Chapter 112: The Day Before the Imperial Examination
"Father, today I heard that the queen summoned all the talents, including Luo Yao, Bai Shumo, Yu Mang, Zhang Gu, as well as our Cao family's four major academies, Junzi Xia, Luo Dingkun, Gong Li and others, including Qi Ren was also invited, among them, half of the talents of my Cao Mansion went."
Cao Chuanyu said that after half a month of recuperation, he was able to manage government affairs again, but he found that one after another major events of the Cao family had happened, such as Qi Zhi was able to stand with him today, and more importantly, the current Cao family's military salary has also been delayed, of course, the matter of his roots has also spread throughout Kyoto.
But before he saw his father, he would not go to the Beijing Gate, and other people's disgust could not defeat him.
At this time, Cao Guohan was silent, unable to see what he was thinking, nor could he detect his emotions.
At this time, Qi Ren said:
"The queen summoned now, and it is too late. Others go to see the wind and rudder, people who are truly loyal to the Cao family will definitely not go, for example, the subordinates and the four talented people of Kyoto have not gone, it can be seen that the queen invited all the people who have no real talent and real learning, and the rest of the queen's side is nothing more than Bai Shumo, who may be the supporter behind the Seven Kings, he also received the money of our Cao family, in Kyoto Cao family Sanwei, he dared not admit it! In addition, Yu Mang has been injured by the secret weapon of our Cao family, and escaped from Kyoto, and his life and death are unknown. That Luo Yao and Zhang Gu are straw bales again, the imperial examination the day after tomorrow is the question of Lord Fang, the most fair assessment in the world, not as simple as copying other people's poems, the Cao family has been laid out for so long, and it is natural to win the first place. ”
Cao Chuan Yu held back Qi Ren's glance, all of which were warnings, he didn't like Qi Ren's performance in front of his father so eye-catching, and said:
"After my father's imperial examination, I am afraid that the concubine will return to the imperial court, and now we are short of money, and we still have half of the money for the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households, and my father wants to prevent them from defecting."
The teacup in Cao Guohan's hand kept opening and closing, but he still didn't say a word, and he didn't look at Cao Chuanyu.
Cao Chuanyu's heart became even more anxious, which showed that his father had not forgiven him until now, so he said again:
"It is rumored outside that our Cao family has taken refuge in the queen with tens of millions of taels, and it is also rumored that my father is one of the three auxiliary ministers left by the emperor to the queen, and my father is afraid that the army will be unstable if he does not express his position!"
Cao Guohan still didn't speak.
Qi Ren interjected instead:
"The subordinates think that Cheng is the opposite, but he doesn't need to be in a hurry to express his position."
"Qi Ren, you have the right to speak here and there!"
After climbing the tree, he dared to go against himself, Cao Chuanyu scolded angrily.
"Tell me about it!"
Finally, Cao Guohan spoke, but only to Qi Ren, which made Cao Chuanyu's face even more ugly.
"If the prime minister doesn't say anything, isn't the prime minister in a hurry? As long as the prime minister continues not to express his position, it will be a disguised force to force Yu Ye to return to the dynasty, and he is still sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, which is too leisurely! ”
Qi Ren's words seemed to have hit Cao Guohan's heart, and Cao Guohan's opening and closing tea was finally a cup of tea.
Cao Chuan Yu saw that this was even more difficult for Qi Ren, this person was originally his subordinate, but now he does not keep his duty!
Absolutely not! Qi Ren's heart has risen to kill!
Cao Guohan asked:
"When will the Seven Kings reply to the message?"
Although it was Qi Ren who asked, Cao Chuanyu quickly replied:
"The message has been sent to the Seven Kings, and the message will be replied after seven days! If the Bai family did it privately, the king of heaven would not be able to save him! ”
He and Qi Ren both knew about this.
Cao Guohan said again:
"You will immediately take a guard to the Beijing Pass today!"
"Today?"
Qi Ren didn't expect to be in such a hurry.
"Father is worried that there will be an accident at the pass now?"
Cao Chuanyu immediately realized that if there was a big change in the DPRK and China, as long as the pass was not opened now, they would have three guards, and it would inevitably be the general trend of the imperial court, but if the pass was opened, the world's soldiers and horses would be able to enter Kyoto directly, and their advantage would not be there at that time.
"Got it!"
Cao Chuanyu immediately knelt down and retired, he delayed his father's major event, no wonder he was so indifferent, he had to go to the current pass as soon as possible.
"Subordinates retire!"
Qi Ren was a little dignified, Cao Xiang let himself be Cao Chuanyu's staff assistant, but now it is difficult to say whether Cao Chuanyu will use him.
After exiting, Cao Chuanyu and Qi Ren went one after the other, and when they arrived at the barracks, everyone looked at the two of them, one was Cao Chuanyu who had no roots, and the other was Qi Ren, a rising star in the Cao family, and everyone saluted both of them.
Cao Chuanyu's eyes showed a cold light, and he said to Qi:
"General Ben has doubts."
There was a pause in his words, and Qi Ren's eyes also flashed with a cold light that was imperceptible, and then immediately explained:
"The general is too worried! Qi Ren is promoted by the general, and he must look forward to the general's horse. ”
"How do you prove it?"
Cao Chuanyu immediately spoke in a fierce tone, deliberately so that the surrounding generals could see the confrontation between him and Qi Ren.
Qi Ren immediately knelt down in front of the generals without hesitation and said:
"My subordinates are really the generals, as always, and the prime minister's liver and brains! No other intentions! ”
Cao Chuan Yu said coldly to Qi Ren:
"In the past few days, you have often drunk with the general's subordinates, and between your words, you call you brother and brother, and you say that you have no other intentions!"
After speaking, he walked onto the Xuanwu platform, so that everyone could see them more.
As soon as Qi Ren gritted his teeth, he immediately knelt and crawled over, his head kept down, and he raised three fingers in his hands, as if vowing:
"Drinking with my brothers is just a pastime, and I have no other intentions."
Cao Chuan Yu sneered, suddenly grabbed Qi Ren's hair, in front of all the soldiers, and then raised the sword in his hand high, put it on his neck, and raised it high, back and forth a few times, his eyes were full of provocation.
Only Qi Ren's body was trembling during the process.
Cao Chuan Yu laughed,
"See, General Ben wants to kill you, and that soldier dares to stop you! You're just a dog from my Cao family. Haha....."
After speaking, he let go of Qi Ren.
Without further ado, I went to dispatch troops.
The soldiers will whisper.
Qi Ren's face did not change, and he gritted his teeth in a low tone: "I hate it when others make me dress up!" ”
At noon, Cao Jiayiwei secretly went to the current pass.
......
Late at night.
"Don't you know that the father is a person, tens of thousands of poor families, the people of the world trust him as his father, and let the father assist the emperor to become the deputy judge of the imperial examination, because his father is trusted by the world for what he says and does, even if he is willing to let his father come out of the last test in Kyoto!"
Fang Gang turned around and ignored Fang Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground.
"The child also knows, but the emperor said to the child yesterday that it is impossible for the child to ask his father to give the exam questions! It's just that as a subordinate, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven! ”
After speaking, Fang Zheng stood up, picked up his 'backing' gun and said:
"Take care of your father, take your child's leave!"
Just as he was about to leave, Fang Gang asked:
"The emperor asked you to come?"
"Yes! The child knows that his father is a human being, but the emperor has to obey it! ”
"Who is the test question for?"
Fang Gang continued with doubts in his eyes.
"Give the test questions to Luo Yao! He is my brother to the emperor. ”
Founder does not hide either.
"The people of Xianjian Mountain, military generals? To be a civil servant? What the emperor thinks, Weichen doesn't understand! ”
Fang Gang shook his head.
"The child doesn't understand, and even the children who came today think it's in vain, but the emperor still insists on doing so, I don't understand."
Fang Zheng knew that he couldn't stay any longer, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
And Fang Gang turned around and said:
"You go to the Beijing gate this time and leave four words for your father." Then he wrote four words on the desk: "Look at it and then you leave." ”
After speaking, Fang Gang exited the study first.
Founder arched his hand:
"Yes, father."
When Fang Zheng arrived at the desk, when he saw it, the words were like angry people, vigorous and powerful:
"Qiankun Spiegel!"
These four words made Fang Zheng wonder, did his father make himself like him?
Just about to leave, where I looked, under the mirror of the desk, there was a letter with a palace seal.
Fang Zheng was shocked in his heart, there was something under this mirror.
Fang Zheng picked up the letter and looked at it in his heart, and couldn't help but be excited, Qiankun meant this under the mirror.
Grab the letter, put it on your chest, and leave.
.....
"My father has been upright all his life, why did the emperor give it to me?"
Fang Zheng was puzzled, at this time Long Zaiyuan and Luo Yao were there.
"Because you're his only son."
Luo Yao was excited, he was hopeful for the imperial examination the day after tomorrow.
Long Zaiyuan took the test questions, and he looked at ten lines.
Luo Yao asked, what is the emperor's test question.
Fang Zheng has said: "I have read this test question, it is the way to govern the country!" ”
Luo Yao looked confused: "What is the way to govern the country?" ”
Long Zaiyuan, who knew the trend of history, naturally knew how to govern the country, but he couldn't reveal it, so he said:
"We still have one day, Fang Zheng, you help him write, Luo Yao, you give me these two days to prepare for the exam! Yu Ni said, if you are really admitted to the imperial examination, I will meet you! ”
After Long Zaiyuan finished speaking, Luo Yao, who was left with a confused face, returned to the gods:
"If you got in, didn't you marry me?"
Fang Zheng clasped his hands and said:
"I also want to take this opportunity to see what I have learned, and I can rank first in Kyoto, second brother, I will write it tomorrow, and you have to write it down word for word."
Luo Yao was shocked, he couldn't read and write, he could recite the twenty-six letters taught by the emperor, but what could he do when he wrote? How could he write down the crooked words!
