The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin did not answer, so he tidied up his robe, came to the bottom of the stairs and gave Li Shimin a big salute, once again emphasizing that he hoped that this master could enter the court as an official, and there was a hint of questioning in his tone.

Previously, Fang Xuanling had a gentleman's enthusiasm for learning from a master, but at this moment, his earnestness was not only out of personal ambition, but he sincerely believed that such talents should be reused by the imperial court. He looked up at Li Er suspiciously, and the doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart were fully revealed: Why didn't His Majesty invite such an awesome character out of the mountain as soon as possible?

Li Er's face was embarrassed, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. He is well aware of his son's talent, and he also longs for him to serve in the court, but because of his special status - his own flesh and blood, if he is directly introduced into the court, I am afraid it will cause an uproar. Li Er tried to change the topic: "Xuan Ling, you also know that these masters have their own pursuits, and they often disdain the ...... of secular officialdom."

However, Fang Xuanling refuted Li Er with the story of Liu Bei's visit to Zhuge Liang, and urged him to show sincerity to invite this mysterious son to the court.

Li Er smiled bitterly in his heart, he had already been there twice, but the objective conditions did not allow it, and Ge'er kept claiming that he wanted to be an idle prince, which made Li Er feel helpless and a little funny.

Fang Xuanling had a resolute attitude and said unceremoniously: "If this person does not enter the court for a day, it will be revealed that His Majesty does not know anyone one day." "

In the face of Fang Xuanling's insistence and questioning, Li Er was surprised, and didn't understand why Fang Xuanling was so persistent in this matter, and even forced him to die, asking to visit this master in person, and vowed that if Li Er did not agree, he was willing to die on the Manna Palace.

This scene made Li Er feel confused, thinking that other emperors were worried about the ruling ability of the crown prince after he succeeded to the throne, and whether the ministers were loyal. And when it came to himself, it was the courtiers who were eager to pull the son of "someone else" into the court to assist him. This reversal made Li Er cry and laugh, but he had to seriously think about how to properly handle this matter, not only to save the royal face, but also to meet Fang Xuanling's request, and also to consider how to guide his son into the political arena and make greater contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er tried to ease the atmosphere: "Xuan Ling, you calm down first, we can discuss this matter slowly......

However, Fang Xuanling's attitude was resolute, his eyes were round, his beard was open, like an angry lion, and he interrupted Li Er's words without backing down: "Your Majesty forgives me, this matter will never be retreated!"

Seeing this, Li Er had no choice but to agree to take Fang Xuanling to see Ge'er. But just as this thought passed through his mind, another voice came from outside the Ganlu Palace: "Your Majesty, Weichen Wei Zheng is here, please go with me." "

As soon as Li Er heard this, he immediately understood that Wei Zheng was also eavesdropping on their conversation outside, and he felt unhappy in his heart. He wanted to have a seizure, but he could only suppress his anger and order Wei Zheng to come in.

Wei Zheng quickly went inside to bow down, asked to go with him again, and explained that he was outside because he had a new way to settle the victims, and he didn't want to disturb His Majesty's decision-making, but since Fang Xuanling was going to see the mysterious son, he also wanted to go with him. In the face of Li Er's questioning of his eavesdropping behavior outside the palace, Wei Zheng calmly expressed his willingness to accept any punishment, just to be able to see the demeanor of this mysterious son.

Li Er looked at the two stubborn ministers in front of him, completely stunned, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: What kind of medicine did these guys take today? Even Wei Zheng, who has always been outspoken and admonished and nicknamed "Wei Troll", insisted on it, which made Li Er quite helpless.

"Wei Zheng, are you going to start challenging my bottom line again?" Li Er asked angrily, "Do people want to see you and say something else, you ......

".

Wei Zheng did not hesitate to express his determination, willing to meet this prince with the most humble attitude, even if he was not invited, he would bear the guilt, and all the consequences would be borne by himself.

Li Er was finally defeated at the firm request of the two important ministers, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you won, I agree to go together! You are all awesome, I admit defeat!" When the two heard this, they immediately thanked the emperor, thanked the emperor, and wished the emperor longevity and Tianqi, and blessings for all generations.

Li Er had a headache and waved his hand to interrupt their praise: "Shut up! Hurry up and get ready to go!" At this moment, Li Er deeply felt that the enthusiasm of his courtiers for national affairs and the degree of attention to this mysterious prince were far beyond his imagination.

......

After a while, Du Ruhui also stepped into the brightly lit manna hall.

The event of the day was not limited to the novelty of potatoes, but also to the thousands of victims who were in urgent need of resettlement. So, on this special day, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, together with the important ministers Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, launched an in-depth and protracted discussion on the resettlement of the victims, until the moonlight sank into the sky and passed for another hour, before ending in exhaustion and satisfaction.

Chang'an City was quiet and deep, and the three ministers slowly walked out of the palace gate.

Fang Xuanling suddenly mentioned: "This son, whom Your Majesty admires, is indeed a rare genius in the world, and his wisdom and achievements are comparable to those of land immortals. Brother Keming, why do you always refuse to reveal his identity?".

Du Ruhui asked rhetorically: "Everyone will be able to see him in a few days, what else can you guess in advance?" but...... What do you think, what do you think of this master?".

Fang Xuanling knew that there was no need to say anything about the evaluation of the mysterious son. In his heart, this man's intelligence is far superior to his own, and he even asks to see him even by death.

Wei Zheng was more steady, and after thinking for a moment, he responded: "Discover and improve the potato cultivation method, innovate the pig breeding technology, and refine the elixir for typhoid fever." In my opinion, his knowledge and ability are far superior to mine. If I am a Taoist disciple but only a little Taoist boy, then this son is undoubtedly a first-class figure of immortals. "

Du Ruhui smiled and said nothing, and asked: "What else?" Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were slightly stunned, and immediately understood that Du Ruhui meant that if this son stepped into the official career, I am afraid that he would reproduce the legend of Ganluo worshipping the prime minister at the age of nine, and the official position would not be under them, and it was expected that he would even become the prime minister one day.

Wei Zheng's next words were even more shocking: "The techniques studied by this son are all for the country and the people, and the results are remarkable. If he had been born decades earlier, perhaps my Wei Zheng would not be following His Majesty today. Being in a high position, some thoughts can only be hidden deep in the heart, and although Li Shimin is approachable, it still seems quite offensive to be so outspoken.

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he immediately frowned and glared at Wei Zheng, "Xuancheng, although his words are contrary to his ears, it is really inappropriate to speak like this. "

However, Du Ruhui did not blame, but laughed loudly: "Brother Xuan Cheng's words are really not considered, but ......think about it from another angle" He stopped talking, his eyes flashed with cunning and expectation, "After a while, the problem that Brother Xuan Cheng is talking about now may no longer be a problem." "
