"Alas, alas. "Wang Yuanjun has lost count of how many pities he has said in the past two days.

The test papers were reviewed by everyone.

After the last, Cai Xian ordered the three of them to come to Fang Yun's test paper and kept discussing, but in the end there was no way.

So much so that when it was time for lunch, Cai Xianling was still hesitant, so he could only ignore it for the time being and go to lunch.

After lunch, everyone rested for two moments and continued back to the reading room.

Cai County Ling was still reluctant to let Jingguo's only double-class boy slip away from his hands.

Wang Yuanjun explained: "There is no need to think too much, there is the talent of Mingzhou, and there is no mistake in the holy word, the future achievements will definitely not be under our wait, and the false name of the world's first child Shuangjia is not to be wanted." He can get the head of the case with all his injuries, and he can be lifted in the middle. ”

Cai Xian Ling stood stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude: "We are the king, the country, the saint, and the selection of talents for the human race, how can we be afraid to move forward because of the slander of others!

Wan Xuezheng and Wang Yuanjun looked at each other speechlessly, Cai Xianling's words were to say that if Fang Yun was given double armor, he would be infamous for a lifetime, and if he didn't give it, he would be scolded for a hundred generations, and Fang Yun would be praised to the extreme.

After Cai Xianling finished speaking, with a big stroke of the pen, he crossed out the second-class comment on the other party's invitation to the holy words, and rewrote the comment:

is sick and wounded,

Ox carts go to the examination room;

Poor and less pen and ink,

Choosing the virtuous for the holy.

Armor!

Holy Judge, please!

Wan Xuezheng and Wang Yuanjun were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Cai County's order to be so heavy.

The two have been officials for many years, and after reading it, they immediately realized that this Cai County Order saw that Fang Yun must be famous, so he took this opportunity to give it a go.

If you lose, it's just a fine, and the court won't punish it heavily, because it also benefits Jingguo to fight for Fang Yun's double armor.

But if he wins, he will become the first county magistrate in Jingguo to produce a double class child, although the court is in charge of education, but the county magistrate is the chief examiner and parent official of a county, and the credit is the greatest, and he can definitely be promoted.

Wang Yuanjun and Wan Xuezheng were immediately convinced, no wonder the other party was a Jinshi, this courage and arrogance alone were not comparable to them.

The two looked at each other and immediately said loudly, "Please Holy Judge!"

The voices of the three of them entered the void through the ubiquitous talent of the Academy, and they came to Qufu on the shore of the East China Sea and south of Mount Tai, the Holy Courtyard.

From afar, it is an inverted mountain, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, with the tip of the mountain sticking down into the ground, and at the top of the mountain is a huge platform with many pavilions and ethereal white clouds.

Confucius likes Mount Tai, and is reluctant to hurt the main peak of Mount Tai, the Jade Emperor Peak, so take the 3,000-foot peak on one side from the foot of the mountain cross-cutting, carry the mountain peak back to Qufu, gently throw, so there is the world-famous "inverted peak mountain", and pick up the pen to paint in the air, a pair of ink pavilion paintings suspended in the air.

Confucius opened his mouth and blew, and the pen and ink pavilions fell on the top of the inverted peak, forming the Qufu Academy, which is now the Holy Courtyard.

In the center of the temple there is an extremely large hall, which can seat 100,000 people, which is the place where Confucius taught, called the Lie Temple.

There is a shrine in the temple with many statues dedicated to all the canons from ancient times to the present day.

Beneath the altar, there were three elegant old men sitting in a row, and there was no one else.

These three old men looked ordinary at first glance, but on closer inspection, countless strange pictures flashed in the eyes of the three of them.

There are starry sky circulation, there is the rotation of the four seasons, there are empty valleys and secluded mountains, and there is also the noise of the market, from the grassland of the north to the rainforest of the far south, from the desert of the far west to the coast of the East China Sea, all kinds of things in the world are in it.

At this time, the images that flashed the most in the eyes of the three of them were the scenes in the literary academies of various parts of the Shengyuan Continent.

Ten countries and ninety states in the Shengyuan Continent, nine prefectures in each state, nine counties in each prefecture, and everything in the more than 7,000 literary academies was in the eyes of the three people.

One person spoke.

"A, B. ”

Another man spoke.

"The protégé of the sky, the injury and illness go to the exam, the words can be practiced, and the heart of the saint is rare, A!"

The last person was silent for a long time, and the last one spit out a word.

"Yes!"

The voice of the last person flew over thousands of mountains and rivers, and exploded in the reading room of the Jixian Literary Academy, and everyone was like hearing thunder in their ears, and their hair was like blowing in the wind.

The crowd was amazed and delighted.

"Half-saint transmission, it's my penance for a month!" said one of the speakers, ecstatic.

Wan Xuezheng said: "Generally speaking, if the demi-saint agrees, he will only acquiesce, but the demi-saint actually opened his mouth, because he was afraid that we would not give him A, which means that he agrees very much, second only to the hand-picked demi-saint, which is a great thing." ”

Cai Xianling thought for a moment, but said: "The matter of the half-saint transmission must not be spread outside. As soon as he is still young, if he knows that this matter will be proud, it will not be good for the future, and it will not be too late to tell him when he becomes a lifter. Second, if he gets a double armor, he will become the target of the public, if there is another half-saint transmission, I don't know how many villains will be slandered behind their backs. I will report this matter to the minister and ask him to order the seal. If you dare to spread the word about today's events, you will be guilty of killing Jinshi and deserving of the punishment of five horses!"

Cai Xianling's eyes were like ice, his body was surging, and a chill spread in the reading room.

When Jinshi was angry, his talent could be turned into a spear and sword that could kill people, which was extremely terrifying.

Ten lecturers who taught at the Academy of Literature hurriedly bent down and saluted, saying that they did not dare.

"I've been the people of Jingguo for generations, it's too late to rejoice when I see this talent, how can I do harm?"

"I am a distant relative of Fang Yun, and I have also taught him to read and write, and I will definitely not harm him. ”

"Hmph!" Cai Xian Ling snorted unhappily, before the name seal of the test paper was opened, he knew that the speaker was Fang Yun, which showed that these lecturers had overheard the three examiners talking.

Wang Yuanjun said: "What the county lord said is extremely true, after all, he is still young, and he must not be overly killed. I have also seen that Fang Zhongyong, and I have always been worried about him, but unfortunately his father is greedy for profit, and it is difficult to say in the future. ”

Cai Xianling nodded and said, "Since the ranking has been decided, then open the name seal and write the gold list." ”

So everyone tore open the place where the name was sealed in the test paper, and then took out five large pieces of yellow paper, which is the so-called gold list.

Cai Xian Ling remembered fifty children with just one glance, and wrote in the upper left corner of the first piece of yellow paper: Fang Yun, A, A.

The second line reads: Fang Zhongyong, B middle, B below.

......

"Born at the wrong time. Wang Yuanjun looked at Fang Zhongyong's name and whispered.

After writing the gold list of fifty children, Cai County Ling said: "I'm going to write today's invitation to the literary meeting." ”

Wang Yuanjun and Wan Xuezheng were silent.

On the day after each release of the results, the three examiners will hold a literary meeting, inviting local meritorious people and the top 10 children to participate, mainly to discuss, comment and appreciate the test papers of the county examination.

Originally, it was okay for someone else to write the invitation, but Cai Xian ordered him to write it himself, which shows that he attaches great importance to today's literary meeting.

By the time everything was done, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the main entrance of the Academy of Arts was wide open, and there were a large number of candidates, relatives and friends crowded outside, crowding the originally wide venue at the entrance of the Academy of Letters.

Without waiting for the gold list to be posted, a person hurriedly walked towards the academy, and everyone saw that it was Lu Zhutou from this county, and they all guessed what was going on.

Lu Zhutou quickly found Cai County's order, bent down and arched his hand, and said: "Qiyu County Zun, the matter of that night has been basically investigated, but there is no evidence. ”

"Say!" Cai County's order was not high, but his eyes were extremely attentive, and he looked at Lu Zhutou seriously.

Liu Zicheng of the Liu family in Dayuan Mansion looked at the child daughter-in-law of Shangyun and deliberately befriended Fang Yun, but Yang Yuhuan was a chaste martyr, and the other party was desperate, and Fang Yun did not give up her for the money. Liu Zicheng was annoyed and ashamed, and once made threats, and later ordered people to beat Fang Yun in the alley near Jixiang Restaurant. ”

"Are you sure it's the Liu family of Dayuan Mansion?"

"You can't be wrong. Lu Zhutou looked at Cai Xian Ling cautiously.

Cai Xianling frowned and thought hard.

After a while, Lu Zhutou whispered: "Xia Guan also heard a strange thing about Fang Yun, and I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Say!"

Fang Yun said that on the night he was beaten, he was rescued by a mysterious person, and then that person took Fang Yun as a student and taught Fang Yun a lot overnight. ”

"Oh, how was Fang Yun's previous writing, how was his knowledge?" asked Cai Xianling immediately.

"It's very bad, even I was not as good as back then, and I definitely can't be a child. ”

Cai Xian Ling looked at Lu Zhutou.

Two hundred years ago, the status of the Kuai Ya was very low, and there was no grade at all, but in recent years, the population has grown, the talent is at its peak, and there are more and more people who have taken the examination for fame.

This Lu catcher is a showman, and he became a catcher because he had no hope of being promoted.

"I know it, don't tell anyone about it. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Lu Zhutou was about to turn around and leave, Cai Xianling took out an invitation card and said: "This is an invitation to invite him to Jixiang Restaurant to participate in the cultural meeting, you personally send it to him." You arrange for someone to keep an eye on you to prevent Liu Zicheng from retaliating again. If Liu Zicheng dares to make a move, you will deal with it according to the "Jinglu", and the protection of Fang Yun is the heaviest, do you understand?"

"Xia Guan understands. ”

"Go ahead and make a good impression on Fang Yun. ”

"Yes! ”

Lu Zhutou's heart sank, he knew that Cai County Ling was a person of Wenxiang, and he was an old enemy of Zuo Xiang Liushan, but now Zuo Xiang's power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and it is said that he almost forced Wenxiang to return to his hometown. At this moment, Cai Xianling should definitely not offend Liu Zicheng or anyone from the Liu family, but now he is trying his best to protect Fang Yun, proving that Fang Yun is very unusual.

Lu Zhutou walked out, and happened to meet the official who went to post the gold list, and asked, "Is that person named Fang Yun on the list?"

"Ah, don't you know what to do? This year's case is Fang Yun!

"Case-head, what? Say it again! Shuangjia? You're not wrong?" Lu Zhutou couldn't believe his ears.

"See for yourself. The official said and spread out the rolled gold list, and the first place on the first page was Fang Yun, and the two eye-catching "A" characters were on it.

Lu Zhutou gasped, he is a real talent, he knows the meaning of Shuangjia Tongsheng best, Jingguo has been founded for two hundred years, and there is not a single Shuangjia Tongsheng!

He looked down at Lu and saw that the prodigy Fang Zhongyong was just Shuangyi.

Lu Zhutou's mind became active, his steps involuntarily accelerated, and the small abacus in his heart quickly played.

"No wonder Cai County Ling is not afraid of offending the Dayuan Liu family! This means that there is nothing wrong with this party's invitation to the holy words, such a person is by no means ordinary, there is probably a behemoth behind it, that mysterious person is not related to Wen Xiang? It is very likely! Let me send an invitation this time, but this is a great opportunity, we must seize it!"

The official whispered, "I heard those speakers say that this Fang Yun is still a saint child. ”

"Hiss......" Lu Zhutou gasped again, the former Tongsheng of the Double Armor Saint, even if he has no background, is worthy of Cai County's full protection.
