Chapter 363: Black Iron Gongshi

Renjie, how can you get drunk? ”

"Why are you drunk at such a critical time?"

"Drinking is wrong, drinking is harmful!"

Li Kui was still a little confused when he touched his head, which was a symptom after a hangover. Speaking of which, he forgot all about last night, if it weren't for Gao Yu going around in circles in front of him, counting him down with a long sigh, and even complaining bitterly about his 'crimes' against His Majesty and the ministers in the Jiying Palace. Li Kui couldn't understand at all, he was obviously eating and drinking happily outside yesterday, why did he come to the palace in a blink of an eye?

But even so, Li Kui was not worried at all. On the contrary, it is Gao Yu's anxious appearance, which makes people can't help but speculate. It seems that it is not Li Kui who is causing trouble, but he is high-spirited.

After Li Kui was chattered by Gao Yu on the side, he really remembered a lot.

He remembered coming home yesterday and an old man beating him with a stick......

Touching the back of his head, sure enough, it was a big bag. This can't be tolerated, and he dares to sneak attack Li Ye, he has lived enough, what's the matter! felt that this matter was more important than causing the minister's dissatisfaction, and glared at Gao Yu and said, "By the way, an old man attacked me yesterday, do you know who it is?" ”

"Old man?"

Gao Yu was stunned, he and Li Kui were talking about a big incident that burned his eyebrows, but why did Li Kui's brain suddenly think that someone attacked him yesterday?

With his appearance, who would dare to sneak attack him in the capital?

Gao Yu knows Li Kui's character, and if he doesn't understand what he wants to know, he will never give up. I had to say kind words: "After you wait for the court princes to pass the level, go buy some gifts to apologize to Zhang Jiaotou, anyway, this matter is not a big deal, for the sake of your reputation, this matter will be turned into a big thing, and a small thing will be turned into a small thing." ”

Li Kui was stunned, and then said unhappily: "I was beaten, and I was still in a hurry to give gifts, what is the origin of this sect leader?" ”

"Origin?" Gao Yu touched his chin and said: What is the origin of the old ant-like existence. But Li Kui did too much to do this, and if he was really played by the Taiwan officials, it would inevitably be another big trouble. Gao Yu sighed, sat on the ground in front of Li Kui, and secretly glanced at the door, and found that Xiao Huangmen was napping at the door, so he said with confidence: "Lao Zhangtou has no background, but he is a sect leader who is not in the forbidden army." It's just that you broke into his yard yesterday and stormed his daughter's boudoir...... It's about the reputation of my daughter's family, and you and my brother should always express it. ”

Li Kui was shocked at this time, and said weakly: "What happened to my daughter?" ”

Gao Yu glanced at Li Kui with disgust, and said in his heart: With the courage of your two women, what else can you do with his daughter? That night, Li Kui rushed into someone's house with a drunken body, and then directly broke into someone's daughter's boudoir, and then occupied someone's daughter's boudoir, and then nothing happened, Li Kui fell asleep in the room until Hao Sui came to the door.

In the middle of the night, the emperor has to send someone to pick up the big people who enter the palace, and Zhang Jiaotou's small official body can no longer be small, what else dare to say?

This kind of ugly thing has not been done by Jinshi since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. And Li Kui's house, the ugliness of Shizi after high school, filled in some of the blanks, that's all.

Although Li Kui has not yet been given the status of Jinshi by the emperor, it is a matter of time before it is a matter of time.

Gao Yu said while squeezing his eyebrows and bewildering Li Kui: "But speaking of which, Lao Zhangtou's dejected appearance, his daughter is quite handsome, and she will be a charming beauty embryo in two years." ”

These words made Li Kui blush, but fortunately, his complexion was dark and he couldn't see it.

I had to change the subject and talk about the things in the main hall.

Speaking of this, Gao Yu's emotions became excited, as if Li Kui had done something rebellious, causing Gao Yu, a friend, to be unbearable. This made Li Kui very surprised, and he always felt that there was an impression in his mind. There seems to be something else going on...... So, he asked Gao Yu tentatively: "Yesterday, I was drunk and didn't you do it, and then in the end, you got me drunk?" ”

"Why! I will salute you three bowls of wine, you have no problem with three catties of wine, such a big bowl of three bowls of wine, at most half a catty. Gao Yu shouted, and then gestured with both hands to the size of the wine bowl.

Li Kui really remembered, he had a vague impression just now, patted his head and said: "I remember, the last bowl of wine yesterday was your toast, otherwise I wouldn't be drunk!" ”

"Didn't my brother see that you were going to get drunk?" It turned out that the last attack was Gao Yu's insidious means. Seeing Li Kui glaring at him angrily, Gao Yu laughed dryly, and then changed his words: "Is this a drunken thing?" This is face, talent! Yesterday it was my brother, but yesterday your palace exam just ended, isn't my brother happy? Some of our gentlemen have also been admitted to the Jinshi, and in the future, my brother will be on duty in the palace, and his waist will be even tougher. ”

"But my brother didn't expect you to participate in a palace exam casually, and there would be such trouble. His Majesty summoned him, and all the civil officials in the court gathered, but I don't blame my brother for saying you, you finally messed up the matter. But you must know that Bachelor Xiao Su has always looked at us unpleasantly, and if you shine yesterday, it can be regarded as winning glory for Bachelor. But listening to Tong Guan's meaning, you seem to have snored before you said a word in the Jiying Hall yesterday. ”

"You've disgraced the Bachelor!" Gao Yu concluded angrily.

Anything, as long as it is related to Su Shi's body, Gao Yu will treat this matter as a big deal, Li Kui's drunkenness has become an insulting behavior in Gao Yu's eyes, and he needs to stand up and reprimand Li Kui's misbehavior.

"It was like that yesterday, though you shouldn't be blamed on it. But as long as you have the usual quick wit, you won't end up with the result of the three sessions now. Also, what did you write during the palace exam? I always felt a little frightened and unstable. ”

Maintaining Su Shi's dignity is a belief that he can't bypass in his life. After counting Li Kui for a while, Gao Yu asked the reason for the matter.

Li Kui recalled: "It seems to be writing about how to govern the country!" ”

"Don't fool me, my brother is also a scholar who has passed the examination of Kaifeng Mansion." Gao Yu said angrily: "Isn't the strategy just writing about how to govern the country?" ”

What's more, Su Zhe has always looked at him unpleasantly, and it can't be regarded as unpleasant. It should be more serious than being unpleasant, looking down on him. Gao Yu dared to be angry with Su Zhe, but he would not do anything to frame Su Zhe, he was always a bachelor's family. But obviously, the little inferiority complex in Gao Yu's heart began to pantothenic.

It is also strange to say that Su Zhe's identity is more reliable than Su Shi's bachelor's identity. But Gao Yu never called Su Zhe a bachelor.

Li Kui had a general impression of yesterday's events, touched his head and said to Gao Yu: "Brother Gao, go and help me get some water, and prepare some food, I'm hungry!" ”

Gao Yu rolled his eyes and complained: "Yes, it's all in vain." ”

The palace is not as good as the outside, Gao Yu can only beg the eunuchs in the palace, and he also left a huge favor to get some snacks and water. However, Li Kui is his benefactor and a good brother, since Li Kui opened his mouth, there are many difficulties, and Gao Yu categorically has no reason to refuse, he still has this righteousness.

Today's Gao Yu is alive with the word righteousness.

However, Li Kui didn't let him stop eating, and urged on the side: "Renjie, you can hurry up." Your Majesty has already moved to the Jiying Palace, and you may be seeing you soon. ”

On the contrary, Li Kui was not in a hurry, what did he still write when he recalled yesterday's palace exam? I remember some, but it's not complete, this is the evil result of a hangover, Li Kui wants to be clear-headed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it for a while. I couldn't help but secretly warn myself: "You can't get drunk in the future." ”

Speaking of which, Li Kui doesn't have much experience getting drunk. He can also drink a lot, three catties, which is reasonable in this era.

Compared with the amount of wine that Shizu Su Shi poured in a glass, he can already be called a wine fairy. But the wine of this era was full of strength, either rice wine, or rice wine, that is, corn wine, or fruit wine.

Fruit wine is only sold in low-class liquor stores, and it is not liked by the public because of its slightly sour taste.

On the contrary, it is the most common rice wine. The taste is soft and sweet, and it is quite popular with young and old. But there is a downside to rice wine, it is full of stamina. This is precisely the most sought-after feeling of this era, slightly drunk and fluttering, like the wonder of immortals.

Sure enough, Gao Yu, the crow's mouth, was right, and Li Kui hadn't eaten two bites, and Hao Sui took small steps and came in a hurry.

When he saw Gao Yu, he snorted coldly.

Seeing Li Kui eating, he still snorted coldly.

Then Yin Yang said angrily: "Gao Yu, you treat this palace as your home, why do you still eat it?" ”

He was talking about Gao Yu, but Hao Sui's eyes were staring at Li Kui, and he didn't hide his dislike for Li Kui in his heart. The sharp voice made people uncomfortable: "Li Kui, Your Majesty wants to see you." ”

Li Kui glared at Hao Sui and said, "I'm going to faint to death, do you believe it or not?" ”

The two of them spoke with the donkey's head at the horse's mouth, but both sides understood. Li Kui is unhappy, who will Hao Sui show his face? It didn't take long for Hao Sui's face to pretend to be cold, he drooped down, his momentum plummeted, and he had completely lost his previous confidence, no one could see what he thought in his heart, but an old face squeezed like a chrysanthemum that had failed miserably, and said in a low voice: "Ancestor, you are my ancestor, right?" Our family is also unlucky, how did we meet a kid like you. ”

"You should say the upstart ......"

Of course, Jinshi can become an upstart, but if the other party is a eunuch or a eunuch of the Liupin Detention Class, this upstart is a fart in his eyes.

But Hao Sui didn't dare to provoke Li Kui, he couldn't understand that he had been an errand boy in the palace for more than 20 years, and the minister of civil and military affairs had seen countless things, but he had never met such a shameless person as Li Kui.

Slandering, and what he said was justified, it was a shame for the reader.

"Alright, Master Jinshi, can you leave now?" Hao Sui could only lower his waist again.

Li Kui nodded with satisfaction, and said with a high spirit: "Lead the way in front of the head." ”

When he came to Jiying Palace, Li Kui was stopped by the Golden Gun Squad, these people were wearing bright armor, and they didn't pay attention to practicality, so they asked for beauty. Not to mention, in the sun, the majestic is as brave and mighty as a heavenly soldier and a general. Of course, there is also a name for the Golden Gun Class, which is called the Samurai in front of the Palace. The samurai who can work here are all innocent sons of the shomen.

After Hao Sui entered the main hall, he shouted soon after: "Pass Li Kui." ”

"Minister Li Kui, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Flat!" Emperor Zhao Xu said tiredly, he thought that Li Kui was excited, capable of doing things, and a worry-free person. But in a blink of an eye, this guy gave him a dismount.

If you change people, in this kind of scene, after standing up, you will have to bow your head and wait for the emperor, or the big men in the palace to ask.

But after Li Kui raised his head, he looked around.

Zhang Duan came, Su Zhe also came, and the sparse beard should be Cai Bian, Lao Fan didn't know whether he was really sleepy or fake, and his head was dozing off one after another. Li Qingchen has seen it, the chief examiner of the palace examination, the distance is not far, for Li Kui's almost cheating eyesight, he can see the folds on Li Qingchen's face.

"Li Kui, you are guilty!"

Li Qingchen didn't speak, but Zhang Shangying, who was the younger brother, jumped out and pointed at Li Kui's menacing scolding.

Zhang Shangying, this person, has always been unlucky, and several times he has the opportunity to make a career, and he has become his wheat city. Every time he left a back miserably, he walked towards the road of debasement.

is still in the dynasty now, according to his qualifications, he should have been before Cai Jing, but he could only take refuge in Li Qingchen and mix up the identity of the deputy chief examiner.

The imperial court opened the imperial examination, and the main examination is not to mention that it is famous in history, but at least it can be recorded in the historical materials, but it is difficult to say about the deputy chief exam. Now he jumped out, in fact, according to his official position, he is right, he belongs to the subordinate officials of Zhongshu Province, he still has Zhongshu Sheren above him, and there is also Zhongshu Shilang above, the official is not big, and his temper is quite rushing.

Who are the people in the Jiying Palace?

Emperor, let's not talk about it.

Prime Minister Zhang Dian, Deputy Prime Minister Su Zhe, Li Qingchen; The consuls, the left and right scholars and servants shot Fan Chunren and Cai Bian, and there was a Zeng Bu, although he was not appointed, but he also held the official position of a Hanlin scholar, but it was already clear in the court that Zeng Bu would know the Privy Council.

If it weren't for the identity of the deputy chief examiner, Zhang Shangying's move would inevitably be impeached by the imperial history.

Li Kui blinked his eyes for a while, it was impossible to sell cuteness, and there was only one way left for him to pretend to be stupid: "The student doesn't know." Let the students think about it. ”

Zhang Shangying has never been in contact with Li Kui, so he doesn't know that this guy is a donkey, you are full of momentum, and he is more imposing than you. If it weren't for the court, Zhang Shangying would also be the deputy chief examiner of this department, and Li Kuifei would give him a look.

But even so, Zhang Shangying was angry enough.

His current official position is not easy to come by, as a member of the law change faction, Wang Anshi doesn't want to see him, and Sima Guang doesn't want to see him. He was demoted all the way from Zhongshu Province to Jingnan as a tax supervisor.

Don't say he's a two-rank jinshi. Su Shi's eldest son, Su Mai, who was born in Enyin, did not want to see the official position, and in the end he simply quit. He was struggling in a bitter place like Jingzhou. finally transferred, but changed his career to become a criminal officer, it can be said that he has experienced the most bumpy career in Shilin, a traditional jinshi.

His own father beat him, that is true love; The stepfather beat him, it was an eyesore. Over the years, Zhang Shangli has become a grandson. After learning from the pain, he decided to change his past mistakes and take refuge in Li Qingchen, the bigwig of the small generation.

At this time, it was impossible for Li Qingchen to come forward to reprimand Li Kui, because of his identity, he had to hold it.

This matter can only be done by Zhang Shangying.

Zhang Shangying rushed up, but Li Kui pierced a soft nail and broke it. In desperation, Zhang Shangying had no choice but to give him Li Kui's scroll, but he didn't expect Li Kui to see the scroll, but he asked Zhang Shangying: "Can the palace exam ranking be released?" ”

"You are a candidate, remember who you are."

"It's just not out yet." Li Kui sneered at the scroll in Yang's hand and shouted: "Why did my name be revealed, what is your intention?" You are the deputy chief examiner, and you openly destroy the ancestral system of the palace test, and the minister Li Kui ......"

When Li Kui said this, he saluted in front of Emperor Zhao Xu and shouted: "Zhang Shangying, the deputy chief examiner of the first year of the Shaosheng Palace Examination, disregarded the national law, uncovered the candidate's name without authorization, and committed fraud. ”

"No, I don't!"

Zhang Shangying hurriedly shouted injustice, it stands to reason that it was not his decision to uncover the name, Zhang Dian, the emperor, and Su Zhe all nodded. He didn't uncover it by hand. But the problem is that Zhang Shangying has encountered too many things in his life that have affected the pond fish, and he is really worried that he will carry the black pot to the big guy again for no reason.

"Aiqing, and step aside." Zhao Xu suddenly felt that Li Kui was a little difficult, but he was eager to know Li Kui's solution to the population problem. He thought about this question all night, and the ministers also thought about it all night, but he didn't have a clue at all. I can only find the initiator Li Kui to explain, if Li Kui can't explain clearly, I am afraid that the same Jinshi background in this palace test will not run, and it may be a joke that ends up in the last place: "Li Kui, you mentioned the population in your article, I am very worried, since the first time Renzong came, my mouth has increased by tens of millions, but I have repeatedly caused trouble because of people." Since you have raised this question, you must have thought of a way, and I hope to speak freely and forgive you for your innocence. ”

As soon as Emperor Zhao Xu spoke, he blocked all Li Kui's retreats.

What does it mean to 'forgive you without sin'?

Only by saying the solution can you go home safely and be truly innocent.

If you really just set fires, and don't put out fires, you are likely to have a tragedy.

Thinking of this, Li Kui couldn't help but be nervous for himself. But he can be weak and bottomless. But the face must not be revealed, not only can not be revealed, but the momentum must be sufficient. Li Kui raised his head, puffed up his chest, gave people a sense of majestic momentum, and said: "To solve the population hardship, the minister has three strategies to choose from. ”

The emperor was moved on the dragon chair, this is a capable minister! Zhao Xu said in surprise: "Aiqing, come on, what's the best policy?" ”

"Migration." Li Kui cut the railway.

"Where's the middle strategy?" The emperor was a little disappointed, he could come up with this method, but it didn't work.

Li Kui resolutely said: "Migration." ”

"What's next?"

The emperor's face was darkened, and he felt that Li Kui hadn't woken up from the wine, and he was still talking nonsense at this time.

Li Kui said loudly: "It's still migration!" ”

In the Jiying Palace, from the emperor to the prime minister, from the prime minister to the ruling power, and finally fell on the deputy chief examiner Zhang Shangying's face with a ghostly expression, looking at Li Kui's eyes as if he was mentally retarded.

Zhang Shangying even secretly rejoiced in his heart: "This fight is doomed." ”
