240 Take the credit for yourself
In the second year of Jingde, the emperor ordered Wang Qinruo, Yang Yi, Sun Zheng and other eighteen people to compile and revise the deeds of the monarchs and ministers of the past dynasties. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Eight years later, in August of the sixth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, a thousand volumes of the deeds of the monarch and ministers were written. From antiquity to the five dynasties of the compilation of the door, a total of 31, 1,100 and 4 doors, the emperor Zhao Heng as a preface, the title of "Shufu Yuan Turtle".
In the process of revising the "Yuan Turtle of the Book of Books", each part of the completion must be reported to the emperor, if the emperor praises and praises, Wang Qinruo will put his name first in this part and thank the emperor; if there is a problem with the content of the report and is questioned by the emperor, Wang Qinruo will shirk his responsibility and tell the scribe to say that it was caused by the mistakes of Yang Yi and others.
The so-called credit is taken for oneself and the blame is attributed to others.
After the book was written, Wang Xinruo's praise was collected in one, and the emperor gave dozens of acres of fertile land, ten buckets of pearls, and dozens of brocades.
One day in mid-August, the sky was high and crisp, and Xu Gu Cheng took a break and taught Xu Promise to learn words in the study.
While the two were resting, the butler handed in an invitation.
Xu Gucheng took it with one hand, opened the invitation, and frowned after only looking at one line.
Wang Xinruo held a banquet at the end of August and invited him to appreciate chrysanthemums and poems.
He had just read the invitation and was thinking about it when he saw Lu coming over in a hurry.
Lu Shi saw Xu Gucheng holding an invitation engraved with chrysanthemum patterns in his hand, stopped by the door, and asked, "The master has also received an invitation from the envoy's mansion?"
Xu Gucheng threw the invitation in his hand onto the bookcase, stood up and helped Lu into the room, nodded slightly, and said, "Exactly." ”
Xu promised to see that his parents had something to say, and wanted to get up and avoid it, but he was left behind by the Lu family: "Liuniang, it's okay to listen." ”
After listening to it, he promised to understand that Wang Xin was taking advantage of the merit of editing and editing "Shufu Yuan Turtle" and taking advantage of the emperor's reward to gain contacts in the capital.
Although she had never seen Wang Xinruo at this time, she had crossed paths with his sons and daughters.
Wang Banniang has always followed behind the county lord of Jiaren, likes to show off, and is good at stepping on people whose identity is not as good as her. is so squeamish that no one can say it, but he is a competitive lord, but his IQ is too low, and he is always used by the county lord of Jiaren.
Wang Jiulang was accompanied by a group of fox friends and dog friends, taking the money he had embezzled and squandering in Bianjing, self-righteous and extremely lustful.
Raising such children, one can imagine what kind of virtue Wang Xinruo and his wife are.
He was the best at opportunism, and he knew how to cater to the emperor's will, as for blaming others and sowing discord are his usual methods.
She even suspected that the incident that Xiao Yuan encountered when he was young was also related to Wang Xinruo.
The Xu family and the Wang family did not have much intersection, and promised to even have a holiday with Wang Banniang, but the Wang family specially invited Xu Gucheng and the Lu family this time.
If you don't go to the banquet this time, you will completely cut off the opportunity to make friends with the Wang family.
Wang Xinruo's personality, Xu Gucheng is naturally extremely despised.
But after all, he is a secret envoy, and now he is gaining the favor of the emperor, if he offends him, Xu Gucheng's career will be blocked.
Xu Gucheng is not a simple and straightforward person, he is very flexible in officialdom, and he has a good grasp of advance and retreat, and he will not completely cut off the connection between the two because he is not used to Wang Xinruo's personality.
He looked at his wife and daughter and said, "Wanniang, I must attend this banquet, if you don't like the Wang family, don't go." There is still some time to go, but there is no urgency. On the contrary, Da Lang is going to take the test tomorrow, and I will tell him a few more words. ”
After finishing speaking, he got up and left, while Lu stayed in the study to accompany Xu Xu to learn calligraphy.
In addition to Xu Pingyi, there are also Ye Qingchen, the Song brothers, and Ji Xuan.
Fan Zhongyan, who studied with them at Yingtian Academy, did not apply for this year's exam.
Two days before the chrysanthemum feast, the laurel list has been announced.
Ye Qingchen won the Xie Yuan of Bianjing City, Song Qi was the Jingkui, and the rest of the people, although they were after the sixth, they were also on the list and became lifters.
Xie Yuan of other provincial capitals, everyone just said congratulations when they met, and they didn't pay too much attention to it.
Because even if you understand the yuan, you may also fall off the list in the spring.
Bianjing's Xie Yuan is very different.
Because the best students in the country come to study at Ying Tianfu Academy, and most of the students from Ying Tianfu College take the exam in Bianjing.
got Bianjing's Xie Yuan, and he was one step away from the champion.
The three words of Ye Qingchen spread all over Bianjing for a while, and the voice of praise could be heard everywhere.
Since he entered Beijing, he went to Yingtianfu Academy to study, even if he returned to Bianjing, he was closed to guests, this time he had to understand the yuan, and then turned people away, it would be arrogant.
Therefore, many invitations were received, and the feasts continued.
Naturally, he also had to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet organized by the secret envoy's mansion.
Xu Pingqi has been friends with Ye Qingchen since he was in Suzhou, and this time Ye Qingchen has to understand the yuan, he wanted to say congratulations, but he went to Ye's mansion several times and pounced. So he asked Xu Gucheng to take him with him when he went to enjoy the chrysanthemum banquet.
Xu Gucheng was surprised, this son has always liked to be quiet, and this time he took the initiative to go to a lively place?
On the day of the chrysanthemum feast, the weather was fine, and half of the magnates in Bianjing City went to the Wang family by car.
The streets outside Wang's house were jammed with horse-drawn carriages from all over the place.
promised to go to Wang's house, first accompanied the Lu family to greet Mrs. Wang, and then went directly to find Hu Ling and Lu Jiuniang.
After the three of them met, they found a pavilion to rest and enjoy chrysanthemums.
I haven't seen each other for a long time, Lu Jiuniang took the promised hand and kept talking, Hu Ling copied his hands on the side, with a disgusted expression on his face, but he listened to everything the two said.
While they were chatting, they saw a few people walking through the round gate, standing on the verandah, looking at the chrysanthemums in the garden, and talking happily.
Several people on the verandah, led by Ye Qingchen, had a strong bookish aura on their bodies, and they were obviously students from Yingtian Academy who participated in the examination this year.
Even in autumn, Ye Qingchen still exuded a breath like a spring breeze, and although he was tired on his face, he still greeted everyone politely.
He saw the promise and nodded lightly in her direction.
promised to respond with a smile, Ye Qingchen has been preparing for the exam since entering Beijing, and they may not have studied tea art for a long time.
Hu Ling stared at Ye Qingchen and said very firmly: "This year's lift, except for your eldest brother, Ye Qingchen's appearance is better, and the rest of the people really don't have to look at it." "She has always judged people by her appearance, and she is also very confident in her own aesthetics.
Lu Jiuniang disagreed, and said: "It's not bad for me to look at the Song family brothers." ”
"They just have a good bearing, if they really look at their faces, they still can't do it, even if it is Xu Dalang, they are far worse than Zhu Shang. When Hu Ling talked about Zhu Shang, he inadvertently revealed a girl's expression.
Seeing Hu Ling praising Zhu Shang, he promised and said: "Zhu Shang is already old, how can he compare to my eldest brother." ”
"The appearance is still better than Zhu Shang. Hu Ling retorted while taking the snacks on the stone table and eating them.
"Who did I say? Mr. Beijiang's name is also what you call casually?" Wang Banniang led a few ladies of her age into the pavilion.
Hu Ling turned his head, and as soon as he saw that it was Wang Banniang, he instantly pushed back: "No matter how kind you call him, then Mr. Beijiang doesn't recognize who you are!"
Wang Banniang glared and sneered: "It seems that you know him well." Some people say that he has been kicked out of the Hu Mansion three or four times these days, as if he is asking to marry the lady of your Hu family? I think it is mostly a rumor, how could a person of Mr. Beijiang's status ask to marry the lady of your Hu Mansion. ”
As soon as her words fell, the ladies who followed her in burst into laughter, obviously not believing that Zhu Shangshang was going to ask to marry a Jiangmen woman. (To be continued.) )
