Chapter 243: Retaliation

Liu Honghui had already set off for Yanzhou after the state test, preparing to hand over the work with Cui Jishu.

The list of Dingzhou state examination admissions was also sent to Luoyang, and Gao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was reviewed in Zhongshu Province and then printed and sent to the Ministry of Officials, and the name and place of origin were registered by the Department of Literature and Selection.

Cui Xian, the squire who presided over the specific government affairs of the Ministry of Officials, asked for the specific ranking of the Dingzhou State Examination from the Literature and Anthology Division.

As a native of Dingzhou, it is reasonable and understandable for him to care about the scientific research situation in his hometown.

When he saw Cui Zhen, who was ranked third in the classic department, Cui Xian frowned.

The contradiction between him and Cui Ning, the father of Cui Geng, is also very simple, but Cui Ning often boasts with Lu Yuanming, a native of Fanyang, in front of people:

'There are only two families in the world, you and me, what are the Boling Cui clan and the Zhaojun Li clan! ’

There is no lack of contempt for the Boling Cui clan and the Zhao Jun Li clan in the words.

The clan was humiliated, and it was impossible to laugh at it in other dynasties, not to mention that this was the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the reputation of the clan was related to the vital interests of the children of the scholar clan.

Cui Xian didn't have any other thoughts about Cui Ning, so he was bent on killing the other party.

Friends may not really know each other, but enemies often know the roots.

Cui Xian is very aware of Cui Geng's talent and learning, but he really can't interfere in the Dingzhou imperial examination.

Not to mention whether Di Gan will buy his account, even Di Gan's own desire to determine Cui Zhen as the first in the classic subject is not satisfactory.

When he really came to Beijing to try the strategy, with Cui Zhen's literary brilliance and experience in Guangzhou, it was impossible to win the top of the classic department.

If there is really that day, Cui Xian can even imagine Cui Yong's proud appearance, which is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Cui Xian, who had been silent for a long time with the admission list in hand, finally made up his mind that he had to ruin Cui Geng's future, and it was best to send Cui Yong away happily.

In all fairness, Cui Xian is not a narrow-minded person, he recommended Xing Shao to Gao Cheng back then, but after Xing Shao entered the mansion, he mentioned Cui Xian's shortcomings to Gao Cheng several times.

Xiao Gao Wang actually doesn't have much opinion on this, no one is perfect, whether it is Cui Xian's shortcomings, or Xing Shao's habit of talking about right and wrong behind his back.

But Gao Cheng still took the opportunity to be furious, scolded Xing Shao, and deliberately claimed afterwards that Xing Shao would be expelled from Luoyang and never hired.

Xing Shao had already packed his bags and was ready to return to his hometown for retirement.

It was Gao Cheng who secretly instructed his cronies to spread the word, and Cui Xian was grateful when he learned about it, and personally came to the door to intercede for Xing Shao, which made the little Gao Wang who was indignant for him dissipated.

After a period of time, Gao Cheng summoned Xing Shao again and solemnly apologized to Xing Shao in front of all the staff.

Gao Cheng was very annoyed and blamed himself, he said that because he loved Cui Xian too much, he lost his sense of proportion in a hurry, and now after reflection, he woke up:

If someone just speaks out about the shortcomings of his cronies, he can't tolerate it, and who will dare to point out his mistakes to his face in the future.

After all, he is a little king Gao who was more beautiful than the high prince of Jinzhou at the age of eleven, and he is familiar with a "Zou Ji Satire on the King of Qi's Admonition", how can he cover his words.

Gao Huan, who was far away in Jinyang at the time, heard about Gao Cheng's performance and was amazed by the shooting.

not only killed two birds with one stone, but also touched Cui Xian and Xing Shao, but also established an image of caring for his subordinates and changing after hearing it.

The emotional intelligence part is really pinched by Xiao Gao Wang.

The cohesion and centripetal force of Gao Cheng's civil and military team have never been obtained by shaking off the king's domineering spirit.

As the heir of the Gao family, it is easy to gain the loyalty of his subordinates, but it is only a little bit of grace that makes them work for themselves.

Cui Xian is a doer, and if he talks about it, it is impossible to get Gao Cheng's love and reuse.

His open-mindedness towards Xing Shao is in stark contrast to his hatred of Cui Ning, but since he has decided to ruin Cui Zhen's future and even kill Cui Ning's family, Cui Xian immediately set out to try to implement this.

Facts have proved that even if he is born in four surnames and five clans, Xindu Jianyi Yuancong, carries the general of the Che Cavalry, Doctor Zuo Guanglu, Huangmen Shilang, and Fengwucheng County Gong.

A prominent official like Cui Yong can't compete with Cui Xian's identity as Gao Cheng's confidant.

What's more, although Cui Xian is only the deputy minister of the Ministry of Officials of one of the six departments of Shangshu Province, and Cui Ning, as the squire of the Yellow Gate, is the deputy official of the Menxia Province who is one of the three provinces alongside Shangshu Province.

But in terms of authority, Cui Xian is more important than Cui Ning, which can be known from the fact that Cui Ang and Cui Yong are both Huangmen squires, and Cui Ang is in Gao Cheng's heart, no matter what, he can't compare to Cui Xian.

Cui Xian started to dig up the black material of Cui Ning's family, and he found that he didn't even need to make it up himself, which was enough to kill Cui Ning.

Of course, this does not include Cui Ning's favorite concubine Feng and Xing Shao and others.

In a pile of black materials, in Cui Xian's opinion, the one who can really take Cui Ning's life has to make a fuss from two of them, and these two black materials are Cui Ning's words.

Although Cui Yong is talented, he is a big mouth who doesn't guard the door, and he dares to say anything, but as long as he can understand the truth of the trouble, he will not make an enemy of Cui Xian.

The first piece of black material was provided by Shi Kai, the Taishou of Qinghe, who entered Beijing to report on his work, and when he was in Qinghe, he visited Cui Ning's mansion and scared the young people of the Cui family:

"Don't be a thief in the future, you sons, I'm going to kill people." ’

As a result, Cui Ning, who was returning to his hometown at home, heard it and immediately said to his children:

He didn't answer Taishou yet: Our family is a thief, but we only grab the arm of a son of heaven and drag him down the temple, and then catch another son of heaven and push him up to the temple, and we don't be thieves who steal donkeys and calves. ’

This answer is witty enough, and it is indeed stupid.

To put it mildly, this is to take the abolition of Yuan Gong and the abolition of Yuan Shanjian as his own.

To put it mildly, your Qinghe Cui clan is only a thief who abolishes the Son of Heaven, so who wants the Son of Heaven in the future, isn't it the Gao clan!

If the first article is a little far-fetched, then it is linked to the second article, and Cui Yong is at a loss for words.

The second piece of black material was told by Cui Xian's wife's brother Li Shen that he had heard someone mention that after Gao Cheng guarded Luoyang, Cui Ying had said something in private when he returned to his hometown:

'Can a yellow-jawed child also take on a heavy responsibility? ’

And Li Shen also gave a key witness, Xing Shao, who had not yet been recruited by Gao Cheng to enter the scene, was at the scene.

What kind of character is Gao Cheng, Cui Xian, who has been with the master for many years, knows very well that on the bright side, he can be called the master of the ages, but in fact, he is suspicious by nature and has a narrow temperament.

There is no need to mention Xiao Gaowang's suspicion, his narrow qi is mainly aimed at those who offend him.

For example, Wei Jing was imprisoned by Jizhou and sent to Luoyang, his prestige was disgraced, and he was basically in a state of social death among the nobles of Jinyang.

Hou Jing didn't listen to the order back then, and Cui Xian also knew that Gao Cheng had always held a grudge.

And Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin is still a slave in Sun Teng's mansion.

In the face of these two black materials, with the evidence of Cui Ning's corruption and bribery, Cui Xian concluded that Cui Yong would have to shed his skin if he didn't die, at least their family couldn't afford to wear an official skin.

There are also in the evening.

Thank you for the brisk and different dust of the book.
