Chapter 166: Chaos in the court
Pei Feng suddenly had an accident, which made Zhang Hua feel a little hazy in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Originally, he expected that the development of things would be smooth, as if peeling off the cocoon, and finally the truth would be revealed. Everything that is hidden will be unearthed.
But when painting him, he still underestimated the viciousness of people's hearts.
Wei Wei found that it was possible for Pei Feng to summon everything, and immediately took action, regardless of the truth. Except for the group of people standing at the top of the pyramid, the rest of the human life is ants.
Like a mustard, there is no mercy.
"It seems necessary to speed up the action." Zhang Hua muttered in his heart.
At this time, the sound of slight footsteps also sounded, and when he turned around, he saw Yang Zhongling, who was now dressed in palace clothes, appeared in front of him, Zhang Hua asked curiously: "Your Highness, where are you going?" ”
Yang Zhongling frowned, glanced at Zhang Hua curiously, and said, "Of course, I am preparing to enter the palace, and now the time is almost coming." ”
Zhang Hua was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sky outside, only to find that it was now sunset, and it was about to reach the end of the day.
"I passed by here before, and I didn't bother when I saw you pondering, did anything bad happen?" Yang Zhongling asked.
"No, it's just a little trivial, Your Highness wait a moment, I'll change my clothes, and I'll come out."
After seeing Yang Zhongling nodding, Zhang Hua hurriedly left and went to his room in the supervision courtyard to change into a dark black robe.
"The news hasn't been revealed, has it?"
After changing his clothes, Zhang Hua walked towards the front hall and asked Qin Kang, who was accompanying him
"No, except for a few members of the three departments who were present just now, everyone else didn't know about Pei Feng's accident at all." Qin Kang said.
"Has Pei Feng's corpse been disposed of?"
"It's been taken care of."
Zhang Hua nodded and then didn't ask questions, picked up Yang Zhongling, who was waiting now, and the two got into the carriage and rushed to the palace.
The palace test started at the time, although it was the time of the year, but it was necessary to prepare in advance, and it was necessary to wait an hour in advance, and Zhang Hua had already arrived outside the palace.
Inside and outside the palace, carriages are not allowed to enter and exit, which is also a hard rule, except for the emperor, not even princesses and princes.
After getting out of the carriage, Zhang Hua saw that many officials were also waiting outside the Zhengyang Gate, and they saw that Zhang Hua, who was wearing a black and black robe, appeared enough, and they instinctively took a few steps back.
But unfortunately, Zhang Hua had Yang Zhongling next to him, and they also went up to salute, but even so, they did not have a verbal conversation with Zhang Hua.
"It seems... They don't treat me very well. Recalling that the official left and cast a disdainful look at him, Zhang Hua said self-deprecatingly.
"The way they are now is to transfer the misunderstanding of the Supervision Yuan to you.
As the saying goes, when you see people's hearts over time, when you understand that what the supervision institutions do is for the benefit of the country and the people, they will surely face you in a different way. ”
Yang Zhongling explained that after Zhang Hua heard this, he just nodded without making a defense.
"Now I want to enter the palace to meet my father, and I will meet in the Qianqiu Palace in a while."
"Your Highness, go slowly."
Speaking of Yang Zhongling, with the palace maid behind him, he also entered the palace through Xiangzhengyang Gate, and Zhang Hua, who was left alone, looked at the disdainful glances of the officials around him, and he also felt funny.
Originally, the conversation was enjoyable, but suddenly one looked at him, and the other people immediately did the same, sneering at him together.
After sneering, they then showed each other exactly the way they should have been.
I have to say that people with the same smell will get together, and Zhang Hua really realized the meaning of this sentence at this time, but Zhang Hua didn't care about this, because at this time, Tang Peng, who had the same "smell" as himself, also came here.
"With a proud face, it seems that today's development is good." Looking at Tang Peng's face full of peach blossoms, after writing the word "idiot" on his face, Zhang Hua didn't have to guess to know what was going on.
"That's natural, Lord Ben is out of the horse, what will be difficult for me?" Tang Peng clasped his hands to his chest and said as a matter of course.
Zhang Hua sneered, then took a serious look at Tang Peng, and said, "The sweat on his forehead is obviously something wrong."
But what makes you smile so much is now Miss Liu.
You know that she loves painting, so you give her some of the famous paintings you have collected.
But with a panicked face, and did not come with Bao Guogong, it is obvious that the famous painting you gave to Miss Liu is from the palace, and you have not yet obtained the consent of Bao Guogong.
Yes, I learned to cheat so early, it seems that Lord Tang will have a "hegemony" in the future! ”
"How do you know?"
Tang Peng, who was originally holding his hands on his chest, heard what Zhang Hua said all the time, his eyes widened, and his jaw was about to fall!
"God, it's really God, how did your head grow?"
Tang Peng said and stretched out his hand to touch the top of Zhang Hua's head, Zhang Hua knocked out Tang Peng's outstretched right hand with one hand, and said a little dissatisfied: "What is this, after telling you another thing, you will definitely be more surprised." ”
"What's the matter? Tell me about it? ”
"Pei Feng is dead."
Zhang Hua said softly, and after Tang Peng heard this, although the smile was on his face, it slowly became a little hideous: "Who did it?" ”
Tang Peng asked coldly, Zhang Hua pointed to himself silently, and said, "I did it." ”
"Huh?" Tang Peng was surprised, and after staring at it for a long time, he grinned: "Although your head is good, your level of telling jokes is too poor." ”
Tang Peng waved his hand and said, Zhang Hua shook his head, and his tone became low at this moment: "Last night, someone sneaked into the supervision institute to poison Pei Feng, and by the time Qin Kang and the others found out, the poison had already entered the internal organs.
The doctor in the hospital diagnosed and said that Pei Feng had no surgery, and he couldn't speak or lift his hands, so I gave him a good time. ”
The smile on Tang Peng's face began to converge, and he could see that Zhang Hua had no intention of joking with himself at this moment, and looked at Zhang Hua seriously.
After seeing Zhang Hua looking at himself calmly, Tang Peng asked coldly at this moment: "Someone sneaked into the supervision institute, and then poisoned and left, but no one found out?" ”
"Well, nothing other than a few messy footprints under the courtyard walls." Zhang Hua said.
"Does the Dean know about this?"
"I'm in a hurry if I don't come, but when I arrive, I'll tell the dean about it."
Tang Peng was silent, but he could feel that a murderous aura was constantly emanating from him.
Like a sudden thunderstorm on a sunny day, it grabbed everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.
When the other officials in Zhengyangmen noticed it, they were even more worried.
Although they didn't know what was going on, when they saw the two inspectors of the Supervision Yuan, looking gloomy together, they were also worried that they were innocently implicated, so they hurriedly left a few steps, and then whispered,
"With such a big fire, aren't you afraid of getting on fire?"
Mo Wen, who came at this moment, saw that the faces of the two were a little wrong, but because all the officials had already appeared, it was inconvenient to ask now, so he said.
Tang Peng struggled to control his anger, his chest continued to rise and fall, and after a long exhale, he said to Mo Wen: "Dean, presumably after you know this, you will be even more angry than us. ”
"Oh, what's going on." Mo Wen asked calmly, but the faint worry in his eyes betrayed his true heart at this moment.
"Nothing serious." Zhang Hua said slowly, Zhengse looked at Mo Wen, and he continued: "It's just that someone came to our supervision institute last night and slapped us. ”
Mo Wen was stunned for a moment, and after pausing for a moment to understand the true intention in Zhang Hua's words, he asked again, "Do you know who it is?" ”
"I don't know." Zhang Hua shook his head, but his eyes looked at the hundred officials of Zhengyangmen one by one, as well as the one or two princes who appeared, and he said in an affirmative tone: "Although I don't know, but that person is here now!" You can't go wrong with that! ”
……
……
"Your Majesty has a will, and hundreds of officials will enter the palace"
At this time, a eunuch appeared in Zhengyangmen, and he shouted in a sharp voice, and after hearing his words, the princes and princesses who had all the officials who had been present also walked towards the direction of Qianqiu Hall through Zhengyangmen one by one.
At the end of the crowd, Tang Peng and Zhang Hua deliberately distanced themselves from the people in front, and now they are still talking about Pei Feng.
"Pei Feng's incident, the second thing is that someone wants to warn us not to go too deep."
After thinking about the meaning inside, Tang Peng opened his mouth at this time, Zhang Hua nodded in agreement, but continued with a helpless smile: "What about warnings? That's what we're doing, and we're really going to stop because of it? ”
After a pause, Zhang Hua continued: "But this incident also gives us a warning, it is best not to be frugal in a short period of time, and even if you want to do it, you must do it under the condition of ensuring that nothing goes wrong." ”
"That's right, but a foolproof situation can never happen, and it seems that we have to be prepared recently." Tang Peng muttered.
……
……
Outside the Qianqiu Palace, the hundred officials and the princess are also waiting outside, although the palace test is also a national event, but its special nature, so it also makes the solemn taste less.
After all, the "struggle" between literati and debate is also a matter of elegance, and they will not move their hands and feet, let alone scold their mothers, even if they are blushing in the fight, the last glass of turbid wine can also resolve all the festivals.
After waiting for a long time, with the eunuch entering the palace with a hundred officials, this year's ups and downs of the imperial examination are finally coming to an end.
In the Qianqiu Palace, everyone entered one by one, without a little hurry and hurry, familiar with finding their own position, they were also waiting for Yang Yanfan's arrival.
But for Zhang Hua and Tang Peng, who entered the palace for the first time, nervousness and crampedness were secondary. One of the most important questions today. That's where the two of you should stand?
Left text, right martial arts, this is the constant pattern of the court, civil officials and military generals, two different factions together support the sky of Nanqing.
But the Supervision Yuan belongs to that side, and Zhang Hua and Tang Peng don't know at all.
The Supervision Yuan belongs to the direct deployment of His Majesty, and does not belong to either side of the civil and military, but it can't always stand in the center, right?
When all the ministers stood up and left Zhang Hua and Tang Peng alone, the two of them could be said to be truly standing out from the crowd, not only that, but when everyone's eyes were on Zhang Hua and Tang Peng, the two of them were also panicked.
Mo Wen is also standing in the civil official group because of the Taishi in the past, but he did not let Zhang Hua and Tang Peng come over, on the contrary, he seemed to be blind and couldn't see the two of them at all.
"Left or right?" At this moment, Tang Peng asked Zhang Hua in a low voice, and Zhang Hua didn't know what to do at the moment.
Although the small standing line now does not represent anything, this can also indirectly reflect the direction of the Supervision Yuan's current or next inclination.
But the civil-military faction. It's like two forces, you can't offend one of them at all, the wind and rain are swaying, and the two of them finally realized this word.
"Humph!"
At this moment, there was a muffled snort on the right, and Tang Ning, the Duke of Baoguo, stood up at this time, and said dissatisfiedly to Tang Peng, who was standing in the center: "What are you doing there?" Why don't you come and greet your uncle and uncle? ”
Tang Peng was overjoyed, after seeing his father come out to relieve the siege, he immediately went over, and when he left, he left Zhang Hua alone.
"And the Zhang family boy too, but what are you waiting for? Do you really think that those sour literati will take the initiative to invite you over? ”
Tang Ning spoke again, and his words not only relieved Zhang Hua, but also mocked the civil officials once, which shows the degree of his belly black.
"Donald Horseman, what do you mean by that? Do you really think that I have no civil servants? One of the civil servants, a white-haired minister, shouted.
Tang Ning only snorted coldly with disdain on his face, but the mocking expression on his face told him that in his eyes, you were just a piece of.
Although this sentence was not spoken, the contempt on Tang Ning's face also appeared in everyone's hearts after being seen by everyone.
The old minister was immediately angry and was about to go up and make a move with him, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by the people beside him and persuaded him with kind words.
"Death, they are military generals, you do it with him, isn't this really looking for death?"
Although I don't know what I said, that's roughly what it means, and after the old minister's anger subsided, he also knew how impulsive he was just now.
But you can't lose face, if you don't respond, then how can you continue to mix?
Flicked his sleeves hard, his face was not in line with the general knowledge, and at the same time, he snorted coldly in his mouth.
But as soon as the old minister returned to his position, Shen Qiu, the famous hob meat in the Nanqing court, immediately responded.
looked at the old minister with disdain, he also opened his big mouth towards his feet, and made a very standard insulting action: "Phew! ”
However, Qianqiu Hall is not his own home after all, and Shen Qiu can't really spit.
After this sound occurred in his mouth, Shen Qiu clasped his hands to his chest and looked at the old minister with a provocative expression, the old minister's beard was cocked, his fingers trembled and pointed at Shen Qiu, and he said tremblingly: "You! You! You! ”
"What's wrong with the old man?" Shen Qiu squinted at the old minister, and the old minister bit his lip, and continued to tremble at this moment and said, "I! I! Me and you..."
"You! You, you, me, me, me, what do you want to say quickly, stammering, reading stupidly? ”
Thump!
The old minister fainted on the spot, and after quickly greeting him and carrying him away, most of the civil officials were also ready to bite Shen Qiu at this moment.
And Shen Qiu was not moved at all, recruited them, and put on a look of "I'm afraid that I will lose" and looked at the civil officials,
Zhang Hua was shocked.
The civil and military disagreement is something that I have known in my heart for a long time, but Zhang Hua didn't expect that it would be so serious.
Looking at Shen Qiuxiao's anxious mood, Zhang Hua guessed that if he really started to do it, I am afraid that Shen Qiu would really serve the civil officials in one pot.
What a feud!
Is there any grievance that you can't sit down and say calmly? It's a handful of old people, how can they still be the same as children? You have the ability to really fight!
If you don't applaud the fight, count me as losing!
And just when the saber rattling and Zhang Hua were weirdly looking forward to it, Yang Yanfan finally appeared on the stage.
"Your Majesty has arrived"
"Your Majesty."
"Congratulations, please get up, don't be polite."
Yang Yanfan said with a smile, after sitting on the dragon chair and seeing all the princes and princesses counted, he just wanted to speak, but at a casual glance, he felt that something was missing
"Where's Scholar Jiao?" Yang Yanfan opened his mouth to ask, and after the civil official heard what he said, he immediately came out and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, Scholar Jiao was stunned on the spot by Xu Guogong Shen Qiu, and now he has been sent for diagnosis and treatment. ”
"Huh?" Yang Yanfan was taken aback, and looked towards Shen Qiu in disbelief, and then he was furious when he saw the embarrassed smile on Shen Qiu's face.
But halfway through the cooking, the dishes stopped.
There's no way, there are too many bastards doing bastards, and if you really start talking about it, then you can't finish it for three days and three nights.
"How could such a strange flower appear in my court?"
Yang Yanfan kept questioning himself, is it bad for the year, if it is true, then he is too much to carry it, right? How many years has this been?
But helplessly, now is not the time to ask for guilt. After scolding Shen Qiu a few times, he can also give up.
Zhang Hua saw that there was nothing else to come out at this time, for the generals, His Majesty is not just an ordinary trust, let Shen Qiu say, stunned a scholar, although the situation is urgent, can not deal with this matter slowly.
But only letting Shen Qiu accompany some medicinal supplements, and verbally giving a warning that is not an example, this is also enough to see the position of this group of generals in his heart.
No wonder the Supervision Yuan, one of the positions of the Supervision Envoy will be Tang Peng, the son of the military general, this is not just a show to show them at all, this holy family is also undoubtedly revealed in it, which is enviable.
And just when Zhang Hua was thinking about this, the top ten in this year's imperial examination list, they lined up in two teams, and five people from each team slowly entered the Qianqiu Palace.
