Feng Huang shouted sharply: "Bold and crazy, do you know what the crime of slandering the imperial court officials is?!" ”

"Of course I know, I don't need to be reminded by Lord Feng." Wu Gong's face was calm.

"Since you know it, you dare to commit it! Wu Gong, you are guilty of one more degree! ”

Gu Xi smiled coldly, "According to the law of the Great Ming, you will be deprived of your body, degraded to a criminal citizen, exiled outside the empire, and never returned!" ”

"Don't worry about buttoning your hats first!"

In the face of Feng Huang and Gu Xi's difficulties, Wu Gong still said slowly: "There is a good saying, if people don't know, unless you don't do it." ”

"How ridiculous! I, Gu Xi, sit upright in the world. If you want to compete with me, then you will compare the six arts, virtues, and merit in an open and honest manner. ”

Gu Xi's expression was disdainful, "Such a bloody mouth and indiscriminate bite are also worthy of the identity of a Confucian scholar?" ”

"If even bribery is considered a meritorious achievement, then I am willing to bow down. As for the six arts"

Wu Gong's eyes widened, "Say something insulting, you Gu Xi is also worthy?" ”

is also a Confucian eight, and there are also superior and inferior.

Wu Gong's strength in the Six Arts is indeed a few points stronger than himself.

Gu Xi himself knows this.

But so what?

You must know that what you see when you enter the office is not only the strength of the sequence, but also the background, qualifications, potential, character and merits, etc.

If you can be a high-ranking official with just a pair of fists, you can get a good fortune. Then you can directly learn from those savage martial artists, and put down the ring to be harder than anyone's fists.

Why is the imperial court still engaged in any assessment and selection, let alone opening a department.

The level of the official sequence does not play a decisive role in the official promotion system of the Ming Empire.

Although one of the rituals of promotion in the Confucian sequence is the 'body of an official'.

But in the imperial court, there is no necessary connection between high official positions and high ranks.

The phenomenon of 'low-order high-ranking officials' or 'high-order low-ranking officials' is not uncommon.

Someone in the New Donglin Party once explained, saying that it depends on "strength" to fight the world, and "etiquette" is to govern the world.

Those who have "power" do not necessarily have "courtesy", so the selection of officials should be based on "courtesy" and supplemented by "force".

These words are high-sounding, but people with a discerning eye know that this is just one of the many ills caused by the Confucian gate valve entrenched in the court.

Fools occupy high positions, and talents have no way to serve the country.

Even if a bachelor from a poor background enters the official career through the imperial examination, if someone chokes the way to rise to the official position, it can still cut off your sequential path.

And those powerful children who were born in big clans and wealthy lords, as soon as they reached the crown, someone prepared a noble official position for them.

can only wait for the level of the six arts to arrive, and the sequence improvement will naturally come naturally.

And those 'Bai Ding' who stand on the wrong team can only painstakingly change their courts, or they can only go to the path of Confucian colleges.

To emulate the sages to write books and establish a sect. Promote Confucianism to go further.

But the difficulty of this is far more than the imperial examination, I don't know how many times.

If it is a smooth road, then the college is a narrow road.

It's as hard as it gets.

"Wu Gong, you are so bold, you have repeatedly slandered this official!"

Feng Huang's face turned pale at this time, and he clasped his fist and saluted Zhang Xian, who was there with the old god, "Please deal with this rumor-mongering and slandering maniac!" ”

"Wu Gong, if you have evidence, take it out. If someone really cheats for personal gain, then even if the official fights for this life, he will give you justice! But if you don't, this official won't be able to spare you this time! ”

Yao Chongli's face was also gloomy and ugly, and anger rose in his heart.

Because Wu Gong's words and deeds at the moment were far beyond their prior planning, they did not communicate with him in advance.

Now he suddenly made a move, which made Yao Chongli feel passive.

If Wu Gong really has evidence, it's okay to say. But if not, it is an official who bites the official of the ministry examination company in front of Zhang Xian, and commits a temple taboo!

At that time, no matter how good his friendship with Jinling is, he can only find a way to clean himself up.

"Wu Gong, you are also a disciple of the Confucian gatekeeper, you should know what the consequences of talking nonsense are.

Zhang Xian raised his hand, "If there is evidence, take it out now." ”

The pressure is like a mountain, but Wu Gong's back is still straight, and his expression is neither humble nor arrogant.

I only heard him say aloud: "Hui Yu, of course, the student has evidence!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of wind and rain outside the house that was gradually flourishing suddenly suffocated, and it seemed that he didn't dare to make a mistake at this moment.

Gu Xi saw that Wu Gong was still calm and relaxed at the moment, and a feeling of unease suddenly appeared in his heart.

Could it be that he really had evidence in his hand that he gave a gift to Feng Huang?

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look."

Wu Gong took out an electronic file and put it on the table, stretched out his hand and lightly clicked, and immediately a projection flew out, levitating in front of everyone.

The waterfall-like text flows down slowly, and although the font is small, everyone here is a preface, and it is easy to read the content written on it.

The above items list Gu Xi's filial piety to Feng Huang clearly, not only the specifications and value of the gift, but even the time and place of the gift.

"It's kind of interesting. This recommendation has always been dog-eat-dog, but it is really rare to have such a ruthless mouth. ”

The cold light in Pei Xingjian's eyes flowed, and his body, which was originally lying in the chair casually, sat up straight.

"Lake pen, Hui inkstone, Xuande depiction of gold paper, Chongzhen edict, spring palace painting"

Yao Chongli read the content on the projection softly, and every time he said the name of a gift, the gloom on his face dissipated a little.

The moment he saw these things, he decided that the file that Wu Gong took out should be true.

Such flashy things, all of them are Feng Huang's favorites.

"Lord Feng, your taste is really elegant and vulgar."

Feng Huang's palm pressed on the belt and clenched it violently, this damn Gu Xi, what he gave me still dares to leave a foundation?!

"Feng Zhanggu, explain and explain."

Zhang Xian spoke slowly, his expression was calm, and he didn't see any waves, but he gave people an undoubted sense of majesty.

"My lord, for such a trumped-up charge, the student doesn't think Master Feng has anything to explain."

Feng Huang was flustered for a while, and he didn't know what to say at all, but Gu Xi, who was sitting next to him, spoke first.

"Now it's Lord Zhang who is inquiring about Feng Zhanggu!"

Yao Chongli shouted: "What is your identity, and you are worthy of speaking?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, although the student has no official status, he has long been studying under Feng Zhanggu's seat. I'm just avenging my teacher as a student, right? ”

Gu Xi was well-founded, and he didn't panic at all because of the evidence that Wu Gong came up with.

"The son sings for the father, and the apprentice sings for the teacher, which is reasonable."

Zhang Xian nodded slightly, "Then you can tell me what it means to be unnecessary." ”

"Fabricated out of thin air, it is naturally unnecessary!"

Gu Xi's eyes were firm, and there was an undoubted confidence in his words.
