Dao fruit.

"That's right, this Qiu Yan is Jiannan Dao Jieyuan this time, but his original identity is actually a scholar who failed to pass the exam and even failed to be a scholar. He has no background, let alone a family background."

Opposite Wang Fu, a young man talked eloquently. When he spoke, his eyes were bright, and he had a radiant look, and his gestures showed a sense of high spirits.

Although all the people here are dressed in different ways, if you look closely at the clothes, you can see that they are not ordinary materials. With the expression and temperament, they give people a feeling of wealth and power. When the young people speak, they are all With a smile on his face, he acted like he was listening, which brought out the extraordinary status of the young man.

This person can speak without any scruples in front of the black-faced gentleman, which shows that his relationship with Wang Fu is not ordinary.

The combination of various factors has vaguely pointed out his identity.

As soon as the young man's words fell, a middle-aged man picked up: "I have failed in many trials and have no background in my family. Generally speaking, this person has a very small chance of being admitted, but since Xiangguo mentioned this person, we Then I looked through the files, and found that he was smooth sailing in this imperial examination, he won the first place everywhere, and defeated many talented scholars in Jiannan. Many people praised it."

The person who answered the conversation had a face with Chinese characters, and his eyes were thin and long, giving people a majestic yet shrewd feeling.

"Cen Bo, you're right." The young man glanced at the middle-aged man's face and said with a smile, "But if you lived in Jiannan Road and knew a little bit about it, you wouldn't have such doubts."

"Oh? Pan Xiang, you might as well explain it in detail." Before the Chinese-character face called Cen Bo could answer, another young man, about 30 years old, asked back.

His words have already revealed the identity of the young man, he is Pan Xiang, the second son of the Pan family in Yuanning Prefecture, Jiannan Road!

Today's new law titans.In recent years, it can be called a steady rise.

"Zhang Hou, since I raised this matter in front of Xiangguo, I definitely want to make it clear. You don't need to rush." ​​Pan Xiang glanced at the man, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but then disappeared without a trace of expression. talking.

At this time, Wang Fu, who was sitting at the head, suddenly said: "It's according to your opinion. The reason why Qiu Yan was able to pass the imperial examination smoothly, and now his reputation is getting better, is actually related to Ma Yang?"

"Xiangguo is wise, that's right." Pan Xiang nodded quickly. Since the black-faced Xiangguo asked the question himself, he would not continue to circle around and said directly, "When Ma Laoxiangguo was in Jiannan Road, he happened to live in Qingchang County. In the same place as Qiu Yan, in the two years, he taught him carefully and passed it on from generation to generation."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Another man spoke up. This man had a fair complexion and was about forty years old, but his eyes were like bright stars.Handsome and unrestrained, "So Qiu Yan is Ma Yang's disciple?"

"That's right." Pan Xiang glanced at the man, "If it wasn't for Ma Laoxiangguo's guidance, this man is still wasting his time, how could he have achieved such achievements, even the Holy Majesty has traces in his heart."

"En. Speaking of which, it is indeed a threat," the handsome man in his forties nodded and said, "The Holy Majesty has occasionally mentioned this person recently, and he obviously remembers it deeply."

"Oh?"

When he said this, the others all showed surprise, obviously it was the first time they had heard of it.

It is not a trivial matter to be mentioned occasionally by the emperor.

The man who spoke, named Tian Youqing, was responsible for recording the emperor's daily life notes, which was equivalent to the emperor's personal official, who knew the emperor's behavior.

In a centralized society, the emperor's every move, every word and deed has an unimaginable impact on others. Even if one or two words are unintentional, someone will analyze them carefully, find out the emperor's intentions, and then arrange Countermeasures.

A big reason why the new party led by Wang Fu was supported by the emperor was that it grasped the emperor's mind and fulfilled his political ambitions while doing what he liked.

Therefore, Tian Youqing's status is very important, and his position in the new party is also very stable.

After Tian Youqing made his voice, he didn't stop, and said: "As a disciple of Ma Yang, he has talent, learning, strategies, and fame, so he can't let it go. If you let him see the holy face, what will happen to him?" Talents are dangerous, and with the emperor's mind, they are likely to be especially favored and reused."

He narrowed his eyes and showed a sneer: "The old party is corrupt and hinders the progress of the country. Once Qiu Yan has a family background, he will be a general of the old party. It is very unfavorable to us. Such a person cannot give He has a slight chance to succeed!"

The words are full of austere meaning.

The others listened and looked at each other, knowing that Tian Youqing was not targeting Qiu Yan. No matter how successful Qiu Yan was in the imperial examination, he was only a candidate now, and he didn't even have an official position. Tian Youqing took it to heart, the reason why he said such words was actually aimed at Ma Yang behind Qiu Yan.

Ma Yangma, the old prime minister, has a lot of prestige. After returning to the court, he presided over the affairs and quelled the turmoil in the court caused by the reform. Even the emperor who had a prejudice against him had to rely more on him.

However, after Ma Yang stabilized the government, he began to struggle with the New Party, and he had enmity with the New Party, but in it, Tian Youqing is undoubtedly the person who hates Ma Yang the most, because Ma Yang once named Said that his intentions were not right, confusing Wang Fu's heart, and gave him a "treacherous" evaluation!

For a ruling official, what could be worse than being scolded as treacherous in front of the emperor?

From that day on, Tian Youqing regarded Ma Yang as an enemy, but if there was an opportunity to attack, he would not let it go. It's just that although Ma Yang is conservative in politics, he is self-disciplined and has a high prestige. How can he be like Tian Youqing? Can the younger generation shake it?Ten targets, nine defeats, and the remaining one is often not satisfactory.

Now, knowing the relationship between Qiu Yan and Ma Yang, how could Tian Youqing let him go?While speaking, he was already thinking about how to use Qiu Yan's breakthrough to criticize Ma Yang.

All the people present are members of the New Party, they can be said to be the core of the new law, and they are in charge of Darui's policy direction. The reason why they gathered here is to take advantage of the juncture of the Lantern Festival to clean up Pan Xiang's dust.

Pan Xiang supervised the battle in northern Xinjiang this time, and won military exploits, which enabled the new party to expand its power in the military. Fang did not have a suitable spokesperson and supporter, and Pan Xiang's military exploits undoubtedly opened up a breakthrough.

After all the people gathered, they were all discussing military and state affairs, but after drinking for three rounds, Wang Xiangguo recalled a name he heard in the palace, and asked aloud, which surprised Pan Xiang, which led to the scene in front of him .

Seeing that the conversation among the people was getting more and more in-depth, Wang Fu patted the table, and everyone stopped talking when they asked Xian to know what they meant.

Wang Fu looked at Pan Xiang, and asked: "Ma Yang is not an ordinary person. It is difficult for ordinary people to catch him. He will not favor someone for no reason. Although Qiu Yan has tried and failed, he must have something. Otherwise, there are tens of thousands of scholars in Jiannan Dao, why does Ma Yang favor this person alone?"

As he was talking, he remembered something again: "Speaking of which, the reason why Qiu Yan was able to attract the attention of the Holy One was not because of Ma Yang's help, but because of a military strategy, which was written in the examination room. I also read the transcripts, it can be said that the enemy can be predicted first, it is definitely not something that ordinary scholars can write, not to mention that he failed repeatedly, even if he really has no fame, with this ability, he will not worry about his way out."

As soon as he said this, the other people's voices stopped, and then Wang Fu glanced around and brought the topic to the past.

Pan Xiang was worried. He noticed that Wang Fu looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Has Xiangguo seen my selfishness?" Cold sweat rolled down his head, "It seems that it is not so easy to use Xiangguo."

At the end of the banquet, everyone said something, but Pan Xiang kept a low profile.

However, he didn't realize that on the opposite side of the wine table, a man paid attention to his expression from time to time. This man was thin and didn't have the noble aura exuded by other people, but there was a cold look in his eyes. He remained calm until the end.

He was very close to Wang Fu, and would whisper to each other from time to time.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed, but Tian Youqing asked Pan Xiang to talk again the next day, which made the latter happy.

………………

Meanwhile, in another part of the city.

"Missing Qiu Yan is indeed a loss. This talent has good learning and background. He is valued by Ma Yang and praised by many scholars. Now there are rumors in the government and the public that the purpose of this test will change. At that time, Wang Fu will calm down the old Party grievances must be compromised, and one of the methods is to let the old party's students go to high school, this Qiu Yan has a great chance!"

There was a person standing vaguely in the darkness, and a clear voice came out, and every word had a thought-provoking feeling.

Opposite this person, the shopkeeper of the book collection inn knelt on the ground, nodded repeatedly, then raised his head and tried to ask: "You mean, do it as soon as possible? Through Qiu Yan's friends, get his Wen Qi is also collected and made into bookmarks?"

"This matter..." The person in the shadow was speaking, but his voice stopped abruptly, his whole body was shaken, and his voice suddenly increased, "How dare you! How dare you steal in the Imperial Academy!"

When the words fell, the flat bottom picked up the wind. Wait for the book collector to see if there are any figures in the shadows.

"Huh? The Hanlin Academy has been burglarized?" The shopkeeper could hear the clue from what he said just now, and felt a little inconceivable.

………………

In the inn, Qiu Yan was sitting at the table with a pen in his hand and paper on the table, concentrating on it, frowning.

Finally, he shook his head and sighed.

"No, it's not ready yet, so I can't write."

With a sigh, he put his pen aside and was about to get up when there was a sudden "crash" from behind him. When he turned his head to look, what he saw were the baby ginseng, the ancient seal character of eight characters, the incense burner, and the beast. The window fell down with a whoosh.

Snapped!

Two books fell to the ground. (To be continued..)
