Chapter 48: The Literary Examination

"With the concern of Lord Laogu, the people's daughter is no longer in serious trouble."

Su Lifu said hello, because she was in the palace and had many eyes and ears, she didn't call him Mr.

Gu Yuanfeng stretched out his hand to help her up, and in the surprised eyes of others, he handed Su Li a porcelain-white vial: "This is buckwheat dew, I just asked Imperial Doctor Gao to see it, it has the effect of detoxification, you can take it once a day after dinner, it can help clear the remaining toxins." ”

"Thank you, Lord Gu."

Su Li accepted the vial and smiled slightly to be grateful.

Chu Huai'an looked at it coldly beside him, very dissatisfied in his heart, what does this woman mean? He has been condescending to take care of her for days, and just now he left so many people to look for her, and she didn't give herself a smile at all.

"Master Gu, there is a difference between men and women, should you pay attention to proportion? Besides, Ben Hou's people will take care of it, so you don't need to be so cold and warm, right? ”

Chu Huai'an opened his mouth lazily, his voice was not small, and the others immediately stretched their necks and prepared to watch the play.

Isn't this Lord Gu a lonely and unapproachable person in the Tai Academy on weekdays, why is it that he cares about the person who cares about the free marquis today?

"Sir......" I didn't want Gu Yuanfeng to have a conflict with Chu Huai'an, Su Li lowered her voice and called out, wanting Gu Yuanfeng to go farther, but Gu Yuanfeng interrupted her and asked Chu Huai'an with a serious face: "The care that Master Hou said is to let Ah Li poison you and go to the ghost gate to pass away?" ”

"Gu Yuanfeng!"

Chu Huai'an called Gu Yuanfeng's full name, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his usual squirming aura was constricted, revealing a bit of royal coldness.

This sentence touched his backlash.

Since Su Li's poisoning, this matter has been stuck in Chu Huai's heart, and no one can mention it.

"You're going to rob me now?" Chu Huai'an asked coldly, his tone was quite provocative.

Five years ago, Su Li was ridiculed by everyone, and Gu Yuanfeng could be a watchman, so Chu Huaian decided that now Gu Yuanfeng would not dare to openly rob him in front of so many people.

After all, even after five years, Gu Yuanfeng still has the identity of Su Li's teacher, and he doesn't have the courage to challenge secular etiquette!

Chu Huai's heart was determined, but Gu Yuanfeng unexpectedly said: "What Ah Li wants, the lower officials can also give it, Hou Ye might as well ask, who Ah Li is willing to go with now!" ”

When the words fell, he already admitted in disguise that he wanted to rob people with Chu Huai'an.

Everyone was talking, their eyes were on Chu Huai'an and Gu Yuanfeng, comparing the identities and status, appearance and talent of the two, and they naturally came to the conclusion that in addition to their talents, Chu Huai'an was better in other aspects.

Others don't know the inside story, but Chu Huai'an knows very well that what others value is not what Su Li wants, otherwise why wouldn't she even ask him for a hairpin?

Inexplicably, Chu Huai'an thought of the dream that had been lingering again, Gu Yuanfeng was so confident that he wanted Su Li to choose by himself, and he suddenly didn't dare to bet.

If Su Li really made a mistake in his brain, wouldn't he be very embarrassed?

Thinking of this, Chu Huai'an grabbed Su Li's hand and pulled the person into his arms: "The deed of sale has been signed to the master, she is the master's person, what qualifications do you have to choose?" ”

Originally, he just wanted to declare his ownership, but as soon as the words came out, he changed his taste and hurt people so much.

Gu Yuan was furious, and just about to speak for Su Li, the eunuch announced in a loud voice: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

After speaking, Chu Lingzhao wore a bright yellow dragon robe, surrounded by all the palace people, today Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to meet the occasion, the belt hung crimson silk, and the golden silk dark pattern on the cuffs and placket also used red silk thread to outline the vivid dragon ball meaning auspicious.

As soon as Chu Lingzhao came, everyone knelt down and bowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Among those present, Chu Huai'an's identity was not the highest, but he was the closest to Chu Lingzhao, so Chu Lingzhao's seat was closest to Chu Huai'an's, Chu Lingzhao casually said to ask for An, and walked towards Chu Huai'an's side.

In front of him, Chu Lingzhao's gaze swept back, and he paused on Su Li's body, his gaze was faint, and there was no dissatisfaction, but it made Su Li's heart stir, and his intuition was that the white hosta on his head attracted Chu Lingzhao's attention, could it be that this hairpin and Chu Huai'an didn't know the origin?

Su Li pondered secretly, standing behind Chu Huai'an, her eyebrows lowered more and more, but fortunately, after Chu Lingzhao sat down, she did not talk to Su Li, but talked to other ministers.

Although it was a common conversation, the ministers who were named did not dare to answer at will, and they all tensed their nerves and were cautious.

"Zhang Aiqing's official residence is in the fourth grade, how can he sit in such a back position? What do the people of the Internal Affairs Office do to eat? Chu Ling asked with a smile, his tone wrapped in a smile, but he was also frightened and the palace people knelt down tremblingly, and shouted repeatedly: "Your Majesty spares your life!" Your Majesty spares your life! ”

Jing Zhaoyin, who was hiding in the corner, also hurriedly came out to explain: "The dog made a big mistake before, and I was afraid that Your Majesty would be upset when she saw the old minister, so I changed positions with the servants of the ministry, please forgive your Majesty!" ”

"That's the case, Aiqing doesn't have to worry too much, there is an ancient saying that the father pays the debt of the son, and there is no reason for the son to sin the father." After Chu Lingzhao finished speaking, he waved his hand to let Jing Zhaoyin go back and sit.

A few days ago, Zhang Ling was punished, Jing Zhaoyin lost face, and today he went to the banquet alone, sitting in the corner was already gloomy, for fear of being counted and seen the joke, but he didn't expect Chu Lingzhao to personally name him, and he wanted to brush his old face repeatedly, and when he returned to his seat, Jing Zhaoyin's face was even more ugly.

Hearing Jingzhao Yin Fangcai's words, Su Li lifted his eyes and swept around the area where he was sitting, and not far from him, he saw a middle-aged man dressed elegantly and with a serious face, it was Zhao Zhong, the servant of the court officials, and Su Li's second sister was promised to his second son, Zhao Heng.

The matchmaker originally said that Zhao Heng was gentle and elegant, personable, and a natural match with Su Zhaoyue, and the two got engaged after Su Zhaoyue and Xu, Su Li was not at ease, and begged Gu Yuanfeng to take her to see it once, and glanced at it from a distance, only knowing that Zhao Heng was quite handsome, not crooked melons and cracked dates, but he didn't expect him to withdraw from the marriage later!

Thinking of the past, Su Li looked at Zhao Zhong for a little longer, Zhao Zhong noticed it, turned his head to look at Su Li, and saw her standing beside Chu Huai'an, dressed differently from other palace maids, and immediately knew Su Li's identity, frowned, and his expression was full of disdain.

Chu Huai'an was watching the play with a long and looking forward to it, but unexpectedly saw Zhao Zhong's expression, the corners of his lips grinned, revealing a cruel smile: "I didn't expect that Lord Zhao and Lord Zhang's personal relationship was so good, Ben Hou thought that you would die of old age and never get along." ”

Su Zhaoyue first promised the Zhao family, and after the Zhao family withdrew from the marriage, she married Zhang Ling again, if this kind of thing is placed in the ordinary people's homes, the two families will not be said to be feuding, and they will definitely not have too much contact on weekdays, they are like this now, it is indeed very abnormal.

"The marriage of children has their own destiny, I have been an official in the same dynasty as Lord Zhang for many years, how can I be estranged because of such a trivial matter?" Zhao Zhong said seriously, thought about it, and looked at Su Li meaningfully: "Besides, the marriage of Lord Zhang's beloved son was given by the noble concubine and His Majesty, which is a match made in heaven, and there is no reason for the minister and Lord Zhang to be estranged." ”

The concubine and His Majesty gave it personally?

Su Li's hand clenched suddenly, the time was urgent that day, and the green sleeves only said that Su Zhaoyue had a bad time in the past few years, but did not explain the origin of this marriage, and now he suddenly heard Zhao Zhong mention it, and his heart cramped again.

It turned out to be a royal marriage, no wonder Zhang Ling was so arrogant and tyrannical, but the people of the Su family didn't care, and they didn't even do face-saving work.

Su Bangyue, you are really a good sister!

The breathing behind him was a little short, Chu Huai'an's thoughts were interrupted, and he turned his head to look at Su Li: "What's wrong?" But it's uncomfortable again? ”

The tone was quite caring, Su Li looked down at him, wanting to ask him if he knew what Su Bangyue had done, but when the words came to his mouth, he only felt very sarcastic, how could he not even know what she could find out in just a few days after she returned to Beijing? It's just that he indulges that sweetheart......

"I'm fine!" Su Li shook her head, and even took a step back to widen the distance from him, Chu Huai'an's eyes lit up, sensing her resistance, but today is a big deal, and he shouldn't be too frivolous to provoke too much gossip for her.

Thinking of this, Chu Huai'an suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "Be honest, if there is any discomfort, don't give the master a dead support, the master does not lack you a face!" ”

"Okay."

Su Li agreed in a low voice, quietly listening to everyone's conversation, and after a while, Zhao Hanzhuo walked with An Jue and Zhao Qi.

An Jue and Zhao Qi wore cyan court clothes, and they also wore some bright color ornaments to show festivity, only Zhao Hanzhuo, because the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple needs to be cold-faced and iron-clad, the court clothes are cold ink, and the silver threads on the clothes are also glowing with cold light.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, this person's face is still tense, there is no smile, wood, not like he came to celebrate the New Year, but like he came to investigate some unjust, false and wrong case.

"Wait and greet Your Majesty!"

The three of them knelt down and saluted, their backs straightened, and their voices were loud, all of them were in the style of military generals, and as soon as the voice came out, the entire imperial garden was shaken to a quiet place.

"Aiqing, please get up!" The three of them rose in response.

Zhao Hanzhuo is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the official residence is the third grade, and the position is next to Lu Guogong Lu Xiao, although An Jue is the head of the military intelligence department, but this department is newly established, and his rank is not very high in theory, but he also sat down next to Zhao Hanzhuo, and when he looked at this position, he knew that he had a lot to do with the concubine An Guifei in the palace.

Zhao Qinai entered the office, and his rank was not very high, so he sat opposite Gu Yuanfeng.

As soon as the three of them sat down, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee were basically all there, and the palace people served some small snacks and hot tea for people to chat.

After chatting for a while, it was no fun, and I don't know who proposed to start the literary competition, so everyone took out the lottery heads that had been prepared long ago.

The military attache has never liked these crepe things, and some people know that their writing is not good, so they bet with the military attache with the lottery to see who is the final winner.

After some statistics, the number of people who bet on Yuanfeng is the most, after all, the reputation of the first talent in Kyoto is not in vain.

Su Li also selfishly felt that Gu Yuanfeng had a great chance of winning, but this was a discordant voice but interjected: "The minister bets that Miss Su San will win!" ”

Following the prestige, An Jue took out a silver wire openwork blank jade bead and put it on the table.

Last time, Chu Huai'an beat him violently, the bruises on his face had disappeared, and he returned to his handsome appearance, but when he looked at Su Li, the playfulness in his eyes was even worse, it should be because of what happened last time, and he held a grudge against Su Li.

Because of his words, the people began to discuss.

Gu Yuanfeng hooked his lips and took a piece of black jade pendant and put it on the table: "Xiaguan also bets that Ah Li will win." ”

The black jade pendant is the heirloom of the Gu family, and compared with other powerful things, although it is not priceless, it is of great significance to Gu Yuanfeng.

Su Li's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly spoke: "This competition is a fun game between adults, folk girls have no talent and no virtue, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, please don't make fun of me." ”

This self-depreciation was already very rejective, but I didn't want An Jue to speak again: "Why should Miss Su San be humble, you studied under Master Gu back then, and you participated in the imperial examination in men's clothes and won the position of Tanhua, it can be seen that you are talented, An Mou never had the opportunity to see your style back then, and I have always felt very regretful!" Do you have any empathy for this official? ”

Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone has long felt bored, this year can have new fun, naturally all are interested in watching the excitement, then Zhao Zhong is the first to respond to An Jue to bet on Su Li.

Su Li was angry, and she wanted to excuse herself, but she saw Zhao Hanzhuo touch it for a long time, and took out a gadget wrapped in colored silk from her sleeve pocket and threw it into the clay pot where she bet, making a soft clanging sound, it was actually the half-rusted knife handle that Lu Xiao gave Su Li last time.

"Xia Guan also wants to see it."

Zhao Hanzhuo said indifferently, put his hands into his sleeves, and returned to the previous sitting posture without squinting, as if the person who had just participated in the bet was not him!

In terms of this person's cold temperament, most of them will not participate in this kind of thing easily, so Zhao Hanzhuo made a note, and the others talked about it as if they had exploded.

Chu Huai'an saw that the corners of his lips twitched, and he couldn't hold back for a long time, turned his head and grabbed Su Li's wrist and asked, "Under the nose of the master, you dare to provoke so many people behind the back of the master?!" ”

"I ......"

Just as he was about to explain, there were two more crisp sounds, but it was Lu Guogong and Jing Zhaoyin who threw their gadgets into it.

Someone took the lead, and everyone else actively bet, even Zhao Qi lost two copper plates and bet on Su Li, and in the end, the palace people sang the vote, and Su Li and Gu Yuanfeng's notes were on par!

"In this way, then let Gu Aiqing and Miss Su face off, if anyone wins, all the lottery heads on the scene will belong to the winner." Chu Lingzhao announced that there were two clay pots on the table in front of him, and the jars were full, which was the most colorful in recent years, which showed how enthusiastic everyone was to participate.

Chu Lingzhao had already spoken, but he couldn't shirk it, and Su Li could only respond with a hard head.

The palace people announced the rules according to the usual practice, and the competition was divided into two fields, poetry and calligraphy.

Poetry means that everyone randomly assigns a proposition, composes a poem around the proposition, and then votes for the winner.

Calligraphy is the on-site transcription of any page of an article to show the skill of writing.

After the rules were finished, a palace person immediately brought it to the table, presented pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and separated the two by a screen, so that they could not peek or talk.

Su Li began to study ink, not too sure about the poems to be tested for a while, and was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard Gu Yuanfeng raise her voice and say, "Why doesn't Master Hou bet?" ”

"I love to be lively, and in previous years, you were the most active in this matter, why are you so depressed today? Aren't you worried that Miss Su will lose? Chu Lingzhao also asked, he had the highest status, and as a referee, he didn't bet for the sake of fairness.

Chu Huai'an was still sulking, and when he heard the sound, he wanted to untie the close-fitting jade pendant on his waist, and he was empty, remembering that he had just given Su Li, he was even more angry, and he touched his body for a while, and he untied a sachet and was about to throw it out, but was stopped by Gu Yuanfeng.

"Hou Ye just said that Ah Li signed a deed of sale with you, can the lower official ask Hou Ye to use this deed as a note?"

"What are you going to do?" Chu Huai'an exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, the hair on his body stood upside down, and he was about to pounce on it and scratch people if he didn't say a word: "If you want to win a game, you will rob people with your master?" Be your daydream! ”

"Master Hou misunderstood, I didn't want to take the deed of sale, but if the official loses to Ah Li today, it can be seen that his talent is above the official, and the official is still in the court, but she is a slave under you, how should this be counted?"

Yes, a person who has only learned above the court officials, but he is a slave under the Marquis of Xiaoyao, what is this?

"Xia Guan didn't want to rob Hou Ye, he just hoped that Hou Ye would give her back her freedom."

Returning the wool to the free body, is it her own deliberate bump into Lao Tzu's hands, okay!

Chu Huaian retorted in his heart, but he still didn't want to take out the contract. This little thing makes him unpredictable, and he doesn't have any credentials in his hand, so he really doesn't feel at ease.

He didn't want to, but he didn't know that although Su Li had pressed his handprint, he hadn't gone to the government to register it, and Su Li was not really a slave.

"You can bet whatever you want! Can you handle it? ”

After Chu Huai'an said scoundrelly, he threw the purse into the clay pot on behalf of Su Li, and sat down angrily, Gu Yuanfeng frowned, and besides, Su Li whispered through the screen: "It's just a piece of paper, Mr. doesn't have to be so persistent." ”

After all, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, can't make things too stiff, Gu Yuanfeng pursed his lips and lost his voice, the palace people moved the gong to prepare to ring the gong as a trumpet, Gu Yuanfeng proposed again: "Your Majesty, if the two competitions are not won or lost, the courtier wants to try another national theory!" ”

National theory, that is, the discussion and analysis of the national conditions of the current dynasty, this is generally a way to try to write articles in the imperial examination to judge whether there is a way to govern the country.

At that time, Su Li women disguised themselves as men to participate in the imperial examination, and they obtained Tanhualang by virtue of the article "The drought in the north and the flood in the south are incomprehensible, and the foundation of the country is not guaranteed".

Hearing the word "national theory", Su Li's eyes suddenly lit up, she wanted to hint to His Majesty that someone was embezzling military salaries, and it was better to take this opportunity, Chen Shuzhi would be presented to Chu Lingzhao in front of everyone's eyes, and no one would intercept him halfway.

But now there is no evidence, she can't say bluntly that someone has embezzled military salaries, and she will be burned, not to mention, even Lu Ji's killing of the grain transport envoy will probably be discovered immediately.

Chu Lingzhao was quite interested in Gu Yuanfeng's proposal, and pondered for a moment before speaking: "Aiqing's proposal is very good, if you can make an article that benefits the country and the people, I will be rewarded!" ”

The gong was struck, and the competition officially began.

The first poetic scene, the proposition is a new life.

Chu Lingzhao just welcomed the dragon heir, knowing that everyone wanted to please a good fortune, Su Li wrote some in the direction of parent-child, Gu Yuanfeng's direction was reborn in Nirvana, and the focus and intention were much higher than Su Li.

Everyone turned their heads to each other, and sure enough, the woman's vision was narrow, and there was still no man in the air.

Su Li didn't care much, but Gu Yuanfeng said through the screen: "Regardless of winning or losing, these lottery heads today belong to you and me, master and apprentice, even if Ah Li really wants to lose, don't lose too deliberately, okay?" ”

Hearing this, it sounded like the master and apprentice deliberately pretending not to know and deceive these people, Su Li couldn't help but laugh: "Sir, just now I deliberately tried to curry favor and win, not to lose." ”

"That's good!" Gu Yuanfeng sighed and stopped talking.

The palace people took two books from the library pavilion, both of which were military books, and in order not to take up too much time, they only needed to copy one page.

Su Li's own handwriting is generally small and delicate, but back then, Gu Yuanfeng asked her to copy the wild grass of calligraphy for a period of time, but she was still young at that time, and her wrist strength was insufficient, so she couldn't write cursive Juan's domineering spirit, and now she has been honing outside the plug for a while, and her wrist strength is much stronger than before.

Thinking of this, Su Li first copied two sentences in cursive on the paper, and after regaining his senses, he withdrew the paper and copied it again.

As soon as she put down the pen, her wrist moved as if she had self-consciousness, and the flow of water was unstoppable, and these tactics made her think of the people at the border and the vast world, her chest was open, and the pen was free and easy, and the whole word was almost in one go.

Putting away the pen, her wrist was a little pantothenic, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her back, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, put down the pen and retreated, and asked the palace people to take away the page, and her head probed over the screen, Gu Yuanfeng hadn't finished writing, and dipped in ink leisurely, but with her left hand.

Why did he switch to left-handed writing?

Su Li was surprised, after a while, Gu Yuanfeng also put down the pen, the two pieces of paper were blocked by the palace people and framed and displayed around the field, everyone looked left and left, and was quite hesitant when voting, and finally voted out, Su Li had three more votes than Gu Yuanfeng.

As soon as the palace people revealed it, everyone was in an uproar, and they didn't expect that this cursive script was actually written by Su Li.

"This cursive writing is smooth and full of energy, but I didn't expect it to be written by Miss Su San, how can a woman have such courage and mind? Isn't it that the third lady has been selected by some master outside in the past five years? ”

Lu Guogong stroked his beard and said that he had fought on the battlefield all his life, and after removing his armor, his body fell into the old disease and could no longer dance with knives and guns, and he began to practice calligraphy and self-cultivation.

"Lord Guogong has won the prize."

Su Li avoided the important and did not answer this question positively, mainly because she didn't want to mention the master-apprentice relationship with Gu Yuanfeng in front of everyone, she was in the limelight at this time, and it was hard to guarantee that no one would ridicule him with this matter in the future.

Su Li has his own considerations, and it is different when it falls in Chu Huai'an's ears, others don't know the inside story, but he knows that in the past five years, there is no one else who can point Su Li except Lu Ji.

Not only is it a little bit of dialing, but the children are all brought back!

Chu Huai sneered with peace of mind, and his mouth couldn't be idle, chewing a snack and speaking: "If you win, you win, don't make excuses for Lord Gu's face." ”

Chu Huai'an has been so arrogant for a day or two, everyone has long been used to it, this topic was about to be turned over, but An Jue spoke again: "Sure enough, it is better than blue, and Miss Su San's calligraphy attainments are a few points higher than that of Master Gu." ”

This person reminded everyone again and again that the master-apprentice relationship between Su Li and Gu Yuanfeng was by no means ordinary.

"Master Gu has taught the people's girls for several years, and the people's daughters are inexhaustible, but since five years ago, the people's girls and Master Gu have severed the master-apprentice relationship, please don't mention the teacher several times or three times, the people's daughters are ashamed!"

Su Li cleared up her relationship with Gu Yuanfeng in front of everyone, so that someone would not splash dirty water on him in the future.

Su Li took the initiative to mention that five years ago, the eyes of the people present looked at her and changed, some of them were new to the court and didn't understand, and the people next to her were muttering to him to explain, Su Liangxing was sitting next to him, and his face was not good.

What did Zhong Aiqing mutter? You might as well be louder, and let me hear anecdotes that I haven't heard of in the ordinary. Chu Lingzhao played with the teacup and said softly, what happened five years ago was so big, how could he not know, everyone hurriedly silenced.

The atmosphere was slightly stiff, and Chu Huai'an came out to play the round without smiling: "What interesting things can these dead old-fashioned things do, if the imperial cousin wants to hear it, it would be as interesting as me bringing a few notebooks in the future." ”

"I have a point, isn't there one last game left, let's continue." Chu Lingzhao spoke, the palace people immediately sounded the gong, and Su Li and Gu Yuanfeng continued to compete.

Su Li had been thinking about how to write, and as soon as the gong struck, she put pen to paper and wrote it freely.

When she wrote about the drought in the north and the flood in the south, she was still in the boudoir, and her understanding of the people's livelihood and suffering came from books, not profound, and it was flashy to display many methods, and now she has been in the border for five years, and even the cold wind in the winter at the border has been carved into the cracks of the bones, and it is naturally much more pragmatic to write than back then.

Half an hour later, Su Li put down the pen, waited for the ink to dry, and did not wait for the palace people to come to collect the paper, and presented the written three pages with her own hands: "The bad knowledge of the people's daughter, please take a look at Your Majesty!" ”

"Presumptuous! Ignorant women, since they are bad knowledge, how dare they present them to His Majesty? Su Liangxing slammed into the palace, the rules in the palace were strict, and all items were presented to Chu Lingzhao by special palace people.

Su Li's back straightened, and she held the three thin pages of paper above her head: "Please take a look, Your Majesty!" ”

Please look at it, this is the voice of tens of thousands of soldiers in the border pass, but also the voice of the people in the bitter cold land of the border pass, how fortunate she is to be able to write all kinds of things in the meantime, how fortunate she is to be able to hand it to the hands of the Ninety-Five.

Su Li's heart was filled with a sigh of relief, and it was not until Chu Lingzhao took the three pages with his own hands that he slowly spit it out.

She had been writing the contents of the three pages for half an hour, and from the angle from which she knelt and looked up, she could see the young emperor's serious eyebrows, and he looked very attentively, and every word on them caught his eyes.

He will know what kind of life the soldiers who guard the border passes, what kind of life the people live in the border passes, and he will also know that the singing and dancing in Beijing does not mean that the country and the people are safe and free of war.

"National defense must not be slackened for a day, and military aircraft cannot rest for a moment."

After a long time, Chu Lingzhao read out the title of her article softly, and as soon as the fourteen words came out, the imperial garden was silent, no one talked and laughed lightly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the thin three pages.

What a bold woman this is, who dares to talk arrogantly about military politics!

After reading the title, Chu Lingzhao pressed the paper under his hand and did not evaluate it, and after waiting for a while, Gu Yuanfeng finished writing, and the palace people submitted the article, Chu Lingzhao took it and studied it carefully as usual, and read the title after a while: "Confucianism is endless, women should be self-reliant." ”

This is Gu Yuanfeng's concept of promoting women's studies in Rentai Academy, and when he made this article, everyone was not surprised at all, they just watched and wanted to see Chu Lingzhao's evaluation of Su Li's article.

After reading the two articles, Chu Lingzhao glanced at the palace people next to him, and immediately two palace people stepped forward and circulated the two articles to everyone.

In the end, both articles reached Lu Guogong, who took the articles and read them for a long time without speaking.

"In this game, who do you think is better than Zhong Aiqing?"

The question is so, and the comparable is no longer literary style.

In the past two years, some people have repeatedly said that military aircraft are redundant and military expenditures are too large, although Lu Guogong resigned from military affairs and was idle at home, Chu Lingzhao still consulted him many times, and he did not agree with disarmament, but this year, the voice of disarmament was too loud, and he had no choice but to retreat and let Chu Lingzhao make his own decision, so he set up a military intelligence department to investigate various military expenditures first, and then think about how to disarm.

But now that the Military Intelligence Department has not advanced the investigation, Su Li came out and said that the border is in trouble, and the life of the soldiers is hard, if she wins today, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the minister who played before? If she loses today, what will happen to the disarmament in the future will not only be the officials who played the game before, but also the others here who will be to blame.

Everyone was worried, no one dared to speak easily, Chu Huai'an looked left and left, and sneered: "Why are they all dumb?" Surprised by the talent of the master's people? After speaking, he lazily spit out the melon seed shell.

These words are clearly Zhan Suli, but his appointments in the court are all idle positions, and he is a relative of the emperor, so it doesn't matter if he says it.

Everyone looked at each other, but they still didn't dare to speak, Su Liangxing was so angry after reading Su Li's article, and just about to open his mouth to scold, An Jue came out again: "The border is in trouble, how can Miss Su, a weak woman, know so much?" ”

"After the people's daughter left home five years ago, she was exiled to the border pass by chance, and her deceased husband worked as a merchant in the city guarded by General Lu, walking the streets and alleys all day long, and occasionally supplying some daily necessities to the army, so he knew the truth better than the adults who advocated disarmament in the DPRK and China."

“……”

At this time, the husband has become a seller again?

Chu Huai'an knocked on the melon seeds and quietly looked at Su Li's nonsense without changing his face.

Everyone was so shocked that they didn't notice the word 'dead husband' in her mouth for a while, but the ministers who advocated disarmament before couldn't sit still, and they wanted to refute with red faces, but Lu Guogong suddenly spoke.

"The minister has been fighting all his life, and now he is idle at home, and he does not dare to have any doubts about disarmament, but he can guarantee that the content of the book written by this girl of the Su family is not half of a fake!"

“……”

Lu Guogong personally vouched, who would dare to say that what Su Li wrote was fabricated out of thin air?

Several ministers who were about to refute were choked and their faces turned purple, not counting, Zhao Hanzhuo, who had been sitting quietly as a statue, also stood up, walked to the middle and sat down: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that what Lord Guogong and Miss Su said alone is too thin to confirm the truth of what is said in the article. ”

"That's it! That's what Lord Zhao said. ”

Several adults whispered, thinking that they had misunderstood Lord Zhao before, where was he unkind, so it would be good to seek truth from facts.

However, before he finished boasting, Zhao Hanzhuo's words changed: "The minister asks for a thorough investigation of this matter, if what Miss Su said is not true, today is Lord Gu's victory, if what Miss Su said is true, the minister thinks that Miss Su's article is better than Lord Gu." ”

Everyone: "......"

Lord Zhao, are there too few recent cases in Dali Temple? You have eaten too much and have nothing to do, and you are specifically asked to investigate the authenticity of an article?

Everyone complained in their hearts, but Zhao Hanzhuo spoke righteously, not feeling that he was chopping cabbage with a cattle killing knife.

"Lord Zhao, you are overstepping the rules like this, it is a matter of military intelligence, even if you want to investigate, the military intelligence department should investigate this matter." An Jue got up and spoke, his expression was already displeased, Zhao Hanzhuo was not annoyed, and responded calmly: "Lord An is here, the Military Intelligence Department has been established for half a year, in the opinion of Lord An, is Miss Su's article true or false?" ”

An Jue didn't expect Zhao Hanzhuo to kick the ball to himself at this time, his face sank, and he listened to Zhao Hanzhuo continue: "What Lord An just said is more than right, the lower officials do not approve, this matter is not only related to military intelligence, if this article is fake, it is to deceive the monarch and maliciously deceive the lottery of your colleagues, which is widely implicated, and it is the biggest big case that the lower officials have seen since they joined the company!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Lord Zhao, please shut up and be that ruthless iron-masked judge, and say less!

In terms of eloquence, Zhao Hanzhuo has tried cases for many years, and how many criminals have pried open their iron and bronze teeth, and An Jue naturally can't talk about him. On the law, the laws of Yuanzhao Kingdom have been revised and improved several times, all of which were done by Zhao Hanzhuo and the Law Yuan, and his whole person is a walking Yuanzhao law, and An Jue can't argue with him.

Therefore, An Jue could only be dumbfounded by Zhao Hanzhuo, and honestly knelt down to answer the question with anger suppressed.

"Back to Your Majesty, although the Military Intelligence Department has been established for more than half a year, the classification and sorting of military salaries and military rosters alone is very arduous, and the ministers are incompetent, and they have not yet had time to personally go to various places to investigate military supplies, so they dare not assert whether Miss Su's book is true or false."

Chu Lingzhao nodded, did not blame An Jue, and waited for the palace people to take back the two articles, put them next to them at will, and said in a deep voice: "The military intelligence department is newly established, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and it is indeed hard for An Zhuwei to work hard, but today's competition cannot be without a result, since Zhao Aiqing has the heart to take care of it, then this case will be handled by him, and the military intelligence department does not need to assist in handling the case, but the Dali Temple needs to handle the case, and you can freely enter and leave the military intelligence department and access the files!" ”

The Son of Heaven said that it is impossible to turn back, although this matter does not need to be contributed by the Military Intelligence Department, but it is also a slash from the Military Intelligence Department, revealing a gap, and the special power at the beginning of the establishment was restrained by the Dali Temple.

An Jue secretly gritted a good tooth, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only thank Zhao Hanzhuo and return to his seat.

"I can't tell the winner or loser today, you Aiqing will take your things back first, and when Zhao Aiqing's investigation has the results, I will reward them again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone thanked them, and the palace people returned the corresponding objects next to each other, Su Li returned to Chu Huai'an's side, and happened to see the palace people returning a purse to Chu Huai'an.

The purse is silver, embroidered with colored silk with a fat kitten, the kitten is cute and cute, but it has been worn for a long time, and the silk thread is a little worn.

"This is ......" Su Li was puzzled, and intuitively felt that the purse was very familiar, but Chu Huai'an had already quickly put the purse into his arms: "There is nothing to see!" ”

He hid it so eagerly, as if he was afraid of being seen, and his ears were dyed crimson, Su Li remembered that Su Wanyue was good at being a woman and had made a lot of purses, that ...... It was also his idea to get it, others don't know it, but it's not good for Su Li to see it.

Thinking of this, Su Li didn't force it, because of the one just now, she stood behind Chu Huai'an honestly, and didn't want to cause trouble again.

However, as soon as he stood still, An Jue stood up again: "The literary test has been compared, but the martial arts test has not yet been, there are many newly recruited military attaches this year, do you want to bet on a lottery?" ”

Everyone: "......"

An Zhuwei, you can shut up, your military intelligence department has just been inserted by Dali Temple, and you don't hold your tail to be a man, what kind of moth is you making trouble?

The crowd who had just been taken aback lacked interest, and no one responded.

It was cold, An Jue couldn't hold his face a little, his eyes swept around, and several colleagues who were good friends with him on weekdays raised their hands.

The palace people held the clay pot and looked at their noses and noses without moving, after all, Chu Lingzhao hadn't spoken yet, and they didn't dare to shout without arrogance.

was stagnant, Lu Guogong raised his hand and threw the silver nude that had just made a color head into the clay pot, and made a jingle bell: "I heard that there are a few rising stars this year, but the old man wants to see it." ”

Chinese New Year's Eve is once a year, and the opportunity to be in the limelight like this is really rare, although Lu Xiao does not ask about the dynasty, he still has the idea of promoting new people.

Lu Ji guarded the border passes, he was extremely relieved, but the DPRK still had to promote some capable generals, in case there was a need in the future, he would not fall into a situation where there was no reinforcement.

Lu Xiao took the lead, and the others saw that Chu Lingzhao had no objection, and they also bet one after another, but the atmosphere was not as warm as it was, the palace people turned around, and quickly turned to Gu Yuanfeng's side, he changed a string of pearl fan pendants and was about to throw them into the clay pot, but was stopped by Chu Huai'an: "Slow!" ”

The hand holding the fan pendant paused in the air: "What's the matter with Master Hou?" ”

"Master Gu just bet on Moyu, why did he change it to a fan pendant now? Isn't it that Lord Gu values literature over military force and looks down on military generals? ”

The civil and military affairs are light, this is very offensive, Gu Yuanfeng can't get off the stage, so he can only change the Mo Yu of Fang Cai, but his face has not changed: "The next official is Hou Ye, this martial arts test, Hou Ye wins!" ”

Chu Huai'an has always been a bohemian image outside, and in previous years, he also bet positively, almost never participating in such competitions, and now Gu Yuanfeng is betting on Chu Huai'an, and everyone suddenly remembered that when Xiaoyao Hou was young, he also won the championship in the spring hunt, and he was a young man with both civil and military skills, but those old things were too far away, and everyone subconsciously ignored them.

Thinking of this stubble, everyone's eyes lit up with interest again.

Chu Huai'an bent his eyes, knowing that Gu Yuanfeng was going to fight him.

Everyone is not a fool, the original boring New Year's celebration, because of the secret competition between the two became climaxing, although I don't know what moths will come out, but it is also particularly exciting and interesting.

Thinking of this, everyone bet one after another, and Zhao Hanzhuo also bet on Chu Huai'an with the trend, and after placing the bet, he still said the sentence just now: "The lower officials also want to see it!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Lord Zhao, aren't you a gecko reincarnated?
