19. Retest Xiziting

It is not a problem for the people of Zhongshu to know the tribute, and it is natural to preside over the re-examination.

But Chang Gon was anxious again, he originally wanted to take advantage of Gao Yuezhong's incident to make trouble, defeat his political opponent, and establish his prestige as a national jun, but he didn't expect to be pushed into a "passive" corner by Liu Yan in a few words.

No, Cui Youfu must not be allowed to preside over the re-examination, during this period of time, when Cui Youfu was elected by the Ministry of Governors, the selected people were deposed by Chang Gon, and the deposed people were appointed by Chang Gon, the two have long been incompatible, if Cui Youfu is allowed to re-examine, he will definitely let Gao Yue continue to be the head to embarrass himself.

Chang Gon rolled his eyes, and said, "Cui Youfu has already been selected by the Ministry of Officials, the affairs are complicated, and there is more than one person in the middle school, so you can choose others." ”

"Since Cui Sheren is not allowed to preside over the re-examination, it seems unfair to send other Sheren to go again." Liu Yan did not give in.

"Then who do you say, to send?" The emperor also ran out of ideas.

"It can be presided over by the elders and elders of the country, which is the most convincing to the public." Liu Yan took the opportunity to speak.

When Emperor Li Yu heard this, he raised his face and thought for a while: It seems that there is indeed such an old person, who has had the experience of raising the list of tributes before, and who has been detached from the battles of various factions over the years, who is both authoritative and low-key, so low-key that I am so familiar that I can't remember the name?

"I'm ashamed, I have a suitable candidate in my heart, but I actually ...... (The emperor was embarrassed to say that he forgot Xiao Xin's name)" Li Yu sat back on the bookcase in distress, picked up the pen, and hung on the snow-white imperial scroll for a long time.

"The person Your Majesty thinks, isn't it Xiao Sanqi?" Liu Yan stepped forward to remind.

Li Yu suddenly realized! Immediately wrote "Xiao Xin", and then handed it over to the chamberlain, saying that it would be handed over to the Hanlin Academy, and it was written out as an edict.

After noon, Pan Yan's mansion hall has been drunk several times, the new jinshi and the chief secretary while drinking, while letting the chief judge comment on the shining points of each article, after the comment, everyone should thank the chief again for his kindness - Cui Kuan, Li Gan and other dignitaries are also in the south seat to help, this Cui Kuan looked at Gao Yue's polite manners, his speech was quite organized, he was more and more happy, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he wanted to pull him back immediately and be a fast son-in-law in the east bed.

For the Cui family in Weizhou, it doesn't make much sense to marry other high-ranking families, Cui Kuan thinks that it is actually ideal to find a young man like Gao Yue with a simple background, fame, talent and prospect to be the husband of Li Niang.

At the end of the banquet, Gao Yue and the others stood in front of Pan Yan's house, saying that we would wait for our protégés to go to the hospital first, and then come back to visit in three days.

It is a place where the new scholars gather together to discuss various banquets and organize the Jinshi group.

As a result, as soon as Gao Yue wanted to get on the horse, Cui Zhongcheng swung in front of his eyes, and Gao Yue hurriedly took off the bridle and saluted Cui Kuan.

"Yisong, I have received your letter."

Gao Yue thought in his heart that this Cui Kuan was helping Yun Shao talk back, so he was even more respectful.

"Three days later, when you come back to thank you, Pan Lishi will not entertain you again, this is the rule. In this way, I will have a confidant banquet in the Humble House, and you—you will come alone after thanking you that day. Cui Kuan looked around, and the last sentence was said to Gao Yue in a very low tone, when he got closer.

Gao Yue's eyes rolled, this must be what Yun Shao's little lady wanted, so he agreed with his mouth.

As a result, before Cui Kuan could express his joy, he suddenly walked into a group of servants dressed in vermilion purple clothes from the gate of Xuanyang Fang, which frightened everyone to dodge, and the leading eunuch Tan Zhizhong walked directly to Gao Yue and asked in a sharp voice, "You are this year's head Gao Yue?" ”

"Exactly, I don't know what the noble man has to teach you?"

"Well, this is everyone's ink." Tan Zhizhong took out the emperor's edict, "Some people have doubts about this year's Spring Festival, and they have complained to everyone." Please and all the bridegrooms do not need to return to the Imperial Hall, and immediately enter the Southern Provincial Metropolitan Hall - to prepare for the re-examination. ”

Zhongguan Tan Zhizhong's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and more than a dozen Jinshi were all stunned, even which "nameless son" (the Tang Dynasty refers to the villain who anonymously slandered others in the field) who wanted to trap us?

Only Zheng Qi's face turned pale, as if he understood something in his heart.

And Gao Yue's expression was nervous but not panicked, he seemed to have expected today's events.

In fact, when he was in Pan Yan's mansion just now, when he and Pan Yan were sitting opposite each other and drinking, Pan reminded himself in a whisper: In case of any recurrence, don't be afraid, since you are the head I take, I will definitely protect you.

"Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, since everyone here has reached the top with real skills, they are naturally not afraid of re-examination." Gao Yue said this to Tan Zhizhong very calmly, and then made a gesture and asked this noble person to lead the way.

"Good Langjun, you really have the courage." Tan Zhizhong admired it, "Then let me come." ”

The new jinshi were full of complaints, and inexplicably followed Gao Yue and Tan Zhizhong and left Xuanyangfang.

Cui Kuan, who was left in place, was dumbfounded, and then he looked at Jingzhao Yin Ligan and Han Wang Fu Wu Zhongru, who came with him.

Wu Zhongru originally wanted to find a good husband for the group of little ladies in the family of the eight sons and seven sons-in-law in the Fenyang Palace, especially his daughter, of course, he also took a fancy to Gao Yue, the head of the banquet, and Zheng Qi, the first of the second ranks, and was just about to discuss with Cui Kuan how to divide the matter, and in the blink of an eye, the new jinshi below Gao Yue was taken to Shangshu Province by the nobles and said that they wanted to retest-Wu Zhongru frowned, feeling that things were not so simple, and the retest was never a good thing, I am afraid that it is not this senior or Zheng Qi who will be unlucky? You can't have anything to do with them anymore.

So Wu Zhongru hurriedly dealt with the number of people, then stepped on the horse's back, and left this place of right and wrong without looking back.

Cui Kuan's heart was also up and down, so he turned around and returned to Pan Yan's house, but when he saw that the door of the aconite was closed, he thought that if there was something wrong with this retest, not only Gao Yue would be unlucky, but Pan Yan would also not be able to eat and walk around.

In the Zhongcheng family's house, Cui Yunshao was happily swinging with his cousin, and in a blink of an eye, his uncle walked back with an ugly face, and the second sister asked if the third year of high school had agreed to the confidant's banquet, Cui Kuan sighed and shook his head, and said to them, "The Holy Lord suddenly sent an ink, saying that this year's spring festival is unreasonable, and all the Jinshi below Gao Yue should be retested in the Xizi Pavilion of Shangshu Province." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Kuan looked at his daughter, only to see Yunhe is stunned expression, and was just about to comfort her with a few words, but he heard a pop:

His nephew Yun Shao sat down on the ground, tears falling straight down, and then cried out in a wailing voice, "What Holy Lord Heavenly Son, with empty eyes but can't distinguish the true talent!" This is clearly to harm Gao Langjun, and it is jealousy of Gao Langjun's ascension, so that his two hundred and forty sticks are empty, and the villain looks like he doesn't talk much, woo woo woo woo ......"

Cui Kuan was stunned: What's going on, how can Ah Ni's reaction when she hear the news be much more intense than that of my daughter Fei Niang?
