and total

Fortunately, Yun Heng didn't open his mouth, and Wei Liao casually pointed to a clan daughter to give him a marriage.Yun Heng was over forty years old, his first wife died early, and now he is a widower who lost his wife. After this daughter-in-law was canonized as the county head, the two of them reluctantly agreed.

In order to prepare for her marriage, this fresh and warm Yuntai county lord also lived in the palace, but happened to be the company of Princess Qinghe who was doing nothing all day long.The wedding date was set for the next year, so Yun Heng left Beijing first.He was not very disappointed in the fact that the proposed marriage was downgraded.

Wei Liao's reluctance to marry Princess Qinghe to him is not too unexpected, and the other princesses are indeed not so suitable.Everyone has relatives behind their backs and has their own intricate forces, but what he wants is nothing more than a little relationship with Wei Liao.

The county master of Yuntai was born beautiful, only 16 years old, and he had met once.

When he left, the spring was in full swing, the apricot blossoms were about to bloom, and the peaches and plums were gorgeous and beautiful, and he passed by on horseback, and sprinkled his shoulders.

The spring day is so grand and gentle, from the rice fields in Chang’an to the palace city, it’s so warm and clear, it’s unbelievable that it rained on Xiaochuanlu that day, and the cold spring invaded the whole night, making the disciples waiting in the hall shiver shrink.

The small biography was originally not a fixed rule. It was sent to the imperial court after reading the volumes. The first ten volumes were disassembled, and they were introduced by name before they were actually passed on to the palace.

This is very important to the future. After going through hardships and hardships, anyone who can be on the list will see the outcome today.The future is just beginning to emerge, and everything is about today's face-to-face.In the past, it was not without precedent that Xiao Chuanlu lost his temper and changed his ranking, so he must be cautious and strict in his manners, lest something will go wrong in front of the imperial court.

What was even more troublesome was that it was raining outside. In order to prevent the rain from getting wet on their robes, they had to come over with umbrellas and robes. Fortunately, Wei Liao ordered them to enter the hall to wait.There is this matter to deal with today, and there are no officials waiting to meet in the morning, so at this moment, they are all lucky to see the inner hall that they may be able to visit frequently in the future.

Thick carpets are spread on the floor, and fragrant flowers and herbs are displayed indoors. Other than that, everything is cheerful and transparent. There are many seats, each with a few tables, obviously for the purpose of having some places to relax while waiting.

There was a creak of the door, and a female official with light yellow jackets opened the door, and the yellow door came in to pass the order, calling names one by one.

Outside are heavy and solemn flying eaves, with far-reaching eaves and large eaves. You can also see the brackets. It is a clear and soaked deep wood color, with green glazed tiles on it. The palace, the so-called palace ban, is the center here.

Standing here, it's hard to keep these people who are determined to help the world from being excited, coupled with the nervousness of meeting the emperor, for most people, this is the first hurdle.

They had actually met Wei Liao during the palace examination, but it was different at that time, they were busy answering the papers, they didn't dare to show their atmosphere, they didn't dare to raise their heads, surrounded by light yellow veils, only the sound of passing tea soup could be heard , and indistinctly, as if a low voice came down from the sky.

Occasionally people come in and out, most of them are important officials in the court. They talked about the last conversation, and the Luocheng Hall became silent again, only the sound of brushing and brushing, and the occasional sound of inkstone bumping, and the sound of digging out the issued palace. The rustling sound of bread filling one's hunger.

The palace examination lasted almost a whole day, and Wei Liao just sat there all day. He is good at pretending to be indifferent, so even if someone raises his head to peek at him when he is handing in the paper at the end, he can only see a majestic The emperor stands tall, expressionless, dignified and serious.

Today was different, they came in one by one, and went out one by one, answering Wei Liao's questions one by one, and there was enough time for them to get acquainted with each other superficially.

The order of passing on the group is the order of the papers, so names are called from the lowest to the highest, and the first one to enter is Bai Jigeng, who has already made a name for himself.

He was 25 years old, and he was good at poetry and Fu. With a piece of "Fu of Different Colors", he opened the door of Lu Zhong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, who was the secretary of the imperial court. He has become the guest of many people in the past few months. It has become a big hit in Chunwei.

With such a reputation, even if Chun Wei failed, he was already in his prime.

Now it is said that "thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi", this age is enough to attract attention, and what's even better is that he is also praised for his beauty, appearance, kindness, and demeanor.This is rare.

Therefore, when Bai Jigeng entered the hall, Wei Liao was speaking softly: "They all said that this person looks like Qing."

Naturally, this has nothing to do with Bai Jigeng, he obediently kowtowed and gave his name, and then Wei Liao calmed down, and as soon as Bai Jigeng looked up, he saw that there was another person in the hall.It's Fu Xiru.

Thanks to the Ministry of Rites who came to look for Fu Xiru some time ago, all the candidates in this class were lucky enough to meet this Mr. Fu, but the farewell at this time was obviously beyond Bai Jigeng's expectations, not to mention that he and Wei Liao looked up at him together, and looked at him with scrutiny. He stared indifferently at the koi that was about to leap over the dragon gate, and it was weird no matter how he thought about it.

No one has ever said that Xiao Chuanlu can only have the emperor present, but even if someone should be with him, Fu Xiru is not quite right.

Thinking about what he heard when he came in, Bai Jigeng felt a line of sweat running down his back.

Fu Xiru's expression was calm, his eyes swept over him, and he smiled: "Are they talking about Rong Zhi or talent? I have read "Fu of Different Colors", it is a good article."

"Ode to Different Colors" is not long, but the writing is really amazing. It is Bai Jigeng's feelings after he arrived in Chang'an. From the writing of Chang'an's scenery to the view of the prosperous age caused by it, although it has the obvious meaning of showing off skills and eulogizing saints, but Still writing vividly and vividly, Fu Xiru praised him sincerely.

In fact, there is not much age difference between the two, but Fu Xiru naturally looks like an elder.

Wei Liao was much lazier than him, resting his stomach on one hand, and looked at Bai Jigeng's face while laughing, with obvious intentions: "Aiqing really knows how to joke, you are my humerus minister, how can anyone talk about you so contemptuously?" ?”

He paused, and spoke the second half of the sentence with Fu Xiru's knowing expression: "Besides, you both have similar looks and talents."

Bai Jigeng really didn't expect Xiao Chuanlu to be so difficult, and it was like this, it seemed that he shouldn't talk at this time, but if he didn't talk, the two people sitting above would only make it more difficult for people to interrupt, so he had to bite the bullet and fear He replied: "Your minister is vulgar and vulgar, how dare you call him similar to Mr. Fu?"

Wei Liao was silent for a while.

Fu Xiru lowered his head to look at the rice paper in his hand, and raised it lightly. Bai Jigeng found that it was his paper.

Flipping through a few pages, Fu Xiru completely ignored Wei Liao's teasing, and suggested instead: "Since Your Majesty praised him for his beauty, why not choose him as an envoy to visit the flowers? The banquet in the apricot garden will definitely be pleasing to the eye, and when the time comes, I will wait for Jinshi Bai to serve as the envoy." Your Majesty has found the best flowers for this spring."

Wei Liao gave him a meaningful look.

Being selected as a flower tour envoy, in fact, except for the attention of the emperor, it can't mean anything, especially in this situation, when his quota is set, at least Bai Jigeng himself knows that this is not Wei Liao's preference.

Fu Xiru sighed, and put down the paper in his hand: "Is there any better candidate, His Majesty?"

Wei Liao shook his head, deliberately pampering him in every possible way: "You have the final say."

If this was not a solemn official matter, Bai Jigeng guessed that Fu Xiru's expression would be even uglier.However, the matter of choosing him as one of the two flower testers was settled in this way. It was not until he went out in a daze that he realized that he still didn't know what ranking he would get.Tanhualang did not conflict with the number one scholar, but just now in the hall, neither Fu Xiru nor Wei Liao mentioned this matter, so he was naturally still confused.

Xiao Chuanlu is far simpler than he thought, but it is more dangerous.

In Fu Xiru's capacity, accompanying Wei Liao's biography, he had already proved something, not to mention talking about his appearance when he came up, revealing a dangerous and jealous atmosphere.

Bai Jigeng didn't want to compare the solemn affairs of the court to the affairs of the women in the harem, but right now he also had to think about it.What he was worried about was not whether Wei Liao would have a plot against him, but that he would have to get involved in Wei Liao's most secret affairs without knowing it.

A person's love affairs should not disturb the situation, but Wei Liao's can.Bai Jigeng was not stupid, he could smell the unusual atmosphere in the hall today, and there was not much he could do in it.At the beginning, being said to be similar to Fu Xiru was indeed a compliment, but now it has become a trouble.

Bai Jigeng's background is not low. His seventh patriarch, Chahan, was one of the heroes in the founding of the country. He was given the surname Bai. Most of his clan settled in the middle of Sichuan. He has a famous name, but it is not very rare in Chang'an. It is very important for his future career. It is also doomed to be icing on the cake, but not against trouble.Even if Lu Zhong appreciates him very much, he can only walk this road by himself.

Anyone should have this kind of understanding, apart from the matter of eating the emperor's salary and loyalty to the emperor, it is best not to ask too much, and don't know. However, he seems to be unlucky on the first day, which broke this rules.

It's not good for a courtier to talk about the emperor, not to mention that Bai Jigeng didn't know much, and he couldn't start talking, he just felt at a loss and tired.

He didn't have much to say to Fu Xiru, the behavior of the other party was in line with the norm, and he was so restrained that nothing could be seen. The so-called gentleman is like jade, which is his expression as immobile as a mountain.

Bai Jigeng suddenly had a hope in his private heart, pinning it on Fu Xiru, no matter what the problem was, he'd better solve it as soon as possible, do good deeds, and at least let him retreat from this dangerous situation.

Xiao Chuanlu wanted to meet a total of twenty people, and when this was done, it was almost noon, and Fu Xiru sorted out the unpacked test papers by himself.It's not easy to leave this matter to others, the Ministry of Rites has always sent a doctor to deliver it, and it is logical that Fu Xiru shouldn't even let Fu Xiru handle it, let alone a palace official.

Wei Liao pressed one of his hands, leaned over and said in a low voice, "But Bai Jigeng's words are right."

Fu Xiru looked at him tolerantly.

"How can he compare to you."

The author has something to say

Candidate Bai, who was frightened by the roller coaster: In his heart: Did you ask me to come in to see you two show your affection?

A well-known Mr. Pei: Xiaobai, if I don't get cueed in the future, I will rely on you! (happy jpg)

A famous government official surnamed Fu: Stop using me as a secretary! ! !

Xiao Chuanlu is equivalent to meeting the top-ranked candidates before announcing the ranking of the exam, which may lead to a change in the ranking, but if there is no fatal problem, it should be like this.By the way, the ancient imperial examinations were subject to political review. After all, after passing it, you will be appointed by the imperial court, so the situation where there is a wife in the family but you don’t say that you marry the princess or the prime minister’s daughter... It should be very difficult to happen. This kind of review is meticulous.
