Chapter 23 School Examination

In addition to making great contributions to the country, Xue Chongxun also gained the trust of Princess Taiping, and became a popular commodity.

So Dou Huaizhen took the little thing he hinted at Dou Huaizhen in Zichen Hall, and he sent an acquaintance to Yuwen's house to take the school exam that day.

This man was named Zhou Bin, and it would not be abrupt to let him visit him. Otherwise, the prime minister like Dou Huaizhen would have personally entered the gate of a small official who had little knowledge, which would have had a great impact.

(The central administration of the Tang Dynasty inherited the three provinces and six ministries system, and the real power institutions were mainly three provinces and six ministries one; the six ministries belonged to the Secretariat, and their functions were to implement the central government’s decisions and government orders.)

Zhou Bin was in the Menxia Province and Yu Wenxiao was in the Shangshu Province. There were thousands of officials in the capital, so Yu Wenxiao didn't know this person at all.After receiving the famous post, Yu Wenxiao was not negligent and personally welcomed the gate.

The whole story of the palace transformation, Yu Wenxiao just heard the whole story, and suddenly a colleague whom he didn't know came to the door today, and he had already guessed something.

The incident has not yet ended, and Li Longji failed to catch it.

I heard that there had been progress. I found that dozens of people fled south, and most of them were going to escape to Zhongnan Mountain to hide. People who have failed coups have always liked to escape there, but in the end they were rarely caught.

……

Zhou Bin knew that this person had a backstage, so he became very polite in his words, and he bowed and bowed: I heard from my friend that Duke Yuwen has great achievements in criminal law. Although I was in the school, I used to be a local judge and came to my door privately today, so I was a friend.

Yu Wenxiao looked at Zhou Bin's face secretly. He had high cheekbones, thin cheeks, and a pale face. This was a bit inconsistent with the positive image of Tianyuan Place in the Tang Dynasty...

Moreover, this person does not look for other interfaces, and he talks about criminal law.

Yuwen Xiao believes that this is a manifestation of the exposing of hostility.

This is because before Zhou Bin came, he heard Dou Huaizhen mention that both the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Prefecture were vacant, so Zhou Bin thought that Yuwen Xiao would probably be promoted to the above two departments and just to meet his preferences.

The two of them politely made a fuss when they saw each other, and Yuwen Xiao welcomed him into the yard. As soon as he entered the foyer, Zhou Bin was stunned: the food in the yard was full of food. He smiled bitterly and said: Others plant flowers, why are you using Yuwen Gong planted so many vegetables?

You should know that it is impossible for a person who can own such a big house in the north of the city to be short of money. Many small officials with no money can only rent a house or live in the south of the city.

Yuwen Xiao is located near Qianfu Temple to the northwest of Chang'an, not far from the west market, and the land price is not low.

Although the door of their home is painted black and the house inside is not so gorgeous, it is indeed big, with a yard of food; there is a wall to the north, and it seems that there is a yard inside.

Yu Wenxiao smiled, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper: I was in a down-and-out year, suffered a lot of hardships, and developed the habit of working. If I don’t do some hard work for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over.

Zhou Bin was speechless. He was neither studying nor practicing martial arts as an official, and he grew vegetables, and was a little old. I really didn't know what kind of future this person had.

Yuwen Xiao smiled and looked like a simple old farmer, but his eyes were not muddy and he was in good spirits.

Who knows what kind of person he is?

Perhaps people who are too indifferent to life like to do some ordinary trivial matters.

He said again: The little girl is studying medicine and wants to grow medicinal herbs in the yard. How many arguments have she had with me?Now we are both father and daughter, and we grow medicine in the yard inside and vegetables outside, haha.

Zhou Bin shook his head gently and said: Is it your daughter who is willing to work in the Imperial Medical Office?

Yuwen Xiaodao: Sometimes she would go to Taichang Temple, but what kind of official can a female person be?

oh?Zhou Bin suddenly remembered something, is the name of the daughter Yuwen Ji?

Yu Wenxiao said lightly: That's right.

Zhou Bin's eyes suddenly widened: Ah!After a long time of admiration, the miracle doctor is the only disciple in the world who has received the true teachings of Li Guishou!

What surprised Zhou Bin was not Yu Wen Ji's master. Li Gui had a name but no power, so he was useful; he was amazed at the fact that Yu Wen Ji and Xue Chongxun were both involved.

Not many people knew about it before, but recently Xue Chongxun suddenly became famous, and more people paid attention to the rumors about him. Zhou Bin also happened to hear some...

If you think about it in this way, no wonder Dou Huaizhen personally took care of Yuwen Xiao. So that's the case!

Zhou Bin said incoherently: Duke Yuwen, you are about to send it!The lower official's name is Zhou Bin...

Yuwen Xiao said calmly: Alas, you can’t do it, you and I are at the same level, how can you call yourself a lower-ranking official?This is what outsiders have heard, so don’t impeach me?

Zhou Bin bowed and said: "Teach, you will be promoted in a few days. You will be called like this now, so you can avoid changing your words in two days. In the future, I hope Duke Yuwen will give you more advice and support you.

Yuwen Xiao walked slowly and said: Brother Zhou is so serious... By the way, you must be the only one who can come to the school today, right?

Zhou Bin hurriedly said: Yuwen Gong is both moral and talented, and is quiet to cultivate oneself and frugal to cultivate one's virtue, be indifferent and clear ambitions, and be quiet and far-reaching.Look at the dishes in the yard... Among the ministers, the only one who can compete with Duke Yuwen's morality is probably Lu Xianggong Ah!If you don’t hit a smart phone in front of the real person, the official said clearly that Mr. Dou just wants to find out your tone. The Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Mansion, where do you want to go to? No matter how you choose!

It's so cool, Zhou Bin is so envious that his intestines are red.

Although Yu Wenxiao pretended to be elegant, he could not hide the joy in his heart. The so-called real man should not be powerless for a day, and a young man should not be money for a day. He has experienced it deeply for so many years.

If you are unknown and suffer all kinds of leisure, what is the fun of life?

Go into the house to have tea.

Yuwenxiao pointed to a cottage in the vegetable field and took Zhou Bin in. He saw an unpainted wooden table, several wooden stools, and a earthen stove next to it to boil water.

Yuwenxiao wanted to make tea, but Zhou Bin hurriedly came over and said: You sit down, I'll do it.

Yu Wenxiao pondered for a moment: The Ministry of Justice is in charge of laws and regulations, criminal laws, and the policy of obeying and banning.I read less, and I can't sit still in the place.However, Jingzhao Prefecture... I heard that the Duke of Wei has recommended the Prime Minister Li to the cabinet. It seems that the official in this yamen is well-received, and it is still very promising. Isn't the Prime Minister Li a precedent?

Zhou Bin whispered: Yuwen Gongming Jian, if Li Shouyi became the prime minister, he naturally could not be the prefect of Jingzhao anymore. He had never been the same as the subordinate of the Secretariat. However, if Li Shouyi left office, you could not be the prefect of Jingzhao directly. As it was not a good thing to be promoted too quickly.

Yu Wenxiao smiled heartily.Zhou Bin hurriedly said: The official said the wrong thing and talked too much. Can Duke Yuwen still not understand such a thing?

Yuwen Xiao smiled and said: Brother Zhou, tell me this principle: I am all officials, what is the difference between those with ways and those with no ways?

Zhou Bin pondered: It depends on who he is. If an ordinary person has no way to become an official a few years ago, it will still be like that a few years later. If you are not careful, you may not know how you get in; it will be different if you have a way to go. No matter whether you have a way to go, no one will remember you?

Yu Wenxiao gently brushed his chin with his beard: Then why do you think I'm in a hurry?

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

After seeing Zhou Bin off, Yuwenxiao returned home and met his daughter Yuwenji, and he said: By the way, you can take care of it when you have time. Our family needs to add two more places, otherwise all the fish and shrimps will be drilled into it in the future. How can I have time to grow vegetables?

Yuwen Ji felt a little ridiculous: Dad is going to be promoted, so is he going to be a slap in office?

The old man looked a little embarrassed: No big or small!Don’t mess with the flowers and plants every day. Can’t you find an opportunity to get to know Princess Taiping in Zhenguo?She is the most important thing at her age to maintain her body and skin care. If you have a reputation, how can you not have a chance?

Yuwen Ji shook her head and smiled bitterly.

The old man sighed: I see that among the people from Dalang of the Xue family, he told me not to interact with him last time. It turned out that there was a deep meaning: he knew something big happened and was unwilling to implicate us!Now I think I feel a little sad. I didn’t help or contribute any credit. It’s the saying that I don’t receive any rewards, but as soon as the matter was over, I remember to do it from multiple sources.Kind, not very old, and very independent in doing things... You have to hurry up, believe in my vision, and find it if you miss it!

Yuwen Ji turned around and walked outside: Isn’t it just giving you such a little benefit? It’s useless to say so much, it’s vulgar!

You... the old man pointed at her and said angrily, where are you going again!

Yuwen Ji said without looking back: Looking for an opportunity to meet His Highness Taiping, the Princess Zhenguo you admire.

Old man: ...

Yuwen Ji was wearing a narrow collar and robe neatly. When she arrived at the stable, she took a horse and turned over to the horse. With a delicate shout, the horse raised its hooves and left.

I just walked to Gushi Lane, and by chance, I met Xue Chongxun.

I saw a group of iron-armored cavalry coming towards me on the street, and all the pedestrians retreated. Xue Chongxun rode on a tall white horse in bright armor, looking very proud. Even his horse was swaying with his head held high, as if pretending to be pretending.

Yuwen Ji... Xue Chongxun saw her and shouted from a distance.

Yuwen Ji was in a complicated mood and turned her head and left.

Later, Xue Chongxun left the guard, rode his horse to chase him, and asked: Are you still angry about what happened last time?I have my own difficulties when I go back to Beijing and ignore you. It’s a complete misunderstanding.

Don't find reasons!

Yuwen Ji said coquettishly, pretending to ignore him, and still riding his horse, but he obviously slowed down and said angrily, don’t think you are proud, I’m going to stick to you, hum!

Xue Chongxun sighed and said: Where are you going?

Yuwen Ji was distracted and forgot what she wanted to do when she came out... She said angrily: Go marry your princess, what do I care about?

Xue Chongxun looked at the smooth curves under her tight robe, smashed her dry lips and said: I am about to be the king bird. I can marry a few princesses at that time. Once the opportunity comes, I will be the princess.

Not rare!Yuwen Ji kicked the horse gently and the horse ran out, and Xue Chongxun hurriedly followed.
