While walking, Cen Shen suddenly sneezed.
Gao Shi, who was walking beside Cen Shen, immediately smiled and said: "Brother Xian, it must be Li Bai, Du Fu and Cui Hao who are scolding you behind your back, saying that you will no longer miss your old friends after you become successful."
Yes, that's right, Gao Shi also returned to Chang'an with Feng Changqing.
Not only Gao Shi, Longyou'an Jiedu and Hexi Jiedu envoy Ge Shuhan also returned to Chang'an.
In fact, not only Ge Shuhan, but also An Sishun, the governor of Shuofang, Cheng Qianli, the governor of Beiting, Cui Yuan, the governor of Jiannan, and An Lushan, the governor of Hedong, Fanyang, and Pinglu towns, all returned to Chang'an. .
Not counting the newly appointed Shannan Jiedushi, the six Jiedushi from the ten major vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty were all recalled to Chang'an by Li Longji to participate in this grand event. One was to boast about the achievements of pacifying Tibet, and the other was to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the saint. Happy birthday, because it is already June, and in more than three months it will be the birthday of the saint Li Longji.
In short, many officials returned to Chang'an this time.
Cen Shen and Gao Shi are just two insignificant officials among them.
Cen Shen's current official position is the garrison envoy of the Luoxue Army, and Gao Shi is the garrison envoy of the Jishi Army, which is equivalent to the governor of a state, equivalent to a high-ranking city official and mayor and commander of the city's military division. Of course, he is a stickler in the local area. The chief officer, but when it comes to Chang'an City at the feet of the saint, he can only be regarded as a little carrot head.
Faced with Gao Shi's ridicule, Cen Shen responded on the spot: "Brother Dafu, I heard that once when Brother Taibai and Brother Zimei invited you to Pingkangfang to drink wine, you refused?"
"Alas, Brother Taibai and I are different." Gao Shi sighed, and said, "Brother Taibai has no worries about food and clothing, but my family has been unable to untie the pot. If we don't make a career at the border and stay in Chang'an City, If you are drunk and dreaming, wandering among prostitutes and flowers, your wife, children, and children at home should starve to death."
"Yes, Brother Taibai and the others are lucky." Cen Shen said quietly.
Gao Shi and Cen Shen both had a tacit understanding and did not say what they meant. In fact, they knew that Li Bai, Du Fu and Cui Hao were only suitable to stay in Chang'an City to drink, write poems and play with flowers, and were not suitable to serve as officials at the border. One is because they can't bear the hardships at the border, and the other is because they don't have the ability.
When it comes to poetry, Li Bai, Du Fu and Cui Hao are the best in the world, but when it comes to being an official, they don't even understand the most basic human ways.
After a pause, Cen Shen suddenly asked again: "Brother Dafu, if Brother Taibai, Brother Zimei, and especially Brother Cui Boling are like the Chinese style of the Shengshi Enke that Master Lu Tianshi confessed, will you and I take it or not?"
Gao Shi said: "If you really win the formula, you will get it naturally."
Cen Shen said: "If there were no Chinese style, would they scold us behind our backs for not cherishing old friendships?"
Gao Shi said: "Then what can be done? According to the method Lu Tianshi said about hiding names and copying papers, it is difficult for you and me to open a back door for Brother Taibai and others. Candidates can only rely on their own abilities."
Having said this, Cen Shen crossed his hands in the air and sang: "As expected of Master Lu, he can come up with such a fair and just scientific research method. This is the true meaning of recruiting scholars for the imperial court, unlike the original The exam is just a formality, if you are not a student from an aristocratic family or married to a major aristocratic family, you can’t even think about Chinese style.”
Gao Shi said: "This is what Brother Yu is worried about. Although Master Lu Tianshi has good intentions, can the saint accept it? Are the dignitaries in the court willing to agree? This move has dug their ancestral graves."
However, Cen Shen just smiled when he heard this and said to Gao Shi: "Brother Dafu, you are too worried. Master Lu Tianshi will advise the saints and dignitaries in the court on this matter. You and I only need to obey orders."
"That's right." Gao Shi said with a relieved smile, "I was worrying too much."
After a pause, Gao Shi asked again: "Brother Xian, have you thought about how to set up the subjects?"
Cen Shen said: "The Classics and History Collection is definitely a must-take exam. In addition to the Classics and History Collection, I think you can choose one or two of the other subjects such as poetry, arithmetic, medicine, and law."
Hearing this, Gao Shi laughed and said, "What a coincidence, Brother Yu thinks so too."
While they were talking, the two of them had slowly approached Mingde Gate along with the large group of people.
"Gao Shi? Brother Dafu! Cen Shen!" Several shouts rang out from the city gate.
Gao Shi and Cen Shen looked up when they heard the sound, and saw Li Bai, Du Fu, and Cui Hao standing on the top of the city, jumping up and down while holding on to the battlements, as if they were afraid they wouldn't be able to see them.
Gao Shi and Cen Shen couldn't help but feel happy. They were both in their forties or fifties, but they still looked like teenagers.
"Brother Taibai, brother Zimei..." Gao Shi and Cen Shen also waved to their friends at the top of the city.
Before entering the city gate corridor, the two of them vaguely heard Li Bai's unique loud voice shouting, "After attending the saint's grand night banquet, remember to come to Duan Qi's house in Pingkangfang, I will let Duan Qiniang sing for you."
Cen Shen smiled when he heard this and said to Gao Shi: "The superior received a letter from Brother Taibai, saying that he found a beautiful woman named Duan Qiniang in Pingkangfang. It's a pity that the beauty didn't like her. But just now Listening to the meaning of Brother Taibai’s words, he has already embraced the beauty, hahaha.”
Gao Shi also laughed when he heard this.
While he was laughing, an overwhelming cheer suddenly sounded from behind him.
Looking back quickly, he saw that the Chang'an people who were originally scattered on both sides of the extension of Zhuque Street outside the city were rushing towards the center of the street like crazy. Fortunately, the bad guys and Wuhou from Chang'an County and Wannian County had already arrived. When they came out, even the left and right Xiaowei, the left and right Weiwei and the left and right Wuwei all came out to maintain order.
Fortunately, we had made sufficient preparations, so it didn't cause a big mess.
Because the people outside Chang'an City were too "enthusiastic" towards Tibetan prisoners of war.
Especially Tubo Zanpuchi Daizhudan, who was walking at the head, withstood most of the firepower.
"Beat him to death, beat this Tubo dog to death, beat him to death!" Along with the angry shouts one after another, countless rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, and even feces wrapped in lotus leaves were like dense raindrops, hitting the ruler beads head and face. Dan.
In just a moment, Chi Daizhu Dan's face and body and even the prison car were covered with all kinds of filth.
But after all, Shakudai Judan was a tycoon who had dominated the snowy plateau for more than fifty years. He was calm and composed in the face of such a scene, as if he was going to a banquet.
In comparison, Prince Duobusang of Yangtong, King Meluzan of Subitu, King Sufushe of Great Bolü, King Su Shishi of Little Bolü and others were so scared that they even peeed, and they were not even as good as Chisongde, the heir of Tubo. Thanks for calming down.
"Good son, really my good son." Seeing Chisong Dezan's calmness and composure, Chi Dai Zhu Dan couldn't help but feel relieved, and then became sad again, "Dad, I'm sorry for not being able to hand over Tubo to the motherland." In your hands, but the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more. Don’t be afraid when you meet the sage of the Tang Dynasty, let alone ask for mercy. The worst is beheading. You and I, father and son, will go to meet the Yala Xianbo Mountain God and go to Huangquan Road. We can also take care of each other, hahaha.”
The purpose of Chi Dai Zhu Dan was obviously to annoy the people of Chang'an on both sides of the street. Not only did he speak the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty, he also said it very loudly, at least people who were close could hear it clearly.
This completely angered the people of Chang'an.
"How dare Gounu An be so arrogant? I'll give him a stone in exchange!"
"Change the stone and smash this Tibetan dog to death, smash him to death!"
So the people who were watching changed their stones and used them to smash the ruler with beads.
The power of stones is not comparable to that of rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves or feces. In just a moment, Chi Dai Zhu Dan was smashed to the head and bleeding, and the cloth robe on his body was also soaked with blood.
At this moment, a loud and loud sound suddenly sounded in the sky.
"That's enough, everyone, please stop it. Don't beat Tubo Zampu to death. Even if you want to execute him, you have to wait until the saint gives the order and then execute it."
"Master Lu Tian!"
"It's Master Lu Tianshi!"
"Master Lu Tian appears!"
"The Great Merciful Master Lu Tian!"
"Common man Lu San, come and see Master Lu!"
In an instant, the people in Chang'an who were nearest fell to their knees one after another.
Then, one word spread to ten, and the people in the distance also knelt down one after another.
The common people and dignitaries at the top of Mingde Gate soon knelt down on the top of the city. Only a few scholars, Li Bai, Du Fu, and Cui Hao, were still there.
