Chapter 206: Rumors Spread

The Great Qi Dynasty's examination was the same as the previous Northern Song Dynasty at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty (the latest chapter of the Infinite World Lord God). After Huang Yuandu's reform, it is now divided into four categories, namely classics, policy theory, historical theory, and poetry. The scriptures are naturally the six classics, that is, the chapters and sentences in the scriptures are taken as the questions, and the candidates are asked to answer. Historical theory and policy theory, that is, a historical question and a practical policy question are put forward respectively, and the candidate's practical problem-solving ability (long-distance traveler) is examined. As for poetry, it can be regarded as a supplement, and it is a test of literary talent.

For the four examinations, the examiner divides them into four grades, A, B, C, D, and each grade is divided into upper, middle and lower grades. After sealing the paper, put the candidate's four copies together and consider them comprehensively. Since Huang Yuandu pays attention to science, the position of "scripture" in the examination paper is the first place, and it must be explained from the point of view of science, which is also the most important basis for ranking. If the "classics" of the two candidates have obtained the "first grade", then it depends on the results of the policy theory, which is historical theory and poetry in order. If it happens that the two of them have the same results in these four subjects, then it depends on the attitude of the examiner, and it is generally handed over to Hou Wenxian, the pacification envoy of Shandong Road, for ruling. Of course, this is basically not the case.

In the examination of Shandong Road in the eighth year of Zhengyuan, the question of "Jing" was extraordinarily long, which came from the "Book of Rites", which was the famous "Datong Chapter" in later generations. Song Zheng sat in the examination room, pondered for a while, and then began to write hard, "Datong, Li Yi is also ......"

…………

When Song Zheng was concentrating on participating in the literary competition, a "rumor" quietly spread in Licheng.

In the north of Licheng, Shandong Pass garrison camp.

After an hour and a half of drill, the sergeants sat down on the ground and began to enjoy a rare moment of rest.

"Hey, second brother, do you know, on the seventh night of the ninth lunar month, there was a fight at the Sihua Inn, and I heard that hundreds of people died?" Among the sergeants, a thin-faced guy was whispering information to the others.

"I've heard that it's the Big Bug Gang and Little Tarzan's people who are fighting there, and it seems that they haven't died so much? These guys, if you have the strength to join the army, how good is it to kill the golden barbarians? A black-faced young man wiped beads of sweat and said disappreciatively.

"Gangster fire? That's a bluff by the government. Actually......" The man looked around and said in a low voice, "I heard that a gang of robbers from Dajin came to Daqi and stayed at the Sihua Inn. Go out in the middle of the night to steal property, kill people and set fires. ”

"You kid is talking nonsense, Dajin's thieves can sneak into our Daqi, they are not afraid of being slaughtered?"

"Second brother, when did I lie to you? It's true (the latest chapter of the beautiful girl Taoist). As you know, yesterday's Chung Yeung Festival, we took a break, and I went home. At noon, a few people asked me to go to Chunhelou for dinner, and I heard a group of guys eating next door shouting. ”

"Do you believe what you hear in the restaurant?"

"It's no wonder we don't believe it, that guy has eyebrows and eyes when he says it. It is said that after those barbarians finished grabbing things, they set a fire to them and destroyed their corpses. That night, several houses around the Sihua Inn caught fire. Some people in the rivers and lakes couldn't stand it anymore, so they got together to make a move. Who knew that those barbarians were particularly powerful, and many people died on both sides, and in the end, the leader of the barbarians set a fire and burned the corpses. Then he hid again, looking for an opportunity to commit another crime. Second brother, think about it, what kind of place is the Four Modernizations Inn? It was opened by a general in the Licheng garrison camp, how dare the gangsters make trouble there. Besides, have you ever seen a gang fire and hundreds of people die at once? ”

"Really? These big gold thieves who should be killed simply don't put us in their eyes. ”

"It's just that I'm so angry. But the official notice insisted that it was a gang fire, and the big bug gang was wiped out in the past two days, and even the gang leader Jade Big Worm was caught. I also heard that the Jade Worm was the one who organized the encirclement and suppression of the Dajin thieves this time. ”

"I've also heard that this jade worm is a man. It's too chilling for the government to do this. ”

…………

Licheng Martial Academy, the stronghold of the Imperial City Division, Li Hongniang's face sank like water.

"What's going on? How is it that only two days later, the streets are full of rumors of big gold thieves? ”

A team leader of the Imperial City Division of Licheng replied tremblingly, "We also secretly arrested a few people and asked them where they got the news. Some say it's from a wine shop, some say it's a teahouse, and some say it's from a bookstore. Judging from the source, they are all places where the people are relatively concentrated. ”

Li Hongniang was silent, this move is high, she had already hidden Wanyan Yusheng and the other three in an extremely secret place, but now the other party actually knows how to use this method to exert pressure (copy the latest chapter of the overlord). If it was directly said that Yan Yu was born with Dajin and met with Xiao Jun, people would not believe it, so they made up rumors about Dajin thieves. This is clearly an attempt to exert pressure on the military and the government to intensify internal searches and externally tighten the defensive line along the Yellow River. It is too poisonous to make Yan Yusheng have nowhere to hide, and he can't safely cross the Yellow River to the north.

The meeting between Xiao Hui and Wanyan Yusheng is extremely secret in the territory of Daqi. It can be said that almost no one knows about it except for the head of the Imperial City Division and the Dark Eagle. Li Hongniang's upper peak, that is, Duan Blade, the deputy capital of the Imperial City Division, once planned to hide Wan Yan Yusheng and others in official goods and transport them to the official field between Jinqi and Qi north of the Yellow River. The gods unknowingly sent the three of them back.

Now that rumors are rampant, the interrogation will be extremely severe, and I am afraid it will be difficult to confuse the past. If Wan Yan Yusheng can't return to Dajin for a long time, in case Wan Yan Yong dies, how can Wan Yan Yusheng compete for the throne?

Do you want to let Xiao Hui arrange Qiao Zhenchuan, the governor of Shandong Guan, to do this? I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Although Qiao Zhenchuan was promoted by Xiao Hui, he is upright and a well-known main battle faction, how can he be persuaded in a short time? Besides, until the situation is clear, Xiao Hui will not let the governors and generals under his command know about it.

What to do? If this matter has not been decided, I am not afraid to be reprimanded by the juniper, the key is that it will delay the big event!

Thinking of this, Li Hongniang's brain sweated. She thought of the news that Song Zheng asked Hu Qiang to send, "Huang Gongzi visited Cong Kui on the Double Ninth Festival, and Wulongtan chased his daughter with sinister intentions", just one sentence made Li Hongniang a little surprised, and now there are all kinds of rumors, how can this be good?

Li Hongniang couldn't sit still, she got up and walked out of the stronghold, out of the martial arts courtyard, and walked down the mountain. A quarter of an hour later, she entered a small civilian compound.

…………

"It's a good idea!" Duan Jian sat on the chair, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Duan Blade is in his fifties, has big ears, and has a kind face (the latest chapter of who Yu Zhengfeng). Walking down the street, people would only think that he was a rich man, and no one would think that he was one of the two deputy commanders who actually controlled the Imperial City Division.

The two big men, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Xun, stood behind him. Both of them are from the royal family, although they are side branches, but after all, they are surnamed "逄", however, these two top masters are willing to obey Duan Blade's orders, which can also be seen Duan Blade's extraordinary. Of course, it was precisely because of this surname that Duan Jian did not send him to participate in the battle of the Four Transformations Inn.

"Lord Totong, as soon as the rumors come out, tomorrow the government will definitely send additional people to inspect the city in order to settle the hearts of the people. Governor Joe's side may also make a move! Li Hongniang stood in the hall with an anxious look on her face.

Duan Jian nodded, "No need for tomorrow." Before you came, I just got the news that Qiao Zhenchuan had issued a secret order to step up patrols at the Yellow River Pass in the north, regardless of official goods, smuggling channels, and the monks' roads on the traveling side, to prevent crossing the river. The strategy we discussed is no longer useful. ”

"Moving so fast? Didn't the rumors just spread in the past two days? ”

"I don't know how Qiao Zhenchuan found out, but Cong Kui visited Qiao Zhenchuan early this morning, and at noon, he had this order."

"Cong Kui?" Li Hongniang exclaimed.

"What? What does the matchmaker think is wrong? Duan Jian stared at her and asked.

"Song Zheng sent news last night, saying that Huang Song visited Cong Kui during the Double Ninth Festival, and also went to Wulongtan to pursue Cong Kui's daughter."

"Is there such a thing?" Duan Jian stood up suddenly and paced back and forth a few steps, "Qiao Zhenchuan won't know that Yan Yusheng came from Licheng?" ”

"I don't know yet. However, if he really knew about this, he would definitely ask the prince when he came tomorrow. ”

"Everything is still undecided, how will the prince explain this matter to him! Once it is not handled well, it will definitely be separated from the prince (the latest chapter of love beyond time and space). Duan Jian was also a little anxious, and his steps were faster.

"Lord Dutong doesn't have to worry so much, if the prince convinces Governor Qiao, won't everything be solved?"

"How could it be so easy! The prince has always advocated resolute resistance to gold, and now he is actually talking secretly with Wanyan Yusheng, what does this make Qiao Zhenchuan, the old stubborn donkey, think? Besides, even if Qiao Zhenchuan promised to let Yan Yusheng return to the north after releasing him, he had already issued a secret order, and Cong Kui would definitely take advantage of the topic to play and treat the Yellow River Pass to death. ”

The two thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of a suitable solution. The most important thing is that both of them are a little flustered, in case this matter is messed up, no one can be worthy of the anger of the juniper, and it is very likely that they will not even be able to keep their heads.

Just defeated Huang Yuandu's killer and won a beautiful battle. However, as Huang Song made two moves in a row, wooed Cong Kui, and spread rumors, the two were forced into such a situation. Whether the east wind overpowers the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind, no one can say.

The two sat quietly for another half an hour, and Xiao Zhen behind him suddenly said, "Lord Dutong, then Song Xiaolang's performance this time is extremely extraordinary, and he found out about Huang Song's collusion with Cong Kui, why don't you ask him about countermeasures?" ”

"This kid has good skills, and his brain is good, but now it is involved in political fighting, not fighting, how can he know what political fighting is as a child? How can you have the ability to solve such a thing! Duan Jian shook his head.

Li Hongniang's eyes lit up, "Lord Dutong, with his secret report that Huang Song colluded with Cong Kui, it shows how high his vigilance is." Anyway, he knows everything about Yan Yusheng, let's go and ask about it, and there is nothing to lose! ”

Duan Jian looked at Li Hongniang, "You praised that child as a flower." If it weren't for his participation in any martial arts competitions and literary competitions, I would have wanted to meet him. Let's just let him come for a trip. ”

Li Hongniang nodded, turned around and went out.

Looking at her back, Duan Jian shook his head with a wry smile, "The old man actually asked a child to ask for a plan, it's really old." ”
