Chapter 167: Thunder rises from the ground

In everyone's expectations, the top ten candidates in the imperial examination this time, they walked into the Qianqiu Hall in an orderly manner according to the formation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As candidates participating in the palace examination, they are undoubtedly the best people among all the candidates participating in the imperial examination, and they are now the most dazzling stars and the protagonists of everyone's attention.

But no matter how much glory they have, they are just a scholar with no official title on their body after all.

At the same time as today, the ministers who were already famous in the land of Nanqing appeared in the Qianqiu Hall at the same time, and they were also afraid in their hearts.

However, because there were eunuchs who had taught them before, they could only be strong and calm now, thinking that they were people who had seen big scenes, winds and waves.

The ten candidates all entered the Qianqiu Palace, and all the ministers stared at them with their eyes as if they had seen the demons and monsters of Tang Seng's meat, without a trace of shift.

There is no way, the face in the court is really disgusting and almost vomiting, and now that there is little fresh meat appearing, of course they have to take a few looks.

But Zhang Hua looked at a group of big men, staring at ten men and nodding constantly, he always felt that this scene was a little weird?

If the eunuch opened his mouth at this time and said: "Are the bosses satisfied, but not satisfied that I am changing the batch", then this kind of scene will have a familiar feeling.

"Your Majesty, the top ten people in the imperial examination have all arrived now." The eunuch said this, and after his words, the ten candidates also knelt down and saluted in unison and said, "The grass people see Your Majesty." ”

"Get up."

Yang Yanfan was like a drug lord inspecting the goods, and after finding that the faces of the ten people were faces and noses, he felt very satisfied, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After that, the ten people also stood up, and then bowed their heads and remained silent.

Although they are the protagonists this time, they also know that in the eyes of the officials and ministers who appeared in the Qianqiu Palace, they are nothing at all.

Power, seniority, and he is undoubtedly a scum in their eyes, so it's better to be modest.

"Yes, you are all the people of Nanqing, you have studied hard for many years, and finally come here, you can be so knowledgeable..."

Although Yang Yanfan did not have some sleepy words such as "um, ah, this, that" when the current leader spoke, for the opening speech, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric was, this could not hide the essence of nonsense.

And for nonsense, Zhang Hua will naturally choose to enter the left ear and go out with the right ear.

After holding back a yawn, a few tears appeared on Zhang Hua's eyes, and he wiped them away silently, just about to do the "experimental subject of whether you can fall asleep while standing", Tang Peng next to him touched Zhang Hua

"On the other side, from the mileage, the third row, the fifth person is Fang Jian."

Fang Jian?

After Zhang Hua heard this name, he suddenly sobered up, and according to what Tang Peng said, Zhang Hua also saw Fang Jian.

His face is delicate, and there is no majesty or grandeur in an official uniform, on the contrary, a faint femininity also appears on his face.

Obviously he is over thirty years old, but looking at his appearance, there is undoubtedly no difference from the little white face of later generations, the more this person looks, the more Zhang Hua feels less like a waiter.

If you have to describe Fang Jian's impression of Zhang Hua, then he is like, in order to satisfy customers with heavier tastes, he plays uniforms to tempt male public relations.

Such a person is actually in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works, really obtained by some dirty transactions that cannot be known to others?

Zhang Hua looked at Fang Jian, thinking like this in his heart, and after Fang Jian felt that someone was staring at him, he also turned around and looked in the direction of the general.

At this time, Zhang Hua and Fang Jiande's eyes met in mid-air, but there was no collision of sparks, Fang Jian's face did not change and smiled, and then he first withdrew from the eye contact with Zhang Hua.

The appearance of being calm and unhurried, without a little ripple, made Zhang Hua also curious.

"What an ordinary person." Zhang Hua whispered, Tang Peng glanced at Fang Jian, who was listening to Yang Yanfan's opening speech intently, retracted his gaze and responded in a low voice: "That's true." If such a person does not have an official position, he is an ordinary person, and I must have forgotten it a second after I saw him. ”

"But the more ordinary the person, the more terrible it is." Tang Peng added.

Zhang Hua nodded in agreement, then was stunned, looked at Tang Peng strangely and said, "Isn't this what I said?" ”

"Hehe, what you said is true, but I call it learning and using it to know or not."

"Use a fart, give money, or I will go to the official office to sue you for illegal use of property rights."

Tang Peng: "......"

"Shut up, two little ones, what do you think this is? Vegetable market! Shen Qiu on the side seemed to be unable to stand it, and after Zhang Hua Tang Peng "despised" the court at the moment, he turned around and whispered to the two.

Zhang Hua and Tang Peng were startled, and immediately restrained their minds and bowed their heads and didn't dare to speak, but then, the two of them heard a trace of snoring on Shen Qiu's body.

"Really... It's really an old bastard! Actually asleep? The reprimand we just now actually disturbed our sleep. ”

Zhang Hua and Tang Peng complained at this moment, and at this moment, Yang Yanfan stopped, and the eunuch on the side shouted sharply: "The palace test begins." ”

Immediately, except for the ten candidates who stayed here, the others also walked slowly and leisurely outside the Qianqiu Palace.

"That's it?" After Zhang Hua saw that the ministers and officials had left one after another, and Yang Yanfan had disappeared, he whispered in surprise.

"Then you think that we are just going through the motions, and the ten candidates have to answer the questions thoroughly in the Qianqiu Palace, of course we can't stay here." Tang Peng explained.

Zhang Hua seemed to understand something, and then followed the crowd and walked out of the hall, but after turning his head slightly and seeing Meng Wuchang nodding at him, Zhang Hua also smiled slightly in response.

And when he found that Shi Xuan was gritting his teeth at him, Zhang Hua grabbed Tang Peng on the side, and then the two of them raised their right feet together and kicked forward.

Shi Xuan's body trembled more and more, and Zhang Hua smiled more comfortably after seeing it

"Very good, the mentality is broken, I'll see how you play."

………

………

"Where are we going now?" After seeing that the ministers and officials who came out did not leave, but walked in a direction together, Zhang Hua asked curiously.

"Go, Zilan Palace." Tang Peng said.

"Purple Orchid Palace? Where to go and what to do? Zhang Hua asked puzzled.

Tang Peng looked like a fool, looking at Zhang Hua at the moment.

But after seeing that he really didn't understand anything, Tang Peng sighed helplessly, and could only explain to Zhang Hua in detail.

"When we enter the palace now, it's just a formality, and ten candidates will answer the questions thoroughly in the Qianqiu Hall for one night.

And when they answer the questions, we are going to the Zilan Hall for a banquet. ”

"To a feast? Party? ”

Zhang Hua asked in surprise, Tang Peng thought about the word party seriously, and nodded: "If I didn't guess wrong, the party in your mouth should be the same as banquet and hospitality, right?" ”

"It's... One meaning. ”

Immediately changed his expression, at this moment Tang Peng looked at Zhang Hua with an expression of looking at a hillbilly, and then continued: "You can also see that the Chinese martial arts of the court are not in harmony, not a little bit.

The different factions make both sides hate each other, and they can't wait to make each other disappear immediately.

But it is impossible for His Majesty to let this happen, as an emperor, the word balance is the crown of his life, although the two sides hate each other to achieve a balance, but no matter what, then this is not good.

In order to ease the relationship between the civil and military, His Majesty will invite civil and military officials to a banquet after the palace test opens. Attempts to ease relations between the two sides.

However, this move has little effect, on the contrary, it has become a habit, and it is impossible for His Majesty to withdraw now.

What's more, it's just a banquet, and there is no end to it, so Your Majesty also let them go. ”

When Zhang Hua heard this, he grinned, because he remembered a common saying in the past, which is called stealing chickens and rice. Although there is a bit of a difference, it is also very appropriate.

After Tang Peng saw Zhang Hua's stupid expression, he shook his head helplessly, patted Zhang Hua's shoulder, said not to give up the treatment, and then didn't say anything.

Outside the Zilan Palace, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs had a very tacit understanding, and after entering and finding each other's positions, they sat down to eat, and left after eating, without the slightest topic of mutual interaction.

After smelling the smell of food coming from the hall, Zhang Hua and Tang Peng were also about to enter, but at this time someone stopped them.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Tang, we meet again."

Jiang Chang suddenly appeared, which made the two of them a little curious, Tang Peng just nodded, and then immediately became dumb, without any intention of taking care of it,

Zhang Hua glanced at him quietly, and then changed his expression to a happy expression and asked, "Brother Jiang is also here, could it be that he is also here to attend the banquet?" ”

After Jiang Chang heard this, there was an obvious pause, but it had already recovered in an instant: "No, Your Majesty sent me to take charge of the banquet in the Zilan Palace." ”

Zhang Hua smiled stupidly, and at the same time felt that the question he asked made Jiang Chang a little ugly, because the three of them were all supervisors, and the two of them were about to feast, while Jiang Chang was out to eat the northwest wind.

Although this meal is nothing, the level gap in this is not to be underestimated.

"It seems that Your Majesty also attaches great importance to you, Brother Jiang, otherwise you would not be fully responsible for this matter, Your Majesty's grace to your holy family is really the envy of Brother Tang and me." Zhang Hua said.

And his compliment also made Jiang Chang's face soothe a lot, shook his head and smiled, and then Jiang Chang also put on a deservedly expression, and hurriedly said: "It's just to share your majesty's worries, Brother Zhang is polite." ”

Zhang Hua smiled, and then was silent, and after Jiang Chang found that the two had nothing to say, he also opened his mouth and said: "The two brothers, the next day after tomorrow, will prepare a banquet, and when they pour, they will send a name sticker, and they will appreciate their faces when they see it." ”

Zhang Hua was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It must be, it will be on time at that time." ”

"Yes, please."

After saying goodbye to Jiang Chang, Tang Peng and Zhang Hua also entered the Zilan Palace, and when the two of them turned around, the smile on Jiang Chang's face also condensed.

To say no envy, this is false.

The three of them are all inspectors of the Supervision Yuan, but as a result, Zhang Hua and Tang Peng hold the four most powerful forces, but the power in their hands is like chicken ribs, and it has nothing to do with each other at all.

Not only that, but at this moment, the two of them entered it on behalf of the Supervision Yuan, and they were like a watchdog, and they had to watch the wind for them!

Recalling Tang Peng's indifference and the disdain revealed, Jiang Chang's heart was also burning at this moment.

"Today's humiliation, when he is in power, he will be repaid!"

……

……

"No matter how unwilling you are, it's right to pretend, do we really want to turn against him?" After entering the Zilan Palace, Zhang Hua was a little dissatisfied and said to Tang Peng.

Tang Peng has no problem in dealing with major rights and wrongs, but in some details, he is like a child, provoking others everywhere.

Jiang Chang, although he is reluctant to associate with each other, after all, he represents His Majesty today, and the necessary respect must be given.

And what Tang Peng did before was not the first time, Zhang Hua was worried that if something really happened between the three of them because of this.

But no matter how he persuaded him, Tang Peng's attitude was still the same as before, and there was no improvement at all.

"Got it, I'll pay attention next time." Tang Peng replied nonchalantly, and after Zhang Hua saw this, he also shook his head helplessly.

Because Yang Yanfan no longer had any hope for the reconciliation of civil and military relations, he hurriedly showed up in the Zilan Hall and left immediately.

And the banquet was set up, the main body left, and the guests in the hall ate happily, and this kind of thing was also seen for the first time.

Sitting on his seat indistently, eating the wine and food in front of him, and painting his gaze, he was constantly drifting towards Fang Jian.

Someone who can make a squire of the Ministry of Works work for him, then he must be in the Zilan Hall now, but who it is, Zhang Hua still hasn't found out at all.

During Zhang Hua's observation, Fang Jian was just chatting with the ministers around him over wine, and he didn't leave once, sitting honestly in his seat, as if he really came to eat white food.

At this time, he sat in the civil official group and got Mowen. A little eunuch came beside him, and after the little eunuch whispered a few words in his ear, he got up and followed the little eunuch away.

And the person who summoned Mowen didn't need to ask, everyone also knew in their hearts that only His Majesty had this ability, and they didn't take this matter to heart.

The civil officials continued to discuss elegance, and Wu continued to boast about the past, although they were two camps, but there was no conflict or contradiction just because they were together.

But at this time, Zhang Hua found that something was wrong, and since Mo Wen left, many obscure eyes looked at him from all directions. As if Mowen's departure was a signal.

After Zhang Hua noticed it, he became vigilant in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked like he had nothing to do, but at this moment, in the civil official group, a person sat up, and he seemed to be drunk, staggering towards the military general.

Suddenly, the Zilan Hall was terrifyingly quiet, and it was clear that the people who were chatting happily seemed to have eaten Xuanmai, and the civil and military officials who couldn't stop at all. Now they all looked at the officials who stood up.

The official seemed to be really drunk, obviously a few steps away, but he stubbornly postponed more than doubled, with the smell of alcohol, the official came to Zhang Ying, seemingly casual but asked a question that was not random at all

"Lord Xiao Zhang, this official has something I don't understand, and I hope you can answer it."

Because Zhang Hua is the youngest, he also added a small character to the title.

Zhang Hua didn't mind this title at all, and slowly sat up and asked, "What do you don't understand?" ”

"Before, the Supervision Yuan suddenly attacked the Six Ministries and arrested many officials, and then the Supervision Yuan did not give a clear explanation, and now that Dean Mo is not here, I hope that Lord Xiao Zhang can answer."

After seeing such a problem, Zhang Hua felt that among the civil officials opposite, his eyes became more and more flattering, and at the same time, the confused eyes of many drunk people became brighter and brighter.

Even at this moment, Zhang Hua felt that somewhere, a very strong hostility suddenly appeared, and after Zhang Hua noticed it, he quickly turned his head, but found nothing.

After coming back to his senses, looking at his flushed face, but a hint of fear appeared in the deepest part of his blank eyes, Zhang Hua showed a warm smile......
