Datang: Only by resisting the will can one become stronger

After hearing the reminder of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Qiu hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, boy.

At this time, Eldest Sun Wuji smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, you don't have to be too nervous about these little things.

"No one can do anything to you.

Then, the eldest grandson Wuji pulled the crimson official robe on Li Qiu's body again and chuckled.

"You are the Duke of Yue Guo canonized by His Majesty, one of the dignified princes of the Tang Dynasty.

"Look back, which of the princes present is not purple-robed?"

"What are these guys thinking behind their backs, I know.

"But this time, I'm afraid they're shooting themselves in the foot." "

The color of the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the bright yellow worn by the emperor and queen, can probably be divided into purple, crimson, green, and blue.

Officials above the third rank are dressed in purple robes.

The fourth grade is deep crimson, and the fifth grade is shallow crimson.

Six grades of dark green, seven grades of light green.

Eight grades of dark blue, nine grades of light blue.

As for Li Qiu, who has the title of Duke of Yueguo, he is very noble, and it stands to reason that he should be wearing a purple robe.

However, Li Qiu is a fictitious position, and there is no specific rank position.

When he was in this situation in the last dynasty, even if he was a national prince, he had to stand behind the third-grade officials.

According to common sense, if it wasn't Li Qiu who came today, but other grandfathers of the country, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would not dare to arrange scarlet robes for others even if they ate the bear's heart and leopard gall.

But today, this person is just Li Qiu, who has changed from the lowest businessman to Li Qiu, and they have their own thoughts.

Anyway, the scarlet official robes arranged for Li Qiu by these officials of the Ministry of Rites are theoretically in the past, and they can't find their specific problems.

After chatting with the eldest grandson Wuji for a few more words, Li Qiu came to Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, and Wei Ting again.

The three of them are all the old subordinates of the former Yin Prince, so they are excluded by others.

At present, the Zhenguan period has just begun, so people like Wei Zheng and Wang Qi have not yet reached the height of prime ministers in later generations.

The current grades are still very low.

Like Wei Ting, he was still wearing a light scarlet official robe at this time, from the fifth grade.

As soon as he saw Li Qiu coming, Wei Zheng couldn't help frowning, "Li Qiu, why did this person from the Ministry of Rites give you a scarlet robe to wear?" "

You are hand-picked by Your Majesty, and you have inherited the title of your father-in-law, Luo Cheng, the Duke of Yueguo."

"Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, no prince has ever worn a scarlet robe. Not

only Wei Zheng, but even Wang Qi and Wei Ting couldn't see it, and they couldn't help but be indignant.

"Hmph, this group of officials of the clan gate lord faction is forming gangs, the party is the same and fighting against differences, and they are full of benevolence and morality all day long, but they are doing some things behind their backs.

Listening to the grievances of a few of them, Li Qiu hurriedly gave a salute, smiled bitterly, and whispered comfort.

"Well, I say a few adults, don't be angry with me for this little thing.

"I won't tell you anything, at this time, I wish they wouldn't give me court clothes.

"On these three watch days, I was tossed up in the middle of the night, and I felt really sleepy.

"I just don't know what I'm calling for today.

"I still want to go back and continue to open my little restaurant."

"The sun rises, the sun rests, and I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, accompanied by good wine and food.

Hearing his words, Wei Zheng couldn't help but glance at him, "You kid, you are very naughty!" "

How many times have we said that you have no talent, but all of them are wasted on the way of making wine and making money.

"What's more, you still have a good martial arts and good strategy.

"You, let's cut off your thoughts of the restaurant in the future.

Wang Qi on the side also smiled, "Xuan Cheng's words are good, Li Qiu, you will break your idea of opening a small restaurant." "

Yesterday, I have already written to Your Majesty to recommend you to be the head of the household of the four products.

"Responsible for some political affairs of water transportation and money.

"And I've heard that there are many people in the military department and the army who want to nominate you to serve in the army.

After hearing his words, Li Qiu only felt his brain buzzing.

If this

is really an official of the fifth grade or higher, doesn't that mean that you have to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning every day, and then toss and turn until 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning before you can eat and rest

? This is the case every day!

This doesn't mean that human lives are going to be killed?

Just when Li Qiu, the eldest grandson, and Wei Zheng were talking, another group of officials from the DPRK and China glanced at Li Qiu from time to time out of the corner of their eyes.

His eyes were full of contempt.

When Li Qiu died in battle before, Li Shimin named him the Duke of Yue Guo and the general of Shenwu.

They can accept all this, after all, what does it matter if a dead person is crowned?

But now, Li Qiu is alive again, as a small businessman with the most humble status, they absolutely can't accept this kind of thing if he wants to rank in the court with them.

At that time, the hierarchical concept of status and inferiority had long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

"Hmph, that's ridiculous. "

Half a year ago, I was a small businessman who opened a small restaurant on the streets of Chang'an City to sell food, and in a blink of an eye, he became the grandfather of the country?"

"Isn't my Datang also too worthless?!" "

Who said it wasn't!" "It's

nothing more than a small businessman who has taken a shit luck and made a little contribution."

"The thought that we are going to participate in the court affairs with a businessman makes me feel disgusted!"

"It's still Lord Xu who is clever and gets him a scarlet robe.

"If this is for him to wear a purple robe and rank in front of us, wouldn't it be even more disgusting?"

Hearing everyone's praise, Xu Jinming, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, smiled with his hand:

"Hehe, if you can, don't talk about the purple robe, even I don't want to give him this scarlet robe."

"I really can't figure it out, how did Your Majesty think of announcing this kind of person to the court?"

Regarding the cold eyes and attitudes of these people around him, Li Qiu was not stupid, so he naturally saw it in his eyes.

However, for them, Li Qiu's heart was very disdainful.

You fools, do you think I'm willing to go to court with you? Do you think I'm willing

to be tossed up at three o'clock in the morning, just to grab that bite of cold rice

with you in a trough to eat? Can you sleep lazily at home, make a lot of money, drink wine and eat meat, and be comfortable with Miss Wu Jue?

If you really have the ability, hurry up and get me home, so that I can enjoy the blessings.

Lest you people who are full of mouths are full of empty talk, big talk, and inaction, and the nobles and gatekeepers who are unappetizing.

At this moment, two quarters after the night leak had arrived, and the palace door was wide open.

Li Qiu also followed the ministers and walked towards the place where the morning court was in the palace.

However, just as they arrived at the predetermined place and began to stand in order, Li Qiu was troubled by these stupid and death-like officials.
