After ten years of officialdom as the second assistant and three years as the first assistant, no one has dared to challenge his status so far, but Wu Shan, the secretary of the ministry, has stood up.

Wu Shan was born with a standard Guozi face, with a medium body and bright eyes, and has always given people a low-key and old-fashioned impression, and his style of action tends to be alone, and he also maintains a respect for Xu Jie.

It's just that at this time, he suddenly stood up and clearly opposed Xu Jie's decision, and his eyes looked at Xu Jie's eyes with unprecedented firmness.

This......

When the officials saw Wu Shan's statement, even if they were petrified, as if they saw a dragon coming out of the water, some people even had goosebumps.

Not to mention other people, even Xu Jie himself didn't expect Wu Shan to have such an attitude, and it was even more rare to look at Wu Shan like a sword out of the sheath, and he was also stunned.

Wu Shan ignored the surprised gaze present, but expressed his opinion to Xu Jie with an expressionless face: "Li Yidi's article is too flattering, and the whole article is actually nothing, and this palace test cannot be selected first!" ”

The voice is not loud, but it reveals an unquestionable and extremely tough attitude.

is also opposed, but the weight of the dignified officials is no longer comparable to Dong Fen and Lin Haoran.

The most important thing is that Wu Shan was the fourteenth year of Jiajing's Tanhualang, with 360 protégés, and served as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials for several years, and he was the leader of Qingliu, and his prestige and influence were actually above Xu Jie.

Now he is openly and unequivocally opposed, and this is no less than a bombshell.

Xu Jie didn't know whether he was helpless or so angry that he couldn't speak, but he looked at Wu Shan with resentment without saying a word.

Wu Shan is an official with a very deep traditional concept, and he has always put himself in a good position, after all, Xu Jie's qualifications and status are above him, but there will be a bottom line in everything.

Facing Xu Jie's forced gaze, he did not avoid the other party's eyes, relying on some advantages in height, so that he could slightly look down on the short Xu Jie.

The two eyes met, and a spark sparked in the air.

Mutter......

Zhang Shouzhi, the secretary of Dali Temple, saw the "fairy fight", but secretly swallowed and spit, which will be an unforgettable scene for him.

Cough......

Yan Ne, the head of the household department, coughed lightly, but he gave Liu Tiqian, the political envoy of Zuo Tong, a look.

Liu Tiqian comprehended, and even acted as a pawn and said: "The lower officials think that this matter should be supplemented by Yuanfu......"

"Ziyuan, do you remember what the old man taught you back then?" Wu Shan heard that Liu Tiqian was going to favor Xu Jie, but he directly interrupted and asked.

Liu Tiqian's heart immediately tightened, and he hurriedly saluted with kindness: "The disciple lost his words!" ”

Jin Gui, the minister of Hanlin Cichen, is here, and many officials in the court are from serious imperial examinations, and it is easy to be infected with the status of teachers and students, and they have to call them teachers.

Liu Tiqian participated in the Shuntian Township Examination in the 22nd year of Jiajing, and the deputy chief examiner of the Township Examination that year was Wu Shan, who was a student in Hanlin at the time, but the two had the status of teachers and students.

Although Liu Tiqian hugged Xu Dang's thighs and also sat in the position of the political envoy of Zhengsanpin Zuotong, if he was really reprimanded by Wu Shan in person today, his career might come to an end.

Disciple?

Huang Guangsheng and the others of the Criminal Department were slightly stunned, looking at Wu Shan in disbelief.

thought that Liu Tiqian would pounce on and bite Wu Shan without hesitation, but he immediately wagged his tail and begged for mercy, and found that Wu Shan was really "a blockbuster if he didn't make a sound".

When Yan Ne saw this situation, he sighed gloomily in his heart, but he didn't expect that Wu Shan and Liu Tiqian still had a teacher-student relationship, so he personally pulled up his sleeves and went into battle and said: "Wu Shangshu, the chief reading officer this time is Lord Yuanfu, and the first alternative should be subject to Lord Yuanfu's opinion!" ”

When Yan Ne had just served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Yuan Wei, the current second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, served as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and it was Wu Shan who sat in the Ministry of Rites.

Because Wu Shan used to be his boss, and Wu Shan took care of him quite a time at that time, although he stood up to support Yu Xu Jie, his tone was not too tough.

"Even if the emperor is at fault, the courtiers have to correct it, not to mention Yuan Fuhu? It's just that the title of Lord Yuanfu is inappropriate, and he chooses a scholar with such a flattering article as the first alternative, and the old man resolutely disagrees! Wu Shan naturally couldn't treat Yan Ne like he did with Liu Tiqian, but he also objected unceremoniously.

This......

Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the others looked at Wu Shan's attitude so hard, but they couldn't help but secretly look at Xu Jie.

Just now, many people felt that Xu Jie's hand was very clever, and he directly pitted Lin Haoran fiercely, making Lin Haoran bear a bad reputation for favoritism.

It's just that he obviously missed someone, this Wu Yuejing is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he can make the situation take a turn for the worse by himself.

Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, Lin Haoran also looked up at his father-in-law Wu Shan, and at the same time was slightly moved in his heart, he found that he should really re-examine this cheap father-in-law who acted in a low-key manner.

Dong Fen first glanced at Lin Haoran, but suddenly stood up and said lively: "Wu Shangshu, you can't say that!" The quality of the article, everyone has their own preferences, we must uphold a public review! ”

"If you really act fairly, you won't recommend Fan Yingji, let alone shout about the champion scroll before you open the seal!" Wu Shan said mercilessly.

This......

Dali Siqing Zhang Shouzhi and others watched Wu Shan directly tear off the veil of Dong Fen's hypocrisy, although they felt that Wu Shan was too unsympathetic, but in their hearts they were extraordinarily relieved.

Fan Yingzhi was able to enter the Guozijian to study by donating rice, and the inmates who relied on the township examination treatment of the Guozi supervisors to get the qualifications to participate in the examination were only 193 in this examination.

It's just that the brazen Dong Fen recognized Fan Yingqi's scroll by identifying his handwriting, and tried to push this fellow villager of Wucheng County to the throne of the champion.

Now listening to Wu Shan's number of Dong Fen like this, and watching Dong Fen, who has always been invincible, get tired of it, how can he not feel happy in his heart?

Dong Fen's face turned red, but he faced Wu Shan, who was calm and sharp-eyed, but he didn't dare to argue.

Although he has already led the Ministry of Works, his own position is the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the other party is the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials. If he really had a strong quarrel with Wu Shan, I am afraid that he would not be able to run away with the title of "following the offense".

The most important thing is that even if he is very thick-skinned, this matter is really unreasonable, and he is indeed trying to elect his fellow countryman Fan Yingcheng to become the champion.

It was at this moment that Xu Jie, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and asked with a gentle smile on his face: "Brother Jing, but I don't know who you want to recommend?" ”

When Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and others heard this question, their eyes immediately lit up. As long as Wu Shan shows the candidates he recommends, then Xu Jie's side can completely criticize the examination papers of the scholars recommended by Wu Shan, so as to get the field back.

Lin Haoran immediately thought of this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at his father-in-law worriedly.
