In Zhongdu, after more than half a month of civil and military examinations, the streets and alleys gradually quieted down, but most of the scholars of the Tang Dynasty did not go back, and war broke out in their hometowns, so that tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty scholars could only continue to stay in the central capital, paying attention to the progress of the war every day.

The millions of people in Zhongdu are like a group of late students, they finally found that the war in the world has already broken out, for a while, the city of Zhongdu is lively again, everywhere is talking about the Zhou army's war in various places, almost every restaurant can see such drinkers, they talk loudly, spit everywhere, without blushing to describe the detailed process of the war in various places, as if they had been to the battlefield, or participated in the formulation of the battle plan.

But these talkers were not offensive, everyone listened to them with relish, and even invited them to drink, these talkers also knew the hearts of the listeners, and they recounted how the Zhou army won a great victory, how the Tang army was defeated, and how the battlefield was ambushed for hundreds of miles, and the blood flowed like a river, so that the drinkers listened to the blood and kept applauding loudly.

At noon on this day, a wine shop close to Taixue was very lively, dozens of wine customers were also talking fiercely about the battle that took place in Bingzhou, unlike other wine shops, this wine shop did not describe the massacre of the Tang army one-sidedly, but was closer to the truth, the reason is that there were a group of Tang Dynasty scholars sitting in the wine shop, of course, they did not want to hear the gossip about how the Tang army was slaughtered, and the Tang army would more or less have their relatives.

There were several Tang Dynasty scholars sitting in front of a wine table by the window, and the drinkers next to them were unscrupulously laughing at Tang Jun so that they couldn't listen to it anymore, and one of them slapped the table and asked loudly: "Brother Wang, didn't your father just write you a letter?" What about Taiyuan intelligence? ”

This sentence was very loud, and the surrounding drinkers were suddenly silent, many people pricked up their ears, and the scholar surnamed Wang smiled bitterly and said: "My father said that the two armies were not fighting at all, they were scolding each other, General Qu Tu scolded General Wei Chi for being a useless dog thief, and in turn, General Wei Chi scolded General Qu Tu for being a turtle with a shrunken head, anyway, it was quite lively, and General Qu Tu deliberately let people out of the city to lure the Zhou army to attack the city, but General Wei Chi just ignored it. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and an old man coughed and asked in disbelief, "Young man, are you talking nonsense?" ”

A Tang Dynasty scholar stood up suddenly, pointed to the scholar surnamed Wang, and said loudly: "The father is the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, and the uncle is the Taiyuan Juncheng, can he talk nonsense?" Only you don't know anything here, just talk nonsense, the soldiers of the Tang Army are not invading Turks, Han people like everyone, how can the Zhou army carry out a massacre, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight are the royal way. ”

All the drinkers were embarrassed to brag anymore, and then a middle-aged drinker cleared his throat and said: "To be honest, General Qu Tu is still good, he is a rare famous general in the Tang Army, I think Taiyuan will not be able to beat for a while, I won't talk about Taiyuan, let's talk about Bashu!" I am a native of Meishan County, and to be honest, as long as the Zhou army breaks through the Three Gorges Road, Bashu will not be able to hold it at all. ”

Everyone asked, "What is the truth of this, tell everyone." ”

"Good! I'll give you this dragon gate array. ”

At this time, a young man walked quickly in front of several Tang soldiers, and said to the scholars surnamed Wang: "My master asks Wang Gongzi to come over and talk about it." ”

The young man pointed back, and the scholars saw it, it was also their row by the window, there were two drinkers sitting in the corner, and there were several majestic attendants standing aside, although there were only three attendants, but their powerful force aura could cover the entire restaurant, just from the perspective of these one-in-a-thousand entourage, their master was not an ordinary person.

The scholar surnamed Wang hesitated, he was relatively low-key, but his identity was exposed by his companions, of course he didn't want to go, but others politely came to invite, he didn't want to offend people, so he had to say to a few companions: "You drink slowly, I'll come when I go." ”

He got up and walked to a table in the corner, where several of his companions looked at him for fear that something would happen to him.

"In Xia Taiyuan Wang Jun, may I ask the two gentlemen what to say?" The scholar saluted respectfully.

There were two people sitting opposite the banquet, one was a scholar in his early thirties, with an amiable smile and quite elegant, and the other was a man with a full beard, tall and straight, and he would not be too old, but a pair of eyes were sharper than a knife, he glanced at the scholar and asked, "Taiyuan Wang Meigong is Ling Zun?" ”

The head of the Taiyuan Wang family is called Wang Shou, who calls himself Mei Gong, and everyone respectfully calls him Wang Mei Gong, and the scholar nodded hurriedly, "It is the father." ”

"Wang Meigong's youngest son is here to participate in the imperial examination, but I remember that his name is not Wang Jun."

The bearded man glanced at Wang Jun, Wang Jun felt that he had seen everything through, he blushed and said, "Wang Jun is just a pseudonym for the junior, and the junior is called Wang Junya." ”

"That's pretty much it, please take a seat!"

The bearded man asked him to sit down, and at this time, the scholar next to him poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I just heard about the Taiyuan war, and the situation of the son is quite in line with reality, but we don't understand it a little, since Taiyuan is besieged, how could the son receive a letter from his father?" ”

"The student also said just now that General Qu Tu let a group of people out of the city, including the family members sent by my father, who actually sent a letter to tell me about the battle situation in Taiyuan, and my father only reported safety in the letter, so that I could study in Zhongdu with peace of mind."

"I see, is Childe still used to studying in Taixue?" The bearded man asked with a faint smile.

Wang Junya can see from the seat that this bearded man is a high-ranking person, generally speaking, the two sit together, the high-status is the north, if it is the east-west direction, then the high-status person sits in the east, and the bearded man does not pour wine, they are all scholars, and more importantly, the three attendants are standing behind him.

Wang Junya felt the condescending oppression of the bearded man from his bearing, he didn't know the identity of this person, he was a little sweaty on his forehead, but he still said respectfully: "The student has a very fulfilling life in Taixue, thank you for your concern." ”

The bearded man nodded, "You were almost admitted to the imperial examination this time, I have read your test papers, the poems are well written, but the strategy is a little shallow, Jing Cheng ranks first in Taihang Jiucheng is not only because of Taiyuan County, but also from the historical analysis, work hard!" Strive to be admitted to the Jinshi next year. ”

Wang Junya was shocked and stammered, "Who is Mr." ”

The bearded man smiled, "You don't care who I am, just remember my words, read more history, go to the field more, and the unity of practice and knowledge can eventually become a great tool, go!" ”

Wang Junya bowed deeply, "Thank you, Mr. for teaching, and the students will remember it in their hearts." ”

He returned to his seat in a daze, and the scholar whispered: "Your Majesty has talked too much, I'm afraid it will be recognized, let's leave first!" ”

This bearded man is naturally Zhang Xuan, the son of heaven of the Great Zhou Empire, he paid a private visit to Weifu today, and specially came to the people with Fang Xuanling, and happened to meet a group of Tang Dynasty scholars, Zhang Xuan also knew that he had just said too much, so he smiled and said: "Okay! Let's leave first. ”

He got up and left the restaurant with a few guards, Fang Xuanling paid for the wine, and then hurried away with Zhang Xuan.

At this time, several Tang Dynasty scholars were asking Wang Junya, who were those two just now? Wang Junya shook her head blankly, "I don't know either, that bearded man actually read my imperial examination papers, and the chief examiner is Li Xiangguo!" What does he have to do with the examiner? ”

Several scholars felt incredible, and at this moment, the drinker from Meishan County next to him suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "I remember, wasn't that scholar just now the military advisor Fang Xuanling?" I'll just say where I've seen it before. ”

The drinkers were in an uproar, Fang Xuanling actually ran to the restaurant, who was the bearded man next to him?

Wang Junya's face suddenly turned pale, sat down dejectedly, and muttered, "I.... I know who he is. ”

"Who is it?" Several companions surrounded him and asked.

Wang Junya suddenly slapped herself a few times, and said with a crying voice: "That's the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire!" I..... I'm so stupid. ”

"Ahh Everyone was stunned. (To be continued.) )
