The first snow fell for three days, which made the whole capital excited for three days, and the next few days also returned to normal.

It is the nature to like the new and hate the old, and the palace and the palace have begun to sweep the snow in front of the door, except for the occasional children who are playing and playing, the white snow is no longer favored by anyone.

Zhao Zhengli has been pondering for the past few days, and learned from the letter of the king of the city that it was Xiao Taifu, one of the three princes of the dynasty, who smashed a thousand gold in the black market of Changle Pavilion to ask him for his head, this person is the prince's teacher, and the third generation of old ministers in the first grade, Zhao Zhengli didn't figure out what kind of grievance he had with this person?

Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Qi who quarreled with Zhao Tianshi in the court a few months ago both belong to the third duke, and Master Jing, who was overturned by Zhang Ziya, happened to be a second-grade Wenchen young master, and the third division and three dukes are basically biased towards the prince, because the prince also serves as the post of Zhongshu Ling under one person, acting as the political affairs of the world, and the left and right prime ministers of the provincial peace chapter under the Zhongshu Gate are the only ones who are the head of the prince, so the head of Zhao Zhengli's head is naturally pushed to the prince of the dynasty, is it from his meaning?

The temple is divided into two prefectures, three provinces, six departments, nine temples and six prisons, except for the political affairs and civil servants who are biased towards the prince, the rest of the departments are also left and right, or directly loyal to the old emperor like the military department, and occasionally make small reports to win the emperor's favor.

This is the old emperor's "game" means, because the world is he won halfway, those civil and military generals are mostly the old department of the previous dynasty, in order to consolidate the royal power, let the court court infighting and supervise each other, he sat alone in the Diaoyutai to watch the overall situation, and sometimes Enwei and let the courtiers to thank the princes of Dade in exchange for loyalty, and any emperor in the future has his own power.

The old emperor was very fascinated by this way of strategizing, so he was reluctant to abdicate at this age, and the position of the dragon chair was too addictive!

Zhao Zhengli didn't think too deeply, because the court is complicated, it is not ruled out that the king of the city is misleading the direction, after all, the prince is in charge of political affairs "Zhongshu Order", and the king of the city is in charge of the military "Privy Council", it is not ruled out that he wants to use his strength to break the balance, all this has to find clues to confirm by himself, what if it is really the prince's meaning? Thinking of this, Zhao Zhengli's eyes were a little cold.

The king of the city also had no intention of revealing a little news, the chaos in Shu has been stared at by the imperial court, and now the timing is just right, which makes the chaos in the rivers and lakes sit on the heart of Liu Jiyuan's rebellion, and the imperial court is famous to send troops to rehabilitate, and at that time, the three saints of the temple also went south for a few days, and the three great grandmasters all went to the south, except for going to Shu County, it is difficult to think of the second place that needs the three saints.

Zhao Zhengli deduced from this that most of the sealing and detoxification for him were related to the three saints of the temple, and combined with Li Zhanyi's description, dissolving the Gu poison and bringing him back to life became the Dragon Tiger Pill, and the only thing that made him unaware of the ghost and fed it to his abdomen was only during the coma that day, and he must have fed him a Dragon Tiger Pill after sealing the Gu poison.

The Dragon Tiger Pill is so precious, why did the Heavenly Master feed it to himself for no reason?

Just because someone like the imperial court mentioned?

Who exactly is someone?

These three questions seem to be subtly related, although it is very far-fetched and reasonable, the king of the city did not indicate who he looks like, but this clue has made him clear his mind, just wait for him to find the right time to verify.

。

At the end of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, three heavy snowfalls fell in the north, and the thick snow obstructed the passage and made the people of the capital begin to get bored.

The semi-annual assessment of the Heavenly Master's Mansion began, and the other Confucian Academy and the National Teacher's Mansion were also carried out, and the promotion assessment of the three saints of the temple made the old emperor more excited, and the monks were more interesting than the court game, and the old emperor deliberately sent someone to build a thick stand, this process was once every six months, and the venue for the training of the army was selected at the south gate, and the road was wide and wide, and there was no fear of damage.

These days have also attracted the bustle of the inside and outside of the capital, and the old emperor did not drive away, just to take advantage of this to raise his prestige, killing two birds with one stone!

However, there are many people, and the craziest of them is the bet, which is made by the giant merchant Changle Hall.

The old emperor also acquiesced to this behavior for the sake of the lively atmosphere, and by the way, he charged a high commission to fill the treasury, which was more profitable than collecting the fee of the Qinglou, and he naturally would not refuse.

There was a light snow in the sky, fluffy white and fluttering lightly, and the common people and bureaucrats were dressed in tight clothes, from the emperor's gorgeous splendid yellow robe to the coarse linen cotton jackets sewn and mended by the common people, tens of millions of spectators surrounded the martial arts arena at the south gate of the outer city.

Zhao Zhengli and the Bi family sisters are also among them, the two sisters are more excited than Zhao Daochang, and the two of them are Zhang Baishan, He Qijun and others from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, because they know for the first time that Zhao Daochang Jinwu is hidden in Jiaojiao, and a few guys are forced to pull the relationship with their faces, and talk about some topics that are not salty or light.

The two are familiar with the rules for the first time to participate in the assessment of the three people, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism first selected the top three, and then the three religions learn from each other and then divide the top three, the first one is sealed with four products, and the second and third can also get five products to follow the five products, the title has no real power, but it does not affect the official treatment, and the seat directly promotes the seat of the teacher.

If you have won the above honors, you will be rewarded with other treatments, all kinds of rare and exotic grasses are randomly selected, and the title of the top three officials has been maintained for several years in a row, and then they will be exchanged for each other's seats and treatments.

The old emperor's tent in the highest stand is sheltered from the wind and snow, and there are several large stoves for heating, and the two concubines accompany him, namely the prince's mother Li Guifei, the city king's mother Su Guifei, and the eunuch Cao Yan serving back and forth among the three.

The crown prince and the king of the city camped around the old emperor, and hundreds of officials and dignitaries surrounded the martial arts arena, and there were several betting tables at the edge of the field, which were already surrounded by people.

On the stands, the two little eunuchs brought a big gong, the palace maid brought a drumstick wrapped with red cloth with a tray, and the eunuch Cao Yan walked to the observation platform and shouted loudly: "Please sound the gong for His Majesty Emperor Shengde!" ”

The old emperor walked out of the tent and came to the observation stand, happily picked up the drumstick and struck it on the gong, "Dang! The sound resounded inside and outside the field; Cao Yan cleared his throat and shouted: "The assessment of the three saints in the winter of the fifth year of Xingtong Yuan has officially begun!" ”

There was a boiling everywhere inside and outside the venue.

The dealer shouted: "Bet on!" The aftermath of the Confucian Academy is against Pang Haowei of the Jiangnan Sanjie! The odds of winning and losing are 1 to 1! Draw three times! ”

"I'll press the aftermath to win, five or two."

"I press Pang Haowei to win! Ten taels of silver. ”

"The comprehensive strength of the two is about the same, and the draw is also three times, and I tie the game by twenty taels!"

……

The three great masters of the temple presided over the whole assessment, although the Confucian Academy looked like a crepe on weekdays, it was not ambiguous at all, they were all dressed in Confucian shirts and cotton jackets, wearing Confucian crowns, and they looked weaker than the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen.

However, these guys from the Confucian Academy moved their hands, and their aura was full in an instant.

Zhao Zhengli did not take the liberty of gambling, firstly, he did not know the opponents, and secondly, he wanted to keep his big bets.

Song Maoling walked to Zhao Zhengli and the Bi family sisters at that time, and he introduced them to the characters in the field, according to him, Yu Bo was the nephew of Yu Bin, the secretary of the military department, which Zhao Zhengli was slightly surprised, and never heard Yu Xiaowei mention that she had a cousin in the Confucian Academy.

Pang Haowei is one of the three heroes of the Jiangnan literary circle, along with Fang Na and Cai Xun. At the beginning, the three of them were admitted to the Confucian Academy at the same time, so they were called the three masters of Jiangnan.

After speaking, Song Maoling pointed to the woman at the forefront of the crowd in the Confucian Academy, she was quite pretty, very petite and delicate in Jiangnan style, she was laughing with the woman next to her one moment, and the next moment she turned her head to look at Zhao Zhengli as if she had a feeling, Zhao Zhengli was slightly shocked, I didn't think that the other party's divine sense was so powerful, and the man not far from her also looked at it, that person had a national face, less than twenty years old, it was Cai Xun.

At that time; The two people in the field have already started, the Confucian Academy is not just looking at the sky to read, they will combine reading and cultivation, the text will evolve out with true qi, used in battle, once Mu Fuzi a brush will be the battlefield daytime into dusk, with the army formation to plague nearly 100,000 Khitan barbarian troops, in order to block the enemy southward played a vital step, but also stood in the city gate tower to pick up the pen to cut off the head of several Khitan siege generals, by the Khitan people called "the life of the book saint". ”

Yu Bo looks mediocre, seven feet tall, he is carrying a big brush half a person high, and the Jiangnan Sanjie Pang Haowei's folding fan battle is inseparable, the two are really vast, visually inspect the strength of the grandmaster's lower grade, and the rivers and lakes have a saying: "The hooligans are not terrible, but the hooligans are cultured!" "What is more terrible than a literate hooligan is a scholar who knows how to read the Tao, not only has a flexible brain and is cunning, but also extremely lethal, and encountering them is not only a headache, but also a headache.

The two exchanged dozens of moves.

The snow on the field gradually became larger, like goose feathers flying, Yu Bo held a pen in one hand as if painting on white paper, and depicted the 24 sections of the seal out of thin air to the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains arranged by Pang Hao Weihui's fan, giving the plain rivers and mountains 24 changes.

The beginning of spring sprouts, the rain grows, the sting, the spring equinox ...... The summer solstice is hot, and the small heat and the big heat are dry...... Directly shattered the vast true qi of the rivers and mountains, and sent out a "click!" The sound of cracking, a heat wave that originally belonged to the hot summer swept through the martial arts arena, making everyone's faces warm, and even the heavy snow melted for a short time.

At the same time, a thick brush was directly placed on Pang Haowei's neck, and he was instantly angry, because it meant that he had no hope of being promoted to the Xuanshi seat for half a year.

There were cheers and disappointments on the sidelines.

"Why did you lose? My ten taels of silver! ”

"What's the hurry, the next game will be doubled and the cost will be returned!"

"You won the pressure, you should say cool things!"

"Lao Tzu lost more than 100 taels in the first half of the year, who are you crying for?"

"What are you guys, in the first half of the year, there was a boy who gambled a thousand taels in one breath and took the blood loss!"

The unbalanced hearts of several people instantly relaxed.

Zhao Zhengli is still the first time to encounter the strange Taoism of the twenty-four solar terms, on the potential of he is more optimistic about the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, maybe the rivers and mountains are too vast, too much consumption of true qi, so that Pang Haoran can not be perfect, if he arrives at the great master or the land fairyland, it is estimated that his thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can achieve the effect of fake and real, think about it is hairy, and sincerely sigh: It turns out that the reader is also terrifying.

There are follow-up competitions, all of which are brilliant, and Fang Na is even transformed into a giant beast of the zodiac, the scene is cool and unbelievable, and it can condense all kinds of murderous characters, such as "Chop!" Attack! Sleepy! "Wait, the Bi family sisters and Zhao Daochang were dumbfounded, where are these scholars, they are clearly a group of spell mages, but they are better than spells.

For the first time, Zhao Zhengli knew the peculiarity of the scholar's cultivation, and he could really vaporize all things, which seemed to resonate with the sixth senior brother Pu Wei's "Returning to the One"? The "fearless" Danfa pays attention to a transformation of ten thousand, which is not similar to the meaning of the Confucian Academy's true qi transformation, but one is to transform thousands of Taoist gases, and the other is to transform thousands of scenes, virtual rivers and mountains, virtual twenty-four solar terms, zodiac, words, etc. are all true qi evolution.

So what if you integrate him into "Returning"? There is a third step in the "fearless" Danfa, "Ten Thousand Laws are One", changing tens of thousands of sword qi into one sword to changing the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains into one, the twelve zodiac signs into one, and the characters into one, what kind of consequences will happen?

Zhao Zhengli was laughing, he had a deep understanding with the help of the Confucian Academy, and seemed to open another unknown path.

Birou touched him with her elbow and said in her ear, "Dao Chief, what are you smirking in a daze?" Miss Yu is laughing at you! ”

Zhao Zhengli was in a very good mood, and his smile was even brighter when he was awakened by Birou, and he looked at the side along with her eyes, and saw Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhanyi talking and laughing at him.

Seeing that Zhao Daochang was smiling, the two of them hurriedly put away their smiles and turned their heads, Yu Xiaowei was still a little shy, Zhao Zhengli wondered in his heart, does this girl have thoughts about this way?

Song Maoling looked at Zhao Zhengli in confusion: "Why did Brother Zhao smile so obscenely?" How many bets are you going to bet? ”

Zhao Zhengli glanced at the six princes who were also handsome, and said with a sigh: "Outsiders can't be trusted, but this way still keeps it on itself!" ”

Biyu hurriedly interrupted: "Dao Chief, look, Fang Na of the three heroes of Jiangnan in the Confucian Academy has crossed the level and defeated the human teacher seat Hedan!" ”

Zhao Zhengli reacted and only saw a figure flying upside down, accompanied by a powerful aftermath, the onlookers clapped their hands in shock, beat their chests more, and the old emperor also smiled, without thinking about it, he knew that it was a competition to collect huge fortunes just now.

The follow-up Confucian Academy gradually completed the assessment, and the hearts of tens of thousands of people were affected by not falling, and there were unlucky ones who were not hit, and the back tooth sockets of the qi were all crushed.

The internal screening of the Confucian Academy was completed, and Fang Na, who was born in the first class, Yu Bo, and Cai Xun, the third class.

There are also three people who were promoted to the Xuanshi seat, and Hedan fell to the Renshi seat and replaced Fang Na's Xuanshi seat, he was very aggrieved, but he couldn't.

When it comes to the Heavenly Master's Mansion!

Song Maoling glanced at Daoist Zhao and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao wants to stop competing with this Dao?" ”

Zhao Zhengli shook his head and turned his gaze to Yang Zhiming, who was crossing the waist knife of Qi Yunshan: "You and I have tried it, this Dao wants to meet him!" ”

Zhao Daochang left half a sentence in his heart, if he defeated his son in front of the old emperor, wouldn't he slap the royal face in public, and Song Maoling did not participate in the party struggle, he must be looking for a passable opponent to defeat him and dispel the vigilance of the prince and King Cheng.

Zhao Zhengli was naturally reluctant to take the blame.

Song Maoling looked shocked: "He's not a good opponent!" One step away from the Grand Master, guy, are you sure you want to try it on this occasion? ”

Zhao Zhengli's handsome sword eyebrows stretched slightly, and the corners of his mouth hung up in an upward arc: "Life, you have to challenge!" That way the odds will be higher! ”

Confidence and madness were Song Maoling's first feelings, but he ignored Zhao Zhengli's small abacus.
