It was not that Fang Zhengzheng had never thought about giving up, but when he thought about the expectant expressions of the villagers and Qin Xuelian when he left Beishan Village this time, he felt that if he really went back like this, he would be disappointed. ☆→☆→,
That feeling is probably more uncomfortable than death.
In addition, if you take a step back, will you really be able to withdraw
A person takes a breath of life, and a Buddha fights for a stick of incense. Fang Zhengzheng felt that he could not give up, but he would not just stretch his head and hit the tip of the gun.
"Why do you think Prince Duan wants to prevent me from passing the imperial examination?" Fang Zhengzheng is a little bit confused. What kind of grudges does he have with this Prince Duan? Speaking of which, he has never even met, right
"It probably has something to do with Chi Guyan." Yan Xiu replied.
"Jealous?" Fang Zhengzheng felt that this reason was too far-fetched.
"There are some connections, but the more important thing is that it is related to the Holy Word of Heaven. You should have heard of the Holy Word of Heaven two years later!"
"Well, the Shuanglongs are number one, and they are amazing geniuses. If they get them, can they bring peace to the world? However, doesn't this holy word refer to Chi Guyan?" Fang Zhengzheng still doesn't quite understand.
"Yes, King Duan thinks it is Chi Guyan, and the prince also thinks it is Chi Guyan. Even the current emperor has personally claimed that this person is Chi Guyan. But what if you defeat her?"
"I defeated Chi Guyan? Haha... It's not possible, right?" Although Fang Zhengzheng had said this at the banquet, it was just a stopgap measure. If he really wanted to defeat Chi Guyan, he felt that it was not possible. .
"Yes, everyone thinks it is impossible, but now you are Amaterasu, and you are the second person in the entire Daxia Dynasty to have Amaterasu under the age of fifteen after Chi Guyan! What do you think everyone will think? ?" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengyi.
Yan Xiu, who was born in a famous family, although he did not compete for the court, he understood the structure and psychology of the court very clearly.
"..." Fang Zhengzheng seemed to understand: "Do you think I shouldn't be Amaterasu?"
"At least you should take Amaterasu after the imperial examination, because once you pass the imperial examination, you will be qualified to enter the imperial government. After you have a formal official position, many people will have concerns." Yan Xiu explained .
"So. What you mean is that they don't want me to join the court as an official?" Fang Zhengzheng understood the meaning of Yan Xiu's words. This is like the difference between killing civilians and killing officials. If it is just ordinary civilians, then the people who care will naturally It will be less, but if an official is killed. Then the connection in the middle will be much deeper.
In the ancient times of his previous life, once a court official was killed, it might even shock the emperor.
"Yes, at least I don't think King Duan wants you to join the court as an official!" Yan Xiu nodded.
"I understand, it means that if I want to survive, I must first pass the imperial examination, and then successfully enter the imperial government as an official, so that they will take care of it?"
"That's what it means!"
"You are really standing on the cusp of the storm!" Fang Zhengzheng only now knew what he had done at the banquet. How big of a trap has been dug.
If he waits for the challenge to fail two years later, perhaps he won't be in too much trouble, but once he breaks through Amaterasu, he will be truly involved in this storm.
Even if you don't want to, all kinds of troubles will definitely come one after another. In this case, there is no point in blindly escaping, you can only fight. Go and change it!
"You just said that King Duan is mainly in charge of the military on weekdays. So, who is going to be in charge of political affairs?" Fang Zhengzheng felt that if he wanted to change, at least he should first know who he was.
"Except for the current emperor, the prince has more opportunities to take charge of the court." Yan Xiu replied.
"Prince? Prince Duan..." Fang Zhengzheng had seen some fights for power in the court before, but he didn't expect that he would be bumped into this time.
It's a pity that this world of ours is not the history of the past. Otherwise, we would know who the real dragon emperor will be in the future, and just pounce on him to show his integrity.
But now, I have no idea at all...
How to play this
All right. Since we don’t know, we can only seek victory steadily and stay neutral first.
At this point, Fang Zhengzheng still has some ideas. The battle for the right to inherit the throne in the court is too fierce. If you step into it too early, you will get stuck in it and be unable to extricate yourself.
If you can always remain neutral, that is the best policy.
"Do you think it would be more beneficial to me if the prince is the main author?" Fang Zhengzheng thought for a while and then continued to ask.
"At least it should be better than King Duan." Yan Xiu thought for a while and replied.
"So, is there any way for the prince to fight for the title of the chief writer of this imperial examination?" Fang Zhengzheng didn't know much about things above the imperial court.
"If the prince knows about your Amaterasu, I think the prince can guess the intention of King Duan to be the chief writer of the imperial examination. Then, he will at least have a hand in it. However, King Duan left Jinlin City one day earlier than us. With his foot power, we simply can't catch up with him. What's more, even if we catch up, we can't be the first to let the prince know the news about your Amaterasu." Yan Xiu looked a little helpless.
"If we just let the prince know the news about Amaterasu, it won't be too difficult!" Fang Zhengzheng heard Yan Xiu's analysis and suddenly thought of a person in his mind.
"Do you have a way?"
"Um!"
"what way?"
"Propaganda, massive publicity! As long as I can find one person, I believe she will be able to spread this news to the entire Daxia Dynasty in the shortest possible time!"
"Do you want everyone in the Daxia Dynasty to know about your Amaterasu?"
"Yes, since we have to know sooner or later, it is better to simply expand the influence of this news, and then use this matter to explore the road."
"you mean?"
"We already know Prince Duan's heart, but I don't know much about the prince's heart. In addition, there is another person's heart that I don't know either!"
"Whose heart?"
"Sacred Heart!"
"Sacred Heart?!"
…
Fang Zhengyi and Yan Xiu walked forward and soon arrived at the county town closest to Jinlin City. Because they were riding snow dragon horses, the guards at the city gate looked extremely respectful.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Su Jiu dressed as a servant waiting in front.
"Ajiu has met Young Master Fang!" When Su Jiuyi saw Fang Zhengzheng, it was like seeing a relative, with a bright smile on his face.
"Su Jiu? Aren't you in Xinhe Mansion? Why are you here?" Fang Zhengzheng was just thinking about finding Wu Yu'er when he met Su Jiu at the gate of the city. This was really too much of a coincidence, which made him a little confused. Confuse.
"The head of the family knows that Young Master Fang Amaterasu. Therefore, I have been specially ordered to come here to congratulate Young Master Fang." Su Jiu seemed to have guessed that Fang Zhengzheng would ask this question, and immediately explained.
"Have you always been here?" Fang Zhengzheng really started to understand at this time.
I only had Amaterasu yesterday, and. She was in the Shenhou Mansion in Golden Scale City. Under such circumstances, Wu Yu'er could still know the news about her Amaterasu and arranged for Su Jiuhou to wait here.
So…
There is only one possibility, first. She had arranged for Su Jiu to wait near Jinlin City a long time ago. Secondly, her information network could even reach Shenhou Mansion.
"Before yesterday, I was in Jinlin City. After the master knew about Young Master Amaterasu, he asked me to leave Jinlin City and wait outside. Therefore, I just arrived here not long ago." Su Jiu shook her head.
"So that's it. It just so happens that I have something to ask Wu Yu'er. Is she here?" Fang Zhengzheng nodded.
"The master has rushed to Yanjing City overnight. If you have anything to do, young master, you can just ask me to do it!" Su Jiu replied respectfully.
"Wu Yu'er went to Yan Jing City?" Fang Zhengzheng nodded. He didn't know Wu Yu'er's purpose of going to Yan Jing City, but he didn't ask more: "I want you to spread the news about my Amaterasu. !”
"How far do you want to spread the message, Master?"
"Imperial Capital Yanjing!"
"It will take at least three days to reach Yanjing!"
"Well, it shouldn't be a problem for three days, but I have a request."
"Sir, please tell me."
"I want as many people as possible to know about this."
"I understand. Don't worry, young master." Su Jiu immediately patted her chest and assured.
"So, where is the silver coin that Wu Yu'er gave me to congratulate me?"
"Master, won't you reward me?" Su Jiu looked expectant.
"What do you think?"
"Haha... Ah Jiu is joking with the young master. Here is a thousand taels of silver prepared by the master for the young master. Please accept it with pleasure!" Su Jiu immediately laughed.
"One thousand taels? You are as black as your boss. Here are one hundred taels, I'll give it to you!" Fang Zhengzheng took the banknote handed over by Su Jiu very politely and put it directly into the breastplate.
Then, he took out a hundred taels of silver note from his arms and threw it out.
"Thank you, Master!"
…
At dusk two months later, the red sun had gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the tall city walls of Yanjing, the imperial capital. The city wall was dyed with a golden red color.
At a glance, the entire Yanjing City looked like a prostrate beast, erupting with a shocking momentum.
Although it was almost dusk, people were still coming and going on the official road leading to the imperial capital Yanjing. The prosperity of the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty was the highest in the country.
The clear water in the wide moat made a gurgling sound.
Rows of sergeants holding long guns and wearing bright armor were patrolling back and forth on the city wall. Each sergeant had a solemn and solemn look on his face.
This is the imperial capital of the Daxia Dynasty, and it is also the best demonstration of the strength of the Daxia Dynasty.
Majestic and sacred.
However, no matter how majestic and sacred a place is, there will always be some misfits. For example, at the city gate now, a young man is greeted, wearing a blue and long gown, fluttering gently in the evening breeze.
This is a good style.
Unfortunately…
There was always a trace of laziness on the young man's face, and his body was lying on the horse. If he hadn't stepped off the snow dragon colt, it would have been an extremely well-trained war horse.
I am afraid that no one will doubt that this young man will definitely fall off the horse in his current posture.
But a young man in colorful clothes walking side by side with the young man in blue shirt was obviously too serious, but the expression on his face was too serious.
On the contrary, it makes people feel a little indifferent, as if they are rejecting others and thousands of miles away.
No one would think that it was possible for two people like this to walk together, but in fact, they walked together like this, and always maintained the same speed. (To be continued.)
