Chapter 135 Three Books

After listening to Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin's words, Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a while and suddenly spat: "Sure enough, those who know the words are not good people. If you cheat and use tricks, you are even more ill-hearted than my old Chengxin. What is this? You are cunning, right? You said you are not old now... Alas, it seems that I, Cheng, should be careful in the future."

After saying a word, everyone, including Li Shimin, looked dark. Even Qin Qiong and Duan Zhixuan, were both people who knew how to read. And wasn’t Cheng Yaojin also literate? The first time he saw someone cursing himself, even he scolded himself! However, Cheng Yaojin seemed to be unaware of it. After saying that, he was so proud that he hummed at everyone.

Too lazy to pay attention to this stuffed man, Li Shimin glared at him fiercely and then looked at Zhang Xuanqing: "Zhang Zhenren, I have always called the real person, but I have always forgotten to give the real person a title. Today, I ordered the Turks to withdraw their troops, and the real person should be the first to be the master. When I go back, I will definitely read the Taoist scriptures and enfeoff the real person. Or what kind of magic number do I have for the real person? I will definitely draw an edict to spread it to the world and correct the real person's name!"

In ancient times, the title of real person was not something that everyone could call, and it had to be granted by the emperor. Of course, it would not be so strict if it was put into practice. If a person's reputation was great enough, the people would not procurate the officials, and some people would praise the real person. Just like Zhang Xuanqing now, before he received the imperial title, he would be unjustified. However, even Li Shimin called him real person, and there would be no big difference between the imperial title or not.

Zhang Xuanqing was happy. He was finally leaving the ranks of scammers in the world. He was about to pretend to refuse and accept it. Li Shimin suddenly changed his voice: "By the way, Zhenren Zhang, you were captured by Wang Bin, the magistrate of Chang'an County, and was brought to the battlefield by Yang Nanzhi, a few months ago, and you were injured at the hands of Cao Envoy Renyong. I have known this matter for a long time, but the last time I met, I forgot to mention it to Zhenren. Now that Yang Zhengren is dead, Deputy Chief Cao has been demoted to me, only Wang Bin, who has made me a contribution, has not been dealt with. I see you again today. I don't know how Zhenren wants to deal with him?"

How to deal with it? Is this asking me how to deal with him, or how could a "exiled immortal" get hurt?

As the title of "real person" has been mentioned more and more often, Zhang Xuanqing is inevitably sensitive to things. However, he thought about it and was injured and quilted. Who said that "exiled immortal" cannot be injured? Besides, it is just a real person title! Can we not like it?

"Your Majesty is out of your way. The county magistrate was also impartially enforcing the law. Moreover, he no longer had the county government office that day, and he had no mistakes when he was closed to me for a night. Since he had made contributions to Your Majesty, he would give me the best rewards. Don't let me lose my heart. I was injured, and it was because I was not good at doing it. But there is another thing. May I ask Your Majesty, what's going on now that day?" Zhang Xuanqing changed the topic without hesitation.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and laughed: "I have heard of this. It is said that the Taoist is also surnamed Zhang? Or is it the successor of the Jade Emperor? Real person, are there really emperors in the immortal world?"

"That's for sure, not only the emperor, but also the Queen Mother. Well... I heard from my child." Cheng Yaojin interrupted in an inappropriate manner, and was glared at by Li Shimin, and finally his voice became smaller and smaller.

Fang Xuanling saw this and said, "Actually, I am quite curious about the affairs of gods and immortals. I heard rumors from the world that the real person was exiled to the immortals and the ordinary people. I wonder if it was true?" He pulled the topic back.

The other Gao Shilian, Du Ruhui, Duan Zhixuan also spoke one by one, and even Li Ji, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanche who came later asked more or less. At this time, the Turkic army retreated, and the remaining teams were also watched and put into the city. Because they were afraid that the Turkic army would return, half of the Tang soldiers and horses brought out were left and half to defend Li Shimin. Li Ji, Hou Junji, and Xue Wanche had a high position, so they were naturally listed by Li Shimin. The only one who did not speak was Qin Qiong.

Everyone's purpose was very obvious, and they could not escape a test after talking. Zhang Xuanqing knew it very well and laughed: "Don't ask, I am just a common man, and all the banished immortals are all rumors. As for the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother... it's just a story, fake, all fake, so you don't have to believe it!"

Since the beginning, Zhang Xuanqing has never admitted that the story he told is true. He is so good at Liu Shenwei, Yuan Tiangang, and the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty in front of him. He is not the opposite, and he knows that there are many loopholes in the stories he tells and cannot stand scrutiny at all. However, the people who came into contact with him were influenced by his "erudition" at the beginning and subconsciously willing to believe him. Later, the people became more and more preached by the people, and thus he was labeled as a "exiled immortal".

Li Shimin and the king and his ministers looked at each other. If Zhang Xuanqing admitted shamelessly, they might still doubt it. But human nature is inherently cheap. The more you say no, the more they feel it is. Now Zhang Xuanqing said it was not easy to say it, but they felt that Zhang Xuanqing was perfunctory. He frowned slightly, and Li Shimin said: "Can I even believe me in the real person?"

How can you reason with this? No one believes that he fooled people and even told the truth? Zhang Xuanqing smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt bored. He quickly passed the things he fooled people in recent years in his mind. He couldn't help but think, is this kind of life really what he wants?

"Real person?Real person?" Seeing that Zhang Xuanqing dared to be distracted when facing Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others hurriedly woke him up.

There was nothing wrong with Li Shimin's expression over there, and he laughed and said, "Forget it, forgot! Since the real person doesn't want to say it, then let's go back first. Come on, today the real person will be the first to be the master of his merits and go back to the palace for dinner with me. I also want to drink and have fun with you all!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling and others saluted.

Zhang Xuan came to his senses and shook his head quickly and said, "Your Majesty has a banquet, so there is no need to take me with you. To be honest, I came here to bridge the bridge, one is to resolve this disaster, two is to give Your Majesty a gift, and the third is to say goodbye to Your Majesty."

"The real person is leaving?" Li Shimin was surprised. He heard that Zhang Xuanqing was going to give him a gift, but he wanted to say that it was the best gift for him to withdraw the Turks today. But then he heard that Zhang Xuanqing was going to leave, so he didn't care about saying beautiful words for a while and asked directly.

Zhang Xuanqing nodded. At this time, Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and others were also looking at him. He saw him take off the bag he had been carrying, reached out to take out three books, and handed it to Li Shimin: "This is the gift I want to give to Your Majesty. All of them are from my perspective in the early years. I thought that I would have some effect on Your Majesty's rule, officials, people, and academics, so I came down silently to give it to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can take a look in my spare time. If it is helpful to Your Majesty, it will be a waste of my hard work."

Three books?

Governing the country, governing officials, governing the people, governing academics?

Such a big tone?

Li Shimin was surprised.
