The next day, Cui Weizhen packed his bags and set off for Xiangguo Temple.
When Ye Zhenzhen was packing the package, she deliberately damaged it and packed Cui Weizhen's unique underwear with a unique story. Cui Weizhen's expression at that time was very exciting, and the scene was enough to make her secretly happy for a long time.
This time Cui Weizhen will take Hong Zhiyuan with him to Xiangguo Temple. His main purpose is to avoid the society of Jinke scholars. There are also many scholars living in Xiangguo Temple, so Ye Zhenzhen specially reminded Hong Zhiyuan to remember not to
Let irrelevant people disturb Cui Weizhen's painting.
Hong Zhiyuan followed Cui Weizhen and learned a bit of his magnanimity and style. He cautiously obeyed Ye Zhenzhen's instructions. He was smart and intelligent, so he knew how to adapt, so there was no need to worry too much.
In this way, with reluctance and worry, Ye Zhenzhen sent Cui Weizhen away.
Aunt Cui believed in Buddhism and felt that Cui Weizhen's painting for the Buddha was a great blessing. Even though she might not be able to see her son for half a month, she didn't feel much reluctance to leave her son. She even thought of comforting Ye Zhenzhen and teased her.
I had to laugh and cry.
It was best to keep the outside affairs secret from Aunt Cui. Ye Zhenzhen did not reveal too much. She continued to ask the doctor to check her body and prescribe medicines for her health. In conjunction with Ye Zhenzhen's medicinal diet, she officially began to live a life behind closed doors.
.
Even so, the concierge received many invitations to Cui Weizhen every day to participate in poetry performances or spring outings, and even invitations to visit her. Ye Zhenzhen declined them all politely, because the reasons were legitimate and the words were polite, but she didn't.
What kind of dissatisfaction and resentment is caused?
After declining the guests, external news began to lag, but she often communicated with Chu Ningyan, Mo Qingwei and Qin Yuyuan, so she was able to know a little bit about the trends.
Because of Cui Weizhen's move to avoid Xiangguo Temple, Ye Zhenzhen had been worried. She wanted to know as much as possible about the dynamics of the capital, so she sent Zhang San to inquire about the news.
Zhang San grew up in the market, and he was most familiar with the methods of various religions and heretical practices. He actually got some news - there were vague rumors in the market that someone among the scholars in Jinke was cheating, but who was it?
Can't find out anymore.
Even so, it was enough to make Ye Zhenzhen horrified. The imperial examination fraud case was indeed a forbidden area. The matter was so big that it was no wonder that Cui Weizhen wanted to avoid it.
Ye Zhenzhen felt a chill in her heart. She realized the seriousness of the problem and acted more cautiously. She even reduced her correspondence with Qin Yuyuan and others, and tried to minimize her involvement with relevant people.
On the other side, Cui Weizhen was not as quiet and inactive as Ye Zhenzhen thought.
He and the king of Wei sat under a pine tree and played chess. The king of Wei held the black stone, and he held the white stone. The white stone occupied half of the country, forcing the black stone to retreat steadily. In the end, he was surrounded on all sides and had no way out.
King Wei put down the chess piece helplessly, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Wei Zhen, your chess skills have become more and more sophisticated. I am willing to give you the upper hand."
Cui Weizhen picked up the chess pieces slowly, "It's not that the students have improved their chess skills, but that His Highness is absent-minded. Even a three-year-old child can beat you here."
King Wei was not embarrassed when his thoughts were named, but asked with a smile, "Does Weizhen know what I am thinking about?"
"King Ke."
Cui Weizhen's face showed calmness and calmness, and he said slowly, "Today, King Ke recommended a strange person and was highly praised by His Majesty. He received countless rewards from the palace. His Highness was confused because of this, right?"
"A scholar does not go out to know everything about the world."
The King of Wei praised him, saying, "Weizhen is quite open-minded. Even in the temple, he knows everything about the affairs of the government and the public."
Comparing Cui Weizhen to Kong Ming is not a metaphor that he himself is Liu Bei, the leader of Ming Dynasty?
Cui Weizhen smiled slightly. He had his own channels to learn about the news, and as a trusted aide, he naturally had the obligation to provide advice. So he asked, "Has Your Highness heard about the fraud committed by Scholar Jinke?"
Of course I know.
The King of Wei always asked his disciples to pay attention to the trend of rumors in the market, especially about Jinke scholars. These people were the targets of their wooing. Those who wanted to develop into reserve forces in the future would naturally not miss relevant news.
He already knows the news about the scholar's fraud, and is sending people to check the authenticity, but he has not yet received the result.
Cui Weizhen raised his eyebrows slightly, a dark look flashed in his eyes, "The truth is not important, what is important is, who is the culprit that His Highness wants to find out?"
King Wei suddenly raised his head. Some obscure thoughts that had been hazy in his heart finally cleared the clouds and gradually became clear.
Ever since he learned that a scholar had committed fraud, he had been searching for the truth and recommending the scholar he liked. Even if he had other ideas, he subconsciously ignored them. Now that Cui Weizhen reminded him, the seeds of the conspiracy began to bear fruit.
growing up healthily.
Yes, a God-given opportunity is ahead of him, and he should take advantage of this opportunity and profit from it.
Thinking of a certain possibility, his eyes suddenly lit up, like a lone wolf in the dark night. He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and even his voice trembled, "You mean, King Ke?"
However, his appetite is too big, right?
It is too unrealistic to overthrow King Ke right from the start.
Cui Weizhen shook his head, "King Ke is getting a favor, so it would be inappropriate to frame him. However, one of the examiners this time, Xiao Yan, is a capable general under King Ke. If we can get rid of him, it will be equivalent to killing him."
King Duanke's right-hand man will be of great benefit to you, Your Highness, without any harm."
Xiao Yan is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is in charge of the appointment and evaluation of officials. He has great power. He often opens the door to people from King Ke's party. Not only is he excellent every year, but if there are any vacancies, King Ke will be the first to be arranged.
As a party official, the King of Wei suffered many losses at his hands.
If Xiao Yan can be eliminated this time, it will not only be as simple as cutting off King Ke's capable men. When the vacancy of the official doctor is vacated, he may be able to push his own people up, and he will not have to worry about it in the future.
While others eat meat, I can only drink soup and my teeth itch with hatred.
Even if he couldn't push his own people up, he could still mess up King Ke's people. In the end, it was the emperor's people who took that position. It was the greatest fairness that both sides were treated equally.
It only took a few breaths for these considerations to go through his mind. Outsiders could not even see his momentary daze. Now he humbly asked Cui Weizhen for advice, "If you dare to say that, there must be a way. Don't play it off.
Please tell me quickly how to defeat this old man Xiao Yan.
Cui Weizhen smiled faintly and said, "It's very simple. Your Highness, you just need to..."
He said in such a general way, King Wei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he was overjoyed and patted him on the shoulder. I don't know if it was a compliment or a joke and said, "I really saw you right, just like you did when you were a child.
