Especially after the servant sent by Kou Ji to deliver the message came back and told Kou Ji about Liu Yong and Worm Niang's respective reactions, Kou Ji was even more reluctant to praise Liu Yong.

The reason why Kou Ji was still willing to see Liu Yong was purely a servant in the house, and he described the insect girl too well, which made him feel pity, so he met Liu Yong as promised.

Others don't know what Liu Yong will do in the future, but Kou Ji does.

After Liu Yong's gang failed several times, he had a big fight with the insect girl, left the insect girl, and went out to wander around alone.

There is not much ink on the historical records of the insect mother.

But thinking about it, with the background of the insect girl, after being abandoned by Liu Yong, the end should not be too good.

From the description of the servants in the mansion just now, Kou Ji learned that in order to bribe the servants in the mansion, the insect girl took the silver hairpin on her head, which means that she has been living in the dust for many years and has not accumulated a lot of savings.

Liu Yong's background is not bad, and when he goes in and out of the land of fireworks and willow lane, not only does he not have to spend money, but he will also make money.

Presumably, there is no shortage of money to spend.

But it's obvious that he hasn't given the worm any money to spend.

Otherwise, how could the insect girl bribe people with personal things.

A woman from a dusty background, with no money and wealth, but she is very good-looking, how can she have a good end in the tiger and wolf land of Bianjing City?

Although the insect girl has a bad background, after she followed Liu Yong, she broke off those styles and habits in the wind and dust, and served Liu Yong wholeheartedly.

Worry about Yoo Yong everywhere.

can be regarded as a woman with affection and righteousness.

Such a woman, if Kou Ji hadn't bumped into her, what would happen to her, Kou Ji wouldn't have to pay attention to it.

But now that I have bumped into it, I naturally have to help one or two.

It is not easy for a dusty woman to cut the dust, and it is even more difficult to be affectionate and righteous.

It's not an exaggeration to call a strange woman.

Liu Yong didn't know what Kou Ji was thinking, but when Kou Ji was taunting him with the insect girl again, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "If you really have the guts, just send me to the land of the tiger and wolf, if I frown, I won't be called Liu Yong."

But don't use the worm girl to taunt me. ”

Kou Ji sneered: "It's true that you Liu Yong is famous, but you are not an official of the imperial court. I'll find a reason to send you to the land of tigers and wolves, and no one will come forward to protect you.

You want to protect yourself by the law of the country, but you also want to see if the law of the country protects you. ”

Liu Yong's eyes narrowed, and he was about to retort.

Kou Ji didn't have much intention of fighting with him, patted the table slightly, shocked Liu Yong, blocked Liu Yong's words back into his stomach, and continued: "It's not fake that you Liu Yong is talented, and it's not fake that you're famous, but you don't understand the world, you only think that you are talented, and you can be proud of everything." But up and down the government and the opposition, there are many people who are more talented than you, and they still have to be people with their tails between them, why are you Liu Yong arrogant? ”

"What is the official family, Father Jun. The monarch is disgusted with you, and when he says a few words about you, you make a poem, complain indiscriminately, and slander the monarch's father, who knows no one and no one knows. You feel that you are happy, and you tell the whole world that you have grievances in your heart.

But have you ever thought that this move is an act of disloyalty and unfilial piety?

If you are disloyal and unfilial, you will become an unfaithful and unfilial person.

Up and down the government and the opposition, who will take a disloyal and unfilial person as a jinshi?

Who? ”

Liu Yong trembled and looked at Kou Ji in disbelief.

Kou Ji said this to no one else.

Others apparently knew about it as well.

But no one told him.

Why didn't they tell him?

They were just waiting for him to participate in the imperial examination again and again, hit a wall again and again, fail again and again, and watch him laugh again and again.

Kou Ji didn't care about Liu Yong's reaction, and continued: "Everyone knows something, but no one tells you? Why? That's because you are arrogant, your eyes are above the top, and if you don't put other people in your eyes, people will naturally not take you in your eyes.

If you offend others, you will be fine.

But you are so arrogant that you have blinded yourself.

What anyone with a discerning eye can see, you don't.

After failing again and again, he went to compose lyrics and poems again, and continued to be disloyal and unfilial.

If I do not call my servant to stop you today, will a poem that mocks me come out of your mouth?

But have you ever thought that before that, you used to call yourself a student in front of countless people, in front of me. ”

Liu Yong's body shook again, his eyes widened little by little, and his pupils shrank, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

The insect girl looked distressed.

But Koji didn't let her speak, she didn't dare to speak.

For fear of colliding with Kou Ji and bringing some adverse impact to Liu Yong.

Kou Ji didn't care about Liu Yong's reaction at all, and continued: "For the sake of you calling yourself a student in front of me, I also mentioned you. Just before I stepped into the Tribute Temple.

I reminded you, and I would like to see you Yoo Yong do something.

Let me see that you, Yoo Yong, have truly realized your mistakes and really have a chance to mend your ways.

But you didn't do anything? ”

"It's really that good to be sought after by thousands of women? Do you know how many of those women are praised by the important ministers of the court, and how many dignitaries are their ministers under their skirts?

You don't know......

Maybe you know, and you're proud of it......

But you don't know that your actions have offended half of the officials in the court.

Even if I take you, you won't be able to get along in the court.

In the end, he will only be played to death by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, like playing with an ant. ”

"If you dismissed those women on the spot, and devoted yourself to the scientific expedition, so that I could see your determination, how could I not take you?"

"But what about you?"

"Didn't do anything......"

"How old are you? Three-year-olds? ”

"Did you live to be a dog at a few decades old?"

“……”

"That's it, are you embarrassed to be arrogant, look down on others, and always feel that others are unfair to you?"

“……”

Kou Ji's words pierced the heart.

Liu Yong's heart has long been scarred by Kou Ji.

"Puff ......"

He fell to the ground, his eyes full of despair.

Before Liu Yong, he was blind.

So all sorts of insolence.

Now that Kou Ji has uncovered the leaves that stand in his way, how can he be arrogant.

"Puff ......"

The insect girl puffed, knelt in front of Kou Ji, with tears in her eyes, and begged: "Concubine begging for a son, give Liu Lang a chance......"

Kou Ji stared at the insect girl with a faint gaze, and said lightly: "I give him a chance?" So what can he give me? Or rather, what can you give me? ”

The insect mother looked at Liu Yong as if she had lost her soul, and her heart was distressed, she trembled and begged: "The concubine is willing to be a cow and a horse for the son, and only asks the son to give Liu Lang a chance." ”

"Heh......"

Kou Ji sneered and asked rhetorically, "Do you think my Kou Mansion is short of cattle and horses?" Or is it lacking? ”

The insect girl's expression darkened.

Kou Ji's eyes fell on Liu Yong, and said lightly: "It's just ...... He had the ...... I wanted."

The insect girl was stunned for a moment, and looked at Kou Ji excitedly.

Kou Ji didn't look at her, but stared at Liu Yong, who was lost and depressed, and said lightly: "One day, if he wins the Jinshi, I want him to use the eight-lift sedan chair to marry you and be his wife, and he will not be allowed to take concubines in his life, let alone have an outer room."

If he can do it, I'll give him a chance. ”

The insect girl opened her mouth wide and stared at Kou Ji in a daze.

It's like I've heard something incredible.

Kou Ji didn't pay any attention to the two of them, but slowly got up, went out of the tea house, and ordered the servants at the door of the tea house.

"Remember to settle the tea money...... Send Liu Yong to Ruishengzhuang outside the city to be a gentleman who enlightens young children...... When will the Qing people in Bianjing City stop praising his reputation, and when will they bring him to see me again......"

The insect girl heard Kou Ji's words, came back to her senses, crawled not far behind Kou Ji, and gave Kou Ji a big gift.

Kou Ji ignored her and left the tea house.

The reason why Kou Ji is still willing to give Liu Yong a chance is because Liu Yong is still saved.

In his later years, Liu Yong still entered the officialdom, although he did not do anything big, but he did not cause trouble.

It shows that after he joined the company, his temperament has converged a lot.

Maybe after he fell out with the insect girl, when he went out to travel, he sharpened something.

Since it can be grinded out, then throw it on Ruishengzhuang to sharpen it.

Although there are many Mr. Ruisheng Zhuangshang, there are not a few who are famous and have a particularly high level of knowledge.

Liu Yong can't understand the article written by Kou Ji, which means that his knowledge is not weak.

I just happened to help train the dolls of Rui Shengzhuang.

After Kou Ji left, the servants of Kou Mansion dragged the soulless Liu Yong out of the tea house and went to Ruishengzhuang.

Worm Niang first accompanied Liu Yong to settle down in Ruisheng Village outside the city, and then returned to Bianjing City, packed up the things in Bianjing City, and went out to accompany him.

After Kou Ji threw Liu Yong to Rui Shengzhuang, he didn't pay attention to him anymore.

Whether it can be sharpened depends on Liu Yong's creation.

Kou Ji returned to the mansion and rested for a long time.

It's late afternoon.

One by one, the Oiran ladies who heard that Kou Ji had taken Liu Yong to Rui Shengzhuang visited Kou Mansion one after another, asking Kou Ji to help Liu Yong ask for an explanation.

Koji hasn't had time to come forward yet.

Xiang Yan first led people to drive those Oiran ladies out of Mahang Street, and dispatched a group of servants to guard both sides of Mahang Street, and ordered them to beat away those women in Qinglou and Jiaofang when they saw them.

In Xiang Yan's heart, Kou Ji is a good baby husband.

Whether before or after marriage, Kou Ji never went out to provoke other women, and never had any idea of taking a concubine.

This shows that Kou Ji really loves her, treats her sincerely, and is willing to guard her for the rest of her life.

is such a high-ranking and powerful minister, but he is clean and self-loving, and he doesn't guard it well, can he throw it out to hook up with those foxes?

After Kou Ji learned what Xiang Yan had done from Kou Zhong's mouth, he couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't try to dissuade him.

Xiang Yan wanted to take the initiative to help him clean up the trouble, but it was too late for him to be happy.

How can it be stopped?

As for those Oiran ladies, they seem to be a little too highly praised by those dignitaries and nobles in Bianjing City, and they are a little carried away.

Shouldn't the imperial court clean up the entertainment industry of the Great Song Dynasty, wake up those oiran girls, and let them remember their identities again?

With this in mind, Kou Ji put on his court clothes and entered the palace the next day.

Of course, Kou Ji didn't really want to take the matter of the Oiran lady to the Vertical Arch Palace.

Rather, it was to take the temple exam.

At the time of the temple examination.

It was composed of six chief officials of the six departments, three secretaries and three envoys, three officials in the inner court, and eleven officials Zhao Zhen, who formed a review team to review the papers of those candidates.

In addition to Zhao Zhen, the remaining ten people will review the candidates separately after they have finished answering the papers, and pick out ten excellent works and hand them over to Zhao Zhen to determine the champions, lists, and flowers.

The statutes of the palace examination are far more concise than those of autumn and spring.

Under the guidance of Huiyuan, the candidates walked into the vertical arch hall, and after meeting Zhao Zhen, they sat down separately.

And then.

Zhao Zhen sent Chen Lin to convey the questions of the palace examination to the candidates.

The candidates began to sit and answer in silence.

Duration.

The eunuchs and ladies in the palace will provide some water and food to the candidates.

After the candidates answer the questions and hand in the papers, they will be taken to the side hall by the little eunuchs to rest, and after all the candidates have handed in the papers, the eunuchs will take them out of the palace.

Kou Zhun and ten others began to read the papers.

When they encounter an article that they appreciate, they will not hesitate to draw a circle, and if they encounter something they don't appreciate, they will not hesitate to cross it.

After ten people reviewed it, there were a bunch of articles with circles and crosses.

Then they picked out the ten articles with the most circles and handed them to Zhao Zhen.

It is worth mentioning that among the ten articles selected by Kou Zhun and ten people, there are no children of high-ranking officials and nobles.

This can be regarded as an unwritten rule during the imperial examination.

During the imperial court's scientific examination, as long as they were scholars with outstanding literary talents and excellent character, they had the opportunity to be selected as a jinshi.

However, among the first-class scholars, there are very few children from high-ranking officials and noble families.

First, it is to show the people of the world that the imperial court has achieved fairness and justice during the imperial examination.

The second is to select the real talented people and use them for the imperial court.

Although the imperial court has lost its fairness and justice in doing so.

But this is the fairness and justice that the people of the world want.

Just think about it.

If the first-class jinshi in the imperial court are all the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, what do the people in the world think?

Regardless of whether there is fraud or not, the people in the world will feel that there is a suspicion of fraud.

The children of the families of dignitaries and nobles have certainly enjoyed all the glory and wealth, but they have also lost a lot.

Li Di felt that Kou Ji was playing with people's hearts and was very scary.

But when it comes to playing with people's hearts, where can Kou Ji compare to the imperial court?

Koji plays with people's hearts, which is called stratagem.

The court plays with people's hearts, which is called unwritten rules.

Zhao Zhen, with the help of Kou Zhun, set up the champion, the list eye, and the flower.

Then he helped the fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth places in the top 10 to switch positions.

Don't underestimate this small change of ranking, although it has little impact on the candidates' careers.

But it is precisely the embodiment of imperial power.

Universally.

Only Zhao Zhen is qualified to help the top ten and change the nouns.

The rest can only speculate on Zhao Zhen's thoughts.
