Volume Two, Chapter Eleven, Why Not Eat Minced Meat
Yang Cong’s worries were not redundant, because He Qianzhen had asked Yan Song for his son’s sake, and Yan Song was also preparing to raise his hand to defeat Yang Cong and win over He Qian!
Yan Song also felt that it might be a bit difficult to lift a candidate up, and it was really easy to get rid of the person, because the examiner had to review the test papers to avoid cheating with the examiner who was marking the papers. He could just find some excuses to cook Yang Cong.
About ten days after the provincial examination, the examiner who had finished the examination papers had already been roughly determined, so Yan Song brought the deputy chief examiners Zou Shouyi and Zhan Ruoshui to review the test papers.
At this time, the rankings were roughly scheduled, and the layer of paper pasted on the candidate's name had naturally been unveiled. Yan Song flipped it casually and found Yang Cong's test paper.
He wanted to find an excuse to brush Yang Cong down, but Yang Cong's surface was very neat and had no sweat stains, let alone ink. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the surface of the surface. He deliberately tried to sip a saliva and confused a certain word, but he was disdainful to do such things, so he could only pick on the article.
As a result, he looked at Yang Cong's test paper for a long time, but he didn't find any problems. Yang Cong is really a bit literary and his article is really good. It seems difficult to find faults from the article itself. What should I do?
As he thought about it, he was suddenly stunned, Yang Cong?
The current emperor is called Zhu Hougui. In order to avoid the word "王", Zhang Cong changed his name to Zhang Fujing. How dare you call him Yang Cong!
OK, this is a very good reason and powerful.
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his face and pretended to be angry and said, "This candidate is too unreasonable."
Zou Shouyi and Zhan Ruoshui naturally knew that Yan Song wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Yang Cong, because Yang Cong had already written a letter to ask them for help.
It’s one thing they don’t see Yang Cong, and it’s another thing they don’t see Yang Cong. It’s because Yang Cong’s seniority is too low and he’s just a scholar, so he’s not qualified to let them meet in person.
However, others want to bully Yang Cong, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Yang Cong is Xu Jie's best friend, which is equivalent to being a junior of the Yangming lineage. How can you do if you dare to deal with our juniors in front of us like us?
The two looked at each other, and the more mature and persistent Zhan Ruoshui immediately asked, "What's wrong, Lord Yan?"
Yan Song groaned: "This candidate is too unreasonable. He dares to call him Yang Cong. Isn't this clearly a deception? The chief minister knows how to avoid taboos, but doesn't he know how to avoid taboos?"
Damn, the Yangming lineage hates the most is Zhang Cong, a flatterer. In order to flatter the emperor, this guy changed his name. It was so shameless.
Of course, you must pay attention to taboos these days, but taboos are not so taboos.
Zou Shouyi was in his prime and had a very tough temper. When he saw Yan Song's appearance, he became angry after a moment of pain.
However, he did not catch Yan Song and scold him. That was the one who did it, and he was not that bad.
He thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Mr. Zhan, do you eat meat?"
When Zhan Ruoshui heard this, his eyes turned and then joked: "Why not eat meat? I will lose all over if I don't eat meat this day."
This "why not eat meat minced" is not appropriate here. His meaning is to secretly point out that Yan Song was the head of the Ministry of Rites and why did he move forward?
Yan Song looked at these two guys with a confused face, not knowing where they were singing.
This is not because he is not flexible enough. The main reason why these two guys are talking too inexplicably. He was talking about Yang Cong, and Zou Shouyi suddenly asked Zhan Ruoshui if he ate meat. He was too far away from it, and he would really not be able to react for a while.
Seeing this, Zou Shouyi asked him again: "Mr. Yan, do you eat meat?"
Of course he eats meat, and he is famous for his love of fat meat. Didn’t this guy ask him knowingly?
What the hell is this guy doing?
Yangming's lineage doesn't deal with their imperial party much, and it's very likely that someone will dig a hole and let him jump. Yan Song replied carefully: "I am the same as Lord Zhan, and I can't have any flesh."
He means, do you want to bite me?
I have the same hobby as Lord Zhan. If you bite me, it is equivalent to biting Lord Zhan. You bite me.
Of course, Zou Shouyi would not bite Yan Song. He seemed to think for a while, and then asked inexplicably: "Mr. Zhan, what kind of meat are you eating?"
Zhan Ruoshui said in a very cooperative manner: "Pork, the chicken is too greasy, the mutton is too scented, and the beef cannot be bitten. Only this pork is the most suitable for my husband's appetite."
Damn, this is the review of the test paper. What's wrong with your mind? You are discussing eating meat here!
Yan Song was about to stop them and put the topic back on Yang Cong, but Zou Shouyi suddenly said to him: "Mr. Yan, you are eating pork, right?"
Damn, it’s not over, right? Yan Song simply interrupted: “Yes, let’s talk about pork issues in the future. Now we are reviewing the test papers. You guys say, is Yang Cong too arrogant? How can such a candidate get him to pass the exam?”
Yang Cong is arrogant?
Are you arrogant?
Zou Shouyi shook his head and said, "The name Yang Cong is a trivial matter. Lord Yan, you are eating pork!"
He deliberately flipped the pork "pig" long, obviously to let Yan Song understand what the word "pig" means.
Yan Song naturally understood as soon as he heard it, "pig" and "zhu" are homophones!
Yang Cong's name just happened to have a homophone with the name of the current emperor. He ate "pig" meat. If you count it like this, I don't know how many times more serious his crime of deceiving the emperor than Yang Cong.
Damn, it is not so to avoid taboos. Only the same character needs to be avoided. If you have homophones, you must avoid taboos. Then no one in the world has deceived the emperor. Even if the people have never eaten pork, they still want to eat pork.
Yan Song was about to refute, but suddenly realized that he wouldn't slap himself in the face? Yang Cong's "cong" is not the "cong" of the emperor.
He was at a loss, and Zou Shouyi suddenly said seriously: "If you want to talk about this Master Supplement, you are quite arrogant. He dares to have a surname Zhang, and his surname is Zhang. It's so arrogant!"
Damn, what's wrong with the surname Zhang? There are many people in the world with the surname Zhang.
Yan Song was about to refute, but suddenly realized something was wrong again.
Damn, the emperor’s ancestor is Zhu Yuanzhang, and these “Zhang” and “Zhang” are also homophones!
This guy Zou Shouyi dug a big hole and asked him to jump down. This kind of trick can't be done.
He thought about it carefully, suddenly yelled, shook his head and smiled, "Just, kidding, I'm just kidding you, why do you have to be so serious?"
After saying that, he stuffed Yang Cong's test paper back to its original place, saying that he had admitted his defeat and stopped playing.
"Hehe, old guy, you're still far from playing with us." Zou Shouyi felt secretly proud, but on the surface he followed and said, "Mr. Yan, we are also joking, don't take it seriously."
Sometimes everyone can just tell the truth. If they really want to turn against each other for such a trivial matter, they will have already fought to the death.
Yan Song also knew that if he was more shameless, these two guys would definitely not be able to compare with him, but if he played this kind of word game, he really couldn't play these two guys.
In fact, he just saw that He Qian was so stupid that he was a fellow villager and wanted to win over and expand his camp, so he agreed to He Qian to defeat Yang Cong.
However, he already knew that Yang Cong was from the Yangming lineage, and he naturally could not do such stupid things for the sake of a small head of the Ministry of Rites.
