During this period of time, the hot news in Tianjing City, day after day, almost never stopped, just like the pouring rain in autumn, one after another, refusing to take a little rest.

In the taverns and teahouses in the entire Tianjing City, the stories circulating everywhere are told to people very well, and the people who listen to them are also serious to listen, and at the end they have to scold the people in the last news story, so that they can be regarded as giving face, and the people who tell the stories are comfortable on their faces.

Tianhe Lou sent away the last batch of guests, seeing that the meal had passed at this time, there was still some time before noon, there were not many visitors, both the chef and the shopkeeper, and occasionally had to serve the dishes Liu Hou finally had to be free, sitting on the chair, exhaling for a long time, and he was too lazy to move.

But before he could rest enough, another guest came in.

At the moment, he can only be in good spirits, get up and greet the guests in, this glance almost scared Liu Housan and seven souls away half of the seven spirits, the cold in winter is layer upon layer, cold to the bones, not that he is timid, but the person who came is a little strange.

The old man was born elegant, although he was dressed simply, but at a glance, he knew that he was a learned person, but the young man who followed next to him made Liu Hou feel cool in his heart, the young man was not low, his shoulders were broad, and his arms had a lot of strength at a glance, but his face did not look like a person.

I don't know what I've experienced, a face seems to be cut back and forth directly.

The scar on it has already grown, but it looks like the scalp is numb, Liu Hou has a cool air running around the back of his head, the old man is holding a faded umbrella in his hand, thinking that it is covering the snow just now, the old man knocked the umbrella in his hand on the ground, and said warmly:

"Let the store be frightened, my child, when I was a child, robbed someone, and finally rescued it, but this face is a little ruined, I have been bullied since I was a child, in fact, he is very kind-hearted, I don't know if the classics can let our grandparents and grandchildren rest here for a while, eat a bowl of noodles?"

Liu Hou was originally an honest person, and he was originally scared, but after hearing this, thinking about what happened to this young man when he was a child, he felt pity in his heart for no reason, and felt that he was a little sorry for the two grandfathers and grandchildren, and said at the moment:

"Look at what you said, old man, how can we have a reason to drive customers outside? Now it's just free, what do you two want to eat, I'll make it for you, and then I'll send you a cold dish of side dishes, this side still has to have a red oil side dish to eat. ”

The old man touched the head of the young man next to him and said, "Ah Ping, don't you want to thank the shopkeeper?" ”

Liu Hou hurriedly waved his hand and smiled:

"Oh, where is this, two guests come in and sit, come in and sit."

The old man and the disfigured boy named Ah Ping entered the store together, the shop was not large, it was rare to be clean, there was no greasy feeling of ordinary shops, the old man sat near the stove, put the umbrella in his hand lightly on the table, and his palm fell to the side.

In this kind of small shop, there is no back kitchen, Liu Hou vacated a corner of the stove in the center of the store, on which an iron pot is shelved, which can save space, and secondly, it can also show the cooking skills of the owner of the store and attract customers.

Because there is still an hour before the noon restaurant, there is no one in the store, Liu Hou said casually while cooking: "The old gentleman looks good, and the accent is not from our side." ”

"It's your first time in Tianjing City?"

The old man smiled: "It's not the first time I've come, I want to think about it...... I came almost four or five times. ”

"But it's rare to see how easy it is."

"When I was young, I thought about too many things, and I didn't have such wild interests and no leisure."

Liu Hou said with a smile: "Then the old man, you have to go around more, our Tianjing City is a good location, prosperous, delicious, and delicious, and it is a bit of a loss if you don't see it." ”

The voice paused, and then asked, "Don't know the old man's surname?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Su, Su Daji's Su." ”

Liu Hou was shocked by this extraordinary metaphor for the old man, and then couldn't help laughing:

"Su, a good surname, it's the metaphor of the old gentleman, it's a bit inappropriate, where can I use the surname of a demon woman like Su Daji as a metaphor? Speaking of which, I think about it, when our Great Qin fought with the Six Kingdoms, there was a scholar named Su Gu on the other side, and he joined forces with each other to cross the Six Kingdoms. ”

"That posture almost swallowed our Great Qin."

"The old gentleman will use Su Gu to say his surname in the future, which is better than Su Daji."

The old man smiled, and there was always some strange feeling when he pronounced his name like this, and said softly:

"Su Gu, ......"

On the other side, Ah Ping poured hot water for the old man, the old man took a sip, and said: "I recently came to Tianjing City, and found that a lot of things seem to have happened in this capital. ”

Liu Hou was stunned for a moment, then kneaded the dough again, and said:

"That's there, but it's not interesting, I'm afraid you'll get angry when you hear it, old man."

Su Gu said: "I can get angry when I listen to the story, that is because I don't have enough self-cultivation, but I'm still very curious about your story, isn't there anyone who bullies men and women?" ”

Liu Hou sighed heavily and said, "Alas, although the old gentleman didn't say it right, it's not far off. ”

"It's a corrupt official!"

Liu Hou's voice became heavier suddenly, he gritted his teeth a little, and continued: "It is said that his name is Jiang Shouyi, and he was finally invited back by an old master who was too learned, we thought he was a good master with knowledge, hey, did you ever think that it was actually a wolf who led a wolf into the house and attracted a first-class corrupt official in the world!" ”

The old man said, "Oh? How to be corrupt? He is not in the household department, nor is he in the official department, compared to the rich yamen of the six departments of the three provinces, this Taixue is a clear soup with little water, and there is no oily taste. ”

Liu Houyi replied and said:

"That's not it! We used to think so, who knew him, this Jiang Shouyi actually collected money from those who were not qualified to enter Taixue, and then sent those people to Taixue, old man, you say, this Taixue, as soon as he came out, he had an official body, this, how can this thing be child's play? ”

"Someone asked, and it really took a lot of money to get in."

"There is a son of the Liu family, and it is said that he took a thousand taels of silver, which is a thousand taels!"

Liu Hou swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but say: "One thousand taels, you can have so much if you accept one student, you can know how much silver he has been greedy for in the past few years!" ”

"That's not all, don't you know, old man? More than half a month ago, something big happened to Chao Shang. ”

"I don't know why, all of a sudden, hundreds of big officials were given no seats, and then a group of officials below these officials went up, but after all, there were fewer people, demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall, and finally there were more than 100 places in one breath below, do you know, what happened next?"

Su Gu asked, "What happened?" ”

Liu Hou hammered his right hand on the dough and said hatefully:

"This Jiang Shouyi, he actually dares to sell his official!"

"It is said that he said that he would select students to be officials in various ministries in Taixue, although it is not high, but they are all officials, who doesn't know that many people in Taixue can go to school because they gave him silver? When he came out this time, the big guys all scolded, but he still saw someone to give him a gift, and he dared to accept it! ”

Liu Hou scolded for a while and said, "In the end, His Majesty spoke." ”

"It's okay to say this, but you have to go through the assessment."

"This is different from the past, it is the elders who come up with the question, and His Majesty personally checks the last side."

"Hey, this time, I'm afraid Jiang Shouyi is going to finish, those straw bales, where can they have any ability? It's specified that he wants to show his stuffing, but these small officials are actually tired of His Majesty the Sage, alas, this Jiang Shouyi, a corrupt official who misleads the country, must be asked to be beheaded at noon! ”

After talking for a while, the noodles were also cooked, and the two of them were brought to the table, the clear soup noodles, with a verdant rape lying on it, and finely chopped green onions, fried eggs, and finally poured a spoonful of the old soy sauce of Lao Chen's house at the entrance of the village, and the taste came out.

The old man took a bite of the noodles and praised them, "It tastes good." ”

Liu Hou sent a plate of side dishes and said with a smile:

"Sir, eat slowly, if you don't eat enough, you can add noodles, don't pay for the first time."

The old man nodded, ate a few chopsticks of noodles, and suddenly said: "The shopkeeper said that Jiang Shouyi, who was a corrupt official and misled the country, has you seen him?" A trace of contempt and disgust appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and he said: "Naturally, I have seen it, and after what he did came out, we villagers couldn't see it." ”

"Several elders from families also took the lead in scolding and scolding."

"Let's think that the saint probably can't see it, which ones are more temperamental, throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves into that yard, and some people pour some filth on his wall, hey, call him noble, greedy for money and pretend to be noble, damn!"

Liu Hou's eyes were full of pride, and he added:

"My kid also threw two rotten eggs."

"It's kind of there."

"Now that Jiang Shouyi is completely stinky, we are not willing to sell him something, even if he sells, he has to increase the price tenfold, isn't he greedy for money? Then be greedy, hum, greed for money is greed, that is, you still deduct and search, buy a vegetable and pick the cheapest kind, and only sell half of it, but there is no bargaining. ”

Su Gu said: "After all, he is an official, are you so bold?" ”

Liu Hou hesitated and said, "This ...... That scholar doesn't look very fierce, so we don't know how not to be afraid of him, besides, aren't there a few big people from the big family to help? We're not afraid to rush forward. ”

Su Gu smiled and said:

"There's one thing I don't quite understand."

He stirred the noodles with chopsticks and said lightly:

"Taixue student, does it have anything to do with the store? The shopkeeper's child may have become a Taixue student? Become an official in the future? ”

Liu Hou was stunned for a moment, and said: "This, naturally, it doesn't matter, but it's ......"

Su Gu said again: "If someone can let your child go to the palace, what does the store think?" ”

Although Liu Hou thinks that this sentence is simply unreasonable, where can ordinary cloth clothes be qualified to go to the palace? But he still replied truthfully: "Then I will definitely be grateful for a thousand thanks, and I will definitely give that benevolent man an immortal inscription, and I will not forget his goodness for generations." ”

The old man smiled, but did not speak.

A bowl of noodles was eaten, the snow outside stopped, the old man settled the bill, grabbed the cloth umbrella and left, the young man followed closely, the soles of his shoes with fine stitches stepped on the snowdrifts, and made a sneering sound, Ah Ping said: "That Jiang Shouyi, not like a corrupt official." ”

Su Gu said slowly: "Naturally not. ”

The strategist who once troubled the world looked up at a clear sky and said:

"He wants to re-establish the rules of the world, he has a lot of energy, and he is also very smart, this matter, the family is not in the front, vacate the position of a hundred officials, and the official position is promoted, so it will be vacated, he just proposed to let Taixue students replace the vacant positions of those six- and seven-grade officials."

"But because of his previous reputation in the government and the opposition, what do you think will happen?"

Ah Ping thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Attack it in groups." ”

Su Gu nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

"Certainly, however, there are those who think that this matter is still worth considering."

"Especially for those who have children in Taixue, the strength of the family has been weakened by the blow, and they have not yet been able to relieve their breath, this kind of dumping thing, if it is a dynasty with an unstable foundation, it will almost cause overturning, but Daqin is especially stable in the world at the moment, and this backlash can withstand it."

"This is a good time for those families to enter the court and establish themselves as factions, but they also have to prevent the scholars they look down on, especially the scholars of the Han family, as well as the heirs of wealthy merchants, so they must have a threshold, so it is natural that they must be assessed."

"The family always thinks highly of themselves."

"At this time, the emperor proposed that he should finally look at it."

"And that's it. If the old man's expectations are good, with Jiang Shouyi's eyesight, at this moment, among the Taixue, there are definitely many scholars from the scholar clan, and even the talented scholars, and the assessment results will inevitably be far away from those who do not want to make progress and have to spend two silver to enter the Taixue family. ”

"Originally, they could only serve as swordsmen and pencils, but now they have the opportunity to enter the court."

"And this kind of assessment method will make the emperor have talents who are not from a family, but also talented, and the current Qin Emperor is very powerful, not ...... Looking through the history books, any emperor in the world will want this kind of assessment to last forever, and even extend it to the seventy-two counties under heaven. ”

Ah Ping was slightly stunned, then frowned, and said:

"But, how can the children of the poor family afford the one thousand taels of silver?"

Su Gu said: "This is a trick, the children of the family gave a thousand taels of silver to enter, but who said that the children of the poor family also had to pay a thousand taels of silver?" However, just like the store just now, the family has surplus wealth, but even if the whole family borrows debts and makes up hundreds of taels, they don't want to enter Taixue. ”

"Hanmen, after all, they are also scholars."

"After all, it's the cloth clothes that are different."

His voice was flat, but Ah Ping heard the impassable chasm and high wall, separated between the scholars and the cloth clothes.

Su Gufu smiled and sighed again.

"It's a pity Jiang Shouyi."

Ah Ping said: "It's a pity? ”

Su Gu looked up at the sky and said calmly:

"Yes, this kind of assessment will inevitably be a policy for building the country in the future, and there will inevitably be greed for ink and greed."

"Only tell the people of the world that those who are recruiting students, and even those who are greedy for ink in the end."

"Even those who propose the advice of this country will die."

"In this way, if there is a person who is greedy for ink in the future, he will be severely punished, so that real talents can emerge and enter the court and be used by the world."

"Shang Jun died in the Shang Jun Law, Qin Law is established, and there is a strong Qin hegemony and the world."

"As soon as Jiang Shou entered the capital, he already knew that he was going to die, and he would do it for thousands of generations."

Ah Ping suddenly felt a chill.

The two of them had unconsciously walked outside the palace gate, and when they saw someone posting the imperial list, Su Gu smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go and see who has passed the assessment, which can be regarded as a gift to Jiang Shouyi." ”

The two walked outside the imperial list.

An invisible qi machine forced the rest of the people away, Su Gu raised his eyes and looked at the emperor list, and was suddenly stunned.

There was a squeeze next to him, and when he looked up and wanted to scold, he saw Ah Ping, he was startled, muttered and avoided, looked up and scolded Jiang Shouyi with the people next to him, and looked at the emperor list with envy, he swept it over, and saw many unfamiliar surnames and names, scratched his head with some curiosity, looked at the person next to him, and said:

"It's strange, do we have a family like a ram in Daqin? Why haven't you heard of it? ”

"I don't think so...... Not even a nobleman. ”

The man was puzzled when he was startled by the sound of laughter next to him.

Turning his head, he saw the old scholar throw down the umbrella in his hand.

Su Gu, who had once single-handedly conspired among the Seven Kingdoms, could barely straighten his waist with a smile.

"Good, good, what a big lie!"

"I deceived the world!"

"How can you, Jiang Shouyi, not die this time?"

"It turns out that your dragon gate is not only given to the scholars of the poor family, but also to those cloth clothes, but also to let them read and write, enter the palace, and enter the court? Do you want to cast a world of cloth and beauty? What a bold heart, how dare you do this, what a bold reader?! How arrogant, how can a mere family compare with you for thousands of years? ”

He laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

The people next to them were startled and retreated one after another, only to see a person suffering from hysteria.

The old man leaned down, grabbed the cloth umbrella, and muttered to himself:

"I suddenly felt that it was a good thing to be able to die in this era compared to those guys who had lived so long, but unfortunately I couldn't live far."

He looked up and swept the plum blossoms on his shoulders that had come from nowhere.

"The people of the world slander you, complain about you, scold you, and hate you."

"I, Su Gu, respect you."

"To your scholarly spirit!"

"Respect for your willful will!"

"Respect your cloth and the world ruled by the prime minister!"
