On the third day of living in Xiangfu, at dusk.

Xie Ziqi was invited to the Royal Library of Rongshanyuan in the name of antique identification.

Rongshan courtyard is a place where women's family members and servants are forbidden to enter and leave. There are only six dumb servants in the courtyard, two of them are sweepers, two of them serve tea, and two of them are attendants.The dumb servant in the courtyard has no card in his hand, and he is not allowed to leave the mountain courtyard.

The butler sent Xie Ziqi to the gate of Rongshan Courtyard and left. Xie Ziqi walked slowly into Rongshan Courtyard with his sleeves on.Smelling a fragrance at the tip of his nose, Xie Ziqi skimmed towards the fragrance. Under a flower tree, a man wearing a scarf raised his head and smiled at Xie Ziqi. The jade-white gown followed him up, drawing a brilliance .

fox.

Xie Ziqi's evaluation of the first side of men.

beautiful jade.

Men's evaluation of Xie Ziqi's first face.

"It's not the leaves or the flowers, but it's fragrant. Do you want tea?" The man handed the tea to Xie Ziqi.

It turned out that the fragrance was exactly the fragrance of tea, and it smelled very pleasant.

"No." Xie Ziqi refused.

"The half-wall mountain house is waiting for the bright moon, and a cup of clear tea is rewarding a bosom friend, why don't you drink it?" So far, no one has dared to refuse his overture.The man looked clean, poured the tea on the ground, turned and left.

The fragrance was more intense, he rejected him, naturally not because of the tea, but because of people.Xie Ziqi hates all those who stand tall in front of him, he was about to lift his foot.

"My lord, wait for me." A man was sweating profusely, dragging his shoes, and rushed to Xie Ziqi in a hurry.

"Ah, you look so good-looking." The man stared blankly at Xie Ziqi's face, which instantly turned black.

Xie Ziqi hated people saying that he had a good-looking face.

When he traveled to Li County, he debated with local students. During the debate, the other party looked at him frequently until they blushed. In the end, no one came to the stage, so he was judged to win.This incident was brought up countless times by Zhuangyuanlang's rivals, and even the emperor asked him to look up to the saint during the palace examination because of this anecdote, which caused rumors in Kyoto that he was favored by the saint because of his face.Therefore, this past event became one of the most impressive black histories in his life.From then on, he hated all the things that made fun of his good-looking face.

Xie Ziqi's face darkened instantly, he shook his sleeves and left, but the man grabbed his hand.

"Young master, come with me, or you won't be able to find the place." The man said threatening words, but his face was smiling.

"No need." Xie Ziqi broke free from the man's hand, and stepped into the imperial library.

Looking at Xie Ziqi's leaving back, the man reached out for a flower and put it behind his ear. "Tsk tsk, this flower really has to be worn in Xie Ziqi's hair. It's a pity that he actually told the Prime Minister that he would not take the imperial examination."

One day ago, in Xiangye's study, he saw all the information about Xie Ziqi from birth to apprenticeship to Beijing imperial examination.The Xie family in the south of the Yangtze River is the power of the current prince, and the Prime Minister who firmly supports the third prince is a natural enemy.Therefore, most people voted against whether to let Xie Ziqi enter the Yushulou.But today, Master Xiang asked Xie Ziqi to attend the meeting.

In just one day, what happened made Xiangye change his mind, and he found it very interesting.

I don't know what difficulties Xie Ziqi will encounter when entering the Yushulou for the first time, he is very much looking forward to it.He was very embarrassed back then.

The man entered the Yushulou, and there were countless roads extending from the four directions of the southeast, the north, and the west.But he turned a blind eye, walked directly to a wall full of books, stopped at the far right, scrambled, and took out a thick copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", and popped out a dark book from the wall. Grid, touch, the bookshelf is separated from the wall, just the size of a space for one person, he stepped into that space, thumped, and fell instantly.

Coming out of the space, the man saw a few staff members who often chatted on weekdays, all of them looked like they had seen a ghost.

"Wangzhi, what's the matter with you all? Didn't you say that you want to play tricks on that new staff member? Why are you staring blankly? Although he may not be able to enter at all, maybe he will be locked up somewhere because of the trigger mechanism, but he can't." Careless, but I saw him down there?"

"Look up, look behind you."

"Are you talking about me?" Xie Ziqi took the book and walked slowly from behind Yangzhi to in front of him.

"I really failed your expectations." Xie Ziqi walked past him, looked up and saw the title of the book "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", his vision was dim.

Xie Ziqi just put "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" on the bookshelf, looked up at the space under his feet, and suddenly moved.

"Sorry, I made a mistake." Xie Ziqi took out "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" from the bookshelf and put it in his hand. He frowned, as if thinking about where to put it.

"Give it to me." Master Xiang came from a dark place and walked towards Xie Ziqi.

Xie Ziqi handed the book to Xiang Ye, and Xiang Ye handed the book to the dumb servant beside him, and did not continue to say anything.

Xie Ziqi glanced at Yang Zhi boredly, and Yang Zhi's tears almost flowed down.It seemed that this young genius held a grudge.

Master Xiang is in front, and Xie Ziqi is behind.Yang Zhi walked in parallel with the others, a few steps behind Xie Ziqi. "

Yang Zhi lost his temper at the others, "Why didn't you remind me that Xie Ziqi came up long ago?

The other staff members had a bitter face, they had planned to give Xie Ziqi a blow, so they never expected Xie Ziqi to find the secret way by himself.And the problem they had was solved by Xie Ziqi in a few clicks. They didn't want Yang Zhi to know about such a shameful thing.

"That didn't come in time, calm down, and set him up when we have a meeting."

The prime minister at the front walked another dozens of steps, and a dumb servant opened the door with a key. Everyone sat around a round table, and the prime minister sat down behind the case.

Two dumb servants served tea, while Yang Zhi and other staff were still arguing about eyebrows and eyes.

Xie Ziqi didn't look at the crowd, and took a sip of tea, feeling that it was far worse than the man's tea under the flower tree.

That man is not among the staff, not the son of the prime minister, who could it be?Xie Ziqi only took a sip before putting down the tea, thinking for a moment, a fleeting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The prime minister arched his hands to the sky, "This morning, the emperor asked about the chief examiner of the imperial examination. Do you have anyone to recommend?"

Yang Zhi replied: "It's better to recommend Gu Yan, Minister of the Household Department. He has accomplished several major events this year, and the emperor happened to favor him with the honor of chief examiner. More importantly, although he is not one of us, he is not the right minister either." people. We recommend him, even if we can't pull him into our camp, it will be easy to grant money to do things in the future."

Wang Zhi said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to operate, I heard that the right minister is going to recommend a grand tutor."

Xiang Ye nodded. "The Taifu said today that the compilation of "Lanshu" has been completed, and the Holy One is very happy. The crown prince has not made any mistakes in the past few days. Today, when he answered the question, the Holy Majesty even praised him a few words. The Holy Majesty is very affectionate. If the crown prince said a few words at the side, The chief examiner falls on the Taifu."

The other staff members said a few words, which were also general.

This matter is more difficult. Compared with the Hubu Shangshu who only has the title of Jinshi, the Taifu who once won the Sanyuan is not only a bachelor, but also the teacher of the prince.If there is no accident, the title of chief examiner will definitely fall into the hands of the Taifu.

Yang Zhi and Wang Zhi suddenly looked at Xie Ziqi who had been silent all this time.

"Master Ziqi, tell me your opinion?" Everyone looked at Xie Ziqi who was holding up the tea.

Master Xiang glanced at everyone, and looked at Xie Ziqi with a little interest.

Yesterday, Zhe'er came over and begged Xie Ziqi to be his master.But in just one or two days, Xie Ziqi gained Zhe'er's favor.This made Xiang Ye, who knew all about Xie Ziqi's experience, also have some expectations, maybe he can do something amazing.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xie Ziqi felt no pressure.

He opened his mouth slowly, but said an irrelevant topic, "After the compilation of "Lanshu", has the emperor sent someone to overhaul it?"

Xiang Ye replied: "No, the Holy One was overjoyed, and printed the "Lan Shu" and put them in the Imperial College, Taixue and other places."

Xie Ziqi held the tea and put it in front of his mouth. Everyone eagerly wanted to listen to the following, hoping that Xie Ziqi would drink the tea quickly, but Xie Ziqi just sniffed it and put it in his hand again.

"It's better for Xiang Ye to suggest that "Lanshu" be displayed, so that talented people all over the country can pick their mistakes, and one mistake can be worth a thousand gold."

Master Xiang thought deeply, Yang Zhi and Wang Zhi were stunned, while the other staff members looked at each other in blank dismay, what does this mean?

Yang Zhi and Wang Zhi suddenly laughed: "As expected of Xie Tuizhi who is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River."

Xie Ziqi raised his head, glanced at Yang Zhi who was smiling, and in an instant, Yang Zhi understood what Xie Ziqi meant, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Xie Ziqi said: "The completion of "Lanshu" is a great cultural event in this dynasty, and it should be shared with the people of the world. It coincides with the imperial examination, and talents from all over the world gather in Beijing. If "Lanshu" is made public and invited to appreciate it, it will bring out the best in each other. ."

Master Xiang was noncommittal.

Seeing the Prime Minister's reaction, one of the aides asked: "When this book was compiled, it was compiled by the most famous literati in the world. I just said that if the crown prince and the right minister summoned the writers to check it in advance, there is nothing wrong with it. The Taifu's Isn’t the literary name even better? You’re giving the other party a boost.” Sure enough, it was a spy sent by the prince.

"Stupid." Xie Ziqi spit out two words slowly, without explanation, without even raising his eyes.

"The book of the world has no mistakes or omissions that I cannot find."

The staff turned red with anger, they had never seen such a disrespectful person, and they agreed to show him off, but he was the cannon fodder for Xie Ziqi to be fulfilled.

Master Xiang nodded, "What if the Grand Tutor disagrees and let the world find fault?"

Xie Ziqi said: "Presumably the Prime Minister can persuade His Majesty to agree."

Master Xiang nodded, let go of one thing on his mind, and looked better.

He asked the dumb servant to take out some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and put them on the table for everyone to taste.

"Besides the imperial examination, there is another important event. In one month's time, it will be the Holy Majesty's birthday. Take a look, which of these antiques, calligraphy, paintings and jade stones are suitable for the Holy Majesty?"

With his hands behind his back, Xie Ziqi glanced at the treasures on the table, not interested in picking up gifts for the emperor.He is more interested in this imperial library.For him, the secret passages, agencies, and treasured books are all more important than the emperor's gift.

"Ziqi, do you have any opinion?" Master Xiang asked.

The year before last, the nemesis of the Right Prime Minister sent a bucket of ginger, which he dubbed: Dominate the country.Last year, the enemy sent another map of mountains, rivers and rivers in 48 counties across the country.For two consecutive years, he has been overwhelmed by his deadly rival. This year, he will definitely present a good gift.Just now Ziqi solved a big problem, and now he is looking forward to a good idea from Ziqi.

Under the admiration of everyone and the expectation of the Prime Minister, Xie Ziqi did not give a direct answer, but asked, "Can the Prime Minister know in advance what others will give you?"

Master Xiang nodded: "The gifts are roughly the same every year, but the gift from the right minister has been a bit novel in the past two years." Spending less money won the hearts of the emperor and the people. He spent a lot of money, but he didn't make a good name.

"Whatever you send to the right, the master will give you. Just Xie Xizhi's "Sacred Son and Nephew Died in the Night Rain" is fine. The master will send the real one, and the one from the right will naturally be my fake one. "

Master Xiang couldn't help saying: "But it's hard to tell the truth from the fake."

"I can tell." Xie Ziqi replied.

"Okay." The Prime Minister looked at Xie Ziqi appreciatively.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go up to the emperor to announce "Lan Shu" to everyone. It's getting late, you all go to rest."

Led by the dumb servant, the crowd left.

The curtain on the second floor was lifted suddenly, and the man asked the Prime Minister, "Xie Ziqi, are you sure you're not going to end?"

"Yes, I sent people to investigate Xie's house in Jiangnan. Xie Ziqi has a grudge against the head of the house."

"Okay, very good. Although Xie Ziqi is proud of his talent, he is good at planning, and you will act according to his plan tomorrow. Bring me that painting and calligraphy."

The master asked the dumb servant to serve it.

"Sure enough, it's hard to tell the real from the fake. This fake painting was made by Xie Ziqi."

"Yes, my people in Nanshan Temple have told me so, there will be absolutely no falsehood."

"Okay, Xie Ziqi, you are really a genius. Watch him closely, don't let him leave the house easily, and don't let him fall into the hands of others. If he dares to rebel, kill him."

Mr. Xiang's body is a little shorter, and it seems that something hurts his kindness.

"I took these two calligraphy and paintings, and you can just give some jade or something as a gift."

"Yes."

The man left through another secret passage.

Staying in the garden, Xie Ziqi looked at the moon hanging in the sky through the window lattice.He took up a pen and wrote: the truth is false, the false is real, and the faintness is only me.

Today, he refused his tea first, then slapped the Prime Minister's staff for many years in the face, and even played two tricks in a row, just like a arrogant and talented man with a big tone.Maybe that man still thinks he is a madman who is proud of his talent.

Xie Ziqi chuckled softly, and burned the word on the candle.He murmured: "The good show is about to kick off, let him, an outsider, guide you a little bit."
