Han Rui was stunned, his face was flushed, and he almost wanted to hide his sleeves.

What is prestigious, it has been done for a long time, only Wei Zheng knows, so what kind of strength is it humble.

Wei Zheng was also very embarrassed, and hurriedly explained the ins and outs, hearing about Han Rui's deeds in Yangzhou, Yan Lide and Ma Zhou's eyes were full of color and ripples, and they were a little moved.

"If there is no water hall dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit." Wei Zheng chanted two sentences and sighed: "Emperor Yang was defeated and killed because of his arrogance and luxury. ”

Everyone understood what he meant, Ma Zhoushen thought so, but Yan Lide said cautiously: "Today is the Ming Jun, and the palace is not built for the sake of it, but for the sake of filial piety......

"Your Majesty Shengming, unlike Emperor Yang's mediocrity, we naturally know it." Wei Zheng said: "However, now that the world is decided, all industries are waiting to be prospered, and the people are poor, we should give priority to rest and recuperate, and wait until the treasury is abundant in the future, and it is not too late to build a palace to fulfill filial piety." ”

"Very much." Ma Zhou agreed.

Anyway, after expressing his opinion, Yan Lide suddenly had nothing to say, and smiled and agreed.

"The emperor is at fault, and we should naturally take it as a reason, which is the duty of the courtiers." Wei Zheng wrote lightly, but his attitude was very resolute and serious.

The gains and losses of the government are not something that ordinary people like himself can pay attention to, so Han Rui remained silent and listened quietly, he didn't want to, maybe it was because he was interested, Wei Zheng suddenly turned his head and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Well, Han Rui raised his head in surprise, blinked and said, "The court is a big event, the kid doesn't know the reason, and he doesn't dare to say anything." ”

"You've been listening for a long time, and you should know what happened." Wei Zheng's eyes were like torches: "Do you not know, or don't you dare?" ”

After hesitating, Han Rui said: "There is no beginning, there is an end, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, the construction of the palace will be endless, and the people want to be quiet but can't, so they naturally have to be advised." ”

"Not bad." Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Even the boy in cloth has such knowledge, we are waiting for the king's luck, so we naturally want to be loyal to the king, think about it, know everything, how can we be afraid of the emperor's might, retreat and avoid it." ”

"Wei Ge Lao is loyal to the country, and he is straightforward, and the kid has always admired him." Han Rui said sincerely, change places, and change to Li Shimin, who is killed and killed, I am afraid that he will not even dare to come out of the atmosphere, let alone offend Long Yan, not to mention what equality and inequality are, it is because he knows the value of equality that he knows the horror of the difference between respect and inferiority.

"There seems to be a mystery in this statement." Wei Zheng smiled heartily: "You're ridiculing me." ”

"How dare you." Han Rui defended and was also puzzled how Wei Zheng came to this conclusion.

"The official is close to me, doesn't he classify me as a family of scholars." Wei Zheng smiled, personally served Han Rui a glass of wine, and said seriously: "There are also people who say that your article is nondescript and incomprehensible, it will only be unconventional and alarmist, in fact, there is no readability at all......"

Ben was flattered, but when he heard this, Han Rui immediately frowned, although it was opportunistic, but the article was indeed word for word, how could it get into their mouths, but it was worthless.

"Don't be angry." Wei Zheng sneered: "If it weren't for poking at their sore spots, how could there be such a big reaction, Master Yu argued for you several times, but there were more than one doubts about it, especially when he heard that you were not a weak crown, he sneered at it......

Hmph, Han Rui didn't bother to respond, but he didn't see much anger, and he didn't look like he was in the same place.

"Alas, poor Master Yu......" Wei Zheng suddenly stopped.

Han Rui didn't take precautions, so he was naturally fooled, and asked in confusion: "How is Gong Yu?" ”

"Don't mention it." Wei Zheng waved his hand, his expression regretful, and then asked, "You are coming to Chang'an, are you going to see next year's imperial examination?" ”

"Sort of." It's a long story, and his heart is slightly anxious, Han Rui simply agreed vaguely, and at the same time frowned and asked, "What does this matter have to do with Duke Yu?" ”

"Some people slander that you have a weak relationship with Master Yu, maybe you are a close relative, he is building momentum for you, so cloudy, poor Master Yu has been flawless for many years, but his reputation has been damaged for no reason." Wei Zheng sighed, waved his hand again, and said indifferently: "However, it's just some gossip, it can't be true, at least we don't believe it at all." ”

Han Rui was silent, bowing his head and contemplating.

"By the way, you are here to take the exam, there should be a line paper, can you give it a certain view." Wei Zheng seemed to be hinting at something.

Annihilating the cunning fox, Yan Lide and Ma Zhou looked at each other, and immediately understood in their hearts, saying so much, this is the purpose.

This is Wei Zheng's usual method, similar to when he admonished the emperor, throw an introduction first, and when you accept it, he will take out what he wants to say, at this time you have to go down with him, naturally step by step into the ditch, the clouds and fog to say a lot, in fact, Wei Zheng wants to watch Han Rui's article, whether it is as outstanding as Yu Shinan said.

The so-called Xingjuan is a means for the scholars who take the examination to compile their works into a collection, write them into scrolls, and send them to the Confucian magnates who have a prestigious status in the society and the court at that time, and ask them to recommend them to the chief officer, that is, the official who presides over the examination, so as to increase their success rate in the examination.

Because the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was not vague during the examination, in addition to reading the examination papers in detail, the chief examination officials also had to refer to the works and reputation of Ju Ziping to decide, and those high-ranking officials and magnates, great Confucian celebrities, can recommend talents and participate in the determination of the list of imperial examinations, which naturally makes the wind of the paper popular.

It's just that Han Rui's purpose in coming to Chang'an was not to participate in the imperial examination, so naturally he didn't prepare for the papers, but he didn't tell the truth, smiled, and said softly: "Ming, whether Wei Ge Lao wants to go to the court and advise the Son of Heaven not to repair the palace." ”

"Yes, yes." Wei Zheng said, his eyes flashing, not knowing what he meant.

Han Rui Zhengrong said: "If Wei Ge is old, he doesn't think that the kid is ugly, and he is willing to ghostwrite." ”

Wei Zheng was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed: "Ma Yushi, what do you think." ”

Everyone knows why Wei Zheng asked Ma Zhou, because back then, Ma Zhou was a talent to help the world, but he has been very unwilling, and later because of poverty and helplessness, he took refuge in Zhonglang General Chang He, and became a guest, during which Li Shimin asked the court officials to write an article to discuss the gains and losses of current politics.

Taking this opportunity, Ma Zhou improvised and expressed his opinions, Li Shimin saw it, immediately invited inquiries, talked freely, felt that this person was a great talent, of course, appreciated, Ma Zhou also began to embark on the road of prosperity, but in a year or two, from a humble cloth, to become the imperial history of the imperial court.

Looking back on the past, Ma Zhou felt a little touched in his heart, but on the surface, he was silent, his eyes were burning, and he looked at Han Rui, whether he didn't know the height of the sky and wanted to ascend to the sky in one step, or he had great talent and wanted to make a splash.

Han Rui didn't dodge, looked up directly, and calmly faced each other.

Halfway, Ma Zhou nodded slightly and said, "Look at the text first, and then talk about anything else." ”

In other words, they are willing to give Han Rui the opportunity to show, but the power to decide is still in their hands, after all, whether it is Wei Zheng or Ma Zhou, they have the talent to persuade and have their own opinions, how can they easily listen to Han Rui's words.

"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone." Wei Zheng raised his voice, watching with interest, and sighed secretly in his heart, Yu Boshi, it depends on what kind of Jianghuai talents you talk about all day long.

Han Rui knelt in front of the desk, touched his knees with both hands, his waist was straight, his eyes were closed, and the copper stove next to him lit a curling cigarette, like a cloud of mist.

In a moment, the servant took a fine tube, dipped it lightly, rested it on the pen stand, and quietly retreated.

There is no need to be reminded by others, Han Rui opened his eyes, held the pen in his sleeve, pondered for a moment, the pen dust fell on the paper, from top to bottom, the pen walked the dragon and snake, winding smoothly, and a line of thick ink but elegant font jumped on the paper.

Han Rui wrote carefully and carefully, Wei Zheng was also a little curious, quietly walked over, read a few words carefully, his eyes flickered, and when he looked at it again, he suddenly felt a sense of pride in his chest, and he couldn't help but shout: "Wonderful......"

Before he spoke, his voice stopped abruptly, only to see Wei Zheng cover his sleeves, his expression was excited, he almost wanted to shout praise, and he was afraid of disturbing Han Rui, who was not diligent in writing, Yan Lide and Ma Zhou next to him saw it, and they couldn't help it, so they walked leisurely and watched, only after looking at a few lines, their faces were like Wei Zheng, and their mood was agitated.

Finally, Han Rui slowly put down the pen in his hand, but listened to Wei Zheng excitedly shouting: "Pointing out Chen Shi's shortcomings, incisive and wonderful words, it is hearty to watch." ”

"Then, according to the opinion of Wei Ge Lao, can this article be offered to the imperial review?" Han Rui smiled slightly.

"Naturally, this piece of sparse music is presented, if Your Majesty insists on not accepting it, Wei will immediately resign and retire." Wei Zheng laughed, looked at Han Rui, and sighed: "If it is really as Master Yu said, it deserves the praise of young talents." ”

His eyes were a little complicated, Ma Zhou's serious face was a little more kind, and he said slowly: "If you have time later, you can come to find someone to toast and talk." ”

Looking at the young and handsome and talented Han Rui, Yan Lide's chest suddenly moved, the smile on his face became stronger, and he said kindly: "You should never be married." ”

"Well, not yet." Han Rui replied, a little strange, why did he suddenly ask about this.

Yan Lide became more and more happy, and said with a smile: "So very good, there is a daughter in a certain family, about fifteen years old, a little peugeot, although I dare not say virtuous and virtuous, but she is gentle and gentle, and she is knowledgeable, and she likes poetry and articles the most, if you are interested, it is better to bump into it, and you might as well meet first......

Suddenly, is it being a matchmaker? This is too direct, Han Rui sweated on his forehead, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"Cough, cough, Yan Shilang, he already has a marriage contract, so I won't bother you." A voice came, but it was Zheng Renji, who had disappeared for a long time, with wide sleeves and long robes, with a graceful demeanor, smiling and arching his hands, and said apologetically: "It's rude to take a break for a while, let a few people wait for a long time, don't blame." ”

After punishing himself three cups, he pulled the article casually, and after reading it carefully, Zheng Renji looked calm and said with a smile: "The kid does have two points of talent, and the splendid article is okay even if it is one, but the way to govern the country and the country still needs more guidance from you." ”

Han Rui blinked in confusion, Zheng Renji's attitude seemed to be very strange, where the specific fault was, for a while, but he couldn't say.

Over there, Yan Lide was quite disappointed, in the current world, it is not easy to find a good son-in-law, he was touched, and said unconsciously: "If you have a marriage contract, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't get married, you can still withdraw it." ”

Yan Lide said it unintentionally, but Zheng Renji listened to it intentionally, this was obviously revealing people's scars, and he was immediately displeased, and in a fit of anger, he said coldly: "Yan Shilang, let me tell you clearly, he is my son-in-law, and he and his little daughter have been scheduled to marry, so I will invite you to the banquet at that time, don't shirk." ”

Ah, Han Rui was dumbfounded, when did he become the son-in-law of the Zheng family, why didn't he know.
