Given Li Bai's reputation among scholars and the world, it was naturally impossible for him to start from the bottom if he chose to become an official in the Ming Dynasty.
When Zhang Sheng learned that Li Bai had come to vote, he immediately met with Li Bai and prepared to directly make him the county magistrate.
But Li Bai refused because he had not made any achievements, and expressed that he was only willing to accept the position of county magistrate. In order to show his respect for Li Bai, Zhang Sheng sent him to the gateway county of Yanzhou, Suanzao.
When he first came to Suanzao, Li Bai was very ambitious and wanted to do something big, but later he had doubts about his own talents.
After learning more about the Ming Dynasty, Li Bai finally understood that behind the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, there was actually a huge crisis.
Li Bai felt deeply worried about the Ming Dynasty, but even a small jujube made him struggle, let alone the entire Ming Dynasty?
After hearing his brother's joke, a trace of shyness flashed across Li Qingzhao's beautiful little face. He hit his brother on the back with dissatisfaction and said charmingly: "Brother is talking nonsense. Qingzhao didn't get into trouble."
The fourteen-year-old Li Qingzhao was a young girl when she was ignorant, and every move she made was full of youthful vigor. The poems he wrote were also full of vigor, without any trace of the resentment and loneliness in the original epic poem.
"Okay, okay, it's my brother who was wrong."
Li Bai said helplessly, but his eyes were full of doting. There was nothing he could do about this sister.
Li Bai's brother and sister both lost their parents when they were young. Although Li Qingzhao was raised by Li Bai, he did not completely rely on his elder brother, which made Li Bai very happy.
When Li Qingzhao was seven years old, he was able to write letters for others and make money. When he was eight years old, he practiced "Qinglian Sword Song" hard and now he is at the level of a third-rate warrior.
How could Li Bai not love such a talented, beautiful and talented sister who is also hard-working?
"That's pretty much it."
Li Qingzhao suddenly became serious and asked: "By the way, brother, what do you think about His Majesty's order to select a concubine?"
"What do you think? The big man and Fang La are pressing too hard. Your Majesty can't help but choose." Li Bai sighed.
"But Sister Dongfang is a woman, how can she really marry..."
Before Li Qingzhao finished speaking, he was glared at by Li Bai and did not dare to continue.
"Qingzhao, you must not say this outside."
Li Bai said sternly. Li Qingzhao also made a mistake. When his brother got angry, he naturally understood the severity and nodded quickly.
Seeing that his sister was frightened, Li Bai's expression softened slightly and he said softly:
"Brother, I didn't mean to hurt you, but this matter is too big. Our brothers and sisters were able to save their lives because of His Majesty's trust. Once any news is revealed, our brothers and sisters will live and die, but the Ming Dynasty will be greatly shaken."
After accidentally learning Zhang Sheng's identity, the brother and sister thought they were doomed. However, Zhang Sheng not only did not kill them, but after a heart-warming conversation, he decided to risk re-employing Li Bai.
Zhang Sheng's actions moved both brothers and sisters. Li Bai completely returned to his heart because of this, and Li Qingzhao also admired Zhang Sheng endlessly.
In Li Qingzhao's eyes, Zhang Sheng was obviously a few years older than him, but he could shoulder the burden of a country and seek welfare for the people of the world, while he could only write poems and practice swordsmanship.
Before he knew it, Li Qingzhao had regarded Zhang Sheng as his idol and goal, and vowed in his heart to help her in the future. Now the opportunity has come.
After thinking deeply for a long time, Li Qing made his decision, raised his head and said seriously: "Brother, Qingzhao also wants to participate in the concubine selection."
Li Bai's eyes widened.
"Sister, you are crazy, you know His Majesty is..."
"I'm not crazy."
Li Qingzhao's eyes were full of determination and he said: "There is no guarantee that among these women who are running for election, there will be no spies from various forces, but I can completely keep the secret for Your Majesty."
"Do you want to remain a widow for the rest of your life?" Li Bai said seriously.
Hearing this, Li Qingzhao fell silent. Seeing this, Li Bai struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Don't be impulsive. With your talents and fame, sister, what man can't you marry? Listen to my brother and give up this idea as soon as possible."
Li Bai thought that his words could persuade his sister, but he didn't expect that his always obedient sister would be unusually stubborn this time.
"You treat my brother and sister with the courtesy of a countryman, and my brother and sister should repay you with utmost loyalty. Li Qingzhao has no complaints or regrets."
Li Bai was speechless. He also knew that he could not stop his sister, so he could only sigh alone.

After the imperial concubine selection edict was issued, the Ming Dynasty soon issued the second imperial edict.
In this imperial edict, Zhang Sheng angrily accused Fang La of betraying the Yellow Turbans, clearly declared that Fang La was a traitor to the Ming Dynasty, and called on all loyal people in the world to punish him.
As soon as this imperial edict comes out, Fang La will be in the same situation as Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng and other rebel generals. He will be a stranger to the Yellow Turbans in the world and will be cast aside by them.
The difference is that Chen Youliang and others were forced to surrender to the Han Dynasty, while Fang La was expelled by the Ming Dynasty.
Fang La didn't expect Zhang Sheng to be so ruthless and directly declare him a traitor. Isn't he afraid that he will completely fall to the big man?
Of course, Fang La also thought this way. Although Zhang Sheng accused him of betraying the Yellow Turbans, as long as Zhang Sheng failed to prove his innocence, then there would be an internal fight between him and Zhang Sheng within the Yellow Turbans. After he took over the Ming Dynasty, who would
Do you still care about those things?
Zhang Sheng's counterattack was quite fierce, catching Fang La off guard, and then he also counterattacked.
The fight between the two sides was exciting, but they both agreed to keep talking and did not further expand the conflict. This disappointed the Chang'an court who was waiting to watch the show.
In today's Han Dynasty, the princes are strong but the court is weak. The Chang'an court is also waiting for the Ming Dynasty to fight on its own, and then the Han Dynasty will form a coalition of princes to crusade. At the same time, it will seize the military power of the princes and win in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that Ming Dynasty did not fall into the trap.
Even if the princes of the Han Dynasty knew the imperial court's thoughts, they would definitely sneer at it.
Want to take back military power?
Even if we take the initiative to hand it over, will the imperial court dare to ask for it?
Dong Zhuo's 50,000 Xiliang cavalry are in Sizhou now. Can the imperial court command every single soldier?
To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty now relies entirely on the support of the princes. Without these princes, the Han Dynasty would have been finished long ago, let alone confiscated military power.

Yingchuan County, the residence of famous artists.
Yingchuan, which originally belonged to Li Mi, has now been captured by Cao Cao, and Runan has been completely recovered by Yuan Shu.
Under the strong pressure of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Zhao Kuangyin, Li Mi's living space was squeezed bit by bit, and now he is not far from defeat.
Of course, this has nothing to do with famous people. They are planning a big thing, and once it succeeds, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world.
"After more than four hundred years, my famous master is finally going to be reborn."
Xu Shao, the leader of the famous family, laughed loudly, and then said to Gongsun Long on the side: "Junior brother, the Dragon and Tiger Ranking is the foundation of my famous family. Remember, there must be no mistakes."
"Captain, don't worry, Gongsun Long knows the importance."
Gongsun Long solemnly took the scroll handed over by Xu Shao, and after opening it, he saw five big characters written on the front... Dragon and Tiger Ranking!
