Chapter 138 Sweep out the door
Zhang Bairen was purely speechless. The imperial examination was one of the feats of the Sui Dynasty. He broke the monopoly of the aristocratic family and gave countless poor scholars in the world a way to advance. He did not rely on the recommendations of the aristocratic family. This was a success for thousands of years, and the benefits of the aristocratic family were reduced.
Reform does not change at once, it takes a process. The military imperial examination was held for a while since Yang Guang ascended the throne, and even before Yang Guang ascended the throne, there was already rumors among the people. Otherwise, how could Zhang’s mother say that her son was taking the civil and military officer exam?
It's strange that Zhang Bairen was curious about how his mother was so sure that she would have the courage to break the monopoly of the clan and hold the imperial examination in the martial arts?
Although martial arts are lower than literary arts, they are more important than literary arts.
The clans can tolerate Yang Jian's literary examination, but in this world where martial arts are ubiquitous...
Thinking of this, Zhang Bairen was unsure of his mother's identity. His mother's identity was too mysterious and definitely not as simple as he saw it.
Queen Xiao looked at Zhang Bairen with her eyes. Zhang Bairen looked at each other calmly. After a while, she heard Queen Xiao say, "This is true, but Your Majesty has this will. It's just that this matter is still brewing, constantly testing the bottom line of the aristocratic families."
Zhang Bairen laughed when he heard this: "Your Majesty's courage is commendable."
"What do you think of me?" Queen Xiao said.
"This move sets a precedent for ancient and modern times. Your Majesty will definitely be favored by poor families in the world. However, after all, the right to speak is in the hands of the aristocratic family, and Your Majesty still needs to slowly seek it." Zhang Bairen said: "Your Majesty's move has violated the interests of the aristocratic family."
Empress Xiao was silent after hearing this, and after a while, she said: "Your Majesty claims to be comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and not allow the ancients to do great things, of course, he must do great things."
"What are you going to do about Pei Renji?" Empress Xiao looked at Zhang Bairen.
"It's official, the Governor is cheating me, and he actually stuffed this hot potato into my hands." Zhang Bairen stood up and looked at the sky: "It's getting late, and the officials are still ready to fight wits and courage with Lord Pei, and ask the Empress to accuse him."
"Go! Go!" Queen Xiao waved her hand and took a sip of tea slowly.
Seeing Zhang Bairen walking away, Queen Xiao sighed softly: "This kid!"
Back at the mansion, Zhang Bairen practiced swordsmanship for a while, comprehended Hunyuan a little, and held the handwritten copy of the Tao Te Ching in his hand and studied it carefully.
Water is the thing closest to the way of heaven in this world, and it is invisible and wonderful.
A night pearl shines in the room, and Zhang Bairen sits under the night pearl and looks at the books.
After a while, he suddenly said: "I forgot that the orphan and widowed mother of the sixth son are still in the imperial prison."
"Snapdragon" Zhang Bairen said.
"The official is here" Snapdragon pushed the door and walked in.
"You go and release Yun Niang from the prison. It's not easy for an orphan and widowed mother," said Zhang Bairen.
"Sir, let's go tomorrow! The imperial prison will not stop until night." Snapdragon had a bitter face.
"Then tomorrow, don't forget!"
"Thank you for your understanding." Snapdragon flattered.
Zhang Bairen put down the Tao Te Ching in his hand, slowly stood up and looked at the bright moon in the sky. A beauty was holding a jade rabbit, and the height was cold.
"The Heavenly Palace of God Realm" Zhang Bairen withdrew his gaze, covered his night pearl, took off his clothes and fell asleep.
As soon as the next day, Zhang Bairen got up to meditate and practice, then after breakfast, he walked towards Pei's mansion.
This time, Zhang Bairen wore the clothes of the Military Machinery Secret Mansion and led a dozen guards to Pei Mansion. The guards at the door looked at the leading governor and felt familiar no matter how they looked.
"The military secretary's supervisor came to visit," Zhang Bairen said slowly.
"Please, please, sir," said the guard quickly.
"Everyone, my master is not at home, please come back." A housekeeper walked out slowly and stood in the road ahead.
Looking at the butler, Zhang Bairen touched the sword on his waist: "Are you not at home? The guards of the Military Machinery Secretariat have been staring at him. Lord Pei has been at home. But the butler should not imprison me. If it hinders the case, moving the house will be small, and siege and exterminate the clan will be big."
"Oh, do you think I'm scared?" The housekeeper said with his neck, "This is Pei's Mansion, not the Military Machinery Secret Mansion. Don't show off your power here. If you want to show off your power, you may have found the wrong place."
"I am an official appointed by the court to do business for the court. You are just a housekeeper in Bai Ding. You dare to talk to me like this. If I kill you, I believe Your Majesty will not say much." Zhang Bairen's expressionless face.
"Boy, you dare to do it!" the housekeeper said with his neck.
"Why don't you dare!" Zhang Bairen grabbed the hilt of the sword with his palm and was about to explode, but a gloomy scolding came: "Stop."
The “Master” said respectfully.
"I am Pei Renji, the Military Intelligence Mansion is becoming more and more rampant. After all, I am the imperial court granted the imperial court official. You are too unwilling to take my guards seriously." Pei Renji finished speaking, but when he saw the crowds of people coming out of the surrounding area, a group of soldiers and generals surrounded the secret mansion.
If I had known that Pei Renji was a difficult bone to crack, I would have taken the opportunity to go against the Military Academy and find the place back, but I didn't expect that Pei Renji would be so merciless, which shows that Pei Renji's hatred for the Military Academy and did not hide anything.
"Mr. Pei, everyone is doing things for the court, there is no need to do this!" Zhang Bairen looked at the hard bows that were being pulled, and his scalp suddenly became numb.
Under the hard bow, no matter what kind of warrior you are, as long as you cannot become successful in your bones, you will inevitably die.
Even if you become a powerful man with Yi Gu, you will have stronger crossbow arrows to deal with it.
"I am a court official and have a clean fortune. You waited for the Military Bureau to go to handle the case, but came to the government to make trouble. You really don't take this official's eyes. If you don't withdraw, don't blame me for being rude." Pei Renji looked cold and shining: "It's a pity that you have a bright future at a young age. You actually joined the Military Bureau to be accomplice to the tiger. If your parents knew about it, they would definitely strangle your rebellious son to death."
Zhang Bairen was speechless. The old man Pei Renji had a very deep hatred for the Military Machinery Secret Mansion. He didn't cooperate at all. Instead, he wanted to do it himself and leave himself and others here.
Zhang Bairen finally knew why Snapdragon Tiger said that the people from the Military Machinery Secret Mansion were going to go around when they met this guy.
"Mr. Pei, the canal drawings are very involved and are related to the fate of the Great Sui Dynasty. There is no need to say more about the importance of the matter..." Zhang Bairen had a gloomy face.
"Don't talk to me. It's useless to say so much. My government is full of trustworthy people. It is absolutely impossible for a rebel party to appear." Pei Renji waved his hand, his voice serious and powerful.
What else can Zhang Bairen say? Facing Pei Renji who is unable to get into oil and salt, no wonder Yang Su has to avoid it.
"You go, this time I won't be held accountable for trespassing into my official residence. If there is another time... I will definitely keep you all," said Pei In-ki.
Listening to Pei Renji's words, Zhang Bairen's face turned gloomy and turned around and left.
Seeing Zhang Bairen leading the guards away, the housekeeper said, "Sir, you can sweep this kid out and lose face to the Military Academy Secretariat."
"Flies do not bite seamless eggs. Since the Military Machinery Secretariat has come to you, there must be some clues. Send someone to search carefully to see if there is really something abnormal. Don't leave a handle for the Military Machinery Secretariat," said Pei Renji.
"Don't worry, sir, go and investigate now." The housekeeper hurriedly left.
Looking at the butler's back as he left, Pei Renji's face turned gloomy and a shadow appeared in his heart: "The Military Academy will never come to the door for no reason to disgust me."
"No wonder the warrior sneaked into Pei's mansion. Either Pei Renji deliberately protected her, or she saw that Pei Renji was not in the way of dealing with our military secret residence, so she deliberately hid in Pei's mansion." Zhang Bairen was swept out of the house, and her face was calm.
"I can't bear it! Since the establishment of the Military Machinery Secret Mansion, the one who saw our Military Machinery Secret Mansion was not respectful and polite. This old boy actually swept us out, which will inevitably make people laugh in the future. The Military Machinery Secret Mansion was so majestic that he was about to explode. It was so embarrassing. If he said it in the future, he would be sneered by his brothers.
"Don't say it's useless. It's important to catch the warrior and find the Hetu. I'll do something shameful, and what other face is needed." Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly: "Let's go, monitor the Pei Mansion closely. You still need to contact the Grand Commander to deal with this matter."
As he spoke, he returned to the Zhang Mansion. Zhang Bairen began to write to Yang Su to tell the story.
Yang Su had expected this incident long ago, and deliberately worked in Jiangdu for a few days to study this bastard in front of the emperor.
The letter was delivered quickly, and Zhang Bairen sighed softly: "It's really hard to do anything, and there are times when the Military Machinery Secretariat doesn't buy it."
