Ye Xu and the three of them slowly tasted the expensive meal, and listened to the gossip by the way, although the room was partitioned, but the sound insulation was average, plus Ye Xu was a monk, and the other party did not deliberately lower his voice, so he heard it clearly.

At the end of each year, the Taiping Academy has a big competition, because the academy was established by the Wu Tang Kingdom, and the students studying in the Taiping Academy are not only the children of the royal family, but also many children of the common people.

The original intention of the Taiping Academy was to compete with various immortal sects for disciples, and there have been many students with excellent qualifications entering the academy over the years, especially today's students, who not only have geniuses with excellent cultivation qualifications, but also have many geniuses in other aspects.

Taiping Academy not only teaches students to practice, but also teaches knowledge of governance, and many students graduate or do not graduate and go to various parts of the Wutang Kingdom to become civil servants.

Because there is a big competition every year, it is equivalent to a graduation exam, but this year's special attention is paid to it, the reason is that there are many powerful people among the students of this year's class, and the empress is also very concerned about the situation of this year's students.

"Brother, do you have any inside information? Reveal it! The gossipy diner asked.

"I heard from a relative! This year, the top few of Dabi can accept the reception of Her Majesty the Empress, and they may also be married. "Someone started breaking the news.

"Marriage? Are the top few married? Someone asked.

"It seems that there are many marriageable princesses and county lords in the royal family now, and Her Majesty the Empress can give marriage to the top five, as long as you can get the top five this time, then you have to marry a county lord at the very least, and that is one step to the sky." Said the whistleblower.

"Are you talking about the county lords of the empress's brother's family?" Someone asked.

"That's right! My brother's children go to school in the academy, and I heard him say that those county lords are very beautiful, and if they can marry, they will definitely not lose money. "The whistleblower knows a lot.

"Oh, but I don't think it's necessarily good to marry the county lord, I heard that now Her Majesty the Empress's brothers have their own thoughts, if something happens in the future, then marrying the county lord is not going to prison?" Some people also know some of the situations in the empress's house now, everyone wants to enjoy it and doesn't want to take risks.

"That's not what you say, you have to be able to marry the county lord before you have a chance! Only when there is an opportunity can there be a variety of possibilities. "Some people think that the risk is directly proportional to the benefit.

"If you are really good, maybe Her Majesty the Empress may take a fancy to you, and then you will be called Niu Xuan." Someone started talking nonsense.

After Ye Xu finished eating, he also listened to the gossip almost, and also understood some of the current situation in Taiping City.

Now there are many influential figures in Taiping Academy, these people are divided into two parts, one part is cultivation strength, the most famous are Zhou Mingye, Wu Huawen, Wang Peiyu, Li Yunjin, Liu Hongwei, these people basically occupy the top few of this class of graduates.

The other is in the cultural class, there are also a few people, Wu Huahu, Dongfang Yun, Xi Pingshun, Zhou Mingye, Nangong Qi, these people are the top few in this regard.

In particular, Zhou Mingye has a good cultivation and strong ability in culture and politics, and is a strong contender for the first place in this class of graduates.

Now that Dabi Dabi is imminent, the betting business has even begun to appear in the casinos, and it is now booming.

"Big brother, let's go to Taiping Academy to watch that game!" Ziying also heard these news, and she was very attracted to Ziying, who loved to join in the fun.

"Let's inquire tomorrow and see if we can go in and see the excitement." Ye Xu didn't know whether the Taiping Academy would let him in, after all, it was a school, and it should be difficult for outsiders to enter.

At night, in the General's Mansion, the family in the hall sat together to eat, Wu Mingliang sat on the main seat, dressed in homely clothes, with a bright smile on his rich face, and looked at Wu Siyan earnestly.

You Shi was next to Wu Mingming, Wu Siyan was next to You Shi, and You Shi kept serving vegetables to Wu Siyan.

Wu Huaping sat next to Wu Mingming, Wu Huaping is twenty years old this year, tall and handsome, he is also in Taiping Academy, and he is also a graduating class, and it will be the final exam in a few days, maybe he is a little lacking in confidence, and his face is relatively heavy.

Next to Wu Huaping was a little boy about ten years old, named Wu Hua'an, who was born by the Wang family.

Next to Wu Hua'an is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, named Wu Siyu, who is from the Xue family, and Wu Siyu also has an older sister named Wu Sibing, who is married and married to the son of the servant of the ministry.

The Wang family and the Xue family were next to Wu Siyan, the family was happy, talking and laughing, Wu Mingliang was very happy about his daughter's return, and asked Wu Siyan questions from time to time.

After Li Yuning sent Wu Siyan home, she went directly to Hongchenxuan's station in Taiping City, and she didn't go back for such a long time, she had to go back to report.

"Yan'er, do you want to participate in this competition?" Wu Mingliang asked with a smile.

"I still have two years to participate in the big competition!" Wu Siyan is not a graduating class.

"Then you can also participate and get to know those Tianjiao." Wu Mingliang said with a smile.

"Know whom?" When Wu Siyan heard this, she felt that Wu Mingliang had something to say, she also heard about Dabi in the afternoon, and she also knew that there were many Tianjiao figures in this session.

"Like Zhou Mingye, an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, if you can win Zhou Mingye over, it would be the best." Wu Mingliang wants to recruit some talents.

"Zhou Mingye? That? It's not a good thing at first glance, why should I know him, besides, if they join the DPRK, it will be his aunt who arranges his position, and you don't want to get involved in this, Daddy. Wu Siyan was very disgusted by this.

"It's your aunt's arrangement, if we don't do it, then I'm afraid he will be taken away by your uncle and second uncle." Wu Mingliang began to persuade Wu Siyan.

"Can't you just live in peace, if you go on like this, something will happen sooner or later, do you think your aunt will be the same as you think? Even if the aunt has no heirs, the throne will not be the turn of these brothers. Wu Siyan said directly, she felt that her aunt was a peerless person, and her thoughts couldn't be so philistine, her brothers, she didn't see what peerless talents they were anyway, and her aunt would definitely not choose them to inherit the throne.

"How can you think that? We have to prepare early, or it's too late. Wu Mingliang had an expression of hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

"I'm not wrong! Look at Wu Huaping, in addition to those fox friends and ghosts in the academy, he is hooking up with those female disciples, what can he do like this? Don't say that my aunt can't look down on it, I can't even look down on it. "Now Wu Siyan has confidence, her cultivation is already in the Heavenly Xuan Realm, and her cultivation is Heavenly Thunder Technique, although she is far inferior to Ye Xu, but she is also rare in the Changfeng Continent.

"What do you say, I'm your eldest brother, do you say that about me?" was counted down by his sister, Wu Huaping was very angry, he felt that he was very good, although he was average in civil and military, but he had this opportunity! Why not?

"Don't tell me that you're with those fox friends to attract talents, do you believe it? There's a good thing about those people you're with? rely on your parents to cover the shadows, if you really want to attract talents, you are mixed with Zhou Mingye's people? "Wu Siyan knows very well what kind of virtue her brother is.

"I can't get into their circle." Wu Huaping also said in frustration that he also wanted to mix with those people, but they didn't care about him at all.

"How can Brother Huawen and Huahu get in?" Wu Huawen is the son of Wu Mingshan, and Wu Huahu is the son of Wu Mingyao.

"I ......" Wu Huaping had nothing to say.

"Yan'er, you can't extinguish your prestige, your brother is a little bad in some aspects, isn't there still you? You have to help your brother a lot. You spoke.

"How can I help? I'll help him fight for the throne! Even if I help him earn it, will he be able to keep it? We don't have that ability, so don't think about those things that don't conform to reality, and now we can eat and drink for the rest of our lives, so why do we have to think about those unrealistic things? Wu Siyan said unceremoniously, she was probably returning to what the purpose of calling her back this time was to entrap some talented Tianjiao.

"As a child of the General's Mansion, you should think about the General's Mansion, this time you can't come by your temperament, I will enter the palace tomorrow and ask your aunt to help you get married." Wu Mingliang didn't think as clearly as Wu Siyan, and he felt that he had to fight.

"That's what you called me back for? Daddy, can you wake up? What kind of character is my aunt, who can get into her eyes like Wu Huaping? Besides, don't you know how strong my aunt is? How long is her life, to put it mildly, you are all dead, my aunt may still be alive, what do you think? If that's the case, then I don't have much more to say, I'm announcing one thing today. Wu Siyan felt that Wu Mingliang was blinded by the desire for power.

"What's the matter?" Hearing what Wu Siyan was going to announce, Wu Mingming's family was faintly uneasy.

"I have joined the Xianmen, and from now on I will no longer be a relative of the emperor, so you don't have to count on me." Wu Siyan didn't eat anymore, and got up directly and went back to her room.

"What?" Wu Mingliang didn't seem to hear it, it was incredible.

The empress has a rule that the children of the royal family are not allowed to join the Xianmen, they can only enter the Taiping Academy, and if someone joins the Xianmen, then the royal family will no longer recognize his royal status.

"Is she lying to us?" Wu Mingliang was a little flustered, he also knew what kind of character his son was, he pinned a lot of hopes on his daughter, hoping that Wu Siyan would win over some Tianjiao.

Wu Siyan felt that their ideas were too naïve, daydreaming every day, and delusionally wanting to get the throne, Wu Siyan returned to her room angrily.

Her two maids, Chunxiao and Xia Xiang, followed her back to the room, and these two maids were the two who followed Li Yuning to the Pingyang Sect.

The two maids followed Wu Siyan all the way, and they probably understood many things, and Ye Xu and the others did not avoid them when they spoke.

"I knew that I thought I would be as happy as before, but I didn't expect them to fall deeper and deeper, it was too unrealistic, and they even wanted to exchange me for political benefits." Wu Siyan said very angrily.

"Miss, don't be angry, or I'll go to Ye Gongzi and them tomorrow and let them think of a way?" Chunxiao said busily.

"Brother Ye, what can they do, it's a big deal, let's go back to Broken Head Mountain, and we won't come back!" Wu Siyan said angrily.
