Li Er was very depressed. Just as he was chatting happily, the rainstorm actually stopped. The most important thing was that he hadn't asked what he wanted to ask the most.
This storm was really going against him in every way.
Lin Chen could see that Li Er was a little reluctant and said with a faint smile,"It's already late and my humble abode is very simple. I really can't accommodate you all. Old Huang, please return.”
"We'll talk again when we have the chance."
Since he had already said so much, Li Er would be a little shameless if he didn't leave.
"In that case, we will take our leave. Thank you for taking us in, Mister Lin.”Li Er cupped his fists.
"You're welcome. Didn't you pay?”
Lin Chen smiled." Let's go. I'll send you out of the forest."”
"Thank you."
Li Er and the others bid farewell to Lin Zi Xuan and her siblings and followed Lin Chen out of the house.
On the way, Li Er asked," Talking to Mister Lin is like a long drought meeting dew. It has benefited me greatly. I wonder when I can consult Mister Lin again."”
"Old Yellow, you want a way to enter the forest so that you can enter Steamed Bun Village at any time, right?"”
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." "I just want to be friends with you, Mr. Lin."”
"I wonder if Mister Lin is willing to befriend this mediocre person.”
Lin Chen smiled." You're a good person. I can chat with you.”
"Alright, I'll make you my friend.”
As he spoke, Lin Chen took out a flute from his pocket." I can't give you the conch flute. Take this flute. Follow my words and play it outside the forest. I'll come and see you when I hear it."”
Li Er hurriedly put away the flute as if he had obtained a precious treasure." Thank you, Mr. Lin."”
"Haha, you're too polite."
"But friends are friends. We still have to pay the money that we should pay.”
Eh? Li Er smiled bitterly and shook his head." Okay, definitely."”
They chatted as they walked, and soon, they arrived outside the forest.
Lin Chen cupped his fists and said,"I'll send you all here. See you again."”
Li Er cupped his fists and bowed." Mister Lin, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it.”
"You're welcome. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
"Yes." Li Er pondered for a moment and then said,"Mister Lin is a great talent. You are both skilled in both literature and martial arts. You can be said to be unparalleled in the country."”
"I wonder if Mister Lin has considered becoming an official in the court?
"With a great talent like Mister Lin, you will definitely be able to take to the court like a fish in water.”
"If I can become a marquis in the future, it will also bring glory to my family.”
"Entering the court as an official?" Lin Chen smiled when he heard this. Hehe, I don't have that kind of thought."
"Moreover, it's not that easy to become an official in the court.”
Li Eryi was startled." Now that the Great Tang is carrying out the imperial examination, all the students in the world can pass the imperial examination and enter the court. With Mister Lin's talent, it will be very easy for him to pass the imperial examination.”
"Old Yellow, you're thinking too simply.”
"The imperial examinations have been implemented for a few years now, and a few batches of students have been selected to enter the court.”
"But look at those students. How many of them are commoners?”
"The current imperial examinations are just a political method for clans to enter the imperial court.”
"How can it be our turn?”
Li Er was shocked again. Is this how my imperial examination is?
If that was the case, then what was the use of him carrying out the imperial examinations?
At this moment, Li Er's heart felt as if it had been overturned. He had all kinds of feelings.
Although he had read the essays of the selected students, he had never investigated the origins of these students.
If it was really as Lin Chen said, then he really had to investigate.
Otherwise, the imperial examination would be useless.
"Alright, it's getting late. Goodbye.”Lin Chen cupped his fists and turned to leave.
Li Er and the others also turned around and headed back to Chang 'an Fortress.
On the way, Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling and asked,""What do you think of Lin Chen?"
Fang Xuanling cupped his fists." Lin Chen is indeed talented. His thinking and understanding are unique.”
"If you can become an official, you will definitely become a pillar of the Great Tang.”
"But…"
Li Er raised his eyebrows." But what?”
"It's just that this person is too noble and I'm afraid he won't be used by Your Majesty.”Fang Xuanling answered truthfully.
"Hehe, I have the same feeling." Li Er chuckled.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this matter first. I want to ask you, is my imperial examination like what Lin Chen said?”
Fang Xuanling's forehead broke out in cold sweat." I dare not lie to you."”
"In recent years, the imperial court has indeed selected no commoners.”
"They are all from the five surnames, seven surnames, or some large clans.”
Li Er's face darkened." Good, how dare you go against my orders!”
"Fang Xuanling, listen up!"
"Your subject is here!"
"I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter who is involved, all of them will be dealt with heavily!”
"Zhen's imperial examinations are for the commoners to enter the path of being an official, not for those clans to play with the dignitaries!
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Li Er gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing. This time, he must get rid of the cancer that obstructed the imperial examination system.
Otherwise, the positions of the five surnames and seven Wangs would never be shaken.
……
The Imperial Palace, Dew Palace.
Li Er walked in.
"This servant, this servant welcomes Your Majesty." The palace maids and eunuchs bowed.
"Where's the Empress?" Li Er asked when he saw that there was no one in the Dew Hall.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the Empress is in the Hall of Eternal Joy?”
"The Empress left a message saying that His Majesty has returned and will report to His Majesty. The Empress wants to persuade Princess Chang Le to let go of the grudge in her heart.”
When Li Er heard this, his expression eased up a lot."Guanyin is still on Zhen's side."
"Although there was some unhappiness before, she still regards me as her master.”
The palace maid saluted and asked,"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Hall of Eternal Joy?"”
"No need. Zhen will wait here.”
"Yes."
In the Hall of Eternal Joy.
Zhangsun Wugou and Li Lizhi had a long chat.
In the past few days, Li Lizhi's face had become more and more haggard, and Zhangsun Wugou's heart ached.
"Zhi 'er, you can't go on like this. Your body won't be able to take it.”
"Mother is begging you, eat some imperial food.”Zhangsun Wugou advised gently.
Li Lizhi smiled bitterly and shook her head." Mother, your son really has no appetite.”
"Your son has been locked in the palace for five years. I miss you day and night, I don't know what to eat, and I can't sleep at night.”
"Mother, if you really care for your son, then think of a way to let your son leave the palace.”
"Your son will recite scriptures and pray for mother day and night to thank mother.”
"Zhi 'er, you…"
Zhangsun Wugou sighed." Forget it, forget it. A grown woman really can't be kept.”
"Since you can't change your mind even after five years, it proves that you really love him.”
"Alright, mother will help you leave the palace!"
"Really?" Li Lizhi was excited, but she soon became sad.
"Your son thanks mother, but father has trapped your son to death, so mother probably can't help your son.”
Zhangsun Wugou held Li Lizhi's hand and said softly,""I'll tell you the truth."
"Today, mother came to find you because she had a way to deal with it.”
"Really?" Li Lizhi was ecstatic again.
