Chapter 559 List

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "This person is so petty, no wonder he can't be the prince, and he will die in the hands of Changsun Wuji in the future. How can such a mind become a great man? Although Li Zhi is cowardly, he is a big step ahead of him. At least Li Zhi will never ask for benefits because of this little thing!"

He squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Prince, the Lord is very grateful to your kindness to the Lord and will always remember it in your heart. Otherwise, the Lord invites the Lord to drink, what do you think?"

Wang Ping'an is very clear about what you can do. Even if I don't need you to help, I still thank you. I'll just treat you with a drink. I will definitely not be able to thank you. But if you have something to do in the future, don't worry, I will definitely help you in the opposite direction!

After all, it is considered a relative. Even if Li Ke is not very authentic, if something happens to him, Wang Ping'an will not sit idly by and will definitely do his best to help him. Even if he saves Li Ke's life, he will turn against Changsun Wuji. This is possible.

Changsun Wuji will deal with Li Ke in the future, Wang Ping'an will save Li Ke, and if Wu Meiniang deals with Changsun Wuji in the future, Wang Ping'an will also take action to save Changsun Wuji. In the royal family with thin human feelings, it is already impeccable that he can do this, and it is so fun to be at the top!

A sentence that is always in your heart is the best promise!

But Li Ke was still not satisfied. He said aggressively: "Let me record this wine for now, just treat it as you repay me for speaking for you. However, the scolding that I have been scolded by me, you can't just use a drink, just pass it over with perfunctory?"

Wang Ping'an laughed dryly and said helplessly: "Yes, how can one drink repay the prince's kindness? It's better to have two meals? Three meals are fine!"

Li Ke said with a harsh voice: "No sickness, don't talk nonsense. If you drink, you should keep it and curry favor with your uncle. But I am not interested." He looked around immediately, and saw that the guards were following him from afar, then he reached into his arms, took out a piece of folded paper, and handed it to Wang Ping'an.

"Look at this, I guess how many can I take care of?" Li Ke said.

Wang Ping'an took the paper and opened it. It turned out to be a list, with dozens of names written on it, and his family background and hometown were also included.

Looking at this list, Wang Ping'an found that none of them were known to him, but he was sure that these people were all scholars who were referenced in the current academic field. They must have been invested in the investment bank papers and were voted under Li Ke.

Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "Can these people be famous chefs in Beijing? Prince, do you want to try their skills one by one? But I don't know which restaurant chefs they are?"

Li Ke waved his hand and said, "Stop pretending to be confused by me. How could these people be chefs? They are all scholars who take the exam today and have submitted their papers to me. Look, how many of these people do you know? Can you take care of one or two when you draft the papers?"

Wang Ping'an yelled and said, "It turns out that they are not chefs, they are all scholars. Then this is not easy to deal with. There are too many people. If you can win several Jinshi in one subject, I am afraid that there will be more than one quota, right?"

Li Ke said: "Who told you to win all of you? Besides, it is not necessarily true that you have won all of you. There are those who have obtained Ming Jing. There are few people who have obtained Jin Shi, but many people who have Ming Jing. You can take care of three of them."

"Thirty percent? Then there must be about twenty!" Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "It's really hard to get a job for the officials. I can't take care of so many people no matter what!"

Li Ke thought for a while and said, "What about 20%?"

Wang Ping'an still shook his head and said, "There is no way to take care of so many officials. There are not even ten officials, at most three!"

It would be enough to be able to take care of three. There are so many princes and nobles in Chang'an City, and the scholars cast their books all over the sky. If everyone came to ask him to take care of him, how much would Wang Ping'an take care of him? In addition, Chu Suiliang needs to take care of him, and there is another deputy chief examiner who needs to take care of him. It is afraid that he will not be thousands of dollars!

If you win so many people in one subject, you won’t have to open a subject and get a bachelor’s degree in the next ten or twenty years. You can get enough money at one time?

Li Ke said with a sneer and said, "Three is only three. I will show you. You must win these three people, and they are all from the Jinshi class."

Wang Ping'an said with a bitter face: "All of them are Jinshi? This is too difficult to deal with. The official position must be discussed by Lord Chu. It depends on whether he agrees or not."

Li Ke snorted and said, "Chu Suiliang has a very good relationship with his uncle. If you discuss with him, he will not agree. Why do you write this list for the king? Why do you have to do it with you?"

"Then this is really hard for me!" Wang Ping'an put the list in his arms and thought to himself: "Now, people who walk in the back door are more tough than me, the back door."

Seeing that he had received the list, Li Ke smiled and said, "You are so sick. You have done this for me. I will definitely not treat you badly in the future. If the uncle is too embarrassed for you, you can just find me. I will make the decision for you in everything."

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You'd better take care of yourself. Just because you are worthy of singing a drama with Changsun Wuji? Hey, when did Changsun Wuji feel sorry for me?"

He said, "Prince, I don't understand what you said very well. Lord Changsun has never been embarrassed by the officials!"

Li Ke hummed twice and said, "Isn't it too difficult for you? Well, when you wait for the difficulties, you will tell me that it will not be too late for me to make decisions for you!"

He said in his heart: "Wang Ping'an does not admit that he has conflicts with Changsun Wuji. But the mother's words should not be wrong. How can the news from the palace be false? However, if there is any conflict between him and Changsun Wuji, I should send someone to investigate in detail. Maybe not only can I catch Wang Ping'an's handle, but also can catch Changsun Wuji!"

The two of them no longer mentioned the nomination list, and they no longer mentioned Changsun Wuji. They changed the topic and only talked about the lantern festival at night, talked and laughed, and came to Inspiration Temple.

To put it bluntly, the officialdom in the officialdom is to punish people. Regardless of other dynasties, at least the officialdom in the early Tang Dynasty was indeed like this. Li Ke and Wang Ping'an's faces were full of enthusiasm, as if they were two relatives. But secretly, Li Ke planned to thoroughly investigate why Wang Ping'an went to Ganye Temple and wanted to catch him.

Wang Ping'an was not idle either. He thought to himself that the list given by Li Ke must not be as simple as asking him to win three Jinshi. If there is another statement, I have to ask Di Renjie to analyze it to see if there is a trap here.

The two of them had their own thoughts and came to Inspiration Temple. At this time, Inspiration Temple was full of good men and women, both of whom came to visit Xuanzang of Tang, who opened an altar for several days to explain the scriptures to the people.

Looking at the thousands of people, Li Ke said in surprise: "It's really unexpected that Monk Xuanzang has such a reputation among the people! Didn't he just go to India and brought back a few scriptures? How could he be so famous?"

Wang Ping'an said: "It takes nearly twenty years for Tianzhu to be away from here for a hundred and eight thousand miles. It is necessary to say that hard work is certain, and it is normal for the people to respect him."

Li Ke snorted and said, "What should I do? I can't get in at all. I still want to say a few words to Monk Xuanzang!"

"Or why should we go to the back door?" Wang Ping'an suggested.

Li Ke waved his hand and said, "I am not a person who is going to the back door. Since there are so many people here, it's better not to see you now. You can see it at night during the Lantern Festival. It's not too late to talk to him about scriptures. You can go in by yourself and go to Chengtian Gate early in the evening." After that, he turned his horse's head and left.

Wang Ping'an grinned behind and thought to himself: "This person is really enough to say that he has reached the door and he has to go in. Isn't he the one who has walked through the back door? Then what is the list he just gave himself? Isn't that just going through the back door?" Shaking his head, he also turned his horse's head and entered the Inspiration Temple through the back door.

After Li Ke walked away, he waved to his guard captain and said, "I have tested it. Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji do have a gap, but it is not clear how the conflict arises. Send someone to check it carefully. How they are dirty? Find it out quickly and report it to me."

The captain of the guard asked, "Where should I start from and where should I start to check?"

Li Ke thought for a while and said, "The news was originally from Ganye Temple, so start to check it out. At that time, Wang Ping'an ran to find Li Zhi and told him what he said, who was present at that time, and whether Li Zhi had any abnormal actions, he had to thoroughly investigate it. There should be no omission."

The captain of the guard agreed and began to think about how to start checking.

Let’s talk about Wang Ping’an returning to Inspiration Temple. He sent someone to inform Tang Xuanzang that the emperor ordered him to go to Chengtianmen to watch the lanterns and ask Tang Xuanzang to prepare in advance. He entered his room and saw Di Renjie and others in the room.

Wang Ping'an said: "You are here just in time. I'm going to find you if you have something to do. By the way, why don't you study in the small manor? Why are you running back for something?"

Di Renjie stood up, took off his outer robe, and said, "I was in a state of uneasy these days and couldn't read the books, so I came back to find my elder brother. Brother, have the questions for the scientific examination been released?"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You have learned to go through the back door, and you left this directly, and you even asked the test questions." He said: "I've been here a long time ago. I knew it last year. Changsun Wuji told me in person."

Di Renjie was shocked and shouted, "I've come down long ago? Brother, why don't you tell me!"

Wang Ping'an said angrily: "You are so unpromising. You can't answer the paper by yourself and pass the exam firmly!"

Di Renjie blinked his eyes and said, "It's not difficult to pass the exam by himself. I still have this confidence, but now I have to pass the exam, it's more difficult. I can't rely solely on my elder brother to apply for the test papers. I have to work hard on myself."

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "What I can't tell you in advance is not because you are afraid that you will not speak out strictly, but because you are afraid that you will pay attention to things in that aspect when you speak or read books, and you will guess it. Wouldn't that cause trouble?"

After a pause, he said again: "But it doesn't matter now. You will have to start a subject after the Lantern Festival. After so many days, as long as you are careful and less likely to be in contact with others, you will not be afraid of leaking the test questions. If you listen carefully, there are two questions about policy discussions. One is a new method for disaster relief, and the other is a smallpox disease, which must be one of them. Among them, the new method for disaster relief is more likely."

Di Renjie whispered and said, "So these two questions are the ones, I should have expected them long ago."

"You think you are a god and can even predict the test questions!" Wang Ping'an said casually, sat down on the chair, took out the list, and looked at it.

Di Renjie said: "It's really something I should have expected. When my elder brother met me, he was also a scholar to take the exam. But soon after, he transformed himself into the deputy chief examiner. With my elder brother's age and qualifications, why did he become the deputy chief examiner? It's not because these two questions are related to you, and you don't need to take the exam at all. The result is good, it's fine if you don't take the exam, but in turn, we took the exam and became a teacher from the same year."

Wang Ping'an laughed twice, looked at the list carefully, and confirmed that there was no one he knew.

Di Renjie walked slowly in the room, thinking about how to answer. As long as he knew the question, everything would be easy. For him, it would not be difficult to make two strategies.

Wang Ping'an put the list on the table and said, "Brother, don't think about the argument first. Look at this list and see if there are people you know in it."

He did not directly say the names of the three people, but asked Di Renjie to see them himself.

Di Renjie nodded, sat at the table, picked up the list, and said, "I'm not familiar with these people... Hey, I know this, I haven't met you, but I know who it is."

He pointed to a name on the list, which happened to be one of the three names given by Li Ke.

Wang Ping'an said: "If you haven't met before, how can you know each other? But the elders know each other?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It's not because the elders know each other, but because he has heard about this person's elders." He pointed to the name of the person and said, "This person's surname is rare and his ancestral home is here, so it's easy to determine who it is. I heard that this person's grandfather offended Changsun Wuji, but was killed by Changsun Wuji."

Wang Ping'an's eyes flashed and he asked, "What else?"

Di Renjie looked down at the list, thinking while looking. After a moment, he pointed out the two people and said, "The situation of these two people is the same as the previous one. They are descendants of Changsun Wuji's opponents. Are they also scholars? Those who want to take the exam for the current exam?"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "That's right. It was one person who asked me to win these three people, and all three of them were from the Jinshi class."

Di Renjie said a word and pointed to the list and said, "Brother, as long as Lord Changsun is in power for one day, these three people will not be able to pass the exam. If you take care of these three people, don't say whether you can take care of them. As long as you mention it, it will be like offending Lord Changsun completely. The person who gives you this list will be malicious."

Wang Ping'an yelled and said, "As expected, it's really a trap. Guess who gave me this list?"

Di Renjie lowered his eyelids, thought for a moment, raised his eyes, and said, "It must be King Li Ke of Wu!"
