Chapter 122: Meet

The porter's post was handed in, and after a while, someone invited them in.

"Cunzhi, is it appropriate for us to do this?" One of them thought that the cabinet Master Hu was also here, and then thought of the turbulent remarks now, and his heart was always a little apprehensive.

"Is it inappropriate to visit the examiner?" Gu Yumu didn't squint, followed the little guy in Tsing Yi upright, and replied in a low voice.

When I came to the living room, I heard a loud laugh.

"Come, come, the old man has a fate today to meet our talents."

It was Master Hu who stood up first.

This was the first time they had come into contact with a cabinet member, and they couldn't hide a little shock on their faces, and they were busy saluting each other.

"This is this year's Huiyuan, Jiankang Gu Yu Gu Cunzhi." Master Li introduced Gu Yu with a smile on his face.

Master Hu looked at Gu Yu, surprised by his youth, and nodded again and again.

"Cunzhi's apprenticeship with Master Li?" He asked.

Gu Yu nodded yes, and continued, "The disciple came from Jiankang in March, and worshiped under Master Li in April. ”

Under the door is under the door, and his words at this time are quite a bit of a drawback.

But Lord Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Public opinion is a force that cannot be underestimated, especially the public opinion in Shilin, when it is huge, it can fully represent the will of all the people in the world, and this Li Daru is the head of the capital Shilin.

Because there were guests, the three of them sat for a while, then got up to say goodbye, and Master Li did not politely stay for dinner.

After the three of them left, the two adults sat down again, eating tea separately, and there seemed to be nothing to talk about, and the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

"So, I take my leave." Master Hu got up and said.

Master Li didn't stay with each other, and got up to see off the guests.

"What I said, adults still have to think about it carefully." Master Hu said with a smile.

Master Li smiled without saying a word, and sent him out the door.

"I was outside the door just now, and I saw seven people, but only three people came in at the end, it seems that the old man dragged Master Li down." When Master Hu got on the sedan chair, he seemed to think of it, and said with a hint of playfulness.

Master Li's expression seemed to be stiff, he was silent, watched the sedan chair go away, and turned to enter the door.

"Master, it is true that seven people came, and then those four people turned around and left... The little ones don't know who they are...", said the porter respectfully.

"It doesn't matter." Master Li waved his hand and motioned for the porter to step down.

The three hundred scholars were all set by him, and the names had long been memorized, and now that a month has passed, who came and who did not come, and his heart is already very clear.

Gu Yu and his entourage walked out of Lord Li's mansion, two of them were still excited, but when they looked at Gu Yu again, they looked at it peacefully.

"With the high talent of the existence, this time it will be the champion and the first, and the cabinet will be the prime minister in the future..."One of them guessed that the joints were not able to help but feel a little envious, since he entered the cabinet, he was a colleague with these cabinet ministers, and there was nothing to be excited about, "... It's not like us, it's specific outward... This time, the palace tried to enter the hall to meet Tianyan, is it the first time, and it may be the last time..."

Gu Yu shook his head, not knowing whether he agreed with their statement or was modest, "The palace test has not yet been conducted, you can't talk about your ranking, everything is judged by the Son of Heaven, you and I can learn with peace of mind." ”

Look, there is already a cabinet minister's noble posture, and the two of them glanced at each other and stuck out their tongues.

The two were talking and laughing, and suddenly saw Gu Yu in front of him stop, turn over and dismount.

"Save, do?" They asked.

"Dismount." Gu Yu was understanding, and stretched out his hand to point forward, "I don't see the place." ”

Only then did the two of them raise their eyes, and then they saw a majestic mansion standing next to their right, and this street was basically the residence of the ministers of the DPRK and China, but this one could be said to be the most eye-catching.

The wide gatehouse, the white jade steps, the vermilion gate, and even the two stone lions placed at the door give people a strong sense of shock at a glance.

When the two students saw it, they immediately dismounted without saying a word.

The three of them led the horses and lowered their heads in silence, held their breath and moved forward cautiously, and couldn't help but quietly turn their heads to look as they walked.

In the daytime, the four gates are closed, it looks deserted, and there are two large lanterns hanging on the gatehouse, and the book "Zhu Mansion" sways in the wind.

Gu Yu only felt that his heart was surging, and he couldn't help but tighten the reins of the horse.

This is the mansion of the first assistant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is the powerful ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is the noble above the ten thousand people under the clouds and rain, the emperor specially approved, the military attache dismounted, the civil official got off the sedan chair, the Great Zhou Dynasty Bingchen Branch Champion Lang, and now the prime minister Zhu Chunming's mansion is located.

is such a person, the ridiculous is a group of self-defeating students, self-proclaimed literati, scolding others for traitors and harming the country, framing Zhongliang, his crime can be punished, but I don't know that in the eyes of others, it is just a group of clowns who jump off the beam and frolic, as long as he is willing, he can crush you to death with a finger.

Gu Hai really didn't go to see Master Li again, but just handed over a post and wrote a word of thanks, and attached a letter, listing Dajin's crimes when he went south, as well as General Ye Zhen's achievements over the years, the significance of which is self-evident.

After Master Li took it, there was no reaction, like a stone sinking into the sea and mud cow into the river.

"Are you crazy?" Gu Yu couldn't cry or laugh when he found out, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

"My natural way, I study for the official and enter the office," Gu Hai replied in a deep voice, looking calm.

Gu Yu smiled, he had to forget, this kid also had a nickname called stupid wood, the wood was already dull, and he had to add a stupid word, which showed how good his temperament was.

Since he entered the family study, after his talent was suddenly revealed, he almost forgot about it, and no one called this nickname anymore, as the saying goes, the nature of the country is easy to change, although he is diligent in his studies and his studies are diligent, but Gu Hai is still Gu Hai, and he has not changed people.

The life and death of others are not in his Gu Yu's heart, not to mention, the person in front of him is Gu Hai.

Although he will try to win the championship in one fell swoop, there is also a palace test, which should have been a sure thing, but looking at the calm and calm young man in front of him, his eyes couldn't help flashing slightly.

"When are you going home?" He changed the subject and said lightly.

"What, Cunzhi wants to be with me?" Gu Haixiao asked.

"No, it's up to you to leave, I'm so staggered." Gu Yu also smiled.

Both of them just said this just to avoid that topic, this one didn't want an answer and that didn't want to say, and they were about to disperse when they laughed.

"Cunzhi" someone came over with a smile on his face while holding a post, "Shousuke-sama's hairpin feast"

It is a common practice to cross horses and parade through the streets after winning the champion, but after the examination, there is an unwritten convention, that is, the first assistant of the cabinet leads the scholars of the DPRK and the Central Committee to invite 300 scholars who have been killed in thousands of troops to a banquet.

The reason why it is unwritten is that this banquet will not be held, it all depends on the mood of the emperor and the first assistant, the Great Zhou Dynasty has counted down, a total of only five times, after all, these scholars will be disciples of the Son of Heaven after the palace test, and the teaching should be carried out by the emperor, so although the emperor secretly agreed, but when it is really implemented, the first assistant is still very cautious, and the mentality of the Son of Heaven is difficult to figure out.

Before this exam, everyone speculated whether there would be this hairpin banquet, but with the change of the situation between the DPRK and China, everyone thought that it was impossible, and they didn't expect that Lord Shoufu, who was on the cusp of the limelight, would hold it, and he was not afraid of jumping out of a hot-blooded scholar to throw shoes at the banquet and smash him, or scold him sonorously, which would be a shame and a big shame, even if he killed the student, it would be difficult to wash away the shame.

"Not all of them, though." The student holding the post said, looking at Gu Hai.

Gu Hai immediately understood that he had been excluded this time.

"It is the name determined by the main examiner, and in view of the fact that the war has been going on for many years and the suffering of all the people, it is not appropriate to be extravagant...."After some decent words, the man continued, "... So take the top ten, the middle ten, and the last ten as representatives...."

Although it was held by the first assistant, after all, it was attended by university scholars and other officials, and this was the highest level of banquet except for the emperor's banquet after the palace examination.

Gu Hai couldn't hide a trace of disappointment on his face, he was not among the one hundred and fifty.

The decision sounded reasonable, and it didn't seem to be aimed at students like them who had made bad remarks.

"Pay attention to luck in everything, contain it, don't pay too much attention to it." Gu Yu said with a smile.

Gu Hai was in no mood to look at the ridicule on Gu Yu's face anymore, and turned to leave.

Because of this incident, Gu Hai's homecoming trip was advanced, and the thought of going home made his depressed mood much better recently.

"Miss likes?" Standing in the largest multi-treasure pavilion in the capital, Lingbao only felt dazzled and worried.

"I wonder how old that young lady is?" The guy on the side asked with a smile.

Ever since Gu Hai threw out a handful of golden leaves, this guy no longer dared to smile contemptuously at the thinly clothed Lingbao.

"This hairpin is the most popular style in the palace, and it is a must-have for all the ladies in the capital." The young man held a box and introduced it attentively.

The golden hairpin bead flowers, piled up exquisitely, are exquisite.

Lingbao turned his head to look at Gu Hai, and Gu Hai shook his head.

"Let's go to the library over there." He smiled and walked over first.

That's right, Miss likes to read, not to dress up, and Lingbao is also busy following.

Picking out seven or eight hardcover medicinal scriptures and herbs, Lingbao's smiling eyes crooked: "Miss must like the gift from the young master." ”

Gu Hai smiled, speaking of which, this is a gift, and it is still the money of the Eighteen Niang.

"Lingbao likes it?" Gu Hai asked, looking at the down-and-out and thin Lingbao, the weather was cold, and he was still wearing a single coat, which was also short, revealing a wrist, and his small hands were rough.

During this time, she refused the support of herself and Eighteen Niang, and made a living by doing some cleaning herbs in the medicine store, and the money she earned was spent on finding Lingyuan except for barely satisfying herself.

"Thank you, young master," Lingbao shook his head in refusal.

Gu Hai sighed, in this situation, it is better to leave some money for her.

The man packed the books and personally sent them to the carriage, Gu Haicai said goodbye to Lingbao, and saw a Zhuyi guard walk up to him and respectfully hand over a post.

"Please invite Young Master Gu to the banquet." He said with his head bowed.

didn't report to his home, opening his mouth was this sentence without a beginning or end, Gu Hai couldn't help but be a little surprised, looking at the bronzing invitation handed to him, his brows jumped even more.

This is.. A post on the hairpin feast

"It's... Who is your owner? Gu Hai asked.

"The young master will know when he goes, and my son-in-law will be very happy to see Young Master Gu at that time." The guard bowed his head, said goodbye, and strode away.

It was that person Gu Hai pinched the invitation, and suddenly his heart suddenly said that he was qualified to see him

Finally about to meet that person Gu Hai's heart couldn't help but pound, he could get the banquet invitation of the people who had been finalized, and this person's origin must be not small.

Who is sacred, really someone you know?

The hairpin feast was not held at the residence of Lord Shousuke, but at the old prince's residence on the west side of the palace, which had been taken over by the imperial court.

Early in the morning, the invited scholars in front of the palace gate were all dressed and stood up excitedly.

Gu Yu is at the forefront, his eyes have always been dull, and he will try to be a threshold, and only by jumping over this threshold can he have a chance to rise to the top.....

Those who have trampled on him, those who have been humiliated in the past, will henceforth prostrate in front of him, looking up, this is not enough, he will also step on them heavily, and return those humiliations to them one by one......

There was a sudden commotion behind him, and he couldn't help but look back, and suddenly changed color in shock.

"You, why are you here again?" He asked.

Gu Hai strode closer and looked at him with a pretended ignorant look on his face that he wanted to make a punch.

"I don't know—" he shrugged, spread his hands, and said helplessly.

Gu Yu wanted to vomit blood.

Gu Hai grinned at him and shook the invitation in his hand, "I think it might be luck." ”

Without further ado, the door opened, and the bachelors wearing python robes and jade belts appeared in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please."

Everyone dressed up and saluted in unison, and entered with excitement to maintain a dignified fish.

"Save it, please." Gu Hai said with a smile, he didn't wait for Gu Yu to leave, he raised his feet and left, his eyes could not hide his curiosity and expectation, and his steps were hurried.

Gu Yu watched him pass by, his thin lips were tightly closed, was it really luck? How could there be such luck? A cold light flashed in his eyes, how could he be so lucky? Always get what he doesn't deserve, if he has good luck in the temple exam......

"Save.." Someone whispered a reminder in the back.

Gu Yu came back to his senses, and his restrained expression followed the flow of people.

The banquet is no different from other banquets, except that there are more speakers, more than a dozen scholars, who have spoken for an hour, and these scholars who are only standing have numb feet and sore legs, although there are seats, but in front of the Son of Heaven, who dares to sit?

However, there were no inappropriate remarks and actions in the field, and it was speculated from the gossip that those few incompatible bachelors laughed at Yan Yan, and they couldn't see that they had made a big deal in front of the emperor's seat in the court.

And Lord Shoufu didn't appear at all, so it was easy to finish speaking, and the presiding bachelor motioned for everyone to sit, and before the students sat down next to each other, they listened to a feminine chanting.

"King Wenjun has arrived—"

This sound made the tributes stand up sharply and look at the stage in unison.

Emperor Longqing of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a son, but unfortunately he was frightened to death when Dajin raided the imperial city, and then Emperor Longqing had no heirs born, so he had to choose a successor from the clan, and the sons of the princes were invited into the palace of the capital one after another, and this King Wenjun was one of them, the son of King Xiu of Yanzhou, the king of Wenjun.

Although he is not clear about the undercurrent scholars in the royal heirs, he also knows that for Da Zhou, who does not have a prince, the status of the county king is noble, and it is very likely that he will be the future emperor.

I didn't expect a county king to come to this banquet, no less than the emperor in person, some scholars trembled their legs, I don't know if they were excited or tired......

Gu Hai's gaze was the same as that of other students, he looked at the front of the stage without blinking, and saw that under the support of a group of palace maids, a tall and thin young man was personally attracted by Lord Shoufu, who was wearing a light purple robe, walking calmly, and the scholars had already stood up and stood on the side, he walked to the middle of the stage and slowly turned around.

The moment he turned around, Gu Hai only felt a buzz in his brain.

"It's him," he looked stunned, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at the gorgeous young county king in front of him, with only one thought.

Cai Wen, Cai Wen, a lonely student in the primary school hall of Xianren County

At the same time, Gu Yu's eyes, who had been staring at Gu Hai closely, lit up, and then looked at King Wenjun on the stage, with a hint of abruptness in his expression.
