This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 377 Marriage reward? ?
Jinluan Hall.

Everyone looked up at Jianhong on the dragon throne.

Jianhong's eyes only looked at the students for a moment, and then fell on Hai Wuyan, who was standing calmly.

At this time, Hai Wuyan's eyes were dull, looking at Jianhong with a look that was neither humble nor overbearing.

The students who came out of Qinghe Academy are all like this. They only respect the Confucian sages of heaven and earth, and then the emperor of the world.

Seeing Hai Wuyan's look, Jianhong was not only not angry, but also had a smile on his face:
"Come on, students, the names of the palace examinations will be made public immediately."

As he said that, Xiao Huangmen came forward, respectfully took a stack of test papers from the old eunuch's hands, and sent the stack of test papers to the official who opened the papers.

"Have fun!"

The next moment, some beauties came forward and came to the hall, dancing gracefully while music sounded.

Hearing this voice, everyone's eyes became solemn.

If his son wins the first prize in this imperial examination, the Hai family will definitely become more prominent in the capital.

A bitter smile was followed by an expression of relief.

Hai Wuyan's fists were clenched, and he knew that his results had come out.

My uncle is a scholar, and he understands the eight-character mantra that if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

I secretly accepted the emperor's order and was valued by His Majesty. In less than a year after entering the capital, I had already won the rank of fourth-rank young minister from the first county level.

Still from end to end.

The sound sounds like the chirping of cicadas in summer, to drive away spring.

Every time a name comes out, some students sigh with regret or look happy.

Jianhong just smiled gently, and then announced to all the officials to find the clothes of Duke Zhuangyuan, personally stepped forward and put them on him, and finally helped him tidy up his clothes.

"Those who win the first prize can ride fierce horses and run around the capital!"

"The second place winner is Qizhou Liu Tai!"

Therefore, he was also afraid that his Hai family would be involved in the whirlpool among scholars because of this matter.

But what if the son of this fourth-grade official becomes the number one scholar again? ?
What a buff this is!
It can be imagined that as long as Hai Rui does not make any big mistakes in the future and just smoothes the relationship in the officialdom for his son, then at least in the next forty years, the Hai family will definitely be an extremely prominent family in Dayong! !
There’s no need to think too much about this!
"The number one scholar! Qinghe Academy is safe!!"

A student looked at his paper with a wry smile on his face.

The stop was so abrupt, but this loud shout also reached everyone's ears!

The uncle looked at his son in surprise, the ecstasy in his eyes could not even be expressed in words.

Only two names left! !
Either the second place or the top pick! !
This has completely exceeded my uncle's psychological expectations.

To be honest, although the senior officials of the fourth rank are already quite big officials in Beijing, there are still many people above them who can firmly dominate them.

He is also a talented boy in Hezhou.

Whispers and sounds of envy and jealousy reached the ears of the uncle and everyone else.

"The last person in the palace examination is Liu Xiuye ​​from Hezhou."

Hai Wuyan took a deep breath, and without hesitation, he stepped forward respectfully:

Being able to go to the palace with these proud men, I thought I would win a ranking, but I didn't expect that my article would be so unpopular with the emperor.

As the last song stopped, the music suddenly stopped at this moment.

And the uncle and Hai Wuyi have become the targets of public criticism!

The desire to win His Majesty's favor is beyond words.

It was already an honor for him to be awarded the title of Jinshi in the palace, but he did not dare to ask for more.

Even if his father is already a senior member of the fourth rank.

This voice was sung, and was accompanied by the music of the strings in the palace. This singing voice also shook people's hearts.

The music in the palace originated from the first enke ceremony held by Taizu Dayong, and it has been used to this day.

The guzhengs were neatly placed in the hall. Someone was playing the instrument, with a serious look on their face. They touched the strings lightly with their fingers, and beautiful notes jumped out one after another.

Amidst this tense music, everyone’s hearts were beating nervously.

But when I arrived at this place where literati gathered, I was so unremarkable that I even ended up at the end of the queue.

As soon as this sound was heard, everyone's eyes fell on Hai Wuyan among the crowd.

However, the uncle did not get carried away. His face was ecstatic, but there was a hint of worry in his heart.

Until now, only three people's names in the palace have not been mentioned.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I will work hard for my Dayong from now on!"

"The top three will be exempted from Dongzhou and will be called the third flower!"

Time passed slowly.

Everyone knew clearly that Hai Wuhuang was the top candidate in this palace examination!
This is from a prominent family!

However, people are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of appearance.

"Yes!"

This custom is what it should be.

Also let all the people in the capital know that in this palace examination, the name of the number one scholar is taboo.

Riding on the tall horse, Hai Wuyan felt extremely comfortable.

He has been waiting for a long time, for many years, and finally today!
Today is the day when Hai Wuyan will become famous all over the world! !
Everyone in the crowd looked at that young and somewhat exaggerated face with admiration.

"This year's No. 1 Scholar..."

"very young!!"

"I'm afraid he's in his teens, right?"

"Wen Quxing from Qinghe Academy, no wonder!"

"Is Hai okay??"

"Don't call the Number One Scholar directly by his name!!"

"..."

The noise of the crowd no longer affected Hai Wuyan.

His eyes were fixed on the broad road in front of him. The aloof look on his face finally dissipated, and an inexplicable smile appeared. He waved the horse's rein gently:
"drive!"

A cold voice sounded, and the big red horse neighed and made a crisp and sweet "ta-da" sound on the ground.

Following him is this year’s No. 2 overall pick.

The so-called spring breeze is nothing more than that.

……

Lu Yuanzhi's face was cold.

At this time, he had already left the alley, and a group of soldiers and black brocade and white jade were galloping towards him.

"Lu Yunpei??"

A familiar Feng Pei among the black brocade and white jade in the distance saw Lu Yuanzhi, came forward and clasped his fists respectfully and asked:
"Lu Yunpei, what happened to the Colossus here?"

After taking a look at the visitor, Lu Yuanzhi looked cold:
"Someone assassinated me, but when I caught him, he blew himself up."

"what??"

Hearing this, Feng Pei's eyes froze.

Then he quickly reacted and looked shocked:
"How dare someone assassinate Yunpei of the current generation in the street??!!"

"Humph."

Lu Yuanzhi didn't speak, just snorted coldly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the soldiers who came with this team of black brocade and white jade.

"Lu Yunpei?"

The leader of the soldiers was a black-faced general, wearing the armor of the Forbidden Army.

"you are?"

Seeing this black-faced general, Lu Yuanzhi frowned.

"The last general is a member of the imperial army. Today, during the imperial examination, a loud noise was heard in the sky. Your Majesty ordered the last general to investigate."

The black-faced general had a respectful look on his face.

Yunpei and Lu Yuanzhi's reputation is obviously known to everyone in Beijing.

"Well, there were thieves who assassinated me. Three of them escaped, and one of them blew himself up."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was still cold.

"This……"

The black-faced general looked shocked. He glanced at the big crater formed by the self-destruction not far away, and said with some hesitation:

"The general is also a martial artist. Although he is not only a fifth-grade breath collector, it can be seen that this big hole was definitely not caused by the self-destruction of a mere fifth-grade warrior. At the very least..."

"Well, it's the work of a high-quality martial artist."

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was calm. "ah????"

The general swallowed hard after hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, and his mouth opened wide.

After a while, the general smiled bitterly:
"Then you think Lu Yunpei knows the identity of the assassin?"

"Nature knows."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded.

All the fourth-grade warriors in the capital have their own names. Thinking about the black-faced general, Lu Yuanzhi must have fought with the thief before, so he must know who the thief is.

"I wonder if Lu Yunpei can reveal it conveniently?"

The black-faced Chinese character smiled bitterly, looked at Lu Yuanzhi and asked.

"So that the general can have something to report when he returns."

"Just say that someone assassinated me and I killed him in return."

Lu Yuanzhi finished speaking calmly, then turned and left.

He didn't even look at the people in the same place.

Looking at his retreating figure, the team of black brocade and white jade looked at each other with the black-faced general.

……

Lu Yuanzhi walked towards the palace without hesitation.

The fact that Marquis Ling Yun and three fourth-grade men surrounded him and killed him was definitely not over.

As soon as I walked out of the street, I saw a horse team approaching in front of me.

Looking from a distance, an intriguing smile appeared in Lu Yuanzhi's eyes.

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

Although Lu Yuanzhi is still not that sensitive to politics now, he is no longer the curious baby he was when he first entered Beijing.

In front of them was the champion team headed by Hai Wuhuang.

Hai Wuhuang, with a red hat on his head and red flowers on his chest, was riding on a tall horse. Needless to say, he looked full of energy.

"It seems that this year's champion has already come out."

Lu Yuanzhi thought so.

In less than five years, the Hai family has already produced a third-ranked scholar and a number one scholar.

This is no longer something God can express.

From ancient times to the present, no lintel has ever achieved such an achievement.

It’s not just a question of literary talent, but also a question of His Majesty’s choice.

No emperor would allow such a family to appear within his jurisdiction.

But it happened to be here, in Jianhong's hands.

Hai Wuyan's top pick was chosen by Jianhong himself.

that……

Lu Yuanzhi already had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.

Then Ling Yunhou came to assassinate him...it might be related to Jianhong.

Think of this.

Instead, Lu Yuanzhi stopped heading towards the court.

His eyes became distant, and then slowly dissipated. He looked at Hai Wuyan who was riding on the horse, and he clapped slowly with a smile on his face.

……

In Ji Xuan's sex room.

Lu Yuanzhi sat opposite Ji Xuan with an expressionless face.

At this time, Ji Xuan was holding the teacup in his left hand, and his right hand slowly clicked rhythmically on the table.

After a long time, Ji Xuan put down the tea cup in his hand and frowned slightly:
"Thinking about it, the No. 1 Scholar Hai Wuyan was probably Jianhong's choice after he learned that he failed to assassinate you."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded slowly:
"My subordinates also speculated the same."

Hearing Lu Yuanzhi's echoing voice, Ji Xuan unexpectedly raised his head and glanced at Lu Yuanzhi.

He didn't expect that Lu Yuanzhi could figure this out.

"The old slave tried his best to hold you back. When Ling Yun returns to the palace, he will definitely report to Jianhong about your breakthrough to the third level."

"In fact, according to Jianhong's temperament, he will definitely not give the number one scholar to Hai Wuyan, but after learning that you have broken through the third level..."

Having said this, Ji Xuan's face showed a faint smile:
"In order to contain me, he even went so far as to create a prominent family with his own hands to win over you."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded slowly, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes:
"So what should I do next?"

"How to do it?"

Ji Xuan suddenly laughed and looked at Lu Yuanzhi:

"Don't you like to take advantage the most?"

"Ah?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked up blankly.

"Don't you want to marry Princess Changle?"

Ji Xuan glanced at Lu Yuanchui teasingly.

"Uh."

Lu Yuanzhi's face became visibly dry, and he hesitated:
"I...uh, I don't understand what you are talking about, Mr. Ji."

"hehe."

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's confused expression, Ji Xuan's lips curled up slightly:
"Since the life and death of Marquis Weiwu has been unknown, there is no longer a force in the court that can compete with me. The whole court has even become the dominant force of Ji Xuan. Jianhong is suffering every day."

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, he took a gentle breath and looked at Ji Xuan calmly.

"So now he desperately needs someone to support him and fight me."

Ji Xuan's mouth slowly smiled.

"So he chose me?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked in a deep voice, seeming to understand.

"No, it's your uncle."

Ji Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that he still overestimated Lu Yuanzhi's political IQ.

"what??"

Lu Yuan was stunned, his eyes full of confusion.

"You don't really think that you can hide the drama between you and Hai Runze in the mansion and the uncle-nephew breakup from Jianhong, do you?"

Ji Xuan sneered and looked at Lu Yuanzhi:

"In Hai Runze's mansion, I can even insert Pei Yinlang's spies. How difficult is it for Jianhong to put his eyes in?"

"Uh."

Lu Yuanzhi's face became even more embarrassed:

"It turns out that Ji Gong already knows."

"Not just me, His Majesty also knows."

Ji Xuan smiled gently and looked at Lu Yuanzhi:

"It's just that the other officials don't know."

"So, you still haven't told me what I should do next?"

Lu Yuanzhi poured himself a cup of tea and also filled Ji Xuan's tea. After taking a sip, he looked at Ji Xuan curiously.

Ji Xuan sighed helplessly:
"You are indeed not fit to be an official."

Lu Yuanzhi scratched his head gently: "This subordinate also knows."

"Next, accept the reward Jianhong gives you calmly. If nothing else happens, he will make a big fuss about your detection of Tianwei's Heart the day before yesterday, benefit you, and then sow discord between you and me... "

When Ji Xuan said this, his face changed into a smile but not a smile:

"Then the vacant deputy commander's position under Dr. Pei Yin should be assigned to you."

"Hi~ He is quite generous."

Lu Yuanzhi took a breath of cold air.

Because of Ji Xuan's presence, Deputy Commander Pei Yinlang kept this position vacant.

"Then if nothing else happens, he will choose one from the clan or one of his direct princesses to marry you..."

The corners of Ji Xuan's mouth turned up unconsciously...
