Old Li Tou was very angry. As soon as he returned to the palace, he took a big sip of tea to extinguish the anger in his heart.
But Old Li Tou was very disappointed. When he thought about it, Zhao Chen said that he did not understand the world and was not intelligent enough.
The anger surged up.
"Wuyu, go find Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong, Chu Suiliang and me. By the way, Duan Lun is also here with me. I want to deal with him well!" Li Shimin came to his side!
shouted the personal eunuch.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Shi quickly responded.
He was a little surprised and uncertain.
On weekdays, His Majesty the Emperor comes out of the palace, and most of the time he comes back with a happy face.
Of course, there are times when I get angry, but I have never been as angry as I am today.
Which god is this that dares to make the saint so angry?
Aren't you afraid of beheading?
And Duan Lun, whom His Majesty the Emperor specifically mentioned, what else did he commit?
Wu Shi didn't dare to stay, so he quickly went out to deliver the message.
I especially instruct the people below to give Duan Shangshu a good meal!
…
Duan Lun felt very wronged.
I couldn't invite the tavern owner, so forget it.
The key is that he didn't even have lunch.
When he returned home, Duan Lun's uncle was very angry when he saw that he had not brought back the shopkeeper.
Put away all the food and not allow him to eat it!
Poor Duan Lun went out in the morning full of joy and even burned incense and bathed. Now it's better, he is not welcome anywhere.
It's noon and I don't even have to eat.
I was thinking of going to the kitchen to find something to eat, when I was seen by the maid below.
Duan Lun was about to get angry when he saw the eunuch from the palace walking towards him.
Before Duan Lun could say anything, the leading eunuch punched him in the face.
Duan Lun gasped in pain.
"Master Shangshu, Your Majesty has a decree to invite Master Shangshu to the palace."
"Your Majesty seems to be extremely dissatisfied with Lord Shangshu. This punch is also a blow to Lord Shangshu. I hope Lord Shangshu will forgive me!" said the leading eunuch and Duan Lun.
Duan Lun was about to blurt out curse words. When he heard the eunuch's words, he was so hurt that he didn't even dare to say anything.
Duan Lun is very sure that today he has sinned against evil stars and everything is not appropriate!
But His Majesty the Emperor asked him to enter the palace, could he not go?
…
"Duan Shangshu, what's going on?"
In the Tai Chi Hall, everyone was waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's summons. When they suddenly saw Duan Lun with blood on his nose, they couldn't help but look curious.
Everything was fine last night, why did it suddenly become like this?
"It's okay, I fell down!" Duan Lun said with a groan.
He did not dare to say that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to deal with him. In order not to be dealt with, he was punched in the head by the eunuch.
If he said this, Duan Lun would lose his face.
"That's it!" No one looked into it further.
"Prime Minister, why did you say His Majesty summoned us today?" Li Xiaogong said.
He glanced at Chu Suiliang next to him again.
It stands to reason that Chu Suiliang's current status is not prominent. Although he has served the dragon, he has not been reused.
Today, the only thing that attracts attention to Chu Suiliang is his academic attainments.
Chu Suiliang, who was born in a scholarly family, has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child. In terms of academic attainments, among the people here, he is considered to be the most powerful!
"I guess it's not a big deal," Fang Xuanling replied absentmindedly.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, His Majesty the Emperor personally promised to reform the imperial examination system.
Prince Li Chengqian had just received help from the Wang family in Taiyuan, but he received such a blow to the head, and now he is in a very low mood.
Fang Xuanling was still trying to persuade Li Chengqian just now.
Standing here at this moment, I am thinking about what His Majesty the Emperor said about the reform of the imperial examination system. How could I hear what they were talking about!
"Your Majesty has been coming up with ideas one after another recently. Although each idea is something we have never heard of before, it is definitely beneficial to our country, the Tang Dynasty!"
"What kind of existence is the master your Majesty mentioned?" Li Xiaogong sighed, making a faint sound.
"Guys, Your Majesty has an announcement." Wu Shi came out and said to the people who were talking.
Seeing Duan Lun's appearance, Wuyu nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, Your Majesty will not be so angry when he sees Duan Shangshu later!
Several people entered the palace one after another, and Li Shimin was handling government affairs.
"I have met your Majesty!" Everyone saluted Li Shimin.
"Get up, I'm calling you here today, it's..."
"Duan Lun, what's wrong with your nose?" Li Shimin raised his head, and as he was speaking, his eyes caught Duan Lun's appearance, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I fell down when I just came here!" Duan Lun said quickly.
"Did you fall? You were obviously punched. Why are you so scared when I summon you?"
"You won't hesitate to harm yourself to win my sympathy?" Li Shimin said slowly.
The sound was not loud, but it spread clearly throughout the entire hall.
Let Duan Lun and others feel like falling into an ice cave!
"Your Majesty, this old slave deserves to die..." Eunuch Wuji immediately fell to his knees on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Duan Lun was also lying on the ground, looking ugly.
Emotions have been punched in the face, and now they have to be accused of bullying the emperor?
It's over, His Majesty the Emperor is going to kill me!
Who have I offended?
Duan Lun lay on the ground, feeling uneasy.
"I originally planned to capture you, but because of your hard work and merits, Duan Lun, I will not hold you accountable. Wuyu, go get the ten boards yourself, and don't appear in front of me in the future!" Li Shimin said lightly.
It is a heinous sin to speculate on the holy will.
Li Shimin didn't let anyone kill Wu Shi directly, because he wanted him to follow him for so many years!
After Wu Yan retreated, Li Shimin looked at the people in front of him.
Naturally, they were not asked to come here to reprimand, and seeing Duan Lun in such a state, Li Shimin did not stop him.
"Get up." Li Shimin said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Duan Lun seemed to be pardoned, with a trace of joy on his face.
"Your Majesty summoned his ministers to wait here today, but what's the matter?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"I left the palace today to talk to the master about the lantern riddle guessing in Chang'an City yesterday." Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty is talking about a young man who guessed ten lantern riddles correctly last night and took away the lantern that had been hanging for eight years?" Fang Xuanling reacted immediately.
He also heard about this today.
Even he didn't dare to say that he could definitely guess all ten lantern riddles.
At that time, he felt that this young man was very capable.
It's just that there are a lot of things going on in the East Palace, so I don't have much thought to take care of him.
"Your Majesty, I have seen that young man today. He is the strange man who carved dragon patterns!" Duan Lun touched his sore nose and said to Li Shimin.
He only said that Li Shimin didn't know Zhao Chen's identity.
"Duan Shangshu, the young man you are talking about is the genius you are willing to give up the position of Shangshu and invite back?" Fang Xuanling frowned, seeming a little unbelievable.
