Chapter 153: The Mansion City Rises
Midday.
The trees are cloudy and cloudy, and the green clouds are shady.
The sky shines from the transparent glass of the attic, bundled into thin lines, glazed and sparse, interwoven into patterns.
The Ten Princes wore a silver crown on his head, a brocade robe, embroidered unicorns on the top, and colorful clouds below, he looked at the mountains and water, water and clouds in the distance, and remained quiet.
The two dragon-headed guards stood behind him, their eyes were calm, as if they were loose and tight, they were all first-class innate martial artists, and they had a full set of armor on their bodies, so they could calmly kill the unscrupulous.
After a while, I only heard the sound of footsteps at the staircase, and a middle-aged man with a lupine scarf appeared, with a warm face and a calm demeanor, very much like the military style in the storytelling novel.
"Mr. Zheng is here. β
The Ten Princes turned around, his facial features were tough, his eyes were heavy, and he spoke slowly, giving people a very powerful feeling.
"Your Highness,"
Mr. Zheng came to him, saluted, and then arrived, "There is already news from the Gongyuan. β
"Oh,"
The Ten Princes raised their eyebrows, smiled, and said, "This township examination in Yunzhou is full of talents, and there are many true seeds of reading. β
"yes,"
Mr. Zheng replied, and then said, "Chen Yan, whom Cui Xuezheng mentioned, has been strongly supported by a group of deputy examiners. β
"Chen Yan,"
The tenth prince smiled and said, "It is worthy of being Cui Xuezheng's favorite disciple, and he is really good, but this time the chief examiner is Fang Shishu, whether he wants to solve the yuan or not, it still depends on him." β
"Scholar Fang, he is not dealing with Cui Xuezheng's faction. β
Mr. Zheng shook his fan and said, "Although our Fang University Scholar has a good reputation in Shilin, he must have made a move if he can get a card on the opponent's proud protΓ©gΓ©." β
"What is Mr. Zheng's opinion?"
The Ten Princes took their hands in their hands, paced back and forth, their eyebrows were filled with purple gas, and said, "Is this Chen Yan worth our heavy hand to woo? β
"If Chen Yan can solve the yuan, he will definitely win over. β
Mr. Zheng talked eloquently, with a kind of strategist who did not go out of the mountains to guide the world, and said, "Looking down, even if Chen Yan does not solve the Yuan, His Highness should do his best to receive his subordinates." β
"Oh, why is that?"
The Ten Princes stretched out their sleeves, sat down on the stone bench, raised their hands to pick up the small pot, poured themselves a glass of wine, and drank it all.
"According to my inquiry, Chen Yan is a real poet and painter, and he can write well, and no one can match the younger generation. β
After Mr. Zheng finished speaking, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "The three princes have been managing their power in the government and the opposition recently, but whether they can take the position or not depends on Your Majesty's decision in the end." β
"Father,"
The Ten Princes were stunned, then their eyes became extremely deep, and they said after a while, "Mr. Zheng is right, as filial sons, our three brothers also have the obligation to make our father happy." β
"That's the truth. β
Mr. Zheng put away the goose feather fan and said with a smile, "In this case, no one can pick His Highness's li'er, father's kindness and son's filial piety is a great gift, and even a saint can't refute it." β
The Ten Princes were a very decisive person, and when they made a decision, they immediately ordered, "Since this is the case, then protect Chen Yan." β
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it. β
The Lord of the First Hall of the Wuji Star Palace was indeed powerful, but she had very little impact on the situation of the Great Yan Dynasty, and she was not even as good as a Chen Yan.
In such a situation, the trade-off is of course simple.
In the Tribute Courtyard.
The curved water flows, and the floating light is haloed.
Fang Shishu was dressed in green clothes, without a crown on his head, pinned with a wooden hairpin, he sat in the pavilion, looking into the distance.
I saw the stream falling from above, round light like a wheel, early white, dyed red, turned red, and the five colors flowed.
The water vapor is thick, and the clouds are steaming.
"Really,"
Fang Shishu retracted his gaze, and there were three exam papers on the jade case in front of him, all of which were the essence of arts and sciences, and he was the best in this year's township examination.
"Chen Yan,"
Fang Shishu picked up the middle volume, I don't know how many times this is recited, it is subtle and catchy, and the impression of the sassy and comfortable handwriting on it is also impressive.
"It's really hard to do. β
Fang Shishu frowned, unable to decide.
Not far away, Cui Xuezheng was drinking good tea while flipping through the exam papers, with a leisurely and very calm demeanor.
"Hmm,"
After reading the last volume of the case, Cui Xuezheng rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and when he turned his eyes, he saw Fang Shishu, who had been sitting upright, and sneered in his heart.
This younger generation of himself is really worthy of being praised by many people in the capital, with a thick face and a black heart, and he is very urban, but this time it depends on what he does.
"Brother Cui,"
A deputy examiner came over and said with a smile, "I have to congratulate Brother Cui in advance, my disciple can produce such an excellent disciple." β
"Huh,"
Cui Xuezheng was happy to hear this, but he had to be modest, and said, "The level of candidates in this township examination is very high, and it is not easy for Chen Yan to win Xie Yuan." β
"The level of this year's candidates is indeed not low. β
The deputy examiner first agreed, and then said solemnly, "However, this official believes that Chen Yan's level is still one line higher than others." If the examiner has another choice, the judge will definitely fight for it. β
Cui Xuezheng smiled, took a sip of tea, and did not speak.
He knew that the person in front of him was tenacious, old-fashioned, and talented, and after seeing Chen Yan's exam papers that day, he read them three times in a row, shouting happily, and rarely lost his temper.
Since then, the deputy chief examiner has spoken out to point Chen Yan as Xie Yuan.
"It's nice to have him at the front. β
Cui Xuezheng's mind turned, he wanted to avoid suspicion, and many times he couldn't fight with reason, but this one had no scruples, and he had a good reputation in Shilin, if he didn't give up, it would definitely give Fang Shishu a headache.
Outside the city, in the Star Palace.
Mrs. Xihua sat upright on the cloud bed, and a silvery white star rose from the gate of heaven, in which seven large stars moved, dragging their tails, changing back and forth.
"Whew,"
Mrs. Xihua opened her eyes and looked at the city in front of her, her eyes were calm.
On that day, due to the loss of the Infinite Star Tribulation Treasure Spirit Bead, she was so angry that she made a big fuss in the city, and even did not hesitate to fight with the king of Lanling County, and also aroused the dissatisfaction of the gods of the Jintai Mansion family, and jointly expelled her from the city.
If it weren't for the Wuji Star Palace's greatest support later, I'm afraid she would have to be driven out of the Great Yan Dynasty's sphere of influence.
"Chen Yan,"
Mrs. Xihua's face was expressionless, although she didn't know whose hands the Infinite Star Tribulation Treasure Spirit Bead had fallen into, but she had her own way, that is, to grasp Chen Yan tightly and find clues from him.
After all, his incarnation fell in the process of searching for Chen Yan, and thinking of his son's death, that Chen Yan couldn't get out of it.
"It's going to be released soon. β
Mrs. Xihua was condescending, and the Great Zhou Tian Ten Thousand Star Treasure Mirror on the dome reflected the crowd of people coming and going in various passages of the city, and said hatefully, "You go easily, I'll see how you return!"
