"If you don't have a weak heart, I just say it casually, and you say that you have nothing to do, what do you do? What do you think will happen? "Wei Zhongxian is good at eloquence, although he doesn't know a few big characters, he is very good at grasping the loopholes in other people's words.

"Nine thousand years old, Lord Zhou didn't mean that." Zhu Yanxi couldn't help but help Zhou Rupan speak.

As soon as Zhu Yanxi spoke, the smell of gunpowder on the field became stronger and stronger, and many Donglin Party officials were eager to join the debate.

The eunuch officials were also eyeing each other, just waiting to join the warband.

"That's not what it means, but what does it mean?" Wei Zhongxian smiled indifferently and looked at Zhu Yanxi, looking indifferent, but the content of his speech was quite a ruffian.

The ruffians are looking for people to quarrel and find faults, and it is often this set of logic, and they keep asking questions until there is a horse foot in other people's words.

This is also a high-powered, world-powerful 9,000-year-old, if someone else spoke to a super first-class member like this, he would have been sprayed into the river a long time ago.

Zhu Yanxi was furious, and secretly thought that although he was not the first assistant, he was also the second assistant, and he was the highest official of the Dongli people in the court, you Wei Zhongxian, we have swallowed our anger with you again and again, but you don't deceive people too much!

Just when Zhu Yanxi was about to go crazy.

Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly: "You don't need to be angry, the old slave is just joking with you." ”

Everyone could see that Zhu Yanxi was going to get angry, and the face of the person who was about to get angry was not good-looking, at this time, his face was flushed, and he was immediately made Zhu Yanxi lose his temper by Wei Zhongxian's fluttering words, and a nameless anger broke out nowhere, looking very embarrassed and even a little stupid.

That's what Wei Zhongxian wants.

President Wei couldn't help but feel reverence, and secretly thought that this trick must be learned, being in a high position, sending and receiving freely, playing with Lord Zhu Yanxi like this, teaching Lord Zhu Yanxi that he can't get angry even if he is angry, and the upper hand is taken advantage of by Wei Zhongxian! A high move, it's really a good move.

"Sit down, everybody! I'm a guest today, and everything is up to Lord Shousuke's arrangement. Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly, and passed the right to speak back to Gu Bingqian with great grace.

Gu Bingqian hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and then said to Wei Zhongxian: "Please announce the opening of the banquet at the age of nine thousand." ”

"It's still Lord Shoufu who announced that I am an internal official, and it is not appropriate to get along, and I am afraid that someone will go to His Majesty to participate in my overstepping my authority and seeking government." Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly, his eyes were virtual, as if he was looking at everyone present, and it seemed that no one was looking.

Wei Bao watched Wei Zhongxian's every move, every micro-expression, he was willing, the last time he contacted Wei Zhongxian, it was still in the palace, at that time Wei Zhongxian followed the emperor, not obvious, President Wei didn't have much feeling.

The next time President Wei saw Wei Zhongxian in private, he was going to bribe so that he could pass the exam, and the time was short, and Wei Zhongxian didn't say a few words to him, so he was not very impressed.

This time it was different, Wei Zhongxian in front of hundreds of officials, in front of three hundred new science and technology scholars, just a few words to bring out the qualifications of the three new first-class three, and without much argument, the qualifications of these three people had already been shaken.

President Wei realized that in many cases, raising a problem does not necessarily mean that a result will be drawn at that time, as long as people know that I have discovered this problem, and the person who found this problem is a person in an absolutely dominant position, it is already okay, and it has enough weight.

Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji and Feng Quan were secretly proud, smiling and beckoning the nine thousand years old to sit on the top, and several people accompanied them.

Zhu Yanxi, Zhou Rupan and Ding Shaoshi looked unhappy, and the huge questions raised by Wei Zhongxian were blocked in their chests like big stones, and they didn't know if Wei Zhongxian had any other tricks.

Anyway, the three of them all felt that it would be difficult for Yu Huang, Hua Qifang and Weng Hongye to change from the top three in the first class of Jinshi to the champion, Bangyan and Tanhualang.

At least one of the three was to be squeezed out and replaced by eunuchs.

The three of them realized that there was this possibility, and they were very unwilling.

All the Donglin ministers and Donglin scholars present were actually aware of this, and they were also very unwilling!

The more unwilling, the more depressed he felt for the few words Wei Zhongxian said just now.

Therefore, the whole banquet is relaxed and harmonious on the surface, but the waves are surging.

Wei Zhongxian and several ministers sat in the middle of the upper seat.

On both sides are the banquets where officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials sit.

Then there are the candidates' seats, as the second place in the second class, President Wei is qualified to sit at a table with a total of ten scholars such as Yu Huang, Hua Qifang, Weng Hongye and Wu Kongjia.

"You new science and technology scholars don't have to be restrained, you all relax." Wei Zhongxian was halfway through eating, and suddenly said to Wei Bao's table.

At the whole table, ten gentlemen hurriedly got up.

Including Wei Bao, he was also taken aback, he didn't have that much awe for Wei Zhongxian, but there was harm in comparison.

After appreciating the more than ten levels of Daming officialdom, the weight of Gonggong Wei, who is the top and above 10,000 people under one person, has risen sharply in Wei Bao's heart, and he has risen infinitely.

"Don't be restrained, the more you talk, the more restrained you become!" Wei Zhongxian then said with a smile: "Today's banquet for the scholars, singing and dancing to cheer up the fun is not solemn, but it is a bit boring to eat dry, it is better for you to chant poems and endow them, so that I, a person with shallow knowledge, can also be touched by the talents of the scholars." ”

When Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji and Feng Quan heard this, they immediately looked at each other.

Zhu Yanxi, Zhou Rupan and Ding Shaoshi also looked at each other.

The others, whether they were eunuch party officials or Donglin party officials, also looked at each other.

Everyone who is in the officialdom has some vigilance, and the more senior the official, the stronger the vigilance.

The middle and low-level officials in Beijing are not far behind, anyway, they are better than local officials, after all, they have been with these super officials for a long time, and they have been with the court officials for a long time.

Everyone immediately understood that this was going to be a literary ring!

This direction is quite clear, it is aimed at the top three!

"What do you think?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

This time it is very consistent, whether it is Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji and Feng Quan, or Zhu Yanxi, Zhou Rupan and Ding Shaoshi, they all say that this is good, it is good to meet friends with poetry, and drink with poetry.

President Wei wrapped a piece of muntjac meat in his mouth and chewed it slowly, not caring about it, feeling that it had little to do with him.

He has also analyzed the situation, and the top three are all well-known scholars in Jiangnan, and they are all very famous, and they can be in the top three, which also shows that they are indeed talented and belong to the expectations of the public.

In this situation, even if you arch down alone, it is already very difficult.

If you arch a subordinate, it must be Wu Kongjia, a disciple who has taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian.

Facts have proved that Wu Kongjia is indeed the seeded player in Wei Zhongxian's camp, otherwise how could he be ranked first in the second class?

As for himself, Wei Bao felt that he was definitely not the No. 2 position, and it was estimated that Wei Zhongxian did not have any particularly talented talents on his side, so he did not leave the No. 2 position at all, and was only ready to ensure that Wu Kongjia was on the throne.

President Wei's prediction of the situation is very accurate!

Wei Zhongxian really didn't take Wei Bao too seriously, and the reason why he accepted Wei Bao privately was mostly because of Wei Bao's silver!

At the same time, he is also aiming at Wei Bao's businessman's identity.

Businessmen value profit over righteousness, Wei Bao left Wei Zhongxian such an impression, otherwise he would not have let people participate in the impeachment and bring down Sun Chengzong, and at the same time accept Sun Chengzong's disciples as disciples.

In Wei Zhongxian's view, as long as there are interests, people like Wei Bao will recognize everyone as a father.

Wei Bao squinted at Wu Kongjia, Wu Kongjia's face was excited, and he looked eager to try.

"Since the nine thousand years old have this Yaxing, don't be nervous, this is your great opportunity, the ministers are here, the nine thousand years old are also here, most of the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials are here, and there are three hundred new science and technology scholars! It's a good opportunity to make a name for yourself, so let's follow the ranking of the exam, right? The top three in the first class, you come first! Gu Bingqian continued to play the role of banquet host.

This is very much in line with his role in the court, and it is basically the same in the court, Wei Zhongxian gave a direction, and then Gu Bingqian began to plan and develop in this direction, so that things would move forward according to Wei Zhongxian's intentions.

Yu Huang, the first person in the family, got up first and recited a poem at today's banquet.

The poem is decent, there is no particularly outstanding part, and there is no problem, which is slightly inconsistent with the identity of the first place.

Everyone looked at Wei Zhongxian, and the evaluation of others didn't seem to matter, they only looked at Wei Zhongxian's face.

Wei Zhongxian didn't say anything, still tasting wine and food at his own pace, with the graceful and calm appearance of a gourmet, as if he, the initiator of the proposal to compose poetry, had nothing to do with all this.

President Wei's expression made everyone a little confused.

This also includes President Wei Baowei, who doesn't know what medicine Wei Zhongxian sells in his gourd.

However, President Wei felt that Wei Zhongxian felt that the time was not yet ripe, and since he had made this suggestion, he would definitely pick on it.

Next is the second place in the first class, Hua Qifang.

Hua Qifang's word Fanghou, the number is the end of the horse, and he is a native of Wuxi.

This person is good at poetry, and he can't wait, and when it was his turn, he came to a song.

A few clear shadows reflect the window screen, and the sieve moon combs the wind with rain slanting.

Relative to this gentleman is not bad, the pine path of the secluded Zhai is accompanied by plum blossoms.

The moonlight passes through the bamboo bushes like a sieve, and the breeze blows through the bamboo branches like a warp comb.

The prince loves bamboo, and even the place where he stays temporarily should be planted with bamboo.

When people asked why, they pointed to the bamboo and said, "You can't live without this gentleman for a day." Later, it was nicknamed "this gentleman" as another name for bamboo.

This poem is not Hua Qifang's new work today, he made a trick and took out a poem he had made before, the most proud poem in his life, and recited it.

In contrast, Yu Huang is more sincere, and the poem he made just now caters to the theme of today's banquet, and he came up with it temporarily.

Similarly, after Hua Qifang finished reciting the poem, everyone looked at the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong again.

Wei Zhongxian still looked like a gourmet, and motioned to Zhu Yanxi for a toast.

Zhu Yanxi hurriedly picked up the wine glass and raised it with Wei Zhongxian, and then drank it all.

It seems that Wei Zhongxian has no intention of speaking in this literary arena without gunpowder, as if he is an outsider.

Then there is Weng Hongye, Weng Hongye is the third place in the first class of this meeting, and he is the same as Yu Huang, the first place, according to the scene of the poem, mainly describing the grand occasion of the drinking party, and the heart of the fist and the pure heart of the fist who is ready to serve the court.

Wei Bao is not a complete novice now, in all fairness, I don't know how many times stronger than him in the poetry of the first three people, although Wei Bao can barely compose poems, but they are all limericks, and they can't be on the stage at all.

However, Wei Bao didn't panic, he had a plan, secretly thinking, when it was his turn, he would take a poem from the Qing Dynasty or a modern literati, he didn't know many poems, but two or three poems could still be taken out, maybe more than that, when he was reading, he remembered several poems of Taizu alone.

When it was Wu Kongjia's turn, Wu Kongjia was full of energy, and immediately got up and chanted loudly: "My poem is called Yuzhu." I saw that there were a lot of rain bamboos on Lord Gu's house, which was a work for the occasion. A few clear shadows reflect the window screen, and the sieve moon combs the wind with rain slanting. Relative to this gentleman is not bad, the pine path of the secluded Zhai is accompanied by plum blossoms. ”

As soon as Wu Kongjia finished groaning, Wei Zhongxian put down his chopsticks and slapped his face.

Wei Zhongxian's slap was not tight, and all the eunuch members present seemed to get a very clear hint, and they applauded one after another, making it like a cheer in the middle of a singing scene.

President Wei also applauded, but he didn't know what was so good about this poem?

However, President Wei and everyone present understood that Gonggong Wei did not make a move at this time, not to put his force on suppressing Yu Huang, Hua Qifang and Weng Hongye, but to support Wu Kongjia to achieve his goal.

President Wei and everyone present had to admit that Gonggong Wei's trick was clever, this is foreshadowing, first paving the way for Wu Kongjia's talent, and causing everyone a Wu Kongjia is very talented, which is a regret of missing pearls! Originally, Wu Kongjia should have entered the top three of the first class.

Father-in-law Wei can reach the status of one person and above ten thousand people, not just by virtue of the strength of a guest, he himself is also capable.

It can be seen from Wei Gonggong's control of the East Factory.

The arrest personnel of the East Factory were rampant, and all the places they visited, regardless of whether the situation was false or real, were all in order.

Cousin Li Chengen, the son of the eldest princess of Ning'an, had utensils given by the princess in his home, and Wei Zhongxian falsely accused him of stealing forbidden items such as Chengyu clothing and sentenced him to death. When Wu Huaixian read Yang Lian's recital, he high-fived and praised, and the house slave denounced him, but Huaixian was killed and his home was raided.

Wu Ben Jiang Yingyang sued Xiong Tingbi and was immediately executed. Occasionally, the folk words offended Wei Zhongxian, and they were arrested and killed, and even skinned and tongues cut, and the number of people killed was innumerable.

This year, remembering the merits of the door, Wei Zhongxian got the third class of grace, and the governor of the shade was also known. He also appointed his uncle Wei Zhide as the governor.

Fu Yingxing was promoted to the governor of Zuodu, and his mother was commended, and Wei Liangqing was appointed as the secretary of the brocade and the guard, and was in charge of the affairs of the Fusi of Nanzhen.
