Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Xin looked at the man's movements, and couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, are you Lord Mengjiaomeng?"

The man's movements were obviously paused, then he raised his head and looked at Li Xin, his eyes were full of doubts: "Yes. Are you?"

The corner of Li Xin's mouth twitched. What Chen Yin said is really true, this man named Meng Jiao is obviously the kind of weirdo who is obsessed with his own affairs and doesn't care about other things. Otherwise, how could he not even know Li Xin who caused this incident when the matter in the Ministry of Science was raging?

"Junior Li Xin, I have met Mr. Meng." Li Xin introduced himself while bowing his hands. The man Liu Xuande still pays attention to the thatched cottage. Although he, Li Xin, does not know whether Meng Jiao is Zhuge Liang or not, it would not be a bad thing to behave a little respectfully and save more face.

After realizing that the young man in front of him turned out to be the king of Chu, Meng Jiao became even more puzzled.

He is a small official of Sinong Temple, and he has never met the king of Chu, so why did the king of Chu come to him?

Meng Jiao made a full salute suspiciously, and said, "It turned out to be His Highness the King of Chu in person. I'm disrespectful."

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Xin waved his hand quickly.

"Is there any official business for His Royal Highness King Chu to come back to Sinong Temple?" Meng Jiao asked.

Li Xin thought for a while, and said, "It's an official business. I made a special trip to find Mr. Meng."

"His Royal Highness, please tell me," Meng Jiao said. There was a somewhat businesslike attitude in his tone, as if he was somewhat resistant and guarded.

This is also very natural. Suddenly someone comes to your place of work to look for you, and it is a person who has never interacted with you before. Most people will be a little wary.

Li Xin didn't care about this small detail, and said directly: "Master Meng, has the news that the imperial court is going to set up a science department?"

"I've heard about it." Meng Jiao didn't lie, he had indeed heard about it.

Sinong Temple is relatively marginalized among many departments of the imperial court, and most politically ambitious young people would not want to work in Sinong Temple. Generally speaking, if transferred to Si Nong Temple, even if transferred at the same level, it would generally be regarded as relegation.

There is no way, traditional Chinese culture is a bit contemptuous of manual workers. Moreover, for those who are officials in the court, the functions of Sinong Temple are very close to the "field slaves" they despise most, so they have been infected with such a stereotype that they are not worthy of the table.

As a minor official of Sinong Temple, Meng Jiao didn't have to go to court, and he didn't have much contact with other departments, so he didn't have much information. I heard that the establishment of the Ministry of Science was due to Li Xin's test flight of a hot air balloon in the palace that day and caused a big sensation.

By the way, although Meng Jiao heard that Li Xin sent people to heaven in the palace, he never saw it with his own eyes. So he always felt that the courtiers might have been fooled by Li Xinxin's special means. After all, how is it possible for a person to fly into the sky?

Even the so-called science department, he felt, might be the result of a compromise between various parties after some political struggle. When Li Xin mentioned these three words, he was secretly vigilant, for fear of being involved in some unpredictable danger or struggle.

Li Xin didn't know that Meng Jiao had gone through so many inner dramas in a short period of time, but continued to put forward his own request: "Your Majesty appointed me as the chief dean of the Science Department, and also responsible for the design of the Science Department. structure"
