Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 189 The Imperial Examination Situation

Chapter 189

Putting down the pen in his hand, Tang Bohu lowered his head in frustration, and said in confusion, "Why, why is each of you covering up! None of you are willing to tell me."

Tang Bohu's disappointed expression was seen by Zhong Ling'er, and he said in a low voice: "The more you know, the more dangerous you are. Do you think that you know how dark the world is after you have experienced a lot? You don't have too many dark things. See, you think you are smart enough to strategize and grasp the overall situation, but you don’t weigh yourself, and we don’t tell you to protect you.”

"So, I still need to thank you?" Tang Bohu said.

"You're welcome." Zhong Ling'er resumed her elegant look, "If you really want to thank me, just marry me."

"Get out!" Tang Bohu put his body limply on the chair and said, "I want to be quiet."

Zhong Ling'er still leaned against the door and did not intend to leave. Looking at the distressed Tang Bohu, she felt a little distressed, and then said: "The world of the Ming Dynasty is not the king's monopoly. Some clans were established when the Yuan army entered the customs. As a result, the firepower in the war has risen, and they have also contributed to the expulsion of reinforcements and the recapture of the Han people."

"In that era of raging wars, many forces competed, and when some forces became bigger, their ambitions became bigger. Everyone wanted to be the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and everyone wanted to sit on the top of the country. When the Yuan army was defeated The competition between the two has begun, and everyone wants to score points in the world!"

"If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, this Central Plains wouldn't be so peaceful." Zhong Ling'er went on to say, "Those forces would have become the current clans. There are also many wings in the court..."

"None of these people are safe anymore. After being passed down from generation to generation, the influence of these clans has been accumulating! Even today, His Majesty dare not touch them easily!"

Zhong Ling'er's words continued, "Actually, the emperor of Ming knew that these clans would become hidden dangers, so when the country was in Zhu Youtang's hands, he wanted to touch these aristocratic clans more than once, from the sidelines to the branches, From the branches to the roots, when Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang investigated, he found that these clans were too large, and it was not a matter of overnight to move them."

"Of course, many vassal princes of the Ming Dynasty also understand this matter, so King Ning also wants to intervene in the rich and prosperous land of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youtang is also working hard to make arrangements."

"If you don't tell me these side details, I can deduce them." Tang Bohu raised his head and said, "Tell me half of it and hide half of it. Can you still not tell me about some things? Who is behind the matchmaker? Washington summoned Qiuxiang back because other clans gave it to her." Pressure, who are those clans?"

"Tang Bohu." Zhong Ling'er also sighed and said: "I can't tell you too much, it would be a taboo, after all, I also want to live, if one day you climb to a high enough height and have enough rights After that, they can't hide it even if they want to, your wings are not yet full, and now you know that it will only increase your worries, some things can't be touched, if you touch them, you will burn yourself."

Xu Jing came to Li Dongyang's house with a pastry and knocked lightly on the door. Less than half a stick of incense passed, a woman hurriedly opened the door, saw Xu Jing and said, "Who are you?"

"I'm Xu Jing!" Xu Jing said, "I'm here to pay a visit to Mr. Li Ge."

"You say that old man!" Li Dongyang's wife said with a smile: "Is this old guy still discussing matters in the palace?"

"That's it..." Xu Jing sighed, and it was a bit embarrassing to go to the empty door.

Seeing his awkward appearance, Li Dongyang's wife said, "Come in first and have a seat, the old man will be back soon after watching the sky."

"Okay!" Xu Jing nodded, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes!
Jin Yiwei, who had been secretly monitoring Xu Jing, talked about Xu Jing walking into Li Dongyang's home.

"How did this Xu Jing enter Li Dongyang's house?"

"Could it be that Li Dongyang knew him?"

"There's something odd about this."

"Quick, send someone to send a message to Tang Qianhu! Let's keep watching."

Xu Jing didn't know how long his son Li Dongyang had been sitting at home, but he didn't see Li Dongyang until the sunset.

"Student Xu Jing, I have met Mr. Li Ge." Xu Jing bowed politely.

"Xu Jing?" Li Dongyang was very disgusted with this unexpected visitor, but he also said politely: "You are the Xu Jing who knows Tang Bohu? You have a polite look."

"I heard Mr. Tang say that Master Li is benevolent and will treat our juniors kindly."

"Oh?" Hearing what he said, Li Dongyang said in surprise: "This Tang Bohu still praises me."

"Hehehe..." Xu Jing said with a smile: "Master Tang has always praised Mr. Li Ge very much, and also hopes that the younger generation will learn more like Mr. Li Ge."

Hearing this sentence, Li Dongyang began to be puzzled. Xu Jing's smile looked very sincere, but it made people feel very uncomfortable.

Xu Jing smiled and put a pastry on Li Dongyang's table.

"What do you mean." Li Dongyang looked at Xu Jing and said, "Come to give me a gift?"

It's just some worthless pastries, Xu Jing said with a smile: "It's also to make..."

"Take it back!" Li Dongyang interrupted him and said, "Old man, I don't like insincere young people. You said you were recommended by Tang Bohu, but Tang Bohu and this old man have never been very good at each other. Would he praise me? It's strange." , I really don’t believe that!”

Xu Jing didn't know what to say for a while.

"Take your pastry and go!" Li Dongyang was not looking at him.

Xu Jing walks out of Li Dongyang's house disheveledly with the cakes in his hand. What he sees under the setting sun is the golden city. After returning to the inn, Xu Jing is drinking alone in a depressed mood.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
There was a knock on the door, and Xu Jing opened the door of the guest room in annoyance, and in front of him was the scholar who had gone to Tangzhuang with him.

"Brother Xu, the knowledge of Tang Bohu's academy is really novel, but also very insightful!" A scholar said, "It's a pity that Brother Xu didn't attend a class."

"Tang Bohu! It's Tang Bohu again!" Xu Jing roared through his drunkenness, "Get lost! I don't want to see you!"

"Such a fire! How did we offend you!"

"A mouthful of alcohol, how much have you drank?"

"Drunkenness!"

……

Several scholars waved their sleeves and walked away from Xu Jing.

After returning to silence, Xu Jing closed the door of his room!As the day of the examination approached, Xu Jing took a sip of wine and said to himself: "I was born poor, and no one looked down on me when I was young! So I study hard, and I want to stand out from the crowd by studying hard!" "
