A question that had been pursued for several years was suddenly put in front of him, but Li Bai hesitated.
Does he want to become an official in the court?
think!
After all, he had struggled for decades and traveled all over the world for this goal. He wanted to achieve the three-visit thatched cottage request between Zhuge and Liu Bei by promoting his reputation.
But after what Li Yunxiao said, he realized whether he was unwilling or really wanted to do this.
"What's wrong? Are you hesitating?"
"No, no, no, common people, I really want to become an official in the court!"
Li Longji smiled lightly and said: "Okay!"
"Since you want to be an official, then I will test you, how about it?"
"Your Majesty, feel free to ask questions!"
"This matter is simple. You write me an article about current affairs. I will give you an answer after reading it!"
Li Bai responded with a faint smile.
He casually took out a pen and paper from the package, and began to use his skills on the spot. He put all his experiences of the great Tang Dynasty over the years into this ode to the beauty of the Tang Dynasty.
Jiangchen glanced at what Li Bai had written from a distance, and couldn't help but whispered to a few people with some disgust: "Is this what you call good literary talent?"
"What he wrote was about the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and he even praised the emperor. There was no trace of us at all."
Li Yunxiao sneered: "We don't need to show up, it's easier to do things this way."
"Hey?" Jiangchen asked in confusion: "Don't you ever feel aggrieved? Others take away all the credit."
Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "The world has always been like this, just like these officials, who would know that among the bad people of the Tang Dynasty, there are two bad commanders and seventy-two evil spirits?"
Wu Zhao also added: "What the Imperial Master said is reasonable, and the ones who are aggrieved are not them, but those sitting on the dragon throne."
"What grievances do they have? That's the throne!"
"Didn't you hear what Li Longji just said? You didn't sit in that position, so of course you couldn't experience the pleasure and helplessness that that position brought."
What Wu Zhao said was correct, and Jiang Chen had no words to refute.
After all, Wu Zhao had been in that position. It was very difficult to maintain the Tang Dynasty while paying attention to Li Yunxiao and Yuan Tiangang. Moreover, at that time, he had to fight wits and courage with the young slaves.
This is why she persevered and had enough resilience. If she were a virtuous and virtuous person with a bad character, she would definitely not be able to complete it.
It can be said that without Yuan Tiangang and Li Yunxiao in the Tang Dynasty, being the emperor would have been a sweet dream, because he could do whatever he wanted without any scruples, whether he was a wise king or a cowardly king, who would dare to say no?
Even if there is only one Yuan Tiangang, the throne can be achieved whatever he wants, but unfortunately, the appearance of Li Yunxiao puts an inexplicable pressure on anyone who sits on the throne.
Let alone Li Longji, none of his sons wanted to be the emperor. Even if they did, they had not checked Li Yunxiao's deeds and did not pay much attention to the matter. It was all due to their recklessness.
And this kind of person is destined not to sit on the throne because his ideas are too simple and too stupid!
After a while, Yuan Tiangang suddenly said: "He has finished writing."
As the words fell, Li Bai stopped and Li Longji stepped forward to watch.
Looking at it, Li Longji couldn't help but laugh.
He saw a hidden compliment in this ode, which was truly brilliant!
He was a little arrogant at first, and even felt that he was not inferior to any emperor, and the decisions he had made could even be said to be as successful as those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
And this article by Li Bai can be said to be exactly what he wanted!
Li Longji is very happy!
"Well written, well written!!"
"Come on, come on, you will be at the same table with me today!"
When Li Longji praised him for his good writing, Li Bai had a smile on his face but was full of disappointment in his heart.
He looked at Li Yunxiao and found that there was a hint of...disappointment in Li Yunxiao's eyes?
The corners of Li Yunxiao's mouth moved slightly, and the sound reached his ears.
"If the poems you write cannot express yourself, then what you pursue will be worthless."
Li Bai was slightly startled, and then he was pulled by Li Longji to find an empty seat and sit down.
When serving food such as fruits, Li Longji personally removed the peels to tell Li Bai that he admired him.
Opportunity, opportunity.
Li Bai cupped his hands and saluted: "I wonder what kind of official position your Majesty allows ordinary people to enter the court?"
Li Longji thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Just go to the Hanlin Academy. From today on, you will be waiting for the Imperial Academy."
Waiting for the imperial edict, to put it mildly, is similar to that of the Taishi Bureau, and is considered a sixth rank.
But this Taizhao Hanlin is special, because Taizhao has no rank, but having no rank does not mean that he is not powerful.
For example, does the Imperial Master have a rank? No!
Although the Imperial Academy is not comparable to the Emperor's Master, it is not accessible to ordinary people.
Because of this position, they can often come into contact with the emperor and hang out in front of the emperor. Their chances of getting official positions in the future will be much greater than others!
Moreover, Li Longji personally sealed it and pulled him in. Now he is the person next to the emperor, and he can make the emperor feel more at ease with him!
After Li Longji finished sealing the seal, he whispered to Li Yunxiao.
"Have you met before?"
"I've seen him before, by chance in the wild."
"Then what do you think would be a better position for me to give him in the future?"
"You don't have to look at me. Favors are favors and calendars are calendars. It is inevitable that you will not be a high-ranking official if you have no merit or virtue. It all depends on you."
"If that's the case, I have to tell the Imperial Master something bad. I do like this Li Bai, but he...is not suitable to be a high-ranking official, let alone the prime minister."
In Li Longji's eyes, Li Bai was just a scholar. Even if his reputation among the people was high, it could not compare to the things that happened in the court.
"what do you want to say?"
Li Longji snorted lightly, glanced at Li Bai, and then sent a message to Li Yunxiao: "In that article just now, do you think I can't see that it is a subtle expression of me?"
"Although the writing is powerful, I feel that these are not his true thoughts."
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and said: "Every gain must come with a loss. That's how people are. What you get after you will feel unsatisfactory."
"I think that from today on, he will lose the pain and boredom of not being an official. Of course, he will also lose the ability to empathize with ordinary people."
Li Longji pondered for a moment and smiled calmly: "This kind of person will only show his talent by staying in the court. When I put him as a vase, as time goes by, he will understand that he is not suitable to be an official and quit when he sees difficulties."
The two were chatting over the phone when Li Bai suddenly picked up the poem he had written and was fascinated by it.
Suddenly, he clenched his palm tightly and pulled off a corner.
"Huh?" Li Longji frowned slightly and turned his head, wondering what he was doing?
"I understand... I understand!"
"Your Majesty! The common people beg your Majesty to take back your order!"
At this time, Li Longji was confused, and the people next to him were even more confused!
The emperor is personally dragging you into the court, why don't you want to go in?
They were peeling fruit for you just now. Who has ever seen an emperor peeling fruit for his courtiers?
Although it was partly for Li Yunxiao's sake, it still required the emperor to bend down.
Li Bai ignored it and knelt on the ground with his head lowered.
After tasting it carefully, he figured out that the poems he wrote suddenly changed!
