Monument Yangmen

Chapter 896 Are you happy to see me again?Is it surprising?

The exam took three days.

Three days later, Guo Shilang entered the imperial study room excitedly holding a list and thousands of papers.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty..."

"It's really the honor of His Majesty, and the honor of Great Yan, to recruit nearly a thousand talents from all over the world to recruit scholars this time."

Thousands of papers were placed in front of Yang Qi respectfully by Guo Shilang, and auspicious words came as soon as he opened his mouth.

With that flattering appearance, she looked more like an eunuch than Chen Lin.

If Yang Qi said at this moment, "The best talents in the world enter my urn", Guo Shilang would probably laugh even more flatteringly.

With Guo Shilang's kind reminder, Yang Qi first opened the admission list which recorded the examination of this subject.

He glanced at it and saw Jiang Chao's name.

Because of Jiang Chao's name, he was ranked in the top ten.

Yang Qi smiled knowingly, put down the list, and flipped through the papers on the table.

After about an hour.

Yang Qizai put down the paper, smiled at Guo Shilang, "Not bad..."

Guo Shilang was as happy as eating honey.

"This is what the minister should do."

Guo Shilang reported to Yang Qi some details about the palace examination in the future.

Then he exited the imperial study room.

As soon as Guo Shilang left, the smirk on Yang Qi's face disappeared instantly. He casually pulled out Jiang Chao's paper and threw it to Peng Pai who was standing beside him.

"Look..."

Peng Pai took Jiang Chao's paper, read it carefully, and said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, this article aims to be innovative, and it is a rare masterpiece. Are you planning to support Jiang Chao?"

Yang Qi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Tijia is a fart, this article was not written by him at all."

"what?"

"Ah, what, it's not that I haven't read Jiang Chao's articles. Although his articles have some merits, they lack a lot of skill in writing, and there are only three or five sentences in the entire article, and the rest are mostly Some sycophants.

If you look at this article again, the writing is sharp, the point of the pen is sharp, and it hits the key points. There is no superfluous place in the whole article.

Jiang Chao's articles are not comparable to his.

This is clearly written by someone. "

Peng Pai looked shocked, "You mean, Guo Shilang not only accepts bribes, but also writes for candidates?"

Yang Qi sneered and said: "It's not that I look down on Guo Shilang. Even if I let him go back and study for another ten years, he may not have the ability to write. He must have someone to help Jiang Chao write, or even find someone to help Jiang Chao take the exam."

Peng Pai was dumbfounded, "If this is the case, wouldn't the imperial examination become a joke?"

Yang Qi mocked: "Yes! The imperial examination has been turned into a trifle by them. This is the reason why I am determined to abolish the imperial examination. The next day will be the imperial examination. I want to see what other tricks he can play."

"Also, go and check for me to find out who is the ghostwriter behind this. Such a literary talent, if thrown into Yenching University for training, is also a usable talent.

However, this person helped Guo Shilang to help the tyrant, and he owed a lesson. After finding someone, he should teach him a lesson. "

"Hey~"

After Peng Pai got the order, he sent people to search for this person when he went down.

In just half a day, Peng Pai found someone to help Jiang Chao write.

A middle-aged man in his [-]s, with gray temples, thin and weak, as if he could be blown by a gust of wind, wearing a long gown made of cloth, he looked ordinary.

When Peng Pai brought him into the palace, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't appear to panic at all.

After seeing Yang Qi, he subconsciously bowed and bowed his legs halfway, as if remembering something, he straightened his legs, bowed slowly and said, "The King Yanling of the Wilderness Sees Your Majesty."

"Wang Yanling?"

Yang Qi always felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

Seeing this person for the first time, seeing him as ordinary, Yang Qi immediately lost interest, if he hadn't been humble and humble when meeting Yang Qi as a commoner, he wouldn't have thought about Yang Qi talking to him.

"Are you guilty?"

Yang Qi stared at Wang Yanling and asked coldly.

Wang Yanling bowed slightly, and said calmly: "The grassroots plead guilty."

Yang Qi was stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are convicted, if I punish you with a death sentence, will you accept it?"

"The grass people are convinced."

Wang Yanling remained calm.

Yang Qi was taken aback again, he made quick calculations in his head, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly laughed coldly.

"You think I won't kill you?"

At this point, Wang Yanling was stunned, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "No..."

"Why?"

Yang Qi's voice rose several degrees.

Wang Yanling hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth slowly, "Cao Min is useful to His Majesty, as well as to Jiangshan Sheji. Caomin thinks that His Majesty will not kill people who are useful to Jiangshan Sheji."

Yang Qi leaned back on the dragon chair, and looked at him jokingly, "You first found Guo Shilang when the imperial examination was re-opened, and then used his greed to help you successfully hand over your essay to our office. before."

On Yang Qilong's case, there were seven papers.

Yang Qi pointed to the paper and said: "Seven papers, seven national policies, straight to the point. Each one can be regarded as good advice for governing the country. Even if I want to find someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you in Yan Kingdom, I just I'm afraid I can count on one hand.

You expected that these articles would be delivered to me, and you also expected that I would see clues from these articles and finally find you.

And after meeting me face to face, you even used the means of playing hard to get to arouse my curiosity about you. "

Yang Qi looked at him coldly, "You are so talented, you don't follow the right path, but use these crooked ways to attract my attention, tell me, what is your plan?"

Yang Qi exposed Wang Yanling's mask word by word.

Wang Yanling didn't panic at all, he still said calmly: "Caomin has studied hard since childhood, and traveled abroad for many years, in order to show what he has learned and show his ambitions.

Of course, when the grassroots wanted to take part in the imperial examination.

His Majesty has risen strongly to replace Song and establish Yan.

However, instead of restoring the imperial examination, four colleges were established for the imperial court to recruit scholars.

There is no way for grassroots to serve the country.

Now, His Majesty reopened the imperial examination.

However, based on the grassroots' understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty loathes the cancer of Confucianism so much that he held the imperial examination again to select Confucian scholars.

Grassmen are a little confused.

So Cao Min wanted to use this move to see what kind of person His Majesty is.

Is not a person worthy of repayment. "

Yang Qi raised his head and asked coldly: "Now that you have seen it, tell me, what kind of person is I?"

"The bee is accurate, the eyes are long, the bird is chirping, the jackal is loud, little kindness but the heart of a tiger and a wolf, it is easy to get out of others, and it is easy to eat people when it is successful."

Wang Yanling talked eloquently.

Yang Qi frowned, and said with a sneer: "If I remember correctly, this sentence is what Qin Guoguo Wei Liao commented on Qin Shihuang back then. Do you want to tell me that you are a tyrant comparable to Yingzheng, or do you want to tell me that you are worthy? Celebrities like Wei Liao?"

Wang Yanling made a long salute, "Your Majesty's achievements are comparable to those of the first emperor. The talents of grassroots people are not inferior to Wei Liao."

Yang Qi got up slowly, and stared at him blankly, "Should I say you are arrogant, or should I say you are proud."

Wang Yanling straightened up and looked into Yang Qi's eyes neither humble nor overbearing.

After half an hour.

Yang Qi said quietly: "You want me to use you, but your method violates the laws of the country of Yan. Tell me, how should I treat you?"

"Grass people are willing to make meritorious deeds."

"What can you give me?"

"Caomin can help His Majesty manage the University of Seoul. Ten years later, Seoul will only be the Seoul of Yan State."

"I will give you this chance."

Yang Qi ordered Peng Pai: "Detain him and send him to Seoul. Let him start from the youngest professor. Ten years later, I want to see how he can give me a Seoul of the Yan Kingdom."

"My lord Yanling, thank you Lord Long En!"

Peng Pai was puzzled by the conversation between the two, and didn't understand what the sentence Yan Guo's Seoul meant.

But this does not prevent him from carrying out Yang Qi's order.

Immediately, he escorted Wang Yanling out of the imperial study.

When only Yang Qi was left in the imperial study room.

Yang Qi sighed and said: "Wang Yanling is worthy of being Wang Yanling, and he can actually see the shortcomings of Yan Kingdom."

The reason why Yang Qi said that was because he thought of Wang Yanling just now when he heard Wang Yanling compare himself to Wei Liao.

After all, as a time traveler.

Countless famous ministers in the history of the Song Dynasty were either captured by him or killed by him.

The sudden appearance of such a talented person as Wang Yanling made Yang Qi uncomfortable.

After searching all the memories in his mind, he found out the identity of Wang Yanling.

Speaking of which, this person has a relationship with the Yang family.

This person has not been recorded in the official history, and has always been considered a fictional character.

But in the romance of "The General of the Yang Family", he is an out-and-out big man.

A famous figure of a generation, the mentor of Bao Zheng, a scholar of Longtuge University.

These two identities are enough to explain.

The existence of Yang Qi itself proves that this is a world of romance.

Then the existence of Wang Yanling naturally makes sense.

It was precisely because of knowing Wang Yanling's identity that Yang Qi bypassed him and asked him to work in the University of Seoul.

Wang Yanling also proved his talent to Yang Qi through just a few words.

From the west of Yongzhou to Seoul, it used to be the land of the Southern Kingdom.

There are many ethnic minorities here.

When Su Yijian governed this place, he mostly supported the Han, Li, and Liao tribes.

This has also led to the fact that these three ethnic groups are powerful and frequently oppress other minorities with small numbers.

Therefore, from the establishment of the Southern Kingdom to the present, ethnic conflicts have frequently erupted here.

Because of ethnic relations, frequent hurtful things often happen.

This has almost become a heart disease for Yang Qi.

Yang Qi originally planned to wait until the matter of Confucianism had been dealt with before dealing with this matter.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yanling jumped out ahead of time and took over the matter.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

And Wang Yanling also successfully entered Yang Qi's eyes with his unique way and his reputation in the novel.

From the test papers of the scientific examination, a Wang Yanling was found, and Yang Qi was in a good mood.

So when holding the palace test.

Yang Qi specifically ordered the imperial dining room to prepare some good food for the examinees in this department.

It can be regarded as a reward for them to indirectly discover Wang Yanling.

Since the founding of the Yan Kingdom, it was the first imperial examination.

In the huge ceremony, it was held as scheduled.

Early in the morning.

The new imperial examination candidates wore the court uniforms given by the imperial court and waited outside the gate of the imperial palace.

After the imperial decree announced by Chen Lin was issued, the new imperial examination candidates, led by Guo Shilang, stepped into the palace with impassioned official steps.

All the way to Qianyuan Hall.

Inside Qianyuan Hall.

Food, tables, chairs, benches, pens, inks, papers and inkstones have already been prepared for the candidates.

The disciples were outside the hall, saluting while entering the main hall.

Because Yang Qi canceled the kneeling ceremony, all the disciples bowed to express their respect to the emperor.

After entering the hall.

They saw the majestic Yang Qi sitting on the dragon chair.

Today's Keya Yuan Jiang Chao, after seeing Yang Qi sitting on the dragon chair, was dumbfounded on the spot.

His eyes protruded, and he stared at Yang Qi dumbfounded. He opened and closed his mouth without making any sound.

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead all of a sudden.

He wanted to run, but he didn't dare to run.

Because he felt that the sabers in the hands of the imperial guards guarding the entrance of Qianyuan Hall seemed to be aimed at him.

As long as he ran, he would be cut to pieces immediately.

"Let's go! What are you doing stupidly!"

Following behind Jiang Chao raised his hand and pushed him.

Jiang Chao was pushed into the Qianyuan Hall as if he had lost his soul.

As he walked forward, the cold sweat on his forehead grew.

Because as Jinke Yayuan, his seat is just below the imperial steps, only five steps away from Yang Qi.

Yang Qi could see him clearly, and he could also see Yang Qi clearly.

Jiang Chao sat down tremblingly, not daring to raise his head.

But he could feel that two eyes fell on him, and they never left.

Many people saw Yayuan's unpromising appearance.

These people were full of contempt for Jiang Chao, but they didn't think of him.

Guo Shilang only thought that after seeing Yang Qi, the No. 1 in the world, he was intimidated by Yang Qi's dragon prestige, and was a little timid.

"Your Majesty, there are 480 candidates for this imperial examination, and all of them are here."

"Open the book!"

After Guo Shilang reported, Yang Qi gave the order to start the exam.

Sheets of blank paper were handed out to the candidates, under the gaze of all the people.

Guo Shilang unfolded the topic that Yang Qi personally drafted.

first question.

On sincerity.

Seeing these two words, Jiang Chao was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

He felt that this was Yang Qi reminding himself, and his whole body trembled even more.

When Guo Shilang saw his appearance, he almost kicked him out.

But he took Jiang Chao's money, so he could only open his mouth to help him explain in front of Yang Qi: "Your Majesty, our Yayuan, when we first met His Majesty, we were a little scared by His Majesty's dragon power..."

"is it?"

Yang Qi looked at Guo Shilang with a half-smile, "Guo Aiqing is very considerate to him."

Guo Shilang was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "The minister is also worried that because of nervousness, the country will lose a good talent."

"Good talent?"

Yang Qi repeated it, and looked at Jiang Chao with a smile.

"Head up!"

With a mournful face, Jiang Chao raised his head stiffly, his gaze dodged so that he didn't dare to look directly at Yang Qi's gaze.

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Jiang Chao, are you happy to see me again? Are you surprised?"

"Pfft!"

Jiang Chao couldn't hold back anymore, Yang Qi's seemingly plausible words, in his ears, were scarier than Yan Luo's ghostly voice.

He slumped on the ground like mud, kowtowing like garlic.

"Grass people deserve death!"

"Grass people deserve death!"

"..."

Yang Qi withdrew his gaze, and asked Guo Shilang sarcastically, "Is this the talent you mentioned? This is the talent you chose for me? It really is a talent!"
