Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 196
Li Dewu didn't know if Li Shanzhi knew that he had peeked at the document... In his opinion, it should be the step that Li Shan prepared.

This kind of speculation is reasonable, because once the document is implemented, the biggest beneficiary will be the East Palace, and at that time Li Shanzheng and Wei Zheng, the prince's confidant, were fighting fiercely.

But Li Dewu is very sure, Li Shan must have guessed that he was forcibly assigned to escort the grain and grass to the north, and he had his own handwriting.

This kind of speculation does not require any evidence, and free testimony is enough.

Moreover, Li Shan stayed in Hebei and refused to return, just because he was afraid that Li Dewu would use another means, which is enough to prove.

Why don't you die?
Li Dewu asked silently in his heart, why didn't you die?

Li Shan was a little surprised. When they met each other in Wuling County a few times ago, Li Dewu always looked away when they met each other, but today they didn't avoid each other... Do you have any confidence?

Too lazy to look at this face again, Li Shan picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and answered the question.

It is true that he has confidence, but this confidence is not Li Dewu himself, but Li Shan's.

In the city of Chang'an, it was widely spread that Li Shan and Li Huairen had plotted to make meritorious deeds. They attacked the Beizhou camp at night and set fire to the boat twice.

How many officials in the DPRK and China praised Li Shanzhi's ability, especially those officials from Shandong... Now the main players who praise Li Shan are not Li Kai, Wang Renbiao, and Zhang Wenguan.

After discovering that Li Shan is not yet married or even engaged in love, how many wealthy families have already started to make moves. Jingzhao Du, Webster, Liu, and even Taiyuan Wang are rumored to want to marry.

What made Li Dewu furious the most was that the Hedong Pei family also had intentions... Could it be possible that they really want to change from father and son to brother-in-law?

Not necessarily, maybe the seniority is higher than me!

After the war in Hebei subsided, a lot of news came one after another. In fact, Li Dewu already regretted taking the assessment in advance, not for Li Shan's consideration...but because he was afraid that the other party would openly tear his face in a fit of anger.

Li Shan may not be able to, but Zhu Shi is sure.

Once the face is torn openly, Li Shan's future... Li Dewu doesn't care, but he can be sure that his future will be bumpy.

For this reason, Chang'an ordered Li Ganyou to return to Beijing, and arranged a second assessment after hearing about it, and Li Dewu did not object.

But just the day before yesterday, a news came from Shandong that shocked the Manchu Dynasty. Li Shan, who had no official position or nobility, beheaded Cui Bo, a son of the Cui family in Qinghe County, in Qinghe County.

Regardless of the reason, as soon as the news reached Chang'an, after a short period of silence and shock, many officials jumped out and wrote a letter accusing them of murdering the children of aristocratic families regardless of their superiority or inferiority.

Although there is no conclusive news in the past few days, those scholars who praised Li Shan have kept their mouths shut, and those aristocratic families who intend to marry have shrunk back.

Even Pei Shiju mentioned it when chatting with Pei Ji. After all, this person is young, doesn't know the dangers of the world, and his life is easy to break.

Li Dewu sneered and thought in his heart, Huangkou child, how do you know the power of the family, there will be disasters in the future.

It's just fifteen fill-in-the-blank questions, plus five explanation questions, and the assessment will be over in a short time.

Li Dewu collected the examination papers, glanced at Li Shan's, and sneered a few times in his heart, this handwriting really didn't make any progress!
There were only seven examinees, and none of them left. The news soon came that thirteen of the fifteen postscripts had to be answered correctly, and four of the five interpretation questions had to be explained in detail. Five of the seven passed.

One person went in and out, and there were two people left outside, one was Li Shan, and the other was a young man in his 20s, Li Qian.

Li Qian went in first, came out soon, and greeted with a smile, "I've heard Li Huairen's name for a long time, and seeing him today, it's really amazing."

"Don't dare." Li Shan, who was about to enter, stopped and bowed back.

"I'm going to post the scriptures in the [-]th and [-]th grades." Li Qian smiled gently, "Unexpectedly, Huairen got all the grades."

"I also know that posting scriptures...mainly depends on luck."

Li Qian laughed, "De Mou once said that Li Huairen is usually kind and gentle, but every time he jokes, it makes people laugh. He really is good at banter."

"Your Majesty and Brother Demou..."

"Demou is Danyang Fang, and a certain is An Fangfang's younger brother."

Li Shan and Li Kai had gotten along well, and had learned in detail that the ancestors of Danyangfang and Anfang were both Jibei and Dongguan prefect Li Yong in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Li Qian and Li Kai had a very good relationship, and after such a narration, Li Shan exchanged a few pleasantries.

"De Mou heard the news yesterday and went to Zhujiagou." Li Qian said with a smile, "I'm also a regular customer of Dongshan Restaurant. After a few days, we will be able to meet again."

It seems that Dongshan Restaurant has been very popular in recent months. Li Shan walked in the door as he thought about it, and saw Li Ganyou again after a few months, who brought him into the army with all his strength.

"Boy Li Shan pays his respects to the Ming Palace."

Li Ganyou raised his right hand slightly, and looked at Li Shan with a complicated expression. This is such a noisy little guy, he can't calm down anywhere!
Planning to make meritorious deeds in Weizhou, but such a thing happened in Beizhou!
But at this moment, Li Ganyou is not easy to elaborate, he just smiled and said: "You once said that you only understand the principles of the scriptures and righteousness?"

The little officials on the side couldn't help laughing... When they were learning abacus from Li Shan that day, this young man was also so humble, knowing a little, a little understanding.

As a result, everyone who is famous in mathematics must be impressed. Today, there are [-] posting scriptures and five explanations, and only Li Shan has a perfect score.

"Too humble, not good." Li Ganyou smiled and raised his pen to outline, "Let's prepare for the scientific examination next year."

Li Ganyou's words mean... Excessive modesty is pride!
But Li Shan was a little wronged, he really understood a little bit!
The little official on the side smiled and asked, "Li Langjun, which subject do you choose?"

"Ming Jing Ke."

The little official was a little surprised that he didn't choose his best math subject, he opened the book and glanced, "It's full..."

"Li Langjun didn't choose the math department... Uh, it's full!"

Li Ganyou's expression changed, "The math department is also full?"

"Yes." The little official bowed and said, "There is still a vacancy just now, but just now Li Qian..."

After Li Ganyou returned to Chang'an, he didn't pay much attention to the matter other than ordering a make-up examination. He took the booklet and flipped through it, and said in surprise, "This subject is actually full!"

The scientific examinations in the Tang Dynasty were different from the later Ming and Qing Dynasties. They paid attention to classification, but each subject had a fixed number of candidates. According to last year's practice, the other subjects were okay, but the number of subjects in Mingshu was always full.

The country needs mathematics talents, and the children of aristocratic families do not despise mathematics, but it is difficult to get promoted in the future with mathematics, but Ming Jing is different, relatively speaking, the official career is smooth.

Therefore, there are countless people who have passed the test of economics, and it is common for them to be full, but there are very few people who have passed the test of mathematics, and each subject is full.

Li Ganyou considered that Li Shan was good at arithmetic, as long as he passed the county government examination, he would have no problem signing up.

But in the past few months, abacus has become all the rage in Chang'an, and merchants can often be seen in Dongxi Market with a scale in one hand and an abacus in the other.

In short, the abacus made by Li Shan has greatly reduced the difficulty of the test... At least it has given the candidates a good psychological effect, resulting in no vacancies.

However, Li Qian was the last one to choose Mingshu. He is not very old, but he is of the same generation as himself. You can't withdraw from your family, right?

What a coincidence, it happened to be Li Qian who came in before him... Li Shan's face changed slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Dewu, the county lieutenant who had been watching coldly... If this matter hadn't been manipulated by him, no one would believe it.

However, Li Shan is quite disdainful. You, Li Dewu, entered Pei's family and entered the East Palace. You have a lot of resources to leverage. In the end, you can only use such shady means!

So petty!
