Chang'an, in the imperial palace.
Li Er summoned several ministers to discuss matters and the discussion was almost finished.
It's time for dinner now.
You still need to prepare a work meal.
After having lunch with Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others, the ministers returned to their work posts one after another.
Li Er picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then staggered towards the Lizheng Hall.
After spending some time with Empress Changsun, Li Er thought about it and decided to let his daughter Changle handle the task of recruiting Zhuang Zhou into government.
It can also be regarded as a way to find out the truth from the side and see how this guy reacts to being an official.
If he is a fraud and a thief.
Then just kill him with one knife!
"Father, why are you here?"
Princess Changle Li Lizhi was combing her black hair.
Since I started using Tihuazhixiu, my hair quality has improved visibly.
Li Er looked at his daughter with a fatherly expression of love:
"My precious daughter is getting more and more beautiful now, but I am old now, and my daughter is about to despise me!"
"Father, I don't have any!"
Changle came closer and took Li Er's arm:
"In your son's eyes, father is forever young and will become the greatest emperor of all time!"
These words were spoken by Zhuang Zhou.
Li Er was also very happy when he heard it.
In his opinion, the only emperor in history who could be called the greatest emperor of all time was Qin Shi Huang.
But the true greatest emperor of all time is currently nowhere to be found.
So when he was chatting with Zhuang Zhou and heard the other party's evaluation of him as the greatest emperor of all time and a wise and holy monarch, he was naturally very happy.
But in Li Er's view, he was a wise monarch.
In the end, it was all thanks to my ability to use people.
He recruited the most talented people of the time and used them for his own purposes.
Thinking of this, Li Er felt even more determined to recruit Zhuang Zhou to serve him.
"Father, you are frowning, what are you thinking about?"
Changle saw that her father was silent and looked thoughtful, so she couldn't help but ask a question.
Li Er stroked his beard and sighed:
"Father is eager to recruit talented individuals from all over the world to serve the court and share my worries. However, there is one person who is giving me a headache."
Changle was very smart and naturally understood what his father meant:
"Father, are you planning to recruit that Zhuang Zhou?"
Faced with Changle's questioning, Li Er no longer planned to hide it.
Said directly:
"Zhuang Zhou is a man of great insight and conversation. It would be a shame to waste such a man on business. He should be employed by the imperial court."
Changle responded and asked:
"So, Father wants me to talk to him?"
Li Er nodded:
"I think you should give him a few words of advice first to see how he reacts to becoming an official."
Then he roughly expressed what he was thinking.
I want my daughter to find out more about Zhuang Zhou.
If this guy is just a mysterious person who only wants high positions and generous salaries, then there is no need to recruit him.
On the contrary, this person will be put on his blacklist.
It must be eliminated!
"Father, let me be clear. Zhuang Zhou has a strange personality. I may not be able to complete the task you have assigned me."
Princess Changle knew a little about Zhuang Zhou.
This guy's words and actions are completely unconventional.
So she really didn't have much confidence that she could persuade Zhuang Zhou to become an official.
"No problem! Just do your best. I will take care of the outcome."
Li Er gave another instruction, and immediately thought of something else:
"When you go, bring a few more guards with you. The West Market area is full of mixed people."
Changle was speechless. Her father wanted to recruit Zhuang Zhou, but was too embarrassed to show up.
He actually asked himself to do this.
Well then!
Then give it a try!
Changle changed her clothes, and it was the same outfit of a woman dressed as a man.
But this time she only brought two guards, one of whom was Li Junxian.
Then, the guard leader Li Junxian was personally responsible for the security work.
Princess Changle took a carriage straight to the West Market.
…
West Market.
Zhuangji Grocery Store, backyard.
Zhuang Zhou opened the door, wore clothes from the early Tang Dynasty, wore a scholar's hat, and walked out humming a tune.
But very quickly.
Zhuang Zhou found something wrong.
There was a lot of noise in the shop in front, and there were also sounds of roaring and smashing.
Is this a fight?
"What are you doing? Go away, don't..."
not good!
This is Ling'er's voice.
Zhuang Zhou immediately realized that something was wrong.
He rushed to the shop.
When I arrived at the shop, I saw a dozen or so little hooligans smashing things.
Ma San, Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey and others are still trying their best to stop them.
But it was obvious that they were not very good at fighting, and each of them had bruises on their faces.
There was also a young man who pushed Ma Xiaoling into a corner.
Zhuang Zhou was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
Shouted angrily:
"stop!"
It soon attracted the attention of several hooligans.
Ma San also saw Zhuang Zhou at this time, and hurried over and said:
"Boss Zhuang, you're finally back. These people came here to cause trouble yesterday and said they'd smash our shop if they didn't see you today."
Zhuang Zhou was so angry!
"Who the hell are you? How dare you smash my shop?"
The young man who bullied Ling'er pushed aside a few hooligans and came closer to face Zhuang Zhou:
