Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

Chang'an.

Outside the east gate, next to Ba Bridge.

In fact, it is most convenient to go directly from Lushan to the north.

But there is a very peculiar custom in Dayin Chang'an, that is, no matter who is going to travel far, they will choose to say goodbye at Baqiao outside the east gate.

Unknowingly, Baqiao breaks willows has become synonymous with seeing off friends for a long journey.

Jian Yuyan wanted to start from Baqiao, the east gate, and take a detour to the north.

At this time, the autumn wind is rustling, everything is depressed, and the willows are all withered. It is impossible to break the willows, but it is a good choice to warm up with a cup of tea.

Moreover, the sky is covered with clouds, the sun is dim, and the water of the Bahe River is shining, matching the color of the sky. There are even wild geese escaping south, flying together with the clouds.

The autumn scenery in Chang'an is no less beautiful than the March green lake fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, there were not many people to see Jian Yuyan off today. To be precise, they should be very few. There were only two great scholars, Wang Yangming and Du Yan. As for the academy students who originally wanted to come to bid farewell, they were stopped by their respective teachers.

Autumn is approaching, and academic and scientific examinations trump everything else.

What's more, Jian Yuyan had to bargain with Emperor Jingtai for his official career, so he tried to keep a low profile. Otherwise, he will be unhappy with the new emperor. If he shakes his hand during the Enke Palace Examination next spring, he will have no chance of winning the No. 1 Scholarship in Lushan College.

Baqiao, inside the farewell pavilion.

The three great scholars talked happily over tea, enjoying the last touch of warmth.

Just when the excitement for tea was high, I saw a large group of scholars in Confucian shirts, like stars over the moon, arriving at the Ba Bridge with a purple-robed man in their honor.

Many scholars traveling together, like a group of men traveling together, were so loud that pedestrians on the road avoided them and looked at them sideways.

Wang Yangming looked up, with a strange look on his face.

The one who came is not good!

But, the fun is about to begin hehe.

Watch a play, watch a play...

The person who came was the Imperial Confucian Jijiu, who was both a [Fourth Grade True Artistic Confucian] scholar, but the reputation and status of this Jijiu Master were far beyond what Jian Yuyan and Wang Yangming could compare with before they became officials.

Even the dignified scholar Du Yan, the Minister of Rites, was slightly inferior.

The teaching philosophies of the Imperial College and Lushan College are completely different.

Lushan focuses on cultivating students’ character, stimulating their literary talent, and cultivating their knowledge. The Imperial College is similar to the examination-oriented education improvement class, and the political appeal is very clear. The purpose of studying is to become an official in the court.

Therefore, in the past ten years, the number of Jinshi students in the Imperial College has almost doubled compared to that of Lushan Academy.

Fortunately, Lushan College has a good foundation. In the past ten years, it has produced two top picks, Ren Tianxing and Li Zian, both of whom were students of Jian Yuyan.

However, who could have imagined that Ren Tianxing offended Prime Minister Cui and was directly sent to Lingnan to guard Meiguan. He did not return to Chang'an to report on his duties in ten years.

As for Li Nuo, at the Xinke Banquet last year, he had a great future.

This number one status was taken back by Emperor Jingshun, and then was given to Zhang Jianshen, who was second in the list.

For others, this is good luck coming from heaven. But for this dear friend, it was a bitter cry.

He was originally ranked second and was very good. It was not a shame to lose to the talented Li Zian.

But now...

This number one is not learned based on real talent, it is purely a mistake. He has an identity but no title because the temple does not recognize him.

And every time this matter is mentioned, someone will always ridicule him intentionally or unintentionally: Hey, look, that Zhang Jianshen is really lucky and got the No. 1 pick for nothing.

Then, the inexplicable nicknames replenishing the top pick and leaking the top pick were stuck on his head, and he couldn't even take them off.

Among all the students, who is not proud? However, the concept of the Imperial College of acquiring literary and military skills and bringing goods to the imperial family has long been deeply ingrained.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all for Your Majesty's favor. Do you dare to refuse the reward from Your Majesty?

I’ll give you a discount on my legs!

If you can't blame His Majesty, you can only vent your anger on Li Zian, the instigator.

He knew that Li Zian's mentor Jian Yuyan was going to become an official, and his family's Jijiu Master was also going to Jiangnan to serve as a pastor for the new emperor.

What are you waiting for!

Therefore, with the conscious or unconscious connivance of the teachers, the students also organized themselves to bid farewell to Master Jijiu, and then disgusted Jian Yuyan, who called him Li Zian's mentor!

Brother Du, Brother Wang, it turns out you two are here too. Brother Jian is so anxious, are you leaving for your post today?

Prince Yun, the prince of the Imperial College offering wine, had a false smile on his face.

Back then, he, Jian Yuyan and Du Yan were candidates in the same class, but their rankings were firmly dominated by these two. Even in the palace examination, he couldn't be happy after taking the top prize.

What Jian Yuyan couldn't stand the most was Wang Ziyun's pretentious and knowing way of asking questions. He didn't give Wang Ziyun any face, and said coldly: Wang Ziyun, what are you doing here? And you brought so many scholars here?

However, Wang Ziyun said with a smile: Yu Yan's temperament is still so direct, but you have to restrain yourself before going to Shangyang Pass, so as not to suffer a loss. There are all barbarians and monsters there, but they can't compare to Chang'an. As for me...it was originally I planned to go to Jiannan Road in the spring of next year to take charge of the political party, but later I thought about it and decided to go earlier so that I could benefit the people of Li earlier. This is the responsibility of scholars like us!

In order to secure the throne, Emperor Jingtai transferred many officials.

Wang Ziyun is one of them.

Governor Jiannan Dao, a proper official of the border area. Wang Ziyun also completed the triple jump.

Are you done talking? Just leave now. There is no place to entertain you here.

Jian Yuyan said expressionlessly.

This Wang Ziyun went to Bashu in advance and deliberately created such a big battle, obviously just to squeeze him.

Oh, it's been decades, but Brother Yuyan still refuses to forgive me? I was in the Imperial Academy at Lushan.

Wang Ziyun sighed deliberately.

In Confucianism and Taoism [Fifth Level of Bianyan Realm], if you say something that goes against your original intention, you can just say it with your mouth and it will have no impact on the literary mind.

When you reach [Fourth Level True Artistic Realm], you can really talk nonsense and let yourself go completely.

Not enough words to speculate.

Jian Yuyan didn't want to play any more tricks with this traitor.

Wang Ziyun was a Lushan student like Jian Yuyan. However, after the imperial examination, Wang Ziyun sought refuge in the Imperial College.

The current educational and literary style of the Imperial College was created after Wang Ziyun became a sacrificial wine. This really disgusted Jian Yuyan to death.

He ignored Wang Ziyun and continued chatting with his two friends over tea.

It was almost time for a cup of tea before he set off, and he didn't want to waste this precious time on Wang Ziyun.

Wang Ziyun sneered and walked back to Baqiao in a few steps.

Many literati paid their respects to him, and they talked loudly and lively. It was in sharp contrast to the deserted scene in the farewell pavilion.

When the interest was high, someone suggested that the students write farewell poems to Wang Daru, so as to complete a good parting story between teachers and students!

This also heightened the atmosphere on the court.

And this is a good time to become famous in one fell swoop. Once the poem is completed, it can really be remembered for generations and go down in history.

All the students looked excited and eager to try!

This Prince Yun, if he doesn't devote himself to his studies, he will figure out what he is doing. But the atmosphere is very exciting. It's a pity that Zian is not here, otherwise with Zian's talent, he will definitely crush the Imperial Academy students.

Inside the farewell pavilion.

Wang Yangming stroked his goatee happily.

Brother Wang, you don't want to open or pick up this pot.

Du Yan patted the stone table gently, then glanced at Jian Yuyan who was silent, and sighed softly, Is it worth it? Although Li Zian has a great talent, his temperament is too strong. You must know that hard work is easy to break, and now he has abandoned Confucianism. Foundation, the future of Confucianism and Taoism is dead. You can enter the Imperial Academy in the spring after this year, and then enter the four major palaces within three years, and be awarded the title of first-class bachelor, but you use your own bright future to save his life, is it worth it?

Maybe others will feel sorry for Jian Yuyan. But he is determined, and once he makes a decision, how can he regret it?

Moreover.

Who said that Li Zi'an's foundation of Confucianism and Taoism has been abolished?

His literary spirit is deep to the core, and he is a genius that is rare to see in thousands of years!

A few days ago, I went to the palace to meet the saint.

He took on the important task of heading north, but the premise was that the Shadow Guard Commander would not take action against Li Zian.

Finally, Emperor Jingtai agreed.

Of course, Jian Yuyan was not going to tell Li Nuo about this deal with Emperor Jingtai, otherwise Li Nuo would definitely reject it with his temperament and even cause greater trouble.

There was a hint of kindness in his eyes: I exchanged my former career for Zian's life. What's not worth it? Zian lost his father when he was young. If I, as a teacher, don't protect him, who else will protect him?

Hahaha, they all say that Jian Yuyan is half of Li Zian's father. This time I completely believe it! To him, you are both a teacher and a father!

Du Yan laughed.

In fact, he shouldn't have come to practice for Jian Yuyan today.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, he and Jian Yuyan were sworn enemies.

But my old friend went to Shaoyang Pass, and I'm afraid he won't have the chance to return to Chang'an in ten years. If he didn't say goodbye to his old friend, he would have trouble sleeping and eating in his life.

At this moment, exclamations from the other side echoed through Baqiao.

It turned out that it was Wang Ziyun's protégé Xu Yuncheng who composed a masterpiece that made the whole audience exclaim in admiration!

Literary talent surges and energy flows through the rainbow.

It seems that next year's number one pick is none other than Xu Yuncheng.

Students like Cui Liyan, Hua An, Lu Zhishan and others will probably be defeated!

Xu Yuncheng raised his chin slightly, looking slightly satisfied.

In fact, he had received a hint from his mentor a few days ago...

After thinking hard for several days, coupled with his inherent talent, he finally carved out a masterpiece.

It came in handy today, especially when I chanted it in front of many classmates and students. This feeling was even more satisfying than the big oiran sleeping in the Yuanyang Pavilion.

Wang Ziyun was also very satisfied with Xu Yuncheng's masterpiece.

He took his proud disciple's hand and went to the Farewell Pavilion to show off to Jian Yuyan... Oh no, he was looking for guidance from someone else!

Hahaha, I'm here again. My dear friends, this boy is my disciple. All three of them are Confucian masters. Please give me some advice and enlighten the young people. Yuncheng, what are you still doing? Quickly salute the teachers.

Wang Ziyun was indescribably proud.

Three gentlemen, my student Xu Yuncheng has little talent and little knowledge, and his writing is not worthy of being refined. Please correct me, gentlemen!

Xu Yuncheng quickly bowed to the three Confucian masters as students, and then handed over the farewell poem he had just written.

Of course, young people don't have so many cities, so their faces are full of pride.

Jian Yuyan took a look at the poem and found that it was indeed a rare and excellent work.

In fact, this Xu Yuncheng is also a rare good prospect, but he has always been overshadowed by the light of Chang'an Shuang'an.

But Jian Yuyan still felt unhappy.

Look at Wang Ziyun, how wrinkled his old face is when he smiles. This is Chi Guoguo showing off!

Of course, Jian Yuyan, a great scholar, would definitely not vent his anger on a young student, even if the student was a student of the Imperial College.

He casually mentioned a few compliments and then excused himself.

Wang Ziyun was secretly happy, and even more so, he teased: Hey, Brother Yuyan doesn't have any disciples to see you off? It's really a waste of time. Why don't I ask this student to write a farewell poem for Brother Yuyan? Bar.

On the side, Wang Yangming and Du Yan, two bad friends, were just watching the show with nothing more than holding the melon in their hands.

The dispute between Du Yan and Jian Yuyan was for outsiders to see.

But the dispute between Wang Ziyun and Jian Yuyan was a dispute between literati and educational concepts. So everyone was happy to watch the excitement.

But in most cases, Jian Yuyan has the advantage. After all, he is the number one scholar himself and has trained two number one scholars.

Now that they finally see that Jian Yuyan is going to be defeated, these two bad friends are secretly happy in their hearts.

Just when Jian Yuyan wanted to be angry but could not be angry, and was in a dilemma, Li Nuo came late to save him, oh no, it was Feng Chenbusi who came over.

He squeezed through the crowd arrogantly, then straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to Jian Yuyan: Teacher Ankang, the student is late.

He knew that his mentor was going to Shangyang Pass to take up his post, but he didn't expect that he would hide it from him and not give him a chance to practice it!

Fortunately, I finally caught up.

Jian Yuyan walked out of the farewell pavilion and helped Li Nuo up: What are you doing here? Are you just causing trouble?

Li Nuo unpacked the baggage behind him.

It's a tiger fur cloak.

The fur of this tiger skin is soft and silky, and the color is bright and lustrous. It looks like top quality at first glance. Moreover, the workmanship is meticulous and it is definitely made by the home owner.

Li Nuo personally put the big cloak on Jian Yuyan's shoulders and said with concern: It's cold in the north. This cloak adds a bit of warmth to my mentor, which can be regarded as a thoughtful gesture from the student.

Jian Yuyan accepted it calmly and said with a happy smile: You are serious. This tiger skin is not easy to get.

This is no ordinary tiger skin.

Instead, Li Nuo went into the [Purgatory Tower] and personally killed a fifth-grade tiger demon. Then he asked Liu Xiangjun to help him and spent several nights sewing it.

Li Zian! I haven't settled the account with you last time at the gate of the Qin Mansion! Today, the teachers and commanders are all here, so I can settle it with you!

Xu Yuncheng, who was ignorant, was not willing to perform the drama of master's kindness and disciple's filial piety for the master and apprentice.

Xu Yuncheng? Do you want to settle a score with me? Come on, come on!

Li Nuo rolled up his sleeves regardless of any image, as if no matter how old you are, I will really beat you up.

Bah! It's insulting to politeness!

Sweep the floor politely!

Ashamed to be associated with Shuzi!

In front of many great scholars, if he was beaten up, it would really be a loss of face. Everyone waved their sleeves and scolded Li Zian for being arrogant and unreasonable.

But I completely forgot that people now consider themselves martial artists all the time.

Li Nuo is happy.

The best way to deal with these shameless scholars is to beat them until their faces are bruised and embarrass them in public.

Li Zian, don't be complacent. Mr. Xu wrote a farewell poem, and even your mentor Jian Yuyan, the great scholar, praised it. How about our former No. 1 scholar also comment on it? Or if you have the ability, you can also write a farewell poem. Poetry, can you and your mentor create a good relationship between teacher and student?

The Imperial Academy student naturally wanted to move back to the first bureau, so he immediately made a sarcastic comment.

Li Zian, aren't you very good at composing poetry? If you can write a first-class poem within half a stick of incense, then I will definitely avoid you when I see you in the future.

Xu Yuncheng looked at Li Nuo proudly.

Now I have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, just to beat up the drowned dog and take revenge!

Xu Yuncheng, who gave you the courage to challenge me? Hey, Brother Jianluo, are you here too?

Li Nuo asked arrogantly, with contempt in his eyes.

He is a martial artist, so the hypocritical mask of a Confucian scholar should be completely torn off.

He is just vulgar and a piece of meat. What can you do to me?

The mentioned brother picking up leaks was Zhang Jianshen, the number one pick leaking scholar who took the imperial examination with him.

Poor Zhang Jianshen probably has to live in the shadow of Li Nuo for the rest of his life——

Zhang Jianshen: This scholar was the number one scholar in the 105th year of Yongnian and the 15th year of Jingshun!

Others: No, you missed it.

Zhang Jianshen: I am already at the sixth level of Confucianism and Taoism at the age of twenty-two. I am extremely talented and my talents are eight dozen high!

Others: No, you missed it.

Zhang Jianshen: I am a Hanlin editor, and I am rising rapidly. Twenty years later, I will join the cabinet and pay homage to the prime minister!

Others: No, you missed it!

Zhang Jianshen: I will marry Cui Wanwan, the daughter of Prime Minister Cui!

Others were shocked: Damn it, you dare to miss this?

Zhang Jianshen died at the age of twenty-two...
