That night, Yao Yuanchong asked Xue Shao to borrow the study, and spent the night immersed himself in pen and ink, and wrote an article of thousands of words. It is not a poem like "the Yellow River is far above the white clouds", nor is it a Confucian classic exposition like Zi Yuefei, but an argumentative point of view and solutions for the shortcomings that exist in all strata and corners of Tang society today.

At dawn the next day, Li Xianyuan got up early to prepare to go to the palace to take up his post, and saw Yao Yuanchong pacing back in the courtyard of the second courtyard with a paper manuscript.

"Brother Yao stayed up all night?" Li Xianyuan stepped forward and said.

Yao Yuanchong smiled and nodded, "Xue Gongzi Gaoyi, allow me to go to the investment bank." The day of the spring expedition is not far away, and Yao wrote an article overnight. Now I am hesitating, should I give the article to Xue Gongzi? ”

"Do you still need to hesitate about this good thing of green smoke coming from the ancestral tomb?" Li Xianyuan blinked curiously, "Brother Yao, can you show the article to Xiaosheng?" ”

"Brother Li, please take a look." Yao Yuanchong did not shy away from giving him the article directly.

Li Xianyuan picked up the article and read it for a while, his face cramped, closed the article, and said: "Brother Yao, there is a saying that if you are not in your position, you will not do anything. What do you think about the bureaucrats who are in office when you write something like this in a white body? …… Well, even if this dynasty is widely open, scholars can also discuss politics. But you are still discussing the disadvantages of the wealthy clans in controlling the temple and local authority in the article, and suggesting that the court will conduct fair scientific examinations to obtain excellent talents-are you going to lift the stones, and give Xue Gongzi and Xue Ke a little to them first? ”

Yao Yuanchong shrunk his neck, grinned bitterly twice with an embarrassed expression, "That's why Yao hesitated!" ”

Li Xianyuan scratched his face and shook his head. Xin said, it seems that Yao Yuanchong did not intend to use Xue Shao's high branch to mix up an official position, even if it was a success. If this article can be favored by Xue Kegou, then he will be willing to be Xue Kegou's protégé; If he can be adopted by the imperial court, he will be willing to be this official!

Yao Yuanchong is really arrogant!

"No, I rewrote it!" Li Xianyuan took out the majesty of an "official", folded the paper manuscript and stuffed it into his pocket with a stinky face, and patted his chest, "Aren't you joking about your career?" Aren't you going to live up to Xue Gongzi's kindness? ”

"Brother Li, please return the article to me!" Yao Yuanchong stretched out his hand pitifully.

"Don't give! You go and write two poems and give them to Xue Gongzi, and go and vote for the scroll! Li Xianyuan glared at him angrily, "Brother Yao, listen to me, if you don't die, you won't die!" You have to make a bold move, and wait until you have the conditions to plan! At a time like this, what are you tossing around? ”

After that, Li Xianyuan shook his hand and left with a swagger.

"Hey, hey! Brother Li! ......" Yao Yuanchong hurriedly chased after him.

Xue Shao stood by the window of his bedroom, getting dressed, and laughing as he watched the scene outside.

These two bohemian friends can actually be called "wonderful people".

Although Li Xianyuan is a "crooked talent" who is greedy for money, lustful and loves to brag nonsense, he is still very accomplished in metaphysics. And Xue Shao felt that Li Xianyuan, a bastard, was as fine as a ghost, but he was usually very stupid and clumsy.

Yao Yuanchong is a piece of genuine material, but it is not the kind that is rooted and red. If it was an ordinary person who was favored and promoted by the nobles, he would have fallen to his knees happily and hugged his thighs. But he didn't want to bend his ways.

Although Xue Shao didn't see that article, he could guess a thing or two from the conversation between the two of them, and there were even things that were unfavorable to the Xue clan.

Xue Shao felt that if I wanted to speak from a selfish point of view, this Yao Yuanchong was really "ignorant of lifting"; This may be the reason why Yao Yuanchong has always refused to be an official before, or that he can't enter the office-which minister Shuoru is willing to accept such an ignorant and restless protégé?

But from the perspective of public heart, Yao Yuanchong is indeed thinking about the country and wants to do a real career. But Yao Yuanchong is not in the "system" after all, and some of his ideas are a little naïve - let alone Yao Yuanchong, even if it is several generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty, they don't want to solve the problem of the gate valve's long-term judgment on politics, then it can be solved! Moreover, if one day under the leadership of Yao Yuanchong, the Wuxing Yao clan also became a Dashi clan, what would happen to him?

There is often a huge gap between ideals and reality. The evolution of history and the creation of the times have their own internal natural laws. Therefore, Xue Shao was not worried and hostile to Yao Yuanchong's political views and ideas. But thinking about it the other way around, Minister Shuoru will not accept Yao Yuanchong, but there is a kind of person who will.

Emperor of the world.

Li Xianyuan, a "traitor", must be going to the palace today to see the queen of heaven to report some information about the "quasi-concubine". That article was put in his pocket, will it appear on the royal case of the Queen of Heaven later?

Xue Shao decided not to interfere in this matter.

If Li Xianyuan didn't hand over the article, Xue Shao would certainly not have to break it. When the water is clear, there are no fish, and "rare confusion" is also suitable for getting along with friends.

If Li Xianyuan handed over the article, it would be the best.

Because if the current queen wants to become the future Wu Zetian, she must break the existing pattern of power and break the monopoly of power on the Shi clan - Wu Zetian in history reopened the scientific examination and invented the form of "covering his head and pasting his name" to hide the names of candidates for anonymous examinations, and even created an unprecedented martial arts scientific examination, just to recruit more talents from the poor.

Let's not say whether the goal has been achieved, at least Wu Zetian has this political need. Although Wu Zetian can't do these things now, she must have long been aware of the problems raised by Yao Yuanchong - even Yao Yuanchong can think of these problems, can the queen of the country's ruling world not think of it?

If she sees this article that is secretly in line with her heart, Wu Zetian will definitely be happy in her heart. Based on Wu Zetian's usual code of conduct and employment ideas, Yao Yuanchong may be able to reap the benefits in the future.

Xue Shao went to the polo court to temper his body like a person who had nothing to do, and saw that the demon was kicking his little buttocks, where his legs were trembling and squatting. The moon slave was practicing swords on the side, swishing coldly at the demon to prevent her from being lazy.

Xue Shao walked over and smiled: "Demon, how do you feel?" ”

"Legs, legs hurt so much, and my butt hurts too! I—I can't squat, I want to sit down! The demon snorted pitifully.

"No, you can't." The moon slave scolded angrily, lit a stick of incense and inserted it under the demon's buttocks, and said fiercely, "If you dare to sit down, burn your ass!" ”

"Woo, fairy brother, sister Yuenu, she bullied me!" The demon cried and complained.

Xue Shao smiled and touched the demon's head, "The moon slave is also for your good health." However, let's take it step by step, don't practice too hard, otherwise it will be easy to get hurt. ”

The moon slave nodded, "Don't worry, the moon slave knows it." ”

"Woo, you just want to repay me!" The demon pouted and cried, "You hate me for biting your chest when I slept last night!" ”

The moon slave's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, "Stinky girl, do you want to die?" ”

Xue Shao laughed a few times and ran to practice physical fitness.

Yao Yuanchong didn't snatch the article back from Li Xianyuan after all.

Grim-faced swayed to the side of the polo field, Yao Yuanchong saw Xue Shao running there from a distance. Scratching his head, frowning, walking around, he struggled for a while and didn't know what to tell him. After the last day, Yao Yuanchong still ran back to the study and racked his brains to collect dry intestines and wrote two poems.

After refining and washing, Xue Shao invited Yao Yuanchong to have breakfast together, and Yao Yuanchong took the poem to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao looked at it, to be honest, it was quite ordinary, at least worse than the poems of Li Bai, Du Fu and others that he had memorized when he was a student.

"Okay, I'll take it. Brother Yao went to prepare for the spring exam by himself. Xue Shao didn't say much.

Yao Yuanchong's face was embarrassed, "This...... Xue Gongzi, it's better not to vote for this line of rolls, right? Yao's talent is well known. Composing poems is really not Yao's strength. ”

"I think it's very good, so you don't have to be presumptuous." Xue Shao smiled indifferently, and said in his heart, what does it matter? Many people who invest in the bank also ask others to catch knives and ghostwrite! Unless you really want to be a poet who wants to be famous and genius, otherwise, it's just a formality.

To put it bluntly, the line scroll is not a poetry article, but a background and connection.

Yao Yuanchong scratched his head, grinned, and smiled bitterly, "Yao...... What a shame! ”

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, there's nothing to be ashamed of. If Brother Yao is really talented, he will naturally be able to convince people if he has made political achievements in the future. Xue Shao said, "Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty was still born as a slave, if it weren't for her sister Wei Zifu who happened to be taken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, would Wei Qing have a chance to become a generation of famous generals?" ”

"Alas!" Yao Yuanchong smiled bitterly twice, and bowed to Xue Shao, "Then Yao, you will be ashamed of Xue Gongzi's great kindness!" ”

"You're welcome." Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "You and I are friends of the quilt!" ”

"Huh?" Yao Yuanchong was stunned.

Xue Shao smiled: "It's the same quilt!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha! Xue Gongzi is really funny! Yao Yuanchong's face was hot, and he said in his heart that I hadn't covered Zhang Miao's quilt yet, but I just played backgammon with her all night! …… Ahem, ahem!

Imperial City, in the imperial study of the Xuanzheng Palace.

Wu Zetian was silent thoughtfully for a moment, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised to reveal a strange smile, "You mean, Xue Shao doesn't expect to cling to his clan seniors, but wants to get close to Pei Xingjian?" ”

Li Xianyuan, who was standing in the hall, wrinkled his eyebrows and shook his head, "Weichen can only relay Xue Gongzi's original words to the Queen of Heaven to listen. What exactly he thinks in his heart, Weichen doesn't know. ”

"You've got a very tight mouth." Wu Zetian seemed to be smiling.

"No, no, Weichen told everything he heard, and he didn't dare to hide it!" Li Xianyuan hurriedly said, "But Weichen can't use some guesses out of thin air to report to the queen of heaven!" Isn't that confusing the public and betraying friends for glory? ”

"That's true." Wu Zetian nodded lightly, picked up an article on the imperial case and threw it at Li Xianyuan, "Take this article back and give it to Xue Shao." You don't have to let him know, this palace has seen it. ”

"Yes." Li Xianyuan picked up the article and bowed it.

Wu Zetian paused and said, "Pei Xingjian and his wife are affectionate. His wife, Kudi, loves to eat fish, especially the fish caught by Pei Xingjian himself. ”

Li Xianyuan's eyes lit up, "Wei Chen knows." ”

"Let's go down!"

Li Xianyuan retreated.

Wu Zetian smiled playfully and said to his side: "Wan'er, don't you think it's strange that this Xue Shao wants to follow Rong?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her eyebrows and said smoothly: "Queen of Heaven, Wan'er can only say that everyone has their own ambitions." ”

Wu Zetian snorted, "Interesting." ”.
