800 novel network, the fastest update of the latest chapters!
"Xu Cijiu would write a fart poem. I can write a few words casually to make him feel ashamed. If it weren't for his cousin Xu Qi'an to present the poem that day, the jade pendant of Judge Ziyang should be mine. "
Zhu Tuizhi thought of the festival that day, cursing.
"Will it be imperial examination fraud?" Liu Jue asked tentatively.
"Nonsense!" The students at Yunlu Academy were furious when they heard this, staring at him one by one.
The imperial examination fraud........The word came to Zhu Tuizhi's mind, as if it had passed through all the questions in an instant, and reasonably explained that Xu Cijiu was able to write the famous masterpiece, the high school "huiyuan" the reason.
Immediately, Zhu Tuizhi shook his head: "Impossible, poems are not essays. If you know the test questions in advance, you can have time to fully prepare. Brother Liu, I will ask you to use "Spring Scenery" as the subject and give you three days. Can you write a masterpiece?"
Liu Jue shook his head: "Ashamed, I am afraid I can't write it for three years."
He drank a sip of wine, revealed a deep smile, and lowered his voice: "But, Brother Zhu, think about it, if the person writing poetry for him is Yin Gong Xu Qi'an?"
The atmosphere was quiet, and neither the students of Yunlu Academy nor the students of the Imperial College did not immediately refute it. Instead, he thought about it carefully in his mind.
Yes, if it is Xu Shikui, if you can know the test questions in advance, let alone three days, I am afraid you can write them in one day.
Farewell poems and plum poems, as well as the half of the poem that sang before the "sacrifice" in Yunzhou, were all sitting in front of the battle.
The students of Yunlu Academy are even more reminded of the "Poems of Encouraging Learning" posted on the wall of the Academy's fame. According to the great scholar of the Academy, Xu Ning feasted into a poem with ten breaths, which was stunning and brilliant.
"Hmph, how did Yin Gong Xu Qi'an know the exam questions?"
Although I thought so in my heart, I wouldn't admit it, the student at Yunlu Academy questioned.
"I don't know," Liu Jue waved his hand and smiled: "It was just a drunk, just guessing. But Xu Qi'an is a silver gong, and it is circulated in officialdom. This person is deeply trusted by Wei Yuan... ."
He didn't continue.
With this episode, the students at Yunlu Academy were no longer in the mood to drink, and after sitting for a while, they got up and left.
Liu Jue, who is good at communication, personally sent Zhu Tuizhi and others downstairs, then took the initiative to check out, and everyone dispersed outside the restaurant.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Jue went and returned, getting into a carriage parked outside the restaurant.
A middle-aged man dressed as a rich man sat in Chaimali, with a jade finger on his thumb, a walnut in his hand, and a tea cup in his other hand.
"Zhao Guan Shi!"
Liu Jue is respectful.
The middle-aged man nodded, put down the tea cup, opened the tea cup that was buckled on the small coffee table, poured a cup of tea, frowned and said: "All over the taste of alcohol, have a cup of tea."
"Thank you, Zhao Guanshi." Liu Jue held the tea cup in both hands, sipped and drank it, slowly saying:
"I've found out something. According to those students at Yunlu Academy, Xu Cijiu doesn't know how to write poems at all, and his level is poor. The song "Difficulties on the Road" is almost always a ghostwriter. Of course, I have no evidence."
The middle-aged man smiled satisfied when he heard the words, and said with a grin: "No evidence is needed, this is enough."
.............
Outer city, in the yard with willows.
Jin Lian Daochang, who has just swallowed the blood fetal pill, is bathed in the melting spring sun, feeling that his body is no longer cold and no longer transforming into femininity, but there is a little yin in his body, relying on another blood fetal pill Enough to eliminate.
"This body is not compatible with my soul. It will not take too long. Fortunately, the golden lotus for good fortune will mature soon. The lotus seeds can reshape my body. I should also leave Beijing.
"I hope there will be no accidents then."
Dao Chang Jin Lian prayed in his heart.
.............
"Dalang, then, that girl doesn't seem to be a great person."
Lao Zhang's son, the concierge, thought for a while and described: "Is an ugly girl with black skin, with blue eyes. Hair is also ugly, with curls."
Number five? !
Fuck, why did she come to my house, Dao Master Jin Lian asked her to come? Does she know that I am number three?
Princess Jinlian asked him to help find No. 5 instead of No. 3. You can still use "No. 3 is too low grade" to cover up. After all, the Confucian way of speaking becomes more terrifying as the Confucian language reaches the later stage.
But in the early stage, the ninth to the seventh grades are all spicy chicken, and the sixth-grade Confucian habitat can copy the skills of others, and they have considerable combat power.
In the eyes of Chu Yuanzhen and Hengyuan, although Xu Zijiu on the 3rd is extremely clever, but when it is really needed, Xu Ningyan, a cousin with strong combat power, is more reliable.
It seems that there is only absenteeism today.........Xu Qi'an nodded and said: "I know, after I ask for leave, I will return to the house with you."
After asking for leave, Xu Qi'an sat on horseback and trot to the direction of Xu's mansion, while Xiao Zhang, the son of Lao Zhang, the concierge, trot to follow.
Two quarters later, when he arrived at Xu's Mansion not far from the Yamen, Xu Qi'an handed the rein to Xiao Zhang and went straight into the mansion.
As soon as I entered the outer courtyard, I saw the cooks walking towards the inner courtyard carrying plates of hot dishes, steamed buns, and rice.
"Da Lang is back..." The cook ladies breathed a sigh of relief, and while speaking, they looked at the inner courtyard:
"A girl came to the house, she said she was looking for you, and she couldn't tell her what it was related to you, she didn't know how to say it, she couldn't understand nine sentences in ten sentences."
Nine of the ten sentences are unclear. The southern accent of No. 5 is a bit heavy... Xu Qi'an vomited, and went into the inner courtyard with the cook, and heard the inner hall from a distance. Xu Lingyue’s gentle voice came:
"Girl Lina came all the way from southern Xinjiang, why are you looking for my big brother?"
"It's not your eldest brother, but a few friends, just to experience it..." A voice with a heavy accent sounded, speaking in half-hanging Mandarin.
But the sound is like a silver bell, crisp and sweet, and it's very nice.
"That means you don't know my big brother?"
"I don't know."
Just a few words to find out the details, this girl is not very smart, and it has nothing to do with the older brother.........Xu Lingyue warmly entertained Lina.
The aunt sat on a chair not far away, frowned, and looked at Lina with a slightly hostile look.
This foreign woman really knows how to eat it. In half an hour, if I ate the rations of the family for three days and exchanged it for silver, it would be...how many?
This is because my aunt asked the chef to prepare some rice noodles, steamed buns and vegetable dishes. If it is big fish and meat, how much silver do you have to eat?
Who raises this kind of girl?
"Lina girl? What are you doing in my house."
Xu Qi'an stepped on the threshold, and looked at the little barbarian girl from southern Xinjiang with a look of surprise. Compared with the pale face that was injured yesterday, she now has a ruddy complexion and bright eyes, and it seems that the injury has healed.
"Tao Master Jin Lian asked me to come to you, saying that I would live with you during my stay in Beijing. Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your life-saving grace."
Lina hurriedly put down her chopsticks, swallowed the food, and looked at Xu Qi'an generously.
She originally thought that she had come to the capital, and the person receiving her was either Jinlian Road Chief, No. 3, or No. 4 and No. 6. Who thought, finally lived in a strange man's house.
On yesterday’s event, Daoist Jin Lian had already told her that Lina knew that this young silver gong with an excellent appearance was her lifesaver.
Since she is a trusted friend of the Taoist leader, Lina trusts him unreservedly.
She called me Master Xu, not number three...Xu Qi'an stared at Lina for a moment, unable to see the clues in those clear and innocent blue eyes.
Why did Tao Master Jin Lian arrange her by my side? What is the meaning of this?
Old Silver Coin did not discuss with me before doing this. Judging from my experience in dealing with Old Silver Coins, after discussing it beforehand, there was no plan.
If you don’t discuss it in advance, you must have profound meaning.
So, Xu Qi'an asked: "What else did the chief Taoist say to you?"
Lina gnawed the steamed buns and said vaguely: "Dao Chief Jinlian said that you are a close friend he met in the capital. Let me stay at the house with peace of mind."
Swallowing the steamed bun, she said a little angry and aggrieved: "The Daoist said that I can eat too much to support me."
Ah...Xu Qi'an looked sluggish. It turned out that Jin Lian sent her to me because she could not afford it?
This is really an unassailable reason. For the same reason, No. 6 who lives in a nursing home and No. 4, who depends on old friends for food and accommodation, can't support the little girl in southern Xinjiang.
Damn it, it feels so uncomfortable to be regarded as a big dog. People are floating in the rivers and lakes. It is not you or me. Retribution...Xu Qi'an sighed: "That's the way it is."
"Ahem!"
The aunt coughed vigorously to demonstrate her presence as a mistress.
But Xu Qi'an ignored her and said to himself: "Okay, I'll let someone arrange a room for you right away."
"Xu Ning Banquet!!"
My aunt yelled angrily, got up from the chair, pinched her waist, and glared at each other: "I am your aunt, you, haven't you thought of discussing it with me?"
While speaking, he looked frequently at the messy dining table and told my unlucky nephew that this girl was a bottomless pit.
This.... Xu Qi'an suddenly hesitated. Aunty thought was very reasonable. The price of goods in the capital is expensive. This girl can eat so much and it is too expensive.
Furthermore, my luck has changed recently. I stopped picking money and changed to accumulating reputation. Then Wei Yuan deducted my salary again.
"Big brother, did you forget the essence of chicken?"
At this moment, Xu Lingyue spoke, and she settled an account for Xu Qi'an: "The salt transport yamen in the capital issued two thousand catties of salt last year and made a profit of five thousand taels, of which the eldest brother accounted for 10% and earned 500 Two. You have never returned this money.
"I asked the officials of the Yanyun Yamen that the court plans to open at least ten workshops this year to make chicken essence. When the settlement is completed at the end of this year, it will be an unimaginable huge wealth.
"So, our family has no shortage of money."
Xu Lingyue's "salt bill" refers only to chicken essence. Now chicken essence, like salt, has become an important strategic material for the court. It turned out last year, and mass production was not yet possible, but after the expansion of production this year, the profit is immeasurable.
If you don't tell me, I really forgot......it must be the bad old man Jianzheng who blocked the chicken essence, so I can't remember it, he wants to cheat me.
Xu Qi'an was surprised to find that he was actually the father of horse in this era.
Lina didn't understand at all, but she thought it was amazing. She came to the capital from southern Xinjiang and knew what a copper plate could buy and what a penny of silver could buy.
At the same time, I also know how difficult it is to earn money.
Subconsciously, she looked at the "Master Xu" with pure admiration in her eyes, just like a little girl seeing the neighbor’s brother burning his instant noodles, wearing jeans, and a decorative iron chain hanging from her waist. , Dancing hip-hop in their yard.
"Why don't I know about this." Aunt asked suspiciously.
"Auntie doesn't know, I let Lingyue tell you." Xu Qi'an looked at her sister.
Xu Lingyue looked blank: "Mother Xu has forgotten it."
The aunt opened her mouth and was speechless. She was not sure if she had forgotten, and she had no impression of such a large piece of "profit".
At this time, Lina asked with an admiring tone: "May I ask Mr. Xu's name, Gao."
This kind of questioning method was learned when she wandered about in Dafeng.
"Xu Qi'an!"
"Xu, Xu Qi'an..." Lina tilted her head, thinking for a long time, and suddenly screamed: "You are Xu Qi'an, didn't you die in Yunzhou?"
Auntie and Xu Lingyue looked over suspiciously.
This foreign girl claims to know Xu Qi'an, but she doesn't know about her coming back to life. Then, what did she do in the mansion?
"Take a step to speak."
Xu Qi'an pulled Lina out of the side hall, walked to the flower garden and stopped, and explained:
"I am not dead. Li Miaozhen made a mistake. Well, I am actually a member of the Tiandihui. Although there is no corresponding ground book fragment, I know everything about you."
"No wonder Dao Master Jin Lian asked me to come to you." Lina smiled happily and easily believed Xu Qi'an's words without any doubt.
What a lie.........Xu Qi'an solemnly said: "This is a secret, you can't disclose it to the outside world, even inside the Tiandihui."
"Good!"
Lina smiled and nodded vigorously. When she laughed, she was very bright. Southern Xinjiang was hot. Lina's complexion was a healthy wheat color, but from the perspective of those who admire fairness and beauty, this is a little black skin.
"Let's eat."
It would be great if everyone in the world was as innocent and innocent as No. 5... Xu Qi'an looked at the lively figure from his back and sighed with emotion.
He still has many things to ask No. 5, such as how she knew that No. 3 was the one who picked up the silver, not the friend out of nothing.
Not in a hurry. People with simple personality are usually more persistent. If they say confidentiality, they will definitely keep it confidential.
But when she eats people with a soft mouth, when she eats a few more days at home, if she has a conscience, she knows that prostitutes are not right.
..............
Cabinet.
Wang Zhenwen, who wears scarlet robe, is at his desk and reviewing Zhezi. He has been sitting for two hours and has been to the latrine several times on the way. The rest of the time is devoted to official duties.
The cabinet is equivalent to the emperor’s personal secretary, with great power, much higher than the six departments.
The large and small memorials of the imperial court, and even the suggestions made by the people to the emperor, were collected by the general political envoys, and the directors of courtesy reported to the emperor for his inspection, and then passed them to the cabinet.
The cabinet is responsible for drafting the handling opinions, and then the supervisor of ceremonies submits the opinions to the emperor to decide how to deal with them, and finally the six proofreaders issue them.
At the time of Emperor Yuanjing, the Secretary of General Political Affairs directly passed the memorial to the cabinet, and the cabinet drafted its handling opinions, and finally forwarded it to Emperor Yuanjing.
A process is omitted in the middle.
This is because Emperor Yuan Jing believes that the extra process in the middle hinders his cultivation.
It is precisely this process omitted in the middle, which is the most tricky. Because of this, Emperor Yuan Jing saw only the folds that the cabinet showed him.
Of course, although Emperor Yuanjing was not a good emperor, he was an emperor who used power. In order to curb the excessive power of civil servants and evade imperial power, he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
This method is called "Wei Yuan".
From the perspective of the overall situation, the various parties and Wei Yuan's party are like fire and water. In terms of the small structure, the fighting among the various parties is tragic.
Emperor Yuan Jing sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, responsible for maintaining balance and practicing Taoism with peace of mind.
Wang Zhenwen opened the last memorial, and after reading the contents above, he muttered and sat quietly for a long time. Then, take out a piece of paper, write down your suggestion, and paste it on the memorial.
After doing all this, it happened to be scattered at dusk.
............
At night, there was a life and death enemy of Xu Lingyin on the table of Xu Mansion.
For this elder sister who turned out to be born, Xu Lingyin loves and hates it because the "sister" came, and the food at home has increased several times.
Hate because this big sister really eats too much...
My mouth is so small that I can't eat her at all.
Second Uncle Xu calmly looked at Lina, turned his head and asked his nephew: "Is she from the Southern Xinjiang Gu Clan, from the Ligu Division?"
Lina lifted her face from the bowl, with rice grains on the corners of her mouth, and said crisply: "I belong to the Ligu Ministry, how does Uncle Xu know."
Who is your second uncle! Xu Pingzhi snorted coldly.
At the battle of Shanhaiguan, he experienced the great battle in his own life and saw the terrible stamina of the barbarians of the Power Gu Ministry. Their characteristic is that they can eat.
It is common for a strong and strong Ligu tribe to eat a cow in a day.
Back then, Wei Yuan never captured the members of the Ligu tribe, but directly killed them, saving food and grass.
"Brother, tell you something." Xu Xinnian said suddenly.
"I knew you had something, but my brows didn't loosen. Tell me." Xu Qi'an robbed Lina for meat, and replied to his cousin.
"Miss Wang's family will invite me to visit the lake tomorrow." Xu Xinnian said with caution.
"What do you think?" Xu Qi'an muttered.
Xu Xinnian said with a ‘huh’, put down his chopsticks, and said with disdain: "There are no more than two reasons, either out of personal vengeance, and want to find a place for the niece of the criminal ministry.
"Either Wang Shoufu didn't want to let me go, and secretly suffocated."
"Then what kind of possibility do you think?" Xu Pingzhi continued.
Xu New Year thought for a while, and regretted: "Although I may become Wang Shoufu's confidant in the future, I won't be so worried about him. I think Miss Wang wants to make things worse."
Hearing this, Xu Lingyue put down her chopsticks, her face was serious: "Second brother, you are not good at dealing with women, I will let you go..."
She quickly glanced at Xu Qi'an, and changed her words: "Although people don't have the messy fighting, women still know women best."
Xu Xinnian laughed at the IQ of the eldest sister, "Who said I must go? Miss Wang invited me to visit the lake, not Wang Shoufu. In that case, it is not proper for men and unmarried women to swim together. I It is rejected.
"The art of war, the enemy advances and we retreat, we are weak, and you can't hold the front."
Yes, it's okay....Xu Qi'an nodded: "You have decided, and you also asked me what I did."
The family said as they ate, the atmosphere was harmonious~IndoMTL.com~ The next day, Emperor Yuan Jing finished meditating, studied the scriptures for half an hour, took the bait, and then had a stick of incense. The morning class was over.
At this time, he will take some time to review the memorandum, and it won't be too long, because the cabinet has already prepared a "voucher" and he only needs to approve the memorial.
The first book he opened was a memorial to the newly appointed Yudu Yushi. The content was that Zhao Tingfang accepted bribes during the impeachment of Dongge University and vented the question to Xu Xinnian, a student of Yunlu Academy.
Zhezili also provided evidence that the student's poems belonged to the fourth class (the lowest fifth class) during the rural examination. How could it be possible to write such a handed-down work "Difficulty on the Road".
Seeing this, Emperor Yuanjing didn't pay attention to it. The poems are not articles, and the words of the articles are very serious. Poems should be lighter. Even if you know the exam questions, you find that finding a poet is more difficult than getting the exam questions.
But then, in the memorial, it was mentioned that the student had a cousin who was a silver gong who played the gong at the government office, named Xu Qi'an.
As everyone knows, Xu Qi'an is the chief poet of Dafeng.
After reading the memorial, Yuan Jingdi’s pupils sharpened, but he did not comment, and then he uncovered the cabinet’s "voting plan", which read the cabinet’s suggestions:
"The imperial examinations have been the most important thing since ancient times for the selection of talents in the imperial court. Fraud in the imperial examinations is not tolerable. I hope your majesty will investigate them carefully."
Emperor Yuan Jing pondered for a moment, lifted his pen, and approved the red.
