Chapter 16: Rumors

The noble daughter of the clan hid her identity, sought elixir for today's son, went through hardships and dangers, was rescued by the talented son, and escorted all the way back to Beijing.

Since the people who believed in the royal palace on the official road openly welcomed back to the county lord, some rumors that seemed to be true and false spread in the huge Beiping City and the surrounding areas.

At first, these rumors seemed to be the same, although many additional contents were added by the brains of the good deeds, but they were basically a story of the positive energy of feudalism in which a talented man saves a beautiful woman and a scholar escorts a noble girl.

But one person faxes, three people talk about tigers, plus some enthusiastic people from the two major organizations of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Soon, the focus of the gossip and rumors of "welcoming back the noble daughter of the clan" soon disappeared from the head of the word "welcome back", but the process of "after the noble girl found the elixir, he returned to Beijing with Kuzhu Genius all the way" became the focus of this rumor.

I don't know if the top of the eunuch party changed this rumor and looked for the talent of the Lu family.

Lin Pingzhi's convoy and others marched towards the Beijing Division, which was obviously a good food and drink all the way, and under the welcome of literati and gentry from all over the world, the experience of coming to Beijing in an upright manner was just like the "ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties" experienced by Tang Seng in "Journey to the West".

In the "new version" of the rumored story, it is even more because Lin Pingzhi has the background of the Donglin Party, and the side describes a fictional, eunuch villain bosses, who cooperate with the most prestigious evil organization on the rivers and lakes "Sun Moon God Cult", or send his subordinates, or personally stop the killing······

All in all, what was written was a brain-opening and wonderful, and even after Lin Pingzhi himself read it, he saw a martial arts flavor written by Huang Yi in his previous life.

Of course, since there are wonderful plots such as conspiracies and fights, there is naturally no shortage of emotional passages that the ancient people like to see.

In the "new version" of the rumors, the bitter bamboo genius fought more than a dozen times for the beauties of the clan and the siege of the demon cultists, and after a certain ancient bamboo genius was injured, he made up a beautiful love picture of "staying in the wilderness temple at night, kissing the heart in the moonlight".

In the end, on the official road outside the city, when the talented son of Kuzhu and the noble daughter of the clan parted, they exchanged love tokens, and agreed on the happy ending of "under the title of the gold list, when the palace asks for marriage······

I have to say that this time, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian and his eunuchs were very successful in their plan against Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi, as a party concerned, only participated in three or five meetings among the Donglin literati after arriving in Beijing, and soon returned to the Fuwei Dart Bureau in a courtyard in Beijing, and went out to review.

By the end of the examination of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Pingzhi relied on the knowledge he had gained through his own efforts and the imperial examination materials of the Ming Dynasty recorded in the system, and successfully achieved the top five results in the examination.

At this time, Lin Pingzhi, who took the scholar Sijiu to check the list Shi Shiran went to the teahouse and restaurant in Beiping City, only to find that the rumors and barbarians between him, a bitter bamboo genius, and the noble daughter of the clan, gradually cut away in an uncontrollable direction.

If Lin Pingzhi was just a local native of this time and space, then there was a high probability that he would just laugh it off and say something delusional about the common people, instead of thinking about it.

After all, the relationship between him and the county lord is indeed innocent, and now this is a martial arts world full of miraculous skills, and there are medical masters in the Xinwang Mansion, so he can easily judge the Yuan Yin of the county lord's body.

But who made Lin Pingzhi the embodiment of power with the memory of the afterlife! Coupled with the investigation and filling of the gaps in the "system" of Goldfinger, he quickly noticed the conspiracy behind this rumor······

————————————————————

"Forty-nine!"

"You said that this time, young master, how about being a guest of honor this time?"

After the gathering of Fuzhou friends who took the same exam as the third and fifth parties, on the way back to his residence from the restaurant, Lin Pingzhi said to his scholar with a drunken smile.

"Young Master, you don't really like the county lord of Yu Ning, do you?"

Because he had been reading books for a few years when he was a scholar with Lin Pingzhi, the already intelligent scholar Sijiu naturally knew that Yibin was the name of the husband of the county lord of the clan, so he was immediately shocked and hurriedly continued to persuade.

"Although the old lady will be very surprised, but your career is not ······"

Lin Pingzhi, a bitter bamboo genius who is a descendant of Donglin, a young and famous, and talented man in the Central Plains, is undoubtedly one of the most promising young scholars today.

And in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the scholars and gentry families with a slightly higher status knew.

In today's world, marrying a clan girl is definitely not a good thing for a promising scholar, although there is no shortage of glory and wealth in his life, but because of the restrictions of the ancestors, he can't be a civil official with real power at all, not to mention what to show his talents, and manage the country's major policies.

"Forty-nine! Feelings, who can say for sure? ”

"She is beautiful, gentle, and filial to her elders, why is she not a good wife?"

"Also, you have been by my side for several years, and your vision is still only on the rivers and lakes and business roads."

When he said this, Lin Pingzhi's drunken eyes were half-squinted, ignoring the few sturdy men who were secretly paying attention to him around him, and several sturdy men dressed in coarse cloth clothes who were disguised as passers-by on the street, deliberately said in a small voice.

"When the son is young today, what is the form of the imperial court?"

"The eunuch family is dominant, and I only have one Jianxia Gong and a few bosses left in Donglin to support it."

"Even if I enter the Huan Sea, how can I exert my knowledge······

His words did not continue, but pretended to be drunk, and fell on the scholar Sijiu at once, so that Sijiu hurriedly called the four or five idlers around the street to help, and carried his young master back to his mansion.

————————————————

What the scholar Sijiu didn't know was that the young master of his family passed the words of the bitter bamboo talent, and soon spread it to the case of a few people who could really be the masters in Beijing.

The mansion of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, the big member of the three products, Li Biao of Jianxia, is one of the few Donglin Party bigwigs in Beiping.

Ten years ago, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Gu Dazhang and other upright ministers of Donglin were expelled from the court by the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian by treacherous tricks, and he and several elderly Donglin Qinggui officials were left to stick to their posts, maintaining the declining influence of the Donglin lineage in the upper echelons of the court.

"It's good that he can think so."

"It's really hasty to let Donglin's juniors go to Beijing this time, I'm really sorry Brother Dazhang!"

The old man with gorgeous hair looked at the several Donglin officials standing in front of him, and whispered with some regret.

"If he really steps into the court at this time, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to start than you!"

Originally, he was a eunuch who was bought by Donglin in the inner court of the Forbidden City, and after reflecting the information that the Son of Heaven was seriously ill and bedridden, this allowed the young man of Donglin's lineage to enter Beijing to take the exam quickly.

If the information is true, then the Son of Heaven should have issued an order to choose another date for the examination before the examination, so that the children from all over the country can return to their hometowns, and it will not bring any loss to the descendants of Donglin.

And they, Donglin, will also take advantage of this opportunity to launch a big plan to take away part of the power of the eunuch party when the emperor is seriously ill and the imperial power is silent for a short time.

But Li Biao never expected that this intelligence from the inner court turned out to be fake!

Now that the examination has been successfully passed, the palace examination will be held soon, and at that time, the son of heaven, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time to do Luban work, will definitely come forward to inspect it in person.

It can be seen that the Son of Heaven is not sick at all, or he is not seriously ill at all.

If the Son of Heaven had not been in serious trouble, then the eunuch faction that currently has imperial power attached to it and can ask for a decree to mobilize the clan to worship the masters at any time will be a truly invincible bureaucratic group with no weaknesses, and their "big plan" has no possibility of success at all!

A young Donglin official sighed when he heard Li Biao's words.

"Alas! What the old man said is very true. ”

Another middle-aged official remembered that every time he wanted to rise up in these years, he was embarrassed and despised by the lower-level officials who were attached to the eunuch party, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and then shouted angrily in a low voice.

"It's all to blame for Eunuch Li in the inner court, we spent so much money this time that we actually fooled us with a false information!"
