Chapter 172: Strange Calm
"Futai-sama, of course. Tang Shiyan saw the posts of the three adults, and while he was envious, he also enthusiastically helped Ye Xingyuan to give him ideas, "Although the two adults of Fantai and Zhentai have their own lines in the province, they are the highest grade of Futai after all. Don't you see Futai returning to the city, and the lord of the domain will stop and retreat?"
But before the words came out, he hesitated again, and hesitated: "It's just that this person is ruthless, and he has a long-standing enmity with you, this time he has shown favor to you is already a stone to ask for directions, if you ignore it, I'm afraid he has another means."
The lord of the clan has more incense with us, if this credit is given to him. Combined with the previous cash-for-work work, he said that he would not have to be promoted to a liter, and it is unknown to become a governor, and he is also the most grateful to us. ”
The situation in Dinghu Province is complicated, Zhentai has been operating for a long time, the forces are intertwined, and the feudal tais control civil affairs, and they also have their own set of teams. Although the grade of Futai is high, it cannot cover the sky with one hand.
So this is the reason why Ye Xingyuan didn't make a decision for a long time, he spent so much effort to knead the homeless people and the Raven God Sect together, and finally turned the tide lightly, so that all parties could reap a satisfactory result. He can keep a low profile, but in this matter, he has to reap enough benefits.
Ye Xingyuan said with a smile: "Xiangrui will be reported to the imperial court, and when the feedback comes back, it will take some time." This time should be the most anxious time for several adults, but I still have to be patient for a while. ”
He summoned the temple blessing and instructed, "If you go back to these three adults separately for me, you will say that I am overworked and sick, and I should rest in the temple for a few days, and then visit again in the future." ”
Tang Shiyan gasped and said, "You are really calm, you dare to wait for your lords at this time, this is sincerely to wait for the price and sell?"
Ye Xingyuan glanced at him and said indifferently: "Originally, I didn't want to do this, but I have come to this point, so naturally I can only push the boat down the river, and I am helpless." ”
Tang Shiyan was speechless. Ye Xingyuan's courage is not simple, which show dares to take such a big deal against the three highest officials in the province at the same time? Ye Xingyuan is the only one.
As Tang Shiyan expected, Ye Xingyuan was thinking about waiting for the price to sell, and at this critical moment, it was the best moment for him to raise the price. It would be best if Ye Xingyuan stayed in Danyuan County and didn't come back, but now that he is back, he has no choice but to pretend to be sick again.
Ye Xingyuan was sick again, and when the news was fed back to the three adults, they could only smile bitterly. This kid really didn't want to spend a little more brains, and he didn't even bother to think of a new excuse. It's naked, naked, naked.
However, now they can't do anything about Ye Xingyuan, and now this little show is a gift package in their eyes, and it is a fragrant bait that everyone is vying for.
Master Pan remembered that he had to look at the thatched house when he saw a fake sage, and he was also used to Ye Xingyuan's style of acting. He pondered for a while and asked Master Jin: "Now that the chaos of the displaced people has subsided, and there is a crow god Xiangrui, what is Ye Gongzi's idea when he returns to the provincial capital?"
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. Ye Xingyuan's attitude was obviously waiting for a few adults to give him conditions. This man is so young, and somehow so shrewd.
Master Jin scratched his head and said, "Ye Gongzi is a person of great wisdom, and his mind is difficult to guess. He doesn't pay much attention to money and the like. However, according to the students, he has always avoided extraneous complications, kept a low profile, and devoted himself to only studying poetry and books. I'm afraid that the most important thing is the fame of the reader. ”
Master Pan nodded, the right way for scholars is the imperial examination, and other false names are like floating clouds. Then he pondered and said: "Yes, he pushed Tang Shiyan out before, and he didn't want to take credit." This time, the homeless people were in turmoil, and it was because he was persecuted too much that he had to solve it.
Before Ye Gongzi went to Danyuan County, he didn't discuss with us, and he didn't ask for any conditions, but I was afraid that he had such an idea a long time ago, and this reading popularity festival was respectable. In that case, how can we help him in the provincial examination? Give him a meritorious name?"
Master Jin thought for a while and said, "I am afraid that it is not enough to raise people's fame, with Ye Gongzi's ability, as long as no one makes trouble, his reputation is stable." ”
Ye Xingyuan has no desires and no desires, he just wants to take the right path in the provincial examination, but it is difficult to give him benefits in this matter, which is tricky.
At the same time, Master Wan was also discussing with his henchman Master Diao, "Ye Xingyuan is only famous. In this case, only if you want to take it first, let him know that it is powerful, then can you know the preciousness of lifting people. ”
Master Diao's eyes flickered, and he said with a wicked smile: "What the adults said is very true, it's just that Ye Xingyuan is stubborn and wants to stop him, but he can't be an adult, and he can't let him find out that this matter is related to an adult."
Before Wang Xuezheng made that scientific expedition, I was afraid that Ye Xingyuan still had a grudge against him, and the adults were originally not dealing with Ye Xingyuan, if he made a grudge, he was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed. ”
Wan Daren laughed, "This is natural, this official has his own opinions, he has the patience to sit firmly in Diaoyutai, is it better for a few of us to be as good as him?"
The next thing is the time period to fight patience, the matter of auspicious rui has been reported to the imperial court, and the next thing is to wait for the instructions of Jingzhong to escort the crow god Xiangrui into Beijing. There is still a long time to go, and the provincial test is not far off. To make a fuss here to force Ye Xingyuan to comply, if it is done properly, it is not without opportunities.
So in the next few days, the wind was calm, Ye Xingyuan said that he was sick, but the three adults in the province did not rush to urge, and there was a strange calm in the provincial capital for a while.
There was no news for a few days, and to Ye Xingyuan's surprise, he was not flustered, he just read in peace and waited for the changes. Only Tang Shiyan was a little restless, running back and forth, inquiring about the news, but there was no reply.
The Raven God Cult was established, and the auspicious things were spread in the provincial capital, and the incense of the Crow Temple gradually flourished, and it was no longer peaceful in the past. Miao Zhu and the lady were naturally excited, and thanked Ye Xingyuan for their kindness, and the temple Zhu lady did not care about the embarrassment, and personally served Ye Xingyuan's daily life, not daring to have any more evil thoughts.
As the provincial test is getting closer and closer, there are more and more talented people who come to the provincial capital in advance, and the topic of the chaos of the displaced people in Jiangzhou City and the auspicious spirit of the crow god gradually subsided, and more people began to discuss the provincial test.
The provincial examination has been merged, and the number of admission places has increased greatly, and there are more talents who have come to the examination than in previous years. And this time, Xuezheng conducted a scientific examination and eliminated most of this year's rookie talents, and this provincial examination is an excellent opportunity for the old talents who have not won for many years.
It is precisely because of this that the rookies who have passed the scientific examination have been more feared. On this day, Ye Xingyuan received another post, but this time it was not from the three adults, but a gathering of talents who entered the provincial capital to catch the exam.
Tang Shiyan also received the invitation, and said to Ye Xingyuan with a smile: "It seems that someone wants to explore your hypocrisy, this kind of gathering is not very interesting, but Brother Xian, your poetry is amazing, and you have great talent, you might as well go to the audience to suppress the audience, and you can shake your majesty." ”
Ye Xingyuan didn't want to go, but after listening to Tang Shiyan's words, he suddenly felt something, smiled and nodded, "In that case, why don't we go and see what talents have been brought together in this provincial test." (To be continued......)
