"I'm the tenth in the province, where is the seventeenth or eighteenth? Don't talk nonsense at a young age!" Tang Shiyan blew his beard and glared at him, greatly dissatisfied. Ye Xingyuan didn't stop him, although the other party's identity was definitely not simple, but since he intended to lie, he obviously didn't want to expose it, so he just used Tang Shiyan to probe his bottom.

"Dinghu Province is barely at the peak of culture and education, but that is compared with the north, and it is far from the south of the Yangtze River, what is the difference between you, the tenth-place lifter, and the seventeenth or eighteenth place in Beijing?"

He was two or three years younger than himself, but he had such insight, Ye Xingyuan was awe-inspiring in his heart, and asked with his hand: "This son has a big name, I don't know how to know my brother Tang?"

Obviously, the other party was very clear about Ye Xingyuan and Tang Shiyan's information, and even stepped on the Caoyun ship to come prepared, although Ye Xingyuan had guesses, he had to fight for more information.

"My surname is Huang, a single name with a strange character, and I am from the capital. In the past few months, they have been living in their ancestral house outside Jiangzhou City, and the two daimyos have been thunderous since the beginning of the Peach Blossom Literary Association, how can they not know it?" The young man came prepared and replied calmly, but unfortunately Ye Xingyuan, who had prejudices beforehand, felt that it must be a pseudonym.

"Yellow" or "Huang"? This little boy's name is a bit arbitrary. Ye Xingyuan pressed the sword spirit that vibrated in the sea of knowledge, and as the young "Huang" boy approached, he felt the resonance of the destiny of heaven more clearly.

This is an unprecedented phenomenon, and Ye Xingyuan also had a special sense for the first time, combined with all kinds of suspicions, almost instantly began to doubt the true identity of this young man.

As mentioned above, the royal family is the representative of the mandate of heaven, and the so-called "ordered by heaven" is not just said in the Xuanyuan world. The emperor accepted the mandate of heaven to govern the world, and his ministers and assistants sensed the heavenly opportunity and assisted, which was the order of the world planned by the sage at the beginning.

Of course, destiny is uncertain. It is not allowed to be monopolized by one family and one surname for a long time, otherwise there will be endless poison and even cause a catastrophe in heaven and earth. Therefore, there are dragons and snakes that arise from time to time, and finally carry the mandate of heaven and change the dynasty.

But even in the last days of the imperial dynasty, the royal people still had a strong mandate of heaven - for Ye Xingyuan, who had once stepped into the "Mandate of Heaven trap" with one foot. The feeling is familiar.

People with a destiny can always be stimulated to an outstanding state, and it is easy to convince people when they speak, and it is easy for people to bow down, to a certain extent, this is the so-called king's spirit.

Ministers and people worship the royal family, not only because of their status, but also because of the destiny of heaven. With the help of the sword spirit, Ye Xingyuan felt the destiny carried by the other party. And its thickness is not a hundred times a thousand times that Ye Xingyuan had before!

As for Zhu Zhen and Zhu Ning'er, although they can gather tens of thousands of people, they are not worth mentioning compared to this young man who claims to be named Huang Qi. Ye Xingyuan was able to reason and come to the conclusion that the other party was either a thief with hundreds of thousands of troops rampaging the world, or a foreign lord, or the most likely option - a certain prince who went out of Beijing.

Although Emperor Longping's health has not been very good, he still has a lot of heirs, so he has to praise the magic again. After the concubines in the palace were enthroned. There are all kinds of supernatural powers related to childbirth and reproduction, as long as the emperor's rain and dew are evenly divided. Naturally, you will sow melons and get melons.

Of course, considering that the royal family cannot be overly inflated, and the mandate of heaven cannot be divided too much, the royal family pays more attention to family planning than ordinary people. Prudent emperors were more likely to have better children, generally keeping the number of heirs within the appropriate number.

Emperor Longping is not lost, there are a total of twelve princes. The eldest son is over twenty years old, and he is the queen's concubine and is named the crown prince. The rest of the sons vary in age, with the youngest being six years old, but most of them are concentrated in the age group of ten to sixteen.

This is, of course, the result of intentional control. The crown prince was the eldest, and he would get involved in politics at an early age, and the age gap between the other brothers was also to avoid inappropriate competition. After the more powerful "one family" is the insurance that the imperial power will not be sidelined, these princes will be able to contribute to political affairs as long as they can maintain loyalty to their eldest brother and the emperor when they become adults, and at least they can become a constraint on the civil official group that controls the heavenly machine.

This is the way of balance, is the means to control the subordinates, although the governance of the world needs scholars, but the royal family can not allow the bureaucrats to set them up, many relatives is one of their means of countermeasures.

Could it be that the young man in front of him could be one of these princes? Ye Xingyuan pondered and meditated, recalling that there was a nobleman in the palace who was born in Dinghu, but he couldn't remember it for a while-of course, it was also possible that Huang Qi was just making an excuse at all, he didn't have any ancestors in Jiangzhou City.

Tang Shiyan still didn't come back to his senses, but he listened to Huang Qi's words politely, so he didn't care anymore, and only smiled bitterly: "The article at the Peach Blossom Literary Conference was made by Brother Ye Xian for me, and these Xu Fu names were earned by him for me, which is really uncountable." ”

Old Tang, your temper will definitely bring you good luck, Ye Xingyuan muttered to himself in his heart. He obviously noticed that Huang Qi's eyes flashed, and Tang Shiyan's outspokenness seemed to add a lot of favorability to him.

I only heard Huang Qi say in an old-fashioned manner: "Tang Shiyan, although you are a little old, you are not old and confused, with your so-called talent who is obsessed with wine, how can you get such an angry text as the release of rent? ”

This person's words are categorical, as if he is very familiar with Tang Shiyan, Tang Shiyan was stunned, and said strangely: "What is the origin of the little brother? How do you know the content of our provincial trial policy?"

Huang Qi snorted and said: "Since you are one of the top ten, the ink scroll is naturally copied and printed and sold in the bookstore. I have a desire to learn, and I have seen it by chance. ”

The booksellers in Xuanyuan World don't have any sense of copyright, especially the Shiwen ink scroll, and it is an honor for the candidates to be selected. Being able to send a pen afterwards is already to give the new man face, but in fact, it is just a meaning.

Sure enough, Tang Shiyan said complacently: "There is a bookstore selling so soon? It's a pity that Brother Ye Xian's wonderful essay was reviewed and sealed for the heavenly machine and sent to Beijing, so we can't see it, it's a pity. ”

Huang Qi nodded seriously, "Exactly, I heard that Ye Gongzi's strategy was reviewed by heaven, and the major booksellers in Jiangzhou City offered a thousand dollars to ask for this article, but where can they get it?"

Ye Xingyuan was accustomed to this situation, and he had encountered this situation three times in a row, and he had no joy or sorrow. However, Huang Qi's words could only deceive Tang Shiyan, less than half a month had passed since the provincial test, and they had left Jiangzhou City for a few days.

Even if the bookseller rushed to work on the starry night and engraved the engraving, it was impossible to print it before then, which means that Huang Qi must have seen Tang Shiyan's strategy through other channels.

This person is young, not a native of Jiangzhou, not well-known, and not a friend in the circle of Xinjuren, so it is difficult to have the opportunity to see the original text that has been copied. Judging from Huang Qi's condescending tone, he doesn't look like a scholar who is dedicated to learning at all, and he is also honest because Tang Shiyan will believe his nonsense.

Since Huang Qi didn't want to reveal his identity, Ye Xingyuan didn't want to debunk it, he was still thinking about why Huang Qi was in Jiangzhou and why he chose to return to Beijing on the same boat with them.

The royal family is born smart, blessed by the mandate of heaven, and learning everything is a matter of learning and refinement. The so-called geniuses of mortals are nothing compared to the children of the royal family, and it is not surprising that they are involved in political affairs at this age and begin to intervene in the court.

There were major events in Dinghu Province in a row, first a monster pretended to be an official of the imperial court to deceive, but he pretended to be for several years, and almost turned a county into the territory of the demon clan silently, and the imperial court was naturally furious.

Later, there was a rebellion among the displaced people, but fortunately they were able to work for relief and open a long canal from north to south, which is another immortal achievement. As for the reappearance of auspiciousness, compared with the previous two major events, it seems a little insignificant.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the imperial court sent a prince to secretly visit and personally visit the scene to learn the truth about Dinghu Province.

Ye Xingyuan was more concerned about why Huang Qi would go back with them, could it be that his actions had already attracted the attention of the royal family? Before he faced the saint, he actually crossed the same boat with a prince, this was a fate that he didn't want.

The situation is already very complicated, and Ye Xingyuan's way of dealing with things has always been to simplify and simplify, simplify the complicated contradictions into one, outline the lead, outline the outline, grasp the key points in one fell swoop, and do not want to have more branches.

Just like the loss of treasure in the Dragon Palace, the true or false knowledge of the county, or the civil unrest in the province, Ye Xingyuan is all one idea. Xianxiangrui's entry into Beijing is already a convenient road outside the right path of the imperial examination, and it is really unwise to provoke a prince with unknown intentions in this situation. Ye Xingyuan has the heart to stay away, but everyone is on the same official ship, where can they avoid it?

Since they met on this day, Huang Qi seems to have taken the initiative to stick to Ye Xingyuan and Tang Shiyan, and they came to talk every day. Tang Shiyan didn't know what was going on, and when he saw that he was extraordinary and knowledgeable, he didn't care about his rude speech at the beginning.

And Huang Qi also restrained his attitude, deliberately tactful, and the two formed a New Year's friendship, eager to push the cup and change the lamp every day.

Ye Xingyuan watched them drink in a big bowl, talked about Fengyue, and sweated for Lao Tang, but it was not easy to say it directly, and he looked for opportunities to hint explicitly several times, but Tang Shiyan was a solid-eyed elm pimple, and he didn't suspect it at all.

Ye Xingyuan could only let him ask for more blessings, maybe His Royal Highness the Prince liked this kind of informal exchange? Hearing them discuss with great interest the topic of Jiangzhou, Hanjiang Qinglou and the Rouge of the capital, Ye Xingyuan felt that he might be worrying in vain. (To be continued......)
