In the end, Li Min had no choice but to take him back to Prince Liang's Mansion and place him in the guest room.
At the same time, he arranged for a few maids to stay with him to serve him, so that he would not be short of water after getting drunk.
There was nothing to say all night. When he woke up the next day, after washing up, Li Min couldn't help but smile and asked: "Xiao Liuzi, has Mr. Shangguan woke up from his hangover? By the way, please quickly tell the kitchen to prepare a bowl of hangover soup."
Generally, when you wake up after a hangover, your body will feel very uncomfortable.
This time Shangguan Yi actually failed, and Li Min felt that this was an opportunity for him.
Maybe he can take the opportunity to draw Shangguan Yi to his side.
Therefore, you must be nice to Shangguan Yi now and make him feel grateful.
Unexpectedly, I heard Xiao Liuzi say: "Your Highness, that Shangguan Yi left early today."
What?
Hearing the news, Li Min couldn't help being shocked and asked quickly: "Why didn't you keep him? Where did he go? How long has he been gone?"
Xiao Liuzi was also shocked by Li Min's reaction. He did not expect that His Highness would be so interested in that poor scholar.
Xiao Liuzi hurriedly said: "From what I heard from Mr. Shangguan, it seems that he is going back to his hometown and will leave early in the morning. Before leaving, I gave him a small amount of money."
Li Min couldn't help but ask: "Where did Mr. Shangguan go? How did he go? How long have he been walking?"
Xiao Liuzi quickly said: "Master Shangguan is walking eastward, probably on foot. He has been walking for about half an hour now, right?"
Actually walking?
How far is this road? How long does it take to walk back?
But think about it, Shangguanyi's family is very poor. In Chang'an, they don't even have money to eat.
I went to the first floor of the world to read a pair of second couplets just to get some money for food.
Being so poor, it is normal to walk back.
But luckily, if I walk, I can still catch up.
Li Min immediately said: "Go and prepare your horses quickly. Your Highness must catch up with the Shangguan Master today."
Xiao Liuzi did not dare to neglect, and quickly went to prepare the horses, and at the same time notified the escort to follow and protect him.
Soon, the horses were ready.
After coming out of the mansion, Li Min got on his horse and ran towards the east of the city on the street.
Of course, based on Li Min's riding skills, what he saw as running wildly was actually not much faster.
But when Li Min rode his horse in the street, the guards behind him ran wildly behind him, and the small merchants and hawkers on both sides of the road suffered.
From time to time, stalls would be kicked away by horses, but fortunately no one was hurt.
Li Min also stopped his horse and shouted loudly: "I am in an emergency. All stall owners who are encountered should go directly to Prince Liang's Mansion to collect money based on your losses. I will give you double the amount!"
Hearing what King Liang said, the stall owners secretly gave a thumbs up and shouted loudly.
King Liang's words made other stall owners think.
Some deliberately moved their stalls forward with the intention of knocking them over.
As for cheating and deliberately going to Prince Liang's Mansion to extort money, they really don't dare.
If they were found out, even if King Liang beat them to death, they would probably die in vain.
…
Li Min ran all the way, and soon he was out of the east city gate.
Because I was riding so fast, the inner thighs on both sides were sore.
I chased him to the edge of Ba Bridge and finally saw Shangguan Yi.
Shangguan Yi woke up in the morning. Thinking of failing the exam yesterday, she cried loudly on Prince Liang's body. She got very drunk at night and didn't know if she had made a fool of herself.
After waking up, I was very ashamed and felt that I would be looked down upon by His Highness Prince Liang. So I got up early in the morning and left in shame, preparing to return to my hometown.
Before leaving, Xiao Liuzi took out a lot of money and handed it to him as payment. Shangguan Yi hesitated for a moment but did not refuse.
Because he really doesn't have much money left. If he doesn't take over this money, he may have to sleep rough and sleep on the road again.
Shangguan Yi returned to the inn, checked out of the room, had some food, and then hurriedly hit the road.
Walking step by step to Ba Bridge, Shangguan Yi felt thirsty and tired, so he sat on Ba Bridge to rest.
After drinking some water and resting for a while, Shangguan Yi stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves on the road.
Looking back, I saw that the man in the front was a young man. Looking at his appearance, he vaguely looked like Li Min, the king of Liang.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Shangguan Yi's eyes became moist without even realizing it.
The road is far away and you can tell the power of horses, and the passage of time can tell the people's hearts.
After I failed the exam, where were the people who sang with my poems and books on weekdays?
When I left Chang'an today, how many people came to say goodbye to me?
At this time, there is only King Liang!
At this moment, without knowing it, Shangguan Yi had introduced Prince Liang as his lifelong confidant.
From far away, I heard King Liang shouting: "Master Shangguan, please stay!"
Shangguan Yi stood quietly on the Ba Bridge. After a while, Li Min rushed to the Ba Bridge on horseback.
After reining in the horse's head, guards had already come forward to help Li Min dismount.
After getting off the horse, Shangguan Yi saw King Liang staggering on his feet, and at the same time he rubbed his thighs with a grin on his face.
Shangguan Yi immediately guessed that King Liang must have been rushing so fast that his thighs were worn out because he was in a hurry to catch up with him.
The gratitude in my heart increased even more.
…
Finally caught up!
What Li Min was most afraid of was that because Shangguan Yi was walking, he might not always be walking along the official road. If he turned onto a trail, he might not be able to catch up with him.
The first thing Li Min had to do was to impress Shangguan Yi, so Li Min chanted loudly: "The green willows are weeping on the Ba River, and we leave at the end of the bridge."
After chanting these two sentences, Li Min and Shangguan Yi's eyes met, and they both looked at the willow trees on both sides of the Ba Bridge.
Then I saw only willow trees as thick as an arm, stripped to pieces.
The willow branches on the willow tree have long since withered, and the willow leaves are dry and dry. It seems that they will not survive.
Well, this scene was caused by Li Min's massive purchase of willow bark.
Although it was to save people, the situation and situation made it impossible to recite this poem.
There are also weeping willows in Ba River. The willow trees have long since died. Where are the green willows?
Shangguan Yi sighed, clasped his fists and said, "I appreciate His Highness Prince Liang's friendship. Your Highness, take care, let's say goodbye!"
Li Min sighed and said: "Wait a minute! Mr. Shangguan, I still need a long history in Prince Liang's palace. I wonder if Mr. Shangguan is willing to give in?"
After hearing Li Min's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help being stunned.
I was really shocked.
At this time, Shangguan Yi was just a poor scholar, a down-and-out scholar.
And what is the level of the royal family's long history? It is from the fourth rank.
Not to mention that he has failed the exam now, even if he can go to high school, he may not be able to climb to such a high position in his life!
But now the King of Liang was actually willing to directly entrust him with important tasks. For a moment, Shangguan Yi felt a feeling in his heart that a scholar would die for his confidant.
