Li Qinzai really didn't dare to agree. The scientific examination was too sensitive, especially now that the overt and covert struggles between the imperial power and the aristocratic families were becoming more and more intense. The scientific examination affected the interests of too many parties.
Although arithmetic is a relatively small field, with only a few dozen people recruiting scholars. But as long as you are "recruiting scholars", you must be an official, and as long as you are an official, you must be a piece of fat.
Everyone wants to eat fat. Some students and supervisors who are branded as aristocratic families will inevitably focus on the unpopular subject of arithmetic when they are unable to study in high school, and then they will try their best to stuff people.
If Li Qinzai raises the issue, how much pressure will he face and how many forces will he offend?
The matter was so big that Li Qinzai felt that he could not bear it.
Empress Wu saw Li Qinzai's expression changing, and hesitated several times. She was smart and intelligent, and she immediately understood Li Qinzai's thoughts, but she smiled sweetly and said: "It's still early for the scientific examination. Jingchu will think about it slowly before giving an answer. Don't be hasty for a while."
."
Li Qinzai walked down the steps and said hurriedly: "Yes, I will consider it seriously."
He raised his eyes and met Empress Wu inadvertently. Empress Wu's eyes were very peaceful. She didn't know whether it was because she and Li Zhi had recently regained some relationship as husband and wife, or because her situation was indeed big enough and she no longer cared about the small grudge she had with Li Qinzai.
In short, Empress Wu's eyes no longer had the sharp and cold look before, but instead looked like a gentle sister-in-law who softly persuaded Da Lang to take medicine...
"What are you doing standing around here? Come on, let's continue playing cards!" Li Zhi greeted loudly: "The stuff Jingchu came up with is really good. Although it's not the right way, it's also a good way to have fun. I really get more and more addicted to it the more I play.
.”
After playing to the end, even though Empress Wu kept feeding cards, Li Zhi still couldn't get it right, and the game ended up being a failure.
Empress Wu rubbed the mahjong with her hands on the table and said with a smile: "After your majesty returns to the palace, you might as well ask the craftsman to make a pair of mahjong tiles. When your majesty is free, I would like to accompany you to relieve your boredom."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Very good, let's do it like this. However, the mahjong tiles can be made of jade, unlike Jing Chu's bamboo set, which is vulgar and stingy and not interesting."
Li Qinzai grinned: "Your majesty and queen, you two are happy as you are..."
I feel a little disappointed. From top to bottom in the Tang Dynasty, no one cares about "intellectual copyright". Just use it and use it confidently, as if it gives you enough face.
Are you not going to get paid for plagiarizing my mahjong ideas?
As soon as the cards were laid, Li Zhi suddenly said: "Did you fool me? Why didn't anyone give me money?"
As soon as these words came out, even Empress Wu was shocked.
The boss is obviously a loser, why do you have the nerve to ask for money?
Li Qinzai was amazed, an emperor is an emperor, and besides the royal way there is also domineering, commonly known as Mingqiang.
Just when he was about to tell Li Zhi tactfully that you could obviously steal money, yet you were so kind and righteous that people took the initiative to give money. Unexpectedly, Xue Na took out a handful of copper coins from his arms without hesitation, held them in both hands respectfully: "Your Majesty is indeed a fool."
Yes, I was late in giving you the money. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Li Qinzai was shocked again. I had never seen such a shameless face before. I never expected that a guy like Xue Ne, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also betray the revolution...
Li Zhi took the money unceremoniously and smiled at Empress Wu: "The son of the Xue family has the style of his father, he is bold and generous without being pretentious, and he has a bright future!"
Xue Na was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Li Zhi for his praise.
When the whole house was full of joy, only the youngest Li Xian was the most sincere, and said blankly: "Father, the boss is not fooling around..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi's face darkened. Empress Wu sighed speechlessly and gave Li Xian a big dick without politeness.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then everyone continued playing cards as if nothing had happened.
Li Qinzai took a deep breath. The small square card table was actually a condensed society. In this small society, some people were destined to be slapped by life. If life didn't have time to slap him, his mother would definitely slap him.
Poor Li Xian was young and had not yet tasted the dangers of reality. The only person in the audience who told the truth received a big slap in the face...
Save the children.
Li Xian's eyes filled with tears, and he played cards with grievance: "...80,000."
Li Zhi was completely unaware of how wronged his son was at the moment, and automatically ignored him. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The times are good and the world is peaceful. That is what I wish for you. In front of you are your wife, children, and friends, happily gathering together to play mahjong together."
, how comfortable..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a burst of curses coming from the direction of the front hall, among which Qibi Heli was the loudest, and Liang Jianfang was the most unpleasant.
In the Nuan Pavilion, Li Zhi and Wu Hou looked at each other. Before they could say anything, the sound in the front yard changed again. This time it was no longer a quarrel, but a sound of jingling gold and iron.
Li Qinzai's expression changed. He was sitting in the room like a prince. The old killers in the front hall actually dared to use weapons.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to take a look," Li Qinzai tried his best to squeeze out a smile and try to help the old killers smooth things over: "Veteran generals are here today. As you know, several elders have always had bad tempers and have long-standing grievances. It is inevitable...
…Well, there was a dispute.”
Li Zhi's expression was not surprising, he waved his hand and said: "I know the virtues of those people better than you. Today I came here directly without informing the Duke, so it is not considered a taboo."
Li Qinzai breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up and go to the front yard, but Li Zhi said: "It's okay, I'll go with you, haha, let's take a look at the style of the veterans."
Everyone then walked out of the Nuan Pavilion and went to the front yard.
After passing through a moon gate, everyone came to the front yard. Li Qinzai and others looked up and couldn't help but take a breath.
In the spacious open space in the front yard, broken branches and leaves were scattered everywhere. In the middle of the open space, several veteran generals were engaged in a brawl, and they all used their swords.
Qibi Heli and Liang Jianfang fought each other, and Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin fought fiercely. The four of them were fighting fiercely. Xue Rengui, the only one watching the battle, was at a loss. He wanted to step forward to break up the fight, but was forced back by the sharp sword.
The veterans had been fighting for a while, and everyone described them as being in a state of embarrassment. Cheng Yaojin was barefoot, Liang Jianfang had a few strands of his hair cut off by Qibi Heli's sword, and Li Ji's clothes were torn with several cuts.
A picture of a strongman breaking into a house and robbing the house, and the owner of the house fighting to the death.
Li Zhi was stunned and murmured: "Is it possible that the veterans have been too idle in the past two years? Should I find something for them to do?"
Li Qinzai still stubbornly tried to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, it must be a show for the elders to have fun after drinking. It is very common to compete with each other in martial arts."
Li Zhi glanced at him and said: "I'm not blind, this is almost desperate, you call it 'sparring'?"
In the open space in the front yard, Li Ji finally got a little tired. After the sword was swept across, he took advantage of the situation and took a step back. He pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said angrily: "Old man Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"
"I kindly wanted to teach you how to play mahjong, but you old fool actually stole the cards and cheated!"
"You are about to enter the coffin age, do you want to be shameless?"
