Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 79

No matter how skeptical the horse bandits are about life, in short, it proves that Tang Hang’s method is useful.

But the Sirius Army is not a chaotic horse bandit, and it is useless to use the horse bandit to practice hands if you want to compete with the Sirius Army.

At this time, Tang Heng came up with another method, and then elected a hundred people, led by Chi Yuan, trained in the same way, and then disrupted the two teams to form a new team to fight against each other regularly.

They all understand that all this is for the sake of recovering the land that should belong to their own rivers and mountains in the near future.

It was snowing again in the capital city at the end of the new year.

Soon after Pei Yunxiao handed in the results of this year’s official assessment, the Fang family’s impeachment was settled.

Like countless aristocratic families who were involved in power struggles, the Fang family also chose to save themselves by breaking their arms. The corrupt and unscrupulous Fang Shizi has become a stain that the Fang family is eager to erase. The second son of the Fang family’s obscurity quietly reveals his head, waiting for the opportunity to recover.

As soon as Fang’s family affairs were over, Pei Ling summoned Pei Yunxiao.

“Tell me, does this matter have anything to do with you?”

In the ancestral hall, Pei Yunxiao knelt in front of the ancestor’s tablet, and Pei Ling stood aside.

“It doesn’t matter.” Pei Yunxiao did not hesitate, even if he was kneeling, his back was still straight.

Pei Ling stared at her, but couldn’t tell the clue from her. He just doubted it because Pei Yunxiao and Lin Rui were indeed closer, but he had no evidence.

“It doesn’t matter?” Pei Ling deliberately tentatively said: “Why would it be so coincidental? Lin Rui’s daughter broke her front foot, and Fang’s son died on the back foot? Is it so embarrassing to die?”

Fame and honor are things that Confucian scholars and scholar-bureaucrats value extremely, so that the Fang family’s elder son died. It can be said that the person behind the operation was deliberately in the face of the lower family.

“Grandfather, I only rescued Miss Lin, and the others have nothing to do with me.” Pei Yunxiao said again.

“At that point in time, Fang Shizi robbed the daughter of the chief steward of Pei Mansion to enter the mansion. This incident was inherently tricky. Grandfather should know better than me. It is impossible for no one to manipulate it behind this!” Pei Yunxiao deliberately said Pei Ling’s suspicion led to political struggles.

“Fanzhou was hit by the disaster this time, the prefect was killed, and all four county magistrates were dismissed. At this time, whoever has the tightest eye on the position of Fanzhou is the most suspicious.”

After the incident in Fanzhou, the Fang family couldn’t take care of themselves. The Pei family didn’t dare to act rashly because Pei Yunxiao was appointed by the emperor. Only the Zhao family and the He family were fighting for the new prefect and county magistrate.

In the end, none of them won. The newly appointed prefect is an official from a declining family. He is a true cronies of the emperor, and his relationship with Huang Han and Liu Fou is even better. Among the four county magistrates, one fell into the Zhao family’s faction, one fell into the He’s capsule, and the other two were civil servants of the poor family.

When Pei Ling heard what Pei Yunxiao said, he naturally thought of Zhao and He.

Seeing that nothing came out of the temptation, Pei Ling no longer insisted, “When will Lin Rui return?”

At the beginning, Pei Yunxiao sent Lin Rui and his wife away to remove them from the murder of Fang Zhifu. Now that the matter is finished, of course they can be returned.

With Lin Rui in Pei’s mansion, Pei Yunxiao would feel more at ease.

“Miss Lin has just passed away, and Uncle Rui is in grief. Maybe he will be back when the new year is over.”

Pei Ling nodded and said: “Little Qi, no matter what you have done, I only warn you, don’t forget your bloodline clan! You should think about it here first, and then come out at dinner.”

Pei Yunxiao did not answer until Pei Ling left the ancestral hall.

How could she forget her clan bloodline? It’s because I can’t forget it, so I will go on!

One year passed so fast.

Last year, when I went to Beijing with my elder brother to rush for the exam, it was also snowy. Now that they are scattered around Kyushu with close classmates, they are separated from each other, and they can’t even ask if they are well…

Lin Rui came back just before the Chinese New Year, with a night of gray hair and a face that was aging in an instant.

Facing Pei Ling, he seemed to respect and admire as always, but it seemed that everything was no longer the same. And Pei Hong inevitably had a grudge against him, but Lin Rui didn’t care.

There were two unexpected people who came back with Lin Rui.

“Brother Mu Yuan!” The moment he saw Pei Xian, Pei Yunxiao’s childhood seemed to have returned in an instant.

After only a year in the officialdom, Pei Yunxiao only felt that his body was getting harder and his heart was more cold. The softness of the old boy was blown away by the wind sometime, and disappeared without a trace.

It wasn’t until I met Pei Xian that she felt that she had never changed, and she was still what she once looked like.

“Little Qi!” Pei Xian came forward, holding Pei Yunxiao’s hand, his expression was extremely moved.

He came to Beijing for scientific research.

Three years ago, when Pei Yunxiao was ordered to investigate the Jiangnan private salt case, his father was involved. Pei Yunxiao was intolerant and forced the patriarch to open an ancestral hall to deal with his father.

Because of his filial piety, Pei Xian delayed the imperial examination for three years.

For three years, the old friends are no longer what they used to be.

“Little Qi, this is my concubine.” Pei Xian brought out a beautiful girl behind him.

Pei Yunxiao looked over, the girl was gorgeous and charming, but her brows were pure and calm, presumably this was her distant aunt-Pei Jiao.

“My aunt is well.” Pei Yunxiao saw him.

Called an aunt by a man older than herself, Pei Jiao blushed, but instead bowed to Pei Yunxiao as a woman.

Anyway, the relatives of the two are also around, and Pei Yunxiao and Pei Xian are brothers, so they don’t stick to politeness.

Pei Yunxiao called to Jinmiao: “Jinmiao, take my aunt to the fourth sister, and the fifth sister will settle down well.”

“Brother Mu Yuan, let’s go in and say.”

After sitting down, Pei Xian talked about the reason why he brought Pei Jiao to Beijing with him.

“Xiao Qi also knows that I am just such a younger sister, although she was not born of the same mother, but she was loved since childhood. As soon as I left home, she was the only one left at home. In Tongyang…I was afraid that she would be bullied.”

“I understand.” Pei Yunxiao understood deeply: “Brother Mu Yuan can rest assured, since he is here in the capital, he will stay at ease. I will take care of everything for you.”

“Then I can only trouble Xiao Qi.” Pei Xian said gratefully.

“Actually, when I entered Beijing this time, I also deliberately chose a husband-in-law for Jiaojiao. Three years ago, Jiaojiao was already negotiating marriage, but it’s a pity that my dad’s eyes are above the top, so lofty…”

“This time, I don’t ask for a house of noble gentry and noble gentry. I only ask for a righteous gentleman who has both ability and political integrity. It’s good to treat her well.” Pei Xian said.

“In this way, no matter what I will do in the future, whether I stay in Beijing or not, I can rest assured.”

“Brother Mu Yuan, don’t worry.” Pei Yunxiao said: “I promised three years ago that I will find a good relationship for Aunt Jiaojiao, and I will do what I say!”

“It is the time when talents from all over the country gather in the capital. There are also many princes in Beijing. I will definitely order people to visit and investigate to ensure that the family is innocent and clean. Then I will ask Aunt Jiaojiao’s feelings.”

Pei Yunxiao took it all on himself.

The main reason is that if you don’t care about this matter, once Pei Hong or the three masters of Pei’s family intervene, Pei Jiao will become the **** of the marriage and will no longer have the right to marry independently.

Pei Xian was grateful again after listening.

Pei Xian and Pei Jiao stayed in Pei’s mansion just like that.

Pei Xian wants to study, and Pei Jiao and Pei Yunxiao’s two younger sisters, and Hua Yunyang, who always ran to Pei’s mansion when there is nothing to do, have gradually become friends who talk about everything.

Pei Yunxiao naturally didn’t care about the girl’s family. The rest of the Pei family, including Pei Xian, didn’t take it as a matter, but thought it was just making friends between girls.

As a result, no one paid attention to how Hua Yunyang, who perfectly inherited Pei Yunxiao’s “rebellious” mantle, “brainwashed” the other three girls, refreshed their understanding of the world, and brought them one after another. On the line of “betrayal from the classics”.

Of course, this is a story.

Nowadays, the most important thing for Pei Yunxiao is-she has been promoted!

It’s not common for new graduates to be promoted after only one year in office.

But think about Pei Yunxiao’s family background, think about the emperor’s favor, and think about her ability and fame, and the people in the court will not be surprised.

Pei Yunxiao was transferred to Zhongshu Province by the emperor.

Although he has only been promoted by half a level, he is only a fifth-grade middle school scholar. But this is the emperor’s close minister, in charge of the country’s confidential government affairs, participating in the proposal, and it is almost indistinguishable from the trivial examination of the meritocracy.

In the test of merit, Yang Jian finally took the position of the doctor after being buried for five years.

Only then did Pei Yunxiao figure out the intention of the emperor’s previous arrangements.

The official department is the sphere of influence of the Pei family. With Pei Yunxiao as a bridge, the emperor succeeded in getting his own person to win the most important of the four departments of the official department.

And Pei Yunxiao, from the beginning, the emperor wanted her to enter Zhongshu Province, which was the center of power.

Only here can Pei Yunxiao cultivate his power faster and more conveniently.

And the last thing that Pei Yunxiao left the official department was actually-to be the deputy examiner for this year’s provincial and palace examinations!

The Dali imperial examinations have always been in charge of the staff department, but historically, the chief and deputy examiners have to choose senior officials named Confucianism. At such a young age as Pei Yunxiao, both talents and status are not qualified. There is no precedent for the scoring officer.

Therefore, as soon as the emperor mentioned this matter, Pei Yunxiao shied away without even thinking about it.

She has always believed that the high probability of falling from the sky will not be the pie, but the iron pan.

But Pei Ling obviously had premeditated this matter.

“Little Qi, there have been too many things before. I wanted to make a marriage appointment for you as soon as possible, but it was also delayed. The old man is bound to be an official in a few years. You also know the virtues of your father and second uncle and third uncle. You can’t carry the pillars of the Pei family as soon as possible, so why are you worthy of the ancestors of the Pei family?”

“Grandfather, is this a bit too anxious?”

I don’t know if Pei Ling suddenly found out that he was old, or because of the Fang family’s accident, Pei Yunxiao discovered that Pei Ling seems to be acting a little impatient now, as if he was afraid of long nights and dreams.

Could it be that Pei Ling wanted to take advantage of his authority to forcefully suppress that he had to charge for the glory and power of the Pei clan? Pei Yunxiao thinks about it, and thinks it’s very likely.

But Pei Yunxiao did not want to compromise: “Grandfather, your Majesty has transferred many officials during the new year. Master Huang Han was transferred from the Ministry of Industry to Hanlin to assume the decree, and Master Liu Feng was also transferred from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to the Ministry of Education, and I just transferred. Zhongshu, at this time, it is the time when the wind is the most intense.”

“You also know that now the two Zhongshu servants, one Zhao Xiwen and the other He Can, are both my superiors. After Fanzhou, Zhao and He made it clear that they had joined hands. You recommended me to do the secondary exam, not to say whether or not. This is the position that conforms to customization, which is really eye-catching!”

“The old man wants you to be eye-catching!” Pei Ling said:

“Can’t you see that your Majesty is becoming more and more intolerant of the Pei family now? He acquiesced to the Zhao family and the He family to join forces. I never said anything. He was afraid of the head and tail to crush Huang Han and Liu Feng for seven years, and suddenly let the two of them. I have never objected to being transferred to the three provinces.”

“Now my Pei’s has been attacked from all sides, if you don’t respond, have you thought about the consequences?”

“Xiao Qi, I warned you, don’t forget your clan bloodline! Don’t forget, if Pei’s fall, you will also be nothing!”

Pei Yunxiao was shocked.

The author has something to say: Note: ① The imperial examination of the official department in the early period of the Tang Dynasty is quoted in this article.

② Both the Hanlin Academy and the Chinese Academy of Sciences both have the powers to draft edicts. In history, the Hanlin Academy is often more trusted by the emperor than the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Both the Hanlin Academy and the Chinese Academy of Sciences may become the future prime ministers.
