"master!"

Tian Qi was startled and quickly went up to support Tian Youqing. He stretched out his hand and pinched the other person's middle. Tian Youqing trembled all over and slowly opened his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Qi turned to him and shouted: "Quick! Quickly give me some work!"

After the voice fell, a man who looked like a servant came forward, his muscles and bones trembling as he walked, and then he put his hand on Tian Youqing's chest. He exhaled vigorously and vibrated several times to disperse the gloomy air in Tian Youqing's chest. , allowing the latter to relax.

"Huh~"

Taking a long breath, Tian Youqing sat up, glanced at Tian Qi, and said: "It seems that the news was not informed to Lai San in time."

Tian Qi had already thought about this problem, and after hearing this, he said: "Master, after thinking about it for a while, I probably have an idea. I guess we overestimated Na Lai San."

"Huh? What does this mean?" Tian Youqing was slightly stunned and asked with a frown.

"Sir, you are an official of the imperial court. The imperial court has a complete structure. An order is issued and passed down from level to level, allowing people to perform their duties. But what is Lai San? But Xingjing is a rogue, relying on some brothers, you have In the final analysis, the confidence is just a mob. Even if the order is sent and falls into his hands, he does not have a complete organizational structure and the superiors and subordinates may not be clear. How can it be conveyed to the ears of the people who spread the rumors? "

"You mean?" Tian Youqing's heart moved.

Tian Qi nodded and said: "I heard that those who spread rumors were scattered among the crowd, and there was no one to coordinate and direct them. In this case, how to convey the order to others? There was no time to stop the spread of rumors, so it was no surprise. Master, there is no need to worry, after all, the only thing that has been reported is the fraud. The name of the person who committed the fraud has not been revealed yet, as long as there are no problems with Yu Fang..."

His words made Tian Youqing's heart settle back down, but before he finished speaking, there was a sound of clothes being ripped apart from outside the door, and a strong man fell from the sky. He turned out to be a martial arts master who came and went. !

After the man landed, he clasped his fists and said anxiously to the room: "Master! The failed candidates attacked the Imperial College! The scene was chaotic! Soldiers were trampled and seriously injured. The gate was smashed! There was also a commotion in the Gongyuan..."

"What?" Tian Youqing, who had just regained his breath, was startled again. Cold sweat started flowing down again. His body swayed slightly, but he did not faint again.

"It seems that things are not going well." A cold light flashed in Tian Youqing's eyes, "Those candidates are themselves civil servants and have status. Even if they fail the imperial examination, they will be local gentry when they return. As long as their minds are normal, they can He would not do such a thing, attack the Imperial Academy, and injure the soldiers. This would end his career! Could it be that no one could understand that the person who takes the lead will not end well? Scholars often let others come forward when they make trouble. , wait for the opportunity to move forward and retreat, and will not be so impulsive!"

Tian Qi was also shocked by the news and asked a few more questions. After confirming repeatedly, he finally frowned: "Is it because you feel that the law does not punish everyone?"

"There may be such a reason, but it cannot be ruled out that someone wants to be behind." Tian You Qingqiang calmed down and thought of one person, "Didn't Pan Xiang say that he also arranged it? Maybe this matter was done by him, but I don't know if he was. I know what happened to Qiu Yan’s vision.”

"Pan Xiang?" Tian Qi's eyelids twitched, "The master once told Lai San that things should be big, but not messy. You can lead the failed candidates to parade, but you can't attack the government. I think Pan Xiang knows how powerful he is, even if it's confiscated When I heard about Qiu Yan, I wouldn’t be so impulsive.”

"That's hard to say." Tian Youqing shook his head, "This incident was originally intended to attack the old party, but if there is a chance, I don't think Pan Xiang would mind moving his position in the new party."

At this point, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "That Qiu Yan is really not simple. I only regarded him as a nobody, with at least some connection with the old party. But now he has forced me to stop my plan, and may even cause trouble within the new party." The struggle, this person..."

He sighed: "If I have a chance, I would like to meet him and see what this man who wrote the vision is like."

Tian Qi's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Master, what should we do now? Since the failed student has attacked the Imperial College, the matter will not be settled. Should we throw that Lai San out to atone for his crime?"

As a staff member, Tian Qi can analyze things and come up with ideas, but when it comes to the real decision-making, Tian Youqing still has to make the decision himself.

"Throw Lai San out to make up for the crime?" Tian Youqing recalled Lai San's actions and shook his head, "That man is not a fuel-efficient person. He is suspected of being a mad dog. If you use him to make up for the crime, you can't kill him with a pole. It will inevitably cause trouble. ”

Tian Qi can understand the truth behind this after just a little thought.

When acting in official circles, they often do not pay attention to evidence and facts. What is needed is a "momentum." Tian Youqing framed Qiu Yan in order to set off a general trend against the old party and Ma Yang. When the momentum comes together, how can anyone else do it? No matter whether Qiu Yan was wronged or not, he would not be held accountable for this.

But now the situation has reversed. Not to mention taking the opportunity to deal with Ma Yang, just framing Qiu Yan himself may become a crime. If the higher-ups want to conduct a thorough investigation and involve Tian Youqing, it will be difficult to control the situation.

Tian Youqing's eyes flashed coldly: "No matter who is behind the push, he wants to use this matter to involve me, so the top priority is not to fight back, but to prevent this matter from being thoroughly investigated and to close the case quickly! "

Tian Qi's face showed confusion: "Close the case quickly? Nowadays, the candidates' attack on the Imperial College is a big deal. The investigation will inevitably take a long time!"

Tian Youqing shook his head and said: "If the failed candidates cause trouble for nothing, it will naturally take a long time because the investigation behind it is necessary. But if what they say is true, the court will definitely deal with the cheating person as soon as possible in order to calm people's complaints! So! Be a warning!”

"But this cheating person doesn't exist, and Qiu Yan..." Tian Qishang was still confused, but suddenly woke up mid-sentence, and looked at Tian Youqing with a confused expression.

"It seems that you have figured it out. After this happens, I can find someone to settle the accounts." Tian Youqing smiled bitterly, "Qiu Yan can't move. This person is too powerful. The two Wenran exam papers in history Everyone has visions on the spot, but when it comes to him, he waits until the announcement of the results to reveal the vision. I wonder if he did it deliberately to lure the snake out of its hole. "

These words made Tian Qi's hair stand on end: "It's impossible, right? How can he have such ability?"

"Whether he has this ability or not, he can write visions, which shows that this person is knowledgeable. If he becomes an official in the court in the future, there will be some trouble." Tian Youqing took a deep breath, "However, if he deliberately planned it, Then I have to be careful, otherwise even if the immediate matter is settled, there may be future troubles!"

Tian Qi was also worried: "Does Qiu Yan know that the master is behind this matter? If he knows..."

As they talked, both of them felt strange. One of them was a court official and a popular person in front of the emperor, and the other was a staff member of a high official. They usually plotted against high officials in the court, but now because one of them did not even have an official position, The candidates are worried, regretful, and faintly afraid!

"In any case, Qiu Yan can't move for the time being. Not only can't he move, but he also has to try to make friends. I heard that his exam papers are different from those of the old party. Maybe it's a way to attack Ma Yang. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. …”

After thinking about it, Tian Youqing ordered: "Go and let the other side take action. Copy a few copies of the exam papers that will be on the list and send them over quickly. Things will change later. The people must be selected before the court intervenes!"

"Yes!" Tian Qi knew the difficulty behind this order, but he no longer had the intention to think too much. He could only activate all information channels to complete the task.

A quarter of an hour later, more than a dozen test papers were placed on Tian Youqing's desk.

"It's too hasty. This is all we have for now. The rest will have to wait for a while..." Tian Qi reported to Tian Youqing, who had no intention of listening and had already turned over the exam papers.

What was placed on the top was Qiu Yan's test paper.

Of course, these are not originals, but copies. Due to haste, the notes were scrawled, and there were many typos and scribbles. After looking through them for a few times, Tian Youqing's face was gloomy and uncertain, which made Tian Qi frightened, fearing that there was something on it. What words are unfavorable to my master.

After a few breaths, Tian Youqing exhaled and smiled bitterly: "Although it was just a cursory glance, we can still see some clues. It is indeed an article about Wen Ran's exam papers and the vision of releasing the results. If I didn't know its origin, I would probably read it. I think this Qiu Yan is the prince’s disciple! This person’s understanding of the new law and the shortcomings of the imperial court is extremely profound!”

"So powerful?" Tian Qi was startled. He knew exactly what this evaluation meant.

"It's a pity that I didn't try to understand this person in advance, so I was too dismissive and rashly made enemies. If I knew this person's talent, I would never act like this. I hope there is still a chance to remedy it." Shaking his head, Tian Youqing regretted in his heart Feeling more and more interested, he had no choice but to put Qiu Yan's test paper aside and pick up the next one.

"Ye Yun, I have some impressions of this name. I didn't expect him to get second place," Tian Youqing said while looking at it, "Huh? This man is really lucky. What he wrote is the cliche of the old party. It’s a cliche, but the writing is brilliant. It must be a compromise between the two examiners, so he was ranked second. If the first place was not for someone like Qiu Yan, it wouldn’t be surprising to get a Huiyuan! "

Tian Qi didn't have the heart to think about this. He wanted to urge it, but he was afraid of disturbing Tian Youqing's mind.

His expression fell into Tian Youqing's eyes, causing the latter to shake his head secretly. In terms of anxiety, Tian Youqing is no less anxious than Tian Qi. But the more times like this, the more calm and cautious he must be, otherwise he will make the same mistake over and over again, which is unbearable. The most important thing now is to find an ideal "examination paper".

After thinking about it, he opened the third examination paper. This examination paper was written by Wen Zhizhen.

Looking at it, Tian Youqing's eyes lit up: "Good guy, no wonder Wen Zhizhen has become famous recently. This man is really scheming and resourceful. He has a deep understanding of the examiner's preferences and the court's trend. This The test paper is definitely carefully prepared and based on trying to figure out the examiner's thoughts. This person is not as talented as Qiu Yan, but this paper captures the core of the examination!"

As he spoke, he smiled, and the cold light in his eyes grew stronger.

Seeing this expression, Tian Qi felt relieved.
