In the Changkun Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Chengliang said to Lin Yan: "...... The one who spread rumors that his brother-in-law relies on nepotism is the kid surnamed Han. ”

The candidate who was brushed by Wang Yan in the palace examination was surnamed Han and Zhongyuan. Although he was also born in a scholarly family, he was not a big family, and there were some people in the clan who were local petty officials, but they were not high.

And this Han Zhongyuan has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, he can read and write at the age of three, and he can write poems at the age of six.

And this Han Zhongyuan does have some means, is good at making friends, and knows how to build momentum for himself. However, he does have some talent, so he is a little arrogant.

Four years ago, in the autumn festival held in his hometown of Yanzhou, he passed the examination to understand the Yuan, and his fame spread throughout Shandong.

After coming to the capital last year, he visited famous scholars everywhere, participated in some poetry competitions held by students, competitions and other activities, and won the first place again and again, and his reputation spread all over the capital for a while, and it began to be rumored that this Han Gongzi would be the champion of this session. Even Han Zhongyuan himself thought a little so.

As a result, after the results of Chunqiu came out, Han Zhongyuan only finished third. So this Han Gongzi changed his words and said that he just hoped to be in the top three.

As a result, after the palace test, the emperor ordered Wang Yan to explore the flowers, but this Han Gongzi became a legend.

Then this Han Gongzi was stimulated, ran to the restaurant to drink, and after getting drunk, he went crazy with alcohol, and called the imperial examination unfair, how could he Wang Yan get Tanhua, but he was lucky to give birth to the grandson of Shoufu, and married the queen's sister. A person like him, who has no power and no power, and has not taken a good wife, can only be suppressed, and he has been reading books full of books for more than ten years, no matter how talented he is, what is the use, he can't compare to others who can cast a good baby......

After that, Wang Yan relied on the tanhua in nepotism to spread everywhere.

Lin Chengliang said to Lin Yan: "If you want me to say, the surname Han is also a little small-minded, and he can't pass the test for others, so he will talk about his family background." He snorted coldly as he spoke, and said: "It seems that he is the only one who has studied hard for ten years, and our brother-in-law has also been hanging for more than ten years." He has the reputation of a prodigy, and Wang Yan is also rarely famous. It's just that Wang Yan doesn't love reputation as much as he does, and likes to go out and brag about himself. ”

Lin Yan thought about something else, and said to Lin Chengliang: "You use more snacks, go and check if Han Zhongyuan has been in contact with any special people recently, and then check where these rumors are spreading." ”

Lin Chengliang was a little puzzled, looked at Lin Yan, and asked, "Sister means ...... Someone deliberately made trouble. ”

Lin Yan said: "The rumors spread so quickly, someone must have pushed it." And you yourself said that Han Zhongyuan's family background is not obvious, and he has no foundation in the capital, he wants to spread this rumor, but he does not have the ability. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Han Zhongyuan is arrogant and arrogant, he looks down on other readers, and he likes to show his face and pinch his tip at various poetry competitions, many people must not like him. Do you think that everyone said that he must be the champion of this year, and they praised him? It was to lift him high and watch him fall to the ground. ”

Wen Wu is the first, he Han Zhongyuan is a little talented, but the scientific examination is changing rapidly, all kinds of accidents may occur, and the level of the articles of the top few people must be about the same, and it depends on whose style is more to the examiner's appetite. Until the last minute is revealed, whoever dares will definitely be able to win the championship.

Han Zhongyuan himself was also praised by others as a little floating, and he couldn't see other people's intentions clearly, or he could see it, but he didn't care.

So the rumors spread so quickly, Han Zhongyuan was just a fuse, and there were people behind him. I don't know if that Han Zhongyuan was also used, or if he conspired with the people behind him and had the same purpose.

Lin Chengliang was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Why didn't I think of this kind of thing." After thinking about it again, I felt extremely frightened, the person behind this wanted to destroy Wang Yanna at all.

This kind of thing is not clear at all, and there is no way to justify it. As long as you are a relative of the emperor, even if you have real talent and learning, you will be said to rely on nepotism.

And those who read books are the most sour, so it doesn't matter if you're real or not, listen to the fun, and then pretend to be "jealous and hateful" and sour a few words.

But Wang Yan had to bear a reputation for nepotism throughout his career, and this reputation would become an obstacle to him the higher he went. Even now, if the matter is too big, in order to show his fairness and selflessness, the emperor may put Wang Yan aside and not reuse it.

In this case, even if Wang Yan passes the exam, what is the use of Tanhua.

And Lin Chengliang has another worry, what if Wang Yan is angry with Youyu and thinks that it is because he married Youyu that he will be criticized like this. The relationship between husband and wife can't stand the toss, especially since he and Youyu have not been married for a long time, and they don't even have a child yet.

Especially now the message also involves my sister, since ancient times, only the adulterous concubine will blow the wind in her ears around the emperor, saying that my sister blows the wind in her ears in front of the emperor is not to scold my sister for being a traitor. A harem woman meddling in the imperial examination will also be considered to be the chicken Si Chen. The person behind this not only wants to destroy Wang Yan, but also wants to ruin her sister's good name.

Lin Chengliang stood up and said to Lin Yan: "Sister be careful, I'll go back and find out!" As he spoke, he said viciously: "Don't let me find out who is the troublemaker, otherwise I will break him into ten thousand pieces." ”

Lin Yan nodded to Lin Chengliang and said, "Go ahead." Check it out first, don't be impulsive! ”

Lin Chengliang nodded, and then left in a hurry, with a murderous look on his body, and those who didn't know thought he was going to kill someone.

After Lin Chengliang left, Lin Yan sighed, only to feel a headache.

Mu Qing saw that she looked bad, poured a bowl of tea and handed it to her with both hands, and said: "Niangniang don't worry too much, this is just a slanderous word from a person with a heart, Niangniang is innocent, why care what others say." ”

Lin Yan said: "The people behind this basically want to make things bigger, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as now, this palace is worried that there are bigger pits waiting for us behind." ”

Mu Qing also sighed lightly.

Lin Yan took a sip of tea, then put down the tea bowl, and asked, "How is the Wang family?" ”

Mu Qingdao: "On the surface, the Wang family is lazy to pay attention to these messages, and secretly Wang Shoufu also asked people to find out where this rumor came from. He added: "Wang Shoufu is an old fox, he has been an official in the court for decades, and there must be a way to solve this matter." ”

This matter is about his most valued grandson, and Wang Shoufu will do his best.

Lin Yan said: "I hope so." (To be continued.) )
