Chapter 180 Making a fuss in Sendai(1/2)
Xuanyangfang, Xue Zhai. Complete edition 520.????
The music was playing long and slow, and "The Romance of the West Chamber" was being rehearsed in the courtyard, which was somewhat similar to the situation in the Liyuan. When Zhang Zan came to visit, he thought he would see Xue Bai looking decadent, but he didn't expect that a young man could be calm about honor and disgrace.
Zheng Qian was also there. When he saw Zhang Zeng coming, he smiled, but his attitude was inexplicably distant. He was not as friendly as he was to Xue Bai. Zhang Zeng was friends with everyone, but he seemed to be separated from everyone.
Brother Chuting, do you want to fully support Xue Lang as the number one scholar?"
"This is also support for Cui Shangshu." Zheng Qian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have read Xue Bai's paper. Cui Gong made an exception and selected him as the number one scholar. He is not wrong in this matter. We will give our full support."
Zhang Tan said: "That's it."
He knew clearly that Zheng Qian was praising Cui Qiao for killing him, just as Cui Qiao was praising Xue Bai for killing him. But there was no need to explain it clearly. After a few perfunctory words, he invited Xue Bai to talk alone. The two sat down by a small pond in the garden.
.
Do you think you can keep the No. 1 spot?”
“Winning the first prize is the true forgiveness of a saint.
Zhang Zeng asked: "Then how do you want to seek the saint's true forgiveness? Tell us about your plan."
"Be honest and return to my true life experience." Xue Bai said: "The prince-in-law knows this is true. After all, if you don't believe me, you should believe Princess Tang Chang."
Zhang Zan smiled rarely.
He may not really like Princess Tang Chang that much. But when he thinks of her, he can think of the young days before becoming the consort, which has become the only comfort in his damn life now.
After laughing, he shook his head and said, "I regret...I regret agreeing to Supervisor He. Now I just want to settle the aftermath of these three common people cases as soon as possible."
“Simple.” Xue Bai said: “The prince-in-law can bring one person to the imperial court for envoys, Yuan Zai.”
Zhang Zan asked: "Why should I help you but not Cui Qiao?"
“The saint wants to see who is honest, I am more honest than him.”
"good....
After the conversation, Xue Bai looked at Zhang Zan's figure walking away, thought of the word "honest" he said, and shook his head.
Zhang Zan seems gentle, but in fact he does not regard him as a friend, so he naturally does not need to confide in Zhang Zan, and there is no need to tell Zhang Zan his plans.

After meeting the guests, Xue Bai did not go to the courtyard where the opera was rehearsed. Instead, he walked into another side courtyard where many people were discussing things.
"I had troubles with Wu Lang in the spring and autumn of the sixth year of Tianbao. Why? The examination room is too unfair. They are afraid that the people who have been appointed will not be able to pass us in the examination room. They use the method of writing papers to judge our talents outside the examination room. We
After doing so, they kicked out talented and famous people from the examination room by violating taboos. Every year, I feel "heartache", and now I really feel pain in my heart."
“If we swallow our anger this time, they will ride on us in the future. I support going to the Ministry of Rites to cause trouble...
“Hey, what are you saying about making trouble?” Du Wulang said: “We went to the Ministry of Rites to make a generous speech to support Cui Shangshu’s selection of Xue Bai as the number one scholar.”
Xue Bai stopped outside the hall and waved to Cen Shen to come out and talk to him alone.
“Brother Cen already has an official status. Do you really want to go with us?”
"Haha, what are you afraid of?" Cen Shen had the wild spirit of a man in the Tang Dynasty, and said: "Not only do I stand up for Xue Lang, I stand up for Gao Sanwulang, and I stand up for the underappreciated people in the world, of course I should stand up.

Xue Bai asked back: "Brother Cen has decided to go to Anxi and join General Gao Xianzhi?'
"Yes, the general has taken over as the Jiedu envoy of the four towns in Anxi. He is willing to recommend me, be promoted to the imperial title, increase his salary, and make contributions to the frontier fortress!" Cen Shen said, "If you don't risk your life and just do nothing in this court, when will you be able to do anything?
Gain merit?"
"If this thing doesn't work out, I should be on the run. How about hiding my name and going to Anxi with Brother Cen?"
"Okay, if things don't work out, I'll take you to Anxi; but if things work out, the top scholar can help me in the future."
It's easy to talk to such a refreshingly smart person.
Xue Bai and Cen Shen turned back to the hall, where many people were shouting "Surround the Ministry of Rites".
Cen Shen quickly stepped forward, stood on the table, and said: "Listen to what I say, the Ministry of Rites is located in the imperial city, in the Shangshu Province... If you want to surround the Ministry of Rites, you must first surround the Shangshu Province."
Good! Cen Erqilang said it well."
"There are many guards in the imperial city. If you dare to act recklessly, the Jinwu Guards will come and chase you away. As the saying goes, "Capture the thief first, capture the king first. We must first block Cui Qiao, the Minister of Rites, surround Cui Qiao, and force him to express his position. Only then can we make the Jinwu Guards use rat weapons."
"
I'll come." Gao Shi stepped out and said, "I'll subdue Cui Qiao."
Thirty-five, do you want to vent your anger? Don’t hurt him, haha...

Two days later, the Ministry of Rites.
“I wonder when the decree to move me to the eastern capital will come down?”
Cui Qiao looked out the window and sighed in her heart, thinking that the people in the court were really not very kind to treat. Li Linfu controlled the government and the powerful family only cared about personal gain, so it was better to go back.
The memorial was placed in Zhongshu Province, but there was no reply, including the matter of deposing Xue Bai.
It must have been Yan Zhenqing's article that played a role. It was ridiculous. It was said to be written to him, the Minister of Rites, but he hadn't read a word of it, but it had already spread throughout Chang'an. Recently, it has become more and more outrageous. Regarding the matter of "virtuous", in order to recommend more poor candidates to the gold list, Xue Bai, who was born as an official slave, was deliberately selected as the top candidate. "
If this continues, until he moves to the Eastern Capital and stays, some people will probably say that he offends the powerful by standing up for a poor family.
I walked out of the Ministry of Rites in a worried mood and passed through the Shangshu Province, known as "Sendai". In front of me was the Imperial City Street.
“Cui Gong!”
Suddenly someone shouted, Cui Qiao turned around, recognized Gao Shi and shook his head.
“After meeting Cui Gong, the students were offended and dared to ask what was wrong with the students’ imperial examination poems and poems?”
Cui Qiao had no intention of having a deep conversation with him and said: "Your poems are tragic and heroic, which is very good. It's a pity that you are not good at poetry for exams. Why should you be obsessed with imperial examinations?"
“Can you please give me some advice from Mr. Cui?”
…..
In the distance, people were running across the Imperial City Street and rushing towards Sendai.
Cui Qiao realized something was wrong, turned around and left, but Gao Shi grabbed Cui Gong and stopped him from leaving, asking Cui Gong for further advice.

"you..
Gao Shi was strong and strong, but Cui Qiao couldn't even struggle at all. Several followers came forward to stop him, but Gao Shi pulled Cui Qiao and ran away, squeezing into the crowd of people who were coming.
"Is it Mr. Cui? Please take a look at my records again!" A scholar said in surprise, "Mr. Cui selects scholars for the country. He looks at his talent but not his family background. He is a true husband!"
“Let me go, let me go!”
But more and more people have gathered around... In fact, it may not be Juzi. Who knows whether he has been bribed by someone with intentions. The whole book is 520.????
A flood of praise also poured in for Cui Qiao.
Mr. Cui is the first person in history to be able to select an official slave as the number one scholar!"
"Shut up!" Cui Qiao didn't recognize him at all and said, "Xue Bai is not an official slave. He is the Xue family of Hedong, the great-grandson of Pingyang County Duke. This matter is a legend in the imperial court."
He wished he could continue to yell: "What do you ordinary people still hope for? Get out!"
But his entourage had been squeezed into nowhere, leaving his old body helpless among the crowd.
“Did you hear that? Xue Bai is not an official slave. “Xue Bai is an official slave! He is not my son!”
Suddenly, someone in front started crying loudly. Everyone turned their heads to look, and someone shouted: "It's Xue Ling, Xue Ling is here!"
“Is this the Xue Ling of ‘Xiang Ling playing drums and harp’?”
It was hard for Xue Ling, a gambler, to make his name known to everyone overnight. He was pulled by a big man, squeezed through the crowd, and stood in front of Cui Qiao.
“Everyone, listen to me, I am Xue Ling!”
Xue Bai knew that Li Longji would not take the initiative to admit that he had made a mistake in a good story on Yuan Ye. Then it was time for him to get rid of his identity as Xue Ling's son, so he could only violate the holy will, insist on exposing it, and prove it in front of the world.
Already.
This is very risky, but he can try to minimize the bad impact. First of all, as soon as possible, before Li Longji has made a statement,
It is too late to resist the decree; secondly, you can't make trouble in front of the imperial court, which will make Li Longji lose face; finally, let Xue Ling take the initiative to take over the cause of the mistake, cut the mess quickly, and downplay the things Li Longji made wrong before.
“Xue Bai is not my son, I made a mistake!”
Xue Ling's face was sad and distressed, and she shouted: "I haven't been in Chang'an for so long because I went to Luoyang and found my long-lost son."
“Grandpa!”
Another young man jumped out.
Cui Qiao looked around and saw that this boy was really about seventeen years old. He was handsome and looked a bit like Xue Bai.
"Look, this is my lost Liulang. I made a mistake before!" Xue Ling said: "What a coincidence, what a coincidence!"
The explanation that can best prevent the saint from appearing unwise in this matter is precisely the three words "what a coincidence".
"Today, in front of Cui Shangshu, we, father and son, recognize each other. I also ask Cui Shangshu to prove that Xue Bai is not my son."
