Chapter 552: One Wrong Step Comes with Regret
"Sir!"
Tian Qi was startled, hurriedly went up to support Tian Youqing, stretched out his hand and pinched hard in the middle of the other party, Tian Youqing trembled, and slowly opened his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Qi turned his head and yelled, "Quick!
As soon as the voice fell, a man who looked like a famous man stepped forward, his muscles and bones trembled as he walked, and then he put his hand on Tian Youqing's chest, and he vomited his strength, and shook it several times, dissipating the gloomy qi in Tian Youqing's chest, so that the latter could ease up.
"Whew~"
With a long breath, Tian Youqing sat up, glanced at Tian Qi, and said, "It seems that the news has not had time to inform Lai San." β
Tian Qi had already thought about this problem, and when he heard the words, he said: "Master, I thought about it for a while, and I probably have an idea, I estimate that we are overestimating Na Lai San." β
"Hmm, what does this mean?" Tian Youqing was slightly stunned and asked with a frown.
"Master, you are an official of the imperial court, the structure of the imperial court is perfect, an order is issued, passed down layer by layer, and people can perform their duties, but what is Lai San? But Xingjing is a splash of skin, relying on some brothers, only have confidence, in the final analysis, it is just a rabble, even if the order is sent to him and falls into his hands, but his subordinates do not have a perfect organizational structure, and the upper and lower subordinates may not be clear, how can it be conveyed to the ears of the rumor-mongers?"
"You mean?" Tian Youqing's heart moved.
Tian Qi nodded and said, "I heard that those rumor-mongers are scattered in the crowd and there is no one to coordinate and command, in this case, how to convey the order to the people? Master don't worry, after all, now there is only fraud in the rumors, and the name of the person who cheats has not yet been passed out, as long as there is no problem on the rest side......"
His words made Tian Youqing's heart come back again, but before he finished speaking, there was a sound of his clothes breaking through the air outside the door, and he saw a strong man falling in the air, and he was actually a high-ranking martial arts master!
After this person landed, he clasped his fists and said urgently to the house: "Master! The unsuccessful candidates have stormed the Guozijian! The scene is chaotic! Some soldiers have been seriously injured by the trampling. The gates were smashed and smashed! There was also a riot on the side of the Gongyuan......
"What?" Tian Youqing, who had just recovered his breath, was startled again. Cold sweat flowed down again, and his body shook slightly, but he did not faint again.
"Looks like it's not going to be good. A little cold glint flashed in Tian Youqing's eyes, "Those candidates." It's all lifting people themselves. has a status. Even if you fail the imperial examination, you will be a gentry when you go back, as long as your mind is normal. They would not have done such a thing, attacking the national prison and wounding soldiers, this is ruining their own future! Is there no one who can figure it out? The person who takes the lead will not have a good end, and scholars who make trouble often let others come forward and wait for the opportunity to move, and they will not be so impulsive!"
Tian Qi was also taken aback by this news, asked a few more questions, confirmed it repeatedly, and frowned after the most reluctance: "Do you think that the law does not blame the public?"
"There may be such a reason, but it cannot be ruled out that some people want to be behind. Tian Youqing calmed himself down, thinking of a person, "Didn't Pan Xiang say that he also had arrangements?" Maybe this matter came from him, but I don't know if he knew about Qiu Yan's vision." β
"Pan Xiang?" Tian Qi's eyelids jumped, "The master once told Lai San that things should be made bigger, but they can't mess up, they can lead the unsuccessful candidates to parade through the streets, but they can't impact the government, and if they want to come to Pan Xiang, they also know that they are powerful, even if they don't receive news from Qiu Yan, they won't be so impulsive." β
"That's not good. Tian Youqing shook his head, "This incident was supposed to hit the old party, but if there is an opportunity, I don't think Pan Xiang will mind moving his position in the new party." β
Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "That Qiu Yan is really not simple, I only think he is a nobody, at most he has some connections with the old party, but now he is forcing me to stop planning for the rest of my life, and it may even cause a fight within the new party, this person is ......"
He sighed: "If you have the chance, you can meet him and see what this visionary is like." β
Tian Qi's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Master, what should I do now?" Since the student who has fallen off the list has already attacked the Guozi Prison, the matter will not be calmed down, do you want to throw Na Lai San out of the palace to atone for the crime?"
As a staff member, Tian Qi can analyze things and come up with ideas, but when it comes to real decision-making, it is still up to Tian Youqing to decide it himself.
"Throw Lai San out of the gang to atone for the crime?" Tian Youqing recalled Lai San's actions and shook his head, "That person is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is suspected of being a mad dog, and if you use him to atone for the crime, you can't beat him to death with a rod, and you will inevitably cause a commotion." β
The truth in this, Tian Qi can understand it with a little thought.
Officialdom acts, many times does not pay attention to evidence and facts, what is needed is a "momentum", Tian Youqing framed Qiu Yan, in order to set off a general trend, against the old party and Ma Yang, when the momentum is together, how can anyone care whether Qiu Yan is wronged or not, and there will be no accountability for this.
But now that the situation is reversed, not to mention taking the opportunity to deal with Ma Yang, just framing Qiu Yan himself may become a crime, if the above wants to investigate thoroughly and involve Tian Youqing, it will be difficult to control the situation.
Tian Youqing's eyes showed a cold light: "No matter who the person who pushed behind his back, he wants to use this matter to involve me, so the top priority is not to fight back, but to make this matter not thoroughly investigated and close the case quickly!"
Tian Qi's face showed doubts: "Quickly close the case? At present, the candidate's impact on the Guozijian is already a major matter, and it will inevitably be protracted if it is investigated!"
Tian Youqing shook his head and said: "If the unsuccessful candidates have nothing to do, it will naturally be protracted, because they have to investigate the implication behind it, but if what they say is true, the imperial court will definitely deal with the fraudster as soon as possible in order to calm down the grievances!"
"But this cheater doesn't exist, so Qiu Yan doesn't ......" Tian Qi was still puzzled, and suddenly woke up halfway through his words, looked at Tian Youqing, and showed a shocked expression.
"It seems that you have also figured it out, after this matter, I can go to someone to settle the account," Tian Youqing smiled bitterly, "Qiu Yan can't move, this person is too powerful, the two people in history who dye the examination papers had visions on the spot, but when it came to him, he waited until the list was revealed, I don't know if it was deliberately done to lure the snake out of the hole." β
Hearing this, Tian Qi was terrified: "It's unlikely, right? How can he have such ability?"
"Regardless of whether he has the ability to write a vision, it can be seen that this person is knowledgeable, and he will become an official in the future, and I am afraid that there will be some turmoil. Tian Youqing took a deep breath, "However, if he deliberately laid it out, then I have to be careful, otherwise even if the matter in front of me is calmed down, I am afraid that there will be troubles!"
Tian Qi was also worried: "Does Qiu Yan know that this matter is laid out behind the master's back, if he knows Lu Dao......"
Talking and talking, both of them have a strange feeling, one of them is a court official, a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, and the other is a senior official staff, all of whom are usually calculated are court officials, but now they are worried, regretful, and faintly afraid because of a candidate who does not even have an official position!
"In any case, Qiu Yan can't move for the time being, not only can't move, but also try to make friends, I heard that his exam papers are different from the old party, maybe it's a way to attack Ma Yang, okay, let's not talk about it......"
After thinking about it, Tian Youqing instructed: "Go and let it be done over there, copy a few copies of the exam papers that have been tried on the list, and send them quickly, if it is too late, there will be changes, and the people must be selected before the court intervenes!"
"Yes!" Tian Qi knew the difficulty behind this order, but he didn't have the heart to think too much, so he could only mobilize all the news channels and complete the task.
A quarter of an hour later, more than a dozen exam papers were placed on Tian Youqing's desk.
"It's too hasty, that's all for the time being, and the rest will have to wait for a while......" Tian Qi reported to Tian Youqing, who didn't have the heart to listen to it at all, and had already flipped through the exam papers.
On the top, it was Qiu Yan's exam paper.
Of course, these are not originals, but copied out, because of the haste, the notes are scribbled, and there are a lot of typos and scribbles, after a few glances, Tian Youqing's face is cloudy, and Tian Qi is frightened, for fear that there will be any unfavorable words on it.
After a few breaths, Tian Youqing let out a breath and smiled bitterly: "Although it is only a cursory glance, it can also be seen a little clue, it is worthy of the article of the literary dyeing examination paper and the release of the list, if I don't know the origin of it, I will probably think that this Qiu Yan is a disciple of the prince! This person's understanding of the new law and the ills of the imperial court can be described as three points!"
"Is it so powerful?" Tian Qi was startled, he knew very well what this evaluation meant.
"It's a pity, I didn't try to understand this person in advance, so that I was too contemptuous, rashly made enemies, if I knew that this person was talented, I must not act like this, I hope there is still a chance to remedy. Shaking his head, Tian Youqing's heart became more and more remorseful, so he had to put Qiu Yan's exam paper aside and pick up the next one.
"Ye Yun, I have some impression of this name, I didn't expect him to get second," Tian Youqing said while looking at it, "Well, this person is really lucky, what he wrote is a clichΓ© of the old party, but the writing is brilliant, it must be the compromise of the examiners of the two parties, which is why it was ranked second, if it weren't for the first place is a person like Qiu Yan, it would not be strange to get a Huiyuan!"
Tian Qi didn't have the heart to think about this, he had the heart to urge, and he was afraid of messing with Tian Youqing's heart.
His expression fell into Tian Youqing's eyes, making the latter shake his head secretly, if he is anxious, Tian Youqing is really no less than Tian Qi, but the more times like this, the more calm and cautious he must be, otherwise he can only make mistakes again and again, and if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan, and the most important thing now is to find an ideal "exam paper".
Thinking about it, he opened the third exam paper of the class, and this exam paper was written by Wen Zhizhen.
Looking at it, Tian Youqing's eyes lit up: "Good guy, no wonder Wen Zhizhen has become famous recently, this person is really a good scheming and good means, he has a deep understanding of the examiner's preferences and the direction of the imperial court, this exam paper is definitely carefully prepared, relying on figuring out the examiner's mind, so good! This person is not as talented as Qiu Yan, but this paper suppresses the core of the exam!"
As he spoke, he smiled, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more vigorous.
Seeing this expression, Tian Qi's heart also let go. (To be continued......)
