Zhang Yuezheng was thinking that this cross-examination would definitely be necessary, but since he had not cheated, he was not afraid.
However, Zhang Yue was still a little afraid. As a good young man who had just graduated and traveled across time, he had never interacted with a government office.
As the saying goes, one cannot be born into a public family. Why do you say this? It’s just a bad word.
Zhang Yue was very uneasy at the moment. He saw that other people who traveled through time had a protagonist aura or a supporting role that reduced intelligence. Why was it so difficult for him? He was frightened even if he got third place in the exam.
Could it be popular if my own experience was adapted into a time-travelling movie? What stupid author has to have trouble with the market to write like this?
When Zhang Yue was thinking carefully, Wang Anguo happened to find Zhang Yue that day. There was a man beside him who was a few years younger than him, but looked somewhat similar.
After Wang Anguo introduced him, Zhang Yue learned that the other party was Wang Anli, the younger brother of Wang Anshi and Wang Anguo. This man's cousin was Hefu, and he was the youngest of Wang Anshi's seven brothers.
It so happened that Wang Anli and Zhang Yue took the exam in the same subject, and he ranked sixth in the Kaifeng Prefecture exam.
Wang Anli had been studying hard behind closed doors at home. Wang Anguo repeatedly said that he would introduce this younger brother to Zhang Yue. Now there was a chance and the two met and got to know each other.
Wang Anli saluted reservedly, and he seemed to be quite arrogant.
Then the three of them found a restaurant to sit down.
Of course Zhang Yue is good at money this time. Wang Anguo has always treated Zhang Yue very naturally and treated Zhang Yue openly and openly.
Moreover, Wang Anguo often brought a group of friends together. Who could stand it if it were anyone else, but Zhang Yue didn't care.
After the food and wine were served, Wang Anguo first said to Zhang Yue: "Last time Sanlang visited my house, my fourth brother was in a bad mood, so he didn't see you. Don't take it personally."
Zhang Yue knew that he had been rejected by Wang Anshi the last time he went to court.
Zhang Yue said: "It's okay. I've admired your brother's name for a long time. Unfortunately, I've been in Beijing for three years and haven't had the opportunity to meet him. If there is such a good opportunity in the future, please introduce him to me."
Although Zhang Yue received many rejections from Wang Anshi, he still refused to give up.
Speaking of which, Fu Bi, Wu Chong, Chen Shengzhi, Han Zhongyan, and Wen Jifu all expressed their appreciation for Zhang Yue since time travel. However, apart from Zhang Yue's surrender to Ouyang Xiu, the only one who has turned to Wang Anshi is Wang Anshi.
Why do you have to hug Mr. Anshi’s lap?
The most important thing is that the two have similar political views.
Those who want to do things can only exert their energy when they are with the people who want to do things.
It is very important to have consistent political opinions in the officialdom, and sometimes it even exceeds the ties of blood, family ties and interests.
If Prime Minister Anshi did not take him in, Zhang Yue could only do the next best thing and go to Lu Huiqing to find a solution.
If Lu Huiqing fails, Zhang Yue will find Zhang Dun. This decision is impossible.
As for Cai Bian and Cai Jing? They haven't entered the officialdom yet.
At this time, Wang Anli heard that Zhang Yue admired his brother very much, so he said: "If you are interested in saving him, I will help him to talk to him."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Hefu."
Wang Anli smiled and regained his seriousness and asked: "Does Sanlang know about the Imperial College and Kaifeng Prefecture's solution to the examination fraud case this time?"
Zhang Yue said: "I know a little bit about it. I heard that it was caused by a failed exam."
Wang Anli said: "That's true. Although there are many candidates admitted to the Imperial College and Kaifeng Prefecture, there are even more candidates who have failed. It is inevitable that some people will complain."
“I heard before that an examiner at the Imperial College was found to have mistakenly selected a candidate with the wrong rhyme. This incident caused an uproar among the failed candidates. Dozens of examiners have already submitted a letter to the Kaifeng Prefecture to investigate the matter.”
Wang Anguo sighed: "In the past, it was up to the examiners to select scholars, and the candidates below had nothing to say. Now that we have made a point to obtain scholars, the examinees dare to question it."
After hearing this, Zhang Yue thought to himself, yes, the writing of the examination papers has been tacitly allowed, so the examiner's favoritism is actually not a very serious behavior in the eyes of many scholar-bureaucrats.
Zhang Yue said: "This is the examiner who chose the wrong rhyme. I heard that the Kaifeng Mansion is going to review our papers. When the time comes, we will inevitably have to go to the official gate to explain clearly."
Wang Anguo said: "Du Zhi, my brother and Cai Fuyin like to fight tea on weekdays. The two of us can be considered a one-sided acquaintance. If Du Zhi has any trouble, we can run for you."
Wang Anli nodded.
Zhang Yue looked at the two brothers and thought that they were really brothers. This meal was really not in vain.
But Zhang Yue thought about it and said, "Thank you both very much, but Zhang is not afraid of the shadows. If he comes to explain, it will look like a guilty conscience to outsiders, so I still thank you two for your kindness."
Hearing this, Wang Anli nodded slightly and said to himself, this Zhangdu is really an honest gentleman and a friend who can be associated with him.
Wang Anguo also kept silent after hearing this.
After the banquet, Zhang Yue returned to Taixue, only to see He Qi suddenly come to the door.
Zhang Yue was surprised and said: "Brother He, I rarely see you here unless I have nothing to do."
He Qi saluted Zhang Yue and said, "Sanlang, if you have any regrets in the past, please don't take it to the bottom of your heart. I will apologize to you here."
What kind of fame is this?
Zhang Yue saw He Qi's anxious face, and quickly helped him up and asked: "Brother He, what are you talking about? How can you be sorry for me? You are too worried. What's the matter?"
He Qi looked at Zhang Yue and said, "It's really hard for me to talk about this matter about Sanlang, but when it comes to things... I dare to ask if you know Cai Fuyin of Kaifeng Prefecture?"
Zhang Yue knew it in his heart, but said blankly: "Brother He thinks highly of me too much. How can I recognize Cai Fuyin?"
He Qi asked: "Does Sanlang have any friends or acquaintances who can speak in front of Cai Fuyin?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, of course Ouyang Xiu and the brother Wang Anguo he just met can do it, but why should I help you?
Zhang Yue said: "How can I have such great powers? What on earth does Brother He have to do with Cai Fuyin?"
He Qi sighed and said: "Sanlang, I won't tell you the specific reason, but I still ask you to help me with this matter. As far as I know, Prime Minister Ouyang knows you."
Ouyang Xiugang was appointed as Deputy Privy Envoy.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that He Qidu knew about his acquaintance with Ouyang Xiu. It should be noted that Zhang Yue usually kept silent about this in Taixue. This person was so pervasive that it made people feel frightened.
Zhang Yue said: "We do have some friendship, but Prime Minister Ouyang doesn't know Brother He, so how can he be willing to help?"
He Qidao: "I am now in urgent need of medical treatment. If Sanlang is interested, please give me a chance to meet the Prime Minister. He will be very grateful."
Zhang Yue frowned and said: "The Prime Minister is busy with everything, even if I don't see him once a year, Brother He, you are really making things difficult for me. I'll give it a try, but Brother He, don't get your hopes up."
Zhang Yue will definitely not help He Qi, but why not refuse directly, because it will not be good for him to break his face with a villain like He Qi.
So Zhang Yue agreed to help superficially.
He Qi is also a powerful person. From Zhang Yue's tone, he also sensed that there was little hope that the other party would help, and he did not even want to say anything in the situation.
However, Zhang Yue did not expect that he would get an opportunity to meet Cai Xiang.
It turns out that one day Wang Anshi took Wang Anguo and Wang Anli to visit Cai Xiang's house. Wang Anli happened to mention Zhang Yue and mentioned that he refused to find a way.
After Cai Xiang heard about it, he sent someone to ask Zhang Yue to visit his house.
Ps: There is a lot going on today, and there will be a big chapter tomorrow.
