The scenery in spring is always very Yiren, whether it is watching willows along the river, or stepping on the spring, it is a good place to go.

People can always feel the vitality in the endless spring.

Invite three or five friends, bring a pot of turbid wine, sit on the ground, look at the spring, accompanied by majesty, drink and have fun, very comfortable.

The irritability that has been suppressed for a winter will disappear in an instant.

It's just that Kou Ji didn't have the intention of stepping into spring, he stayed in the house, enjoying Xiang Yan pinching his shoulders and beating his legs for him, tasting a cup of tea, and taking a look at the spring color in the garden, which was enough.

In fact, Kou Ji didn't have the intention of going to the spring, but Cao Tong and Liu Heng were not in Bianjing City, and Xiang Yan could only accompany him in the house for one or two hours every day, and it was impossible to spend a day accompanying him to the spring.

Xiang Minzhong's body bones seem to be infected with the vitality in the spring, after the beginning of spring, he actually got a lot better, and he stayed with Xiang Yan, and no longer urged Xiang Yan to add his great-grandson, and Xiang Yan also had the heart to accompany him for a few days.

Kou Ji naturally couldn't stop Xiang Yan from doing his filial piety.

Cao Tong went out of Beijing to investigate and deal with corruption.

When the Ministry of Industry introduced the new plows, even though Kou Ji was fully prepared to prevent exploitation, there were still exploitations.

As an official of the Criminal Department, Cao Tong is a close friend of Kou Ji, so he naturally has to come forward to investigate and deal with corruption.

When An Ziluo returned to Qingtang, Liu Heng followed An Ziluo to Qingtang.

Although Liu Mei only allowed Liu Heng to give An Ziluo's sister the identity of a concubine, Liu Heng regarded An Ziluo's sister as a wife.

Since the girl is regarded as a wife, whether it is before marriage or after marriage, you can't hide from going to Qingtang.

Of course, Liu Heng's trip to Qingtang was not just to visit the elders of An Ziluo's family in Qingtang.

After going to Qingtang with her pregnancy, she held a wedding with An Ziluo's sister when she was married to a Qingtang person, and she wanted to marry An Ziluo's sister in Qingtang as a wife.

Liu Heng told Kou Ji about this secretly, but he didn't tell anyone else, including his father Liu Mei.

The two best friends both left Bianjing, and Kou Ji was not close to other people, so he was naturally reluctant to go out.

Wang Yunsheng and other subordinate officials of the Ministry of Industry are acting in accordance with Kou Ji's plan, everything is safe and stable, and there is no obstacle encountered, so Kou Ji does not need to go to the Ministry of Industry to sit in the government to deal with official business.

So Kou Ji is too lazy to be a salted fish in the house.

I have fun with pandas every day.

Of course, Kou Ji is idle, which does not mean that the officials in Bianjing City are also idle.

Instead.

During Kou Jiqing's idle days, there were many major events in Bianjing City, and the officials were very busy.

At the end of the month.

News came out of the inner court, claiming that the three rulers of the inner court intended to reformulate the ban and prepare to turn some of the court's bans into national law.

For example, some secrets such as important military blockages, city defense maps, ordnance armaments, secret news of military aircraft, and the dispatch of soldiers and horses are not allowed to appear in any books, letters, paintings, scrolls, etc., which are not official documents of the imperial court, until the imperial court has not explicitly announced them to the world.

The imperial court originally had this ban, but after a long time, there was no prescriptive punishment, so it was deliberately forgotten by the government and the opposition.

Now the imperial court is preparing to include this prohibition in the national law, and also gives a prescriptive punishment.

The corresponding provisions of the national law are also revealed.

However, in non-official documents of the imperial court, those who leak major events of military aircraft, secrets of the imperial court, and matters prohibited by the imperial court will be given 30 rods and a thousand miles, and the three clans will be connected at the worst.

As soon as this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.

Some civil servants, after hearing the news, immediately wrote a letter to defend themselves, and even dug up the shadow of Kou Ji in this matter, so they wrote a letter to impeach Kou Ji, and the evil words confuse the public.

There are also some people who invited some Confucians, who became famous by leaking major events of military aircraft and writing books and saying that the secret news of the imperial court, entered Bianjing City and challenged Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, and Li Di.

Someone even invited Zhang Zhen, Wang Zeng's mentor who taught in Tongli Town when he was young, to come forward and refute Wang Zeng in person.

The ministers are making a fuss, and the scholars are not idle.

Some scholars who are good at writing books and speaking upright, encouraging other readers, running and shouting in Bianjing City every day, opening their eyes for those civil servants, scolding Kou Ji for his demons and confusing the public, and even Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, and Li Di also scolded.

Under their uproar, Bianjing City became very lively.

Under their trouble, Kou Zhun and the three of them neither punished them ruthlessly, nor did they come forward to explain anything, but just let them make trouble.

The three of Kou Zhun did not explain or punish, and the same was true for Kou Ji.

Anyway, no matter how fierce those people are, it is impossible for them to break into the Kou Mansion to make trouble.

If they really broke into the Kou Mansion to make trouble, then Kou Ji would have a reason to go to the imperial court, mobilize the forbidden army, and kill them cleanly.

Of course, Kou Ji's failure to explain or punish does not mean that he does not hold grudges.

When Kou Ji was in the most violent trouble among the scholars and scholars, he ordered the people of Kou Mansion to go out and help him collect two lists.

One is a list of the writers who made trouble, and the other is a list of the scholars who made trouble.

The list of the troublesome ministers, Kou Ji directly made people lose all of them in the palace and sent them to Kou Zhun's case.

The list of those troublesome readers, Kou Ji held tightly in his hands.

The reason why Kou Ji kept this list in his hands was because he was one of the deputy examiners of the upcoming Spring Festival held by this department.

Kou Ji's intentions are clear.

Love to make a fuss, despite the fuss.

Don't fall into my hands, if it falls into my hands, I'll let you know what it means to have a big stroke of the pen and fall into Sun Mountain.

It's been the beginning of February.

The inner court's deliberate attempt to turn some injunctions into national law has not yet been over.

The 'human animal' thing followed the uproar.

A group of sub-officials, on the grounds of 'taking people as animals, and scholars do not do anything', took advantage of the east wind of those civil servants and scholars who were making trouble for the inner court to deliberately turn the ban into national law, and made a fuss about it.

Time.

Bianjing City became even more noisy.

The three of Kou Zhun turned a deaf ear to this and let them make trouble.

The same is true of Koji.

It's not that the four of them are incapable of handling the matter.

With the status of the four of them, as well as the means.

No matter who makes a move, they can solve the noisy ministers and scholars in Bianjing.

It's just that none of them made a move.

They watched quietly as the people made a fuss.

……

Time flies.

By the beginning of March.

The noisy readers in Bianjing City changed their tone overnight.

The voices of those who scolded Kou Ji, Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, and Li Di disappeared overnight.

Instead, there were compliments.

The readers racked their brains and used all kinds of gorgeous words, praising Kou Ji and Kou Zhun over and over again.

They scolded Kou Ji and Kou Zhun for how ruthless they were before, and now they praise how fierce they are.

That's why it is.

That's because the Wenchen who instigated them to make trouble before didn't pull Kou Ji and Li Di from their examiner positions as promised and replace them themselves.

There are still three days before the start of the spring school.

There has been no change in the identity of Kou Ji and Li Di as examiners.

The only difference is that Xue Tian, one of the three examiners in the autumn of Kaifeng Mansion, did not serve as the examiner of the spring fu.

Rather, an official named Ma Yuanfang, became one of the three examiners.

Kou Ji was not very familiar with this official named Ma Yuanfang.

After carefully checking his past, I realized that he was a character.

This person is not a big name in history, but he is a rare temperament.

Ma Yuanfang, born during the period of Taizu Jianlong, is a native of Juancheng, Puzhou.

Chunhua three years into the scholar and the first, has served in many positions, the official to the matter, the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng, and then to the privy direct bachelor to know the state, and then move the military department of the Lang.

This person's official position is the same as Kou Ji's, but this person's false title is much higher than Kou Ji's.

The reason why this person is said to be a person of temperament is because this person has done two things that only a person of temperament can do.

Even now, it has been used as a talking point after tea.

One of them is that when this person was young, his father served as a supervisor with the army during Taizong's Northern Expedition, and when he attacked Youzhou City, he was captured and killed by the Liao people because he ran out of grain and grass and could not catch up with the army.

This man shaved his hair and acted as a monk, searching for his father's body for many years.

The second is that after entering the office, when he served as the Jingdong transit envoy, when he was inspecting Puzhou, Jiang Xin, the governor of Puzhou, set up a feast to entertain him, and he was beaten by him.

It's probably Jiang Xin's house, when he was in Puzhou, he didn't sobt the people's fat and people's ointment, and then entertained Ma Yuanfang with the people's fat and people's ointment, Ma Yuanfang couldn't help the anger in his heart and beat him.

What happened to Jiang Xin's guy in the end, Kou Ji didn't investigate it carefully.

But because of this, Ma Yuanfang was demoted to the governor of Suzhou.

It is precisely because of these two incidents that Kou Ji feels that Ma Yuanfang is a man of temperament.

……

The seventh day of the third month.

Kou Ji was under Xiang Yan's service early in the morning, wearing an official uniform, he pinched a list in his hand, looked at the names of the readers one after another on it, and said faintly: "Don't look at the fun now, be careful to pull the list in the future...... What a wise saying...... Hey...... Now it's time to pull the list......"

Can I scold whoever wants to scold?

Don't you know that I am a man who will repay me before you scold me?

"Xianggong...... What is a pull-list ......"

Xiang Yan helped Kou Ji put on his official uniform and asked.

Kou Ji put away the list and smiled indifferently, "It's nothing...... In the past few days, the husband has to be busy in the tribute courtyard, and you will have to worry about the affairs of the house. ”

Xiang Yan smiled and said, "The concubine understands ......"

Koji pinched her cheek and walked out of the room with her angry look on her face.

Koji rode in a carriage all the way to the Gongyuan.

The gate of the Gongyuan has long been full of people who have come to participate in the Spring Expedition.

Among them, the most sassy is Liu Yong.

The people who were sent to the exam were either parents, wives and children, or handsome little maids, pretty maids, only Liu Yong.

Beside her, Yingying Yanyan surrounded a large number of Qinglou women.

Some Oiran ladies who are rarely seen on weekdays can only wander around the outer circle in Liu Yong's examination team.

Close to Liu Yong's side, there are only a few talented and beautiful Qing people.

The entrance of the Tribute Temple.

But all men, whenever they saw the warblers and Yanyan around Liu Yong, they all showed envious looks, and then secretly poked and poked on the ground, and shouted loudly.

"Insulting Sven!"

“……”

As Kou Ji, before the exam, he shouldn't have been too close to a certain candidate.

But he looked at Liu Yong's side with a little too many warblers and Yanyan, and he couldn't help it.

"Bang ......"

Koji lifted the curtains on the carriage and banged the wall of the carriage with a clang.

"You're blocking your way......"

Kou Ji yelled.

When the women heard this, they glanced sideways at him, unimpressed.

They are all stunning, and the officials who drill under their skirts on weekdays do not know how many.

There are even some important ministers in the court, who are also frequent guests in their rooms.

So they really don't care much about some ordinary officials.

It's just that......

Is Kou Ji an ordinary official?

Apparently not.

Those women didn't recognize Kou Ji's identity for a while, it didn't mean that Liu Yong couldn't recognize it.

When Kou Ji's voice sounded, Liu Yong immediately looked at Kou Ji and recognized Kou Ji.

There was hardly any hesitation.

Liu Yong pushed away the warbler Yanyan beside him, came to Kou Ji's side, and bowed down.

"Student Liu Yong, I have seen the ...... of the Kou Gong Department"

The women saw Yoo Yong salute Kou Ji as a student, and they also heard Yoo Yong call Kou Ji's official position, and immediately knew Kou Ji's identity.

One by one, they hurriedly got out of the way of the Koji carriage.

There was only one woman, standing beside Liu Yong, bowing to Kou Ji, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Cheap concubine, I have seen the ...... of Kou Gong."

Kou Ji was slightly stunned and looked at the insect girl.

The insect girl looks very beautiful, and among the women, she belongs to the older column.

He was about twenty-five years old.

There is not a trace of wind and dust on his body.

It's like a well-informed lady.

It's no wonder that Liu Yong will take him as a lover among thousands of flowers.

Kou Ji nodded incomprehensibly to the insect girl, his eyes fell on Liu Yong, and said lightly: "You failed the exam three times in a row, it's not unreasonable......"

Liu Yong was shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning, and stared at Kou Ji with a stunned expression.

The insect girl's face turned pale.

The rest of the women stared at Kou Ji with angry eyes.

Kou Ji didn't say anything more, put down the curtains on the car window, and indifferently ordered, "Let's go......"

The coachman set up the carriage and floated away under the angry gaze of the women.

Liu Yong's mouth trembled a little, and asked the insect girl in a low voice, "Kou Gong said this, is it not intended to win me?" ”

The insect girl stepped forward with a pale face, held Liu Yong's hand, and said in a lamented voice: "If even he refuses to take you, you ...... in this life."

The latter words, the worm girl did not continue.

But the meaning of her words is self-evident.

If an extraordinary person like Kou Ji doesn't take Zhongliu Yong, then Liu Yong will not think about Zhongjinshi in this life.
