When you go to Wei Zhongzheng, you just hide, as you say, little donor, you are a person in the world after all, and you will eventually become vulgar.

Si'er and a few girls are fluttering butterflies with a fan in a few yellow cauliflowers. Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is finally soft-hearted......"

I just heard the news, the little emperor issued an edict, and entered the list of children in Beijing, and those who have marriage deeds, books, and wives are forbidden to discuss his relatives in two attempts, so as to hurt morality. It is forbidden to talk about marriage again, and it is obviously Zheng Lang's admonition that made Zhao Zhen issue this edict. But it was not what Zheng Lang meant, Zheng Lang deliberately said at the time that as long as there was this behavior, he would remove his fame from the past, such as his third brother-in-law, and immediately remove his qualification from the provincial examination. Zhao Zhen dared to do this, and it was Wang De's grandson-in-law, who would immediately play the role of killing chickens and monkeys. The edict only said that it was forbidden, but did not say how to punish it, and the effect was completely different.

"Your Majesty has to take care of it, the provincial yuan is still young, and he is not an official." Sima Guangdao.

In two sentences, it can be seen that the two of them have different thoughts.

Zheng Lang thought about it, in fact, Song Shenzong was also good later, and he dared to do it, but if these two generations of people were neutralized, then it would be good, Zhao Zhen let him have more of Song Shenzong's courage, and Song Shenzong gave him more of Zhao Zhen's calm energy, so no matter which one of them, they would create a Song Dynasty with clusters of flowers.

But this is not possible.

The two elementary schools have a few more arguments, which is also Zheng Lang's education method, and even has something that can happen to him, such as the second novel of the admonition, to make them think, make their thinking more mature, and correct their radicalism in the future.

Listening to their argument and looking at the sky, Zheng Lang shouted: "Xing'er, Si'er, come in and pack your luggage." ”

The five girls ran in with a grin, wiped their sweat with their handkerchiefs, and began to pack their bags. Zheng Lang occasionally observed, and Zhu Er and the other three little maids seemed to be virgins so far. In any case, there is a moral height.

Wei Zhongzheng shook his head and walked out and said, "Shengyuan, leave today?" ”

"If you want to take the palace test, you can't leave it."

"Here you go."

The two walked out, Wei Zhongzheng pointed to a peach blossom and said: "Some people say that it is charming, and they don't like it, but in fact, no matter how kitsch, it is just a small petal flower, and in the spring it adds a touch of joy to the earth, but peonies and other flowers are large and bright, thick and thick, not to mention ten times to flatter it?" ”

"Yes."

"It's a good weather for today's bright spring, warm and drooping, green willows, bees and butterflies dancing. If he said that the thin clouds, the raindrops dripped the bar, the mountain light and fog, and the three or two clothes, wouldn't it be a quiet beauty? ”

"That's right."

"Shengyuan, the first time I saw you, no joy and worry-free, calm attitude, I like it very much from the bottom of my heart, but this time I saw you, but with more thoughts, the front is calm, the joy is greater than the sorrow, the back is calm, the worry is greater than the joy, and gradually the phase."

"Haha, in this statement, the cheesiness on me is getting heavier and heavier." Zheng Lang smiled again and said, "But thank you for the advice of Daoist Wei." ”

"Don't dare, I'm still waiting for the provincial yuan to report good news."

"Don't have too much hope, just be able to get into the jinshi, Wei Dao Chief, and listen to me play a song for you."

Wei Zhongzheng accepted it calmly, if Zheng Lang gradually developed a trend, Wei Zhongzheng was cautious, but Zheng Lang would look down on him. Zheng Lang crossed over on the green grass, put the piano on his lap, and played a song "Remembering the Old Man". There is a song "Remembering Old Friends in the Mountains" in the Mingqin score, but Zheng Lang does not know the score, this is a new score played by the later guqin master Peng Zhiqing, the tune is euphemistic and lingering, whenever it is played in the quiet, it will trigger the listener's thoughts of distant relatives and friends, and the meeting is indefinite, which is tear-jerking.

After a song, Wei Zhongzheng said: "Accept it." ”

No one else can hear it, but he can hear the sound of friendship in the sound of the piano. He also said: "Provincial Yuan piano skills have improved again. ”

"I can't bounce into the bullet, especially the big monk."

"The great monk doesn't mention it, let alone his junior brother." Wei Zhongzheng laughed out loud again after speaking, these two people are all perverts, in terms of piano skills, who dares to compare with them!

Zheng Lang heard them say many times that he knew the junior brother Yihai, and suddenly remembered one thing, it was impossible to be in the capital, but when he went to Jiangnan, could he fish out this great monk?

When I got in the car, I was dressed in the spring, and my luggage was mostly lost in the inn, but there was not much.

The wheels of the three cars rattled hoarsely, and in a moment the tall walls of Tokyo City appeared.

Entering the inn, the eldest brother walked in, the third child was not in the inn, so that the little lady of the Wang family regarded it as a treasure, and refused to let go of a single step, so she had to stay in the palace. The eldest brother said with some shame: "My family has not done a good job in this matter. ”

It seems that even His Majesty does not agree with it, otherwise he would not deliberately issue an edict saying that this move is forbidden, which will hurt morality. The little brother-in-law left the inn, and somewhere he went, probably not satisfied.

After staying in Weizhongzheng for a few days, Zheng Lang's mood calmed down, and he said slowly: "Big brother, don't worry, prepare for the palace exam." Regarding this matter, I said earlier, I don't know the severity, your family and the Qin family are only married, not married. Morally, I'm sorry for the Qin family, but the third brother is finally a little shallow, and with the help of Wang Xianggong, his career will be very smooth in the future. I'm just a junior, so it's hard for me to make a comment. It's over. ”

"Mother came to the inn to see you, you are not here, she went back to Caizhou."

"I'm sorry." Zheng Lang said sorry in his mouth, not sorry at all in his heart, left the inn, and instructed the shopkeeper Yan not to reveal his whereabouts, in order to calm down, but also to avoid this mother-in-law.

As soon as he spoke, a small yellow door came in and said, "Zheng Shengyuan, Your Majesty is invited." ”

This is very eye-catching, and all the people who raised it looked at Zheng Lang under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen and entered the palace again, and they were all very red-eyed. In fact, several prime ministers are very open-minded, if they are emperors, there is such a strange young man under them, and they also attach importance to it.

I don't know the whole reason yet, that friendship, Zhao Zhen is not embarrassed to say it. Some other advices, such as the last advice, are beneficial to the country and the people, but in order to protect Zheng Lang, it is not easy to speak. This counts, even if it is a prime minister, in addition to dealing with government affairs, it is nothing more than that. Can Zhao Zhen not value it?

What matters is only for now, if the Yellow River bursts its banks and the party invades one after another, as Zheng Lang said...... This time, Zheng Lang was not allowed to enter the palace, it was not for political affairs, what he said, there was no commitment, Zhao Zhen was a little ashamed. When they met, they said, "I lost my words." ”

"Your Majesty refers to the arrest of sons-in-law under the list, and only the forbidden things that have not been punished?"

"I Xuan Wang Deyong entered the palace, he said that I agreed to Jinshi, and then opened his clothes naked, so that I could see his scars, and then took a sycamore leaf and shook it in front of my eyes."

"Sycamore leaves, refers to the allusion of Zhou Gong admonishing King Zhou Cheng?"

"But no, I can't break my word, but if I don't punish Cui Quanzhong, I can't punish other people......"

"Your Majesty is still soft-hearted, if the edict is issued in advance, the prince will not be unreasonable."

"Am I a little bit of a woman's kindness?"

"......" How can Zheng Lang answer well?

"But I secretly entrusted the right to mention the Jingcang grassland Li Dujian said to merge, and chose a son from all the moves, Luoyang Wang Shanggong, he also agreed, and sent someone to Hebei to discuss relatives to the Qin family, I heard that the Qin family has three sons, none of them have been successful, and the second son is a small official, what do you think?"

In line with Zhao Zhen's usual style, the minister made him spoiled, and sometimes he was helpless, so he was on both sides and muddy. Imagine a move, the uncle of the country protects the media, who dares not to obey? Zheng Lang thought about it for a while, this person he didn't know, but he was recorded in the annals of history! Whether it is in learning or in official career, this son is far better than the third uncle. Coupled with the fact that the two sons are officials, the Qin family is not aggrieved. In other words, it is a blessing in disguise.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, and it is a blessing to be Your Majesty's courtier."

Zheng Jiazi no longer insisted on his opinion, and the little emperor was happy. It also shows Zheng Lang's status in his heart at this time, if he doesn't value it, why care about what Zheng Lang thinks? It will be of great use in the future, so I summoned him to the palace to talk about it. I'm also embarrassed, Wang Deyong has made great contributions, and I made a promise in advance, there is no way.

Zheng Lang knew that it was useless to persuade him, with this surname, the two little ones continued to have differences under their own subtlety, not to mention the little emperor. continued: "But Your Majesty's words, the envoy thought of the two brothers of the Queen Mother, both of whom are not good at learning, so how about the rule of the ministers? How is De Ying? ”

The two uncles are very good, Liu Mei is a good official, Li Yonghe is also a good official, be careful and silent, push away the power, because he holds many military positions, so he used the public money given to him by the imperial court, that is, the entertainment fee, as military expenses to help the poor soldiers. Now I have to be favored for a while, I don't run a private house, I rent an official house to live. Don't look at Fan Yan's spittle, talking about morality, it's not a mile or ten miles away from this uncle.

praised his relatives, Zhao Zhen was even happier, and what came out of the mouth of the Zheng family was convincing. Rubbing his hands, he said, "If only the powerful were like them." ”

"So the ministers often say, the ministers have a far-sighted vision, Your Majesty is benevolent, the court has many talents, and even the relatives are angry, if you don't cherish it, it will be difficult for our dynasty to have a good time to revitalize again in the future."

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Zhao Zhen actually made Zheng Lang blush.

"But what the minister said is another thing, talent is only one point of the selection of officials, and the core of the election of officials is the investigation and grinding, virtue and governance. Therefore, Pei Xingjian, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, was not optimistic about the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty. ”

"Qing's words are reasonable, and I will discuss with you."

"Ministers also have a private ......" Zheng Lang suddenly remembered Liu Yong, and by the way, he would protect it: "In the past, it was said that the Han won the world, and the ministers competed for merit and rewards, and they did not stop, so Liu Bang used the enemy's Yongya as an official, and the ministers quickly quieted down when they heard it. As a human king, you must have a belly like the sea, which can hold thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and hundreds of millions of people. ”

"Who is it?" Zhao Zhen came to the spirit, pretending to be thousands of miles away, and the two words of billions of people stimulated him.

"There is a person who has replaced his fame with a shallow singing, how does His Majesty treat this person?"

"Yes...... You mean that floating willow? ”

Floating light willows? Zheng Lang couldn't help sweating, with this evaluation, Third Brother Liu, alas, you basically turned off the fire.

"He has not been successful for many years, and he is talented, and he has some bitterness in his heart. However, this person is also not of great use, but it is also possible for any of the small officials to record things, which also shows His Majesty's magnanimity. Zheng Lang told the truth, writing words, at this time, no one can compare with Liu Yong, including Yan Shu, but writing words well does not mean that the official is doing well, let Liu Yong be the prime minister, where will the Song Dynasty go? One thing is for sure, prostitution will be ten times more prosperous than it is now! The Song Dynasty needed this?

Protect yourself, at least after admitting Jinshi, you won't be deposed, what kind of blow will that have on Liu Yong?

"You're pitiful too?"

"I don't know...... It's easy to say others, including pointing out His Majesty's shortcomings, but you can......'t see that you can't do it" Zheng Lang was a little confused, in fact, it should not be promoted to Liu Yong, he just said that the selection of officials should also be virtuous and the people who rule the officials, and the two aspects of Liu will never be enough. So I don't know if I'm doing it right or wrong.

Zhao Zhen smiled: "You are an honest person, if you say such things, I will depend on you, and there is also a survey, if he does not do well, continue to float lightly, I can't blame me for not listening to your recommendation." ”

"Yes."

…… Some people are also talking about Li Yonghe.

Hearing that her mother was looking for her little husband but couldn't find it, Cui Xian thought about Zheng Lang's surname, understood, and said, "I'm afraid that the third brother will marry the little lady of the prince's family, and he will not be very happy." ”

"Why not be happy? If it weren't for my son's handsomeness, she might not have been able to take a fancy to my son, so why didn't anyone rob him? ”

Cui Xian is angry, do you want such an incident to happen to Zheng Lang?

Cui Youjie shouted: "Hugh is wordy, what my family did this time lost its virtue. ”

"Why is it immoral? I heard that Uncle Guo chose another son for the Qin family called Wang, ninety-seven in the provincial high school examination, what else is the Qin family dissatisfied with? ”

"Uncle Guo's public security media?" Cui Youjie heard that something was wrong. Not only Cui Youjie, but also many bigwigs in the capital heard about this, and heard that Zheng Lang entered the palace that night, and they all vaguely knew the truth of the matter, and then sighed on their foreheads, this is the real warmth and jade.

What to do? Blocking can't be stopped, and it's a junior, and he is not qualified to stop it, so he used His Majesty's favor to ask His Majesty to make a compensation to the Qin family, can't this mind be called warm?

"The Qin family has such a big face," Xu said enviously, and he was so tired that his uncle was so worried that he was protecting the media, and this uncle was faintly heavier than Wang Deyong in terms of real weight.

"Did the son-in-law enter the palace?"

"After entering the palace, he is favored by the saints, and it is normal to enter the palace, why ask?"

"Let me ask you, did he enter the palace before and after Quan Zhong got married?"

"Entered, I entered the palace when I returned to the inn that night, what's the problem?"

"Do you think Your Majesty has the heart to care about the Qin family?"

"Official, concubine doesn't understand."

"Even Your Majesty was deceived by Wang Deyong in this matter, but Wang Deyong is a meritorious person of the imperial court, and His Majesty is not easy to say, so he compensated the Qin family. Otherwise, what kind of medium is a national uncle to protect the Qin family. ”

"I still don't get it."

"It was the son-in-law who gave advice to the emperor, and the emperor remembered it, so he instructed the uncle to protect the media."

It's not good to talk to other ministers, and the emperor himself really acts as a matchmaker? Don't you laugh at other people's big teeth, Li Yonghe is just the best candidate. And in this way, it appeased Wang De and brought a bad reputation with this move, which was not only Zheng Lang's admonition, but also an alternative gift to this old minister.

"How could he have such a great ability?"

"It has nothing to do with ability," Cui Youjie didn't bother to explain to his wife, this is related to the morality of the world, otherwise Hugh wants to talk about his son-in-law, even if Li Yonghe himself persuades, His Majesty may not listen. There are so many big things in the country, even such small things, can the emperor manage it?

"This kid is also arrogant, no matter how arrogant he is, he can be as proud as the prince of others!" Xu Shi said unconvinced, he deliberately hid and didn't see himself, and he really thought he was a thing!

Cui Youjie was so angry that he almost jumped up, if it wasn't for the old husband and wife, he would have given this wife out! took a sip of tea and relieved himself before saying, "Is Wang Xianggong the prime minister?" ”

"He is a military general, how can he be the prime minister?"

"As the prime minister of Xifu, his position is at the top, but if you think about it in the future, think farther, is it possible for your son-in-law to be prime minister in the future?"

Xu Shi thought about it, and suddenly covered his mouth, not that it was nothing, but it was a 100% possibility, but it was only a matter of how old he could be to become the prime minister. Thinking about it this way, Wang De is not as good as his son-in-law.

"Think about it again, Uncle Guo is the only brother of the Empress Dowager Li, he is so low-key, look at your son-in-law, the son of heaven favors him, the Qing minister is Yangzhi, Lu Xianggong sent his son to learn the principles of studying and behaving, many students are like stars and moons, but what did he do, he thanked the guests behind closed doors!"

"The concubine is wrong."

"Don't lose face in the future, although Zhong'er's future is good this time, don't enter the capital."

"Why?" Xu Shidao, with such a strong son-in-law and a strong in-law, why can't he enter Beijing as a Beijing official, the capital is good, how prosperous.

"Last year, I made a mistake in what happened in Gao Yanei, and today I lost my virtue again, how could Your Majesty let someone enter Beijing?"

"That's also for the good of my son-in-law."

"Don't say that the son-in-law is wrong, if there is no him, how can Shu'er and Zhong'er take the provincial exam, and even fail the provincial exam, how can the little lady of the Wang family look down on him? In fact, without this joint relationship, with a son-in-law, the future of my two sons will not be too bad. But this time I climbed too much, and all the fate behind me was empty. Not only that, but this son-in-law has repeatedly shown bad behavior because of his wife's philistine, the last time he suddenly went back, last year he suddenly lived in the monastery, and this year he knew that his wife would go to see him but did not know where to hide, all of which are bad signs.

It's not good for me to go to Zhengzhou in person, not only is the official position, but the Zheng family is mostly widows, and the son-in-law can go, but it's not good if he doesn't go. The wife can't even go, it's to make trouble. My daughter is good, but I went last year, and I have lost my etiquette, so how can I go again. Thinking of this, he looked at his daughter worriedly. Cui Xian understood and said confidently: "Daddy, don't worry. ”

Repentance, the little husband will not do it, that is, how to fight for the status in the heart of the little husband, the position occupied by the two little maids is too heavy, although he did not say it, he can feel more important than his own status, he can't stay by his side for a long time because of etiquette, there is no way, so he has to take it, as if he doesn't know.

Cui Youjie was still very worried, and said, "Let's take the test in the palace." ”

"I'll take the exam tomorrow," Xu replied honestly, she was also counting her sons, not only her son-in-law, but also her two sons.

But it is the palace test, and there is still a period of time when the list is released, and after the list is released, hang flowers and cross the horse to parade the streets, sing and so on, and toss for a few days before returning to Zhengzhou. Only then did they formally discuss marriage, and there were still variables in the middle. I can't think about it anymore, otherwise my wife will complain about where she got the agreement.

…… Tokyo City in the Song Dynasty is almost a water city, Cai Shui in the south enters the capital from Chen Cai from the southwest Dailou Gate, and after going around the capital for a circle, out of the Chenzhou Gate. The middle is Bianshui, from the Luoyang intersection into the capital, east to Sizhou into Huai, there is Wuzhang River in the northeast, there is Jinshui River in the northwest. On the four wide rivers, boats are weaving, and business travel is endless.

Before dawn, the spring mist rises from the four rivers, like a white silk veil, and the houses flicker in the silk veil, like a fairyland.

There was a stir in the inn, and there were several people who had passed the provincial examination, and all of them had to take the palace examination today, including Zheng Lang and his eldest brother.

Jiang Xing'er carefully combed Zheng Lang's hair with a comb, looked at the bronze mirror, and Zheng Lang said, "Don't be so serious. ”

"Zheng Lang, be serious, today is your most important day."

Zheng Lang had no choice but to let her, and said slowly: "I used to take care of my studies, and I was also very slow with you, but it will be fine after the exam today." ”

"Zheng Lang, you can't say that, the slave is really satisfied now."

"I'm also satisfied," Zheng Lang laughed heartily.

Sanxiao squeezed in from the door, and Sima Guang and Wang Anshi arched their hands and said, "I wish the province another yuan." ”

"Started talking nonsense again."

The two little third sons stuck out their tongues, in fact, they were still talking about it on the road, admiring the good attitude of the little teacher, this palace test, the little teacher Jinshi must have been decided, but now his reputation is far and wide, and the middle jinshi is not enough, even if he ranks in the top three, it is also faintly disappointing. In fact, this kind of fame has also forced the little teacher to a dead end, and it seems that there is only one way to connect with the three yuan. The pressure can be imagined.

Jiang Xing'er combed Zheng Lang's hair, Zheng Lang stood up and said to Song Bo, "Prepare the car." ”

"Whoa."

Sima Guangyang begged, "Prepare the other cars as well." ”

"Why?"

"We're just waiting outside."

"You can't run around."

"Whoa." Sanxiao jumped up happily. Sometimes when I look at them, I think they are very cute, and I don't know what these two fierce brothers will be like when they grow up?

The eldest uncle also prepared the car, and the third uncle was not there, but was in the palace. Wang Deyong said to Cui Quanzhong shamelessly: "Don't worry, even if you don't do well in the exam, you have all the jinshi." "That means that you newlyweds, Yan'er, have to be loving, this is your business. What about the third uncle? But the little lady of the Wang family seems to be very gentle at the moment, so the third uncle fell into the gentle township.

The three cars set off towards the palace, and the sky gradually brightened.
