This day is really cold and surprisingly cold, as if the white gas that is spit out can instantly click and click off the ice ballast, and braziers are lit everywhere in the Gongyuan, and this is the first time in this dynasty to start the exam in winter, saving the epidemic that needs to be prevented in the spring and autumn exams, but there is such a problem as heating. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two examiners in charge of the main examination, one is Yang Gongzhu, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Shichang, seeing that the examination is imminent, Yang Gongzhu and Xu Shichang came to the Gongyuan in the morning, first went to the examination officer's room, and then inspected all parts of the Gongyuan, the scientific examination is a necessary channel for the imperial court to select talents, sloppy, to live up to the grace of the king, worthy of the scholars, and worthy of the heart.

Yang Gongzhu is about forty years old, thin and short, with triangular eyes full of scheming, he walked and sighed: "If it weren't for Lu Shangshu's illness, where would Xiaguan have the opportunity to take the exam with Lord Xu, so last night Xiaguan burned incense and worshiped Buddha, thanking the kindness of heaven and earth." ”

Captain Xu was upright and loyal, and laughed at Yang Gongzhu's flattery.

Yang Gongzhu also knows Captain Xu, and knows that the more steamed and boiled copper peas are like this, once he is impressed, the easier it is to have deep feelings, so he continued to pat his beard: "Xiaguan has admired adults for many years, but it is difficult to see each other because of being in the two departments, this is a great opportunity, it is better to let Xiaguan go back to the host and invite the adults to have a cup of turbid wine." ”

Captain Xu pointed to the front and said, "I haven't seen it yet, another day." ”

Don't give face, Yang Gongzhu's face was a little unbearable, and he smiled: "There is another reason why the lower official wants to invite adults to eat and drink, as soon as the New Year warms up, the third lady of the house and my nephew are going to have a big wedding, our relatives are not far away, it is rare to become the chief examiner together, and you can find a bowl of water and wine for the restaurant casually, this reason is not too much." ”

The third daughter's husband's family is surnamed Yang, but Sergeant Xu really didn't know that it was related to this Lord Yang, so he asked: "What, my in-laws are your brothers?" ”

Yang Gongzhu smiled: "This family, there are no five suits." ”

So that's the case, Captain Xu waved his hand: "Since I am a relative, I will be the host another day, but not now." ”

After speaking, he quickened his pace and left Yang Gongzhu behind.

"Phew, I don't know how to lift."

Yang Gongzhu scolded secretly at the back of Captain Xu, but he had no choice but to keep up, and when the inspection was completed, he left the tribute courtyard and went home, changed his home clothes, and then went out of the house again, beat the horse to the street, got off the horse at the door of a restaurant, and called the guy in the door to come out and lead his horse to the backyard livestock shed to feed, he entered the restaurant, and went to a private room on the second floor according to the set, and slowly drank tea and others.

After eating two cups of tea, the person he was waiting for was Bian Lianshun, the eunuch in charge of Qilan Palace, who hurriedly got up and gave his hand: "Father-in-law is hard. ”

Bian Lianshun gestured: "Adults be quiet, once people know that I am out of the palace, the head of the miscellaneous family will not be safe." ”

The palace rules are strict, and without special permission, eunuchs and palace maids are not allowed to leave the palace without permission.

Yang Gongzhu even said yes, the dignified servant of the ministry, the third-grade official, is so respectful to the eunuch next to a concubine, it is really embarrassing.

Bian didn't even take off the wind pocket, and hurriedly said: "Anxious, so let's make a long story short, Niang Niang asked, is everything done?" ”

Yang Gongzhu sighed: "That Captain Xu is really like a stone in a pit, I invited him in every possible way but refused to come out, and the Gongyuan is not a place to speak, please go back to Niangniang, I will try my best to persuade that Captain Xu." ”

Bian Lianshun snorted and sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, you are a smart person, Lu Shangshu is seriously ill, maybe he will return to the west with his legs, but Niangniang promised, and the position of the official department will be yours at that time." ”

Yang Gongzhu nodded: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Bian Lianshun waved his hand: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the miscellaneous family is gone." ”

Yang Gongzhu sent his hand to the door, and did not dare to go out, for fear of showing acquaintances that he was dealing with people in the palace, seeing Bian Lianshun step out of the threshold, he hurriedly closed the door, and then sat down to sort out his thoughts, was holding a teacup and concentrating, the door creaked open, he thought it was Bian Lianshun turned back, turned his head to look, it was a handsome descendant, the latter was still a boy and girl, white as snow, slender body, look at him with a smile, the country and the city.

"Your Excellency is in the wrong place, right?"

The latter sat down opposite him uninvited, lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea, opened his mouth lightly, dipped the tea, and said lightly: "I didn't go wrong, we don't know each other, but I came here to tell Lord Yang a few stories." ”

Yang Gongzhu is an old fox, and he feels that this future life will not be followed by himself, just to tell a story to himself, so he said: "Why don't you show the true face of Lushan." ”

The latter shook his head: "No, I'm afraid that I will scare you to death by telling who I am." ”

Yang Gongzhu chuckled in his heart, could it be that he was in the palace?

Later in the life, he had already spoken: "In the spring of the seventeenth year of Longde, the emperor was furious because the examiner accepted bribes, and ordered the chief examiner and the candidate who offered bribes to be executed, confiscated the family property, and returned relatives, parents, brothers, wives, children, and even clansmen to the land of smoke and miasma. ”

Yang Gong Zhu Yan didn't know this history, and suddenly understood the purpose of this descendant who came to find him, probably, who he promised to stab out of Yi Concubine Niangniang, but he didn't seem to have told anyone.

The latter continued: "In the fifth year of Jiatai, a certain person was poor and had no money to honor the examiner, so he won the first place and finally fell to Sun Shan, the man was sad and angry, and wrote a complaint to sue him, and did not want the emperor to know about it, so the emperor personally proposed to test him alone, and he shocked the emperor with a "On the King's Road", and gave the champion on the spot, and then, the emperor issued a holy decree and cut off the head of the examiner of the year, clicking ......"

The later life used his hand as a knife, and gestured towards Yang Gongzhu, accompanied by onomatopoeia.

Yang Gongzhu suddenly had a yin wind on the back of his neck, and pretended to be calm: "It's true that this official is the chief examiner of Enke this time, but it is very boring for Your Excellency to come to tell this official about this nonsense, Your Excellency should go back." ”

The latter smiled slightly, got up, said goodbye, and continued to speak: "In the third year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, the son and nephew of a certain Niangniang participated in the Autumn Festival, and the Niangniang and the examiner taught and received it privately, and later, her nephew failed to be admitted to the Jinshi, because the emperor learned about it, put the Niangniang into the cold palace, and put the main examination in prison. ”

When he said this, the descendant had already walked to the door, looked back at Yang Gong Zhu Yanran and smiled: "Good luck to my lord." ”

After saying that, he went out of the door and went downstairs and out of the door of the restaurant, but unexpectedly met the public who came to find Yang Gongzhu at the door.

Gong Tuo was stunned: "Why are you here?" ”

The latter smiled, the laughter stopped abruptly, and said with a cold face: "Who are you?" ”

After saying that, he walked away.

Gong Yi Tuo was stunned, and suddenly laughed: "Little fox, you have robbed the front." (To be continued.) )
