After reading the test papers of the students who were in the examination, only two or three of them were good, but they only barely reached the level of lifting people, not to mention that compared with Zhang Ming's articles, even if they became Jinshi, it was impossible.

"Elder Jia, gather all the officials who are correcting the test papers, this king has something to ask. The fifth prince put down the test paper in his hand and said to Jia Feng.

"Your Highness, the old man will go. Jia Feng's figure flashed and disappeared.

In less than half a cup of tea, the six officials who had read the papers had arrived.

"Your Highness has seen Your Highness. The six people knelt down and saluted, and the five princes raised their hands slightly and said, "Get up." ”

They all guessed that this time the five princes were looking for themselves, I was afraid that it would not be a good thing.

The fifth prince handed Zhang Ming's test paper over: "This king saw an article, I like it very much, its literary style and knowledge are all superior, but the strange thing is that the student who wrote this article did not win the promotion, I hope you adults will solve your doubts for this king." ”

The six officials who read the file were all puzzled, and it was not until they finished reading Zhang Ming's article that they understood what the five princes meant by the good article.

Zhang Ming's article is indeed a rare good article, at least one grade higher than the level of several of them.

"Your Highness, this article is indeed very good, and it is of the first rank. But the six of us have never seen this test paper, if we correct, such an article will not be able to fall off the list. An old man with white hair said.

The fifth prince glanced at Jia Xianfeng, and Jia Xianfeng nodded, indicating that what he said was true. Zhang Ming's test paper did not go through the hands of the six marking officials.

The fifth prince looked at the examiner again, and said coldly: "Lord Wang, you are also a scholar, and you have been an official for almost twenty years. Tell me, what is the difference between Zhang Ming's article and the articles of these people on the list? As long as you can convince this king, this king will definitely keep you safe, and he will also make you an official and a knight. But if you can't tell me why, this king will not spare you. I also ask Lord Wang to give me advice, so that this king can gain knowledge. ”

The chief examiner, Lord Wang, suddenly fell to his knees with a limp on his knees, his face was like ashes, and he couldn't say a word. Faced with the pressure of the Five Princes, he collapsed.

As a member of the Wang family, he can't betray the family, and he can't say what is wrong with Zhang Ming's article, this black pot can only be carried by himself. I just hope that after my death, the family will help take care of my wife, children and mother.

After all, even if he told the truth, the Wang family would not let him go, and the people in the family would suffer.

"Don't speak?" the fifth prince sneered, "Do you have nothing to say, or do you protest with silence?"

The fifth prince could no longer control his anger, walked up to the chief examiner, Lord Wang, and kicked him a few times. Although the fifth prince is not a peerless master, he is also a first-class martial artist, and Lord Wang was kicked to the point that his head was bleeding and he howled and cried.

The other six officials looked at the furious Fifth Prince, and they all shivered.

"There are signs of rebellion and instability everywhere in the Great Qianchao, and all the root causes are caused by corrupt officials like you who practice favoritism and irregularities. The fifth prince said loudly, "If it weren't for the favoritism and irregularities of officials like you, where would there be so many bad things in the world?

"If it weren't for this king coming to Yamen today to check the test papers, Zhang Ming's talent would have been buried by your dog. Do you still remember Yue Feng forty years ago? Originally, Yue Feng was a pillar of the imperial court, and he could completely serve the imperial court and the world, but he was forced to the Sword Sect by you bastards. Forty years ago, you treated Yue Feng like this, and now you treat Zhang Ming like this, if you continue like this, where can the imperial court still have available talents? ”

The Fifth Prince finally turned his anger into a sigh.

"Jia Lao, let's go. The fifth prince said to Jia Feng with a flat face.

Jia Xianfeng left behind the five princes, and the chief examiner, Lord Wang, also recognized that the five princes had let him go, and he was happy in his heart, and finally picked up a life. The five princes are benevolent and righteous, and it seems that what they said is true.

But who knows, Jia Feng, who had just walked to the gate, swung out a palm, and the palm power condensed by the innate true qi directly hit Lord Wang, killing him.

"A dog official like you can still live, is there still heavenly reason?" Jia said in a cold voice without looking back.

Originally, as a person of the five princes, even if Lord Wang broke the law, he still needed to be tried according to the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, but this time he couldn't suppress his anger and lost his calm, suggesting that Jia Xianfeng directly shot and killed Lord Wang.

.................................

Walking on the street, Jia Fengfeng said to the five princes: "Your Highness, from the old man's point of view, this Lord Wang is just a small chess piece of the Wang family, and in order to deal with Zhang Ming, the Wang family not only chased and killed him, but also used the power of the government. ”

The fifth prince nodded and said: "Old Jia, what you said, of course this king knows that Zhang Ming and that Lord Wang have no grievances, if he hadn't been ordered by the Wang family, he wouldn't have deducted Zhang Ming's test paper privately." Besides, if it weren't for the Wang family's backing, then how would Lord Wang dare to be so presumptuous and blatantly engage in favoritism?"

Knowing that a prince came to Anxi Mansion for a private visit, he still dared to cheat for personal gain, which shows that he is bold and has reached the point of lawlessness.

But the five princes have no way to take the Wang family, and they don't even dare to trouble the Wang family for the time being, the strength of the sect family is too strong. Even if it is the imperial court, he does not dare to touch them easily, not to mention that he is just a prince now, even if he really becomes an emperor in the future, when facing these sect families, he is walking on thin ice and is powerless.

Thirsty for talent.

This is also the fundamental reason why the five princes want to find talents for the court and for themselves.

"The family of the sect did not take the laws and regulations of the imperial court into account at all. If there is an opportunity in the future, this king must let the Great Qian Dynasty have a law to follow, govern the country according to law, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The fifth prince said lightly.

It's just that in his own heart, he doesn't think it can be done.

The Great Qian Dynasty was founded for thousands of years, and Emperor Taizu was the first in the world in martial arts and dominated the world, but he still failed to make the sect family submit.

Jia Xianfeng sighed and didn't speak, he didn't know how to comfort the five princes. There are many things that cannot be done well with faith.

A thousand-year-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family.

Since ancient times, dynasties and clans have coexisted and have not changed.

.........

Zhang Ming got up early in the morning and waited for the release of the list. Although his heart is strong, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of excitement and apprehension.

Because once he is admitted to the lifting of people, he will step into the official career, which is the first step for him to realize his dream.

As soon as he got out of the inn, Zhang Ming saw the yamen in the yamen who reported the good news.

"Congratulations to Gongzi Zhang Ming, congratulations to Gongzi Zhang Ming, you have won the first place in the Anxi Mansion A list. In the future, we should call Zhang Ming Gongzi a master. ”

The two good news officials were a little excited and restrained in the face of Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming became a master at the age of nineteen, and he really deserves to be a literary and opera star. Such characters are not comparable to these humble officials.

Hearing the news that he had won the first place, Zhang Ming's heart was slightly shocked, but his strong heart made him quickly return to calm. Zhang Ming did not have the slightest arrogance of being the first in the department, but returned the gift with a fist to the two officials, and offered a reward of happy money.

Back in the room, Zhang Ming waved his brush and wrote, "Righteousness lasts forever, and the country and the people are safe." "Eight big words.

In the future, these eight words will be Zhang Ming's criteria and goals for being a man and doing things.

No one asked about the cold window for ten years, and once he became famous, the world knew it.

A month ago, Zhang Ming was just a down-and-out showman. A person came to Sun's house to withdraw from the marriage, and was chased and killed by the Wang family. But a month later, Zhang Mingke won the first place and became Xie Yuanlang of Anxi Mansion.

Many officials in Anxi Mansion came to congratulate in person, and the Lord of the Mansion even held a banquet for Zhang Ming. Of course, a large part of this is because of the Five Princes.

The five princes justified Zhang Ming's name in the yamen and killed the chief examiner Lord Wang, and the other officials all thought that Zhang Ming was the person of the five princes, and of course they didn't dare to slack off.

Night.

Zhang Ming returned to the inn, thinking that no one would disturb him anymore, and was about to rest, but he didn't expect that three more visitors came.

These three people are the five princes and the two innate offerings. A month ago, they had a relationship with Zhang Ming in the Sun family.

The fifth prince did not play tricks, and directly indicated his identity, Zhang Ming was surprised.

After taking his seat, the fifth prince said: "Zhang Ming, you are very good, not only resisted the temptation of the Sword Sect, but also won the first place in the Anxi Mansion. Now this king should call you Zhang Jieyuan. ”

Zhang Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness has said that Zhang Ming can be admitted to the lifting of people, but it is just luck." ”

The fifth prince nodded secretly, although Zhang Ming was a young man and became a master at the age of nineteen, but he did not have the slightest impetuous and proud atmosphere, and he was really strong-hearted, steady and benevolent. Such a person, even if he does not have his own help, will get ahead in the future.

Just like Yue Feng, although he missed the scientific examination, he sat on the master of the Sword Sect, stepped into the divine realm, and became a kendo master.

People can achieve achievements, not accidentally, but inevitably.

Zhang Ming asked: "I don't know what His Highness is looking for Zhang Ming?"

The fifth prince said: "This king came to Anxi Mansion this time for a private visit to Weifu. The matter has been done, and it is time to go back to the capital. Before leaving, this king wants to meet you, Xie Yuanlang, and make a good fate. Zhang Ming, if you have the talent of the champion, you will definitely become the pillar of the country in the future. I don't know if you plan to enter Beijing with this king, or stay in Anxi Mansion?"

Zhang Ming knew the meaning of the five princes, and entered Beijing together, that is, now he defected to his command, and by the way, he entered Beijing to participate in the ceremony and the palace examination. And staying in Anxi Mansion is to start being an official and give up next year's palace examination.

Zhang Ming was silent for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I may not be able to go to the capital with you." When I arrived in the capital, I took the palace examination and passed the Jinshi examination, but I just stayed in the capital, and even if I could return to my hometown at that time, it would not make much sense. I want to benefit the township, change the lives of the people, and give the people of Anxi Province a bright future. ”

Come home rich or famous.

It's not Zhang Ming's ambition,

What he wants to do is to cultivate himself, work as a family, and govern the country and the world.

The fifth prince laughed and said, "Zhang Ming, your decision is really not what this king expected. You are different from those scholars who only want to glorify their ancestors, you are the same as this king, you are people who want to do something for the people for this world. In that case, before King Ben leaves Anxi Mansion, he will help you do one last thing. ”

After speaking, the fifth prince took out the seal and the appointment paperwork.

"This is the county order of Qing'an County, Anxi Prefecture to take over the documents and seals, Zhang Ming, this king gives you three years, if you can govern Qing'an County well and change the fate of the people of a county, then this king will definitely look at you differently. ”

The fifth prince handed over the seal and the appointment documents to Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Mingding will not disappoint His Highness and the people of Qing'an County. ”

Zhang Ming may not be able to govern a government now, but he still has confidence in governing a county.

"You have to be careful of the Wang family. The fifth prince said solemnly, "You are now a lifter, and you are a county order, the Wang family may be afraid of the court and dare not blatantly deal with you, but there will definitely be no shortage of means in secret." Also, the Wang family has innate martial artists. ”

Innate Warrior!

Zhang Ming said with a solemn face: "Your Highness, rest assured, Zhang Ming will be cautious." ”
