Although Eleven Niang succeeded in getting the Queen Mother to take the initiative to participate in her plan, instructing Lu Li and Wang Qi to defeat Dongxuan Bachelor, but the matter of helping Shao Guang to become famous was still too obvious, and later made a lot of trouble, although it was in line with the Queen Mother's mind, she took this opportunity to simply clean up Cao Gang, and justifiably took back such a position as Wannian Ling, but the Queen Mother would definitely suspect that the commotion was instigated by He Zhan, and this self-assertive act of taking the opportunity to make profits could hardly guarantee that it would not make the Queen Mother unhappy. Therefore, Eleven Niang confessed to He Zhan early in the morning that she would be open and honest with Wei Yuanping before acting, and it was best to let Wei Daxiangguo take the initiative to take the role of inciting the disturbance after a tactful reminder.

And because the queen mother attached great importance to the matter of recovering the country's prestige, before the Shangqing Guanshi banquet was held, Wei Yuanping, who was very unwilling because Mao Wei actually got the opportunity to make up for his merits, took the initiative to summon He Zhan to see him in order to compete for merit, and told him to remind Wang Qilang and Xue Luli that they must not miss, and dutifully asked Wang Qi and Lu Li if they were confident and what way to ensure that the four heroes were defeated.

So He Zhan naturally mentioned Shao Guang and Yin Shen, claiming that with these two people helping each other, it was simply foolproof.

Before the county examination began, although Wei Yuanping received the line paper handed over by He Zhan, he didn't take it to heart, he didn't have the leisure to pay attention to the trial examination, and he didn't even look at it, until he heard that He Zhan was so sure of Shao Guangcai, so he asked if he had successfully passed the county examination.

I didn't know that I got a big unexpected result.

Wei Yuanping's mind moved, and he went to see the scroll, and he laughed very treacherously at that time, and when he asked He Zhan and Shao Guang and Yin Shen to be quite friendly, he promised: "As long as you can really thwart those crazy people this time, I promise to seek justice for your two friends." ”

He Zhan was originally going to go to Wei Xiangfu to "receive the reward" after he won, but before he could act, he heard about Cao Gang's dance, and Eleven Niang simply suggested sitting back and watching the situation develop.

It wasn't until the siege incident occurred that He Zhan went to Wei's mansion, but he went to express his gratitude to Wei Daxiangguo.

Wei Yuanping only felt confused, and asked Ming He Zhan that he thought that he was planning behind Cao Gang's suspicion incident, and laughed and said: "I deliberately want to seek justice for Shao Jiulang, but there is no need to be so roundabout, this matter is all fueled by the youngest son of the British father, and he has a little bit of an eye." ”

immediately opened up and was honest with He Zhan: "The Queen Mother has always been dissatisfied with Cao Gang, coupled with the Gao Yajun incident, how can he be allowed to occupy the position of Wannian Ling." ”

But there is also a Mao Wei involved in this matter, after all, the Gao family is his henchman, Cao Gang obviously got Mao Wei's instructions to rank Gao Yajun as the top of the list, but he didn't expect such an accident! Although Wei Yuanping was in schadenfreude, he also understood that it was impossible for the Queen Mother to punish Mao Wei for such a trivial matter, otherwise she would not have confessed to Mao Wei's design and instigation, causing Dongxuan Sijie to take the initiative to go to Shangqingguan to bring humiliation.

Therefore, although Wei Yuanping repeatedly suggested that the Wannian County Test be reviewed, the purpose was to depose the high cliff and hit Mao Wei's forces, but the Queen Mother was still a little hesitant, which inevitably disappointed Wei Yuanping, but he didn't expect Xu Xiu Neng to send charcoal in the snow and cause such an accident, which was undoubtedly to send a pillow under the neck of a sleepy person, but he didn't really know anything about these hidden secrets with He Zhan.

He Zhan's purpose was not aimed at Cao Gang and Gao Yajun, and he suggested at this time: "Now that the candidates are all dissatisfied, Xiangguo should advise the Queen Mother, punishing Cao Mingfu is one thing, but it is necessary to completely convince the public to calm down the situation, and also preside over the fairness and Qingming examination atmosphere, so that both the people and the scholars will inevitably respect the Queen Mother's benevolence." ”

Wei Yuanping's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said in his heart that if he used this statement, the Queen Mother would definitely be tempted!

On the other hand, because of the Cao Gang incident, Wang Huaizhun, the Duke of Lingnuma, also remembered that his grandson had entrusted the scroll for his friend, which seemed to be made by Shao Guang, so he asked his family to find out and read it - although Wang Huaizhun is Qilang's grandfather, but because of his prestige, he receives the scroll every year, and he is now serving in Shangshuling, and the Ministry of Rites under his jurisdiction is the department responsible for presiding over the provincial examination.

But now because of the unfairness of the trial, and Shao Guang is famous in Kyoto, out of concern about the imperial examination, Lingnuma Gong decided to review this extraordinary book to see if Shao Guang is as outstanding as Sheng Chuan.

After reading the scroll, the old man who was old in the accident but still fair and strict smiled coldly: "Cao Gang asked to rank the mediocre person as the top of the list, Shao Guang's poetry is so good, but he dethroned it, and he is also a member of the imperial examination, and he boasts of being high." ”

With such a determination in his heart, when Wei Yuanping once again admonished the Queen Mother to preside over fairness, seeing that the Queen Mother was greatly moved by the reputation of "benevolence", Wang Xiangguo, who was already secretly scheming, did not hesitate to second, and simply proposed a convincing way to calm the situation - try again!

"If Gao Yajun's essay is worthy of the top of the list, it proves that although Cao Gang is unfair, he is not derelict in his duties, but if the result this time is very different from the previous one, the candidate's questioning of the leakage of the exam questions will not be chasing the wind! Cao Gang, as the head of the first order, danced to disrupt the scientific field, and should be severely punished to set an example. ”

Of course, this retry was no longer presided over by Cao Gang and his subordinates, and even Cao Gang's boss Jingzhao Yin Mao Trend was excluded - this is not because the Queen Mother knew that he and Shao Guangjian had a grudge against him, but because Mao Trend had repeatedly fallen into the first place, and in the end he only relied on the shadow of the door to become a minister, and the Queen Mother thought that Mao Trend did not have the ability to preside over the imperial examination.

Wei Yuanping saw that the Queen Mother had finally made up her mind, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue: "This autumn county test, Chang'an, Wannian Erjing County, one is fair and clear, and the other is constantly slandered, which can be described as stark and completely different, although Cao Gang has no guilt or not has to wait for the results of the retest, but Yu Wensheng has won the trust of the scholars because of the fairness of the examination, so the minister suggested that Chang'an should preside over the retrial of Wannian County." ”

Mao Wei was so angry that he choked - Wei Yuanping, the villain who fell into the well!

However, Mao Daxiangguo's solid backer Xie Raoping had not yet rushed back to Kyoto at this time, Li Ziyuan had never been useful, Mao Wei was quite a little lonely and difficult to speak, so he naturally did not dare to have any objections at this time, Wei Yuanping was eyeing him, just waiting for him to provoke the Queen Mother!

When the edict of retry was officially issued to Wannian County, Cao Gang realized the urgency of the situation, and when it was easy to come back to his senses from the bad news that was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he naturally immediately changed into civilian clothes and rushed to Jingzhao Mansion, Mao Gang had not yet been notified by Mao Wei, and he was also anxious after hearing the news, so this evening, when Mao Daxiangguo, who had a belly full of fire, just returned to the mansion, he was completely lit by his cousin and nephew The fuse was lit-

"Even Gao Yan is disgraced, so he has caused the queen mother to be dissatisfied, it is not necessary to keep the position of the province of Menxia, do you still have the leisure to intercede for Cao Gang at this time? This person is nothing more than a person who sees the wind and steers, is it worth caring about? ”

Only then did Mao Chao hesitantly confess another act he had concealed from his cousin: "This matter has come to such a point because of Shao Guang, but it was his nephew who instructed Cao Gang to depose him ......"

"Idiot!" Mao Daxiangguo completely exploded, and Pu Fan's big slap slammed the case: "Two sentences of verbal dispute, as for you staring at such a down-and-out scholar for several years to suppress?!" Mao Dayin Mao Fujun, you are a third-grade Beijing official, why are your eyes smaller than the tip of a needle in a woman's hand? If you are so narrow-minded, what can you achieve in the future! ”

Anger is anger, but Mao Daxiangguo can't ignore the trouble caused by his nephew, and after Mao Chao scolded him and poured out the anger in his heart, he said again: "You warn Cao Gang that it is inevitable that he will lose his official position this time, but he will not lose his life, if he doesn't talk nonsense, I will protect him in the future, and it is not that there is no chance to recover, but if he thinks that he can pass the test by confessing to you...... The Queen Mother is clear in her heart, and she is not ignorant of the truth, and if she makes things bigger, he will only have a dead end! ”

Seeing that Mao was a little reluctant to respond, Mao Wei raised his eyebrows again: "You tell me clearly, at this juncture, Hugh has to make up his mind again to plot against Shao Guang, and then even if Jingzhao Mansion solves the test, he must not be able to dethrone it again, the matter of grading the ranking is not within your ability, just don't interfere, with Shao Guang's fame at this time, how many pairs of eyes are staring, if there is another handle to be pinched by Wei Yuanping, the Queen Mother will be even more annoyed!" You can rest assured, even if Shao Guang and Di, he is from a down-and-out family, he will not be able to become a climate, and he is not afraid that he will not have a chance to clean up in the future. ”

Mao Daxiangguo, who had just taught his cousin and nephew a narrow-minded lesson, held a grudge against Shao Guang because of this setback, which is really ...... It's a big pair of prime ministers' arms.
