The imperial examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites began at six o'clock in the morning and ended at six o'clock in the evening, but Tang Cheng didn't take that long, and not long after noon, he came out of the imperial city with a box containing the four treasures of the study and some vegetables, rice and drinking water.

Today is a big day for Tang Cheng to participate in the imperial examination, these days he followed Su Can to come to Ford to serve him for the exam, saying that it was to serve, but in fact, it was to wait outside after sending people into the Suzaku Gate, and without the entry and exit slips issued by the Ministry of Etiquette, he could not enter the imperial city at all.

The sun in early spring and February was not very energetic, and it didn't take long after noon to show a bit of sunset, the sky was dry and cold, and Laifu, who was bored and turning around outside the Suzaku Gate, saw Tang Cheng come out of it and ran over.

After running closer, Laifu hurriedly took the box in Tang Cheng's hand, and carefully looked at the face of the big official.

After the box left his hand, Tang Chengcheng stretched his arms and expanded his chest in front of the Suzaku Gate for a while, today's examination committee is really aggrieved, who would have thought that in the Tang Dynasty, the examination room of the world's most important Luncai ceremony was actually under the outline, simply put, it was held under the eaves of the wind on three sides, and the February weather and the wind through the hall were blowing, what was that like? When Tang Cheng was in the examination room, he heard the sound of thinly dressed Han Shi not far away from him, and his teeth were shaking while taking the exam.

When the weather is cold, it is good to eat two hot cups of tea to warm up the body, but although there is hot water provided by the Ministry of Rites, no one dares to drink it, and as soon as the body moves, the examiner will stamp a red mark on the paper, which means that there is a suspicion of cheating. With this mark, even if the roll is made, no matter how flowery it is, it will be immediately lowered. That's why. Tang Cheng, like other candidates, ate cold meals under the cold eaves at noon.

To say that these two points are nothing, the most uncomfortable thing is that the book is specially used for candidates to answer questions, this book is contracted by the Ministry of Rites and officials to private individuals, cut corners under the narrow **, the gap between them can not even put down the legs, just this is not afraid to sit again, at the beginning of the exam, there was such a first time to Chang'an to take the exam Xianggongsheng hands and feet are a little heavier. As a result, the book table in front of him was broken, and this unlucky ghost was blasted out and disqualified from the exam.

The weather is cold, the wind is cold, the food is cold, and the legs and feet can't stretch out for a few hours, no matter who you are, don't want to have a good face.

Seeing Tang Cheng's face depressed. Laifu chuckled in his heart, "It's bad, the big official didn't do well in the exam this time."

"The heart of the Ministry of Rites is dark, and it is enough to come to this place once", after moving his body. Tang Cheng looked at the people who were waiting for the scholars on the left and right, and waved his hand and said: Go.

Returning to the residence, the door that greeted him first glanced at Laifu, who shook his head lightly with a calm face.

Menzi shook his head when he saw Laifu. The already ready smile on his face suddenly retracted. It was already in his throat to compliment the auspicious words, and he swallowed it back.

After that, I walked all the way to the second courtyard. Along the way, every subordinate met the same as the disciple, and first looked at the face of the blessed land. After taking a look, he was much more cautious when he saluted Tang Cheng. And the stove head Du Pozi quietly put away the carp that had been prepared.

The carp jumps over the dragon gate. This was originally for the scientific scholars to win the lot. Now the big officials have not done well in the exam. Wouldn't it be exciting to serve this dish again?

Physically and mentally exhausted, Tang Cheng didn't care about people's performance. When he arrived at the second room, he ordered water to be prepared. After taking a hot bath and eating a good meal, I fell asleep.

Seeing Tang Cheng like this. The subordinates sat down and confirmed the speculation of the big officials who were not good at the exam. At the moment, everyone in the small Difu is light on their actions. Even the volume of speech was pinched three times. So when Laifu saw the guards of the Wei Mansion rushing in in a hurry, he insisted on seeing the big official who had just fallen asleep. I can't help but say that it is a period of hard persuasion.

The big officials are tired today. In a bad mood again. Can you come back tomorrow?

"Tomorrow?" , The guard shook his head, and seeing that Laifu was still dissuading, he was anxious and simply pulled his neck and shouted inside: "Gongzi, Tang Gongzi, Wang has important matters, please see."

"You're so unruly", Laifu listened to the guard's shout, and immediately reached out to pull him to pull him away.

At this moment, the door creaked open, and Tang Cheng walked out sleepy-eyed, "Wang Jun, are you on duty?" Come in and sit, what are you doing here? ”。

Seeing that Tang Cheng still had a smile on his face when he spoke to Wang Jun, Laifu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "I didn't do anything."

"Let's serve tea", after waving his hand and commanding, Tang Cheng let Wang Jun into the house.

After Wang Jun entered the house, he closed the door casually, Tang Cheng stopped when he saw that he was acting so violently, "What's wrong?" ”。

"Childe, it's not good", Wang Jundi's voice was low and soft, and the expression on his face was mixed with panic.

"Don't worry, the sky won't fall", although Tang Cheng also chuckled in his heart when he saw Wang Jun like this, his face still remained calm and let Wang Jun sit down, "Don't worry! Slowly explain what happened? ”。

"Today, the third master and the seventh master arrived at the house, and what they said was to ask the general to find a wrong place to kill the prince and the guards who supervised the enforcement of military discipline."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng's body shook suddenly, he couldn't help but speak, and Wang Jun, who was quietly listening to the words very quickly, said the whole thing.

After Wei Bo came back from the Yulin Army today, Wei Rui and his third uncle arrived on their heels, and then the three of them discussed secretly in the study.

Now Wang Yi, the little servant who is responsible for serving tea in Wei Bo's study, is an uncle and cousin from the same branch as Wang Jun, which is nothing at all, after all, all the family members surnamed Wang in the Fuyuan General's Mansion are from the wife's own family, and everyone is a relative. But there is a difference in that Wang Yi's father died when he was young, and the orphans and widows lived very poorly, all relying on Wang Jun's father's help for many years to get by. But the relationship between the two places is an exception. Although Wang Yi and Wang Jun do not have the status of brothers, they are real.

When Wang Yi was delivering tea today, she happened to hear Tang Cheng and those guards talking about Tang Cheng inside, and the atmosphere in the study was still very solemn.

Wang Yicai didn't care about Tang Cheng or not, but because the matter involved Wang Jun, and it seemed that the situation was a little bad, Wang Yi, who overheard one ear, came out of the study and saw that there was no one in front of him, so he had the courage to tiptoe outside the door to eavesdrop, and it was terrible to hear it. What the third master and the seventh master said turned out to be that the general found a mistake and killed Tang Cheng and the guards who followed him.

After hearing the news, Wang Yi, who was frightened, immediately held her breath and retreated, and rushed out to find Wang Jun without caring about her errands, and asked him to quickly ask her sister-in-law to find a way to intercede with his wife.

Wang Jun was also confused by this news. After staying for a while, he reacted and asked what was going on, and he was immediately stunned under this question, and then he hurried to Tang Cheng in a hurry.

Tang Cheng is their leader, and these days, they don't say that they have a good impression. Tang Cheng's courage and ability alone Wang Jun also knew, and he naturally thought of inviting him to get an idea at a critical moment.

Hearing Wang Jun say this in a panic, Tang Cheng was really going to die in a hurry, this person spoke too out of tune, and the matter was finished from beginning to end, and he didn't mention what reason Wei Rui used to persuade Wei Bo to kill people.

"If you want to kill, kill me first", Tang Cheng even smiled. "Don't worry, think about what Wang Yi said to you? First. Did the general agree? Second, let the general kill more than 20 subordinates and cronies at once. If this Wei Rui is not crazy, then there must be a reasonable reason."

Tang Cheng's smile calmed Wang Jun's somewhat anxious mood. Slammed his head, "I'm really confused." I don't know if the general promised or not. Wang Yi didn't dare to stay long, and ran to tell me before he finished listening. As for the reason ......".

This matter is really too unbelievable, and the reason of Wei Rui and the third master is the key to it, Wang Jun's voice just paused, Tang Cheng had already asked, "What is the reason?" ”。

"What Wei Rui said is that Gongzi led us to do local affairs, although he temporarily suppressed the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, but this is only on the face, in private, the sergeants are actually very resentful, and the Ten Thousand Cavalry are not as good as other armies, and after decades of habituation, it is not possible to cure the bad problems on their roots with a heavy hand, and there must be a time to rebound. Now the heavier the hand, the more powerful it will be to bounce back. This is the same as Zhou Li, Wang Fangmin's mouth is more than Fangchuan, the general now looks at the fact that although the authority is gradually receiving, he is actually standing on the edge of the cliff", since he got such news, Wang Jun has no respect for Wei Rui, and he opened his mouth to call him by his name like Tang Cheng, and after saying this in one breath, Wang Jun continued to say: "Wei Rui said that now there is a way for the general to benefit from it, but not from it."

"That is, to find a wrong place to kill Gongzi and us in front of the whole army", when Wang Jun's face had just calmed down, he turned red again, "Wei Rui said that this not only benefits the previous rectification of military discipline, but also makes the resentment in the hearts of the ten thousand cavalry sergeants scattered, and can increase the authority of the general, which is a good thing to kill three birds with one stone."

Listening to Wang Jun without saying a word, although Tang Cheng looked calm on his face, in fact, his heart was already turbulent, poisonous wow, Wei Rui and that old and immortal third uncle were really poisonous, and they could come up with such an idea.

Listening to Wei Rui's reason, Tang Cheng unexpectedly thought of a story when he turned over the history books in later generations, it seemed that there was an emperor or something big man who did this, he first promoted a cronie to do dirty things for him, and when that cronie did almost the dirty things that he was inconvenient to do, it was also when the sky was angry and resentful, this emperor or something came forward and quickly and neatly punished this person to Ming Zhengcanon. As a result, he not only gained benefits, but also was praised as a wise man and increased his prestige.

Isn't this story in the future just a copy of what is in front of you? And didn't he become that stupid cronie who didn't know the machine? At first thought of this, Tang Chengcheng felt a chill in his vest, and he pretended to be smart, and these things he did after he came to Beijing and defected to Wei Bo are the most typical self-made cleverness. Lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, and the result of being clever is to push yourself to the edge of the cliff.

Wei Rui... It may be that the old guy's proposal has obvious benefits, and the more Tang Cheng thinks about it, the more chilling he becomes. When you hear this idea, you may be tempted too. Compared with the huge benefits, for Wei Bo's status, what is the death of one subordinate and dozens of subordinates?

At this moment, his heart was cold, Tang Cheng, who felt the threat of death so directly for the first time in his later life, only wanted to slap himself a few ear scrapers, stupid, he was really a fool! Since the road construction in Jinzhou, he has been rigid and carried away, and now he has finally reaped the consequences. Pushed himself to the edge of the cliff with his own hands.

"Childe ......", Wang Jun's call interrupted Tang Cheng's unrepentant contemplation, "What should we do now?" ”。

yes, that's another mistake. It's still a time of year to be distracted by other things! Dizzy, completely dizzy.

"Wang Jun, you have also had a time with the general, according to your understanding of the general, will he agree to Wei Rui and that old immortal suggestion?"

"The general is not a person who doesn't miss the old love, but the bad thing is that Wei Zhen, the old immortal, came. In the Wei clan, except for the queen mother, the general listens to him the most, so ......", Wang Jun shook his head hesitantly, "So I can't say for sure, but one thing is certain, such a big thing." According to the general's temperament, even if he wants to agree, he will not be so fast."

Yes, Wei Bo has a soft temperament. And the ears are soft!

After listening to Wang Jun's words, Tang Cheng stood up from his seat and shook his head vigorously. After rubbing his face with both hands, he paced around the room with his hands in his hands.

I knew he was thinking of a way to deal with it. Wang Jun didn't speak again, and for a while, all that sounded in the entire room was Tang Cheng's slow but heavy footsteps. The dull sound seemed to step on people's hearts, which made Wang Jun, who was already uncertain, even more flustered.

At this time, a quarter of an hour's work made people feel longer than a year, and Wang Jun felt that it had been a long time before he saw Tang Cheng finally stop his dull pacing.

"It's a matter of life and death, our lives have to be earned by ourselves, and we can't blindly wait for the general to decide", thinking about it, Tang Chengcheng didn't hesitate for a moment, turned around and said to Wang Jun in a solemn voice: "You immediately go back and call the other nineteen brothers, and let them do one thing after the situation is clear."

"What's the matter, just give the order", Wang Jun, who stood up, said that he couldn't wait to leave immediately.

"Call your Hun family and other close relatives in the General's Mansion all together, and then let them go to the inner courtyard to find the eldest lady to be the master, you are all relatives of the clan who are close to the lady, and the eldest lady can't ignore the fact that dozens of close clansmen were killed", Tang Cheng's mind turned sharply, and he sneered: "Remember, tell you the Hun family, their men are at the time of death, this trick of crying and making trouble and hanging yourself should be used to the ground, don't hide it."

Hearing this, Wang Jun nodded heavily, "Then what are we going to do?" ”。

"You first pass the news to the other guards, not only to let them know the news, but also to let them understand that we can die today, maybe it will be their turn another day, and you will prepare some ropes to wait for me at the gate of the mansion after this is done", after finishing speaking, Tang Cheng did not wait for Wang Jun to ask again, waved his hand and said: "Hurry up, I'll be there later."

As soon as Wang Jun opened the door, he saw Laifu guarding the door, but he didn't have the heart to say hello and ran straight out.

"You come in", seeing Laifu who walked in, his face was heavy, Tang Cheng turned his mind and sneered: "Okay, Laifu, you have used all the skills you learned from Su Can to me."

Since he followed Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng hadn't spoken to him like this, and Laifu knelt on the ground with weak legs when he was startled, "The little one didn't hold back for a while, and the big officials forgive their sins."

"Only this time, Laifu, you listen to me, if there is such a thing again, not only you, but even Xiao Tao doesn't have to live", Tang Cheng, who was already in a very bad mood, was offended by the taboo, gritted his teeth and said really ruthlessly, "If you still want to live happily with Xiao Tao, you have to engrave this word into my heart."

"The little one knows his mistake, the little one doesn't dare anymore", before he could say anything, Tang Cheng had already interrupted him, "Last time I asked you to pay attention to Wei Rui's bribery of cronies in the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, how did you go?" ”。

On the day that Tang Cheng whipped the one million cavalry sergeants, not long after he arrived at the tent with his front foot, Wei Rui knew that the news had come over, and he was surprised that Wei Rui came quickly, and at the same time, Tang Chengcheng paid attention to let Laifu start handling this matter under the guidance of Su Can.

"Three were found, and the detailed records are in the study of the big officials", this is the first errand that Laifu took over, about Qianyu and others are available, and they don't have to worry about money, ** surging Laifu under the guidance of Su Can will track, inquire, buy and so on one by one, to say that he does have an innate talent in this, although it is only more than 20 days, he still found out three, such results can not be said to be bad.

Tang Cheng didn't expect Laifu's progress to be so fast, and after being slightly stunned, he nodded and said, "Good job!" Tomorrow I will go to the public account to receive a reward of fifty yuan," and after saying that, he went out to the study next door.

Tang Cheng found out the record that he missed and didn't read because he was preparing for the exam a few days ago, and after flipping through it roughly, he sneered and took the record out of the study.

Laifuhou was outside the study, and when he saw Tang Cheng coming out, he followed him out, and after the master and servant went out and got on the horse, they galloped straight to Wei Bofu, which was not far away.

When Tang Cheng arrived, Wang Jun and other twenty people had just gathered in the gate, and twenty people stood neatly in the closed gate, under the boldness of the people, the expressions on their faces were more aggrieved and angry in addition to fear, and there were many guards and Wei Fu's subordinates around these twenty people, so many people gathered together but no one spoke, coupled with the expressions of Wang Jun and others, it made the whole scene look very tragic.

Seeing Tang Cheng walking in from the outside, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, especially the eyes of Wang Jun and the others were even more eager, seeing that they clearly wanted Tang Cheng to say something.

Slowly walking in front of Wang Jun, Tang Cheng asked in a low voice, "How is the situation inside?" ”。

"The guests have all entered, and the news that has just been transmitted back has been heard in the inner house. The general, Wei Rui and the old immortal have never been out of the study, Xu is not aware of this news, Wang Yi has suffered from the family law because of poor service", said this in a low voice, Wang Jun's lips trembled.

I'll tie it up", Wang Jun was stunned, Tang Cheng took a step back and said loudly: "Tie me up."

When Wang Jun was puzzled and hesitated, Tang Cheng took the rope prepared in his hand and put himself on it first, and then turned his head to the guard standing next to him and said, "Please also ask the brothers to help tie us all up."

After hearing the news of Wang Jun, and seeing the strange behavior of these twenty guards, the other guards and subordinates were also wary despite their complicated moods, afraid that they would do something in a hurry, but at this time, they saw that Tang Cheng said such things after tying himself up, and was stunned for a moment, "Tang Gongzi, you are ......."

It is very inconvenient to surf the Internet, and sometimes it is delayed to ask for leave when you encounter an emergency. It's really sorry that I didn't update it yesterday.,The chapter owed yesterday will be made up within two days after tomorrow.。 I'm sorry!
