"Alarmist!"

Li Di immediately opened his mouth to refute.

Li Di didn't think that with ministers like him, Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng and other ministers to assist the officials, the Great Song Dynasty would be reduced to a racecourse for the Western Xia and Liao people.

Kou Ji sighed secretly and didn't speak again.

Ma Yuanfang suddenly opened his mouth and relieved the siege for Kou Ji, "Li Xiang, even though the Kou Gong Department has played some tricks, it has not done anything to harm the people and the imperial court.

He didn't violate the law of the land, but you are so aggressive, isn't it a bit excessive? ”

Li Di glared and looked at Ma Yuanfang, "The old man is excessive?" He plays with people's hearts, unscrupulous means to achieve his goals, can't the old man question it? ”

Ma Yuanfang glanced at Li Di and smiled sarcastically, exposing Li Di's lies.

"When it comes to playing with people's hearts, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who doesn't play with people's hearts? In order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, even more countless? Why don't you reprimand others, but instead stare at a junior who has made great contributions to the country and the people.

At the end of the day, it's the work of the Ministry of Labor, out of your control.

Those of you who hold great power in the court always want to hold all the things in the world in the palm of your hand.

But if someone jumps out of your palm, you are not happy. ”

When Ma Yuanfang said this, he paused, stared at Li Di playfully, and said: "But have you ever thought about how many things in the world can really be held in the palm of your hand?"

If you can really control everything and want to be in the palm of your hand, where are the poor people in the world? Where does the sorrow come from?

You also bullied and bullied the Ministry of Labor.

He who knows that people are young and respectful to you will not calculate your ......."

Li Di scolded angrily: "Ma Yuanfang! ”

Ma Yuanfang saw that Li Di was angry, and said without being salty: "What? Was the old man said that he was in his mind, and he was annoyed and angry? ”

Li Di shouted: "I, Li Di, am not that kind of person!" ”

Ma Yuanfang sneered, stared at Li Di, and asked: "That Wang Qinruo is also a master of playing with people's hearts, and his methods are several times more ruthless than those of the Kou Gong Department. What's more, he plays with people's hearts for personal gain, why don't you question him? ”

Li Di gritted his teeth and said, "Naturally, I won't let go of Wang Qinruo!" ”

"Hehe......"

Ma Yuanfang smiled mockingly: "Come on." The worst person who was framed by Wang Qinruo back then was Kou Zhun. Now that Kou Zhun is in the position of chief regent, and he can't declare a personal vendetta against Wang Qinruo, what can you do with others? ”

Li Di was just about to open his mouth to refute.

I saw Ma Yuanfang waving his hand and muttering: "A person who helps the court in a down-to-earth manner is strictly guarded by you, and it is not as comfortable as those traitorous villains."

Those traitors and villains in the court were forced out step by step by you.

Can't we be less suspicious, less intrigued, and do more for the people? ”

After listening to Ma Yuanfang's words, Li Di sat there with a gloomy face, without saying a word.

Ma Yuanfang said the truth, he didn't understand.

It's just that he is in a high position, and he can't do many things according to his own ideas and his own temperament.

More often than not, the safety of the royal family has to be considered.

When the safety of the royal family was threatened, even if a great good thing had befallen him, he had to intervene to stop it.

Seeing that Li Di was silent, Ma Yuanfang said nonchalantly: "The old man doesn't care about the plans of the Kou Gong Ministry, and he doesn't care that he has been pulled into the bureau by the Kou Gong Ministry.

The old man only cares if the people are profiting because of the plan of the Ministry of Kougong.

If the people profit because of the plan of the Ministry of Kougong, and the old man is calculated by the Ministry of Kougong once, what does it matter?

If the Ministry of Kou Gong has the means to make there be no poor people in the world, even if the old man is calculated to death by the Ministry of Kou Gong, when he reaches the Yin Division, he will not say a word of complaint from the Ministry of Kou Gong. ”

Li Di got up suddenly, glanced at Ma Yuanfang and Kou Ji, and left the hall with a cold face.

Seeing this, Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry.

Ma Yuanfang didn't care at all whether his words offended Li Di today, he looked at Kou Ji, and said with a smack: "Boy, now have you realized a little bit of the truth that good people are difficult to do?" ”

Kou Ji stretched out his hand and gestured, "A little bit ......"

Ma Yuanfang nodded, "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be a good person. Being a good person is far more difficult than being a bad person, and at the same time, you have to endure a hundred times the hardship.

But we can't give up being a good person just because there are too many difficulties and too many tribulations.

As long as you have a good heart, you don't have to care about the way you do things, and you don't have to care about the voices of others. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, bowed to Ma Yuanfang, and said solemnly: "Thank you Ma Gong for teaching......"

Ma Yuanfang said the truth, Kou Ji also understands.

Even he's been doing it all the time.

But that doesn't stop him from giving a gift to an elder who is willing to teach him sincerely.

Ma Yuanfang smiled and waved his hand, "No need to be polite...... Li Di's stubborn donkey, I'm afraid it will be difficult to figure it out for a while. The old man is too old to stay up for too long, so in recent days, I will trouble you to run in the examination room a few more times. ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and said, "Don't bother......"

Ma Yuanfang nodded with satisfaction, got up with a cane in one hand, beat his back with the other, and walked out with a broken chatter in his mouth.

"Old old old ...... Can't stay up all night......"

“……”

After Ma Yuanfang left, Kou Ji was left alone in the hall.

Kou Ji stared at the door of the hall and said faintly: "Although I have angered Grandpa Li, my plan has been completed, and it is almost time to harvest......"

As Ma Yuanfang said, it is difficult to be a good person.

When good people do good deeds, there are always times when they are misunderstood.

But when the results come out, all misunderstandings will be solved.

It was impossible for Kou Ji to stop his plan because of Li Di's anger.

……

Without Li Di and Ma Yuanfang, Kou Ji took on the heavy responsibility of the examination alone.

Although there are subordinate officials available, Kou Ji still likes to patrol the examination room by himself.

Of course.

He chose to inspect the examination room in person, not because he was loyal to his duty, but for the sake of personal vendetta to the public.

Kou Ji is not Kou Zhun, and he can tolerate enemies like Wang Qinruo jumping in front of him.

The students who released rumors and slandered him before, as long as they were in the examination room, he would not let any of them go.

He checked the list and roster in his hand one by one and found the exam numbers of those students.

Then, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

From time to time, I pass in front of those students.

Occasionally, something loud will fall from the body.

Whenever he passed by those students, or after something loud fell from his body, those students would chuckle in their hearts.

Those students have spread rumors about him and slandered him.

When facing him, he was already empty-hearted.

If he is making some noise, how can those students still have the heart to answer the questions?

The splendid articles in their heads, as Kou Ji passed by again and again, interrupted again and again, and finally all became a mess.

How can the article written be satisfactory.

Except for one or two people who have strong resistance to pressure, most of the people who offended Kou Ji fell off the list, which is normal.

As for whether they can be selected in the next subject, it depends on Kou Ji's mood.

Although Kou Ji will not necessarily become an examiner in the next subject.

But he still has a way to make those students famous.

Boring scientific expeditions.

It ended in a few days.

The students rushed out of the Tribute Academy with a sigh of relief.

The officials in the Gongyuan were in the busiest state.

Li Di, who had been stuffy in the room for a few days, finally appeared in front of people.

When Kou Ji saw Li Di again, he found that Li Di was obviously a little emaciated, and there was more red blood in his eyes.

When he saw Kou Ji, he didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he nodded and entered the roll room.

After the three examiners and more than a dozen subordinate officials arrived, after Li Di had spoken a long list of vigilant words, they began to read the papers.

The process of grading the papers is similar to that of the autumn season.

Everyone was almost all looking at their papers.

Occasionally, when I came across one or two papers that I couldn't grasp, I would take them out and discuss them with others.

"This volume is brilliantly written, and he is a great talent!"

Among the subordinate officials who read the papers, some people were attracted by a test paper and couldn't help but praise it.

The rest of the people looked sideways.

Seeing this, the subordinate officer who read the paper did not show any twisting, but praised the test paper in his hand.

"Colleagues, this volume is of the highest quality in terms of pen and ink alone. Not to mention the content of the article......"

The rest of the people leaned over and took a closer look.

Someone stared at the volume, stroked his beard, and exclaimed: "Just by looking at the pen power, you can know that this person is quite successful in publishing books, and the articles are even more outstanding." On the pros and cons of the imperial court's abolition of the border army and the government, it hit the nail on the head.

It's a masterpiece. ”

"The poems are also excellent...... To tell you the truth, his poems are quite aura, and even if I am against him, I dare not say that I can win......"

“……”

Words of praise came out of the mouths of the subordinate officials who read the papers.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of Li Di, Ma Yuanfang, and Kou Ji, who were sitting in the back room waiting for the final trial.

Li Di instructed the little official beside him: "What a talented article that has attracted so much admiration from them, you go and get it and let the three of me see it." ”

The little official agreed, went out of the back room, and took the roll to Li Di and the others.

Li Di took the scroll from the little official's hand, just glanced at it, and threw it aside.

Seeing Li Di's abnormal behavior, Ma Yuanfang curiously picked up the scroll, reviewed it carefully, and said suspiciously: "Li Xiang, this person is quite literary and knows a lot about the affairs of the imperial court, why do you disdain his scroll." ”

Li Di said without being salty or light: "The literary style is good, but the character is extremely poor." Even if we take him, we will be expelled from the temple when the time comes to the temple examination. The old man doesn't want to see that such a grand event as my Great Song Imperial Examination was ruined in the hands of this person. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he roughly knew who made the scroll in Ma Yuanfang's hand.

There must be no doubt that it will be Yoo Yong.

Ma Yuanfang said with a puzzled face: "Li Xiang can determine who this person is just by his calligraphy?" ”

The imperial examination was based on a vague name system.

Generally, it is difficult to determine whose the volume belongs without opening the name.

Pen and ink calligraphy can certainly determine who made the scroll, but it is not accurate.

Therefore, after the implementation of the name obfuscation system, some people came up with a cheating method of making a secret mark on the paper.

It's just that Li Di obviously doesn't like this person, and obviously has no idea of helping this person cheat.

How could this person leave a secret mark for Li Di to discover?

Li Di stared at the scroll in Ma Yuanfang's hand and snorted coldly, "His handwriting, the old man has seen it three times." and the poignant and terrible in his poems, the old man's ears were calloused.

How could the old man not know who he was? ”

Ma Yuanfang was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly said: "Liu Sanchang? ”

Li Di nodded deeply.

Ma Yuanfang casually dropped the roll in his hand, stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "That's really not advisable......

Ma Yuanfang didn't deliberately defeat Liu Yong.

It's that he really has a prejudice against Yoo Yong.

Ma Yuanfang agrees with Li Di's statement.

He felt that Liu Yong had a problem with his character.

He is not jealous that Liu Yong is surrounded by many beauties, he really feels that Liu Yong's character is problematic from Liu Yong's behavior.

What's the problem?

Disloyalty and unfilial piety.

What is the official family?

That's the Father.

The monarch doesn't like you, and if you say two words, you have to accept it with an open heart.

Instead of making poems, to hype up the monarch's father and his lack of talent.

You are the people of your father.

In front of the public, he made poems and publicized that his father did not know talents.

If you do such an unfaithful and unfilial thing, who will like you?

It's good if I didn't kill you.

Still want to be hit?

Kou Ji picked up Liu Yong's roll in the cold faces of Li Di and Ma Yuanfang.

The eyes of Li Di and Ma Yuanfang fell on Kou Ji in an instant.

Kou Ji carefully reviewed Liu Yong's volume, and couldn't help but admire: "It's indeed a brilliant ......."

Kou Ji didn't deliberately praise him in order to help Liu Yong win the middle.

Koji was telling the truth.

Because so far, even he can't understand the article, except for some important ministers in the court, there are only Fan Zhongyan and Liu Yong.

On the one hand, it shows that Kou Ji is unlearned.

On the other hand, it shows that those who write articles have studied books and scriptures to a very high level.

Li Di saw Kou Ji praising Liu Yong's article, and couldn't help but speak: "Could it be that you plan to risk the world's disapproval and take this person who claims to be your student?" ”

Kou Ji pinched Liu Yong's roll and groaned a little.

Let's be honest.

Liu Yong, as a celebrity in history, now appears in front of him, and he has a little bit of a heart.

But considering Liu Yong's reputation and Liu Yong's style, he was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Ma Yuanfang said earnestly: "The old man has to remind you that once you take him, you will inevitably be impeached by the officials." ”

Li Di gritted his teeth, and finally spoke, "This person speaks recklessly, if he says something arrogant after winning the middle, or after he enters the office, he says something disagreeable."

When the time comes, it will affect you.

It's not a bad thing to cherish talents, but in order to help others, it is not a good thing to burden yourself. ”
