The wolf smoke was billowing out, and a team of men and horses hurried from the north and rushed to the south of the Yangtze River.

This is exactly the Qincha team that set off from the capital Yingtianfu and rushed to Suzhou Mansion.

It's just that this time the Qincha team is slightly different from the usual Qincha team, although the speed of the team's rush is not slow, but it is extremely luxurious.

The front and rear of the team were escorted by four strong and mighty cavalrymen, but in the middle was a well-made and beautiful carriage drawn by four horses, revealing an extraordinary atmosphere everywhere.

As for the interior of the carriage, it can be described as luxurious, the carriage is padded with a soft blanket, and people sit in the carriage, the vibration and rush will be greatly weakened, which is quite comfortable.

There were two men in the carriage, two very good-looking, thin men.

However, one of them holds a folding fan, and there is a piece of turquoise and transparent jade under the folding fan, and at a glance you know that the son who is worth a thousand gold, is still a man's normal delicate, and there is some prodigal and frivolous between the eyebrows, but it has a romantic and elegant atmosphere, and the nobility is extraordinary.

But the other person's beauty is a little abnormal, he is not young, but there is no beard on the side of his lips, not even slag, Adam's apple, etc., his voice is very sharp, and the whole person looks very feminine.

"Xiao Guan, you said that Xu Hanwen saw us, can he still recognize us?" Brother Gongzi, who was holding a folding fan, opened the curtain of the carriage with a fan, and said with a smile as he looked at the rapidly retreating scenery outside.

The feminine man replied with a straight look: "The prince is handsome and jade, just like a celestial man, anyone who sees each other will not forget it, then Xu Xian will naturally recognize it." ”

Yes, if Xu Xian was here, he would indeed be able to recognize these two people.

They were the 'Duan Gongzi' and 'Xiao Guan' who spent two hundred taels of silver to buy a calligraphy and painting of Xu Xian in the calligraphy and painting shop in Qiantang County, and were regarded as the wronged boss by the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop!

However, Xu Xian didn't know the true identities of these two people.

This 'Duan Gongzi' is the 'Qin Cha' sent by the emperor to Suzhou Mansion.

His true identity is the eleventh son of His Majesty the Emperor, Zhao Ji, who was named 'King Duan'!

And the 'Xiao Guan' next to him is his eunuch Tong Guan.

Legend has it that before the birth of this Duan King Zhao Ji, his father went to the secretary province to see the portrait of Li Chongguang, who was known as the "Emperor of Words", and admired the former emperor who had a deep knowledge of calligraphy, painting, music and poetry, and was amazed again and again. Not long after he went back, Zhao Ji was born.

When today's son even felt in his heart that Zhao Ji's birth was a sign, he sighed secretly: "When I was born, I dreamed that Lord Li came to pay respect, so the literary style is a hundred times better than Lord Li"!

Although this statement is not credible, I have to say that Zhao Ji does have a lot of Li Chongguang's shadow. Since childhood, he has been fond of pen and ink, danqing, horse riding, archery, and juju, and has a strong interest in exotic flowers and stones, birds and animals, especially in calligraphy and painting, and has shown extraordinary talent.

Therefore, when he bought Xu Xian's characters in Qiantang County, Zhao Ji did not take a fancy to Xu Xian's calligraphy, but only to the poem "After all, in the middle of June in the West Lake, the scenery is not the same as the four seasons, and the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun".

Tong Guan said that Zhao Ji's calligraphy is not an exaggeration when there are few people who can compare with it today.

This time, Xu Xian caused a vision from the sky in the township test, and the court was shaken, and the capital naturally learned the news as soon as possible. Originally, everyone in the capital only paid a little attention to Xu Xian, but they suddenly became very anxious.

When today's son couldn't even wait to send someone to Suzhou Mansion to bring Xu Xian's test paper back, and at the same time convey his will.

After hearing about it, Duan Wang Zhao Ji was very interested in this matter, and he was going to go to Jiangnan again to collect calligraphy and paintings, and when today's son favored him, he sent him here.

"I have to say that this Xu Hanwen is really a rare talent through the ages. At the beginning, a "Theory of the Five Kingdoms" had already caused shocks in the government and the opposition, triggering a polemic between the two major parties, which gave my father a headache for a long time. I don't know how subtle what he did this time. Zhao Ji lowered the curtain and couldn't help but sigh softly. "I've heard my father say that this article may change the current situation of the country!"

Tong Guan smiled flatteringly, and said with a little deep meaning: "It is precisely because he is a rare talent through the ages that His Majesty will send you to Suzhou Mansion in person, so as to be one step ahead and envelop Xu Hanwen!"

Zhao Ji patted the folding fan in his hand, smiled and didn't speak.

Now that the crown prince has not been established, the situation in the court is still unclear, but the trend of many princes forming gangs has been around for a long time.

Although the choice of the crown prince ultimately depends on the emperor's speech, who has a better reputation in the court and has more support from the ministers, the greater the chance.

Although Xu Xian is only a talent at this time, even after the township test list, he is only a person, and he has not yet come out.

Logically speaking, such an identity is insignificant, and people are not qualified to participate in such a struggle at all.

But after the vision fell from the sky, Xu Xian's status was no longer measurable by normal fame.

If Xu Xian's policy is really as everyone expects, it can shake the current national policy, and his weight will be even more immeasurable. Whether it is the main battle faction that admires him, or the appeasement faction who sees him unhappy, they will put him in a very high position.

This is also the reason why Liang Wangye had to temporarily hold back his thoughts after hearing about Xu Xian's deeds, and did not dare to take any more measures to deal with Xu Xian.

......

......

In the golden autumn of October, the osmanthus is fragrant.

The day of the autumn release of the list has arrived, because of the season, this release of the list is also called the 'laurel list'.

Different from the previous government and hospital examinations, Xu Xian did not go to the Gongyuan to see the list on the day of the release of the list, but just got up early in the morning with Bai Suzhen, tasted the most delicious osmanthus cake in Suzhou City in the inn, and waited for the news to be delivered.

When it comes to the township test, if you win the lift, the court will not only send people to report the good news, but also send several waves of people to report the good news.

For example, a few people who are popular in the lift, the inn and address where they live have long been inquired about, if once they are lifted, someone will come to report the good news, so that they can ask for some money.

As for Xu Xian's hometown in Qiantang County, there will also be officers and soldiers of the government and county government one after another, who will continue to come to the door to report the good news.

"Today is the day of the list, Xu Guanren, are you really not worried at all?" Xiaoqing looked at Xu Xian's calm appearance, and couldn't help but strike: "Be careful of the horse stumbling!"

Xu Xian smiled confidently and said, "I don't know if the horse will lose its front hooves, but I can already hear the sound of the horse's hooves......"

After that, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing listened quietly, and really heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the inn, accompanied by the sound of festive gongs.

The one who announces the good news is coming.
