Chapter 560
Wang Pingan snorted, put the small note into his arms, and said: "Ming Jingke, this is not easy to manipulate, Kao Mingke just fills in the blanks, it's easy to fill in, what to do if you can't fill it in, maybe they fill it in If there is no blank space, I also want to say okay?"

Yu Chigong laughed twice, and said: "The old man has already made an agreement with these two people, let them leave blank the questions they don't know, don't fill them indiscriminately, if there are no words in the blanks, you can do something wrong. Just help them fill in the blanks!"

Wang Ping'an grinned and said, "That's okay too? Isn't that too much!"

Yuchi Gong snorted, and said: "This is too fart! The whole paper does not write anything, and even asks you to fill in their names, that is too much. The old man just asks you to fill in a few for them. It's just empty, is this too much? How can it be reasonable!"

Wang Pingan said: "It's not me who approves the papers alone, and then explain that there should be a special person to approve the economics papers. I just review them at the end. If they are rejected early, how can I help them fill them out?"

"Why are you so pedantic, what a rotten tree!" Yu Chigong said eloquently: "Wouldn't you go to read the test papers in advance, just fill them in for them, who can supervise you? Chu Suiliang, the old man will do it himself." Go say hello, you don't care, just fill in the blanks."

Wang Ping'an was so angry that he almost fainted. This Yu Chigong asked him to take care of the candidates, and he was more confident than Li Ke. Li Ke only asked him to take care of him when he was grading the papers, but Yu Chigong was so straightforward that he asked him to help answer the papers!

Wang Pingan said angrily: "Then you talk to Master Chu, as long as he agrees, I will have no problem here. If he doesn't agree, I won't agree either."

Seeing that he was angry, Yu Chigong quickly showed a smile and said, "Good boy, don't worry. I heard that you are short of a house. I am sending someone to find you a place to buy a big house recently, right?"

Wang Pingan said: "Yes, I have to find a place to buy a house. My parents are going to Beijing, but the piece of land you gave me earlier fell into my hands and I can't build a new one. If I don't buy a house again, Could it be that after my parents enter Beijing, they also have to live in the Monk Temple?"

"What a good boy, he knows how to be filial." Yuchi complimented him respectfully, and then said: "You can keep that piece of land, and when it's convenient, it's not too late to build the duke's mansion. But if you want a house, it's not too late It's not difficult, didn't the old man give you two names, they are willing to pay for the house and give it to you!"

Wang Ping'an rolled his eyes and said: "This official is upright and upright. I will never accept this bribe. Tell those two guys that they don't want to be successful in this class."

Yu Chigong also widened his eyes, and shouted: "Is that really the case? You are so ignorant of flattery, you kid deserves a beating, right?"

Wang Pingan looked around and thought, "Did he drink too much? Not only did he make such an exorbitant request, but he dared to speak loudly to me!"

He took off his hat, pointed at his head, and said, "Don't show mercy!"

Yu Chigong flicked his sleeves and said: "If you don't know what to praise, I will ignore you!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wang Pingan put his hat on again, thinking: "Did you really drink too much? But you don't smell alcohol, he's quite abnormal today!"

Yu Chigong walked a few steps, then turned around and came back, shouting: "You really don't agree? You bastard, if you don't agree, the old man will break up with you from now on!"

Wang Pingan took off the hat he had just put on, and said, "Why is this necessary? Why don't you beat me up to calm down? But let's not discuss the matter of winning those two people!"

Yuchi snorted respectfully, "It's really a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard! The old man hit you, and you still didn't fight back?"

Wang Pingan said: "Repay it, of course I have to. I just told you to hit me. I didn't say you hit me. I won't fight back!"

Yu Chigong smiled suddenly, and said: "Then the old man beat you, who wants to fight with you in public! Well, you wait, the old man will tell the emperor that you are not knowledgeable enough to be a deputy. The chief examiner, anyway, who is finally decided to be the deputy chief examiner, it hasn't been confirmed yet, I'm messing with you!"

Wang Pingan also smiled, and said: "Then I can thank you, you go, hurry up, run, speed!"

Yuchi Gong cursed, then turned and left.Seeing this, Tang Xuanzang walked over and asked, "Junior brother, what happened to you two? Why did you turn your face in public?"

Wang Pingan put his hat on again, and said, "Flip? No! General Yuchi is like this, he's making a fuss, but he's actually a good person. He won't turn against me just because of a trivial matter!"

"Then you two just now..." Tang Xuanzang said puzzledly.

Wang Pingan said: "He's drunk too much, he's crazy about drinking, don't pay attention to him."

Tang Xuanzang didn't ask any more questions, and went to see the officials arranging lanterns.But Wang Pingan thought to himself: "It's strange, Yu Chigong is not that kind of person, why is he so abnormal today? It's a bit like putting on a show for others to see." He couldn't figure out the reason, so he stopped thinking about it.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and Wang Ping'an and Tang Xuanzang entered the palace together and went to the Chengtian Gate.At this time, the ministers were almost all here, just waiting for the arrival of Emperor Li Shimin.

The little eunuch led Wang Ping'an and guided him to his seat, and Tang Xuanzang sat next to him, counting according to his rank, but the great monk actually sat down on the head of the Duke, surpassing the Marquis.

The officials greeted each other, and there was harmony in the tower.Seeing Wang Ping'an coming, Li Ji walked over and asked, "I heard that you and old Yuchi had a conflict, and you actually wanted to fight each other down below, is there such a thing?"

Wang Ping'an said: "The lower officials can't beat him, and we can't talk about fighting each other. He can only beat me!"

Li Ji laughed, turned around and shook his head and left.

After a while, Li Ke came over, sat down in front of Wang Ping'an, and asked, "Just now Yu Chigong went upstairs and said loudly that you were wrong, that you were not very knowledgeable, that you belonged to the generation of swindlers, and that everyone should work together to show respect to the emperor." Let me tell you, let's just say that you are the deputy chief examiner, do you know about this?"

Wang Ping'an was silent for a while, wondering how could this be so, Yu Chigong is a bold person, a chaotic person on the surface, but extremely shrewd in essence, how could he do such a thing, could it be that...he took drugs?Impossible!

Seeing that he was silent, Li Ke said again: "Just now I saw him and Uncle Guo whispering, I don't know what they were talking about, I guessed that Uncle Guo should make things difficult for you, and he is not easy to do it himself. , let Yu Chigong, a stupid, black and thick guy, make it hard for you!"

Wang Ping'an was speechless for a while, and said: "Then, what should we do? Why don't you step down from office...retire and return home?"

Tang Xuanzang listened to him clearly, couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and glanced at him, how old are you, why did you retire and return home?
Li Ke waved his hand and said righteously: "You are joking without illness, so what if you offend Changsun Wuji? As long as I am here, everything will be safe for you, just like your name is Ping An, everything will be normal Ann!"

"Thank you so much, my lord!" Wang Pingan hurriedly cupped his hands to express his gratitude, but he didn't think so in his heart, what a joke, how could Changsun Wuji make things difficult for me, he still wants to go to the hot spring with me!

Li Ke comforted him a few more words, got up and left, and returned to his own seat.

Seeing him leaving, Tang Xuanzang approached Wang Ping'an and said, "Junior Brother, who was that benefactor just now? Judging by his clothes, he looks like a prince, and judging by his age, could it be the King of Wu?"

Wang Pingan said: "Yes, it's him. Why, what do you say, brother?"

Tang Xuanzang thought for a while, and felt that he shouldn't utter bad words, but he had to remind his junior, he said: "You have to pay attention to him, he seems to be in character... well, the world is suffering, but some sufferings really come from it. .Brother, you are too tired to be in the officialdom, so why not become a monk, let the senior brother shave you, you will enter the Buddhist gate, and you will be accompanied by the light..."

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "Stop, don't talk about it. Brother, you don't understand. Brother, I am practicing in the world. It is the same reason as you practicing in front of the Buddha. Shaving is just a formality, so there is no need to go through this formality."

Tang Xuanzang shook his head and said, "Stubbornly obsessed, obsessed with obsession!"

While talking, Shi Zhongchen came out and shouted: "The emperor is here, and all the ministers will welcome you!"

The ministers got up quickly, knelt down again, and shouted long live.In the tower, there is only one person standing, that is the great monk Tang Xuanzang, he is a monk, he only kneels down to the Buddha, not to the mortals.

Li Shimin walked out from behind in a light robe, raised his hand to support him, and said: "Zhu Aiqing is flat." He sat down behind the dragon table in the middle, and said: "Hold the lamp!"

Shi Zhongchen shouted in a long voice: "The emperor has a decree, hold the lamp!"

The young eunuchs upstairs responded in unison, climbed up and down the ladder, and lit the lanterns on the tower.As soon as the lights on the city tower were turned on, the lights on the square below were also turned on one by one, and the folk lights in the distance were also turned on.Not long after, the city of Chang'an was brilliant and colorful.

The Lantern Festival banquet begins.

There was a lot of gongs and drums near Chengtian Gate, and various performances were staged. Thousands of people flocked here. The side of the square made an exception to allow the people to do small business, selling all kinds of food and gadgets. It was very lively!
Wang Pingan looked down and thought: "It's a pity that there are no fireworks this year, otherwise it would be great to put a few fireworks into the sky at this time."

Tang Xuanzang beside him was called to the front by Shi Zhongchen to talk to Li Shimin.Although Li Shimin believed in gods and Buddhas when he was young, he didn't pay much attention to them. But when he got older, he became more and more interested in receiving the blessings of Buddhas. Unlike others, Tang Xuanzang taught him scriptures, and he There was no expression of impatience at all, on the contrary, he listened with gusto.

Wang Pingan looked at Yu Chigong in the crowd, and saw him sitting next to Changsun Wuji, talking to Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji nodded and smiled.Coincidentally, after Yu Chigong finished speaking, his eyes happened to look at Wang Ping'an, and seeing Wang Ping'an was also looking at him, he immediately opened his mouth wide, bared his teeth vigorously at Wang Ping'an, and made an extremely ugly grimace!

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "I'm taking drugs, for sure!" Without showing any weakness, he immediately made a vomiting face, indicating that your grimace is too disgusting!

He and Yu Chigong have known each other for so long, so he didn't believe that Yu Chigong would suddenly go crazy. If it's difficult for him, there must be a reason, but the reason is not known now!

After a while of eating and drinking, singing and dancing were presented, singers and dancers sang and danced, while ministers toasted each other, flattered each other, and the Chengtian Gate was peaceful with singing and dancing!
Banquets, although the name is different, but the process is the same, that is, eating and drinking, you feed me, I feed you, nothing new.The banquet lasted for nearly an hour, and it was almost over. Li Shimin was already tired, as soon as he left the banquet, the banquet would be over, and the ministers would leave the palace to go to the folks to have fun. This is the case in previous years, and there is no reason for this year to be an exception.

Tang Xuanzang came back from Li Shimin and sat in front of Wang Ping'an again. He said: "The emperor has studied Buddhism very much, talked a lot with the poor monk, and said that he would send the Minister of Zhongshu to preside over the construction of the Tongtian Buddha. I didn't expect it. The emperor actually attaches so much importance to this matter!"

Wang Pingan chuckled twice, and said, "It's Xu Jingzong's Minister of Zhongshu. He is the prime minister's deputy. The emperor sent him to preside over the repair of the pagoda. It can be seen..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin said from above: "Where is Wang Ping'an?"

Wang Pingan trembled, why did he suddenly call me?He hurriedly got up and said, "My minister is here!"

Li Shimin said: "I heard that someone secretly asked you to cheat for personal gain, to cheat in the scientific examination, and to recruit some people with low talents and studies. Is there such a thing?"

Wang Ping'an looked at Yu Chigong with all eyes, thinking: "No way, he really sued me for being tricky, did he make a mistake!"

The ministers suddenly fell silent and looked at Wang Ping'an together.Li Ke was in a hurry, afraid that Wang Ping'an would talk nonsense. It didn't matter how hard he tried in private, but if he was asked by the emperor on the spot, who could bear it? He just gave Wang Ping'an a list during the day, but Don't be shaken out at night!

Wang Ping'an lowered his head and said: "It's nothing like this, no one has asked my minister... well, no one wants my minister to cheat for personal gain!"

Li Shimin said: "Really not? If there is, then there is, if not, then there is none. Don't hide it for anyone."

Wang Pingan said: "If you go back to the emperor, no, indeed no!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Why not, just now I wanted Yuchi Aiqing to test you, it's only a little longer, you forgot?"

Wang Pingan groaned and was taken aback, no wonder Yu Chigong was so abnormal, it turned out that the emperor ordered him to do this!

Yu Chigong stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this old minister has already tried Wang Ping'an. He would rather break up with the old minister and fight with him than agree to engage in malpractice for personal gain. The old minister can testify to this. Alright, let him be the deputy chief examiner, everyone will be convinced!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly and said, "Really? But everyone is convinced?"

The ministers looked at Wang Pingan again, it turned out that the emperor sent Yu Chigong to test Wang Pingan, and Wang Pingan passed the test, this is really... I have to praise him!
"Wang Ping'an is a good character, let him be the deputy chief examiner, I will be convinced!" The ministers praised together.

Li Ke's face was ashen. Just now he ran to talk about this matter and spoke ill of Changsun Wuji to Wang Pingan, but it turned out that he had nothing to do with Changsun Wuji. pole!
But Wang Pingan blinked his eyes and thought: "Why do you want to test me? Is it possible to use me as an excuse again? Why don't you use Chu Suiliang, you have to use me?"

Seeing that Changsun Wuji stood up, he and Wang Ping'an expected well, and actually planned to use him as an excuse!
