A fool is blessed with a fool. In the Tang Dynasty, Li unexpectedly took the top spot and became prime minister.

Yuanhe seven-year champion Li was born in Fengxiang, Shaanxi. Li Zhuangyuan's experience is in line with the old saying: "Fools are blessed with fools."

In fact, our classmate Li is not stupid, just a little simple and honest. Of course, this word is no different from silly. When Li went to Beijing for an exam, he lived in a house next to him. Several cousins in his family like to play practical jokes. Suddenly, simple and honest Li came over and naturally became the object of their jokes.

Once, my cousins said, "If you want to rank well, you should greet famous people in advance. Chang 'an is not your small place, everything depends on relationships. "

Li asked who to look for. Cousin said a name: Xu Mengrong.

Although Xu Mengrong is also an official in Chang 'an, his official position is not big, and he is a little honest and frank. He is not very popular in officialdom, and no examinee will go to him at ordinary times. My brother recommended this man to Li, naturally because he wanted to see his jokes.

Li didn't know the inside story here, so he went with his masterpiece. Xu Mengrong, also stunned for a long time, wondered if he had the wrong person? I can't help you.

Li is a very sincere person. Despite the reluctance of others, he begged Xu Mengrong to read more of his representative works and give more opinions. Xu Mengrong couldn't help it. He took it and read it roughly. I didn't say whether it was good or not. I returned the article to him and said, "I won't keep you. Please find someone who can help you quickly." Of course, although I can't help you, I will remember you. "

Li felt very successful and went back happily. As a result, after passing the exam, Li was named.

The next year, Li took the exam again, but he still failed.

In the third year, his cousins gave him advice and said, "Brother, you didn't find the right time last time. It is right to look for it again this time, because Xu Meng allows adults to be examiners this year, and I am sure I can give you a champion. "

Cousin said it was true. Xu Mengrong has just been appointed as the examiner of the undergraduate course, but the naughty cousin is actually not kind this time, because although Xu Mengrong is the examiner, the person who hates opportunism most will be driven out by going to find him through the back door, so my cousins are eager to see the drama of Li being driven out.

Poor classmate Li went again. Surprisingly, however, he was invited into the house instead of being kicked out. What's going on here? Although Xu Mengrong was born honest, he was not stupid. Li knew at a glance that someone must be setting him up. He wanted to see his jokes, so he asked him, "Who told you to come?"

Lee didn't want to hide anything, so he said his cousin's name. Maybe he thinks he's helping them.

Xu Mengrong wrote down their names.

After Li left, Xu Mengrong said to his servant, "I don't believe this wicked man said that honest people suffered." Since someone is trying to frame him, I'll make him the champion. As for the people who framed him, no one admitted it! "

In this way, silly Li inexplicably became the top scholar of undergraduate course, and all cousins failed.

Xu Mengrong promoted Li as the champion. In addition to being keen, there may be another reason, that is, seeing that this person has similarities with himself, such as frankness and frankness.

Compared with Xu Mengrong's frankness, Li Zhuangyuan's frankness is also well-known.

Once in court, Tang Wenzong suddenly asked, "I heard that some national cadres are incompetent recently. Is this true? "

Hearing this, the ministers began to talk about it. You look at me, I look at you, but nobody makes a sound.

At this time, Li Zhuangyuan stood up and said, "Yes, there are indeed incompetent people, such as Li Kan, the secretariat of Dengzhou, and Zheng Xiang, the secretariat of Suizhou."

Tang Wenzong a listen to, also paused, in fact, he mentioned it to everyone, just a reminder, let everyone go back to pay attention to, who didn't want to, Zhuang Yuan really didn't take Li Chengxiang seriously, doesn't even have a name.

Because Li Kan was promoted by Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng's face hung up. He stood up and argued, "These are all rumors. You don't even investigate. It is purely hearsay! "

Li Zhuanggang tried to refute, but Tang Wenzong stopped him, which seriously affected harmony!

Another time, Liu Congjian, our envoy from Shanxi, wanted to climb up again, so he came to Chang 'an, giving gifts everywhere, asking for money, and giving beautiful women to beautiful women. As long as you can say a word to Liu for me in front of the emperor, I won't treat you badly! As a result, many people carry forward their styles and become Bole.

At that time, Li Zhuangyuan was a red man in front of the emperor and had great potential as a prime minister. Liu Congjian naturally didn't forget him, so he took a lot of "local products" to find him. As a result, before he could speak, Li Zhuangyuan said with a face of justice, "Even your time is because of your father. What else do you want? Go back to prison. If you want me to put in a good word for you, you have to speak with your grades! "

Unfortunately, there are too few fools like Li Zhuangyuan, because there are too many Bole. The emperor only looked at the recommendation for a long time, and finally rubbed his eyes and said, "This is my pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Hurry up and get promoted! "

Liu persuaded him to get what he wanted, and he was overjoyed and gave a banquet to thank him. When toasting, it's natural to kiss Qi Fei's ass and smile, but Li Zhuangyuan didn't smile. Instead, he said to him seriously, "Go back and do a good job, and don't end up in ruin, which is not good for you and the country."

After persuading Liu to come back, he told his family about the leaders at all levels in Chang' an and said with emotion: "Most people are fighting for power and profit, and only Li is really serving the country. Such a person can of course be the prime minister. "

Thanks to Liu Congjian's kind words, Li Zhuangyuan later became prime minister, and was also named Prince Shao Shi, Prince Taifu and senior official.
