Chapter 42 In the world of life, routine and things are impermanent
In the dead of night, a few moths fluttered back and forth on the lampshade.
Taishi Xiao Wenbi lowered his head and listened to the sound of the paper turning, and he whispered to the young emperor who was directly above him.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest, and tomorrow you will have to take the school exam."
"I'll finish reading one more point, if the master is tired, go back and rest first." The emperor flipped through a page of the roster, looked at the names on it, as well as the simple life relationship, his eyes swept quickly, and then fell on a name, he narrowed his eyes, "Taishi, the Ding'an City branch was attacked before, but a group of people with yellow scarves on their heads did it?" ”
Xiao Wenbi, who was about to leave, stood back again, "Yes, I have reported to Your Majesty before." ”
"Taiping Road...... Hehe, these days, my spies told me that this religion is still spreading and developing believers, do you guess that Ding'an City is too guarded, and that Ding'an Hou, why don't you pay attention to it? ”
Beigong Ye picked up the wolf hair resting on the ink inkstone, dipped it in ink, and circled Su Yong's name with the tip of the pen.
"Then he, Ding'an Hou Shizi. His ancestor Su Hu is also a general who can conquer and fight, there were a lot of food in the past, so many years, it has been weakened a lot by the previous emperors, but it is still bouncing, I am upset when I see it, they want to play like this, then I will accompany them to have fun. Tomorrow I will take the school exam, give him a little tricks and feet, and get out of prison. ”
"Your Majesty's will."
The old man bowed his hand and slowly withdrew from the hall.
The door closed the wind and snow outside, and a few snowflakes drifted away on the red carpet, Bei Gongye glanced at the roster, suddenly lost interest, and threw it to the ground.
Taking the son of the Su family to prison, in fact, there is another reason, he wants to force out the method of cracking the night banquet map, at the beginning the rumors about the superb martial arts in the picture were not groundless, but he pretended not to be interested, after all, Xiao Wenbi, the master and master, he didn't fully trust it.
'Old thing. ’
He cursed softly, and then, taking a piece of paper again, he wrote down tomorrow's test questions.
County policy, state policy, national policy. However, there are two other tests, the formation of the unified army and the martial arts of archery and horses, which are placed in the back, and will be held after the policy is asked.
The first three questions are actually to consider the outstanding people in the world, whether they govern a place or a country, and there are generally no books to test this kind of topic, all based on what the son of the world has felt over the years.
The next day, the thirty-four princes and sons of the assassin were invited to enter the palace, and after being interrogated by the eunuchs in Yuehua Pond, they came to the Zhaowen Hall together.
Seats have already been set up here, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones have been prepared.
Su Yong came to his seat with the little eunuch, smoothed the paper, grinded the ink block, waited until there was a voice to roll call, and sent the exam questions, Su Yong glanced at the questions, unlike some of the princes who scratched their ears and cheeks, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and these three questions were simply given for nothing.
His father is a little lazy, and he will not do it himself, but he will also deal with it from the side, and he naturally has his own experience.
In less than a moment, he picked up the pen and began to write, and before the eunuch who invigilated the examination put down his pen and called a stop, he wrote a large article in a free manner, and ended the final sentence quite chicly, put the pen down, and asked for instructions to collect the paper.
This scene surprised the surrounding world, but no one said anything when the time was pressing, and when they returned to the post house at the end, they looked at Su Yong who was walking back to the post house room, they frowned slightly, and had a whispered discussion.
"It's the prince of Ding'an Hou who handed in the papers early today, right?"
"It seems to be called Su Yong."
"He's so good?"
"Probably very knowledgeable."
These muttering and muttering were intertwined, and there was still a buzzing noise, Su Yong naturally didn't hear it very well, and prepared to write a letter in the room, hand it to the two henchmen, and let the post house scribe send it to Ding'an City, Rongzhou to report safety to his family.
It was getting dark, he put down the book and thought about whether he had come to the capital to take the exam in front of the palace, and after whether there was any rudeness, he got up and followed the rest of the world to the food office for dinner.
For his performance in the Zhaowen Hall today, as soon as he sat down, several sons of the Hou Ye's family came to make friends, and although he was jealous of outstanding people, the normal way was to make friends so that he could ask for something in the future.
"Master Su, today's actions in the examination room can shock everyone a lot." A simple-looking boy smiled, arched his hand, and sat on Su Yong's side.
The other three also sat down around him: "The question of this policy can make me hold my urine in a hurry today, and halfway through writing, the test paper will be accepted." ”
"As far as what you have in your head, how can you compare with Brother Su?"
"By the way, Brother Su has any arrangements tonight? It's better to wait for us to go to have fun, in the past when Wuping County, I heard that in the land of Yanjing Qinglou, women are like flowers and jade, the skin is tender, and the water can be out of the water three times, if there is a unique hobby, I heard that there is a place, there are high-quality men. ”
It's okay in front, Su Yong almost choked when he heard the sentence 'good man' in the back, laughed with them a few words, and politely refused, it seemed that his face was relaxed, but his heart was actually very tired.
Because he knew that the emperor in the Jinluan Palace had to target the princes of various states, in case various things occurred and were caught by the other party, no matter when and where, he had to abide by the rules, after all, there were still many people in the family waiting for him to go back.
Beside him, the four sons were still talking, and in the food department, the prince of other states was also talking in a whisper, and from time to time there were eyes looking at him.
At this moment, many footsteps sounded at the door, followed by a commotion, and many people in the food department raised their heads and looked at the door. Someone put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up: "Meet the Master!" ”
At the door, an old man in a dark robe strode in, and arched his hand towards everyone with a smile: "Are you still satisfied with the food in the hall?" ”
He smiled and swept his gaze around, and fell on Su Yong, who also got up to give a salute, "Ding'an Shizi, I'm tired of coming out and have something to ask." ”
The tone was pleasant, but the words made everyone present look at each other.
Su Yong's heart jumped violently, kept a smile on his face, nodded politely, and walked out of his seat and followed the old man outside.
Fifty Imperial City soldiers stood in the courtyard outside the food office, lined up on the left and right with spears in armor, staring at him with murderous expressions.
"Taishi, I don't know what happened to call Yong out at night?" Su Yong has seen the wind and waves, and he is not frightened by such a scene.
At this time, the princes and princes of the food bureau also rushed to the door, and the four people who were chatting with Su Yong just now were also among them, seeing the scene outside, they knew more or less that something bad was going to happen.
Xiao Wenbi walked down the steps of the Food Department, looked at the son of Ding'anhou in front of him, passed for a while, and staggered away from the other party's side, "I heard that the eldest son of Ding'anhou has both talent and learning, and he followed his father to deal with government affairs at the age of fourteen, and he is filial and courteous......
Su Yong stood there, quietly looking at the old man who stopped on the side, and pursed his lips: "Taishi, what do you want to say?" ”
"Su Gongzi is so virtuous, he has learned people, and he has the way to deal with politics, shouldn't it all be fake?"
The old man over there turned to the side, turned his head to look at Su Yong, and his gaze became stern.
"Or should it be said that Su Gongzi is clever and bold!"
"Taishi's words like this really make Yong's heart not understand, what is going on?!"
Su Yong's temperament is gentle, which does not mean that he has no temper, and his voice was raised by the other party's hidden words: "Yong has always been upright and upright and follows the rules, why is he bold and reckless?!" ”
"It seems that the son of the world does not shed tears when he sees the coffin." The old man raised his hand slightly, a soldier came, threw an object in his hand and fell to the ground, and he could see that it was a human head between the rolling, with a white face and no beard, and there were ornaments in the palace to indicate his identity on his head, and he knew that it was a eunuch at a glance.
"Collusion with the eunuchs to collect the papers, secretly replacing the test papers, when I don't know!"
Xiao Wenbi suddenly threw out the paper from his sleeve, it was today's exam question, "This is what you answered, look at this again!" ”
The old man also had a signature book in his hand, and when he opened it and turned to Su Yong's name, the handwriting on it was roughly the same as the handwriting on the test paper, which could be carefully recognized, but it was slightly different, obviously written by two different people.
There was an uproar in the Food Department.
The sons of the world exchanged their heads and muttered.
"I'll just say how he wrote so fast, it turned out that someone had already written it for him, and he just needed to adjust the package."
"This is a great sin."
"Look again."
"Taishi, this is not my book!" At this time, where can I still take care of the words of the people over there, Su Yong knew that he was going to get him, and wanted to defend himself, but as soon as the words fell, he was interrupted by the old man's loud shout: "The palace tried to cheat, bribed the eunuchs in the palace, these two things are enough to kill the head, the handwriting is here, how can you quibble, if you have a grievance, you can go to the prison and hand over the fold to explain the reason to Your Majesty!" ”
He waved his hand violently, and the test paper flew into the air along with the roster: "Take it away!" ”
The two armor soldiers came up with shackles, and directly grabbed Su Yong, who wanted to come forward to defend himself, Su Yong struggled, he did not have the martial arts of the second and third brother Su Chen, after being held by his shoulders, he couldn't move, and the heavy shackles also buckled his neck at this moment.
He shouted, "Master! Yong has never made a mistake, please find out the truth! ”
The moment the shackles were closed, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, the tiles flew down with a clatter, and a spear pierced through the hanging treetops in front of the eaves, piercing through one of the captured armor soldiers.
Almost as the armor was pierced with a spear and nailed to the ground, the leaves sounded.
The figure of the Tsing Yi hat swooped down, struck the chest of another armor soldier with one palm, and flew together with the shackles, Zhu Gongdao grabbed Su Yong's shoulder, pulled out the spear, Xiao Wenbi over there opened his five fingers, covered it with one palm, pressed the resisting gun, pushed back the opponent's chest, the air was twisted in an instant, and directly Zhu Gongdao and the people with the gun, and Su Yong flew out, slammed into the courtyard wall, and the masonry burst and collapsed.
He has been cultivating for decades, and his martial arts have long been among the first-class in the world, and the only one who can surpass him is the realm of the grandmaster.
On the other side of the field of vision, the courtyard wall was shattered, and the smoke and dust were filled, and the old man bearded and angrily walked towards the smoke and dust, but in the smoke, the two figures overlapped, and suddenly jumped up, flew to the eaves, and stepped on the roof tiles and quickly disappeared into the night.
Xiao Wenbi probably held his identity and did not pursue in person, but raised his hand and whispered to the armor behind him: "Chase!" In addition, the Xiaoyan Dao, the Wind Flying Beaver, and the Yin and Yang Boy were summoned to leave people in the city. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, eat with peace of mind, and continue to take the exam tomorrow, so that you can rest as a good student."
He smiled and arched his hand at the crowd looking at the door, and as he turned to leave, one of his armor men came over, picked up something from the ruins, and presented it to him with both hands.
It's a woman's purse.
The needle and thread and color on it had long since faded to their original appearance, and it looked old, and the old man didn't care about it at first, but at the opening of the purse, something in the shape of a jade pendant was revealed, which made him stop.
He took the purse and opened it, and inside was half a jade pendant.
Xiao Wenbi only glanced at it, then walked out of the post house with the remaining armor soldiers, and on the way back to the imperial city in the carriage, he took the half of the jade pendant in his hand, and in the other hand, there was still half of it.
Gently stick it together and fit it tightly.
Write on the left and right: Wen Bi, Wen Yi.
"Sister ......"
Xiao Wenbi looked at the jade pendant in his hand, his hands trembling slightly.
