Regarding the ups and downs of officialdom, Li Ruyu doesn't know much.

But there are some things that don't matter if you understand them or not, and when you meet them, you can learn them without a teacher, such as today's events.

I thought it was aimed at Xie Lang, but it wasn't until Xu Luan, the head of the Ritual Cleaning Division, appeared, that Li Ruyu completely understood that others were not targeting Xie Lang at all.

It's for yourself.

It is even more aimed at Zhao Changyi, who they think is their backer.

He entered the Hanlin Academy with an art department to wait for the edict, and the king of Xian'an County is now hot in the court, under his operation, maybe in a few years, he will be able to become an upstart.

This is a situation that Zhao Changyi's political enemies do not want to see.

That's why we have today.

It's one thing to make a fool of yourself, the real purpose is to cut off the possibility of being the best in your art - if the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all crushed by others, and even the person who crushes you will not be lifted at that time, then if you are in the middle of the lift, how can the Ministry of Rites explain to the people who read the world?

As long as someone crushes him today, that person will inevitably fall behind in the arts.

At that time, even if Zhao Changyi returns from the mission, he will not be able to return to the sky.

Zhao Changyi's life or death is not important to Li Ruyu, from beginning to end, he and Zhao Changyi have a relationship of mutual use, but this time the art should be lifted, and he is bound to win.

None of them.

After a conversation between Liuyunlou and the unknown young man, Li Ruyu made up his mind about his life goal.

It has been 14 years since I sat in the well and watched the sky.

Now, it is time to go out of the well to take over the mountains and rivers.

If you don't take the mountains and rivers, how can you give a small city, this is imperative, and it is imminent - Xiaoxiao is the granddaughter of Xie Lang, the secretary of the ministry, and Zhao Changyi is the king of Xian'an County, Daliang, who is destined to give Xiaoxiao a city.

If Her Majesty the Empress gives marriage, who can object?

Therefore, he must have the capital that can compete with Zhao Changyi, and it is a way to make a name for himself from Beizhen Fusi, but maybe it is the next Liu Xiangyang, who will be famous in the imperial examination, so that he can stand up in front of the scholarly family Chen Jun Xie.

Li Ruyu didn't want to be embarrassed.

So......

forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Xu Luan squarely, and looked serious, "What is Lord Xu?" ”

Originally, I wanted to put the responsibility on the Ministry of Rites, but the students of Taixue disagreed with me Li Ruyu should raise the art department, this is a matter of your Ministry of Rites, and I was also announced to be in Lin'an, and it was not my turn to explain.

But after thinking about the previous truths, Li Ruyu was unwilling to back down.

Retreat, not in line with their own mind: people should be like a sword, unyielding, and indomitable.

Xu Luan smiled and said nothing, his eyes fell on Zhou Suhuai, the meaning is very clear, I have General Li Ruyu, let's see if you elephant warriors can break this river crosser.

Xu Luan, as the director of the Department of Ceremonial Officials, couldn't be more clear about the inner nature of this matter, Her Majesty the Empress and Xie Lang wanted to bring Li Ruyu, but the Qianwang Zhao Li and the Daliang Zhao family behind him did not want to see this situation.

Wang Kun, the iron-blooded prince, sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and Ning Que, the right minister, and Xie Yun, the governor of the political affairs, moved a small stool to watch the excitement.

It made our big guy Zhou Miaoshu in the Ministry of Rites not a person, and he didn't return to the Ministry of Rites after today's meeting, obviously as he expected, this big Shangshu was pulled by the king Zhao Li to drink.

So I came out to do this today, one is to give Qianwang Zhao Li a favor and face, and the other is ...... Xu Luan was very sad, and the two were carrying the black pot for Zhou Dashangshu.

After this incident, no matter whether Li Ruyu is disgraced or proud, he will inevitably be pinched by the empress.

It depends on whether Zhou Dashangshu will cross the river and demolish the bridge.

Before Zhou Suhuai could say anything, Tang Zhijie took two steps forward, and said with a soft smile, "It's very simple, we are all students who can't learn too much, if we can convince me in one of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, we are willing to apologize for taking the liberty of putting wine in Sanyuan Building today, why does Li Xiaoqi think?" ”

On the three words Li Xiaoqi, the tone was deliberately accentuated.

After Renzong, although the Great Liang was both civil and military, the scholars somewhat looked down on the martial arts, just as Shangshu Province looked down on the Privy Council, and the Hanlin Yuan and Guozijian looked down on the Fusi of the North and South Towns.

Li Ruyu nodded, "It's fair." ”

Tang Zhijie was secretly happy when he heard this, "In the lower Tang Zhijie, what you are good at is Dan Qing'er, please give advice." ”

The other two young men who had never spoken stepped forward, one of them was expressionless, extremely calm and calm, although he was only the age of the crown, he was so old that he had forehead lines, and said without much emotion: "Yan Qing, good at chess." ”

The young man standing beside him has a long-sleeved robe, with excellent texture and an extremely good family background, especially a pair of hands, snow-white and slender, extremely well maintained, his facial features are quite feminine and beautiful, his voice is slender, and he is a little shy: "Xue Qu is redundant, he has been learning the piano for 14 years, please advise." ”

Xue Quredundant spoke in a respectful tone.

The four of them really came prepared, Li Ruyu looked at Zhou Suhuai, "You should be a calligrapher?" ”

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the four arts of art.

Zhou Suhuai smiled, full of confidence, "You don't dare to be, please advise." ”

Li Ruyu looked at Xu Luan, "I also asked Director Xu to prepare some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones." ”

Xu Luan nodded and waved.

Outside the door, a few people walked in, some people held the piano, some people held the chess box chessboard, and some people moved three tables, and quickly put on the same three sets of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the ink has been inked, and the pen can be waved.

Apparently it has been prepared for a long time.

This toss in front of the official room of the Ritual Cleaning Department has already alarmed the whole Ministry of Rites, and with this group of people coming in, there are also officials from other departments of the Ministry of Rites.

Most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites are scholars, and when they see someone meeting friends with their texts, they don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and they all surround a few people, but no one makes a sound.

They are all ups and downs in their careers, how can they be reckless.

But this made Li Ruyu have an intuition to fall into calculation, the other party obviously wanted to make himself slump, if he lost to the four of Taixue in public, what kind of face should he raise his art?

It's too much!

Li Ruyu took a deep breath, his anger was like fire in his chest, a fourteen-year-old boy, after all, his qi cultivation kung fu had not yet been completed, staring at Zhou Suhuai and saying slowly, not humble, not arrogant: "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I only know some calligraphy, please advise." ”

Tang Zhijie and Yan Qing were slightly lost.

The feminine and masculine Xue Qu let out a sigh of relief.

Zhou Suhuai was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he and the boy would actually use calligraphy to teach art, but he happened to respond to himself.

If Li Ruyu can be crushed today, he will definitely become famous in Lin'an, Kyoto, and even in the heart of the emperor, and with the support of the teacher and the prince, it is no longer far away to revive the Shen family.

Zhou Suhuai stood at the table with a smile, "That's it, it's ugly." ”

Carry the left and right, hold the pen in your right hand, and wave it.

Li Ruyu doesn't like Zhou Suhuai, but I have to admit that Zhou Suhuai, who has a pen in hand, has everyone's demeanor.

The pen is like flying, and the wind is born under the pen, like a dragon and a snake.

Hearty and dripping, the ink flows, on the best rice paper, black and white are full, and the words are connected, like a black dragon, a proud black dragon paved up.

The Confucian shirt moved, and Zhou Suhuai at this moment began to show his true colors of Confucianism.
