~《》~     Chapter 119: Start first and be strong

That's right, that person is Pan Zijun.

When Shi Wei followed the army to pacify the Southern Tang Dynasty, he went to Pan's hometown to meet Pan You. At that time, Pan You refused to come out of the mountain, but said that he would ask his son to participate in the scientific expedition this fall and serve in the new dynasty.

Pan You did not break his promise. His son arrived in Bianjing on time a month before the scientific examination.

The Pan family has not seen each other for many years, and now they meet again. The brother and sister are so happy that they cry. The scene moved Fan Peilan and others to see it.

Shi Wei did not disturb them, but just stepped aside and let the brother and sister talk.

After a while, the Pan brothers and sisters were excited and calmed down.

At this time, Pan Zijun bowed and said gratefully: "Brother Shi, I have been taking care of my sister in the past two years. Thank you for your thanks here."

Shi Wei hurriedly said, "Brother Pan's words are a pity. You and I are friends of life and death. It is my unshirkable responsibility to take care of Zi Su, so why do you need to thank me?"

Pan Zijun smiled happily, and the friendship between them was the same as before.

After chatting for a few family matters, Shi Wei asked, "Brother Pan, you should be in Bianjing this time and you should take the scientific examination this fall."

Pan Zijun sighed: "It's natural now. My father has his own fate, so I have to follow. However, the Song Dynasty is full of talents, so it's one thing to refer to, and whether you can pass the exam is another thing."

"Brother Pan, don't worry, I will turn around and say to the second prince. The results will be released this fall. I guarantee you will be on the list." Shi Wei patted his chest and started to guarantee the vote.

Shi Wei is a meritorious minister, and Zhao Dezhao happens to be one of the supervisors of the imperial examination this autumn. And according to convention, it is not against the rules for ministers to recommend candidates in advance. If Zhao Dezhao spoke, Pan Zijun would be on the list.

"This... relying on Brother Shi's relationship on the list, I'm afraid this is a bit unlucky." Pan Zijun hesitated.

Shi Wei comforted and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a matter. That's what stupid people do. I know Brother Pan's talent best. I will eat the king's fortune and recommend talents to the court."

Shi Wei first said a high-sounding word, and then said with a smile: "Besides, I am in the court now, and I also need some trusted people to help me. If you can be ranked, it will be beneficial for me."

Shi Wei did not shy away and expressed his selfishness bluntly.

Pan Zijun immediately understood Shi Wei's intention.

Now her sister is Shi Wei's person, and he and Shi Wei are both old friends and are from Jiangnan. It can be said that the fate and interests of the Pan family are closely linked to Shi Wei.

I heard that Shi Wei wanted him to become an official in the court and be his right-hand man. How could Pan Zijun refuse?

After thinking for a while, Pan Zijun said happily: "Since Brother Shi has such a good intention, I can only be respectful but obey my orders."

Shi Wei laughed and patted Pan Zijun on his shoulder and said, "That's right, Dingxiang, go and prepare some wine and food. I will drink with Brother Pan tonight and stop drunk."

Xu Mansion.

Xu Xian, with a bruised nose and swollen face, was lying on the bed and humming and howling endlessly.

Xiong Qingdai seemed reckless, but she was still smart. The previous random attacks seemed scary, but it was extremely pleasing to take action. It only hurt Xu Xian's flesh and blood, but it did not cause him fatal internal injuries.

Even so, for Xu Xian's age, a trauma of flesh is enough for him to bear.

When he was suffering from the pain when he applied medicine, his servant came to report that it was His Highness King of Jin who arrived.

Xu Xian was about to get up to greet him. While he was still struggling, Zhao Guangyi had already stepped into the house.

"Your Highness, the emperor has seen you--" Xu Xian supported his bruised body and wanted to get up to pay homage.

Zhao Guangyi quickly stepped forward a few steps, pressed Xu Xian, and said warmly: "Xu Qing is injured, so there is no need to be polite. You can lie down."

Xu Xian lay down in emotion and hurriedly asked the servant to take the tea and sit down.

Zhao Guangyi sat next to the couch and said, "Your mansion just sent someone to come and said that you were seriously injured by Shi Wei. What's going on?"

When Xu Xian mentioned this, he became extremely angry and kept talking about the incident.

After saying that, Xu Xian said angrily: "Your Highness, Shi Wei killed my beloved son and humiliated him with fists and feet. It's so vicious. Please ask Your Highness to uphold justice for me."

When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Xu Xian is his Zhao Guangyi's man. Shi Wei dares to beat Xu Xian, but it is obvious that he does not give Zhao Guangyi face.

A look of angriness filled Zhao Guangyi's face.

But he did not have an attack, but asked, "Xu Qing, please honestly answer, have you deliberately hit Shi Wei's woman?"

"This..." After seeing through Zhao Guangyi's thoughts, Xu Xian became swallowing and spitting out for a moment.

His swaying and spitting situation obviously admitted that Xu Xian had provoked first.

Zhao Guangyi then asked again: "Then I'll ask you again, do you have any real evidence when Shi Wei killed your son?"

Xu Xian was stunned and hurriedly said, "Go back to Your Highness, this was admitted by the boy Shi Wei in person."

After hearing this, Zhao Guangyi suddenly burst into laughter, with a little more ironic laughter.

Xu Xian's expression became awkward, and he was puzzled for a moment why the King of Jin laughed at him.

Zhao Guangyi laughed and snorted coldly: "Shi Wei said those words to you are obviously trying to inspire you to fight back, so as to give him an excuse to fight back. Xu Qing, you are also an old man in the officialdom, and you can't even be so angry. No wonder you fell into someone's plan."

Xu Xian looked ashamed, but gritted her teeth and said, "That's the hatred of killing her son, so the lower officials can't bear it."

Zhao Guangyi's face darkened and he said coldly: "If you accomplish great things, what is the sacrifice of a mere son? Even if he insults your wife and daughter in front of you, you must bear it if necessary."

Xu Xian didn't expect Zhao Guangyi to say this, and he was shocked.

Xu Xian felt a hint of yin and coldness. The bone-wrenching chill came from the King of Jin in front of him.

The atmosphere in the house immediately became cold.

Xu Xian lowered his head and said silently. He seemed to think that Zhao Guangyi was not going to stand up for him.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Guangyi said with his expression: "Although you fell into someone's plan, you are my king's person at least, and this mute person cannot be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian turned his worries and said excitedly: "So, is Your Highness planning to preside over the justice of the officials?"

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly and said proudly: "It depends on the owner to beat a dog. How can I swallow my anger if I despise me like this?"

Xu Xian was overjoyed to see Zhao Guangyi willing to stand up for him, but when he heard the words "I have to look at the owner when I beat a dog", he felt a little embarrassed.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After the morning court the next day, Zhao Guangyi entered the harem to seek the emperor.

Zhao Guangyi planned to study Shi Wei's book.

Even if the fight between Xu Xian and Shi Wei was the first move by Xu Xian, Shi Wei beat Xu Xian like that and was too defensive.

Moreover, Xu Xian had previously acted to impeach Shi Wei, and Zhao Guangyi believed that from this point of view, he could participate in Shi Wei's crime of revenge.

When the emperor announced his entry, Zhao Guangyi had already calculated the words to be mentioned and happily entered the imperial study room.

When he walked in, his expression suddenly changed.

In the imperial study, Shi Wei had already met the emperor first before him.

"Your Highness has seen Your Highness." Seeing Zhao Guangyi coming in, Shi Wei hurriedly stood up and greeted him respectfully.

Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly, and a look of suspicion flashed in his expression, and he felt a vague premonition in his heart.

When Zhao Guangyi saluted the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Third brother, you are here just in time. I have something to tell you."

"Your Majesty, please speak, I will listen carefully." Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to put aside the impeachment that had been spoken of.

Zhao Kuangyin said, "When you were not here just now, Shi Aiqing had already apologized to me, saying that it was during the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival last night, he had a misunderstanding with Xu Xian, and they were a little moved. You must have heard of this."

Zhao Guangyi frowned secretly, thinking to himself what idea Shi Wei had to do. Before he could participate in the report, he came to plead guilty.

Suspiciously, Zhao Guangyi hurriedly said, "I have heard of this matter, and I actually came for this matter."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and smiled, "Shi Aiqing has explained the story to me. He felt deeply guilty about hurting Xu Xuan, so he asked to deduct his three-month salary as a medicine for Xu Xuan to heal. I think this matter is a misunderstanding, and Shi Aiqing took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility, so let's deal with this matter as he asks. I don't know what you think of third brother."

After hearing what the emperor said, Zhao Guangyi suddenly realized.

It turned out that Shi Wei had long guessed that Zhao Guangyi would stand up for Xu Xian, so he took the lead in the palace and faced the saint, described the whole thing as a misunderstanding, and "pretend" to take responsibility generously and willing to compensate.

In this way, the emperor took preconceptions, not only deemed that this matter was a misunderstanding, but also rewarded Shi Wei for his courage and responsibility.

As a conclusion has been made today, what else can Zhao Guangyi do? Will he openly overturn the emperor's ruling?

Zhao Guangyi is not that stupid.

At this time, Shi Wei also bowed and said, "After the misunderstanding happened last night, the official wanted to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to meet His Highness and ask His Highness to make a decision. But the official remembered that Mr. Xu was recommended by His Highness. If the official asked His Highness to decide whether it was, it would inevitably make people mistakenly think that His Highness was suspected of protecting his shortcomings, so the official had to come to see His Highness and ask His Highness to forgive him."

Shi Wei's words were even more clever. In this way, Zhao Guangyi could no longer stand out for Xu Xian, otherwise he would have really responded to the words "protecting his shortcomings" in Shi Wei's words.

A hint of coldness flashed through Zhao Guangyi's eyebrows, and the annoyance flashed in his heart.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Guangyi had a smile on his face and said lightly: "Actually, I am meeting the emperor's brother this time, just because I want the emperor to make the decision, so as not to others say that I am disgusted. Since the emperor has a certainty, I will naturally agree with it."

"Thank you for your generous pride." Shi Wei smiled slightly, with gratitude in his expression.

Zhao Guangyi was stunned and felt angry, so he didn't want to stay for a long time, so he said that he would say goodbye to the emperor if he had something to do.

When Shi Wei wanted to wait and take his leave, Zhao Kuangyin said, "Shi Aiqing, please stay. Recently, Hua Rui has been saying that she is feeling unwell. Since you have entered the palace today, go to Ruixian Palace to treat her."
