Chapter 232: Rescuers with ulterior motives
Later, in order to balance the number of officials in various places, he had to set the name of the tribute scholar in the meeting to the south, the middle and the north of the three grades, and the local lifters were selected according to the corresponding quota, but for a long time, the thirteen political divisions of the Ming Dynasty were still in the total number of Jinshi. The number of Jinshi in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces has always been among the best, which also makes the hall located outside the city that was originally funded and built by Jiangxi giant businessmen cover an area of dozens of acres after several repairs, and inns, restaurants, pawnshops, etc. are readily available, but the move is intentional, and a strip can even call the city's extremely red top brand.
Nowadays, in addition to the tributes, there are also several wealthy merchants who go to Beijing to do business. It's just that although they are rich, they are all flattering and flattering to those tributes who have stepped into the officialdom with one foot, and no one dares to offend easily. And the rest of the fallen ones are not so chic, seeing that their companions say that there is an invitation to the literary meeting, some people pack up and return to their hometowns, and some people plan to try their luck in the capital to see if they can vote for the eyes of those high-ranking officials and eunuchs first. As a result, a middle-aged man who has lived in the hall since the end of last year and is said to be a middle-aged man who often enters and exits the power gate, naturally became the object of everyone's learning.
At this moment, Di Luo raised his glass with a smile and drank it all, and when he saw that the toaster was looking at him with expectant eyes, he smiled and said: "These old ladies in the court now like to make a solid fuss, so to let them appreciate it, the first thing is reputation." Participating in ten cultural meetings is not as important as one time, just like the cultural meeting presided over by Li Gelao, if you can go once, your worth will not only increase by a hundred times. Moreover, it is to make more friends with those famous people, such as Zhan Yuanming in Guangdong, who worshiped under Chen Baisha, first won the appreciation of the Nanjian Zhang's sacrificial wine, and then won the old green eyes of Li Ge, and the nomination for this examination is expected......"
After talking endlessly about how to promote himself, how to improve his fame, how to create chance encounters, and even how to sensationalize and so on, Di Luo changed his words, and talked about the preferences of the ministers of the court, and when everyone was in awe, he stopped, and then only talked about Fengyue, and when the song ended, he returned to his room with a little drunkenness, and as soon as the door closed, his eyes that had just been cloudy immediately cleared.
He has always been in the south, and he has only heard reports about the situation in the north, but now he knows it personally, but it is difficult to enter the house immediately for a while.
"Sir!"
With the sound of a knock at the door, an old servant flashed through the door, bowed behind him and whispered, "Sir, something happened over there in Jiao Huangzhong." Didn't he eat a few words of lesson from others when he tried to release the list before, and then he scratched your husband for a while? Today, he should have asked his personal scholar to use the silver to teach Xu Zhenqing a lesson, but the person was injured, but the murderers all fell into Xu Xun's hands. ”
"Did he really do that?" Di Luo was surprised, raised his eyebrows, and said thoughtfully, "Jiao Fang is so old and cunning, but his son is so impulsive and reckless, he is really a tiger father and a dog." By the way, how did Xu Xun hold people? ”
"Xu Xun brought his own soldiers."
Di Luo was stunned for a moment, and then frowned thoughtfully. To say that he has always paid some attention to this young man who came to the capital at almost the same time as himself because of the fall of Zhao Qin, especially after seeing his rise to the top, he was even more interested. If it weren't for the fear of being abrupt, he would almost always want to meet people in person. After pondering for a long time, he said thoughtfully: "Jiao Huangzhong thought that I was from Henan and lived in Jiangxi temporarily, so after several times, he recommended me to his father a few times. Now that he has made a name for himself, this is an opportunity to break in......"
"But sir, that Xu Jin is now living in Jiaofu under the pseudonym Yunfu, and he and you have met ......."
"I am incarnated by tens of millions, how can he be recognized by an ordinary man?" Di Luo smiled confidently, and the tone of his voice suddenly brought out an obvious Jinling native accent, "If he knew that the Qingke of Zhao Mansion in the past was the guest of Jiaofu today, he would not be so downtrodden as a slave in Jiaofu." Okay, you go and prepare the post, I'm going to take a trip to Jiao's house. ”
"Yes. By the way, sir, there is one more thing, the people from Xiao Jing's private house handed over the news, saying that Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai jointly visited Xiao Jing and sent the newly compiled materia medica over for review, and also sent two pots of orchids, including one of our people. It is said that Xiao Jing's little guy also dug out a piece of jade from the soil......"
"Liu Wentai ......"
Diro hesitated thoughtfully for a moment. If it weren't for the protection of Emperor Hongzhi, first Emperor Xianzong died, and then Wang Shu resigned, this Liu Wentai would have died twice! Moreover, this person still has several opponents in the Tai Hospital, and there are still people in the court who say that he is a quack doctor, and the resistance to the reinstatement of this official is not in the emperor, but in the minister...... But the more people who are so greedy for profit, the easier it is to win over, and after he asked Liu Wentai to give him two hundred taels of gold, he gently and skillfully sent the two Danfang into the Ouchi.
Although Emperor Hongzhi is not as superstitious as before, once he believes in it, he will not let it go easily!
"You let people stare at him more, if you can open Xiao Jing's breakthrough from him, it's also a good thing. After all, he, the imperial doctor, is close to the emperor, and the prince now seems to have a good opinion of him. It doesn't matter if it's mediocre or not, it's not him who treats us anyway. ”
After the master and servant stopped talking, the old servant opened the door and was about to go out to prepare the car, when a little scholar outside hurriedly came up, lowered his hand and bowed his head and said, "Sir, Jiao Gongzi is here outside, saying that he has something urgent to see you." ”
Say Cao Ying, Cao Ying will arrive!
Diro's eyelids in the room jumped, and he immediately pushed the old servant out of the house and greeted him in person. However, when he arrived at the second gate, he saw that the other party was full of alcohol, and he couldn't even wait to go in, so he shouted impatiently: "Brother Luo, you have to help me find a way, that thing was done, but as a result, those fools crashed into Xu Xun's hands, and he actually went straight to my house!" ”
Di Luo was stunned in his heart, when he saw a young man at the gate who was entering the door and glanced here, he couldn't help but secretly complain that Jiao Huang was frivolous, but he raised his eyebrows casually and said: "Jiao Gongzi, you have no head and no brains, I am confused." It's not the place to talk outside, so let's go in and talk slowly. ”
Only then did Jiao Huangzhong realize that this was the entrance of the Jiangxi Guild Hall, a street where people came and went. As soon as he saw that there were no pedestrians, and the young man who was passing by just now didn't pay much attention to it and went inside, he secretly regretted his gaffe, and hurried in without saying a word. And Di Luo glanced at the old servant on the side, and nodded in understanding when he saw that the people were understanding, and he walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Jiao Huangzhong.
In the garden of the guild hall, several tributes were meeting the text, and when they saw that a person came in at the door, the youngest Wan Bo stood up, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, where did you come back again?" ”
Although he once fell out with a few people who came to take the exam, Yan Song is now a high school tribute, but when those few failed to return to his hometown, he also sincerely went to see him off, and encouraged him with his fellow villagers. The Gongshi from Jiangxi Province were in their early thirties, and they were faintly divided into several small circles. Among them, Wan Bo's father is the prefect of Jinhua, and he has attracted a few people through his fame, and he wants to envelop Yan Song, who is at the top of the test but is free from a few small circles.
"Where is the text, the weather is good today, so I went to the Guandi Temple for a turn." Yan Song nodded and stepped forward, seeing a piece of paper in front of Wan Bo and a few people, he couldn't help but lower his head and take a closer look, and then said, "This is the strategy that Brother Wan Xian has proposed?" Although there are similarities between the temple test strategy theory and the eight-strand problem-solving problem, the eight-strand talks about ......"
He talked with great interest about the difference between the three questions of the palace examination and the general examination, quoted the scriptures and talked about the previous mathematics theory, and finally discussed the possible topics with Wan Bo and the other three people, as if he didn't notice the old servant who was quietly watching here at the door. I don't know how long it took for Yan Song's tirade to come to an end, and after sitting down at the invitation of Wan Bo, he looked at the door without a trace, and saw that the person was gone, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, there shouldn't be any flaws in this time! It's just that he recognized the person who was shouting just now, and it was very eye-catching when he tried it, and he vaguely remembered what Jiao Shilang's son was, what did this person do and crashed into Xu Xun's hands, and then Xu Xun went directly to Jiao's mansion?
In Di Luo's room, Jiao Huangzhong blurted out almost as soon as the door was closed: "Let me tell you, I found a few people to teach the poor ghost surnamed Xu a lesson, but those fools were beaten, and they fell into the hands of Xu Xun!" ”
"What?" Di Luo pretended to be shocked, and his eyes widened suddenly, "Jiao Gongzi, you really did this kind of thing?" Seeing that Jiao Huangzhong was angry, he smiled and said, "But just do it, Jiao Gongzi, you won't find someone in person, just send the person who is in the middle to send the messenger back to his hometown." Besides, Xu Xun is an outsider, so Ling Zun will not blame you for the words of outsiders! ”
Jiao Huang is in his early forties but is still just a mere lifter, and he is not allowed to enter the office, and his father treats him as an ignorant junior at home, which makes him full of scratches but nowhere to send it. Therefore, after getting acquainted with Di Luo, he felt that this fellow countryman of his age was very comfortable together, and he liked to discuss everything with others. Although Diro always came up with ideas as if he was joking, every sentence could get to the point and solve his troubles, and he never took credit. At this time, listening to what the other party said, although his heart was a little smoother, he still pounded on the door worriedly.
"You don't know! My dad is wooing that Xu Xun. He had written to speak for Xu's father and son before, and after Xu Xun's training, he echoed and praised him again and again, and a few days ago he also wrote that the 2,000 avant-garde soldiers of the government army were really non-compliant, and at least 5,000 should be made up...... If Xu Xun really said that mine was not in front of my father, my father would not believe it! ”
Di Luo knew that Jiao Huang Zhonghui would have no master, and after pretending to be a deep groan, he smiled slightly: "That is the case, so be it, Jiao Gongzi will pretend to invite me to Jiao Mansion as a guest, if that Xu Xun is really a Xingshi to ask for guilt, I will meet him!" ”
