Gao Yue's eyes rolled, and he understood in his heart, it turned out that the poor old Gao Yue was tricked by this called Dou Shen, Dou Shen first pretended to be a good person, invited the poor student Gao Yue to come to Pingkangfang to look for flowers and ask Liu, and then called the Zhongqu stunner of Runqing to hook up with him, but it turned out that the ugly and fat Wang Tuantuan was staying in the black light and black fire.

"Gao Yue, Gao Yue, do you know who killed you? It's this Dou Magpie, even if you turn to ashes, you have to go to Dou Magpie to settle accounts. ”

Having said that, Gao Yue was still unfazed on the surface, but hugged Wang Tuantuan and said to Dou Shen seriously, "You don't know anything, it's the so-called don't sleep, you don't know how good Tuan Tuan is." ”

As a result, everyone was stunned, and then laughed even happier.

In front of the Baotang Temple of Pingkang Fang, although the wind and snow last night, but at this time there are still crowds, the eighth day of each month here is fixed as the day when the prostitutes in the workshop go out to pray for blessings, the prostitutes give the bustard mother a silk before traveling, and then walk out from each song, take the maid to the temple to pray for blessings, watch the play, and of course more importantly, take the opportunity to put aside those benefactors who are entertaining, come to meet with their sweethearts - so inside and outside the temple walls, are the scholars and scholars in Chang'an City, and come to meet with each other, it is really lively.

In front of the temple gate, Dou Shen and Chu Niang Runqing, who is wearing heavy makeup and all kinds of amorous style, accompanied by the small servants holding the Ayaluo umbrella, and also holding the flag with the big book "Beili Zhongqu", and the group of gentlemen and children behind them who tend to be inflammatory, clapped and shouted, "The person in the painting, the mortal fairy, the genius with the Oiran", it was really majestic.

Soon the applause turned into laughter, Dou Shen lined up, two small servants holding tattered umbrellas, and walking below were Gao Yue, who was wearing shabby and wrinkled bachelor's uniforms, and Wang Tuantuan, who was low-looking, also holding a flag made of linen, on which the words "Beili Follow the Wall" were painted crookedly with black charcoal, and a mockery of "Poor Sour with Yaksha" was everywhere.

Wang Tuantuan was very painful, because the most important thing about being a prostitute in Pingkangfang was to be famous and not upside down, but Gao Yue was calm and calmly, and secretly thought to himself, "After all, I am a dignified student from my starting point, graduated from the highest university in the whole empire, and I should be much stronger than the history department of a university in Xijing City before me, and I am fully qualified to take the exam to become an official." Being an official, interesting, and then it should be step by step, brocade clothes and jade food, dominate the temple, marry Bai Fumei of the Tang Dynasty, and walk on the peak of life in this era, it's really a little exciting to think about it! Alas, how should we deal with the upcoming Spring Imperial Examination? ”

Just when he was crooked, under the side wall of the door, suddenly a man with gray hair and wearing a half-new bachelor's uniform shouted to himself coldly, "Yisong! ”

Gao Yue was stunned, and then he realized that the man shouted to himself, and then looked at him, and he didn't know who the other party was, only to see that this man was about forty or fifty years old, his face was wrinkled, and he was shivering with cold.

"You ......" Gao Yue was also embarrassed to say that he didn't know each other, because he was afraid of revealing his flaws.

But the man held the scroll of poetry in his hand, flatteringly held it in front of Dou Shen's eyes, and complained to Gao Yue, "Yisong, you have made friends with a handsome man like Dou Langjun, and you don't know that you will be a foolish brother." Then he said to Dou Shen in a low voice, "Dou Langjun, this volume (1) is called Wen Bian, all of which are formed by a certain person who selected the most favorite from the poems of previous years, because he got the news that Dou Langjun was about to come out of Shimei Yuan Wei (2) in the near future, and held a farewell banquet in Pingkangli, and specially presented a total of thirteen poems. ”

Dou Shen's face was full of disdain, and he called the man's name, "It turned out to be Liu Demu, who is too learned, and these days he has invested in bank rolls and warm rolls everywhere, why have they all been invested in my head?" After speaking, he took the scroll of Liu De's room and handed it to Chu Niang next to him, and Chu Niang untied the scroll and smacked it.

...... Gao Yue was also greatly shocked, this half-messed old man in front of him was actually a student, how could there be such a down-and-out old man in the highest university in the whole empire?

"Dou Langjun pity me, I came here from my hometown to Chang'an City to study, trapped in the field, tired of trying for fifteen years, until now people are not like ghosts and ghosts. I beg you to say to Dou Zhongcheng, as long as you say it, you will be able to get what you want in your life, and then you will be rewarded for being a cow and a horse. Liu Demu's words became very sad, and he sent Dou Shen to kneel down.

Dou Shen deliberately wanted to embarrass Liu Demur, and by the way, he stimulated Gao Yue, so he sneered and said, "Liu Demur, Liu Demur, you are also a well-dressed descendant, and you also rely on the Taixue of your ancestors, of course, you know that this Taixue is also the same as the scholars of the rivers and lakes, and you have to rely on poetry and articles to get the first, and now you have a row scroll on the left, a warm scroll on the right, asking for help everywhere, what do you think of the national elector?" I said that the ancestors of the Liu family in Longxi also had a lot of people from the court, how did you come to you, alas, tsk, it's so unbearable. To tell you the truth, although my uncle is a Zhongcheng, this Chunfu is not him, so he has to go to the doctor in a hurry. ”

"I have been involved in the Chang Li of Zhigongju before, but I have not received a response so far, I only ask Dou Langjun Chrysostom to inform Zhongcheng of a word, let Zhongcheng help a little, and you can get through the list!" The more Liu Demuro spoke, the more anxious he became, and finally he became emotional and couldn't help coughing violently.

At this time, Gao Yue leaned next to Wang Tuantuan and asked, "I understand, but what does Tongbang mean?" Could it be that Dou Zhongcheng does not preside over the scientific examination, and can decide who to take and who not to take? ”

Wang Tuantuan knew in his heart that he was a fake Gao Yue, and he might not know the inside story here, but she was from Pingkangli, and she knew a lot about the situation of scholars on weekdays, so she replied, "Lang Jun guessed right, the chief secretary presided over the Spring Exam, but the nobles of the court can also inform the chief secretary and jointly decide which scholars to admit, this is called Tongbang, which is an unwritten rule." ”

I'll go, is this the imperial examination to promote the fairness and openness of China's talent selection system, and this general list is not related to the back door in a grand manner?

It's no wonder that this Liu De Room wants to invest in the bank roll everywhere and display his poems, probably to arouse the appreciation of the powerful in the DPRK and China, and now they are all voted on the heads of small characters like Dou Shen.

"Okay, I know. But my uncle has a lot of opportunities, whether to watch it or not, it depends on your creation. Dou Shen smiled, said that he took Liu De's scroll, and then turned around and pointed at Liu De's room with a mocking tone and said to Gao Yue, "I heard that when this Liu De'room came to Chang'an fifteen years ago, it was really imposing at that time, and he felt that no one in the whole world could match his literary talent, and his head was like a bag to take things, who would have thought that now - Yi Song, I advise you to be a good man, improve every day, and don't end up like him in fifteen years." ”

Gao Yue didn't speak, I saw that Liu Demuro listened to Dou Shen's cold words, but he still didn't dare to attack, pressed his hunchback and slammed it to the ground, only promised, and his withered hair like withered sideburns shook in the wind, which made people feel particularly sad.
