"Xianggong Wang?" Qiu Yan's face was surprised, "But Xianggong Wang, who is in charge of the government and presides over the change of the law?"

"In addition to the black-faced man, can there be others?" Cao Hanqi saw Qiu Yan's expression, he smiled, a little proud, obviously because of his own news, which made Qiu Yan surprised and satisfied, "When I first learned about this news, I was also taken aback." ”

Qiu Yan glanced at everyone: "It is rumored that there will be some changes in this imperial examination, but at most it is speculated that it will be taken over by Cen Bo of the New Party, or Zhang Hou, or by a person of high moral and respect, but I didn't expect that it would be presided over by Wang Xianggong himself! Where did you hear this news?"

Cao Hanqi replied: "Coincidentally, yesterday I went to participate in the meeting, and met Zhang Lian Zhang Lao Xiangguo, who was present, and there was a little speculation at that time. ”

"Is it really Wang Xiangguo? In this case, this imperial examination is indeed not simple, and I am afraid that the direction of the wind is really going to change. As he spoke, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, glanced at Luo Jiayun and Zhou Guan, and noticed that both of them had a worried look on their faces.

High-rise buildings, seemingly high-rise, in fact, are closely related to the lives of the people, often a casual idea, into the governance program, through the ruling structure, layer by layer, to the ordinary people, will cause a huge impact, clothing, food, housing and transportation will fluctuate, some good and some bad.

In contrast, the group of scholars, while enjoying the benefits of the policies of the previous dynasties, is also surrounded by the wave of policy changes, not to mention the tendency of the imperial examination every year, which will reflect the trend of the imperial court policies of the year.

Imperial examinations, the ceremony. It is to select virtuous people for the country, and the people selected are to implement the policies of the country, if a different concept is selected, won't there be a lot of trouble?

Of course, in reality, there will always be compromises, but this means that many people will lose their opportunities.

Like Luo Jiayu and Zhou Guan, reading and writing on weekdays are actually targeted. Most of them refer to the content of previous imperial examinations, after all, everything is the same, grasp the general situation, and when you know the candidates for the examiner, you will strengthen them in a targeted manner.

But now, the old and new parties are competing in the temple, and the political views of the two sides are incompatible. There are huge differences, and it is not easy to answer the questions with the knowledge learned in the past.

In this case, of course, the two will be worried.

Cao Hanqi also noticed the expressions of the two. Then he said: "Brother Luo, Brother Zhou, don't worry, according to Wen Zhizhen's statement, this time the New Party will preside over the imperial examination." It may not be an opportunity, after all, how many of the candidates have studied the method advocated by the New Party? The New Party will certainly not dare to do anything about it, and besides, if it has learned the news in advance, won't it immediately stand out if it collects a lot of information about the New Party in the past few days and writes it down in the volume?"

Luo Jiayun shook his head: "Having said that, but if you make a temporary intention, there must always be an omission, in case Dong Shi follows the example and makes a four-way dislike, it will be a disaster, and even the original knowledge will not be able to be brought into play." ”

Zhou Guan showed a contemplative look, and then said: "However, many candidates actually have similar encounters, and I can't grasp the opportunity of the new law, and the same is true for others, it still depends on their own abilities, who can understand the new law proposition thoroughly in a short period of time, who can take the lead in the examination room." ”

That's exactly what happened. Cao Hanqi nodded.

In fact, after this news came out, many candidates were worried, and some of them were even more indignant, but the country has a law, if it is a trouble, if it is not accepted, can it force the court to take back its fame, and they will be repatriated first, and finally cheapen others, so that after being angry, the candidates began to consider the opportunities inside.

After saying this, Cao Hanqi looked at Qiu Yan and noticed that the latter was pondering, so he said, "Brother Qiu, I don't know what you have planned?"

Luo Jiayun listened to it, and it was even more strange.

"I'm thinking, why did Wang Xiangguo personally serve as the chief examiner, it stands to reason that the chief examiner should be locked in the Gongyuan a few days in advance to prevent the exam questions from being leaked. ”

The chief examiner and the same examiner, as well as many invigilators, before the exam, must enter the Tribute Academy a few days in advance, sometimes even half a month in advance, eat and live in it, and arrange the examination, this has always been the rule, even if it is the chief examiner, Wang Fu can not be an exception, but the national affairs are changing rapidly, the merchants in the city are faintly confrontational, and it is not easy to promulgate the new law.

Cao Hanqi and others also thought about this question, so they said: "Maybe it shows that Xiangguo attaches great importance to the imperial examination, and really wants to select a group of talents, in fact, it is also an opportunity for me to wait, once I am in high school, I will be a protégé!"

Officialdom pays attention to personal connections, fellow villagers, the same year, teachers and students, are strong potential relationships, and are the foundation of the party's unity and difference in the future.

When the words fell, Xu Wanren said loudly: "But it has also been labeled as a new party, if you don't express your political views in the future, you will inevitably be attacked by the old party, which is equivalent to stepping into the party struggle as soon as you hit the list, and you will be shocked step by step in the future." ”

"That's not right, now that the old and the new are contending, inside and outside the DPRK, how many people can escape from the party struggle?" Yu Xun shook his head, "Besides, being able to be a jinshi is already a blessing to invite heaven, so why bother thinking about so much?" The implication is that whether you can be admitted or not, it is two words, after all, it is a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops.

Hai Ming also said: "In fact, Wang Xiangguo personally came forward to preside over the imperial examination, which can be regarded as attaching importance to the selection of scholars, and it also shows that the new party is in a predicament now, there are not many talents, no matter which one it is, if we can seize the opportunity, we may take advantage of the situation!"

The words of several of them showed the thoughts of many candidates, and what was presented in front of Qiu Yan was just a microcosm.

Luo Jiayun said in the end: "In any case, the key is yourself." ”

Cao Hanqi wanted to argue again, but after glancing at Qiu Yan, he stopped the words that were about to blurt out, and changed his words: "Don't say much about this, I'll wait for this time to come over, mainly to say hello to Brother Qiu. ”

Immediately afterwards, he told the story of yesterday's meeting.

"It can be seen that Zhang Lao Xiangguo has a good impression of Brother Qiu. As he spoke, he suddenly said, "By the way, does Brother Qiu recognize a person named Qi Jiulian?"

"Qi Jiulian?" Qiu Yanming was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "I know this person, why would you mention him?"

"Do you really recognize?" Cao Hanqi was slightly surprised, "This Qi Jiulian said that you once gave him some experience, as if you were your disciple, and even fought with that Wen Zhizhen for you, and agreed on the matter of the imperial examination, but there are quite mistakes and omissions in the words, I am worried that the person is borrowing your name and acting on his own initiative, so he has this question." ”

"My disciple?" Qiu Yan shook his head as he recalled the scene when he met Qi Jiulian, "This person will definitely not bend down. ”

Although he and Qi Jiulian did not directly confront each other, they also talked about their superiority, but Qi Jiulian was not willing to admit defeat, how could such a person regard himself as his disciple?

In fact, at the literary meeting yesterday, Qi Jiulian just wanted to find a step to go down, if he knew the opinions of Cao Hanqi and others, he would be angry and cry out for wrongdoing.

"The inside story of this is not something that we can know the truth. Seeing Qiu Yan's response, Cao Hanqi didn't say much, but instead asked for some academic doubts.

Next to them, Luo Jiayun and Zhou Guan heard about the events of the Wenhui for the first time, and they couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a little unbelievable about Qiu Yanren's unarrived and famous things, and at the end, they had to sigh with emotion, "This person's reputation, once it reaches a certain level, it is really a person who does not move and spreads his fame for thousands of miles." ”

As he spoke, Cao Hanqi and the others were obviously out of energy, Qiu Yan saw that a few people came over, and it was fake to ask for advice, and the friendship was true, so he agreed to drink at the right time two days after tomorrow, so he sent a few people away.

After coming back, Luo Jiayun also said goodbye: "I'm waiting here to inform you about the examiner, and it's time to go back and sort out the books to deal with the changes in the imperial examination." ”

"That's fine. Qiu Yan did not stop him, and sent the two out again, looking at the distant figures of the two, he stared at it, and noticed that the luck of Luo Zhou and the two was still connected to a certain existence as before, but there were not much fluctuations and changes.

"Although I don't know the purpose of the person behind it, it seems that there is no big problem in a short period of time, the imperial examination is imminent, and it is not easy to make extraneous branches, otherwise it may affect the future of the two, so I can only wait and see what happens for the time being, if there are signs of something wrong, I must take action immediately, but even if that person can really conceal the means, he should not be able to do it in the tribute courtyard, otherwise, there is no need to hide it at all. ”

Gongyuan is a place where humanities gather, and it entrusts the wishes of scholars from all over Darui, and if it can fight its Chinese Dao, Kenben can directly crush the capital without resorting to ghost tricks.

Thinking like this, Qiu Yan closed the door, walked back to the table, took out the book, and swept his gaze casually outside the window, noticing a few figures.

"I was famous last night, and it has an impact today, although no one came to the door, but there are a lot more people watching outside, and he will go. ”

Shaking his head, Qiu Yan's mind fell on the book and read in a low voice.

The daylight flows, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, at the beginning of February, it is finally the time of the examination, before dawn, many candidates have taken action, Qiu Yan also carried the test blue, under the escort of Hu Qi and Dai Guo, to the Gongyuan.
