Chapter 145: Is it providence or man-made?
Zhuang Yan picked up the pen again with a smile, turned his wrist, and put down the pen like a god.
Xu Cheng praised on the side: "The emperor's pen is wonderful." β
Zhuang Yan smiled even more, "This is just the beginning of the pen, I have carefully prepared, but it is still behind, open your eyes and take a look." β
Xu Cheng smacked his face, and said with a blessing: "The emperor is shengming, the slave will wait and see." β

As far as Yangshan Academy is concerned, the most talked-about news today is Qiu Ji's enrollment, as the son of Shoufu, he is already a figure who has attracted much attention, not to mention that this time he is still a meritorious return, Lou Qu has already spoken, and the head of the first hall of the apprentice is none other than Qiu Ji.
As soon as he came out of the Wenshu Pavilion, Wei Za noticed the attention from several directions, although his son-in-law did have a good identity, but he was stared at like this, and he was also very uncomfortable, so he said: "Young master, the little one has already inquired, Miss Yao stays in the Jingshu Pavilion during the lunch break, it is quiet and a good place." β
Qiu Ji glanced at him, raised his chin forward, Wei Za understood, and led the way in front with a smile, but fortunately, although the students here were curious, they didn't follow all the way.
Yao Yan flipped through the book intentionally or unintentionally, Qiu Zhan glanced at her several times before she was worried: "Sister Yao, do you think the content of those pages is too obscure? Why don't I read -----it?"
Xin Xiran was already bored with reading, and when he heard this, he glanced at Qiu Zhan: "It's just that you, the head of a wooden fish, can say such things, Sister Yao has something on her mind at a glance, what is obscure, it is really enough for you." β
"Ah?---- that's my stupidity, what's on Sister Yao's mind?" Qiu Zhan laughed embarrassedly.
"It's all said that it's a matter of your heart, and you still ask?!" Xin Xiran glanced at him again, holding his cheeks and worried: "Just like you, it's not easy to grow so big, how can you live in the future." β
Qiu Zhan immediately patted his chest: "After successfully finishing three years, I will be promoted in the examination, and I will find a private school to make a living." β
Yao Xian smiled, this ambition is the same as her, Xin Xiran is a master who likes to hurt people, she is afraid that he will be endless, so she stopped him: "You have the most words here, it is better for you to go over there and throw pots than to sit here." β
Yang Meng closed the book, "I'm going to find two books, you're bored, come and help me find them." β
Xin Xiran didn't want to sit for a long time, so he immediately jumped up: "Let's go, what books are you looking for?"
Wei Zazheng saw that Luo Meng and Xin Xiran had left their seats, and secretly said yes, stepped forward and smiled: "Miss Yao, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Yao Yan dropped the book in his hand in shock, and when he looked back, he saw Qiu Ji standing quietly not far behind her, her eyebrows bent, and she got up and walked over: "I only returned to the city yesterday, and I also said that you will rest for a few days and come back, have you been to Wenshu Pavilion?"
"I just went to the school in the afternoon. Qiu Ji said softly.
Wei Za, who was automatically ignored, took two deep breaths, sat down next to Qiu Zhan, patted the latter's shoulder and said, "My young master and Miss Yao have reunited after a long absence, if you have anything to say, just ask me, don't bother them." β
Qiu Zhan couldn't close his mouth in shock, and was stunned for a while before he asked in a low voice, "Is this the young master of the Qiu family?"
Wei Za looked him up and down, and asked curiously: "Go out and come back, why is there another person by Miss Yao's side?" No matter who you are, I will always be kind enough to advise, you are dead, you are not comparable to our young master." β
Qiu Zhan's brain turned faster, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not what you think, little brother, Sister Yao and I are sworn brothers and sisters, and the four of us are now righteous brothers and sisters, little brother, you think too much." β
"Little brother----" Wei Za was very useful to this title, and climbed Qiu Zhan's shoulder and smiled: "Look at your weak appearance, you have been bullied, I had better fight against injustice, if there is any difficulty in the future, just tell me, I will stand up for you." β
Qiu Zhan gratefully arched his hand: "Little brother is chivalrous, Qiu Zhan thanked him first." β
Wei Za said silently, and a pair of eyes stared straight at Qiu Zhan, "It's easy to say, my name is Wei Za." β
"It turned out to be Brother Wei. Qiu Zhan gave a blessing, Wei Za returned the salute again, and dragged Qiu Zhan to another place, "You and I have just met, there are many things to understand, let's go to a secluded place and let's talk." β
Qiu Zhan didn't know why, so he didn't forget to take the book he was reading before leaving.
Yao Xi had too many interesting things to tell Qiu Ji, and too many things to ask, but he didn't know where to start, so he smiled awkwardly: "Why don't you sit down and talk?"
The two of them sat down, and Yao Xi found that there was no one around, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and unconsciously straightened his hair that was tied up high.
"You're really a bit heroic in this dress. Qiu Ji smiled as if he remembered something.
Yao Yan smiled embarrassedly: "The academy is full of hair, and this costume is also a man's dress, so I will dress up like this, and the hair in the province is messy by the wind---- right, this encirclement and suppression is still smooth?"
"The three leaders were taken away by the Righteous March. β
Yao raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had misheard: "Robbed?"
Qiu Ji told the ins and outs of the matter, and it took Yao Yan a while to digest it, "Even if they come prepared, it will inevitably be too smooth, how could they catch Jingzhao Mansion so off guard?"
She had been to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, where the terrain was intricate and heavily guarded, and it stands to reason that no matter how powerful the rebel army was, it would be impossible not to leave a single soldier.
Yao Yan suddenly thought of another question, since Qiu Ji had returned to the academy, the crime of dereliction of duty had nothing to do with him, who else could the convicted person be besides Mu Bai, who would be demoted at least or removed from the official rank, but Zhuang Yan was such a person who was easy to stop? You must know that Mu Bai was Qiu Wanao's protΓ©gΓ©.
She said tentatively: "The responsibility this time is mainly on Jing Zhaoyin, the crime of dereliction of duty is not small, and he may not be able to sleep in peace now." β
Qiu Ji nodded: "I have been dismissed from my official position and sent to Nancheng to live for a long time." β
"Nursing -----" Yao Yan couldn't cry or laugh: "That Mubai doesn't look like it's just a year old, and I'm afraid I'll have to get sick this year." "Once one person is dismissed, someone will naturally take the position."
"Have you heard of Liao Weizhang?"
Yao Yan shook his head.
Qiu Ji said again: "This person is quite famous in Ganyang, and the emperor nominated him to replace Jing Zhaoyin. β
Isn't this equivalent to cutting off one of Qiu Wanao's fingers, Jing Zhaoyin is the parent official of the capital to put it bluntly, Zhuang Yan is now going to Mubai to replace him with someone he trusts, and in the future, he will no longer be able to hide the big and small matters in the capital.
Yao Yan secretly glanced at Qiu Ji, but he couldn't see anything on his face, so naturally he couldn't guess what he thought about this matter.
"The emperor is no longer the child who was at the mercy of others. Qiu Ji said suddenly.
Yao Yan nodded approvingly: "Let Shoufu choose between you and Jing Zhaoyin, he expected that Mu Bai would become an outcast, and Liao Weizhang would be a logical -----" She suddenly paused, and looked at Qiu Ji in dismay: "Could it be -----"
Qiu Ji looked at her and smiled, "It seems that you have also guessed that the wings -----of the chicks will be hard after all." β
Yao Xian's mind appeared with that smiling face again, and she only felt a chill down her spine, and she now clearly knew what kind of person she was facing.
Zhuang Yan had already chosen a new Jing Zhao Yin, he had calculated Mu Bai's dereliction of duty, and even calculated that he would use Qiu Ji to compromise Qiu Wanao, and give up more than 20 rebels in exchange for his trusted Jing Zhao Yin, and he was taking back his things inch by inch.
