Chapter 5, Children do not understand
Alright. Du Ruhui nodded vigorously
Du Ruhui looked at several villagers in front of Li who were repairing a house and said, "Are you building a house?"
Thirty thousand guan
The two individuals signed a written agreement, and Li Zheng said, "Whoever goes back on their word will meet in court."
Upon a closer look, it seems that it is not merely an act of feigning illness
"Master Li, are you not resting now after observing the stars at night?" Du Ruhui inquired.
I plan to establish a medical clinic Li Zheng took another bite of the fruit
Qin Qiong left the Hall of Ganlu, and as soon as he stepped out, he noticed that Changsun Wuji also seemed to be on his way to see His Majesty
What are you feeding him
This is impossible
Reclamation
I tend to trust things that are in black and white
I have heard that Qin Qiong went to seek out Li Zheng, but that young man refused to take up an official position. I, too, wish to pay him a visit
After everyone left the Ganlu Hall
Moreover, he comes from a poor background, unlike other youths from Chang'an. He is also ostracized in the study hall, which inevitably breeds a sense of resistance in him. Furthermore, he does not understand what it means to be an official; his refusal is merely a reflection of his youth and lack of understanding.
"You may leave now," Li Shimin said淡淡.
I... Du Ruhui was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to respond.
In Chang'an, the news that Qin Qiong went out late at night to invite a child to take up an official position spread quickly among the people
Li Zheng hired several villagers to repair a house when he saw two individuals approaching, one dressed in a Taoist robe and the other in official attire
Thirty thousand guan... you! Du Ruhui pointed at Li Zheng, his emotions stirred, and he felt a sudden pain in his chest
"You don't even need to take my pulse, and yet you prescribe medicine for me?" Du Ruhui inquired
Do not give up
Refusing to hold an official position
What is the Guozijian? It is a place that only the children of the powerful and influential can attend, and many people strive desperately to gain entry.
As soon as he left the palace, Du Ruhui encountered Li Chunfeng, who had just come out of the Astronomical Bureau.
It is possible that he has become disillusioned with his official career due to being expelled from the academy, Fang Xuanling murmured
Stepping forward, Li Chunfeng spoke first: "Are you Li Zheng?"
Hmm! Watching this scene, Li Zheng also took a few steps back. Did this person just have a fit on the spot? Is it a case of fraud or what? The social customs of the Tang Dynasty are surprisingly treacherous.
Then let's draw up a written agreement
Some even unearthed Li Zheng's background and origins
Having already declined the position of an official, Li Chunfeng still seeks out Li Zheng. Could it be that he wishes to take Li Zheng as his disciple to study the art of Dao?
Du Ruhui stood up again and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"
Qin Qiong thought to himself that if he had accepted his goodwill last night, he would certainly have given him a position in the Left Wuwei, keeping him by his side for proper guidance
After the court session, Fang Xuanling returned to the Central Secretariat and said to Du Ruhui: "Yesterday, Qin Qiong went to find Li Zheng, and that young man actually refused to take up an official position"
"A medical clinic? Do you still understand medicine?"
The two individuals arrived at the village by the Jingyang River, where they inquired around and eventually found Li Zheng.
Everyone in Hongwen Pavilion is discussing this matter
It is uncertain whether Li Zheng's refusal to take office will provoke anger in Li Shimin
Li Zheng sneered, "If you can produce 30,000 guan, I could hire a great number of laborers."
The two individuals greeted each other and passed by.
Du Ruhui nodded in agreement, "Good thing"
Seeing the other party's troubled expression, Li Zheng said: "No money? I see you are an official. How about this, you don't have to pay, just give me three thousand laborers."
Such excellent talent is hard to come by
Have you heard? Li Chunfeng wishes to take this child as his disciple, and even Kong Yingda hopes he will attend the Imperial Academy to listen to lectures
Upon hearing this news, Li Shimin was somewhat surprised and, after pondering for a moment, his expression became grave
Du Ruhui felt anxious and said, "We absolutely cannot allow the Tang Dynasty to lose a valuable talent because of this matter. I will go and meet him, and I will certainly persuade him to take up an official position."
Du Ruhui! Li Chunfeng anxiously supported the person.
Qin Qiong's intention was simply to protect the child Li Zheng
After hesitating for a moment, Du Ruhui said: "To be honest with you, young brother, I am indeed unwell"
Is that not the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art
Can a twelve-year-old child still decipher the situation in the Yinshan battle?
Angina is a very dangerous disease, and in this era of medical shortages, it can easily lead to loss of life
Du Ruhui stroked his beard and said: "I often suffer from angina, and I have been resting quietly during this period. Sun Simiao has examined me and prescribed a remedy, but the old divine doctor Sun said that it can only help with recuperation and cannot cure the root of the illness"
Is it better now? Li Chunfeng asked
Qin Qiong then said: "It is likely because this child was expelled from the academy, which has led to his aversion towards a career in officialdom."
"Do my words still require a written agreement?" Du Ruhui said with a smile
Du Ruhui was not interested in the strange things of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang; such a good child falling into the hands of Li Chunfeng would be a waste of talent
Write down the edict and the decisions made in the court, and Li Shimin instructed that it be delivered to Li Jing with all haste.
"I would never deceive you," Du Ruhui said after looking at Li Zhenghao for a moment. "You know that I cannot afford thirty thousand guan, which is why you proposed the condition. What you truly desire is not money, but rather three thousand laborers."
Emperor Li Shimin, in accordance with the recommendation of Li Zheng, conferred with several generals including Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also participated in numerous actions, instigating some rumors and fabricating false documents, resulting in the formation of a complete decree of favor.
For a time, the entire city of Chang'an was discussing this matter, and Li Zheng was treated like a rare animal, occasionally subjected to others' critiques and comments.
The military and political machinery of the Tang Dynasty began to operate around the entire system of the Enfeoffment Decree
When Du Ruhui regained his composure, his gaze appeared somewhat bewildered
After contemplating all this, Du Ruhui's steps quickened
The discussions in Hongwen Pavilion are becoming increasingly lively
Li Zheng poured more than ten pills of the fast-acting heart-saving medicine into Du Ruhui's mouth and made him swallow them with water
"Quick-acting Heart Rescue Pills, 30,000 guan, no bargaining." Li Zheng reiterated
Qin Qiong remained and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Li Zheng refuses to take up an official position"
What illness is it
Did that foolish boy solve Li Chunfeng's problem
Li Shimin contemplated Qin Qiong's words, Li Zheng was merely a twelve-year-old child, a twelve-year-old child who perhaps did not yet understand the significance of holding an official position
"What do you need so many people for?" Du Ruhui asked
... ...
"I have a basic understanding," Li Zheng nodded and looked at Du Ruhui, "What? Are you sick?"
"What is it?" Li Zheng asked while eating a fruit.
Thirty thousand guan is no small sum; Du Ruhui's annual salary is only a fraction of that
"Wait a moment," Du Ruhui hesitated for a while and then said, "I will take it."
"Please wait a moment." Li Zheng returned to the house that was under renovation, took out a bottle of medicine from the system, and came out again to say, "This is the fast-acting heart-saving pill, to be taken three times a day, four pills each time. If symptoms occur, take a few more pills."
Looking again at the medicine in Li Zheng's hand, one must say that usually when Du Ruhui falls ill, it takes him nearly half an hour to barely get through it, yet he has recovered in such a short time now
Seeing the contemptuous smile on the young man's face, Du Ruhui couldn't help but feel as if he had been played for a fool
