Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 682 Delaying His Time

The Ministry of Officials has the Zhongshu Ling who has not yet resigned, and the Ministry of Households is behind the Emperor Chu, so the persimmon is soft, and the Minister of the Ministry of War among the three major books is used to test the water. If this is inferred, then the motive behind this There are too many hands and feet, even Zhongshu Ling and Chu Dishi are suspected.

"What do you think about this?" Xuan Lin turned the teacup in his hand and looked up at Wen Tingzhan.

Wen Tingzhan took a sip of water, put the water glass down and shook it: "How the situation changes, what does it have to do with you and me? Only when you are in his position can you seek his own government, and I am not in his position. It is fine for Nie Zhongshu to become an official, no matter what." Whether you become an official or not, it has nothing to do with me. As for who will take over after Zhong Shuling becomes an official, it has nothing to do with me, why should I waste my time on it."

Xuan Lin was slightly taken aback, he looked at Wen Tingzhan, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, then he was relieved, shook his head and smiled and said: "In terms of open-mindedness, I am not as good as you."

If he stood in Wen Tingzhan's position and had resources and status like Wen Tingzhan's, he would use the hands of the emperor's teacher to intervene in this matter openly, and the emperor's teacher would definitely be very pleased to have a beloved disciple to offer advice.At least one Zhongshu Ling is on his own side, no matter what, he is not on the enemy's side. The convenience and benefits of being an official in the future are unimaginable.He believed that Wen Tingzhan didn't understand these things, but Wen Tingzhan didn't have this idea, because in Wen Tingzhan's view, no one, regardless of the enemy's or our superiority, can influence him to get what he wants.

This detached self-confidence comes from his unparalleled intelligence that surpasses everyone else.

"A high-ranking person, if you don't expect to be a friend, you will not decline; if you are not afraid of being an enemy, you will be brave and courageous. Obey the law, be strict with yourself, live up to the people, and don't be ignorant of your heart. What is there to be afraid of?" Wen Ting Zhandan Said, "There is no enemy of life and death in this world. It is better to hold the fickle person in the palm of your hand than to grasp the reversible overall situation. Let him change, I will only defend what I want to defend, if someone wants to fight with me , then each depends on his own ability."

"Then why do you still want to save Cai Peng?" Ye Yaoguang stared at him, she thought that Wen Tingzhan was going to intervene in this matter, and after so much trouble, he didn't think so at all.

"Just in case." Wen Tingzhan smiled, "Cai Peng and I are candidates in the same period. This matter is not big or small. If someone uses this fraud case to involve us, I will Always have an idea in mind.”

Well, it turned out to be this reason, Ye Yaoguang said that she had no way to refute, so she chose to remain silent.

"It's not too early, let's go to bed early." Wen Tingzhan stood up and ended the conversation.

They were a little tired after rushing all the way back. Xuan Lin was not in good health and needed to rest earlier, so everyone didn't say anything, and went back to their rooms to wash and rest.

On the second day, Cai Peng woke up. At this time, Wen Tingzhan and Xuan Lin were discussing the examination questions of the imperial examination, and shared their answers with Xuan Lin. Xuan Lin was amazed.Hearing that Wang Sen came to report that Cai Peng was awake, the two went to visit together.

"Wen... Mr. Wen..." Cai Peng, who happened to drink the medicine, leaned on the bed. Although Wen Tingzhan and Wen Tingzhan had only met each other a few times in the examination room, and they had never said a word, Wen Tingzhan was a man of his own. But they knew each other, because he was the most admired person in the hearts of all their scholars, so as soon as Wen Tingzhan entered the examination room, almost every candidate remembered his outstanding appearance.

Wen Tingzhan stepped forward to feel his pulse again before saying: "Your injury has recovered well, but your body is still weak."

"Thank you Mr. Wen for saving your life..."

Cai Peng said he was about to get up and salute Wen Tingzhan, but Wen Tingzhan held him down: "Don't move, these empty salutes will be avoided."

"Do you know who persecuted you?" Xuan Lin asked aloud.

"They look like bandits." Cai Peng lowered his eyes and said weakly.

"Looks like it?" Wen Tingzhan repeated these three words playfully.

Cai Peng was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know who ordered them."

"Who do you have a grudge against?" Xuan Lin asked again.

Cai Peng's fingers on the quilt trembled feebly. He was silent for a longer time this time than last time: "I heard that Mr. Qilin is temporarily staying in the old mansion of Mr. Qi'ao due to illness. He is a peerless gentleman. He must be Mr. Qilin. , both of you are extremely intelligent people, since you have rescued me at home, I must have found out everything about me. How dare I have any reason to hide it, and I cheated with Zhang Zun in the examination room. Zhang county magistrate and his son."

Xuan Lin glanced at Wen Tingzhan without saying a word.

Wen Tingzhan didn't speak either, and Cai Peng took a breath and said, "The next Hanru, I met Zhang County Magistrate's daughter Yu Huahui a year ago, and I was taken advantage of by people because of my wishful thinking. , if Qiu Wei helps Zhang Zunzhong in the promotion this time, he will betroth his daughter to my subordinates. In the next moment, I will be obsessed with ghosts, thinking that this year has not yet reached the weak crown, and there is no harm in waiting another three years..."

After Ye Yaoguang stood at the door and listened, she didn't know what expression to put on. She originally thought that she could let a talented person cheat in the examination room. Would it be a matter of life or death, or a shocking situation where the whole family was coerced? A big event, but it turned out to be just for a word of love...

But Ye Yaoguang didn't despise her, she just sighed silently in her heart, isn't the word "love" the most difficult thing for young Mu Shaoai?

"In your opinion, who wants to take your life?" Xuan Lin asked in a cold voice.

Cai Peng shook his head: "Since waking up, I have thousands of thoughts in my mind, but I can't figure out a clue. Anyone who might harm me would not persecute me at that time, let alone use that method. "

"But you know in your heart that the cause is your cheating in the exam room." Wen Tingzhan said bluntly.

Cai Peng closed his eyes heavily.

"How do you plan to understand this matter?" Wen Tingzhan asked.

Endless struggles appeared on Cai Peng's face, and finally he laughed at himself: "After going through the gate of hell, there is nothing that can't be seen through. It is the evil fruit that I planted by myself. Naturally, I will bear it. After I can stay in the bed, I will take care of it." Go to Fucheng and surrender yourself."

Wen Tingzhan nodded almost invisible: "You are resting."

After finishing speaking, he left the room with Xuan Lin, and left the yard, before Ye Yaoguang asked: "He surrendered himself, didn't he expose the matter earlier?"

"It's better to end it earlier, I don't want to retake the exam." Wen Tingzhan nodded.

"Is Yunhe still afraid of the re-examination?" Xuan Lin couldn't help laughing.

"It's just a waste of time, delaying me and Yaoyao going out to play." Wen Ting Zhanyun flung out a sentence lightly.

Xuan Lin and Ye Yaoguang were taken aback at the same time. At this moment, they both realized carefully that Wen Tingzhan might not interfere with the dispute over the Zhongshu Ling, and even made trouble to pin the fuse earlier. The reason is to stop this matter early, so as not to bother him to retake the exam and waste his time playing with her...

Master Chu knew the internal cause, and wondered if he would be pissed to death, Xuan Lin thought of it with evil intentions.
