The pear garden is like a fairyland.Full version?????????.????
After many days, Xue Bai finally stood in front of Li Longji again, and their feelings for each other were different from the past.
I have heard that you are slandering me in private."
"I didn't." Xue Bai said: "I met a saint when I was young. I was as humble as an ant and became the number one scholar for a time. Your kindness is so deep and your kindness is so great. I regard the saint as my dearest relative and elder. If I am not sincere, I will be punished by heaven and earth.
...
"enough."
Li Longji has heard too many flattery words and has no patience to listen to them for too long.
But he also knew that what Xue Bai said was the truth, and he had the feeling that he was a minister he had grown up watching.
He looked at Xue Bai a little more favorably, and said with emotion, "Among my ministers, only you and Hu'er have the humblest backgrounds. They are also the most devoted to me. They always think of me when they have delicious food and fun things, and they are always attacked.
There are also the most tricks."
“I’m really grateful.”
Xue Bai was actually unhappy.
It was originally a good start for a monarch and his ministers to get along, but Li Longji insisted on mixing him up with An Lushan to talk. But in Li Longji's heart, this was really the case. He felt that classifying these two people into the same category today was a reflection of Xue Bai's ability.
After all, loyal, capable and considerate ministers like An Lushan were his favorite.
"However, the saint treated me like this, but I concealed my life experience from the saint." Xue Bai said: "I cannot compare with An Lushan."
“You still know?!”
Li Long basically kept his emotions and anger secret, but since he had an outlet to vent his anger, he didn't have to hold it in front of Xue Bai'er and scold him a few times.
"I gave you the gift of recognition, but you changed it without authorization, plotted the plan, and rebelled against me in public. In your eyes, is your status as the number one scholar more important than the emperor's face?! Is this what you mean by tears of gratitude and kindness and kindness?!
"
“I was wrong.”
“You still dare to quibble?
Back to the saint, this is not sophistry. From the moment Cui Qiao asked that question, he was teasing me. He knew my true life experience, but he wanted to show me "Xiang Ling drum sel" to see if I was committing a taboo or admitting that I was a traitor and a lowly person.
Slave. I am a deceiver. I am a saint and only the top scholar. Even if you kill me, I will be willing to do so. This is what I deserve. But who is he, playing tricks on me?"
Gao Lishi had to shout: "How can you speak in front of the emperor?!"
Li Longji shook his head and said, "Continue."
Old thief Cui Qiao, what's wrong with you when you say that I'm deceiving the emperor? Finally, show off the demeanor of a famous family,
He said that he has tolerated me enough. How can I, a rebellious slave, become famous in Chang'an and be the top scholar in high school? I don't know how to write stories for saints, and I forgot to contribute poems to him, the great uncle. Wen Xingjuan, I rejected his offer to marry his granddaughter to me!"
"You are such a sharp-tongued person, but your crime of deceiving the emperor ended up being framed by others in the end."
"Back to Saint, I didn't think about overturning the case, I just wanted to take Cui Qiao to the end. In fact, I also know that he is not the only one who harmed me. There are also people who are using Cui Qiao behind the scenes. Uncle Guo is supervising the salt pressing and paper making. They want to get their hands on every job. I can't help it. This time, the cause of the trouble is not to keep the No. 1 pick, but to slap them in the face."
Xue Bai said it before, thought about it, and added another sentence.
"I still have another crime. I often hide my clumsiness in front of saints. In fact, I asked my teacher, Dr. Zheng, to help me, summon the unscrupulous people, and used some shameful means. The right prime minister's previous accusations were not wrong. I was very scheming and my methods were vicious. "
"Ah."
Li Longji couldn't help but sneered. Full version 520.????
Gao Lishi couldn't help but smile when he saw the saint smiling.
“The means are vicious?“
Li Longji felt more and more amused. He raised his finger and pointed at the palace garden and said something off-topic.
"Taizhen has a Haizhou cat. It usually rolls around and is quite funny. It looks innocent. But when it goes out, it catches birds and mice without being seen by others, and kills them with its claws. , torturing these little things to death and taking pleasure in it. You say, do I really not know what it has done? The methods are vicious? Just what you did."
Xue Bai said: "Nothing I do can be hidden from the eyes of the saint. The saint looks at me like a cat, like the gods in the sky looking at the people on the earth."
“That’s enough, it’s useless to be nice and obedient.”
“I want to say that it’s my fault for hiding it from the saint. I’m actually not a Haizhou cat, just a civet cat.”
“I don’t care what kind of cat you are.” Li Longji scolded and asked casually: “Since you feel bullied, why don’t you intercede with your sworn sisters and sworn brothers because you think I can’t cure them?”
"This... I am ashamed to face the saint and have no shame to speak." Xue Bai said: "I am also afraid of causing trouble to the saint."
Do you have this loyalty?"
“Yes, poor students are dissatisfied with the family’s control of the imperial examinations for a long time. We take this opportunity to create momentum and dampen their spirit. There is no need to alarm the saints with anything.”
Li Longji was a little surprised that he had this intention.
Of course, this matter is indeed different from the previous intrigues, and there is very little that the emperor can change.
"You are so arrogant. From what I see, your momentum will be dampened by them. What are your plans?"
"Not afraid." Xue Bai said: "They have managed the papermaking workshop that will be overseen, but they cannot block the papermaking process. I have given the latest papermaking process to all like-minded people who left Chang'an. Although they do not have mature workshops,
One day, we will definitely be able to bring down the price of paper. We also need to spread the story of the poor children in this spring, and spread the articles of my teacher."
“Can it be spread?”
"We have an idea called 'movable type printing'. Different from woodblock printing, each character is a separate piece and can be arranged freely. It can print new articles very flexibly and quickly. The children of the aristocratic family want to block
Our voices are difficult."
The principle is simple. Li Longji understood it as soon as he heard it and said: "How dare common people control public opinion? How many sets of movable type plates can you make? Where can you find so many literate craftsmen? This is not a craft that common people can have.
, but it’s up to the imperial court to handle it.”
"The sage knows clearly that I didn't think carefully." Xue Bai said: "This is difficult to do, but the students from poor families are willing to spend decades fighting for a place in the imperial examination. I come from a humble background, and I am willing to do my best for them."
This is not something that can be achieved overnight. Li Longji wants to change, but he is unwilling to really widely affect the interests of the family.
Xue Bai's attitude is just right if it affects his enjoyment. There are some small ways to do it, so take your time.
Xue Bai finally showed a little bit of his talents as a state minister, and he also learned to recommend talents.
“I did this not only to vent my anger, but also because it was too difficult to get ahead in Chang’an from a poor family, so I had no choice but to go to Bianzhen.
Just like the right prime minister used all the barbarians as border towns, these people were helpless and loyal to the saints. For example, Gao Shi, although he wrote poems like "Yan Ge Xing", he was actually dissatisfied because there were people who blocked him.
To serve the king, he is actually more loyal to the king than others. A saint will know it as soon as he sees him...
ˆˆNN
“Cui Qiao, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, came to see you.”
“I have seen the saint, and I would like to wish the saint a happy spring.”
Cui Qiao is a little haggard. He is not having an easy time these days. Quan??Ben????520.????
Although everyone familiar with the matter understood that he was being coerced, the fact is that his name has been used to advocate for the imperial examination to support more poor scholars. Therefore, some officials from aristocratic families believe that if Cui Qiao is not punished, it will encourage those who
My arrogance... is simply ridiculous.
"There is no need to be polite to you. I have kept a memorial in Zhongshu. I have summoned you to ask."
"yes."
Li Longji lowered his head and drank.
Gao Lishi asked: "I dare to ask Cui Shangshu. The prince-in-law Zhang Zan admits that he asked you to teach Xue Bai a lesson, but you made the question to make him offend?"
“It’s the old minister who is confused.”
"There is no one else in the Liyuan. Cui Shangshu cannot be too rude when he speaks. When your majesty asks, you can answer."
“Yes, that’s what Zhang’s consort said.”
“What does Zhang Zuma want from you?”
Cui Qiao didn't dare to answer, but still said: "He said that Xue Bai deceived the emperor. He couldn't really give him the top prize. It doesn't matter whether he gave up the exam or failed to win. In short, he couldn't let him succeed."
“In that case, why did you give him the No. 1 prize again?
"It's...the right minister ordered it." Cui Qiao said: "The right minister said that this is what the saint wants."
"In general, Zhang's consort is right, and so is your right prime minister." Gao Lishi said: "You listen to Zhang's consort first, and then you listen to your right prime minister. You are also right."
"The old minister is guilty." Cui Qiao said: "The old minister is guilty."
Li Longji then became interested and asked: "Where is your crime?"
The old minister presided over the spring festival and failed to handle these matters properly. Please ask the saint to punish him. "
Li Longji smiled.
Although he is the emperor, he really can't find any faults in Cui Qiao. If he is wrong, it is also the emperor's fault. After all, everything is done according to the emperor's wishes.
“Old minister, I would like to thank your majesty for your kindness.”
Li Longji said: "I heard that I love you to recruit scholars for the country, and I think it is appropriate to increase the number of candidates from poor families.
Why didn’t I see the memorial?”
“Your Majesty has misunderstood, Sir...
“I love you, why don’t you write the last memorial, proposing to add ten more Jinshi places, specifically for poor candidates whose ancestors have not been officials for three generations.”
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. The country values fairness the most when selecting officials. This will give people with ulterior motives an opportunity to engage in fraud."
“Ai Qing, you don’t want to submit a memorial?”
Cui Qiao didn't dare to sit down anymore, so she quickly stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Perhaps these unruly acts are causing trouble wantonly, which makes some officials in the court think that just condoning them and appeasing them is enough, but they don't know that they have grudges and greed.
Power loves wealth. Once you become an official, you will not be lenient to the people, and you will not be loyal to the king. You are definitely not a good person."
At this point, he became excited and began to list out the various rhetoric he had prepared.
"I don't know whether Xue Bai is the son of a gambler or a traitor. But he must have learned some rogue tricks and even treasonous tricks since he was a child. Whenever he doesn't go his way, he stirs up public opinion against the imperial court.
"In the sixth year of Tianbao, Chunwei caused trouble and engaged in fraud in autumn. Now he is besieging the Ministry of Rites and holding important officials hostage with knives. Such wild ambitions are no different from rebellion. No wonder he looks like Xue Xiu."
"Those who gathered around Xue Bai were all people who harbored resentment towards the imperial court. Du Youlin was very good at plotting. He first speculated on the Eastern Palace and was involved in major treason cases; his son Du Yu repeatedly committed major crimes.
Disciples, Xue Baimei used his power to protect him; and Gao Shi, who wrote more than one or two poems of resentment, and had been dissatisfied with the imperial court for a long time. These people incited public opinion, and they would not be able to follow suit without severe punishment.
Cui Qiao has evidence. A crumpled poem was palmed out and handed to the saint. Li Longji looked at it with some surprise.
At first he thought it was white rattan paper, but after taking a closer look, he saw that the material was different, so he looked at Gao Lishi and asked with his eyes.
Can bamboo paper craftsmanship be so flexible?
Gao Lishi nodded and said in a low voice: "It's bamboo paper. After taking over as the supervisor, the paper quality improved very quickly. The key lies in the soaking of the pulp. It is said that some of them need to be soaked for half a year. This old slave didn't expect it."
Li Longji then opened it and looked at the poem. Cui Qiao didn't hear Gao Lishi's whisper and glanced at the police. Seeing the saint frowning, he lost no time and added a few lines: "The poems written by Gao Shi in Jinke are also full of
It's because of my resentment that I dare not show it to the saint...
Li Longji was really displeased after hearing this and said, "My dear, I have been wronged. Please step back."
“Old minister resigns.“
NA
After leaving the palace, Cui Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and thought, first let the saint not find his fault, and then use those presumptuous scholars to divert the saint's anger, so that he could deal with it.
He didn't ask for much, just a sinecure left by Dongdu.
After returning home, two days later, Cui Qiao was in the study. He heard an old servant at home preaching: "The seventh man, the eldest man, and the second man are here, and Duke Du is here too."
“I’ll meet you in the hall.”
Although Cui Qiao has a high official position, in such a large family, the official positions that are promoted and demoted are not that important. The power is sometimes judged by the influence on the government and the opposition.
His elder brother was named Cui Yuxi. He entered the civil service during the reign of Emperor Ruizong. In the middle period of Kaiyuan, he served as the official of Zhongshushe. He was responsible for reviewing memorials, drafting imperial edicts, and handling secrets. His authority was unmatched by today's Minister of Rites.
Now Cui Yuxi is old and gray-haired. He is sitting in the hall talking to Du Hope, "Qilang has been confused since he was a child. My uncle, don't blame him. At that time, he also said that he wanted to recruit Xue Bai as his grandson-in-law. This young man didn't notice."
There is nothing you can do if you go to our Cui family."
The mother of the Cui brothers was born in the Du family of Jingzhao and was Du Xixi’s cousin, so they called him “brother-in-law”.
Du hope said with a smile: "I heard about this. It was my nephew who failed to build a bridge and caused many things later."
Cui Qiao listened to this conversation and knew that his brother was saying that Xue Bai did not know etiquette in front of the Du family, so he smiled and stepped forward to salute.
“Brother-in-law, brother.”
"Here we come." Cui Yuxi pointed at Cui Qiao and said, "Today, in front of my uncle, I will teach this confused brother a lesson... You should not be the Minister of Rites."
Cui Qiao thought to herself, it’s finally here.
He was already ready to go to Luoyang and his luggage was packed.
But I heard Cui Yuxi say: "Let's demote him to the position of chief historian of Jiangling."
“What? Gangneung?”
Cui Qiao was surprised and said: "Brother, I am so confused, how can I still go to Jiangling..."
Du Hope also quickly said: "Da Lang is too cruel, and he has been demoted too far."
"He deserves it. I just hope that my uncle can come forward to help calm the situation." Cui Yuxi said: "After all, it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of others' misfortunes and take advantage of them."
The whole thing has nothing to do with Du Hope, and this statement is not for Du Hope. Instead, the Cui family took an attitude and asked Du Hope to be a peacemaker, say hello to all parties and calm the dispute.
“Well, I’ll show off my old face and walk more places.”
When Du Hope left, Cui Qiao was stunned for a long time before she realized what she was doing.
“Brother, what’s going on? Can you demote me to Jiangling?!”
"Am I in charge of this matter? Just ask Gonu."
Cui Qiao was surprised: "How can he belittle me?"
"Why else? You have made the saint unhappy." Cui Yuxi sighed, "I tried my best to protect you, and I have already asked Brother Nu. You failed to do the job well, but you blamed a few white men in front of the emperor.
, Can they bear it? Gao Shi? You are an ant who suffers from being unable to become an official. If the saint does not demote you, how can you demote him? "
“On what crime can the saint belittle me? I have done nothing wrong!
Cui Yuxi shook his head and said: "The saint can't get you guilty, but the slave can't get it? Do you know how many people have exposed you for personal grudges to prevent Xue Bai from being admitted?"
“You are like this?!“
Cui Qiao was shocked and angry, and reacted instantly.
He was sold.
The saint did not need evidence to punish him, so Genu consulted with several aristocratic families and had to give in. He demoted someone to vent his anger on the saint. The first people to abandon him were precisely the relatives and friends behind him.
In-laws and old friends,
This family said they wanted the number one scholar, that family said they wanted the imperial examination, this family said they wanted bamboo paper, that family said they wanted to publish books, Zhang Zan said the saint regretted giving Xue Bai the number one scholar, Li Linfu said he still had to give him the number one scholar... He was in the situation
In this vortex, everyone gets the benefits they want.
As a result, something happened, but he was the only one to bear the responsibility.
“You’re treating me like this?!“
Cui Qiao was so angry that she was trembling and pointed at her brother. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Cui Yuxi stood up slowly with a cane and said: "Calm down right away. I am already old. Is it for myself? For the sake of the Cui family, including your five sons."
With just one sentence, Cui Qiao could only suppress her anger.
He is not even qualified to be angry.
ˆˆ+x*
The memorial derogating Cui Qiao came down very quickly. It took less than a day and was delivered to Cui's house in the evening.
Although a minister of the Ministry of Rites was broken, it did not harm the Cui family.
Cui Qiao has seven brothers and five sons. Only his branch is full of talented people, all of whom are the best in the Tang Dynasty. However, they are only a small branch of Wu Shuifang, the Nanzu of the Cui family in Qinghe, and Nanzufang belongs to the Qinghe Cui family. One of the six rooms is reserved.
He is just a drop in the bucket of aristocratic talents. If he is demoted, he will be demoted. There is no pity. Tianbao's eight-year imperial examination will not find a suitable examiner.
Without him, the Yu family controlled the academic field, and the officialdom situation did not change at all.
The initial change came from another news that day - Cui Qiao's memorial to depose the number one scholar was dismissed, and Xue Bai was still the number one scholar in Tianbao for seven years.
Many people thought that this result was just because Cui Qiao had guessed the Holy Will wrongly and had not thought about what this meant and what changes it would bring.

On the day Cui Qiao left Chang'an, Xue Bai was sending Gao Shi to Hedong. "Actually, there was another reason why the saint was angry with Cui Qiao. When he learned that Brother Gao had failed in his official career, he switched to General Wang's side, which most intuitively felt the brain drain. ."
Xue Bai finally reminded Gao Shi one more time and said: "It can be seen that the saint appreciates brother Gao's talent. If he stays in Chang'an, he may be able to be awarded an official position."
Gao Shi shook his head and said something to Xue Bai.
“I don’t want to stay. The saint’s inquiries are all in vain. It seems that if you grant me an official position, you can solve the long-term disadvantages of joining an official from a poor family. But the general needs me more, so I ask for practical advice.”
Xue Bai feels that Gao Shi is stubborn most of the time, but occasionally he can be tactful, as if he has not fully learned the worldly skills after decades of study. He may still have to learn for a few years, or he may never learn it.
“What Brother Gao said, I hope one day we can resolve it in your hands.”
Li Longji is unwilling to solve, and Xue Bai is willing to slowly do things that cannot be solved...
