Chapter 53: The Tang Dynasty Cultural Society (1)

Since the murder in the grassland on the outskirts of the city, the faction of the eldest prince and the second prince in the court have attacked each other, insulted each other, and quarreled around this matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Every day, before His Majesty the Emperor spoke, those officials began to play the book, gushing endlessly about things from murder to self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and the Qi family governing the country and leveling the world.

But no matter how much they talked and how they talked, the emperor kept a cold face and did not express his position. After a long time, those officials were muttering in their hearts, what does Your Majesty mean...... What does it mean? Completely incomprehensible.

The officials of the Second Prince's faction were confused in their hearts, and there was really no way, so they looked at Leng Cangyun, the second old lady of the Leng family, who was the left minister of the court today, and saw that he looked like an old god, and neither said anything to help nor stop him. The heart is becoming more and more confused, and the second monk is confused. However, they still adhere to their consistent policy, that is, to spare no effort to put aside the involvement of the second prince.

And the officials of the faction headed by Pang Taishi bit Zhongshu Shilang, Jingxian Cheng and others, insinuating that the second prince connived at his subordinates to be traitors, but they were killed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the officials of the second prince pulled Taishi Pang into the water. But that Pang Taishi, after three dynasties, is even more the ruler of the dynasty, like an old loach, slippery and not slippery. How can you be stumped by the means of such a trick?

Therefore, as soon as the key question came, Master Pang folded his ears and shouted: "What? Is Zhongshu Shilang going to give birth? That's a happy event, ......, you have to wrap a red envelope. Hahaha, happy event. ”

"It's not that it's born, it's that the prince of the house is dead."

Hearing the official shouting, Taishi Pang was confused, and continued to hold his ears and shout: "Ling Lang is dead? Profound...... Then isn't the son of another family dead? I'm deaf, don't lie to me! ”

"He went hunting and was killed."

"Hunting? What kind of hunting do you go to the pastures? Oh yes...... the old man remembered that the first emperor also liked to hunt back then, and he ...... back then. ”

At this time, the officials in the court knew that Master Pang was going to remember the past again, so everyone tacitly looked up at the sky above the main hall, and there was a feeling that I would quietly listen to you pretending to be forced.

In this way, you have fought back and forth several times, not only did not solve the problem, but made things a mess. Whenever this happens, His Majesty the Emperor sees Ye Jingquan standing aside, staying out of the matter, and is silent. said gently: "Ye Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Ye Jingquan arrived, every pore of his body began to exude talent for performing arts.

Cheng Cheng said with fear: "Your Majesty, the minister only knows how to handle official business, and he really doesn't know how to investigate cases. ”

"Your Majesty, there must be something strange about this matter."

"Your Majesty, the minister is terrified."

Get! It's an old fritter again, and if you say it, you don't say it.

……

……

No matter how lively the quarrel is in the court, the flat-headed old man doesn't care, and when he is fine, he sits in front of the door and laughs and chatters, ridiculing that the old men in the court are old foxes. When there is something, they all do their own things, they work hard for their livelihoods, who is idle and panicked, and inquire about those boring gossips every day.

For them, murders on the outskirts of the city are far away and untouchable for them. On the contrary, the public examination of the Datang Cultural Association is more interesting and attractive.

These people don't really understand the poems and words. It's just that nowadays, although Wendao is prosperous, Datang is the bottom of the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, as a Tang Dynasty person, I always hope that this outstanding teenager can shine in the upcoming world meeting. After all, don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath.

What's more, this kind of excitement must be extremely beautiful.

This Tang Dynasty Cultural Meeting was presided over by the King of the Dynasty and the King of Xiaoyao. The three deans of Canghai Academy, Shuling Academy, and Tiannan Academy are the final judges. Fifteen civil officials and masters from the Han family and with a good reputation were selected from the court and the three academies as the primary judges.

This level of literary society, with both the academy and the royal family in charge, and the public examination, the possibility of cheating is really minimal. However, according to the provisions of the "Tang Law Discussion", once cheating in the literary meeting is discovered, in addition to being discredited and never being hired, there is also the disaster of imprisonment and the punishment of parade in the street. This is a great shame for the literati who value face. As a result, few people dare to take risks.

The cultural meeting is about to begin, and Chang'an is empty. The common people ran to the place of the public test, and surrounded the square three times inside and three times outside. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor had already expected this result and sent Zhou Han to lead the Nanya Praetorian Guard to maintain law and order, so the order was not too disturbing.

The square is located in the center of Chang'an, adjacent to the imperial palace, covering a vast area, which was specially built for the Tianxia Club at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

At the front of the square, there is a high platform, and on top of the high platform, five people are sitting. Among these five people, because Mr. Ye Gongshu was the emperor of the dynasty and the mentor of the young man of King Xian and King Xiaoyao, he sat in the center. On both sides of Mr. Ye Gongshu, one left and one right are King Xiaoyao and King Xian, and on the two sides are Leng Feng, the dean of Tiannan Academy, and Ou Yezi, the dean of Shuling Academy.

There are a total of fifteen seats under the five people, and the fifteen people sitting are the masters and civil officials above the academy and the court. On either side of the columns are deacons, proctors, and transcribers.

Further down, around the central examination room, there is a row of seats where the 50 students who participated in the public examination stand. As for the rest of the place, it was all the crowd of onlookers, as well as the Nanya forbidden army to maintain order.

The students to be examined stood in high spirits, in twos and threes, or talking loudly, or concentrating, which attracted the onlookers for a while.

At the forefront of the students, there is a teenager with ordinary appearance, ordinary clothes, and ordinary temperament, this person is Leng Futong, who has extraordinary talents under his ordinary appearance. And next to him, Leng Wuhuan stood on the left, and on the right stood a girl in Tsing Yi, named Condensation Cream, with a good appearance and a virtuous and quiet lady. If you look at the stands, you will find that Zhang Jingmo in the stands is looking at the condensation frost with admiration on his face, fascinated.

Looking at the side of the condensation frost again, Ye Chen, Li Yixing and Ye Lingzhu stood together. The men are suave and the women are delicate and beautiful, which amazes everyone for a while. Looking down along the three of them, standing was Li Zhi, the little son of the Sheng family.

When Li Siyuan, the fourth prince of the dynasty, and a white-clothed prince who no one knew stood in the center, although the two stood independently, they were as dazzling as the peerless double pride.

Against the backdrop of the two of them, the four sons of Chang'an, Xie An, Wang Yun and other talents standing next to him, seemed to be out of the crowd.

The position in which these young talents stand is not deliberately arranged. It is the students who find their own position, although the position does not mean anything, but the literati have a good face and admire the glory, so they generally choose a high-profile position to stand.

……

……

On the high platform, the gongs and drums have been struck three times, and there is still half an hour before the official start of the Tang Dynasty.

Ye Lingzhu glanced left and right, and wondered, "Brother, why haven't you come yet?" It won't be ...... Too scared to participate, right? ”

Ye Chen's temper has always been gentle, but at this time, he frowned, but thinking that Ye Lingzhu might have said something unintentionally. Shaking his head with a sigh, he guessed: "Maybe it's delayed, it should be there in a while." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that in the crowd, Mo Fei, who was wearing an ink-black robe, whispered a few words to the woman next to him, who was also in ink-black, and walked in slowly.

There are people standing in conspicuous places, but fortunately, Mo Fei didn't care, found a secluded place on the side, and stood quietly. And next to him, Lin Mumu, who was wearing coarse linen clothes and dragging straw sandals, turned his face and looked at Mo Fei seriously.

Seeing this, Mo Fei nodded with a smile and said, "Hello." ”

Lin Mu spit out word by word: "You...... Good! ”

His expression was sluggish, and his words were windless and unwavering.

……

Ye Chen, who was on the other side, smiled when he saw this, and really admired Mo Fei and Lin Mu's favor and humiliation, and was indifferent to fame and fortune. Generously walked towards Mo Fei's side, Ye Lingzhu thought for a while, followed step by step, took two steps, and found that Li Yixing did not follow. Curious: "Aren't you going over?" ”

"No need. Go ahead. The words were said to Ye Lingzhu, but his eyes were looking at Mo Fei.

Ye Lingzhu glanced at Mo Fei suspiciously, and said puzzledly: "You seem to have always had a prejudice against him, don't you...... You also believe he cheats? ”

Li Yixing glanced at Mo Fei meaningfully, retracted his gaze, shook his head and smiled: "No, he didn't cheat, and I didn't stay away from him because I believed him cheating." Li Yixing hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "I'm afraid." ”

"Afraid?"

Li Yixing bowed slightly, and hesitated: "I can't understand him, but ...... He gave me a sense of danger. I am afraid of this danger because...... I've been through it before. ”

Ye Lingzhu seemed to have thought of some past events, and he also knew what Li Yixing had experienced, so he nodded as if he didn't understand, didn't say anything more, and walked over.

……

And Leng Futong, who was at the front, noticed everything, turned his head silently, and looked at Mo Fei, there was no expression on his calm face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"That person, it only took two quarters of an hour to hand in the exam papers during the selection." Leng Futong's tone was bland, just like the feeling of his appearance, but it sounded like there was another convincing charm.

Condensation Frost frowned lightly and looked at Mo Fei, and asked, "Could it be that he is the person named Mo Fei from Canghai Academy?" ”

Leng Wuhuan on the side said disdainfully: "Hmph! Now Chang'an doesn't know that he is cheating ....... ”

Leng Wuhuan was talking, when he saw Leng Futong looking at him coldly, he was cold, he lowered his head in fear, and immediately closed his mouth like a river mussel.

……

As Ye Chen and Ye Lingzhu walked towards Mo Fei, the audience also noticed this change and turned their heads away. muttered, "Where did Ye Gongzi and Miss Ye go?" Who is that teenager? ”
