After the spring rain passed, the court issued Li Shimin's decree, and the imperial examination will officially begin in May this year.

Now that March is just here, there are only two months left before the imperial examination begins.

The weather in March is very comfortable, and the entire Jingyang village looks green.

The soldiers training around Jingyang still did not withdraw. Li Zheng was eating the pancakes he made, and another guest came to Jingyang.

Li Yifu took Fang Xuanling and his party and said, "Chang'an Order, people have arrived."

After eating the pancakes in his hand, Li Zheng said, "Old Fang."

Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded, "Long time no see."

Li Zheng sighed and said, "I don't like to go out very much."

Fang Xuanling glanced at the person following behind him and said, "These are envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty from Japan to our Tang Dynasty. They came to meet the Chang'an Order."

After listening to Fang Xuanling's introduction, seeing Li Zheng's indifferent appearance, someone came out of the Japanese envoys and said, "I'm here to go to the Prince of Japan, Su Won."

"Oh." Li Zheng just nodded.

A group of Japanese envoys looked at each other with a cold attitude towards Li Zheng for a moment.

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said, "Originally, it should be the Ministry of Rites to receive the Tang envoys here, but today there are many envoys from various countries to Chang'an. I happened to ask you something, so I brought them with me."

Facing Fang Xuanling and Li Zheng, he still saluted respectfully, "Please speak with Mr. Fang."

Fang Xuanling said: "Now the imperial examination is imminent, and His Majesty also likes that children from Jingyang can participate in the imperial examination."

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "Our Jingyang children don't know how to become officials, how can we go?"

Fang Xuanling whispered: "No one would be an official at the beginning."

Li Zheng took a sip of hot tea and said, "We Jingyang Academy did not want to let these children be officials since we taught the children."

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a while and said, "I know what you mean, but children like Di Renjie, Daniu, Pei Xingjian do have the potential to be an official, and even His Majesty now attaches great importance to it."

Li Shimin really fell in love with these children.

It was no surprise that Li Zheng said to Fang Xuanling: "The children in our academy all learn independently. They want to learn whatever they want. As for whether they want to be an official resident, they can go and ask in person."

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Zheng now. Li Zheng has grown taller and seems to have become more restrained than before.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xuanling said, "Will you not obstruct it?"

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Of course not."

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Okay, I'll ask them now."

After saying that, Fang Xuanling left.

A group of Japanese left behind a group of Japanese looking at each other.

The prince of Japan was standing in front. Su Woxin said, "I have been following Chang'an orders for a long time,"

Li Zheng sighed and said, "There are so many people who have long been to me, and you have seen me now."

Prince Su Woxin of the Japanese Kingdom said again: "Actually, this time I come, I want to give it to my friend with Chang'an Order."

"Make friends?" Li Zheng sneered: "I don't make friends with the Japanese."

Su Woxin looked puzzled, "Why?"

Li Zheng shouted: "Li Yi Mansion!"

Li Yifu hurriedly walked forward, "Chang'an Order, what are the instructions?"

Li Zheng said, "Turn these Japanese people out for me."

"Here!"

As he said that, Li Yifu called the villagers to drive the Japanese to leave.

Su Woxin was a little dissatisfied when he was rushed outside the village in a mess. "The people in the Tang Dynasty were all polite to me, why is this Li Zheng so rude!"

Hearing these words, Li Yifu sneered. This Japanese really didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick.

Just as Li Yifu was about to return to the village, Xu Jingzong came.

Of course, Xu Jingzong knew this prince of the Japanese kingdom, and the current Japanese royal family is Suwo family.

Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "Is the prince of the Japanese in front of me?"

Su Woxin saw Xu Jingzong saluting quickly, "You are also from Jingyang."

Xu Jingzong did not intend to answer his words and whispered: "They looked like they were driven out."

There was a hint of anger in Su Woxin's eyes, "Chang'an Order drove me out, but I didn't expect that Chang'an Order, who was famous in the Central Plains, would be so rude."

Xu Jingzong said to Su Woxin: "I dare to ask you what you said, "but what shouldn't you say?"

Su Woxin recalled the meeting with Li Zheng and said, "I just want to be friends with Chang'an Ling."

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "That's right. Chang'an Order is a famous figure in the Central Plains today, so he cannot be friends with the envoys of other countries."

Su Woxin was a little confused about these words for a while.

When I saw this Su Woxin was a person who was not very familiar with the world and did not understand the sinister world.

Xu Jingzong whispered: "I wonder if you have heard of other envoys who have had friendship with Chang'an Order, such as the envoys of Tuyuhun, the envoys of Turks, or the envoys of Tubo."

Su Woxin secretly wrote down Xu Jingzong's words.

Xu Jingzong said: "Chang'an Order did this for your own good. You will know after you go to Chang'an Order to inquire."

Su Woxin nodded and turned around and left.

Li Yifu looked at their backs and said, "What are you doing when you say so much to them?"

Xu Jingzong said, "I am also for their own good."

Fang Xuanling came outside the academy and happened to see Daniu, Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie walking together.

Seeing the three of them, Fang Xuanling walked up and said, "You three are together, so I can't look for you everywhere."

Daniu looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "I have met Mr. Fang."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "The last time I saw you was before you went to the Western Regions. Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and you have grown so tall."

The big bull gave a slight gift.

Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie saluted together.

Fang Xuanling said: "The imperial examination will be held soon in the court. Lao Fu came here to ask if you have participated in the imperial examination."

Big Niu, Di Renjie, Pei Xingjian wanted to take a look, but Pei Xingjian asked, "Are we the three of us officials?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Of course you can become an official after participating in the imperial examination."

The big bull whispered: "We are too young, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Di Renjie also said: "We have not finished learning what we should learn in the academy, so we don't want to be an official now."

Fang Xuanling looked at Pei Xingjian and said, "You went to war with the army, and I wonder if you could enter the Wei Mansion?"

Pei Xingjian quickly bowed and said, "I don't know much about the matter in the army. At that time, I just followed the army to treat my illness."

Fang Xuanling withdrew his eyes and said, "So, don't you want to be an official?"

Di Renjie said: "I want to ask Mr. Fang a question. If Mr. Fang can answer correctly, maybe I can understand why we are not officials."

The three of them had their expressions in their eyes, and Fang Xuanling said, "Tell me."

Di Renjie said, "One ant has seven legs, how many legs are there for six hundred ants."
