Everyone present knew that there was only one secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the current dynasty, and that was the notorious traitor Su Qinglang.

This person entered the imperial court at the age of eighteen, and climbed to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at the age of twenty-three, which can be called a miracle in the officialdom of the imperial court.

However, although it is a miracle, this official rose too fast, there are still some reasons behind it, after all, some people have been in the officialdom for decades, and they are just a petty official of the fourth grade.

However, Su Qinglang was able to go from a white coat to a second-class member of the Ministry of Rites in five years, and it was obviously not enough to rely on lack of virtue and shamelessness, which showed that this person still had some scheming.

Looking at the harem of the court and the opposition, there are emperors and princes, concubines and princesses, and even the powerful prime minister of the dynasty is coaxed by his three-inch lotus tongue, and he takes this person as his humerus henchman.

There are even rumors that the emperor will definitely take Su Qinglang to participate in the palace test, and according to the practice of previous years, the quality of the palace test results depends on Su Qinglang's words, so that even Lord Jia Dexinjia, the secretary of Changlu Temple, can't sit still.

In fact, this Jia Dexin is an official eunuch family, a scholarly family, starting from his great-grandfather, and has been a scholar for several generations.

His son Jia Siqi, young and intelligent, coupled with diligence and studiousness, has always been a model of a talented man in Chang'an City.

Just looking at his ability to win the first place in the township examination and the general examination, you know that this person is not in vain, in fact, he has a certain ability, but officialdom is officialdom after all, not a place where you can climb up if you have the ability, more often, you also need some connections.

As Lord Jia, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, he naturally understands the truth of this.

So he squeezed out a few thousand taels of silver from his own treasury, plus a few eye-catching treasures, and took advantage of the dark night when no one was paying attention, and secretly took his son to Su Qinglang's mansion.

Originally, this Jia Siqi was reluctant to go through the back door, after all, in his opinion, Su Qinglang's reputation was too stinky, and he was a cold, lonely, and unstained scholar, how could he be in the same stream with such a person and ruin his good name for nothing?

However, he couldn't help but save up his father's threats, and in addition, as a well-known merry and talented man in Chang'an City, he had to watch the title of champion Lang fall to others because he didn't give Su Qinglang a gift, and obviously the latter made him even more unbearable.

If his career is really in the hands of Su Qinglang, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and he can barely bow his head during the special period, it is not impossible for him, so he endured the thousands of reluctances in his heart, and he still pulled down his face to find Su Qinglang's door.

It's a pity that when I went last night, Su Qinglang was not at home, and I heard that he was left at home by the prime minister's son for the night.

When he thought about it afterwards, he was secretly happy, feeling that God knew that he and his father knew about it, and he still kept his character as a scholar in the end.

Unexpectedly, there is no impermeable wall under the sky, but it was shaken out by this person in front of everyone.

Thinking back on this person's previous words and deeds, Jia Siqi suddenly realized that this person deliberately demolished his platform and smashed his field.

Although what the other party said was the truth, in order to save face, he still had to learn from the hard-billed duck and the green-haired parrot in the cage.

With a humble heart, he quibbled: "It's purely a fictitious thing, how can Brother Tai talk about it?" ”

I felt that denial alone was not enough, so he immediately took a fierce medicine: "A person like Su Qinglang is despicable and brazen, who wants to be with him?" ”

The man in white raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said meaningfully, "I heard that Ling Zun has a very good personal relationship with Lord Su, and I thought that Brother Tai could take advantage of Lord Su's east wind, soar up, and make steady progress!" ”

Jia Siqi was very angry, waved his long sleeves, and denied it: "There is no such thing, my father is honest and loyal, and often denounces the country thieves such as Su Qinglang at home, how can he be in the company of a courtier villain like him?" On weekdays, the officials of the same dynasty are perfunctory on the surface, how to have a good personal relationship, Brother Tai is insulting his father's face when he says this! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" The man in white raised an orchid finger, covered his lips with his sleeves, and smiled beautifully.

However, the look between his eyebrows did not show any guilt and apology, but was more like a joke.

picked up a folding fan from the table, played with it in his hand leisurely, and exclaimed: "With Brother Tai's upright character, if he enters the court one day, it will definitely be the gospel of the people of Limin, and the nemesis of traitorous villains, especially the one named Su Qinglang, I am afraid that he will be so scared that he can't even sleep." ”

These words sound like good words, like a jar of osmanthus wine sealed in the old cellar, and I only feel sweet and dizzy when I drink it.

But Jia Siqi always felt that there seemed to be a smell of urine in this osmanthus wine, and for a while, he didn't let him drink it, nor did he vomit.

I had to be humble again: "Brother Tai has been promoted, but he is only adhering to the teachings of his teacher and father, and everything must be based on etiquette, loyalty and filial piety first, compared with others, it is actually far behind." ”

Hearing this, the man in white burst out laughing, pouting and revealing a slight smile.

said in an understated tone: "Brother Tai doesn't have to be humble, Master Jia's upbringing still knows a little bit about it." ”

Holding the folding fan in his backhand, he picked up the wine on the table, raised his glass to Jia Siqi and said: "It's a coincidence today, I am really fortunate to be able to meet Brother Jia here, I wish Brother Jia a glass here, I wish Brother Jia can win the championship in one fell swoop, and in the future, he will enter the court, punish adultery and eliminate evil, and eradicate villains like Su Qinglang." ”

"That's right, eradicate a villain like Su Qinglang!"

The others passed by this man's fanning of the flames, and all had expressions of righteous indignation and impassionedness.

One by one, like the heroes of the green forest, they all raised their heads and drank all the water and wine in the glasses, and even put down the wine glasses much more than usual, as if to show their integrity and determination to move forward.

Jia Siqi was completely stunned, stupid, and stunned this time, in fact, he didn't expect that things would develop to this point, and he didn't want things to develop to this point.

After all, Su Qinglang is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is also the young master of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess, and his status is not something that he can shake as a small tribute.

His father is only Changlu Siqing, and he is only a fourth-grade official, even if he intends to stammer in front of Su Qinglang, he is afraid that Su Qinglang will not necessarily take a look.

And he does have some talent, and he should have a future in officialdom, but he is not to the point where he can compete with Su Qinglang.

I wanted to draw a clear line with Su Qinglang and maintain a balance, but I didn't expect to be saved by a few words from this person, and I actually pushed myself into such an embarrassing situation.

This has not yet entered the court as an official, and he has offended the extra-big celebrity in front of the emperor, so his heart is a little empty, and he feels a little difficult to ride a tiger.

But this person, it is difficult to put down the shelf when he comes to him, especially in front of these classmates, he can't lose face as a turtle with a shrunken head.

can only barely support the dignity of being a child of an official eunuch, facing the attitude of everyone, he smiled stiffly, and raised his hand to take a sip of wine, but some fine sweat couldn't help but ooze out of his forehead.

I also heard a scholar beside him say with a depressed and frustrated indignation: "Like this kind of treacherous and loyal person, if he thinks that Brother Qi wins the champion, he should write a letter and give a direct advice, let the emperor cut off his official title, drive him out of the imperial city, and exile him for thousands of miles!" ”

Jia Siqi snorted, the wine in his mouth almost squirted out, and seeing the man in white leisurely, he added approvingly: "It's best to divide the corpses of five horses and expose them to the wilderness." ”

"That's right, the corpses of the five horses are divided and exposed to the wilderness!" Everyone immediately responded and applauded.

Jia Siqi's face was ugly, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, couldn't help but look at the man in white, and asked: "I don't know the name of Brother Tai, I still want to make friends with Brother Tai." ”

"Me?" The man seemed a little surprised when he heard this.

Then he turned his body sideways, cocked Erlang's legs, and posed in an unruly manner.

Hula unfolded the folding fan, and showed a smiling face to everyone that was fascinated and unpaid: "No, it's Su Qinglang." ”
