At this time, Li Linfu, the left minister, came out and said: "Your Majesty, our country in the Tang Dynasty has no borders, and there are countless capable people in the country. It is not difficult to find a guest from the prince to teach the prince."

Li Longji was depressed in his heart. Although he kept Wang Changling, the ministers would definitely say in private that there was no one in the country. Otherwise, they would not have kept such a frail old man in the capital. Hearing what Li Linfu said, he was overjoyed. "Li Aiqing, according to you, who is suitable for this position," he nodded at the same time. Li Aiqing knows me well, so he speaks to my heart.

Then I heard Li Linfu say: "He Zhizhang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, can take up this position."

Li Longji also knew his talent and reputation, but he didn't expect that he was still a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He nodded and said: "Then tell me why he is suitable for my son."

Li Linfu then played: "Your Majesty, he has recently composed a poem called "Early Spring Presents Li Chenxiang". The Emperor will comment on the work after listening to it. The jasper is made up to be as high as a tree, and thousands of green silk ribbons are hanging down, not knowing the thin leaves. Who cuts it out, the spring breeze in February is like scissors,"

Li Longji was overjoyed when he heard him finish reading: "Yes, his poems are so fresh and fresh. He must be a well-educated and elegant man. He can know the rest from a glimpse of a leopard. So according to Aiqing's instructions, he conferred congratulations on Zhizhang as the guest of the prince, and he will take office immediately."

A low-level official like He Zhizhang was not qualified to go to court at all, so he could only be passed down by Huangmen Shilang. From this moment on, He Zhizhang got the opportunity to get close to the royal family and occupy a place in the poetry circle of the Tang Dynasty. Li Linfu, Although he is a bad person most of the time, in this case, he has some merit.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to report," Li Linfu said immediately.

Li Longji said: "I love you, just say it."

Li Linfu said: "I have reported to the emperor in advance the affairs of the new Huangmen Shilang in the Tang Dynasty. Please give the emperor a topic to see if he is worthy of this position."

Li Longji smiled and said: "Thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot about this. Huangmen Shilang and I are inseparable, and he is the official closest to me. When he takes office, I must personally consider it to determine the pros and cons. Where is the Tang Dynasty? "

It turned out that Li Linfu was jealous of virtuous people. After he summoned Tang Chao to his house that day and saw that he could compose such good music and lyrics, he was already jealous of him, but seeing that he was young. , I didn’t take it too seriously, thinking to myself, if Princess Yuzhen recommends someone like him to be the high-ranking minister of Huangmen, there must be many people in the court who are dissatisfied. I can’t refuse the princess’ favor, and I don’t dare to talk to the princess. If you go against it, there is no problem in agreeing to let Tang Chao be a Huangmen servant, but you can make some mistakes for him and ask Zhang Jiazheng to pretend to teach him what to do, but secretly not teach him the real thing. When the time comes, he will make a fool of himself. I know that the emperor is very difficult to answer many of the questions asked. As long as his answers are slightly unsatisfactory, you can ask the emperor to eliminate him. In this way, not only is there less of an implicit threat, but also the princess is given enough It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

When Li Linfu saw Tang Chao knelt down in a hurry, with his legs shaking a little, he sneered in his heart: Huh, this guy plagiarized some crooked words from somewhere. Let me see if you can do what you did then in front of the emperor. The best words come.

In fact, in Li Lin and Du Fu's heart, he knew that the Tang Dynasty would definitely be on his side in the future, but as soon as the lyrics of the song in the Tang Dynasty were revealed, he became suspicious. It can be said that he was a sensitive person. Selfish political master.

"I'm here," Tang Chao said with a trembling voice.

Li Longji looked down at his face condescendingly. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Not bad, haha, but it's a pity that he is a bit young."

At this moment, Tang Chao felt a kind of oppression, and his heart trembled. If I blindly act weak, it does not seem to be in line with the emperor's taste, so I simply gave up. I thought, even if I can't serve as a high-ranking official in Tang Chao, I I can still return to Nanzhao and be my Shangzhu Kingdom, deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. I can still have unlimited glory, so why should I be angry with Li Longji?

After such a change of heart, Tang Chao responded and said: "Your Majesty, you have ambitions but not your age, and you have talent but your hair does not have to be gray. Although your subordinates are young, they are confident that they can take on this position."

As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials in the entire court were shocked. This Tang Dynasty was so bold that it could say such big words in front of the emperor.

Li Longji was furious when he heard this: "Oh, I can't tell, but you think highly of yourself."

The Tang Dynasty said proudly: "Please ask the emperor to propose a question."

Li Longji laughed three times and thought to himself, I have never met such a boy before. Even Li Bai back then didn't dare to be so arrogant towards me. Haha, could it be that, as he said, he really has extraordinary talents? , pondered for a moment, he must come up with a difficult question, otherwise, this kid will be advantaged.

Suddenly, a plan came to his mind and he said: "I have something that I put in a brocade box that I want to give to Concubine Yang. Please make a trip for me and get back here within a note of incense. Excuse me, Can it be done?"

The Tang Dynasty was very happy. It was less than ten miles from here to Yuzhen Temple. As soon as he left the court, there was a chariot waiting for him. He could rush back within a minute of incense. That would be no problem. He happily replied: " Thank you, Your Majesty, I can do it."

Li Longji winked at Gao Lishi behind him and told him to put whatever he wanted into the brocade box.

As soon as Tang Chao stood up, Gao Lishi put the brocade box into his hands and asked him to go on his way.

Tang Chao took it, didn't dare to linger any longer, turned around and left.

You could hear the needle drop in the court, and pairs of eyes were staring at him. They didn't know why the emperor gave him such a simple question, but some of them thought that the emperor had many tricks, and he might not let him go so easily. This arrogant boy.

Tang Chao was worried all the way. He had offended the emperor just now. Did he really give him such an easy question?

He couldn't help but think too much, he had already carried the brocade box along the stairs to the palace gate.

Sixteen soldiers lined up at the door and stood straight. Tang Chao had no intention of looking at these people and kept his head down as he hurried on.

"Wait a minute," a Fangtian painted halberd suddenly appeared in front of Tang Chao, blocking his way.

Tang Chao looked up in surprise and saw one of the soldiers blocking him. He was furious, "Damn it, your grandma, I have to do something for the emperor in a hurry, but you blocked my way and shouted: "Get out of the way, I'm here to do something for you. The emperor sent a brocade box, which wasted time, can you afford it?"

The soldier laughed and said, "Master Tang, the imperial court has not yet dispersed. According to the court's rules, no matter what happens to you, you cannot leave this house without the emperor's personal approval."

"Oh, I forgot about this," I thought in shock. Oops, I've been delayed a lot. It seems I have to run back and ask Li Longji to show me the approval document.

But the strange thing is that just when Tang Chao wanted to re-enter the court, the guard stopped him again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, the emperor has ordered that all ministers who have left the inner court are not allowed to return to the court without any reason."

Suddenly, the Tang Dynasty was neither going to advance nor not. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He suddenly pulled out his sword and chopped off a guard's head with one blow. Blood flowed all over the ground and he ran away in conflict.

You know, although the Tang Dynasty was not very courageous, after all, it participated in several wars in Nanzhao and experienced the test of blood and fire. Recently, I have gained a lot of insights from studying the "Kuocang Mountain Martial Arts". Dealing with these imperial guards is not a big deal. At least, he should have no problem protecting himself.

This incident was so unexpected that several other people were stunned by the sudden change.

Tang Chao took this opportunity to rush towards the parking place of the carriage. By the time the soldiers came to their senses and chased them out, Tang Chao was already far away and did not know what to do.

It turned out that Li Longji was extremely scheming. While he ordered Tang Chao to go out to deliver the brocade box, he ordered the guards not to let him out. The soldier who was killed just now dared to stop Tang Chao after receiving the order.

Tang Chao, with blood splattered on his body, rushed to Zhuan Xin and said, "Quickly, let's go."

Zhuan Xin didn't have time to ask what happened in the Tang Dynasty, but after seeing such a situation, he knew that the matter must be serious, so he drove away with a shout.

Along the way, Tang Chaocai mentioned Li Longji's topic. Zhuxin was anxious and galloped on his horse to see if the Yuzhen Temple was in sight.

As soon as they arrived at Yuzhen Temple, Tang Chao rushed in with the brocade box in hand.

When he met Qin'er, he quickly asked: "Where is your empress? Take me there quickly."

Regardless of whether she wanted to or not, he grabbed her hand and said, "Quick,"

Qin'er blushed in shock, thinking that it was very inappropriate for a grown man to hold the hand of a nun like him, but she threw her twice symbolically and couldn't get away, so she let him hold her, and Fang Xin Ke Ke unexpectedly It was because of the little deer in his heart that he pulled Tang Chao in in a daze.

I don’t know how many times I walked around the house before Qin’er scolded: “Let go, if you don’t let me go, I’ll see you.”

Only then did Tang Chao let her go apologetically. Looking at the scarlet palm prints on her hands, he felt quite sorry. He knew that since Qin'er said this, it meant that Concubine Yang Guifei was here.

Sure enough, Yang Yuhuan's voice was heard: "Who is it? The one running so out of breath, is it Qin'er?"

Qin'er said loudly: "Yes,"

"I knew it was you." Yang Guifei's beautiful face appeared from the curtain. It had a kind of solemn beauty and looked very much like Guanyin Bodhisattva. "Hey, why are you here too?"

She then saw the panting Tang Chao.

Without saying a word, Tang Chao put the brocade box in Yang Yuhuan's hand and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, when the time comes the emperor asks me if I have given this brocade box to you, you must give it to me. It proves that otherwise, not only will Huangmen fail to become a minister, but his life may also be in danger."

"Why?" Concubine Yang wiped his sweat with concern, using a small sachet in her hand.
