After Song Yang thanked him, Feng Long suddenly restrained his smile: "I selected the wizards to show the power of Nanli, not to give gifts. So I have one more thing to ask you...... If you replace the sting with the Dragon Boat Festival, replace this place with Zou Cheng Yan Palace, replace me with Yan Emperor Jingtai, and replace the ministers in this palace with the important ministers of the Five Kingdoms, which country is the stronger country you say? ”

Not easy to ask, but at least... It is better for Feng Leong to ask the question than not to ask.

"I have forgotten the two truths of quantitative change and qualitative change, and the number of heaven and earth. The grass people have another strategy to strengthen the swallow, if they can go to fight a product, they should be dedicated to the Yan Emperor. The most important question, Song Yang didn't go to the foreshadowing, and spoke directly: "The dog Rong worships the white wolf and has a shaman serving the gods, but the shaman submits to the barbarian lord, and the gods are only limited to praying for blessings and promoting war, and nothing else." The king is supreme, and the gods are auxiliary. ”

"Tubo believes in Tantra, the whole country respects the living Buddha, the lords of various places are the living Buddha's law, and the war and political affairs are presided over by the living Buddha, the gods are supreme, and the monarch is the auxiliary."

"The Uighurs worship the fire, and the people are blazing where the flame originates, and since the founding of the country, successive kings have had another identity: the messenger of the sacred fire. Jun is God, God is also Jun, and the two are one. ”

"The three wild countries have all risen rapidly in a hundred years, with little to speak of, but the people's hearts are unprecedentedly cohesive...... Whether it is a monarch, or a god, or a king and a god, they are all one leader in the final analysis. Yan Kingdom has two sacred places, Da Lei Yintai and Zou Cheng Yan Palace, it is not difficult for Yan to go to the next level, and only one of the two holy places is left. ”

After Song Yang finished speaking, Feng Long tilted his head to look at him: "This way of Qiang Yan... Are you stupid when you are a Yan countryman? ”

Song Yang shook his head: "They are not stupid, the grass people can't take care of it, the grass people just tell the truth." ”

Feng Long suddenly laughed: "It's indeed the truth! In the midst of laughter, he waved his hand and retreated, without saying a word to Song Yang......

After the court, all the adults withdrew from the treasure hall, and before they dispersed, they had to say a few words to each other, only the right prime minister, the mortals ignored it, and sat in a sedan chair and left directly.

Back in the house, two charming maids greeted him, carefully helped the trembling old man to the hall to eat, the dishes and chopsticks had just been put up, the footsteps outside the door sounded, a person walked up to the class and asked with a smile: "How is it?" ”

It was also an old man, but he was much younger than the class man, thin and ordinary-looking, and the only thing that was a little strange was that his hands were in his sleeves.

Gu Zhaojun.

This time was different from the past, Gu Zhaojun's face was gloomy, a thick circle of bandages was wrapped around his forehead, and he no longer had the same ease as before when he walked, and he became limping.

Gu Zhaojun was injured, and the injury was not light. However, his expression was still the same, smiling kindly, and pretending to be polite: "You haven't eaten yet?" Eat first, then talk after eating, I'm not in a hurry. "Master Ban is too old, so old that it seems to be a difficult task to roll his eyelids, his eyes are lowered, he doesn't look at each other, and he starts to eat under the service of the maid, during which he doesn't say a word, Gu Zhaojun is not in a hurry, he sits aside and waits quietly.

Until the meal was finished and all the subordinates retreated, the class master breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back in a thin state, and leaned back in the chair: "It's smart, smarter than I thought, and smarter than you say." ”

Gu Zhaojun shrugged his shoulders: "You just praise him for being smart, but you don't talk about the situation of the palace test, do you sincerely confuse me?" ”

The class master didn't rush to say anything, but asked Gu Zhaojun instead: "Song Yang used the title of 'The Way to Strengthen the Country' to apply for the election of Nan Li Qishi, what do you think?" ”

Gu Zhaojun shook his head and gave a four-word comment: "It's stupid!" ”

The selection of the Golden Palace is different from the 'audition' in Kyushu, and everyone in the palace, except for the contestants and eunuchs, is counted as one, and all of them are 'leaders'. People have been dealing with official, power, civil, and national arts for several generations since their ancestors.

All other talents are good, but this is the only way to strengthen the country...... Born in a civilian family, relying on his shrewdness and good knowledge, he went to such a group of bigwigs who are pondering and discussing how to strengthen the country every day, pointing fingers and talking about their own strategies for strengthening the country? However, because it is a national selection of talents, everyone always has to have a humble appearance of Corporal Ruogu Lixian, because on the surface they seem to have a good attitude, but in their hearts, they have an initial dislike for Song Yang and the Hong family brothers. This is the simplest and most normal state of mind, from the emperor to the ministers of the court.

Therefore, to apply for the election with 'the way of strengthening the country' is really as Gu Zhaojun said: stupid.

"The boy surnamed Song, first use this 'disgust' to erase the Hong family brothers who are against him, and when it is his turn......" There was no expression on the face of the class master, but his eyes were still bright: "Your Palace, he said a heaven and earth mysteries, this number is a bit interesting, and the most interesting thing is not this, is that he only talks about heavenly opportunities, not about national policies." ”

The virtuous ability to argue the way of a strong country may be fine if it behaves in a decent manner; Once the shortcomings are exposed and someone catches the handle, it will definitely be dealt with to the end. The Hong brothers fell into a situation of no return because they received some money, although it was related to Song Yang, but at least half of the reason was in this 'disgust' towards them that even the emperor himself did not find out.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake... What's more, whether it is Song Yang or the brothers of the Hong family, they are not dragons, and everyone in the palace is the real beast.

When he was preparing to be selected for the topic in Yanziping, Song Yang figured out this truth, so he came up with a lot of gimmicks, trying to explain that he was 'observing nature and comprehending the heavens'. This 'family study' itself has nothing to do with national policy, but can be used......

Maybe talking too much was choking on saliva, the class suddenly coughed, the two talked secretly There was no one around, Gu Zhaojun sat aside as if he was nothing, and looked indifferently at the old man coughing so much that he couldn't catch his breath at any time...... Finally, as the thick phlegm spit out, Master Ban took a long breath with great difficulty, and finally he was still alive, Gu Zhaojun's face was full of disgust, and the other party's phlegm was spit at his feet.

"Song Yang explained the Xuanshu carefully and carefully, but when it came to the application of the Xuanshu, he suddenly changed the topic, saying that he was shallow and did not dare to speak about the national policy." Master Ban took out the unknown pill from his bosom, swallowed it with tea, and barely suppressed the disordered breath: "In the final analysis, he wants to tell the emperor two sentences: 'I comprehend nature, not the national policy. I want to use the mystical truth of nature to strengthen the country, but it is definitely not me who can really make the right and strange complement each other and formulate a good policy for strengthening the country, but you. These two sentences were not explicitly stated, but they were firmly planted in the emperor's heart. ”

Although he was not present during the palace examination, with Gu Zhaojun's thoughts, he had already roughly understood the situation at that time, and nodded in agreement: "This time, he has changed from a wild boy who doesn't know the height of the sky and talks about state affairs in vain, to a young talent who relies on his family to help enthusiastically, and quietly changes his identity, which is very good." After speaking, he didn't forget to use his chin to point to the medicine bottle in Lao Ban's hand: "What medicine?" What kind of disease is cured? If it's a good medicine, I'll take it. ”

Master Ban ignored it, carefully took the medicine bottle back into his arms, and continued Song Yang's topic in his mouth: "It's not just that I have changed my identity. He also used a cane to lead the emperor to speak of the blade. The little trick is not worth mentioning, but it is used at the right time, he put that mystical number into practice, and used the emperor's strategy to strengthen the army to fulfill his own mystical truth...... By the time the dynasty finally dispersed, the emperor said that he was a talent of Nanli. ”

"Nanli's talents? The Emperor recognized his identity. That's great! Gu Zhaojun smiled happily.

Master Ban was cold: "The emperor's praise for him made you happy like this?" Which virtuous man has not been praised by the emperor today? ”

Gu Zhaojun's good-tempered appearance: "It's not that you don't know the emperor's surname, why do you know why." ”

Master Ban shook his head, but he stopped as soon as he shook it, the corners of his shriveled mouth twitched slightly, barely a smile: "People are old, they are reluctant to sleep at night, and they always want to talk to someone, and others are not as interesting as you." ”

Gu Zhaojun looked at Master Ban quietly for a while, and finally smiled and spoke, taking the other party's 'knowingly asking' thing as a story, and chatting with the old man: "This young emperor of your family is not eloquent, but he can't talk about brutality and rigidity, it's decent." However, young people will always be a little angry, and Feng Leong is no exception, he is always afraid of being looked down upon by others, and this is where the root knot lies. Feng Long was afraid that the Qishi sent was too 'soft' and would laugh at everyone with soft legs, which would make other countries laugh even more, so he wanted to choose someone who had some temper and dared to raise his head to speak, and when he arrived in Yan Kingdom, at least he couldn't admit it. ”

As he spoke, Gu Zhaojun rolled his eyelids, pondered for a moment, and finally smiled: "It's just 'can't admit it'." Hehe, that's a good word. ”

Master Ban ignored his boasting and self-praise, and asked slowly: "So when Qingyang was selecting talents, you arranged for a Tibetan merchant to give Song Yang a 'foot'?" ”

Gu Zhaojun knew that this matter could not be hidden from him, so he nodded happily and admitted it.

The old fox figured out the young emperor's thoughts, and arranged for Song Yang to compete with the Tubo people, to put it bluntly, Gu Zhaojun helped Song Yang to 'vote for Fenglong', and gave Song Yang an impression point to the emperor in advance.

Master Ban frowned: "Another question, it doesn't matter if you don't want to answer... Are those Tibetans your men? When did you get in touch with Tibet again? ”

"Those fans are not my subordinates, but they are temporarily 'used', and it is not difficult to instigate them to come to power, when I was in Qingyang, that group lived in a shop with me, and they were very high-flying, and they just didn't like it." Gu Zhaojun shook his head and smiled: "These are not the point, the point is Song Yang at that time, he could guess that I arranged this matter, but he couldn't guess the key, even so, he still sang the scene lively." ”

"The matter of the poisonous and dumb Hong brothers has nothing to do with me, it's purely three unlucky eggs who are self-inflicted. However, this matter is also the same as Qingyang's previous deal with the Tubo merchants, and it was all seen by the emperor. Feng Long took a fancy to Song Yang's temper of 'if you come, I will go', but he still had some doubts about his Yanren identity, "Gu Zhaojun felt a little dry mouth, but no one around him fed him tea, so he swallowed his saliva and continued: "Today in the palace, Feng Long's doubts about his identity have disappeared, and Song Yang's selection may naturally increase the number of old people, according to you, what is Song Yang's chance of going to the fight?" ”

"About fifty percent." The class said in an indifferent tone: "The way to strengthen the country is a congenitally deficient topic, and if you play it well, you only have a fifty percent chance of winning!" Whether he can go to Yan as he wishes is just in the emperor's thoughts. "The last problem of Fenglong before the scattered dynasty is what the class said'congenital insufficiency', and Song Yang's answer can only be regarded as decent at best, and no one can say whether he can pass the test.

The eyes of the class were half closed: "Song Yang's brain is quite clear, how could he choose the 'way of strengthening the country' to run?" I don't know this question, don't you need to compare and lose fifty percent first? ”

Gu Zhaojun smiled: "In my opinion, it's not that he's stupid, it's that he can't help it." ”

In a word.

Song Yang was prepared for the problems that he might encounter in the palace exam, since he expected Feng Long to ask, 'Which country is your truth strong when you arrive in Dayan', he can naturally think of the 'congenital insufficiency' of the topic he chose, but he really has no other choice, he can't sing and dance, martial arts cultivation can't be selected, and poison medicine can't make sense... What else could he do. What Song Yang hates the most is that he didn't learn to blow glass and make steel in his previous life......

A smile appeared in the eyes of Master Ban: "Are you defending him?" Listening to your tone, it seems to have some short-term meaning. After speaking, without waiting for Lao Gu to answer, he changed the topic: "No matter what, you are looking forward to Song Yang going to Yan Kingdom... Can he? Is it worth it? ”

Gu Zhaojun was silent, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "I don't have many opportunities, so I can't think too much." ”

The adults of this class were noncommittal, and the words in their mouths turned again: "Their actions are not small, you escaped this time, and you may not have such luck next time, you can figure it out yourself." ”

Gu Zhaojun's gaze suddenly became sharp, and he laughed: "The surname Gu can't die!" After speaking, his expression was relaxed again, and he opened his mouth and yawned widely: "Go to sleep!" Your bed is too hard, and you can't sleep well these days, and you can't stay up late. "Get up and walk outside.

The class replied unceremoniously: "If you think the bed is hard, get out." ”

Gu Zhaojun laughed, and his footsteps did not stop: "I will leave in three days at most, and I will give you a real soft bed at that time." ”

Master Ban also laughed, and his words were a little inexplicable: "No matter how comfortable the bed is now, I will still sleep in a cold and hard box in the future." Xiao Gu, while there is still a soft bed, just lie down more. No matter how busy you are now, you can't hide from that cold box. ”

Gu Zhaojun's feet eased slightly, and his tone became light: "When you really enter the box, you don't have to be busy." ”

Master Ban frowned and repeated in a daze, "Yes." When you really get into the box, you don't have to be busy. ”

And Gu Zhaojun explained without looking back: "My people are not around, you find me a woman to sleep with." Don't be virgin, jerky and stiff, incomprehensible, tasteless. ”

"I'll find you three."

Surrounded by three women, the spring is boundless, just when Gu Zhaojun fell into the gentle township, in the lobby of the Criminal Department in the west of the city, Du Shangshu was sitting quietly, staring at the fire candle on the table for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

An official of the Criminal Department walked briskly from outside, stopped at the door, and whispered a few words to Tang Ham, who was on duty, Tang Ham nodded, entered the lobby and bowed slightly, and said softly to Du Shangshu: "My lord, the brothers of the Hong family who were detained in the prison at night said that they are willing to provide bribes, and they only ask the adults to be lenient." ”

Du Shangshu finally retracted his gaze, after looking at the candle flame for a long time, there will always be a beating light in front of him, blurring the surrounding scenes, he likes this 'blur': "The trial has not been tried yet, and they are about to confess?" ”

After the three brothers left the palace, they were directly thrown into prison by Du Shangshu and were not interrogated at all.

After Tang Ham nodded, Du Shangshu cooled down, and at the same time finally made up his mind, and said lightly: "The brothers of the Hong family had a hidden disease, and the hidden disease broke out in the heart palpitations, and they died violently in prison before they could pass the court." ”

Tang Ham was taken aback, knowing that he shouldn't be too talkative, but he still couldn't help but ask, "This... The case of the three brothers was the first generation of the Holy Father. Master Du didn't bother to pay attention to him, closed his eyes and was silent...... Some cases must be solved, like the case of the armillary sphere hiding the corpse a while ago; But there are also some cases that cannot be solved easily, such as the one in front of us. Since his grandfather's grandfather, he has been an official and a big official in the court. After so many years, the Du family has never really leaned towards one side, but it has never been half of the decay, and since the founding of Nanli, there are very few families like the Du family that can be as evergreen.

The trick to 'evergreen' is in just two words: neutrality.

Master Du abides by the ancestral teachings, and no matter how big the official is, he will not be contaminated with right and wrong. This is the case of the Hong brothers, it is not a matter of a small effort, but what about after that? Plainly put a senior member of the DPRK and China on the opposite side.

Lord Du doesn't like to make friends very much, but he doesn't want to make enemies, this matter ends here, the emperor's scolding is inevitable, but the favor that can be released will be returned by the other party sooner or later...... Although his eyes were closed, the light was still beating in front of Lord Du's eyes.

Everything that happened in the palace today, Hongbo Mansion has been reported in detail, Ren Xiaozhu heard it happily, refused to sleep in the middle of the night, ran to the third sister's room, and squeezed into someone's bed in vain: "The three stingy ghosts surnamed Hong, before they had time to open their mouths to deal with Song Yang, they were taken away and imprisoned by Lord Du, sister, do you say they are wronged?" It was a question, but without waiting for Ren Churong to answer, she giggled again: "Pingbai came to fight against Song Yang, and he is not wronged if he is unlucky." ”

In this regard, Ren Churong just smiled slightly, and reached out to hold his sister in his arms: "I think it's not wronged or unjust." Some people have everything planned, everything has been calculated... But he didn't calculate that his life was short. ”
