“Good said”

Wang Changling became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice suddenly became louder. Now, a sigh of praise suddenly came from beside him.

Facing the Luoyang Palace, it seems that anyone can have a place here, but the one who visits the most is not the foreigners who come to Dongdu for the first time and want to visit the style of Luoyang Palace, but the scholars who travel around the two capitals to seek titles in the imperial examinations, and those who want to pass the Ministry of Personnel's selection and appointment after they have a background. Therefore, after a sigh of praise, among the guests next to them who seemed to be just a leisure time to watch the song and dance, a young man about 35 or 36 years old moved over, raised his wine cup and said to himself to Wang Changling, and after drinking it all, he sneered.

"Now, I don't ask how good my talents are, nor how good my political achievements are. I only look at the official rank and how long I can choose. I miserably have won the Jinshi, but the first official who was elected for three years was actually a county magistrate in the small county in the southwest. If I had known this, why did I struggle in the imperial examination for so many years? I didn't try to find out the classics, but I only wanted to be a Jinshi?"

Seeing that the other person was even more excited than him, Wang Changling was stunned and found that Du Shiyi's face was subtle. He knew that he had just spoken out in public just now, which was really too rude. But he was open-minded by nature, but he was not without arrogance. When he saw others say this, he finally filled a cup of smiles and responded with a smile, but did not take the time to answer the words again. The other party obviously didn't care, so he shrugged and smiled and returned to sit down, but continued to watch the singing and dancing.

At this time, a half drunk young man hit his chopsticks and sang: "The sun is dusk, the bronze sparrow is wide, the autumn is deep, the jade seat is clear, the pine and cypress are looking at, and the cypress is glorious, and the love is gloomy. Your kindness is no longer obtained, but who will I dance for? "

This singing was exactly the same as Hu Ji's rapid rotation, which complemented each other and attracted countless eyes. When Du Shiyi listened to this song of bronze sparrow, he looked over there as if he was thinking about it. Wang Changling shouted in surprise and joy: "It's the ritual of Gaoda's husband. Dafu is very talented and full of knowledge. Could you please ask him to come here for a while?"

Faced with Feng Shaolie's provocation today, in public, rather than meeting Wang Changling at home, Du Shiyi had already thrown away all his concerns and worries for several days. At this moment, when he heard Wang Changling call him like this, from the familiar surname, he had already concluded that it must be Gao Shi, and nodded with a smile. However, after Wang Changling quickly walked over and invited someone, there were two people who came at the same time with him. One of them seemed familiar at first sight. When he was about to speak, he bowed to Jian and said, "Yuyang Xianyuxiang, I have met the Secretariat."

The two words "Register" and "Zhongshu" are very light, and even those who are close to each other are hard to hear. Du Shiyi immediately stood up with a smile. He nodded affectionately, signaled Zhang Xing to move to his side, and gave up his seat to the two people. Then he nodded and said, "I heard before that Zhongtong passed the Jinshi this year, and never thought that he would meet here by chance. If the young uncle had not recognized an acquaintance, he would have missed it even if he was on the first floor."

Gao Shi was already half drunk. Seeing that his friend Xian Yu Zhongtong also recognized the young man opposite him who seemed to be a little younger than him, and he was very respectful to him. He couldn't help but glance at Wang Changling next to him suspiciously and said, "Brother Shao, you just pulled me over, and you didn't tell me clearly. Who is your friend?"

"Kingzhao Du Junli, I have met Gao Lang."

Gao Shi was originally muttering, but when he heard Du Shiyi's voice that was not big or small, but he could hear, he almost didn't stare out. He stared at Du Shiyi for a long time and was sure that no one would joke with him in this kind of thing. When Wang Changling was able to get a beautiful official in the proofreader, he did hear that it was caused by Du Shiyi's introduction to the prime minister and the powerful. He was about to meet him on the week and suddenly burped, and his face turned red. When he was about to salute, Du Shiyi had already held his hand and asked him to sit down. Without any hesitation, he could only sit down, but glared at Wang Changling with a little annoyed.

"Shao Bo's mystery makes me so embarrassed. I won't be able to drink you after I look back."

Wang Changling smiled distractedly, and then he filled the newly-seated two people with half of the master's status. Then he saw that most of the other drinkers around him had just watched curiously and went to enjoy the singing and dancing. Then he looked at Du Shiyi and said, "Jun Li, my words just now are Meng Lang, but it is already harmful to fairness to choose a person according to the qualifications. What's more, Li Shilang, the Minister of Personnel, is only the leader of Pei's horse. It is difficult to choose a good official. And a person with outstanding literary talent like Gundam can't even pass the imperial examination. Is there anything else?"

Gao Shi had just sang, comparing himself with a bronze sparrow genius, bold and straightforward, but at this moment he and Du Shiyi were first acquaintances, and it was inevitable that he was a little restrained. Hearing Wang Changling talked about him, he waved his hand and said, "I am a poor man. Although my words and verses are slightly outstanding, the classics and history are ordinary, and it is not surprising that I failed the exam. However, Zhongtong was already on the list of gold, but after the pass, he encountered a wall everywhere. I knew that I had to be selected for three years when I passed the imperial examination. But I wasted my time like this, traveling around the powerful and powerful doors, and using everything to praise him was a waste of talents."

When Xian Yu Zhongtong stayed in Jiangnan to assist Pei Ning, he had already become an official, but he had to try the Jinshi exam. It was obvious that his ambition was very small. Du Shiyi couldn't help but look at him thoughtfully. Taking advantage of this skill, Wang Changling had already introduced Zhang Xing to Gao Shi and Xian Yu Zhongtong. Although Zhang Xing was still an unknown person in the Eastern Capital, the position of the Hedong Jiedu Secretary undoubtedly means that Zhang Xing was extremely trusted and valued by Du Shiyi, so both of them couldn't help but curiously look at this big black man with a figure that looked like a warrior. The latter had already seen a famous scholar and talent when he was in Daizhou. At this moment, he was calm and composed, which made Wang Changling Gao Shi and Xian Yu Zhongtong respect him a little more.

"Since the young master is in his rank and he is unwilling to stay in Chang'an, do you intend to travel far away?"

These days, not every official can continue his next term immediately after his term ends. If he does not have enough background and talent, most of them will have candidates ranging from three to four years. So, when Du Shiyi asked this, Wang Changling was stunned. At this time, Gao Shi immediately slapped the table and said, "I am planning to travel around Jibei. What about Shao Bo and me? If Zhongtong is willing, he might as well go together..."

As soon as Gao Shi finished speaking, Du Shiyi interrupted: "I just returned from the north. Although I had not really obtained the battle of King Xin'an before, I was not really injured, but the Khitan and the Xi Ren's rebellion tribe were quite damaged and I dare not invade Youzhou for the time being. In contrast, if any of you three plan to travel far, I would recommend going to the Western Regions."

"Western Regions?"

Whether before or after becoming an official, the Tang people had the habit of traveling around the world. Even in the distant Western Regions, they had left countless literati and poets' footprints and calligraphy. Therefore, none of the three people thought there was anything wrong with Du Shiyi's suggestion. Wang Changling even touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Western Regions? I was short of money before, but I had never been to such a far place..."

"If it weren't for the poor family, I would have gone directly to the Western Regions to enjoy the magnificent scenery after leaving home." Gao Shi looked at Du Shiyi curiously and said, "Does the Secretary of the Central Committee have some special concerns about the Western Regions?"

"I want to know what the scene is like in Anxi Protectorate further west to Helong, or even further west." Seeing that all the four people around him showed puzzled expressions, Du Shiyi said in a deep voice, "The food in the west has begun to rise about nearly a hundred years ago, and will fight eastward. Sooner or later, it may continue to move westward to the border of our Tang Dynasty."

"Dashi? There are many Dashi merchants in the two capitals, rich and generous. I have seen several people who say that their country is a treasure land with gold and milk, and they are strong and powerful, and they will win every battle." Gao Shi suddenly frowned thoughtfully, and then asked curiously, "Listen to what the Secretariat said, I seem to know a good understanding of the far west land?"

Du Shiyi dipped a little wine and started drawing it on the table. After he roughly drew a map of many countries west of the Tang Dynasty, he saw that Zhang Xing, Gao Shi, Wang Changling, and Yu Zhongtong all showed solemn and incredible expressions. The idea of ​​the Celestial Kingdom has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people from the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. Even though Chinese silk was sold far away from Rome as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, few Chinese merchants were willing to travel so far, and most of them were transported back to their country by merchants from all over the country. Therefore, especially when they saw the huge land of Dashi that was not inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty, they all felt a stern heart.

"I was planning to travel far away, I'll go." Wang Changling sipped without saying a word and said with a sigh, but immediately afterwards, a voice came from his side.

"Brother Shao, you are an official of a background, stay at the candidates and be serious, I'll go to the Western Regions"

Seeing that Gao Shi and Wang Changling were fighting, Xian Yu Zhongtong had another problem, so he simply didn't fight. Sure enough, Du Shiyi smiled and bowed and said, "The journey of the Western Regions is long. Shao Bo and Dafu should be together, so there is a way to take care of him. And this trip cannot be returned in one or two days. Since it was proposed by me, I will help the two Cheng Yi 500 cents."

Five hundred stag, or 500,000 yuan, is enough for ordinary families to spend decades, so Wang Changling and Gao Shi looked at each other and did not refuse. Just because of the poor men, would they sleep in the Western Regions? Therefore, when the two of them left for a while, they all had excited smiles on their faces, and Xian Yu Xiang suddenly asked: "The Secretary of the Central Committee sent Shao Bo and Dafu to the Western Regions not just to understand the big food or the geographical and human feelings of the Western Regions?"

Du Shiyi was always impressed by Xianyu Xiang's knowledge of the times and his knowledge of advancing and retreating, and also had a good evaluation of his talent. At this moment, he did not deny it, nodded and replied: "Dafu was just an unexpected gain. As for Shaobo, his temperament will bring disaster to himself in the two capitals sooner or later, especially now. Zhongtong, since you are a candidate in Beijing, then come and help me."

Xian Yu Zhongtong has not yet visited Du's house to submit a post to meet because Du Shiyi has been so low-key that it is confusing to see him. At this moment, he heard another major reason for letting Wang Changling go to the Western Regions, and facing such an invitation, he was immediately excited.
