Chapter 90: One Man Blocks the Ministers
"Five-five?"
Framed blinked his eyes, and said in surprise: "Dog minion, you have a pretty big grasp." ”
Then, the pair of charming peach blossom eyes glanced at Huaiqing, and hummed: "If you want to enter the palace, just look for me, why bring some irrelevant people." ”
"I've been a lot bolder lately. Huaiqing nodded and walked over to her.
According to the previous situation, Lin'an must have been startled at this time, jumped like a rabbit, and then slipped away.
But this time she didn't leave, proudly straightened her small chest, pinched her waist, and chose to be hard and Huaiqing, and shouted crisply: "What's the matter, what Bengong said is wrong?"
Xu Qi'an stood between the two of them quietly, and said with a wry smile: "Don't make trouble, the two highnesses, there are outsiders all around, don't make people laugh." ”
Aren't you an outsider?" Huaiqing glanced at him lightly.
Huaiqing, who has a well-developed body + but has a temperament like an iceberg goddess, frowned slightly, and she realized that the relationship between Yinluo Xu Ningyan and Lin'an heated up rapidly in a short period of time.
For example, Xu Qi'an intervened between them, with his back to Lin'an and facing her. This is a subconscious move to protect the former.
For example, when they came together, Lin'an and Xu Ningyan were very close, which exceeded the scope of etiquette between courtiers and princesses.
Obviously, Xu Ningyan has gradually moved closer to Lin'an, and this discovery made Huaiqing feel inexplicably irritable and uncomfortable.
"Didn't Your Highness ask me how I plan to deal with this case, but I didn't say it at the time because I wasn't sure. Now, everything that should be done has been done, and it is up to people to make things happen. ”
Xu Qi'an guided the topic and didn't give the two princesses a chance to tear up, seeing that it really attracted the attention of Huaiqing and Lin'an, he smiled and continued to say:
"At first, I was worried about how to prove Erlang's innocence and prove that he did not cheat, so I racked my brains for this. But then it turned out that it didn't matter if he cheated or not. ”
Xu Xinnian is just a reason, a reason, or a knife for civil officials to start a political game.
In layman's terms, Xu Erlang was a victim of political struggle.
Therefore, the crux of the problem, the key to breaking the situation is the four words "political struggle", and only by winning this battle can Erlang get a fair trial.
Otherwise, a guy who has no backer in the court is innocent or not, which is very important?
Huaiqing bowed slightly, and said, "What you have to do is to find a helper for him, a helper who can win the situation in the court." Herein lies the difficulty.
"The identity of a student of Yunlu Academy makes him destined to be a rootless duckweed, and it is fortunate that the princes do not fall into the well, and it is impossible to help him.
"If Duke Wei makes a move, then those neutral civil officials will also end. No one wants to see Duke Wei and Yunlu Academy form an alliance, and Wang Shoufu probably won't turn a blind eye. ”
Huaiqing understood these mysteries in it, and what bothered her was the word "helper".
Without Wei Yuan, how could Xu Qi'an find a force in the court that could compete with Zuodu Yushi, Sun Shangshu, Cao Guogong, Bingbu Shilang and others?
All his confidence is nothing more than Wei Yuan.
In this game, Emperor Yuan Jing is just a referee......... As long as he doesn't take the initiative to engage Erlang, I can still give it a try...... Xu Qian said.
.........
The princes entered the Jinluan Palace, remained silent, and waited for a quarter of an hour, but Emperor Yuanjing was late.
The old emperor with black hair turned black, wearing a simple Taoist robe with fluttering sleeves, like a Taoist priest rather than an emperor.
After playing the right thing normally, Sun Shangshu of the Criminal Department suddenly came out and said loudly: "Weichen has something to do." ”
In an instant, one by one looked at the back of the scarlet robe, and the slightly dead court atmosphere seemed to stir up a turbulent undercurrent at this moment.
A vortex was transmitted and surging between the princes of the court.
The foreplay is over, and the curtain is slowly opening.
Yuan Xiong, the imperial historian of the left capital, and Qin Yuandao, the squire of the military department, who planned this matter, quietly straightened their waists, showing a strong fighting spirit and confidence.
The Dali Siqing and other parties involved in this matter raised the corners of their mouths, not only waiting for the opening of the show, but also some of them couldn't wait to take revenge on Xu Qi'an and Wei Yuan.
Zhao Tingfang, a university scholar, is alone, and his brows are tightly locked.
In normal times, he is not afraid of provocations between parties, and he is not afraid of the squire of the military department. It's just that now the squire of the military department is coming with the "general trend" and tying up the scholars of Dongge University and the students of Yunlu Academy. If you want to wash away the grievances of the East Pavilion University Scholars, it is equivalent to washing away the grievances for Xu New Year, then there are too many enemies.
Inside and outside the hall, the rest of the neutral parties watched the excitement and watched the changes in tacit understanding. If you talk about the position, it is naturally biased towards the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and it is impossible to favor Yunlu Academy.
"Aiqing, please speak. "Emperor Yuanjing sat on the dragon chair high, and his gas was full of energy.
"The minister was ordered to investigate the case of Zhao Tingfang, a scholar of Dongge University, who accepted bribes and leaked questions to candidates for the New Year, and now the truth has been revealed. There are three people involved in the case, namely Xu Xinnian, a student of Yunlu Academy, Zhao Tingfang, a scholar of Dongge University, and his housekeeper as an intermediary.
In addition, according to Xu Xinnian's confession, he was a sturdy scholar of Dongge University through his brother Xu Qi'an. ”
Sun Shangshu finished the report.
The corresponding confession was presented to the emperor a long time ago, but all matters discussed at the court meeting were submitted one day in advance.
Yuan Xiong, the imperial historian of the left capital, turned sideways and glanced at Wei Yuan expressionlessly.
The rest of the officials also looked at Wei Yuan, waiting for his response and counterattack, Sun Shangshu's step was to forcibly drag Wei Yuan into the water and not give him a chance to stand idly by.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say. ”
At this time, a gray-haired old imperial historian came out of the ranks, and it was Zhang Xingying, who had made great contributions in Yunzhou.
Emperor Yuan Jing's answer remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Aiqing, please speak." ”
Zhang Xingying glanced at Sun Shangshu and said loudly: "The minister wants to sue Sun Min, the secretary of the Criminal Department, for abusing his power and beating him into a trick." Please ask Your Majesty to order the three divisions to be tried and then investigate the case of fraud in the imperial examination. ”
This is a common trick in officialdom: procrastination!
The effect of this trick ultimately depends on the emperor's intentions.
Sun Shangshu sneered and sneered at each other: "This case was personally issued by His Majesty, and the Criminal Department and the government government jointly tried and supervised each other.
"Those three prisoners are in prison, whether they have been tortured into a trick, Your Majesty will send someone to find out. ”
Emperor Yuan Jing nodded slowly, no longer looked at Zhang Yushi, and asked, "Everyone, how do you think this case should be handled?"
Zhang Xingying stood there disappointed.
Sun Shangshu glanced back at Governor Zhang, with a slight disdain in his eyes, such a weak counterattack, is this going to give up?
At the same time, Sun Shangshu was inevitably disappointed, His Majesty's attitude was very clear, procrastination was useless, but he did not immediately characterize the case.
His Majesty is giving Wei Yuan and Zhao Tingfang's henchmen a chance to fight back.
But thinking about dragging Wei Yuan into the water, Yuan Xiong, the imperial historian of the left capital, his eyes lit up, and he immediately came out of the queue and said:
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the nature of this case is extremely serious, after many days of fermentation, everyone in the capital knows about it, the students are full of grievances, and the people are full of righteous indignation. ”
At this time, Dali Siqing came out of the ranks, shook his head and said: "That Xu Qi'an represents Si Tianjian Fighting Law, and he has made great contributions and cannot be disposed of." ”
Dali Temple Qing is a sentence of heart, to Emperor Yuanjing, to the palace to establish an arrogant image of "Xu Qi'an is proud of his merits".
When he said this, Emperor Yuan Jing had to deal with him, otherwise he would have verified the saying of "being proud of his merits" and set a very poor example.
Zhao Tingfang's henchmen came out one after another to refute it.
The princes of the court waited for a moment, and were stunned to find that Wei Yuan actually did not speak, and the imperial history under his hand also died down.
This........ He wants to give up his henchman Xu Qi'an?
All kinds of thoughts flashed in the hearts of the officials in the palace, the direction of the wind quietly changed, and the officials all gave a list of things and made tentative speeches:
"What Dali Siqing said is extremely true, this case must be handled strictly, and must not be tolerated, otherwise the authority of the court will be completely lost, and His Majesty's prestige will be completely lost. ”
For a time, the six departments were listed in the matter to support Dali Siqing's views.
As one of the promoters, the squire of the military department, who did not speak, turned his head to look at Cao Guogong.
Now, the civil official has expressed his position, and the Duke of Cao Guo, who is a first-class duke, will add another fire, and a powerful force will be formed in the palace, and His Majesty has no reason and will not fight against this force for the sake of a scholar.
Cao Guogong's expressionless face came out, attracting the eyes of the ministers and nobles around him.
Cao Guogong also contributed to the "imperial examination fraud case......... If he came forward on behalf of Xungui, Wei Yuan, who had lost the opportunity, would be difficult to turn the situation around, and for him, the New Year might not be important. However, this will make him have an irreparable rift with his confidant Xu Qi'an....... The ladies thought to themselves.
After Cao Guogong came out of the ranks, he stood side by side with Sun Shangshu and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the Criminal Department and the government are too rash in handling this case. Zhao Tingfang, a scholar of Dongge University, has always been honest and has an excellent reputation, how could he accept bribes?
In addition, although Xu Xinnian is only a student, Yunlu Academy has not had a "Huiyuan" for many years, so if it is so rashly decided, how can the Confucian scholars of the academy give up. ”
Cao Guogong's words are actually very simple to extract: Xu Xinnian is a student who is the focus of Yunlu Academy, and when dealing with him, we must consider the attitude of the academy and not be too heavy.
Sun Shangshu stiffened his neck, turned his head a little, and stared at Cao Guogong in disbelief.
The faces of Zuodu Yushi and the military department changed slightly, and before the impeachment was written, the two had a conspiracy. Then, Cao Guogong took the initiative to add fuel to the fire, united with the nobles, and wanted to support the two.
Multi-party tacit understanding to form an alliance and work together.
At this moment, Yuan Xiong and Qin Yuandao had a kind of anger that the "revolution" had been betrayed.
What's going on?!
The princes in the palace could not hide their stunned expressions, and Cao Guogong changed his camp? So what was the point of him adding fuel to the fire before..........
Suddenly, the princes were startled and looked at Wei Yuan.
When, when did Wei Yuan persuade Cao Guogong and what benefits were promised?
Just when the princes were speculating, Wei Yuan came back to his senses and glanced at Cao Guogong in surprise.
Wei Yuan seemed extremely surprised, didn't he know either.......... This detail fell into the eyes of everyone, making the ministers more and more puzzled.
For a while, the situation in the court suddenly became treacherous.
The ministers fell silent, did not immediately jump out to refute, and chose to watch the situation develop.
The soldier couldn't keep silent, took three steps forward, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, Cao Guogong's words are heart-wrenching. Imagine, if Xu Xinnian is a student of Yunlu Academy, he will be dealt with lightly, how will the Guozijian Society feel?
"When Emperor Wenzu set up the Guozijian and swept the scholars of Yunlu Academy out of the court, what was the reason?
Cheng Yasheng erected a tablet inscription in Yunlu Academy: Righteousness and death are rewarded for the grace of the king, and the name of the centuries will be passed down through the ages. It is to tell future generations how to be loyal and patriotic.
"Do you want to let Emperor Wenzu's helplessness repeat itself?"
Emperor Yuan Jing instantly narrowed his eyes, no longer indifferent, and switched to a powerful king.
Terrible!
The corners of Sun Shangshu and Dali Siqing's mouths were slightly raised, and this trick was very clever in changing the concept, as if drawing a line on the court, on one side was a scholar from Guozijian, and on the other side was Yunlu Academy.
How to choose the battle of Taoism?
If a civil official wants to speak for Xu Xinnian, he must consider his own position, and consider whether he will turn his back on the court and the ministers because of his remarks.
Yuan Xiong, the imperial history of Zuodu, almost stroked his beard and laughed, so Wei Yuan had to go down, because there were some words that were difficult for scholars to say. But he, the leader of the eunuch party, can, because he is not a scholar from the imperial examination.
If Wei Yuan is killed, how will Wang Shoufu make a statement, and how will the rest of the civil servants who are watching and neutral react?
Dragging Wei Yuan into the water, and then defeating him with the general momentum, making him compromise and retreating from the control of the Imperial Court of the Zuo Capital is an important plan of the Imperial History of Zuodu in the near future.
"Humph!"
At this time, a cold snort full of monstrous anger sounded in the hall.
Everyone followed the sound and turned their heads, it was the little transparent king who had always been the king, this prince in a dark yellow dragon suit stepped out, his face was pale, his temples were frost white, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were profound, looking extremely old.
Seeing him out of the ranks, Qin Yuandao, who was still emotionally impassioned, sank in vain.
"Pushing forward two hundred years, this king has never heard of the scholars of Yunlu Academy who have done anything to assassinate the county lord. This is what you Guozi Jian scholars call loyal to the monarch and patriotism?"
King Yu shouted and scolded: "Hypocrisy!"
Then, he looked towards Emperor Yuan Jing and said, "Your Majesty, what is the truth of the imperial examination fraud case, the younger brother doesn't care. The younger brother just felt that the corpses of the officials of the Criminal Department were vegetarian and incompetent.
"If they can handle the case, how can my poor Pingyang cry out and die, if it weren't for the watchman Yinluo Xu Qi'an to thoroughly investigate the case, I'm afraid that today I still can't get revenge.
"The case of fraud in the imperial examination is of great importance, and I hope that Your Majesty can retry this case and try it together with the three divisions. ”
Emperor Yuan Jing frowned and hesitated.
King Yu immediately cried: "Your Majesty, my poor Pingyang ......."
Shameless!
Sun Shangshu, Dali Siqing, Zuodu Yushi, Bingbu Shilang and others changed their faces greatly, and the main case of Pingyang County was a thorn in the line between the civil officials and Emperor Yuan Jing.
The soldier told Emperor Yuan Jing that the scholars of Yunlu Academy could not control it. And now, King Yu is telling Emperor Yuan Jing that the scholars of Guozijian also have the intention of murdering the clan and will take action.
Wei Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, that kid could ask for the help of King Yu, he expected, but why Cao Guogong defected, he had a rough guess in his heart, but he couldn't verify it now.
Although Xu Ningyan is not good at party contention, he has a very high level of understanding and looks at the situation to the point.
At this time, Cao Guogong and the rest of the nobles echoed one after another, faintly forming a confrontation with the civil officials.
Wang Shoufu watched coldly, but he was quite surprised in his heart, the current situation of confrontation between Xungui and Wenchen was something he didn't expect.
Cao Guogong and King Yu are not all the way, and these two and Wei Yuan are not all the way, but it is indeed an indisputable fact that the two sides joined forces.
Who is behind all this?
The man behind the scenes clearly knows who his enemies are, and from then on, he develops a strategy to find forces that can compete with the "adversary".
Honorable ....... Binh Duong County Chief Case........ Is it him?!Wang Shoufu had a guess flashing in his heart, his face paused slightly, and then returned to normal.
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and Sun Shangshu and others were in their hearts. If this case is retried, and the yamen will also come to get involved, then all plans will be in vain.
In the end, a situation of multi-party bargaining and stalemate will be formed.
Although Xu Xinnian was unable to participate in the palace examination because of this, who would care if a Huiyuan could participate in the palace examination?
Sun Shangshu, who is an important backbone of the Wang Party, frequently gives Wang Shoufu a look.
What's the matter with you, big brother? We're fighting bloody battles in front, and you're not saying a word in the rear?
Wang Shoufu noticed Sun Shangshu's eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, from his position, he didn't care who won or lost in this case. First, Wei Yuan did not come to an end, and secondly, Xu Xinnian could not represent the entire Yunlu Academy.
If you really don't like it, go back and find a reason to send it to the corner.
However, Sun Shangshu, as the backbone of the Wang Party, charged into battle, and if he stood by and watched at this time, it would chill people's hearts. This is where partisanship comes in.
A lot of times, you can't help yourself.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a way to quickly close this case. Wang Shoufu came out of the column and said slowly:
"Zhao Tingfang, a scholar of Dongge University, has not leaked the question, just give it a try Xu New Year. Your Majesty may summon him to the palace, and you will personally write the questions and examinations, and let him compose poems in front of the princes.
"Whether the song "Difficult to Walk" is ghostwritten by others, you will know when you try it. As for the theory of scripture and righteousness, the palace test is imminent, whether Xu Xinnian has real talent and real learning, His Majesty will decide in person after reading the article.
"If it's really a straw bag, it means that the leak is true, the fraud is true, and the punishment will not be granted. ”
Emperor Yuan Jing stared at Wang Shoufu for a moment, and said with a smile: "This statement is reasonable, so it will be according to what Aiqing said." ”
Sun Shangshu and the others were happy, and Wang Shoufu's words seemed to be muddy at first glance, but in fact, the bias was obvious.
His Majesty personally wrote the questions, tested the poems, and asked Xu Xinnian to compose poems in the palace. In the entire Dafeng, only Shikui Xu Qi'an can do it.
If you can't pass this level, why talk about the palace test?
King Yu immediately said: "Your Majesty, this method is too rash, poetry is excellent, in fact, idlers can come easily?"
Zhang Xingying immediately agreed.
Yuan Xiong, the imperial historian of Zuodu, said with a smile: "In the examination room, time is also limited, this Xu Huiyuan can make a song, why can't he make a second song?"
"King Yu's words are wrong, Xu New Year can make a masterpiece, which shows that he is very good at poetry. When he composes another song, the comparison between the two will naturally be clear. ”
"Your Majesty, this is a wonderful method. ”
The six departments took the lead in supporting the matter, and the rest of the civil officials agreed.
Cao Guogong stood by and watched, he only promised to help Xu New Year get a light hair, and did not intend to let him get away with it.
King Yu's face sank, and he was about to continue to persuade, but Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand and said lightly: "I have made up my mind, King Yu doesn't need to say it anymore." ”
............
After a stick of incense, the Ouchi guard in armor entered the Jinluan Hall and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, bring it for the New Year." ”
The originally stagnant atmosphere suddenly became active, and the princes of the court were instantly in good spirits.
Emperor Yuanjing bowed his head, and his voice was majestic: "Bring it in." ”
Ouchi's guards retired, and a few minutes later, wearing prison uniforms and handsome features, Chun Yu Huiyuan, Xu Xinnian arrived.
He slowly walked through the passage paved with a scarlet carpet, passed through the ministers on both sides, and came to Emperor Yuan Jing.
This, this is the legendary Jinluan Palace?!
This is the place where the princes of the court go to court?!
Why did you refer me to the Golden Luang Palace......... A series of question marks flashed in Xu Xinnian's mind, his heart was excited, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
In a very low voice, he applied a buff to himself: "The landslide does not change color in front!"
In an instant, Xu Erlang's heart was as calm as well water, he was not alarmed, his eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to take the princes on both sides in his eyes.
Zuo Yi said: "Student Xu Xinnian, I have seen Your Majesty. ”
The Ouchi guard immediately said, "Your Majesty, it has been verified that you are in the right place." ”
Emperor Yuan Jing looked at the young man whose skin was so good that he was lawless, bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"I ask you, did the scholar of Dongge University accept bribes and leak questions to you?"
Xu Xinnian shouted: "Your Majesty, the students have been wronged. ”
No one paid attention to his defense, and Emperor Yuan Jing interrupted lightly: "I will give you a chance, if you want to prove your innocence, I will write a poem in this Jinluan Palace, and I will personally write the question, Xu New Year, do you dare?"
I don't dare, I don't dare........ Xu Xinnian's face turned slightly pale.
He didn't expect that he would be taken to the Jinluan Palace and face such a situation.
"Difficult to Walk" was ghostwritten by his eldest brother, not by him, although he has changed two words, you can pat your chest and say: This poem is written by me.
However, if he was asked to write another poem, and it was an impromptu poem, he could not do it.
This can be done unless a saint possesses it........... Xu Xinnian was desperate in his heart, and he even had the idea of confessing everything and praying for a lighter punishment from the court.
But reason told him that once he admitted that "Hard to Walk" was not his own, then what awaited him was an ending that slipped into the abyss.
No one cares if it's Big Brother betting on the right question.
What should I do, what should I do, I didn't expect that the first time I came to the Jinluan Palace in the New Year, but it was the last time? He deeply felt the difficulties and dangers of officialdom.
Big brother, what should I do........
Xu Xinnian's expression and face were all seen by the ministers and Emperor Yuan Jing.
Sun Shangshu's eyes flashed with pleasure, Xu Qi'an wrote poems and nailed him to the pillar of shame, but now feng shui takes turns, it should be him fifteen.
Qin Yuandao, the squire of the military department, exhaled silently, only feeling that the overall situation had been decided. After overthrowing Zhao Tingfang, his next step was to plot the location of Dongge University.
And the cabinet is Wang Shoufu's territory, and Sun Shangshu is the backbone of the Wang party, which is almost a certainty.
Yuan Xiong, the imperial historian of Zuodu, looked at Wei Yuan, he was in a very bad mood, because Wei Yuan never made a move, so his abacus fell through.
However, it is not a loss to let Wei Yuan lose a capable leader.
Sure enough, it still came to this point......... Wei Yuan sighed silently, when he first learned that Xu Xinnian was involved in the imperial examination fraud case, Wei Yuan felt that this matter was not difficult, and then Xu Qi'an confessed to ghostwriting poems, Wei Yuan's advice to him was:
Strive to get off lightly.
This is a fatal flaw.
Xu Ningyan seemed to have something else to rely on, he didn't say it, but I could feel it....... Cao Guogong's defection Wei Yuan had a rough guess in his heart, but how to solve the matter of composing poetry, Wei Yuan had no clue at all.
Emperor Yuanjing looked down at Xu Xinnian condescendingly, and his voice was majestic and low: "Don't dare?"
Grunt....... Xu Xinnian swallowed his saliva, stretched out his head and shrunk his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please ask the question." ”
Emperor Yuan Jing smiled and said leisurely: "Repay the gentleman's kindness on the festival of righteousness and death, well, I will write a poem with the title of "Loyalty to the Monarch and Serving the Country". Give you a stick of incense time. ”
Hearing Emperor Yuan Jing's question, Sun Shangshu and the others couldn't help but laugh secretly.
His Majesty knew that Xu Xinnian was a student of Yunlu Academy, but he came up with such an exam question, which was deliberate.
Moreover, since ancient times, most of the poems of loyalty to the country have been written when the country is ruined. There are very few masterpieces on this theme in the Taiping and prosperous eras.
It's a difficult question!
Loyalty to the country as the theme.......... Xu Xinnian stiffened and froze in place.
On the same day, the eldest brother drew lots and pulled out two exam questions, one is Yongzhi and the other is patriotism. Yong Zhishi had already played a role in the Spring Festival, helping him become the leader of the dynasty.
Then, the rest of the patriotic poems will naturally be useless.
He never expected that the title given by Emperor Yuan Jing was a poem with the theme of loyalty and patriotism.
Mo, Mo Fei....... Your Majesty has long been in cahoots with the eldest brother? Otherwise, how can we explain such a coincidence.
Emperor Yuan Jing looked at the Chun Hui Yuan in the hall with an expressionless face, and observed the words and expressions of an emperor's skills that he had perfected during the princely period.
This Xu Huiyuan's various expressions and eyes are all expounding the panic and despair in his heart, so that he is stunned.
King Yu, who also came over from the time of the prince, coughed and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty........"
"King Honor!"
The squire of the military department interrupted in a loud voice and said, "The time for a stick of incense is limited, don't disturb Xu Huiyuan to compose poems, the court princes are waiting." ”
King Yu's face sank.
In this regard, the ministers had different expressions, some worried, some happy, some sneering, and some watching coldly.
In the silence, Xu Xinnian said loudly: "There is no need for a stick of incense, the students thank Your Majesty for your kindness and opportunity." My eldest brother Xu Qi'an is a great poet, and he writes poems at his fingertips.
"Naturally, I can't disgrace him. ”
Well?!
So confident all of a sudden?
The princes of the court, King Yu and Emperor Yuan Jing were stunned at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, a subdued voice sounded in the inner sanctum:
"The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun. ”
In a short sentence, a vivid siege map is sketched in the hearts of all living beings. The enemy rolled in like a black cloud. On the city walls, the armor of the defenders shimmered in sunlight and stood ready for battle.
Xu Xinnian looked back, his eyes slowly swept over the princes, and chanted: "The sound of the horn is full of autumn colors, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple." ”
The Manchu Dynasty was stunned, this scholar had never been on the battlefield, but why did he describe the scene of the battlefield so aptly and so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?
"Half a roll of red flags is in the water, and the frost is heavy and the cold is silent. ”
"It's a frost and a cold sound, Ben Hou seems to have returned to the years when he was shrouded in horse leather and guarding the border. Wei Haibo was fascinated and praised loudly.
The rest of the nobles were equally immersed in the charm of poetry.
The civil official frowned, and glanced at the vulgar martial artists in displeasure, disgusted by their sudden interruption.
Sun Shangshu glanced at Yuan Xiong, the imperial history of the left capital, Yuan Xiong looked blankly at Qin Yuandao, the squire of the military department, and Qin Yuandao looked at Dali Siqing with a pale face.
The four of them silently exchanged glances, and their hearts sank.
Dali Siqing said in a deep voice: "This poem ........ It's good, but what does it have to do with loyalty? What you write is just a battlefield and a dignified meeting, and you can't even match the title of the poem.
"What's not cheating?"
"Exactly!" Qin Yuandao said loudly.
Xu Xinnian turned a deaf ear, Huo Ran turned around, bowed his head towards Emperor Yuan Jing, and made a gesture, his voice became more and more high-pitched, resounding in the hall:
"Repay the king's intention on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king. ”
Dali Siqing's breath was stagnant, and he looked at Xu Xinnian in a daze, only to feel that his face was slapped hard by an invisible slap, and a rush of fire surged into his heart.
Sun Shangshu and the others also turned pale, and the blue tendons on their foreheads bloomed.
repay the king's intention on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king.......... Emperor Yuan Jing leisurely reminisced, and then smiled, and the dragon face was happy:
"Good poetry, good poetry. is worthy of being a Huiyuan, and he is worthy of being a genius who can write "Difficult to Walk". ”
Anyone can see that His Majesty is in a very good mood.
After a pause, Emperor Yuan Jing asked, "However, what does this golden platform mean?"
The golden platform should be a high platform for gold casting......... Xu Xinnian bowed down and gave his understanding: "Serve Your Majesty, die for Your Majesty, don't say that it is a high platform cast of gold, it is a jade platform, and it will also be at your fingertips." ”
Emperor Yuan Jing slowly bowed his head, and the smile on his face became more and more profound: "Yes, the imperial court has always rewarded and punished clearly, and it will never treat meritorious heroes badly. So do I. ”
He continued: "Xu Huiyuan's poems are not inferior to his brother, and "Difficult to Walk" is your own work. As for the scriptures and strategies, I will read them myself during the temple examination, so as not to disappoint me.
"As long as you can enter the second class, I can promise to let you enter the Hanlin Academy and become a Jiji. ”
Hanlin Yuan is also known as the place of the prime minister, although the Ji Ji Shi is not as good as the first, but also has the qualifications to enter the cabinet, is the first class of the Qing noble.
Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu, one to the left and the other to the right, glanced at Xu Xinnian at the same time.
Xu Xinnian was relieved and suppressed the joy in his heart: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Yuanjing said: "I am tired, retreat from the dynasty." ”
It's over, the case of fraud in the imperial examination, so far, it's almost conclusive.
Unless Xu Xinnian performs abnormally in the palace examination and the article is poorly written, this probability is very small, as a student of Yunlu Academy, when he is a court Huiyuan, his talent is definitely the top among the tributes.
The most important thing is that His Majesty seems to appreciate this son, and this is crucial.
The princes of the court had strange faces, but they didn't expect the case to end in such a way.
Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice........ Sun Shangshu's face was ugly, after the palace examination, the imperial examination fraud case was over, and someone would definitely take the opportunity to attack him, accusing him of abusing his power and framing him.
In the six sections, as well as the rest of the three majors, there was a burst of disappointment and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
This dissatisfaction almost reached its peak after hearing that Emperor Yuan Jing promised to let Xu Xinnian enter the Hanlin Academy.
What qualifications does a student of Yunlu Academy have to enter the Hanlin Academy? In the two hundred years since the establishment of Guozijian, there has never been such a thing.
The princes of the palace and the ministers outside the palace dispersed with mixed feelings, and as they crossed the main square, they saw a silver gong standing with a sword.
Facing the noon gate, facing the ministers.
The two princesses, Huaiqing and Lin'an, stood in the distance and did not stand side by side with Xu Qi'an.
On one side are hundreds of well-dressed beasts and Beijing officials who hold real power.
On one side is a vulgar martial artist who stands alone, beating the silver gong.
One person blocked the most powerful group of people in Daebong.
The ministers noticed this little silver gong that made a gesture to block the way, and also recognized his identity, and there was no one in the Beijing who did not know him.
What does he want to do?
This vulgar martial artist wants to be proud and show off his might?
The six books of Shangshu, the squire, the six branches of the matter, the clan, and the honorable ......... A pair of eyes fell on Xu Qi'an, scrutinizing him.
A mere martial artist, how dare you stand in our way?
One person and one knife stand at the noon gate, blocking the ministers alone.
Xu Qi'an greeted the ministers, slowly swept through everyone, and suddenly sneered, sank into the dantian, and said slowly:
"Ercao's body and name are extinguished, and the rivers and rivers will flow through the ages....... Phew!"
He spat hard, carried the knife, and walked away slowly.
Group mockery!
Inside and outside the noon gate, there was a dead silence for a moment.
