As the emperor's number one confidant, Xu Jingzong's invitation was naturally accompanied by the prime ministers.

If such a feast is not purposeful, it is leisure.

But what can a group of prime ministers say when they get together?

So you have to schedule the show.

A group of young people are drinking and having fun in front of them, brewing poems and essays.

"What do you think of these young people?"

Yuwenjie looked at it with a smile.

"Not bad." The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at it, saw Jia Ping'an who had just come in, and said calmly: "The poetry article is just a small way for us and others. ”

Li Yifu also came, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart.

Looking at the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji, it is clear that he is ready to praise a few words, but why did he change his words?

He looked at Jia Ping'an who came over, and his heart moved slightly.

This young man is very good at poetry, and the eldest grandson Wuji must feel that he is invincible, so he simply rejects these as small paths.

Thinking of this, there was more gloom in his eyes.

Jia Ping'an didn't give him face, and in turn went to Xu's house for a banquet, which was obviously a slap in the face.

If you don't come back with such a shameful humiliation, how can the old man be an official?

Jia Ping'an came over and said, "You ministers came early, but it was late. ”

Li Yifu said with a smile: "Uncle Wu Yang is young, he is talented in poetry, and it is okay to come late." ”

These words implied poison: Jia Ping'an indulged in it and deliberately came late.

Jia Ping'an glanced at him, "I went to the south of the city to see the students building the wall. ”

Li Yifu suddenly realized, "Uncle Wu Yang is really diligent, but let the students build the wall, but I don't know what the considerations are?" ”

Jia Ping'an looked at him and said with a smile: "Do Li Sheren want to learn?" ”

Burst!

Someone on the side burst out laughing.

What don't you want to learn?

Li Yifu's eyes were more fierce, "The eldest grandson said that the poetry article is a small way, what does Wu Yangbo think?" ”

Master Jia's fame is poetry, and the most widely sung poems in Chang'an City are his ones, which can be called the existence of top traffic.

But there is something about me in this remark.

Li Yifu is Li Zhi's person, and Jia Ping'an is also Li Zhi's person, and there was a dispute between the two of them, and the eldest grandson Wuji was quite interested and wanted to see the methods of these two.

Jia Ping'an is going to spray.

But he didn't dare to touch the old man, so he could only vent at Li Yifu.

Interesting!

The corners of the eldest grandson Wuji's mouth curled slightly, and his mood became more and more relaxed.

Jia Ping'an glanced at him and knew that the old fox wanted to watch the show.

But......

"Poetry article ......" Jia Ping'an said: "To do things for officials, of course, is to do things first." Some people feel that they can do things by reciting poems, and they can show their talents by quoting scriptures, so they are talents. ”

This is a disadvantage.

The eldest grandson Wuji felt something interesting.

He thought to himself, could this broom star be attached to the old man?

"I think that to look at a person, we must look at the comprehensiveness, and to be an official is to look at the ability to do things, rather than the merits of poetry and articles. If this is the case, everyone ponders poetry and articles, but who ponders how to do things? ”

Jia Ping'an, is this going to show goodwill to the eldest grandson Wuji?

Everyone thought it was a little incredible.

The emperor's people showed favor to the eldest grandson Wuji, this is considered a success of the eldest grandson Wuji?

Or does Jia Ping'an feel that the eldest grandson Wuji has a more promising future.

For a while, everyone was a little silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have written a few poems, and I also ask you to be upright."

A young man came over with a stack of papers, and he humbly invited the bigwigs to appreciate it.

Everyone watched it, but they all tacitly avoided Jia Ping'an.

Brother, this is a master of loneliness!

Jia Ping'an was actually more humble and was invited to comment, as far as his appreciation ability, most of the people present could crush him.

So it's not bad to pretend to be a tall person.

As for those embarrassed glances, just ignore them.

People in Jia Ping'an's department are cheats in the imperial examination, and the worst is poetry articles. And the proportion of the current imperial examination poems is not small. The eldest grandson Wuji, as the chief prime minister, said that the poetry article was just a small talk, and Jia Ping'an didn't know that he took it by the trend, that is, the pig.

and then rebuild the momentum, so that the poetry should be stopped, which is a great benefit to Jia Ping'an's side.

He looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, his eyes full of affection and friendship.

Thanks a lot!

After drinking, those young people were a little awkward in composing poems, and the prime ministers were even more precious to words, and it was impossible to compose poems.

Xu Jingzong knew that it was because of Jia Ping'an's presence, and he was afraid of being slapped in the face.

After drinking some wine, Jia Ping'an took his leave first.

After he left, the young people came alive.

"That's Uncle Wuyang?"

"That's him."

"Younger than so-and-so."

"My favorite song is his ...... The moon fell and the sky was full of frost, and Jiang Feng was sleeping...... That artistic conception, just think about it, you have to drink. ”

"Wrong, but I like his song of red beans in the south, the feelings are sincere, the words are simple, but they hit people's hearts, which can be called his best poem."

A young man said, "I think the best thing is the half of the poem...... Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road! ”

In an instant, the whole audience had a black face, and the host's Lao Xu was even darker and almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.

Are you saying that we are drinking and having fun, but we have forgotten that people's livelihood is difficult?

The young man said proudly: "The style of Wu Yangbo's poems is changeable, but I paid attention to this half of the poems, and there is another one...... As far as the Sui Dynasty died, it was a river, and it has been thousands of miles away. If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit. found that Wu Yangbo was actually quite worried about the country and the people, and this was his heart. ”

This is Jia Ping'an's iron fan.

Everyone was speechless, Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth, and felt that he shouldn't invite Xiao Jia to come.

Everything here was passed on to Li Zhi.

"It is said that Jia Ping'an flatters the eldest grandson."

Baiqi's report was relatively calm, "The eldest grandson Xianggong said that the article and poetry were originally a small way, and most of the people present disagreed, only Jia Ping'an agreed, and said that doing things is the most important thing......"

Wang Zhongliang glanced at Li Zhi and felt that the broom star was dying.

What uncle, you are the emperor's person, to flatter the eldest grandson Wuji, isn't that stabbing the emperor in the back?

Li Zhi said lightly: "Got it." ”

The emperor looked calm, but Wang Zhongliang knew that this matter was not over.

Thinking that Wu Zhaoyi's younger brother was going to be unlucky, Wang Zhongliang subconsciously felt that Concubine Xiao Shufei was about to take off.

Sure enough, Li Zhi got up and said, "Go to Concubine Shu and have a look." ”

Just halfway through, someone came to say, "Your Majesty, what did Jia Ping'an say when he watched the students build the city in the south of the city...... The eldest grandson Xianggong said that the poetry article was just a small road, and he thought so, but the imperial examination took the poetry article first, which shows that he did not want to forge ahead. ”

Li Zhi stopped, his hands clenched into fists......

"Go to Wu Mei."

Wang Zhongliang was confused.

Then why did Jia Ping'an turn over again?

Wu Mei welcomed the emperor in, and then said something about the child in her belly.

"Your brother is in the limelight today."

Li Zhi's tone was a little wrong, Wu Mei's heart tightened, and he smiled: "He's still young!" It's inevitable to make mistakes. ”

Don't panic when you encounter something, put the young people out first, and young people should be forgiven for making mistakes.

Li Zhi said with a smile: "Previously, Xu Jingzong's family had a banquet, and the prime ministers all went, and my uncle said that the poetry and writing were a small way, and Jia Ping'an greatly agreed......

Is that baby crazy?

Wu Mei's eyes were more fierce.

Zhang Tianxia felt that this was a gesture to be done.

"I think about it now, my uncle said this, half of it was for his sake. Wu Yangbo's poetry is the best in Chang'an! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji just casually belittled the poetry article, but he also thought the same thing in his heart, but he couldn't say it in the past.

Then Jia Ping'an took the lead in leaving, and later publicized his uncle's words in the south of the city.

Wu Mei was at a loss, she is not involved in political affairs too much now, so she doesn't know much about the imperial examination, and she doesn't know that Jia Ping'an's students are all scum, and the imperial examination is in vain.

Li Zhiwan said: "The imperial examination is the first to emphasize poems and articles, and none of his students can pass the imperial examination. ”

Wu Mei suddenly realized, covered her forehead and said, "He is like this? ”

The little brother actually fooled the eldest grandson Wuji, and by the way, he also tricked him. The eldest grandson of this pit, Wuji, has nothing to say, and he has to say that he Jia Ping'an said it well.

This means......

Li Zhi's eyes flashed with a familiar light.

That's the smell.

Fooling the dead does not pay for their lives.

"The key is ......"

Li Zhi didn't say the following words, but Wu Mei knew.

After he left, Wu Mei suddenly held her big belly and laughed, leaning forward and closing back.

"Zhaoyi, be careful."

Zhang Tianxia was a little frightened, and he was worried that something would happen to the child.

Wu Mei gasped: "This news makes me happy for a while, and I can't help but laugh." ”

Zhang Tianxia was puzzled, and after helping her sit down, he asked, "Wu Yangbo can be regarded as borrowing the situation this time." ”

"It's a leverage, but it's also a trap." Wu Mei's smiling eyebrows and eyes were crooked, with a rare femininity, "The key is...... Those people in Guanlong are going to be entangled again, thinking about whether Jia Ping'an has taken refuge in the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

Politicians rarely say that they stand in line publicly, and when Jia Ping'an comes out like this today, many people in the small circle will probably think that Jia Ping'an is kneeling.

"Poof!"

Zhang Tianxia couldn't help laughing.

This is really tricky.

……

After Zhou Xing got the news, he happily entered the courtyard.

The weather was hot, and Chen Erniang was standing under the eaves with a blank expression.

This crazy woman!

Thinking that he was almost strangled to death by this woman last time, Zhou Xing couldn't help but touch his neck.

He entered the room and said happily: "Wang Shangshu, that Jia Ping'an bowed his head to Xianggong today." ”

Well?

Wang Qi, who was doing needlework, raised his head, and his eyes were extraordinarily deep, "Tell me clearly." ”

"Xiang Gong said something today, Jia Ping'an immediately agreed, and after he went out, he also praised Xiang Gong."

"This ......"

Wang Qi suddenly felt that the needlework was not fragrant.

He wanted to trample Jia Ping'an under his feet, but this person suddenly knelt down.

So what am I still tossing?

But Jia Ping'an is not such a person!

"Go to the Xianggong and ask."

Zhou Xing ran fast, and arrived at the eldest grandson Wuji's house later and told the steward about it.

The steward went in and inquired.

The eldest grandson Wuji was about to go home, drinking tea, and by the way, he thought about the words and deeds of the previous prime ministers, so that he could judge who was his ally and who was perfunctory.

Speaking of allies, he couldn't help but think of Chu Suiliang.

Lao Chu is on the way back, but the eldest grandson Wuji is a little impatient.

"Aaron."

"Come in."

The eldest grandson Wuji accepted his emotions.

The steward came in, "Ah Lang, someone from Wang Qi's side asked if Jia Ping'an had taken refuge in Xianggong." ”

Well?

The eldest grandson Wuji was puzzled, "Why do you ask like this?" ”

"It is said that Jia Ping'an is hyping up Xianggong outside, and any poetry and article is a small way."

In an instant, the eldest grandson Wuji understood everything.

He said lightly: "Such a foolish ......"

The steward understood, "Yes." ”

After going out, Zhou Xing waited in the front yard and said with a smile: "What did Xianggong say?" ”

"Stand still."

The steward said lightly.

Zhou Xing didn't know why, so he straightened his waist and stood up.

The steward moved his wrist for a moment, then tried a few times before slapping it away.

Syllable!

Zhou Xing was blinded by a slap.

The steward scolded: "The prime minister said, such a foolish person should be beaten!" ”

Zhou Xing went back in despair, Wang Qi frowned, "Stand up!" ”

Zhou Xing's body was trembling.

Wang Qi pinched the needle and thread and poked it in his face, "Do you know why you didn't ask, but let you go?" ”

Zhou Xing felt that his face was bleeding, but he didn't dare to touch it, "I don't know." ”

Wang Qi sighed: "Because Jia Ping'an is the emperor's person, unless the prime minister agrees to protect him, he will not bow his head to the prime minister in public." He's in Baiqi, that's the emperor's place, and the emperor can press him to death at will, you say...... He bowed his head to Xianggong, is it possible? ”

Zhou Xing suddenly realized, "I see." ”

"You're stupid, and the others are even more stupid, I guess you're going to have a headache."

Later, someone came.

"Xianggong said it, refute the rumors!"

Wang Qi responded, and as soon as the others left, he said in a mysterious way: "This matter is your fault, so you went to find Jia Ping'an and made a fuss with him." ”

After making a fuss, everyone naturally knew that it was a rumor.

Zhou Xing went all the way to the south of the city, and when he saw the more than ten gray-faced students, even though he was in a heavy mood, he still laughed.

"Laugh...... Laugh at you! ”

It was Li Yuanying who scolded people.

This doesn't meet the etiquette requirements of the clan.

But Li Yuanying has been going crazy these days, who cares about his demeanor.

Zhou Xing scolded: "Where is the broom star? ”

Hey!

So kind?

More than a dozen students straightened up and winked at each other.

The opportunity to be lazy has come.

The rebellious young man Yang Yuan said righteously: "It is ......bearable to dare to insult Mr.

Chen Bao raised his arms and shouted, "It's unbearable!" ”

Li Yuanying concluded, "Do it! ”

More than a dozen students pounced.

Bang!

Li Yuanying flew up and kicked Zhou Xing down, and Wei Chi Xunyu picked him up again and knocked him down with a punch.

Woohoo!

The foreman, that is, the little officer, had already seen this scene, but he stood by and watched, and later felt that he would die if he fought again, so he said: "It's almost there! ”

Li Yuanying glanced back at him, and the little official shuddered, "I'm going to die." ”

"Get to work!"

Li Yuanying shouted, more than ten students left, and Zhou Xing, who was lying on the ground covered in bruises, looked at the sky.

Why me?

Yang Yuan snorted him and scolded: "Cheap dog slave, dare to scold Mr." ”

It's hard work.

Yang Yuan looked at his palm, the blisters there had already been grinded, which also benefited from the experience of those people.

"Pick up the soil!"

Yang Yuan spat into the palm of his hand and picked up the burden to go over.

Half of the soil in the basket is very different from the basket full of soil from the people next to him, but this is already Yang Yuan's limit.

He bent down to pick up the burden, only to feel a pain in his shoulder. He gritted his teeth and straightened up, staggered to his feet, and then steadied himself as he walked forward.

Several people laughed, "This is a young man who is golden and noble, but he suffers with us." ”

Go up the slope of the dirt pile, and then pour the soil into the mold, and someone will tamp it later.

The so-called plate construction is to build a large mold with wooden planks, pour the soil into it, and then tamp it. You have to build as high as you want.

Once one layer has been made, the mould can be continued on this layer of rammed earthen walls......

The so-called laying the foundation is a process in this.

Yang Yuan was tired, so he sat down to rest, and there was a man next to him who was also resting and drinking water.

He accidentally saw the thick yellow calluses in the palms of the people's hands, so he casually asked: "You work so hard, but you don't earn much money, are you willing?" ”

His father, Yang Zhao, was a great Confucian, and his teaching since he was a child was to study hard and take the imperial examination, and then follow the words of the sages to become an official and a man.

Being an official is naturally transcendent, and he is separated by 108,000 miles from such people, one is a god in the sky, and the other is an ant on the ground.

Yang Yuan has been observing these people for the past few days, and found that although they are tired and their income is outrageously low, they are very happy.

Why is that?

Minfu glanced at him and said, "What can you do if you are unwilling?" ”

In an instant, Yang Yuan understood.

It's not a question of willingness, it's resignation.

"Then why are you so happy?"

Minfu smiled: "Not happy...... Can life be better? ”

Yang Yuan Muran.

Yes, unhappy days are still like this, so why not live happily?

After work later, Yang Yuan went home.

Yang Zhao had already arrived home, and when he saw him coming back with a disgraced face, he said with a straight face: "The so-called new learning is grandstanding, and it is even more unusual to let you wait to work." People are classified and will govern the country; Merchants traffic goods and communicate with each other; The people should work and do things...... Let you wait to mingle with the people, Na Jia Ping'an probably wants to flatter. ”

The steward on the side was worried that Yang Yuan would refute the quarrel, but Yang Yuan smiled and went to wash.

After dinner, Yang Yuan did his homework in his room.

Yang Zhao was hanging outside, but he didn't go in.

"Don't go tomorrow, your uncles are coming, and there are some brothers."

Such family gatherings cannot be shirked unless they are a major event.

"Yes."

On the second day, Yang Yuan first went to the south of the city to take leave.

When I came back, there were more than a dozen people in the family.

The Yang family is a big family, and Yang Zhao's parents separated after they went, but the relationship between the brothers is good, and they get together every once in a while.

Yang Zhao is the elder brother, and he sits and talks with the three brothers.

Ding Dingsheng of the Yang family......

The following is the younger generation, teenagers of different ages for more than ten years debating.

The Yang family, which is a Confucian heirloom, also gathers to discuss knowledge.

Yang Yuan came back, and his cousin Yang Xuan stopped him, "Big brother come and talk about ......"

"Say what?"

Yang Yuan knelt down and sat down, his waist straight, which made Yang Yuan's brothers praise in a low voice.

Sitting and sitting, this is not an empty word, but anyone who bows his waist and collapses his back will be scolded lightly and blamed heavily.

But Yang Yuan went against Yang Zhao's intentions and went to learn a new school, which made the elders of the Yang family quite dissatisfied.

And the cousins looked at him with more curiosity and envy in their eyes.

It's really cool to be able to disobey the meaning of the elders!

Yang Xuan said: "We talked earlier about governing one side for the officials. Gorou said that if there was a flood in the local area, he said that he should send people to inspect the ......"

There are arguments on one side, and there are all kinds of opinions.

Yang Zhao and the brothers looked at it with a smile.

In the end, it was Yang Yuan's turn, Yang Zhao's eyes were slightly dark, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this son's rebellion.

Yang Yuan said: "If it is so, the first thing to do is to let people investigate everywhere and determine the losses. The second is that water should not be taken at will, and it must be boiled before drinking......"

Hey!

Several of Yang Zhao's brothers couldn't help but sigh softly, and they all listened carefully.
