Chapter 3, Section 15 Torture

The next morning, Chengshan woke up early. Although he was made a scholar of the Hanlin Dynasty, everyone knew that it was a symbolic title and did not give him any real power, so he did not have to go to the morning court every morning.

After getting up, the three of them met. The Zhang brothers must take Shao Hui into the palace to accompany Wang to accompany him, and Gongsun Yu will go to the Tai Hospital to prepare some pills to meet Wu Zetian's requirements. Although Chengshan wanted to see Shangguan Wan'er very much, but Wan'er didn't come to him, it meant that he had something to do, so he stayed at home alone and bored.

After a while, a servant came in with a young man who looked like a Confucian scholar, who claimed to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and invited Chengshan to sit down in the Hanlin Academy.

Chengshan was a little surprised, but he still accepted it happily, because after all, he was a bachelor of Hanlin, how could he not go to Hanlin Academy for a spin.

Hanlin Temple is not far from Fengchen Mansion, and it didn't take long to get on the carriage and arrive there. After Chengshan got off the car, he saw that although it was not as luxurious and extravagant as Fengchen Mansion, it was also unique and elegant.

He followed this editor into the door, and greeted a group of scholar-like people, all of whom saluted him, and after being polite, Chengshan decided to visit the Hanlin Academy first. So, led by a few people, he moved from the front yard to the back hall.

At this time, an elder in a purple robe suddenly walked over from the side, with a long hair, kind eyebrows, and an awe-inspiring appearance.

"This is the Fengge Squire, the Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Ping Zhangshi, Cui Xuanwei Cui. ”

"See Master Cui, I have heard of the name for a long time, and when I see it today, I am fortunate to have three lives. "This prime minister of the dynasty is famous, and Chengshan knows a little about his experience, and it seems that he is in trouble.

"How dare you, the university scholars are young and promising, and I hope to give more advice. "This Master Cui Xuanwei Cui should have accompanied Wu Zetian in the palace to discuss business now, how could he come here and meet Chengshan unexpectedly?

They said a few more polite words, and Chengshan understood. Wu Zetian was not feeling well in the past few days, so he did not go to the court, only Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were accompanied by the brothers, and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Although Cui Xuanwei was dressed very formally, he still didn't have the opportunity to see Wu Zetian, which made him very anxious, so much so that he wrote many times to advise Wu Zetian and pay attention to guarding against the Zhang brothers.

Wu Zetian expressed his gratitude to him for his kindness, but he still went his own way and still avoided the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Cui Xuanwei thought about it, and was bold, and went to Fengchen Mansion to invite Chengshan to come over, Chengshan was named a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and it was a matter of course to invite him to come to the Hanlin Academy to sit down, and the Hanlin Academy was at least his own territory, and no one else should know what to say to him here.

"I don't know what scholars have been reading lately?" Cui Xuanwei was strolling around with Chengshan with great interest, he was testing Chengshan's tone.

"Recently, I was reading Liang Guogong's "Family Fan". The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Chengshan said it lightly, but Cui Xuanwei's face instantly became much more solemn.

Chengshan said that Liang Guogong is Di Renjie, although he died a few years ago, but his name is still there, he is a role model for scholars in the world, and he is also Cui Xuanwei's best friend, Chengshan said that he is reading Liang Guogong's book, which shows that he recognizes Di Renjie's personality and is like-minded with him.

"What do scholars think Liang Guogong's writing is?"

"Every word, every word!"

Cui Xuanwei was overjoyed and smiled, he arched his hand at Chengshan, it seems that the two of them are in love.

Seungsan fully understood what Cui Xuanwei wanted, he was actually testing himself to see if he could be used by them. Wu Zetian is now nowhere to be seen except for Erzhang, in case something happens to her, the political situation will become chaotic and out of control.

"Don't worry, Master Cui, I already know what Gong Di means. But now is the time, don't move lightly. Chengshan lowered his voice, there was no third person around them.

"The university scholar is really a national scholar!" Cui Xuanwei looked happy, it seemed that his goal had been achieved. Chengshan suggested that he should not be in a hurry, and there was no need to explain all the problems clearly when they met for the first time, so Cui Xuanwei accompanied Chengshan to take a look in the Hanlin Courtyard, looked at the collected documents and archives, and Chengshan also collected the spiritual power on it.

Through the conversation with Chengshan, Cui Xuanwei was very surprised to find that this young man was actually knowledgeable and eloquent, and he was indeed a rare talent. Since he admires Di Renjie's works very much, it means that he can use them.

Although the name of the Hanlin Courtyard is big, it is very simple inside, and there are not many places to linger, so Chengshan simply turned around, said goodbye to them, and prepared to return to Fengchen Mansion.

It was still the same Confucian who sent him out, and Cui Xuanwei didn't show up because he didn't want to attract the attention of the enemy.

After Chengshan returned to Fengchen Mansion, he saw that there was already a sea of people outside the gate. This group of people was waiting to meet the Great Treasure National Master and the Protector Master, as for him, the Hanlin Bachelor, although his name was not small, it was not rumored that he had any divine powers, so it did not cause too much of a sensation.

After entering the door, Mr. Ding greeted him.

See Bachelor's Degree. He respectfully bowed to Chengshan.

"No courtesy, no courtesy. Cheng Shan was briefly polite, and prepared to bypass him and go back to his room. But he didn't expect Mr. Ding to block in front of him again.

"Rokuro has been waiting for Qinglian Pavilion for a long time. ”

"He wants to see me?" Chengshan was a little surprised, although he already had his own title and was given a house, but now he was renovating, so he had to live in Fengchen's mansion temporarily. Since the master invited, it was inconvenient for him to refuse, so he followed Manager Ding to Qinglian Pavilion, which was the place where he first met Shangguan Wan'er.

Although it was not formal enough, it was luxurious and luxurious, and it was a place dedicated to receiving intimate friends, and Chengshan knew that Zhang Changzong must have something to ask for.

"Liulang is so leisurely, didn't accompany His Majesty in the palace?" Chengshan felt very relaxed after seeing Zhang Changzong, although he was a few years older than Chengshan, but he was very well maintained, and he looked the same age as Chengshan, and he was just a courtier, although he was also a little smart, but talking to him didn't have to use his brains at all.

"Your Majesty is accompanied by Goro in the palace, and I sneaked out to have a glass of wine with the scholar. As he spoke, Zhang Changzong picked up his wine glass.

Chengshan also did not refuse, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Where did the scholar go just now?" Zhang Changzong's posture of pouring wine was very skillful.

"I just went to the Hanlin Temple. Chengshan smiled slightly, knowing what Zhang Changzong wanted to say. "Those guys insisted on inviting me over, saying that since I was a Hanlin scholar, I should go to the Hanlin Academy to have a look, and I couldn't refuse, so I went with them. ”

"Did you meet anyone there?" Zhang Changzong's expression was a little charming, his skin was delicate, his hair was black, if he changed into women's clothes, he would definitely be a peerless beauty.

"I met a group of people, and I can't remember who was who? Chengshan said it lightly, not wanting to attract the attention of the other party, but he felt that it was better to reveal some news, otherwise he would not believe himself. "By the way, I met a Master Cui named Cui Xuanwei, who is he?"

"He is the prime minister of the dynasty, what did he tell you?"

"It's just some polite words, he's so old, and there's a generation gap between him and me. ”

"Generation gap?"

"Oh, that's what it means to be a communication barrier, which means that I don't have anything to say with him. ”

"I see. Zhang Changzong didn't care when he heard these unfamiliar words, he thought it was some obscure literary usage.

"Yesterday, Your Majesty praised the university scholars for their outstanding literature and talents, I don't know who the university scholars are?"

"The small skills of carving insects are not enough to worry about. Chengshan could hear that since he talked about yesterday's events, it meant that he also knew about the Winter Solstice Sacrifice Ceremony. Although it was impossible for Zhang Changzong to attend the ceremony, Chengshan's position is very revealing. And his ideas coincide with Wu Zetian, so the Zhang brothers must try their best to win them over and use them, so Zhang Changzong praised Chengshan very much.

"Yesterday, I saw the inner house in the palace, and saw her radiant, did the scholar teach her the technique of collecting yang and supplementing yin?" Zhang Changzong smiled evilly, it was really three sentences that did not leave the bank.

Chengshan's face flushed slightly, he didn't expect that there was no privacy at all here, and he couldn't hide it from other people's eyes if he did something secretly, and he didn't want to be teased by Zhang Changzong in vain, so he said casually.

"The younger brother is unfamiliar with his skills, so he is not as free as Rokuro, and he asks Rokuro to give him more advice. ”

"Hahaha!" Zhang Changzong laughed when he heard this, and their relationship seemed to be close again.

"Okay! Since you think I'm the eldest brother, I'll take you as the younger brother! If there is anything to say in the future, I will do my best!"

After speaking, the two of them drank it all again, and the pair of fox friends and dogs came together.

"The recruitment list outside the door, I have asked people to get rid of it. ”

"What?" Chengshan was a little surprised, but soon understood.

"If there are three of you to help, do you still need to recruit other sages? I hope we will work together to assist Your Majesty!"

"Don't bother with Rokuro, the little brother must do his best!"

"After the deed is completed, it will not treat the three of them badly, and it will definitely let you enjoy all the glory and wealth!"

"Xie Liulang carry!"

The two of them continued to push the cup and change the lamp, and it seemed that there was no important topic to talk about, so Zhang Changzong called a group of dancers and danced in the hall.

Chengshan drank very happily, although he didn't mean to get drunk at all, but he deliberately indulged himself, and he was dizzy, as if he was also a profligate child, which made Zhang Changzong very relieved, and he didn't expect that the so-called gods were just like that. How did he know that Chengshan was just acting.

In Chengshan's eyes, only Shangguan Wan'er really has a place.
