When the voice of the leader of the Imperial Examination Literary Examination spread throughout Yanjing City, several figures in black quickly flashed past the door of Dianmo Building.
The figure passed by in a flash, as if entering a deserted place, and went straight to the top floor of Dianmo Building.
In a classically decorated room on the top floor of Dianmo Building, a woman wearing a black emerald cigarette shirt was sitting behind a book desk, holding a volume of books in her hand.
Compared with last night, there is nothing on the desk now, it is completely empty.
"My lord!" After a while, a voice came from the door of the room, and then a maid in a black dress pushed the door open and entered.
"What's going on?" The woman in the black emerald smoke shirt asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fang and Nangong Hao are tied for the top spot in the literary examination!" The maid in black skirt immediately bowed and replied.
"Tie for the top spot in the literary test?" The woman in the black emerald smoke shirt was obviously slightly surprised.
"Yes, the imperial list has been released, and it has spread throughout Yanjing City. The news has reached the four gates." The maid in black skirt affirmed.
The woman in the black emerald smoked shirt nodded and looked out the window, with a clear flash of brilliance in her eyes: "I really didn't expect that this shameless guy could be tied for the top spot with Nangong Hao! Tied... For him, even Have the rules that have remained unchanged for all previous palace examinations been changed?"
"Lord, what do you want now?"
"Just stick to the plan."
"But... Your Majesty, the Dianmo Tower is the effort of the old master for ten years, and it is also the gathering center of intelligence in the entire Yanjing City. Is it really necessary to..." The mood of the maid in black dress changed slightly, and she was hesitant to speak. end.
"Are you questioning my decision?" The woman in the black emerald smoke shirt looked at the maid in the black skirt and frowned slightly.
"I don't dare!" Upon hearing this, the maid in black skirt immediately fell to her knees and did not dare to say anything more.
"All personnel must leave Beijing within a quarter of an hour."
"yes!"
…
In Yanjing City, in front of the Zhaoxuan Hall, the autumn wind blew, and there was silence.
Holy Master Lin Mubai once again glanced at the talented people below. There was a clear trace of anger on his face, and his aura rose again.
"Where is Fang Zhengzheng?!"
"Your Majesty, I have received news that Mr. Fang wandered around the place of fireworks last night and had sex with a leading figure in the Dianmo Tower. Now I am afraid..." At this moment, a minister finally stood up.
"How is it?" Holy Master Lin Mubai's eyes were slightly stern.
"I'm afraid I haven't gotten up yet."
"Nonsense!"
"I don't think Fang Zhengzheng hasn't gotten up yet, and I think Fang Zhengzheng is probably no longer in Dianmo Tower!" At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards. A figure also walked out among the talented people.
Wearing a gorgeous ink-and-wash attire, she held a fan gently in her hand.
"Yan Xiu?!"
The talents soon discovered that the figure standing out was Yan Xiu.
At the time of the Holy Wrath, the entire entrance of the Zhaoxuan Hall was filled with an aura of oppression. No one would touch the Holy Wrath lightly at such a time, but Yan Xiu still stood up.
Because he is Yan Xiu.
"Mr. Yan, you and Fang Zhengzheng are friends. We all know this. However, this does not mean that you can speak nonsense in front of the Holy One and cover it up!" The minister saw a slight smile on his face when he saw Yan Xiu standing up. Surprised, but not too unexpected.
The other ministers also looked at Yan Xiu at this moment and shook their heads slightly.
"I believe that Fang Zhengzheng is not a person who will be late." Yan Xiu was not shaken by the expressions of the ministers, and there was only a look of affirmation in their expressions.
"Haha... Mr. Yan, if you say it's something else, we may not be able to refute it, but if you say that Fang Zhengyi will not be late, do you think we will believe it?"
"That's right, Mr. Yan, we all know that you have good intentions, but it's just because you were late. Isn't it just once or twice?"
"Master Yan, will you forget the day when Fang Zhengzheng went to the palace with his sword?"
All the ministers laughed when they heard Yan Xiu's words. Will Fang Zhengzheng be late? After coming out of Shengtian World, he received the imperial edict, but said that he was eating steamed buns outside, which made all the civil and military officials wait for half an hour.
Until now, no minister dared to forget this matter.
"Master Yan and Fang Zhengzheng are friends. Since Master Yan said that Fang Zhengzheng is not in Dianmo Tower now, do you have any proof?" The Minister of Rites stood up at this time.
What happened on the day of the horse racing hunt, Fang Zhengzheng had really offended him.
Of course, this was not the main reason why he took the risk to stand up today. The main reason was that he knew a holy order in Fang Zhengzheng's hand.
That was the holy order for Fang Zhengzheng to enter the Ministry of Rites.
He didn't know why the Holy One arranged for Fang Zhengzheng to enter the Ministry of Rites.
However, he knew that if Fang Zhengzheng really entered the Ministry of Rites, only God knew what would happen in the Ministry of Rites.
"No certificate!" Yan Xiu shook his head.
"Since there is no evidence or evidence, Mr. Yan, although he is a world king, has not yet entered the court as an official. If he just stands up without waiting for the order, is there something wrong with the etiquette and law?" The Minister of Rites nodded, and then Continue to ask.
Yan Xiu was silent. Of course he knew that what he had just done was inappropriate. If he pursued the matter further, it would be regarded as disturbing the audience.
But can he not stand up
cannot.
Therefore, he stood up and stood up regardless of the consequences.
"It doesn't matter!" The Holy Lord Lin Mubai looked at Yan Xiu who had fallen silent and waved his hand gently: "Nephew Yan Shi and Fang Zhengzheng have always had a close relationship. I have heard about it for a long time. Today, nephew Yan Shi has come forward. I am really surprised. Not surprising.”
"Your Majesty's holiness has blessed the world!" The Minister of Rites immediately complimented him, and then looked at Yan Xiu again: "Master Yan, your majesty has forgiven you for your disrespect, Master Yan, please go ahead. Back off.”
Yan Xiu looked at the Minister of Rites, and then at the Holy Master Lin Mubai who was sitting on the dragon throne. He tightened the Shanhe Qiankun fan in his hand, and a light of perseverance flashed in his eyes.
"I request you to go find Fang Zhengzheng now. He must have had an accident, that's why he didn't come!"
After saying this sentence, all the civil and military officials were slightly stunned. They didn't expect that Yan Xiu would dare to be so ignorant for Fang Zhengzheng
"Mr. Yan, although you are a nobleman, this is the Zhaoxuan Palace. You must remember your current identity. You are a candidate who is here to listen to the results!"
"Fang Zhengzheng has his own destiny in his affairs. Mr. Yan, you should do your own thing well."
"Master Yan, please go back!"
After being stunned for a moment, all the civil and military officials began to persuade him sternly. They did not want to look at a young man with a bright future. So ruined.
Today, Long Yan is angry. Kuang Sheng is considerate of Yan's face and has already forgiven her once. If he insists again, he may be asking for trouble.
"The common people also think that Fang Zhengzheng will not come without any reason!" At this time. A voice sounded again, and it was even closer to the civil and military officials.
The eyes of all the civil and military officials were focused.
In an instant, everyone focused on a figure at the entrance of Zhaoxuan Hall.
Dressed in white, his face was calm.
He is Nangong Hao. Nangong Hao, the leader of the literary examination this time, has no official or title. However, when he stood at the door of the Imperial Palace and said these words, all the civil and military officials fell silent.
As for the reason for silence.
It was because none of the civil and military officials understood the purpose of Nangong Hao's words.
If Yan Xiu spoke upright for Fang, it would be understandable. But Nangong Hao, why? Aren't they competitors
"Yu Lin Guard!" Holy Master Lin Mubai frowned and looked at Yan Xiu and then at Nangong Hao, who was not far away and looked calm.
"exist!"
"Go to Dian Mo Tower and bring Fang Zhengzheng... back!"
"yes!"
With a reply, several rays of golden light shot out from outside the Zhaoxuan Palace. They were five guards wearing golden armor, heading straight towards the main entrance of the palace at extremely fast speeds.
Yan Xiu looked at the forest guard who was speeding away.
I wanted to say something more, but in the end I didn't speak again. He just bowed towards the Holy One and prepared to return to his original position.
"Nephew Yan, there is no need to stand back. Come to the front." The face of the Holy Master Lin Mubai seemed to relax a little at this moment, and he waved gently towards Yan Xiu.
"Come to the front?"
"What does the emperor mean by this?"
"Aren't we announcing the results now? Could it be that... "
All the civil and military officials were a little confused when they heard the words of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai. Then, a possibility flashed through his mind quickly.
Next.
The expressions of the civil and military officials looking at the Minister of Rites were somewhat strange.
Because they all guessed who was ranked third in the imperial examination. If Yan Xiu only has one hereditary title, then it means nothing.
But if Yan Xiu won the third place in the palace examination.
That identity and status are completely different.
The other talented people also looked surprised when they heard the words of the Holy Master Lin Mubai. The emperor called Yan Xiu forward. Could it be that Yan Xiu got the third place in the palace examination
How can this be!
It seems that Yan Xiu has not received the holy edict either!
"Third place in the Literary Examination this time, Yan Xiu!" The Holy Master Lin Mubai looked at Yan Xiu in the distance with a friendly smile on his face.
"Is it really Yan Xiu?!"
"Yan Xiu is the third best in the Literary Examination of the Palace Examination!"
"Isn't it incredible? Three people who have not received the imperial edict have won the top three in the palace examination?"
All the talented people were extremely shocked. If we say the biggest surprise before the announcement was that Nangong Hao, Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu did not receive the imperial edict.
So, after the announcement of the results, three people won the top three in the palace examination, which is definitely an accident among accidents.
This is simply another village with dark flowers and bright flowers!
Wu Feng's face turned completely pale at this moment. Yan Xiu won the third place? !
If anything was the biggest blow to Wu Feng, it was definitely not that Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzheng snatched his first place, but that Yan Xiu won the third place.
Once upon a time, when he was holding a scroll and reading aloud, Yan Xiu was just a crying baby in front of him.
Once upon a time, when he easily chopped down a small tree with one palm, Yan Xiu was sitting on a stone stool holding a small bowl and looking at him with envy.
Once upon a time, he was proud to be a disciple of the Four Saints, and his favorite thing to do was to ask when the two families were getting together: "Master Yan, how do you feel about studying?"
"Master Yan, how is your entry? Have you made any breakthroughs? Do you want me to give you some advice?"
"Master Yan, you can't advance in practice in a hurry, you have to work steadily step by step!"
More than ten years have passed.
That former baby, that former child, that young boy who was once scolded by him without saying a word, stepped on him severely and mercilessly in this palace examination.
Why is this happening!
Didn’t he receive the imperial edict? !
Not convinced!
Wu Feng was not convinced.
However, the reality is that Yan Xiu walked up to him at this time, and then bowed lightly: "Your Majesty Yan Xiu, thank you for your grace!"
"Third place in the Literary Examination, Yan Xiu!"
"Third place in the Literary Examination, Yan Xiu!"
"Third A in the Literary Examination of the Palace Examination..."
As Yan Xiu thanked him, each voice echoed in the palace. In an instant, it was transmitted to the main entrance of the palace, and then to the four gates of Yanjing City by the golden armored guards.
The entire Yanjing City was boiling again.
"Yan Xiu is the third one?"
"Yan Xiu is only sixteen years old this year!"
"Amazing!"
Just when everyone in Yanjing City was talking about the palace examination, a wisp of fireworks really came out from the most lively street in Yanjing City, the Bali Fireworks Land!
The firelight rose violently into the sky, shining together with the red sun in this early morning, dyeing the entire Yanjing City with a layer of bright red.
…
At the entrance of the Zhaoxuan Hall, the Holy Master Lin Mubai looked at Yan Xiu standing in front of him with satisfaction, although Yan Xiu was a little impulsive just now.
However, this does not affect his love for Yan Xiu.
However, at this moment, a golden light came quickly from a distance, and in a moment it arrived at the entrance of Zhaoxuan Hall, and he quickly knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the Dianmo Tower caught fire and has been reduced to ashes!"
“…”
"What?! The Dianmo Building is on fire!"
"Why did it suddenly catch fire!"
"What's going on? Dianmo Tower has been operating in Yanjing City for so many years, and it has never had a fire!"
It is impossible to say that there was no trace of surprise on the faces of the ministers when they heard the golden armored guard's words. The most important thing is that this incident is too coincidental, right
Lord Lin Mubai's expression also changed slightly. He reprimanded Yu Fang Zhengzheng for being bold and daring to openly refuse to come to listen to the results. However, he had no intention of putting Fang Zhengzheng to death.
Otherwise, his imperial edict did not use the word "tai", but directly ordered his arrest!
"The Dianmo Tower caught fire and turned into ashes!" Holy Master Lin Mubai frowned tightly. It was definitely not that simple for something like this to happen at this time.
The other talented people were also extremely shocked. After all, many of them had spent the past few days in the Dianmo Building. Such an elegant place caught fire.
What a pity.
Different from the shock of others, Yan Xiu's face was obviously a little pale, and the fingers holding the Shanhe Qiankun Fan in his hand made a clicking sound.
"Ah!" A voice as cold as hell sounded at the door of Zhaoxuan Hall. (To be continued.)
