But Wei Shuyu, who has always been honest and honest, also came to the door a little embarrassed to pay 10,000 yuan, which surprised me, I naturally know this guy's family situation, although I dare not say that the family has no money to spare, but this guy is like his father, too incorruptible, if I take out a thousand to run I may still believe it, but 10,000 yuan, I even suspect that this guy is obsessed, and he also went to learn how to be corrupt and pervert the law, and only after asking did he know that the money was given to him by his mother-in-law.

"Hahaha, Brother Shuyu, you said it earlier, so that the younger brother was worried here for a long time, for fear that we, the iron-faced and selfless brother, would actually do other things." I patted the table and pointed at the red-faced Wei Shuyu and laughed. Because of the relationship between my father and Uncle Wei, coupled with the frequent contacts over the years, the relationship with Wei Shuyu, although not as good as my own brothers, is also very harmonious, at least I don't need to be as nerve-wracking as dealing with the half-dozen youth version of Uncle Cheng.

Sure enough, Uncle Wei angrily kicked me and scolded with a smile: "You guy, you think about some crooked things all day long, don't you just allow you to have money, and don't allow others to get rich?" ”

"How can it, hehe, the little brother just feels happy, by the way, Brother Shuyu, don't forget, you are also a shareholder, I'm afraid that after the New Year, Your Majesty will announce it, when the time comes, you take this note, go directly to the head office to get the shareholder certificate, and then I will say hello to them first, well, you don't need to fight, Chang'an, who doesn't know your Wei Qiangxiang!" I smiled at Wei Shuyu.

Wei Shuyu glanced at me: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, by the way, I heard that your family is pregnant again?" ”

"Well, that's of course, hehe, what's the matter, do you need my little brother to teach you two tricks?" I squeezed my eyebrows at Wei Shuyu and said. Good things will always be happy, Li Shu is pregnant again, and Chan'er is also secretly knotted, well, listen to Wan'er, these Ling'er also don't think about tea and dinner, and feel nauseated in the morning, it seems that this son's ability is better than in the past, or it should be said that this son belongs to the outbreak type of player, if you don't come, you will come with a string.

My mother is so happy that I can't find the north, and my sister-in-law is also pregnant with a baby soon, and we have three pot-bellied women here, and it's strange that my mother is not happy, and I always hope to see the children spread out, well, the old man has begun to specialize in the study of "Shuowen Jiezi", the first dictionary in the history of our country. I'm going to continue naming the babies.,It seems that if Ben Gongzi thinks about such an addiction, he can only wait until my grandchildren.。

------------------------------------------------ "I'm not as anxious as you, besides, I'm no worse than you as a brother, by the way, what did your wife say to my mother-in-law?" Why did the two women talk so much, from the moment they just said it to now, it has been more than an hour. Wei Shuyu took a sip of wine and tilted his head into the distance, I turned my head to look, the two sisters were smiling sweetly, I don't know what they were muttering, Li Shu put his hand on his lower abdomen, it's only been two months, this girl ...... I just like to put it on a show.

"Ignore them, what good things can be, let's talk about ours." I raised my glass at Wei Shuyu. Wei Shuyu nodded, and just picked up the cup, when he suddenly remembered something, he looked up and said to me: "Brother Jun, have you heard?" Kong Lao's sacrificial wine has been presented to His Majesty. ”

Hearing Wei Shuyu's words, I couldn't help laughing: "What's this, from two years ago to this time, this old man Kong has been on the table for ten times, I'm afraid there are seven or eight times, which time was not rejected by His Majesty." ”

"This time, His Majesty did not reject it, but stayed in the middle and did not send it." Wei Shuyu is very meaningful. This can't help but make me stunned: "No, isn't it Your ......Majesty?"

Seeing my expression, Wei Shuyu couldn't help laughing: "Where do you want to go, do you think Your Majesty seems to be a person who gave up halfway?" Hehe, it's just that in the past few years, this Master Kong has tossed enough for this imperial examination reform, and there are so many people who have offended him that he will not be able to endure it. When Wei Shuyu said this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

I also nodded, to be honest, I still have a lot of respect for this old man Kong, although this old man always likes to come to me, but he is not rude, he acts according to his mode of thinking, or should it be said that the conflict between him and me is a conflict of concepts, as well as the persistence of academic concepts. This old man is probably seventy-four or seventy-five this year, and he is several years older than my old man.

The Tang imperial examination system, this old man Kong can also do it, and he has implemented the reform of the imperial examination system vigorously, and now the Tang Dynasty can not say that there are no people who criticize the imperial examination system, but compared to a few years ago, it is already very few, besides, what people are attacking today is only the power of implementation, not the system itself, that is to say, after several years of practice, this system has indeed been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in actual use, there are no obvious drawbacks.

Nonsense, these reform systems, but later generations have been used until the imperial examination system disappears, I dare not say that it is the best, at least the most applicable, besides, the scholars are no longer as deaf to the outside of the window as before, and only read the books of the sages, in that case, they will not even be able to pass the first level.

Because today's exams will always involve the livelihood of the local people, as well as the actions of local officials, they must see with their eyes and listen with their ears, so that they can also understand the lives of the people and lay certain basic knowledge for their future work.

"Yes, Master Kong's achievements in the past few years can be regarded as obvious to all, this point, even if it is a junior brother, he has to say the last word, if there is no him, I am afraid that the reform of our imperial examination system in Datang, I don't know how many years it will drag on." After all, with the prestige of this old man in the eyes of scholars, he is really unmatched. I also gave a thumbs up and said.

"Well, yes, this old man can be regarded as a successful retirement, by the way, brother, I heard the news, Your Majesty is ready to let Linghu Dedi take over as the country's chief priest." Wei Shuyu took a sip of wine, smashed his mouth beautifully, picked up a piece of fat but not greasy elbow meat and threw it into his mouth to enjoy.

"Linghu Dedi?" I couldn't help but be stunned, I don't know this guy, but it doesn't prevent me from not knowing his deeds, this guy was also born in a family of eunuchs, his grandfather Linghu was the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father Linghu Xi was the doctor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the general of Yitong.

As for him, he was formerly in the secretary of the Great Caprice Mansion, and later moved to the housekeeper, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Taichangqing, and also used to be a bachelor in the Hongwen Pavilion and the Chongxian Pavilion, but this old guy did not teach me. As for where I learned about his deeds, it is a coincidence that my father was once ordered by Uncle Li to revise the history books, and this Linghu Lord was also ordered to revise the history books, and he and the secretary at the time, Lang Cen, majored in the "Book of Zhou", which recorded the history of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

------------------------------------------------However, the edicts of the Northern Zhou Dynasty mostly imitated the pre-Qin style, and the Book of Zhou was recorded truthfully. However, the narrative in the book is often too elegant, flashy and untrue, and cannot properly reflect the atmosphere of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time, that is to say, this brother is indeed talented, but it is a little vain, the old man has mentioned this brother more than once when he instilled these histories in me, and criticized it as a negative teaching material, of course, he said it privately at home, and this kind of thing cannot be said nonsense.

So I remembered this guy, after all, in later generations, we only knew the surname Linghu, or the Linghu Chong I knew from Master Jin's "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

"Let this Linghu Lord be the priest of the country? Your Majesty, this old man is not young, and his prestige is ...... How can you use him? I rubbed my chin, confused. Wei Shuyu shook his head: "How do I know, this matter is still being discussed anyway, but I believe that the change should not be, come to think of it, this Lord Linghu is just a transitional candidate, otherwise, Your Majesty will definitely choose someone else, don't talk about you, even if you are a brother, I am not optimistic about this person." ”

"Oh, brother, you have a point, it's very likely that Your Majesty is here to pave the way for others, otherwise, you wouldn't have done this." I nodded, agreeing with Wei Shuyu's statement. The brothers ate and drank, and chatted for a long time, and then Wei Shuyu took his mother-in-law, Princess Hengshan, out with a full sigh.

Fang Zi said goodbye to these two, and saw my father swaying and riding horses from a distance, I subconsciously raised my eyes, only to notice that the sun had hung in the west, obediently, a meal, I drank from noon to dinner time, it seems that Wei Shuyu has a lot of words, I think at the beginning, I always thought that this Wei family son was an old-fashioned person, and after getting along for a long time, I knew that in addition to admitting death in the major rights and wrongs, there are also a lot of smart people. A mouth can also be said to be tight, otherwise, Princess Hengshan would not be sweet all day long, and she looks very happy.

"The child has seen his father." I waited at the gate of the house and graciously took the reins of the old man's hand. "Well, the old man saw Uncle Yuxian's nephew and Princess Hengshan, why didn't he leave anyone for dinner?" The old man threw the horsewhip to the general behind him, turned his head and gave me a blank look.
