Volume 1, Mo Xing, Chapter 42, Courage
Now the Tang Dynasty is in the limelight, the top scholar in the palace examination this year, Han Changli, a scholar from Henan Province.
After he became a senior member of the Hanlin Academy, someone had already dug out his background. Until these were all on the surface, those literati and scholars who were originally a little dissatisfied had to shut their mouths obediently.
By the way, this scholar was the adopted son of the King of Jinan, which was almost something that everyone with a little bit of a name in the Tang Dynasty knew. But when it comes to Han Changli's other identity, it made everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty temple, from Prime Minister Li Linfu to the guards and commanders who were in charge of the palace gate, and they all changed their color.
Han Changli, a disciple of Du Shusheng of the Tang Dynasty!
This is an identity that Han Changli never mentioned before. However, since he became a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, as a celebrity around him today, there will naturally be no secrets.
It is impossible for anyone to risk the crime of deceiving the king and keep a secret for a scholar.
This did not affect Han Changli's career. Even after learning about this, the emperor was very happy: "The empress has the sage Du Shusheng, and I also have Han Changli. Both civil and military achievements can rival the world!"
Even though Han Changli has not made any great achievements in the short years since taking office, the emperor appreciates and is happy. Who dares to say no?
Even half of the ministers in the court believed that when the old prime minister resigned and returned home one day, the prime minister's position must be the young scholar. How old is he? He is the youngest prime minister in the history of the Tang Dynasty in the future!
Below one person, above millions!
Tonight, Han Changli was wearing a long robe and leaning on the copywriting, holding a chicken-distance pen in his hand. This is not a brush that ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty can use.
Just as I saw a thick stack of memorials in front of him, I picked up a book and read it gently, and sometimes I was at my desk and wrote it.
This is not an easy task. The responsibility of the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy is to help me review memorials today. If the emperor is so tired, it is impossible to read all the memorials like this?
The Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy is responsible for sending back memorials that should not be put into the emperor's eyes and are not worthy of putting them in the emperor's eyes. The memorials that the emperor needs to pay attention to are annotated...
The young Han Changli was not as impatient as an ordinary scholar. He reviewed it very carefully and seriously.
Suddenly, he saw a memorial to the governor of Longdong City, Guannei Road. The beginning of the memorial was not surprising. Like ordinary memorials in other places, most of the things they said were good weather around Longdong City these days, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There was no big deal, and there were also trivial matters. Most of them were some of the lieutenants and the Biangu had a big fight because of something. Tomorrow, the Sima Lai Mansion cried and told him how hard life was...
A memorial that seemed very simple was mostly recorded by Han Changli on another memorial, which listed in detail whether the superior officials of various prefectures, prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty had reported their duties on these days.
But when he saw the end of the memorial, Han Changli was stunned. He quickly browsed it, turned back to the previous page, and read it again. He put down the pen in his hand, as if he had thought deeply.
The candlelight jumped for a long time, and Han Changli was stunned for a long time. He smiled suddenly, then laughed loudly. He looked at the last paragraph of the memorial, and he was almost sure that it was him!
The servant who was originally waiting for the orders outside the door heard laughter in the room, and he only dared to turn around secretly, take a few glances, dared not speak out, and dared not talk to other servants to discuss these matters.
If you say too much, you will lose your head. Who is the one in the house? He is the one who is the one who is around me today, the one who is red and purple.
The servant standing outside the house pretended to be calm, put his hands on his lower abdomen, looked at a thin willow in the distance, and wanted to pretend that he had not heard the movement in the house at all.
But he doubted whether he had heard it wrong. The one in the room seemed to be really calling him. He blinked, turned around quickly, and rushed into the room: "Sir."
Han Changli pinched the memorial in his hand and did not laugh anymore. He rubbed his forehead with his hands, then slowly said: "Help me prepare the horse, and then greet Meng Dongye, and said that your adults will invite him to drink at the cultural party today!"
It's drinking, but not drinking flower wine.
"No!" The servant responded quickly and bowed respectfully. Then he dared to walk out of the house with his head down. However, he was thinking in his heart that this adult was really strange. He refused to even leave the door of the house on weekdays, so why did he suddenly go to the Wenwen drinking party today?
...
But in the vast desert, more than a hundred horse thieves were seen swooping down from the sand dunes in the distance. The bright fire light illuminated their hideous faces. Each horse thieves were like a fierce god, raising the torches and scimitars in their hands.
Strangely, besides the sound of horse hooves and the wind at night, there are fewer shouts from these horse thieves.
Yes, most of the horse thieves shouted to scare away the other party's people, and they might not like to kill people. But now, in the entire caravan, standing in front of the numerous goods, there are only two figures left. Since they did not retreat before, now, no matter how loud they shouted, they might not retreat.
The leading horse thief stopped the horse more than ten meters away. The horse thief behind him did not dare to cross his horse's head, and also stopped one after another.
The leader was a middle-aged man. The man touched his beard on his cheeks and pointed at the two men not far away with a scimitar: "Why did they all run away, but you didn't run away?"
Guo Xiaojiu held the knife and didn't say anything, but just squinted his eyes and looked at the horse thief.
Kuizi squirted from his nose, with a sword in his hand and confidence in his chest. He raised his head high and said rudely: "Our escort agency has no reputation in the Tang Dynasty, and there are still some in Longdong City. This time, all the escorts have returned. Then the business in Longdong City will not be able to be done in the future. Therefore, someone must stay and struggle for reputation, not."
"Great courage!" The horse thief put down his scimitar: "A man, should you follow us? Have wine, meat and women, and be free and easy, how about it?"
"Ha! I have a wife and a child at home. I have had enough time for the first half of my life. I don't have to do anything every day, just keep my head off the belt." Kuizi immediately refused.
"Then you, a young young man?" Ma Thief turned his gaze on Guo Xiaojiu again.
Guo Xiaojiu then looked over again and smiled: "Oh, thank you for your kindness. This is my first time in the world. I don't understand some rules very well, and I always want to understand them."
"What rules?" The horse thief was a little confused. He asked not only Guo Xiaojiu, but also the horse thief around him.
"That's right, after meeting a horse thief, should I kill you in the world? Or should I ignore it?" Guo Xiaojiu said, holding a wine bag and taking a sip with a smile.
"Okay!" The horse thief was not laughing, nor was he really praising. He had already raised the scimitar in his hand: "I don't know how to lift it up, I'll kill you!"
Just as the horse thief finished speaking, before the horse thief behind him could move, Kuizi had already stepped out and rushed out first, letting out anger in his throat, jumped hard, and cut off the neck of a horse thief who was facing him with one sword.
The horse thief had just seen Kuizi's figure and was already dead.
Then, Kuizi kicked the thief's body off the horse's back, sat on the horse's back, lifted the reins, and turned around, facing the many horse's thieves.
In a blink of an eye, Kuizi was already fighting with more than a dozen horse thieves. Kuizi really had some skills, and he could turn around and move around and handle it with ease.
There was a horse thief who was not very eyed. When he saw Guo Xiaojiu standing there, he thought that this silly boy had just pretended to be big, but now it was time to take action, but he was shocked.
The thief hurriedly rode his horse and wanted to cut the boy's head with one knife.
These horse thieves have only three fun in their lives: killing people, drinking, eating meat, and sleeping with women.
When the horse thief was very close to Guo Xiaojiu and wanted to fall with a knife, he covered his neck and saw a hint of fear in his eyes. His mouth was wide open, but he could not make any sound.
The horse thief looked down and saw that his chest was covered with blood. He threw the knife, raised his body back, and fell heavily under the horse's belly.
