Li Shimin

Hearing this, both Li Baoding and Wang Xuance laughed.

"Your Majesty, why don't you find a few passers-by for your Majesty to ask!"

Zheng Fu in front of the car said hastily.

"Need not!"

Li Xuan shook his head slowly, "When we camp at the inn at night, we can ask the veterans at the inn and we will understand!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Zheng Fu also laughed quickly, and stopped talking.

The convoy fell into silence again.

At night, the convoy camped in the inn on Cement Avenue.

When Li Xuan and others entered the inn, there were already dozens of merchants and scholars posing as people staying in the inn.

Seeing Li Xuan and the others, everyone was full of curiosity.

However, no one dared to disturb him.

After dinner, Li Xuan just washed himself with hot water.

Zheng Fu knocked on the door and walked in, followed by Li Baoding and Wang Xuance.

"Report to Your Majesty, the last general has already found out!"

"Why are these people rushing to Chang'an for the New Year's Eve?"

Li Xuan asked curiously.

"Your Majesty is wise, these pedestrians and merchants are really going to Chang'an!" Zheng Fu bowed his hands to Li Xuan with a full face of admiration.

However, after seeing Li Xuan's unmoved gaze, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and quickly reported the news he inquired to Li Xuan in detail.

"Your Majesty, according to what the old soldier at the inn said, these passers-by are all poor scholars. As for the merchant convoys, they are all slightly richer poor scholars!"

"Scholar?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help being startled.

"What are these scholars going to Chang'an for?"

"My lord, these scholars are all going to take the spring examination, which is the selection examination held by the imperial court in spring!"

Zheng Fu continued: "I heard from the old man at the inn that in the past ten days or so, there are already hundreds of scholars who have gone to Chang'an City to attend the spring examination!"

"I see!"

Li Xuan understood.

Nodding his head, he looked at Zheng Fu again: "Since they are all scholars who are going to attend the spring examination, it's easy to say!"

"Among the convoy I'm waiting for, is there any free carriage?"

"My lord, if the sons and daughters squeezed a little, there would be ten carriages free!"

Zheng Fu didn't understand what Li Xuan was going to do, but he hurriedly replied.

"So, the carriage will be vacated early tomorrow morning!" Li Xuandao.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu clapped his hands in agreement.

Afterwards, he asked again: "I wonder why Your Majesty wants these carriages?"

"Find a son-in-law!"

Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Find a son-in-law?"

Zheng Fu, Wang Xuance, Li Baoding and others beside him were full of doubts.

"In my Li family village, are there many women who are waiting to be married?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, there should be around twenty or thirty!"

Zheng Fu pondered for a moment, then replied helplessly.

Regarding these girls, not only the parents of the farmers were very troubled, but even Zheng Fu and the others looked worried.

In Zheng Fu's family, there is such a girl. In the past two years, she has not found a suitable family!

……

Chapter 753

"That's it!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly. With the popularization of education in Lijiazhuang and the wealth of the farmers, the girls in Lijiazhuang have a higher level of vision!

Naturally, some unmarried girls appeared.

In the surrounding areas, even the rich families in Chang'an City, they look down on the daughters of the village households.

As for ordinary people, these women in the Li family village look down on them.

Even Zheng Fu's vision is the same.

"These scholars outside are able to walk thousands of miles to Chang'an in such a cold weather at this time of year, what do you think of these scholars?

Among other things, let's talk about the courage and perseverance of these scholars, as well as their hard-working nature.Moreover, if these scholars dare to go to Chang'an to attend the spring examination, they must have some talents in their stomachs!Those girls in the village might like it? "

Li Xuan said slowly.

Hearing this, Zheng Fu's eyes lit up immediately.

"My lord, if this kind of scholar can plant some fields again, the girls in my Li family village will definitely like it!"

"What about your girl?"

Li Xuan asked.

Zheng Fu was startled, then chuckled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, if these scholars can marry me, Zheng..."

"You are daydreaming!" Li Xuan directly interrupted Zheng Fu's words.

Zheng Fu smiled obsequiously, "My lord, it's already night!"

"Then you are delusional!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, "If you have nothing to do, go to sleep and have your sweet dreams!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu hurriedly cupped his hands with an apologetic smile, and walked out.

Li Xuan thought of something, so he quickly said again: "One more thing, those scholars who want to ride in my Lijiazhuang motorcade must either be handsome or tall, or have special skills.

Only in this way can I be attracted by the girls in my Lijiazhuang! "

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Zheng Fu hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.

"Humph!"

Li Xuan snorted softly, and said: "What this king wants to say is, after you go back for a while, think about it, and what questions will you give to those scholars who want to board my Lijiazhuang carriage and are not outstanding tomorrow!"

"Yes, Master!"

Li Baoding and Wang Xuance hurriedly clapped their hands together.

As for Zheng Fu, although he bowed his hands again and again to salute, he was very self-aware and didn't respond.

at night.

The entire Jin Prince's personal guards slept very soundly, but those scholars and merchants were tossing and turning, their eyes full of eager light.

I don't know how long it took before a scholar got up first, lit a candle, took out two pieces of paper from the package he was carrying, and then took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After working for half an hour, a simple name card, It will be produced.

The candles in the entire inn room were lit until the middle of the night!

The next day.

When Li Xuan walked out of the room, it was already Chen Shi.

Under the arrangement and command of Zheng Fu, all the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion had already started to move the carriage.

What surprised Li Xuan was that the scholars who stayed together yesterday were all sitting in the lobby and looking upstairs from time to time.

Until he walked down, these scholars, all of them looked back evasively.

However, these scholars did not leave.

Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to this.

Because, at this time, there are already personal guards serving breakfast to Li Xuan.

After eating, just as Li Xuan was about to get up, the scholar closest to him stood up quickly, holding a name card in his hand, walked up to Li Xuan, and at the same time raised the name card with both hands, and handed it in front of Li Xuan, with a full face. expect.

"Lanzhou Qiu Shuye pays homage to the nobleman!"

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but startled.

This is the first time he has encountered this situation.

After receiving the simple name card with name, family and hometown written on a piece of yellowed paper, Li Xuan looked at Qiu Shuye curiously.

"What are you doing to stop me?"

"Your Majesty?"

When these words came out, not only Qiu Shuye was shocked, but all the scholars around were dumbfounded.

Immediately, everyone was overjoyed.

They really met a real nobleman this time, they didn't expect that they voted for a king directly in a spur of the moment vote!

After a moment of silence, all the scholars couldn't hold back anymore, they got up quickly, rushed to Li Xuan, and bowed down directly.

"Lanzhou'an turned in to pay homage to the king!"

"Liangzhou Cen Xu just paid a visit to the king!"

"Jiang Heli from Liangzhou..."

"You guys are so rude!"

Seeing this situation, the two guards at the door hurriedly guarded Li Xuan, glaring at a scholar who rushed up.

Two vicious personal guards glared at this group of over-excited scholars with murderous intent, which made the group of scholars realize something was wrong and calm down quickly.

However, this group of scholars are all from poor families.Some of them are even scholars who have gone from poor families to village households. They have suffered so much humiliation since they were young, and their faces have long been tempered like steel armor.

After taking a few steps back, all the scholars smiled apologetically again, and bowed their hands to Li Xuan again.

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. It's the first time I've seen such a dignified person as Your Majesty. I was a little excited for a while!"

"Okay, don't talk too much, the king will be on his way in a hurry, tell me now, what do you want to do by giving me a name card like this?"

Li Xuan said directly, there was no anger on his face, but he was not very kind.

However, Li Xuan's expression had already made those scholars and personal guards feel relieved.

"My Majesty, we are scholars who are going to Beijing for the exam this time. I have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child, and I am quite proficient in arithmetic. I want to ask boldly this time. I don't know if I am in the Majesty's house or under his command, but there are still a few things missing. A civil servant who knows how to read and write, or a follower is fine!"

Qiu Shuye, who was the first to deliver the name card to Li Xuan, said to Li Xuan respectfully, then looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

As for the dozens of scholars on the side, they all nodded accordingly.

"young?"

Li Xuan's expression brightened, "Do you want to follow me?"

"Great Wang Mingjian!"

Qiu Shuye and a group of scholars all said hastily.
