Huo Li's eyes narrowed hard, shook his head and waved his hand, "My father is a stuffy gourd, and he will only tell my eldest brother if he has this kind of thing, where will I let my master know?" Twisting his head, the fire plow suddenly came to his senses, "No, you can't even know his name!" ”

Several people looked at each other, and Gongsun Nuo spoke, "This, we really don't know." It was said that it was a mysterious champion, and there was no name on the list, so he only used Hua Mou instead. So you said you forgot his name, and you must have known it before. ”

Huoli shook his head and smiled, "By the way, the master remembers what it is, it turned out to be Hua, you see, this champion in the literary examination has a name like this!" ”

Gongsun Nuo was obviously stunned, and then shook his head helplessly, "It seems that he is tired, let's take care of him more, you two come, carry Brother Huo to the bed in the back." ”

The fire plough raised his hand, ready to slap the table and get up, slapped down, and almost knocked over a plate of pig's trotters, Yang Zhiqi quickly supported him, turned around and handed it to the two attendants.

"Could it be that the Fire Commander went to Huaizhou for him to become like this?" Yang Zhiqi sighed, "In the past, I ate wine with him, although I couldn't call a thousand cups not drunk, but I never saw him pour so quickly." ”

"If you don't get drunk, everyone will get drunk, Brother Huo, this is something on your mind." Gongsun Nuo took a sip of his wine glass, and said with a smile, "It's okay, when you get drunk, you can relieve a thousand sorrows, and when you wake up, he forgets." ”

"However, Brother Huo is now a high school champion, why is he still so depressed?"

Gongsun Nuo and Yang Zhiqi glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, Gongsun Nuo put down his wine glass and said softly, "The high school champion is a happy event, but it is a pity that you can't get it if you have ambitions." Brother Huo is now in the military department, but he no longer stays in the military department all day, presumably his job makes him very dissatisfied! ”

He Chengshuang didn't follow, in his opinion, it is a good thing to be the top student in high school, and it is even better to be able to enter the military department casually, a poor child like him was finally admitted to the second class, and he could only enter the Hanlin Academy first, and then fight in the Hanlin Academy, and then he could really enter the court.

"Since there is an errand, then you should do it honestly, Brother Huo is so dissatisfied, like me can't go directly to the court!"

Gongsun Nuo raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Why should Brother He be serious, we just think it's a joke, you just listen to it." As you said, we can get an errand, which is valued by His Majesty, and we should do things well. ”

He Cheng double-focused, "Yes, Your Majesty has worked hard for Yun Country, and the meaning of the existence of Manchu Dynasty officials is not to help Your Majesty share your worries and benefit the people of Yun Kingdom?" ”

"What Brother He said is very true, but when he says this, it is very difficult to actually do it. Not to mention, if you look at the infantry army of the imperial capital, His Majesty has implemented a new policy, and the management of the imperial capital has also risen to a higher level, and it is only right that this infantry army can come out to patrol every day. If there is a cheater who cheats and cheats, is lazy in private, gives the captain some wine money, and passes ten to ten, ten to hundred, the security management of this imperial capital will not be able to achieve what His Majesty wants. ”

These words dealt a heavy blow to the hearts of everyone present.

Bai Wei received the gazes of several people, and gradually became a little apprehensive, "What? Am I not right? ”

"Wei'er, maybe our family, you should be born as a man." Bai Qiang's face was complicated, and she said with difficulty like a mixture of five flavors, "I only know how to read these truths according to the book, and it is easy to write poems, but you have never talked about the way of national policy with Mr., but you have no teacher." ”

Bai Wei blinked, looking well-behaved and innocent - she was motivated by feelings, but she didn't mean to suppress her brother, she knew the rules of this world. Even if the empress ascended the throne, the world gradually accepted it, and there was a precedent for it. But there is no precedent for a woman to become an official in the court, so she can only keep these thoughts in her heart and occasionally discuss them with her brother in private.

"Don't talk about Brother Bai, a few of us are ashamed to be inferior to the White Girl!" Yang Zhiqi patted Gongsun Nuo's shoulder and sighed softly.

Gongsun Nuo nodded, very agreeing, "It's a pity, if there is a precedent, maybe Your Majesty will appoint the white girl to enter the court as an official!" ”

He Chengshuang silently closed his mouth, carefully thought about Bai Wei's words in his mind, and couldn't help but be full of admiration.

"Well, you don't have to ......" Bai Wei broke out in a cold sweat, not wanting her unintentional words to have such a big impact in the ears of these talents, she was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Two, they're inside."

"Alright, you can go down."

"Hey, what do you need from the guest officer, just command!"

After the knock on the door, there was a conversation between two people, one of whom was the guy who had led the way, and the other ...... Several people in the room looked at each other, and their eyes lit up. They are worried about how to inquire about the news of the champion of the literary examination, this red man next to His Majesty, the proper silver medal guard in front of the palace, must know this answer!

"Brother Su, Brother Wang!" He Chengshuang took the lead in walking over and opening the door, and sure enough, it was Jiuzun and Su Lingnan, "Oh, what a coincidence, Brother Su only said that you eat wine, but he didn't say that you are in this restaurant." ”

Everyone in the room stood up in a proper manner, because Jiuzun was now the highest official among them, and they were all more cautious.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Su Lingnan bowed his hand to everyone in the room one by one, and Jiuzun came in and looked at them one by one, hugging his fists slightly.

"How did you know we were here?" Gongsun Nuo glanced at Su Lingnan, then turned his gaze to Jiuzun and stared at it for a long time.

Su Lingnan arched his hand again, and said politely, "It's Brother Wang's clever plan to take me directly to knock on the door." ”

"Poof, hahahaha, clever calculation?" Gongsun Nuo said with a smile, "Needless to say, Brother Wang is now the silver medal guard in front of His Majesty's palace, naturally he has a lot of means, hey, I heard that the guards in front of the palace are not allowed to leave His Majesty's body, Brother Wang, is Your Majesty also on this floor?" ”

Jiuzun's gaze turned, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a little surprised, "Yes, Your Majesty is in another private room." ”

Gongsun Nuo originally said it with a joking attitude, and wanted to talk to Jiuzun, who had never been smiling, and looked at the somewhat cold Jiuzun set, but he didn't expect that he was crooked, in a word.

"This, such a coincidence......" Gongsun Nuo was stunned, and then suddenly a cold sweat broke out from the back of his head - why is it so coincidental today? I was found in the teahouse by the fire plow, and I met Su Lingnan and Wang Jiu in the restaurant, and I happened to meet Your Majesty! Could it be that His Majesty did it on purpose? Could it be that His Majesty arranged all this?

"Your Majesty heard that a few people made some noise in the teahouse, and went to the restaurant to eat again, and I was worried that a few young people would cause trouble, so I came to the restaurant first to watch." Jiuzun said naturally, and he didn't realize that the faces of the few people listening in front of him were getting redder and redder, and their heads were getting lower and lower.

"Uh, Brother Wang, didn't you say that Your Majesty has orders?" Su Lingnan saw that several people changed color, so he had to remind Jiuzun with a forced smile.

Jiuzun suddenly, "By the way, Your Majesty has something to say, a few people can pay close attention to the eyes of the people in their leisure time, the eyes of the people are your shadows, and the rumors in the market are mirrors." Don't let some unpleasant rumors spread out and ruin the image of hundreds of officials. ”

Several people were confused while listening, and it wasn't until the last sentence came out that they finally understood what this meant, and nodded one after another, "Yes, I'll pay attention to myself." ”

Jiuzun hummed and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Gongsun Nuo and He Chengshuang in unison.

"Brother Wang, the younger brother is actually having doubts, I wonder if Brother Wang is willing to make it convenient?" Gongsun Nuo said with a smile.

"What doubts?"

"This year's winter examination has produced the top talents in the civil and military examinations, but after the list comes out, the champions in the literary examination are anonymous, and the younger brother dares to ask, even if we are not from Yunguo, we should take the real-name exam, right? Why is this champion of the literary examination so mysterious? ”

Gongsun Nuo said to himself, looking like what I said was very reasonable, but he didn't notice that Jiuzun's face was getting colder and colder, and as soon as he finished speaking, Jiuzun snorted coldly and turned his head and left.

"Huh? Wang, brother Wang? Gongsun Nuo was dumbfounded, even Su Lingnan was dumbfounded, why did Brother Wang's face change when he talked about this champion in the literary examination?

Gongsun Nuo watched Jiuzun leave quickly, and couldn't help but be a little flustered, "What's the matter?" What did I say wrong? ”

"Brother Gongsun doesn't need to worry, it seems that this mysterious champion has something else to hide, let's not inquire about this matter in the future." Bai Wei was sensitive to the strangeness of this matter, shook her head at everyone, and invited the stunned Su Lingnan to sit down at the table, "Brother Su came late, Brother Huo just ate too much wine and has already fallen asleep." ”

"Fire, fire plow?" Su Lingnan walked a few steps to the inner room and saw the fire plow sleeping on the bed, "You also made an appointment with him today?" Didn't you say don't bother him these days? ”

"That's what the Fire Commander told me, which means to hone him a lot, saying that he is impatient, and he is easy to get carried away when he is a champion in junior high school, so the Fire Commander put him in the military department." Yang Zhiqi explained, "However, it was not him we made an appointment today, it was he who found us, and he was still angry and angry, so I waited so as not to cause trouble, so I persuaded him to come to eat and drink, you see, isn't it much quieter now?" ”

"Oh, I see." Su Lingnan nodded, sat down, and said to Gongsun Nuo, "Brother Gongsun, don't care, this Brother Wang is such a character, I am dissatisfied with you and said, I was eating with Brother Wang just now, and I also asked this question, but Brother Wang turned his face on the spot and rushed out of the door." ”

"Huh? What kind of character is this mysterious champion? ”

"I don't know, just looking at Brother Wang's appearance, I don't like it very much."

"No wonder this mysterious champion hasn't moved recently, and I haven't heard of putting it in the court." Gongsun Nuo shook his head, "That's it, Miss Bai is right, we won't investigate this matter again in the future." ”
