"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Kongming also didn't leave his house, so why did he have Longzhong Duel?”
Yang Hao glanced at him. Of course, he couldn't tell the old man about the world's major events that he knew from the future history books, but it didn't mean that he couldn't use other excuses to brush it off.
The old man was even more surprised to see Yang Hao using Zhuge Kongming as a self-proclaimed title. But if it was really as he said, then his trip this time could be said to have been a fruitful one.
For a moment, Li Yuan looked at the table full of food and felt that he could not eat. He only wanted to go back and confirm what he said. He stood up and said,
"I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave now. I'll bring my grandson back in the future.”
With that, he left in a hurry.
"Old man, this junior and my son will send you off.”Yang Jingming quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up. He didn't dare to be careless with his future sugar daddy. He dragged Yang Hao up and followed the old man out of the door.
"Old man, thank you for today.”Yang Hao waved his hand at him before parting and grinned.
The old man knew that he was talking about the examination questions. He waved his hand to indicate that it was a small matter and strode out of Yangxing Village.

Taiji Palace.
Li Yuan's face was dark as he walked in the direction of the Dew Palace. After entering the palace, he immediately called for the guards and said,"Go, call the Crown Prince over!"
The guard hurriedly bowed.
Soon, Li Er came with a puzzled face and said respectfully,""Father, your son is here."
"You've been in charge of the matters in the east of the river.”Li Yuan didn't waste any time and went straight to the point with a solemn expression,"Tell me, what's the situation over there now?”
As for matters of government, especially when it was under his jurisdiction, Li Er blurted out,
"Today, we just received the official document from Hedong Xingtai to return to the capital. The bandits there have just been pacified, and the people are cheering for it. The post horse even brought back a letter of gratitude to the imperial court.”
Li Yuan immediately frowned. Nothing happened in the east of the river? Then why would Yang Hao say that to him? Could it be that the kid made it up?
"Shi Min, send a trusted aide to the east of the river and bypass those officials.”Li Yuan still didn't believe that Yang Hao would lie to him. He looked at Li Shi Min with a serious expression and said,"You must send your confidant to investigate properly!”
"Your son will obey."
Li Shi Min nodded his head heavily. He was silent for a few seconds before he said hesitantly,"Father, do you think that the officials in the east of the river are deliberately hiding the truth from the court, but something big has actually happened in the east of the river?”
Li Yuan shook his head. In fact, he didn't know either. However, this matter was related to the upcoming national policy. Moreover, Yang Hao had said that he had to be careful. He said solemnly,"I just feel that as for whether the officials in the east of the river have deceived their superiors and deceived their subordinates, and whether the Book of the People brought back by the post horse is true or false, we will naturally find out after sending your confidant there. How long do you think it will take to go from Chang 'an to the east of the river and back?”
"Half a day is enough," Li Er said without hesitation.”
Li Yuan nodded slightly. It seemed that it would be around the same time as the imperial examination. He said,"Then let's do this first. You will personally take charge of this matter. In addition, for this imperial examination, Chang 'an County's article will be titled' Is the relationship between the court and the Turks slow or at war'.”
"Father, you came up with the questions yourself?" Li Er asked in surprise.”
"Can't I?" Li Yuan asked.
Yes, of course you can. Even if you can't, you have to. You're Tian Zi. Do you think your words are okay or not? However, a dignified emperor actually set a question for a mere county examination. This was more than just using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. It was simply unimaginable!
Li Er suddenly felt that he had misspoken. There were ten thousand questions in his heart, but he did not dare to say them out loud. He quickly apologized,"I misspoke."
" In addition…" Li Yuan thought about what happened to Yang Hao and his son today."I want you to do something. Chang 'an Magistrate Yang Zuan, Yang Xuqing, go and handle it personally. I'm tired. If there's nothing important, don't bother me.”
Li Er nodded and bowed.”
Not far from the Dew Hall, Li Er stopped in his tracks and turned around to look in the direction of the hall. He fell into deep thought for a long time.
Ever since his father came out of the village called "Yangxing Village" yesterday, he seemed to have changed into a different person. First, he imprisoned his eldest brother and third brother in the Eastern Palace, and then he made himself the crown prince.
And now, his father had faintly sensed that something was wrong in Hedong. He had even mentioned that this year's Chang 'an County examination had implicated Chang' an County Magistrate Yang Zuan.
All of this was related to Yangxing Village!
Could it be that there was an expert in that village who had been giving his father advice? Moreover, his father respected him very much and did not hesitate to go there personally instead of summoning him.
Li Er couldn't help but feel envious. He really wanted to meet such an expert. Perhaps that person had the demeanor of an immortal, or was like an immortal Taoist priest. He had white hair and a youthful face, which was admirable.
————
At this moment, the white-haired and ruddy "expert" whom Li Er had imagined to be an immortal was holding a ruler made of bamboo and staring at his father, who was trembling all over.
"'The hen is in the morning, the only rope in the house', Yang Hao, do you still want to hit your father?”Yang Jingming looked at the ferule in his hand in horror. This thing was his nightmare when he was a child. He didn't expect it to reappear today.
However, the person holding the ferule was not the Headmaster of the Academy.
It was his son, Yang Hao!
