King Wuqiu Shouwang felt that Zhang Yuan was too confident at this time.

But after a few years of getting along, he felt that Zhang Yuan's self-confidence did not come out of thin air.

He had just relaxed from the tension when his eyelids suddenly jumped again, and he always felt that something big would happen later.

Zhang Yuan was too lazy to take care of the imperial history, looked up at the sky, and found that the sun was almost overhead, and it was already noon.

We'll be able to see the effect of what I've arranged later.

"Okay, since everyone said so, and Yushi said so, then what else can I do?

If you can prove your innocence, then I, Zhang Yuan, will let you all enroll, and I will not blame you for slandering me before.

If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I will have no complaints. ”

Wang Qing is now very satisfied with Zhang Yuan's attitude, for fear of making any more moths.

"Taixue Ling, the student now asks that the palace guards guard the side hall and no one is allowed to approach it.

Then invite a few imperial historians to Jianzhang Palace and ask His Majesty for a will.

Only in this way can we reassure everyone, otherwise we will have to destroy those exam papers, and we will have no choice. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Pass my order, send fifty palace guards to surround the side hall, and no one will be allowed to approach.

A few imperial historians will ride to Jianzhang Palace now to ask for His Majesty's will, and then I will not interfere again.

I also want to clear my suspicions, and if the results are re-judged, it will just prove that I have not changed my grades, which is also good for me.

Therefore, please hold your temper and wait here for an hour or two more, and wait until the imperial historian invites His Majesty's will. ”

No one objected to Zhang Yuan's suggestion this time, so except for a few imperial historians who left, and then fifty palace guards were transferred, everyone else stayed in place.

"Go to the front hall and get a chair for me, I'm a little tired after standing for so long."

Zhang Yuan said to Yan Yi.

Yan Yi's eyes widened, he really admired Zhang Yuan's strong heart now, and he still paid attention to enjoyment.

"Yes, the student will help you get a chair."

After speaking, Yan Yi ran to the front hall and brought a chair to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan didn't care about all the strange looks of the people around him, just sat on the chair, and then found the book from somewhere, opened it and covered his face.

After a while, there was a slight snoring.

This is asleep!!

"Taixue Ling, this is taking a nap here?"

A handful of examinees at the bottom of the stairs whispered.

"Just let him sleep, maybe he won't be able to get up next time he sleeps."

"Yes, when today's son is the Eternal Saint Monarch, he will definitely not tolerate this kind of person to continue to do evil."

"Alright, let's stop talking about this soon-to-be-finished man.

That Wang Qing was really smart just now, everyone didn't expect it, but he thought of it alone. ”

"Hehe, I thought about it too, I just don't want to be in the limelight.

For better or worse, those who come out on top are bound to suffer. ”

"Well, even if Zhang Yuan can't continue to be a Taixue Ling, you have to know that he still has a brother.

is too servant Wei Qing, Zhang Yuan is finished, won't Wei Qing avenge his brother?

At that time, what will Wang Qing do to resist the anger of a Jiuqing? ”

"It's because of Wei Qing that I don't dare to stand up like Wang Qing, I see, Wang Qing and Zhang Yuan are about to end.

We'll just wait and see what happens to these two. ”

The voices of the candidates talking about Wang Qing were naturally heard by Wang Qing.

He is now estimated to be the most aggrieved among the thousands of people present, obviously fighting for the rights and interests of all the candidates, but it has become a limelight in the mouths of these people.

And a large part of the people are still cursing him, thinking that he will not end well.

Suddenly, he knew a little bit about Zhang Yuan's feelings.

Earlier, wasn't Zhang Yuan just overwhelmed by these people's rumors.

But Zhang Yuan is asleep now, compared to his psychological quality, Wang Qing now feels that he is not as good as Zhang Yuan.

Slowly, more than half an hour of waiting time has passed, and everyone estimates that the imperial history who went to Jianzhang Palace has already talked to Liu Che, and his heart is more stable.

But it didn't take long for a puff of smoke to suddenly rise from the side hall on the left.

At first, no one noticed, and everyone thought it was cooking.

During this time period, there was more cooking smoke in Du County.

But as the smoke got bigger and bigger, some palace guards who were originally guarding the side hall ran to the front hall, and many people felt that something was wrong.

"It's too much of a school order, it's not good, something big has happened, and the side hall is on fire!"

Zhang Yuan was still sleeping, and the palace guard who ran over didn't wake Zhang Yuan up after shouting.

However, many people heard the shouts of the palace guards, and the candidates below were originally very calm, but now they are panicking again.

These hours are as exciting as riding a roller coaster.

King Wuqiu Shou couldn't care too much at this time, and directly pushed Zhang Yuan's arm, almost pushing Zhang Yuan off the chair.

The book covering Zhang Yuan's face fell to the ground at once, and Zhang Yuan opened his eyes in a daze and looked at King Wuqiu Shou.

"What's the matter? Goshi has brought back His Majesty's will? ”

Wuqiu Shouwang looked at Zhang Yuan's current appearance, and directly determined from the bottom of his heart that the fire in the side hall had absolutely nothing to do with Zhang Yuan, and he said that Zhang Yuan was so confident before.

Now it seems that although there are a large number of these candidates, the IQ of so many people does not add up to one plus one equals two or is greater than two, and the IQ of such a group of people adds up to a negative number compared with Zhang Yuanyi.

"It's too much of a school order, something big happened, and the side hall is on fire."

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan jumped up from the chair at once.

Pick up the book and slap it directly on the head of King Wuqiu Shou.

"Made, what's the use of raising you officials, are they all waste?

It's all on fire and waiting to ask my opinion?

Are you all still standing here?

It's all special to get out of the fire for Lao Tzu!! ”

King Wuqiu Shou rubbed his head, and then looked at Zhang Yuan's thunderous appearance, and his heart began to be uncertain again.

But now is not the time to think about these things, he hurriedly ordered people to go to the side hall to put out the fire.

"Why are you stunned, everyone goes to put out the fire, and they all take buckets and go to the lake to scoop water!"

Earlier, in order to enrich the landscape of Taixue, and also to facilitate the use of water, Zhang Yuan asked people to dig a canal directly from Chanshui and introduce it directly into the city.

Therefore, there are several artificial lakes in Taixue, and Zhang Yuan usually drinks cold boiled water after these living waters are boiled.

He has always had a trace of mustard for the well water and groundwater in Chang'an City.

It is said that the reason why some later dynasties did not regard Chang'an as their capital was that Chang'an's groundwater could not be drunk, and this groundwater had long been polluted by people's feces and urine.

So no matter where Zhang Yuan goes, as long as he lives for a long time, he will definitely get some living water to use.

Now it seems that these water resources are just right to fight the fire, otherwise when water is drawn from the well, then wait for half of Du County to be burned down.

For the sake of their own future, those candidates are now going forward one after another, rushing faster than anything else.

Zhang Yuan also looked very nervous, and rushed directly to the scene of the fire.

Because the bamboo slips are hoarded in the side hall, now that it is on fire, the fire must be getting stronger and stronger.

At least a third of the places were on fire.

Wang Qing, a candidate who came before before, did not go to fetch water to fight the fire like everyone else, but secretly ran to Zhang Yuan's side.

"Too much of a school order."

Zhang Yuanzheng was directing others to put out the fire, and suddenly heard someone shouting to him, so he looked back and found that it was Wang Qing.

"Oh? What are you doing here instead of fetching water and putting out the fire? ”

"There are thousands of people in Taixue, and there are many students, not many students, and many students."

"I have to talk about you, you can't think like this, you have to be the same as before, I understand for everyone?"

Wang Qing's face was remorseful, he had long regretted it.

In the past half an hour, he has already figured it out, and being in the company of those people who only know how to go with the flow can only lower his own level.

"The student was a little impulsive before, and now the student just wants to ask Tai Xueling a word."

Zhang Yuan must know what Wang Qing wants to ask, is this unclear.

"Just ask."

"Could this fire have something to do with the Taixue Order?"

Zhang Yuan looked left and right, and found that everyone's energy was focused on the fire, and no one noticed him, so he lowered his head and said to Wang Qing.

"Cutting the ice to make the circle, lifting it to the sun, and bearing its shadow with Ai, the fire is born."

Wang Qing's frowning look told Zhang Yuan that he didn't understand this meaning at all.

There must be people in the world who understand this sentence, and this sentence is taken from the "Huainan Wanbi Technique" by Liu An, the king of Huainan.

However, Liu An is a Taoist, how can Wang Qing, a Confucian person, understand this principle.

Zhang Yuan only needs to let Wang Qing know that this fire started because of Zhang Yuan.

The self-confidence that Wang Qing had built up before also collapsed with Zhang Yuan's words.

After all, it was spring, and the water source was so close that within half an hour, the fire was under control and did not spread to other buildings.

In the next hour, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the fire was finally extinguished.

But almost all of those bamboo slip papers have become charcoal.

Some people may say that thousands of people can't extinguish a fire in a short time.

There are thousands of people, and how many more buckets can there be?

There are more than 100 buckets of Taixue, and it will take time to find a bucket.

After dragging on for so long, the imperial history who went to ask Liu Che's will also returned, but he looked at the side hall in front of him that was close to half-destruction, and he didn't know whether to say Liu Che's meaning or not.

"Taixue Ling, Your Majesty said that if the exam papers are sealed, he will send someone from the Imperial Doctor's Mansion to re-correct them, but now?"

This imperial history didn't want to impeach Zhang Yuan, and asked Zhang Yuan's meaning kindly.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment, and then replied.

"I'm going to Chang'an City and tell Your Majesty what happened."

"It's too hard to learn."

Next, Liu Che was angry at Zhang Yuan, so these royal historians breathed a big sigh of relief.

"Taixuecheng, come over here."

King Wuqiu Shou honestly stood by Zhang Yuan's side this time.

This man is bold, and he has no last resort, so it's better to be honest.

"What do you have to say?"

"My order has been issued before, but Wang Qing proposed a way, everyone originally hoped to clear the misunderstanding, but now the misunderstanding can't be resolved.

In order to preserve the majesty of Taixue, I will do what I said before, Taixue will not recruit any candidates this year, and this batch of candidates will never be hired in the future. ”

"Xia Guan knows what to do, so Wang Qing, what do you think should be done?"

"Hang him for a day, and when I come back from Chang'an City tomorrow, if he is willing to follow me, I will take him as an apprentice, and if I don't want to, forget it."

King Wuqiu Shou looked up at Zhang Yuan, and planned to come back from Chang'an City?

The Son of Heaven was angry and died, what is the death of a Taixue order.

However, King Wuqiu Shou only dared to complain about Zhang Yuan in his heart.

"Xia Guan knows."

"Okay, prepare the horse, I'll go to Chang'an City to explain to Your Majesty.

Hey, it's really hard to be too learned, it's obviously caused by your subordinates, and now I'm going to wipe your ass.

At the beginning, when Zhu Dan committed suicide, he told me about it, wouldn't there be so much trouble today. ”

King Wuqiu Shou didn't dare to talk back, so he could only bow his head and wait for Zhang to go away.
