Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 130

At the end of summer, the courtyard of Yuzhen Temple is beautiful.

It is rare for a garden in Guanzhong to have a small pond, and it is even more rare for a lotus to grow on the pond, blooming gracefully and gracefully.

Today, Xue Bai did not see Li Tengkong.

He came here for the drama in a serious manner, and Li Jilan came directly from the front hall to see him.

The wind blew across the surface of the pool, bringing the fragrance of lotus flowers. Xue Bai stood by the pool and read two folds of the play, nodding repeatedly.

"Ji Lanzi returned to Chang'an in just a short time, and he wrote [-]% off again."

"Ah."

Xue Bai noticed that Li Jilan's voice was different, and when he looked around, he saw her head tilted and her eyes were red.

"what happened?"

Li Jilan was still enduring it, but when he was asked like this, tears rolled in his eyes, and then flowed down like raindrops.

She can cry quite well.

I cried more and more sadly there, and hid behind a tree to prevent Xue Bai from coming to see her.

"Mr. Jiao is laughing at you... woo woo..." Li Jilan sobbed, "Master just asked me if I would like to be a concubine in Baisun Yuan..."

"King Guangping? Did he force you?"

"But I'm not the kind of woman who loves vanity and is frivolous. Grandpa thinks I've been frivolous since I was a child... Everyone thinks I'm frivolous... Huh... Why did I fall in love with him? I don't even know who it is... After all, she is also from a wealthy family, whoever wants to be a concubine in Baisun Yuan... feels that the female crown is easy to bully, shameless..."

The following words became more and more vague.

After waiting for a while, she gradually calmed down, turned around, and asked worriedly: "Sir, if he keeps pestering me, how can I get married if I lose my reputation?"

"Ok?"

Xue Bai was taken aback.

She is clearly a female Taoist priest, but she only wants to marry someone?
Li Jilan looked at Xue Bai with watery eyes, and seeing him so surprised, she blushed and turned away.

"As the king of Guangping, he will not be entangled. You can rest assured."

"Hmm." Li Jilan said in a low voice, "Sir, you...you are bleeding."

Xue Bai raised his hand to wipe it, knowing that he drank too much ginseng soup recently.

Thinking of the "shameless" she said just now, he couldn't help thinking that there were too many right and wrong in this Taoist temple, and it would be better to visit less in the future.

~~
Today I was going to see the sisters of the Du family, but after leaving the Yuzhen temple, Xue Bai thought about Li Chu's matter, so he drove his horse to Mrs. Guo's mansion.

Yang Yuyao was playing polo in her backyard, she was pleasantly surprised when she heard that he was coming, and came out to welcome him without changing her clothes.

She never wears makeup and shows off her face. She usually likes to dress up in men's clothing. Today she is wearing a gown with a round neck and narrow sleeves. Her hair is wrapped up, and she looks glamorous and sassy.

Xue Bai seldom saw her like this, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

"Look at what?"

"Your robe is even more beautiful."

"It can be seen that you don't know me at all." Yang Yuyao gave him a sharp look, "People in Chang'an are used to making rumors about me, but do you know that people called me 'Xionghu' when I was in Sichuan and Sichuan?"

"A fight?"

"Okay, I won't lose to you on the polo field."

……

After playing polo, she was sweating all over, and the two of them took a bath together, Yang Yuyao became more and more delighted.

"It's not that the New Year's Exam is approaching, but today you have time to play polo, you must be asking me for something."

"It's better to talk than to ask." Xue Bai asked, "The King of Guangping wants me to marry the Lord Hezheng, what does Yuyao think?"

"No."

The smile on Yang Yuyao's face froze for a moment.

She would be angry, which was expected.

If Xue Bai didn't want to offend Li Chu, he shouldn't have told her about it.After all, if you don't reach out and don't slap the smiling person, if the grandson of the person comes to show his favor, it's fine to decline, so there is no reason to sue the other party for harm?
Obviously, Yang Yuhuan did not tell her sister about this matter.

Xue Bai just said it, and said again: "I have already refused this matter, but King Guangping has a certain posture of swearing not to let go, so Zhang Liangdi asked Zhang Liangdi to speak before the imperial court."

"It will be troublesome if the county magistrate Hezheng comes to the imperial court to discuss this matter." Yang Yuyao pondered, "King Guangping is the son-in-law of the elder sister. I ask the elder sister to come forward and warn him not to make trouble."

"I didn't know he had such a relationship with the Yang family."

"Cai Ping has been married for more than two years and has given birth to two sons."

"Really?" Xue Bai was a little puzzled.

"what happened?"

"When I met King Guangping today, he was trying to take a concubine from Yuzhenguan."

Yang Yuyao was suppressing her anger at first, but when she heard this, her face turned icy.

~~
Baisunyuan.

Early in the morning, Li Chu came to Cui Caiping's house.

The younger son was still crying, and the palace servants couldn't coax him well. Cui Caiping was sitting there with an unhappy face and lost his temper.

"Who made the princess angry again?"

"What? Do you think I have a bad temper? No matter how angry a woman with five surnames is, she can't beat your Princess Li."

Cui Caiping does feel a little uncomfortable sometimes.

The famous families with five surnames even look down on the royal family in private, thinking that they are pretending to be the Li family of Longxi.There are not many talented people in the world who don't want to marry a princess but want to marry a girl with five surnames.

And she is the direct daughter of the Boling Cui family, and her mother is a Korean lady, and she is the most noble among the five surnames.When she was young, the famous heroes who admired her were like crucian carp crossing the river.

In the end, he was given a marriage to a grandson of the emperor, and he lived in this hundred-grandson courtyard all day long. Apart from giving birth to a son, he also raised a son. How could he be happy?
But at this time, she only complained once, and she herself knew that only if she gave up, she could get something. This marriage, what she wants is the future.

Although her natal family is powerful now, she is still willing to share the joys and sorrows with him as his first wife and have children. When he ascends the throne as emperor, she will be the queen and her son will be the prince.

No amount of effort is worth it.

"Okay, I'm not angry with you." Cui Caiping softened his tone a little, and said, "How did Lang Jun come here today?"

Li Chu said: "I heard from the palace people that your mother is going to the palace to see the saint today?"

"Yes." Cui Caiping said: "The sage invited my mother to enjoy the music together."

"Then can you take Sanniang with you? Then ask your mother to help ask the saint to marry you."

"Still not giving up?" Cui Caiping couldn't help curling her lips.

"This matter is very important to the East Palace." Li Chu whispered.

"Okay, nanny, you go and talk to grandma, okay?"

"Here."

Cui Caiping's nanny agreed, turned to leave, and rolled her eyes when she turned her back to the emperor's grandson.

~~
Li Chu persuaded his wife, and immediately called someone to bring Li Yuetu.

The two brothers and sisters talked heart-to-heart in the classroom.

"In Zongsheng Palace, you also met Xue Bai, what do you think?"

"I don't care." Li Yuetu said: "Little sister knows that she can't decide her own marriage, so if you look carefully at each other, it will cause more trouble. It's all up to grandpa and brother's arrangement."

Li Chu smiled and said: "Of course your thoughts are also very important. If you don't like it, then let this matter go."

Li Yuetu felt warm in his heart, looked at his elder brother, and said: "Brother's words are enough, my younger sister is willing to marry."

"That's good." Li Chu said: "I have confidence in my vision. Xue Bai is not only talented and handsome, but also an interesting person. You will not regret it. I am definitely not only out of consideration for the future of the East Palace. Look around Those dandy children of my family are simply out of place."

"Yes."

Li Yuetu knew that this was all true.

The princess of the Tang Dynasty was never easy to marry, now that Xue Baigang is famous, it is easy to arrange, and when he becomes a Jinshi in the future, he is even less willing to marry her.

"When you are in front of the sage, just say that you are willing to marry, and ask the sage to marry you, okay?"

"Thank you brother for your concern."

Seeing that his sister was so obedient, Li Chu nodded in relief.

"Brother, can my younger sister go and see Mrs. Chen?" Li Yuetu asked.

Li Chu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Okay, it won't be too long, I'll wait for Mrs. Han to lead you into the palace."

Li Yuetu wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end, she got up and walked towards the courtyard.

"aunt."

"Yang Lang, where's your aunt?"

"A Niang is in the house, and Ai Lang is going to help her out."

Li Yuetu looked around and saw five-year-old Li Shi turned around and ran back to the house, helping his biological mother Shen Zhenzhu to welcome him out.

Seeing the ceremony, Shen Zhenzhu said softly: "Yang Lang, you go to study, I will talk to the county magistrate."

"Okay, Ma'am."

Li Yuetu hurriedly asked Shen Zhenzhu not to be too polite, and said in a low voice: "Brother is good at everything, but I don't want to fight for your name."

"Lang Jun is busy, he must have forgotten."

Shen Zhenzhu is a daughter of a good family who entered the palace and gave birth to the eldest son, so she would be entitled to a title, but now she is still just a concubine.

Li Yuetu couldn't see this matter a little bit, and sighed: "Brother, everything is good, but I always forget you, I forget this, I forget that too. I came today to ask you what is the problem?"

"Mr. Lang treats me very well, and Mr. Lang is also filial. There is no difficulty."

Shen Zhenzhu recalled Li Chu's affection for her back then, and thought to herself, he is in trouble now, but in the future he will treat her well...

~~
Li Chu sat alone in the study for a long time, put down the scroll in his hand, wondering that Mrs. Han has not sent someone to invite Li Yuetu to enter the palace together.

Suddenly, Cheng Yuanzhen rushed in hastily.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Han has been in the palace for a while..."

"Ok?"

Li Chu was a little surprised, and asked: "Without Sanniang, can she ask the sage to marry her?"

"It's someone from the palace..."

Before Cheng Yuanzhen finished speaking, several eunuchs in red robes walked down the corridor.

"King Guangping, accept the sage's words!"

"The grandson is here!"

Li Chu tidied up his clothes in a hurry and received the order.

"The sage said, 'You son of a bitch, if you dare to jump up and down, you will be grounded for another year. This time, you will never go anywhere. Rest at home and treat your wife well'."

After reading the oral order in a wonderful tone, the eunuch said again: "King Guangping, I'm sorry."

Li Chu was taken aback.

Then, the eunuch stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and patted his face lightly.

It's not heavy, it doesn't hurt at all.

But this was actually a slap on behalf of the saint.

"'Hugh think you can hide that little thought!' was the last word of mouth."

After the vicious sentence, the eunuch in front of him smiled apologetically, turned around and left.

Li Chu was stunned for a while, and quickly signaled Cheng Yuanzhen to follow up and ask, no matter how many benefits he had, he would ask the matter clearly.

……

"Your Majesty, the servant has asked."

"Why is this?"

Cheng Yuanzhen hesitated, and said in a low voice, "After Madam Han entered the palace..."

"Say."

Cheng Yuanzhen actually felt that it was not good to say this, and it would damage the relationship between King Guangping and his concubine.

But he still said it, and said: "Mrs. Han has sued the king, saying that the king has neglected the princess."

"I snubbed her?" Li Chu was very surprised, and blurted out, "How jealous and aggressive she is, don't you know?"

As soon as the word "jealous and fierce" came out, Cheng Yuanzhen was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, be careful."

Li Chu closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and calmed down his anger.

Everyone said that he doted on Mrs. Cui, so he couldn't be laughed at.

"Do you know why Mrs. Han wants to sue? Could it be about Ji Lanzi? How did she know?"

Cheng Yuanzhen was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the servant is guilty, but the servant has absolutely no leaks in this matter."

"I understand." Li Chu patted Cheng Yuanzhen on the back and said, "You are the person I trust the most. How can anyone not believe you? Now that I am grounded, you can check for me."

"Here."

Cheng Yuanzhen was greatly moved, and hurriedly walked out.

He knew that his fate in this life rested on King Quang Binh, and when King Quang Binh soared into the sky, he would naturally be able to take him to heaven.

~~
The whole matter was not difficult to investigate. After asking a few servants of the Cui family, Cheng Yuanzhen already knew the ins and outs of the matter.

"Before Mrs. Han entered the palace, she met Mrs. Guo Guo."

"what?"

Li Chu thought of seeing Xue Bai in front of Yuzhen Temple again, and immediately understood.

"Xue Bai? He doesn't want to marry Sanniang, that's all, I have good intentions, why did he harm me instead?"

"The king treats people sincerely, but Xue Bai must have regarded Ji Lanzi as a taboo, so he dared to be so rude and presumptuous."

"he?"

Li Chu was a little surprised.

He had never thought of such a thing as a white body competing with the county king for a woman.

His face felt a little numb.

The light slap he received seemed to hit his heart.

No matter what, this time he stretched out his smiling face to win over Xue Bai, but got slapped instead.

~~
"Snapped."

Before dawn, Du Wulang got up yawning and slapped himself to wake himself up.

Today is the Guozijian annual examination. Only those who pass the annual examination are eligible to participate in the imperial examination.It is equivalent to the tribute test in prefectures and counties, but of course it is much easier than the tribute test.

Someone in the room lit a candle, he was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that today he was not in the guest room of Xue's house, but in the Imperial Academy.

Xue Bai also got up, looking very energetic.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Du Wulang yawned and asked.

"The day is finally here."

"Yes, yes, year-old examination, Chunwei, becoming an official, in fact, there is nothing good about being an official. You see, my grandfather is already tired, and it is annoying to see things every day."

"If you have ambition, you will never get tired."

Du Wulang was a little worried, and said, "You haven't been to the Imperial College for so many days in Zhongnanshan, can you pass?"

"Don't say stupid things."

The two packed up, pushed the door out, and walked all the way to the Taixue Hall, where they saw Zheng Qian, a doctor of Taixue, and Su Yuanming, Siye... Wei Shu, the Imperial College Jijiu, was sitting at the top, wearing a purple robe and a long gray beard. floating in the air.

All the students were very nervous.

Du Wulang was also nervous, but he could keep telling himself in his heart that these were all friendships.

He studied Mingjing, he was not with Xue Bai, but he met Yang Xuan.

"Hey, you also take the annual test? You will also take the test next spring?"

Du Wulang was very surprised, he thought Yang Xuan would study in the Imperial College for another 20 years.

"Otherwise?" Yang Xuan rubbed her eyes, "An idiot Du can take the exam, can't I?"

"what?"

Du Wulang had read books for many years anyway, and was called a fool by Yang Xuan, so he was speechless for a while, but he couldn't help himself, and asked, "You also test Mingjing?"

"I originally wanted to be a Jinshi, but my grandfather said that would be too eye-catching."

Du Wulang asked: "After posting the scriptures for a while, how much can you be right?"

"Your grandfather is Uiro, a member of the household department?"

"Correct."

"Haha." Yang Xuan clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "My grandpa has already been promoted to Du Zhi Lang, and he is wearing a red robe."

"Ugh."

Du Wulang heard from Xue Bai that Yang Zhao, as Yang Tong's cousin, is one of the rare members of Yang's party who gets along well with all forces, so he will be promoted soon.

Although Xue Bai was friendly with Mrs. Guo, there were three Mrs. Guo in the Yang family, and Yang Zhao never forgot to take care of things. Even the Du family and the Xue family received gifts from him during festivals.

Du Wulang's inkstone, saddle, silver bowl, etc. were all gifts from Yang Zhao. They were not expensive, but the meaning of the gift was very good.

The Mingjing examination is also divided into three sessions, posting scriptures, oral examination, and current affairs policy.

Du Wulang still sat behind Yang Xuan, and the exam would start soon.

He took a look, but saw that "Laozi" had been tested a lot. Sure enough, it was different when the sage went to Zhongnan Mountain. Xue Bai had already told him.

"What does it mean to be flattered and humiliated? Favored as the next person. To be astonished as to gain and to be astonished as to lose is to be astonished as to be flattered and humiliated..."

Du Wulang just felt so strange that he couldn't remember the sentences he had memorized before.

He looked up and saw Zheng Qian sitting there with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a group of officials strode in and said, "Dr. Zheng Qian of Taixue wrote the history of the country privately, so let's go to the Ministry of Punishment."

Du Wulang opened his mouth in surprise, somewhat surprised by this unheard-of crime.

"Privately... privately write the history of the country?"

~~
Xue Bai's first scene was also posting scriptures, at this time he was writing the beautiful Yan Kai, when he heard the movement, he turned his head and saw that it was Zheng Qian who was taken out.

"What happened?"

Su Yuanming ran out and said in a panic: "This is the Imperial College, the emperor's preface!"

"Because it is the emperor's preface, how can we allow people who privately write the history of the country to mislead everyone?!"

At this time, the Guozijian was in chaos.

The Doctor of Taixue was suddenly taken away by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Many students who were taking the annual examination got up one after another.

"Why take away our doctor?!"

Some disciples followed out from the Mingjing test hall and stopped the officials. The leader was Du Wulang.

Surprisingly, Yang Xuan didn't copy the questions, but followed everyone to stop Zheng Qian, pointed at an official's nose, and shouted, "Do you know who my grandfather is?"

Xue Bai put down his brush and got up.

He didn't know if this had something to do with him, but he thought of the dream a few days ago, when many people pushed boulders and collided with each other.

It seemed that the boulder had already been pushed, but it was unexpected that Zheng Qian was the first to be knocked down.

The incident happened suddenly, and as he passed by, he thought about the reason for the whole incident.

"Get out of the way, we are acting according to orders, the evidence of the crime is conclusive..."

"Do you dare to take the doctor of Taixue?!"

"Listen to me, in the 25th year of Kaiyuan, Zheng Qian was appointed as the Lawyer, collected and selected the cases of the year, wrote more than 80 manuscripts criticizing current events, and privately wrote the history of the country..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Bai immediately turned to look at Su Yuanming.

I saw that Su Yuanming's face changed in an instant, and his eyes revealed a look of horror... I'm afraid this matter is true, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not wrong Zheng Qian.

Thinking about what could be called private writing of national history in the 25th year of Kaiyuan, Xue Bai was almost sure that this matter was related to the case of the three common people.

Was it caused by Princess Tang Chang and Li Cong meeting him privately?Or was it caused by the quarrel with Li Chu this time?
"All the students of the Imperial College, sit back for this old man!"

Suddenly they heard an old shout, and everyone turned their heads to see an old man in purple robe sitting there still standing still.

　It’s too late again, everyone forgive me~~I also wrote 1 words today~~ I am asking for a ticket at the beginning of the month, please vote for me if you still have a monthly ticket, please ask for a monthly ticket~~
