Taixue, sacrificial wine office.

Wang Chengan is in a good mood, with a pot of wine and several snacks in front of him, he likes to drink a little wine alone when he is happy, and enjoy this comfort.

The reason why he was happy was because he heard that the emperor had ordered Ye Yunyang to enter the palace, and it seemed that Yu Shitai's complaint had already worked.

Thinking back on his efforts over the years, step by step, and his current status, as well as the eye-catching saint Zhenglong, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

He was originally an ordinary Taixue graduate, most of his classmates were in the military or politics, only he chose to stay in school, starting from a lowest-level probationary teacher, and worked diligently for decades, successively promoted to third-level teaching, second-level, first-level, and later promoted to probationary doctor, doctor, and then served as a scholar and secretary, and finally overwhelmed the crowd in the competition, becoming Qin Wei's successor, and serving as a sacrificial wine.

Less than four months after he became a sacrificial wine, the emperor brought the crown prince to inspect, which fully demonstrated the importance of Taixue and his appreciation for himself.

According to his personal ability, Wang Chengan can only be regarded as decent, far from his predecessor Qin Wei, and many people believe that his promotion is just a matter of seniority.

As for Qin Wei's resignation, it is a little intriguing, he is in the prime of life, he governs Taixue in an orderly manner, and he is the eldest disciple of the Holy Priest He Xuanyuan, and the younger brother of the Holy Temple High Priest Huo Hong, with such a background behind him, why was he deposed by the emperor?

Wang Cheng'an is one of the very few people who knows the true face, it is because he has been in Taixue for decades, and he knows the way very well, not because the emperor does not trust Qin Wei, but to avoid the people of the Holy Temple Sect from becoming too powerful. He Xuanyuan's disciples are all elites, almost controlling the top ten colleges and universities in the empire, as well as the top ten holy temples, under their influence, generation after generation of people have been engraved with the brand of holy temples, and there will definitely be problems in the long run.

Out of this consideration, the emperor found a painless reason to transfer Qin Wei to other departments, because Wang Chengan was a hardcore Taixue faction, so he would overwhelm several other candidates and finally win the fruits of victory.

Footsteps sounded outside, Wang Chengan frowned, he didn't like to be disturbed while enjoying his comfort.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine, news has just come from the palace that Ye Yunyang has been allowed to dine with the emperor and the crown prince. The visitor whispered.

"What?" he jumped up from his chair, his eyes widened, and said, "That kid should be punished, even if the emperor and the crown prince are partial, and can't bear to punish him, they should be reprimanded, how can they be allowed to eat together?"

Eating with the emperor is definitely a great honor, since Liu Qi ascended the throne, there are definitely no more than ten people who can win this honor in the past few decades, how can he Ye Yunyang?

The person who came said softly: "It's true, this matter has spread in the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids are running to tell each other, saying that Ye Yunyang will become the upstart of the Han officialdom, I believe that many ministers have also got the news, and they will definitely start a new round of stammering against him." ”

The so-called new round is because many people have already befriended Ye Yunyang before, and it is precisely because of this that he can harvest a room of precious gifts.

Wang Chengan walked back and forth in the house a few times, shook his head and said: "No, the beater has become a guest of honor, and the emperor and the crown prince will not be deaf to this extent." Broken ......"

He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "It must be Gao Yuanpeng that they are lying, and things are not as they say, so the kid surnamed Ye will get the emperor's forgiveness...... Yes, it must be so, that is, that the sacrificial wine is falsely accused of him, and that he is rewarded, and that I am not going to be unlucky?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but jump in shock, opened the door and said angrily: "Go and call Gao Yuanpeng's guys over, right away!"

Ten minutes later, the four guys came here yawning and were beaten during the day, so they went to bed earlier at night, having just been dragged out of the bed.

The four of them saw that the priest's face was pale, and his eyes flashed with the light of wanting to eat people, and they instantly fell asleep.

Gao Yuanpeng cautiously asked, "Lord Sacrificial Wine, what are your orders for calling me to come late at night?"

"Command, how dare this seat have any orders to you, you are too polite. Wang Chengan snorted.

Gao Pengyuan broke out in a cold sweat, even a fool could hear the dissatisfaction in his words, what happened?

Wang Chengan endured the anger in his chest, and asked in a deep voice: "This seat will ask you again, what happened in the teahouse today, why did Ye Yunyang have a conflict with you, and then answer after thinking about it." ”

Gao Yuanpeng chuckled in his heart, didn't he already make it clear during the day, why did he bring up the old things again? The three companions glanced at him together, meaning let's tell the truth.

He frowned, feeling that he should stick to what he had said before the matter was clarified, so he said, "Lord Sacrificial, the student has nothing to add, and what he said during the day is true. ”

Wang Chengan sneered: "Yes, then you can help me analyze why Ye Yunyang won the honor of dining with His Majesty and the crown prince after being summoned to the palace?"

"Huh?" all four of them widened in amazement.

Gao Yuanpeng's head was covered with sweat, and his legs began to tremble.

"Say it quickly! If you dare to hide it, this seat will flay you alive!" Wang Chengan shouted.

The four of them knelt on the ground together, and the least daring one said, "We lied to you, in fact, we provoked it first...... scolded Guozijian and the prisoner first, but we didn't know that there was a person from Guozijian next door, and we didn't know that the sound insulation of the teahouse's private room was so bad. ”

Wang Chengan frowned: "How did you scold?"

"It is said that the Guozi Prison is a disgrace, and the prisoners are all waste wood...... I don't deserve to carry our shoes too much......"

"What else?" asked Wang Cheng'an, gritting his teeth.

The guy glanced at his companion next to him and whispered, "Also, it is said that Ye Yunyang is not worthy of being the first merit of the Southern Expedition, and the merit of greedy heaven is his own...... said that he deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, and pressed his master Chen Muyang on the merit book. ”

Another guy added: "He also said that he is also a waste of firewood, and if you find a student to come out, you can beat him down." Then he broke down the door with two of his companions and fought without saying a word, but we are not lying, it was he who did it first. ”

Wang Cheng'an trembled with anger, pointed at the four people with a trembling hand and said, "You guys...... You're so daring, what did I ask you during the day, why didn't you tell the truth?"

Gao Yuanpeng realized the seriousness of the matter, lowered his head and said, "It's all the student's fault, you shouldn't deceive the wine lord." ”

"It's nothing to deceive this seat, are you a bunch of pig brains?" Wang Chengan broke out and scolded: "Only those who have brains in the water will question Ye Yunyang's first merit in the Southern Expedition, and if you question him, you are questioning the emperor's decision, understand? How could this seat believe your slander and run to complain to the Imperial Tower, this is called framing the nobles, you know?"

Gao Peng was far from convinced: "But he did beat us......"

"Shouldn't you be beaten if you question the emperor's decision and insult the nobles?" Wang Chengan said angrily: "You guys get out of here immediately, get out as far as possible, don't let me see you!"

The four of them, you look at me, I look at you, and they want to ask for the forgiveness of the priest, but Wang Chengan didn't leave them a chance, pointed to the gate and shouted: "Get out!"

They fled, and the man who was reporting the situation outside just now said in a deep voice: "Don't be angry, just send a letter admitting your mistake tomorrow morning, I believe Your Majesty will not blame you, after all, you are also a calf protector, so you listened to the villain's words." ”

Wang Chengan's old face was flushed, he was a person with a proud personality, and he had just been a sacrificial wine for a short time, so he confessed his mistake, where did he put his face?

Besides, he doesn't think that a letter of admitting mistakes can help him get through, if the emperor really doesn't pay attention to this matter, why would he let Ye Yunyang eat together, which shows that he feels that Ye Yunyang has been wronged, so as to appease him, can he let go of the person who made him wronged?

"You go out first, and let this seat think about it alone. He waved his hand and said.

The man bowed to him and turned to leave without forgetting to close the door.

The so-called unpredictable holy will refers to the decisions made by the emperor, which are often beyond everyone's imagination, and the big things may turn into small things, and small things may also become shocking storms.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to admit his mistakes, not only to write, but also to write sincerely, even if he couldn't help himself pass, at least he could show his attitude in front of the emperor and prove that he was a person who knew his mistakes and was willing to change.

He wrote hard, changing it eight times in a row, until the sky was dark, and he reached his satisfaction, carefully drying the ink with his mouth.

Taixue sacrificial wine is not a court official, and is not qualified to appear in the early court, and the excerpt needs to be handed to the recital office first, and the officials of the recital office will hand it over to the emperor.

He changed into a clean school official uniform and planned to set off here.

"Master Sake, don't you want to leave after you eat?" the servant came over with a tray on which was a hot breakfast.

"It's all burning eyebrows, and there's still the mood to eat. "He didn't have a good air.

At this time, the priest on duty at the gate hurried over and said, "Lord Sacrificial Wine, just now there was a message from the small yellow gate in the palace, saying that the holy decree is about to arrive, and informing you to prepare to receive the decree. ”

Wang Chengan was stunned: "So early?"

In his impression, the decrees were issued from the palace after the end of the morning dynasty, and arrived at the destination at noon or afternoon, and he had never heard of the decrees coming at dawn.

A hint of uneasiness welled up in his heart, and he tightened the fold in his hand, not knowing what to do.

The edict urged: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and prepare the incense case candlestick, the holy decree will arrive soon." ”
