"What the hell is going on?"

"Smack."

A cruel slap slapped on the young man's face, wearing a black official hat, wearing white clothes and satin, with a good face, going out, he will definitely kill a lot of beautiful girls, but such a person, but he was slapped hard, and he still didn't dare to resist.

Standing there with his head bowed and ashamed, his eyes were aggrieved, innocent tears were dripping, and he didn't dare to squeak, a woman stood beside him, seeing this scene, he couldn't bear it, and looked at the person who beat him worriedly, and wanted to dissuade him, but he was glared back by a vicious look from the man, unable to move forward, the man stared at the young man and said angrily: "Do you know how much silver I lost for this imperial examination, and this is the answer you gave me?" ”

"I ......."

"What are you, don't tell me you don't know, the answers to the test papers are all there, and you still haven't been lifted, do you want to be angry with me?"

The more the man scolded, the more vigorous the anger in his heart became, and sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder if the bastard in front of him was his own son, why was he so unbearable? Almost all of his students were hit, but he didn't get any of them, and all his high hopes and all his efforts were flowing down at the moment.

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, how many heroes have rolled.

There is a kind of sadness, there is a kind of loneliness, the young man is even more aggrieved, he wants to refute but he doesn't dare, he wants to tell, he can't, he can only endure his father's scolding, he can't talk about it, he only deeply resents the damn Zhang Da'an, why do you want to change the test questions, is this to destroy his rhythm?

"It's not that Zhang Da'an ......."

"What, what are you talking about, you son of a, say it again, it's your own fault, and it's about other people's Lord Zhang, tell me if you have any regrets, what's wrong with Lord Zhang? Did he bend the law for personal gain? Is he targeting you? You're mad at me. ”

The man clutched his chest, coughed incessantly, his face flushed with anger, and he retreated again and again, but the woman hurried up to dissuade him, and reassured the young man, "Why don't you hurry up and make amends to your father." ”

The young man remained motionless and lived there, which made the man even more angry, and shouted loudly: "Come on, put the young master in the firewood room for me, no one can let him out without my orders, and those who violate the law will serve the family law." ”

"Master, don't, Jun'er is still young, he doesn't understand, you dissipate your anger."

"Dad, I don't."

"Lock me up."

"Yes, sir."

A few big old and rough people came up and caught the young master, locked him in the firewood room, and let him cry and howl, as if he couldn't hear it, this scene is very familiar, because the same scene happened in Pei Yan Pei's mansion, but Pei Yan Pei was even more ruthless, and directly took out the rattan and pumped it on his son one at a time.

"Smack."

"Smack."

The blood dripped down, stained the clothes red, rendered the rattan, and even pierced Pei Yan's heart, hitting the son's body, hurting in the father's heart, every time he was beaten, it was like a stab in his heart, the pain could not be described in words.

"This time it's just a slight punishment, and next time, you go back to your hometown, Chang'an is not suitable for you."

After speaking, he threw down the heavy rattan that was stained with his son's blood, and left angrily, those frightened the family, the maid dared to step forward to help their young master, the back of the flesh and blood was blurred, the shape of the hole was like a hole, the heart was very painful, tears kept accumulating in the eyes, Mrs. Pei bent down, not daring to touch those wounds.

"Son, next time you have to be obedient, your father is serious, if you are like this next time, my mother will not be able to protect you."

The young man has never shed tears, and he can't hold back anymore at the moment, the tears are dripping and can't be stopped, all the pain, all the grievances, are vented at this moment, out of control.

"Child, mother's good child, why are you so bitter!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there is a mother."

When the two mothers and sons were hugging, a pair of eyes outside were watching this scene, looking trance-like, melancholy, sighing, and stepping away.

This day is a tragic day for many children of big families in Chang'an, because of Li Zhi's whim, no, it should be said that he has been planning for a long time, and suffered a punishment that he has never had, lying in bed dying, isolated from the world, and completely faded out of people's sight.

They faded out of sight, but the imperial examination was still held, especially the palace examination, which was the supreme honor, and the face-to-face meeting of His Majesty was something that many students dreamed of, and they realized it in this way. ‘

The next day, early in the morning, the top ten candidates were invited into the palace by the people of the Ministry of Rites, the people of the Ministry of Rites had already touched their details, knew where they lived, and before dawn, they went out to greet them, and the morning sunshine had not yet shone down, they had arrived at the gate of the palace, led by Zhang Da'an, and they quickly entered the palace.

Along the way, the candidates were extremely nervous, looking left and right, a few people were particularly calm, they didn't look at other places, and walked forward, they didn't seem to be interested here, but some were very curious, Zhang Daan smiled and nodded, didn't blame anything, human nature, the first time he came, he would always be shocked, he still remembered the first time he entered the palace, but he groped everywhere.

At that time, he was very embarrassed, and now he feels blushing when he thinks about it, and the candidates behind him see the adult blushing, and they keep guessing in their hearts, but they will never guess that the adult in front of him has made a fool of himself.

"Don't make a fuss, when you get inside, you have to hold back, Your Majesty doesn't like to move, you can divide it in peace, you know?"

The candidates behind him nodded, quickly regained their quiet, followed his footsteps in, and the group was led by the eunuch, and soon arrived in front of the hall, and several people saw Li Zhi, without saying a word, and knelt down directly with Zhang Da'an: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Tang Gaozong Li Zhi smiled and nodded, waved his hand, his movements were smooth, there was no sense of disobedience, there was no decades of hard work, they didn't want to reach this level, however, they couldn't see it, seeing Zhang Da'an standing up, they followed, they didn't know the rules, they didn't want to make a mess in front of His Majesty, leaving a bad impression.

"Your Majesty, the people have brought it."

"Yes."

Li Zhi gave a faint thanks, ringing in the ears of the candidates, undoubtedly majestic and imposing, not to be offended, his heart was suddenly full of respect, he didn't dare to raise his head, Li Zhi continued: "Which of you is Wang Bo?" ”

Wang Bo's body shook, his head buzzed, he didn't think that the first person to be called was himself, he was at a loss, anxiously looked around, Zhang Da'an frowned and urged him to go out, he sensed Zhang Da'an's gaze for a long time, walked out with a trembling body, and knelt down with a puff: "Caomin Wang Bo knocked to see Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi was even happier, his heart was satisfied, and the courtiers should be like this, trembling, with a little shyness in fear, and would not resist my order, he raised his hand and said, "Stand up, let me take a good look." ”

Wang Bo was even more frightened, Nuo Nuo stood up, raised his head, his face was like white jade, with three points of red, his eyes were sharp but not lacking fear, and his clothes showed his elegance even more.

"Wang Bo, right, you keep praising my empire in the exam papers, I don't know what you think of "the country's peace and security, internal and external troubles"? ”

Li Zhi squinted his eyes and stared at him, Wang Bo became even more nervous, his mouth opened several times, and then closed, the person above was His Majesty today, the most noble person in the world, was watching him at the moment, how could he not be nervous.

"Back to ...... Return...... Back to Your Majesty. ”

"Don't be nervous, I'm not the kind of beast that eats people."

Zhang Da'an couldn't help rolling his eyes, you are not a beast, you are a beast more fierce than a beast, you don't spit out bones when you eat people, and you are still eating people for three generations.

Wang Bo gritted his teeth and calmed down, and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is the greatest country in the world, the country is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, all of which are beautiful and happy pictures, this is Your Majesty's great cause. ”

One fell swoop to mention, which made Zhang Da'an very satisfied, it is exactly like this, this person seems to be the most suitable for my Ministry of Rites, Li Zhi's pupils shrank, and he smiled awkwardly: "Well, it's good." ”

"Who is Song Zhiwen?"

Ignoring Wang Bo directly, Wang Bo went back in disgrace, and after standing back, his mood calmed down, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, Your Majesty won't have any opinions on me, right? I'm all nice to say, don't I?

Song Zhiwen walked out, knelt down very slowly, and said, "Song Zhiwen, grass people, knock to see Your Majesty." ”

With Wang Bo's experience, Song Zhiwen was relatively stable, and Li Zhi nodded: "I don't know what you think of my sentence?" ”

With the same question and the same eyes, Song Zhi asked slowly: "The country is a big country, and the monarch is the master." ”

It's very simple, but it's actually patting the horses, they don't care about guessing His Majesty's thoughts, they can only pick nice words, Li Zhi waved his hand, and he was very bored in his heart, is it all like this?

"Who is Yang Jiong?"

After Song Zhi asked back, Yang Jiong walked out, straightened his attitude, straightened his body, knelt down for a set of etiquette, and Li Zhi spoke again: "What do you think of my words?" ”

It's still that question, there is no change, Zhang Da'an stood there, kept laughing, he was very satisfied with the answers of the first two, as long as you don't talk nonsense, it depends on your creation.

Yang Jiong's pupils shrank, and he kept calculating in his heart, considering the answers of the two just now, His Majesty's reaction seemed to be displeased, he looked up at Li Zhi, Li Zhi looked at him very eagerly, he moved his body, and said: "The grass people do not agree with this sentence, and the grass people think ......." ”
