Chapter Seventy-Two: The World of Scholars
The champion is indeed unique, but the list is not bad.
This seems unattainable to most people.
But Cui Xuan didn't think so, he participated in the imperial examination for only one purpose.
I heard that when he received the news, Cui Xuan turned into a withered flower in autumn on the spot.
And the treatment was abandoned.
Maybe he was worried about the injustice of this imperial examination, or maybe he couldn't bear Cui Xuan's situation, so Shen Sanwen came to visit Cui Xuan.
Make sure he's self-defeating as rumored.
When he said goodbye, he had lost his demeanor.
There is also a slight smell of alcohol on the body.
Cui Xuan was such a calm son in the past, how could he allow such flaws.
Even when the East Gate was humiliated by the guards, even when the family was involved in the Wushi Sanshi case, he maintained his thousand-year-old composure and cultivation.
Shen Sanwen remembered his former tablemates. is the first in every math test, and after the exam, he will use his exaggerated acting skills to tell him that he didn't do well this time.
Later, there really was.
The test paper was very simple, with a full score of one hundred and twenty, and he was deducted five points for one wrong question, but there were three perfect marks in the class.
Then the table was grief-stricken, as if the world was overshadowed by his regrets, and maybe he would cry in the end.
In the world of Xueba, Shen San couldn't ask.
Cui Xuan, Shen San didn't understand much.
But I can still understand his sadness.
There is the arrogance of the world's literature, and I monopolize the eight buckets.
There is also unwillingness to be angry.
Therefore, he comforted him, "Brother Cui's talent is recognized by everyone, and those false names don't need to be cared about too much, they are all over." ”
But Cui Xuan didn't appreciate it, and his eyes were not as good as a stranger.
There is also a melancholy in that look that sees the vicissitudes of the world.
"I don't have the open-mindedness of Brother Shen, but this false name is extremely important to me. Brother Shen is the examiner, so he naturally doesn't understand how important this honor is to the candidates. I always thought that Brother Shen was friends, but it turned out that he was not. ”
Then Cui Xuan gave an eviction order.
Shen San asked confusedly, even if I don't know you, it's a good intention, shouldn't it be like this.
Maybe I don't know how to comfort him, and my words are too light, but these are all in the past, and no one can do anything about it.
Later, through the understanding of various channels, Shen Sanwen knew the reason.
Well, Shen Sanwen asked that the fastest and most efficient channel would always be the young master of the Wang family.
Wang Bin has already figured out a lot, and it is a fish lip to deal with the imperial power, and he still has to make countermeasures according to the changes in the times. Take it one step at a time.
If one day, the two are really-for-tat and inseparable, before that, he still wants to cherish the love with this friend and hold this friendship tightly.
Straight to the point.
Yao Chong's article has already come out, Cui Xuan read it carefully, and raised him.
He also knew the attitude of Empress Wu towards the two articles.
His elders also said that if it weren't for the horse to speak, this champion would be none other than Xuan'er.
There is a great deal of ambiguity in this statement.
So Cui Xuan held a grudge against Shen Sanwen.
After all, the champion is not only called Wenqu Xing, but also means that the officialdom is on the rise.
Cui Cha's meaning may be that if it weren't for Shen Sanwen's grand event and the Queen Mother's intention to suppress the family, the champion would not have been Yao Chong's turn.
Sometimes, people ignore their role.
Therefore, Cui Xuan had a misunderstanding in his heart, and Shen Sanwen played an unusual role in the Queen Mother's decision to choose the champion.
But Shen San didn't want to lose this friend.
This misunderstanding must be resolved.
If you don't know that there are such talents, only Yao Chong and Song Jing, then this misunderstanding can wait slowly, time can smooth everything out, and make many things look perfect on the outside.
However, Cui Xuan is obviously better than Yao Chong, and there is still a friendship at the beginning.
He said that Cui Xuan should not believe it, after all, the other person is his relative.
The princess first explained to him, "The champion will inevitably be in charge of the government in the future, and the literati have such ideals, showing their lifelong ambitions, living up to what they have learned in their lives, and the position of the champion is a shortcut, and there are fewer people who share the work ahead, and there is little resistance." Cui Xuan still has a long way to go. ”
Can't you show what you've learned?
The princess invited some kings and Cui to the banquet to resolve this misunderstanding, but Cui Xuan didn't dare not come.
The princess toasted Cui Xuan.
"Today, Cui Gongzi's situation is not good, but it is the current situation.
The world is impermanent, and it is not the work of a wise man to care about temporary gains and losses.
The palace has always admired talented people, if the Tang Dynasty has a day when the palace is in power, Cui Gongzi will have the time to rule the world.
The palace Chrysostom Yinuo, the son and Taoguang are obscure, waiting for the current situation. ”
Cui Xuan was very moved, this is another village, and the sky lives up to me.
Princess Taiping does have such confidence, and the Queen Mother has given her a lot of power excessively.
There is also Wang Bin's testimony.
It can be regarded as giving him enough face.
Cui Xuan is different from Wang Bin, he is more ambitious, more famous, and unwilling to be ignored by everyone, so this matter will hit him so hard.
What he pursues is to do things in the world and leave his name in history.
For the sake of the people, and for oneself.
The princess naturally understood, and was willing to help him.
In terms of seeing through people's hearts, Shen Sanwen is still far away.
This matter does not need to be explained in the first place.
There is no misunderstanding.
Even if someone really prevents him from becoming the champion, this matter is ultimately the decision made by Empress Wu herself.
Empress Wu may have sighed because of this talent, after all, Cui Xuan has already stated that he will not enter the court as an official at present, and he has taken the exam, but he has retreated bravely.
The gentleman is angry, polite and courteous.
The princess was able to win her first advisor.
It is always necessary to encircle talents, and the struggle for talents is also an indispensable part of the struggle for power, whether it is to fight the country or govern the country.
The imperial examination has come to an end, Empress Wu got Yao Chong, and the princess got Cui Xuan, and everyone was very satisfied.
Lai Junchen has become the biggest winner in such a game, in less than half a year, a civilian, worth a hundred times.
He handled the case diligently, forgot to sleep and eat, and eradicated countless dissidents for Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian regarded him as a confidant.
The trust of the Queen Mother brought him endless power.
Although it is only a small imperial history, it is out of the limelight.
Except for a very small number of veterans who were not ashamed to be with him, everyone was polite to him.
In this strict investigation, the family is like a frightened bird, and like a strong bow with a full string, weak and sensitive.
If you are hit again, you may rise up to resist and fight to the death.
Lai Junchen cleverly set up a name and fabricated a crime, which dealt a big blow to the family's power in the court.
Empress Wu's rational choice stopped.
She is no longer the talented person who blindly tamed the lion skull by force.
Coercion is not the best way to control people, on the one hand, give high-ranking officials generous and rewards, and on the other hand, kill chickens and monkeys, so that they are in awe. Only by combining grace and power can we achieve our goals faster and better.
The family had already beaten almost, and Empress Wu soon began the second temptation.
