Chapter 41: Visiting the Prefect

Seeing that he had found a place to live, Wang Yue sent two guards back to Huangyuan to pick up the family, and by the time they came, the house should have been cleaned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info As for Huangyuan's house, Wang Yue is not ready to sell it, after all, it is the first property he came to this world, which is of commemorative significance, and Wang Yue is not short of the two thousand taels of silver flowers now.

After arranging things, Wang Yue prepared to leave to visit the prefect of Xingyuan. After all, it's been a few days since I arrived, and if I don't drag it out, it will give people a sense of arrogance.

When he came to the door of the mansion, Wang Yue saw the appearance of the Xingyuan mansion. There were two stone lions squatting at the entrance of the yamen, staring at the pedestrians on the road in front of the yamen with their mouths wide open. Four steps after the stone lion were four red pillars that could only be held by two people, and to the right side of the pillar was a fence, and in the fence was a red drum, which I think had been struck by the complainant. After that, there was a door with gilded copper nails in red paint nearly a foot long, and two officials in quick clothes were guarding the door. As soon as Wang Yue stepped forward, he was stopped by the two officials.

One of the thin officials shouted at the top of his voice, "What are you doing?" Do you know what this place is? ā€

Wang Yue knew that he could never offend the people of the prefect's yamen now, in case there were any relatives of the prefect, eighty percent of his career would be ruined here.

So Wang Yue took out a piece of silver weighing two taels and handed it to the thin official and said: "I am a Xiucai from Huangyuan, who came to Xingyuan for the examination, and there is a letter of recommendation from the county order here, and I ask the adults to help spread it." ā€

The official weighed the silver nugget in his hand and said, "Even if you know some rules, you wait here, I'll go and pass on to you, but I can't guarantee that the adults won't see you." ā€

"This is naturally saved in Xia, if that's the case, it can only be blamed on Xia Fuyuan's shallowness."

The official took the silver and walked into the palace, about half a cup of tea, the official trotted out, saw Wang Yue and said, "Your Excellency, please." ā€

Wang Yue came to the government under the guidance of the official and met the prefect. I saw the prefect sitting in the inner hall and instructed his subordinates to serve Wang Yue a cup of tea, Wang Yue naturally understood the rules of the ancient tea delivery, and this tea could not be moved until the host made a special statement to let him drink it.

The prefect sat in the hall and looked at Wang Yue. Seeing that Wang Yue was wearing a white robe today, with a flat head on his head. In fact, the prefect had already received Liu Yongjia's flying pigeon biography a few days ago, and Liu Yongjia praised Wang Yue's talent in the letter, and made it clear to the prefect that the training was added to his own affairs. So the prefect has been waiting for Wang Yue for the past few days, and it is precisely because of this that after the official reported to the prefect that Wang Yue was in front of the door, the prefect asked the official to hurry out and invite in. After all, Wang Yue's master can now be regarded as his own person, and Wang Yue also asked to join his own faction, so he can be regarded as his own person.

While the prefect was looking at Wang Yue, Wang Yue was also observing the prefect. I saw that the prefect had no beard on his face, looked like he was about thirty years old, dressed in the official mansion, and had a strong body. Seeing that the prefect was looking at him, Wang Yue hurriedly bowed down and said, "Student Wang Yue pays a visit to the prefect." ā€

"Well, get up." The prefect said slowly, it seemed that only in this way could he show his majesty. After a pause, the prefect continued: "I already know everything about you, since you asked to join, I will naturally give you this opportunity, but whether you can grasp this opportunity or not depends on yourself." ā€

"The student was puzzled." Wang Yue really didn't understand what the opportunity was in the prefect's mouth.

"Let me tell you this, your examination is a test for you. If you are admitted, we will cultivate you as a seed, and if you fail the exam, then I will say nothing. ā€

"However, if the student offends the Bai family, he will definitely not let the student be admitted!" Hearing this, Wang Yue felt a little anxious in his heart, damn, if I can be admitted, why do I come to you!

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this matter, the Bai family's affairs will naturally help you take care of it. I'm talking about you relying on your own strength to get into the lift! Hearing Wang Yue's words, the prefect laughed.

When Wang Yue heard the prefect say this, his heart was settled. Without the influence of the Bai family, this is nothing.

"The student knows that if there is no influence of the Bai family, if the student still can't pass the exam, he will not be worthy of the cultivation of the prefect." Wang Yue cut the iron way.

Seeing that Wang Yue was so confident, the prefect said happily in his heart: "Don't boast about Haikou first, wait until you are admitted." Then he seemed to think of something and added: "You are a talent who was only admitted this year, it stands to reason that you have no chance to participate in this year's township examination, but your talent is outstanding, so you can only waste your talent by waiting for another year, so I set an example for you and allow you to participate in the township examination in January." You have to seize the opportunity, my dynasty is in a crisis, and the imperial court has only opened the Enke selection, and if you miss this time, you will have to wait for another three years. ā€

The prefect seemed to be educating Wang Yue to speak, and from these words, Wang Yue knew how the prefect was preparing to test himself. It turned out to be a test to see if he could be admitted to the examination with his own talents, if he was admitted, he had an open-minded future, if not, he didn't have to say much, where did he come from. It seems that there are two answers, but for Wang Yue, there is only one choice. If you are admitted, everything will be fine, but if you are not admitted, you will be abandoned by the prefect, and the Bai family will rush to it. Without refuge, he is like a lamb.

"Thank you for your support, and the students will definitely live up to the expectations of adults!" This is the only answer Wang Yue can do now.

Coming out of the mansion, Wang Yue looked at the geese flying south in the sky, and sighed in his heart that he was still Meng Lang. I always thought that after defeating the Bai family, it would be an avenue of stars, but I didn't expect that the danger was not far away, but peeking at me from the side, as long as I took a slight wrong step, I would be dealt a fatal blow.

"It seems that I still have to improve my strength." Wang Yue stood outside the palace and said to himself, he obviously felt the weakness of his strength in this palace. In Huangyuan, he is the dominant party, but in this huge Southern Song Dynasty, he is just a carp crossing the river.

Wang Yue knew that he had to build up his own armed forces more quickly, and only in this way could he fight against the dignitaries who controlled this political power.

Back at the inn, Wang Yue called Wang Youhua aside.

"Yeshua, I have some things that need to be out for a few days. When the family comes, you take them to our new house. ā€

Wang Youhua, as Wang Yue's bodyguard, naturally knew that his eldest brother would disappear without a trace in a few days. Seeing that Wang Yue said this to himself today, he understood that Wang Yue was going to disappear again.

"Well, big brother, I know. You can go with confidence. ā€
