Chapter 111: Facing the Holy Saint Again
Lu Bing's heart trembled, and he secretly said that it was not good, but his real name was Lu Bing written on the list, and now he was going to goof. In fact, Lu Bing wanted to say it a long time ago, but he never found a chance, and he was even more afraid that once he told them that he was Lu Bing, everyone would not be able to speak so freely.
This delay dragged on and on, and it dragged on to this day, Lu Bing decided to tell everyone as soon as possible, it is much better to confess leniently and resist strictly, and it is much better to explain it yourself than to ask others. But this Ouyang Qu is clearly deceiving himself, Yang Weijie looks innocent, if Ouyang Qu really knows the truth, then the informant is Yang Weijie, can Yang Weijie not be nervous?
Although Lu Bing wanted to confess as soon as possible, he said in his heart that he couldn't admit it if he was killed now, so he would better leave a letter to explain it in the future, which would be more tactful. So he pretended to be angry and hurriedly interrupted and said: "Ouyang Chongheng, what do you mean, you just said that I didn't get in, I'm a little rougher, can't I achieve such a bad grade, I can't even pass the Jinshi exam, and I also spread rumors from here to tell you that you have been admitted." ”
"That's not what I meant." Before Ouyang Qu finished speaking, he was accused by others of saying the wrong thing, and he had to be punished three times for drinking, Ouyang Qu drank the wine, and Lu Bing then said: "Tell you, I won't play well in this meeting, I'm going to play well, how can I still have Jingren's share of the Huiyuan, it's already in my bag, you look at it, I'm not blowing, when I get to the palace test, the champion is mine." ”
"Say you're fat and you're still panting, Chiming drinks, you have to be fined three glasses of wine!"
Everyone laughed and made a fuss, which temporarily put this matter over.

When Lu Bing and the others returned to the hotel. I was questioned by someone I knew in the past few days, and the innkeeper was very happy to hear about it, and waved the flag of the new five jinshi of the store at the door. In one inn, there are four second-class jinshi and one huiyuan, which is really a remarkable achievement.
The Confucian students who went to Beijing to take the exam were the most superstitious, and there were many people who lived in the list, and their good grades all depended on precedents, so there were all kinds of popular shops for the imperial examination. The shopkeeper's fantasy even saw the scene of the next imperial examination with a lot of money, and he was immediately overjoyed. So the shopkeeper immediately announced that the upper room was vacant. One room for several talented people, free room and board.
It's not that the shopkeeper is suddenly generous, in fact, it's also because of the fact that this hotel is in addition to Lu Bing and other five people. Only two of them were in the top three, and the rest of the landed Confucian students could only go home, so the room was empty. Rather than this, it is better to let these living signs such as Lu Bing play a role. This is a good time to get the word out. When the candidates returned to their hometowns, the reputation of his store spread all over the world. The shopkeeper held the pen and ink while lewd, hoping that a few of the people on the list could mention a word, and write down the names and nouns and paste them outside the door.
But no matter how everyone looked, they couldn't find Lu Bing, Zhao Shichun found a letter on the table, the text on the letter, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, strong and powerful, at first glance, it was written by a person who practiced martial arts or a person with superhuman arm strength, and it should be Lu Bing's words. Everyone was amazed when they saw it. It turns out that Lu Wei is Lu Bing, and Lu Chiming is Lu Wenfu.
After Gong Yongqing and Ouyang Qu heard the news, they were in a cold sweat and sweating. Thinking of the words that some time ago I talked about the government and criticized Jinyiwei, and even scolded Lu Bing, I don't feel a chill in my back, but I still look at what Lu Bing said and did, and I shouldn't blame a few people. However, even if Lu Bing is a very deep city and settles accounts after the autumn, he can only let it go so far.
However, Yang Weijie pointed to the last sentence in Lu Bing's letter to dispel everyone's doubts, and the letter was written like this: Surnames and names are just human titles, and only true and true feelings between heaven and earth are indestructible. Now, Wenfu told all the brothers, and I hope that you will forgive me, although we have not been dating for a long time, but we are like-minded, it is really the fate created by God, and I hope we are still the same.
The crowd looked at the letter and fell into a deep sigh.
The innkeeper was very smart this time, he didn't say anything about Lu Bing's coming to live in his store, because he also heard that although Lu Bing had many friends, he had more enemies, and his actions might not only cause Lu Bing's displeasure, but also make the enemies take advantage of themselves. Because in this way, it is equivalent to building publicity for Lu Bing, it is not easy to get Lu Bing, and it is as simple as pinching an ant to death to be angry with himself.
In short, the innkeeper also benefited greatly from this accidental wisdom, and at least avoided the disaster, and the remaining four people on the list alone were enough to make his inn prosperous.
A day later, outside the gate of Lufu in the capital, there were four people who came to visit, the porter asked the name and then went in Tongbing, after a while, Lu Bing led a little boy out of the house, the child was seven or eight years old, he looked very cute, and there was a little resemblance between the eyebrows and Lu Bing.
"Lu Wei." Yang Weijie smiled evilly and shouted at Lu Bing, with a slight hint of banter in his words.
The boy replied, "Exactly below." ”
Everyone laughed in unison, and Lu Bing shrugged helplessly: "I have no choice, I want to avoid many people, so I borrowed my brother's name, and now I don't need to, I can finally be myself again." Come on, come in and sit down, let's talk to each other, my farewell to everyone leaving the hotel is always in decline, it turns out that we haven't gotten good enough, I am really happy that you can come to see me today. ”
"We don't know any Lu Bing, this name is too high, and it's too far away from us, we only have Lu Wei and Lu Chiming in our hearts." Ouyang Qu said.
"Brother, what do they always tell me to do, and who is Lu Chiming?" Lu Wei asked suspiciously, Tong Yan was unscrupulous, and everyone laughed again, laughing so pure and happy.

"Lu Bing, don't take part in the palace exam." Zhu Houxi put down the fold in his hand and said to Lu Bing.
"Nope." Lu Bing replied coldly, and Zhu Houxi snorted and said, "When you see me, you will say no to me, and you let me reuse you." It's been more than two years, and your temper hasn't changed at all. ”
"If the minister changes, it's not Lu Bing over there, and there is one less person who can't say anything and dares to say anything. Tang Taizong Li Shimin has clouds, and people can be seen as a mirror. I am the mirror under His Majesty, although I don't have the talent of Wei Zheng, but I am willing to be Wei Zheng, is it possible that Your Majesty wants to break the mirror again? Lu Bing said.
Zhu Houxi smiled: "I haven't seen you for so long, but your mouth is good at kung fu, and the words you say are also crepe, revealing a poor sour taste, why am I so unaccustomed to it." But that's a good point, it's really different after reading some books, and there is more knowledge in my stomach, and I know how to discuss the past and the present, if I hadn't studied hard and studied hard, I really couldn't keep up with your train of thought. ”
Zhu Houxi said and suddenly sighed and said: "Now the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are submissive to me, I say that the east and they dare not say the west, this is about to refer to the deer as a horse, and only you dare to refuse me." You said that if they were all obedient and capable, they would just know how to be flexible, but if something happened, they wouldn't be useful one by one. There are a few of the top ones, but just like you, they always love to make me angry and collide with the holy car. ”
"I have watched a TV series called Lu Ding Ji, in which there is a Wei Xiaobao who said that those who love to shoot sycophants have no ability, and those who don't pat sycophants really have the ability. In short, this is basically the meaning, and thinking about it can really be used as a truth, although it is not absolute, but it is applicable in most cases. Regardless of whether you say that you are arrogant or pretentious, in short, anyone with a little ability has a proud backbone. Lu Bing said that he had already explained to Zhu Houxi what a TV series was, and I hope he still remembers it now, so he doesn't have to ask.
Sure enough, Zhu Houxi still remembered, didn't dwell on this, and continued to ask: "You mean that I can't discern pearls?" ”
"Look, look, you're more serious." Lu Bing said, saying that Lu Bing once again did not need to call Zhu Houyu the Holy Emperor or anything like that, Zhu Houyi frowned a little when he first heard it, but soon smiled, because in his opinion, this means that Lu Bing is not angry with him or still treats him as a brother, this kind of person is a caring person and can be reused, which is exactly what Lu Bing wants Zhu Houyu to think.
Zhu Houxi said: "I don't mean to deprive you of your qualifications to participate in the imperial examination, but even if you are admitted now, people in the world will talk about the unfairness of the imperial examination, after all, your relationship with me is obvious." I read your policy articles, and they are all very good, and it is normal to be on the list. I didn't expect that two years ago I was a martial artist, but now I have become a literati, and I can imagine the hard work I have put in, so you can understand that you are not willing to give up. ”
"I know that you want to break out of the world without relying on my grace. However, you have to take care of the national system, and the reason why the imperial examination system is strict is because it is paying attention to justice. That's right, you are literate, but I believe that the people of the world will believe it, and in the end, I will only say that you Lu Bing still relied on the Holy Grace to be on the list. When the time comes, you will still be an official, and the imperial examination since Sui will be ruined, what is it for, it is unfair. Zhu Houxi said earnestly.
Lu Bing nodded silently, Zhu Houxi saw that his persuasion was effective, and he couldn't help but step up the offensive and said: "You have now proved your Lu Bing's ability to the hundred officials, and now everyone in the court knows that Lu Bing has come to take the imperial examination now, and he has taken the second class exam with his own ability." Even if this result is a palace exam, it won't be too bad, right? Besides, the palace exam is presided over by me, and it doesn't mean much for you to take the exam. So Lu Bing, you have succeeded and proved your strength, so there is no need to insist anymore. I advise you to give up not because I don't think about you, but because of you, in case Confucianism makes trouble because of this, I and you can't hold back. Didn't Emperor Taizu Gao make a north-south list because of a coincidence, even Taizu was like this, not to mention me and you. Lu Bing, think about it. ”
"You said so, what else can I say, give you face, obey." Lu Bing smiled, and Zhu Houxi laughed: "This is a brother." After saying that, I was stunned, I haven't smiled happily like this for a long time, it's been a long time (to be continued......)
