not young and are a fourth-rank official. If you are sorted by the court, you are even my Shangguan. Are you not even so strong that you can watch the Bohai Lord waste his quota for disciples?"

As he said that he seemed to burst out with blood, his face suddenly became solemn and said righteously: "The saint said that he would kill himself to be kind and sacrifice his life to be righteous. We are also a court official. How could we shrink back when we see unreasonable things? Could it be that we have read all the books into the dog's belly?"

"Hahahaha!"

The old official glanced at him and opened his mouth with all his front teeth. The old man had a very smooth temper and didn't care about the young man's criticism of him at all. He just smiled and said, "I have a backbone, and I have never read books in the dog's belly, but please stay away from me, I don't want to sit with you now."

"What do you mean?" Cui Hao looked angry.

"It's not interesting, I just don't want to sit with you! Otherwise, I might make the Lord of Bohai angry. When he beat you, I was afraid of jumping to my body..."

Cui Hao was slightly stunned, his tone became curious, and he blinked his eyes and asked, "Is it true that the Lord of Bohai is really so unreasonable?"

"Haha, it's not unreasonable!" The old official looked at him again and explained with a smile: "It's just that his reasoning is too hard, and it's easy to suffer losses when reasoning with him..."

As he said that, he suddenly reached out and patted Cui Hao on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "I heard that your surname is Cui. Could it be that he is from the Cui family in Qinghe? You were a local official before and should have just been transferred to the court. I secretly taught you how to be good and never talk to the Bohai Kingdom. Remember, the way to be an official is to follow your heart."

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Cui Hao immediately retorted, and even felt a little indignant, saying, "If we are a scholar, listen to the teachings of sages. Even if there are swords and fires ahead, we should have the spirit of thousands of people going there. Even if he is a prince of the Tang Dynasty, I will not be afraid!"

The words are so strong that they make people feel very passionate about it. Although the old official is slick, he feels that he should encourage this young man.

But before he could speak, Cui Hao suddenly changed his words.

But seeing Cui Hao still looked upright, but the words in his mouth changed their meaning and said, "However, I can be transferred from the local government to the court. It is said that it is because of this title. If he had not overthrew the Wang family in Taiyuan, there would definitely be so many positions in the court. I was lucky enough to enter the court because of him. I must know how to be grateful, otherwise what is the difference between it and beasts? As a scholar of the Cui family, I must not argue with my benefactor..."

These words are still strong, but the taste in them is surprising.

The old official stared at Cui Hao in a daze, and after a long time, he said blankly: "In other words, you are not going to argue with the Lord of Bohai?"

Cui Hao looked serious and said solemnly: "He is the benefactor of the court to become an official. How can I take advantage of the matter of gratitude and revenge?"

"Bah!"

The old official spat suddenly, spitting on Cui Hao's face and said angrily: "I'm still worried about you, for fear that you will cause big trouble if you are young and ignorant. I didn't expect that you will be a donkey with good intentions. No one in your aristocratic family is good. At a young age, he is treacherous and slick. I have been an official in the court for forty years and almost can't compare to you, a young boy."

Cui Hao's righteous words finally disappeared. On the contrary, he laughed twice, suddenly rubbed his big hands, and said in his eyes: "Didn't you just say that you are the first to be an official in the court. Those who follow the heart are cowards. It's good to be cowardly. Only by being cowardly can you avoid causing trouble..."

"Get out of here!" The old official was so angry that his face was bulging, and his eyes glared at Cui Hao fiercely, and said, "If I hadn't had some personal relationship with you, Cui, I would have to beat you up today for disrespecting your elders."

"Hehehehe!" Cui Hao rubbed his hands again and said shamelessly: "If you hadn't known that you had a good relationship with Cui, I wouldn't have asked you to help me perform this scene just now. You might not have noticed it yet. When I was just speaking righteously, Your Majesty looked at us specifically. Although it was not worth mentioning, I began to pay attention after all."

"Get out and stay!"

The old official scolded again and suddenly lowered his voice: "Sit up and stop talking, the Lord of Bohai has arrived. If you act, don't act in front of him, otherwise I have to be unlucky. Wang Si of the Wang family in Taiyuan was so capable that he could destroy the entire family. Although you, Cui family in Qinghe is also a giant, it is still useless to offend the Lord of Bohai..."

Cui Hao felt a little nervous and nodded quickly and said, "I understand."

As expected, he stopped talking and closed his mouth tightly, but his eyes turned sharply, and he sneaked up his head to peek at Li Yun's figure.

...

Li Yun walked slowly, as if he was idle and shopping, but no one dared to think that he was shopping, and all the officials of the Tang Dynasty quietly observed him.

Everyone saw the Tang Dynasty prince holding a little girl with one hand, followed by a pretty and unparalleled young woman, and a ragged man behind her, the man was carrying a pale and thin woman on his back.

Suddenly, several ministers shrank their pupils and stared at Li Yun's other hand, but they saw that they were holding two bloody heads in their hands, and it seemed that they had just been taken off by Li Yun.

"This prince is indeed a ruthless character!" Several ministers subconsciously swallowed their saliva, looked at each other and gave a wink, and said in secret: "Every time he appears, he either goes to war or kills people!"

The wink was not about agreeing to participate in Li Yun's interview, but instead warned each other not to be too much. Because of the shock that the head Li Yun was holding, he ignored the baldness on Li Yun's forehead.

Li Shimin was also a little confused by Li Yun's posture, but when he saw the emperor watching Li Yun approaching with curiosity, he suddenly stared at the head in his hand and asked, "You little brat, who have you killed?"

A bang!

Li Yun still put his head on the ground.

At this time, he was fifty or sixty steps away from Li Shimin and ten steps away from the open space where the Tang Dynasty opened a simple court meeting. However, he stood on the edge of the open space and stopped moving forward. He just bent down and bowed respectfully, and still held the little girl Hong'er in his arms. He said to Li Shimin very respectfully: "Your Majesty, Li Yun, the lord of Bohai Kingdom, is here to see you. It is difficult to perform etiquette. You still beg your Majesty to atone for your sins. Don't blame me for your fault."

"You little brat, what are you playing with!"

Li Shimin was obviously stunned, and said with a little confusion: "Why are you standing on the edge of the venue? Why don't you come over?"

Li Yun coughed lightly and said solemnly: "I just finished killing someone, I dare not hit you."

The more he was obedient, the more curious Li Shimin felt. The civil and military officials present were also very curious, as if they had known this powerful Bohai king for the first time.

Li Shimin suddenly looked at the two heads with great meaning, and frowned and asked, "Where are these two people, why are they killed, and why are they dead?"

The emperor asked four questions, but they were actually two questions.

Li Yun did not hesitate and solemnly replied: "Liar, it's time to kill!"

"So it's a villain..."

Li Shimin seemed to realize it suddenly and nodded and said, "Since he is a villain, killing him is just a righteous act. This matter is not considered a collision with the emperor. The lord of Bohai can enter the court to discuss matters."

Only then did Li Yun raise his foot again and hug the little girl into the open space.
