In the Hu Mansion, Hu Fashun was pacing anxiously, he couldn't understand what his father was doing now.

Just a month ago, Hu Xueling returned home and told Hu Fashun about her experience in Kunlun Mountain. Hu Fashun was naturally angry, he wanted to go to Guifu to question, and even made trouble in the court, but he was stopped by Hu Dan.

And now, Hu Dan told him that he didn't have to go to Shangshu Province to be on duty tomorrow, and he would take turns with Gui Yihu and Ouyang Xuan in the future. He is even more confused, isn't this a clear show that he has been cut off by others?

"Dad, I don't understand, you ...... Are you old and confused?" he was so angry that he didn't know where to put his hands. "You actually agreed, and took the initiative to propose a timetable?"

"Isn't this here to come back to see my grandson? Besides, if I watch closely, Xue Ling will still run to Kunlun Mountain without saying a word? "Why are they all subsets of scripture and history or something? Why is my "The Great Biography of Xihe" gone?"

Hu Fashun came to the bookshelf, took out the book, and handed it to him with both hands.

Hu Dan took the book and laughed out loud when he saw Hu Fashun's unconvinced look. He sat down at his desk and said as he read a book, "Son, I know you are competitive, but there are some things that you can't fight. Don't underestimate our majesty, you will not be able to match it in your life. ”

"Shangshu Province is not our Hu family, your father and I always occupy space there, and it is inevitable that the tree will make a big move. The Gui family, the Ouyang family, who doesn't want to see our jokes? What's more, they won't be able to jump for long. ”

Hu Fashun was not convinced, but as soon as he heard Hu Dan finish speaking, he felt that his mouth was suddenly opened. But he still had doubts, and asked in a deep voice: "Dad, why do you say that the Gui family and the Ouyang family can't be up for a few days?"

Hu Dan raised his head and looked at Hu Fashun with deep meaning: "The entrance exam for Chengyun Pavilion will start in a few days, you can take a good look and see how they play themselves to death." ”

"Okay, according to what my father said, they will play themselves to death, but I still can't swallow this breath, the third sister's revenge, I have to avenge whatever I say!" Hu Fashun said with wide eyes.

"Don't worry, if we want to play in the court for a long time, we have to obey the rules. Hu Dan continued to read the novel and said softly. "I will use a method that conforms to the rules to avenge Xue Ling!"

In a small inn in the capital, Shi Yuanji was in the room, sitting on the red jade Sumeru seat, cultivating luck.

In the battle with the corpse demon Liu Fenghua, he used this Sumeru seat to attract a fire cloud that covered the sky and the sun, and only then did he discover the magic of this Sumeru.

"This Sumeru seat is worthy of being a relic of the gods, and it has greatly increased my cultivation speed. Shi Yuanji opened his bright eyes and took the Sumeru seat back into the seed bag. "At the current cultivation speed, in less than two years, I will be able to break through again and reach the realm of Bigu. ”

"Yuan Qi is harmonious, heaven and man are one, and God is full of energy, which is regarded as Bigu. But when that time comes, since I don't know hunger, won't my only hobby, eating, be cut off?

Just as Shi Yuanji was hesitating whether to continue his cultivation, there was a knock at the door. Shi Yuanji looked at the door and saw that Jiang Renyun was outside the door.

"I thought you weren't awake? Today is the day to sign up, hurry up. ”

Shi Yuanji didn't say a word, copied the text explanation given by Zhang Donglou and his own temple blessing, and rushed to the Ministry of Rites with Jiang Renyun.

Along the way, it was bustling with vendors setting up stalls and shops of all sizes decorating with lights to seize this rare business opportunity.

Shi Yuanji had never seen such a lively scene? The dazzling array of goods and colorful pedestrians, he looked around and was almost stunned. After a short walk, they saw the towering palace wall standing tall, and the Ministry of Rites was located next to the East Palace.

"This is the Imperial Palace?" The three-foot-and-five-foot-high palace wall stood tall, and Shi Yuanji was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a tall wall. "The emperor lives on such a high place, how far does this have to go if he wants to come out for a meal?"

"You are stupid, the emperor used it to come out to eat? Jiang Renyun looked at his appearance of never seeing the world, and finally determined that he was a poor person like himself. "Let's go, come back and see again!"

"What did you say the emperor ate in the palace?"

"Needless to say, the best tenderloin, with bean paste, and the best flour to make noodles, eat this. Jiang Renyun said with an oath.

"Fried sauce pork noodles?" Shi Yuanji said suspiciously. "Are you sure?"

"Of course, my grandfather told me!" Jiang Renyun said firmly.

There was really a crowd of people in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and candidates from all over the world came to sign up. Gui Yihu, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, sits in the first seat and presides over the operation of the registration process.

He was in a good mood. He is the imperial historian and is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the Taichang of the Chengyun Pavilion is naturally under his jurisdiction. His Majesty's request for him to be in charge of the admission of Chengyun Pavilion is a great trust and a matter of duty. But now, Hu Dan actually sat next to him, which made him feel very uneasy.

"Prime Minister, aren't you Xiu Mu today?" Gui Yihu finally mustered up the courage to speak. "I have adhered to the process of entering the Shangshu Province here, everything is in accordance with the rules, you don't have to worry. ”

Hu Dan drank tea, smiled and said, "I can't be idle, and I feel uncomfortable staying at home." Just come here to take a look, after all, the admission of Chengyun Hall is a big deal. ”

Could it be that this related household surnamed Hu wants to enroll, then I will simply be a favor, Gui Yihu thought.

He said: "It's a good thing to have you in town, and I'm a lot more relieved." The list of people who signed up will come out in a moment, and you can be a witness. When he said the word witness, Gui Yihu specially accentuated his tone.

"Well said. Hu Dan fell into memory and muttered. "This year's students are very young, and I remember that when we were in school before, there were still old people in the school. ”

Gui Yihu looked at Hu Dan with a kind look, and his heart became more and more uneasy. Doesn't Hu Dan care about his daughter's reputation or his own face?

He simply followed Hu Dan's train of thought to see what Hu Dan wanted to do: "Yes, it is said that we enrolled in the same year and graduated in the same year." When I was in school, I was inseparable, and that was called intimacy. Now one is the prime minister, and the other is the imperial history, but they are rusty. ”

"Things are people, and people's minds change. Hu Dan looked at the bustling crowd at the door and was full of emotion. "Yihu, over the years, many of the people you recommended have been rejected by me, do you know why?"

It's not because you want to monopolize power, Gui Yihu was slandered, and he still had a smile on his face: "Are you the prime minister, you have to act impartially." Most of the people I recommend have problems, I know that. I Guiyihu don't know anyone, and I can't complain about others. ”

Hu Dan turned around and said faintly: "Actually, I am the same in this regard. In the past few years, how many students under my own name have been competing? Zhang Donglou, who is the most competitive, is also standing still, and has no decent political achievements. Fortunately, among my students, there are no corrupt, traitorous, disloyal and unfilial people, and they are lucky. ”

"Those children of the Eight Pillars National Clan are becoming more and more unrepresentable, but it is easy for them to enter the Chengyun Pavilion. In the past ten years, the students of Chengyun Pavilion have become more and more unsuccessful, and it is precisely because these noble children are full of them! His Majesty has been vigorously using the children of the poor family in order to change this status quo. If we are courtiers, we must be selected by merit. ”

After saying this, Gui Yihu couldn't help but be surprised in his heart. Hu Dan was thinking about national affairs from beginning to end, and he himself was thinking about fighting for power and profit, which was really incredible.

Gui Yihu stood up and said respectfully: "What the prime minister taught me is that I will definitely recruit students impartially and select talents. ”

Hu Dan nodded, stood up and saluted back: "It's good that Gui Yushi knows, I'm really old, and the affairs of the court will depend on you in the future." ”

"I'll go outside and have a look. Hu Dan said.

Watching Hu Dan walk out of the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Gui Yihu was in awe and blamed himself. What I am in awe of is Hu Dan's broad weight, and what I blame myself is that I am in awe of him until now.

"When I was in school, I was not as good as you, and when I was an official, I was not as promoted as you as fast. Now that I'm old and have lost in the pattern, am I really not as good as you?" said Gui Yihuxin.
