Chapter 446 Ren You Visited

After asking some gossip, he randomly tested the talents and strategies of the ten students. Then, in the face of most people's trepidation, Li Shimin kept them for a simple meal, and then gave them out of the palace with a kind look at the eunuch.

In the Tai Chi Hall, only Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were left.

"Crown Prince, what do you think of these ten people?" Li Shimin took a sip of tea and turned his head to look at Li Chengqian. Seeing that the prince's expression was normal, he returned to his previous indifference, and he couldn't help but nod.

"Brother, all of these ten people are extremely talented and intelligent. It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to obtain such pillars!" Li Chengqian bowed and replied in a general way, thinking about what Li Shimin said before. What does that mean? Is it a warning?

"Haha, it's true that high intelligence is great, but it's up to be discussed as a pillar of the country," Li Shimin chuckled and shook his head, looked at Li Chengqian deeply, and said softly: "A talented person may not be an official, and he cannot easily entrust with important tasks. Cultivating a scholar with a talented person into a talented official cannot be done in one or two years."

"As a king, you must not only have the ability to know people, but also have the method of using people," Li Shimin continued to say to his eldest son with a meaningful scrutiny: "After the annual election, why do those who are talented and educated will be transferred to a relatively remote and poor place, and let them be a small order? The purpose is here, and it is also a test of the people. On the one hand, it is a worldly way of life, and on the other hand, it is a lack of officials' desire for the people. At most, it is three or five years, or at least one or two years. Whether you can achieve political achievements and gain the people's expectations depends on their own abilities."

"Thank you for your teachings, I will remember them in my heart!" After hearing the teaching and cultivation in Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian accepted the uneasiness in his heart, and his mind suddenly became stable. He could listen to his father's teachings of being a king, which was enough to show his father's trust and hope for him.

"Well," Li Shimin glanced at his son, nodded slightly, and then asked: "What do you think about the ten new Jinshis just now?"

"When I go back to my father, I think that except for Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen, the other eight people seem to be a bit unreasonable and unreasonable. I don't know what my father thinks?" After calming down, Li Chengqian also spoke the truth. Judging from the performance of the ten people just now, although Yuwen Fangde and Du Zhigui also answered the emperor's questions very well, if we talk about the feeling that the ten people gave people, Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen were more realistic.

"Oh? I wonder why the prince looked at him like this?" Li Shimin put down the tea bowl and looked at Li Chengqian with interest.

"Return to Father, let alone the words he had just spoken in the seat, just by judging the performance of the ten of them in the side hall, you can see that except for Liu and Zhang, they all seem a little indifferent." Li Chengqian lowered his head and nodded, and briefly expressed his views.

"Haha, it's not that they are indifferent and cannot be sophisticated, but that they should have known the mechanisms in the side hall before they come, and they are doing it for me to see. Less words, less read, less mistakes, these should be explained by their fathers in advance," Li Shimin shook his head lightly. He saw these things very clearly.

"This," Li Chengqian's heart was raised again. He looked up at his father's face. Seeing that Li Shimin's expression was still, he couldn't help but try to ask softly: "Since the father knows, why do he still..."

"Haha, tell me what you think of Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen's performance in the side hall just now?" Li Shimin smiled and said nothing, but asked Li Chengqian another question softly.

"Yes, Father!" Li Chengqian calmed down and lowered his head slightly to report to Li Shimin: "Ye Erchen, these two people don't seem to know the situation in the side room, otherwise they would not have come forward to greet Du Zhigui when they first entered the side room. Later, the matter of playing chess should be due to their true nature!"

"Well, they don't know, but it's true," Li Shimin picked up the tea bowl again, turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, and said, "But they are not stupid people. Even if they don't know, then you should be able to guess something when you see other people's performances? Didn't Zhang Chuwen have been sitting upright for a while after learning other scholars? Only Liu Ertiao, who acted casually from beginning to end."

"According to the father's wishes, Liu and Zhang were also used to show the last game of chess for the father's sake?" Li Chengqian asked Li Shimin in a low voice.

"So," Li Shimin nodded and chuckled, without any anger. He lent his tea and said softly: "But they are two of them doing beautifully. I have hung a chessboard on the wall, hoping that someone can see the clues, and some dare to do it. Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen and others have done a good job. They have vision, courage, and act resolutely. They are much stronger than those who see it but dare not do it."

"Those are two very cunning and courageous little guys!" This is the final judgment made by Li Shimin for the performance of Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen.

Li Shimin did not dislike those smart and cunning people. On the contrary, Li Shimin liked these people very much, bold and capable. If such people were officials and ministers, they would definitely achieve something. Just like those important officials of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenben, and even the stubborn old man Wei Zheng, weren’t they all such smart and cunning people?

"What the father said is extremely true!" Li Chengqian echoed in his voice, and at the same time he knew that Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen had already caught the eyes of his father's emperor, and their future achievements were limitless.

"Okay, this is the matter, the prince should step down first!" Li Shimin put down the tea bowl, waved his hand at Li Chengqian, and began to drive people away.

"Yes, Father, my son is leaving!" Li Chengqian stood up and bent over to salute Li Shimin. Then he turned around and slowly left. As soon as he walked to the door, Li Shimin's advice came from behind: "Don't mention what I said to you today to the third person."

"Yes, Father! My son understands!" Standing at the door, Li Chengqian turned around and bowed before saying goodbye.

...

"Sister Xiaoya, you are so beautiful. How old is this year?"

In the evening, when Liu Yi came back from the outside with his book in his arms, he had just arrived at the entrance of their small courtyard and heard a familiar voice.

Ren You, this kid is lying to the little sister here again.

"I, I'm on 11th!" Xiao Ya replied weakly, looking at the beautiful big brother in front of her with her eyes timidly.

"It's 11th? Well, it's not too young. In two years, your body will grow up and you will be a big girl," Ren You bent down, smiled and leaned over to Xiao Ya's ground, and said softly: "Looking at Xiao Ya's beautiful appearance as soon as she grows up, I will definitely be a big beauty when you grow up. Will you marry your brother when you grow up?"

"Xiao You!" Zhang Chuchu, who was standing beside him, glared at Ren You with a angrily look and shouted softly: "If you stinky brat say nonsense again, be careful that your sister-in-law will blow you out!"

"Uh, hehe, sister-in-law, just kidding, don't take it seriously, um, don't take it seriously!" Ren You said a few words with a wry smile, but his eyes were still aiming at Xiao Ya's body, looking unwilling to give up.

"I don't change my nature. It seems that Miss Di's kicks last time were too light," Liu Yi said a few more times, "I walked into the yard gate and said a few words to Ren You.

"Husband!" "Brother Liu!" "Brother-in-law!"

Hearing Liu Yi's voice, Zhang Chuchu and the other two shouted softly at the same time. Ren You even got up and greeted him, bent down to greet Liu Yi.

"Okay, okay, you're not an outsider, there's no need to be so polite," he waved his hand at Ren You casually. Liu Yiqing sat down beside his wife, and signaled Ren You to sit aside, looked at Ren You and asked him softly, "Why did Brother Ren You come to Chang'an? When did you come?"

"Hehe, after my elder brother set out from Fengjie, I was reluctant to leave. After asking my mother for instructions, I immediately set off. However, I encountered some things on the road and delayed for a while. I just arrived in Chang'an this morning. I knew that my elder brother would definitely move into the Su Mansion when he came to Chang'an, so I just settled down at home, so I was busy visiting my elder brother and sister-in-law. Haha," Ren You sat down beside Xiao Ya, and chuckled embarrassedly and replied to Liu Yi.

"Well, you're intent," Liu Yi nodded gently. Although he knew that this kid was not telling the truth, it was really rare for him to come from Fengjie to Chang'an City.

"Husband, it's getting late, and Xiaoyou has been here for an afternoon. It's time for us to have a meal!" Seeing that the two of them were talking in an opportunistic manner and seemed to have no intention of stopping, Zhang Chuchu couldn't help but remind him softly.

"Uh, hehe, what my wife said is, it's because of her husband," Liu You chuckled and began to instruct Xiaoyi and the others to serve the meal.

"I know that my elder brother likes this, so when I came, I brought two pots of 'Qinglan wine' to my elder brother. I'll drink it with me later!" Ren You smiled and bent over and took out two jars of 'Yiheju' specialty wine from under the table and put it on the table.

The food had been prepared long ago, but it was kept in the kitchen to keep it warm. After Liu gave him an order, soon the table in the main hall was filled with hot meals.

He ordered Xiaoyi to scald the wine. Liu Yi took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, picked up a bite, and then signaled his wife, Ren You and Xiao Ya to have a meal together.

"Brother, listen to my sister-in-law's words," Ren You picked up a piece of lean meat, looked up at Liu Yiyi, and asked softly: "A few days ago, you were bullied by people from the 'Dahong Chamber of Commerce' inn in Chang'an City, right?"

"Oh, you said that fat man Tang, just some clowns, don't pay attention to it," Liu Yi picked up a vegetarian dish for Chuchu, put it in a bowl, and said to Ren You softly: "When you have the chance in the future, I will teach him a lesson for you."

He spoke generously, but in his heart, Liu Yi was still quite resentful to the dumplings. It would be fine if those people came to find their own troubles, but judging from the situation at that time, they were even Chuchu, a big-bellied woman. No matter who dared to take action against their family, Liu Yi would not spare anyone.

On this issue, Liu Yiu is a very good at protecting his shortcomings and being stingy. He holds a grudge.

This is why while he was hiding and avoiding danger, he was thinking about how to retaliate and return the plan.

"There is no need for the elder brother to take action in this kind of small matter," Seeing that Liu Yi was a little unwilling, Ren You chuckled and said, "I have some friendship with the president of the 'Dahong Chamber of Commerce'. The chamber of commerce still owes us 'Yiheju' a big favor, and a fat man Tang, and I'll leave it to me. I'll vent my anger for my elder brother, sister-in-law, and our little girl!"

"Master!" The warm-scalded wine was poured into the pot, and Xiaoyi brought it to Qingqing, and put it on it for Liu Yi and Ren You respectively. Then, Xiaoyi and other servants retreated with Liu Yi's instructions.

"Come on, let's drink!" Ignoring Ren You's proposal just now, Liu Yi smiled and raised his glass to touch Ren You, and drank it all in one go. The "Qinglan Wine" of "Yi Heju" was still so warm and sweet. Liu Yi liked its taste very much.

"Brother, are you saying something?" Seeing that Liu Yi finished drinking the wine, he went to pick up the pot and poured it down, without any intention of replying, Ren You couldn't help but urge him.

"You kid is so enthusiastic about this matter. Isn't there anything else I want Brother Yu to plan for you?" Someone is willing to help, but Liu Yiu-un does not object. He has never been a pedantic person who must avenge himself if he has a grudge. In this regard, Liu Yiu-un is very pragmatic. As long as the purpose is achieved, he can not care about the process.

However, before that, Liu Yiu wanted to know what price he had to pay. Ren You, a stinky brat, is also a little bastard who can't afford to get up early, and he knows the truth that robbery should take advantage of the situation.
