The method that King Wei Liu Xu said is not impossible, but the risk is extremely high, once the news leaks, it will be a complete loss, King Wei has not thought about failure, but at the moment he can't think about it so much, and what better way is there than this? Even if there were, who would be faithful enough to give them an idea now?

Du Zongting didn't know what to say at this time, what he didn't expect was that King Wei would really make dangerous moves, it seemed that he had been driven to a desperate situation. Du Zongting began to hesitate about the task arranged by King Wei, and if he got on this boat, there seemed to be no turning back. Now to persuade the King of Wei, it seems to be in vain, now there is no turning back arrow from the bow, no matter what the King of Wei says, he can only nod his head again and again and say "yes".

The moon still rises on the roof of the "Gao Sheng Inn" at night, and dim red lanterns are hung under the eaves.

When Lu Zuo returned to the inn, it was already dark, Lu Renxiang and Yin Ji were waiting for Lu Zuo to come back for dinner in the guest room, and when they saw Lu Zuo entering the house, they looked abnormal, and asked him what was wrong in unison. Lu Zuo bowed his head and was silent, he had been busy for a day, although his stomach was empty, but he had already forgotten all about being hungry, and now he saw the sumptuous meal on the table, and then he remembered that he was already hungry, so he sat directly next to Yin Ji, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat the vegetables, but he didn't have the heart to eat, after hesitating for a while, he gently put the chopsticks in front of the table, and then lowered his head to think about something.

Lu Renxiang and Yin Ji looked at each other, this sumptuous dinner was specially arranged by the shop owner, and the shop owner knew that Lu Renxiang and several of them were on the gold list today, so he specially gave them the dishes for free.

Lu Renxiang wondered in his heart, his brother was obviously very hungry, how could he not eat a bite? Is it because of today's failure? But during the day, when he saw the list, he was still calm and relaxed, what major events were encountered on weekdays, my brother could say that Mount Tai collapsed in front and did not fall, how could it be so abnormal today, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Yin Ji was still a little bolder, and asked again with a nervous expression, "Master, is something wrong?" ”

Lu Zuo looked worried, looked at the two of them, and then said lightly: "There may be something wrong!" ”

"What's wrong? What's the matter? What can happen to this good guy! Lu Renxiang couldn't bear to ask.

"Yes, Master, don't scare me."

Lu Zuo saw the anxious and concerned looks of the two of them, and then he spoke: "King Wei may be going to rebel!" ”

"Ah......" Lu Renxiang and Yin Ji were so stunned that their chopsticks fell on the table, and then they looked at each other dumbfounded, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Lu Zuo shook his head, then stood up and walked to the window, then closed the window firmly, and finally sat back down before saying, "Now I'm just guessing!" ”

Lu Renxiang and Yin Ji heard him say that it was a guess, and the originally tense nerves breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Renxiang continued to ask: "Brother, how do you know?" ”

"Otherwise, the Queen Mother would not have come to me in person today, it seems that King Wei really has nothing to do. Nothing has happened yet, it's hard to say anything! But with what I know about King Wei, he can't give up. ”

Lu Renxiang asked curiously: "Will you be affected by that brother?" ”

Lu Zuo's originally plain face suddenly showed helplessness and anxiety, "It's hard to say......"

Yin Ji rolled up his sleeves, picked up his fist and slammed the table, and said with disdain: "I'm afraid that he will do something, whoever dares to come and arrest my master must first step on my corpse." ”

Lu Zuo then cared about Lu Renxiang and asked, "Is there an errand officer coming to you today?" ”

"Yes, yes, good news is also presented! This afternoon, I also paraded through the streets with the other test boys. Tomorrow at noon, the emperor will give a banquet, and all the tributes who should be on the list will have to participate! Lu Renxiang couldn't suppress his excitement, his face was full of joy, but he tried his best to restrain himself, after all, his brother's failure this time had something to do with him, and the champion of this list should have been his brother's.

Yin Ji asked with a smile: "Then won't the second brother be able to see the emperor tomorrow?" ”

"Huh!" Lu Renxiang smiled and waved his hand to indicate no, "This banquet is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor will not come forward." ”

"Then what official do you say the emperor will arrange for you next?" Yin Ji continued to ask innocently.

Lu Renxiang couldn't help but think about it for a moment at that moment, and then said: "What official still has to continue to participate in the examination presided over by the Ministry of Officials at the beginning of next month, and what position can be appointed by the Ministry of Officials who have passed the examination at that time?" ”

"Quan? What is the Quan Test? Yin Ji asked curiously.

"I don't even know if I try it!" Lu Renxiang mocked, and then explained, "That is, after the Juzi participates in the examination, the person who is named on the gold list is called a tribute, but in order to advance to become a court official, the tribute has to participate in another batch of examinations presided over by the Ministry of Officials, that is, the Quan Examination, and the Ministry of Officials will arrange where everyone will serve according to the results of the Quan Examination." This test is about body, speech, calligraphy, and judgment, that is, you will be judged by your appearance, speech, calligraphy, and words......"

Yin Ji hurriedly interrupted Lu Renxiang's words, "Okay, okay, I don't understand it, the world of you scholars is really complicated enough, this exam is much more complicated than passing the test, I don't want to read any broken books, and I don't understand that so many people fell off the list that day, some people cried like that, and some fainted in the exam, I think it's all one reason, that is, 'official obsession', you look at my master again, the most calm, but I don't care." Yin Ji looked at the master with admiration as he spoke.

Lu Zuo had been silent for a long time about this matter, and at this time he also asked Lu Renxiang: "Renxiang!" Did you send someone back to tell your mother the news of winning the list! ”

"Yes, yes!" Lu Renxiang smiled and nodded again and again, "The government sent someone to go, I have to see how the exam is, if I can stay in Kyoto as I wish if I do well in the exam, then I will buy a farm house here, and then I will take the old mother over, if it is sent to another county, then I will go back to my hometown and see the old mother." ”

Lu Zuo nodded with satisfaction, "Now you have to work hard, the revival of the Lu family depends on you." When he said this, Lu Zuo remembered what the master said to the old Zen master, you must survive these two months, but now it seems that it is difficult to survive these two months, what if you leave here? This thought has struggled in my heart more than once, but didn't everything I did before come to Jingshi go down the drain? At the moment, I can only take it step by step, and see the move.

Lu Renxiang saw that his brother was depressed, so he asked, "Brother, what will you do next?" Still staying in Kyoto? ”

"Hmm......" Lu Zuo nodded, "I can't go anywhere now, I came to Kyoto this time just to wade through this troubled water, Renxiang, you just have to participate in the Quanquan test, and let you do the rest." ”
