Chapter 184 Passing the Signal

At noon the next day, Zhang Ping hurried to Taixue and found Li Ye.

Li Ye held his broad shoulders and smiled: "Let's go! Let's go out for a drink."

Li Ye took Zhang Ping to a tavern opposite Taixue, called Sanyuan Tavern. There was no one in the tavern at noon, but business would be booming in the afternoon and it would be lively until evening.

Li Ye ordered a pot of wine and a few dishes. Zhang Ping said with a look of shame on his face: "Even this tavern has fish-flavored shredded pork and twice-cooked pork. Alas! I really failed."

"Don't worry about this little thing, tell me what you have learned!"

Li Ye knew that Zhang Ping came to him, and he must have gained something.

Zhang Ping nodded, "It's a coincidence that the father of one of my disciples works in Yuan Mansion. He knows the situation better. Yuan Xiao is currently studying at Guozixue, and his family is preparing to train him to become an official. Since the broken leg incident, Yuan Xiao has

Xiao then stopped hanging out with Yu Wen Siwu."

"What about Yuwen Siwu? Is there any news about him?"

Zhang Ping said with a smile: "It's easy to find out the news about Yu Wen Siwu. He is very famous and notorious. He joined the palace as a guard last year. He is even more arrogant and arrogant. It's easy to bully men and women. It's a piece of cake to accuse him at the beginning."

He had his legs broken by the head of the Jiaofang Department, and the people of Chang'an were all afraid of him. He was nicknamed the Demon King."

"Where's Yuwen Huaide?

Yuwen Huaide is the former Li Huai, but now he takes his mother's surname and becomes a member of the Yuwen family.

"That bastard is now Yuwen Siwu's lackey. He hangs out with him every day and does all kinds of evil."

Li Ye suddenly realized that when he met Yuwen Siwu yesterday, it was very likely that Li Huai was also on the second floor, but he did not dare to come down to see him.

The news was pretty good, and Li Ye asked again: "Continue to send disciples to keep an eye on Yuwen Siwu, but be careful not to be discovered by him."

"Don't worry, I know them! These bastards have their eyes on the top of their heads and will never pay attention to the little people below."

It is the general trend that Yang Guozhong will become the prime minister and cannot be stopped, but Yu Wenjing must not be allowed to become the prime minister. This is the consensus of Li Ye and his grandfather Li Linfu.

Li Linfu mentioned the Yuan family. If there is anyone who least wants to see Yu Wenjing become prime minister, it is the Yuan family.

It was a good move for the Yuan family, but it had to be played well. Li Ye decided to take the first step for his grandfather.

Li Ye did not expect that Yuan Xiao actually studied in Guozixue. Guozixue was also in Wubenfang, close to the Imperial College, but there were not many students, only more than a hundred people, almost all of whom were children of high-ranking officials of third rank or above, and they were related to the Imperial College.

Unlike the scholars who took the imperial examination, the children of high-ranking officials who entered the Imperial College were basically going to become officials after completing their studies.

It doesn't mean that if you can study at Guozixue, you will definitely be an official. That's not what it means.

Most people say that the Tang Dynasty must select scholars through the imperial examination, but if this was really done, the court would not be able to survive.

You want those children of high-ranking officials and powerful people to compete with children from aristocratic families and poor children? Is it possible?

Therefore, while the imperial court repeatedly emphasized the need to obtain scholars through the imperial examination, it also secretly opened two small slits in the back, one called Menyin and the other called Congwu.

High-ranking officials and powerful people all have quotas for one or two of their children to serve as officials. Of course, they are all given to legitimate sons. But even if you rely on your family to become an official, you still need to have a brighter resume. After studying for a few years at the Guozi School, you can get a

Fame is the best gold plating.

Therefore, the scholars who studied in Guozixue were basically the children of high-ranking officials who were sure to get a shady official position.

There is also a Congwumen sect, which is prepared for the Guanlong nobles and the Pianzhi royal family. The path is to work as a guard, and then be promoted to a military position. At a certain level, the military position will be converted into a civilian position. There are too many cases like this.

For example, Li Linfu was a member of the partial branch royal family. He first served as a bodyguard, and was promoted step by step. When the time came, he became a civil servant, and finally became the prime minister.

Yuan Xiao was the favorite grandson of General Yuan Yuan, and Yuan Yuan also prepared a career for him, so Yuan Xiao first studied at Mingde College, and then went to Guozixue for three years, and then he could become an official after receiving the title.

Yuan Xiao never dreamed that Li Ye would come to see him and invite him to drink.

After being confused for a while, Yuan Xiao finally nodded in agreement.

The two of them were drinking in the Sanyuan Tavern at noon. At this time, the pub was already full, and all of them were Taipei students.

At a small table in the corner, Li Ye filled Yuan Xiao with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I just found out that Brother Yuan is also studying at the Guozi School, otherwise I would have invited you to drink."

"Do you mind what happened last year?" Yuan Xiao asked in confusion.

"That incident last year has nothing to do with you. The only ones who want to kill me are Yu Wen Siwu and Li Huai. I don't care about the others at all. In official circles, it is better to have many friends than many enemies."

Li Ye's last words made Yuan Xiao feel relieved. They are all people who want to join the officialdom. Why should they care about a little conflict when they are ignorant, not to mention that he was just a bystander in the incident last year.

Yuan Xiao nodded, "Brother Li is right, my grandfather said that you are a person who can do great things and your future is limitless."

Yuan Xiao asked curiously: "Do you still have your Baoshou card with you?"

Li Ye took out the Baoshou tablet from his arms and handed it to him. Yuan Xiao quickly took it and took a closer look. It was really Gao Lishi's Baoshou tablet. No wonder Gao Lishi was willing to help Li Ye with what happened last year.

"Why did Gao Weng give the longevity card to my brother?"

"I play polo for him!" Li Ye said frankly.

Yuan Xiao suddenly realized, "Is this my brother a flying shark?"

Li Ye nodded, "Not only the flying shark, but also the white wolf!"

Yuan Xiao gave a thumbs up, "Awesome! If I had known you were Flying Shark and White Wolf, I would have bet on you, and I could also make some pocket money."

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "The next step is the top five matches. I will still participate, especially the first match of the Tianpeng Polo Team. I will bet a thousand coins on the Tianpeng Polo Team. You can also bet a little more.

.”

"Okay! With your words, I will put all my money on it."

Yuan Xiao took the initiative to fill a glass of wine for Li Ye. Li Ye picked up the glass and asked, "Is Brother Yuan still with Yuwen Siwu?"

Yuan Xiao shook his head, "After he recovered from his leg injury, he came to me several times, but I ignored him. This man is too violent, has no bottom line in his actions, and is too dangerous. If you are with him, sooner or later he will be involved."

"Yes! I heard that he now has a nickname, called Demon King."

Yuan Xiao sneered, "He nicknamed himself Demon Emperor. A few friends persuaded him and he changed it to Demon King."

"Do you know a lot about Yuwen Siwu's situation?"

Yuan Xiao nodded, "Do you still remember that Wu Gui? The one who was also slapped in the face by you, he is also studying at the Guozi School. He is still hanging out with Yuwen Si Wusi, so I didn't call him tonight."

"Where is Li Huai? His name is Yuwen Huaide now! What is he doing now?"

"He just hangs around behind Yu Wen Siwu. This person is very bad. Yu Wen Siwu is somewhat loyal, but he is bad at heart. I don't dare to provoke him. By the way, his mother has remarried."

Yu Wenluo remarried, and Li Ye suddenly became interested?

"Who did she remarry?"

"The seventh son of the Hou Mo Chen family, I call him the seventh uncle, his nickname is Hou Mo Chennu. As his name suggests, he has a very violent temper. If you marry him, you will probably suffer a lot."

Today is the first time for drinking. Li Ye did not have an in-depth talk with Yuan Xiao, but he invited Yuan Xiao to drink, which in itself sent a signal to the Yuan family. Yuan Xiao is a very smart person, and he will definitely report it to his grandfather.

.

Li Ye left the tavern and returned to school. When he walked to the gate of Taixue, a flying knife suddenly flew past his side and was nailed to the wall.

Li Ye stared at the flying knife a few feet away for a moment, then pulled out the sword from his waist and walked towards the darkness.

"You come out!"

A person walked out of the darkness, it was Black Spear who had escaped from the polo field. He held a child in his arms, took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Li Ye, crying uncontrollably.
