Liu Demu, who was standing under the high case, suddenly clenched his fists, very nervous.

Gao Yue pinched his arm, reassuring him to relax.

"Oh, the two sentences at the beginning of Fang Zhai's volume can be described as golden sentences!" Who would have thought, Pan Shilang was particularly fond of Liu De's poems and praised them, "The buffalo on the other bank floats to the crossing, and the sand birds in the river nod their heads - the end is good, not bad!" Fang Zhai has been trapped in the field for fifteen or sixteen years, and this year I am afraid that this ceremony will be your Bole! ”

Gao Yue happily saw that Liu Demuro trembled with joy, and his cheeks were flushed with a fiery red.

"Yisong, where is your provincial volume?"

After Pan Lishi asked, Gao Yue bowed down and solemnly presented his scroll.

Pan Yan sighed, nodded, and opened the scroll, and the frontispiece that suddenly caught his eye was still the "Shrimp Toad":

Sitting and lying down is always average,

It's too gratuitous to look at people.

If you want to know that your skeleton is small,

Try to take a picture of the hooves.

"This!" Pan Yan immediately became angry, and thought to himself, "I said last time, saying that your poem is too rude, and you don't accept the admonition, and you put this poem at the front of the volume, isn't it contempt for the main director?" ”

But when he was just about to have a seizure, he found that the next side of the thumb on the roll was written in small letters, "There is the latest compilation of the Huaibei Mystery Case Collection attached to it."

"Ahem, ahem!" Pan Lishou coughed violently to hide himself, and then casually said that Gao Yisong's poetry was a little incomprehensible, so he turned around and let Zheng Qi and his Zhanghui Pavilion throw in the scroll.

The frontispiece of the provincial volume presented by Zheng Qi was "Fanlu Fu" made by him, and Pan Yan also praised it after reading it, and he had committed Zheng Qi's father's sakefulness because of the rhyme he deliberately set up in "Tongtiantai Fu", and he didn't want to go, so he almost immediately promised to give Zheng Qi Jinshi and the first.

Zheng Qi was so praised by the head of the Ministry of Rites, and he was very complacent at that time, and looked at Gao Yueyan, who was standing on the side, which meant that I was determined to get the spring head in the thirteenth year of the Great Calendar.

After the ten lifters sent by Jingzhao Mansion finished submitting the provincial papers, Pan Yan immediately asked the staff of the Ministry of Rites to review the provincial papers of the other lifters for him, and he took Gao Yue's line editor and couldn't wait to enter the wing room of the capital hall of the Ministry of Rites, ready to take a look at the new "Huaibei Mystery Case Collection".

As a result, he pulled the scroll down, but Pan Yan found that the back of the poem "Shrimp Toad" was empty.

"High three drums, dare to play the main division!" Pan Yan was furious, stood up and stomped his feet anxiously: the murderer of this latest compilation of "Leyouyuan Public Assassination Case" has not been revealed for a long time, and his appetite is even more than the previous "Seven Corpses in the Tomb of General Jinwu".

When he was still angry, the official outside walked in and said that Gao Saburo was waiting for the lord in the Zuo Weiwei Mansion next to the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, and he had not left yet.

Pan Yan left the capital hall in a huff, walked across the street, and came to Zuo Weiwei's Mansion.

Zuo Weiwei's Mansion has long existed in name only, and the houses have not been repaired for a long time, with collapsed walls, doors and windows everywhere, as well as weeds and shrubs, which are very barren.

Seeing Gao Yue standing there, Pan Yan was angry and didn't come anywhere, "What is the reason for doing it like this?" ”

Gao Yue was not in a hurry, "Waiter, Yi Song only asks for this year's head." ”

"Why is the senior in high school talking so wildly? Originally, Changxiang didn't allow you to get to the top at all, but the head of the department loves you, so he is ready to draw up a 'list of embellishments' after the number of places in the Jinshi Branch, and take five more people, and you will be in these five people, so you can hide from Chang Xiang, so the head of the department has tried his best. And you want to look like it, it's ridiculous. Pan Yan flicked his sleeves and said.

"Then I won't write it down for the waiter in the future." Gao Yue was calm.

"You! Do you think that no one can write such an article as a scholar of the Tang Dynasty? ”

"No, I don't have him."

"I, I dethrone you."

"Then I will be killed by the staff of Jingzhao Mansion, and after that, Huaibeilu will never be killed." Gao Yue was indignant and calm, and said on his back, "That will also insult Pan Lishi's reputation for love and talent, you might as well give me a salute, you will be my lord in the future, I am your protégé, and Huaibei will be exclusive to you." How's that, Yan Xiang thinks the same way when he is late, right? ”

"I ......" Pan Yan hated his teeth itching, his lips and tongue were dry, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, but he was helpless.

In the end, he motioned for Gao Yue to come closer, and when there was no one around, he whispered, "Essay poetry is still weak to you, you look at the Fanlu Fu offered by Zheng Qi today, it is really difficult to surpass him, if Zheng Qi is not the head, how can you, the third high drum, convince the public?" ”

Gao Yue saw that Pan Shilang's tone had loosened a little, and he thought that the time had come to break through the defense line, so he said to Pan Yan with a straight face, "According to Lishi's words, Lishi's list has been prepared for this year?" ”

Because Pan Yan clearly said the sentence "If Zheng Qi is not in the right position", coupled with what he said before, "the list of embellishments" can be said to be obvious. This was also commonplace in the Tang Dynasty: the chief secretary basically prepared the list before the official Spring Festival, and then fine-tuned it according to the actual situation.

Pan Yan didn't deny this, so Gao Yue said, "Does the waiter want this list to be recognized by Chang Menlang, or by Yan Xiang?" ”

Pan Yan looked at him strangely, why didn't Gao Yue, this kid see him for a few days, and he actually called "Yan Xiang" and "Yan Xiang" - when did he become so familiar with my father-in-law.

I saw that Gao Yue was not in a hurry, and took out a thin scroll from his arms, Pan Yan took a look, it was actually "Judgment Hundred Dao Brackets", and then Gao Yue simply opened the page, revealing Liu Yan's unique seal.

This!

Gao Yue's expression was still calm, and he said to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, "Actually, Yan Xiang has tried my strategy before, and he also left this volume of Baidao ......."

Pan Yan frowned, thinking that his father-in-law really recognized this, otherwise he would directly give him this sentence in a hundred ways? You have to know the trial judgment, but it can only be used in the customs test of the Ministry of Officials, and the pass test is immediately after the Ministry of Rites test, if Gao Yue can't get to the top, then it is meaningless for the father-in-law to give him this, and Liu Yan will never do meaningless things.

In the end, in the abandoned garden of Zuo Weiwei Mansion, Pan Yan sighed, and made up his mind - I am the head of the Ministry of Rites, who to take or not, the authority is mine, plus with the support of my father-in-law, in fact, there is really no need to be afraid of that district Chang Gon.

So Pan Yan said to Gao Yue, "Gao Sangu, since Yan Xiang, Xiao Sanqi and Cui Zhongcheng have all cited you as confidants, of course this servant also understands it. But how do you think you can overpower Zheng Wenming in essays and poems? ”

"It depends on what the Spring Poetry is going to do this time......"

Pan Yan lowered his voice, stood under the fence of the abandoned garden, and drew a few words at Gao Yuebi.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yue even claimed that he did not dare to forget the kindness of the servant, and Pan Yan immediately kept silent, and the two of them understood it separately.

After Gao Yue bowed, he left Zuo Weiwei Mansion.
