Chapter 2595 The two of you know where Wang Xuance's mansion is, right?
If you want to wait for the news from Lingnan Road to be delivered back, no matter how fast it is, it cannot be solved in ten days and a half.
Fortunately, the news from Chang'an came back within a few days.
"It was found out that that night, Wang Xuance and others stayed at Ping An Yi, fifty miles west of Chang'an City."
"The postmaster saw the Wang family's chariot from Jingzhao arriving outside the Ping An Post, and Wang Jinzhong, the manager of the Wang family whom he knew, was standing beside the car.
He also named me by name, my master wants to see Wang Xuance."
"...The postmaster said that Wang Xuance got out of the carriage without enough incense sticks, and the old man in the carriage advised him to think more about it."
"After Royal Lord Bo flatly refused, he went straight back to the post house, and the team of the Jingzhao Wang family also left straight away..."
"The fact that there was a postman in Ping'an Post can also prove it. A few days later, I heard a lot of unfavorable news from Luoyang that was unfavorable to the royal lord Bo.
After drinking, the postmaster even said to his left and right postmates that Wang Xuance was too arrogant and dared to despise the head of the Wang family, so he was treated like this..."
"Your Majesty... I inspected the imperial examination papers of Wang Xuance in the Imperial Examination in the third year of Zhenguan in the Ministry of Civil Service.
Being rated as the lowest-ranking person, this is the original test paper of Wang Xuance..."
While talking, Li Shimin picked up the wooden box in front of him and opened it, revealing the slightly old paper inside.
As soon as you look at it, you can see the handwriting on the test paper. I can't say how good the calligraphy is, but it is quite satisfactory, and it can be clearly seen that it is done in one go.
In the Jinshi Department of the Tang Dynasty, the subjects to be tested were the Five Ways of Current Affairs and One Classic.
And this post is exactly the "Yao Canon" of "Yu Shu" in "Shang Shu".
Following Li Shimin's instructions, Zhao Kun quickly brought a copy of "Shang Shu". After Li Shimin personally compared it, he found that it contained a thousand words, with only three words wrong and two sentences missing.
After Li Shimin carefully admired the next five current affairs policies one by one, he did not speak for a long time.
There was enough incense, and Li Shimin murmured in a deep voice. "Such a crucial current affairs policy, and this top-notch advice, why can't you get it?"
The embroiderer in front of him quickly prostrated himself on the ground. Although he had countless things to say, he did not dare to make a sound.
I can only murmur quietly in my heart, I am not a doctor in the civil service examination, who he chooses and why he chooses this way, that is his freedom, okay?
Oh no, it can’t be said to be his freedom. After all, whoever is chosen to win the election has already been determined, right?
Fortunately, Li Shimin did not expect the embroiderer to answer him, but instead uttered another sentence full of unwillingness and anger.
"The imperial examination is difficult to come by, and ordinary people from poor families cannot get into it..."

"One to three...what's going on with your dad? It's been a few days and there's still no movement?"
"One to ten... I don't know, maybe something has delayed it, or maybe he wants to wait a little longer."
"Well... after all, it's not easy for us to inquire about this matter. Hey, Lao Xu, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you act quickly?"
"Yes, yes... I'm a one-on-one, two-for-one."
"……Pass."
"I can't afford it..."
"Xiaguan Shunzi."
"……Pass!"
"I can't afford it!"
"bomb……"
"???Give it to me!"
"Oh, I've had it too."
"Three Belts and One, I'm a lower official, I have no more cards..."
"..." Cheng Chubi and Li Ke looked at the smiling Xu Jingzong with dark expressions on their faces. It was really unlucky, since this old guy got on the card table, his luck in playing cards was very good.
The two masters of chess and card games, Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke, looked pale after beating him. He would win at least seven or eight out of ten games.
"Xiaguan won again, oh, this is really embarrassing."
Xu Jingzong put on a flattering smile, braced himself, and carefully shuffled the cards under the gaze of these two bulging-eyed duo.
"Your Highness, Cheng Luoyang, the official is still..."
"It's still bullshit, keep going!" Cheng Chubi bulged his eyes unhappily.
"Why, I really don't believe it anymore. If you have the ability, you have bombs everywhere today."
"When you are on the poker table, there is no reason for the winner to withdraw from the table."
"That's right, keep going." Li Ke's mood was also very unhappy. He was the worst, okay? He hadn't won nearly twenty games.
Brother Chu Bi was able to grab a few landlords and turn defeat into victory, but after playing cards for so long, the biggest one he had ever seen was...
Facing these two people, Xu Jingzong felt really stressed inside. I felt that being able to play cards with these two people definitely represented an improvement in his recognition.
But the problem is that the brand quality of these two guys is obviously very bad, especially after losing Jiyan.
The problem is that my cards are so good that I can’t even believe it. If I don’t win and lose on purpose, I will also be criticized by these two guys. What do you mean, you look down on us brothers and think we can’t afford to lose?
This feeling of being in a dilemma and being caught between a rock and a hard place is really too painful.
Just when Xu Jingzong shuffled the cards and was about to ask the two losers to cut the cards, Li De quickly rushed into the room and reported in a low voice.
"Your Highness, General Zhao is here and wants Your Highness to go with Young Master Cheng."
Seeing Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke quickly get up and walk quickly outside the house, Xu Jingzong finally let out a sigh of relief.
I finally felt relaxed. Next time these two asked me to join the table, I would be beaten to death.

When Cheng Chubi and Li Ke entered the Luoyang government office, they saw Zhao Kun standing on horseback, and a very low-key carriage was surrounded by a group of guards in disguise.
At this time, the car window opened, and a hand stretched out from inside and hooked towards Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke.
The two juniors had no choice but to give up their plan of riding, quickly came to the carriage and got into it.
Then he saw a kind smile on Li Shimin's face, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. This made his own son Li Ke, who got into the carriage first, stunned.
"Why are you blocking me? Come in quickly." Before Li Ke could salute, Brother Chu Bi's unhappy shouting came from behind.
"..." The smile on Li Shimin's face froze, and then he saw the fat and strong Cheng Sanlang squeeze in, and then sat side by side with Na Keer facing him.
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law. I wonder why my father-in-law came to see my son-in-law and His Highness today?" Cheng Chubi asked curiously after bowing respectfully.
Li Shimin did not answer, but ordered to set off. When the carriage started slowly, he looked at the two young men and said.
"You two know where Wang Xuance's mansion is, right?"
"I want to see him today, but it's not convenient for him to come to the palace."
Hearing this, both Cheng Chubi and Li Ke couldn't help but feel secretly happy, which at least meant that their efforts were not in vain.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty finally became curious about the powerful Wang Xuance of the Tianzhu Continent.
