Peace thought! "Everyone, it's really enough for a small family. No wonder the eighth son, and he will die in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji in the future, how can this kind of mind become a great weapon. Although Li Zhi is cowardly, he is also a lot stronger than him, at least Li Zhi will never open his mouth to ask for benefits because of this little thing! ”

A smile appeared on his face and said, "Lord Wang, you are very grateful for your kindness to the lower officials, and the lower officials will always remember it in your heart." Otherwise, the lower official invites the prince to drink, what do you think? ”

Wang Ping'an said very clearly, you can help me, even if I don't need your help, but I still thank you, I invite you to drink, just a drink, it must be a thank you nothing, but if you have something in the future, rest assured, I will help you in turn!

Even if Li Ke is not very authentic, once something happens to him, Wang Ping'an will not be able to sit idly by, and will definitely do his best to help him, and even because of saving Li Ke's life, it is possible to turn his face with the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji will clean up Li Ke in the future, Wang Ping'an will save Li Ke, and if Wu Meiniang cleans up the eldest grandson Wuji in the future, Wang Ping'an will also take action to save the eldest grandson Wuji. In the royal family, which is as thin as paper, he can do this, it is already impeccable, and it is interesting enough to reach the top!

A sentence that is always in mind is the best promise!

But Li Ke was still not satisfied, he said aggressively: "Write down this wine for the time being, and it will be regarded as your repayment to the king for speaking for you." However, the rebuke that this king has received, you can't just use a meal of wine to pass it perfunctorily, right? ”

Wang Ping'an laughed a few times, and said helplessly: "Yes, how can one meal of wine repay the kindness of the prince, is it better to have two meals?" Three meals is fine! ”

Li Ke snorted and said: "No disease, you don't have to mess around, drinking this kind of thing, you still have to keep the uncle of the country, but this king is not interested." He looked around on his horse, and when he saw that the guards were following from a distance, he reached into his arms, took out a folded piece of paper, and handed it to Wang Ping'an.

"Look at this" Estimate, how many can you take care of? Li Ke said.

Wang Ping'an took the paper and opened it to see that it was a list, with dozens of names written on it, and there was also family background and place of origin at the back.

Looking at this list, Wang Ping'an felt that none of them he knew, but it was certain that these people were all scholars who were referred to in this department, and they must have been invested in the bank and invested under Li Ke's door.

Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "Could it be that these people are all famous chefs in Beijing, Lord Wang, do you want to try their skills one by one?" I just don't know which restaurant chefs they are? Li Ke waved his hand and said: "Don't pretend to be confused for this king, how can these people be chefs, they are all scholars who have taken the exam in this department, and they have submitted a line paper to this king." Look at it, how many of these people do you know, can you take care of one or two when grading papers? ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "It turns out that they are not chefs, they are all scholars." Then this is not very easy to do, there are too many people, and a few Jinshi can be won in one subject, I'm afraid that there is not so much quota for adding a piece, right? ”

Li Ke said: "Who let you all get it, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you are not all in the Jinshi, there are those who take the Ming Sutra, and there are few people who take the Jinshi, but there are many Ming Jing." You can take care of three of them. ”

"Thirty percent? There must be about twenty of them! Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "It's really difficult to do it, and I can't take care of so many people anyway!" ”

Li Ke thought for a while and said, "What about the two percent?" ”

Wang Ping'an still shook his head and said, "There is no way to take care of so much, and the lower officials can't even take care of ten, at most three!" ”

It's enough to be able to take care of three. There are so many princes and nobles in Chang'an City, and the scholars are flying all over the sky, if everyone comes to ask him to take care of it, how much does Wang Ping'an have to take care of, three or four hundred? In addition, Zhu Suiliang has to take care of, and there is another deputy examiner to take care of, and I am afraid that there will be thousands of people!

There are so many people who have won one subject, and in the next ten or twenty years, there is no need to open a subject to take a bachelor's degree, and one time will be enough?

Li Ke snorted and said, "Three is three." This king pointed out to you, these three people, you must be selected, they are all Jinshike. ”

Wang Ping'an said with a bitter face: "Are they all Jinshi? This is too difficult to do. The subordinate has to wait for the adults to discuss, and it depends on whether he agrees or not. ”

Li Ke snorted and said: "Zhu Suiliang has a very good relationship with Uncle Guo, if you discuss with him, he will not agree, why is the king still writing this list, why should he ask you to do it?" ”

"That's a real hard time for me!" Wang Ping'an put the list in his arms and thought: "In these years, people who go through the back door are harder than me." ”

Seeing that he had received the list, Li Ke smiled and said: "Okay, you have done this for this king, this king will not treat you badly in the future, if it is difficult for your uncle to do it for you, you can find this king, and this king will be your master of everything." ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You better take care of yourself." Just because you are also worthy of singing against the eldest grandson Wuji? Hey, when did the eldest grandson Wuji feel sorry for me? ”

He said: "Lord Wang, what you said, the lower officials don't understand very well. The eldest grandson is not embarrassed! ”

Li Ke snorted twice and said, "Yes, I didn't feel sorry for you?" Well, when it is difficult for you, you will tell this king that it is not too late for this king to make decisions for you! ”

He secretly said in his heart: "Wang Ping'an does not admit that there is a contradiction with the eldest grandson Wuji. However, the words of the mother concubine should not be wrong, how can the news from the palace be false? However, what contradiction does he have with the eldest grandson and Wuji, I should still send someone to investigate it carefully, maybe I can not only catch Wang Ping'an's handle, but also catch the eldest grandson Wuji! ”

The two no longer mentioned the list, nor did they mention the eldest grandson Wuji, diverted the topic, only talked about the lantern festival at night, talked and laughed, and came to the Inspiration Temple.

The Tao in officialdom, to put it bluntly, is a whole person, and other dynasties estimate it, at least the officialdom in the early Tang Dynasty was indeed like this. Li Ke and Wang Ping'an's faces were full of enthusiasm, like their own brothers. But secretly, Li Ke planned to thoroughly investigate why Wang Ping'an ran to Ganye Temple and wanted to catch him.

Wang Ping'an was not idle, thinking in his heart that the list given by Li Ke must not just ask him to win the top three. Jinshi is so simple, there are other ways to say it, you have to find Qiu Renjie to analyze it and see if there is a trap in it.

The two of them had their own hearts and came to the Temple of Inspiration. At this time, the Inspiration Temple, inside and out, was full of good men and women, all of whom came to see Tang Xuan, and Tang Xuandian opened the altar for several days in a row to explain the scriptures to the people.

Looking at the thousands of people, Li Ke said in surprise: "That Xuanban monk is actually like this among the people

"Horn, it's really unexpected! Isn't he just a trip to the sky, just a book in the brain, how can he be so famous? .

Wang Ping'an said: "The moat is 108,000 miles away from here, and it takes more than ten or twenty years to come and go, and it is normal for the people to respect him." ”

Li Ke snorted and said, "Then what should I do, I can't get in at all, this king still wants to say a few words to Monk Xuanji!" ”

"Why don't we go through the back door? , Xiao Wang Ping'an proposed.

Li Ke waved his hand and said: "How can this king be the one who walks through the back door, since there are so many people here, then it doesn't matter if you don't see it now, anyway, you can see it at night when the lantern festival is held, and it's not too late to talk to him about the scriptures at that time." Go in by yourself, go to Chengtianmen early in the evening, and after speaking, he turned his horse's head and walked away.

Wang Ping'an grinned in the back, thinking: "This person is really enough to say, he has arrived at the door, and he will not go in." Is it still the person who went through the back door, so what is the list he just gave himself? Isn't that just going through the back door? Shaking his head, he turned his horse's head as well. Enter the Temple of Inspiration through the back door.

After Li Ke walked away, he beckoned to his captain of the guard, and said: "This king has been tried, Wang Ping'an and the eldest grandson Wuji do have a slight gap, but how the contradiction arises, it is not clear, you send someone to check it out, how the two of them got dirty." Find out and report to me. ”

The captain of the guard asked, "Where to start, where to start?" ”

Li Ke thought for a while and said, "The news originally came from Ganye Temple, so let's start checking from there." At that time, Wang Ping'an ran to find Li Zhi and said to him, who was present at the time, and what abnormal behavior Li Zhi had, it must be thoroughly investigated, and there must be no omission

The captain of the guard agreed, and began to wonder how to start investigating.

Let's say that Wang Ping'an returned to the Inspiration Temple, he sent someone to inform Tang Xuanban, and the emperor ordered him to go to Chengtianmen to watch the lanterns at night, so that Tang Xuanwan could prepare in advance. He went into his room and saw Qiu Renjie waiting in the room.

Wang Ping'an said: "You came just in time, I have something to look for you." By the way, why don't you study in the manor and come back to work? ”

Qiu Renjie got up, took off his robe for him, and said, "I have been restless these days, and I can't read the book, so I came back to find my eldest brother." Big brother, has the topic of the scientific examination come down? ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You have also learned to go through the back door, and you go so directly that you even open your mouth to ask exam questions." He said: "I have come down a long time ago, I knew about it last year, and the eldest grandson Wuji told me in person." ”

Qiu Renjie was taken aback and exclaimed, "Already down?" Big brother, why don't you tell me! ”

Wang Ping'an said angrily: "You are so unproductive, you can't answer the paper by yourself, and you can pass the exam solidly."

Qiu Renjie blinked his eyes and said: "If you pass the exam yourself, it won't be difficult for the younger brother to still have this confidence, but now it's not to get the top in the exam, this is more difficult, and you can't just rely on the eldest brother to work hard when he marks the papers, and the younger brother has to work hard himself." ”

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I can't tell you in advance, not because I'm afraid that you won't be strict in your mouth, but because I'm afraid that when you usually talk or read, you pay attention to that aspect of things, and as a result, someone guesses it, which won't cause trouble."

After a pause, he said again: "But it doesn't matter now, the department will be opened after the Lantern Festival, so many days of work, as long as you are careful, there is less people to come and go." I'm not afraid of leaking exam questions. Listen, there are two questions about strategy. One is the new law for disaster relief, and the other is the disease of smallpox, and it must be one of them, and the new law for disaster relief is more likely. ”

Qiu Renjie spoke again and said, "It turns out that the junior brother of these two questions should have expected it a long time ago

"You think you're a god, and you can even expect the exam questions." Wang Ping'an said casually, sat down on the chair, took out the list, and looked at it.

Qiu Renjie said: "It really should have been expected a long time ago. When the eldest brother and the younger brother first met, they were also a scholar to be examined. But not long after, he became the deputy chief examiner. With the age and qualifications of the eldest brother, why did he become the deputy examiner, it is not because these two questions are related to you, you don't need to take the exam at all. It's a good thing, you don't take the test. On the other hand, he took the test and became a teacher from the same year" Wang Ping'an laughed twice, carefully read the list carefully, and made sure that there was no one he knew.

Qiu Renjie paced slowly in the room, thinking about how to answer, as long as he knew the question. Then everything is easy to do, and it is not so difficult for him to make two strategic theories.

Wang Ping'an put the list on the table and said, "Brother, don't think about it first, you look at this list, you see if there are any people you know in it."

He didn't directly say the names of the three people, but asked Qiu Renjie to see it himself.

Qiu Renjie hummed, sat down at the table, and picked up the list. said: "The little brother is not familiar with these people" Hey, what's the matter. I know, haven't met, but know who it is. ”

He pointed to a name in the list, and this name happened to be one of the three names given by Li Ke.

Wang Ping'an said: "If you haven't met, how can you know each other, but the world friends and elders know each other?" ”

Qiu Renjie shook his head and said, "It's not that the elders know each other, but that I've heard about this person's elders." He pointed to the person's name, and said, "This person's surname is rare, and his ancestral home is here, so it is easy to determine who it is." I heard that this person's grandfather offended the eldest grandson Wuji, and was killed by the eldest grandson Wuji. ”

Wang Ping'an's eyes flickered and asked, "What else?"

Qiu Renjie looked down at the list, thinking while looking at it, after a moment, he pointed out two more people, and said: "The situation of these two people is the same as the previous one, they are both descendants of the opponent of the eldest grandson Wuji, are they also scholars, people who want to take the exam?"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Exactly." It was a person who asked me to take these three people, and all three of them were Jinshike. ”

Qiu Renjie sighed, pointed to the list and said: "Big brother, as long as Lord Changsun is in power for one day, these three people don't want to pass the exam, if you take care of these three people, don't say whether you can take care of them, as long as you mention it, it is equivalent to offending Lord Changsun completely, and the person who gave you this list has bad intentions." ”

Wang Ping'an snorted and said, "As expected. It turned out to be a trap. Guess who gave me this list?

Qiu Renjie lowered his eyelids, thought for a moment, raised his eyes, and said, "It must be Wu Wang Li Ke!" ”
