Chapter 111: A Masterpiece for the Occasion (Part II)

The emperor personally awarded the champion, which was indeed extremely glorious at the beginning, but now, it has become a thorn in Wang Yuanhui's heart! He was indeed born under the Shoufu sect back then, and the emperor enlisted him to make an exception to personally award the champion, and he finally chose to be the son-in-law of the King of Jin on both sides, so he was secretly hung up with the title of 'three family slaves'.

Although almost everyone knows about it over the years, everyone has been avoiding this matter, and no one has mentioned it in front of him. Now listening to Fu Mingzheng's face-to-face words, although his face has no different color, his heart is like a fish in his throat, and he is very uncomfortable. Similarly, he was once again surprised at the weight of Wei Qiao in Fu Mingzheng's heart. He just secretly belittled Wei Qiao a few words, and Fu Mingzheng responded so sharply?!

"Is it really someone that the teacher likes?"

Wang Yuanhui felt uncomfortable thinking of this, after all, he was Fu Li's only proud protΓ©gΓ©. Thinking about Jinling's recent fame, he faintly felt that someone was deliberately fueling the troubles, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, because he was the only champion personally awarded by the current emperor for twenty years, and he didn't want to see the second one!

His eyes flashed coldly, Wang Yuanhui smiled faintly, and said lukewarmly: "Brother Fu remembers it clearly." ”

The relationship between the two can be said to be a bit complicated, Fu Mingzheng calls him Lord Wang, and he calls Fu Mingzheng Brother Fu, not Senior Brother!

Shi Yanqiu, the servant of the ministry, was promoted by the emperor and was close to Fu Mingzheng; Yang Zongtian was born in the army, Fu Mingzheng used to be a Confucian commander in the army; Lin Fengzheng, the imperial historian of the Imperial History Terrace, was recommended by Fu Mingzheng.

Wei Qiao naturally didn't understand the complicated relationship between these people, and sat there indifferently, his eyes like electricity.

Fu Mingzheng's laughter always makes people feel like a spring breeze, and his heart is relaxed, he turned his head to look at Wei Qiao and said with a smile: "Liyuan, Yiyun, you have seen it, walk around more when you are fine." ”

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently: "Yes." ”

Several people looked puzzled again, how could this sentence have the meaning of recruiting talents?

Wang Yuanhui frowned slightly, his eyes swept lightly on Wei Qiao, and suddenly smiled thoughtfully, and said, "Brother Fu, Wei Gongzi has a few demeanors from when you were young." ”

Fu Mingzheng smiled lightly, and looked at a few people who were also a little abrupt: "When I was young, I might as well stand far away." ”

This sentence shocked everyone's hearts again, and they looked at Wei Qiao with flickering eyes. I always feel that Fu Mingzheng has something to say, which seems to be understood, but it is separated by a layer of window paper, and I can't see it thoroughly.

Wei Qiao sat there with an immobile expression, nodding in response to the goodwill and doubtful glances cast by several people, and nodding slightly respectfully at Wang Yuanhui's arrogant gaze.

No matter what is in his heart, his posture must be in place.

Wang Yuan saw Wei Qiao's cautious and respectful appearance, the corners of his mouth turned slightly upturned and smiled, and he turned his head to Fu Mingzheng and said: "Brother Fu doesn't have to be modest, if it wasn't for the teacher to stop me, it is estimated that the champion of the year would not be my turn." ”

Fu Ming's face was indifferent, and he said with a smile: "Lord Wang doesn't have to be modest, it is my own idea to go on the expedition with the army, and it has nothing to do with my father." Okay, today I said that I will only talk about Fengyue, then, who will come first? ”

As soon as Fu Mingzheng's words fell, Yang Zongtian looked at Fu Mingzheng, "Ah, that, Fu Shuai, I have something to ......"

Fu Mingzheng didn't wait for him to finish, and waved his hand, "Okay, you go first." ”

When Yang Zongtian saw it, he immediately got up: "Thank you Fu Shuai." Then he hugged his fists at a few people and walked out quickly.

There are all high-ranking officials here, so naturally they can't fall behind Wei Qiao's white clothes, Wei Qiao watched Yang Zongtian walk out of the door, then stood up, hugged his fists at Fu Mingzheng and said: "Students come first, throw bricks and jade for all the adults." ”

Fu Mingzheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You sit down first, and follow a few adults to study hard." ”

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, a little unclear, but still bowed down and said, "Yes." So saying, he sat back down.

With the steps down, the remaining few people laughed, here about the distance between relatives and relatives, and finally the imperial historian Lin Fengzheng stood up, looking at the lively crowd of people outside the window, suddenly turned around, in front of the table that the maid had prepared behind him, picked up the pen, and suddenly fell.

The jade leaks the copper kettle and does not urge, and the iron lock is open all night; Whoever sees the moon can sit idle, and where they don't see the lights.

Shi Yanqiu walked over, and as soon as Lin Fengzheng put down the pen, he read it out.

Shi Yanqiu read it again, and said with a smile, "Lord Lin is worthy of being a talented man who once moved Jinling, and this poem shows his skills." ”

Fu Mingzheng's expression did not move, nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Lord Lin's poems and essays can indeed be called everyone." ”

As soon as Lin Fengzheng heard Fu Mingzheng speak, his face was suddenly full of glory, but he still couldn't help waving his hand, and he didn't dare to say that he didn't dare.

Wang Yuanhui sat there still, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and did not open his mouth to comment.

It was Shi Yanqiu's turn, he looked out the window at a pair of men and women parting lightly under the lamp, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Since Lord Lin and Meiyu are in front, then Shi will also be ugly." ”

came and did not be rude, Lin Fengzheng immediately smiled and said: "Lord Shi once won the top three, how can it be ugly, it is Lin who threw bricks and stones." ”

Shi Yanqiu smiled faintly, agreed to hold his breath and concentrate, picked up the pen, and sketched.

Hundreds of fire trees are golden, and BMW is endless.

Feiqiong came to try the light together, and endured to say goodbye to Tan Lang.

Similarly, as soon as Shi Yanqiu put down his pen, Lin Fengzheng read it out loud, and then said with a smile: "Lord Shi's poem is eye-catching, and it suddenly goes back to twenty years ago." ”

Shi Yanqiu smiled reservedly, but looked at Fu Mingzheng after putting down his pen.

Fu Mingzheng glanced at Wei Qiao, whose eyes were still indifferent, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Master Shi is not old-hearted, this poem is very good." Ignoring Shi Yanqiu, who was full of excitement and humble, Fu Mingzheng's eyes turned to Wang Yuanhui and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, Fu Mou's poetry is not good, how about you come to the finale, let Liyuan come first?" ”

Wang Yuanhui smiled faintly, but glanced at Wei Qiao faintly, although he didn't quite understand what Fu Mingzheng meant, he still smiled and nodded: "It's okay, let me also see what kind of poems the first genius of Jinling will write." ”

Fu Mingzheng smiled and nodded, but there was a little more meaning in his smile that Wang Yuanhui couldn't understand, and turned his head to look at Wei Qiao and said, "Liyuan, come on, write three songs, there is no limit to more." ”

Wei Qiao frowned slightly, and his heart turned, Fu Mingzheng's words were always a little wrong.

Wang Yuanhui listened to Fu Mingzheng's words, and suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart, but when he saw that Wei Qiao seemed to be hesitating, he pressed it down again, and said with a light smile: "Wei Gongzi doesn't have to be nervous, I'll just talk about some Fengyue, it won't be spread outside, and it won't affect your big competition results, just let it go." ”

He obviously thought that Wei Qiao was stumped by the three songs, and he was worried that he would make a fool of himself and affect the results of the Jinshi University Examination. On the surface, he looked concerned, but it was Fu Mingzheng, who was targeted by the needle.

Wei Qiao glanced at Fu Mingzheng, who had always been seated, stood up and hugged his fists at a few people and said, "That student is ugly." ”

Fu Mingzheng nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Well, I have a good copy of the name card I gave you, and Dabi went to lie in Fu's mansion before, and my father wants to see you." ”

Wei Qiao was stunned again, his thinking was extremely developed, but he still couldn't capture what Fu Mingzheng was thinking in his heart.

Wei Qiaosuo stopped thinking about it, walked to the table, lifted the pen, and frowned slightly. The poems he remembers are all thousand-year-old essences, if he really wants to write three poems, it is estimated that Wang Yuanhui will not need the finale later?

Well? Thinking of this, Wei Qiao's heart suddenly moved, thinking of the complex relationship between the emperor, King Jin, Shoufu, and Lao Shuai that Han Yuan described to him, and he faintly grasped Fu Mingzheng's true thoughts.

"Don't hide it." Wei Qiao was just about to start writing, Fu Mingzheng said with a smile again.

When Wei Qiao heard this, he immediately affirmed in his heart. But he didn't think much about it, and the tip of the pen fell heavily on the white paper.

Lin Fengzheng and Shi Yanqiu immediately walked over one left and one right, and their eyes fell on Wei Qiao's pen.

Last year, on a round night, the flower market was lit up like day.

The moon arrives at the head of the willow tops, and people are about after dusk.

This year, when the moon is full, the flowers and lanterns are still the same.

I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt.

Shi Yanqiu and Lin Fengzheng finished reading, and the two glanced at each other, and they did not say anything with a tacit understanding.

There are lights without a moon and no entertainment, and a month without lights is not spring.

When spring arrives, people in the world are like jade, and the lamp burns the moon and the moon is like silver.

The street is full of pearls and green village girls, and the god of the Shengge Race Society is boiling.

If you don't show Fangzun to laugh, how can you get this good day.

Shi Yanqiu and the two glanced at each other again, frowning slightly, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain.

BMW carved cars are full of incense, Feng Xiao moves, jade pots turn brightly, and fish and dragons dance all night.

The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance.

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim.

Shi Yanqiu and the two of them trembled, and they both looked down at the ink on the paper that had not dried, and did not speak.

Wei Qiao put down his pen and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Hehe, that's good." I don't know when, Fu Mingzheng and Wang Yuanhui have already walked over. Fu Mingzheng patted Wei Qiao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Wei Qiao hurriedly turned around, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Fu Mingzheng was smiling, and Wang Yuanhui's face was shocked, and his eyes were hard to fire. At this moment, he was already sure in his heart that Wei Qiao was the disciple newly cultivated by Fu Lixin, who was used to replace him, and it was entirely possible to become the champion personally awarded by the second emperor!

This is something he would never allow!

"No, absolutely not!" Wang Yuanhui's face was cold, and he roared angrily in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Fu Mingzheng with a pale face, his eyes undisguised resentment. He now understands what Fu Mingzheng meant, he already knew Wei Qiao's talent, maybe he was prepared before, and he came to slap him in the face today!

"Good! Very good! Well played! Loud, simply, I can't change my hand! Fu Mingzheng, Fu family, it's really good! Wang Yuanhui gritted his teeth, his face twitched even more fiercely, he tried his best to suppress the undulating chest, and he held back the monstrous anger in his heart, almost roaring in his heart word by word.

Shi Yanqiu and Lin Fengzheng stood aside with their heads bowed, faintly feeling trembling, and there was a trace of fear in their eyes.

How could they not understand the meaning of this scene, it was completely used to slap Wang Yuanhui's face, and even, it was still through Wang Yuanhui's face!

They are not enough to see, so they can only hide aside.

Fu Mingzheng looked at it with a smile, and always put one hand on Wei Qiao's shoulder.

Although Wei Qiao had already thought of Fu Mingzheng's intentions just now, he still did it. Because he vaguely guessed that what Fu Mingzheng represented today may not only be the Fu family, but also the meaning of the palace, otherwise, even if Wang Yuanhui is a traitor to the Fu family, it is not suitable to use him to publicly slap him in the face at this time, after all, Wang Yuanhui is the son-in-law of King Jin, and Wei Qiao can be said to be the emperor's person. offended the two families at once, Fu Mingzheng was not so stupid.

Wei Qiao has long been on the thief ship, from the gilded name of the adults, to the royal gold medal, the emperor's marriage promise, the road guide, the iron plate in the army, and all kinds of secret help, it can be said that the boss has advanced enough benefits for him, if he doesn't help again, it is really a little unreasonable.

Besides, Fu Mingzheng also gave him enough benefits today, with those few words, even if someone wants to move him or the Wei family, they must first consider bearing the anger of the Fu family.

Therefore, he followed the steps arranged by Fu Mingzheng. Perhaps, he may have done better than Fu Mingzheng imagined.

"Master Fu, Wang has something to do, so I'll leave first!"

Wang Yuanhui hugged Fu Mingzheng with a gloomy face, his eyes were cold, cold and resentful, and he turned around and left.

Now that he has torn his face, there is no need for Wang Yuanhui to be perfunctory and hypocritical, flick his sleeves, turn around and leave.

"Fu Mingzheng, Wei Liyuan! Today's shame, I want you to repay it a hundredfold! The moment Wang Yuanhui stepped out of the door, his heart was furious, and his eyes were blood-red and shining.

Fu Mingzheng always had an indifferent smile on his face from beginning to end, as if he hadn't seen Wang Yuanhui's hateful eyes at all. Seeing Wang Yuanhui walk out of the door angrily, he turned his head to look at Wei Qiao and said with a smile: "How about it, how do you feel about offending a six-part squire, Shoufu's former proud protΓ©gΓ©, the only royal champion for twenty years, and now the son-in-law of King Jin?" ”

Shi Yanqiu and Lin Feng lowered their heads and quietly took a few steps back. The two of them are naturally very discerning, and at this time, they can only try to be as transparent as possible.

Wei Qiao didn't feel anything in his heart, anyway, there was a tall man in front of him, but he still smiled bitterly on his face: "Master Fu, this time the student was miserable by you." ”

Naturally, no one dares to say such things to Fu Mingzheng, but now on this occasion, Fu Mingzheng laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are still not satisfied, the whole Daqi, you see, there is one who can make Wang Yuanhui run away, and tomorrow, your name will definitely spread all over Jinling." ”

Looking at Fu Mingzheng's seemingly hearty laughter, the bitterness on Wei Qiao's face became even more: "Master Fu, the student is worried that he will be killed and thrown into Mochou Lake tonight, and it is estimated that no one will know about it for a year or two." ”

Fu Mingzheng's laughter was even louder, he turned around and walked to his seat, Wei Qiao naturally had to follow, Fu Mingzheng sat down and turned around, his smile was slightly restrained, he looked at Wei Qiao and said: "You probably don't know the role of that gold medal, he is a life-saving talisman, the entire Great Qi, except for the emperor, no one dares to touch you." ”

Wei Qiao was stunned, he really didn't know that the gold medal had this effect, and he vaguely understood why the Buddha made such a big fuss, and few people really found trouble for themselves.

But even so, Wei Qiao still smiled bitterly and said, "Master Fu, even if there is no danger of life, the students will have a difficult time in the future." ”

Fu Mingzheng pointed at Wei Qiao and smiled, but he still smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, what do you want, for the sake of Yunya's recent sensibility and good performance, I will consider it not too much." ”

Wei Qiao had been waiting for him for a long time, took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I heard that there is a big gap in cotton clothes for the garrison outside the customs this year?" ”

Fu Mingzheng turned his head to look at Wei Qiao, with a faint playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wei Qiao sniffed and stood there with his head bowed.

Naturally, there is a gap in the cotton clothes of the garrisons outside the Guan, but it is naturally nonsense to say that it is bigger. The cotton clothes of the garrison outside the customs are changed every three years, and this year is the first and the third year, Wei Qiao's calculation is that as long as the Wei family can make up for the gap for the garrison outside the customs, then it is equivalent to opening a door for the Wei family to become a supplier of cotton clothes for the garrison outside the customs next year.

However, Fu Mingzheng obviously saw the abacus in his heart at a glance, his eyes flashed with a smile, and then he looked at Lin Fengzheng and Shi Yanqiu, who had retreated to the side, lowered his head and thought for a while, looked up at Wei Qiao and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll ask you, and strive to change the cotton clothes next year for your Wei family." ”

When Wei Qiao heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

'Fighting' is naturally not used, and this sentence is basically an internal decision.

Fu Mingzheng shook his head and smiled, and said: "You still don't care about these things, and focus on the big exam, the Huns outside the gate are ready to move, and a good man can't keep an eye on that little place in his house." ”

Wei Qiao smiled lightly, did not refute, and said with a smile: "The student wrote it down." ”

Fu Mingzheng nodded and was about to speak, when he suddenly turned his head to look downstairs, only to see that the Yonghe Bridge was crowded with people, and the red-hot flower boat was slowly leaning towards the arch in the river, and all kinds of cheers came and went, extremely high-pitched.

Fu Mingzheng's face flashed with a smile, and he turned his head to Wei Qiao and smiled, "Okay, today is the queen's birthday, and I want to enter the palace now, so I won't accompany you." ”

Wei Qiao immediately bowed down and said, "The student is leaving." ”

Fu Mingzheng nodded, and Wei Qiao turned around and retreated.

It is also interesting to say that Fu Mingzheng's younger brother is Wei Qiao's apprentice, and Wei Qiao calls himself a student to Fu Yang's brother.

Wei Qiao walked to the door indifferently, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face around the corner.

"Make a fortune." Wei Qiao walked downstairs, clenched his fists, and couldn't help but roar excitedly.

Fu Mingzheng watched Wei Qiao walk out of the door, his eyes were leisurely, and he laughed in a low voice: "Yes, it is indeed much stronger than when I was young." ”

Shi Yanqiu and Lin Fengzheng watched Wei Qiao walk out of the door, glanced at each other, and walked towards Fu Mingzheng.

Fu Mingzheng glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "Don't you understand?" ”

Although Lin Fengzheng is a doctor of the imperial history and nominally Fu Mingzheng's superior, he still nodded respectfully, with doubts on his face.

Shi Yanqiu was promoted by the emperor, but Fu Mingzheng's position did not fully represent the Fu family, and more often, he was closer to the emperor, so he also nodded.

Fu Mingzheng smiled faintly and said, "What do you think of Wang Yuan's status in the Jin King Party?" ”

Lin Fengzheng frowned slightly, thought about it and said, "King Jin did not hesitate to use his favorite county lord to win over Wang Yuanhui, obviously intending to cultivate him. At this time, even if he is not the core figure, it is estimated that he will be close. ”

Shi Yanqiu was not surprised by these battles, and nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Wang Yuanhui is enough to schem, the only thing he lacks is training, there are three or five years, and it is not a problem to enter the cabinet." ”

After the two finished speaking, they looked up at Fu Mingzheng, still a little bit unintelligible.

Fu Mingzheng nodded with a smile and said, "You probably don't know that the emperor gave a gold medal to Liyuan, and this gold medal, there are only two in the entire Great Qi, which was handed down from the founding time of Taizu." ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces changed, there were only two pieces, which were handed down by the ancestors, so they were the two pieces of the prince's certificate.

These two gold medals are generally given directly to the crown prince, and if they are given to outsiders, it means that this person will be the closest person to the prince, and he will transfer them to the prince to show that the emperor attaches great importance to this person.

This gold medal may not be very useful, but the significance of the representation is extraordinary!

Shi Yanqiu frowned, and suddenly raised his head and said, "My lord is afraid that the King of Jin will have branches, so today I deliberately asked Wei Liyuan to sweep Wang Yuanhui's face and cut off the thoughts of the King of Jin!" ”

Fu Mingzheng smiled a little more, looked at Shi Yanqiu and nodded: "Yes, after today's events, the Jin King Party has no chance to win over Liyuan." ”

Both of them nodded, the incident did make too many people look bad at the beginning, and that's fine. Wei Qiao has that brand in hand and the support of the Fu family, and Wang Yuanhui wants to trouble him, so he has to weigh it carefully.

What Fu Mingzheng didn't say explicitly was that Wei Qiao was also married by the emperor, but the object was a martial artist who made King Jin extremely jealous. For the time being, only the emperor, him, and the old marshal of the martial arts family know about this matter, but it won't be long before Wang Yuanhui will know about it.

The two were thinking about it, Fu Mingzheng suddenly looked at Lin Fengzheng with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Lord Lin, Wei Gongzi is so talented, you don't plan to win it over, if someone else preempts it, we will regret it." ”

Lin Fengzheng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, after the official goes back, he will arrange it immediately, and he will definitely be ahead of others." ”

In addition to the imperial examination, there is no shortage of various methods for discovering talents, such as recommendation and recommendation. As one of the three divisions, the Imperial Historical Observatory has the right to recruit scholars to serve in the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Fu Mingzheng nodded with a smile, turned around and walked towards the window, and happened to see Wei Qiao going out and walking west, the lanterns over there are couplets, which is the place where talented people and talented women are most concentrated.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Fu Mingzheng's mouth, and he said, "Come on, follow Wei Gongzi, if you have any interesting things later, record them." ”

"Yes." Immediately, a pretty maid came out and bowed softly. Then three or four pretty maidservants went out of the house.

Wei Qiao walked slowly to the west, towards the place where he had made an appointment with the two little girls. But he didn't notice that there were a few more pretty little girls behind him, and he was even more curious about the interesting things waiting for him.
