A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Say!" Di Renjie said quietly.

"Why did the teacher set up this organization? Is the downfall of the original family related to the teacher's organization." Pei Xingjian said.

"Sometimes I can't figure it out." Di Renjie held the folding fan in his hand, "Sometimes thinking about the fact that the teacher has made too many enemies, maybe it's because of his own will."

The fat monk smiled without saying a word. Gu Qing knew better than Di Renjie before and after the establishment of the Green Gang. Everything started with Wu Mei, and the beginning of the Green Gang began with Wu Mei's turning point.

Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian talked a lot, and then the two walked out from the back door of the pen studio, bypassing the hidden alleys all the way.

"Remember the route here. In the future, don't go into the pen studio from Dongshi, go from here." Di Renjie led Pei Xingjian through the corners of the streets.

Pei Xingjian followed behind Di Renjie in small steps, "Does the teacher still have a disciple?"

"Xue Rengui is with Su Dingfang in the army now." Di Renjie smiled and nodded, "You will see him in the future, you are the teacher's dark chess, Xue Rengui is the teacher's bright chess, some people say that the teacher accepted a disciple It is inappropriate to put it in the army."

Pei Xingjian replied, "It is most appropriate to be the next one. The one without weaknesses is the most dreadful. On the contrary, those with weaknesses will make people feel at ease. Naturally, a teacher with the skill of firearms cannot be in the army. But If you make a wrong decision, put it in front of others."

"Others will think that the teacher is nothing more than that." Di Renjie led Pei Xingjian into a lively restaurant and continued, "What I don't understand is that Xue Rengui, who the teacher has taken a fancy to at a glance, is not as smart as you."

"The teacher also has a good eye." Pei Xingjian also said.

"Let's have something to eat." Di Renjie yelled at a wine table, "Dude, serve the wine!"

"Okay." The man hurried over.

Pei Xingjian sat down with Di Renjie and took a sip of the spirits. He stuck out his tongue and it was the first time he drank spirits, but Di Renjie enjoyed it quite a bit. The waiter served a few more dishes and then whispered something in Di Renjie's ear.

Unable to understand this weird move, Pei Xingjian could only observe.

Di Renjie nodded when he heard the man's words, "I see."

"Does the guest officer need anything else?" the man asked with a smile.

"No need." Di Renjie took out a piece of silver cake, "Your reward."

"Please order whatever you need, the guest officer." The clerk stepped back with a look of hospitality.

After taking a sip, Di Renjie took a sip of wine, stood up and said to Pei Xingjian, "Come with me."

The curious Pei Xingjian followed Di Renjie and stood up. Before leaving, he took two bamboo hats in the tavern and walked to the street of Chang'an in the rain. On a heavy rainy day, there were no pedestrians on the street of Chang'an. Pei Xingjian noticed that the people behind him had followed him at some point. After seeing a few guys wearing bamboo hats, Di Renjie walked away very calmly.

When he came to a small house, Pei Xingjian saw a few men hiding from the rain in the courtyard of the house, they were the ruffians who had blackmailed him before.

Di Renjie lowered his bamboo hat and said to the ranger behind him, "Do it, I want to hear it."

"Yes!" Several rangers stepped forward in response, passed by Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian, and walked into the hut.

Chapter 319

Pei Xingjian watched from a distance, and a few rangers stepped forward and started wrestling with those hooligans. These rangers were very skilled and turned into a one-sided beating, with only endless screams.

"In Chang'an, you don't have to bow your knees too much, and you don't have to look at people's faces. Except for those in the palace and Zhuque Street, you don't have to look up to others." Di Renjie said to Pei Xingjian, "We are all disciples of the teacher. Although Chang'an is big, we can't stand up There are only a few of them, and these rangers will follow you in the future and help you do things."

"Thank you, brother." Pei Xingjian said,

"You're welcome." Di Renjie smiled, "You just paid homage to the teacher, even if it's a dark move, you won't let you face the court alone."

The heavy rain was still falling, Pei Xingjian smiled at Di Renjie and said, "I'm going back to the academy first."

Di Renjie nodded.

In Chang'an, the four old generals Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Niu Jinda sat together to discuss the matter of the Eastern Expedition. The matter of the Eastern Expedition is still a bit speculative, but since His Majesty has the mind to go to the Eastern Expedition, it will be a matter of time.

"Enough has been done." Qin Qiong said with a sigh, "His Majesty has always wanted to prove himself in the matter of Xuanwumen, but now it is enough for Dong Zheng's superfluous."

"Shu Bao." Yu Chigong reminded in a low voice that the matter of Xuanwu Sect should not be discussed indiscriminately.

The matter of Xuanwumen was a stain in Li Er's heart. Everyone knew what happened that night, Cheng Yaojin smiled and smoothed things over and said, "My old Cheng just heard that that kid Di Renjie did something. People's shops are smashed."

"Di Renjie is also considered a polite child, how could he do this?" Niu Jinda was puzzled.

"My child." Cheng Yaojin said while sipping his drink, "This time Di Renjie did this because of a student in the imperial examination. No matter how you say, Gu Qing is also a rich man now, what's the matter with the little boy being a bit of a playboy?"

Niu Jinda smiled wryly.

"What if my family gives back the money silently? Just slap their big mouths." Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine, "How much thought has been wasted by His Majesty in opening the imperial examination this time, and how important the matter of students is to the future court How dare you blackmail students! The idlers in Chang’an are really getting more and more ignorant, so they should be taught a lesson.”

This Di Renjie is a bit of a gentleman when he plays a playboy.

On the second day, the rain was much lighter, and the continuous drizzle made people upset. Today's biggest event was the opening of the Chang'an imperial examination. Today, Li Yifu and Yan Liben also started preparing to rebuild the Daming Palace with a group of laborers.

Gu Qing put on his clothes and the imperial examination is about to start today, Li Zhi was excited to see the scene in Chang'an, so he walked out of the house to follow the steps.

"Gu Qing, do you think there are many, many people in Chang'an?" Li Zhi asked as he walked beside Gu Qing.

"A lot." Gu Qing nodded and got on the horse.

Li Zhi also got on his pony and muttered, "Why doesn't Di Renjie come to play with me these days, is Dali Temple so busy?"

All the way to the academy, many students were ready to take the exam. Gu Qing came riding a horse. Looking at this group of students, Li Tai said with a smile, "We are all ready. A school should let the world know."

"Okay!" Gu Qing also nodded.

Li Tai and Gu Qing took a group of students to Chang'an.

Outside the East Palace, Li Chengqian looked at the bustling Chang'an, and Changsun Wuji, who was standing beside the prince, said, "After the spring rain, everything will recover, and there will be a newcomer in the court after the imperial examination."

"Uncle seems to be worried about something?" Li Chengqian smiled.

"There are more than 300 students from Gu Qing's academy who are going to enter this imperial examination." Changsun Wuji sighed, "The academy is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more students."

"There are all kinds of knowledge studied in the academy, and some knowledge is even unheard of." Li Chengqian said.

"Isn't His Royal Highness worried?" Changsun Wuji said, "If the academy continues to grow, what will happen to His Royal Highness Wei Wang, and now His Royal Highness Wei Wang holds a very important position in the academy."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Uncle, you understand what you think."

The imperial examination room was next to Qujiang Pond, and many officials were busy here. The students entered the examination room under the verification of the officials according to their names and their number plates registered on the roster.

"Gu Qing, do you think the students in our academy can get good grades?" Li Tai asked.

"How do I know?" Gu Qing looked at the scene. There were quite a lot of people taking part in the imperial examination. From the age of eleven or twelve years old, you can see middle-aged people in forty or fifty. There is no age limit in the imperial examination, and the questions in the imperial examination are all exams Some Five Classics Analects, and some political countermeasures, the main consideration is the level of articles and the mind to deal with political affairs, and choose better ones from them, unlike the rote memorization of later dynasties, relatively speaking, the imperial examination questions in the Tang Dynasty are more generalized .

Pei Xingjian sat down cross-legged in his seat, and there was a new piece of paper on the table in front of him, which was filled with various examination questions.

After a rough look, there is the last question, which is a kind of arithmetic. The test is about Gu Qing's countermeasures with the envoys of various countries. Pei Xingjian knows this allusion, so he writes it down. This allusion is not a difficult problem, and the reason is also It's not difficult, as many people in Chang'an know, it's equivalent to a sub-question.

The students took their seats one after another, and began to write their pens and write questions in the quiet examination room.
