"In this imperial examination, Jinshi A and other three people, namely: Fang Chongyong, Cen Shen, and Zhang She.

The rest of the middle scholars are: Yuan Jie, Du Fu, and Xue Yi.

The above six people left the face saint, and the remaining twenty-four people did not meet the requirements of the imperial court and were eliminated! Please leave the Zichen Hall immediately!

Previously admitted lists are void. ”

Gao Lishi, who was standing beside Li Longji, shouted at the top of his voice.

Thirty Jinshi, participating in an additional temple test, were eliminated twenty-four, and only six people remained, this Nima joked big!

The imperial examination candidates in the Zichen Hall all looked at each other, shocked, confused, fearful, happy, afraid and other expressions, and some even sobbed in a low voice.

"Where is Jin Wuwei!"

Seeing that no one wanted to leave, Colliers shouted in the direction of the temple gate. Soon, more than a dozen Jinwu guards with bright armor rushed into the Zichen Hall and prepared to make a move.

Fang Chongyong waited for the candidates who were named Jinshi after the palace examination, and consciously hid to the side and stood not far from Gao Lishi. The others were driven away by those five big and three thick Jinwu guards, and left the main hall in embarrassment.

"Well written, that's what I thought."

Li Longji walked up to Fang Chongyong, hit him on the shoulder with his fist, and said excitedly: "I just want to teach the Tubo people a good lesson." In the future, if you go to Hexi again, you will beat the Tubo people for me. ”

After speaking, he walked up to Cen Shen again, and said with emotion and encouragement: "I heard that you once served in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate for half a year, and you really have the insight to be an official for thousands of miles in vain, and the first class of Jinshi is well deserved." ”

In the end, Li Longji walked up to Zhang Shi again, nodded slightly, and said: "You are very familiar with government affairs, and what you wrote today is all insightful, which is very good."

Although you are not familiar with the people of the Western Regions, it is not your fault. ”

Li Longji was really satisfied with these three first-class Jinshi candidates, and there was no "favor encouragement" in them.

Of course, when he came up with this question, he was releasing water to Fang Chongyong, and if the other party couldn't answer it, it would be a real hell.

Then, Li Longji walked in front of Yuan Jie and Xue Ju again, but he was a little polite, and his attitude was much colder than before.

In the end, Brother Ji came to Du Fu who was in a wheelchair and found that the other party's leg seemed to be broken, frowning slightly and being silent.

"I heard that you have a talent for poetry, but this time you can get the first place, it's really very reluctant."

Li Longji opened his mouth and said, Du Fu's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Please forgive the saint, the grass people can't bow thoroughly." ”

"I don't blame you."

Brother Ji sighed and said, "But I still want to cancel your Jinshi qualification." ”

Huh?

Everyone present was stunned, not knowing which one Li Longji was going to play. Even Gao Lishi came over, lowered his voice beside Li Longji and said, "Sage, the imperial examination is a major event, and you can't change it every day." ”

Li Longji waved his hand and signaled Gao Lishi not to say much.

"If you are selected as a jinshi this time, will anyone think that candidates who break their legs and enter the examination room again are more likely to be admitted to the imperial court during the imperial examination next year?"

Li Longji asked rhetorically with a look of regret.

Is that still how it can be understood?

Fang Chongyong was stunned.

At first glance, this may sound like a vexatious mess, but when you think about it, it doesn't have its own reasonable logic.

Among the six people who were admitted, there was the only candidate with a broken leg this year.

Does this mean that the imperial court will give a little sympathy to those candidates who are "disabled" or "unexpected"?

Although this possibility is not very likely, it is purely too beautiful to think too much, but what if?

What if it works, what if it works a little bit, and then it changes the end result?

I have to say that there is always no shortage of people in the world who take risks and take shortcuts. During the imperial examination next year, if there are a large number of candidates who deliberately break their legs, trying to imitate Du Fuzhong's "personality" and trying their luck, it will also embarrass the imperial court at that time.

Being ridiculed as a "lame imperial examination", isn't that a big joke in the world?

Of course, this is just Brother Kei's words, and no one knows what he thinks in his heart. Anyway, that's what Brother Ji said on the bright side, clearly, clearly!

"Well, Jin Wuwei, send this candidate who has the talent of a jinshi but is unlucky out of the imperial city."

Li Longji pointed to Du Fu in the wheelchair and said.

Du Fu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say a word. The Tang Dynasty has already opened his mouth, which means that the matter has reached the point of no return.

Not far away, a soldier of Jin Wuwei walked out, pushing Du Fu's wheelchair and walking out without the slightest stop.

Fang Chongyong thought about it, and finally didn't say a word.

Du Fu appeared in the list of thirty people this time because he stood on Li Linfu's team and was pulled by the elites! So is he, and so is Yuan Jie.

However, this does not mean that with Du Fu's own ability, he can fight his way out of the encirclement without any external interference. Writing poetry is only one part of the imperial examination, and it is not even a third.

Du Fu's strength in scientific research is only stronger than those bastards, which does not mean that he really has the level of governing the country, and he may not even have potential.

The current Du Fu has not even comprehended the cruelty of "Zhumen wine and meat smell", and there is still a fantasy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty for thousands of generations in his heart, and he has not experienced much folk suffering.

Although Brother Ji's approach is strange, it cannot be said that it is completely unreasonable.

At least, defeating Du Fu, a jinshi, can allow candidates who will participate in the imperial examination in the future to protect their legs and not move those crooked thoughts that should not be there! The past does not forget the teacher of the future, isn't this a kind of merit?

Fang Chongyong suppressed the urge to help Du Fu intercede, and honestly waited aside without speaking.

Perhaps, this is life! Often sad and capricious, just get used to it.

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh quietly.

……

"What?"

Wang Yunxiu spoke in an octave of height, and looked at the black military uniform sent by the eunuch sent by the Xingqing Palace with a shocked expression, and the whole person was not good.

"I won the top prize in the exam, and I showed my face during the palace exam, and I was beautiful, and the result is this?"

She pointed to the military uniform placed on the table, looked at Fang Chongyong's face and asked, "The sage will reward this, and then let you put on this dog skin and go to Xingqing Palace to be a halberd under the ninth grade?" ”

If the result makes Wang Yunxiu really ununderstandable, what is the point of Fang Chongyong tossing so much back and forth more than two months ago.

You must know that Fang Chongyong also served as a real power assassin in Shazhou for four years!

Even some time ago, that also achieved the position of Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhonglang! Now run to Xingqing Palace to be a halberd man, is it interesting?

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no official position of the halberd, only the halberd chief under the nine grades, which is usually called "halberd". It has completely overlapped with its predecessor, the Halberd Lang, so it is often nicknamed "Halberd Lang", which is slightly derogatory.

"It's not the halberd Lang, it's the Halberd Lang of the Long Wu Army in the Xingqing Palace, guarding the saint's side!"

Fang Chongyong corrected Wang Yunxiu's rhetoric.

"This ...... Is there a difference? Anyway, it's not all halberd lang! ”

Wang Yunxiu asked rhetorically with a speechless face, unable to understand the indifference on Fang Chongyong's face.

"You don't understand, that's politics."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and said, looking at the Longwu Army uniform sent by the palace, sure enough, the fabric and the patterns on it are very exquisite, which is much stronger than Jin Wuwei's red military uniform!

"With this spare time, it is better to find a village to live in seclusion for three years, and then go to the Ministry of Officials to elect officials!"

Wang Yunxiu said angrily.

"Eh, you're right this time, it's better to find a village and live in seclusion for three years now.

However, sometimes even if you want to live in seclusion, the saint will not allow it. ”

While speaking, Fang Chongyong began to change into the military uniform of the Dragon Martial Army, and did not shy away from Wang Yunxiu's presence.

"By the way, after the next duty, I will go to the Ten Princes' Mansion by the way, and give this package of medicine to King Shou, which Wei Sanniang wants to use."

Anaye, who had just come in from the courtyard, stuffed a large paper bag in her hand into Fang Chongyong's arms.

"What should I do if I eat a dead person with such a big bag of medicine? Do you think it's a joke to grind mandala flowers into powder? ”

Fang Chongyong asked speechlessly.

"Oh, yes, I didn't think of that!

That's okay, Ah Lang divided it into a little bit, divided it into a small packet and gave them a small packet, just take it according to the method of the concubine.

I thought that they could keep it after they couldn't finish it, but I didn't expect that maybe someone would be unable to take the medicine.

Hahaha, the main reason is that the concubine is lazy, and there are no tools for the pharmacy at home, so it is not easy to determine the weight.

Negligent, negligent. ”

Anaye touched her head and pretended to be embarrassed.

I think you're lazy and rotten, but your brain is right!

Fang Chongyong shook his head helplessly, where did Anaye forget, in fact, she just didn't want to have anything to do with those people in the Ten Princes' Mansion, so even if she was entrusted by Wang Yunxiu to do something, she didn't want to do her best, so she thought about it casually.

If you can't do it well this time, you won't ask for it next time, how much trouble it will have!

Such a large pack of powder made from mandala flowers can stun the elephant, in case Wei Sanniang accidentally eats too much, it is estimated that he will never wake up again.

Then the fun will be great!

"I'll have a snack in the future."

Fang Chongyong said with a tiger face, came to the study, divided the big bag of powder again and again, and finally made a small bag, wrapped it in paper and placed it close to his body.

This kind of trivial matter, he just went to the Ten Kings' Mansion directly after he got off duty, it was not a big deal. Anaye's mind is now on studying medicine, and she is not very keen on treating people, so she can't hide her perfunctory thoughts.

In a nervous mood, he came to the diligent government office of Xingqing Palace, and Fang Chongyong saw Zhang Guangsheng, who was wearing the uniform of Sergeant Longwu, who was already standing guard on duty!

Seeing Fang Chongyong, the question in Zhang Guangsheng's heart seemed to have been answered, and his silent opponent Chongyong made a look, he was urgently transferred today, directly from Zuo Jinwu Wei Si Ge to Long Wu Sergeant, and also came to guard the government affairs building.

The whole process was so fast that he was still confused when he completed the transfer procedures in a daze.

Fang Chongyong gave Zhang Guangsheng an "OK" gesture and came to the imperial study on the second floor of the diligent government affairs building.

At this time, Brother Ji was walking back and forth in the study, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Sage, the last general will come to report to the Longwu Army and ask the sage to arrange military affairs."

Fang Chongyong crossed his hands and saluted.

"How's it going, are you still used to wearing this uniform?"

Li Longji turned his back to Fang Chongyong, stood by the fence and looked at the scenery downstairs and asked.

"Back to the saints, these are all doing things for the saints, and there is no habit and unaccustomed statement."

Fang Chongyong said cautiously.

"The Nine Rank Officials of the Long Wu Army, that is not an official of the imperial court, but an official who only belongs to me, do you understand this truth?"

Li Longji said meaningfully, but he turned his back to Fang Chongyong and couldn't see his expression.

Ji Ge didn't brag, because Long Wujun was his "personal guard", and the appointment and dismissal of its personnel were all decided by him alone, and the courtiers could not interfere. So Brother Ji said that Fang Chongyong's official position is "the official of a saint", and he really didn't talk nonsense.

"The last general understands that whatever the saint commands, the last general will do whatever he wants, and will not listen to the orders of others."

Fang Chongyong crossed his hands and saluted.

"Well, that's it.

Go downstairs on duty, and wherever I go in the future, you will follow this team of dragon warrior guards. Your team includes you, and there are only ten of them, so let's get acquainted with your novices. ”

Li Longji didn't look back, raised his hand and waved it lightly and said.

"Whoa!"

Fang Chongyong didn't dare to ask more, and took the order. I secretly thought in my heart that even he had a total of ten guards, and he could be regarded as the "Ten Warriors of Brother Ji".

There are so many slots in it that he doesn't know where to start.

Early the next morning, Fang Chongyong, who had just been on duty and had been deserting all night, came to the gate of the Ten Kings' Mansion in the northeast of Chang'an City.

After explaining the intention to the colleagues of Long Wujun on duty outside the door, a white and chubby eunuch came out of the Ten Princes' Mansion, looked at Fang Chongyong, and asked arrogantly, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

"You don't deserve to know."

Fang Chongyong said indifferently, with an arrogant face.

Unexpectedly, the white fat eunuch not only did not get angry, but immediately put on a smiling face, pulled Fang Chongyong to a place where no one was around, and asked, "Is there any command from the saint?" ”

"Yes, you just call Princess Shou out, this matter must not be publicized, otherwise it will ......"

Fang Chongyong made a motion to wipe his neck.

Seeing that the eunuch didn't move, Fang Chongyong shouted angrily: "Do you still want to collect money for the saint?" ”

Hearing this, the fat white eunuch in front of him knelt down and begged: "No, no, don't tell the saint!" This matter must have sealed his mouth to death! ”

"Well, go ahead."

Fang Chongyong pretended to be dissatisfied and said coldly.

Soon, he saw Wei Sanniang walking out alone, bowed to himself and said:

"I forgot to tell Mrs. Wang, some medicines can't be brought into the Ten Princes' Mansion, the general thanked Mrs. Wang for the concubine."

Wei Sanniang coughed lightly twice, she did have a cough, but her body looked quite normal, and her complexion was not as sallow as she was terminally ill.

"Well, remember to keep this matter a secret."

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly, turned around and left.

"Wait, wait, wait."

Wei Sanniang hurriedly followed, stuffed a sachet into Fang Chongyong's hand and said, "I wish you an early birth to a noble son, and when you get married, you must invite me to join the party." ”

After saying that, she left in a hurry and disappeared at the entrance of the gate of the Ten Kings' Mansion.

"It turns out that the surveillance of the Ten Kings' Mansion is not airtight."

Fang Chongyong turned around, looked at the outline of the Ten Kings' Mansion from a distance, and said thoughtfully.

After a little temptation today, he noticed that the Ten Princes' Mansion seemed to be heavily guarded, but in fact, many of the eunuchs and even guards inside should have been bought by those filial sons and grandsons of Brother Ji. On weekdays, the access control is very loose, and the inspection of items is also the kind of situation that can be checked or not.

From this point of view, Brother Ji's precautions against his heirs are not completely vexatious and groundless.

The power of the prince is so great that it naturally restrains the bureaucracy. No matter how loyal the ministers are to the emperor, it may be difficult for them to always stick to their position in front of the crown prince and even the princes.

"I always feel like there's going to be something big here."

Fang Chongyong said with a light sigh.

Brother Ji imprisoned the princes as pigs, but who was willing to become a pig and be raised in captivity?

Where there is oppression, there must be resistance!
