Chapter 122: Secrets

Fortunately, there are many officials in the Gongyuan to protect the safety of the Gongyuan, and the paper of the lottery does not need to be carefully prepared, and a circle is drawn on the paper to participate in the competition, and the rest is dotted with an ink dot.

After Qi Run and the other officials came out of the file room of the Gongyuan, one of the officials walked up to the high platform with the prepared wooden box.

Zhao Fengshou stood aside and glanced at everyone, his expression was not the slightest unnatural: "Students, the number of notes in the wooden box is the same as the number of students present, and there are two kinds of notes drawn on it: circles and ink dots. ”

"Lord Qi Shengming, Lord Zhao Shengming." The compliments of many scholars resounded inside and outside the Gongyuan.

Zhao Fengshou, who originally had the same complexion, looked a little unnatural when he heard the words of Lord Zhao Shengming, and a feeling of weakness arose spontaneously from his heart.

Coughing lightly twice, Zhao Fengshou motioned to the official to go down with the wooden box: "The lottery begins!" ”

Liu Mingzhi stared at Zhao Fengshou intently, and was relieved to see him nodding at him, even if the six of them couldn't win all of them, as long as they could have three games left, they could win directly, plus the previous two victories, it can be said that victory was in sight.

"A few brothers, it's all up to you! Fatherland.... Ahem, the court and the people of Jiangnan are looking at you, waiting for the good news of your triumphant return. ”

Li Peichao nodded with a little embarrassment, looking a little nervous, all because Liu Dashao's words were too scary, and what did the court and the people of the whole Jiangnan look at the news of our triumphant return, they don't know if it's good or not.

Besides, the triumphant return is the news of the victorious return from the battlefield, we are just trying to compare the elegant things of poetry, wine, flowers, and tea, needless to say, so severe.

Looking at the expressions of several people, Liu Dashao sighed, how can he be an official with such a thin skin? How can we embark on the path of being in charge in the future?

You must know that being an official is not black, but the bones that will be swallowed by those black-hearted guys are gone, although Liu Dashao has no experience in being an official, but the Qing palace dramas and TV series are not less, those officials are guys who absolutely eat people and don't spit out bones, not to mention anything else, just say that his father-in-law Qi Run, can he mix from a white cloth to the position of a feudal official, is his ass clean? Can't be clean, your own family knows your own affairs, sometimes no matter how upright an official is, he can't do something that ignores his conscience, there is no way, the world is like this, the water is clear, there is no fish, and it is not that there is no food and fish cannot survive.

The same is true of officialdom, if you want to be a clear stream in the background, if you don't say anything else, your colleagues can squeeze you to death.

Not to mention, if your face is too thin, you can't even control your subordinates, and if you call you an adult respectfully with a face, what can you do in private.

Therefore, you have to be black, and this old man will do it perfectly, otherwise the fat meat of the Jiangnan Liu family will be the fish on the sticky board of others sooner or later.

In order to avoid the suspicion of these Jiangnan scholars, the order of drawing lots began with the last scholar and gradually moved forward, and everyone who got the note looked depressed, and looked at each other to see if a certain classmate around them had drawn a note with a circle.

Li Peichao and the six of them took off a note from the top of the carton with different faces, and then opened it and took a look, sure enough, without exception, all the people who were greeted by Liu Dashao had a note with a circle in their hands.

Seeing the errand officer holding the wooden box returning to the high platform, Zhao Fengshou cleared his throat: "The students who drew circles were drawn and walked into the ring on their own to wait for Jin Guoshizi to face the remaining Liuya." ”

After the six of them got up, there was another commotion.

"How can this be, God must have favored them too much, not only did Qiu Yu occupy the top ten results, but also drew a sign that became famous all over the world."

"Could it be that there is something else in it, why the people who drew the slips on the field are all within ten scholars, will it be too much of a coincidence?"

"Yes, could it be that the two adults are getting in the way, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? It just so happened that a few of them drew a sign with a circle on it. ”

"Probably not, after all, the order of the draw starts from our side, maybe it's really their luck is too good, I can only pity my bad luck."

"Perhaps, Lord Qi's reputation has always been good, and he has made many achievements as an official in Jinling over the years, and is praised by the people, he should not destroy his reputation and do such a humiliating thing."

"There are no absolutes, even if Lord Qi will not do such a self-destructive thing, Lord Zhao? He is a Beijing official, and in order to maintain the face of the imperial court, it is inevitable that he will not be like this in order to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Ming Gong Huainan Wang Ke is also on the high platform, with the prestige of Ming Gong, he must not be looking at Lord Zhao Hu Lai, right?"

These people suddenly didn't know that this kind of black-box operation was exactly what Ming Gong was talking about on the side, and it may not be so serious to make a suggestion, but it was still impossible to refute it after pointing a few people awake.

It's not a big sin, it's a culprit at most.

Looking at the few people who stood up from Jiangnan Shizi, Wan Yang's expression was a little difficult to look at, how could he not see that something was wrong, but if there was no evidence, if he said it directly, he would end up with a reputation for making trouble out of nothing.

glared at Liu Mingzhi fiercely again, he decided that it was Liu Dashao who ruined his plan.

Sometimes people are so unreasonable, they will only blame others for their sins, and if they don't calculate others first, how can they be calculated by others.

Looking at Wan Yang, who looked unwilling to sit in the seat, Yan Yu looked at Wan Yang with a little ridicule: "I haven't tasted this feeling of frustration for a long time, sometimes this person has to come out and walk around often, so as not to be able to control everything for himself, it is easy to be arrogant after a long time, you and Liu Gongzi are very good opponents, I haven't seen you and others-for-tat." ”

Yan Yu didn't have the slightest intention of endangering Wanyang, but ridiculed Wanyang who was a little frustrated.

Hu Yanyu rubbed his nose and muttered, "-for-tat? Otherwise, I think it's just eyebrows. ”

Yan Yu turned her head to look at Hu Yanyu suspiciously: "What are you muttering?" ”

"No, maybe my stomach is ringing, you heard it wrong!"

Wan Yang took a few deep breaths: "Bai Ren, you are the best at cultivating flowers and plants, so you will take the stage to fight these scholars in Jiangnan with the theme of flowers." ”

Bai Ren nodded and walked straight out: "Bai Ren, the scholar of the Jin Kingdom, greeted the princes, you brothers are polite, Bai Ren is not talented, good at flowers and plants, so he will take the flowers in the poems and flowers and tea as the topic, and that brother is willing to come to the stage to teach you?" ”

Li Peichao and the six of them looked at each other, and finally fixed their eyes on Hu Jun's body, Hu Jun had said before that he had been cultivating flowers and plants for a long time in Dangyang Academy, and he also had some experience in flowers and plants.

Hu Jun didn't shirk either, cleared his robe, walked into the ring and looked at Bai Ren and saluted: "Hu Jun, a student of Dangyang Academy, has seen Brother Bai, and Brother Bai has a little brother to ask for advice on flowers, I don't know how Brother Bai wants to compare?" ”

"It turned out to be a high apprentice of Dangyang Academy, Bai has heard that the students of Dangyang Academy are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, they are all well-informed, Bai is not talented, recently I got a strange seedling, I saw the hunting heart and transplanted it at home to take care of it, the sky is pitiful, under the careful care of Bai, this strange flower did not die because of the sudden change of growth location, and it coincided with the meeting of the two countries this year, and the big competition between the two countries happened to be themed with poetry and hop tea, and Bai had to take this strange flower with him."

"Oh? In this way, Brother Bai wants to use this strange flower in his mouth as the theme? ”

"Yes, Fang Cai Bai said, I heard that the students of Dangyang Academy are well-informed and knowledgeable, as long as Brother Hu can say the name and habits of this flower, it will be considered Brother Hu's victory, and vice versa, it will be regarded as Bai's victory, how about it?"

After Bai Ren finished speaking, everyone on the side of Jiangnan Shizi changed color, and secretly scolded Bai Ren for being shameless, you must know how big the world is, how many flowers and plants there are, and some people have exhausted their lives to identify the names of all the flowers and plants in the world, and the land south of the Great Dragon River is thousands of miles away from the land of the Dragon City of the Jin Kingdom, and many people have never even been to the northern frontier of the Dragon Country for half their lives, so how can they recognize the names of the flowers and plants of the Jin Kingdom.

Besides, Bai Ren also said that this flower and plant was obtained by chance, who knows if the chance was obtained in the Jin Kingdom, and it is tantamount to it is difficult to say the name and habits of this flower just by one flower.

Hu Jun also looked worried, and he also understood the difficulties, but he had already taken the stage, and the success or failure could only be concluded after seeing the strange flower in Bai Ren's mouth.

Qin Bin looked at Liu Mingzhi with a depressed face: "Brother Liu, Brother Bai is afraid that the situation will not be good this time, the world is so big, An can recognize everything." ”

Liu Mingzhi also knows the difficulty of this question, in the ancient era of underdeveloped information, even if it is his own domestic species, it is impossible to recognize all the species, let alone the strange flowers in the mouths of other countries, not to mention Hu Jun, even if Liu Mingzhi, who was born in the later generations for more than 20 years, does not dare to say that he can recognize the names of all flowers and plants in the era of developed information networks.

And the ancient title may not be exactly the same as the modern title, sighing silently, Liu Mingzhi has no expectations, and can only resign himself to fate.

Hu Jun paced back and forth a few times and looked at Bai Ren quietly: "What if I recognize the name of this strange flower, and you don't admit it?" The people present could not say who was right and who was wrong. ”

Bai Ren seemed to have been prepared, took out a folded note from his sleeve and held it up: "At this time, it is simple, Bai has already written the name of this strange flower on the paper, and now you can put the note on the table, and wait for Brother Hu to say the name of this flower and plant to open it for comparison, even if Bai wants to quibble, there is nothing to do, and Bai guarantees his life, the name on the paper is absolutely true, if there is a false wish to kill himself on the spot, there are seniors and brothers as evidence, Bai Mou said the same." ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Ren put the note on the table and looked at Hu Jun calmly.

Hu Jun gritted his teeth: "Take the flowers!" ”

Bai Ren slapped his palm a few times, and immediately a servant walked up with a pot of potted plants covered with a white cloth, put it on the table between the two, and retreated.

"Brother Hu, please watch."

Hu Jun stretched out his somewhat stiff arm and slowly peeled off the white cloth on the potted plant.

Kindness? Hu Jun looked coldly at the strange flowers in Bai Ren's mouth, revealing the true face of Lushan, and was surprised, how could it be?

I saw that a few gorgeous flowers in the flower pot were blooming very vigorously, gently swaying with the breeze in the Gongyuan, showing their most beautiful side.

Hu Jun's face gradually became relaxed, and he even brought a smile, and looked at Bai Ren with some teasing, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

When Bai Ren saw Hu Jun's expression from gloomy to sunny, a bad thought suddenly rose in his heart, could it be that Hu Jun really knew what kind of flower this was.

Immediately, Bai Ren immediately denied it in his heart, Hu Jun is a student of Jiangnan Academy, and at this age, he has almost never been to Biansai, let alone the farther Turkic steppe, this flower is still the flower he found when he was ordered to send the eldest princess Yan Yu to marry the Huyan tribe, and only then did he know the name of this flower according to the introduction of the locals, Jin Lumei.

The Great Dragon Dynasty usually boasts of being the superior country of the Heavenly Empire, and has never been willing to go to the grassland and other wild places they think, how can they know the flowers produced in the grassland, even if there are businessmen who have been to the grassland, but these merchants are going to make money and sell cattle and sheep, and they will not be interested in the flowers and plants that grow on the ground.

Liu Mingzhi saw that the flowers in the potted plants on the table were also bright, and they turned out to be wolf poison flowers, or Gesang flowers in the mouths of Tibetan compatriots. Immediately worried, he was able to recognize Gesang Hua because of the developed network in later generations and some classmates were Tibetan compatriots, but where is Hu Jun?

The Tibetans of later generations are the land of the Western Regions in the mouth of the Great Dragon Dynasty now, and few people will travel so far only by cattle and horses.

Hu Jun squinted at Bai Ren, who was a little uneasy: "Brother Bai, are you sure that as long as I tell the name and habits of this flower, I will win the competition?" ”

Even if Bai Ren was worried, he couldn't regret it, so he stubbornly said: "That's right, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, as long as Brother Hu says the name of this flower and his habits, Bai will admit defeat." ”

Hu Jun circled around Jin Lumei twice: "Jin Lumei, produced in the Western Regions, the Turkic land also has this flower growing, the people of the Western Regions call it Gesang flower, Gesang flower has the meaning of happiness in the mouth of the people of the Western Regions, this flower stem petals look weak and can't help the wind, in fact, the more wind and rain win, the stronger it is green, the stronger the sunshine, the more brilliant this flower, although there are not many Turkic places, but there are also a lot, but in the Western Regions this flower takes root everywhere, it is not called a strange flower in the mouth of Brother Bai, It's just that it hasn't appeared in the land of the dragon and the south of the Yangtze River. ”

After speaking, Hu Jun took the note on the table, opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, there were three words written on the paper: Jin Lumei.

Hu Jun smiled gracefully: "Brother Bai? How is it? ”

Bai Ren took a few steps back, his face embarrassed: "Impossible, Jiangnan Shizi is so weak, how can he go to the grassland thousands of miles away, impossible." ”

"Nothing is impossible, isn't this exactly what Brother Bai said? The students of Dangyang Academy are knowledgeable and well-informed, what is so strange about knowing Jin Lumei? And ........" Hu Jun leaned into Bai Ren's ear and whispered: "Since I took the stage, I have always called myself a student of Dangyang Academy, not a Jiangnan scholar. ”

Bai Ren's eyes widened and he looked at Hu Jun in dismay: "You .........."

Hu Jun shook his head slightly and turned to look at Qi Run and the two on the high platform: "The junior Hu Jun saw the two adults, and according to the rules, the junior won this game." ”

"Okay, it is worthy of being the third place Jingkui Juren, and it is really brilliant, and the official must be seriously injured after the Luming banquet is over."

"Thank you, sir!"

Qi Run's faces were overjoyed, and they won another game, winning three sentences in a row, as long as nothing went wrong, the possibility of the Jin State Mission wanting to turn over was very small.

Some people are happy and some are worried, Bai Renxin returned to his original position unwillingly: "Commander, subordinate.......... The subordinates didn't expect ........"

Wan Yang glanced at Bai Ren lightly: "Forgive you for your innocence, no one thought that Jiangnan Shizi, who lives in a remote corner, would know the flowers and plants thousands of miles away, so go back." ”

Bai Ren wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and didn't dare to look at Wan Yang's expression: "Thank you for your magnanimity." ”

Hu Yanyu calmly watched Hu Jun walk back to his position, shaking his head helplessly.

Yan Yu looked at Hu Yanyu strangely: "Husband, do you know the son on the stage just now?" ”

Hu Yanyu was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head: "I don't know, I just sigh that this person actually knows the flowers and plants of my Turkic tribe, and he is just curious." ”

Yan Yu lowered his head and looked at Hu Jun's back, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Hu, congratulations, you won another game for me, congratulations!"

Hu Jun, who greeted everyone, bowed his head one by one: "It just so happened that he would have heard of the name of this flower and plant, so it can only be said that the victory was very lucky, and the next duel will be the brother of Lao." ”

Hu Jun sat back in his place: "Senior brother, I don't know if you know that flower and plant?" ”

Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "I don't know, or brother, you are well-informed." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Mingzhi held his chin and didn't know what he was thinking, and glanced at Hu Jun on the side from time to time, only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Qin Bin whispered suspiciously beside Liu Mingzhi: "Brother Liu, when Brother Hu opened the white cloth just now, your eyes lit up obviously after you saw that flower, you really don't know the name of that flower?" ”

Liu Mingzhi glanced at Qin Bin playfully, and secretly said that Qin Bin was really observant, and he actually saw his fleeting look.

Liu Mingzhi still shook his head: "I'm just shocked that there are such gorgeous flowers and plants this season, I really don't know its name." ”

Seeing that Liu Mingzhi's expression was the same, Qin Bin shook his head and stopped asking.

"In the third game of the Baya competition, Hu Jun, a student of Dangyang Academy, won."

Zhao Fengshou stood up again and looked at Li Peichao and the five people: "There will be Jiangnan scholars on stage below, and that student is willing to take the lead?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, and Li Peichao walked out: "The younger generation is not talented in Dangyang Academy, Li Peichao is willing to come to the stage to play against the Jin State Mission with the theme of painting, and that brother is willing to come to the stage to teach?" ”

"Jin Guogui Buer is willing to ask Brother Li for a lesson or two."

Seeing that there was a competition that was about to start, Liu Mingzhi did not have the slightest turmoil in his heart, and turned to look at Wen Renzheng, who was leaning against the wall not far away.

But Wen Renzheng's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Liu Dashao stretched his waist and muttered: "It's normal for people to have secrets, but if it's too deep, it will make people frightened and uneasy, not good, it's really bad!" ”
