The official at the door didn't stop it, and he didn't stop it, so he had to look at Pei Tan: "My lord, this ......"

It's not that Pei Tan doesn't want to stop him, but as far as he is concerned, he doesn't have any position to stop this Lin girl.

Jing Wan'er stared at Pei Tan and whispered, "Did the adults just let her go?" ”

Pei Tan posted a notice and attracted people, but he never expected this to be the case. It's unpredictable.

"Leave the hall." Pei Tan shook his head slowly.

Jing Wan'er caught up with Pei Tan in the backyard, "My lord." ”

Pei Tan turned around, but looked at Pei Xian behind him, thought for a moment and said, "You go and do something." ”

Seeing that Pei Tan explained two sentences in a low voice, Pei Xian left coldly.

Jing Wan'er was a little puzzled, she looked at Pei Tan. Pei Tan said to her: "Your identity is inconvenient, not everyone in Dali Temple listens to my arrangement, in the future, don't appear in the public court again." ”

Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan with a faint look, today she directly brought Lin Jingjing to the lobby, although no one questioned her for the time being, but there is obviously no such good thing in the future.

"Wan'er understands, thank you for mentioning it."

Pei Tan looked at her delicate face, not to mention how dangerous her identity was, if it was really exposed, Dali Temple would not be able to protect her.

Seeing Pei Tan turn around, Jing Wan'er finally couldn't help but say the words in her heart: "Before Wan'er entered Chang'an, she had to wander outside the city for a few days. Outside the city, I met a fisherwoman, saying that she had seen the new Dali Siqing, and was the master of justice for a small people's daughter, and sentenced Zong Huo, the son of the powerful, to death. Wan'er remembered that the fisherwoman said, 'When she saw Pei Siqing in person that day, it was as if she had seen the reincarnated Di Gong. ’”

Di Gong Huaiying, once called the "pearl of the sea" by Wu Tianhou, in the Yifeng period, promoted to Dali Temple, 17,000 people were sentenced in one year, unprecedented. After Di Gong, no one was willing to be an ordinary person and offend the powerful people of the world.

And Pei Tan was also about a year ago, in Zhongzong's reset, the court was in chaos, and was named Dali Temple by Zhongzong, when the courtiers were busy fighting for power, who paid attention to this Pei family's hairy boy.

But when he took office, he encountered the case of Zong Huo, and entered the palace three times to ask for an edict to condemn Zong Huo, and finally Zong Huo would be executed, which shocked almost everyone. Although everyone understands in their hearts that Zhongzong's disposal of Zong Huo was just borrowing the hand of Dali Temple and cutting off one of Wei's arms, Zong Huo is dead after all, and he died in a case in Dali Temple.

Pei Tan looked at Jing Wan'er: "Don't say anything like this in the future." ”

A generation of celebrities is not something that others say can be replaced, and besides, when it comes to Di Gong, people have to think of the queen of heaven again.

Jing Wan'er's lips moved, "Wan'er just wants adults to hear the voices outside." ”

Now Pei Tan is well-known in Chang'an, and Lin Jingjing in Tsing Yi dared to come to beat the drum, I'm afraid it was not a whim.

Pei Tan said slowly: "Hearing too many voices outside may not be a good thing. ”

In this big examination, Zhongzong appointed Wei Xuanzhen and Wei Cheng as the chief examiner of the imperial examination. Under Wei Xuanzhen, he is the Shangshu Zong Chuke of the Ministry of War, and he is the deputy chief examiner.

Now it is only half a month before the big exam, and the courtyard of Shangshu Mansion is already full of gifts from various families, which are sent by scholars from various families who have people preparing for the exam.

The so-called deputy examiner even has the power to seal the file and cover the coffin. Who doesn't want to have a good stutter.

Zong Chuke came back from the morning court, took off his court clothes, and asked coldly, "Who is it today?" ”

The servant lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes: "All the doors in Beijing and Guangzhou have sent gift lists, and the new Guanglu doctor that the adult said before has also sent two boxes of treasures from the north and south." ”

Each family that gives gifts will have a gift list, and on the gift list, the names of their family's candidates this year are written, and everyone knows that Wei Xiang is honest and will never accept gifts, so they all aim at the deputy chief examiner, Zong Chuke.

Zong Chuke's face was expressionless: "Send all these things back according to the gift list." ”

Surprise crossed the man's eyes: "My lord, all ...... Do you want to go back? ”

Zong Chuke said coldly: "All of them will be retreated, and nothing will be left." ”

The minion lowered his eyes: "Yes." ”

Just as the slave was about to retreat, Zong Chuke suddenly looked deep: "Wait." ”

The minion paused: "What else does the lord command?" ”

Zong Chuke said slowly: "Arrange a few more family members, carry these gift boxes, and send them door to door." But if they don't take it, they will be thrown at the door and in the street, and they will not be left alone. ”

The look in the minion's eyes was even more suspicious: "My lord, wouldn't this offend?" ”

There was no emotion on Zong Chuke's cold face: "Do it." ”

The minion didn't dare to say anything anymore, and bowed his head and exited the hall. Since Zong Huo died, Zong Chuke's temperament has become more and more yin and yang, and this time he can be the deputy chief examiner, and it was Wei Xuanzhen who recommended Zhongzong to agree.

At that moment, the people of Chang'an Avenue looked at the large boxes lifted out of Shangshu Mansion in astonishment, driving in different directions.

This face is ugly, you know, under the name of each family, there are so many children of the right age to take the exam, give some meeting gifts to the examiner, say the rules, say the habits, everyone is a colleague in the court, secretly ventilate, you help me, I help you, everyone is not a win-win situation in the future.

In the morning, they were still wishful thinking, and in the afternoon, they were shocked to hear that the doorman reported that the things they had sent were thrown back. It's nothing to throw it back, such a big battle naturally attracted many people to point fingers, and it caused a sensation in Chang'an.

"This Chu Ke is really crazy, and he can't ...... it."

No one expected Zong Chuke to be so desperate, and it stands to reason that he has to take into account the faces of some colleagues.

The families were embarrassed and scolded, and at the same time sent people to quickly clean up the tragedy at the door.

Of course, this matter turned around and passed into the ears of Zhongzong, Zhongzong was furious, and his court officials openly bribed the imperial examination, and the Ninety-Five Emperor was furious, and the next morning he scolded all the families who gave gifts, and fined half a year before the fire was extinguished.

Then, Zhongzong's gaze couldn't stop catching a glimpse of the silent Zong Chuke. Zong Chuke lost the hearts of Zhongzong because of the previous death of his son Zong Huodang Street, and later there was a fake death, and even this time he was recommended to be the deputy chief examiner, but also for the sake of the Wei family and Wei Xuanzhen's face, Zhongzong had to allow it, and he didn't trust Shangshu Mansion at all in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Zong Chuke would refuse the gift boxes sent by each family in person......

Subsequently, Zhongzong said: "When Taizong founded the imperial examination, it was to select outstanding talents among the people, you group of people are good, in order to support your own children, do everything you can, it is a shame of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed their heads in silence, and those who were named by Zhongzong were not to mention their faces.

Zhongzong was furious, and finally looked at Zong Chuke and said: "Zong Qing did the right thing this time, I Datang really need someone like Zong Qing to preside over the imperial examination and select real talents for my Datang." ”

Zong Chuke immediately knelt on the ground: "The ministers who eat the king's Lu should be worried about the king, and they don't dare to be your majesty's false praise." ”

Zhongzong's expression was complicated, and he said for a moment: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

The courtiers left the hall one after another, and Zong Chuke naturally had no one close to him, and all kinds of hateful eyes were too late to hate.

A small official who was lost the gift box at the door, couldn't bear the anger of yin and yang, came to Zong Chuke's side and said: "It's really worthy of Zong Shangshu, this is the holy favor again, when will I be able to do Zong Shangshu like this, as long as the power position is stable, even the life of my own son is just a passing cloud." ”

The people who heard it next to him all stared at this side, and they saw that Zong Chu Keli ignored the provocative people, and still walked forward with an expressionless face.

The little official secretly hated it, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it's an old fox." ”

——

There was tea and candles in the study, and although Pei Tan did not go to court, he also heard about this lively scene.

Jing Wan'er made tea for Pei Tan again, it seems that if she is not allowed to do this, it will not be beautiful.

Pei Tan used to be in Pei's house, and naturally he had drunk all kinds of mountain streams, but when he came to Dali Temple to drink these coarse boiled tea, he didn't see his brows move.

Jing Wan'er couldn't help but sigh: "The gift box that was thrown back has no relatives of adults at all, and the Pei family is really a rare magnate in the Tang Dynasty." ”

She believes that a big family like the Pei family will inevitably have students from the clan participate in the big exam every year, but there has never been news that someone in the Pei family has offered bribes. Not before, not now. Being able to do this, Miss Jing was deeply convinced.

Pei Tan held the case file deposited in Dali Temple in his hand, which had almost become a necessary pastime for him, and he moved his gaze to the girl, obviously speechless for a while.

Jing Wan'er put a petal into the tea and handed it to Pei Tan: "My lord, please taste it." ”

Pei Tan took it and took a sip, the temperature of the tea was moderate, and it had a fragrance.

Jing Wan'er turned her eyes, "Actually, Wan'er didn't think about it very well, since she is an examiner, Your Majesty has the heart to reorganize the imperial examination, why didn't the examiner choose an adult's background, but chose Zong Chuke." ”

Unexpectedly, she was trying to lead the topic to this, Pei Tan's hand holding the cup paused, and his eyes hit the girl's eyes.

"You're wrong." Pei Tan dropped his cup and looked at the girl's gaze, "Zong Chuke can achieve the position of Shangshu because he was a Jinshi in Gaozong's time. ”

You must know that it is not easy for the children of commoners to rise to the top in the imperial examination, and those who can rely on the imperial examination to reach the position of a first-class minister, the entire Tang Dynasty, except for Zong Chuke, may not be able to count the second person.

Everyone knows that Zong Chuke has been leaning on the Wei tree all the way, but before the Wei tree, he was a real commoner in the Tang Dynasty.

Jing Wan'er said quietly: "Wan'er has never thought that the so-called talent can cover up evil deeds. Her father, Jing Zheren, also came out of the imperial examination.

Datang, there are so many talented and learned people, Zong Chuke can have today, it is better to say that he has caught up with the luck.

"No matter what," Pei Tan said slowly, "The examination room is not the business of Dali Temple. ”

For Pei Tan, he conferred the seal of Dali Siqing, so everything he did was just for this position. Killing Zong Huo is like this, and judging the case is like this.

As for his personal attitude towards Zong Chuke and Shangshu Mansion, Master Pei had no fluctuations in his heart.

Jing Wan'er refilled Pei Tan with a cup of tea again, and said a little absent-mindedly: "The so-called great hidden in the world, adults feel that after this, inside and outside the court, everyone must think that no one will dare to do anything in the imperial examination again." At this time, if someone really did the opposite, presumably, they would not have been discovered? ”

The soldiers are in danger for the sake of long-term peace. That's why it's the best policy in the book of war.

And when things are so big, it's time for everyone to be in danger.

Pei Tan's eyes deepened. He slowly put down the case file and looked at Jing Wan'er: "What do you want to say?" ”

The girl is young, but she often grows old when she speaks, and she uses her immature face to hide her true thoughts.

Jing Wan'er looked at him and smiled lightly as if to hide it, "Wan'er is just guessing at random." Like an old fox, if one day he dresses up as a rabbit, it will inevitably make people feel strange. ”
