The courtiers are afraid of a young man
This seems a bit unreasonable, but if this young man's surname is Nangong, it would be somewhat understandable, because the Nangong family has a peerless genius. ◎,
A genius who is even as famous as Chi Guyan.
He is the most talented man in the Great Xia Dynasty, Nangong Hao.
As for the young man in front of him, his name is Nangong Mu, and he is Nangong Hao's younger brother.
…
Fang Zhengyi and Yan Xiu rode back to the inn on the snow dragon pony. When they tied up the horses and came out, they clearly felt that there were more pedestrians on the street than usual, and most of them were walking in the same direction.
That's the direction, naturally, to the Royal Academy.
Today is the day when the results of the literary test are released. The whole city of Yanjing is a little depressed and tense, but Fang Zhengzheng seems to be an exception. He pays attention to letting nature take its course.
Yan Xiu also didn't show too much nervousness. He spent more time thinking. From the end of the literary test to now, he has been thinking and trying.
Along the way, neither of them spoke much.
When Fang Zhengyi and Yan Xiu appeared side by side at the entrance of the Royal Academy, at a glance, there was only a dark mass of human heads. Not to mention the figures, even the guards at the gate were blocked.
All the commanding heights at the entrance to the Imperial Academy were crowded with people.
Fang Zhengzheng was really shocked when he saw this scene. He remembered that there were not so many people when the literary test started
So, where did these people come from
When thinking this way, Fang Zhengzheng subconsciously scanned the surrounding crowd, and then he discovered that in addition to the candidates, there were also some courtiers in official uniforms mixed in among them.
There were even some passing vendors who came to join in the fun.
There is no need to doubt that the release of the results of the literary test can indeed be regarded as one of the grand events of the Great Xia Dynasty, both for the courtiers and the people. All are extremely concerned.
Fang Zhengzheng walked leisurely, humming a small tune, scanning the crowd, looking for the few remaining spots.
but. When people discovered him and Yan Xiu, the whole crowd suddenly became excited.
This made Fang Zhengzheng somewhat confused. He remembered that the last time he took the literary test, he and Yan Xiu were once overshadowed by the various lights in Yanjing City.
But today…
It seems a little special.
Of course, he didn't know that during the three days he left, he had become the most popular person in the streets of Yanjing City. It is a topic that no one knows and talks about in all the houses.
Because what he created was history. No matter what method Fang Zhengyi used, no matter whether Fang Zhengzhi scribbled or not, the fact was that he broke a rule that no one had broken for thousands of years.
All the people turned their heads to the same position, and countless pairs of eyes were uniformly fixed on Fang Zhengyi at this moment.
"Is it Fang Zhengzheng?!"
"It's finally here. What do you think he will look like when he sees that he failed?"
"I don't think he will fail the exam. If he can get the first place in the literary list in the Xinhe Prefecture examination, there is still a chance that he can at least get a second place in the imperial examination, right?"
"Haven't you heard the analysis of 'Yu Xiang'?"
“What are you talking about: greed for too much without specialization?”
"That's right, if Fang Zhengzheng had answered the literary test of the imperial examination seriously, he might have had a chance to win a B-list position, but it's a pity that he finished all six test papers. Such vain people are only looking for temporary success. With fame and fortune, it is naturally impossible to have time to examine and think about it.”
"Brother Tang has unique vision, I admire him!"
The candidates were talking quietly one by one. They were all looking forward to seeing Fang Zhengzheng's expression when he failed. This may be a kind of jealousy from the heart.
Just like everyone is used to going out with clothes on, suddenly one day, a person preached that if you go out without clothes, you can feel the embrace of nature more.
So…
This person would either be beaten to death or drowned in spit.
As for Fang Zhengzheng's actions this time. Not only did it break a thought that people had cultivated for a long time, but it also trampled on the entire history since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.
What he did was something that no one had ever done since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.
In two hours, I finished writing six test papers.
What if something like this happened? Doesn't that mean he is better than Chi Guyan and Nangong Hao
Because, even in the last session. Nangong Hao won the first place in the imperial examination, and the last time when Chi Guyan won the first place in the double list, such a thing had never happened.
No one thought this was possible.
Moreover, it happened to a commoner in a mountain village who had never entered a Taoist hall. The courtiers did not believe it, and the children of the aristocratic family did not believe it even more.
Even those who were born as commoners like Fang Zhengzheng couldn't believe it.
Fang Zhengzheng looked at the gazes directed at him, feeling a little baffled, but at this moment, the crowd suddenly started to commotion.
A young man in white attire, escorted by two maids in red and green dresses, forced his way through the crowd and walked towards Fang Zhengzheng's position.
As a result, the crowd that had originally blocked the entrance to the Royal Academy was somewhat unable to retreat, and some people who were slower to respond were pushed to the ground.
As a result, among the quiet discussions, there were some unharmonious shouts and curses.
"You don't have eyes?!"
"Legs, legs...my legs!"
"Oh, my eldest sister, you are sitting on my face!"
“…”
Fang Zhengzheng, who was extremely confused, soon heard the last scream. The sour feeling of sitting on his face still made him feel a little curious.
So he began to look for the source of the sound in the crowd.
but…
Unfortunately, before he could find it, a figure had already blocked his sight, and there were two people standing on the left and right of this figure.
It was Su Donglin and two maids.
Fang Zhengzheng could not look around the three people in front of him, so he glanced at the three people in front of him helplessly. However, he did not look at Su Donglin in the middle.
Instead, he was looking at the two maids on the left and right of Su Donglin.
The appearance of the two maids was extremely delicate, and their age could not be discerned. They both had a long sword slung across their backs. The most special thing about the eyes of the two maids was that they were as sharp as two swords hidden in their scabbards.
"It's the sword maid." Yan Xiu spoke at this time. He also did not look at Su Donglin, but looked at the two maids like Fang Zhengzheng.
This feeling of being ignored obviously made Su Donglin's face look a little bad, and his already fair face suddenly became a little colder.
"Are you Fang Zhengyi?" Su Donglin asked.
"Is something wrong?" When Fang Zhengzheng heard Su Donglin's words, he looked at Su Donglin helplessly.
Su Donglin looked at Fang Zhengzheng's helpless expression, and something in his heart was stabbed again, and the coldness on his face became even stronger.
"Do you know who I hate the most? It's people like you who are greedy for vanity and seek fame. But I am different from people like you. I rely on my strength. Soon, my name will be engraved on the royal palace. The highest point on the academy's ranking list is a place you can never reach!" Su Donglin looked at Fang Zhengzheng, his eyes full of arrogance.
Logically speaking, he had no grudge against Fang Zhengyi, but in the three days after the imperial examination, all the people talking in the streets and alleys of Yanjing City were Fang Zhengyi.
But he, who thought he would be able to enjoy the brightest light after the imperial examination, was forgotten by everyone.
This feeling is like the pleasure of knowing that he is the one getting married, but when he is about to enter the bridal chamber, he finds that someone has already arrived first.
How can I bear it
Fang Zhengzheng didn't know what Su Donglin was thinking. He felt that what happened in front of him was a bit sudden. He didn't provoke anyone, so someone jumped out and said that he was not capable and that he was stronger.
able…
Come on if you can? !
"Have you heard a sentence?" Fang Zhengzhi did not answer Su Donglin's words, but asked...
"What words?"
"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river."
"You mean you're still young?" Su Donglin looked contemptuous.
"No, what I mean is... I am Hedong and you are Hexi. If you want to go up, please wait another thirty years." Fang Zhengzheng replied very calmly.
"You...arrogant!" Su Donglin's expression changed, his eyes widened suddenly, and the aura on his body suddenly surged, and a turbulent aura like an ocean surged out of his body.
With his strength at the late stage of Amaterasu, he has enough confidence against a person who has just stepped into Amaterasu, and the other person will lower his head in an instant.
However, he was disappointed.
Fang Zhengzheng didn't seem to feel the pressure on him at all.
Instead, he looked at Su Donglin with an innocent face, feeling like a small boat in the storm, constantly turbulent with the momentum, but just floating on the water.
"Master, please don't make trouble!" At this moment, the maid in a red dress suddenly spoke. Her voice was not too loud, but there was an inexplicable edge to it.
"Hmph! I'm waiting for you to be lucky enough to pass the literary test!" Su Donglin was stopped by the maid next to him. Instead of immediately reprimanding the maid for being unreasonable like other children from aristocratic families, Su Donglin lost his momentum.
Calm was restored.
Fang Zhengyi's eyes bypassed Su Donglin again and looked at the maid in red dress. He could feel that the status of these two maids was unusual because their strength was also extraordinary.
Su Donglin felt the sting of being ignored again, and the light in his eyes flashed, but he did not argue with Fang Zhengzheng anymore because the door of the Royal Academy had already opened.
Two rows of sergeants wearing bright armor quickly walked out of the gate.
When the people who had gathered in front of the gate saw the sergeants coming out, they immediately stepped back and made way for a passage from the imperial academy gate to the stone.
