"Which one of the classics did Li and Zhao Gongzi win?" After the initial shock, Yang Renxiao came back to his senses, suppressed the consternation in his heart, and pretended to look at the subordinate who reported the news calmly.

In the list published by the Township Examination Institute, the top five scripture leaders will indicate which of the "Five Classics" they are the leaders of the "Five Classics" under their names.

"Hui Gongzi, the head of the Li case...... No, Li Jieyuan chose "Spring and Autumn", and Zhao Yayuan chose "The Book of Rites". Hearing this, the subordinate replied with a fluttering eyebrow, "Childe, the prince in front of the Gongyuan has now exploded, and the students of the state capital who chose "Spring and Autumn" and "The Book of Rites" as the scripture are eager to eat Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan alive. ”

"Spring ...... Spring and Autumn? "The Book of Rites"? ”

Yang Renxiao's face became even more ugly in an instant, he never expected that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin would choose two unpopular "Five Classics" to test, don't they know that this is a desperate gamble?

Compared with the popular "Five Classics", those unpopular "Five Classics" are more difficult to examine, because those state capitals that choose the unpopular "Five Classics" are usually more likely to form a school, which in turn affects the graders of the township examination.

This means that it is difficult for candidates like Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin from the popular "Five Classics" state capital to do well in the unpopular "Five Classics", let alone become the leader of the classics, unless they have outstanding strength to impress those markers.

However, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin could obviously choose the more familiar popular "Five Classics" such as "I Ching" or "Shangshu" to take the exam, but the two of them coincidentally chose the unpopular "Five Classics", which made Yang Renxiao difficult to understand for a while.

Obviously, both official and private schools in Xiangyang Mansion respect the "Book of Books" in the "Five Classics", supplemented by the Book of Changes and the Book of Songs, and the "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites" are basically unlearned.

Zhao Xin said that she was transferred from Shanxi before the childhood exam, and she may have liked to learn "The Book of Rites", but Li Hongyu must not have studied "Spring and Autumn" much, at least there is no teacher in Jiangkou County who can teach him systematically, and the only explanation is that he is self-taught, which really shocked Yang Renxiao.

Regarding the purpose of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's choice of the unpopular "Five Classics", Yang Renxiao was puzzled, so that his joy of winning the top spot in "Shangshu" immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Could it be ......" Suddenly, Yang Renxiao thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but be there dumbfounded, muttering to himself, "Could it be that they are still going to Wuchangwei to support the favors!" ”

Obviously, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin did not choose the unpopular "Shangshu" and "Book of Rites" for no reason, it must be for some reason, Yang Renxiao can only think of such a possibility, otherwise there is no other explanation.

"This ...... It's just ...... It's ridiculous! After a long time, Yang Renxiao came back to his senses, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Crazy, completely two crazy!" ”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, faintly accompanied by the sound of festive music.

"Renxiao, the people in the yamen who picked you up and went to the street are here!"

Immediately, a middle-aged man walked in excitedly, and said to Yang Renxiao with a smile, he is Yang Renxiao's distant relative in Wuchang City, this time Yang Renxiao was preparing for the township examination at home, and he was very happy that Yang Renxiao could be admitted to the township examination.

"Parade?" Yang Renxiao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the Wujing Kui and the sixth Yakui in the township test had to wear red and hang on the green land according to their rankings, riding a high-headed horse to parade through the streets of Wuchang City, and accept the cheers of the people along the way.

To be honest, Yang Renxiao's mood is very complicated now, and he doesn't have the intention of parading the streets at all, but this is an official process that he must follow.

Therefore, as the joy got closer and closer, Yang Renxiao sighed, got up and tidied up his clothes and went out, after all, this was a great joy in his life, and of course he couldn't miss it.

Fuxiang Wuchang Branch.

Zhao Deyi chatted with Yang Xing, the big shopkeeper of the Wuchang branch in the backyard living room, and drank tea on the horizon, although the Wuchang branch is one of the three major branches of Fuxiang, its scale and power are second only to the general number of Shanxi, and it is one level higher than the branch of Baihe Town where Zhao Deyi is sitting, but Yang Xing is not good at all, and he is respectful in front of Zhao Deyi.

In fact, the old people of the Fuxiang know that the Fuxiang can have today's achievements is the result of Zhao Deyi leading everyone to work hard, so Zhao Deyi's prestige in the Fuxiang is very high, second only to the old man of the Zhao family.

Therefore, even if Zhao Deyi was demoted to a remote semicolon like Baihe Town by Old Man Zhao, then Yang Xing and other old people of Fuxiang still respected him very much, not to mention that Yang Xing was Zhao Deyi's person and was picked up by Zhao Deyi.

Speaking of which, most of the shopkeepers who were in charge of the branches of Fuxiang were promoted by Zhao Deyi, which also created a very brilliant period of Fuxiang.

It's just that with the loss of Zhao Deyi's power, those shopkeepers related to Zhao Deyi's semicolon were also implicated, degraded and degraded, and retreated, which made Zhao Deyi's power in Fuxiang suffer a big blow.

In addition to Zhao Deyi, who was squeezed out of the general number of the Fuxiang, the Yangzhou branch, one of the three major semicolons of the Fuxiang, that is, the semicolon shopkeeper usually known as the "Jiangnan branch", was replaced by Zhao Enming, the eldest son of Zhao Deyi's eldest brother.

Originally, in addition to the shopkeeper of the Beiping branch who was the old man Zhao, the shopkeeper of the Wuchang branch and the Yangzhou branch were all Zhao Deyi's people.

As a result, Zhao Deyi's influence on the Fuxiang gradually weakened, and the Fuxiang inevitably declined with it.

The reason is very simple, the reason why the Fuxiang was able to maintain a high-speed expansion trend before, in addition to Zhao Deyi's leadership, there are also the efforts of the following branch shopkeepers, it can be said that Zhao Deyi's people are the elite soldiers of the Fuxiang.

Now that Zhao Deyi has lost power, those who follow Zhao Deyi on the Fuxiang have been unlucky, and the existing power system has begun to collapse from the top.

This phenomenon is very scary, and if the successor is unable to figure out how to deal with it, then the Fuxiang will start to decline.

In fact, the trouble that Fuxiang is facing now is far more than the reorganization of the power system, as well as the selfish desires in the power vacuum, not to mention that Zhao Enming alone has stirred up the Yangzhou branch in the past year, and in order to protect himself, the people in Jiangnan have flattered and stammered, so that Zhao Deyi's reward mechanism that he has established with great difficulty has been destroyed.

For Zhao Deyi to be suddenly excluded, the people of the Fuxiang felt unfair, after all, Zhao Deyi had made many achievements for the Fuxiang and was the best person to take charge of the Fuxiang.

No one knows how difficult it was for Old Man Zhao to make this decision, for the long-term consideration of the Fuxiang, or in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline of the Fuxiang, he must choose to hand over the Fuxiang to his son who has an heir, which excludes Zhao Deyi, who only has an only daughter.

Zhao Deyi is not the kind of person who is greedy for power, otherwise he would have given birth to a son long ago, he originally wanted to stay in the general number to assist his brothers in revitalizing the Fuxiang, but he was kicked to Baihe Town by those brothers who were afraid of him and Zhao Xin.

This made Zhao Deyi feel a little resentful in his heart, no matter how he said that he had no merit and hard work, how could he be treated like this? Moreover, they even squeezed out Zhao Xin together, which made Zhao Deyi intolerable, you must know that Zhao Xin is just a girl who was raised as a boy since she was a child, and sooner or later she will marry someone and will not pose any threat to them at all.

"Great joy, host! The young owner was admitted to the Asian dollar, and our Fuxiang is finally out of the Asian dollar! Just when Zhao Deyi was a little uneasy, a subordinate ran in panting and said excitedly.

"What?" Zhao Deyi was taken aback when he heard this, his hand shook, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, his face was not a look of surprise but fright, this was definitely not a scene he wanted to see.

Subsequently, a trace of bitterness appeared on Zhao Deyi's face, and his heart was mixed, he never expected that Zhao Xin would be a high school sub-yuan.

If it is left to other fathers, he must be ecstatic at this time, and being able to take the Zhongxiang test Yayuan is a great joy for the glory of the ancestors, but Zhao Deyi can't be happy anyway.

The reason is very simple, Zhao Xin is a girl and not a man, the farther she goes on the road of the imperial examination, the easier it will be to be recognized, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

What is particularly important is that Zhao Deyi is worried that Zhao Xin's affairs in Li Hongyu will go dark one by one, and he can't watch Zhao Xin embark on this road of no return.

"Congratulations to the owner, the young owner can actually raise the Asian yuan, so wouldn't it be a solution in our Shanxi!" At this time, Yang Xing's voice interrupted Zhao Deyi's contemplation, and he said hello to Zhao Deyi with a smile.

In view of the fact that the education level of Huguang is far better than that of Shanxi, since Zhao Xin can stand out and be admitted to Huguang's Yayuan, Shanxi's Xie Yuan is naturally no longer a problem.

"The owner, the young owner is strong, it seems that he can be named on the gold list, and in the future, we will also have a jinshi in the Fuxiang, and we will beat other firms!" Saying that, Yang Xing happily shouted to the subordinates on the side, "What are you still doing in a daze, go and set off firecrackers, and tell everyone that we are young and high school Yayuan!" ”

When the people heard this, they immediately dispersed, and rushed to prepare for the firecrackers, obviously Zhao Deyi and the others would definitely reward them because of Zhao Xinzhong's move, and this is also a very glorious thing, so the people are naturally willing to spare no effort to celebrate.

"Alas!"

Looking at the festive scene in front of him, Zhao Deyi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and the corners of his mouth revealed a wry smile that was not easy to detect.

In his opinion, this time the trouble is big, since Zhao Xin has passed the Yayuan exam, he will have to go to the capital to take the exam, with Li Hongyu's ability to cause trouble, God knows what bad things will happen in the future.
