The examination lasted for three days.

Three days later, Guo Shilang held a list and thousands of volumes, and entered the imperial study in a hurry.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......"

"This time, we have recruited nearly 1,000 talented people from all over the world, which is really the luck of Your Majesty and the luck of Dayan."

Thousands of volumes were respectfully placed in front of Yang Qi by Guo Shilang, and the auspicious words came as soon as he opened his mouth.

's flattering appearance is more like a eunuch than Chen Lin.

If Yang Qi came to the sentence 'The world's talents have entered my urn' at this moment, Guo Shilang would probably be able to laugh even more flatteringly.

Under Guo Shilang's kind reminder, Yang Qixian opened the admission list that recorded the entrance examination.

He glanced at it and saw Jiang Chao's name.

Because of Jiang Chao's name, it was ranked in the top ten.

Yang Qi smiled knowingly, put down the list, and looked at the rolls on the table again.

About an hour later.

Yang Qizai put down the scroll and smiled at Guo Shilang: "Not bad......"

Guo Shilang was as happy as eating honey.

"That's what a minister should do."

Guo Shilang reported to Yang Qi some details of the palace examination the day after tomorrow.

Then he exited the Imperial Study.

As soon as Guo Shilang left, the smirk on Yang Qi's face disappeared instantly, and he casually pulled out Jiang Chao's roll and threw it to Peng Pai, who was standing aside.

"Look at ......"

Peng Pai took Jiang Chao's volume, read it carefully, and said in amazement: "Your Majesty, this article is a rare masterpiece with new intentions. Are you going to bring Jiang Chao with you? ”

Yang Qi glanced at him and said, "Bring a fart, this article was not written by him at all." ”

"Huh?"

"Ahhhhh Although his articles have merits, they lack a few copies of the pen, and they are full of articles, only three or five sentences about business, and the rest are mostly sycophants.

If you look at this article again, the writing is old and spicy, the pen is pointing, and it hits the point, and the whole article is up and down, and you can't see any superfluous places.

Jiang Chao's articles are not comparable to him.

This is clearly ghostwritten. ”

Peng Pai looked stunned, "You mean that Guo Shilang not only accepted bribes, but he also ghostwrote for the candidates?" ”

Yang Qi sneered: "It's not that I look down on Guo Shilang, even if I let him go back to study for another ten years, he may not have this pen power." He must have found someone to help Jiang Chao ghostwrite, or even find someone to help Jiang Chao take the exam. ”

Peng Pai was dumbfounded, "In this way, wouldn't the imperial examination become a child's play?" ”

Yang Qi sneered: "Yes! The imperial examination has been made child's play by them. This is the reason why I am determined to abolish the imperial examinations. The day after tomorrow is the palace test, but I want to see what tricks he can play. ”

"Also, you go and check it out to see who is behind it. With such a literary style, if you throw it into the hall of Yenching University to be trained, it is also a usable talent.

However, this person helped Guo Shilang to help the abuse, and he owed a lesson, and after finding someone, he would teach him a lesson first. ”

"喏~"

After Peng Pai received the order, he went down and sent someone to find this person.

In just half a day, Peng Pai found someone to help Jiang Chao ghostwrite.

A middle-aged man in his forties, with white temples, thin and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow, wearing a cloth robe and a long shirt, looking ordinary.

When Peng Pai brought him into the palace, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not have the slightest hint of panic.

After seeing Yang Qi, he subconsciously wanted to bow and bow, his legs were bent halfway, as if he remembered something, so he straightened his legs, slowly bowed and said, "King Yanling of the Mountain and Wild Grass People See Your Majesty." ”

"Wang Yanling?"

Yang Qi always felt that this name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

When he saw this person for the first time, seeing him ordinary, Yang Qi suddenly lost interest, if it weren't for the fact that he was a common man, and if he was not humble or arrogant when he saw Yang Qi, he didn't have the heart to worry about Yang Qi talking to him.

"Are you guilty?"

Yang Qi stared at Wang Yanling and asked in a cold voice.

Wang Yanling bowed slightly, and said indifferently: "The grass people are guilty." ”

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are guilty, if I treat you immediately, can you accept it?" ”

"The grass people are convinced."

Wang Yanling still looked indifferent.

Yang Qi was stunned again, he quickly calculated in his head, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly laughed coldly.

"You don't think I'm going to kill you?"

Wang Yanling was stunned when it came to this, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I won't ......"

"Why?"

Yang Qi's voice rose a few degrees.

Wang Yanling hesitated for a long time before he slowly spoke, "The grass people are useful to Your Majesty, and they are also useful to Jiangshan Sheji. The grass people felt that His Majesty would not kill people who were useful to Jiangshan Sheji. ”

Yang Qi leaned back on the dragon chair and looked at him playfully, "You first found Guo Shilang when the imperial examination was reopened, and then took advantage of his greed to help you successfully hand your article to me." ”

On Yang Qilong's case, there are seven volumes.

Yang Qi pointed to the scroll and said: "Seven volumes, seven national policies, straight to the point." Each of them can be regarded as good words for governing the country. Even if I want to find someone who can compare with you in the territory of Yan Kingdom, I am afraid that I can count them on one hand.

You expected that these articles would be sent to me, and even more so that I would see the clues from these articles and finally find you.

And after meeting me, you even used the means of wanting to capture and indulge in the past to arouse my curiosity about you. ”

Yang Qi looked at him coldly, "You are such a talent, you don't follow the right path, but you use these crooked ways to attract my attention, tell me, what do you want?" ”

Yang Qi exposed Wang Yanling's mask word by word.

Wang Yanling didn't panic at all, he still said indifferently: "The grass people have studied hard since childhood, and they have traveled abroad to study for many years, in order to show what they have learned and show their ambitions.

However, when the grass people wanted to participate in the imperial examination.

His Majesty rose strongly, and stood up for Song and Liyan.

However, instead of reinstating the imperial examination, four university halls were established for the imperial court to take scholars.

There is no way for the grass people to serve the country.

Now, His Majesty has reopened the imperial examination.

However, with the grass people's understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty's dislike for the cancer of Confucianism is so deep, he just opened the imperial examination and took Confucianism.

The grass people are a little confused.

Therefore, the grass people want to see what kind of person His Majesty is through this move.

Is it a person worthy of service. ”

Yang Qi raised his head and asked coldly, "Now that you have seen it, tell me, what kind of person am I?" ”

"The bee is accurate, the eyes are long, the birds are beautiful, the jackals are sound, the little grace and the heart of the tiger and the wolf, the covenant is easy to get out of the people, and the ambition is also light to eat people."

Wang Yanling talked eloquently.

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and sneered: "If I remember correctly, this sentence is what the captains of the Qin State said about Qin Shi Huang back then. Do you want to tell me that you are a tyrant worthy of Yingzheng, or do you want to tell me that you are a famous man worthy of a lieutenant? ”

Wang Yanling bowed, "Your Majesty's merits are comparable to those of the First Emperor." The talent of the grass people does not lose to the captains. ”

Yang Qi got up slowly and stared at him stunned, "Should I say that you are arrogant, or that you are proud." ”

Wang Yanling straightened up and looked at Yang Qi's eyes without humility or arrogance.

Half an hour later.

Yang Qi said faintly: "You want me to use you, but your methods have violated the laws of the Yan Kingdom. You say, "What should I do to you?" ”

"The grass people are willing to wear sins and make meritorious contributions."

"What can you give me?"

"The grass people can help His Majesty govern the Seoul University Hall. Ten years later, Seoul was just the Seoul of the Yan Kingdom. ”

"I'm giving you this chance."

Yang Qi instructed Peng Pai: "Take him down and send him to Seoul." Let him start with the youngest professor. Ten years later, I want to see how he can give me a Seoul of the Yan Kingdom. ”

"King Trillium, thank you, Lord Longen!"

The conversation between the two people, Peng Pai listened inexplicably, and he didn't understand what the sentence Yanguo's Seoul meant.

But this did not prevent him from carrying out Yang Qi's orders.

Immediately, he escorted Wang Yanling out of the imperial study.

When Yang Qi was the only one left in the imperial study.

Yang Qi sighed: "Wang Yanling is worthy of being Wang Yanling, and he can actually see the shortcomings of Yan Guo. ”

The reason why Yang Qi said this was because when he heard Wang Yanling compare himself to a lieutenant just now, he remembered Wang Yanling.

After all, as a traverser.

The few famous ministers in the history of the Song Dynasty were either caught by him or killed by him.

Suddenly Wang Yanling, a very talented person, appeared, which made Yang Qi a little uncomfortable.

After he searched all the memories in his mind, he found out the identity of Wang Yanling.

Speaking of which, this person has a relationship with the Yang family.

This person is not recorded in the official history, and has always been considered a fictional character.

But in the romance of "Yang Jiajiang", he is an out-and-out big man.

A generation of famous ministers, the mentor of Bao Zheng, a scholar of Longtuge University.

These two identities are enough to illustrate.

And Yang Qi's own existence proves that this is a world of romance.

Then Wang Yanling's existence naturally makes sense.

It was precisely because he knew Wang Yanling's identity that Yang Qi bypassed him lightly and asked him to serve in the Seoul University Hall.

Wang Yanling also proved his talent to Yang Qi in just a few words.

To the west of Yongzhou and to Seoul, it used to be the land of the southern country.

There are many ethnic minorities here.

When Su Yijian governed this place, he supported the Han, Slang, and Wing people.

This has also led to the fact that these three ethnic groups are powerful and frequently oppress other ethnic minorities with small numbers.

Therefore, from the establishment of the southern country to the present, ethnic contradictions have frequently erupted here.

Because of ethnic relations, frequent hurtful incidents often occur.

This has almost become a heart disease for Yang Qi.

Yang Qi originally planned to wait until the Confucian matter was dealt with before dealing with it.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yanling jumped out in advance and took over the matter.

This is indeed a bonus.

And Wang Yanling also successfully entered Yang Qi's eyes in his unique way and reputation in Romance.

From the test papers of the scientific examination, a Wang Yanling was excavated, and Yang Qi was in a very good mood.

So when the temple examination is held.

Yang Qi specially instructed the imperial dining room to prepare some good food for the lifters of Jinke.

It can be regarded as a reward for them to indirectly dig out Wang Yanling.

Since the founding of the Yan Kingdom, the first imperial examination was held.

In the midst of the huge ceremony, it was held as scheduled.

Morning.

The new imperial examinees wore court clothes given by the imperial court and waited outside the palace gate.

After Chen Lin's holy decree was issued, the new imperial examiners, under the leadership of Guo Shilang, stepped into the palace with impassioned official steps.

All the way to the Qianyuan Palace.

Inside the Qianyuan Palace.

Food, tables, chairs, benches, pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other things have already been prepared for the lifters.

The lifters were outside the hall and entered the main hall while giving the salute.

Since Yang Qi canceled the kneeling salute, the lifters all bowed to express their respect for the emperor.

After entering the main hall.

They saw Yang Qi, who was towering, sitting on the dragon chair.

Jiang Chao, who was now Keyayuan, was stupid on the spot after seeing Yang Qi sitting upright on the dragon chair.

His eyes bulged out, and he looked at Yang Qi dumbfounded, his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't make the slightest sound.

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead at once.

He wanted to run, but he didn't dare to run.

Because he felt that the swords in the hands of the imperial guards guarding the gate of the Qianyuan Hall seemed to be aimed at him.

As long as he runs, he will be divided by a random knife.

"Let's go! What are you doing stupidly! ”

He raised his son behind Jiang Chao and pushed him.

As if he had lost his soul, Jiang Chao was pushed into the Qianyuan Palace.

As he walked forward, the more cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Because as Jinke Yayuan, his seat was just below the imperial steps, only five steps away from Yang Qi.

Yang Qi could see him clearly, and he could also see Yang Qi clearly.

Jiang Chaozhan sat down tremblingly, not daring to raise his head.

But he could feel that the two eyes fell on him and never left.

Yayuan's unpromising appearance was seen by many people.

These people were full of contempt for the Jiang Dynasty, but they didn't think about it.

Guo Shilang only thought that after he saw Yang Qi, the first person in the world, he was intimidated by Yang Qilong's power and was a little timid.

"Your Majesty, there are four hundred and eighty-six people in this imperial examination, and all of them are here."

"Open the book!"

After Guo Shilang's confession, Yang Qi gave the order to open the exam.

Pieces of white paper were distributed to the hands of the lifters, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Guo Shilang unfolded the topic that Yang Qi had personally formulated.

Question 1.

On sincerity.

Seeing these two words, Jiang Chao was so frightened that he almost didn't lie on the ground.

He felt that this was Yang Qi reminding him, and he trembled even more.

When Guo Shilang saw his appearance, he almost kicked him out.

But he accepted Jiang Chao's money, so he could only open his mouth to help him explain in front of Yang Qi: "Your Majesty, our Yayuan, when I first saw Your Majesty, was a little intimidated by Your Majesty's dragon threat......"

"Really?"

Yang Qi looked at Guo Shilang with a smile, "Guo Aiqing is very caring to him. ”

Guo Shilang was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "The minister is also worried that because of nervousness, the bad dynasty will lose a good talent. ”

"Good talent?"

Yang Qi repeated it and looked at Jiang Chao with a smile.

"Raise your head!"

Jiang Chao cried and mourned, raised his head stiffly, and did not dare to look directly at Yang Qi's gaze with a dodgy gaze.

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Jiang Chao, are you happy to see me again?" Not surprised? ”

"Poof!"

Jiang Chao couldn't hold back any longer, Yang Qi's seemingly close words, listening to his ears, were more terrifying than the ghost sound of Yan Luo's soul.

He sat down on the ground like mud, kowtowing like garlic.

"The grass people deserve death for their crimes!"

"The grass people deserve death for their crimes!"

“……”

Yang Qi retracted his gaze and asked Guo Shilang sarcastically, "This is what you call a good talent?" Is this the talent you have chosen for me? What a talent! ”
