Lu Yijian is too dark-bellied.

Zheng Lang used some careful thinking, it would not be as he thought. I don't have a provincial yuan, my two uncles are in high school, not many people pay attention to it, I won the provincial yuan, and my two uncles are in high school again, which is very dazzling. Otherwise, why did the Ministry of Rites tell the story of Zhang Dexiang? It's just that I'm afraid of arousing doubts and producing some bad things.

However, the two uncles are real, and if they don't want people to know, unless they do nothing, with the surnames of the two uncles, they don't want to keep the secret. It's better to tell the truth earlier, so that I can still be frank and lenient, and I can recognize and correct my mistakes after making mistakes. Otherwise, if the matter is leaked in the future, it may become a stain on your life, not so serious, but someone will infinitely magnify this small flaw and put it into a big ink stain.

Don't want to leave a hidden danger behind, that's all!

Can his surname think of what is in Lu Yijian's stomach? The little emperor said that he was stupid, but he was also in it, this move may not be stupid, but sometimes, Zheng Lang is easily obsessed with one thing, which can also be called a kind of obsession.

I didn't expect to see a miraculous effect. The admiration in the eyes of several bigwigs is even stronger, and they are not very harmonious with each other, but they are very good to Zheng Lang, there is no threat, why eat vinegar for a lifetime? Therefore, it is very fair to look at Zheng Lang.

The little emperor sighed for a long time.

thinks that Zheng Lang is sincere, such a gentleman, there are really not many.

The two eldest brothers are not so stupid, but on this occasion, the nervous reaction is a little slow, the little emperor was stupid, but he didn't hear it, the eldest brother bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, at that time, the provincial yuan also said that this is not the right way, and the study is important." He himself disdained it, but he took pity on us many times and clicked it, but he was very unhappy. ”

Anyway, I have to keep my brother-in-law.

The third uncle also bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, we also made a mistake, and later not only inquired about the personality of Bachelor Zhang, but also inquired about the personality of several other examiners. Please Your Majesty punish, it really has nothing to do with the provincial yuan. ”

Zhao Zhen made them so angry that they couldn't cry or laugh, I didn't pursue you, you guys are good, all the 1510 poured out. Fortunately, you didn't commit any crimes, otherwise you wouldn't have had to be tried, and you would have recruited all of them. The expression on his face didn't know whether he was smiling or depressed, and said, "You guys are really a ...... Faithful ones, arise. ”

The two uncles stood up, shrugged their heads, and hung their hands together, like children who had made a mistake, Zhao Zhen couldn't bear it, and said, "Zheng Xingyuan, you go back." ”

Looking at them like this little three, I want to laugh, that's not good.

Zheng Lang took the two uncles out.

Zhao Zhen finally couldn't help laughing and said, "These two ......"

After laughing, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The two sons are very loyal, the imperial examination is only a way to elect officials, it is better to have both talent and morality, talent is only a part of the talent, and there is also the talent of the officials, these two sons are also a kind of loyalty and honesty." Li Di's surname is Gwen Hou, and he made a pertinent evaluation.

"What Zheng Jiazi said seems to have some truth, they may not be suitable for serving as important bureaucrats, but serving as a small official does have some possibilities for benefiting the people." Zhao Zhen said.

Therefore, Lu Yijian said that Zheng Lang was very cunning, this confession is not a bad thing, and the master also said that he is not afraid of mistakes, and it is the virtue of a gentleman to be able to correct mistakes. Zheng Lang's words not only added points to himself in the hearts of His Majesty and several bigwigs, but also may have pulled the two uncles. Otherwise, they were lucky enough to pass the provincial test, can they pass the palace test? With His Majesty's evaluation, don't think about Jinshi, but you can have it with Jinshi.

After this trouble, the little emperor was in a good mood and asked, "What do you think of the Zheng family?" ”

"It's just a trivial matter, this son is soft-hearted, the second son of the Cui family has not been hit many times, and he is related, so he just gave a little advice. What is more difficult is to be open-minded and know that mistakes can be changed. Cai Qi said.

In Zhao Zhen's heart, it is not Zheng Jiazi who is soft-hearted, his mothers are also soft-hearted, and Zheng Jiazi's talent is still used to figure out the examiner's test questions?

Lu Yijian echoed: "It's indeed a small section, where did the minister's dog go to him yesterday, and he said the mean." ”

Regarding this matter, Li Di and others looked down on Lu Yijian, and they did a little shamelessly. But Zhao Zhen is happy, the ministers are good, do practical things without making noise, and the country will be peaceful. Moreover, with the ambitions of Lu Yijian and Zheng Lang, they will never be able to get together. Curiously asked, "How does he say the mean?" ”

"He said that the middle is not a mediocre way, but a kind of morality that accommodates the yin and yang of the heavens, the softness of the earth, and the benevolence and righteousness of the people, and makes it widely used by the people."

The golden mean does his, and saying it is just to add to the cake.

In this analysis, what has become of the mean?

Although he knew that Zheng Lang was very ambitious about Confucianism, several bigwigs took a breath of cold air.

Lu Yijian said again: "Because he is ambitious, every time he delves into the words of the sage, he cleans himself, so if he is wrong, he is wrong, His Majesty does not ask, it is possible that he will say it later." ”

"Seemingly......" Zhao Zhen sighed again.

Why else would you say it? If you don't say it, how can anyone know? This is not to say, it is a strict requirement for itself. Thinking of this, he thought of his adoptive mother Liu E again, and he couldn't say that his adoptive mother was bad. Although it is a little smaller, it is worth it with its moral, talent, and political vision. He sighed for a long time. The rest of the bigwigs are even more so, if they don't admit it, they can't do it, and ask themselves if they can do it if they can change to Zheng Jiazi? I just clicked on my relatives, what's the big deal, and I actually said it solemnly, which really made people speechless.

Li Di rarely agreed with Lu Yijian's thoughts, and said: "This son is impeccable. ”

unanimously passed, although Zheng Lang made a mistake, it was a small mistake, but the attitude was to be obtained. Lu Yijian talked about the matter and said: "This is what Zheng Jiazi said, but it seems that he has very few students, and he is not the only one who has used it. I just don't say it, I didn't know before. But to a greater or lesser extent, it hindered the fairness of the imperial examination. ”

"Lu Xianggong is right, but this move is not easy to correct," Zhao Zhen said. Always send the examiner, this is not a trivial matter, you can't sneak the examiner into the Gongyuan, that's how to do it, but also keep it secret, when the scientific examination is carried out, the examiner has to come out to hold the ceremony, the students can still see, can see it can temporarily figure out the examiner's favorite. There is no solution.

"Your Majesty, it's not difficult, as long as the examiners have different surnames and ask their own questions, this drawback will be resolved naturally."

"Good idea." Zhao Zhen said, of course, no matter how good the idea is, it will be the next one, and this one can't overturn it and start over.

After inserting flowers for a while, I discussed state affairs again.

The two uncles didn't know and walked out, and the eldest brother asked puzzled and worried: "Brother-in-law, why do you want to say it?" ”

"If I don't say it, won't you say it?"

"How can we say that?"

"Don't worry, don't think so much, remember, your real surname is a loyal person, do more loyal things, and you may not have no future in the future. Just like when you write articles, if you blindly give up your own surname and pursue flashy and glamorous, your articles may not be well written. On the contrary, if you write with simplicity, you can win the examiner's eyes. Writing articles, doing things, it's the same. Stealing opportunities is not what you are good at, if you delve into it, it is sacrificing the basics. The reason Zheng Lang doesn't want to say, and he doesn't need to say it.

"But, but."

"Big brother, no, and as long as you don't do too badly in this palace exam, you will have about the same jinshi."

"Why is that?"

"Your Majesty was praising you just now." No matter how boastful, I don't expect the two eldest brothers to be admitted to the Jinshi, there are too many talents in the Song Dynasty, and the two eldest brothers can be mediocre, and the same Jinshi, this is an opportunity. Without this summons, most of them would have been brushed down during the temple exam.

Speaking of this, the two uncles gradually understood, and their faces showed joy. Then he looked at Zheng Lang and didn't know how to thank him.

The three of them walked back slowly, the spring is bright, everything is recovering, the Huaiyang on both sides of the royal street spit out new green, occasionally you can see one or two peach blossoms, the flowers are not open, and the buds are about to bloom, but there are large bushes of spring plums blooming purple and red, bursts of spring breeze blowing, and the fragrance hits people.

Zheng Lang wandered around the capital many times, and finally some people recognized him, and enthusiastically said: "Congratulations to Zheng Shengyuan." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," said that, the footsteps did not stop, he was a human, not a monkey, and the more people greeted him, the faster he had to go.

But no matter how fast he goes, many years of home, or a little more elegant, has raised two lifetimes of qi, surnamed Gwentun, and a little more elegant, the surname Gwen is like jade, and his bearing is serene, so every step out gives people a feeling of calmness.

Aura will also give a person extra points.

The three of them walked together, the two Langs of the Cui family looked very good, and the three Langs were the best, but Zheng Lang stole their limelight, and his gentle attitude made the people praise them all the way.

Spring is a good time to come out, and there are many little ladies on the street who come out to shop. When I saw Zheng Lang back then, my apricot eyes flew sideways, and when I looked at Zheng Lang at this time, my demeanor was even different. Some little ladies looked at Zheng Lang's round face, with a dignified and easy-going look, and their bodies were about to soften.

Zheng Lang looked at the expressions of these little girls, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at them, for fear that they would do something bad. I thought to myself, yes, let's get married early. I don't like this kind of look.

All the way through, he didn't pay attention. There was a young girl in the crowd who was wearing a short spring shirt and had a heroic face who also stared at them with her eyes, and then her face turned red. The little girl was anxious and said, "Little lady, that's not good, people are engaged." ”

"What do you say?"

The little maid didn't dare to speak, and said in her heart, it is clear that you are looking at them and are moved by the spring love.

…… Years of solitude have made people more curious about Zheng Lang, but also more strange and distant. Look at Ouyang Xiu's visit yesterday, hesitating again and again, let alone others. There is only one benefit, there is quietness, otherwise if you change to someone else, you must be in the market at this time, so that Zheng Lang will be disturbed.

Zhi Yue once said about him: "Little donor, you are not a plum blossom, but you are also a dark orchid, although it blooms in Meng Chun, it likes to bloom through the valley." ”

Pour also in.

is also the reason why Zhiyue likes him, but Zhiyue knows better in his heart that this orchid is blooming too dazzling, and sooner or later it will be taken to the city. That is, what he said was vulgar.

Many students want to get close, but they are afraid of difficulties and dare not come to visit. So Zheng Lang quietly moved his luggage to Yanji Inn.

Ignoring the busyness in the store, the fat shopkeeper beckoned all the guys out and said, "The provincial prince is here, help quickly, and everyone will move the luggage together." ”

"Yan shopkeeper, don't, what's the public." Zheng Lang is a little dizzy, we are still young, only seventeen years old, you want to curse me.

Shopkeeper Yan nodded, then rubbed his hands, excited, I didn't know what to say, just a smile on a fat face. Or Zheng Lang reminded: "What about your grandson?" ”

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the provincial test ranking is not the same as the palace test ranking, but there is not much difference, as long as the provincial yuan is won, most of them are the top three and the like, non-yuan is the list or flower, there are exceptions, but it will not slip to the top ten. Yes, there are only a few cases where the position was deliberately slipped a little further in order to avoid suspicion. There are no high-ranking officials in the court, and there are no noble relatives, how can they avoid it? This student is settled, and I want to take a look.

"Whoa." The shopkeeper Yan's pair of eyes narrowed into a line with a quick smile, Zheng Lang didn't care about him, there were still many students living in the inn, most of the students fell off the list, but before the list was released, almost none of them left the capital, and many students poured out, so they immediately returned the salute to the students who greeted them, and then went into the backyard.

Zheng Lang has a gentle attitude, but he is not close to the living, but it does not mean that these students are afraid of the strict shopkeeper. One by one, they came up to congratulate, this is the one who stayed in the Zheng family to see the grandson of the Yan shopkeeper, it is not easy, what kind of students are the students, two bold super geniuses, Lu Xianggong's prodigy son! Shopkeeper Yan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and said, "Tongxi, Tongxi, I will free everyone's money for dinner tonight." ”

I was so happy that I couldn't express my words, so I invited a treat.

Only then did he bring the little grandson to the backyard, and when he met, he honestly gave a big gift and said, "I've seen the provincial yuan." ”

The two little curious revolved around this little fat man, having heard of it and seeing it for the first time.

"Don't scare people," Zheng Lang drank them away, this little fat man doesn't have the courage of the second child, and his talent is a little worse, but he reads very hard, and he is also very honest. As long as he is an honest person, Zheng Lang likes it, including Lu Gong's writings. As for Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, there is no way.

"Come, sit down."

"Whoa."

Zheng Lang asked about his studies for a while, and stayed with Wang Anshi and Sima Guang all day long, including the several visits of Lu Gongshu, and the qualifications of the Yan family Xiaolang were far behind. However, Zheng Lang is also patient, those three little third sons can't be counted, and there won't be many in the entire Song Dynasty. But fortunately, I worked very hard here, and I asked, and my studies were okay. Then he asked, "The palace test will begin soon." ”

"Whoa."

"You don't have to be restrained."

"Whoa."

Zheng Lang looked at the little fat man and began to scratch his head, he did not reject the surname of the little fat man, but think about the trickiness of the second child, fortunately, Lu Yijian sent the smartest and most honest son of his family over, and rushed it, otherwise the little fat man and the second child would definitely be out of place. To put it mildly, "Don't be afraid. ”

He said that he was not afraid, but he was not afraid? As he became more and more famous, he was even under the second yuan, the first yuan was convinced, and the second yuan was suppressed by the examiner, but he was not suppressed, and he had much influence among the people. The little fat man has met Zheng Lang many times, but the restraint in his heart is even heavier.

"Whoa."

Zheng Lang scratched his head again, take your time, it will be better to stay together for a long time in the future, if you really have this attitude, it may not be beneficial to him if you follow yourself, and said: "Once I get ...... again"

"The provincial yuan will definitely be won again."

This doesn't need to raise the bar, others can fall to the top, if the province falls to the top, isn't it a joke? is the top 10 on the list, and none of them will fall behind. Zheng Lang said: "No matter, if I go to a distant place to serve, will you go with me?" ”

"In my later life, I was afraid that I would be stupid and stain the provincial yuan."

"Stupid birds fly first, there are people in history who are not late bloomers, their qualifications are not very good, they can use kung fu, and finally all become a generation of heroes. Besides, your qualifications are not very bad. ”

"If the provincial yuan is not too late to be stupid, the late born is willing to go with the provincial yuan."

"That's good." Zheng Lang nodded, no matter which little third son, they will be released in the next two scientific expeditions, and they will fly solo in the future. But this son thinks that the next two high schools will probably not be able to, and he may be with him for a long time, less than 20 years old, and he will not want to participate in the scientific examination. It's not a scientific examination, there is also the truth of being a man, and the simple way of being an official must be slowly cultivated and taught.

"Go ahead."

"Whoa."

Watching his chubby figure leave, Jiang Xing'er said with a smile: "What a good silkworm baby." ”

Zheng Lang couldn't help laughing, although the metaphor is not very good, but it is very appropriate, sometimes seeing the quiet and obedient fat appearance of the Sun family Xiaolang is very much like a chubby little fat white silkworm lying on a mulberry leaf. Jiang Xing'er joked and arranged Zheng Lang's luggage with Si'er.

Sometimes Zheng Lang is very satisfied, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for? If you want to eat, with your own family background, what you can't afford to eat, what you want to wear, the huge workshop and shop at home, what clothes you can't wear, and if you want money, it's enough, although you can't compare with the top rich in the Song Dynasty, you can also live a prosperous life. To be famous, to have a reputation. If you want status, you will have a status immediately. In addition to learning, what else do you need to pursue? Take a look, don't even pack a bag yourself.

sat down to read the book, but soon after, the shopkeeper Yan walked in again and said, "Juyang Jinshi Zhang Andao asks to see him." ”

Then he looked at Zheng Lang apologetically, ordinary moves can still block it, this Zhang Fangping just ranked fourth in high school, and his future is limitless, so he doesn't dare to stop it. Zheng Lang waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Yan, you don't need this expression, let him in." ”

After a while, the shopkeeper Yan brought Zhang Fangping in, and when the shopkeeper Yan left, Zhang Fangping said: "I also want to thank the provincial yuan this time." ”

"Why did Brother Andao say this?"

Zhang Fangping smiled bitterly and said: "This time, several examiners made a mistake and chose nine papers, one of which was in the top ten. ”

Zheng Lang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "Then you don't have to thank me, but I admire Brother Andao's arrogance, with the rank of Jun, the palace exam will definitely be high school, and he will become a court official in the future." Eat the king's luck, and be loyal to the king. ”

"Exactly."

Cai Qi said that Zheng Lang has the demeanor of an ancient scholar, which is a bit mysterious, but this Zhang Fangping has the demeanor of some chivalrous people in ancient times, and he is bold and upright, which also makes Zheng Lang very admirable. And both of them are a little arrogant in their bones, so the more they talk, the more speculative they become.

There were also people talking on the other side, Wang De returned home after taking off duty, and the little granddaughter greeted him and shouted affectionately: "Weng Weng." ”

"Qin'er, be good." Seeing the juniors, Wang De smiled with that big black face.

"Weng Weng, the child has something to ask Weng Weng."

"Say it."

"The child saw Zhengzhou's new provincial yuan on the street today, and ...... with two uncles," Wang Deyong's granddaughter dragged the corner of Wang Deyong's clothes, and said coquettishly.

"They were summoned by His Majesty to ask about one thing...... Why do you ask this? Wang Deyong suddenly became vigilant.

"The child listens to the folk proverb that catches a son-in-law ...... the list"

"Qin'er, don't, Zheng Jiazi is not easy to catch," Wang De immediately jumped up with the blue tendons on his big black face, the little granddaughter was whimsical, there are people who catch sons-in-law under the list, up to ministers, down to rich people, although they are not forcibly arrested, but those kinds of means are used, and there is no difference between catching them. But can Zheng Jiazi be caught? You can't be the prime minister yourself!
