Chapter 682 Building an Almighty Blue Sky

"Brother, the rankings are officially announced. Our college has fifty-one students, and thirty-two are admitted, and Songyang Academy has sixty students, and only thirteen are admitted. This time they have lost face."

Jiang Jing came in excitedly and told the good news.

Li Yan also smiled, very happy: "So, Songyang Academy has snatched [-] places, and its performance is seriously abnormal, not bad!"

Jiang Jing smiled and said: "If Songyang Academy does not perform abnormally, I am afraid that other academies in Beijing will not be able to get any quotas. This time, other academies praise brother, and they have formed a relationship with Songyang Academy."

Li Yan didn't care about it: "We just need to run the school well. Don't pay attention to what's wrong with this."

Jiang Jing was very displeased with Songyang Academy. He originally went to study in the Eight Great Academies, but he was discouraged by the high tuition fees and did not want to make the old man Jiang who was studying for him work harder. Now that he has a salary from the academy, his life has suddenly become better. After getting up, I was even more excited to see the opportunity to grow: "After this battle, our college has already gained a reputation in the capital, and we can expand the number of students."

Li Yan warned: "The premise of expanding the student base is that there are enough professors. After the year, the first step for the academy is to recruit more students as teachers."

"However, one thing to keep in mind is that if you study well, you may not be able to teach others. I was not very satisfied with the previous professors, who were immersed in reading all day long. I understand their desire to be admitted to Jinshi, but since they have taken the academy's The salary should also be concerned about the students."

"Next, those who are perfunctory will be dismissed, eliminated and screened, and after they have suitable education, they will expand the source of students."

Jiang Jing nodded his head, a little bit reluctant: "Understood! Brother seems to have decided to leave the capital after the next year?"

Li Yan said with a smile: "My father has already gone north to the Daming Mansion, and I also want to take this opportunity to go out for a walk. Maybe I can open a few more academies outside. I will leave Beijing to you."

Jiang Jing solemnly said: "Please rest assured, brother, we will live up to our trust!"

Li Yan is also a student who intends to train the first batch of Suian. This group of people has their own strengths, and now they are leading them to a broader future. Of course, they also need to be given a grander stage for them to display their talents.

After Jiang Jing left, he immersed himself in writing the textbook for the next stage, when suddenly he heard a cat jumping in from the outside.

It's not Xiao Hei, but he has the aura of a bronze medal of beast control on his body. Although Li Yan doesn't know that he is one of the five tiger generals, he also knows that Xiao Hei may have gained something.

Sure enough, the cat trotted in and put down the scroll it was holding in its mouth.

Li Yan unfolded it, and found that he first drew a lake with the moon hanging in the sky. There were a few people dressed as servants by the lake, who seemed to be waiting for something, and Xiao Hei squatted on the other side to watch them.

Don't worry about the location, it's written slantedly next to it, Jin Mingchi.

"This efficiency makes the Song court ashamed!"

Li Yan got up happily, thought for a while, took out the secluded armor from the box and put it on.

After more than half an hour, he rushed to the outside of Jinming Pond, the sky had already darkened, and night fell again.

In Bianjing, Jinming Pond is also a landmark building, because after the end of each imperial examination, Jinshi would ride horses and bring flowers to the street, from Donghua Gate to Jinming Pond in the west of the city, to participate in the Qionglin Banquet.

The surface of this pool is neither big nor small. Looking down from a high altitude, it is a relatively regular square. Because it is cold winter, a layer of ice has formed on the surface of the lake.

Xiao Hei was skating on the ice, having a good time, when he sensed a creature approaching, he stopped immediately and put on a serious look. After finding out that it was Li Yan, he relaxed again and walked around a few more times , and then waved his paw in this direction.

Li Yan laughed, this cat really cared about maintaining its majesty in front of his subordinates, at the same time, it sensed its thoughts and was confirmed: "The meaning in the painting is that there will be eunuchs trading here tonight..."

He stuck the secluded armor on his leg, and his body suddenly became blurred and floated into the lake.

Xiao Hei returned to the small hall on the island in the middle of the lake, facing the water and watching the wind, his fur gradually turned pure black, while absorbing the energy of heaven and earth into his body, his body also merged with the darkness, as if he was invisible.

One person and one cat waited patiently. After half an hour, the sound of horseshoes came.

"He's really Tong Guan's godson."

When the visitor got off his horse and arrived at the Jinming Pond, Li Yan glanced over and knew that he had found the right target this time.

Tong Guan's style is quite different from that of ordinary eunuchs. Not only is he handsome and powerful, his voice is like a bell, but he also has a beard. Just from his appearance, he has nothing to do with eunuchs.

What is good at the top is good at the bottom, and Tong Guan's godsons also like to build up their strength and improve their martial arts. As the "Zuo Ming" who bloodbathed six mansions with Dong Yunzi, this is very clear.

So unless there is a very small probability that there is also a group of servants and servants in the palace who love to practice martial arts, otherwise these five burly eunuchs who appear here should be the ones who visit Tong Guan's grave during the festival.

The five godsons stood by the pool and began to wait silently.

The cold wind howled and whined.

Li Yan felt that if he floated out like this, one or two Liu Guangshi might appear again.

According to the news he heard in the past few days, the future ZTE fourth general had signs of madness after being frightened.

Compared to He Lan Minzhi, who told the shocking truth about the ex-princess concubine who was forced to death, she was not frightened mad, but was driven mad by force. Li Yan shook his head even more because the general was so unintimidated.

Just thinking about it, there was another sound of horseshoes.

But this time the direction is different.

Tong Guan's five godsons came from the direction of the inner city, and the ones who came at this time were from the direction outside Bianjing.

Three fast horses arrived, the visitor covered his body with a hood, turned over, but did not walk over directly, still stood vigilantly beside the horses, as if ready to leave at any time.

Tong Guan's son-in-law showed disdain when he saw it, and said in a slightly sharp tone: "Since you don't even have the courage to do so, why are you here to talk?"

The leader replied coldly: "Courage is not used to be brave. Have you brought proof of what we want?"

Li Yan's brows twitched as the voice came into his ears: "This accent is from Longyou..."

Tong Guan's godson looked at their horses and was very dissatisfied: "You didn't even bring the money, and you still want to see our certificate? Don't you guys know that this thing has a lot to do with it, and there are more than one group of buyers?"

The person with the Longyou accent shook his head, but his tone was full of conviction: "Don't lie, Tong knows that after death, if you can sell it to someone else, you won't contact us. This thing is indeed important, but the person who gets it will also kill you." You shut up, don't you?"

Tong Guan's godsons suddenly changed their expressions.

Tong Guan actually had seven mansions outside the palace, which were full of godsons, but six of them were slaughtered. It is said that the murderer was the leader of Wuyou Cave. In the Wuyou Cave, there were no bones left, and they immediately lost their support, and the secret in their hands suddenly became a hot potato.

If they hadn't been forced to do nothing, they wouldn't have made a deal with this group of people. Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative, Tong Guangan's son discussed in a low voice, and took out a thin booklet from his arms: "This is from the Zhending Wang family. Some corruption charges."

The person with a Longyou accent made a gesture, and the person behind him immediately stepped forward to take the booklet. After carefully flipping through it, he took out a thick stack of paper from his waist: "Cash money is not easy to carry, this is a transaction for ten thousand guan." son."

Tong Guan's godson got the jiaozi, looked at it carefully, and showed satisfaction: "It turns out that you trade this thing... that's fine! Next time we will bring more brochures, and you should prepare more jiaozi too." !"

The person with a Longyou accent paused, and said, "Can't you make a one-time payment? I understand that Shangguo can pay a lot of money!"

Tong Guangan's son chuckled, and regained the initiative: "The reason we can live until now is because we are not greedy, take our time every time, this is not negotiable, let me go!"

Seeing them turn around and leave, the person with the Longyou accent didn't stop at all, just got on his horse and rode away.

The two sides went far away, and only then did a figure in white float out of the Jinming Pond, and another big black cat came out of the darkness.

Li Yan raised his brows: "No wonder we have to meet in such an empty place as Jinmingchi. It turns out that it is Xi Xia's spy, in order to prevent ambushes around... Was it sent by Li Qianshun?"

This year, Xixia will have a very familiar year name, Zhenguan.

The ruler corresponding to this year name is Li Qianshun, the fourth emperor of Xixia. This person is a very accomplished monarch of Xixia, or it can be said that he is the most accomplished king of Xixia.

He ascended the throne when he was three years old, and his mother party ruled until he was sixteen years old, that is, last year, when Xiaoliang Empress Dowager rebelled and was poisoned by envoys sent by the Liao Kingdom, Li Qianshun was able to take charge of the government.

After this pro-government, he rectified the administration of officials, reduced taxes, paid attention to agriculture and mulberry, and built water conservancy. Under the diligent rule, Xixia, which was almost subjugated, was gradually revived and its politics was clear. Lian Jin destroyed Liao and Song, took the opportunity to seize the land of more than a thousand miles west of Hexi, and Xixia formed an unprecedented vast territory since then.

Originally, the Three Kingdoms were doing badly, especially Song Huizong came out from the Song Dynasty, and Emperor Tianzuo came out from the Liao Dynasty. Compared with these two bests, Li Qianshun is simply the macho man of Xixia. Under the rule, Xixia has indeed ushered in a turning point. While Song and Liao were tragically subjugated, the Dabai Shang Kingdom has become prosperous, and the reign name of Zhenguan is not wrong at all.

Of course, these are historical developments. The current situation is that this year is Li Qianshun's first year on the throne.

The seventeen-year-old new emperor is facing not only the foundation of the country, but also captured the Xixia Kuanghammer before the Song Dynasty and occupied the land again and again, which can be described as internal and external troubles.

Don't talk about prosperity, this rhythm is to subjugate the country.

So the purpose of these Xixia spies coming here is also very clear. They don't know how they learned about the existence of the crimes of the generals' family, and they want to do everything possible to get them.

A map of the base area appeared in Li Yan's mind, and he thought about the situation in Xixia and even the Liao Kingdom, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised:

"It seems that Gao Qiu hopes that the power of the Imperial City Secretary will come out of Beijing. There is really a possibility. Qingtian is becoming more and more powerful, and the civil servants are about to jump completely!"
