There was a lot of quarrel in the Chongwen Pavilion, and the officials didn't dare to go in, and after a while, they saw Cheng Yang's surname come out with his sleeves brushed up, and scolded in his mouth: "Tang Yan, do you really think others don't know what you're doing?" I'm not going to take a break, so let's see you in the court. ”

As he spoke, he almost collided with the officials, and said angrily: "What are you looking at? Come, prepare a sedan chair for me, and go to the Ministry of Rites. ”

Tang Yan also chased him out and sneered loudly: "What did I do? Do you become a raised surname and read books for so many years? When I got to the Ministry of Rites, I wasn't afraid. ”

Cheng Yang's surname is going to the Ministry of Rites to complain, how can Tang Yan be frightened, now the matter is no longer Shen Ao's problem, not only involves the future of Guozijian, but also touches Tang Yan's majesty.

Complain? You're going to sue, but I'm not?

Tang Yan also said to the officials of Guozijian: "Prepare the car, and we will also go to the Ministry of Rites." ”

The sky was getting dark, a carriage, a soft sedan car stopped at the mouth of the Ministry of Rites, two sacrificial wines came out, both snorted coldly, and went straight into the yatang; The person sitting in the hall was a layman, and when he saw these two adults coming in angrily, he was a little confused.

Accompanied by a smile, he invited the two sacrificial wines to sit down, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Cheng Yang's surname say: "Brother Tai, you can't mediate this matter, go and invite Lord Shangshu to come, just say that I want to sue." ”

The staff outside Lang was even more at a loss, and the two members from the third grade came to vent their anger, he hadn't encountered this kind of thing yet, it seemed that Master Shangshu really had to solve it; Before he could react, he heard Tang Yan on the other side say in a loud voice: "Sue? I also want to sue you, accusing you of becoming a court official, and coming to the country to make trouble. ”

When the outsider heard this, the last bit of confidence was gone, so he said: "The two adults will calm their anger first, and I will call Lord Shangshu to come." With that, he walked away.

After a while, Yang Zhen came in with a tiger face, and the two sacrificial wines actually made a fuss, and they even made trouble in the hall, what kind of system did it become? However, although the official rank of this sacrificial wine is not high, the power is not small, and the young talents who are in charge of the whole world are very powerful.

The contradictions between Guozijian and Taixue have been around for a long time, but most of them are still secretly giving birth to some filth, but it is the first time that there has been such a trouble like today.

Seeing Yang Zhen enter the hall, Tang Yan and Cheng Yang both stood up and said, "Your Excellency, ......"

Yang Zhen snorted coldly and said, "You are the official of the imperial court, in charge of the key places of Shilin, what are you shouting here?" What kind of system has it become? ”

He sat down slowly, and his face softened: "Sit down, what is it for, why do you want to be so insulting." ”

Cheng Yang took the lead in complaining, and told the mystery of Shen Ao's identity one by one, and said: "My lord, Shen Ao is a civilian, this is infallible, since he is a civilian, he should enter Taixue to study, this is the law of the country, but Tang Daren has selfish thoughts and obstructions, and he is not angry, so he comes to the ministry to ask the adult to call the shots." ”

Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that this matter involved that Shen Ao again; Shen Ao is not in the limelight, not to mention the first test, but also dared to ask the official family for an inscription, and now he has caused two sacrificial wines to fall out of harmony.

It's just that Shen Ao's identity is closely related to Qi Guogong, so it is difficult to make a ruling.

Yang Zhen's kung fu, Tang Yan argued: "The black and white words in the document are the letter of guarantee signed by the Duke of Guo himself, this Shen Ao is the nephew of the Duke of Guo, and he is also the nephew of the noble son, could it be that Lord Cheng thinks that the Duke of Guo is cheating?" ”

This sentence hit the nail on the head, and Cheng Yang immediately understood that Tang Yan had dug a trap for himself to drill; If you admit that Guogong is fraudulent, then it is tantamount to offending Qi Guogong, although Qi Guogong is usually only in charge of some idle government affairs, but it is not easy to provoke.

He gritted his teeth, things have come to a point, is there a way out? Spelled.

Cheng Yang's surname said angrily: "The merits of the matter, you will know at a check, the law of the country is not merciful, if someone entrusts the official body to go to school, who will abide by the law of the court?" ”

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "It's just a famous prison student, and both of them are important ministers of the imperial court, why do you make such a fuss, isn't it a joke to spread it?" ”

As soon as I heard the surname of Chengyang, Lord Shangshu was in the mud, and if it goes on like this, Taixue is reasonable and can't be explained, no, since it's troublesome, it has to be understood.

So Cheng Yang's surname said: "If the adults don't check, I can only go to the official family to make a decision." ”

Tang Yan sneered: "You can't escape a single word of reason even if you reach the Heavenly Court, what's the use of you messing around?" ”

Yang Zhen said: "Don't fight, this matter will be put aside first, what is there to fight for, Guozijian and Taixue are the right-hand men of the imperial court, what do you have to fight for?" ”

Cheng Yang's surname said: "It's a matter of national law, how can you not fight, and how can you convince people if you don't get out of the way." ”

There was a stir in this hall, and it was suddenly unclear; Yang Zhen wanted to calm things down, and he didn't give up his surname, and Tang Yan made a sarcasm or two from time to time; In fact, although Guozijian and Taixue are under the Ministry of Rites, their power is not small, and they are not to be underestimated in the court.

Yang Zhen couldn't hold it back for a while, thinking that it involved Guogong, his mind was full of thoughts and mud, but as soon as his attitude was soft, the surname of Cheng Yang became even more popular.

He usually doesn't look very perverse, and provoked the surname, which is also the lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth; There is no justice here, there is a place of justice, and I can't care about the officials, so I leave a sentence that I can't stop thinking about this matter, and walk away.

Yang Zhen was ashamed and angry, but there was nothing he could do, if Taixue Sacrificial Wine came to burn jade, where could he stop it? So he said to Tang Yan: "Brother Tang, what's the harm if you take a step in this matter?" You know the surname of Cheng Daren, do you really want to make trouble to the point of being full of wind and rain? ”

Tang Yan smiled bitterly: "Lord Yang really thinks that now it's just because of a Shen Ao? ”

Yang Zhen stopped talking, he had already seen that Shen Ao was just the fuse, in the final analysis, it was still more than ten years of grievances and disputes between Taixue and Guozijian; Now taking advantage of this opportunity to explode all at once, who takes a step back, not to mention the shame of the entire school, many people in the court are only afraid and unhappy.

It's better to pretend to be confused about this matter, if you want to make trouble, let them make trouble, anyway, he Yang really can't take care of it.

Yang Zhen shook his head, then brushed his beard and said: "All the good things have been said, you don't listen, this is the only way for Lord Ben, you can do it yourself." ”

Tang Yan thought to himself: "Isn't the surname of Chengyang really going to be sparse, this is not good, you have to start first, if he is sparse, I won't be sparse?" Okay, let's go back and write the recital. ”

Thinking about it, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said goodbye.

On the second day, Zhao Ji got up early and arrived at the court meeting slowly, and his mind was still on the unfinished flower and bird paintings yesterday; In order to distinguish himself from the mysterious painter of the Qiguo Mansion, he did not sleep well for several nights, just intending to make a good painting.

Sitting quietly on the Luan chair, the chamberlain Yang Jian shouted at the top of his voice: "If there is something to do, play early, and retreat from the court if there is nothing." The shrill voice just fell, Zhao Ji thought that there were only one or two trivial things at most, and he could leave if he was dismissed at will, but who knew that the atmosphere was very tense today, and suddenly many officials said: "The minister has something to play......

Zhao Ji's eyes swept away, and he was secretly surprised, what's wrong today? There are so many people to discuss, could it be that something big has happened?

No, if it was a big event, the Forbidden Palace should have known about it last night, why didn't I have any news at all, it's too strange.

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, and said slowly with a leisurely look: "What is the matter?" ”

With this question, Zhao Ji understood that these officials and courtiers were going to play the same thing, Shen Ao, the prisoner.

A little Shen Ao caused such a big turmoil, Zhao Ji categorically couldn't have imagined; In fact, this matter is far from being a matter of Shen Ao's identity, it is related to the struggle between Guozijian and Taixue, and it is also related to the interests of many officials in the imperial court.

Which of the officials of the imperial court did not come out of these two central schools, and the alma mater was trampled on, where can they sit idly by, this is a matter of face and identity; Therefore, as soon as the two sacrificial wines were launched, the responders were like clouds, and they responded to a hundred calls, Guozijian represented Xungui, and Taixue represented Qingliu.

So, Zhao Jihu pursed his lips and was silent, but above the court, one by one courtiers came out, and said: "The matter has come to light, Shen Ao has been accepted as a nephew by the Guogong, why not be a prisoner?" He said, "If this is the case, how many nephews and nephews will be enrolled in school under such a name?" ”

Zhao Ji was already impatient, and after the noise, he said coldly: "This matter will be discussed in the long run, and the court will retreat." As he spoke, before Yang Jian could sing, he had already brushed his sleeves away.

Only a group of ministers were left looking at each other, and countless copies could not be handed over, but there were still many words unspoken.
