"Xu cijiu can write a fart poem. If I write a few sentences casually, I can make him feel ashamed. If it had not been for his cousin Xu Qi'an, the jade pendant of Ziyang Jushi would have been mine. "

Zhu tuizhi thought of the festival that day and scolded.

"Could it be the imperial examination fraud?" Liu Jue said tentatively.

"Nonsense The students of Yunlu Academy were very angry and glared at him one by one.

Zhu xuneng wrote the famous word "cheating in senior high school", which was passed down in his mind.

Immediately, Zhu tuizhi shook his head: "impossible, poetry is not an article. If you know the examination questions in advance, you will have time to prepare fully. Brother Liu, I asked you to take "spring scenery" as the title and give you three days. Can you write a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation

Liu Jue shook his head: "I'm so ashamed. I'm afraid I can't write it for three years."

After a sip of wine, he showed a deep smile and lowered his voice: "but brother Zhu, if you think about it, what if it's Xu Qian who writes poems for him?"

No matter the students of Yunlu academy or the students of Guozijian, they didn't refute immediately. I thought about it in my mind.

Yes, if it's Xu Shikui, if he knows the questions in advance, not to mention three days, I'm afraid he can write them in one day.

Farewell poems and plum poems, as well as the half of the poem singing before "sacrifice" in Yunzhou, are all sitting in front of the battle.

The students of Yunlu academy are even more associated with the "persuading poetry" posted on the wall of the Academy's fame. According to the great scholar of the Academy, Xu Ningyan's poetry is amazing.

"Hum, how did Xu Qi'an know the examination questions?"

Although I think so in my heart, I won't admit it, asked the students of Yunlu Academy.

"I don't know," said Liu Jue with a smile, waving her hand. "It's just drunken talk, guessing. However, Xu Qi'an was a silver Gong, which was widely spread in officialdom. He was deeply trusted by Wei Yuan... "

he didn't go on.

With this episode, the students of Yunlu academy lost the mood of drinking, sat down for a while, and then got up to leave.

Liu Jue, who is good at communication, personally sends Zhu tuizhi and others downstairs, and then takes the initiative to settle the bill. Everyone disperses outside the restaurant.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Jue went back and got into a carriage parked outside the restaurant.

A middle-aged man dressed up as a rich man was sitting in the carriage, with a jade finger on his thumb, a walnut in his hand and a teacup in his other hand.

"Zhao is in charge!"

Liu Jue bowed respectfully.

The middle-aged man nodded, put down the cup, opened the cup of tea on the small tea table, poured a cup of tea, frowned and said: "full of wine, drink tea."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Liu Jue, holding the tea cup in both hands, finished drinking it with a smile, and said slowly:

"I've found out something. According to the students of Yunlu academy, Xu cijiu can't write poetry at all, and his level is poor. Nine times out of ten, that song is written by someone else. Of course, I have no evidence. "

Hearing this, the middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile and said with a smile, "there is no need for evidence. This is enough."

In the outer city, in the yard with willows.

Taoist priest Jinlian, who has just swallowed Xuetai pill, is bathed in the sunshine of spring. He feels that his body is no longer cold and is no longer transformed into yin. However, some Yin Qi remains in his body, which can be eliminated by another Xuetai pill.

"This body doesn't fit with my original spirit. It won't take long. Fortunately, the golden lotus is about to mature. The lotus seed can reshape my body for me, and it's time for me to leave Beijing.

"I hope there will be no accident."

Taoist Jinlian prayed in his heart.

....

"Dalao, it seems that the girl is not from Dafeng."

The son of Porter Lao Zhang thought about it and said, "it's an ugly girl with black skin and blue eyes. It's ugly, too. It's curly. "

Number five?!

What did she come to my house for? Taoist Jinlian asked her to come? Does she know I'm number three?

Taoist priest Jinlian asked him to help him find No. 5 instead of No. 3, which could be covered up by "No. 3 is too low". After all, the more Confucianists follow their words, the more terrifying their strength becomes.

However, in the early stage, nine to seven grades were all spicy chicken, and six grades could copy other people's skills, so they had considerable combat power.

In Chu Yuanzhen's and Hengyuan's view, although No. 3 Xu cijiu is extremely smart, his powerful cousin Xu Ningyan is more reliable when he really needs it.

It seems that today only absenteeism..... Xu Qi'an nodded: "I know, after I ask for leave, I will go back to the house with you."

After asking for leave, Xu Qi'an sits on horseback and trots to the direction of Xu's house. Xiao Zhang, the son of the porter Lao Zhang, trots with him.

Two quarters of an hour later, he arrived at Xu's mansion, which is not far from the Yamen. Xu Qi'an gave the bridle to Xiao Zhang and went straight into the mansion.As soon as I entered the outer courtyard, I saw the cooks carrying plates of hot dishes, steamed bread and rice to the inner courtyard.

"Dalao is back..." the cooks said with relief, and looked into the inner courtyard:

"there is a girl in the mansion who said she was looking for you. She can't say clearly what it has to do with you. She mutters and nine out of ten sentences can't hear clearly."

ten sentences, nine sentences can not hear clearly, five South Xinjiang accent is a bit heavy... Xu Qian Tucao, and the kitchen lady into the courtyard, far heard the voice of the inner hall Xu Ling Yue gentle voice:

"Lina girl from South Xinjiang, and make complaints about my brother."

"I'm not here to find your elder brother, but to find some friends. I'm just going to experience..." a voice with a strong accent rang out, saying Dafeng Mandarin.

But the sound is like a silver bell. It's clear and pleasant.

"So you don't know my big brother?"

"I don't know."

In a few words, you can find out the details. The girl is not very smart, and it has nothing to do with her elder brother..... Xu Lingyue warmly entertains Lina.

Aunt sitting in a chair not far away, frowning, slightly hostile look at Lina.

This foreign woman is really good at eating. In half an hour, she ate the three-day rations of her family. If she changed them into silver, it would be more than ten Liang.

My aunt specially asked the cook to prepare some rice noodles, steamed bread and vegetable dishes. How much money would she have to eat if there were big fish and big meat?

Who can afford such a girl.

"Miss Lina? What are you doing here? "

Xu Qi'an stepped into the threshold and looked at the little girl from southern Xinjiang in surprise. Compared with yesterday's pale face, she now looks ruddy, eyes bright, it seems that the injury has healed.

"Taoist Jinlian asked me to come to you and said that during my stay in Beijing, I would live with you. Thank you for saving your life. "

Lina quickly puts down her chopsticks and swallows the food. She looks at Xu Qi'an generously.

She thought that she had come to the capital, and that either Taoist Jinlian, or no. 3, or No. 4, or no. 6, would receive her. Who would have thought, finally actually live in a strange man's home.

What happened yesterday, Taoist Jinlian had told her that Lina knew that this young silver Gong with excellent appearance was her own life-saving benefactor.

Since she is a trusted friend of Taoist priest, Nana also trusts him unreservedly.

She called me Lord Xu, not number three..... Xu Qi'an stared at Lina for a moment, unable to see the clue from her clear and innocent eyes.

Why did Taoist Jinlian arrange her beside me? What is the meaning of this?

Old silver coin didn't consult with me before doing this. Judging from my experience in dealing with old silver coins, if I consult in advance, there is no plan.

If we don't discuss it in advance, we must have deep meaning.

So Xu Qi'an asked, "what else did Taoist priest say to you?"

Lina nibbled at the steamed bread and said vaguely, "Taoist Jinlian said that you are his best friend in the capital. Just let me stay at home."

Swallowing the steamed bread, she said angrily and wrongly, "Taoist priest said I'm too good to eat and can't support me."

Ah... Xu Qi'an's face is dull. It turns out that Jinlian sent her to me because she can't afford to eat?

This is really an impeccable reason. In the same way, No. 6, who lives in a nursing home, and No. 4, who depends on old friends for food and housing, can't afford to raise a little girl in southern Xinjiang.

Damn it, it's very uncomfortable to be regarded as a big dog. People are floating in the river. Either you or I are whoring for nothing. Retribution... Xu Qi'an sighed: "I see."

"Cough!"

My aunt coughed hard to show her sense of being a housewife.

But Xu Qian ignored her and said to himself, "OK, I'll have someone arrange a room for you right away."

"Xu Ningyan!"

My aunt got up from the chair, pinched her waist and glared at each other angrily: "I'm your aunt, you. Don't you want to discuss with me?"

Then he glanced at the disheveled dining table and told his unfortunate nephew that the girl was bottomless.

This... When Xu Qi settled down, she hesitated. Her aunt had a good reason to think about it. The price of the capital is expensive. It's too expensive for the girl to eat so much.

What's more, my luck has changed recently. Instead of collecting money, I have accumulated reputation. Then, Wei yuan deducted my salary.

"Brother, did you forget chicken essence?"

At this time, Xu Lingyue opened her mouth, and she calculated an account for Xu Qi'an: "the Yanyun Yamen in the capital issued a ticket to sell salt for 2000 Jin last year, making a profit of 5000 Liang, of which the eldest brother accounted for 10% and 500 Liang. You haven't asked for the silver from the sky warden yet.

"I asked the officials of Yanyun yamen that the imperial court planned to set up at least ten workshops to make chicken essence this year, and it would be an unimaginable huge fortune by the end of this year."So we don't need money any more."

Xu Lingyue's "salt ticket" only refers to chicken essence. Now chicken essence, like salt, has become an important strategic material for the imperial court. Last year, the company was born in the sky, and it was unable to produce on a large scale. However, after expanding the scale of production this year, the profit is immeasurable.

If you don't tell me, I really forget...... it must be that bad old man in charge shielded chicken essence, which made me forget that he wanted to cheat me.

Xu Qian was surprised to find that he was actually the father of MA in this era.

Lina didn't understand at all, but she felt very powerful. She came all the way from southern Xinjiang to the capital and knew what a copper plate could buy and what a coin could buy.

At the same time, I also know how difficult it is to earn money.

Subconsciously, she looked at the "adult Xu" with pure worship in her eyes. It was like a little girl seeing her neighbor's brother scalding his face, wearing jeans and hanging a decorative iron chain around her waist, dancing hip-hop in her yard.

"I don't know about it." My aunt doubted.

"Don't you know, aunt? I asked Lingyue to tell you." Xu Qi'an looks at his sister.

Xu Lingyue's face was at a loss: "Niang Xu forgot it."

My aunt opened her mouth and could not speak. She was not sure if she had forgotten. She had no impression of such a large "profit".

At this time, Lina with the tone of worship, asked: "may I ask your name?"

She learned this way of questioning when Dafeng was wandering in the world.

"Xu Qian!"

"Xu, Xu Qi'an..." Lina tilted her head and thought for a long time, then suddenly she screamed: "you are Xu Qi'an. Didn't you die in Yunzhou?"

Aunt and Xu Lingyue looked over suspiciously.

This foreign girl claims to know Xu Qi'an, but she doesn't know about her rebirth. What is she doing here?

"Take a step."

Xu Qi'an pulls Lina out of the side hall, stops at the flower bed and explains, "I'm not dead. It's Li Miaozhen who made a mistake. Well, actually, I'm a member of the heaven and Earth Society. Although I don't have corresponding fragments of the earth book, I know everything about you like the back of my hand. "

"No wonder Taoist Jinlian asked me to come to you." Lina showed a happy smile and easily believed Xu Qian's words without any doubt.

It's a good trick... "Xu Qi'an said seriously:" this is a secret. You can't let it out, even inside the heaven and Earth Society. "

"Good!"

Lina smiles and nods.

"Eat."

If only everyone in the world were as simple and innocent as No. 5..... Xu Qi'an looked at his lively back and sighed heartily.

He still has a lot of things to ask No. 5, such as how she knows that it is No. 3 who collects silver, not No. 5.

People who are not in a hurry and have a simple personality are usually more stubborn and will keep secrets if they say they keep secrets.

But cannibal mouth soft, wait for her to eat a few days more at home, she whenever have a little conscience, know white whoring is wrong.

......

cabinet.

Wang Zhenwen, who is wearing Fei robe, has been sitting at the desk for two hours. He went to the toilet several times in the middle of the journey, and devoted himself to official business the rest of the time.

The cabinet is equivalent to the private secretary of the emperor, with great power, much higher than the six ministries.

All the memorials of the imperial court, large and small, and even the suggestions put forward by the people to the emperor, were collected by the general secretary, and then submitted to the cabinet by the Secretary for rites.

The cabinet is responsible for drafting the handling opinions, which are then submitted to the emperor by the Secretary for rites, and finally decided how to deal with them. Finally, they are proofread and distributed by the six departments.

In the reign of emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty, the Minister of general administration directly handed over the memorial to the cabinet, which drafted the handling opinions, and finally handed them over to Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty.

A process is omitted in the middle.

This is because emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty thought that the process in the middle hindered his cultivation.

It is precisely the process omitted in the middle that is most insidious. Because in this way, what emperor Jingdi yuan saw was only the fold that the cabinet let him see.

Of course, although emperor Yuanjing was not a good emperor, he was good at using power. In order to curb the excessive power of civil servants and overhead imperial power, he thought of a way to achieve the best of both worlds.

This method is called "Wei Yuan".

In terms of the overall situation, all parties and Weiyuan party are in a state of flux. On a small scale, there are fierce battles among various parties.

Yuan Jingdi sat in Diaoyutai, responsible for maintaining balance and cultivating Taoism.

Wang Zhenwen opened the last Memorial. After reading the contents above, he pondered and sat in silence for a long time. Then, take out a piece of paper, write down your suggestion and stick it on the memorial.

After all this, it's just the dusk.

...

in the evening, Xu Lingyin's life and death enemy is on the table of Xu's house.For this born sister, Xu Lingyin loves and hates. Love is because after "sister" comes, there are many times more meals at home.

I hate my sister for eating too much.

With a calm face, Xu Er Shu examined Lina, turned his head and asked his nephew, "is she a member of the Gu clan in southern Xinjiang, a member of the Li Gu tribe?"

Lina raised her face from the bowl, with rice grains on her mouth, and said in a crisp voice, "I'm from the Department of Li Gu. How can Uncle Xu know?"

Who is your second uncle! Hum, Xu Pingzhi.

In the Shanhaiguan battle, he had experienced a great war and had seen the terrible physical strength of the barbarians in the Department of Li Gu. Their characteristic was that they could eat.

It's common for a strong legu tribe to eat a cow a day.

At that time, Wei Yuan never captured the people of Ligu tribe. He killed them directly to save food and grass.

"Big brother, let me tell you something." Xu Xinnian suddenly opens his mouth.

"I knew you had something to do, but I didn't loose my brow. Tell me about it. " Xu Qian grabs meat from Lina and replies to his cousin.

"Miss Wang asked me to visit the lake tomorrow." Xu said.

"What do you think?" Xu Qian pondered.

Xu put down his chopsticks and said with disdain, "it's just two reasons. Either it's out of personal enmity, I want to find a place for the niece of the Minister of punishment.

"Either Wang Shoufu didn't want to let me go, and he secretly choked me."

"What kind of possibility do you think it is?" Xu Pingzhi took over.

As for Miss Wang, I think it's a pity that he won't be the first to Miss Wang in the new year

Smelling Yan, Xu Lingyue put down her chopsticks and looked serious: "second brother, you are not good at dealing with women. I'll go with you..."

she took a quick look at Xu Qian and said, "although people don't know those messy fights, women still know women best."

Xu Xinnian sneered at his eldest sister's IQ. "Who said I had to go? It's Miss Wang who invited me to visit the lake, not Wang Shoufu. In this case, it's improper for unmarried men and unmarried women to visit the lake together. I just refuse.

"The law of the army says that if the enemy advances, we will retreat. If the situation is weak, we must not attack him."

Yes, it's ok... Xu Qi'an nodded: "you've made up your mind, and you asked me what to do."

The family ate and talked in a harmonious atmosphere.

...

the next day, Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty finished meditation, studied the Scriptures for half an hour, took bait, and then raised his spirit for a long time.

At this time, he would take some time to read the memorials, and it would not take too long, because the cabinet had already done a good job of "vote drafting", and he only needed to approve the red.

He opened it, but then it was mentioned in the memorial that there was a cousin of naixuezi, who was the silver Gong of the watchman's Yamen. His name was Xu Qi'an.

As we all know, Xu Qi'an is the chief poet of Dafeng.

After reading the memorial, the eyes of emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty were sharp, but he didn't express his opinion. Then he uncovered the cabinet's "vote plan", which read the cabinet's suggestion:

"the imperial examination is the most important thing since ancient times to find the talents for the imperial court. Cheating in the imperial examination is intolerable. I hope your majesty will check it out. "

Emperor yuan Jingdi pondered for a moment, raised his pen and criticized the red.

PS: thanks for the silver League reward of "cutting off the heavy training hyenas" and the 190000 reward of "Sean ghoust". The leader of mady. The leader of the alliance of "up to heaven and up to heaven" was rewarded. The leader of "the ninth master of Buddhism".

I'm very grateful to you for your wrong love. I'll repay you.

In addition, for Xu Bai whoring weak ask: big guys are reward me, or reward little mare?
