Renzong couldn't distinguish joy and anger on his face, but he doubled the list of provincial test winners in his hand. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Ouyang Xiu held back his stomach full of explanations, but the emperor didn't ask, and he could only hold back.

Renzong glanced at Ouyang Xiu, saw him standing there with his head down, his eyes moved to this list again, and looked at it again before he slowly spoke: "I heard that when you released your words this time, all those who write Taixue style will be deposed, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Exactly." Ouyang Xiu wanted to say in one go, what he had been brewing in his heart for a long time, about the one, two, three benefits of the revival of ancient literature to the atmosphere of the literary world and the politics of the imperial court. Who knew that Renzong spoke again. When the courtiers were talking, they interrupted the emperor's words, and they dared to give direct advice. To interrupt the emperor in such a situation would be to find himself uncomfortable. What's more, although Ouyang Xiu made an early decision to depose the Taixue body in this imperial examination, he did not regret it, but he still had a trace of apprehension.

"I also heard that Ouyang Hanlin was in the ...... back then," Renzong frowned and thought about it before he thought of the answer, "...... In the imperial examination during the Tiansheng year, it can be described as brilliant, but the examiners were worried that you were young and vigorous, so they never put you into the top three, but is there such a thing? ”

Ouyang Xiu didn't understand what Renzong's intention was when he talked about this old thing, he was young and proud back then, and he was naturally a little unwilling to fail to become a Sanding Jia, but all the way down the sea of eunuchs, Ouyang Xiu didn't care about these for a long time. He pondered the wording and replied: "There is no such thing, Yan Xiang was just to be a scholar back then, and the minister was only a shallow scholar back then, and it was just a fluke that he was able to be promoted." ”

Renzong laughed meaninglessly, "I think you are still unwilling, otherwise how could this list be full of young talents?" ”

Ouyang Xiu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly apologized and defended: "The minister is absolutely selfless,......" Halfway through speaking, he remembered that he had deposed all the scholars who wrote Taixue style in the policy treatise this time, although he himself thought that this move was upright and upright, in order to shock the style of writing, but he himself knew that in the eyes of many people, this was definitely a manifestation of selfishness. For a while, it was there. In his heart, he was ready to make a direct admonition and be transferred out of Beijing.

However, Emperor Renzong did not continue to speak, but picked up the top few of the top ten papers in the provincial examination. chuckled: "Gu Yuzhi is Huiyuan? The article poetry is also worth it. He glanced at Ouyang Xiu again, "That's it, there are still Jinshi after the provincial test." That's it, but in the future, you don't want to be the chief examiner anymore...... No, don't even think about it, deputy examiner. ”

Ouyang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, although he was not very nostalgic for his official position, but if he was relegated to those barren places in the south, he would have to lose half of his life, and it would be better to be able to stay in the capital. It is also expected that he should not be the examiner of the imperial examination.

Renzong gave a slight signal to the eunuch standing on the side, and planned to send Ouyang Xiu away, and then Ouyang Xiu took a few steps, and Renzong said again: "You don't have to enter the palace after you release the list, concentrate on dealing with those scholars who have fallen off the list!" ”

Ouyang Xiu turned around and said righteously, "Your Majesty! The minister's imperial examination this time, there is no disobedience, even if the scholars are dissatisfied, what is the minister afraid of! ”

Renzong stared at Ouyang Xiu for a while, and waved his hand, "Ren Qing can do it for himself!" ”

"Today's list, is it not in a hurry at all?" Xu Gu asked with a fake face and a smile.

"The list must be crowded, and besides, someone will naturally come to report the news, so why bother?" Gu Yan smiled while casually practicing words on the paper.

Gu Yan's words were obviously very much in line with Xu Gu's appetite, and he laughed and said, "It's really elegant to meet him!" ”

Gu Yan saw that although he was laughing loudly, the human skin mask on his face was still a standard smile, and he didn't feel a little funny, "When I came back from my provincial trial, it seemed that you had said something similar. ”

"Really?" Xu Gu didn't care.

Speaking of this, Gu Yan remembered something in his heart, put down his pen, and asked, "Did Wen Jian find some eyebrows for what he said last time?" ”

Xu Gu's voice also became serious, "This thing is indeed quite strange...... The scholar who framed you in the imperial examination field is not usually a bad person. I think there are other people in it. ”

"I wondered if the imperial examination was related to the murder I encountered in Changzhou at the time. A few days ago, he revised the book to mention the sentence to Wang, hoping to get some clues about the murder case in Changzhou at that time...... However, at that time, Wang Tixing was being transferred, and his knowledge was limited......" Gu Yan picked up a letter from the table and handed it over.

Xu Gu glanced at it roughly, and then said with a smile: "At that time, it was verified that the person claimed to be a merchant, and he didn't know where he came from, from Yangzhou to Changzhou?" I want to go to Fujian Road...... If you are not a maritime businessman, what will you do on Fujian Road? If it is a maritime business...... How can the identity be a mystery? ”

Gu Yan had already thought about the points Xu Gu said, and he only felt that this matter was becoming more and more confusing.

"Could it be that this was sent to you by the beauties of the Wang Ti Torture family?" Xu Gu said with a smile.

Gu Yan looked down and saw that when he had just received the letter, he unintentionally brought out a piece of red note sent by Wang Shun'er. Gu Yan was a little embarrassed, and felt that Xu Gu's words were a little frivolous, so he didn't answer, but just put away the red note.

Xu Gu said with a smile: "Speaking of which, if you meet high school, young and handsome, and have never decided to marry, there are not a few people who want to come to the list to catch a son-in-law." ”

"Let's talk about these things later......" Gu Yan shirked, thinking of marrying a woman he didn't know and spending his life, Gu Yan still felt a little disgusted in his heart, and he didn't want to mention this topic.

Xu Gu smiled, sighed, and said, "Wang Tixing's daughter may not be suitable for you......"

Wang Shun'er is still young, even if it is herself, the age of this body is not too big, how can she be suitable or not? Gu Yan thought so, and wanted to laugh, but somehow his heart felt a little heavy.

Xu Gu saw that Gu Yan was silent, but he didn't object to him continuing, so he said. "Weng and his son-in-law cannot be the ruler at the same time, and Yan Xiang and today's rich man were also criticized at the beginning, and Qingli was four years old...... Besides......"

Halfway through the conversation, I heard a noise of gongs and drums outside, and Xu Gu couldn't hear the words clearly.

It is said that 'Aiqing' was the name of ** woman in the Song Dynasty...... When I think about it, I suddenly feel very funny.
