More than 200 scholars stood in the main hall of the imperial study, connected with a group of ministers, soldiers and horses, and a group of people from the brocade guard, and the hall was black and suppressed a crowd.

"Presumably you have all heard about Wu Yong's father and son, I don't want to say much about the relevant situation, here I only reborn a little bit for everyone, I hate the person who deceived me the most!"

Wang Mang sat high on the dragon chair, looked at the crowd with a gentle face, and waved his hand: "Where is Wang Dun?"

"The students are here. A long, well-sensed scholar walked out of the crowd and bowed to Wang Mang with a calm face.

Wang Dun is indeed a world-famous talent, and he is also the top of the list of scholars announced by the Ministry of Rites before, Wang Mang has long heard of this person's reputation in the teahouse in Chang'an.

Now seeing me, Wang Mang secretly praised that he really looked like a natural official, and looking at the entire group of scholars, there was no one who looked more square than Wang Dun.

"Wang Dun, you are the person who was at the top of the list announced before, if I go down, your top spot will be gone, to be precise, if your grades are not good today, then you are not the top of the list, what do you think. Wang Mang looked at Wang Dun thoughtfully.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. Wang Dun said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Students don't care about the false name of the top of the list, as long as the students are bathed in the grace of His Majesty, besides, the students are very confident, and they are bound to win the top position!"

If you just listened to Wang Dun's previous words, you would think that Wang Dun was a person who slacked a beard and shot horses, but when the later words came out, it showed Wang Dun's life's talents.

Wang Mang didn't care about the confidence in Wang Dun's tone, and said with a smile: "Very good, I like confident people like you." ”

Waving his hand to signal Wang Dun to retreat, Wang Mang said again: "Where are the eight monsters, the six immortals of Peach Valley, and the seven heroes of Biansai?"

At that time, there were twenty-one scholars who went in response to the call, and they were divided into three lines to meet Wang Mang, and Wang Mang knew that the eight people standing together were the eight monsters.

Raising his eyebrows, Wang Mang smiled and said, "Today's events, in a way, are all triggered by you and others, what do you think?"

"The students have no idea. Everyone looked at each other, and the last scholar who looked the oldest said respectfully to Wang Mang: "When I first heard the news, the students and others were originally very frightened, but then I thought that as soon as this matter came out, Your Majesty could arrange a thorough investigation, and the students were very happy, thinking that this is the blessing of my Great Qin and the Holy Ming of Your Majesty!"

Wang Mang looked at this scholar, thought for a while, and said, "You are Gao Shi, I remember you, to be precise, I heard Meng Yi talk about you, saying that you are the talent of the pillars of Great Qin." ”

"Students should not be praised by His Majesty, they just do what the people of Great Qin should do. "Gao Shidao.

Wang Mang nodded and said, "You can also retreat." ”

Gao Shi and the others retreated, Wang Mang looked at the crowd, and suddenly pointed to a thin-looking scholar and said, "You stand up." ”

"Students, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" As soon as the scholar walked out of the crowd with excitement on his face, he pushed the golden mountain and fell to his knees on the ground.

"I remember that your name is Wang Zhi, and although you are ranked third among the examinees this time, your article has really shocked many ministers, and there are even ministers who have asked me for someone. Wang Mang looked at Wang Zhi and smiled.

Wang Zhi said excitedly: "In this way, Your Majesty also thinks that what the student said is right." ”

"Yes?" Wang Mang smiled, pointed to the crowd and said: "You wrote the theory of friends, saying that there are small circles in the court of Great Qin, and these small circles have their own little ideas, and now, you tell me, is there really a small circle in my court?

"Yes!" Wang Zhi said, and the faces of countless people on the spot changed greatly.

Friends, it's not just two words, it's two words to lose your head, hearing that the Son of Heaven asked Wang Zhi to speak, Zhao Xin came down on the spot in a cold sweat, and secretly prayed in his heart that Wang Zhi, the ancestor, would not talk nonsense, that would be a dead person!

And if something really happens, he, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will stand up and take the blame, what is the matter with this Nima!

Zhao Xindu, who prides himself on being a humble gentleman, scolded his mother in his heart, and the other ministers present almost scolded, which bastard recorded this Wang Zhi in.

Wang Zhi didn't seem to feel the atmosphere in the room suddenly tense, he settled down, and said: "Your Majesty, the students don't know anything about the affairs of the court, and they can't say anything to the circle of the court......

Hearing Wang Zhi speak like this, everyone present suddenly felt relieved, and felt that this kid was not hopeless.

But Wang Zhizhi changed his words, and directly pointed to the twenty-one people including the six immortals of Peach Valley who had just stood back in the crowd: "But, Your Majesty, have you seen these people, friends for many years, even if they stand on top of the imperial palace today, they are still standing together, they are the circle!"

The Peach Valley Six Immortals stood up at that time and said, "Wang Zhi, our Peach Valley Six Immortals have never offended you, don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Zhi seemed to have obtained some evidence, ignored Jufeng, looked directly at Wang Mang and said, "Your Majesty, you saw that the students didn't say much yet, so they stood up impatiently." ”

Jufeng was furious and wanted to say something, but let the other five immortals stop, and Li Xiao, the boss of the six immortals of Peach Valley, came out and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, students and others have no idea of establishing a small circle and a partisan, and the students' loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon!"

Wang Zhi snorted: "That's what Fang Xizhi said, Wei Changhong said that, and Wu Yong said the same. ”

Fang Xizhi, Wei Changhong, Wu Yong, they were all former Great Qin ministers, court bosses, they kept saying that they were loyal and patriotic on weekdays, but in the end, they were all traitors of Great Qin, and now they are all conferred on the head, and they can hear that Wang Zhi compares himself and other human beings to these three traitorous ministers, even if Li Xiao is the person with the best temper among the six immortals in Peach Valley, he can't help but look angry.

Without waiting for Li Xiao to speak, Wang Mang waved his hand, looked at Wang Zhi and said directly: "Okay, I understand you as a person, and I also understand why someone is so interested in you, and even came to me for the first time, so you can stand down." ”

When Wang Zhi heard this, he retreated directly, and the six immortals of Peach Valley glared at Wang Zhi resentfully, it seemed that in a moment, the two sides were already enemies of life and death, and the faces of the Seven Heroes of Biansai and others were not good-looking, although Wang Zhi only named the names of the six immortals of Peach Valley, but they couldn't avoid Wang Zhi's so-called "circle".

Wang Dunruo looked at Wang Zhi for some reason, and felt that his family was really an interesting person, and there must be a competition in the court in the future.

Wang Mang lost the interest in continuing to roll names, and said, "Where is Zhao Xin?"

"Wechen is here. Zhao Xin respectfully stepped out of the ranks, kowtowed to Wang Mang and said, "Listen to Your Majesty's holy decree." ”

Wang Mang nodded secretly at Zhao Xin's attitude, and said: "You are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the examiner was originally a matter of the Ministry of Rites, now you can make the question!"

Zhao Xin was stunned!
