King's favor is hard to do
Chapter 5-48
.The fat man was short in stature, puffy and puffy, and he was panting after a few words of scolding.His arms were not as long as Han Yuan's, his strength was not as strong, and of course he was not as flexible as him. He wanted to hit Han Yuan a few times, but he couldn't reach him because he was caught in the face.Han Yuan raised his palms a little bit, and his face had to be turned up a little bit, which didn't look too funny.
"Hit him! Kill him!"
The fat man couldn't break free by himself, but he could still whimper and call for helpers.
The few helpers around were originally stunned by this sudden change.But at this moment, after hearing this roar, they suddenly came back to their senses and really rushed forward together.
But at the same time stopped.
Because Han Yuan let go of the fat man's face, turned his arm behind his back, and blocked him in front of him.
There were a few clear finger marks on the fat face, facing the fists of the helpers.
"Tell them to get out. Otherwise, I will go to the academy to sue you."
Han Yuan's tone was indifferent,
"Didn't you hear that fouling at the gate of the academy means that you will be expelled from your academic record and you will never be able to take the imperial examination again?"
After saying these words, the eyes of the people around him changed a bit—this big man looked smart, so he was actually a fool?It's you who hit someone now!Aren't you reminding people to sue you and ruin your life's future?
Sure enough, the fat man who was restrained by him suddenly became ecstatic, and shouted wantonly,
"Yes, yes! I can sue you! Hahaha, you damn poor, you dare to slap your grandfather and me in the face! I'll go to the teacher and sue you! You, you wait!"
... Teacher.It was so kind.
But in one sentence, Han Yuan figured out what he wanted to know.Sure enough, this person didn't just happen to be here and say some incendiary bullshit.
There is also a "teacher" behind him, and maybe it is among the examiners in front.It seems that my speculation is not wrong, but some people don't like Bai Zhiyue's limelight this year, and want to engage in a public opinion offensive - fame is what students value most.Spread some rumors among them and stir up some waves. Although it can't really hurt Bai Zhiyue, it can always hurt his official reputation and make him feel ashamed.
Most importantly, he must scruple his own reputation.Afterwards, he didn't dare to be too high-profile about the arrangements for these disciples under his sect.
So strictly speaking, this is related to the immediate interests of Han Yuan and Bai Jiaoran.In any case, you have to take care of it.
Han Yuan's mind turned very fast, and he figured out the ins and outs in an instant.But he put on a look of astonishment on his face,
"Sue me? You, the public slandered the imperial court official Bai Zhiyue, ridiculed the new champion Bai Jiaoran, oh, and alluded to the filth and chaos in the Eastern Palace. Any serious investigation will lead to prison. Do you still want to sue me? Think about it with your pig's brain, is it you who sued me so that I don't have any fame, or I sue you so that your family will be ruined?"
"you!"
The fat man's face suddenly turned pale, as if frightened by Han Yuan's words.Seeing the meaning, he actually wanted to back down and not sue.
—Idiot, idiot.If he didn't pave the road all the way to his feet, he didn't even know where to step his legs.
Han Yuan tsk tsk in his heart, but on his face he pretended to realize suddenly, with a look of "surprise and anger",
"What are you people doing all of a sudden around me? Oh, I see, you're all in the same group!"
The helpers looked at each other.It's true that they are with that fat boy, but they didn't move just now, where did they "suddenly" surround you?They have been around you!
Han Yuan didn't look at them, only at the fat man.In the end, the fat man still didn't respond, but his small eyes were wide open, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
It really is a pig's brain.Han Yuan had no choice but to say another sentence,
"Don't think that there are so many of you, and you can turn black and white if you want to falsely accuse me! Let me tell you, I have done nothing wrong, I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and there are so many people around, someone must have heard it. Who are those outrageous words? You said it! Don’t think that if you are surrounded by your people, you can..."
The fat man's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he came alive.
Han Yuan secretly let out a sigh of relief - if this fat man doesn't understand, he will be stumped if he is as smart as he is.If that's the case, he can't grab the fat man by the ear, teach him how to frame him, and go to the academy to sue him, right?
It's really not easy.Facing this kind of pig opponent who is leaning on the wall with mud and can't harvest the head, it is very tiring.
All in all, all in all.
After a while, Han Yuan finally got his wish, and was dragged by the fat man to the gate of the academy.It's really gratifying.
【Hanbai】Mistake No. [-]
But the fat man finally thought of a way to frame the man in front of him after Han Yuan painstakingly reminded him.He didn't feel very proud, and felt that he was so smart.
"Hahaha, you stupid scholar! There are only a few people around in that corner - who knows who said which sentence? I think you are the one who said those outrageous words!"
A few helpers around him.I usually rely on flattering him to eat and drink, not a single good thing.Hearing this at this moment, they were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
"That's right, you are clearly the ones who slandered Lord Bai, the new number one scholar, and made up His Highness the Crown Prince's words!"
"That's right, our young master couldn't listen anymore, so he reprimanded you a few words! Why did you spout blood!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, the academy is in front of you, turn him away to see the official! I don't believe it, there is no king's law in this blue sky!"
"I don't even look at what kind of family our young master is. You are so poor and dare to shout at our young master!"
- Portal?What portal?
Han Yuan looked at the fat man up and down - he was dressed in fancy clothes, with a high toe, and a jade pendant tied around his waist in an arty manner, but unfortunately the big gold pendant underneath exposed his details.It seems that she is definitely not a prince or nobleman, let alone a scholarly family.
In all likelihood, he is a son of a merchant.
"From out of town?"
"what?"
"No wonder you're so stupid."
Han Yuan chuckled,
"There is a pig in the capital. Everyone knows that the emperor is at the foot of the emperor, the school lieutenant walks around, and the censors are as many as dogs. You can't be too strict in your words and actions, because you don't know who you offended."
The fat man's face turned red.He let out a "bah" and tugged at Han Yuan's collar,
"Who are you? You want to tell me who you are! Hahaha, I'm bluffing! Look at your tattered clothes. You don't even have a servant. What kind of big man are you? ?I bother!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Han Yuan's collar and went straight to the academy ahead.Han Yuan grinned and followed him without even struggling.
The foreigner is still a businessman.Being able to take the initiative to provoke this kind of strife in the officialdom, it seems that not only is the brain not very good, but there must be no effective backer behind him.Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing such a dirty job of being used as a gun.
The so-called stupid people, rich money, no one to cover - Han Yuan sneered in his heart, feeling that he was really lucky today.If such a fat sheep hits his hand, who will he cheat?
On the way, I don't know who the helpers behind him tripped Han Yuan.Han Yuan staggered, but he didn't fall down, and stood firmly with his long legs.But a bamboo number plate fell out of his arms and was picked up by the person on the side.
"Candidates? He still has a number plate..."
This number plate is one for each person, with only numbers but no names. It is the number of the examinee's examination room compartment during the original examination.You can't lose it after the exam, because when you get the title of the real gold list, you have to use it to claim the list.
——He...has he been admitted to Jinshi?Otherwise, why bring this to the gold list?
The fat man swallowed, and a wave of evil fire rushed to the top of his head - his family was well-off, he was a rich merchant family, and he was bent on arty imperial examinations to become an official.But he has taken the exam three times, for a whole ten years, he can't even get a Jinshi from the same background!That Bai Jiaoran Du Yuzhang is the son of a high official, he can't compare to him, but the scholar in front of him is so much younger than him, and his clothes are so shabby, he even stepped on his head!
How dare you look down on yourself... You're just poor, and you don't even have any background!Today I really want to do everything right, not only want him to beat the Jinshi he got, but also put him in prison and eat the imperial staff!He dared to be disrespectful to himself, he asked for it!
"You are really unlucky to meet me, you deserve it...hehe..."
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out this sentence.Han Yuan listened and squinted at him.
"Coincidentally, I thought so too."
The fat man didn't understand the meaning of Han Yuan's words at all.He dragged Han Yuan to the gate of the academy, and shouted at a group of examiners from afar,
"Master Examiner! This person is unworthy of virtue, the students should report him!"
In front of the noisy gold list, the idlers watching the list were frightened and shut up.
"what happened?"
"Surely someone actually went to the academy to sue someone?"
"What kind of enmity is this? Could it be that he stole his wife? Or dug his ancestral grave? Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case..."
Everyone was astonished.After all, for scholars, imperial examination fame is a lifetime career.Report it to the academy, and it is really verified. In that life, you will never want to be an official through the imperial examination.Dayan has been a country for hundreds of years, and few of them are so vicious—ruling people’s lives for nothing, isn’t it forcing them to fight you hard?
The examiners next to him were also surprised.
It's just that they were not surprised that someone would come here to find bad luck on this day when the results were released, accusing the candidates of misbehavior.
It's the person he dragged over, everyone knows - isn't this the disciple Bai Zhiyue just accepted, the precious Han Yuan?
Just because the exam is too close and there is no time to hold the apprenticeship ceremony, it is not considered a serious master and apprentice.That old bastard Bai Zhiyue dragged Han Yuan around from one examiner's mansion to another!That means, if you all recognize your face, I've decided on this kid.When the list is released and you find out that this is a good seed, don't think of any crooked thoughts, come and grab my disciple from me!
Just for this, they don't know how many times they have seen Han Yuan these days, especially this kid not only has a good attitude, but also has a sweet mouth, and his flattering skills are even more wonderful, and he applauds everywhere he goes.Bai Zhiyue didn't know how proud he was. It seemed that if he had a daughter, he would be betrothed to the Han family on the spot.
Seeing the rankings on the gold list in the morning, the examiners gathered together and lamented the injustice of the heavens - the son was born well and won the first place, this is incomparable.But you can pick up a good seedling in the officialdom just by boxing at home, and you can even get in the top three in the exam... How come such a good thing falls in the Bai family?
Of course they were surprised to hear that someone wanted to report Han Yuan.
what's the situation?
Report this—Yushitai Bai Zhiyue's future protégé, who has just made the list, the new star of the new department, the future star of Dayan's officialdom?What's the matter?Could it be that Bai Zhiyue committed a crime and will be dismissed tomorrow?Otherwise, how could there be someone so short-sighted, rubbing sand in the eyeballs of the court officials?
Examiners, you look at me, I look at you, each dumbfounded.
On the contrary, Han Yuan saw a few of them, with a respectful smile on his lips, and nodded politely.
The fat man was shocked when he saw the adults, and thought it was because of his righteousness.Complacent, he raised his voice,
"My lord examiner, the students want to report him! Please make a decision, my lords!"
"What? You... want to report him? I advise you to think twice, you know he is..."
One of the examiners, surnamed Huang, spoke as if he wanted to calm things down before he could speak.After all, when Bai Zhiyue was really proud of his spring breeze, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace admired his son very much, and everyone knew it.Especially this year, the kid was still up to the task and won the number one prize.The crown prince is the future emperor, and Bai Zhiyue is now a powerful minister, and I am afraid that he will be a powerful minister with two families in the future, and his status will rise to a higher level.Now is not a good time to offend Bai Zhiyue in the open.
Unexpectedly, Han Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile,
"Master examiner, please let him finish. I am also very interested. What does this brother want to report on me?"
After finishing speaking, he pulled the collar out of the fat man's hands, cupped his hands,
"Come on, brother, please speak."
"Don't think that if you treat me with three points of respect now, I won't sue you!"
The fat man thought that Han Yuan was afraid of him, and his aura grew even stronger.
"He bullied the examinees and was domineering. Just now he provoked and caused trouble on the sidelines. He even slandered Bai Zhi, Master Yue Bai, and today's new champion Bai Jiaoran!"
"What? He... slandered Lord Bai and Bai Jiaoran?"
The examiner's face froze.All eyes turned to Fatty, the eyes were full of pity and uncontrollable disgust for caring about the neurotic.It seemed that if there were not too many people watching the list, they would have been able to drive the fat man out on the spot.
"Really! What did he say just now that Lord Bai is playing for selfish reasons, so that his son Bai Jiaoran became the number one scholar! I couldn't listen to stop him, but instead he started to attack me—look, my lord, my newly bought robe was kicked by him Such a big footprint! I couldn't be more angry, and he also said that if I dare to sue the official, he will slander me and pour this basin of dirty water on my head! But my lord, I am definitely not scared by him. People who shrink back. Although our Lingxi royal family is in the cloth business, we have always passed on reading books, and the sages once warned us..."
This is just trying to please the examiners, trying to show their face in front of the examiners.
After all, this fat man is in business at home, and he has good calculations - he has safeguarded the reputation of the examiners, and the examiners will never treat him badly.He hurriedly reported his life experience to the public, in order to imply that the examiners would give them a chance to get along with each other—no official is not corrupt, and the examiners would not be troubled by money.The other party is just poor, and even a fool knows who to choose.
Although this time he came to slander Bai Zhiyue and the others, it was someone behind the scenes who set up a bridge and ordered him to do so.However, when Han Yuan got in the way, the expected effect was not achieved, and it is estimated that this thread could not be connected.
It just so happened that the examiners in front of me were all powerful.His family is willing to pay, if he can use this to climb up to some adult, won't the next imperial examination be a joke?
"What nonsense!"
Unexpectedly, the examiner surnamed Huang spoke again.
"You probably don't know that, in order to avoid suspicion, the adults in this court never take the main examination when their children are taking the imperial examination. This year, Lord Bai only asked about the affairs of the academy from the beginning to the end, and he never even took a step. This year's exam , We are all in charge. How could Mr. Bai cheat? As soon as I heard it, I knew that what you said was a lie."
"What your lord said is true, of course it is false! This poor man slanders Lord Bai so much..."
"Stop talking! Talking nonsense, you can kill your heart!"
Master Huang spoke suddenly, and stopped the fat man, apparently not wanting him to say a word.But Han Yuan suddenly said,
"Master Huang, please allow the students to report carefully."
"This……"
"Master Huang? Is there any reason why students can't express their difficulties here?"
Master Huang paused, his expression unnatural.But quickly laughed,
"Of course not. I just don't want this monster to confuse the public and have any bad influence on Lord Bai."
"Master Huang has worked hard, and the students understand."
Han Yuan smiled and spoke respectfully.But he still continued, with a particularly loud voice.
"I came to pick up the list today, but I heard someone slandering Mr. Bai with foul language. I have admired Mr. Bai for a long time, and I was not angry when I heard the words, so I naturally stopped. Unexpectedly, this person was not only unconvinced, but also threatened I said, unless I knelt down and begged for mercy, I would come to the academy to make a false accusation against me, turning what he said into black and white, and telling me to make up my own mind."
"There is such a thing?"
"There is such a thing."
Han Yuan nodded,
"I saw him turning black and white in front of the academy. I couldn't be more angry, so I kicked him. What he said was true. The students also know that they shouldn't fight in front of the academy, where the sages preach, so that the gentleness is swept away. .Student accepts punishment—Men examiners, the student is willing to accept the punishment and get rid of the merit according to the regulations of the academy!"
As soon as this remark came out, all the examiners gasped.
What are you kidding? !
Xinke explores flowers and gets rid of fame?Just because someone slandered his teacher, he saw injustice and maintained his dignity for the teacher?
Needless to say, it will offend Bai Zhiyue, this is a trivial matter!Just say that this is the national imperial examination ceremony, and His Majesty will personally intervene!Such a big event will definitely alarm the emperor!
The examiners are one head and two big.Pairs and pairs of eyes, all staring at the fat man resentfully - it's you who caused such a big trouble... You've brought us down, damn it!
Among them, Master Huang has the most vicious eyes.
【Hanbai】Mistake [-]
"Don't be impulsive. You are protecting the teacher. Of course, you can't just get rid of your reputation. I don't think your teacher will agree..."
"No, Mr. Bai is not my teacher. Although Mr. Bai has been kind to me and guided my articles, I have never paid homage to him."
Han Yuan immediately interrupted Mr. Huang's words, his voice was raised high, and he seemed very excited.It is just convenient for the idlers in front of the academy to hear these words.
"But Mr. Bai really has kindness to me! My family is poor, my father died young, and only an old mother is dependent on me. In the past, apart from studying, I sometimes help the workers in the fields, sometimes write letters for others, and do some odd jobs—although it is very difficult. I wanted to take part in the imperial examination, but I didn't know how to get in. That day I was working in the capital, and I got up in the morning to practice essays and solve the problems. I happened to be on the small road next to Mr. Bai's mansion, which disturbed Mr. Bai's cleanliness. Not only did he not blame me, he also Take me into the mansion to inquire about my situation, and introduce me to the way to take the imperial examination—if there is no Lord Bai, how could I, Han Yuan, be where I am today?"
What he said was really just and righteous - if he described it like this, Bai Zhiyue met Han Yuan by chance, cherished his talents, and introduced him into the examination room!Not only were they strangers before, but they also had no master-student relationship!So there is no such thing as forming a clique or acting for the benefit of one's own interests!
However, now Han Yuan really hasn't paid homage to Bai Zhiyue - Bai Zhiyue wanted to do it before, but he didn't have time.
So these words, that is a lie no.
Moreover, his attire really only belonged to poor people.That long gown was clean and straight, but there were several patches.The collar of the shirt has been washed white, and it can be seen that it has been worn for a long time, and it is extremely cherished.
Maybe this is his best outfit, right?
Onlookers are always imaginative.In particular, there are some aunts and aunts among them. At first, they liked Han Yuan because of his straight waist and handsome appearance.Hearing that he was born in a poor family, but he knows how to repay him, and he would rather not go forward to repay Master Bai's kindness, and he is even more moved.For a while, there was a buzzing discussion outside,
"Isn't this the sage character mentioned in the sage book?"
"That's right, the benefactor was slandered and didn't show up, so why should he be a coward?"
"He shouldn't be punished! That fat man over there should be punished! What's wrong with kicking him? This kind of person should be beaten—oh, this person is really ugly! It's really ugly!"
"Tell me, why does he have the guts to slander Mr. Bai? Could it be... There are treacherous ministers instigated behind him?"
Master Huang's expression became even uglier.
Those words just now were all about drawing Han Yuan's actions today to Bai Zhiyue's disciples.After all, if he was standing up for his own teacher, it would be a very different matter if he met with injustice.What's more, he won the third prize, and when he said intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the gossip about the fat man before he was beaten, maybe it would arouse the speculation of those who cared - oh, he won the third place, and he was also a member of Bai Zhiyue's sect.In the end, I heard others say that Bai Zhiyue's subordinate who won the first place had a problem, so I couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to hurt someone... What's going on?Could it be that he became angry from embarrassment because he was really hit by the rumor?
However, Han Yuan refused to accept the offer, and the first sentence cleared the relationship between him and Bai Zhiyue as a master and apprentice.There was even a farce of "no fame" - just kidding!Explore the flowers dignifiedly!It's not a hundred or so fellow Jinshi!Is it because you can just say no to it?
If this kind of thing happens, it means that the court has made an official move!If Han Yuan's reputation is really abolished, it means that the court publicly stated that even if someone slanders the court's official, he cannot take action to teach him a lesson;
Does he dare to take on this responsibility?Not to mention whether His Majesty will be furious with Longyan, just talking about Bai Zhiyue's side, he will definitely hold a grudge against him, seize this loophole, and let his gang of mad dog censors read his book to death!Does he dare to offend Bai Zhiyue?
If he dared...he wouldn't let this stupid fat man on the opposite side secretly fan the flames, but dare not come forward to confront Bai Zhiyue!
At this time, Han Yuan raised his head and cupped his hands at him.
"So Master Huang, the students don't want to embarrass you today. If this fame should be dismissed, you can make the decision."
--what happened?Did Han Yuan see anything?Otherwise, with so many examiners present, why insist on asking me to make up my mind?
"This, this, I still need to discuss with my colleagues..."
"Ah? So that's the case. I thought that only one master examiner would be able to decide whether to reward or punish students. It turns out that all adults need to decide together?"
"No, no, you are right! This kind of matter can be decided by an adult—Master Huang, do you see?"
Pian Han Yuan's words reminded others.No one wants to get involved in the matter of taking responsibility and easily offending others.Master Huang wants to share the responsibility equally, but they want Master Huang to stand alone.One of them even enthusiastically urged Master Huang to come,
"Today is special after all! It's an important day when the list is released, so many people are watching it! If you don't give a result, will it cause public criticism? Brother Huang, hurry up and give a result—Han Yuan's happy news is ready here , to give or not to give?"
Master Huang hadn't opened his mouth yet, but the spectators started booing.
"What, he was admitted to Jinshi? It's not easy to be admitted to Jinshi. He saw the gold list just now, right? But he can still stand up..."
"That's right! The fame you got! This is so touching... Such a person is not used by the court, but he has to be punished?"
"My lord didn't say that he would be punished! Don't talk nonsense! Such a person who values love and righteousness has become an official is our Dayan's blessing!"
"Speaking of which, the county magistrate over there is due to serve his term this year, will this little official come to our place to be the county magistrate..."
The person who said this was an elder sister, her face turned red when she spoke, and she didn't know what was going on in her heart.The female companion who came with her pushed her, and the two of them covered their mouths and laughed together.As a result, the eldest sister stopped talking, and her female companion was more courageous, asking directly,
"What's your name, little official? How many places did you win?"
Han Yuan smiled slightly and nodded to her.His voice was neither high nor low, but it was clearly audible.
"Under Hanyuan, the abyss of abyss."
He didn't say what number it was, but the gold list is there, and everyone has eyes.In an instant, the field froze for a moment, and the eyes of a group of people were busy looking at Jin Bang, confirming it again and again, and turning their eyes back to Han Yuan in an instant.
"third……"
"Really third?"
"Tanhualang!"
The crowd erupted, with red faces and bright eyes.It's like Han Yuan's high school prospecting, and they are also honored - Dayan people love to watch the excitement, and they prefer this kind of dramatic plot, which has existed since ancient times.
"Don't dare to be, dare not be. This Tanhua..." Han Yuan arched his hands outside the academy, with a bitter smile and a lower voice.He shook his head and said no more.
It was only then that everyone remembered that Han Yuan's Tanhua might be handed over to others before he could get it.
Soon, the noise in the crowd became even louder. Some were busy comforting Han Yuan, some were clamoring to ask the examiners to show mercy, some were spitting on the fat man, and some took advantage of the chaos to squeeze in and ask Han Yuan's place of origin and age. Whether they are married or not... All of a sudden, the sky boils.
Master Huang's face turned blue.The examiners on the side met each other's eyes, that was a tacit expression of watching the drama - they were all old foxes who had cultivated themselves in the officialdom, so at this time, can't it be seen that Han Yuan is building momentum?At this time, if anyone dares to change his reputation, he will not only have trouble with the Bai family, but also with the people of the capital!This kind of reckless thing, whoever does it will be unlucky, maybe it will be made into a traitorous minister tomorrow, and they will go to the restaurant to play it!
Fortunately, this unlucky job fell on Mr. Huang's head, and it has nothing to do with them.What a blessing.
Master Huang's expression changed constantly, his eyes moved from Han Yuan to the fat man, and then from the fat man to the excited onlookers.Finally, he finally made up his mind and said through gritted teeth,
"Han Yuan, what you did today, although impulsive, is not at fault - it was he who slandered the court officials first, and insulted your teacher second! So..."
"No, no, Mr. Huang is wrong again. That is not my teacher. Although if there is a chance, I really hope to be able to worship under Mr. Bai. I am afraid that I am dull, but I don't have this blessing. Hey, if If I can really fulfill my wish, I will definitely study hard under Lord Bai, love the people like a son like him, and devote myself to everything. Then my long-cherished wish will be fulfilled."
When Master Huang heard this, his face became even more ugly.
Sure enough, as he expected, the onlookers started booing again——
"Such a good disciple, good character and talent, why doesn't Master Bai want him?"
"Yes, yes, accept him."
"The teacher knows the truth, the student knows how to repay his kindness, but the student who is the top three in high school is willing to take action to protect the teacher's reputation. In the end, the teacher accepted this student as an apprentice, and he really became a master-student—oh, this is not only in the storybook. plot?"
...Sure enough, the onlookers all like legendary stories.Amid the waves of sound, Han Yuan smiled slightly.
He knew that the momentum had been created.In a few days, even if the news of his apprenticeship with Bai Zhiyue spreads from someone with a heart, it will not cause any backlash among these common people.No one would believe that he and Bai Zhiyue had a teacher-student agreement long ago—otherwise, why didn't he wait for the happy news at the teacher's house, but came here on foot in old clothes?
People will only believe the stories they want to believe.And now for this story, Han Yuan has already written the script, which has won applause from all the halls.
"..."
Master Huang took a deep look at Han Yuan and nodded.
"Sure enough, you are a malleable talent, as expected of Han Yuan. Although you are only a Tanhualang, this city and ability are outstanding. Han Yuan, I am looking forward to your performance in the court in the future! Good, good! Then Today I will be the master, I will not punish you! Get your good news soon, go back and report the good news to Master Bai!"
He said this with a smile, but he was facing Han Yuan, and Han Yuan could see that there was no smile in his eyes.But he nodded calmly and respectfully saluted,
"Thank you, Master Huang."
"As for you..."
Master Huang looked at the fat man, and this time the resentment in his eyes was not concealed.
"You dare to make trouble in front of the academy, swear words, and cause such a thing...Come here, take him to the back and wait for punishment!"
"What, don't! Don't, Master Huang! Master Huang, I have money, and I still have money to... woo woo woo!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lord Huang slapped him across the face and said angrily,
"You still want to bribe me? The crime is worse! Quick, take him down!"
Standing aside, Han Yuan was even more certain in his heart who was the instigator of this farce of spreading rumors.But he remained calm and just took half a step back to the side.
The fat man was walking past him when he was escorted down.As soon as he lifted his foot, he stumbled the fat man.
"what……"
Han Yuan stretched out his hand to help, as if it was just an unintentional mistake.After that, he smiled at the fat man and said something, still polite.It seems that he doesn't care about the matter just now.
Instead, the fat man's complexion suddenly changed, his eyes widened and his face was blue.
The two onlookers murmured secretly again, as if they were talking about something, "Sure enough, he is handsome and has a good heart, so magnanimous. Look at that ugly fat man, tsk tsk, he will stare at him even if you help him! "
No one heard Han Yuan's whisper to the fat man, but the content was not "careful" or "good for yourself".
But -
"Is it the Wang family in Lingxi? Han has remembered."
——I hope you can also remember Han.
——Because, I'm afraid we will still deal with each other in the future.
【Korean Bai】Mistake No. [-]
A series of coughing broke out, causing Han Yuan to suddenly open his eyes.The nomination day for the gold list in the distant memory just disappeared before his eyes.
In the dark night, the long candle has not been burned out.It was windy at night on the prairie, even though the tents were hung with heavy curtains, there was still a cool breeze pouring in, and the lights on the candles danced and danced, casting many grotesque shadows on the walls.
Han Yuan was stunned for a moment, then pulled up the quilt and covered his face inside.
I even dreamed of the day when the imperial examinations were released.
That time was the real starting point of his official career.After this battle, Bai Zhiyue admired him greatly, and escorted him from then on, protecting him all the way to the top.And he himself, relying on his ambition and full of talent, concentrates on people's livelihood to accumulate official reputation and gain fame among the common people;But in a few years, he let the whole court see with thunderous force how a rising star in the political arena is rising.
Until Li Guangning succeeded to the throne, he finally became the emperor's confidant and became his "eyes".Since then, he has shared countless secrets with His Majesty.
No matter how beautiful the scene in the court hall is, it can't compare with the sentence "Jane is in the emperor's heart".
His position is finally stable.
His ambition finally had a place to flourish.
He turned his head and wanted to say something to Bai Jiaoran - I can finally protect you, I can guarantee your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life, and a prosperous officialdom for the rest of your life.
but……
But along the way, he never paid attention to Bai Jiaoran's astonished eyes when he watched all this.
In the end, during that turbulent night, the relationship between the two gradually reached a stalemate, and finally they almost cut off contact.Master Han, who is proud of the spring breeze, always has a lot of traffic in his house, and those who want to visit him can line up from the front of the gate to the outside of the city gate.
But he can only see the side of his favorite person when he visits the White House during the holidays.
The day of the announcement...
Could it be that at that time, his ruthless style of acting had already written the first heavy shadow in Bai Jiaoran's heart?
To this day, that shadow still lingers.Let Bai Jiaoran say to him, "We have different paths and we don't seek each other, but you don't have to walk the same path with me."
Thinking of this, Han Yuan felt extremely bitter in his heart.After tossing and turning for a long time, I fell asleep again.At that time, the sky was a little white.
So he slept a little deeper, and directly missed the breakfast time.When Bai Jiaoran sat at the negotiating table in the tent on the grassland and greeted Su Rucheng politely, he hadn't come yet.
The seat around Bai Jiaoran was empty, as if a wall that made people feel at ease was missing suddenly.Make him restless, always unable to concentrate.
"Master Bai?"
"what?"
Bai Jiaoran was distracted again, and was awakened by Su Rucheng who was opposite him.He blushed and apologized again and again,
"Young Master Su, I'm really sorry. It's my fault."
"Are you tired? Sigh, you Dayan people are already weak, and you have come all the way here. How can you compare with me, who rides horses and hunts every day? Such high-intensity negotiations are really not suitable for you."
Su Rucheng didn't care, he just pushed the documents on the table casually,
"It's already the last day, and we have almost everything we need to talk about. If you want me to say, don't talk about it, and leave the rest to the people below, how about it?"
"This……"
——Actually, there is nothing wrong with it.
——No, to be precise, according to Dayan's practice, these trivial matters should be carried out by the officials below.
——Actually, Bai Jiaoran could have said this a long time ago, but he didn't.
He glanced at the empty seat next to him again, and sighed inwardly.If today's talk
"Hit him! Kill him!"
The fat man couldn't break free by himself, but he could still whimper and call for helpers.
The few helpers around were originally stunned by this sudden change.But at this moment, after hearing this roar, they suddenly came back to their senses and really rushed forward together.
But at the same time stopped.
Because Han Yuan let go of the fat man's face, turned his arm behind his back, and blocked him in front of him.
There were a few clear finger marks on the fat face, facing the fists of the helpers.
"Tell them to get out. Otherwise, I will go to the academy to sue you."
Han Yuan's tone was indifferent,
"Didn't you hear that fouling at the gate of the academy means that you will be expelled from your academic record and you will never be able to take the imperial examination again?"
After saying these words, the eyes of the people around him changed a bit—this big man looked smart, so he was actually a fool?It's you who hit someone now!Aren't you reminding people to sue you and ruin your life's future?
Sure enough, the fat man who was restrained by him suddenly became ecstatic, and shouted wantonly,
"Yes, yes! I can sue you! Hahaha, you damn poor, you dare to slap your grandfather and me in the face! I'll go to the teacher and sue you! You, you wait!"
... Teacher.It was so kind.
But in one sentence, Han Yuan figured out what he wanted to know.Sure enough, this person didn't just happen to be here and say some incendiary bullshit.
There is also a "teacher" behind him, and maybe it is among the examiners in front.It seems that my speculation is not wrong, but some people don't like Bai Zhiyue's limelight this year, and want to engage in a public opinion offensive - fame is what students value most.Spread some rumors among them and stir up some waves. Although it can't really hurt Bai Zhiyue, it can always hurt his official reputation and make him feel ashamed.
Most importantly, he must scruple his own reputation.Afterwards, he didn't dare to be too high-profile about the arrangements for these disciples under his sect.
So strictly speaking, this is related to the immediate interests of Han Yuan and Bai Jiaoran.In any case, you have to take care of it.
Han Yuan's mind turned very fast, and he figured out the ins and outs in an instant.But he put on a look of astonishment on his face,
"Sue me? You, the public slandered the imperial court official Bai Zhiyue, ridiculed the new champion Bai Jiaoran, oh, and alluded to the filth and chaos in the Eastern Palace. Any serious investigation will lead to prison. Do you still want to sue me? Think about it with your pig's brain, is it you who sued me so that I don't have any fame, or I sue you so that your family will be ruined?"
"you!"
The fat man's face suddenly turned pale, as if frightened by Han Yuan's words.Seeing the meaning, he actually wanted to back down and not sue.
—Idiot, idiot.If he didn't pave the road all the way to his feet, he didn't even know where to step his legs.
Han Yuan tsk tsk in his heart, but on his face he pretended to realize suddenly, with a look of "surprise and anger",
"What are you people doing all of a sudden around me? Oh, I see, you're all in the same group!"
The helpers looked at each other.It's true that they are with that fat boy, but they didn't move just now, where did they "suddenly" surround you?They have been around you!
Han Yuan didn't look at them, only at the fat man.In the end, the fat man still didn't respond, but his small eyes were wide open, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
It really is a pig's brain.Han Yuan had no choice but to say another sentence,
"Don't think that there are so many of you, and you can turn black and white if you want to falsely accuse me! Let me tell you, I have done nothing wrong, I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and there are so many people around, someone must have heard it. Who are those outrageous words? You said it! Don’t think that if you are surrounded by your people, you can..."
The fat man's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he came alive.
Han Yuan secretly let out a sigh of relief - if this fat man doesn't understand, he will be stumped if he is as smart as he is.If that's the case, he can't grab the fat man by the ear, teach him how to frame him, and go to the academy to sue him, right?
It's really not easy.Facing this kind of pig opponent who is leaning on the wall with mud and can't harvest the head, it is very tiring.
All in all, all in all.
After a while, Han Yuan finally got his wish, and was dragged by the fat man to the gate of the academy.It's really gratifying.
【Hanbai】Mistake No. [-]
But the fat man finally thought of a way to frame the man in front of him after Han Yuan painstakingly reminded him.He didn't feel very proud, and felt that he was so smart.
"Hahaha, you stupid scholar! There are only a few people around in that corner - who knows who said which sentence? I think you are the one who said those outrageous words!"
A few helpers around him.I usually rely on flattering him to eat and drink, not a single good thing.Hearing this at this moment, they were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
"That's right, you are clearly the ones who slandered Lord Bai, the new number one scholar, and made up His Highness the Crown Prince's words!"
"That's right, our young master couldn't listen anymore, so he reprimanded you a few words! Why did you spout blood!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, the academy is in front of you, turn him away to see the official! I don't believe it, there is no king's law in this blue sky!"
"I don't even look at what kind of family our young master is. You are so poor and dare to shout at our young master!"
- Portal?What portal?
Han Yuan looked at the fat man up and down - he was dressed in fancy clothes, with a high toe, and a jade pendant tied around his waist in an arty manner, but unfortunately the big gold pendant underneath exposed his details.It seems that she is definitely not a prince or nobleman, let alone a scholarly family.
In all likelihood, he is a son of a merchant.
"From out of town?"
"what?"
"No wonder you're so stupid."
Han Yuan chuckled,
"There is a pig in the capital. Everyone knows that the emperor is at the foot of the emperor, the school lieutenant walks around, and the censors are as many as dogs. You can't be too strict in your words and actions, because you don't know who you offended."
The fat man's face turned red.He let out a "bah" and tugged at Han Yuan's collar,
"Who are you? You want to tell me who you are! Hahaha, I'm bluffing! Look at your tattered clothes. You don't even have a servant. What kind of big man are you? ?I bother!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Han Yuan's collar and went straight to the academy ahead.Han Yuan grinned and followed him without even struggling.
The foreigner is still a businessman.Being able to take the initiative to provoke this kind of strife in the officialdom, it seems that not only is the brain not very good, but there must be no effective backer behind him.Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing such a dirty job of being used as a gun.
The so-called stupid people, rich money, no one to cover - Han Yuan sneered in his heart, feeling that he was really lucky today.If such a fat sheep hits his hand, who will he cheat?
On the way, I don't know who the helpers behind him tripped Han Yuan.Han Yuan staggered, but he didn't fall down, and stood firmly with his long legs.But a bamboo number plate fell out of his arms and was picked up by the person on the side.
"Candidates? He still has a number plate..."
This number plate is one for each person, with only numbers but no names. It is the number of the examinee's examination room compartment during the original examination.You can't lose it after the exam, because when you get the title of the real gold list, you have to use it to claim the list.
——He...has he been admitted to Jinshi?Otherwise, why bring this to the gold list?
The fat man swallowed, and a wave of evil fire rushed to the top of his head - his family was well-off, he was a rich merchant family, and he was bent on arty imperial examinations to become an official.But he has taken the exam three times, for a whole ten years, he can't even get a Jinshi from the same background!That Bai Jiaoran Du Yuzhang is the son of a high official, he can't compare to him, but the scholar in front of him is so much younger than him, and his clothes are so shabby, he even stepped on his head!
How dare you look down on yourself... You're just poor, and you don't even have any background!Today I really want to do everything right, not only want him to beat the Jinshi he got, but also put him in prison and eat the imperial staff!He dared to be disrespectful to himself, he asked for it!
"You are really unlucky to meet me, you deserve it...hehe..."
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out this sentence.Han Yuan listened and squinted at him.
"Coincidentally, I thought so too."
The fat man didn't understand the meaning of Han Yuan's words at all.He dragged Han Yuan to the gate of the academy, and shouted at a group of examiners from afar,
"Master Examiner! This person is unworthy of virtue, the students should report him!"
In front of the noisy gold list, the idlers watching the list were frightened and shut up.
"what happened?"
"Surely someone actually went to the academy to sue someone?"
"What kind of enmity is this? Could it be that he stole his wife? Or dug his ancestral grave? Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case..."
Everyone was astonished.After all, for scholars, imperial examination fame is a lifetime career.Report it to the academy, and it is really verified. In that life, you will never want to be an official through the imperial examination.Dayan has been a country for hundreds of years, and few of them are so vicious—ruling people’s lives for nothing, isn’t it forcing them to fight you hard?
The examiners next to him were also surprised.
It's just that they were not surprised that someone would come here to find bad luck on this day when the results were released, accusing the candidates of misbehavior.
It's the person he dragged over, everyone knows - isn't this the disciple Bai Zhiyue just accepted, the precious Han Yuan?
Just because the exam is too close and there is no time to hold the apprenticeship ceremony, it is not considered a serious master and apprentice.That old bastard Bai Zhiyue dragged Han Yuan around from one examiner's mansion to another!That means, if you all recognize your face, I've decided on this kid.When the list is released and you find out that this is a good seed, don't think of any crooked thoughts, come and grab my disciple from me!
Just for this, they don't know how many times they have seen Han Yuan these days, especially this kid not only has a good attitude, but also has a sweet mouth, and his flattering skills are even more wonderful, and he applauds everywhere he goes.Bai Zhiyue didn't know how proud he was. It seemed that if he had a daughter, he would be betrothed to the Han family on the spot.
Seeing the rankings on the gold list in the morning, the examiners gathered together and lamented the injustice of the heavens - the son was born well and won the first place, this is incomparable.But you can pick up a good seedling in the officialdom just by boxing at home, and you can even get in the top three in the exam... How come such a good thing falls in the Bai family?
Of course they were surprised to hear that someone wanted to report Han Yuan.
what's the situation?
Report this—Yushitai Bai Zhiyue's future protégé, who has just made the list, the new star of the new department, the future star of Dayan's officialdom?What's the matter?Could it be that Bai Zhiyue committed a crime and will be dismissed tomorrow?Otherwise, how could there be someone so short-sighted, rubbing sand in the eyeballs of the court officials?
Examiners, you look at me, I look at you, each dumbfounded.
On the contrary, Han Yuan saw a few of them, with a respectful smile on his lips, and nodded politely.
The fat man was shocked when he saw the adults, and thought it was because of his righteousness.Complacent, he raised his voice,
"My lord examiner, the students want to report him! Please make a decision, my lords!"
"What? You... want to report him? I advise you to think twice, you know he is..."
One of the examiners, surnamed Huang, spoke as if he wanted to calm things down before he could speak.After all, when Bai Zhiyue was really proud of his spring breeze, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace admired his son very much, and everyone knew it.Especially this year, the kid was still up to the task and won the number one prize.The crown prince is the future emperor, and Bai Zhiyue is now a powerful minister, and I am afraid that he will be a powerful minister with two families in the future, and his status will rise to a higher level.Now is not a good time to offend Bai Zhiyue in the open.
Unexpectedly, Han Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile,
"Master examiner, please let him finish. I am also very interested. What does this brother want to report on me?"
After finishing speaking, he pulled the collar out of the fat man's hands, cupped his hands,
"Come on, brother, please speak."
"Don't think that if you treat me with three points of respect now, I won't sue you!"
The fat man thought that Han Yuan was afraid of him, and his aura grew even stronger.
"He bullied the examinees and was domineering. Just now he provoked and caused trouble on the sidelines. He even slandered Bai Zhi, Master Yue Bai, and today's new champion Bai Jiaoran!"
"What? He... slandered Lord Bai and Bai Jiaoran?"
The examiner's face froze.All eyes turned to Fatty, the eyes were full of pity and uncontrollable disgust for caring about the neurotic.It seemed that if there were not too many people watching the list, they would have been able to drive the fat man out on the spot.
"Really! What did he say just now that Lord Bai is playing for selfish reasons, so that his son Bai Jiaoran became the number one scholar! I couldn't listen to stop him, but instead he started to attack me—look, my lord, my newly bought robe was kicked by him Such a big footprint! I couldn't be more angry, and he also said that if I dare to sue the official, he will slander me and pour this basin of dirty water on my head! But my lord, I am definitely not scared by him. People who shrink back. Although our Lingxi royal family is in the cloth business, we have always passed on reading books, and the sages once warned us..."
This is just trying to please the examiners, trying to show their face in front of the examiners.
After all, this fat man is in business at home, and he has good calculations - he has safeguarded the reputation of the examiners, and the examiners will never treat him badly.He hurriedly reported his life experience to the public, in order to imply that the examiners would give them a chance to get along with each other—no official is not corrupt, and the examiners would not be troubled by money.The other party is just poor, and even a fool knows who to choose.
Although this time he came to slander Bai Zhiyue and the others, it was someone behind the scenes who set up a bridge and ordered him to do so.However, when Han Yuan got in the way, the expected effect was not achieved, and it is estimated that this thread could not be connected.
It just so happened that the examiners in front of me were all powerful.His family is willing to pay, if he can use this to climb up to some adult, won't the next imperial examination be a joke?
"What nonsense!"
Unexpectedly, the examiner surnamed Huang spoke again.
"You probably don't know that, in order to avoid suspicion, the adults in this court never take the main examination when their children are taking the imperial examination. This year, Lord Bai only asked about the affairs of the academy from the beginning to the end, and he never even took a step. This year's exam , We are all in charge. How could Mr. Bai cheat? As soon as I heard it, I knew that what you said was a lie."
"What your lord said is true, of course it is false! This poor man slanders Lord Bai so much..."
"Stop talking! Talking nonsense, you can kill your heart!"
Master Huang spoke suddenly, and stopped the fat man, apparently not wanting him to say a word.But Han Yuan suddenly said,
"Master Huang, please allow the students to report carefully."
"This……"
"Master Huang? Is there any reason why students can't express their difficulties here?"
Master Huang paused, his expression unnatural.But quickly laughed,
"Of course not. I just don't want this monster to confuse the public and have any bad influence on Lord Bai."
"Master Huang has worked hard, and the students understand."
Han Yuan smiled and spoke respectfully.But he still continued, with a particularly loud voice.
"I came to pick up the list today, but I heard someone slandering Mr. Bai with foul language. I have admired Mr. Bai for a long time, and I was not angry when I heard the words, so I naturally stopped. Unexpectedly, this person was not only unconvinced, but also threatened I said, unless I knelt down and begged for mercy, I would come to the academy to make a false accusation against me, turning what he said into black and white, and telling me to make up my own mind."
"There is such a thing?"
"There is such a thing."
Han Yuan nodded,
"I saw him turning black and white in front of the academy. I couldn't be more angry, so I kicked him. What he said was true. The students also know that they shouldn't fight in front of the academy, where the sages preach, so that the gentleness is swept away. .Student accepts punishment—Men examiners, the student is willing to accept the punishment and get rid of the merit according to the regulations of the academy!"
As soon as this remark came out, all the examiners gasped.
What are you kidding? !
Xinke explores flowers and gets rid of fame?Just because someone slandered his teacher, he saw injustice and maintained his dignity for the teacher?
Needless to say, it will offend Bai Zhiyue, this is a trivial matter!Just say that this is the national imperial examination ceremony, and His Majesty will personally intervene!Such a big event will definitely alarm the emperor!
The examiners are one head and two big.Pairs and pairs of eyes, all staring at the fat man resentfully - it's you who caused such a big trouble... You've brought us down, damn it!
Among them, Master Huang has the most vicious eyes.
【Hanbai】Mistake [-]
"Don't be impulsive. You are protecting the teacher. Of course, you can't just get rid of your reputation. I don't think your teacher will agree..."
"No, Mr. Bai is not my teacher. Although Mr. Bai has been kind to me and guided my articles, I have never paid homage to him."
Han Yuan immediately interrupted Mr. Huang's words, his voice was raised high, and he seemed very excited.It is just convenient for the idlers in front of the academy to hear these words.
"But Mr. Bai really has kindness to me! My family is poor, my father died young, and only an old mother is dependent on me. In the past, apart from studying, I sometimes help the workers in the fields, sometimes write letters for others, and do some odd jobs—although it is very difficult. I wanted to take part in the imperial examination, but I didn't know how to get in. That day I was working in the capital, and I got up in the morning to practice essays and solve the problems. I happened to be on the small road next to Mr. Bai's mansion, which disturbed Mr. Bai's cleanliness. Not only did he not blame me, he also Take me into the mansion to inquire about my situation, and introduce me to the way to take the imperial examination—if there is no Lord Bai, how could I, Han Yuan, be where I am today?"
What he said was really just and righteous - if he described it like this, Bai Zhiyue met Han Yuan by chance, cherished his talents, and introduced him into the examination room!Not only were they strangers before, but they also had no master-student relationship!So there is no such thing as forming a clique or acting for the benefit of one's own interests!
However, now Han Yuan really hasn't paid homage to Bai Zhiyue - Bai Zhiyue wanted to do it before, but he didn't have time.
So these words, that is a lie no.
Moreover, his attire really only belonged to poor people.That long gown was clean and straight, but there were several patches.The collar of the shirt has been washed white, and it can be seen that it has been worn for a long time, and it is extremely cherished.
Maybe this is his best outfit, right?
Onlookers are always imaginative.In particular, there are some aunts and aunts among them. At first, they liked Han Yuan because of his straight waist and handsome appearance.Hearing that he was born in a poor family, but he knows how to repay him, and he would rather not go forward to repay Master Bai's kindness, and he is even more moved.For a while, there was a buzzing discussion outside,
"Isn't this the sage character mentioned in the sage book?"
"That's right, the benefactor was slandered and didn't show up, so why should he be a coward?"
"He shouldn't be punished! That fat man over there should be punished! What's wrong with kicking him? This kind of person should be beaten—oh, this person is really ugly! It's really ugly!"
"Tell me, why does he have the guts to slander Mr. Bai? Could it be... There are treacherous ministers instigated behind him?"
Master Huang's expression became even uglier.
Those words just now were all about drawing Han Yuan's actions today to Bai Zhiyue's disciples.After all, if he was standing up for his own teacher, it would be a very different matter if he met with injustice.What's more, he won the third prize, and when he said intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the gossip about the fat man before he was beaten, maybe it would arouse the speculation of those who cared - oh, he won the third place, and he was also a member of Bai Zhiyue's sect.In the end, I heard others say that Bai Zhiyue's subordinate who won the first place had a problem, so I couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to hurt someone... What's going on?Could it be that he became angry from embarrassment because he was really hit by the rumor?
However, Han Yuan refused to accept the offer, and the first sentence cleared the relationship between him and Bai Zhiyue as a master and apprentice.There was even a farce of "no fame" - just kidding!Explore the flowers dignifiedly!It's not a hundred or so fellow Jinshi!Is it because you can just say no to it?
If this kind of thing happens, it means that the court has made an official move!If Han Yuan's reputation is really abolished, it means that the court publicly stated that even if someone slanders the court's official, he cannot take action to teach him a lesson;
Does he dare to take on this responsibility?Not to mention whether His Majesty will be furious with Longyan, just talking about Bai Zhiyue's side, he will definitely hold a grudge against him, seize this loophole, and let his gang of mad dog censors read his book to death!Does he dare to offend Bai Zhiyue?
If he dared...he wouldn't let this stupid fat man on the opposite side secretly fan the flames, but dare not come forward to confront Bai Zhiyue!
At this time, Han Yuan raised his head and cupped his hands at him.
"So Master Huang, the students don't want to embarrass you today. If this fame should be dismissed, you can make the decision."
--what happened?Did Han Yuan see anything?Otherwise, with so many examiners present, why insist on asking me to make up my mind?
"This, this, I still need to discuss with my colleagues..."
"Ah? So that's the case. I thought that only one master examiner would be able to decide whether to reward or punish students. It turns out that all adults need to decide together?"
"No, no, you are right! This kind of matter can be decided by an adult—Master Huang, do you see?"
Pian Han Yuan's words reminded others.No one wants to get involved in the matter of taking responsibility and easily offending others.Master Huang wants to share the responsibility equally, but they want Master Huang to stand alone.One of them even enthusiastically urged Master Huang to come,
"Today is special after all! It's an important day when the list is released, so many people are watching it! If you don't give a result, will it cause public criticism? Brother Huang, hurry up and give a result—Han Yuan's happy news is ready here , to give or not to give?"
Master Huang hadn't opened his mouth yet, but the spectators started booing.
"What, he was admitted to Jinshi? It's not easy to be admitted to Jinshi. He saw the gold list just now, right? But he can still stand up..."
"That's right! The fame you got! This is so touching... Such a person is not used by the court, but he has to be punished?"
"My lord didn't say that he would be punished! Don't talk nonsense! Such a person who values love and righteousness has become an official is our Dayan's blessing!"
"Speaking of which, the county magistrate over there is due to serve his term this year, will this little official come to our place to be the county magistrate..."
The person who said this was an elder sister, her face turned red when she spoke, and she didn't know what was going on in her heart.The female companion who came with her pushed her, and the two of them covered their mouths and laughed together.As a result, the eldest sister stopped talking, and her female companion was more courageous, asking directly,
"What's your name, little official? How many places did you win?"
Han Yuan smiled slightly and nodded to her.His voice was neither high nor low, but it was clearly audible.
"Under Hanyuan, the abyss of abyss."
He didn't say what number it was, but the gold list is there, and everyone has eyes.In an instant, the field froze for a moment, and the eyes of a group of people were busy looking at Jin Bang, confirming it again and again, and turning their eyes back to Han Yuan in an instant.
"third……"
"Really third?"
"Tanhualang!"
The crowd erupted, with red faces and bright eyes.It's like Han Yuan's high school prospecting, and they are also honored - Dayan people love to watch the excitement, and they prefer this kind of dramatic plot, which has existed since ancient times.
"Don't dare to be, dare not be. This Tanhua..." Han Yuan arched his hands outside the academy, with a bitter smile and a lower voice.He shook his head and said no more.
It was only then that everyone remembered that Han Yuan's Tanhua might be handed over to others before he could get it.
Soon, the noise in the crowd became even louder. Some were busy comforting Han Yuan, some were clamoring to ask the examiners to show mercy, some were spitting on the fat man, and some took advantage of the chaos to squeeze in and ask Han Yuan's place of origin and age. Whether they are married or not... All of a sudden, the sky boils.
Master Huang's face turned blue.The examiners on the side met each other's eyes, that was a tacit expression of watching the drama - they were all old foxes who had cultivated themselves in the officialdom, so at this time, can't it be seen that Han Yuan is building momentum?At this time, if anyone dares to change his reputation, he will not only have trouble with the Bai family, but also with the people of the capital!This kind of reckless thing, whoever does it will be unlucky, maybe it will be made into a traitorous minister tomorrow, and they will go to the restaurant to play it!
Fortunately, this unlucky job fell on Mr. Huang's head, and it has nothing to do with them.What a blessing.
Master Huang's expression changed constantly, his eyes moved from Han Yuan to the fat man, and then from the fat man to the excited onlookers.Finally, he finally made up his mind and said through gritted teeth,
"Han Yuan, what you did today, although impulsive, is not at fault - it was he who slandered the court officials first, and insulted your teacher second! So..."
"No, no, Mr. Huang is wrong again. That is not my teacher. Although if there is a chance, I really hope to be able to worship under Mr. Bai. I am afraid that I am dull, but I don't have this blessing. Hey, if If I can really fulfill my wish, I will definitely study hard under Lord Bai, love the people like a son like him, and devote myself to everything. Then my long-cherished wish will be fulfilled."
When Master Huang heard this, his face became even more ugly.
Sure enough, as he expected, the onlookers started booing again——
"Such a good disciple, good character and talent, why doesn't Master Bai want him?"
"Yes, yes, accept him."
"The teacher knows the truth, the student knows how to repay his kindness, but the student who is the top three in high school is willing to take action to protect the teacher's reputation. In the end, the teacher accepted this student as an apprentice, and he really became a master-student—oh, this is not only in the storybook. plot?"
...Sure enough, the onlookers all like legendary stories.Amid the waves of sound, Han Yuan smiled slightly.
He knew that the momentum had been created.In a few days, even if the news of his apprenticeship with Bai Zhiyue spreads from someone with a heart, it will not cause any backlash among these common people.No one would believe that he and Bai Zhiyue had a teacher-student agreement long ago—otherwise, why didn't he wait for the happy news at the teacher's house, but came here on foot in old clothes?
People will only believe the stories they want to believe.And now for this story, Han Yuan has already written the script, which has won applause from all the halls.
"..."
Master Huang took a deep look at Han Yuan and nodded.
"Sure enough, you are a malleable talent, as expected of Han Yuan. Although you are only a Tanhualang, this city and ability are outstanding. Han Yuan, I am looking forward to your performance in the court in the future! Good, good! Then Today I will be the master, I will not punish you! Get your good news soon, go back and report the good news to Master Bai!"
He said this with a smile, but he was facing Han Yuan, and Han Yuan could see that there was no smile in his eyes.But he nodded calmly and respectfully saluted,
"Thank you, Master Huang."
"As for you..."
Master Huang looked at the fat man, and this time the resentment in his eyes was not concealed.
"You dare to make trouble in front of the academy, swear words, and cause such a thing...Come here, take him to the back and wait for punishment!"
"What, don't! Don't, Master Huang! Master Huang, I have money, and I still have money to... woo woo woo!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lord Huang slapped him across the face and said angrily,
"You still want to bribe me? The crime is worse! Quick, take him down!"
Standing aside, Han Yuan was even more certain in his heart who was the instigator of this farce of spreading rumors.But he remained calm and just took half a step back to the side.
The fat man was walking past him when he was escorted down.As soon as he lifted his foot, he stumbled the fat man.
"what……"
Han Yuan stretched out his hand to help, as if it was just an unintentional mistake.After that, he smiled at the fat man and said something, still polite.It seems that he doesn't care about the matter just now.
Instead, the fat man's complexion suddenly changed, his eyes widened and his face was blue.
The two onlookers murmured secretly again, as if they were talking about something, "Sure enough, he is handsome and has a good heart, so magnanimous. Look at that ugly fat man, tsk tsk, he will stare at him even if you help him! "
No one heard Han Yuan's whisper to the fat man, but the content was not "careful" or "good for yourself".
But -
"Is it the Wang family in Lingxi? Han has remembered."
——I hope you can also remember Han.
——Because, I'm afraid we will still deal with each other in the future.
【Korean Bai】Mistake No. [-]
A series of coughing broke out, causing Han Yuan to suddenly open his eyes.The nomination day for the gold list in the distant memory just disappeared before his eyes.
In the dark night, the long candle has not been burned out.It was windy at night on the prairie, even though the tents were hung with heavy curtains, there was still a cool breeze pouring in, and the lights on the candles danced and danced, casting many grotesque shadows on the walls.
Han Yuan was stunned for a moment, then pulled up the quilt and covered his face inside.
I even dreamed of the day when the imperial examinations were released.
That time was the real starting point of his official career.After this battle, Bai Zhiyue admired him greatly, and escorted him from then on, protecting him all the way to the top.And he himself, relying on his ambition and full of talent, concentrates on people's livelihood to accumulate official reputation and gain fame among the common people;But in a few years, he let the whole court see with thunderous force how a rising star in the political arena is rising.
Until Li Guangning succeeded to the throne, he finally became the emperor's confidant and became his "eyes".Since then, he has shared countless secrets with His Majesty.
No matter how beautiful the scene in the court hall is, it can't compare with the sentence "Jane is in the emperor's heart".
His position is finally stable.
His ambition finally had a place to flourish.
He turned his head and wanted to say something to Bai Jiaoran - I can finally protect you, I can guarantee your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life, and a prosperous officialdom for the rest of your life.
but……
But along the way, he never paid attention to Bai Jiaoran's astonished eyes when he watched all this.
In the end, during that turbulent night, the relationship between the two gradually reached a stalemate, and finally they almost cut off contact.Master Han, who is proud of the spring breeze, always has a lot of traffic in his house, and those who want to visit him can line up from the front of the gate to the outside of the city gate.
But he can only see the side of his favorite person when he visits the White House during the holidays.
The day of the announcement...
Could it be that at that time, his ruthless style of acting had already written the first heavy shadow in Bai Jiaoran's heart?
To this day, that shadow still lingers.Let Bai Jiaoran say to him, "We have different paths and we don't seek each other, but you don't have to walk the same path with me."
Thinking of this, Han Yuan felt extremely bitter in his heart.After tossing and turning for a long time, I fell asleep again.At that time, the sky was a little white.
So he slept a little deeper, and directly missed the breakfast time.When Bai Jiaoran sat at the negotiating table in the tent on the grassland and greeted Su Rucheng politely, he hadn't come yet.
The seat around Bai Jiaoran was empty, as if a wall that made people feel at ease was missing suddenly.Make him restless, always unable to concentrate.
"Master Bai?"
"what?"
Bai Jiaoran was distracted again, and was awakened by Su Rucheng who was opposite him.He blushed and apologized again and again,
"Young Master Su, I'm really sorry. It's my fault."
"Are you tired? Sigh, you Dayan people are already weak, and you have come all the way here. How can you compare with me, who rides horses and hunts every day? Such high-intensity negotiations are really not suitable for you."
Su Rucheng didn't care, he just pushed the documents on the table casually,
"It's already the last day, and we have almost everything we need to talk about. If you want me to say, don't talk about it, and leave the rest to the people below, how about it?"
"This……"
——Actually, there is nothing wrong with it.
——No, to be precise, according to Dayan's practice, these trivial matters should be carried out by the officials below.
——Actually, Bai Jiaoran could have said this a long time ago, but he didn't.
He glanced at the empty seat next to him again, and sighed inwardly.If today's talk
