Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 87

To accept or not to accept, this is a terrible question, at least for King Luo Bin - from the heart, King Luo Bin really does not want to have anything to do with the princes, this time accepting the book from Li Xian, it is considered a He didn't make a speech, but he also participated in it. Even though there was no one else here, he couldn't deceive his own heart. King Luo Bin didn't want to do such a thing that was attributable to the dark room, but if he didn't accept it, to be honest, King Luo Bin didn't like the imperial examination. I really have a lot of interest in reform, and I really want to see what earth-shattering solutions Li Xian can come up with on this matter. Just like this, the ambivalence has been highlighted, and King Luo Bin is in a dilemma After a while, at the end, the desire to do something practical still prevailed. King Luo Bin finally stretched out his slightly stiff hand, took the notebook in Li Xian's hand, carefully opened the cover, and carefully read the booklet. stand up.

The brochure is very thick, counting to more than ten pages, all of which are written in lower case. From the introduction at the beginning to the specific implementation methods, everything is extremely detailed, which can be called a book of tens of thousands of words, but King Luo Bin did not hesitate because of this. Bored, studying carefully, the expression on his face is constantly changing because of this, sometimes frowning, thinking, sometimes smiling, sometimes dignified, with different expressions, obviously very devoted to watching .

"Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. This strategy is for the great benefit of the country, but it may not be easy to implement it. If this chapter is published, criticisms will inevitably arise, and it may not be beneficial to Your Highness." King Luo Bin looked at it fully. It took half an hour before he slowly raised his head, let out a sigh of relief, and cautiously came to a conclusion.

"Since Mr. said that the great benefit of the country, Xiao Wang should do his best to go up. Even if there is danger, why should he be afraid? Haven't you heard that the sage said: Going to benefit the country, life and death are related to it? Sir, I would like to help Xiao Wang. ?” Li Xian smiled gently, and asked quite proudly.

"This..." King Luo Bin was obviously choked by Li Xian's words, and his face twitched for a long time. After a long time, he finally calmed down a little. Then, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he sighed with a wry smile: " If you don't want to, you really can't hear it, not to mention the humble official position, even if you want to help, there is no way to help, let alone the fear that the official will leave the post soon, you really have the heart but powerless."

"Sir, what you mean is that if you are capable, you will definitely help Xiao Wang, but is that so?" Li Xian did not pay attention to the reasons Luo Binwang said, but asked with a smile.

"As far as this matter is concerned, it is indeed the case. If Luo can open up a way to obtain talents for the court, why should Luo be afraid of death!" Let Li Xian take advantage of the slightest possibility.

This old man is really serious, is he very defensive, interesting!Li Xian's previous words did contain a trick. Of course, Li Xian didn't expect to be able to win King Luo Bin into his hands just by relying on verbal traps. It was already in Li Xian's calculations, but he was not afraid of where he could escape.

"Okay, that's it. Mr. Luo is generous and righteous, and Xiao Wang has always admired him very much. This matter really needs Mr.'s help!" Li Xian has always been a master of success, and after hearing Luo Binwang's expression, Immediately, a stack of tall hats was thrown over.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Luo is about to resign, and he has no ability at all. How can he help His Highness?" King Luo Bin was not confused by Li Xian's praise, waved his hand, and replied unceremoniously.

"Resign? Are you talking about Liu Minhang and Wang Zhongda, two idiots impeaching you for being disrespectful to your boss? It's okay, these two are nothing but idiots. Why should you be as knowledgeable as these mediocre people? According to Xiao Wang It doesn’t matter if this Dongtai Xiangzheng scholar is improper, with your great talent, you should be a pillar of the country!” Li Xian knew the details of King Luo Bin being framed by villains, so the reason why he didn’t ask his subordinates to come forward to help him escape is natural. There was another arrangement. Hearing what King Luo Bin said, he immediately laughed.

As soon as Li Xian said this, Luo Binwang's face immediately became serious, and his eyes on Li Xian became complicated in an instant——Liu Minhang and Wang Zhongda were the top scholars in Dongtai, and they were no more than sixth-rank officials. Among the rich and powerful in the court, they were nothing more than small figures. It seemed impossible for such figures to catch Li Xian's attention. Now, Li Xian actually called out the names of these two small officials in one mouthful. The crimes are all clear. Obviously, in King Luo Bin's view, there is only one explanation for this, that is, Li Xian has been observing him for a long time. Li Xian's attention is enough to show that he is of great importance in Li Xian's heart. The feeling of knowing each other is touching, but who would like to have his every move under the surveillance of others?
"Your Highness is too famous, Luo can't afford it." King Luo Bin was silent for a while, and he didn't ask how Li Xian would get into this chapter of the imperial examination. .

"Sir, you don't need to be self-effacing. What Xiao Wang said comes from the bottom of his heart and is not empty words. Now Xiao Wang really needs the help of his talents if he wants to take the imperial examination." Li Xian didn't care about Luo Binwang's indifference at all. Come on, all great talents have arrogance, and they must be cautious in choosing a master, not someone who can be surrendered easily. On the contrary, if King Luo Bin expresses his loyalty when he hears that there is a high-ranking official, Li Xian will be very suspicious. After a while, because of this, Li Xian would not care about Luo Binwang's indifferent attitude, and explained with a smile.

"Your highness is stupid, I really don't understand why, please express it clearly, if you can help, Luo will not dare to give up." King Luo Bin really wanted to open the door of the imperial examination, but he didn't know what Li Xian was going to do. Before planning how to operate, he didn't dare to promise easily, so he said cautiously.

Ha, just wait for your old saying!Once you get on our boat, you will never want to go down again!Hearing what King Luo Bin said, Li Xian couldn't help being secretly happy in his heart, and replied with gratitude on his face: "Mr. !"

"Huh? How do you say that?" King Luo Bin originally wanted to hear how Li Xian planned to operate the book, but when he heard that Li Xian was going to use his literary name, he immediately became alert, frowned slightly, and fell silent. After a while, he asked cautiously.

"Sir, there is no need to be nervous. This matter is not difficult to say. There is a little king to take care of the court council and even the emperor's father. What is lacking is nothing more than the ears of public opinion. If you can get the help of your husband, the article will convey the truth. It can arouse the voices of the people, and this matter will definitely be accomplished. If it can be accomplished, the father and the emperor will never forget the merits of the husband." The operation of the imperial examination papers requires all kinds of tricks, and it also needs the cooperation of the water transport papers on the other side of King Lu. , it even involves the rivalry between the dignitaries in the court and the court, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Besides, this matter is of great importance, not to mention that King Luo Bin is not yet under Li Xian's command, even if he is, Li Xian is not. He will talk about all kinds of dark activities here, and then he will pass it by in a very general way, and only ask Luo Binwang to cooperate with the article.

"Well, if it's just for mere ears, I can try my best to do it." King Luo Bin didn't believe that things could be done as easily as Li Xian said, but seeing that Li Xian didn't want to elaborate, he couldn't ask more questions. Indeed, as far as his heart is concerned, King Luo Bin is still very willing to see that the reform of the imperial examination can be accomplished, so he replied in the affirmative.

"Thank you, sir." Li Xian has also arranged a lot of "gunmen" to launch a public opinion offensive. What is lacking is a leader. Considering Luo Binwang's reputation in the literary world, he is undoubtedly the best candidate. Hearing that King Luo Bin had agreed generously at this time, Li Xian was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hands, intending to settle the matter with one blow.

"Wait a minute, lower officials can write, but Your Highness must abide by the three rules." Before Li Xian's words of thanks came to the surface, King Luo Bin raised his hand and put forward a condition.

Ha, three chapters of the agreement?interesting!What Li Xianyao wanted was that King Luo Bin was willing to stand by him, so he didn't mind the initial conditions, so he smiled and made a "please" gesture and said: "If you have any orders, sir, it doesn't matter, as long as it's a little There is absolutely no reason why the king can do it."

"Writing, the lower officials can write, however, they can only be written according to the official's heart, His Highness can't impose opinions on Luo, this is one of them, can His Highness agree?" Li Xian said very generously, But King Luo Bin was unmoved, raised a finger, and asked calmly.

"Of course, as long as your essay is beneficial to the reform of the imperial examination, it is fine. There is one thing, after you write your essay, you must wait for news from Xiao Wang before sending it out." Li Xian knew very well that Luo Binwang's upright personality, but he would not go there. There is no reason to force him to write according to his own thinking.

"Yes! Second, after this matter is over, His Royal Highness can use it for himself. If there is any fault, the lower official can recite it, but there is one thing. From now on, the lower official will have nothing to do with His Highness. Please don't make things difficult for your Highness." Luo." King Luo Bin raised his second finger and continued with a blank expression.

Ha, you always want to leave, hehe, after writing the article, your old face will be stamped with the seal of our Zhou Palace. By then, will you still be free?Hearing this, Li Xian laughed secretly in his heart, but his face was still very solemn, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, this matter is meritorious, and there is no fault. As for..." Li Xian said here, seeing King Luo Bin frowned, and immediately changed his words: "Mr. Yi will be fine."

"Okay, Luo's third request is the fifteen strings owed to His Highness before, and Luo will be given two months to pay back when the time comes." King Luo Bin raised his third finger earnestly, and made the final request .

"This..." Li Xian obviously didn't expect that King Luo Bin's last request would be this, he was taken aback immediately, and then saw King Luo Bin's resolute face, his heart moved, he already had other concerns, but he didn't want to say it out, he laughed Said: "Success, Mr. Yi."

"Thank you, Your Highness, it's getting late, and I'm leaving." King Luo Bin saw that the matter had been settled, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He stood up without hesitation, bowed deeply to Li Xian, and said nothing. Regardless of Li Xian's expression, he turned around and walked out of the room.

This old man is really stubborn!Seeing that King Luo Bin left as soon as he said it, Li Xian couldn't help but smiled wryly, but he couldn't force him to stay, so he shook his head helplessly and watched King Luo Bin go out of the room, but he fell into deep thought.
