On February 18th, the stunning season, the clouds in the sky are very heavy, the rain is not rainy. All ????? 520. ????

In the boudoir on the second floor in the backyard of Yan's house, Yan Yan was sitting by the window with her ears propped up. She heard her mother's movements from a distance and hurriedly ran to the study.

 This caused her maid Yong'er to follow in a panic.

 “Sanniang, wait for me.”

Yan Yan didn't wait and rushed to the study, and sure enough she saw Yan Zhenqing coming back from outside.

She obediently said a blessing and said: "I have met my grandpa, and my daughter wants to wish him well."

Wei Yun frowned and said, "My daughter's family is more demure. Be careful not to get married."

Yan Zhenqing said: "I came here in a hurry and saluted again. This is because I want to make a request to my father."

"Where is it? My daughter is concerned about my grandpa. Since she has resigned from the post of county captain, I wonder where my grandpa has gone today?"

Yan Zhenqing did not answer, waved his wife and daughter to go down, and walked into the study.

But Yan Yan refused to give up and insisted on asking, "Did I meet my brother and he was arrested again?"

  He was not arrested. It was just that the Ministry of Rites needed to verify some matters, but he refused to cooperate, so he has been relying on the Ministry of Rites. "

This is not a case of being caught?"

"Who wants to catch him? If he is willing to come out, he can come out on the first day."

Yan Yan was reluctant and said, "Brother must be trying to protect his own reputation. Have you seen him today?"

Hmm." Yan Zhenqing thought about the meeting just now, and her eyes became gloomy.

　　"Aren't you willing to speak for him? I understand. I just want to take him to Longyou with you."

It’s not that I don’t want to take action, it’s that he, the number one scholar, handled it inappropriately.”

Yan Yan kept asking: "What's wrong with the rules? My brother's name is Chang'an. He is not only the best in talent, but also the best in reputation. The examiner deliberately asked him to break the taboo. This is against the rules."

Yan Zhenqing didn’t know how to tell his daughter about the details behind this incident. He sighed: “He is young and his talent is not worthy of the number one scholar. After all, he failed even in his 35th grade.”

"In the Tang Dynasty Examination Hall, why does my brother need talent when he comes here?" Yan Yan was puzzled and said: "The rules of the examination hall are that both talents and reputations are good, and the examiners are impressed by their writing skills. The papers in the examination room are neat. He is not honest.

Did you follow the rules carefully? Why, my brother got into trouble, but even the rules were changed."

“Where did you learn to be sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued?” Yan Zhenqing scolded her gently, but he actually knew where her daughter learned these things from. “My daughter just doesn’t know how to teach her to be a top scholar with great difficulty.”

"He has deceived the emperor." Yan Zhenqing sighed and said, "He should not have concealed his true life experience from the saint, and became a saint.

 The defeat is also the holy family...

At this point, Yan Yan still firmly supported Xue Bai, saying: "Although I am deceiving you, can I tell the truth? It will cost me my life. He will naturally find an opportunity to confess his love to the saint.

What does this have to do with the examiners? They want to meddle in other people’s business and cause problems for them.”

"shut up."

“My daughter said that they were the ones who secretly caused trouble and bullied people in the examination room, but they said righteously that my brother was bullying me. To put it bluntly, it was because my brother had no influence in his family...

This is not necessarily true, but Yan Zhenqing's expression changed, he stroked his beard and thought about it, and finally, he suddenly opened the door and left.

“It’s rare for Qing ministers to come here today, but it’s because of the imperial examination?”

 “Brother Chuting, have you heard about it too?”

"Xue Bai is also my student." Zheng Qian sighed: "After hearing about the poem question in Jinke, I knew that he violated the taboo in the examination room and actually got the top prize. I have been very worried recently and sent people to Xue's house to inquire, but there was no news.

I wonder what the outcome will be?"

Yan Zhenqing wanted to see how the world saw the situation, so instead of telling him everything in advance, he first asked, "What does Brother Chu Ting think of it?"

"I feel strange." Zheng Qian said: "He is almost the number one scholar appointed by the saint, but why does Cui Gong deliberately make things difficult for him?"

 “Perhaps you don’t like Xue Bai?” Yan Zhenqing said: “For example, Li Taibai, although his talent is astonishing, he is still the son of a businessman.

Xue Bai was not allowed to take the imperial examination and spent half his life in office. Xue Bai also had a poor background, so he worked under a powerful family. He was no different from a handsome man, a businessman, or an actor. The princes were naturally reluctant to approve him. Brother Chuting, do you think this speculation is reasonable? "

Zheng Qian sighed, stood up, held a bundle of papers, spread them out on the table, pointed at them and asked, "Is it related to this?"

 “Not bad.Full version????????????.????”

"Sure enough, this matter was caused by the princes suppressing Xue Bai." Zheng Qian said, "I would like to report it to the saint."

"No, there is something hidden in this matter." Yan Zhenqing said seriously: "The reason why Xue Bai suffered like this is because he deceived the emperor.

 It was another long conversation.

Zheng Qian was not surprised by Xue Bai's life experience. He had already guessed that Xue Bai was not Xue Ling's son. If a gambler goes into debt and hides, how can he not come back after hearing that his son has become famous?

 It’s just because this is a good story told by a sage, and everyone pretends to believe it.

Did Duke Cui punish Xue Bai because he deceived the king? "

“If this is the case, then the title of No. 1 Scholar must not be preserved, and one should not even have any ideas. Failure to know what is appropriate is a sure way to death.” Yan Zhenqing said, “That’s why I said that I would go to Longyou for a year and stay away.”

He changed the topic and said: "But today I went to see this Zhuzi, and he said that if he could lose the top prize promised by the saint, then everyone can deceive him."

Zheng Qiandao: "If the Qing ministers have something to say, you may as well say it directly. As long as I can help him, I will never shirk it."

"I was just thinking, is it really because Cui Gong targeted him in this way because he deceived the emperor? Or is it because I am an incompetent apprentice, not only a handsome man, a businessman, an actor, but also a lowly slave, and I get too many things. "

This statement was a bit cryptic, but Zheng Qian understood it.

 Same means, different ends, but the essence of the matter is completely different. He leaned over and asked: "How to do it?"

Yan Zhenqing said: "You have to take a look at his paper first. If the paper is not good, there is no need to talk about it."

To make iron, you need to be strong yourself. This is an ancient truth. "But." Zheng Qian said: "I have a disciple who serves as the chief clerk of the Ministry of Rites. He is one of the examiners in Chunwei. I asked him to take out Xue Bai's paper... .It should be shown to everyone."

 “Thank you for your hard work, Brother Chuting.”

"It's not hard work." Zheng Qian stood up and said with a smile: "Xue Bai once took risks to save my life. I'm lucky that I can do something small for him."

  …..

 This day, I first made a trip to the Ministry of Rites.

When he came out, Yan Zhenqing's expression was a little different.

“He is worthy of being a disciple taught by officials of the Qing Dynasty.” Zheng Qian said: “The literary talent is not great, but the workmanship is impeccable.”

“He is also a disciple of Brother Chuting.” Yan Zhenqing said: “The handwriting is still a little bad, and the writing skills are not enough.

 “It’s very strange, it’s very strange.”

 Back home, Yan Zhenqing no longer hesitated, sharpened the ink, spread out a long roll of bamboo paper, dipped the pen in the ink, and wrote quickly.

 “The seventh year of Gan Tianbao’s spring siege to recruit scholars and the letter from Cui Gong of the Ministry of Rites.”

“On the eighteenth day of the second lunar month, Xuanyi Lang and Yan Zhenqing, the supervisory censor, would like to send this letter to Your Excellency, Shangshu.”

I heard that those who are prominent in the world must be recommended by the sages and sages of the past; those who set the example for future generations must be the successors of the king. This sincerity will only happen once in a thousand years. Your Excellency has a vision of the world, is upright and pragmatic,

Xue Bai did not follow the popular trend, but he was humble and cherished unparalleled talents. He was given gifts by his disciples. Your Excellency, your ambition is Du Ji, and you snatched talents and repaid them to the king. This was the first of its kind in ancient times.

I am deeply aware of this and try to discuss how the country recruits scholars.

“Bai lost his temper when he was young, lost his memory when he was young, and his body was like duckweed. Meng Cui did not give up, and promoted him to the chief minister, and he shed tears of gratitude.

The brush was swaying on the paper. Xue Bai stopped what he was doing when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

He turned around and saw Da Xixun coming in, and his eyes became wary.

Xue Lang is polite." Da Xixun smiled at him, "What are you writing?

“Cui Gong selected me as the number one scholar, and I have to thank him.”

"No need, no need." Da Xixun raised his hand and said: "The room in the Ministry of Rites is really simple. Mr. Xue invites you now."

 “Where to go?”

"Alas, Cui Qiao is old and confused. He made a mistake in the question and mistakenly selected you as the number one scholar. I have already submitted a petition to deny your title."

 Really? Cui Gong promised me to check the date again, but why did he change his mind? "

Da Xixun stepped forward and whispered: "Xue Lang is confused, does he still want to become the number one scholar? I have heard about it, but you let Cui Qiao and Zhang Zan allow you to think about it slowly? Who do you think you are? You are seeking death.

.For the latest chapter, please go to [Full~Ben520 Reading], please remember our website: xs520.co If you are one step too late, the saint will see that you are so ignorant, and no one will be able to protect you after issuing a decree. You will still be the 17th Prime Minister.

My mother begged the Prime Minister hard, and then the Prime Minister was willing to come forward. Let's go now, everything is over."

This is a nice thing to say, but it is extremely powerful.

  Cui Qiao, Zhang Zan can still discuss it. As the right prime minister, Li Linfu has a domineering attitude. He does not need to consult Xue Bai's wishes and directly asks the Ministry of Rites to write a letter to dismiss him as the top scholar.

They are all powerful people, and they only act based on interests. Seeing that Xue Bai lost the favor of the holy family, he naturally started to divide it among others. What others were competing for was Xue Bai's imperial examination ranking, Yang Party power, and industrial interests. In the end, Li Linfu smiled contemptuously and laughed at these people.

Not knowing what was most valuable, I raised my hand and crossed out Xue Bai.

It's like dividing a piece of meat. Of course, it doesn't matter whether the piece of meat agrees or not. In this case, there is no point in Xue Bai staying in the Ministry of Rites.

Da Xixun led him all the way out, arranged the horses, and said, "Mr. Xue will just follow me to the Youxiang Mansion."
