Old men have tempers, and so does Sun Jinxian, he felt Qian Liao, an official of the Ministry of Rites, disdain for him, and the liver in his heart burned brightly.

The main reason is that Qian Liao is about the same as his official position, and if he is replaced by Sipin Langzhong, he will definitely retreat. Even if it's a foreigner, it's not an opponent he can afford to provoke.

But Qian Liao and him are half a catty, who is afraid of whom?

Qian Liao was grabbed by the old man's clothes, if he wanted to break free, it would be easy.

But the problem is that the other party is a lot older, if there is a little accident in the process of pushing and shoving, won't his life be ruined? What made him even more annoyed was that there was not even a single one on the side to persuade him. Not only not, but there are still people watching the excitement. This made the fire in his heart grow namelessly, and he even had a hot brain, thinking of the collision between Li Kui and Li Kui at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet two years ago.

That time Li Kui's troubles made Emperor Shenzong have an extra wife.

Qian Liao gritted his back molars, and said secretly in his heart: "It's a big deal, the master will be the second Li Renjie." ”

But Li Kui's original approach was more for the emperor. If Concubine Zhu had the identity of the queen mother, Emperor Zhao Xu would be able to completely get rid of the Xiang family's control over him.

It can't be said that control, but if Zhao Xu wants to inherit orthodoxy in a proper way, he must have a legitimate identity.

Concubine Zhu is his biological mother, can the emperor's mother be a concubine?

If Shenzong was alive, there would be no problem at all, but after Shenzong died, Zhu became a concubine in humiliation. The son ascended the throne and became the emperor, but the mother was a concubine. This is not at all in line with etiquette. As a result, Emperor Zhao Xu became the heir of the Empress Dowager Xiang.

Only in this way is he the rightful Ninety-Five.

After all, the emperor's mother can only be the queen mother. It's the rule. This is also one of the reasons why the emperor resents his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xuanren's move not only cut off the family affection of the Heavenly Family, but also has an extra mother who gives Zhao Xu a headache.

And after Li Kui's trouble, the emperor's biological mother also became the queen mother, although the queen mother of the two palaces is a little strange, but it is in line with the system. In the future, the emperor can completely get rid of the influence of the queen mother on him.

The more Li Kui did this, the greater the suppression, the more the emperor felt guilty about him.

If Li Kuizhen is suppressed in the northwest for ten years, ten years later, as long as the emperor lives, it will be the time for Li Kui to enter the dynasty and ascend to the sky. It's not even as good as the achievements that Wang Anshi looked up to for more than ten years.

It's a pity that Li Kui is too good at tossing, almost tossing Huang Xixia, and tossing Huang Qingtang one after another. As a result, the emperor was also puzzled, it seemed that after Li Kui was suppressed, his ability was completely released. If you become another courtier, you can't complete it in your life. But Li Kui's age is on the bright side, and it is not realistic for him to be a scholar and a servant, and to be in charge of Shangshu Province.

This is also the reason why even though Li Kui was hated by the Empress Dowager, the emperor still treated Li Kui special through the Ministry of Rites.

If Qian Liao was a small official in the Ministry of Rites, what would he dare to take such care of Li Kui?

Qian Liao's face turned red and said to the old man: "You let go!" ”

"I just don't let go, what can you do with me?" The old man was very proud, and his cloudy old eyes saw the jealousy on Qian Liao's face clearly, and his heart suddenly brightened. It turns out that fighting when he is old is not a disadvantage, at least the other party is afraid of beating him to death and getting into a life lawsuit.

Seeing that the order of the banquet was about to be destroyed, Li Kui stood up.

After all, it was about him, and he couldn't sit idly by. Fan Chong on the side hurriedly stood up, stopped in front of Li Kui, and said in a low voice: "Renjie, you are watching from the side, I'll go." ”

"You ......"

Fan Chong's self-volunteering appearance is not like perfunctory, but there is a kind of indignation of the same hatred. He said in a low voice: "I know this old thief, a petty official who is not in the stream, he likes to rely on the old and sell the old on weekdays, and regards himself as a character. I don't know, I didn't think it was the book of the ministry, and the worst should be a waiter. ”

After Fan Chong finished speaking, he swaggered to the old man who was making trouble, and put his body in front of the old man. One hand blocked the side face, and his voice was not angry but threatening: "Old man Sun has the ability to go to Li Kui for trouble, and play tricks on the officials of the Ministry of Rites, what kind of ability is it?" ”

"Boy, what kind of ability is it to be secretive?"

The old man has a lot of temperament, and he can bully Qian Liao because he is older than Qian Liao and older. If you really want to talk about official positions, they are half a catty.

What is Li Kui's identity?

Was he able to come to the door?

Officialdom rules, the lower officials salute the upper officials first, and the hierarchy is strict. What is useful for Qian Liao is not only useless for Li Kui, but also will be crushed to death by officialdom.

Fan Chong turned his face sideways and said with disgust: "Your old door is wide open, I'm afraid that if you don't notice it, you will unintentionally break the dirty water on your face." ”

"Boy, who are you?"

The old man's eyes widened and he trembled with anger. What portal is wide open? Isn't he just old and missing a front tooth? This is not a big sin, and splashing dirty water, doesn't it mean that he has bad breath?

If civil officials really bury people, they are all dead on people's defects, but they don't have a dirty word.

The old man jumped like thunder angrily, they were all scum in a green robe, who was afraid of whom?

But Fan Chong was young, and he didn't give the other party a chance to react at all, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Dare to ask this colleague, what kind of subject are you, and what is your official position?" Was he instructed by others to deliberately sabotage His Majesty's banquet, and for what purpose? Can there be a party to follow? ”

The old man was angry, he was an old man, he was aggressively attacked by a young man, and when he said it, where did he put his old face? Besides, someone instigated it and it was not valid, at most someone said a few words at the root of his ear, and he couldn't stand up in anger: "Old man Xin Weike Jinshi Sun Jinxian, is it possible that you still have to salute like you?" ”

Speaking of seniority, the old man seemed to have confidence all of a sudden, he didn't believe that Fan Chong, a young man, would be older than him?

"Xinweiko!" Fan Chong glanced at the old man and snorted coldly: "Tsk, it doesn't look like it." Look at your old age, at least you are also a Jinshi in the Jiayou years. ”

The old man is of the same age as Zhang Dian and others, but the road to the imperial examination is ...... It's hard to put into words.

In fact, Fan Chong is indeed younger than the old man, but in fact it is not too much.

Fan Chong didn't talk about himself, but pulled Qian Liao to explain to the old man: "Speaking of which, Brother Qian and I are in the same department, and we are about two years later than you. ”

"Since your seniority is not as good as that of the old man, why are you arrogant?" The old man had to ignore him, and he caught Fan Chong's weakness and wanted to attack strongly.

But can Fan Chong let him get his wish? I saw him laugh and said: "Don't be busy, although Brother Qian and I are Jinshi in the first year of Shaosheng, we will be the first in the Ququ test and the fourth in the palace test." Brother Qian is about the same as me, sixth in the palace exam. I would like to ask you, elder, how much did you rank in the palace examination? ”

"This ......"

Young people don't talk about martial arts! How can there be any reason for such a question? If he was ranked high in the palace examination, he would still be wearing a green robe and mingling in a group of petty officials. Besides, if he was in high school at one time, how could he be nearly fifty years old before he was admitted to the Jinshi?

I must have taken a lot of exams and failed.

During the period of Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty, because Zhang Yuan betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, he took refuge in the Western Xia and helped Yuan Hao defeat the Great Song Dynasty in the northwest in one fell swoop. The reason is that Zhang Yuan participated in the palace examination several times, but he repeatedly failed to enter the jinshi, and he went to Western Xia in a fit of anger. At that time, Emperor Renzong thought that because talents could not be reused, he had to go to extremes. Therefore, since Emperor Renzong, he has participated in the examination more than three times, and even if he fails the fourth time, the imperial court will give him the same Jinshi background as appropriate.

Sun Jinxian, Old Man Sun is very in line with this situation.

Don't really say it, let Fan Chong guess. The old man's face was red and white for a while, thinking that the old bottom was seen through, and he suddenly couldn't get off the stage. But when it comes to the results of the imperial examination, he really can't do it. Fan Chong has the talent of the champion, if it weren't for his father Fan Zuyu's derogation for his crimes, he would have given him the fourth place in the palace exam. Although Qian Liao's ranking is a little worse, it is not much worse. They are the elite of this subject in the first year of Shaosheng.

It is completely different from Old Man Sun's indiscriminate filling.

At this point, he has already begun to regret it.

Obviously, Fan Chong and Qian Liao have a bright future, as energetic as the rising sun, unlike him, who has entered his twilight years and can toss in officialdom in a few years.

But the old man can't get off the stage, so he can't just have an old face, right? Stiffening his neck, he said: "The imperial examination is just a road to advancement, a step from the people to the official family." You and I are both Jinshi, but we are in the past. Now that they are all court officials, they should think about making meritorious contributions to the Great Song Dynasty and assisting the officials. ”

Fan Chong spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I also want to make meritorious contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, but I am only an official, how can I have such an opportunity?" As for the assistant officials, green-robed young generals like you and me, don't dream about yellow sorghum, such good things can't be done by you and me! I wonder if Brother Sun can make immortal achievements for my Great Song Dynasty? ”

For newcomers to officialdom like them, don't think about meritorious service. According to the officialdom system of the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible to give them even the opportunity to govern.

Although Fan Chong said with a bitter face, his hippie smile looked like he was holding a dagger in his hand, stabbing the old man again and again. It seems that if you don't kill each other, you will never give up.

Li Kui is not a person who watches the play, he walked in front of the old man with a calm face, glanced at the other party with disdain, and snorted coldly: "What is your position now, why don't you salute when you see this official?" ”

The old man had a mouthful of thick phlegm blocked in his throat, and he wanted to spray Li Kui to death.

But seeing the red official robe on Li Kui's body, even if there was monstrous anger, he could only bear it. He lowered his head, bowed down to Li Kui and said, "Lord Li, I have seen Lord Li in the Ministry of Cabinet Library." ”

Li Kui arched his hand perfunctorily, and then stared at the old man with his eyes hooked.

is different from Fan Chong, who is deliberately annoying to him. Li Kui didn't do this, Li Kui stared at the old man without looking at it, but the old man seemed to be stared at by a fierce tiger, and a cool breath came from the bottom of his heart.

"Master Li, the old man is speaking out for the injustice of the Ministry of Rites, and he is targeting adults."

Do not suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness. Everyone present knows this. It is because of this unevenness that they are dissatisfied. Of course, the reason why I didn't dare to reason with Li Kui was mainly because I collided with the official, but it was a stain on my future. No one dared to be disrespectful to Li Kui.

Li Kui has an official position five or six levels higher than the old man, but he is not pretending.

The old man can grab Qian Liao's clothes and not give the other party, mainly because their official positions are about the same. But if he goes to make trouble with Li Kui regardless of it, he will make the following mistakes, not only will he not be able to give full play to his age advantage, but he will also fall into the mistake of being old and out of shape. Although he is pretending to be crazy and stupid because of his age, he also has to be crazy and stupid.

Is it good to have a dead skin and a face, and can it be the same as incontinence in public?

Seeing that Li Kui still didn't speak, the old man grunted and swallowed his saliva.

After a long time, Li Kui turned his head to Fan Chong and asked, "Pavilion Library, doesn't it sound like a serious official, it's an official?" "It turned out that Li Kui was stunned, he couldn't remember that the ministry still had an official position called 'Pavilion Treasury', what was he doing!

Other old men also endured it, but he said that he was not an official, and he couldn't bear it. In this life, he has relied on this official to live, as for being promoted and making a fortune, don't think about it, at his age, I'm afraid he won't have a chance.

"Master Li, why did you scold people as soon as you came?"

Li Kui ignored him, but stared at Fan Chong.

Fan Chong's head was a little dizzy, he only knew that the old man was a ministry, but he didn't know the 'Pavilion Library', he really remembered that there was such an official position, and said in a lost voice: "It's the responsibility of managing and storing account books, it should be an official body, right?" ”

Qian Liao nodded in agreement on the side, but did not say much.

"Boy, the cabinet library is an official position that the six ministries have, and non-virtuous and respected people can't do it, and your kid Hugh is full of nonsense and corrupts the official system of the imperial court."

"Virtuous and respectable, shouldn't it be a scholar?"

The old man almost turned his back on his anger and let Master Shangshu look at the treasury, what a big heart you have!

Seeing that Li Kui and Fan Chong echoed and belittled him, the old man's anger that was not easy to be suppressed came back again. He is the kind of character who is easy to get angry, otherwise he would not have made trouble with the officials of the Ministry of Rites because he didn't like it.

"Master Li, although Lao Er is just a dull person in the imperial examination, he is also conscientious as an official, and there is no dereliction of duty. But the old man wants to ask you, you have only been an official for more than two years, why did you get promoted so quickly? ”

Jealousy, it's all words of jealousy.

Not only the old man was jealous, but also the other officials around him.

Most of the officials who were able to attend the emperor's birthday banquet, even if they were petty officials, were from Jinshi.

They are still one or two subjects or even three subjects earlier than Li Kui and others, why should they be subservient.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Li Kui stood too high, and he had already become a thorn in the side of others. But if you want to talk about credit, Li Kui is not worried at all, others think that he won the high-ranking official by stepping on the queen mother and currying favor with the emperor. Or it was because of his marriage with the Taishi Mansion and the harem route that he was promoted rapidly. But in fact, even if someone wants to suppress his official position, he can't suppress it.

He sneered, "You incompetent fools, what else can you do but be jealous? ”

"When this official first arrived in Yan'an Mansion, he led a rampant soldier to resist the 50,000 Western Xia army, and broke it, is it fake? The official took thirty people to Western Xia, and Western Xia was forced to give up the four cities, is it fake? Last year, Qingtang attacked Qinfeng Road, and this official led the Fei Lian Army to break through Qingtang City within a month and destroy the country, is it also fake? ”

In the side hall, a needle drop could be heard suddenly, and no one dared to speak.

Li Kui's exploits are on the table, although most of them are related to battles in the army. Such merit is also despised by civil servants.

But it is necessary to distinguish clearly, the people who can despise such merits are the people who stand at the highest level in the Great Song Dynasty. At that time, Wang Shao went to Beijing to worship the privy envoy because of the subjugation of the land of Hehuang, which caused the anger of the courtiers. Don't be surprised, it's Zeng Bu, Zhang Dian, Lu Huiqing and others. And for an official position like the cabinet treasury, ordinary officials have to think about it before they can remember it, as if there is such an official, how can they be angry?

Sun Jinxian's throat was dry, but he seemed to be on a par with Li Kui, and he didn't retreat at all: "The people of Qingtang are capricious. Who can know if these barbarians are afraid of the heavenly soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty, or if they are truly obedient? ”

Li Kui didn't say this very well, but it just so happened that there were bursts of cheers in the main hall.

After someone ran to listen, he immediately ran back, and shouted loudly: "Daxi, Qingtang Ten Tusi has dedicated 20,000 of my Great Song War Horses, and the horses are already outside the city." ”

Sun Jinxian stared at the petty official in a green robe like him, and his heart was extremely indignant, and a thousand words were condensed into two words - traitor!
