When the scholar heard this, he turned around, and sure enough, it was the white-faced Xin Litong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xin Litong and others were the trigger for the February turmoil. At that time, they were arrested for protecting refugees, and in order to rescue them, the scholars collectively went to the prime minister's office to petition, which led to the later turmoil and even changed the situation of the court.

It's just that he was arrested in the cell of the Terracotta Temple at the beginning, and naturally he didn't have the opportunity to go to Chengtianmen to study, he didn't have the fate to see Emperor Zhaowu, and he didn't have the blessing to listen to the Golden Palace, so naturally he didn't know Qin Lei's true identity. Seeing Qin Lei at this time, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly smiled after a while: "It turned out to be Wu Gongzi." ”

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Brother Xin is a noble person who forgets things," he said, pointing to the seat next to him and said: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, why don't you come and sit together." ”

Xin Litong looked quite moved, but when he saw the female dependents sitting next to him, he couldn't help but hesitate a little rashly.

Ruolan is a well-eyed person, and when she heard this, she got up and smiled: "The slave hasn't shopped enough, and I just want to ask the master for nothing." ”

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "Just sit, this is not at home, how can there be so many rules?" ”

Xin Litong also smiled: "It's a stick." Then he came over and sat down with Qin Lei.

The price of wine and food was delivered, and the table was filled after a while, Qin Lei and Xin Litong drank a few glasses, and then asked with a smile: "The first day of the third month is Dabi, Brother Xin still has the leisure to come out to drink, it seems that he has already made a bamboo in his chest." ”

Hearing Qin Lei's words, Xin Litong said with shame on his face: "Where is there something in the chest, but I am just bored in my heart, and I just came out to borrow wine to drown my sorrows." ”

Qin Lei touched a glass with him, shook his head and smiled: "I don't know that borrowing wine to drown my sorrows is even more sorrowful, let alone drinking?" "Shi Dang and Ruolan on the side listened to it, and said in their hearts: 'The prince is really cultured today......

As everyone knows, Li Hun ridiculed Qin Lei for being uncivilized with him that day, which made the chief examiner of this spring festival quite embarrassed, and now he has to spend an hour or two every day to work hard. At first, I looked at some subsets of scriptures and histories, but those books were so concise and outrageous that they only needed to read three or five lines to make people sleep soundly. In the end, I had to find some legendary novels such as "Taiping Guangji" and "The Last Affair of Kaiyuan" to read, and there were some plot descriptions, and I could watch them for a while.

Fortunately, the exhibition volume is beneficial, and even after reading the novel for more than ten days, I can't speak in vain...... That's what you want! Qin Lei said proudly in his heart: "Lao Tzu just needs to package a façade, is it true that he wants to be poor and sweaty?" It is said that these two idioms are also new.

Xin Litong just smiled bitterly, and Qin Lei asked again: "Why don't you see that business brother who values business ethics?" Aren't you always anxious about Meng, Meng is not out of focus? ”

Xin Litong praised sincerely when he heard this: "Brother Wu is really talented, and he has read thousands of books in the lower direction, but you have never heard of two dictionaries in a row. After speaking, he bowed his hand to Qin Lei and said, "Please also ask Brother Wu to give me advice." ”

Qin Lei was a little strange and said, "What kind of dictionary?" ”

Xin Litong praised: "Brother Wu can do whatever he wants, and he will be like rain falling without a trace." You just used the two allusions of 'bamboo in the chest' and 'Jiao Bu De Meng, Meng Bu Jiao'," he said, pinching up the fennel beans and groaning: "The meaning of the former one should be well known, but the artistic conception is very elegant...... It's very ...... to be confident and easy to draw bamboo."

Qin Lei's eyes widened and said, "You haven't heard this before?" ”

Xin Litong shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it," he said calmly: "My Chinese culture is broad and profound, and students have learned less than eleven, so naturally there will be allusions that have never been heard." ”

Qin Lei tried his best to recall for a long time, and said with a sneer: "That was said by an old master Su who lived in Dongpo in Qi State, and it may not have become popular yet. ”

Xin Litong smiled and said: "Exactly, but all good words and sentences can often become classics after a hundred years." Qin Lei was just about to wipe his sweat, and then he asked very seriously: "What about 'Jiao Bu Meng Bu Jiao'?" Is that what Mr. Su said? ”

Qin Lei smiled awkwardly: "They are two good men on Bajiao Mountain in Dongqi, and they have always been inseparable from each other, so the people there use this statement to compare the relationship between the two so good that they are inseparable." Afraid that this nerd would ask again, Qin Lei hurriedly jumped out from the academic level and said, "That is, the relationship between you and Brother Shang." ”

Xin Litong was really distracted, and sighed a little gloomily when he heard this: "It's not like the past now, Brother Shang has a lot of entertainment now, but he doesn't have time to drink with him." ”

Qin Lei said strangely: "What kind of entertainment can he have for an exam?" ”

Xin Litong fried leeks with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu doesn't know that 'Shibei three days, should be impressed?'" Brother Shang is fortunate to see the face of heaven, and now he is a 'protégé of the Son of Heaven', and he is destined to live in the temple in the future, so there will naturally be an endless stream of welcoming guests. ”

Qin Lei saw that he was just envious, but he had no jealousy, so he comforted him gently: "Now that the imperial court has changed the examiner, and the fraud is strictly investigated, it is not difficult to pass the examination with Brother Xin's high talent, and then he will not be the protégé of the Son of Heaven who has entered the house?" ”

Who knew that Xin Litong said with a bitter face: "It's true that the examiner has been changed, but the fraud is still going to be cheating......

Seeing that his expression was sad, Qin Lei didn't seem to be saying cool words, so he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "Brother Xin, what news did you hear?" ”

Xin Litong just sighed casually, but he didn't expect this Wu Gongzi to be so sensitive. At first, he just shook his head and was silent, until Qin Lei asked again and again, and then he sighed and said, "Childe, wait a moment." After speaking, he got up straight and went downstairs, and after a while, he came back with an envelope, handed it to Qin Lei and said, "Childe, look." ”

Qin Lei took the envelope suspiciously, took out the envelope and looked at it, only to see three sentences written on it: 'Two thousand taels for the first class, one thousand taels for the second class, and five hundred taels for the third class. After looking at it a few times, I don't know what this means: "Brother Xin, don't sell Guanzi, what the hell is this?" ”

Xin Litong smiled bitterly: "If you have five hundred taels, you can get the questions of the first exam; One thousand taels can get the first two test questions, and two thousand taels can get all three test questions of this spring. He said with a look of indignation: "Now that there are rich candidates, everyone has a share, and a poor student like Zai Xia has to watch Gan get angry from the side." "Two thousand taels of silver is also a huge amount of money for the average rich man, and it may not be possible to make up it by smashing the pot and selling iron.

Qin Lei said with a look of disbelief: "As far as I know, even the Fifth Highness of the main exam doesn't know the test questions yet, how can he buy them casually?" He said with a smile: "Could it be that someone made up some test questions to deceive me?" ”

Xin Litong knew that this 'Prince of Qin Wu' was unspeakably expensive, and what he said should be true. Hearing this, he was overjoyed at first, and then shook his head and said, "If it is sold out of thin air, how can people flock to it?" The key person has a guarantee. "Pointing to the footer of the letterhead, Qin Lei saw a line of small characters and said: 'Anyone who buys can sign with Zhongdu Wanli Building, and if there is a discrepancy, ten times the compensation.'

Xin Litong said in a deep voice: "Wanli Building is the first floor of the middle capital of the daily gold, so everyone believes it...... I believe it too. ”

Qin Lei finally couldn't laugh anymore, and was silent for a long time with his wine glass, and then asked faintly, "Where can I buy it?" ”

"There is a champion building, as long as you put the treasure money in this envelope and give it to the person wearing a leather jacket in the corner tower on the second floor, he will get you test questions and papers."

Qin Lei pondered for a while with a solemn face, and said to Shi Dang, who was standing behind him, "Go buy one and come back." Shi Dang whispered: "Wait a minute, the subordinates will go back to get the money first." Then he turned and left. No one would have nothing to do with so much money to go shopping on the street, isn't it pure thief?

Xin Litong saw that Qin Lei really wanted to buy it, so he hurriedly stopped: "The son is slow, he doesn't have the identity of a person, and he can't buy it even if he has money." ”

Qin Lei frowned and said, "It's quite troublesome." ”

Xin Litong explained softly: "The document can only be signed by the person himself, and no one else can replace it." ”

Qin Lei sneered: "I'm just fake? There was already a hint of anger in his words.

Xin Litong didn't know why this Wu Gongzi was so angry, so he hurriedly said cautiously: "In addition to the road guide, we also have a certificate issued by the province, and a portrait is attached to it." "It's also a way to prevent impersonation.

Qin Lei let out an 'oh', thought for a moment, slapped the table vigorously, and said to Xin Litong: "You go and buy it." ”

Xin Litong's face turned red, and he said with a slight excitement: "Zi said: 'A gentleman is righteous as a quality, righteousness is heavy, and loss of righteousness is light, and righteousness is proud, and betrayal of righteousness is humiliation. Although I have tried for a long time and have been defeated, I will never do such a thing that violates morality. After speaking, he looked at Qin Lei angrily, as if he would leave at any time.

Qin Lei looked at him for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Brother Xin misunderstood, I'm joking." Saying that, he personally poured a glass of wine for Xin Litong, and said softly: "Qin Mou can't compensate you." But Xin Litong was quite embarrassed, half got up and took the wine glass with both hands, and said with a self-deprecating face: "Childe is a good heart, but Xin is too pedantic." The unhappiness that was born just now is gone, and the relationship between the two is closer.

Qin Lei pondered for a moment, and then instructed Shi Dang: "You go there to find that person, and ask him to buy a copy of the exam questions and come back." Although he said vaguely, Shi Dang understood it, and quickly nodded his head and went to the young owner of Daheyuan without mentioning it.

Let this matter be stirred, Qin Lei didn't have the heart to eat and drink, and absentmindedly ate a few more cups with Xin Litong, although Xin Litong was a little pedantic, but he was not unsightly, raised his glass and smiled: "The gathering of gentlemen, the excitement will be dispersed, and it is time to go back to Wenshu in the future." ”

Qin Lei smiled apologetically: "It's okay, let's get together another day," and said with a meaningful smile: "Next time, I'll have to drink at the flower exploration banquet." ”

Xin Litong smiled slightly when he heard this: "Cheng Gongzi Jiyan, if Xin is fortunate enough to be named in the Wild Goose Pagoda, I will definitely pay tribute to you with three bowls." ”

Qin Lei laughed and said, "If you are drunk, you will rest." So he went downstairs with him, waved his hand and ran away.

After separating from Xin Litong, Qin Lei wanted to take Ruolan to continue shopping. Ruolan smiled and said: "Master's business is important, you just have to go and get busy, and the slave and maid can go back by car." ”

Qin Lei held her little hand apologetically, and said softly: "It's hard to come out for a day, and I haven't let you have a good time......

Ruolan shook her head and smiled: "I ate so many good things and bought so many gadgets today, the slave is very happy." ”

Qin Lei looked at her softly, nodded, and beckoned Shen Qi to send her back.

At about ten o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Kang finally came back with the test questions. It was still a yellow envelope, and inside it were a few thin pieces of paper: most of them were test questions, and one was a letter of guarantee signed by Wanlilou, the owner of Wanlilou.

Looking at the bright red 'Lou Wanli Private Seal' on the book, Qin Lei's eyebrows were twisted into a concave shape, and he could feel his heartbeat suddenly accelerate...... Although he hadn't gotten the test questions from Emperor Zhaowu yet, he was almost sure that this was the real question.

"Enter the palace!" Qin Lei Huoran got up and shouted in a deep voice. Emperor Zhaowu gave him a waist card for walking in the inner palace, and he could enter and exit freely before the palace gate closed every day, without notification.

In less than half an hour, he met Emperor Zhaowu in the imperial study.

Since the morning of the sixth day of February, Wen Yanbo said that he was sick at home, and he actually returned all the government to Emperor Zhaowu. After a short period of excitement, Emperor Zhaowu fell into an endless number of recitals and discussions, and it is said that he once set a record of not leaving the imperial study for three consecutive days and nights. If it weren't for the old guy who has been looking forward to this day for more than ten years, I'm afraid he would have been tired and lying down.

Rao is like this, when Qin Lei saw him, he was still startled by Emperor Zhaowu's haggard appearance, and hurriedly bowed his head and cried: "Father, you have to take care...... We can't play with our lives like this......" As a senior actor who survived the card, crying when he said it was just pediatrics.

Emperor Zhaowu looked at Qin Lei a little sluggishly, and only after a while did he react and said: "What are you mourning, I am not dead yet......" said and threw the music in his hand, and sighed: "But what you said is also reasonable, there are too many things in this country, and I can't finish it even if I take this old life." ”

Qin Lei wiped his tears with his sleeve and said in a trembling voice: "My father should be strategically located and think about some major national policies, how can he be bound by these trivial matters?" ”

Emperor Zhaowu was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded and said, "You are right, it seems that the matter is imminent." ”

Qin Lei nodded and said, "The time is just right. ”

Emperor Zhaowu also nodded and smiled: "Don't leave tonight, accompany me to finish reading these recitals, let's discuss it again...... Cabinet. "Emperor Zhaowu is still a little unfamiliar with this new term.

Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "The son obeys the order, but please ask my father to take a look at this first." While taking out the envelope from his bosom, he explained, "This is what Erchen bought from outside today, and it is said that everyone in the capital has already got a copy. ”

Zhuo Yan stepped forward to take the envelope and handed it to Emperor Zhaowu, who took out the letter paper and smiled lightly: "What is so mysterious?" He glanced at the paper, and he froze.

I saw that it read: "In the title of the Three Ways and Four Books: the Analects are two sentences of 'fear of the words of the great', the mean is the two sentences of 'the gentleman is not so', and Mencius is the two sentences of 'to look at the master to the farthest'. The title of the poem is 'The First Hidden Leaves of a Thousand Forests'. This is exactly the question he personally gave for the third session of the exam.

Emperor Zhaowu's face suddenly turned pale, and he trembled and looked at the other two exam questions, only to see that the five historical theories in the first field and the five strategies in the second field were exactly the same as those he had made the day before, and even the order of each question remained unchanged.

Emperor Zhaowu's narrow eyes narrowed into a thin line, but they flashed with a terrifying cold light, and both Qin Lei and Zhuo Yan knew that this was a precursor to his rage.

Sure enough, after reading Lou Wanli's letter of guarantee, Emperor Zhaowu slapped these pages of letter paper on the imperial case, and shocked the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and seal on the case. Emperor Zhaowu was particularly unrelieved of his hatred, and stretched out his hands to overturn the imperial case made of thousand-year-old golden silk wood.

Qin Lei said in his heart: 'Look at what you can ......'

Sure enough, even if Emperor Zhaowu suffocated his neck, he couldn't turn this table that weighed more than a thousand catties. His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but roar angrily: "Don't you come over to help? ”

Qin Lei and Zhuo Yan were dumbfounded, and shouted wildly in their hearts: "No...... We'll help you figure out what's going on? ’

Fortunately, there was a knowledgeable eunuch in the imperial study on the side who kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the four legs of this imperial case are rooted in the ground, and no matter how many people can't push it." ”

"Then see these four legs!!" I only heard His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor say angrily.
