Chen Qianchen opened his lips slightly, and before he could make a sound, the students next to him started arguing again, and they all had their own opinions.

"Brother Li and Brother Zhou, what you said is biased. Not to mention the test questions in the metropolitan area, I just say that the benefits of recruiting soldiers are more than the disadvantages, I don't agree with it."

"There is a saying that soldiers can be used for a thousand days without using them, and they cannot be prepared for a day. Our great Qi has today's peace, which is what countless soldiers earn at the cost of life and flesh."

"There is no military force in the country, so there is no door to the home. Isn't this opening the door and waiting for the robbers to come?!"

"After the new emperor ascended the throne, he could discover the disadvantages of the empty salary in the army and vigorously and decisively punish them. It can be seen that the new emperor is a man with clever ears and eyes and a ravine chest."

“…”

They spoke enthusiastically, Chen Qianchen listened interestingly, and she liked to hear people praise Gu Jue the most.

She pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand to attract the waiter, and ordered another pot of snow-soaked plum blossom wine to relieve the heat.

"There is a gully in my chest?" The Juren Li, who was wearing a blue robe, sneered again and shook his head disapprovingly, "You are too naive!"

He said this almost to say that they were stupid in their studies.

Juren Li sneered a cry of drunkenness and awakening, and then said, "Have you ever heard of it? In May, the new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the dynasty dismissed an envoy."

"Since ancient times, the censor has been in charge of supervision, both picking up officials and advising the emperor, in order to avoid the emperor being partial and trusting."

"As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he acted so arrogantly. The imperial envoy spoke out loudly. Not only did he refuse to listen, he forced the imperial envoy to hit the pillar in public in the Golden Palace, and the court was in an uproar. But the new emperor felt that the imperial envoy was a crime of his death. Not only did he dismiss the censor's official position, but he also used force to suppress all officials, so that all officials would dare not speak out."

Juren Li was full of righteous indignation, sincere feelings, and his voice became louder and louder, almost making people think that he had witnessed this scene in the Golden Palace that day.

Most of the students present came from other places, so their sources of information were limited. They had never heard of these things before. Some were shocked, some were curious, some were sighing, some were righteous and indignant.

"Brother Li Xian, are you true?" The Zhou Juren, who was in his forties and had a goatee, frowned and asked Li Juren, "I don't know who the censor is?"

Juren Li straightened his chest calmly and said seriously: "How could I make up such a big deal if I can make up such a big deal!"

"The censor's surname is Ji, so I won't mention his name. You can go to the capital to inquire."

"Oh, Lord Ji is also pitiful. He has been an honest official all his life and impeached many corrupt officials. He is loyal and courageous. He is just a few words of loyal advice and direct advice, which makes the king unhappy, which leads to a great disaster. The new emperor not only dismissed him, but also prevented the Ji family from being admitted to the imperial examination for three generations! It is simply killing people and killing their hearts!"

Many students were moved by Juren Li’s words.

They were all scholars, and they studied hard for ten years, all for the imperial examinations. However, the new emperor's understatement extinguished the hopes of the three generations.

Juren Zhou was more and more moved, shook his head and sighed, "It is no wonder he is more martial when he heard that the new emperor forced the palace to seize the throne."

The atmosphere suddenly became depressed and solemn.

Many students' faces were not very good-looking. Some were somewhat moved by these two people, and some were skeptical about the matter of Censor Ji, thinking that they still had to inquire about Censor Ji before making an evaluation.

Chen Qianchen leaned over Gu Jue again, whispered to him and said with a smile: "The news about Mr. Li is so well-informed, and he even knows what happened upwards."

She narrowed her eyes, and her eyes looked back and forth between Juren Li and Juren Zhou.

These people did it too obvious, deliberately spreading rumors among these students, driving the trend and causing them to have prejudice against Gu Jue.

It is obvious who the instructor behind Li Juren and Zhou Juren is.

Ji Mingzhi was dismissed from office, and the Ji family was fined three generations and refused to be admitted to the imperial examination. It seems that Ji Mingzhi and the "that person" behind him are neither convinced nor given up.

Yes, when Gu Lang was in power, in the past, in addition to being particularly cautious about Gu Jue, he tolerated other ministers and even had a laissez-faire attitude. As long as there was no major incident in the court, Gu Lang could whitewash the peace.

After years of going down, the military generals of Kang Hongda's party and the civil officials headed by Wei Jingze became more and more greedy, and they all greedily absorbed the flesh and blood of the court like blood and blood.

These people have lived a comfortable life in the past, and it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Now, of course, they don’t want a monarch who is too strong to be pressed on them, so they are all determined to suppress Gu Jue, wanting Gu Jue to give in.

Chen Qianchen's eyes were slightly cold. They really made a decision.

At this time, the waiter smiled and put snow-soaked plum blossom wine on the two of them. The white porcelain wine pot was placed in a plate of broken ice. It was cold from the wine to the wine pot, and there were still wisps of white smoke.

Chen Qianchen poured Gu Jue a glass of wine, handed it to him, and whispered: "At most three cups."

This snow-soaked plum blossom wine is not a strong wine, it is just a sweet glutinous rice soaked in plum blossom petals, so Gu Jue can also drink a few glasses.

Gu Jue took the wine glass, took a sip of snow-soaked plum blossom wine, and raised his eyebrows.

For Gu Jue, who has been in the army for many years, this sweet wine can hardly be called wine. It can only be regarded as a kind of fruit dew, but it is quite suitable for girls to drink.

Seeing that Chen Qianchen's cup was mostly empty, he added wine to her.

Chen Qianchen looked at the Qingyi Juzi who had stood up suddenly on the table next door. Qingyi Juzi looked around and said seriously: "It has only been more than two months since the official ascended the throne. He exempted taxes for the people and investigated corruption in the army. All kinds of measures show that the official family is willing to clean up the administration and rectify the customs."

"It shouldn't be."

He did not think that the new emperor Gu Jue was a tyrant who did not listen to advice.

Some people nodded, some people shook their heads. These students debated for so long, but still couldn't argue. No one could convince the other party. They had their own ideas and insisted on them.

Chen Qianchen curled his lips, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and drank two more sips of cool and sweet wine. He felt that there were still a few smart people among these scholars who were bright and wise.

Logically speaking, Wei Jingze has been in the court for decades and has seen countless people. Why is it better than such a nerd who doesn't know Gu Jue? Gu Jue has never been the one who will be led by others by the nose.

When Chen Qianchen put the wine glass on his lips again, he felt the man beside him leaning towards her again. His thin lips once again "inadvertently" brushed her earlobes and said softly: "I recently asked the Ministry of Personnel to arrange for officials to come to Beijing to report their duties."

Chen Qianchen blinked and her eyes moved, and she knew about it.

Gu Jueming issued an order to let officials come to Beijing to report their duties, but in fact he also had the intention of reforming the system and streamlining the officials. However, now everyone else only thinks that this is the first "professional report" after the new emperor ascended the throne.

The "professional report" alone has actually made many people in the court feel excited.

Therefore, Wei Jingze didn't make trouble early or late, but he just started making trouble at this time.

Now it is a test, and there are many scholars in the capital. Since ancient times, students have often regarded themselves very high, noble and energetic. Because they have not experienced any storms, they are often a bit too straightforward. These people have always been the kind of people who are most easily incited.

Immediately afterwards, Li Juren also stood up and applauded at Qingyi Juzi and said, "Brother Xuan is such a good eloquent."

He was probably too excited. His body hit the chair behind him, making a "knock" sound, which attracted more curious eyes. Even the other tea guests in the lobby looked at these scholars.

Juren Li and Juren looked at each other, raised their chin disapprovingly, and said, "Brother Xuan, you are so confident about the current master. It seems that you should have a clear idea of ​​how to answer the question of "garrison troops".

Li Juren's words sounded inexplicable at first glance, but, as he had previously mentioned that this year's examination would definitely be about "garrisoning troops", the meaning of his words seemed meaningful, which was equivalent to saying that Xuan Juren was just trying to be charmed for fame and fortune.

This is already a serious insult to these scholars who are self-reliant.

"..." Xuan Juren's face turned red in an instant, and he looked ashamed and angry.

Many students around him looked at him with strange looks, either scrutinizing, contempt, suddenly realized, or shook their heads and sighed...

Chen Qianchen also frowned and looked at Juren Li and Juren Zhou with displeasure.

She hated them saying that Gu Jue was not good, and that these were all over again!

If Gu Jue hadn't been here, she would have wanted to rush up and use her needle to teach these guys who are making trouble and jumping up and down.

Although Gu Jue felt that the little girl was angry and looked like a little cat with claws, very cute, when he saw her angry, he felt distressed, so he immediately raised his hand to smooth her eyebrows and added drinks to her.

Juren Li blocked Juren Xuan speechlessly and felt quite happy.

He pulled the corner of his lips and made a smug curve, feeling as if he had won the final victory in this verbal criticism against the Lord.

He slowly looked around, enjoying the gazes that others were sought after, and bowed calmly to the others, asking them to express their opinions: "Brother Wang, Brother Liu, what do you think?"

Wang Juren: “…”

Juren Liu: “…”

When Juren Li's eyes flew over Gu Jue at the next table, he saw that Gu Jue was very dignified and had a bit of elegance and aloofness of a scholar, he asked with a smile: "What do you think, brother?"

For him, Gu Jue's silence was equivalent to agreeing.

Gu Jue took another sip of the fragrant snow-soaked plum blossom wine. His slender fingers casually turned the small white porcelain wine glass of plum blossom in his hand, and asked casually: "Do you dare to ask your brother's surname?"

Juren Li bowed and replied: "Don't let your surname be Li."

Gu Jue asked the other party’s surname, but did not mean to report to his home. He smiled and said, “There is an old saying, “If you listen to both sides, you will be clear, and if you believe in them, you will be dark. I don’t know Ji Yushisu, so I really don’t want to discuss his character.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

The students, including Juren Li, were all quiet and looked subtle.

Originally, Juren Li asked Gu Jue about his opinion on the new emperor, but Gu Jue turned the topic to Yushi Ji. At first, he heard that he answered the question irrelevantly, and after thinking about it, it made people feel that it was worth pondering.

None of them knew Ji Jingshi, nor did they know what happened in the Golden Palace on May. Is this true or false, or, in other words, it became true or false.

Gu Jue took a sip of wine gracefully and said slowly: "I heard that Censor Ji is honest and fair. I have been fascinated by Censor Ji for a long time. Can you ask Brother Li to help you recommend it?"

He sat upright at the square table, his green lotus-colored robe made his fair skin look like white jade, and a light smile was placed on the corner of his lips, and his smile was like a bright breeze, and his every move was graceful and noble.

As long as he wants, he can easily feel like a spring breeze; as long as he wants, he can easily make people speechless.

Juren Li choked, his eyes flashed, and he laughed dryly unnaturally: "Brother, I misunderstood, how could I know Yu Shi Ji?"

He found that he was in a difficult situation now. If he said that he knew Ji Jingshi, he would help Ji Jingshi condemn the new emperor;

If he said that he did not know Ji Jingshi, why did he help Ji Jingshi here to speak up?

At this time, Juren Xuan had calmed down and asked, "Brother Li, who did you hear about Ji Jing from?"

"..." Li Juren was speechless and his expression was stiff.

If he couldn't tell who he heard the story of Ji Jingshi from today, he would be "partial to listen and believe".

Juren Li's eyes wandered for a moment, and could only say vaguely: "This matter is related to the affairs of the court, and I can't say the name of this person. In short, Ji Jingshi's collision with the pillar, his dismissal, and his failure to be admitted to the imperial examination for three generations are all true."
To be continued...
