Chapter Seventy-One: Light Country Falls into the City
"Lord Han, the top three on this gold list, if I don't guess wrong, one of them is Dong Yu's nephew!" Bai Guard, a martial artist, had already concluded that what the emperor wanted was the truth before he found out.
As soon as Han Que heard Dong Yu's name, his heart began to tremble, Taoli Courtyard is not involved in the reputation of the court, who is this Dong Yu, although he has done all the bad things, he has not been caught by anyone in the slightest, even the emperor can't do anything about him, the white guard so bluntly linked the two that Han Que was really shocked, thinking that what he had done had been leaked.
"Bai Guard, what about Dong Yu's nephew, Taoli Academy has never rejected the world's virtuous ability!" Han Que forcibly stabilized his body and mind and explained.
"Not good! What does the emperor want to investigate, are you qualified to push back? "After all, it was the emperor who asked him to draw a name, and when such a thing happened, the white guard was possessed by a reckless man who didn't give anyone face, and was eager to show loyalty to himself.
"If you want to check, you can check, I'm afraid that some people will go out and talk nonsense and misunderstand the reputation of Taoli Academy!" Han Que flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly and walked out of the Hanzi Pavilion, "The name of this gold list is stored separately, in the Dakui Courtyard, follow me!" ”
Han Que walked in front of the white guards, and his heart began to palpitate, "Why does the emperor want to check the roster?" The roster has not been tampered with! Is it just that I doubt Dong Yu's nephew's achievements, but I have been implementing Dong Yu's plan, what went wrong? ’
"Haven't you arrived yet?" The white guard walked behind Han Que and was a little anxious.
"Then it is, how can there be so many words" The more Han Que thought about it, the more anxious he became, if the matter was really revealed, what face would he have to face his father's family, and this Taoli Yuan would also lose its trust in the world, thinking about it, cold sweat began to emerge on Han Que's forehead.
"It's here!" Han Que pushed the door and entered the Dakui Courtyard, and pulled out a roster, which recorded all the information of the top three Dengke Jinshi.
Bai Escort snatched the roster and flipped through it, 'Qian Hongenvelope, a person from Luzhou County, twenty-six years old, his father Qian Hongxiang... Uncle General - Dong Yu! ’
The white guard quickly swept a few pieces of information, Dong Yu's name was written on the roster, the white guard bit his chin, strengthened his thoughts, and glanced at Han Que unruly, although Han Que was weak-hearted, he still treated him coldly and didn't want to reduce his prestige.
The white guard was about to go out with two rosters, but was stopped by Han Que.
"Lord Bai, although there is no hierarchy in my Taoli Academy, not everyone can bully it, so you can take this roster with you if you want to." Han Que's right hand was crossed in front of the white guard, with a resolute attitude.
"Good! Lord Han~The emperor will personally come to Taoli Courtyard~" The white guard patted Han Que on the chest with the roster, and then put it on Han Que's hand, and left the Dakui Courtyard with an evil smile.
Han Que watched the white guard walk out of the courtyard gate, and instantly took a few steps back and collapsed on the chair, looking ahead with empty eyes...
The white guards rushed back to the palace as soon as possible, and the emperor knew from the moment he saw the white guards that there was a truth on his face.
"Your Majesty, subordinates..."
The white guard was about to report, but was stopped by the emperor, "You go down first~"
"Your Majesty, belonging..." The white guard still wanted to prove that he had indeed crossed out his name, and he didn't understand why the emperor didn't want to hear it.
"The widow said, let you step down!" The Emperor slapped the table in a fit of rage.
"Subordinates retire" The white guard hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and then withdrew from the study.
The emperor looked at the poster on the wall and was in a daze: 'Loyalty, filial piety, honesty, diligence and responsibility'.
"The words written by the widow should not be hung in his study" The emperor suddenly stood up, picked up the ink on the table and grinded it, "Come on! ”
"The minions are here!" A eunuch walked in, saw the emperor himself grinding ink, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, let the servants come to this matter!" ”
"Intended!" The emperor said and put the ink aside, and the eunuch quickly prepared the holy decree, "This holy decree is passed on to all the students who participated in the imperial examination, and the order will be passed on, three days later!" The widow wants to set up a banquet in front of the Zichen Palace, receive the students from all over the world who participate in the imperial examination, and by the way, personally carry out the palace examination, and no one is allowed to dissuade them! Go and give the order, lest some have already returned home! ”
The eunuch looked at what the holy decree was written and what the emperor said, and hesitated a little, "The emperor... Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for so many people to enter the palace, right? In case of an assassin infiltrating him..."
"You just do it, where is all this nonsense!" The emperor threw the pen and walked out of the study, "Prepare clothes for the widow first, and the widow will go out!" ”
"Wow!" The eunuch hurriedly tidied up the desk and hurriedly chased after the emperor.
In the teahouse in Chang'an City, Sheng Linyun, Xu Shangao and Han Ai sat around the tea table, Han Ai was lying on the table weakly, his eyes were blurred as if he had lost his soul, but in Sheng Linyun's opinion, it was already God's blessing that he could be called out.
"Han Ai~" This is the thirtieth time Sheng Linyun called him, but Han Ai has never reacted.
"Yo~ Don't go to us to play when you're frustrated, do you think our girl isn't handsome enough to drink tea here?" A seductive voice sounded beside the stairs.
As soon as he heard the voice, Sheng Linyun knew that it was Mei Niang, and helped his forehead, "What is this woman doing here?" ’
Mei Niang is also familiar, and directly put her hand on Han Ai's shoulder, "Which son is this Junsheng?" Why didn't you bring her over last time? ”
Mei Niang's voice was very penetrating, and the surrounding tea customers all heard Mei Niang's voice, and as long as it was a man in Chang'an City, there were almost no people who didn't know Mei Niang, and they stared at Mei Niang's body with side eyes squinting, "Seeking up and down..."
Han Ai felt the lingering fragrance on his shoulders and raised his head, and saw a face of disaster for the country and the people beside him, Han Ai immediately felt shy and overwhelmed, and his eyes began to wander around to avoid embarrassment.
"Brother Han... You've got a nosebleed! Xu Shangao noticed Han Ai's strange appearance and hurriedly patted him, "Brother Han!! Brother Han!! What happened to you? ”
Sheng Linyun continued to hold his head, and he could already see what was going on, 'Sure enough, women cure all diseases!' ’
"You... Who are you? "Han Ai is still a little rusty in the face of women.
"Is there anyone in Chang'an City who doesn't know the concubine?" Mei Niang stood up straight, straightened her chest, and provoked the men around her to have dry mouths, "Xiao Er serves tea...", "I also serve tea here" swallowed saliva.
Han Ai bowed his head shyly, "I really don't know Xiaosheng!" ”
"I'm the proprietress of Bangxia Pavilion! Really, Xiao Junsheng hasn't come to play, has he? Your friends have been here! Mei Niang said and waved the silk handkerchief.
"Oh~" As soon as Mei Niang finished speaking, Sheng Linyun's arm on the table instantly slipped out of the table, and his head slammed on the table.
"It turned out to be the owner of Bangxia Pavilion! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! I was going with my friend the other day, but I haven't seen my sister before! Xu Shangao looked stupid and sweet, and he couldn't figure out the situation at all, but he actually admitted it, and there were bursts of joy next to him.
"This scholar is really... Don't talk about it here! ”
Sheng Linyun hurriedly pressed Xu Shangao's hand that was about to be shaken, rubbed his hair awkwardly, and said in an extremely light voice, "Mr. Xu, you'd better not talk, interrupting the conversation between people and Han Ai, it's rude, um~ impolite." ”
Han Ai was also in the clouds when he listened to it on the side, he was different from Xu Shangao, he lived in Chang'an City, and naturally knew what the Bangxia Pavilion was, he looked at Xu Shangao in a daze, and then looked at Sheng Linyun, "Linyun~ How long are you?" ”
Sheng Linyun slapped his forehead, feeling that he couldn't stay here, so he got up and was about to leave.
"You think I'm here to tease you?" Mei Niang used the sound transmission skill to make a very subtle sound that only Sheng Linyun could hear, and Sheng Linyun sat back in his position, impulse is the devil, and women are the source of impulse, no exception for young men.
"Ahem," Sheng Linyun coughed dryly, "Little Er!" Serve another pot of tea! ”
"Okay!" Xiao Er came to the table with a teapot and began to dull like the people around him after seeing Mei Niang.
"Knock, knock..."Sheng Linyun knocked on the table to remind Xiao Er, the cup was full.
"Ahh Sorry, objective, you use slowly! Xiao Er walked away with the teapot in embarrassment, and accidentally bumped into the guests at the next table, there was a burst of laughter in the teahouse again, and the pedestrians on the street suddenly felt that today's teahouse was so joyful, and they couldn't help but look up and take a look, don't look at it, and just see a graceful back sitting by the window, willow thin waist, plump buttocks, and a close-fitting light gauze skirt will present the silhouette of the figure at a glance, and the front of the teahouse is instantly blocked, and the men passing by on the street began to watch the teahouse, and they didn't go upstairs to drink tea, Just downstairs looking up, people will unconsciously open their mouths when they look up, and the saliva of the lively people will flow out even more unconsciously, a live and beautiful Chang'an spectacle.
"What are you going to do?" Sheng Linyun understood that the other party did have something to do with him, and he took it seriously.
"Say something that will help your friend," Mei Niang took a sip of tea.
The surrounding guests began to imagine that they were the teacup and licked their mouths unconsciously.
"What's the matter?" Sheng Linyun asked.
"Naturally, you can't say anything here" Mei Niang's words were obvious, she wanted Sheng Linyun to go back to the Bangxia Pavilion with her.
"I want to think about it first" Sheng Linyun looked away from Mei Niang, he was different from Mo Wei, Mo Wei could accept it as long as he was not restrained. And Sheng Linyun is afraid of being restrained, the most important thing is that Xu Jiangyuan said that his actions will be restricted.
"You can't think about it!" Mei Niang's smile and smile affect the hearts of the people around her.
Xu Shangao couldn't understand what he was talking about, but he was still very polite and didn't interject, thinking that Sheng Linyun and Mei Niang were old acquaintances.
Han Ai has been brought out of the shadow of Mei Niang's fall, and now she is trying her best not to think about the picture that just contains spring, knocking her head from time to time, touching her nose to see if she still has a nosebleed, patting her forehead with tea, and being stunned.
On the other side, the emperor and the white guards were originally going to Mingyue Academy to find Xu Shangao, but when they walked to the teahouse, the road was blocked, which aroused his interest, and he followed everyone to look up, but he didn't see anything, so he patted an old man beside him.
"This old brother, what are you looking at?"
"Hey! Don't be noisy, it's rare, you can't usually see it, hehe, hey," the old man said, sucking the saliva that came to his mouth.
The white guard was about to scold the lord again, but the emperor knocked his mouth shut with a fan.
When the emperor looked up again and took a closer look, he found Xu Shangao's figure, "So it's here..."
