As a strong and domineering monarch, if he wanted to make Yang Guang take back his life just by virtue of persuasion, then the canal would not be dug, the three expeditions to Goryeo would not happen, and the Great Sui would not lose the country, and what would happen to the Li family?

It is precisely because Yang Guangqiang is domineering and almost stubborn and self-serving, so it caused all kinds of consequences later.

But now it seems that things are not what Zhang Bairen thinks, and Yang Guang has a reason to do it.

If Confucianism can be wooed, at least the urgent need can be postponed.

The ministers' three admonitions were unsuccessful, and everyone discussed in private, gathering outside the imperial city one by one to face the north wind and smile bitterly.

Dr. Wen felt that something was wrong with him, not only was it not good, it was simply bad.

The implementation of the imperial examination is digging the lifeblood of the gate valve family, how can the gate valve family give up?

Everyone knows that Doctor Wen is just a chess piece, but everyone doesn't dare to play chess, so they can only find a way to turn the chess piece into a dead chess.

The Wen family

Dr. Wen sat on a wicker chair, his eyes looking at the courtyard in the distance, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

"Master, but what didn't go well?" Mrs. Wen slowly walked to Dr. Wen's side.

"Recently, the imperial city has been full of storms, you should have heard of it," Dr. Wen looked at the pillow person beside him.

"Is it a matter of the imperial examination? The opening of the imperial examination is a feat for the ages, and His Majesty handed over this matter to the master, obviously taking a fancy to the master" Mrs. Wen smiled: "The opening of the imperial examination is successful, not to mention the fact that the master will be added to the official and become a knight, and even more can go down in history." ”

"What do women know!" Doctor Wen snorted coldly: "There are so many things that you, a woman, understand, this matter is too prickly, Your Majesty put me on the fire to roast!"

Mrs. Wen twisted Old Man Wen's ear: "You dare to look down on me!"

"Oh, Madame, let go, let go, let go, don't dare anymore, don't dare again!" Dr. Wen grinned.

"Father, mother, what are you doing?" A round head poked out of the door, and a four or five-year-old boy stared at the couple with wide eyes.

Mrs. Wen immediately let go when she heard this, and Master Wen's face became serious for a moment: "My father's ears are itchy, ask your mother to scratch me, what are you doing here without studying." ”

"Dad, Xiao Yang outside the door told me to go out to play" The child grimaced.

"Don't go out to play until you've finished your homework!" Dr. Wen scolded, and the toddler immediately turned around and ran out, leaving behind a laugh.

"Master, Wei Yunqi is asking to see you outside!" came the voice of the doorman.

"Wei Yunqi, what is this old guy doing? Invite him in, this guy is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he can't be offended" Dr. Wen immediately stood up and went out to greet him.

"Doctor Wen, this official took the liberty to come, my lord won't mind" Wei Yun got up and put on civilian clothes and walked into the lobby of the Wen Mansion.

"What did Master Wei say, Lord Wei can come to the cold house, it's just a puffy glow" Dr. Wen's eyes were full of smiles.

Wei Yunqi smiled, and the two sides sat down, and only then did Doctor Wen speak: "Lord Wei has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I don't know what your lordship commands?"

"It's not me who commanded it, it's His Majesty who told you, you must be careful in doing things, don't make a mistake, you must know how many people outside are watching it, there is a big mistake in the canal, which caused my Great Sui dragon qi to vent, and now the only way to break the situation can be thought of is to open the imperial examination, with the help of the power of Confucianism to suppress my Great Sui fortune, Doctor Wen has a long way to go" Wei Yunqi's face was heavy.

Doctor Wen was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't the canal?

"Dr. Wen is not a cultivator, you don't know many things, you only know that the imperial examination is related to the fortune of the Great Sui State, if the imperial examination is successful, then my Great Sui Kingdom will be peaceful for decades, Your Majesty has enough time to reverse the situation and break the predicament, if the imperial examination fails......" Wei Yunqi looked at Dr. Wen: "The consequences are unpredictable." ”

The consequences are indeed unpredictable!

Doctor Wen's face was heavy when he heard this, and Wei Yunqi slowly stood up: "My lord is an old minister valued by the first emperor, although we have eloquence talents, but we lack a view of the overall situation, there are few people in the Manchu Dynasty who are suitable for the implementation of the imperial examination, and my lord is one of them." ”

Doctor Wen fell into deep thought, and by the time he came back to his senses, Wei Yunqi had already walked away.

"It's difficult!" Dr. Wen rubbed his eyebrows.

"My lord, the Yellow Gate squire Pei Ju has arrived" Wei Yunqi just left with his front foot, and Pei Ju with his back foot arrived.

"Master Pei has arrived?" Dr. Wen was stunned.

At this time, the election of Cao Qigui is unspeakable, and he controls the official positions of everyone in the world to be promoted, Pei Ju, as one of the Cao Qigui, if he makes a little stumbling at will, it is enough for Dr. Wen to not be able to eat and walk around.

"Pei Ju is Hedong's favorite Pei family, and he can be regarded as the backbone of the gate valve, what is he doing here?" Doctor Wen smiled bitterly: "I know that these gate valve families will definitely not stop." ”

While speaking, Dr. Wen walked out of the hall to greet him, and saw Pei Ju standing at the door with a smile on his face, just like Wei Yunqi before, all dressed in casual clothes.

"I've seen my lord," Dr. Wen hurriedly saluted.

"Lord Wen is exempt, this official is here to inform me of something this time," Pei Ju said unhurriedly.

"Adult, please"

The two walked into the hall and sat down, only to see Pei Ju and say, "Doctor Wen, how do you know that you are already in a catastrophe?"

Doctor Wen shuddered, and the tea in his hand almost spilled: "Please also give me advice." ”

"The imperial examination can't be carried out, and someone is already ready to attack the adult" Pei Ju's face was solemn: "If I am Lord Wen, I will hurry into the palace to find Your Majesty for protection." ”

"It's not that serious, the lower officials are also the officials who have entered the rank, everyone knows that I am just a chess piece in the hands of His Majesty, who will embarrass me?" Doctor Wen smiled dryly, laughing more ugly than crying.

"The Gate Valve Family wants to deal with you, do you need a reason?" Pei Ju said unhurriedly.

"Master Pei, didn't you hear any rumors?" said Dr. Wen with a pale face.

Although I was born in Hedong Wenxi, my Majesty values me, and I don't want Lord Wen to give his life in vain!" Pei Ju stood up: "Don't say much, this official will leave." ”

"Master Pei! Master Pei, don't go! Please also ask Master Pei to save me!" Doctor Wen chased after him again and again, but it was a pity that Pei Ju cultivated martial arts, how could Doctor Wen be able to catch up.

"Alas!" Looking at the empty door, Dr. Wen sighed helplessly, and Mrs. Wen walked out from the side: "Husband, otherwise, let's push away this matter of opening the imperial examination and go and do it for others!"

"If I could push it, I would have pushed it a long time ago, I would dare to push off the imperial examination, and Your Majesty would dare to cut off my head tomorrow" Doctor Wen sat on the chair dejectedly: "You can't run to the palace to find Your Majesty's help because of Pei Ju's words!"

"But Pei Ju never jokes," Mrs. Wen said, "If the gate valve is a real hands-on ......." ”

"This official is also a dignified third-grade member, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, I don't believe that these guys dare to do anything out of the ordinary" Doctor Wen said as he stood up: "Prepare the horse, I will enter the palace and ask Your Majesty to call the shots." ”

He was not convinced on the lips, but he was already terrified in his heart.

Zhang's house

Zhang Bairen looked at the secret letters in his hand, and his eyes slowly narrowed: "These gate valve families really can't sit still, just wait." ”

in the Royal Palace

Yang Guang looked at the recital, heard the noise of Dr. Wen below, and reluctantly put down the recital: "This is the upper capital, if there is no permission from me, who dares to move your fingers? Since I handed over the imperial examination to you, then you can rest assured and boldly go, there is absolutely no room for error in this matter." ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is about the lives of the minister's family!" Dr. Wen knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

Yang Guang's face was full of helplessness, knowing that this matter was tricky, and then said: "Then let Zuo Xiaowei send a team of men and horses to be stationed in the mansion with you?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dr. Wen kowtowed repeatedly.

"Okay! Okay! Confucianism will help you in the imperial examination, or it won't be long before the world will know about it, and then you will be famous all over the world, what a good opportunity this is" Yang Guang picked up the fold and continued to review.

"The minister retires" Dr. Wen smiled bitterly, if there was a chance, he would rather give up this opportunity to spread the world.

Watching Doctor Wen walk away, Yang Guang said to the waiter on the side: "Go to Zuo Xiaowei and give an order." ”
