Dao fruit.

"Sacred edict?"

As soon as these two words were passed on, the slightly out-of-control situation suddenly changed.

The menacing Confucian scholars were shaken, their minds became much clearer, and they all followed the sound to watch.

The target is a fast horse galloping over, and the person on the horse is the censor of Jiannan Road, Li Qi!

Seeing that the crowd was calm, Li Qi pulled the reins, the horse under him slowed down, and came tick-tocking. When he was between the crowd and Qiu Yan, he turned over and looked left and right.

Then, Li Qi flicked his shirt, turned to look at Qiu Yan, and said in his mouth: "The emperor has an order, to speak to Qiu Yan."

When Qiu Yan heard the words, he didn't see anything strange. He took a step forward, crossed his arms, and bowed: "The student is Qiu Yan."

Sacred edicts are the words spoken by the emperor regarding a certain matter or a certain person. They are generally of a judgmental nature.

Seeing the imperial edict is equivalent to seeing the emperor, and you have to pay a big ceremony. However, Qiu Yan was originally a scholar, but now he has to understand the Yuan Dynasty. There is no difference between superior and inferior, but there is no distinction between master and servant, so naturally there is no need to kneel down.

Li Qi nodded, walked up to Qiu Yan, and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty has a saying, 'I heard that there are scholars in Shu, who can decide the southwest with one strategy, and they are the talents of the country'."

Qiu Yan respectfully thanked him, and acted calmly and calmly. The expression on his face fell into the eyes of Zhang Zhen and others, which immediately aroused the amazement of several people.

Thinking of Qiu Yan's words just now, they immediately felt that Qiu Yan was shrouded in a mysterious halo, as if they had expected this for a long time.

Of course Qiu Yan was aware of the effect of his military strategy. Now that the Southwest was pacified, the credit for pacifying the Southwest fell to the Observation Envoy and Yu Shi. As those with vested interests, they naturally wanted to maintain the military strategy.Then to defend Qiu Yan, they will not allow others to criticize them. To defend Qiu Yan is to defend their own achievements.

What's more, the first place in the provincial examination was definitely not obtained by cheating, but by relying on real credit.

A roll of military strategy, quelled the military disaster, saved several counties, severely injured the marsh people, and laid the foundation for the complete subjugation in the future, and it is more likely that the fan people will suffer a big loss.In the end, the interests of several officials were evenly shared, and they gained military exploits.

Compared with such a "examination paper", how can other articles with beautiful flowers, even if they are full of flowers, surpass it?

Even the emperor knew about this strategy and gave a comment. If this article is not named as the first name, how can other articles be qualified to be on top of it?

Such a result.It is definitely not something that can be changed by gathering a crowd of failed candidates to make trouble.

Therefore, facing the boiling crowd, Qiu Yan was so calm, not because of his self-cultivation.It was because he expected that someone could bear this more than him. The arrival of the oracle was not because of Qiu Yan's good luck, but because of the general situation.What is bound to happen, even if there were no oracles, would have taken other forms.Even if it is not the censor, other officials will come forward to stop it.

As soon as Li Qi said these words, many failed candidates froze in place.

"The Holy Majesty's oral instructions are praising Qiu Yan?"

"What's going on? How did the officials know Qiu Yan's name?"

"Didn't it mean that Qiu Yan was able to get Jie Yuan because of his observation? Why did the Holy One get involved?"

They talked in low voices, but no one dared to speak up.

On the opposite side, after Qiu Yan thanked you, Li Qi turned around and shouted at the crowd: "You guys are making noise in front of the Gong Yuan, not to mention insulting the gentlemen, not to mention the teachings of the sages, but to disrupt the law and order, don't you know The law of the country?"

These words came from the mouth of a censor, and the power was extraordinary. The censor had the outline constitution in his hand, and even the observers could participate, let alone these scholars?

Just like that, the mood and aura of the whole crowd decreased, while Li Qi's figure seemed to be much taller, with a faint power surging from his body, which made people dare not look directly at him.

This scene fell in Qiu Yan's eyes, but he had another feeling.

"The people's thoughts gathered by all the scholars are extremely turbulent, but they are not as powerful as Yushi Li Qi alone. This person's momentum not only has an official spirit, but is also protected by dragon energy, and also blessed by several other types of luck, twisted into one strand, In terms of purity and cohesion, it far surpasses the human reads of all the examinees. As soon as you stand there, the aura will occupy one side, and when you speak, you will immediately have the ups and downs of luck, suppressing the people on the other side! This is humane again. A great feature!"

Just when Qiu Yan changed his mind, Li Qi said again: "Still leaving? Is it still a fluke?"

He didn't explain much, just reprimanded, facing hundreds of people by himself, but he didn't see the slightest bit of fear, calm and calm, but many candidates who failed the exam were terrified.

"Even the emperor praised Qiu Yan, saying that he is a talented person in the country, how can we question him? What's the use of questioning him?"

Thinking about it this way, I lost my courage and lost my previous courage. The crowd began to disperse, and the surrounding soldiers wanted to go and catch the leader, but Li Qi stopped him: "If you fail in the imperial examination, it is inevitable that you will have ups and downs. Fortunately, there was no trouble. It’s an accident, but it’s not an example.”

After hearing this, the examinees' moods changed immediately, and they thanked Li Qi one after another. The people who gathered there also changed their minds, and some of them gathered towards Li Qi, which made Qiu Yan amazed, and a word emerged in his heart——

Turning hands is a cloud, covering hands is rain.

So, before a turmoil even started, it was calmed down by just one person and a few words.

Qiu Yan stepped forward to thank him.

Li Qi turned around and said with a smile: "You don't need to thank me, I've read your military strategy as well, it's indeed a rare and good strategy, even without this Southwest military disaster, it would be easy to take down Jieyuan."

His words were full of kindness, although he didn't appear to be too close, but Qiu Yan could see the intention of wooing from the other party's tone and expression.

Qiu Yan talked to him, and suddenly said: "This incident is not an accident. There were signs before, and it was deliberately arranged by someone. The censor is in charge of the performance appraisal of officials, candidates and students. He has explored the changes in Shilin. Do you know the mystery behind this?"

"Oh?" Li Qi's complexion changed slightly, and he glanced at Qiu Yan in surprise, "What else is there? I need to check it when I go back." After saying this, he skipped the topic, and encouraged Qiu Yan a few more words, Then he said goodbye and left.

Looking at Li Qi's back, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and thought about it.

He naturally knew the reason for this turmoil.Although the situation is always under control, revenge must be given to the person behind the scenes who had evil thoughts.

Revenge is not narrow-mindedness, but to serve as an example to others, otherwise, if you blindly give in, you can only tolerate and support traitors.This is the same as dealing with people and leading an army. Only when there is a clear distinction between grievances and grievances can one have a healthy personality.

After Li Qi left, Zhang Zhen and other talents surrounded him, and only the censor was by his side.A few of them evaded. The censor was different from other officials. He had the power and responsibility to supervise and report. He was the most feared. It is necessary to lose fame and fame.

After a few people came over.Not far away came a few more people.

"Gao Jing, congratulations to Qiu Jieyuan." The leader was plainly dressed and ordinary-looking.There is a natural taste between words and deeds. It is the No.2 in this rural examination, Gao Jing from Xingyuan Mansion.

"Brother Qiu, congratulations." Gao Jing followed behind.It was Gu Yanzhi and the others, all with happy faces and ruddy eyebrows.He looked like a red star shining brightly.

These people are all the candidates of this high school.

Winning Juren is equivalent to having an official status. It is regarded as a reserve official and can be awarded an official position. Ordinary people call Juren, and the word "Master" is often added after it.

People in flower sedan chairs carry people, and candidates who are selected in the same list are considered to be in the same year, so they will inevitably form cliques, so that they can take care of each other in the officialdom in the future.Qiu Yan, as Jie Yuan, is almost guaranteed to be a Jinshi, and has a bright future. Of course, other candidates must come to make friends.

However, just after winning the exam, everyone was immersed in joy and hurried back, so they chatted a few words, they became acquainted, agreed to visit the teacher together in two days, and left separately.

"Let's go back to the inn first."

Zhou Yi dispersed, Guan and Luo Jiayun restrained their joy, glanced at the silent Zhang Zhen, and made a proposal.

Qiu Yan nodded, and then said: "Go back first, I still have things to do."

Several other people agreed without asking any more questions.

After a few people had left, Qiu Yan suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he activated the Lingmu Art.

The next moment, the scene in the field of vision changed drastically, and the surroundings and the sky were full of dense phantoms, like spider webs, spreading around the Gongyuan, connecting everywhere, and collecting surrounding information.

These phantoms are as slender as silk, with faint fluctuations of divine power.

Qiu Yan stepped forward, passing through a silk thread calmly, feeling the change of divine power inside, and realized it in his heart.

"Niyoushen? That's right, it's impossible for the Yin Division not to pay attention to such a big matter as the release of the rankings in the township examination."

Walking on the street, Qiu Yan could clearly feel that with the end of the imperial examination, the divine power in the city, which had been suppressed by the literary spirit, was rapidly recovering.

"This Jiannan Dao priest has a lot of power, and if he wants to fight against it, it will not happen overnight, but I have won the election, and I will be relieved of many worries from now on. I can take out many things to expand my influence, and when I am famous in the world, Just like Ma Yang and Li Qi, if you gather people's wishes with one word, you don't need to worry about Lu Liang recovering the third rank!"

Thinking about it, he took a step and blended into the street crowd.

………………

The Yuexia Restaurant is a single room in the inn.

Fang Ziyan drank alone. The book boy had already informed him of the rankings.

"No. 14..."

Chewing on this ranking, Fang Ziyan's complexion gradually became gloomy, and his mood fluctuated, as if he was brewing something.

Sudden!He stood up abruptly and smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

Clap!

Debris splatters.

"If it hadn't been for Qiu Yan's influence, and the smudges on the scroll, how could I be downgraded with my talent and learning!"

Others are satisfied as long as they win the exam, but for Fang Ziyan, ranking is the key.

"Gu Yanzhi, Gao Jing...are above me, and Qiu Yan is actually Xie Yuan! Xie Yuan! Qi Zhengyuan really dares to give it! Do you think the old party can cover the sky with one hand? I don't need to take the lead in this matter. Can mobilize the unwillingness of those who rise and fall, and then..."

Just as Fang Ziyan was thinking, there was a knock on the door in the room, and the voice of Mr. Li, a diner in Yushi's mansion, came in through the door——

"Mr. Fang, come here to pass on a message..." (to be continued)
