Chapter 666 Di Renjie

The emergence of martial arts in the Tang Dynasty is a product of a specific era. Wu is different from literature, and martial arts is even more different from imperial examinations. Officials learn literature, while generalists use strategy and the way of governing the country. However, martial arts cannot be learned at will. It requires talent, and more importantly, accumulation on the battlefield.

The Tang Dynasty practiced martial arts for more than a hundred years, but Guo Ziyi was the only one who really became an official through martial arts, but his reputation has been passed down through the ages.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Li Ke used martial arts as a political weapon for Li Shimin and Li Ke to deal with the Guanlongmen Clan. Li Ke, who initiated the martial arts, never thought that he could choose a famous general like Su Dingfang from the martial arts, or When Mr. Xi bought such a fierce general, what he wanted was someone with the appearance of a middleman, someone who could afford the position of military attache at the lowest level of the government army.

And Li Ke's move also hit the seven inches of Guanlong's clan. Guanlong people lived in Guanxi for a long time, and they were somewhat self-respecting and exclusive. And the reason why others can't.

To deal with the Guanlong people, you can't use the Jiangnan people, Hebei people, or Shandong people. The best is the Guanlong people, and Li Ke's martial arts is to use the Guanlong people to deal with the Guanlong people.

The first martial arts exam was only held in Chang'an, only in the Forbidden Army, from which to promote talents who can be used, and the Forbidden Army has always been a place where Li Shimin said one thing, so the movement made in the Forbidden Army, even if the people in the Guanlongmen Clan knew it The imperial court had other ideas and dared not speak out.

The day of the first imperial examination will be at the beginning of next year, that is, the spring of Zhenguan 15th year. people of interest.

Chang'an City, Midwinter, East Palace.

It's winter, and today's Chang'an City is covered with heavy snow early in the morning. From morning to night, it drifts to the afternoon. For most of the day, the entire Chang'an City is already completely white.

In the inner palace of the East Palace, Li Ke carefully supported the pregnant Wu Meiniang to walk slowly in the garden, admiring the snow scene, and at this moment, Xue Rengui came to report.

"Report to the prince, Di Zhixun, magistrate of Shanggua County, to ask for an audience." Xue Rengui walked up to Li Ke and told Li Ke.

The county magistrate of Shanggua, with a humble official position, would never have been able to enter the East Palace if it was in the past. If it were someone else, Xue Rengui might not even report it, but Di Zhixun is an exception. This is what Li Ke pointed out the person to meet.

"Quickly pass it on." Li Ke said to Xue Rengui upon hearing the words.

Xue Rengui got the order, and immediately went down to bring people, but Wu Meiniang next to Li Ke couldn't help being a little more curious when she saw this, and said to Li Ke: "Although Sanlang is free recently, he will never be free to meet a Shanggua County. order."

Li Ke smiled, and asked Wu Meiniang: "Do you still remember what my husband told you a few months ago, about choosing a young man to study with you?"

Listening to Li Ke's words, Wu Meiniang became more and more strange, and asked, "Could it be possible that what San Lang said about Huan'er's companion reading has something to do with this Shanggua county magistrate?"

Li Ke said: "That's right, the one who is the father's favorite is Di Renjie, the son of Di Zhixun, the county magistrate of Shanggua County."

"What? There are so many rich and powerful sons in Beijing who want to be the companion of Jian'er, and San Lang chose the son of a county magistrate." Wu Meiniang was obviously not prepared for this choice of companion, and was even a little surprised.

In fact, thinking about it is true, the prince’s companions are all children, so it’s hard to determine their talents and virtues. In this case, there are no more than two types of people to choose, one is the son of the rich and powerful in the court, and the other is the descendant of the emperor’s relatives. Di Zhixun's son doesn't take anything.

Such a person reads with Li Fan, and will help Li Fan in the court to a limited extent in the future. If it weren't for Li Ke's only son, and Li Ke's favorite eldest son, Wu Meiniang would have suspected that Li Ke had something else. As pictured.

Li Ke said with a smile: "I just had this idea at the beginning, and it hasn't been finalized yet. I ordered Di Zhixun and his son to come here this time, just to test it out. Meiniang can also take a look later."

In fact, although Li Ke said so, his purpose was just to reassure Wu Meiniang a little bit. In fact, Li Ke had already made up his mind.

After all, this famous figure who is destined to be famous in the history and known as the pillar of the south sky through the ages is Li Ke's right-hand man and assistant minister reserved for Li Fan.

Li Ke was still staying in the courtyard. After a cup of tea, Xue Rengui led Di Zhixun into the inner palace, and behind Di Zhixun was an immature boy about eight years old. Needless to say, this The boy must be Di Renjie, the eldest son of Di Zhixun whom Li Ke asked to meet by name.

It's just that the current Di Renjie doesn't know if it's because he is still young, he is not as fat and round as Li Ke imagined, but rather thin and energetic.

"The minister Di Zhixun brought his dog Renjie to meet the prince and the princess." Di Zhixun took Li Renjie to Li Ke and Wu Meiniang, and bowed to them.

In fact, Wu Meiniang is the same as you, and her attention is almost on Di Renjie. After all, a county magistrate is really not worth being so concerned about her as a princess, and Li Kesu has the ability to know people. Be curious.

Facing the famous and respected Li Ke for the first time, Di Renjie has already shown that he is quite different from ordinary teenagers. When the prince and princess face each other, Di Renjie, who is only eight years old, does not show the slightest panic in his expression and demeanor. Following his father, he slowly walked up to Li Ke and Wu Meiniang.

Di Renjie bowed his hands, bowed respectfully, and worshiped meticulously: "Boy Di Renjie, pay homage to the crown prince and the crown princess."

Wu Meiniang looked at Di Renjie, raised her hand, and said to Di Renjie, "You don't have to be polite, kid from the Di family, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Crown Princess." Di Renjie thanked and stood up.

After Di Renjie got up, Wu Meiniang looked at Di Renjie slowly.Wu Meiniang employs people, although they value talents, but they can't be said to be meritocracy. Women are still a bit demanding on their appearance. If they don't look good, Wu Meiniang will not stay in the East Palace.But fortunately, although Di Renjie's appearance is not as handsome as Li Ke's when he was young, he is still considered Zhou Zheng, with a bit more style, which is not bad.

After Wu Meiniang finished looking at the appearance, she then asked Di Renjie, "How old are you, have you ever been to school? What books have you read?"

Di Renjie already knew the purpose of coming here today from his father Di Zhixun, and he also cherished this opportunity very much. Listening to Wu Meiniang's question, Di Renjie carefully replied: "The boy is eight years old and has already entered school. What I'm reading is "Mao Shi"."

Ordinary people don't know how to read until they are eight years old. Di Renjie can read "Mao Poetry" at the age of eight. Thinking about it, he has read a lot of books before and entered school very early, so he is extremely intelligent.
Wu Meiniang then asked casually: "Then you may understand "Mao Shi"? Do you know what it's about?"

"Mao Poetry" looks simple, but in fact the meaning in it is not easy to understand. Wu Meiniang just asked casually. At first, she didn't think much about it, and she didn't mean to make things difficult, but then she realized that the question she asked was very important to an eight-year-old. It seems difficult for children.

Di Renjie's face was slightly troubled, and he fell into deep thought. At the same time, Li Ke also knew that this question was not easy, and looked at Di Renjie with more expectations in his eyes.
