Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Tragedy Caused by a Pot of Bean Flower Fish (3)
The students who were drinking and feasting in this restaurant tonight were actually not considered poor, but compared to the people in the opposite room, they looked shabby, and they had already hid before the order to arrest Jingzhao Mansion was issued, but because of this, their current situation was very embarrassing.
Chen Xilie went to Jingzhao Mansion to suppress people and rescue them, but Jingzhao Mansion's arrest order for these troublesome students has still not been revoked, although Luo Xizheng is no longer ready to work on the scholars, but with the identity of "suspects", these people have also lost the opportunity to enter the house.
At least, the cultural meeting held at Xu Fanfu tonight...... They can't go!
There has always been such a thing as a scroll, but there are not many who can do Xu Fan's "blatant", not that there are few similar literary meetings, but on the eve of the scientific examination, as the prime minister, he invited students from all over Chang'an...... It's too high-profile after all!
If it weren't for a step slower, Xu Fan wouldn't have made this decision.
But in any case, this is obviously an excellent opportunity for the students who are now staying in Chang'an.
The shallow ones only saw the identity of the prime minister, but the more profound ones had some understanding of the current situation, and they also knew that this literary meeting in Xu Fan's mansion was not just as simple as letting the students leave an eye in front of the powerful.
It is precisely because they know so much that when those pure mud legs and nerds can enter the hall and exalt the text at this moment, these elites will be even more depressed.
Why!
Just when these elites could only drink alcohol, those nerds who were looked down upon by them were wandering in the deep mansion of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The so-called literary meeting is about meeting friends with literature, of course, it can't be as serious as the examination room, it's basically just a reason for drinking and feasting, and even the poems themselves are also a kind of fun.
The literary meeting that began in the evening has also produced a lot of works to the present, and the students have the intention of going to Beijing to rush to take the exam, and some poems and essays that have been prepared for the occasion for a long time, but at this moment they are only slightly polished, at most they have changed their appearance.
Coupled with Chen Xilie's strength in Jingzhao Mansion today and Xu Chen's subsequent "propaganda", in addition to the students who were arrested yesterday, the rest of the students who did not participate in the disturbance but fell into uncertainty about the future due to the turmoil of the situation were also overjoyed and happily attended the banquet.
Nearly half of the students who came to Chang'an to take the exam this year gathered in Xu Fanfu, and regardless of whether there are masterpieces handed down, this momentum alone is unique.
"Zhiyuan, are people ...... Facing the concern of his friends, Xu Fan smiled and said: "Do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, and now that I am in the limelight, I must make some mistakes!"
The friend thought about it, nodded slightly, and sighed lightly: "It's better to go back to the officialdom!"
Xu Fan just smiled: "Someone has to do things!"
"Forget it, don't mention this!" the man smiled, pointed to the lively scene in the hall, and asked, "Do you have a talent you like?"
"It's a pity that Zhiyuan has no daughters under your knees, otherwise you can make a good story by choosing a good son-in-law!"
"Zhong Yuan, it's lonely!" On the left side of Xu Fan, a broad-faced man ended the conversation with the person on the left, leaned over to this side, and said to the person before him with a smile: "You just returned to Chang'an, and you don't know if you think about it, Brother Zhiyuan has accepted a few disciples, the kind that can pass on the mantle, that is the real talent!"
"Oh, really?" The white eyebrows of the man before rose slightly, looked at Xu Fan, and asked: "What kind of talent can enter your eyes, the young people who want to enter your door over the years are not a hundred but eighty, right?"
"Those boys......" Thinking of his own disciples, Xu Fan was a little helpless, so he had to shake his head and smile: "No one is worry-free!"
"I'd love to see them for you to say that!"
"Well, there's one here, the one who drinks at the door!"
……
Lu Hao didn't have much enthusiasm for this kind of thing, and he participated with his father a few times when he was young, but he was still young, just having fun.
Later, there were more things, and there were fewer intersections with scholars, and Lu Hao really didn't participate in this kind of exchange that readers of the same age often had.
Looking at the comings and goings of these people in front of him who were gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact they were secretly witty, Lu Hao suddenly laughed.
"Brother Lu has thought of some wonderful verses, how can you hide in this person and snicker?" Ruan Wenhao walked over, holding a glass of wine in his hand.
Lu Hao looked up at him and said with a smile: "I'm not good at poetry, I just thought of some interesting things." ”
"Oh, I don't know what the interesting thing is, can you tell me and share it?" asked Ruan Wenhao casually.
"Uh...... It's all a little young, don't mention it!" Lu Hao shook his head slightly.
Ruan Wenhao didn't know Lu Hao's past, but he also saw the loneliness on his face, so he didn't ask again.
At this time, a subordinate of the Prime Minister's Mansion came over and leaned over to whisper a few words to Lu Hao.
Lu Hao immediately smiled and said to Ruan Wenhao: "I'm sorry, the teacher called me over, and I lost my company first!"
"It's okay!" Ruan Van Hao smiled and nodded.
"The student has seen the teacher!" Lu Hao walked over, meeting the scrutinizing gaze of Xu Fan's old friend, smiling and calm.
"Look, this is the most decent one in this group of boys!" Xu Fan stretched out his finger and deliberately kept a straight face, but the smile between his eyebrows couldn't be hidden.
Lu Hao was born in a family, although his father broke off contact with the family very early, but the grace in his bones was still inherited to Lu Hao, and he was also cultivated according to the methods of the children of the family since he was a child.
Although it is limited to the conditions, I haven't seen any big scenes when I was young, and I am less noble than the children of the family, but the people and things I have come into contact with in the past two years, suffering, opportunities, etc., after some tempering, the calmness on my body is much higher than that of the children of the same age.
Xu Fan's group of friends are all old and spicy, and under so many scrutinizing eyes, Lu Hao's calmness made them nod secretly.
is to change Xu Chen over, although it can also be done as if no one is around, but it is inevitable that there is a hint of deliberateness. After all, for Xu Chen, he doesn't care about anyone except the people he cares about, and these scrutinizing eyes will naturally be blocked by him, and they will be classified as cats and dogs on the side of the road.
Speaking of which, it's a bit of a nobody's sight.
This is also a matter of no choice, it is said that three generations can not produce a real nobleman, after all, the Lu family has been inherited for many years, and even if Xu Chen has more than a thousand years of knowledge under the precipitation of the years, it cannot make up for this temperament in the depths of the bloodline.
"Not bad!"
"Zhiyuan, this ...... It's not like a poor kid!"
"It doesn't matter if he's from a poor family or a family, do you still want to rely on a meeting gift when you meet your juniors?"
As he spoke, he stood up, and the broad-faced man pulled down the jade pendant on his waist and stuffed it into Lu Hao's hand, and slapped Lu Hao's shoulder like a fan...... The body is so strong!"
I couldn't help but shoot two more times.
"Stop!" The old man with white eyebrows trembled with anger, and regardless of the remarks of the children of the Han family, he walked over quickly, pushed the man with an open face, and said angrily: "It's not light or heavy!
"Haha! What are you worried about!" The broad-faced man smiled: "People are good men who have come down from the battlefield, what are these slaps!"
"Oh?" the old man looked at Lu Hao and turned his head to look at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan pretended to be angry and said: "A few stinky boys don't know the height of the sky, so they have to follow Wang Dashuai to quell the rebellion, but fortunately, the whole beard and the tail are back." ”
"It's rare!"
Both civil and military affairs have always been something to boast about, even in the era of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, literati who understand martial arts and know military affairs are also worthy of showing off.
"Uncle doesn't have anything of value here, just a set of pens that have been used for some years, and someone will send it to you when I go back!"
"Forehead......" Lu Hao looked at the kind old man, and stopped talking: "Actually, we ......"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Fan glared at him fiercely: "Shut up!
"Hey......
Lu Hao had no choice but to smirk, thinking that since it was a set of pens, it would be enough for everyone to use it together, but this jade pendant was ...... You can't make five parts, can you?
What a hassle!
When he was struggling, in the corridor outside the door, a subordinate was leading a man and a woman to gradually come.
"Huh, isn't that Jianzhong, when did he come to Chang'an?"
When the two entered the house, the middle-aged man clasped his fists in the first place, stepped forward quickly, and greeted with a smile: "Don't come to harm!"
"Jianzhong, I remember that you were not an official in the south, did you come to Chang'an to report on your work?" the old man looked at this person suspiciously.
"Brother Zhongyuan, it's been a long time!" the middle-aged man said with a smile: "The younger brother left Yuanzhou last year, and now he is the doctor of Zuo. ”
"Oh, that's really high!" said the old man, slightly startled, and said with a smile.
Naturally, it is Gao Sheng, Yuanzhou is considered Zhongzhou, the history of the assassin is under the fourth grade, and the doctor of Zuo Advice is also under the fourth grade, but this transfer is not just as simple as going from the local to the central.
The position of the doctor was in the Qin Dynasty, and in the Tianbao period, the doctor was divided into left and right, belonging to the door and the middle book, and was the third person in addition to the lords and officials of the two provinces.
The chief officials of the two provinces of Menxia and Zhongshu were respectively led by the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, that is, Chen Xilie, the left minister, led the Menxia Province, and the right minister, Li Linfu, led the Zhongshu Province, and each of the two provinces had an adjutant in charge of specific affairs.
Below this is the left and right counselors, in addition to the higher official positions, the power in the hands is greater!
To put it bluntly, the emperor put the two nails under the left and right servants, specifically to find fault and pick thorns, and specifically pick the prime minister's thorns!
In fact, speaking of which, Xu Fan, the third-ranked prime minister, has a specific position within the three provinces is only Shang Shucheng, a subordinate of the left and right servants, and he is on the fourth grade, but the actual power is obviously not counted like this.
Let's talk about the grade first, Xu Fan's reward from Xuanzong is the same as the left and right, and he is also the leader of the Yushitai, and he is in the political hall.
This kind of thing is similar to the cabinet of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later generations, and it is an institution derived from the unified exercise of central power.
There are too many chief officials, second officials and their respective subordinate officials of the three provinces, and the six departments specifically responsible for central affairs are hung under the Shangshu Province, because Li Shimin once did the Shangshu Order, and then the Tang Dynasty rarely gave the post of Shangshu Ling, all of which were in charge of the left and right servants, known as the left and right ministers.
In order to restrain Shangshu Province, the successive dynasties have appeared in Zhongshu and Menxia Province, and the initial functions and powers are also divided, one is in charge of drafting the edict, and the other is in charge of reviewing the edict and stamping it on it, and then handed over to Shangshu Province for specific implementation.
But the more power there is, the better, and these people have encroached on the power of the other two provinces in order to seize power.
Not only do you have to write it yourself, but you also have to read it yourself, stamp it yourself, and even want to do it yourself!
In this way, it is almost completely messed up.
Therefore, the political hall appeared, except for the left and right phases, anyone who entered the political hall was regarded as the prime minister, and the name of "Pingzhangshi under the door of the same book" was the same as the prime minister.
Although the specific position in the three provinces is very low, and he does not even hold a position in the three provinces, as long as he enters the political hall and wins the favor of the emperor, the power in his hands can even exceed that of the left and right ministers.
That is, the prime ministers were changed from checking and balancing each other and being responsible for each other to being responsible for the emperor and the emperor himself, and unified the central power in the hands of the emperor himself in one fell swoop, which undoubtedly consolidated the imperial power.
Xu Fan was originally enabled by Li Longji in order to check and balance Li Linfu, although his position in the three provinces is low, but it is just a name, and the real power comes from his position in Li Longji's heart.
But the middle-aged man surnamed Liang Jianzhong in front of him is not just a doctor of Zuo Yi.
There are many assassins in the world, but there are only two doctors, and they are specially selected for the prime minister and are directly responsible to the emperor himself, how can the emperor appoint a newcomer who has no impression in such a position.
Almost half a year later, Liang Jianzhong was transferred from Yuanzhou Assassin Shi to Zuo Counselor, obviously the person who played a role in this and enhanced the impression of this person in the emperor's heart was not Xu Fan, although Xu Fan and Liang Jianzhong can also be regarded as old friends.
However, Liang Jianzhong's backstage is not Xu Fan!
And the doctor of Zuo Counsel corresponds to Chen Xilie, the left minister, that is, the person who picks Chen Xilie's thorn and does not deal with Chen Xilie.
Liang Jianzhong's backstage is naturally about to come out!
"Do you want this?" After thinking about this, Lu Hao, who was standing aside, had a bitter face: "Damn the third child! I haven't figured out such important information......
Looking at the slowly coming figure behind Liang Jianzhong, Lu Hao had a whim: "Why don't you try a poem from the eldest brother?"
"But...... No one has ever seen me! What if I don't agree? If I refuse, how can I come to the door with my face in the future!"
The love saint Lu Hao looked at the shadow that he thought about day and night, and fell into a deep entanglement at this moment.
At the same time, Xu Chen was handing a cup of milk to the girl opposite.
"In fact, eating bread is the most spicy!"
"What is bread?"
Behind the two, the people who ran out of the restaurant opposite were picking up a pot of bean curd fish made by the store and hurried back.
