Since the Qionglin Banquet, Li Qiao has never seen Sheng Hong again. He hasn't seen her for half a year, but Sheng Hong's style remains the same.
But Li Qiao felt a little emotional. As the number one scholar who won even six yuan, it was rare for him to meet Sheng Hong once. It was too difficult for a small official in ancient times to climb up.
"Li Aiqing, you are new to the officialdom. How are you doing recently?" After Sheng Hong called Li Qiaoping, he opened his mouth in such a homely tone.
Li Qiao immediately acted like he was flattered: "My lord, my colleagues in the Hanlin Academy are all very kind. Everything is fine for me in the Hanlin Academy."
"Then I'll be relieved." Sheng Hong smiled and said, "I called you here today because there is something important that I need you to do."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Li Qiao immediately showed a duty-bound look.
"The articles you wrote during the imperial examination were all well written. In order to point out a clear path for scholars all over the world, from today on, you will compile several books specifically to guide scholars all over the world. Once you have compiled them, I will give you a promotion. "
"...Wei ministers obey the orders."
Li Qiao blinked.
The big thing is to compile the imperial examination guidance book?
"Don't underestimate this job. I need talents like you." Sheng Hong said and stretched out his finger to Li Qiao: "I'm waiting for you to use these books to send me young talents."
Li Qiao: "..."
Understood.
heavy responsibility.
Moreover, Sheng Hong's move may also give him a reason to be promoted.
Otherwise, if he follows the conventional path and wants to rise, it will be really difficult. Just look at his roommate, Mr. Li, who is also the top pick.
So, Sheng Hong is actually on his side?
Alas, his performance was still too low, and he still couldn't get Sheng Hong to side with him without hesitation.
It was really difficult to be a courtier in ancient times.
Acting too strangely will arouse the king's suspicion.
His mediocre performance was not enough for the Holy One to protect him.
He had to think about it some more.

The author has something to say:
Chapter 118: Tao Zhu, the virtuous wife, you are the best at making money
Ordered to compile a book.
It was up to Li Qiao to decide how many books to compile and what aspects to compile. He could also call on four people in the Hanlin Academy to do miscellaneous tasks for him.
Li Qiao returned to the Hanlin Academy with the imperial edict. When Du Guqin saw the imperial edict, he smiled and let him pick people as he pleased.
She even chatted with him a bit and asked him to recommend the most delicious signature snacks in the Li Family Dim Sum Shop.
Li Qiao: "..."
After finishing the household chores with Du Guqin, he went directly to Xin Zhi.
In the Hanlin Academy, he was most familiar with Xin Zhi.
The Holy Emperor gave him four assistant positions, but except for Xin Zhi, he had no other candidates in mind for the time being.
When Xin Zhi saw the imperial edict, his eyes lit up: "Thank you, Brother Li, for thinking about me. My respect for you comes from reading your article. Now you want to compile a book for the world's scholars, and I can participate, but it's really It’s such an honor.”
Li Qiao couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Then write a rough plan in the next two days and see from which angle you should start."
"no problem!"
Xin Zhi immediately patted his heart.
Mr. Li and Mr. Duan, who were in the same room, learned about this and offered suggestions. One of them was the number one scholar and the other was the No. 3 overall pick. They also had their own tips for learning.
In this harmonious and harmonious atmosphere, it’s time to relax.
get off work.
Li Qiao carried the food box and slowly walked out of the inner city.
Tao Zhu knew that the lunch at the Hanlin Academy was not delicious, so he prepared some snacks for him every day. It was lunch time when he entered the palace today, and when he came out of the palace, he had already missed the lunch at the Hanlin Academy.
Fortunately, Tao Zhu prepared snacks for him, otherwise, he would have to go to work hungry in the afternoon.
Sitting on the bullock cart, Tao Zhu asked as usual: "How are you today?"
"I'll see you today." Li Qiao said with a smile.
"Have you met His Majesty?"
Not only Tao Zhu was surprised, Li Dashan also turned his head to look at Li Qiao.
"The Holy One asked me to compile a book so that I can guide students all over the world."
"This is a good thing!" Tao Zhu suddenly laughed: "The Holy Spirit values you and gives you a separate mission."
Editing a book alone can highlight Li Qiao's ability, which is much better than editing a book with others.
"I was wondering before. If you are so outstanding and capable, why do you have to study history with others after becoming an official? This would bury your talents too much."
"It's okay now. The Holy One has remembered you as the number one scholar."
Tao Zhu looked happy.
"..."
Li Qiao laughed dumbly.
Tao Zhu's filter was too thick for him.
Moreover, did Tao Zhu always feel that he was not appreciating his talent?
"Da Shan, let's not go home yet. Let's go to the restaurant to pack some good dishes to celebrate." Tao Zhu said to Li Dashan again.
"Okay. Are you going to Yunxiao Tower?" Li Dashan asked.
"Don't go to Yunxiao Tower. Well... go to Baiwei Tower. Behind Yunxiao Tower is the British government, and we won't send money to the British government."
Tao Zhu said.
"Is there still such a thing? The vermicelli bought by Yunxiao Tower in the past two years..."
"Forget about the vermicelli. They bought the vermicelli and gave them money. But we can't take the initiative to go to Yunxiao Tower to eat. Firstly, we don't want to give money to the British government. Secondly, some interested people will see us and think we have given in."
"That's right!" Li Dashan heard this and immediately nodded heavily: "Let's go to Baiwei Tower."
Li Qiao looked at Tao Zhu with some surprise. His brother Zhu was very thoughtful.
"A good wife." He held Tao Zhu's hand.
Tao Zhu looked at him, smiling so hard that his eyes curled up: "What do you want to eat?"
"It will be all right."
"I knew you would answer like this, forget it, I'll make some when we get to Baiweilou."
"Okay." Li Qiao nodded with a smile.
He liked Tao Zhu's appearance of being the master of the family.
Baiweilou is also quite famous in Beijing. It's not even dinner time yet, but there are already many diners in the lobby on the first floor.
Tao Zhu read the menu twice and ordered hibiscus meat, prunes, steamed goose, silver carp stewed with tofu, and shredded pork soup.
Now that he has seen the world, he has eaten a lot of meals made with precious ingredients such as abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, and bird's nest.
However, for now, he has not yet learned the wonders of these ingredients, so he only orders things that he does not know how to cook but the ingredients are ordinary.
After returning home with these meals, Zheng Qianqian and Li Xia were already making dinner.
"Cook less. Let's go to Baiweilou and buy some dishes." Tao Zhu carried the food box into the kitchen.
"Okay." Zheng Qianqian responded.
"Bring out the chrysanthemum wine, let's have some drinks later." Tao Zhu said again.
"Eh? Is something good happening?" Zheng Qianqian couldn't help but ask.
"Of course something good has happened." Tao Zhu was waiting for him to ask: "Your brother-in-law received the imperial edict today and is going to compile a book independently."
"Oh!" Zheng Qianqian couldn't help but stamp her foot: "It is indeed a good thing!"
The food was put on the table, the chrysanthemum wine was brought out, and the whole family started to have a sumptuous dinner in a lively manner.
After Li Xiaorui recovered from his illness, he was still lively. He sat on Zheng Qianqian's lap, but kept grabbing the chopsticks in Zheng Qianqian's hand with his little hands.
He is not satisfied with his father's feeding, he wants to eat by himself.
Zheng Qianqian had no choice but to raise her arms high to feed him.
"Da Shan, if you are free these days, come out as a baby's dining chair." Li Qiao couldn't help but said to Li Dashan as he looked at this scene.
"Ah?" Li Dashan was about to take Li Xiaorui over. Hearing this, he turned to look at him: "Eating chair?"
"Yes, it's specially used for Xiao Rui to eat."
Since Li Xiaorui is so obsessed with chopsticks, as a good uncle, he must satisfy him.
Li Xiaorui was focused on fighting for chopsticks with his father. When he heard Li Qiao calling his name, he turned his head and looked at Li Qiao: "Uncle?"
"Hey!" Li Qiao responded loudly, looked at his big black eyes, and said with a smile: "Xiao Rui, let your Dashan daddy make you a special dining chair, okay?"
How could Li Xiaorui understand such a complicated sentence, but he could understand the three words OK? He waved his chubby little arms and shouted loudly: "Okay!"
"If you understand or not, just say yes." Li Dashan couldn't help pinching his fat cheeks: "Your father and I may not be able to make that dining chair."
He only knows how to build a shed, but he can't even make a small bench. He probably won't be able to get the chair that his brother-in-law mentioned.
"Then I'll draw the drawings later, and I'll go find Brother Wen tomorrow and ask him to find a carpenter."
Li Qiao thought for a moment and changed his mind.
