[Comprehensive] Xian Wang

Chapter 34 King of Zhongzhou

The imperial examination results were announced, and Bao Zheng, who took part in the examination in all subjects, won the first prize without any surprise. This time Bao Zheng can be said to be in the limelight.He not only solved the case of Xiuzhu's murder, but also retrieved the Empress Dowager Li who was wronged and almost killed. In addition, Zhao Zhen seemed to have a relationship with Bao Zheng before, and he also had a deep understanding of Bao Zheng's character and so on. They all appreciated it very much, so they directly canonized Bao Zheng as a scholar of Longtuge University and the governor of Kaifeng Mansion.

Many people who don't understand think that since LongTuge Grand Scholar has been conferred, it seems inappropriate to confer another governor, but Wang Ye is very clear that Zhao Zhen really intends to reuse Bao Zheng. But the capital city, compared with modern times, is the mayor of Beijing, and even more powerful.Come to think of it, Bao Zheng, who has only one person who pursues the truth, will also handle the large and small injustice cases in the capital, which will make the court more popular, and will also make Zhao Zhen, who has always wanted to advocate benevolent government, even more loved by the people. Come to think of it... the future Master Bao Qingtian is about to appear.

But before the exam, Gongsun Ce, who was as popular as Bao Zheng, lost his name, which made some people who didn't know the inside story speculate whether Gongsun Ce's previous fame was due to his father, the magistrate, Gongsun Zhenzhen's face.But these words are indeed too much to add insult to injury. There are so many ministers in this court who have sons, and those who are more powerful than Gongsun Zhen can bypass the Fengfu. I have never seen anyone more famous than Gongsun Ce. This is human. Inferiority, he is clearly a scholar, but he still plays with that set of literati.

Wang Ye once remembered a saying that an official once said - if the official is not lucrative, whoever is bored to be an official, it is better to be a businessman, even if the status is lower, but at least he can be rich for a lifetime .

But the purpose of Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce's wanting to become an official is absolutely the same in the true sense - to make some contributions to the country, and to restore peace to the country.

However, this time the civet cat was replaced by the crown prince, Empress Liu's calculations, the first emperor's calculations, and even the forbearance of the Eight Sage Kings all brought different feelings to these two outstanding young people.

In fact, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce are very similar in a certain sense. Both of them are the kind of people who want to prove themselves by relying on their true talents. There is only one so-called truth, but after the two people reveal the truth, their attitudes towards the truth are completely different.

Bao Zheng hopes to gain more power, so that he can use his own power to change the status quo.

And Gongsun Ce... probably understood why his noble father chose to retreat, and felt that he might not be able to do what his father could do, so he directly chose to retreat.He was very afraid that he would become like his father and lose the dignity of a literati, and he was also afraid that he would be contaminated by this filthy officialdom, and eventually become like them covered in bronze, servile, insensitive, and compromising power.

Therefore, I deliberately skipped one subject, thinking that I might as well go home and become a teacher.

But when he was leaving, he met the king of Zhongzhou whom he had always admired.

And Gongsun Ce didn't expect that the man he had always admired would throw an olive branch at him, directly saying that he would exchange a piece of pure land for Gongsun Gongzi to follow him.

It's impossible not to be moved, but if you want to agree so quickly, it seems... something wrong.So Gongsun Ce just shook his head, and said with some regret: "Back then, I promised the lord to follow the lord after gaining fame, but now I have lost my reputation. If I get the gift from the lord again, it will seem that Gongsun...is not worthy of the lord's gift of a pure land. gone."

Wang Ye thought that this Gongsun Ce was really persistent to a certain extent, the pursuit of ordinary people like high-ranking officials and rich salary could not impress the aloof Gongsun at all.But it is precisely because of this that Wang Ye appreciates him so much: "Since the young master is so persistent, the king will not force it. But I only hope that the young master agrees to the king, and please take part in the next imperial examination. When the time comes, I will The king can justifiably take the young master away."

"...!" Gongsun Ce's eyes widened slightly, as if he hadn't thought that he would reject him like this, and the other party still didn't give up on him, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

The atmosphere here is good, but suddenly two people landed on the boat with light work.Wang Ye turned his head and found that it was Zhan Zhao in blue and Bai Yutang in white.

That Zhan Zhao stared at Wang Ye with a face of defense, stretched out the sword in his hand, and stood in front of Gongsun Ce in a defensive posture, and said fiercely to Wang Ye: "Whoever wants to take my brother Gongsun away, can you ask me?" the sword in it?"

Wang Ye didn't care about the hostility in Zhan Zhao's eyes. Although he didn't understand how the hostility came from, he just looked at the sword in Zhan Zhao's hand and said with admiration: "Ju Que? The ancient sword is really a good sword. He is also worthy of the hero Zhan Zhaozhan."

The current Zhan Zhao is a child after all, and he felt a little embarrassed to be praised like this by a great general, but he said proudly, "That's natural!"

Bai Yutang tugged Zhan Zhao's sleeve helplessly, thinking that this cat is really a cat, and he can be coaxed by stroking along its fur.And Zhan Zhao, who was pulled by his sleeves, also thought of the reason why he came here, and continued to say fiercely: "Wait, don't divert your attention, did you mean that you want to take my brother Gongsun away?"

Wang Ye still didn't answer, but snapped his fingers, and one of the shadow guards riding in Feiyun 72 landed on the boat from a distance, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, please tell me."

"Go get that box I got a few days ago."

"Yes."

After two simple conversations, one of the Feiyun 72 riders left quickly again. People couldn't help but sigh that they were indeed the well-trained and invincible Feiyun 72 riders.

"Putting it out." Zhan Zhao held his sword and turned his head. Originally, he still had a good impression of Pang Tong, but since he and Bai Yutang saw the scene where his eyes almost rotted in the imperial garden that day, he really didn't want to say anything. , while the door to the new world was slightly opened, he was also very wary of this man - his eldest brother Gongsun was born so good-looking, at least much better-looking than that emperor, if he was abducted by this man who looked like a man with a 'human face and animal heart' What can I do?

Wang Ye already admired Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and didn't mind Zhan Zhao's inexplicable hostility and Bai Yutang's inexplicable awkwardness, so he just smiled and said: "It's still the same old saying, it's better to meet by chance than to invite each other, and it's better for two young heroes to sit down and drink together." , but there are excellent pear blossoms here."

The most important thing to do when walking in the rivers and lakes is to drink heavily and eat meat in large bowls.

Although these two young heroes don't fit this rough image, they still have a liking for wine, and this fine pear blossom is really attractive.No, after just drinking for a while, Zhan Zhao had already let go of his hostility, and pulled Bai Yutang to call Wang Ye Brother Pang.Wang Ye also directly called them Brother Zhan and Fifth Brother.And Gongsun Ce was also in a good mood watching a few masters who knew martial arts but different fields of activities drinking here, and lamented that this Pang Tong is worthy of being a general who leads the soldiers to respond to everyone, and he really knows how to be a man, just a pot of wine is enough. Bai Yutang, who is the most difficult to deal with in the world, and Xiao Zhanzhao, who is hostile to him.

When Wang Ye told them about the various wars that took place against Tubo, Bai Yutang always said hello when he talked passionately.And Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao also said that the martial arts scum they met when they were walking in the rivers and lakes were also interesting people, and when they talked about these, they inevitably involved one person. I have contact with people from the government, but I was born with people from the government, and I like to collect some scum who can't get along in the rivers and lakes and give them shelter."

As soon as Wang Ye heard it, he, who has always been very sensitive about politics, realized something was wrong, and quickly asked, "Who is the fifth brother talking about?"

Bai Yutang said: "The King of Xiangyang, Zhao Jue."

"This..." Wang Ye frowned in confusion: "It's actually him. Back then, Empress Liu made Kaifeng out of Kaifeng and won the fief of Xiangyang for his wolfish ambition. The military is in power. He gathered a group of scum from the rivers and lakes and can't fight, could it be that he feels that rebellion is hopeless, and he plans to become the leader of the martial arts?"

Zhan Zhao laughed all of a sudden, and the wine almost spewed out of his mouth: "Pfft, brother Pang, are you joking? Even if you want to be the leader of the martial arts, you have to be strong in martial arts!"

Bai Yutang couldn't get used to Zhan Zhao's stupidity, so he patted Zhan Zhao's shoulder lightly: "Silly cat, Brother Pang Da was just joking."

Then, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang started to quarrel again because of this trivial matter, but they didn't get angry, so they looked full of youthfulness.Wang Ye and Gongsun Ce glanced at each other, and they were in a good mood infected by this youthful atmosphere, but they also wondered if they were old...to think that others are youthful and sunny.

After a while, one of the Feiyun 72 riders sent by Wang Ye to the box came back. He held a big box, handed it directly to Wang Ye and withdrew.

Wang Ye didn't hold back, and opened the box directly in front of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and saw the contents of the box clearly. The eyes of the two well-informed young heroes were bright.Wang Ye smiled, picked up the sword directly, put it in Bai Yutang's hand, and said, "The ancient sword draws shadows, and the sword is given to heroes."

"This..." Bai Yutang had a rare expression of surprise on his cold and used face: "This gift is too expensive."

Wang Ye smiled: "I'm not good at using swords. This sword can only be moldy in the box if I put it here. Why don't you give this sword to a knight who can make this sword? If you want to come to Huaying, you will be happy." What's more... Zhan Xiaomao already has a giant sword, if you Chinchilla Mouse doesn't have a weapon that can match him, how can you go crazy?"

This time Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were surprised together: "Crazy Jianghu... How did you know, Brother Pangpa... about this..."

"Of course an old friend told me..." Wang Ye smiled maliciously, directly making Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's faces flush with laughter, and he didn't know whether it was because he had drunk too much or was really embarrassed.
