This fat and bloated man was the chief examiner Dong Jianguo in previous years, and that year, there was a scholar named Li Xiuwen among the people who took the exam. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The so-called fellow saw the fellow with tears in his eyes, and it was the chief examiner who inadvertently read Li Xiuwen's information, and then found that the two were still fellow villagers.

Dong Jianguo immediately sent someone to call Li Xiuwen, first asked some trivial things in his hometown, and then some poems and songs, under this question, he was really shocked, he had been hit by Li Xiuwen's profound literary background, and he didn't expect that his remote and barren small village could come out of such a talent.

If, between two young people with equal abilities and no world of difference in strength, appear in front of you, the only difference between them is only a trivial source, one is your fellow countryman, and the other is a stranger in a foreign country, as you, which one will you promote?

Dong Jianguo gave the answer, and left Li Xiuwen to eat at his residence that day, and his purpose was naturally Sima Zhao's heart, which was known to passers-by.

As the two chatted more and more, Dong Jianguo found that this Li Xiuwen was amazingly talented, it can be said that he was rich and rich, and no matter what you say, he can basically respond to it, know astronomy, know geography, and nothing more.

While feeling worthy and fortunate for such a baby in his heart, he also discovered the common problem of a scholar, not that this Li Xiuwen is pedantic and wooden, on the contrary, he is quick to think and react quickly, so what is the problem?

Young people, with some skills, are naturally a little arrogant and arrogant, and this is undoubtedly revealed in Li Xiuwen.

Dong Jianguo knew Li Xiuwen's ability, and naturally expected that this person's character was destined to offend many people, so he kept some distance at the right time.

A few days later, it was the date of the opening of the list, and I saw that this Li Xiuwen was at the top of the list, the champion and the first.

The scenery is the same for a while, which has attracted the jealousy and attention of some people.

The open gun is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, it is better to offend the gentleman than to provoke the villain, originally Li Xiuwen, as the first place this time, also needs to be honed from the bottom, and then come up, of course, the speed of this promotion is like an arrow off the string.

But I don't know which despicable villain said that Li Xiuwen personally visited the examiner the day before the exam, saying that his first place was not worthy of his name, and at this time, it was full of storms.

Long Yanran heard about this in the court, and immediately announced that Li Xiuwen had entered the palace and wanted to try him in person.

The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time. With the passage of time, this Li Xiuwen's temperament began to slowly reveal, at the beginning he only offended a few small officials, but later he directly called Shao Cong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and under the eyes of everyone in the early dynasty, the style of the criminal department was slack, the officials were derelict in their duties, and the subordinates were full of private pockets, and a lot of rules and regulations were listed, which once again set off a storm.

Just when everyone speculated that either the officials of the Criminal Department were dismissed from their posts or Li Xiuwen was deposed, this Long Yanran directly rewarded Li Xiuwen with the folding fan of the first emperor, not to mention anything else, only to reward him for his direct advice and suggestions.

No punishment but reward, this will undoubtedly make many people unconvinced, this Long Yanran is also domineering, maybe it has something to do with the fact that she was also the new emperor ascending the throne at that time, and she urgently needed to establish power, just to say, according to Li Shilang's suggestion, it will be implemented for three months first, and then decide whether to continue to use it in the future, and as a result, the uncompetitive criminal department was really reborn.

Since that time, it may be that Li Xiuwen has also realized something, and his words and deeds have been much more restrained.

Dong Jianguo said that he had no intention, but Shao Cong was interested in hearing it, and when he heard the other party mention the reform of the Criminal Department, he was really a little embarrassed, and his old face was red.

In this way, in addition to his mouth, this Li Xiuwen is a talent. Lin Yan frowned slightly, such a baby bump, it must be strangled in the cradle, no, no, no, it should be wiped out in the sea of people.

"He's a rare talent. Dong Jianguo's words didn't seem to have any grudges, but he valued this person a little, and the other people present nodded noncommittally on this point, "He is also a filial son." ”

Isn't that just filial piety, hehehe, that's easy.

Lin Yan instantly came to his senses, sitting upright, his body straight, "Oh, what kind of filial piety?"

"He..." Before he finished speaking, Dong Jianguo "plopped" on the table, and snored after a while.

When several other officials saw this scene, they all burst into laughter, but how could they be any better, they were also blushing and thick-necked, and they looked drunk.

Shao Cong shook his head and met Lin Yan's gaze, so he took over the conversation, "Li Xiuwen is the only son in the family, his parents are farmers, and the family lives in poverty. But this Li Xiuwen has few ambitions and talents, and every family in the village has been patronized by him. In the end, with the fundraising of the whole village, this was enough for him to get on the road. ”

Although what he said was a bit anticlimactic, this remark was already very clear.

After drinking wine, his throat was very dry, Shao Cong took the cup and drank saliva, "Ah, cough, cough...", but he forgot which tea was in this cup, it was clearly wine.

As a result, Li Xiuwen lived up to expectations, the title of the gold list, and the young people are really good, thinking about the source when they drink water, and do not forget their roots. Paved the way for building bridges and opening up barren mountains in his hometown, and almost all of his monthly salary was sent to his parents. Shao Cong said and said, quite emotional, and he was someone else's child.

In this way, Li Xiuwen is not filial, and he doesn't take his parents to his side. Lin Yan began to pour cold water.

Although not only does he have no real interests with himself, but on the contrary, to some extent, everyone is still a political enemy, but Shao Cong always feels that he should say something.

"That's not it, Li Xiuwen renovated his parents' house in the countryside, and he will go back every time he has a holiday or is free. ”

"yes, that's pretty good. Lin Yan said, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, but he only remembered two words in his heart, countryside.

Looking at the harmless smile on the other party's face, Shao Cong didn't know why, he always felt a little bad in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.

The meal lasted for several hours before it was over, and several people returned to their residences with disordered steps.

Shao Cong looked at the back of Lin Yan riding away, and finally turned around and walked into the sedan chair and left.

As soon as Lin Yan entered the mansion, he summoned an attendant and whispered to him, "You go and investigate the situation of Li Shilang and Li Xiuwen's parents in the countryside." ”

The attendant received the order and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute. Lin Yan suddenly thought of something, "This matter must not be known to a third party, otherwise..."

"Yes, yes, I understand. The attendant was also a smart man, and immediately said that he would not leak the news.

Lin Yan looked at the figure of the attendant walking out, and a smile of conspiracy appeared on the corner of his mouth.
