Time passed quickly, and it was past noon.

After lunch, Li Huai waited calmly. Soon a carriage arrived outside the General's Courtyard. When the news came, Li Huai got up and left.

This trip took more than three hours.

Soon after he left the other courtyard, the news was passed from level to level, mainly to the hands of the Wen family.

"Wen Qing," Wen Ji, a younger generation of the Wen family who is known for his poetry, went to his elder brother Wen Qing with the news, "Do you think this inquiry will allow the child's true colors to be revealed?"

"Does this need to be said?" Wen Qing sneered as he listened, "He will definitely be embarrassed if he passes by this time. There is no other possibility!"

Wen Ji frowned and said, "Why do you see it?"

Wen Qing sneered and said: "Because he has been involved in the power struggle in Jingzhou! Do you really think that boy has such ability and can hit the point in every article? It wasn't the general who gave him the advice! Now the general

He left and was questioned alone. It would be strange if he didn't reveal his true colors!"

"No wonder, you deliberately said those words in front of the young master before, asking him to go back and spread the rumors, which ultimately led to this inquiry!" Wenji nodded, with admiration in his tone.

Wen Qing still sneered and said: "This is just the beginning. Just wait and see. Things that will embarrass him are still to come. Once the news of this inquiry is spread, the follow-up matters will be followed immediately. Those few

Among the great scholars, there are a few who can't get rid of the dirt in their eyes. They are the most serious in their actions. They will not make that boy feel comfortable. As the saying goes, if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. When he is ruined, our Wen family will be better.

Pick up the pieces!"

Wen Ji smiled and said: "This is the best. We should seize the opportunity of the current newspaper. In fact, it is not just our Wen family, but other families are dissatisfied with allowing such a young boy to take the lead, so

The reason why things went so smoothly this time was, of course, because of the general's expedition..."

"Don't take it lightly!" Wen Qing's face suddenly changed, as if he was recalling something, and he reminded him earnestly, "Just listen to what the other families said, but don't take it seriously. You must know that they have no regard for the general's current Nantun.

It is one thing to suppress Huangfu's child, but we must not really destroy the current public opinion."

"good!"

A voice came from outside the door, and then several young people were seen striding over.

"Wen Qing is right. The key now is to extract Huangfu's child. But it is not because of any personal grudges, but because with him blocking it, our Wen family cannot truly control our destiny. We have to rely on his articles as an outsider.

It is too dangerous to push the situation forward!"

Looking at the people approaching, Wen Qing and Wen Ji's expressions changed. The former frowned, while the latter hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"You don't need to be so polite. We are all brothers. You don't need to be so polite. When I came here this time, I knew that you two were well-informed, so I came here specifically to wait for the results, and then decide on a strategy based on the situation!"

Wen Qing asked: "What? You, Wenchang, have been very favored by your uncle recently. Could it be that you still can't figure out what will happen to the child?"

The man who was called Wenchang was the man walking at the front. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said: "Huangfu's child falsely claims to be a child prodigy. This is the root of the disaster. Countless people are staring at him. Today, he is ruined and has settled down. But as I said before

, after his reputation is ruined, it depends on the situation, not to bring disaster to the Wen family, but also to seize the opportunity to take control of the situation, which requires calculation. How to control the degree of this, we still have to wait for the news to come!"

As he spoke, he smiled faintly and said in a comforting tone: "Wen Qing, my uncle has been treating me differently recently, but don't worry about it too much. We are all members of the Wen clan and should be united, especially in this critical situation.

It’s a critical moment, let alone internal strife, don’t you think?”

Wen Qing just sneered and did not respond.

His behavior made several Wen clan members behind Wenchang lively. Some people tried to speak out, but Wenchang stopped them.

"The purpose of our coming here is not to be angry. Let's wait for the news." Wen Chang stopped the others and said with a smile, "Wen Qing, why don't you just ask me to stand here and wait for the news to spread? I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."

unfavorable."

Wen Qing snorted coldly, but still arranged for tea and tea in the pavilion in his yard. He knew very well that Wenchang had its own intelligence channels, so why did he need to come to him for questioning? The real purpose of coming here was undoubtedly to intimidate

Add warning.

Next, everyone sat down, some were talking, including Wenji, and Wenchang all praised and echoed, making Wenqing appear to be marginalized, as if this was not his home and he was just here as a guest.

generally.

This kind of atmosphere is undoubtedly what Wenchang needs, so he does not deliberately change it. In his plan, when the news comes, he will apply pressure and really suppress Wenqing. Even if he cannot subdue and win over the other party,

But there is no doubt that he can establish prestige among his peers, which will help him gain power step by step in the future.

But when the news really came, everyone was stunned.

"Say it again?" Even Wen Qing, who had the intention of watching Wenchang's performance, couldn't help but ask again after hearing his subordinate's report.

"It is said that Mr. Huangfu is highly valued by several great scholars and has received many compliments. He was invited to have dinner with him!"

"This is impossible!"

Before Wen Qing could say anything, a person behind Wen Chang couldn't help but stand up.

"My teacher is the most upright person, almost unkind. On weekdays, I just make the slightest mistake, and he will scold me. How can he, Huangfu's son, not be questioned? Could it be that there are a few great scholars who have received the general's instructions and intend to protect him?"

"That's not the case," the messenger continued after getting the detailed information, "many masters are very satisfied!"

"This..." Wen Qing was surprised, but then his mind moved and he looked at Wenchang. The man who spoke with certainty just now seemed to be in control. Now the situation has changed. Even he did not expect it. What he just said

How can we get off the stage now when we are making such nonsense?

Sure enough, Wenchang's face turned pale, but immediately he took a deep breath and said: "We still underestimated the Huangfu family. Mr. Huangfu is capable and has a wide range of friends. He may have some tricks. That Huangfu son,

It’s 80% that I’m hiding some trump card, it seems I need to think about it in the long run!”

Pooh!

So thick-skinned!

Listening to Wen Chang's calm expression, as if nothing happened, Wen Qing finally realized the gap between himself and the other party, but another question also came to his mind.

How did Huangfu's son pass the test?

——————

I went back five times!

After dinner, Li Huai said goodbye to the enthusiastic scholars and couldn't help but sigh on the way back.

"These masters are really strict and difficult to serve. They often let one person feel comfortable while another person criticizes them. They are really difficult to deal with!"

He didn't know what kind of trouble this matter would cause today, so as soon as he got home, he thought of another thing.

"I don't know if my manuscript has been delivered to Qian Zhi. Don't let it be intercepted midway. But everything is calm. Everything should be going well. Then he will be surprised when he reads it. I am waiting to experience the shock and excitement of passers-by.

Use your own tricks! By then, my pen name will be able to shine in this world!"
