() By June, the rumors about Princess Yuzhen finally seemed to have come to nothing. Cui Linzhi, who claimed to be recommended by the princess, became the laughing stock of the Imperial Academy. However, he seemed to no longer care about his reputation and continued to go his own way.

, in a sense, this direct descendant of the famous Bolingcui family still has a big heart.

Comparing the two, Wang Wei's reputation is even louder. After all, he played a great and upright role in this incident. He did not flatter the powerful, was upright and had character. He was indeed a model of celebrities, which made many

The big names in the literary world who heard about this were all very impressed.

After Wang Wei announced in a high-profile manner that he would participate in next year's provincial examination, many people have already concluded that Wang Wei can definitely take the first place in one fell swoop.

Wang Wei didn't know that he had offended Princess Yuzhen. After King Qi told Princess Yuzhen about his conspiracy against Wang Wei, Li Chiying agreed without hesitation. In her eyes, no matter how outstanding Wang Wei's talent was,

, if she touches her reverse scale, she will have to learn a lesson, and this time she will give Wang Wei, who is already famous in Chang'an, a blow to the head.

If he hadn't still figured out his sister's attitude towards Wang Wei, Li Chiying would have wanted to ban Wang Wei directly and let him be a poet for the rest of his life, even blocking his way into officialdom. Didn't Wang Wei think that he could solve everything with his talent?

No, that's too naive!

Anyway, Princess Yuzhen will definitely make Wang Wei look good in next year's imperial examination. After understanding Wang Wei's predicament, she became unscrupulous. After all, Wang Wei didn't have a big backing, so he couldn't do whatever he wanted.

King Qi Li Fan had no objection to Princess Yuzhen's decision. Even though he did appreciate Wang Wei's talent, he did not think Wang Wei had any talent for governing the country, so he had no pressure to block Wang Wei's path to becoming an official.

In the eyes of King Qi and Princess Yuzhen, Wang Wei is just a clown who cannot stand on the stage. No matter how amazing his poetry is, how superb his painting skills, and how famous he is, these things are just tools to please them.

At this time, another incident attracted the attention of many people who paid attention to political current affairs. Pei Yaoqing, the magistrate of Chang'an County, actually reformed the household allocation and municipal laws that had been implemented in Chang'an County amidst a lot of opposition, causing an uproar.

Chang'an County is an important area of ​​the capital. Due to the needs of the imperial palace and the government, Chang'an County has always implemented household allocation and municipal laws, that is, the purchase of property on a household basis in the name of the government. The poor people suffered greatly because the people often had no property to buy, and even if

Being purchased by the government may also lead to exploitation by officials. So Pei Yaoqing, who had just taken office, decided to recruit only wealthy families and promised to pay them. He believed that this could solve the problem and benefit both public and private interests.

It's just that many wealthy families did not think carefully about the benefits and objected vigorously. They believed that the money given by the court was not enough to buy their property, and it was really troublesome to deal with the officials, so they used "ancestors"

"The law cannot be changed" to obstruct Pei Yaoqing's reforms.

Behind these wealthy families, there are still many hidden shadows. Perhaps they can see the advantages of reforming the municipal law for the lower class people, but as vested interests, they believe that they cannot make this bad start. Once

If it is opened, maybe changes in the future will harm their interests even more.

If many people didn't know who was behind Pei Yaoqing, then the memorial to impeach Pei Yaoqing would definitely fly up like snow flakes, such as "unauthorized changes... causing public resentment and complaints", etc. In fact, the real "people" It is impossible for the complaints to reach the ears of the emperor, so the "people" here are all wealthy families who think that their own interests will be harmed.

There are also many opponents, taking Wannian County opposite Chang'an County as an example, they think that everything in Wannian County is still business as usual. Why do you, Pei Yaoqing, dictate things in Chang'an County?

Both Chang'an County and Wannian County are under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Yin. The magistrate of Wannian County is the former prime minister of Jingzhao Yin Yuan Qianyao. Yuan Qianyao adopts an attitude of neither support nor opposition to Pei Yaoqing, so he cannot let Wan Qianyao. The county magistrate also imitated Pei Yaoqing's reforms.

After all, Yuan Qianyao is not enthusiastic about this kind of change. He is a person who pursues stability. When he was the prime minister, he also tried not to offend anyone. He was very smooth, but he was not as smooth as Yao Chong in not offending anyone and solving the problem satisfactorily. The method of doing all things is simply to do nothing, not seeking merit but seeking no faults.

The obstruction of Pei Yaoqing's reform can be seen as a signal. Those with vested interests who were sitting back and watching Song Jing eliminate the long-standing abuses have felt that they can no longer let Song Jing let go. If they continue to "remove the long-standing abuses", even their interests will be offended. How could such a thing be allowed to happen?

When Wei Zhi learned the news, he couldn't help but think of what Wang Wei said to him in Furong Garden that day. He couldn't help but admire Wang Wei's political sensitivity even more. He almost predicted that this kind of thing would happen today. Since Encountering such a big resistance, according to Song Jing's resolute character, someone will definitely have to do surgery...

Wei Zhi thought that the time had come, so he secretly submitted a greeting letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He didn't know whether Song Jing was really upset by the opposition, or Wei Zhi's timing of sending the greeting letter was so perfect that he actually got an overnight summons from Song Jing. , even though the Wei family and Song Jing had a good relationship in private, Wei Zhi still felt flattered.

But on this night, Wang Wei had that dream again.

He became a spectator again, and this time the details were richer.

He saw that "he", who had already failed the imperial examination, kept wandering among the powerful in the second year, groveling, and using poetry, painting, and music to make the powerful smile.

He fully thought that he had received extraordinary attention from King Qi this year and was enough to pass the provincial examination. Just when he was full of ambition and wanted to win the crown, he suddenly heard that a poet, Zhang Jiugao, had obtained the promise of ranking first in the palace examination through the Ninth Princess.

If it were him in the past, he would definitely not believe such gossip, but after experiencing setbacks, he had already understood that some things were not nonsense, so he was helpless and anxious, and completely told the matter to his most trusted person. King Qi.

Wang Wei, who seemed to be watching an old documentary at this time, clearly saw a look of successful scheming flash across King Qi's graceful cheeks, and then hid it perfectly... But he was not seen in the documentary. , just hoping that King Qi can think of a solution for him.

The whole dream can be summed up as follows:

Wang Wei, who was still young and had a good reputation, was famous for his articles. He had a good temperament and was good at playing the pipa. He traveled among the nobles and was especially favored by King Qi.

At that time, Zhang Jiugao, a Jinshi, claimed that he had a very high status, and if a guest came in or out of the princess's house, he would send him to the princess's town. The Secretary of State issued a document to the Imperial Examination Officer, ordering Jiugao to be the leader. General Wei Fang should be promoted and tell King Qi about his affairs. Still asking for shelter.

King Qi said: "Your Majesty is so strong that you can't compete with me. I will paint it for you. If your old poems are pure and clear, you can record ten of them, and if you play the pipa with new sounds of resentment, you can record one song. I will do this in the next five days."

Weiji arrived as scheduled.

King Qi said: "I invite you to pay homage to your lord as a scholar. How can you see this? Can you teach me what I teach you?"

Wei said: "I obey my order."

King Qi immediately brought out splendid clothes and strange flowers, and sent Wei Yi to wear them. He also ordered Lai Pipa to go to the princess's house with him. King Qi came in and said, "I welcome your lord to come out, bring wine and music, and serve a banquet."

When the banquet is held, all the actors and actresses come in. They are all white in the year of beauty, and they are all beautiful in appearance, standing on the road.

The princess looked at him and asked King Qi, "Who is this?" She replied, "He is a close friend."

The new song was played solo, the tone was mournful, and the whole audience was moved. The princess asked herself: "What is the name of this song?"

Wei Qi said: "The name is "Yulun Pao"." The princess was very surprised. King Qi said: "In this life, there is no music rhythm, and as for the study of Ci, there is no one else." The princess was especially surprised, and said: "You have something to do. Wenhu?"

Wei Ji published a volume of poems in his arms.

When the princess read it, she was horrified and said: "I have always recited and practiced these poems. They are often said to be the masterpieces of the ancients. Is this what I did?"

Because he ordered the guests to change their clothes and go to the right, he maintained a romantic and elegant manner, and his language was humorous, which greatly attracted the attention of the nobles.

King Qi said: "If the capital is auspicious, this year will be the first time in this life, and it will truly be the glory of the country."

The princess said: "Why not leave it to the test?"

King Qi said: "In this life, I will not be the first to recommend you, and my righteousness will not be tested. However, I have accepted your order and entrusted Zhang Jiugao."

The princess smiled and said: "Why do you worry about children? They are entrusted by others."

Gu Weiwei said: "Zi Cheng's answer should be Zi Li."

Wei thanked her humbly, and the princess summoned the examiner to the throne and sent her maids to teach him. Wei then made a sacrifice and ascended to the throne in one fell swoop.

Wang Wei woke up from his dream all of a sudden. The dream up to this point was enough, and the rest was something he really didn't want to experience again.

But based on the details in the dream, Wang Wei could be sure that the news about Zhang Jiugao was also specially arranged. King Qi was highly suspicious, but why did he lure Wang Wei to visit the princess? In the dream, it seemed that the jade The real princess is quite serious. She just appreciates his talent and doesn't do anything extraordinary...

Wait... It's also possible that Princess Yuzhen is well aware of "Wang Wei's" character and is confident that she will eat him to death, so she first gives enough benefits to paralyze "Wang Wei" and then takes action. That's too happy. The prime minister's official position may also have been arranged by Princess Yuzhen, because after becoming Tai Lecheng, he can manage the royal orchestra and meet Princess Yuzhen easily.

Naturally, the "Wang Wei" in the dream couldn't figure out why he, a top scholar, would become a minister like Tai Lecheng. He thought it was because he was jealous, so he secretly made Tiaozi um, so the number one scholar... This feedback in the dream almost made Wang Wei almost misled at this time.

Sure enough, this Princess Yuzhen is not a good thing! It seems that in history, Wang Wei, Tai Lecheng, did not serve as an official for too long. Could it be that Princess Yuzhen later asked for remuneration (**?) and got angry, so she directly killed Wang Wei's official Tai Lecheng lost it? After all, when Wang Wei's official fortune changed, it should be when Zhang Jiuling was in power, and Zhang Jiuling still doesn't know where he is...

Of course Wang Wei can't guess the cause and effect of the matter now. If this dream of "foreseeing the future" continues, he will definitely be able to deduce some clues based on the situation in the dream. But he should be more careful not to be fooled by "Wang Wei" in the dream.

Misled by his thoughts, he thought that "Wang Wei" was really simply powerful.

He absolutely wants to change "his" destiny.
