Prologue as a blood book, dyeing the Spring Pavilion!
"The big ghosts and the little ghosts sit in a row, and they spend the night peacefully!
The great Xuan Shengshi, Tianfu Libin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wenyuan Spring Pavilion, and there are many houses.
In the early morning, a bright white practice pierced the black curtain, overflowing the heavens from the east, and the countless torches below reflected each other, and after the last report of the watchman, it evoked the sound of cicadas......
"Goo, goo, goo!"
The rooster crows, and everything awakens.
With the sound of the last gong of the watchman, the tens of thousands of torches planted in various places in the examination room were also extinguished one by one by the nearly 1,000 silver-armored guards who patrolled it. As a result, it also officially indicates that the Great Xuan Dynasty, Xuandu Tianfu, ushered in a new day.
But obviously, at this moment, for the nearly 10,000 students in the examination room, it can be said that it is the next day of the most important three-day examination of "carp jumping over the dragon gate and delineating milestones", that is, the first day of "threading the needle and figuring out the meaning of the question" or "a flash of inspiration and winning the question", the next day "writing hard and showing the literary brilliance", and finally "checking the meaning of the text and transcribing it on the rolling paper", basically three days, and the dust has settled, and in most cases, the key to determining a candidate's future should be the next day when the gap can be widened the most. Will it shine brightly and ascend onto the stage of history? Or will it be a shame and a melancholy affair? As soon as the day passes, the coffin will finally be closed, and the journey of the nearly 10,000 students present will also begin.
Now that early spring is approaching, it is full of new greenery. The sky is black and white, and the eastern morning sun is revealed.
Kaoshe Chunqiu, delicate and chic, staggered and orderly, closely arranged into a square, around the center of a tall Zhu Pagoda - the eight sides of the Wenyuan Pavilion, suppressing the earth, deterring all the small and small.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, since Gaozu Dingyuan, Wenchang world, Wuzhao four states, so this spring special call, state, government, town and the county yamen, recommend high talents, regardless of fame, show talent, lift people can be, all canonized by the Ministry of Rites, Prime Minister Yang Zhong on behalf of me to test, in the thirteenth year of the Qianming Dynasty will meet His Excellency Wenyuan, pick ten complete Jinshi, the champion is the first, there are three eyes, and the flower is six, in order to promote my great Xuan Guowei, Longen is mighty. Chin this. ”
"Chin this... This ....."
At this time, on the Spring Pavilion, a sharp voice belonging to the eunuch was constantly echoing, as if it wanted to spread far away, and it seemed to answer the echo.
"Chen Yang Zhong!"
When the decree was played, a short and fat scribe who was at the forefront of the courtiers, like Maitreya, took a slow step, slowly knelt on his knees, and raised his palms to the top, greeting the holy decree.
"Command!"
........
Sending the eunuch who issued the decree away, Yang Zhong leaned on Xuan with one hand and held the holy decree in the other, casually behind his waist, and asked the officials behind him in an indifferent voice: "I am still a little unfamiliar when I first came to the examination supervisor, and it has been more than a day since the examination today, is the style of the examination discipline good?"
After that, a large circle of people surrounded them, hearing Yang Zhong's question, the two people standing in the front looked at each other, but it was a thin old official on the right who took the lead to walk out, bowed down to Yang Zhong and said: "Go back to my lord! At present, only 86 fraudsters have been arrested, and 3 favoritisms have been arrested.
"Hmm. Nodding his head, Yang Zhong didn't say much, just took a step forward, walked to the edge of Mu Xuan, raised his eyes and looked down, and there was an unobstructed view below.
"Danger to adults!"
"Xiangye!" ......
Because Yang Zhong is fat, this scene, from the eyes of everyone, is very dangerous, so the officials stepped forward one after another, and they were nervous for a while, worried about the safety of Xiangye.
"Xiangye, don't go any further!"
"Yes, Xiangye, this is more than 20 feet from the ground! Danger......!"
In order to standardize the examination room and make overall arrangements, the Spring Science Examination will be set up in His Excellency Wen Yuan, and the examiners, examiners and supervisors at all levels above will be separated by the tower body and tower layer.
The main body of Wenyuan Pavilion, from top to bottom, is divided into nine layers, nine of which are supreme, concealing the meaning of "king over the world, unifying talents", so only today's saint is in person, it can be activated. The remaining eight floors are distributed according to the official products of the court, such as the first and second floors are placed with silver guards and their guards, and the third layer of the Imperial Forest Army ensures the safety of the fourth to sixth floors of the marking officers, and is responsible for monitoring whether the marking process is fair. The seventh-floor supervisor is a high and high supervisor, and from this view, the entire examination room can be seen at a glance.
Eight floors under the nine, is one person below, above ten thousand people, only the prime minister, such a court of a product, or the feudal officials, only qualified to board, so the decoration is elegant, the materials are exquisite, soundproof and impermeable, high and tranquil, stable as walking on the ground. And the entourage, the reason why they were fortunate to come, was also stained with the light of Xiangye.
"Hehe! It's okay!" casually stopped everyone, Yang Zhong looked at the staggered and orderly bamboo house on the ground with a smile, and couldn't help but think deeply. Halfway, he sighed: "The one who is called the 'junior model' and the 'contemporary Hongru' in the Central Plains... What the... Oh, by the way, what's the name of that 'Son of the West Mountain'?"
"Yu Xiangye!" At this time, without waiting for the rest of the people to react, the middle-aged scribe on the left took a step forward, bowed down to Yang Zhong and said, "This person's name is 'Fang Shou', and the examination position is 'Suzaku Eighteen Elephants', northwestern, horizontal nine, vertical sixty-three, sixteen years old, Xishan Jiu'an, his parents died when he was young, he was adopted by the King of the West, he was a staff member of the Xishan Palace, and was escorted to Beijing by the personal guard of the King of the West a month ago...."
"It doesn't need to be so detailed..."
Quietly, Yang Zhong's gaze roughly swept over the direction that the scribe had just described, and there was nothing wrong with it. Seeing this, Yang Zhong slowly closed his eyes, as if he felt the coldness of the high wind, and as if he was stating an inconsequential trivial matter, and said lightly:
"In this way, the 'Xishan Shengcai' that is admired by the people of the Central Plains is the person of the Western Prince? Hehe, I should know the ambition of the Western King, and he can't hide it! But if I want to take advantage of this big test and put people in, hehe, how can I, Yang Zhong, do what he wants? Where did this Xishan genius come from, let's fight back! Under the rule of Daxuan, the land is vast and the resources are abundant, and the talents are even more abundant, what 'holy talents' and 'pillars' don't know how to go, and they really lack him?"
"Yes...."The old official raised his eyelids lightly, and for a while, he pursed his mouth and behaved more restrained, and in addition to this old official, there are really a lot of similar actions, and now, there is a large area, followed by the old official, they all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to gasp.
"Lu Ke, you go, ask, those inspectors, how is this Fang Shou's article written?" Suddenly, Yang Zhong turned back suddenly, his smile deepened, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable meaning.
"Yes!" A hint of fierceness flashed on the middle-aged scribe's face, and he immediately stepped back and went to investigate.
"Huhu~" At this moment, the wind suddenly became more violent.
"Xiangye, the wind is high above, you better go down to avoid it..."
"It's okay!" Stopping everyone again, Yang Zhong narrowed his eyes and swept over the buildings in the distance, among them, there are continuous attics, solemn temples, and majestic palaces, and so on, and this series of buildings that symbolize the extreme of the world, but at this moment, they are like captive pets, all crawling under their feet. Yang Zhong enjoyed this gap very much, thinking about it, the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend deeper.
"Your Excellency!"
Lu Ke went and returned, with a smile on his face, as if to announce the good news:
"That 'Xishan Holy Son', oh no, it's that damn Fang Shou, it's just in vain! Since he entered yesterday, he has been hesitating repeatedly, and he has not been able to complete the article for a long time, I'm afraid that so far, he hasn't even been able to solve the problem!"
"Oh, the question hasn't been solved, it's really strange!" Yang Zhong rarely put away his smile, and the pair of narrow eyes that were already pursed turned into a narrow slit.
Humanity is that Da Xuan will try, break the title first, do not solve the problem, and lose everything. Yang Zhong doesn't believe it, a saint son of Xishan, who is known as the "pillar of the country", can't even solve the problem?
"Xiangye!" Lu Ke has served for many years, how can he not know what he means, seeing Yang Zhong's move, he immediately hugged his fists and said again, "Xia Guan hid on the top of the Yinwei building, uncovered the tiles and peeped, and saw that Fang Shou had been thinking for a long time, so he held back a word, thinking about it, this so-called 'pillar' is just a waste of fame!"
"He can't make waves when he hangs!" It stands to reason that Da Xuan will try, if there is no accident, it will be tried by the saint himself, in order to show the virtue of the great Xuan saint's love for talent, Yang Zhonggui is the prime minister, both for the saint to appoint, on behalf of the main test, when we must uphold orthodoxy, not too much interference, but we can't do it clearly, and we can't come to the dark?
"Let's explore!" Yang Zhong sent a message, and then returned to the couch, and his heart was already half settled.
........
"My lord, my subordinates observed for a long time, and saw that Fang Shou was tearing and writing, and in only two hours, he used up all the straw paper and collapsed all over the ground. ”
"Oh?" Looking at the silver guard in front of him, Lu Ke asked a little uneasily, "Are you sure that now that the scroll is about to be sealed, once you miss this opportunity, the roll paper will be presented to the saint, and the face of the prime minister will be refuted, I will not spare you!"
Since the founding of the Great Xuan Dynasty, after a hundred years of examinations, there has already been a relatively complete system of examinations, that is, such as Yang Zhong, a big man who covers the sky with one hand, as the prime minister, and concurrently recognizes the position of the chief examiner, is not allowed to falsify in the marking of the papers, which is related to the majesty of the imperial court, not to mention that there are many eyes and ears during the period, and all parties are constantly playing games, and there will definitely be no chance to take advantage of it.
"The subordinates have repeatedly confirmed! Although Fang Shou's actions are strange, he has never written a word, and there is not a word written on the test paper!"
"Tut-tut.. No, the name of the Holy Son is false, and it should not be depraved, even if it is not completed, it should always hold back a few words, how can it be so exaggerated, it is more than half of the time, and even the manuscript has not been completed?" Seeing that Yinwei's face was full of solemnity, not like a fraud, Lu Ke was full of doubts, and his eyes flickered, "Then you should tell me, what is strange about him?"
"The palms of my hands are sweaty, and I move around a lot. Occasionally, binge drinking and fidgeting. Gazing at the head of the case, looking at the topic and frowning. To sum up, the three points are a sign of anxiety disorder, and they know that they are more than halfway through the time and should not be delayed, but they still make no progress, and the end is extremely strange! After all, even if it is unbearable in previous years, it will not be like this!"
The person in charge of monitoring the Fang Guard, is a confidant of Lu Ke who was placed in Yinwei many years ago, specializing in the affairs of Tianfu Wenyuan, has never been absent from a session of the trial patrol, and has seen a lot of students. Hearing this person's eloquent words and carefully analyzing the reason, Lu Ke didn't want to be suspicious, so he suppressed his doubts at the moment, got up and stared away.
This is the seventh floor, and the prison officials are separated from each other, monitoring the movements of the examination room.
Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Lu Ke took a deep breath of cool breeze, and raised his eyes to look at the Kaoyu where the Holy Son of the West Mountain Fang Shou was, still, it was quiet, and there was no movement.
"The name of the Holy Son is true, this is a well-known thing in the world, but Fang Shou, what tricks are you playing?!"
Lu Ke's eyes were ruthless, and he directly ordered his henchmen:
"There is no limit to straw paper, this rule has to be changed!"
"My lord!" Yinwei's face was suddenly quite embarrassed, and he stopped talking, "This... I'm afraid..."
"Humph!"
Glancing at the other party, Lu Ke was displeased, and said meaningfully:
"I was in the fifth year of the Qianming Dynasty, and I entered the palace, and I am considered to have come over... Nature knows the limits. You can do it without worry! It won't bother you! I'll keep you useful!"
The multi-faceted checks and balances and the gathering of talented people are the great ancestral system and the foundation, and they must not be violated by anyone, including the saints today. However, now, maintaining the status quo at the big level and using hands and feet on small policies has also hit a new atmosphere after Yang Zhong took office.
........
Night. The moon is thick.
"Purr ~ Purr"
The thick snoring resounded through the eighth layer of Wenyuan. And during the examination, those who dare to sleep peacefully and snore in the Wenyuan Pavilion, apart from the high-ranking prime minister, who can be?
"Dada~"
The sound of hurried footsteps, from far to near, is intertwined with the sound of snoring, one after another, and the sound source is handed over, and the footsteps are paused, and there is no more follow-up.
"Huhu~"
The snoring continues. So, half ringing...... The snoring stopped.
"What?"
"I'm sorry to disturb Xiangye Qingxiu!" Looking at Yang Zhong, who was lying on the rocking chair, motionless like a mountain, and didn't even raise his eyelids, Lu Ke tightened his mind and looked quite embarrassed, "I just reported directly, saying that Fang Shou... Fang guards him...."
"Oh?" After not hearing Fang Shou's news for a long time, Yang Zhong was still "worried", but now that there was finally a movement, he immediately came to his senses, opened his eyelids and smiled, "Say!
Seeing Yang Zhong's signature Maitreya smile again, Lu Ke's heart trembled, and his voice trembled a little: "Four... Four..."
"But it's okay to say it!" Seeing that Lu Ke didn't hold back a fart for half a sound, Yang Zhong waved his hand impatiently, signaling the other party to speak bluntly.
"People from all over the world, everyone too. Everyone, the world. After two days and nights, Fang Shou finally started writing, his intention was to be home. Family the world!" After saying what he had to say in one breath, Lu Keshen lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yang Zhong again.
"People from all over the world, everyone too. Everyone, the world. Expand to everyone with a small family, replace nothing with something, it seems to be there, but in fact it is nothing! Yang Zhong's eyes were cold, "With this idea, where is the country placed? Where is the holy place? And the small family is the country, and all the people are sacred, isn't this secretly admonishing the principle that 'water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat' and 'the people are noble and gentle'? The most ridiculous thing is that he is still in front of me! He is so bold!"
After saying this, Yang Zhong closed his eyes again, and finally was completely relieved, and said lightly: "Based on this alone, I can put him to death, by the way... Hehe, after this battle, I really feel that the prince of the West is magnificent, and he will send a knife when he lacks a knife, but the blade of this knife is aimed at himself!"
As he spoke, as if he remembered something again, Yang Zhong suddenly opened his eyes, and a burst of light shot out: "Is there an introduction at the beginning?"
This time, he was answered with a rare silence.
"Say it quickly!!" Yang Zhong reluctantly moved and propped his upper body up from the couch.
As soon as he spit out a word, when he saw Yang Zhong's gloomy gaze that seemed to be able to kill, Lu Ke tightened his neck and said in fear, "Yang Daxuan, the family is the world." ”
Even so, deathly silence.
Long... Long...
"Hehe~ahha"
Inadvertently, a gloomy smile came out of the mouth of "Maitreya", which made people shudder, and as a party, when he caught a glimpse of the blood in the eyes of "Maitreya", Lu Ke had already knelt on the ground, trembling like a lamb to be slaughtered, and he almost kowtowed a few times.
"The great mystery is the world. ”
......
Repeating these eight characters, Yang Zhong's smile became deeper and deeper.
"Okay, good, good, you King of the West! Are you going to send this son to officially tear the skin with the original minister? Okay! Okay, good! Lu Ke! Do you know what to do? Go!"
"Xiangye! this...."Sweat flowed down, Lu Ke's clothes were soaked, but he didn't dare to move a step, he still knelt on the spot, and said stubbornly, "My subordinates don't know! Maybe the king of Shenxi ......"
Lu Ke's face was like ashes, his heart was like a withered heart, and he knocked his head vigorously in a panic, and even hit the floor with a "knock" sound, which shocked the supervisor downstairs, and hurriedly raised his head, not knowing what happened on the upper floor.
"Join you, a big-headed ghost! Break the ink! Break Fang Shou's ink! What do I think he writes?"
"Phase.." As soon as Lu Ke was halfway through his words, his body froze suddenly, and immediately, he came back to his senses and looked at Yang Zhong with great admiration, so he no longer hesitated, and ran downstairs like a whirlwind, and at the same time kept calling the name of Yinwei's "confidant" in his mouth.
At this moment, even the undercover agent was exposed, and he did not hesitate to do it.
"Dressed!"
Soon after Lu Ke left, Yang Zhong, supported by the guards, slowly stood up, closed his eyes and breathed again, adjusted slightly for a moment, and then returned to his usual breezy appearance. He was in good spirits and said with a smile:
"It's a lot of fun!"
After a stick of incense.
Ignoring the strange gazes of the people around him, Lu Ke rushed upstairs again, and climbed all the way to the eighth floor of Wenyuan Pavilion.
As soon as he got out of the spiral ladder, he immediately knelt down, quickly climbed behind Yang Zhong's heels with his hands and feet, and knocked out a big blood bag on his forehead:
"Xiangye!
The moonlight is like a horse, passing through the splendid Milky Way, pouring down, covering the Zhu Pavilion Dome Tower. Then, it was draped on Yang Zhong's shoulders again, imprinting a virtual image on the ground.
The high wind was turbulent, blowing the whiteness of the sideburns, but it could not blow away the moonlight.
I don't know what I'm thinking, Maitreya is still Maitreya, and he didn't pay attention to Lu Ke, still smiling faintly, but the only thing that is a little incongruous is that Maitreya's brows are frowning tightly.
"Xiangye?" The cold wind poured into his neck, Lu Ke was excited, and instantly regained his composure, while peeking at Yang Zhong's reaction, he said cautiously, "Fang Cai, I ordered someone to cut off Fang Shou's ink, I wanted to force him to give up the exam, but I didn't think that this person didn't know how to lift, but he dared to be on the Spring Field, Your Excellency Wen Yuan, openly cut his wrists to take blood, dipped his pen to answer the sheet, this... This is simply a great rebellion! The sin deserves death! The spring will try, the ancestor himself will set up, the whole country will be compared, and the holy grace is mighty, how can he be allowed to be defiled?"
"Make a blood book?!Dye the spring hair? It's reversed! It's really the opposite!"
Yang Zhong's gaze slowly moved downward, and finally stopped at a test place in the "Vermilion Bird Eighteen Elephants", where, at this moment, it was heavily guarded, surrounded by water, and under the lights, it was particularly eye-catching compared to other places.
For a while, the entire "Vermilion Bird Eighteen Elephants" was spread in an extreme panic, and even a few candidates who felt exhausted due to staying up late for a long time were directly fainted under this high-intensity stimulation.
"Pen and ink!" Yang Zhong said calmly:
"The rebel son Fang Shou, sent by Li Jixuan, the king of Xishan, in the spring of the thirteenth year of the Qianming Dynasty, made a big test in the spring, made a seal with blood, and on the scroll of his family, this move slandered Wen Sheng, Wen Yuan was stained with blood, it was really a great rebellion, and he should be punished by the nine clans! The king of Xishan does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and does not know people well, so evil intentions, and the harbor is very deep, and I hope that Your Majesty will be clear! The minister thinks that when the northwest governor Sun Hui is dispatched, he immediately orders the heavy troops to overpower him, so as to seize his military power and avoid future trouble......s."
As a matter of fact......
"The great mystery is the world. ”
These eight words, which are plain on the surface, have a different meaning in the eyes of Yang Zhong, Lu Ke, and other high-ranking people who have known officialdom for a long time-
"Yang Zhen Daxuan, the family is the world!"
