The next day, the singing list was transmitted: the first and third Cijin Shi and the first, the champion Wu Gu was wrong, the list was Qin Shanglu, and Xie Biwei was the flower.

The first three people were immediately conferred, the champion was awarded the Hanlin Academy for revision, and the Bangyan and Tanhua were awarded for the Hanlin Academy for editing; Second, the top three Jinshi sixteen, the list is as follows: Chaowen, Lin Fei, Duan Zhengxu, Qin Bai, Ban Shizhao, Nangong Wei, Duguru, Chen Shi, Liang Su, Mo Ming, Zhou Yan, Su Xiu, Bai Yi, Yeshuang, Leng Ao, Zhuyue, the second and third class Jinshi If they want to be appointed to the official, they must go to the Baohe Hall and then go through the court examination, choose the merit Hanlin, and the rest will be distributed to the departments as directors or go to other places to serve.

After the palace was hand-picked, the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, holding the holy decree in their hands, sounded the gong to open the way, and the new branch champion was wearing a red robe, a hat with a palace flower, and a high-headed horse, walking on the royal street of the imperial city, boasting about the official for three days, and accepting the congratulations of all the people. Because of the emperor's holy decree, no matter what official he heard, he must kneel down to greet him, kowtow to the holy decree, and shout long live.

Exactly: the spring breeze has no intention of horseshoe disease, and one day to see all the flowers.

On the night of the unveiling, the emperor personally set up the 'Qionglin Banquet', invited the Jinshi, and gave the house to the champion and the list eye. The Qionglin banquet is a state banquet, and on the banquet, Yale is played, and a song and dance are leveled. The relatives of the emperor and the elders of the court all came with bony eyes, busy looking for their favorite son-in-law for their families, adding fresh blood to the family, and cultivating new forces.

"Congratulations to Wu Gongzi Lianzhong Sanyuan!" Jia Rudao is the most everywhere, holding a wine glass to toast with Wu Gucuo, the princess who was previously around the Gu Cuo said that he was happy to climb the kiss, saw Jia Nidao coming, they all waved their hands to him, and said respectfully: "Xiangguo is safe!" He consciously or unconsciously dispersed, one because his popularity was really despicable, and the other because he was indeed a high and powerful person, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he looked for someone to hide.

"The bones are wrong, thank you for the wine." Wu Gu took the wine glass in Jia Rudao's hand and drank it all, but he didn't seem to be ecstatic as a new champion.

"Wu Gongzi is a young talent, three yuan and the first, and he looks dignified, and now he is still so humble and open-minded," Jia seemed to compliment, and then went straight to the point, after all, the champion is the most beautiful role in the Qionglin banquet, and has always been the first choice of the emperor's relatives, he doesn't want to wait for guessing, but let other people take advantage of the loophole: "I don't know if there are wives and concubines at home?" ”

"No, I didn't." Wu Gu was too strong to drink, and he had only drunk three glasses, and now he blushed and said, "It's just that I already have a favorite wife." ”

"Oh? What kind of woman is this, with such a blessing, can you tell the old body a thing or two. Jia Rudao smirked: "But the imperial family?" That tone, it seems that as long as he is not a royal prince, he can dig into his corner and do what he wants.

"Gu Cuo was born in the countryside, and he can't cling to the royal family," Wu Gucuo's eyebrows rose, and a smile climbed up his face, which was the charming smile of the green fox, and all the silence was love and pity: "The person in my heart, with me, has no noble family, but, with a smile, every word and deed, even if it is all rural slang, in my eyes, it is also the best." ”

"There is a Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover," the emperor was sitting on the main seat at this moment, looking affectionately at Tang An'an, who was playing the liuqin beside him, and leaned over and whispered: "The person he is talking about, is it you?" ”

Tang An'an's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and his expression was gloomy, covering his originally bright face with a faint shadow. She was silent, not knowing how to reply, and did not reply, and the emperor did not blame, because he did not want anyone to answer when he said this. Those who are are self-right, and those who are not are self-right. Everyone has their own answer in their mind.

"I don't know who your name is?" Jia Rudao asked again and again, and the details were so detailed that people felt that he was really in charge, and even had ill intentions, and even the emperor on the side smiled and picked up the wine glass, with a lively attitude, to see if Wu Gu answered wrongly.

"The daughter I am talking about is a guest in King Rong's mansion at this moment, and she is going to a wedding banquet. If the adult can let her move out of the house," Wu Gu mistakenly avoided talking about him left and right, according to the fox's exquisite heart, how could he not know that above the official court, if there is such a question, there may not be goodwill, so he sent him an army: "I will take her and worship the lord together." ”

As soon as the words came out, Jia Rudao and the emperor were all surprised, each with a ghost.

"What a champion Lang, the city government in my heart, really deep," Jia Rudao thought: "I originally wanted to set him up, but he was tricked first." Who doesn't know that King Rong and I are evenly matched in life and death at the moment, and he wants to fake my strength to break the situation of King Rong. If I respond to him, I will lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot, and get out of the stalemate for the Rongwang Mansion, if I don't, I naturally can't move the woman in his heart that he said. He is trying to defeat me and make me either retreat in the face of difficulties or take risks. ”

"Do you know what he means?" The emperor leaned over and whispered to Tang An'an, who was still playing a beautiful sound on his side.

"I don't know," Tang An'an was as if nothing happened, and the sound of the liuqin was blocked.

"Stop playing!" The emperor shouted softly at Tang An'an, but even with this gentle roar, with the authority of his Ninety-Five Venerable, the surroundings were suddenly silent.

When the emperor saw the people looking at him, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, so he had to stand up and play a round for himself: "I am just sentimental for a while, the Qionglin banquet of the ancestors in the past was set up in the Kyoto Qionglin Garden full of jade trees and Qionghua, but now, it is not what it used to be, although the same music is played, the old capital, but it is unbearable to look back." disturbed the Yaxing of the Qing family, but I didn't, I punished myself with three cups! As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass, and the eunuch on duty next to him poured him wine.

Everyone at the banquet, seeing that the emperor was guilty of himself, how could they dare to sit back and watch, they all hurriedly picked up their wine glasses, and drank three glasses each, and then did not dare to resume the intoxication and conversation of Fang Cai.

The emperor took the wine glass and walked to Wu Gucuo's side, but turned to the full hall of Jinshi and said loudly: "To restore the old business, I still have to rely on you and others to be the dragon and phoenix!" If you are willing to saddle down and worship the land in the future, I will not spare. ”

All the jinshi knelt down to worship the emperor, and the leader of the bone mistake said: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty as a saddle horse, bow and do your best, and die." The other jinshi hurriedly echoed, speaking in unison and echoing loudly.

"That's a good point. As soon as you enter Hanlin, you will step into the center of my cabinet with half a foot, and I have to rely on you extraordinarily" The emperor personally helped him to get up, and let the other Jinshi flatten down, and then asked in Wu Gucuo's ear: "Do you know Tang An'an?" What does she have to do with King Rong? What do you have to do with King Rong, and why are you and her in cahoots? ”

It turned out that Wu Gucuo only lightly took King Rong with a word, and it set off such a big wave in the emperor's heart, thinking that Tang Anan was King Rong's guest, and she saved Wu Gucuo with her body, naturally even he was King Rong's minions, and the two of them colluded, embarrassed, and dug a conspiracy pit for him, but he also skipped it, so he was so angry and corrupt.

"Tang An'an, who is it?" Wu Gu asked innocently: "What do I have to do with her?" How can he be complicit, and how can he be involved with King Rong, I hope His Majesty will make it clear. ”

"And who is the person you just said?" The emperor saw that Wu Gu was pretending to be stupid in front of him, and asked the same question as the current Xiangguo Jia Yidao.

"Jing Zhixi, Yue's Zhao family, the next daughter." Wu Gucuo knew at this time that he couldn't hide from his outspoken name, but there was Emperor Chrysostom who asked about it, which brought her to the surface, and forgave Jia Jia like a way of power, and he shouldn't dare to harm each other easily.

"Oh?" When the emperor heard that what he said was not Tang An'an, he looked meaningfully at Tang An'an, who was kneeling on the ground, hooked her chin with his hand, and said, "He said he didn't know you......"

Is it ungrateful? Or is it intentional? A mystery was formed in the emperor's heart, but it is not appropriate to solve it today, and if it is solved, another wedding banquet will become a funeral banquet again. The humiliation of the king is enough to play once. So he decided to solve it slowly every day.

Tang An'an had tears in his eyes, and looked at Wu Gucuo, who had such a familiar breath that he couldn't recognize her. Is he pretending? Or is it intentional? In Tang An's peace of mind, it is not only a mystery, but there is also an invisible scar that has been stabbed and unfinished, leaving only pain and resentment.

The emperor turned to Jia Rudao again, and said with a smile to Wu Gucuo: "Jia Xiangguo still has a daughter under his knees, to be in the boudoir, greet you today, if you are compared with a lower daughter, wouldn't you lose face in the court, it's better for me to be a favor, first to fulfill you, and then to fulfill him." ”

How? Jia Rudao and Wu Gucuo were kept in the dark. What the emperor said was like seeing flowers in the fog, who could see it clearly, so he had to wait for the following.

"Come," the emperor summoned the herald, and when the herald arrived, he knelt down and listened to the announcement: "The curfew of King Rong was immediately lifted, he wants to worship the Buddha and pay tribute to the soul of his daughter-in-law, and he should not forget to enter the world. Those who are guests in his house should also go home to see. As for the subordinate daughter that Champion Lang likes, she can be a concubine, and wait for Champion to marry Jia's wife, and then marry. ”

Only then did Wu Gucuo understand: The favor that the emperor said was not so much the fulfillment of him Wu Gucuo and Jia Nidao, but rather the fulfillment of the emperor himself. Because, since the moment when he was appointed by the Gongyuan to hand over Wu Gucuo, he was destined to announce King Rong's innocence to the world, and how to declare it, so that he could push the boat down the river, not only not to wipe his face, but also to find the best step for King Rong to be imprisoned before? Now, it's a great opportunity to kill three birds with one stone. Even the ban on King Rong was downplayed by him, saying that it was 'curfew to worship the Buddha, just to cross the dead', and the curfew was lifted to let him participate in the Qionglin night banquet, isn't it the best way to go down the stairs? Wouldn't it be benevolent to rejoice in the prosperous world?

No, it should kill four birds with one stone, this Qionglin banquet, everyone knows, is a great opportunity for newcomers to integrate into the court and establish a network, and the emperor, at this time, has suspected that he is related to King Rong, and entering the spring is just a premeditated thing, the purpose is to lift the ban on King Rong, so he will give Jia Yidao's daughter to Wu Gucuo at this moment, which is one of the best temptations. If he responds, with the current posture of King Rong and Jiafu not sharing the sky, he is standing on the opposite side of King Rong, even if the original collusion, it has been dismantled at this moment, if he should not, he will sit down, he and King Rong have long had a bad deal, and he is playing with the emperor between applause.

However, from beginning to end, there is a dead knot, Wu Gu can't be untied and can't be reasoned, that is, since the emperor is so suspicious, what kind of power and ideas made him point him to the champion? Judging from the current emperor's suspicions, shouldn't he be sent to the heavenly prison, worse than King Rong, isn't it?
