In front of the list on Book Street, Liu Xuan stood quietly in the crowd, looking at the list above, smiling.

These lists were all selected by him, and he is a little proud to think about it.

First place winner: Mo Shu.

Second place on the list: Liu Yi.

Third place Tanhua: Kong Li.

Fourth place: Li Ke

Liu Xuan has always firmly believed that in any era, it is often the younger generation that can really bring progress and development to the society and the country, like those old diehards, who have long been unable to accept new things, and he also believes that the people above will definitely make the Nine Shadows Empire brilliant.

"Hmph, bullshit list!" A curse rang out.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they turned to look, a young man in his twenties was dressed in coarse linen clothes and had an ordinary appearance, with a look of disdain.

"Hey, this friend, how can you talk so wildly, this list is all high school people this year, and the future achievements are limitless, the emperor hand-picked, it is a big disrespect for you to talk like this." Seeing such a cold scholar, the others immediately said dissatisfied.

"He's going to try to fall off the list, jealousy, no wonder, there are a lot of villain words." Some literati couldn't help but scoff.

"The people on this list are all bullshit to me, hand-picked by the emperor? The emperor is also bullshit! As soon as he heard the ridicule of the crowd, the scholar did not shy away from it, and scolded, "It's a pity that my Ji Fang is so talented but no one cares about it, and the nine shadows are complete." ”

When the scholars heard that Ji Fang dared to scold the emperor's bullshit, their faces changed drastically and hurriedly retreated, "This person is a madman, everyone should ignore him, he will only speak wildly, full of nonsense, no wonder he fell off the list, he really deserves it." ”

"Let's take the test again in my next life." The crowd laughed and walked away.

Liu Xuan has been standing aside, when he heard someone scolding him for bullshit, he couldn't help but be stunned, staring at the down-and-out scholar, in Jiuyou, who dared to scold the emperor, but the big crime of killing the head, this scholar named Ji Fang was really arrogant, in Liu Xuan's opinion, how arrogant the scholar was since ancient times, but it was not false at all.

After a moment of silence, Liu Xuan walked up to Ji Fang and said, "Your Excellency must have very human insight when talking like this, and Xiao Sheng really wants to hear it." ”

Fang Cai, a scholar named Ji Fang, said that the Nine Shades were finished, and his heart moved, this person could see the momentum of the Nine Shades, and he must have some skills, if it was really nonsense, Liu Xuan would be even if he was farting.

Ji Fang glanced at Liu Xuan a few times, dressed in rich clothes, and looked at the two thug-like family members not far behind Liu Xuan, with a wild smile on his face, "Since you conclude that I am a lie, why do you say that I must have very human knowledge, isn't this a contradiction?" ”

Liu Xuan was stunned, this Ji Fang's ability to bite and chew words is really a skill, and his eloquence should be very good.

"Well, if you will invite me to a big meal, I will tell you whether it is a lie or not, and you will know, and if you are satisfied, you will have to give me some money." Ji Fang said casually with a broken jar.

Liu Xuan's face was full of black lines, but this person's face was also deep, and he groaned for a moment, and said, "Then it depends on whether Your Excellency is really talking nonsense, please."

After Liu Xuan finished speaking, he took Ji Xiang to a restaurant, chose a private room, and generously ordered a lot of good wine and food, Liu Xuan and Ji Fang sat opposite each other, and the two guards closed the door and guarded outside.

Ji Fang looked at the table full of good wine and food, and he was not polite, and sat down to eat.

It was almost noon, Liu Xuan was also hungry, he was a good citizen, naturally he didn't have any shelves, and like Ji Fang, he was in a big chunk.

Ji Fang watched Liu Xuan eat the same way as him, just the large piece of chicken leg, grabbed it in his hand and bit it regardless of the image, and his heart doubled his good impression of the rich child in front of him, and it was the first time he saw such a rich boy with no image.

After thinking about it, Ji Fangdao said, "Looking at the son's dress, he must be a nobleman in the capital, and a nobleman who can go out with a guard must be a child of an official family." ”

"Well, sort of, listening to your words, it seems like you're going to slap me." Liu Xuan glanced at Ji Fang and laughed.

"Let's stammer, I have my own talent, if you are rich and powerful, what does it matter if I stammer you, I still want to stammer with the emperor, but now the emperor is really blind, and he can't even look down on me Ji Fang, alas" Ji Fang was also free and easy, but then scolded the emperor, Liu Xuan almost choked.

"This imperial examination, the person who reviewed it is the matter of the Hanlin Academy, how can you blame the emperor, Brother Ji thinks he is talented, why was he brushed down by the Hanlin Academy." Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and explained.

"Those bullshit Hanlin bachelors, they can only slap horses, what I wrote is scolding the nine ghosts and mediocrity, and the princes have no way, so they will naturally be brushed down by the Hanlin Academy." Ji Fang scolded frankly.

Liu Xuan's face was full of black lines, and this Hanlin Academy became bullshit by the way, but listening to Ji Fang's words, it seemed to make sense, and he scolded Jiuyu for being mediocre, and the princes had no words, and it was natural for them to be brushed down, like Liu Yi's test paper, he also read it, and his words were beautiful, but he didn't cleverly say what they really thought, but he was also a person who understood the way of officialdom.

Come to think of it, this Ji Fang is too sincere, or he really disdains it, and it is normal to be brushed down, thinking of this, Liu Xuan can't help but be gloomy, it is estimated that there are still many people like Ji Fang who have been brushed down.

"Since you know that you will be brushed down, why do you dare to write such arrogant words, and now you are biting into the Nine Shadows." Liu Xuan took a sip of rice wine and said.

"Brother Liu is so hospitable, my brother Ji will talk to you a thing or two, and when the time comes, you will judge whether I am lying or not." Ji Fang raised his eyebrows.

"Listen up." Liu Xuan smiled, he really wanted to hear it, this Ji Fang can be a little talented.

"Next month is the princes coming to the court, Brother Liu can know, among the princes of the Nine Shadows, which one is the strongest and which one is the weakest?" Ji Fang poured a sip of water and wine.

Liu Xuan was stunned, there were many princes in Jiuyou, and under the careful counting, there were more than a dozen, and there were seven or eight really well-known ones, but he really didn't know which one was strong and which one was weak, and he groaned for a moment and said, "The Mo family in Dongzhou, the Zhang family in Beizhou, the Song family in Xizhou, and Liu Yuan, the foreign prince of Qiaozhou, are the strongest." ”

"I didn't expect Brother Liu to know a lot about the distribution of the Nine Shadows forces, which is rare." Ji Fang's expression was picked, and he glanced at Liu Xuan carefully.

Liu Xuan's face was black, all the princes were his emperor's subordinates, could you not understand

"What Brother Liu said is true, these four princes are indeed the strongest in Jiuyou, and they are also the people who are most likely to rebel." Ji Fang said solemnly, "On the other hand, in the Jiudu Dynasty, if there is no power of Prime Minister Li De, what will Brother Liu imagine it will be?" ”
