That's right, that person is Pan Zijun.

When Shi Wei accompanied the army to pacify the Southern Tang Dynasty, he once went to Pan's hometown to meet Pan You, and at that time Pan You refused to go out of the mountain, but said that he would let his son participate in this autumn's scientific expedition and serve the new dynasty.

Pan You really didn't break his promise, and his son arrived in Bianjing on time a month before the scientific expedition.

The brothers and sisters of the Pan family have not seen each other for many years, and now they are reunited again, and the brothers and sisters are crying with joy.

Shi Wei didn't bother them, just stepped aside, and let the two of them talk.

After most of the day, the excited emotions of the Pan family brothers and sisters began to subside.

At this time, Pan Zijun bowed to him and said gratefully: "Brother Shi, you have taken care of your sister in the past two years, and Zijun is here to thank you." ”

Shi Wei hurriedly said: "Brother Pan's words are outside, you and I are friends of life and death, and it is my bounden duty to take care of Shisu, so why do I need to thank you." ”

Pan Zijun smiled happily, and the friendship between them was the same as in the past.

After chatting a few words, Shi Wei asked, "Brother Pan, you are coming to Bianjing this time, you should participate in this autumn's scientific expedition." ”

Pan Zijun sighed: "It's natural at this time, my father has a life, and I have to obey." However, the Great Song Dynasty is full of talents, and it is one thing to come for reference, and it is another thing to be able to be admitted. ”

"Brother Pan, don't worry, I will say to the second prince when I turn around, the list will be released this autumn, and I guarantee that you will be on the list." Shi Wei patted his chest and fought to keep the ticket.

At present, Shi Wei is a meritorious minister, and Zhao Dezhao happens to be one of the superintendents of the imperial examination this autumn, and according to the usual practice, it is not against the system for ministers to recommend candidates in advance, so it is only necessary for Zhao Dezhao to open his mouth, and Pan Zijun is naturally on the list.

"This ...... Relying on Brother Shi's relationship to be on the list, I'm afraid this is a little disgraceful. Pan Zijun hesitated.

Shi Wei said with relief: "It doesn't have to do anything, that's what stupid people do, I know Brother Pan's talent best, I eat the king's luck, and I should recommend talents for the court." ”

Shi Wei first said something high-sounding, and then said with a sly smile: "Besides, I am now in the court, and I also need some people with cronies to help me, if you can make the list, it will also be good for me." ”

Shi Wei did not shy away from it, and bluntly expressed his selfishness.

Pan Zijun immediately understood Shi Wei's intentions.

Now that her sister-in-law is Shi Wei's person, and he and Shi Wei are both old friends and Jiangnan people, it can be said that the fate and interests of the Pan family have been closely linked to Shi Wei.

I heard that Shi Wei wanted him to enter the court as an official and be his right-hand man, but Pan Zijun had no reason to refuse.

After thinking about it for a while, Pan Zijun said happily: "Since Brother Shi has this good intention, then I can only be respectful as my brother." ”

Shi Wei laughed, patted Pan Zijun on the shoulder and said, "That's right, Lilac, go and prepare some wine and food, I want to drink him with Brother Pan tonight." ”

…………………………………… Xufu.

Xu Xian, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was lying on the bed humming and chirping, howling endlessly.

Xiong Qingdai seems to be reckless, but she is still smart in her heart, the previous random beating, it seems to be very scary, but the shot is extremely ingenious, only causing Xu Xian to hurt his flesh and skin, but it did not cause him fatal internal injuries.

Rao is so, but for Xu Xian's age, a meal of flesh and skin is enough for him to bear.

When he was applying the medicine and was in pain, the next person came to report, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Jin had arrived.

Xu Xian was anxious to get up to greet him, and when he was still struggling, Zhao Guangyi had already stepped into the house.

"Your Highness, Your Highness has seen Your Highness—" Xu Xian held his bruised body, wanting to get up and pay respects.

Zhao Guangyi hurriedly took a few steps forward, pressed Xu Xian, and said warmly: "Xu Qing is injured, don't be formal, you can lie down." ”

Xu Xian was moved to lie down and hurriedly called his subordinates to sit down for tea.

Zhao Guangyi sat on the edge of the couch and said, "Just now, your mansion sent someone to say that you were seriously injured by that Shi Wei, what is going on?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Xu Xian was very annoyed, and he chattered about what happened.

After saying that, Xu Xian said indignantly: "Your Highness, that Shi Wei killed my beloved son and insulted him with his fists and feet, which is really vicious, and I ask His Royal Highness to uphold justice for me." ”

Beating a dog depends on the owner, Xu Xian is his Zhao Guangyi's person, Shi Wei dares to beat Xu Xian, it is clear that he does not give Zhao Guangyi face.

On Zhao Guangyi's face, the color of anger was spreading.

It's just that he didn't have a seizure, but asked: "Xu Qing, you answer honestly, are you deliberately hitting that Shi Wei's woman?" ”

"This ......" was seen through by Zhao Guangyi, and Xu Xian became swallowed for a while.

His attitude like this obviously admits that Xu Xian provoked first.

Zhao Guangyi then asked: "Then let me ask you again, you said that Shi Wei killed your son, do you have real evidence?" ”

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, this is what Shi Wei's kid personally admitted." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guangyi suddenly burst out laughing, and there was a bit of irony in his laughter.

Xu Xian's expression became embarrassed, and he couldn't understand why the King of Jin laughed at him for a while.

Zhao Guangyi smiled and snorted coldly: "Shi Wei said those words to you, obviously trying to provoke you to make a move, so as to give him an excuse to fight back." Xu Qing, you are also an old man in the officialdom, you can't even hold this bit of anger, no wonder you will fall for someone else's plan. ”

Xu Xian's face was ashamed, but he gritted his teeth and said: "That's the revenge of killing the son, and the lower officials are really unbearable." ”

Zhao Guangyi's face sank, and he said coldly: "If you become a big thing, what is it to sacrifice a mere son, even if he humiliates your wife and daughter in front of you, if necessary, you have to endure it." ”

Xu Xian didn't expect Zhao Guangyi to say such a thing, and the whole person was shocked.

Xu Xian felt a hint of coldness, the kind of chill that made people feel bone-chilling, it was from the King of Jin in front of him.

The atmosphere in the room immediately cooled down.

Xu Xian bowed his head and was silent, he seemed to think that Zhao Guangyi was not going to give him a head.

After being silent for a moment, Zhao Guangyi's expression said again: "Although this matter is said to be someone else's trick, but you are the king's person, and this dumb loss cannot be eaten in vain." ”

Hearing this, Xu Xian turned his worries into joy, and said excitedly: "So, is Your Highness planning to administer justice for the lower officials?" ”

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly, and said proudly: "It depends on the owner to beat the dog, how can the king swallow his anger if he despises this king so much." ”

Seeing that Zhao Guangyi was willing to stand up for himself, Xu Xian was overjoyed, but when he heard the words "It depends on the owner to beat the dog", he felt a little embarrassed.

……………………………………………… After the next early dynasty, Zhao Guangyi entered the harem to ask to see the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Guangyi is planning to participate in Shi Wei's book.

Even if the fight between Xu Xian and Shi Wei was Xu Xian's first move, Shi Wei beat Xu Xian like that, which was really too defensive.

Moreover, Xu Xian had previously impeached Shi Wei, and Zhao Guangyi believed that by making a fuss from this point, he could refer to Shi Wei for the crime of personal vendettas.

The Son of Heaven announced his entry, and Zhao Guangyi had already calculated the words of participation and happily entered the imperial study.

When he walked in, his expression changed suddenly.

In the imperial study, Shi Wei had already met the Son of Heaven one step ahead of him.

"Your Highness has seen Your Highness." Seeing Zhao Guangyi coming in, Shi Wei hurriedly got up and greeted him respectfully.

Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly, his expression flashed with suspicion, and he had a vague bad premonition in his heart.

When Zhao Guangyi saluted the Son of Heaven, Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Third brother, you came just in time, I still have something to tell you." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak, my brother will listen to you." Zhao Guangyi had to put down the impeachment that came to his lips first.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "When you weren't there, Shi Aiqing had already pleaded guilty to me, saying that during the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival last night, he and Xu Xian had a misunderstanding, and there was some roughness between each other. ”

Zhao Guangyi frowned secretly, thinking about what Shi Wei had in mind, and without waiting for himself to participate, he actually took the initiative to come and confess.

Under suspicion, Zhao Guangyi hurriedly said: "The younger brother has heard about this matter, and the younger brother is actually here for this matter." ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said with a smile: "Shi Aiqing has explained to me what happened, and he felt deeply guilty for injuring Xu Xuan, so he asked to deduct his three months' salary as a medicine for Xu Xuan's healing. I thought that this matter was a misunderstanding, and Shi Aiqing took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility, so this matter should be handled according to his request, I don't know what you think, third brother. ”

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Zhao Guangyi suddenly realized.

It turned out that Shi Wei had already guessed that he, Zhao Guangyi, would stand up for Xu Xian, so he rushed into the palace first, described the whole thing as a misunderstanding, and "pretended" to take responsibility generously and was willing to compensate.

In this way, the Son of Heaven was preconceived, not only believing that this matter was a misunderstanding, but also rewarding Shi Wei for his courage and responsibility.

If the conclusion has been made today, what else can he Zhao Guangyi do, can he still openly overturn the ruling of the Son of Heaven?

Zhao Guangyi is not so stupid.

At this time, Shi Wei also arched his hand and said: "After the misunderstanding happened last night, the lower official wanted to go to Kaifeng Mansion to meet His Royal Highness and ask His Highness to adjudicate." It's just that the lower official remembered that Xu Shilang was the person recommended by His Royal Highness, and if the lower official asked His Royal Highness to rule on whether it was or not, it would inevitably make people mistakenly think that His Royal Highness was suspected of protecting his shortcomings, so the lower official had no choice but to come to see His Majesty, and asked His Highness to forgive me. ”

Shi Wei's words are even more ingenious, so that Zhao Guangyi can no longer stand up for Xu Xian, otherwise he will really respond to Shi Wei's sentence of "protecting the short".

A trace of coldness flashed through Zhao Guangyi's eyebrows, and the annoyance in his heart flashed.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Guangyi had a smile on his face, and said lightly: "In fact, this king met the imperial brother this time, and he also wanted the imperial brother to adjudicate this matter, so as not to let others say that the king was disgusting. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity." Shi Wei smiled slightly, his expression showing gratitude.

Zhao Guangyi pounced, he was angry, and he didn't want to stay for a long time, so he said that he had something to say goodbye to the Son of Heaven.

When Shi Wei wanted to wait and retire, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Shi Aiqing and stay, Hua Rui has been saying that she is unwell recently, you say that since you have entered the palace, you will go to Ruixian Palace to see her." ”
