At the Provincial Governor's Office. In the study room.
"Men, quickly invite Young Master Heng over. Immediately! Immediately!" Provincial Governor Zheng shouted.
"Here!"
The servant girl hurriedly ran to call for help.
A moment later, Zheng Heng arrived.
"Seventh Brother, why did you call me so urgently?"
"Thirteenth brother, I'll write another letter to my family. I'll have to trouble you to send it back to the clan tonight. He told the clan leader that it would be too late if the Zheng clan didn't set the engagement now! We'll definitely regret it in the future. Definitely, definitely!”
Provincial Governor Zheng shouted loudly, his heart filled with grief and indignation.
Seeing his elder brother in such a state, Zheng Heng was extremely shocked. He hurriedly asked,"Seventh Brother, what happened? Wasn't he just a child from a Humble Class? Why was Seventh Brother so nervous and eager to marry the daughter of the Zheng Family?”
"What's the matter? Humph!"
"Don't you know that the Emperor has issued an edict to that child?" Provincial Governor Zheng snorted coldly.”
"I know!" Zheng Heng nodded." Two days ago, I met the Angel Carriage on my way here. Wasn't it the Emperor's order to summon the child to Chang 'an to meet the Emperor? What was so strange about this? There are more than ten people in the Zheng family who are officials in the court. They can see the emperor every two or three days.”
"Then do you know that the emperor has issued an edict again?”
What was that?
Another imperial edict?
"Seventh Brother, when did this happen?" Zheng Heng was shocked.”
"Just now! The imperial edict ordered Li Jing to add one more provincial examination in Jingzhou and only give it to that child. Not only that, but Chang 'an would also have an additional exam on the first day of next month.”
Hiss!
Zheng Heng was stunned by this shocking news.
Opening a system for one person was something that had never happened in the Great Tang.
Was Tian Zi crazy?
Would those ministers agree to such a crazy move?
"They, agree!"
Provincial Governor Zheng enunciated each word with a serious expression."Not only did the emperor agree, the nine ministers also agreed. Even the representatives of the Cui Family of Qinghe, Censor Cui, and the Li Family of Longxi, Protector Li, spokesperson for the Lu family of Fanyang: General Lu Zhonglang and our Zheng family's third brother, the Great General of the Right Military Guard…These thousand-year-old families have all agreed!”
Boom!
These words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Zheng Heng's heart.
At this moment, Zheng Heng's jaw dropped. He was extremely shocked.
The emperor agreed, the nine ministers agreed, the aristocratic families agreed, and the officials of the Humble Class agreed…All of these added up to the power of the entire Great Tang!
That seven-year-old child actually had such shocking abilities that the entire world agreed with him.
Heavens!
It was too terrifying!
It was too terrifying!
Ever since the founding of the Great Tang, there had never been an agreement between all the factions.
And today, it actually appeared.
Just for a child, a seven-year-old child?？？
"Seventh brother, I…I…"
Zheng Heng hesitated for a long time, unable to say anything.
Provincial Governor Zheng didn't say anything more and immediately went to write a letter on the desk.
He knew that his Thirteenth Brother should have understood.
If the Zheng family didn't pay attention to it this time, then the thousand-year-old family wouldn't live up to its name.
……
Fifteen minutes later.
After Provincial Governor Zheng finished writing the letter, he quickly sealed it and solemnly handed it to Zheng Heng.
"Thirteenth Brother, I won't say much. Tell the clan leader to quickly send someone to get engaged and ask for the Zheng family's Di daughter, Di daughter, Di daughter!”
Provincial Governor Zheng repeated the important words three times.
Hearing this, Zheng Heng nodded heavily. I'll be on my way at full speed. I'll definitely be back home before the sun rises again.”
"For the sake of the Zheng family, I'll leave it to you!”
"Seventh Brother, don't worry! I won't let you down!"
Zheng Heng bowed before taking his leave and hurriedly leaving the Provincial Governor's Estate.
On the other side. In the garden of the manor.
Chen An was playing hide-and-seek in the back garden with the maidservants of the Provincial Governor's Estate.
They had a great time!
At this moment, Li Jing arrived.
"Chen An! His Majesty has agreed to your request."
What? He agreed? Promise what?
Chen An was a little confused. How cute.
"Aren't you going to take the imperial examination? His Majesty has decreed that in three days, there will be an additional provincial examination in Jing State. You will take it alone. On the first day of the next month, there would be an additional exam in Chang 'an.”
Chen An was very happy when he heard this. He imitated the adults and said,""Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Haha!"
"Chen An, do you need any books?" Li Jing asked with a bright smile. I'll get Provincial Governor Zheng to help you find it. Read more books. The examination in three days was set by the emperor and the important officials of the court. It was extremely difficult!”
What? Reading books?
Haha!
Even if the baby starved to death, died of thirst, or fell off a cliff, he would not read.
The young ladies here spoke nicely and were beautiful. There were also many fruits to eat.
The Provincial Governor's Mansion was super fun!
"No! I don't want to read books, I want to play hide-and-seek!”
After saying that, the little fellow ran away and ran to play hide-and-seek with the servant girls, playing happily.
Seeing this scene, Li Jing opened his mouth, wanting to give a few words of advice.
However, in an instant, he gave up.
The talent of a child prodigy is more than ten times greater than mine. What right did he have to order the child prodigy to read?
Wasn't this the same as " a bad student telling a top student to study hard "?
What a joke!
"Forget it, I won't embarrass myself. I'd better go and arrange the various matters of the Regional Examination! Hey-"
Li Jing let out a long sigh and turned to leave the back garden.
……
Time flew by.
When dawn broke the next day, Zheng Heng and his group finally rushed back to the clan.
"What is it? The emperor for that child to open the state examination and system division?”
The Zheng Clan Leader and his clansmen were shocked.
"Yes!"
" Yes!" Zheng Heng nodded heavily and said," Perhaps the news from Chang 'an will soon reach this county!"”
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Report! The Third Young Master of Chang 'an sent a letter to his family, and the words' urgent 'were written on the letter!”
The butler rushed into the study and handed the letter to the Zheng Family Patriarch.
The so-called Third Young Master was an important official of the Zheng family in the court. Right Wu Wei General and inspection right Wei, right commander general military-Zheng Rentai.
To the clan, the letter from Third Son Zheng was much more important than Provincial Governor Zheng.
The clan leader immediately opened the letter and quickly read it.
As he read, his expression changed.
A moment later, the clan leader handed the letter to everyone and said,"Rentai said in the letter that the prodigy of Jingzhou descended from the heavens, and his talent was more than ten times that of Li Jing. The imperial court held a provincial examination and made a system for him, so that the clan could go to Jingzhou as soon as possible to rope in this child.”
What was that? Ten times stronger than Li Jing?
Heavens!
Did Zheng Sanzi make a mistake? Li Jing was born in an official's family, and his literary talent and military strategy were famous all over the world.
Such a character was actually inferior to a seven-year-old child?
"Yes!"
The Zheng Clan Leader's face was solemn, and his heart was heavy.""Rentai said in the letter: These words are the original words in Li Jing's memorial.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone was shocked speechless.
One breath, ten breaths, a hundred breaths…
A moment later, a loud roar sounded.
"Hurry up! Quickly think about who among the younger generation in the clan is around seven years old. We need to rope in that child. Quick, quick, quick!”
With this roar, the Zheng Family people began to discuss crazily.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Heng couldn't help but sigh.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it in the first place!
By now, the entire world probably knew about the news of that "child prodigy descending from the heavens".
He was in Jing State.
The head of the five surnames and seven sects, the Cui Clan of Qinghe, had probably also started to take action.
What was the path of aristocratic families?
Finding the strong, recruiting the strong, investing…
No matter how the world changed, how dynasties rose and fell, the aristocratic families would always stand on the side of the victors.
Just like at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the three Zhuge brothers each joined the Han, Cao, and Sun families, no matter who unified the world in the end, the Zhuge family would always have a winner.
This was the survival and inheritance of aristocratic families.
Of course, compared to the Zhuge family, the five surnames and seven sects were more skilled in this aspect…
