265 Ghosts and gods are as unpredictable as demons, and murderous intentions have risen again
As mentioned last time, Pan Shilang and fellow painter Dong Shen went to Liang's Mansion, because the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy was about to take the big exam, Dong Shen asked Liang Wenzhen for advice on the way of painting. [Ran^Text^Library] Liang Wenzhen talked about the college entrance examination essay questions in the overseas countryside, it turned out that it was like the imperial examination experienced by Pan Shilang, and many people racked their brains to guess the questions. Looking at Dong Shen's painful look, Liang Wenzhen remembered the anecdote of reading Song Huizong in the past, and asked if the 'Deep Mountain Tibetan Ancient Temple' had been examined, Dong Shen said that he had already taken the exam and had the best answer. Asked about 'stepping on flowers and returning to horseshoe incense' but never taken the test, Liang Wenzhen believed that fifty or sixty percent would pass the test, and taught Dong Shen how to conceive. Liang Wenzhen arranged to return to Shandong, and prepared to take Bai Yujiao, Hua Sumei, Jiang Zhao, Yang Xun, Xu Fan, Zhao Min, Cai Yan and others on the second day.
In the evening, the nursing home came to report, there was a guest to visit, Liang Wenzhen went out to the door, the visitor said that he was a friend of Dong Shen, and he was also preparing to participate in the examination of the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy. "Master Taifu, in Xia Huo Chao, is a friend of Dong Shen, I heard that Taifu is good at calligraphy and painting, and sharpens guns in battle, I also want to ask Taifu one or two, please Taifu adult beauty." Huo Chao said.
"Whoever says that I am proficient in painting, if I say that I can draw some institutional drawings, I can, if I say that I can paint landscapes, people, flowers, birds, insects and fish, I don't know at all." Liang Wen really thought it was very funny, it seemed that Dong Shen was boasting outside, which made people misunderstand. Fame is a thing that brings benefits most of the time, and people know that fame, fame, fame and fortune sometimes inevitably bring trouble. "Oh, no, Dong Gongzi said that Taifu is a master in painting, no matter what, Taifu not only mentioned him, but also mentioned it in the next two. Taifu should know that inspiration, inspiration is 12 points important, if there is no inspiration, simply don't take the test, the emperor's eyes are very poisonous. Huo Chao said pitifully.
"I don't know how to paint, and I haven't experienced the painting exam, Brother Huo, you say, what advice can I give you." Liang Wenzhen didn't want to invite the other party into the house, he just wanted to send the seeker away quickly. "Taifu is not good at being selfish, Dong Shendao Taifu has given him a lot of inspiration, so I don't have any opinions when it's my turn. No wonder some people say that Taifu officials have a big frame and look down on people. Huo Chao seemed to plan not to give him a sermon, so he became entangled.
"How can you be so unreasonable, I, the prince and the prince, am an idle job, but in fact I am still an ordinary commoner, when do you look down on people?" Liang Wenzhen was always young, and when he was provoked, he couldn't hold his breath. "Since Taifu doesn't look down on people, he should tell me something about how to take the exam." Huo Chao was like a scoundrel, and he hit Liang Wenzhen.
"Okay, it's important to go home and eat. If you encounter this topic, you'd better draw two old men playing chess under the tree, understand? On the top of a horse, draw two butterflies fluttering around the horse. Go back and think about it, okay! Liang Wenzhen was impatient, so he wanted to turn around and enter the house. Step on the flowers and return to the horseshoe incense, right, draw chess, butterflies follow the horses? Okay, thank you, Taifu. Before Huo Chao finished speaking, Liang Wenzhen had already entered, and the nursing home closed the door.
"Stepping on the flowers and returning to the horseshoe incense, if it is really this topic, it is very interesting. Taifu is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and he said that he had to get the news. Well, don't let anyone know, tomorrow should be the subject of no doubt. Huo Chao looked at the gate of the Liang Mansion, took a deep look, and said to himself: "Taifu is a very good person, some people just chew the root of their tongue." Little Jiaoniang, you are eighteen ......" Huo Chao put his hands behind his back and hummed a little song to himself.
On the second day, Liang Wenzhen and the others got up early, had breakfast, drove four carriages, and set off with six horses. A carriage was loaded with a variety of goods, four coachmen each drove a cart, and a groom was responsible for the management of six horses. The route has been set, first to the northeast, through Dezhou to the boundary of Beijing Daming, to Jizhou and then through Cangzhou to the south, back to Qinghe, the road is much farther. Liang Wenzhen's purpose was to receive Miss Xu and return to Shandong together.
Xiaoxing stayed overnight, more than one day, Liang Wenzhen and his entourage had not yet arrived in Beijing, but something happened in Kaifeng Tokyo. In the big exam of the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, the solemn examination room of Emperor Daojun came up with the exam question on the spot: step on the flowers and return to the horseshoe incense. Many candidates from various states and counties gasped when they heard the question. It's good to go to the department, and the emperor has come up with some strange topics, which is really life-threatening.
At a time when hundreds of candidates were scratching their ears and cheeks, having a headache, and not being able to put down their pen for a long time, two candidates were happy in their hearts. The first one was, of course, Dong Shen, who was stunned when he heard this topic, and couldn't believe his ears. Motioning for the invigilator to come to him, he asked the exam questions again, and after making sure of it, he was still beating a drum in his heart, like the eager drums of a battlefield attack, and his hands trembled so much that he couldn't draw at all.
Taifu Liangwen is really a human or a ghost, or a fairy, he really guessed the topic correctly, the world's poetry and books are as vast as a sea of smoke, how can it be just this sentence. At that time, Hua Sumei also said that the Taifu was not a roundworm in the emperor's abdomen, how could she know what the emperor was going to do. Dong Shen pinched his thigh and screamed in pain, only to know that he was not dreaming again. After thinking about it, Liang Wenzhen turned out to be just a businessman, and winning the championship in the Keju competition was nothing, but because of his rescue work, he was named the prince and the prince, and he must have been deeply favored by the emperor, and the emperor inadvertently revealed the exam questions to Liang Wenzhen, so what's so strange.
God is going to help me, because of the relationship with Pan Shilang, I was able to know Taifu, and I was able to be admitted to Hanlin, thank heaven and earth for the emperor's thanks, and thank all the people who want to be thanked. Dong Shen was in a brisk mood, his mood gradually stabilized, he was confident, his pen walked the dragon and snake, and he splashed freely on the rice paper. Yesterday, I carefully practiced drawing horses and butterflies, and at this time, I didn't even need to play a draft, and I drew it vividly. The horses are sturdy, munching on the grass leisurely, and the butterflies are dancing, as if the fragrance of the horse's hooves is emanating from it, mixed with the scent of ink, and it is rushing to the face.
The moment Huo Chao heard the question, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and thanked Liang Wenzhen a thousand times. I didn't expect that Taifu was so powerful, but he was so kind, and he had the heart to promote the juniors, and really revealed the exam questions to himself. Painting two immortals in the shade of the tree to play chess, talking about leisurely and elegant, it is not easy to say, painting butterflies and other flowers, birds, insects and fish, is their best at it, not to mention.
Scanning the audience, I saw that many candidates in the same subject were still shaking their heads, and they couldn't put down the pen for a long time. Before the painting is finished, you can see that a masterpiece is about to come out.
In less than half an hour, Dong Shen took the lead in handing in the papers, Huo Chao saw it, and also handed in the test papers, and the two of them left the examination room with their front and back feet, so they naturally wanted to go outside to celebrate. When the other candidates saw that someone had already handed in the papers, they were even more panicked, and some of them hurriedly put down their pens and began to draw.
Emperor Daojun saw that someone was handing in the papers, and asked the invigilator to answer the papers, first saw Huo Chao's old man game diagram, shook his head, and then picked up Dong Shen's look. Suddenly, Emperor Daojun slapped the table, his face smiling, and his head bowed slightly. Unexpectedly, as soon as this section was handed in, he had such an outstanding performance, but he was afraid that he would be recorded as the first place. Don't worry, maybe there is a better answer, Emperor Daojun thought.
The emperor casually opened Huo Chao's paintings, his painting skills were not bad, the method was used wisely, and the demeanor of the two old men was vivid. Oh, the horse on the chessboard is drawn very carefully, two butterflies, one of which is still on top. The horse that stepped on the flower and returned to the horseshoe incense, this guy was very thoughtful, the horse that stepped on the flower and returned to the horse in chess was referred to, and the butterfly smelled the aroma of the horse, chess, with the same sound as the aroma, did not also just prompt the aroma. "Humph!" Yes, very good. Emperor Daojun nodded again and again and laughed. If the previous one is the first name, this one seems to be the second place, and the emperor secretly thought.
On the second day after the exam, the imperial list was announced, and sure enough, the number of admitted students was very small, only five, but the top two were Dong Shen and Huo Chao. The good news went to Pan Shilang's house, and Dong Shen learned that it was very lively. Huo Chao received good news at the inn and invited many friends to celebrate at Xinghualou. The two also learned that the emperor granted them the position of a student in the academy, which can be described as a joy.
There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. After only two days of joy, Huo Chao was captured by Dali Temple, thrown into prison, and tortured. It turned out that Huo Chao and the candidates of the same subject were sent to the school, and between the staggered plans, they couldn't help but be proud, and leaked out the things that had already been known about the exam questions.
Chen Shixi, the secretary of Dali Temple, did not dare to slack off, and arrested Huo Chao to the case, under torture, Huo Chao couldn't stand it, and confessed that it was Taifu Liang Wenzhen who told him the exam questions. Dali Temple reported the results of the interrogation to the emperor, so he ordered the arrest of Liang Wenzhen, and the prince Zhao Huan heard the news and went to the emperor's imperial study.
"My father has always given exam questions on the spot, how did Taifu know the exam questions? What's more, this matter is Huo Chao's one-sided statement, Taifu is already on his way back to Shandong, and he must find out the truth, not too hasty. "The crown prince said to the emperor." This matter is also strange, Huo Chao should not dare to hide or lie under severe punishment, but how Liang Wenzhen knew the topic is very strange. "Daojun Emperor said. Thinking about it at this time, it is indeed full of doubts.
"Father, on the day of the exam, Taifu had already left Beijing, and with common sense, it was impossible for Taifu to help Huo Chao cheat. And now Huo Chao confessed that he went to the Liang Mansion the day before to ask Taifu for advice, and Taifu casually stepped on flowers to return to horseshoe incense, and also taught him to draw the old man's game, and there were butterflies on the chess horse. Can you remember who you have addressed and the subject of the subject? Prince Zhao Huan analyzed.
"How can I bring up an exam question to someone, this exam question is actually an idea of me on the spot." Emperor Daojun turned his back and said a little irritably. "Father, could it be a complete coincidence that Taifu also thought of this sentence?" The crown prince didn't want Liang Wenzhen to bear the big crime of cheating in the field, and the emperor had already made it clear that the topic was a temporary thought of him.
"There is such a coincidence in the world, could it be that he Liang Wenzhen can guess the exam questions in the future? By the way, Tong Guan once reported to me that you often invite him to drink, have you ever heard that he can know the future? "Emperor Daojun's head is too big, and he can't find a reasonable explanation, for the wise and wise Son of Heaven, it is a worrying thing.
"Father, son-in-law and Taifu often talk, Taifu this person is insightful, inspiring words, the trend of history, the cause of all things, often in a word, to the point, but if you can predict the future, it is difficult to judge." The prince answered. "This person is too scheming, and he has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but I'm afraid that you can't control it, so you should get rid of it as soon as possible." Emperor Daojun said in a deep voice. There was murder in the tone, which made people shudder. Although Master Lin Lingsu said that Liang Wen is really his own lucky star, but this person is like a demon, no matter how blessed it is, if the Zhao family is lost because of this, it will be a big disaster. Emperor Daojun had a clear mind and had already considered this festival.
A few days ago, Taifu said goodbye to his sons, saying that he would go back to Shandong to pick up his family and live in Tokyo. Moreover, from the usual understanding of Erchen, Taifu does not like power, he is only keen on business to make profits, and his character is pure, so he should not be a big traitor. Please ask my father to take a look. "The prince needs to be assisted by a capable person, and he is not willing to lose a virtuous minister.
"Okay, if you suffer a big loss in the future, don't blame me for not mentioning you. Huo Chao can't be pardoned, I won't kill him, I want him to die of old age in prison. Stand down. "Emperor Daojun made up his mind." Blessed father. The prince took his leave.
When Zhang Tianjue and Liu Kun heard the news, they discussed with Lin Feng, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of the fraud case in the field to get rid of the crown prince and the prince Liang Wenzhen. "The lower officials have been degraded, and they have no intention of coming forward again, not to mention that there are two virtuous people, and they should be able to succeed." Lin Feng excused himself. "A small setback, Master Lin will lose his fighting spirit, how to achieve great things?!" Zhang Tianjue persuaded. It's a pity that Lin Feng has made up his mind, and the two of them left in a hurry.
Naturally, fraud in the field is a big crime, but it has been investigated and dealt with by Dali Temple, if Liang Wenzhen really has something to do with it, it is a capital crime, and there is no need to take action at home. Lin Feng had already thought about it and was unwilling to participate in it and do useless work. The plan in his heart is to sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the wind surge. If Liang Wenzhen escaped this catastrophe, he still had a trick in his hand, that is, Liang Wenzhen deceived the monarch, created a dangerous situation, and almost killed the emperor, and then pretended to save the driver, in order to deceive the favor of the saint. It's just that the evidence hasn't been found for a while, as long as you have the heart and catch Liang Wenzhen's exact handle, then it will be the day when you turn over.
Lin Feng was thoughtful, the emperor had demoted him to the sixth grade, and he was a right-handed palace cultivator, but where would he be willing to fail, he had already planned in his heart. It's a pity that Liang Wenzhen only said that he would knock Lin Feng down, and he would be able to rest easy, if he knew Lin Feng's viciousness, he was afraid that he would not hesitate to use force to eliminate him from the **.
On the way back to Shandong, Liang Wenzhen and others will inevitably encounter Liangshan bandits, and some bad things will inevitably provoke them. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
