Chapter 46: A chance to win in one step
"If you can become an official this year, it's best to solve it as soon as possible, or delay it for another year and wait for the year after next."
"The storm has already begun, and your small bodies cannot withstand it."
Zhou Qingdu did not clearly point out what happened, but he also directly informed Li and Du what danger would happen next.
"I didn't see the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology coming to Xiaodao to test this inexplicable existence like me. Do you have any other ideas or have you made any bets?"
He Zhizhang's coming here is not just the decision of one force. This old and strong He Gongbu has many people behind him. Many forces also need such a middle ground, so many of his actions are tacitly approved.
Even the saint in the palace, after obtaining the Taoist scriptures, felt some benefits after practicing, but he did not have the slightest trust in Zhou Qingdu, and sent He Zhizhang to investigate head-on.
p>
I want to know what the thoughts of such an extraordinary young Taoist priest are like.
It's hard to say anything else, but He Zhizhang's pair of eyes, which he has cultivated in the officialdom for so many years, are really powerful. He can tell everything about anyone by just observing them.
At that time, he was selected as the current Crown Prince and Tutor, and it was also due to this ability.
After hearing that his motives were exposed by Zhou Qingdu, the 60-year-old man's face did not change, and he still had a faint smile, as if nothing had happened.
Judging from this calm state and the appearance of not caring about the other side at all, Li and Du knew that they were not even qualified to get started in the officialdom.
"The saint is increasingly thinking about changing the position of the prince, and he also wants to make some changes in the current situation of the court."
"I'm getting old and won't hold on much longer..."
"Now that the situation is stable, another person like you, Master Qingdu, has appeared who has the ability to disrupt the situation. It is normal for all parties to entrust me to investigate."
"Master, didn't you already know that, so you allowed me to follow these two wise brothers?"
After realizing that Zhou Qingdu had revealed his position and identity, He Zhizhang has been exploring the intentions of this real person who has absolutely extraordinary magical powers and unfathomable knowledge and wisdom.
However, until now, he has not been able to truly judge this person's thoughts. The only thing he can clearly perceive is that he does not seem to have much awe for the court, the saints, or even the Tang Dynasty.
This is extremely rare. Even if many practitioners are really lawless, none of them can truly eliminate this kind of awe from the environment to the instillation of thoughts like this real person. But in He Zhizhang's view, Zhou Qing
They are all such beings who have absolutely no respect for the imperial court.
He may be very rational and very wise, but he is also extremely rebellious and extremely dangerous!
'In the future, this real person must never be allowed to meet alone with any noble person, otherwise what will happen...it may be hard to say!'
After realizing that Zhou Qingdu had no king at all, He Zhizhang already understood that the current battle for the crown prince and the changes in the court situation might not lead to his fate.
Unless...the world is in chaos, this young real person will choose to be born.
However, the world has been at peace for a long time. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, not only has the harvest been bumper every year, but it can be considered stable and healthy. It is the time when the world is at peace. I am afraid that there will be no possibility of this person being born.
Rather, spreading Taoism may be the reason why this young master is willing to spread such life-extending methods.
It is difficult for outsiders to know the thoughts in his heart, but He Zhizhang also knows very well that he has too little contact now, and what he can detect is only one-sided.
To truly know such a wise and profound person, one has to go through many years, or he has done many things in the world and is constantly analyzed by wise people in the world. Otherwise, who can say that he has truly and comprehensively understood everything about a person?
...
The conversation between Zhou Qingdu and He Zhizhang did allow Li and Du to truly understand some of the operating methods of the Chang'an court. They did not expect that there were so many purposes behind just a visit to friends.
"Brother He has a heavy responsibility, but we two know nothing about it..."
Li Taibai also spoke unhappily, but Zhou Qingdu glanced at him angrily.
"You can't even understand the things that are on the surface."
"To say you are a fire stick, Xiaodao is overestimating you!"
Hearing the comment about "burning fire sticks" again, Li Taibai could no longer keep his face. His face turned red with embarrassment. He couldn't help but run to the side, picked up a jar of wine he had brought, and began to drink away his sorrows.
.
Fortunately, the fine wines brought here are all cellar wines that have been filtered and then sealed.
Otherwise, Taibai will have to take a sip of rice grains at this time.
But even so, a large mouthful of wine entered his throat, which also brought a refreshing burning sensation, allowing him to finally dissipate the depression in his chest.
"It's the same sentence..."
"If you really want to enter an official career, go to the frontier and join General Wang Zhongsi's command. You can serve as a soldier, a drinker, or a vanguard. You have a strong aura of sour Confucianism, and no matter how cool and unrestrained you are, you can't hide it."
Hearing Zhou Qingdu mention this matter again, Li Taibai, who was still hesitant in his heart, suddenly made a decision.
Since this Taoist master has mentioned this again and again, it means that maybe there is a glimmer of hope for his official career, which is in the military formation, so what is there to hesitate about?
It is the tradition of the Tang Dynasty to show generals and ministers.
Since there can be predecessors, there can also be successors!
Li Taibai, whose pride was ignited again, suddenly put down the wine jar in his hand.
"Okay!"
"Taibai, just listen to the Taoist master again. Even if you don't join the army, it's not a bad thing to go to the border and see the magnificent scenery beyond the Great Wall!"
In fact, Zhou Qingdu was just giving it a try, but Li Taibai actually made such a decision, which meant that he had completely escaped from the inherent future and truly had the possibility of becoming a general.<
/p>
"Then remember to read more books on Zongheng, Military, and Mohism that you have read in the past. If you have time, you should also learn about peasant books."
"The method of moon refining is a skill that is close to the body, and you can't stop practicing it."
"I hope that in the future, what Xiaodao will hear in Chang'an is the news of Li Taibai's great victory in Mobei, the frontier!"
With the blessing of the Moon Refining Technique, Li Taibai himself also had some swordsmanship and boxing skills. Zhou Qing recommended him to join the army, so it was not a death wish. In addition, he had indeed read through a lot of Zongheng, Yin and Yang, and military books. In this era, he still
It can really be regarded as the seed of a Confucian general.
But whether it can sprout can only be judged after facing the battlefield directly.
But at least now, Li Taibai has one more chance to win, surpassing the fate of God in the past!
"So Taoist, how should I proceed?"
Seeing that her elder brother Taibai was recommended to go to the frontier, Du Zimei couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Qing did not hesitate at all.
"In the imperial examination, away from Chang'an, as a strong commander, he governs the place, and he accumulates high positions one by one, and he may become a doctor in Yushitai!"
This is obviously different from Du Zimei's own planned route. He wanted to stay in Chang'an and then directly enter the center.
However, what Zhou Qingdu said was also a noble path, and it was quite consistent with his temperament. Just when Du Zimei hesitated, He Zhizhang suddenly spoke.
"If you two good brothers are willing to listen to me."
"Then, it's better to follow the real person's advice..."
Li and Du's eyes suddenly converged. The person who knew the most about the current imperial court was obviously the He Gongbu. Now that he said so, they were even more curious about what happened.
It actually made these two people seem eager to let them leave the center of the imperial court.
Sensing the curiosity of Li and Du, He Zhizhang was also a little surprised at their intelligence. This was not political sensitivity, but wisdom that noticed the problem, so he did not make too many hints, because
He knew very well that these two people might not understand at all.
"His Majesty has already thought about reform, so what he wants at this time is stability."
"What is being removed is that at this time, the old forces and forces are removed. Talented and capable people are not important, but those who are obedient and can carry out the reform in accordance with the will of the reform are important!"
"By then..."
