Li Beidou didn't wait for his grandfather and father to come, nor did he wait for a reward. Instead, he waited for the emperor to summon him, and the emperor and his ministers played against each other.
For the people of the Tang Dynasty, this was a very honorable thing. Only those very capable ministers would be summoned by the emperor alone to ask for advice on how to govern the country and bring peace to the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that playing against the emperor is enough to be recorded in the family tree and passed down to future generations.
But for Li Beidou, who had lived two lifetimes, the emperor was also a human being, not God's son. He would vomit after drinking too much, and would still have a headache when he woke up the next day.
I don't understand why my mother is so excited.
Ever since Angel came to Li's house, her mother had taught him all kinds of etiquette over and over again, down to the smallest detail, for fear that Li Beidou would be beheaded if he behaved inappropriately in front of Mr. Li.
On the contrary, Li Beidou was as steady as an old dog. In his opinion, this was like reporting work to the leader in his previous life. If he disagreed, he would be criticized verbally. If he was really beheaded because of his disobedience, it only meant that the emperor had already I want to kill you, but it has nothing to do with whether you behave properly before you. If you step forward with your right leg first when entering the door, it is a crime of beheading.
…
In the Liangyi Hall, Li Beidou kept his mother's instructions in mind and bowed in a formal manner, "Your Majesty... Li Beidou pays homage to the Emperor."
A majestic voice came from the front and said: "Li Qing is exempt from courtesy. He is worthy of being the grandson of Duke Wei. I am afraid that the Ministry of Rites will not be able to find anything wrong with this courtesy."
Li Beidou breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked straight ahead.
Li Shimin was seen wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, sitting on the dragon chair, and there was a civil servant wearing a scarlet robe next to him.
The civil servant was sitting behind a low table, with pens and papers placed on the table.
Li Beidou gives full marks to this posture, which is very intellectual.
However, seeing his posture made Li Beidou a little surprised. This...couldn't this be a confession to be made in court, right?
Seeing Li Beidou's expression, Li Shimin explained: "This is from Zhongshushe. He specializes in recording the correspondence between you and our emperors and ministers, so that it can be preserved for future generations to comment on."
Li Beidou was not nervous at first, but after hearing Li Shimin's explanation that every word he said next would be passed down through the ages, he started to get nervous.
What if he made a mistake and made a mistake, would the Zhongshu Sheren make a cross on the paper, or would he write it down verbatim?
If you accidentally drive a car and tell a dirty joke...
Tsk. I don’t dare to think about it, I’m so ashamed, it’s like being embarrassed for thousands of years.
No, you must calm down, Li Beidou warned himself.
Seeing that Li Beidou was quite uncomfortable, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and said: "Li Qing, don't panic, I asked you to come here today. I just want to have a casual chat with you. You don't need to care about my identity. You can say whatever you want."
Li Beidou twitched the corner of his mouth. Do you call this fight a casual chat?
Seeing that Li Beidou was silent and had a strange expression, the person next to him from Zhongshu Sheren began to write quickly on the paper.
Li Beidou couldn't help but start to feel itchy. He was really curious, what on earth did Zhongshu Sheren write on the paper? You haven't even started yet, and you've already started reading comprehension? ?
What if this guy gets the question wrong?
What should I do if I write something and Li Beidou is too nervous and ignores the emperor's questions? Do you want to go up and slap him?
After all, it is about passing on to future generations, and it is about your own reputation...
Li Beidou didn't know why, but all his thoughts were focused on the person from Zhongshushe who was silently writing quickly.
Li Shimin looked at Li Beidou with a smile, and saw that he kept glancing at the scholar in the middle school. Li Shimin suddenly felt curious, and just as he was about to ask, Li Beidou suddenly said: "Hi, the scholar, what are you writing? Isn't that right? Are you scolding me?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was stunned, and Zhongshu Sheren, who was writing rapidly, was even more stunned, and glanced at Li Beidou suspiciously.
I saw Li Beidou speaking harshly, "Don't write nonsense. I'll go find out where you live later..."
Zhongshu Sheren's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears. He was actually threatened by Hong Guoguo in front of the emperor?
Only then did Li Shimin react and couldn't help laughing.
He couldn't stop laughing, he laughed forward and back, completely losing the demeanor of an emperor.
Li Beidou's mind was filled with questions. Is this... is this funny? Where's the fucking joke?
If that person from Zhongshushe took his work seriously and responsibly, wouldn’t he have to write several pages of hahahaha?
I don't know how long it took, but Li Shimin finally stopped laughing and gasped slightly: "I heard that the fifth young master of the Li family has been messing around for many years. It is true that he is not in vain. He is a wonderful man. I should have known you earlier."
The corner of Li Beidou's mouth twitched, "Your Majesty, I... I have stopped being a bastard a long time ago."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "It is true that he is no longer a bastard and can make contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but his words still have a taste of the past."
Uh...are you praising me or scolding me?
"Your Majesty is holy."
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Strong bows, horseshoes, epidemic prevention and control, you have made such contributions to the Tang Dynasty in just a few days. Are you hiding your capabilities and biding your time, or is it an occasional gain?"
From the moment they met until now, Li Beidou felt that the evaluation of Li Shimin in history books was still somewhat biased. In addition to his martial arts skills, his affinity was also an important reason why he could become the emperor of the ages.
At least the feeling he gave Li Beidou gave him the courage to tell the truth.
So Li Beidou said sternly: "Your Majesty will atone for your sins. I dare not deceive you."
Li Shimin became even more interested, "I never offend anyone for my words, you can just say whatever you want."
Li Beidou said with a frown on his face: "I made the strong bow in the first place simply to absolve myself of guilt."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "You little baby, I naturally know this."
Seeing Li Shimin's attitude, Li Beidou became much bolder and continued: "As for making horseshoes, I really just said it casually to change the subject. I didn't expect that it actually succeeded. In fact, I don't have any credit for it. Everything is nothing." This is a great blessing from His Majesty,"
Li Beidou finally figured it out. The so-called monarch and his ministers are right. To put it bluntly, the emperor and his ministers sit down and chat together. This is no different from employees in previous lives showing project ppts to their bosses.
It’s nothing more than making the boss happy and satisfied.
Of course, when you meet an expert boss, you must explain the situation clearly and in detail, and your thinking and logic must not be confused.
If you meet a layman boss, treat him or her as a fool and be prepared to modify the ppt N times. Of course, there is a high probability that you will choose the first version of the ppt in the end.
Li Shimin was obviously not an outsider. With Li Shimin's wisdom, he clearly understood the importance of what Li Beidou did to the Tang Dynasty without being reminded.
Li Beidou can be sure that Li Shimin is a very generous person. As long as Li Beidou doesn't open a beer bottle for him, Li Shimin won't care about other small things.
The only thing that worried him was that the big boss of the feudal group asked him how he came up with it.
Li Beidou was really undecided now on how to explain.
As the old saying goes, whatever you fear will come to you.
At this moment, Li Shimin, like a curious baby, said, "I called you to come here today just out of curiosity. How did you come up with these things?"
