Chapter 181: Means
I am willing, playing with public opinion, gathering people to rob officials, and the means are pungent, and they should be punished. ”
"The saint is angry, and he will go to punish Xue Bai."
Chen Xuanli, who rushed to Liyuan to report, felt the killing intent of the saint and immediately prepared to kill Xue Bai.
The opera was being rehearsed on the stage, and there was a little Youling who didn't seem to notice the movement of the saint, and sang a cappella when the orchestra stopped, and his voice was not soft, and he was graceful.
Falling flowers and flowing water, thousands of sorrows, sympathy for the night moon, speechless complaining about the east wind. ”
It was Xie Aman, singing and dancing, with long sleeves and swaggering, forming a very beautiful picture, like a romantic scene in the sky.
Only then did she realize that everyone else had stopped, so she hurriedly stopped her movements and retreated.
Chen Xuanli waited for a while, but did not wait for the sage's answer. Although the Son of Heaven's anger and killing intent have not subsided, it seems that he is actually enduring it.
"Zhang Fill!
Suddenly, Li Longji screamed angrily.
Zhang We were taking Yuan Zaiman to the holy recital today, and as soon as he described the matter of bamboo paper in detail, he listened to Chen Xuanli to report the chaos of the Ministry of Rites. He knew things were not good as he listened.
Remember the URL
Xue Bai said "honestly", turned his head and tried his best to fight for the champion, and chose such an opportunity, as if he had made an appointment with him in advance, one to complain, the other to make trouble, and cooperate tacitly.
"High righteousness".
But Xue Bai really didn't get angry with him.
It turns out that this is the so-called "kindness must be repaid, debts must be repaid", as if Cui Qiao ordered a guilty champion "The minister is guilty!"
Zhang Po didn't dare to have any explanation, so he immediately admitted his mistake in panic and responded: "The minister is indeed biased, please ask the saint to give sin."
At this time, no matter what reason he gave, the saint would think that he was rebellious, "Did I scold you wrong?"
Eventually, his sincerity relieved the saint's anger a little.
"All down.
"The ministers are leaving."
Li Longji sat there with a gloomy face, picked up the evidence submitted by Yuan Zai and looked at it again.
One is the pricing of various grades of bamboo paper; One is a gift list, and the gift given by Li Tan to Yuan Zai is estimated at 1,000 yuan; One is a book list, which modifies the books that will be published in engraving and printing by the supervisor, "Bao Tuzan", "Li Zhao Gong Ji", "Cui Dingzhou Ji", "Wang Jinyang Ji", "Bingzhou Complete Poems", "Wei Wenzhen Gong Ji Note" and so on.
If Xue Bai didn't make trouble, Li Longji had already planned to play eighty boards each, and everyone should be punished, but at this time, he felt that Xue Bai's methods were too much, and he didn't like it in his heart.
"Lawlessness.
"Sage." Colliers asked, "Is it a punishment?" ”
"When Taizhen pleaded for mercy and gave him a chance to perform, he was sent away, and I was annoyed.
Since he is tired of sending people away, he will not care if anyone wants to kill Xue Bai at that time.
Li Longji is still lenient, no matter how much a cat or dog like Xue Bai makes trouble, the dignified son of heaven will not make an order. But the thought of me wanting to encourage the Yang sisters to intercede is annoying, endless. ”
But three days later, Li Longji waited and waited, Yang Yuhuan did not open his mouth to intercede, and even Yang Yuyao did not enter the court, and more and more courtiers asked to depose Xue Bai's champion and punish him severely. Xue Bai didn't move out of the Holy Grace as before.
It seems that in the midst of the wind and rain, a flat boat is being hit by a big wave and may capsize at any time.
After the Sendai trouble, Xue Bai saw people off every day.
The first to leave was Zheng Qian, who was reappointed as the governor of Taizhou.
Taizhou now belongs to Zhongzhou, and Changshi is the adjutant of the history of the thorn, second only to the history of the thorn, the grade has not changed, and it is all on the sixth grade. But after all, it is still depreciated, but the means seem to be a little more gentle.
When Baqiao said goodbye, Xue Bai saluted and said, "It's me who has involved Dr. Zheng."
"No, no." Zheng Qian didn't care about himself, he seemed quite drunk, and said with a smile: "It is not necessarily a bad thing to be able to leave Chang'an and become the main official of one party, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for the old man." ”
He waved his hand and boarded the boat, and the green shirt quickly went away.
Only one poem was left behind, which inspired a group of frustrated poor people.
"The stone pressed bamboo shoots are obliquely out, and the Guyin flowers bloom later."
The next day, it was Yan Zhenqing who left Chang'an in a hurry.
"Yushitai is urging so much, I can't go if I don't go."
Yan Zhenqing had actually delayed for two days, otherwise he would have to leave Chang'an before Zheng Qian.
But this trip still seemed very sudden, he didn't even care about his wife and children, only brought two old servants, carried his bags, and led the horse to Longyou.
"You don't mind." Yan Zhenqing glanced at Xue Bai and said, "For me, it's just the difference between leaving two days earlier or two days later." However, the princes of the court can't wait to take me away, obviously it is going to be unfavorable to you, so you can do it yourself. ”
"Teacher, rest assured." Xue Bai said: "It's a big deal that I go to be a son-in-law for my brother, and it won't kill me." ”
This is the change brought about by the efforts that have been made, in the past, if you lose, you will be killed, and now if you lose, there is a way out.
"No kidding." Yan Zhenqing frowned and said, "The holy will is unpredictable, and it can't be feared for a long time, especially this time when you commit a big taboo." If you get an official, don't covet high-ranking officials, even if it is a county lieutenant, it is better than a close minister of the Son of Heaven. ”
"The student understood."
"This is an afterword, you should protect yourself first."
There was a sound of a beard, it was Cen Shen playing.
Cen Shen felt that there were still honest officials like Yan Zhenqing in the officialdom of Huaitianbao, and wrote the poem "Hu Ji Song Sent Yan Zhenqing to Helong" to send him.
"Don't you hear the saddest sound of Hu Ji? Purple-haired, green-eyed, bearded man blowing. ”
"I haven't blown a song yet, and I'm worried about killing Loulan's conquest....
The singing swept away the sorrow of parting, and the atmosphere suddenly became magnificent.
Yan Zhenqing said goodbye to his wife and children in such a song and turned on his horse.
When his back disappeared into the sky, everyone looked up and could only see the stretching Qin Mountain.
"Hu Ji is resentful and will send you, and Qin Shan looks at Longshan from afar."
"I'll have to leave for the next two days.
Cen Shen put down his beard, smiled bitterly at Xue Bai, and said, "I have to set off for Anxi with several judges, and the trip was originally scheduled for next month. Now it seems that I can't watch the drama you rehearsed at the Qujiang banquet. ”
"It's okay, there's still a chance to see later."
Cen Shen lowered his voice, attached it to Xue Bai's ear, and whispered: "I have made arrangements, if something happens to you, go to my house to find my old servant, he will take you to Anxi to see me......"
"Okay, thank you."
"What do you and I talk about?" Cen Shen smiled heartily.
In a blink of an eye, two days have passed, in the same place, with the same smile, Cen Shen waved his hand and said, "You guys stay."
"Cen Twenty-seven, the journey has been smooth, and you must make contributions when you arrive in Anxi!" Du Wulang shouted loudly.
"Hahaha, borrowed Goro's auspicious words." Cen Shen turned over and got on the horse, "Thirty-five years old, send me a poem!" ”
"Good!
Gao Shi said that he would write poems when he wrote poems, took a sip of the wine bag, looked at Cen Shen's horse bag with some envy, and opened his mouth to recite.
"The line is against Feipeng, and the golden whip is on the iron skull."
"Fame is thousands of miles away, and the heart is in a cup."
"Captive Yanzhi North, Qincheng Taibai East."
"Don't be melancholy when you leave your soul, look at the treasure sword hero."
Cen Shen was greatly satisfied, and repeatedly called Gao Shi a confidant, not to mention the sadness of parting, what he wanted was this generosity.
The Tang Dynasty boy made contributions to the side, what is there to be sad about?
"Xue Lang, it's your turn.
Xue Bai first shook his head, groaned, and said reluctantly: "The wind rolls the white grass and folds, and the snow will fly in August." ”
Bah!
Cen Shen said: "The scene is not right, if you don't want to give me a farewell poem, you can say it directly." ”
"Then I don't want to."
"Okay, then I'll do it!
is another long poem, and Cen participates in Gao Shi's strong poetic style.
The sound of horses' hooves is far away, the world is silent again, and only Cen Shen's poems are still echoing.
"Looking at the king and looking up to the green and the dark, it is difficult to fly in a short time."
"Cangran Western Suburbs, how generous is the handshake."
Xuanyang Fang, the side courtyard of Xue House.
When discussing how to besiege the Ministry of Rites, the hall was still very lively, and it had only been a few days, and there were many fewer people.
"It's all gone.
Du Wulang was so melancholy, and muttered: "I think that when I made a fuss about the 'Ye Wu Xian' case, the brother slave didn't react so quickly" Brother Nu is just a traitor, but now ninety percent of the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee are children of the family, and each of them can transfer us out of Chang'an if they make a contribution. ”
A gentleman named Qiao Lin smiled with a non-hesitant attitude: "Then I also have to have an official position before he can transfer me." ”
Qiao Lin was born in poverty, is a descendant of the Xiongnu who has been sinicized, uninhibited by life, speaking banterly, but very diligent and studious, very young know how to climb the power and attach to the nobles, borrowing the books of famous children to see.
He fell into the first place today, followed Xue Bai to make trouble, and because of his outstanding talent, he has become the backbone of these humble people in just a few days.
Jokes are jokes, but he knows best that those families who control the science field are powerful, and the conversation changed and said: "Of course, if you can read and write, who doesn't have relatives and friends in the family who have a half-official position?" It's just that we haven't dealt with us yet, and sooner or later we will be beaten and beaten. ”
In the tone, there is some hope for this "knocking and beating".
Du Wulang didn't like Bu Lin very much, because he could feel that what Qiao Lin wanted was not to open the passage for the imperial examination of the children of the poor family, but to be recruited by the family by making trouble.
So what? Du Wulang said: "Zuo Xiang called my grandfather over and scolded me, and wanted to teach me a lesson, but I am not afraid."
"Gorou was born in the Jingzhao Du clan, so he is not afraid."
Qiao Lin said, turned her head to look at Xue Bai, and asked in a curious tone, "Xue Lang, the family is powerful, why don't you ask the Holy Judge?" ”
"Holy Judge?
"Yes." Qiao Lin said: "With our strength alone, dealing with the family is like a mayfly shaking a tree, and only by going directly to the Holy Hearing can this matter be turned around." But for some reason, Xue Lang still didn't react after many days? ”
"I don't have a face." Xue Bai shook his head and said.
"Huh?" Qiao Lin always spoke bitterly, and asked, "I waited for the Hanmen scholar to give up his future to fight for Xue Lang, but Xue Lang refused to come forward to ask for the Holy Judgment?"
This sentence has a considerable blow to morale.
Xue Bai was helpless, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth." ”
"I want to hear about it."
I only heard Xue Bai say slowly: "The saint is helpless about this matter. ”
Jolene was surprised, and turned her head to look at the other two gentlemen in the seat.
Xue Bai said: "The saint is a wise man through the ages, but the world's family tree has deep roots, and it can not be shaken overnight. From Taizong, Gaozong, and Wuhou...... Although the imperial examination is a little bit perfect, the family still controls the scientific field. You see, the saints have appointed me as the champion, and now they are about to depose me. ”
"yes." Gao Shi said: "Li Jiayou and we were originally good friends, but now because of persecution at home, Yang Yu is more suitable to be the champion. The world is like this, which makes people sigh. ”
"It's not that Yang Yu is capable, but that the Li family, the Yang family, and the Cui family have already agreed on the quota for a few years."
"Therefore, the saint cannot change the result." Xue Bai said: "I concealed my life experience and deserved to lose the champion." But this breath can't be swallowed, and Cui Qiao must be dealt a blow and Han Shiju a little change, even if it is only a little. ”
This Datang, he can see it more clearly than many people in the world.
There were no ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, and Li Longji regarded himself as a Ming monarch.
The Tang Dynasty had accumulated many ills, and it was time for urgent change. The world needs a real Ming Jun to make great efforts to make various systems adapt to this unprecedented peak and prosperity.
Xue Bai never saw that Li Longji and Li Linfu had touched the disadvantages of Datang. The so-called famous monarchs and famous faces are knocking and beating every day, indulging in the prosperity of the world.
Li Longji can also suppress those ministers and deal with some trivial matters of intrigue. This kind of major event involving the interests of the family really doesn't have the ability to manage it.
Is that really what the shaft said? I can't change the outcome? ”
"Returning to the saints...... Be.
Zhang We's tone was a little frightened, and he bowed down and responded: "The three scholars who were bought by the minister have the same words. In addition, Xue Bai and others also said the same.
Li Longji's eyes were gloomy.
He actually asked Yang Yuhuan, why didn't the third sister enter the palace to intercede? The answer he received made him a little embarrassed.
- "The third sister doesn't want to cause trouble to the saint, and it's not a shame for Xue Bai to survive. ”
No one said it explicitly, but everyone seemed to be sure that the saint had no way to prohibit the family from controlling the science field, and they were all cautious when mentioning this matter, for fear of touching the mold.
Li Longji likes freshness, and he has enjoyed pleasure for more than ten years, and it is still fresh to occasionally involve a little state affairs, but he is quite concerned about this.
"What do you mean? He deceived the king and lost the champion, but he thought it was the persecution of the family? Or do you have a grudge against me?! ”
"I don't know about this.
Li Longji was in a displeased mood, waved Zhang Po away, sang and danced unintentionally, and got up and paced.
Seeing that the saint was rarely so troubled, Gao Lishi couldn't help but feel relieved: "The saint is worried because of the urging of the middle book?
It's just a trivial matter, Xue Bai's champion, degraded Cui Qiao, and the matter is over. ”
"They urged, and it was over? I entrust the affairs of the state to the right minister, so that my subordinates can do things according to my will, not everything according to their wishes! ”
"The saint is angry."
Colliers actually knew why the saint was angry.
This spring festival gradually let the saints see the family's control of the scientific field, and saw their domineering interests that could not be touched slightly. Ninety percent of the officials in the DPRK and China are all from families, but they have a very tacit understanding when something happens, and they don't need to be connected in tandem, and they are already taking action to eliminate the impact of Xue Bai's troubles in the Ministry of Rites.
As a member of the clan, Li Linfu usually fights cocks for personal grievances, and when he really encounters a major event, he does not want to arouse the anger of the public. If it weren't for the saints who stopped him, they would have approved the recital of the deposed champion.
dismissed the champion and degraded Cui Qiao, which seemed fair, but in fact, the family won. And the matter has become a big one, and others don't know the details, and they will say that the Son of Heaven can't even decide on a champion.
Li Longji was annoyed when he thought of losing face, hated Xue Bai, paced a few steps, and asked, "What does General Gao think about being the champion with some money?"
After all, he only has this kind of way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, neither wants to protect Xue Bai, nor does he want to point Yang Yu as the champion, and beat the relevant people and others hard.
Gao Lishi knew that the sage wanted to earn back a little face, and reminded: "Sage, Qian Qi took the first imperial examination, the scroll was stained, the poem was good but it rhymed, and although the Qian family is not a prestigious family, it is also a Wu Xing family. In addition, how to deal with the matter of bamboo paper? ignorance
Who does the saint use to do it? ”
Li Longji frowned.
Even if Yang is not known as the champion, there is no other poor Jinshi who can do it; Others don't have enough will and means, and the bamboo paper still has to be controlled by the family to promote how noble they are.
In the end, nothing changed.
"Xue Bai still has a little trick."
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Longji finally spoke: "This shaft doesn't just play cards and sing. ”
He was disgusted with Xue Bai's harsh methods, and this was the first time he faced up to Xue Bai's ability to consolidate imperial power for him in the officialdom.
