Yi'an sighed, put the small note into his arms, and said! "The banner of the Ming Jingke is not good to do tricks, the test is to fill in the blanks, it is good to fill in, what to do if you can't fill in, is it possible that they can't fill in the blanks, I also want to say good?"

Wei Chigong laughed twice and said: "The old man has already told these two people, let them leave the questions they don't know empty, don't fill them indiscriminately, there are no words in the blanks, you can do tricks, you can help them fill in the blanks when marking the papers!" ”

Wang Ping'an grinned and said, "Is this okay?" That's too much! ”

Wei Chi snorted and said, "This is a fart that is excessive!" The kind where nothing is written on the whole paper, and even the kind where you fill in the name for them is excessive. The old man just asked you to help fill in a few blanks, which is also called excessive? Outrageous! ”

Wang Ping'an said: "I'm not alone in grading papers. Then explain that the papers of the economic department, there should be a special person to approve, I am just the last review, in case it is dropped in advance, then how can I help them fill it in? ”

"You mind; How can people be so pedantic, it's really rotten wood! Wei Chi Gong said eloquently: "Won't you go to the test papers in advance, just help them fill them in, who can supervise you?" Zhu Suiliang is there, the old man will go to say hello, you don't care, just fill in the blanks. ”

Wang Ping'an was almost fainted with anger, this Wei Chigong asked him to take care of the candidates, he was even more righteous than Li Ke, Li Ke just asked him to take care of it when he marked the papers, and Wei Chigong simply asked him to help answer the papers!

Wang Ping'an said angrily: "Then you tell the adults, as long as he agrees, I have no problem here, if he doesn't agree, I won't agree." ”

Seeing that he was angry, Wei Chigong hurriedly showed a smile and said, "No sick boy, don't be annoyed." I heard that you are not short of a house, and you are sending someone to find you a place to buy a mansion recently, right? ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Yes, I can't find a place to buy a house, my parents are about to enter Beijing, but the piece of land you gave me before fell into my hands and can't build a new one. ”

"What a good boy who knows how to be filial." Wei Chi praised him, and said: "That piece of land, you keep it, when it is convenient, it is not too late to build the Duke's Mansion." But if you want a house, it's not difficult, didn't the old man give you two names, they are willing to pay for the house and give it to you! ”

Wang Ping'an glared at him and said: "This official is honest and honest, and he will never accept this bribe, and tell those two guys that they don't want to be successful." ”

Wei Chigong also widened his eyes and shouted, "Is that really the case? You don't know how to lift up like this, you kid owes a beating, right? ”

Wang Ping'an looked left and right, thinking: "Did he drink too much, not only made such excessive demands, but also dared to make a loud noise with me!" ”

He took off his hat, pointed to his head, and said, "Don't show mercy!" ”

Wei Chigong flicked his sleeves and said, "I don't know what to lift, the old man ignores you!" With that, he turned around and walked away.

Wang Ping'an put his hat back on and thought, "Really drank too much?" But he didn't smell the wine, he was abnormal enough today! ”

Wei Chigong walked a few steps, turned back again, and shouted, "You really don't agree?" You bastard, if you don't agree, the old man will break off your friendship with you from now on! ”

Wang Ping'an put the hat on the net, took it off again, and said, "Why bother? Why don't you beat me up and get rid of my anger? But let's not talk about the matter of those two people! ”

Wei Chigong snorted: "It's really a stone in a pit, it's stinky and hard!" The old man beat you, and you still don't fight back? ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Return, of course I want to pay it back, I just asked you to beat me, I didn't say that you beat me, I won't fight back!" ”

Wei Chi smiled respectfully and said, "That old man still beats you up, in public, who wants to fight with you!" Okay, you wait, the old man will talk to the emperor, saying that you are not knowledgeable enough and are not worthy of being the deputy chief examiner, anyway, who will be the deputy chief examiner in the end, it has not been implemented yet, the old man has made a mess for you! ”

Wang Ping'an also smiled and said, "Then I thank you, you go quickly, hurry up, run, degree!" ”

Wei Chigong scolded, and then turned around and left. Seeing this, Tang Xuanwan walked over and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you two?" Why did you turn your face in public? Wang Ping'an put his hat back on and said, "Turn your face? Nope! General Wei Chi is just like this, what are you talking about, in fact, he is a good person, and he will not turn his face with me because of a little thing! ”

"Then you two just now," Tang Xuan said incomprehensibly.

Wang Ping'an said: "He drank too much and was crazy about drinking, so ignore him." ”

Tang Xuanwan didn't ask any more, and went to see the officials decorating the lanterns. Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's strange, Wei Chigong is not that kind of person, why is it so abnormal today?" It's a bit like making a show for others to see. He couldn't figure out why, so he stopped thinking about it.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and Wang Ping'an and Tang Xuanban entered the palace together and went to Chengtianmen. At this time, the ministers were almost all there, just waiting for the arrival of Emperor Li Shimin.

The little eunuch led Wang Ping'an and guided him to take a seat, and Tang Xuanyu sat next to him.

The officials greeted each other, and there was a harmonious atmosphere in the tower. When Li Ji saw Wang Ping'an coming, he walked over and asked, "I heard that you and Wei Chi Lao'er had a conflict, and you want to beat each other below, but is there such a thing?" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "The lower officials can't beat him, and they can't talk about beating each other, they can only beat me!" ”

Li Ji laughed, turned around and shook his head and left.

After a while, Li Ke came over, sat down in front of Wang Ping'an, and asked, "Just now Wei Chigong went upstairs and said loudly that you're not right, that you are not highly educated. belongs to the generation of indiscriminate taro, and said that everyone should work together to make a statement to the emperor and dismiss you from the position of deputy chief examiner, do you know about this? ”

Wang Ping'an was silent for a long time, wondering in his heart, how could this be, Wei Chigong is bold, he belongs to a chaotic person on the surface, but extremely shrewd in nature, how could he do such a thing, is it possible, knock the medicine? Impossible!

Li Ke saw that he didn't squeak, and said: "Just now, this king saw him and Uncle Guo muttering, I don't know what he was talking about, this king guessed that it should be Uncle Guo who is going to be difficult for you, and he himself is not good at making a move, so let Yu Chigong, a stupid and coarse guy, make it difficult for you to make a move!" ”

Wang Ping'an was speechless for a long time and said, "Then, what should I do?" Why don't you go down and return to your hometown? ”

Tang Xuanban listened to it very well, he couldn't bear it, he turned his head and glanced at him, how old are you, just say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown?

Li Ke waved his hand and said very righteously: "It's funny to be sick, even if you offend the eldest grandson Wuji, what can you do?" As long as this king is here, all things will be safe for you, just as your name is peace, and all things will be safe! ”

"Then thank you to the prince for his peace one by one, and hurriedly bowed the New Year, expressing his gratitude, but he was very disappreciative in his heart, and Jia Yier smiled. How could the eldest grandson Wuji be embarrassed by my child, and he still wanted to go to the hot spring with me!

Li Ke comforted him a few more words, got up to leave, and returned to his seat.

Tang Xuanban saw him leaving, approached Wang Ping'an, and said, "Senior brother, who was that benefactor just now?" Looking at his clothes, he is a prince, and looking at his age, could it be King Wu? ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Yes, it's him." How. What did the senior brother say? ”

Tang Xuanban thought for a moment. I don't feel like I should have spoken badly. But I can't help but remind my junior brother. He said: "You have to pay attention to him, he seems to be in terms of character, alas, everyone in the world suffers, but some of the suffering is really what suffering. Senior brother, you are in the officialdom, and the intrigue is too tiring, it is better to become a monk and let the senior brother shave you.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Stop, don't say anything." Senior brother, you don't understand, junior brother, I am practicing in the earthly world, and the principle is the same as when you practice in front of the Buddha. Shaving is just a formality, and you don't have to go through this formality. ”

Tang Xuanzhi shook his head and said, "Obsessed, obsessed!" ”

While he was talking, he saw Shi Zhongchen walk out and shouted: "The emperor has arrived, and the ministers will take over!" ”

The ministers hurriedly got up, knelt down again, and shouted long live. In the city tower, there is only one person standing, that is, the great monk Tang Xuan, he is a monk, only kneeling to the Buddha, not mortals.

Li Shimin slowly took on his light robe, walked out from behind, raised his hand to support him, and said, "Zhu Aiqing is flat." He sat down behind the dragon case in the middle and said, "Palm lamp!" ”

Shi Zhongchen shouted in a long voice: "The emperor has a decree, hold the lamp!" ”

The little eunuchs upstairs echoed in unison, climbed the ladder, and lit the lanterns on the city tower. As soon as the lights on the castle tower were lit, the lights in the square below were also lit one by one, and the folk lanterns in the distance were also lit up. In a short time, Chang'an City was brilliant and colorful.

The Shangyuan Festival banquet begins.

There is a noisy city of gongs and drums near Chengtianmen, all kinds of performances are staged, thousands of people flock here, and the square side makes an exception to allow people to do small business, selling all kinds of food and gadgets, it is very lively!

Wang Ping'an looked down and thought: "It's a pity that there are no ceremonial flowers this year, otherwise it would be great to put a few ceremonial flowers to the sky at this time." ”

Tang Xuanwan beside him was called to the front by Shi Zhongchen to talk to Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin also believed in God and Buddha when he was young, he didn't attach much importance to it, but when he got older, he became more and more interested in getting the blessing of the Buddha.

Wang Ping'an looked at Wei Chigong in the crowd, and saw that he was sitting next to Changsun Wuji, talking to Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji nodded and smiled. Coincidentally, after Wei Chigong finished speaking, his eyes happened to look at Wang Ping'an, and when he saw that Wang Ping'an was also looking at him, he immediately opened his mouth widely, bared his teeth at Wang Ping'an, and made an extremely ugly grimace!

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's a drug, for sure!" He didn't show weakness, and immediately made a vomit expression, indicating that your grimace is too disgusting!

He and Yu Chigong have known each other for so long, so he doesn't believe that Yu Chigong will suddenly go crazy, if it is difficult for him, there must be a reason, but I don't know this reason now!

Eat and drink for a while, singing and dancing, singing and dancing, while the ministers toast each other, sycophants fly, and a song and dance on the Chengtian Gate are leveled!

Banquets, although the names are different, but the process is almost the same, that is, eating and drinking, everyone you pour me, I pour you, there are no new tricks. The banquet went on for nearly an hour, and it was almost over, Li Shimin was tired, as soon as he left the table, the banquet would be over, and the ministers would leave the palace and go to the people to have fun, as was the case in previous years, and there was no reason to be an exception this year.

Tang Xuanmo came back from Li Shimin and sat down in front of Wang Ping'an, he said: "The emperor has studied Buddhism very much, and he has talked a lot to the poor monks, and he also said that he will send a Chinese scholar to preside over the construction of Tongtian Futu, I really didn't expect that the emperor would attach so much importance to this matter!" ”

Wang Ping'an heheed twice and said: "It's a Zhongshu squire named Xu Jingzong, he is the prime minister's deputy, and the emperor sent him to preside over the repair of the tower, which can be seen."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Shimin say above: "Where is Wang Ping'an?" ”

Wang Ping'an was trembling, why did he suddenly call me? He hurriedly got up and said, "Weichen is here!" ”

Li Shimin said: "I heard that someone privately let you cheat, do tricks in the scientific examination, and select some people with inferior talents, but is there such a thing?" ”

Wang Ping'an's eyes brushed the ground and looked at Wei Chigong, thinking: "No, he really sued me for a trick, is there a mistake!" ”

The ministers suddenly fell silent and looked at Wang Ping'an together. Li Ke was in a hurry, he was afraid that Wang Ping'an would talk nonsense, it didn't matter what he did in private, but if he put his face on the surface and was asked by the emperor on the spot, then who could stand it, he just gave Wang Ping'an a list during the day, but don't be shaken out at night! Wang Ping'an lowered his head and said: "There is no such thing, no one asks Weichen for personal fraud", that, no one wants Weichen to inquire about personal fraud! ”

Li Shimin said: "Really not? Yes is yes, no is no, don't hide it for anyone. ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Jiang who returned to the emperor, no, indeed not!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "How could it not be, just now I asked Wei Chi Aiqing to go and test you." It's only been a little more work, and you forgot? ”

Wang Ping'an sighed, taken aback, no wonder Wei Chigong was very abnormal, it turned out that the emperor had made him do this!

Wei Chigong stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has already tried Wang Ping'an." He would rather break off his friendship with the minister, and would rather fight with the minister, rather than agree to inquire about personal fraud, the minister can testify that Wang Ping'an has a good character, and he will serve as the deputy examiner. Everyone is convinced! ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Really? But everyone is convinced? ”

The ministers looked at Wang Ping'an again, it turned out that the emperor sent Wei Chigong to test Wang Ping'an, and Wang Ping'an actually passed the temptation, which is really "I have to praise him!"

"Wang Ping'an has a good character, he will be the deputy examiner, and the ministers will be convinced!" The ministers praised together.

Li Ke's face was pale, just now he went to say bad things about the eldest grandson Wuji to Wang Ping'an about this matter, but it had nothing to do with the eldest grandson Wuji, his chest was patted white, and he sowed discord in vain, which was really a miscalculation to the extreme!

Wang Ping'an blinked his eyes and thought, "Why are you tempting me?" Is it possible to use me as an excuse again? Why don't you have to use me? ”

I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji stood up, and Wang Ping'an expected it well, and he really planned to use him as an excuse!
