Dao Fruit

"Yes, this Qiu Yan is the Jieyuan of Jiannan Dao this time, but his original identity is actually a scholar who failed in many examinations and could not even pass the examination. He has no background and no background in his family."

Opposite Wang Fu, a young man was talking eloquently. His eyes were bright when he spoke, and he seemed to be full of energy. His movements showed a sense of high spirits.

Although everyone here is dressed up in different ways, if you look closely at their clothes, you can see that they are not ordinary materials. Together with their expressions and temperament, they give people a feeling of wealth and power. When the young man speaks, they are all Smiling and listening, it shows that the young man's status is not ordinary.

This person can speak without 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 finished speaking, a middle-aged man took over: "He has failed in many tests and has no background in his family. Generally speaking, this person has a very small chance of passing the exam. But since the Prime Minister mentioned this person, I Then he looked through the files and found that his performance in the imperial examination was smooth sailing, he came out on top in every aspect, and defeated many talented people from Jiannan. It was really unexpected, and he was even more prosperous in Dongdu recently, attracting attention. Many people praised it.”

The man who answered the call had a face with Chinese characters and long and thin eyes, giving people a majestic yet shrewd feeling.

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

"Oh? Pan Xiang, you might as well explain it in detail." The man named Cen Bo hadn't replied yet, and another man, about thirty years old, asked in return.

His words revealed the identity of the young man, and it turned out to be Pan Xiang, the second son of the Pan family in Yuanning Prefecture, Jiannan Dao!

Today's new law warriors have been on a meteoric rise in recent years.

"Zhang Hou, since I raised this matter in front of the Prime Minister, I must make it clear. You don't have to rush me." Pan Xiang glanced at the man, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately and remained calm. said.

At this moment, Wang Fu, who was sitting upright, suddenly said: "According to your opinion, the reason why Qiu Yan was able to succeed in the imperial examination and is now becoming famous has something to do with Ma Yang?"

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

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Another man spoke up. This man was fair-skinned and about forty years old, but his eyes were like stars and he was handsome. "So, isn't Qiu Yan Ma Yang's disciple?"

"That's right." Pan Xiang glanced at the man, "If it weren't for Mr. Ma Xiangguo's guidance, this man would still be wasting his time, how could he have achieved such achievements, even the Holy Spirit has traces in his heart."

"Well, when you say that, it is indeed a threat," the handsome man in his forties nodded. "The Holy One has occasionally mentioned this person recently, which shows that he has a deep memory."

"oh?"

When he said this, everyone else looked shocked, obviously it was the first time they had heard of it.

It was no small matter for the emperor to occasionally mention it.

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

In a centralized society, every move and word of the emperor has an unimaginable impact on others. Even an unintentional sentence or two will be carefully analyzed by someone to find out the emperor's inclination and then arrange it. Countermeasures.

A big reason why the new party led by Wang Fu was able to get the emperor's support was that it grasped the emperor's thoughts and realized its political ambitions while doing what he wanted.

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

After Tian Youqing spoke, he did not pause and said: "Since he is a disciple of Ma Yang, he is talented and knowledgeable, has strategies, and his reputation has risen, so he cannot let it go. If he is allowed to see the holy face, what will happen? Talents are all in danger, and given the emperor's thoughts, he will probably be particularly favored and put to good use. "

He narrowed his eyes and showed a sneer: "The old party is inherently corrupt and hinders the progress of the country. Once Qiu Yan has a background, he will be a general of the old party, which is very disadvantageous to us. Such a person cannot be given He has the slightest chance to get ahead!"

The words are full of awe-inspiring meaning.

After hearing this, the others looked at each other and knew that Tian Youqing was not targeting Qiu Yan. No matter how great his achievements were in the imperial examination, Qiu Yan was still just an imperial examination candidate. He did not even have an official position and was not considered. Tian Youqing took it to heart, and the reason why he said such words was actually aimed at Ma Yang, who was behind Qiu Yan.

Ma Yang, the old Prime Minister of the country, had great prestige. After returning to the court, he took charge of affairs and calmed down the turmoil in the court caused by the reform. Even the emperor who was prejudiced against him had to rely more heavily on him.

However, after Ma Yang stabilized the government, he began to fight against the New Party, and there was enmity with the New Party from top to bottom, but among them, Tian Youqing was undoubtedly the person who hated Ma Yang the most, because Ma Yang had named They said he had evil intentions and confused Wang Fu's mind, and gave him a "treacherous" evaluation!

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

From that day on, Tian Youqing regarded Ma Yang as his enemy, but if he had the opportunity to attack, he would not let it go. However, although Ma Yang said that his political views were conservative, he was self-disciplined and had high prestige. How could he be like Tian Youqing? Can the younger generation shake it? Targeted ten times, defeated nine times, and the remaining one is often unsatisfactory.

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

Everyone present is a member of the New Party. It can be said that they are the core of the New Law and are in charge of the policy direction of Da Rui. The reason why they gather here is to take advantage of the lantern festival to cleanse Pan Xiang.

Pan Xiang supervised the war in northern Xinjiang this time and won military exploits, which allowed the New Party to expand its power in the military. It can be said that he made great contributions. It should be noted that although the New Party controlled most of the government, its foundation was shallow. One of the aspects was that it was manifested in the military. Fang did not have suitable spokespersons and supporters. Pan Xiang's military exploits undoubtedly opened a breakthrough.

After everyone gathered, all they discussed were military and state affairs. After three rounds of drinking, Wang Xiangguo recalled a name he heard in the palace and asked, which shocked Pan Xiang. This led to the scene in front of him. .

Seeing that everyone was talking more and more deeply, Wang Fu patted the table, and everyone stopped talking after asking what they knew.

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

As he was talking, he remembered something again: "Speaking of which, the reason why Qiu Yan got the attention of the Holy Emperor was not Ma Yang's help, but a military strategy. The military strategy was written in the examination room. I I have also read the transcript, and it is said that it is something that an ordinary scholar can write. Not to mention that he has failed in many attempts, even if he really has no fame, with this ability, he will not have to worry about a way out. "

As soon as he said this, everyone else's voices stopped. Then Wang Fu glanced around and brought up the topic.

Pan Xiang felt uneasy. He noticed that Wang Fu's eyes seemed to have deep meaning when he looked at him.

"Has the Prime Minister seen my selfishness?" Cold sweat rolled down his head. "It seems that it is not that easy to take advantage of the Prime Minister."

Later in the banquet, everyone talked about some things, but Pan Xiang kept a low profile.

However, he did not notice that across the wine table, a man was paying attention to his expression from time to time. This man was thin and did not have the aura of nobility exuded by others, but his eyes shone with a cold gaze. 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 made an appointment with Pan Xiang to talk the next day, which made the latter feel happy.

………………

At the same time, 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 great scholars. Now there are rumors in the government and the public that the purpose of this examination will change. At that time, Wang Fu will calm down the old The grievances between the parties must be compromised, and one of the methods is to let the old party members go to high school. This Qiu Yan has a good chance! "

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

Opposite this person, the shopkeeper of the book collection inn knelt on the ground, nodded repeatedly, then raised his head and tried to ask: "Do you mean to do it as soon as possible? Through Qiu Yan's friends, he was rushed to the list before he was listed. Wenqi is also collected and made into bookmarks?"

"This matter..." The man in the shadow was speaking, but his voice suddenly stopped. His whole body was shaken, and his voice suddenly increased, "How brave! How dare you steal in the Hanlin Academy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wind started to rise. When the bookkeeper looked again, there was no human figure in the shadows.

"Huh? The Hanlin Academy was robbed?" The shopkeeper heard the clues from what he just said and felt a little incredible.

………………

In the inn, Qiu Yan sat at the table with a pen in his hand and paper spread on the table. He was silent and frowning.

Finally, he shook his head and sighed.

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

Sighing, he put the pen aside and was about to stand up when a "crash" sound suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and saw four objects: baby ginseng, eight-character ancient seal script, incense burner, and difficult animals. They were knocked away. The window whirled down.

Snap!
