Dressed as Tang Bohu

After the turmoil of the fraud case, Xu Tai got in touch with Li Dongyang through Tang Ziwei's relationship.

He originally wanted to clear up for himself the number one scholar in the martial arts examination next year, but he didn't expect to pick up a big leak. Taking advantage of Zhu Youtang's relegation and punishment, he actually let one of his cronies enter the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the other into the Ministry of Justice. Jin Yiwei.Even his incompetent cousin Xu Ping entered the top [-] in the imperial examination this time, and he used some connections to stay in the capital as an official, which is considered an extra help.

Now Xu Tai can be regarded as having good eyes and ears in the palace, and has some influence.And the greatest credit, of course, should be attributed to Tang Ziwei.

Xu Tai is an ambitious person, not even small.Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go to the martial arts exam to get a further opportunity when he already has the position of the hereditary Habayashi vanguard commander.

The news that Tang Ziwei had won the No. [-] Scholar, Xu Tai knew about it immediately.He was overjoyed at first, and then he began to think about how to meet Tang Ziwei and get in touch with each other again.

However, before he could express anything, news came from Jin Yiwei's subordinates.

Fu Xin, editor-in-chief of the Imperial Academy, died. Fu Shangshu, in grief, went straight to the emperor's study and rolled around, saying that he wanted to arrest a man named Lin Zhuo.Zhu Youtang sympathized with the pain of his son's loss, and sent Jin Yiwei to investigate the matter thoroughly.

These days, there is no news that Jin Yiwei can't find out. Lin Zhuo, a small man, how could he be so bold as to kill the son of the Minister of Rites?Zhu Youtang suspected that this had something to do with the sudden death of Cheng Minzheng's domestic servant during the trial of the fraud case. It was his second choice to comfort Fu Han. He wanted to find out who in the court had the courage to do these tricks behind the scenes.

Not long after Xu Tai received the news, the emperor's oral order also came.

"The prince is missing, Habayashi Qianwei, Habayashi Zuowei, search the whole city!"

What's the matter!Xu Tai pouted impatiently.This is not the first time that the crown prince has disappeared. Although His Majesty said to search, it is not possible to conduct a search with great fanfare like arresting a criminal, and tell everyone in the capital that the crown prince is missing.

It could only be done in secret, and it coincided with the day when the public announcement was made, the capital was overcrowded, even Xu Tai couldn't help but feel the pressure.He didn't dare to delay, summoned a group of Habayashi soldiers to pretend to be patrolling the city, and walked outside the palace.

After leaving the palace gate, Xu Tai summoned his subordinates, handed him the letter with the information, and said, "You send this letter to my cousin Xu Ping, and then come to Nancheng to find us."

No emperor likes to form cliques among his courtiers, so it is more secure for the note in this letter to be forwarded by Xu Ping, who is in the same class as Tang Ziwei.

"Yes!" The subordinate responded, took the letter, and trotted away from the team.

When found by that subordinate, Xu Ping was drinking and celebrating with two or three friends in Mingyu Building.He hadn't been to Fenglelou since that conflict with Tang Yin and Zhu Houzhao and suffered a loss. Now when he saw the content of the letter, Xu Ping subconsciously grimaced.

Seeing that his complexion was not good, the playmate at the side looked at each other and asked, "Brother Xu, what's the matter?"

"Brother Xu asked me to deliver a message to Tang Yin immediately."

"Tang Yin? New champion Tang Yin? Didn't you have a conflict with him last time..." The man half-spoken, saw Xu Ping's increasingly dissatisfied face, shut his mouth wisely, and said instead: "Since Commander Xu only It must not be an urgent matter to send someone down to deliver the letter, we are busy now, so it wouldn't be too much to ask Tang Yin to wait."

Xu Ping glanced at him, snorted and said, "That's right, then Tang Yin can be patient, he failed to teach him a lesson last time, and somehow got him in touch with Big Brother Xu, so I don't need any news for him."

Xu Ping casually put the letter with the note on the table, picked up his glass and said, "Come, drink!"

Several people clinked glasses, Xu Ping took a sip, smacked his lips and said: "He is just a gimmick, His Majesty has not even granted him an official position, let alone Brother Xu, when I take office, I will be from the seventh rank Official, he may not be better than me!"

"That's natural, natural." Several people echoed, with flattering smiles on their faces.

……

On the other side, Tang Ziwei dismounted early and was wandering the street with a few acquaintances.

"It's the first time I've come to this capital city. It's really prosperous and magnificent, completely different from ours!"

Tang Shen couldn't stay idle in Suzhou ever since the hearing test started. Fortunately, the restaurant at home was on the right track. He entrusted the hired shopkeeper and came all the way to the capital, intending to do some daily chores for Tang Ziwei. Let him concentrate on the palace exam.But he didn't expect that in the capital city, the palace examination had already ended, but it just happened to catch up with the Chuanlu Ceremony, and he could be regarded as seeing the heroic appearance of his elder brother.

Fa Xiao Zhang Ling went with him, and Wen Huiming, who was traveling around Ping'an County, also came.

Tang Ziwei hadn't seen them for several months, he walked slowly side by side with them with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile on his face, "The capital is lively, but it's also a place of right and wrong."

Wen Huiming glanced at him with eyes as calm as water, as if he had noticed something, but he didn't speak.It was Zhang Ling on the side who spoke.

"Ziwei, is it the Yang family's fault that you were imprisoned?"

Along the way, he and Tang Shen heard all kinds of rumors, and the inside story about the fraud case was more frightening than the other.

Fortunately, Tang Ziwei was almost fine by the time they found out, otherwise Tang Shen really wanted to fly over and fight those people.The number one scholar who the Tang family had finally confessed from a young age, how could they let others just say it?

Seeing that both of them looked at him with concern, Tang Zi felt warmed up, and replied, "Yes, but not all of them."

"The current emperor is a wise king, but there are many twists and turns under the water. I thought that bringing down Yang Renzhe would at least give me a place in the capital, but I didn't expect that even from the second rank In the eyes of some people, senior officials are just pawns that can be sacrificed. I am afraid it is not a wise move to step in now."

Tang Ziwei shook his head, obviously speechless about his unintentional stepping into Wang Pu's plot.

Zhang Ling didn't understand what Zhang Ling said to him at all, and only grasped the key words, "Yang Renzhe was brought down by you?!"

Tang Ziwei nodded, and said: "But the reputation of the Yang family is still there. Your Majesty let Yang Renchen resign because of jealousy, but he has no ill feeling towards the Yang family in his heart, and may even have some indebtedness. In this case, Yang Yuan and In the future, it will definitely not be comparable to ordinary officials.”

"In that case, why didn't you choose to leave the capital and return to Suzhou to work?" Wen Huiming said indifferently, "The Yang family will not pose a threat to you for at least three years. Doesn’t the wave of the tide have nothing to do with you?”

Tang Zi was taken aback.

Wen Huiming was quite right. His original purpose of the imperial examination was to get rid of the threat of the Yang family, live a good life, and live a free and easy life without interference.But for some reason, this should be the most suitable path, but he never thought of it from the beginning to the end.

Could it be that he couldn't think of it?Nor is it.He just ignored the choice subconsciously.

During the time he came to the capital—no, maybe earlier, when he killed Yang Yuanbin—his heart was already in turmoil.

His deepest true feelings about this dynasty are not opening his eyes to the antique buildings and streets every day, but the uninterrupted threats from people and forces of this era.

Tang Ziwei clearly remembered all the details of his feud with the Yang family until he came to the capital, but he couldn't remember how he lived a leisurely life in the past few years after quitting the old man's "business" in his previous life.

Probably because of being served comfortably, wandering around all day, or living alone in the house.You can get what you want, but there is no pain from the wound, no fear of being killed, no intrigue, and no more pleasure of the heart beating violently in a cavity of hot blood.

It's ridiculous that Tang Ziwei didn't realize until now that he wants to live and live well.But only when the heart is still beating is the real life.

Tang Ziwei's eyes were bright, looking at Wen Huiming, the corners of his lips curled up, "I won't go back to Suzhou, I'm just the number one scholar, it's not enough for me."

Zhang Ling and Tang Shen were taken aback by his words, but Wen Huiming smiled and nodded slightly.

The four of them stopped at some point, and there were people coming and going next to them. Suddenly, a young man rampaged and opened a path among the crowd, and came straight towards them.

Before people arrived, a bird with a pitch-black body rushed to Tang Ziwei first.
