The old man seems to like Xue Lang very much. In ancient times, it was not a simple thing to recommend a person, it was to take responsibility. What is the responsibility? That is, if the person you recommend has made a mistake, the sponsor should bear the responsibility.

Xue Lang was grateful for Li Gang's attention. However, he didn't mean to go to Beijing. So Xue Lang got up and saluted Li Gang. He said in a loud voice, ”thank you, Li Shangshu. But Xue Lang is not yet an official in the imperial court. One is that Xue Lang has not reported his great kindness, and the other is that Xue Lang's etiquette and rules in our Dynasty are not well known. I'm afraid there is something wrong in his behavior when he comes to Beijing. If Li Shangshu is implicated, it will be Xue Lang's fault! ”

Li Gang was born in a good family. He was very upright and paid attention to integrity. After listening to Xue Lang's words, he praised: ”Xue Ziyi is a man of both talent and moral integrity. It would be a pity if such talents were not used by the imperial court! Xue Zi needn't say much. I have my own opinion. ”

Sleeping trough! No wonder the old man was scolded as a stubborn donkey. Xue Lang suddenly understood the reason. With a bitter smile, he simply let him go. Anyway, if he doesn't go to Beijing to be an official, Li Yuan can't tie him up!

All the guests at a banquet were happy. It was late. Li Gang was tired from his journey. After dinner, Princess Pingyang sent someone to take him to the post house on the other side of the county.

After seeing the man off, he walked back slowly. Xue Lang couldn't help asking, ”Your Highness, is there only your highness and your subordinates about sweet potatoes and potatoes in the future?”

Princess Pingyang walked slowly in front of her. She couldn't see her expression. She asked quietly, ”is it so bad, Youyang?”

Xue Lang thought for a while and said, ”it's not bad. It's just that other people don't get credit. There may be dissatisfaction and complaint.”

Princess Pingyang stopped, turned her head and looked at Xue Lang: ”Youyang, if there is merit in this matter, you are in charge. There are ma Yuanliang and the soldiers who assist in farming, but the others are not able to make any contribution. As the saying goes, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and rewards and punishments should be clearly defined. The meritorious service is not evenly distributed. Since ancient times, we have not suffered from oligopoly but from inequality. What is the credit for the absence of others? ”

Xue Lang understood and hastened to thank his royal highness. ”Thank you for your advice,” she said.

After that, he stopped and asked, ”does your highness want to send his subordinates to Beijing to offer grain?”

Princess Pingyang nodded: ”but you Yang don't want to go?”

Princess Xue Pingyang still doesn't know that he likes going out. Xue Lang didn't want to pretend. He admitted directly: ”I really don't want to go. Chang'an is too far away. I'll take a carriage all the way My subordinates are not used to riding in carriages

Princess Pingyang smiles and teases him: ”Youyang's reasons are always different from others, quite unique.”

Xue Lang was embarrassed to bow his hands, which meant to ask his highness to let go. The princess of Pingyang said with a smile: ”You Yang, don't be afraid of hard work. Chang'an has to go there. To say nothing else, the reward for offering auspicious omen should go to get it and thank the sage in person.”

Princess Pingyang said so, Xue Lang naturally can only promise: ”here.”

Princess Pingyang seemed very satisfied and in a good mood. She continued: ”Youyang is just this good. It is quite different from men in the world. As long as it is reasonable, whoever says it is willing to accept and listen to it. She never sticks to his own face and other meaningless things. You should keep this good habit well. ”
