Taipingfang is located in the southwest of the imperial city, where dignitaries and dignitaries gather. The new residence of Wang Zhi is located here.

Wang Zhi was born as a concubine, and his old house was in Anlefang, the southernmost part of Chang'an City, which was a poor area. This new house was just completed, and it was splendid. Even the railings of the well were made of Baodian.

It is worth mentioning that there is a "Ziyu Pavilion" in the house, which he asked craftsmen from the Fulu Kingdom in the Western Region to build. Every time he walked in and sat down, water would flow down the eaves of the pavilion. Even in the hot summer,

The pavilion is still as cool as autumn.

Wang Zhi also built an envoy next to his home. He held twenty posts, and there was an endless stream of people asking him to review official documents every day.

On this day, he was not interested in these official duties.

"The right minister said that he entered the palace to calm the situation, but the situation became more and more troubled?"

Pei Mian stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "I'm afraid the right prime minister underestimated Xue Bai."

Wang Xie didn't pay much attention to Xue Bai before, so he couldn't help but wonder, and asked: "How can one have such great energy?"

"There is a mastermind behind Shuzi. Li Shizhi asked himself to be demoted to the outside world, but the right prime minister's thunderous methods could not be used; the so-called "Five Sons of Chunwei" in Chang'an City became more and more popular; Du Fu wrote famous articles one after another to show that there were sages in the wild; Zheng

Please re-examine Qianzou... Behind all of this is the planning of Xue Bai and the people behind the scenes."

"How can I see it?"

"Yesterday, a painting was hung in the lobby of Fengwei Building, which attracted many people to watch. I also took the painter to copy a painting and asked the prince to see it. The person who signed the painting is named Han Yu."

Wang Mian watched Pei Mian slowly unfold a scroll. When he saw the lifelike purple-robed official, his eyes narrowed and his expression became complicated.

I finally understand why things got out of hand after the Right Prime Minister entered the palace.

He turned his back and waved his hand, indicating to put the painting away.

"This painting really ridicules the Prime Minister too much." Pei Mian said: "They did it on purpose, not only to increase their reputation, but also to clarify their personal grudges with the Prime Minister. In this way, the Prime Minister will take action against them.

He was all tied up."

Wang Xian turned around with a serious look on his face and said: "It was because the right prime minister was afraid of the nonsense of people in the grassland, so he asked me to preside over the scientific examination and depose them. Now that it has happened like this, I have to bear the consequences?"

Pei Mian understood what he meant.

Wang Zhi is not as jealous as Li Linfu, and is not very interested in these things. He is busy paying tribute to the saint recently and does not want to be tainted with right and wrong.

"Prince, how about this?" Pei Mian whispered: "Just give the so-called 'Five Chunwei' to..."

He stretched out his hand and struck it in the air.

Wang Fei squinted his eyes and shook his head.

"No one will suspect that we did it." Pei Mian said, "They will only think that it was the right prime minister."

"It's not worth getting into trouble for something like this."

Although Wang Zhi is responsible for the examination in this department, as long as the sage knows that he is acting on Li Linfu's orders, even if fraud is discovered and the examination is rescheduled, he will suffer losses but not the fundamentals.

On the other hand, if he commits murder and is found out, he will turn against Li Linfu and make the saint fearful...

Pei Mian saw Wang Zhi's expression and immediately understood that the Right Prime Minister and his group were planning to compromise temporarily.

The trouble that should be eliminated, Yang Zhao, has been eliminated, so it doesn't matter who wins the Jinshi.

Tianbao also tried again in the second year of his life, but it could not damage the foundation of the prime minister's house. However, if the fight with Xue Bai continues and the trouble becomes too big, the saint will feel that this prime minister is not useful.

"Alang, someone from the Right Prime Minister's Office is here, calling you and Yushi Pei over..."

~~

Li Linfu put down the scroll in his hand, his expression extremely ugly.

But at this time, he had to calm down.

We have to figure out what the saint thinks. The saint will be a little unhappy when he sees this painting, but what if the noble concubine says she likes it?

If you report to Miyagi in a hurry, it’s not hard to imagine what will happen next...

"You are so arrogant that you dare to make people draw me playing dominoes?!"

"The sage calmed down, but the boy was in a state of disbelief. Because Ge Nu served me as a tile attendant, he was so proud that he told the painter that he dreamed of playing dominoes with the gods and asked him to draw it."

"I see, who doesn't know that he is a saint? He might as well think he is a god."

"Well, looking at it this way, this painting is actually quite good. It depicts me and the imperial concubine very charmingly..."

Li Linfu sighed slightly, knowing that it would only make everyone aware of it and make fun of him.

Thinking about it again, he knew that Xue Bai was deliberately irritating him.

Now all the scholars are watching the excitement. No matter how he responds, the matter will only get bigger and bigger. If he can't suppress it and the saint finds it troublesome... the consequences will be disastrous.

Compared with the saint's mood, the imperial examination quota is a trivial matter.

After calming down his anger, he looked at the signature at the end of the scroll and murmured.

"Han Yu?"

After a long pursuit, the person behind Xue Bai finally began to surface. But why, after thinking so hard, could he never recall that there was such a person in the court?

After a long time, Wang Xian and Pei Mian arrived.

Li Linfu first asked Pei Mian, "What do you think of the painting hanging in Fengwei Tower?"

"Right Prime Minister, my subordinates are really furious when they see this. Xue Bai bullies people too much!"

"It's okay." Li Linfu said with a somewhat open-minded smile, "I'm asking you, what do you think of the person who signed the signature?"

Pei Mian pondered: "Presumably everything Xue Bai did came from Han Yu's guidance. No wonder he was able to write such poems. Just looking at that painting, he has superb calligraphy and painting skills, the scenery is unrestrained, the painting is delicate and exquisite, and the style of painting

The inheritance of the same line shows that the fine brushwork is profound. The calligraphy is also excellent, although it is not as good as Zhang Xu and Yan Zhenqing, it can be said to be a master."

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and continued: "This person took action. The painting seems to be a joke, but it is very harmful to the reputation of the right prime minister. He has a deep scheming mind."

"The truth doesn't care about these false names. We want to find him."

"The strange thing is, why is such a person unknown? There is another detail. He does not have a seal, so he must be a pseudonym."

"Check."

"Here."

The more Li Linfu thought about it, the more fearful he became, and the more determined he became in his mind, and he began to give instructions to Wang Zhi.

"The weeds in the grass have been removed, and now the crazy students are making a big fuss. Before they exposed the leak, they allowed a retest."

"Right Prime Minister?"

"I have made up my mind."

Wang Zhi had anticipated this situation that day, so he was determined not to let Yuan Jie and others go, and wanted to use Li Shi's case to establish his authority. At this time, he was full of resentment, but had nothing to say, so he had to respond respectfully.

At this moment, an official rushed over and reported: "Alang, the disciples have gathered together, I'm afraid there's going to be trouble!"

~~

"The Five Chunwei Sons are here!"

In the Imperial College, all the officials turned around and saw five men walking out of the Imperial Academy.

One of them was not Yuan Jie, but the younger Xue Bai.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to what we have to say. Since we are asking for a reexamination, if the sage asks the reason, can you guys answer it?"

"The imperial examination is unfair, no one in the commoner ranks gets a good grade!"

"This is not a reason. What the court wants to see is evidence." Xue Bai said loudly: "My teacher Yan Gong is a captain of Chang'an County. Now we have found evidence of the palace scandal. I will present it to the Yushitai today. Please follow me.

When I go there, I can see the court’s process of finding out the truth and ask for a re-examination in a dignified manner!”

It was his first time to preside over this matter in public, but he gave a solution as soon as he opened his mouth.

A little less passionate and a little more calm.

For all the athletes, after many days of turmoil, they finally saw the dawn of victory and cheered with excitement.

"Did you hear the rest? There is evidence, retest! Retest!"

"The evidence has been found and a re-examination is in sight!"

"We don't have to cause trouble, we can just go to the Yushitai to see the results!"

"..."

Chunwei's five sons maintained order and led the disciples to the imperial city.

Along the way, they sang Du Fu's new poems.

Du Fu had already prepared many sentences for this poem, and originally planned to describe it later. After this incident, he was angry and wrote a long poem, named "Twenty-two Rhymes of the Sage".

"If a dandy doesn't starve to death, a scholar will miss his body if he has many academic titles."

"Sage, try to listen quietly. Bastard, please explain."

"..."

The poem is sonorous, full of people's indignation and dissatisfaction.

Many of them actually know that they will not be able to pass the exam at all. After all, there are only a few dozen places for the two to three thousand candidates. But they want to get the minimum respect for their hard work in studying.

Heading west from Wubenfang to the wide Zhuque Street, countless Chang'an people gathered to watch.
