Chapter 138: Before Sunrise

Cao Yuanshan's mind was quickly weighing the pros and cons: Zu Donglai fell, and he, as the core figure of the Zu Party, must be the first group of people to be liquidated. At this time, what can be said in front of the emperor is probably the three people in front of him, Qin Minzhong and Lin Bai have never dealt with each other, and the only one left is Yang Bozheng.

"Good morning, teacher! Greetings from the students! Cao Yuanshan came to Yang Bozheng's face, bowed, and said respectfully.

Yang Bozheng glanced back at Cao Yuanshan, with a puzzled expression on his face, and asked, "Dare to ask you ......?"

"The teacher is really a noble person, how forgetful!" Cao Yuanshan smiled lightly and said, "The student is the first name in the eighth year of Shengyuan - Cao Yuanshan. That year, it was the spring festival hosted by you, teacher! ”

Yang Bozheng frowned, his fingers tapped Cao Yuanshan, and he kept saying, "You, you...... Oh, oh......" he said, a smile on his face.

"The teacher dares to think of the student?" Cao Yuanshan's face also showed a shallow smile.

"The old man really can't remember!" Yang Bozheng's words made Cao Yuanshan's smile freeze on his face, and he saw Yang Bozheng walking past him, but he didn't know what to say for a while......

Just when Cao Yuanshan was embarrassed and didn't know how to end it, Yang Bozheng suddenly stopped, looked back at Cao Yuanshan, showed a sudden look on his face, and said loudly: The old man remembered that the eighth year of Shengyuan was indeed the main examination of the old man, and the champion of that year was indeed called Cao Yuanshan! ”

Hearing Yang Bozheng's words, the smile on Cao Yuanshan's face came alive again, and he bowed down again and said, "The teacher remembered, it was the student!" ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Bozheng frowned, looked at Cao Yuanshan carefully up and down, shook his head lightly, and said, "No, you are not Cao Yuanshan!" ”

Cao Yuanshan's brows also furrowed, he didn't understand what Yang Bozheng meant by this, so he had to explain along the way: "The student is indeed Cao Yuanshan, and the colleagues in the hall can testify for the student!" ”

Cao Yuanshan is a servant of the ministry, and there are really few people in this hall who don't know him, so a few people in the crowd unconsciously nodded and said, "That's right, this is indeed Cao Shilang!" ”

But Yang Bozheng still shook his head again and again, "No, no, you are not Cao Yuanshan, Cao Yuanshan was a handsome young man with a lot of style, look at you, there is a little bit of a suave feeling all over your body?" Even if you are old, Cao Yuanshan is less than forty today, but you look a few years younger than the old man! ”

Cao Yuanshan has been calculating all day long over the years, and he is indeed getting old relatively quickly, and after listening to Yang Bozheng's words, he couldn't help but say with a little embarrassment: "Teacher, the students were young at that time, but that was more than ten years ago!" ”

"Oh, more than ten years?" Yang Bozheng frowned, glanced at Cao Yuanshan again, and said lightly: "Yes, time flies so fast, it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye." I haven't heard your teacher for more than ten years! Don't dare to be it! ”

After speaking, Yang Bozheng turned around and walked towards the front few large chairs. Behind him, Cao Yuanshan stood in place with an even more embarrassed expression, not knowing what to do.

Yang Bozheng sat down, glanced at the circle that stood around, looked at Qin Minzhong, Lin Bai and his ministers, couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile: "What are you adults looking at what we three old men are doing?" ”

"Lord Situ (referring to Qin Minzhong, the head of the household can be honored as Situ), Lord Zongbo (referring to Yang Bozheng, the Ministry of Rites is honored as Uncle Zong), Lord Si Xian (referring to Lin Bai, the chief of the imperial history can be honored as Si Xian) dare to ask what happened in the court?" Finally, some ministers couldn't help but ask.

Yang Bozheng smiled and glanced at Qin Minzhong next to him, but did not speak, although the two of them have the same rank, but the status of the household department is still before the Ministry of Rites after all, so at this time, it is necessary to have eyesight.

Qin Minzhong also looked back at Yang Bozheng and Lin Bai left and right, and then said: "Everyone, don't be impatient, the emperor will naturally have a will to come down later, everyone please sit quietly in peace!" ”

None of the people present were stupid people, and after listening to Qin Minzhong's words, their eyes rolled, as if they understood something, so some people nodded lightly and retreated with a smile; Some people are frowning and full of sorrow; Some people are even pale, and they are drenched in cold sweat.

Yang Bozheng glanced at Qin Minzhong, then turned his head and said in a deep voice to the ministers in the courtroom: "Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to speculate. Saying that something happened, something happened, saying that nothing happened, and indeed nothing happened, everyone still stayed here quietly and waited for news! ”

"Master Zongbo, what kind of news is it!" A minister couldn't stand Yang Bozheng's cloudy words, nor could he endure the torment caused by waiting, so he stood up and said loudly: "Please tell me the truth, what happened." It's really uncomfortable to hang people like this! ”

Yang Bozheng looked back at Qin Minzhong and Lin Bai again, and saw that both of them nodded, so he turned around and said with a smile: "If the old man is not mistaken, you are Lord Wu Deyun Wu in the Ministry of War, right?" ”

The man didn't know what Yang Bozheng meant by suddenly mentioning his official position, but he still nodded honestly and replied, "Master Zongbo remembers well, it's a lowly position!" ”

Yang Bozheng continued to smile and said: "If the old man is not mistaken, you are the leader of the fifth year of Shengyuan, although I am not the main examiner of that subject, I still have a very good impression of you." But you're not doing very well as an official, after so many years, you're a man. That Cao Yuanshan over there is a subject later than you, and he is now a servant of the ministry. ”

Wu Deyun twitched his face and said: "The lowly character is rude, and it is difficult to enter the eyes of the ministers and scholars, so they naturally rise slowly. ”

Yang Bozheng smiled and said: "You are not only slow to rise, but you are simply not rising." Although the old man doesn't care about the ministry, he also knows that you haven't moved anywhere in the military department for nearly ten years. ”

Everyone in the hall also knows Wu Deyun's situation, because he has an upright personality and is not good at greeting, especially with the minister Zu Tianyi, so he has not been promoted for more than ten years. This is for sure, offending Zu Tianyi is equivalent to offending Zu Donglai, and offending Zu Donglai means that it is absolutely impossible for the career to be smooth sailing. Now that they heard Yang Bozheng mention this stubble again, everyone also let out a knowing smile.

"Master Zongbo remembers so clearly, is it just to mock the lowly position?" Wu Deyun's face turned red.

Yang Bozheng shook his head with a smile and said, "The old man is old, what are you doing with jokes?" The old man is thinking, it has been more than ten years, and your perseverance is commendable. It's time for this position to move! ”

One sentence suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, and Yang Bozheng's sentence obviously told the results to everyone present. As he said, something happened, but nothing happened - Zu Donglai was defeated last night, and the throne was still in the hands of Li Guanqi!

Outside, the night is slowly fading, and the sky is faintly showing a hint of golden red, and the sun will soon rise......
