The heavens start from saving Daming

Li Sanlang, who experienced the Tang Long coup in his early years and took power at the beginning, and who created the Kaiyuan prosperity in his middle age, had super self-confidence in himself when he entered his later years.

He believed that he could control everything, even if Li Yunze showed great ambition, he didn't care about it.

What's wrong with recruiting some talents, even if it is to raise a group of royal soldiers?

No matter what, can it be compared to Princess Taiping back then?

This aunt who was almost the second queen was easily handled by himself, and the rest were nothing to worry about.

Li Sanlang, who has a strong self-confidence, believes that he can control everything. He is not ignorant of the following things. As long as it does not affect his enjoyment, he will turn a blind eye.

The prince or something, the most indispensable thing in the Tang Dynasty is the prince.

And from the beginning of Yin Wang Li Jiancheng to the present, which of the princes in the past has a good end?

But even so, Li Sanlang still told Gao Lishi aloud, "Lishi, you have to take good care of Shouwang Mansion."

Gao Lishi, who existed as if invisible before, immediately bowed and saluted, "Only, the old minister takes orders."

After finishing the work, Gao Lishi returned to his yard, but outside the door, he saw a small yellow door holding a wooden box in his arms.

"Are you Gao Jinzhong from Shouwang Mansion?"

When the Prince of the Tang Dynasty became an adult, when he opened his teeth and built his mansion, all the servants in the mansion, Huangmen, were dispatched from the palace.

And the person in charge of this power is naturally Gao Lishi.

He has a good memory, and he still remembers the little yellow gate he sent out.

"Meet my father-in-law~~~"

The word father-in-law is really not a random name. You can only get this kind of honor after you reach a certain status.

In film and television dramas, everyone who sees calls father-in-law, that will offend people.

Gao Lishi is a fine person, he has been with Li Longji for so many years, and his eyesight is really poisonous.

Just glance at the exquisite wooden box held by Xiao Huangmen, and immediately understand the purpose of his visit.

"Ah."

Gao Lishi pushed open the door to let the followers retreat, and called Gao Jinzhong, "Come in."

Gao Jinzhong's surname is not Gao, let alone Gao Jinzhong.

It's just that the millennium-old traditions in the palace are the same. Eunuchs who don't have sons like to adopt sons to satisfy their regret of not being able to carry on the family.

As the most powerful eunuch in the Daming Palace, Gao Lishi naturally had many godsons.

It's just that Gao Jinzhong is not his godson, because the level is not enough.

He, Gao Jinzhong, is just the godson of Gao Lishi's godson, and if he tries to force a relationship, he can be regarded as his godson.

Of course, Gao Lishi has too many godsons and godsons.

"Go ahead."

Sitting down on the chair, Gao Lishi lifted his robe, "What's the matter?"

"Back to business."

With a flattering smile on Gao Jinzhong's face, he respectfully brought the wooden box in his hand, "The young one is ordered by my king to send a copybook written by Wang Youjun for my father-in-law to appreciate."

"Oh?"

When Gao Lishi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

He reached out to take the wooden box, opened it and saw that there was indeed a copybook lying in the silk cloth.

"My king told me that he got this copybook recently. He said it belonged to Wang Youjun, but he was afraid that it was a fake." Gao Jinzhong spoke clearly, "I heard that my father-in-law is a great calligrapher, so I ordered my little one to send it to him for appreciation."

Everyone knows that this is giving gifts.

It's just that he is also particular about giving gifts.

With Gao Lishi's status and status, he would most likely not accept money and silk directly due to the sensitivity of his status.

So it's an elegant thing to switch to giving antiques, and you have to have antiques that suit your heart.

Wang Youjun's copybook is indeed a very valuable antique in this era, and it is very suitable for Gao Lishi.

And you can't just say that it was given to you, it has to be sent in the name of asking you to help appreciate it.

As for how long you want to appreciate, that's up to you.

Gao Lishi is naturally not short of money, after all, there are too many people who give him gifts every year, just say a few words in front of Li Sanlang, a million dollars is nothing.

However, this person is arty and elegant, and he knows everything in calligraphy, painting and rhythm, and he considers himself a famous official.

So giving him Wang Youjun's copybook can be regarded as a match for his liking.

Sure enough, Gao Lishi, who had excellent eyesight, opened it and looked at it for a while, and he was sure that this was definitely the authentic work of Wang Youjun.

For this gift, he naturally liked it very much.

Closing the copybook, Gao Lishi narrowed his eyes and stared at his god-grandson, "What can King Shou have to say to me?"

This is to ask, what is the King of Shou asking for in sending me such a heavy gift.

If you can help, and you can help, then it's easy to say.

But if you want too much and violate any taboo, then this copybook must be a fake, you should take it back.

Gao Jinzhong smiled and complimented, "My great king said that I have admired my father-in-law's calligraphy and painting for a long time, and my king is also a person who likes elegance. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to get the masterpiece of my father-in-law."

This is very clear, I don't ask you to do anything for help now, just take a line to make some connections, and save the favor for a rainy day.

Gao Lishi naturally understood, but he was caught in a dilemma.

Almost everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Wu Hui wanted to promote King Shou to the throne.

If you accept the gift, it will definitely fall on this when you return the favor in the future.

He didn't want to get involved in the establishment of the crown prince, but he really liked this copybook written by Wang Youjun, so he fell into a dilemma for a while.

Fortunately, Gao Lishi quickly made a decision, "If that's the case, then I will help you appreciate it."

The reason why he accepted it was because Gao Lishi knew the power of Concubine Wu Hui in the palace, and also knew that Li Linfu's faction who followed the lead of Concubine Wu Hui was becoming more and more powerful in the court, and at the same time, he saw the ambition of King Shou with his own eyes.

No matter how you look at it, King Shou has the upper hand in the matter of establishing a crown prince, so he is naturally pushing the boat along and selling favors.

Both the harem and court have strong support forces, and King Shou himself is even more aggressive and ambitious, and even asked to form his own team in front of the emperor.

In Gao Lishi's view, Zhang Jiuling, the backer of the court, is more and more unpopular compared to his mother and concubine's early death in the palace. Zhang Jiuling, who is also a busy prince, naturally has a better chance of winning.

After Gao Jinzhong left, Gao Lishi spread the copybook on the desk and observed it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

He even studied ink, laid paper and brushed it himself, and copied it.

He is not short of money or power, and the beauty is weak, so naturally he is more and more interested in such elegant things.

Satisfied, he put down the pen in his hand, picked up the copied copybook and gently dried the ink marks, admiring, "A certain family's writing power is as strong as Wang Youjun's four successes."

Putting down the copied copybook, he carefully collected Wang Youjun's copybook.

Calling Xiaohuangmen to serve tea, he took a sip from the tea bowl and fell into deep thought.

After being silent for a while, he called his confidants to come over and told him, "Go and inform the people who are arranged in Shouwang's mansion. If there is nothing serious, you don't have to report everything in Shouwang's mansion."

"only."

So, gift giving is indeed useful.

Li Yunze returned to the palace, and saw Li Bai who was waiting for him.

He didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "This king wants to enlist Mr. Pi to be the state decree of Shouwang's mansion, and to be in charge of judging the country. I don't know what Mr. will do?"

In the Tang Dynasty, there was only one person in the prince's mansion, the prince's master, who was in charge of training, picketing and investigating accidents, that is, the master of the prince.

This position is very high, but it is a senior official from the third rank.

Wang Fu of Shouwang Mansion resigned due to illness before, and no new one has been appointed yet.

Li Yunze planned to let Li Linfu take up this post, naturally not to let Li Linfu teach Yunyun, but to tie him firmly to his chariot to escort him into the East Palace.

The reason why he wholeheartedly wants to be in charge of the East Palace is that the prince's inner mansion can only have more than a hundred guards, that is to say, there can only be more than a hundred personal soldiers in the palace.

The six rates of the prince in the East Palace are divided into the rate of the prince's left and right guards, the rate of the left and right ministers, and the rate of the left and right Qing Dao.

Each rate can lead three to five Zhechong mansions, and Zhechong mansions are divided into upper, middle and lower ranks, with a force of 200, 1000 and 800 respectively.

Calculated in this way, the Prince's Mansion can bring as many as [-] to [-] soldiers from various places in Chang'an City.

Of course, in the era of Li Sanlang, it is naturally impossible for the prince to have so much military power, and more of it is only in name.

But for Li Yunze, this was enough, even with only a few thousand real soldiers, it was enough for him to break through the Xuanwu Gate.

The civil positions in the Prince's Mansion, apart from Guofu, are those with the highest national order from the seventh rank, and then down to Da Nong, Guowei, Guocheng, Yinjian and so on.

The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were not as unified as the Song and Ming Dynasties. In this era, the imperial examinations were almost monopolized by aristocratic families and noble children. Otherwise, if you want to get ahead, you need to go through traditional conquest.

Li Bai thought that he was hopeless in the imperial examination, so he kept running around for many years, all he wanted was to be recruited by powerful people.

After waiting for more than ten years, this wish has finally come true.

Li Bai, with hot eyes, bowed his hands to Li Yunze respectfully and saluted, "My subject, Li Bai, is willing to serve the king!"

Li Yunze, who was smiling, immediately stepped forward to help him, "This king can help Mr. Xiao, if you can get Xiao He and Zhang's ovary~~~"

It’s good to listen to these flattering words. Anyway, it depends on Li Bai’s alcoholic preference, coupled with his wild and unruly style, and his personality of spraying directly at every turn. A fish in water.

Regardless of Li Yunze's duplicity, Li Bai, who had fulfilled his wish for many years, was extremely excited.

Opening his mouth is about to do things for Li Yunze, as if he is now a busy prime minister.

"There just happens to be something for Mr. to do here."

"Although your majesty speaks out, even if you go through fire and water, you will not hesitate!"

"There is no need to go through fire and water." Li Yunze was amused. "This king has accepted the emperor's order to go to Dongdu to preside over this year's imperial examination. The preparations for this matter will be left to the state order."

"Only~~~"

There are quite a few celebrities participating in the imperial examination in the eastern capital. In addition to the famous Du Fu, there are also Meng Haoran whose fate is similar to Li Bai, Wang Zhihuan who wrote "Climbing the Stork Tower" and "Liangzhou Ci", and Cen Shen who is good at writing frontier poems. and others.

Regarding these people, Li Yunze planned to bring them all under his command.

In addition, there are Yan Zhenqing, Wang Wei, Wang Changling and others who are now not well-known as petty officials, and Li Yunze is also planning to be in the bag.

Guo Ziyi, Li Siye and the others were also in the early stage, and they were also Li Yunze's targets.

This is a star-studded era, with countless famous officials and generals gathered here, Li Yunze can't just watch Li Sanlang ruin them all.

He wants to give these people the chance to truly show their talents!
