Yuan Wei is a native of Zhejiang, and he is a new bachelor in the cabinet, and the main examination of the usual examination is selected from the Ministry of Rites or the new bachelor.

Becoming the main examiner of the entrance examination indicates that there are three or four hundred new students who have become your students, obeying orders, charging into battle, and being willing to be wings.

Normally, a scholar has only one chance to preside over the examination, and Xu Jie is no exception, he presided over the 32nd year of Jiajing's Gui Chou Department, as for Zhang Juzheng, it was because after being selected as a Shu Jishi, Xu Jie, as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, taught Shu Jishi, and he had the status of master and apprentice.

I have to say that Xu Gelao's life is very good, both subjects are full of talents, and there are many capable people, it is precisely by relying on these students that Xu Jie has enough strength to challenge Yan Song.

As for Yuan Wei, he also wanted to emulate Xu Jie, cultivate his own strength, when he received Cao Dazhang's invitation, he nodded without hesitation, in the last few subjects, the momentum of the southeast scholar's rise is very fierce, almost occupying eighty percent of the quota, Yuan Wei wants to touch the level of the students, if it is really good, he has to fight for it no matter what.

came to the Jiangnan Hall, not to mention, Yuan Wei read a few articles recommended by Cao Dazhang, and suddenly the pores and eyes of his body opened.

It seems that this year's champion is either in Nanzhili or Zhejiang.

Yuan Wei silently calculated, he is a native of Cixi, Zhejiang, if he can be the main exam, he has the affection of fellow teachers and students, and the new science and technology scholars are not obedient.

Thinking of countless people surrounding him, called "Shixiang", Yuan Wei's snot bubbles were about to pop up.

Just when he was dreaming, Tang Yi, an untimely guy, ran over, Yuan Wei was stunned, and his face sank.

"What are you doing here?" The tone was colder than the wind.

Tang Yi threw his hat on the table and smiled slightly, "Yuan Ge Lao, you are unreasonable, the Jiangnan Guild Hall was built by contacting the gentry of Suzhou and Hangzhou when I was the prefect of Hangzhou, and I alone donated 100,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as half of the master - Yuan Ge Lao, if you talk like this, I am afraid that you will be noisy!" ”

Yuan Wei was so choked that he almost rolled his eyes and fainted, between him and Tang Yi, it was really a little unclear, when Tang Yi pushed him into the cabinet, Yuan Wei liked this young man very much, and felt that he was sensible and discerning.

But then he fell to the side of King Yu, almost collapsed King Jing, Qilin, and let Tang Yi play hard, a calculation came to naught, Yuan Wei was both hated and afraid, and he was very helpless.

He didn't have any idea about Tang Yi, Yuan Wei gritted his teeth, "Tang Yi, since you are the master, the old man has no choice but to leave!" ”

got up to leave, Tang Yi stretched out his hand and blocked the way.

Yuan Wei glared at him, "What, do you still dare to stop this pavilion?" He seems to be the only thing that is more powerful than Tang Yi is his official position, and he can't help but show the majesty of a scholar.

"Haha, the elder of the pavilion misunderstood, we are all officials of the imperial court, you are old and decades of ups and downs in the sea, there are no eternal enemies in this officialdom, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, do you say yes?"

Of course Yuan Wei hadn't heard this, but he heard it with affection, don't say it, it's just like this, the three flavors of officialdom have been broken in one sentence.

His face softened a little, "Lord Tang, what do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, I just want to talk to the elder of the pavilion."

Tang Yi pulled Yuan Wei to sit down, and with a wave of his hand, an attendant brought two bowls, which were steaming hot, looking very thick, Yuan Wei frowned.

"Ge Lao, this thing is called coffee, it was brought from the West, and it is a simple thing, naturally it can't be compared with our tea, it is better than the exotic style, and it doesn't hurt to taste it."

Tang Yi said, took the initiative to pick up the cup and took two sips.

Yuan Wei was suspicious, following Tang Yi's appearance, he took a sip, the taste was very weird, the first sip was drunk, it seemed to be gentian laxative liver soup, and he drank two more sips, bitter and sweet, and it really tasted some.

"Not bad." Yuan Wei said lightly.

"Ge Lao, go back and send you two Western beauties, specially grinding coffee for Ge Lao, in addition, there are some Western things here, such as pocket watches, table clocks, sofas, by the way, their Westerners' oil paintings are good, our ink paintings pay attention to artistic conception, people pay attention to realism, the ghost woman is painted like a real person, you want to have arms, you want thighs to have thighs, you always promise to like." Tang Yi said, showing a smile that all men understand.

Yuan Wei frowned, he really couldn't touch Tang Yi's pulse, of course it was good to give gifts to himself, Western things, Yuan Wei also liked them, he collected three pieces of pocket watches alone, each of which was hundreds of taels of silver, catching up with a year's worth of money.

It's just that eating other people's mouths is short, and taking other people's hands is short, what Tang Yi is going to do, he still doesn't understand.

"Lord Tang, this pavilion still has important matters, so I have left."

"Don't go, what can happen to the New Year." Tang Yi held Yuan Wei down again, and said with a smile: "Yuan Ge Lao, I have no malice at all, don't misunderstand, to put it bluntly, I just want to repair with you, many friends have many roads, many enemies have many walls, why do you want to refuse people thousands of miles away!" ”

Without waiting for Yuan Wei to speak, Tang Yi was full of emotion and recited: "The green leaves are thick, all over the pond pavilion and water pavilion, taking advantage of the cold and many pomegranates are blooming, and the flowers are clustered with red Luo." Lao Yan and chicks talk, and there are high willows and cicadas to harmonize. After the shower, the pearls were scattered all over the new lotus. There are a few hundred years in life, thinking of the beautiful scenery of the good day, and resting and letting go. The poor pass is determined, why use hard work. Friends invite guests to play, and sing to the bottle. and drunk, let him have two rounds of the sun and the moon, back and forth. ”

With a very magnetic voice, after reading a song "Showers Hit New Lotus", even Yuan Wei was moved, his life was less than 100, in the first half of his life, in order to be able to be admitted to fame, he worked hard, boiled his hair white, and finally entered the officialdom easily, and it was more than 20 years of hard work, and he didn't feel that his temples were white, and his years were fleeting.

But I still have to work hard, up and down, when can I face one or two old friends, sing and drink, and live some comfortable days?

The court situation was so turbulent, King Jing was in danger, and Yuan Wei felt more and more exhausted and overwhelmed.

"Alas, Lord Tang, how can the old man be burdened by fame, but in the game, you and I are our own masters, otherwise they are a pair of good friends! The old man does have something to do, so he won't bother much. ”

Yuan Wei insisted on leaving, Tang Yi's face suddenly changed, and he sneered: "Yuan Ge Lao, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, if you hold a python and say that it is a dragon species, you will be deceiving yourself!" ”

Suddenly, Yuan Wei's body shook, and his face became extremely ugly.

"Lord Tang, what do you mean? Dare to underestimate my Highness! ”

Tang Yi did not give in, and said menacingly: "That's right, Yuan Ge Lao, His Royal Highness King Yu, gave birth to a dragon seed on the first day of the first lunar month, the son is healthy, and the mother and son are safe." coincides with the New Year, this is destined by God, King Yu and the prince are the true sons of the future Ming Dynasty! On the first day of the first month, His Majesty gave twenty palace maids and twenty eunuchs to serve, as wise as Yuan Ge Lao, he wouldn't not understand what it meant, right? ”

The average prince has a queen, only ten palace maids and ten eunuchs, and usually, the country is difficult, and it is actually only half.

This time, King Yu not only received a double reward, Jiajing also sent 10,000 pieces of silk, and canonized Li's father as Wu Qingbo. The reward is unprecedented, and through this move, it has been announced to the world that the emperor's heart is on King Yu.

Waiting for the fifteenth day of the first month, the holiday has passed, and many officials should write books to fight for the fame of King Yu. Yuan Wei was like a mirror in his heart, King Jing was completely defeated in this battle for succession, but he couldn't do it if he was asked to bow his head to Tang Yi. Yuan Wei calmed his face and said angrily: "Tang Yi, are you going to demonstrate to this pavilion?" As long as His Majesty does not canonize the crown prince for a day, the cabinet will fight for the prince! ”

"Don't!"

Tang Yi's face changed again, and he smiled.

"Elder Yuan Ge, you sit down first and listen to me speak slowly." Tang Yi smiled, and just now he was full of voices, and he was like two people, and his face changed so quickly that even the actors of Sichuan Opera had to sigh to themselves.

Pressing Yuan Wei to sit down, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Yuan Ge Lao, as courtiers, we shouldn't be involved in royal affairs, you have already entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and you are a very popular minister, what are you fighting for?" What's more, although His Majesty's health is not as good as before, he is still in the spirit of Ryoma, and he is afraid that it will be some years before he changes the dynasty. Why do we bother for the rainbow far away in the sky, fighting for a red face and thick neck, what good is it! ”

With the foreshadowing of "Showers Hitting New Lotus" just now, Yuan Wei's sour rot was hooked up again, and listening to Tang Yi's words, he nodded in admiration: "Lord Tang, you are indeed knowledgeable, but the old man is wrong, but it's a pity that you have embarked on this road and can't go back." ”

"Wrong, Yuan Ge Lao, the road is walked by people. Don't tell you all the time, His Royal Highness King Yu is cowardly, he doesn't like to make enemies, and he is not willing to be an enemy of the Son of Heaven's favored ministers. ”

Obviously, Tang Yi had such a big advantage, why did he still have to keep his voice down, Yuan Wei was completely blinded and was trapped by Tang Yi's routine.

"With Lord Tang here, who would dare to bully His Royal Highness King Yu!"

"Yuan Ge is polite." Tang Yi lowered his voice slightly, "Elder Ge, when it comes to that little matter between us, as long as it doesn't take it seriously, it's fine!" ”

The words were quite round, but Yuan Wei understood, "Lord Tang, what do you think is important?" ”

Tang Yi hesitated for a moment, "Elder Yuan Ge, what do you think of Elder Xu Ge?" ”

Yuan Weixin said, why did it get to Xu Jie, he shook his head blankly.

"Alas, Ge always doesn't want to tell the truth, outsiders think I'm Xu Dang, but over the years, Xu Jie's calculations about me have been less? Xu Jie's exterior is wide and deep inside, and the yin is heavy, if he becomes the first assistant, it is guaranteed to be ten thousand times more terrifying than Yan Ge Lao, and then others will not think about living a good life in the court. ”

Yuan Wei was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he didn't have a long time in the cabinet, but it could also be seen that the Yan family's father and son were domineering, but Xu Jie's was not a good thing, during his presiding over the cabinet, he monopolized the votes, personnel and financial rights, Yuan Wei was not mixed at all, it was better to be a secretary of the Ministry of Rites!

Yuan Wei suddenly came to his senses, and said angrily: "I really didn't expect it, Lord Tang doesn't like Xu Ge Lao either?" (To be continued.) )
