"Master Qi, everything has been arranged. As long as Qiu Yan is on the list, the news will spread immediately. If he is not on the list, there is no need to worry about it."

The other two people, with different appearances, one of whom was quite young and had a beard and black and white hair, responded to the words.

Tian Youqing nodded slightly and said: "If I want to make this matter a solid case, will it be difficult?"

The half-white man frowned, and the word "Chuan" formed on his forehead, and said: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. After all, the talent selection ceremony is a national event. It's okay to assassinate one or two candidates. If you want to make the matter a solid case, , it will bring disaster to others..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the person next to him. He laughed and then said: "Mr. Yu, your courage has become weaker and weaker in the past two years."

Although this man was well-dressed in brocade and satin, he looked not dignified enough. He stood there with his legs slanted and his shoulders crooked, like a tree with a crooked neck that could not be straightened, giving people a feeling of being sluggish.

Such a person has a bad temperament. On weekdays, let alone being a guest of Tian's house, he may not be able to get in, but now that Tian Youqing saw him, not only was he not angry, but he looked at him with interest. Asked: "Laisan, what do you think? Tell me and let me listen."

After hearing this, Lai San put on a flattering smile, bowed and said quickly: "Sir, I heard that some of the candidates have already taken refuge with you. Why don't you choose one or two from Jiannan Road among them?" Candidates, let them 'witness' Qiu Yan's hidden behavior in the examination room? Or maybe they accidentally saw an examiner and talked to that Qiu student..."

"What do you mean?" Tian Youqing's eyes lit up, but on the surface he remained calm.

Lai San noticed the interest and quickly said: "I heard that Qiu Sheng is a disciple of Ma Xiang... Ma Yang, so he must be from the old party. When he can take the exam, won't he have some contact with the examiners of the old party? ? This is reasonable and reasonable, as long as his identity as a disciple of Ma Yang is announced first, and then..."

"This must not be done!" Old Yu suddenly said. He took a step forward, cupped his fists towards Tian Youqing and said, "Sir, it's just a small mistake to frame a candidate. If it is leaked, the consequences may not be big. You can get rid of the guilt by finding some people, but if the imperial official is involved, then It’s hard to deal with it. If the old party counterattacks, what will happen..."

"Mr. Yu, why do you say discouraging words?" Lai San shook his head. "As long as the plan is done properly, it will be foolproof. How can it be exposed? This time, Master Tian and Master Pan work together, and you and I help, no matter whether it is black or white officials or businessmen, it will be smooth sailing. I will not hide it from you, in the past twenty days , Our brothers have already spread information in the city. I heard that Mr. Yu, your Chamber of Commerce is the same. There has been an undercurrent in the city for a long time. They say that someone is cheating, but I don’t know the name of that person..."

Having said this, he smiled and looked at Tian Youqing. Whispered: "Your Excellency is so wise, you should understand that the candidates are pretentious and will feel that there is something hidden once they lose their reputation. At this time, as soon as the name of the person who committed fraud is announced, that person will immediately become the target of public criticism and vent his anger. Required.”

Finally, he narrowed his eyes and showed a gloomy expression: "Now, it's just the calm before the storm."

"Since you are so confident, then let's do what you said." Tian Youqing glanced at the two of them and ordered lightly. Although Mr. Yu still had something to say, Tian Youqing looked at him and said, But he shut his mouth and left with Na Laisan.

But after a while, the old man was led back again. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Sir, you shouldn't be so hasty! Laisan can't be gullible. His unscrupulous behavior is too much." Of course, how could the court be deceived by such a trick? "

Tian Youqing smiled and said: "Yu Fang, I know your heart. No need to say more. I have my own plans. That Lai San is a rogue in the city and quite powerful. It would be ideal if he could use his strength. Even if something goes wrong, it will be fine." But it’s Pan Xiang’s fault. Now that he wants to take the lead, I won’t stop him, but I won’t hesitate when it’s time to break up.”

When Mr. Yu heard this, he thought for a moment, suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and did not dare to say anything more.

"Okay," Tian Youqing stood up and patted his clothes, "You can go to the Chamber of Commerce now. This Qiu Yan is just a pawn. This time, he is not designed to bring down a small person like him. Then You think too highly of him. The real purpose is to use him as a breakthrough point to attack the group of people who are stubborn. When they are in chaos, you can attack and seize the opportunity to control the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, thus taking the initiative, and then cooperate with me to implement the new method. "

"Your Excellency has a wonderful plan! I admire you!" Mr. Yu quickly complimented, "I believe that after this time, Your Excellency will be able to secure his position as the backbone of the new party!"

Tian Youqing smiled slightly, not overjoyed, but waved his hand to let Mr. Yu leave.

………………

Gongyuan.

There are huge crowds of people outside the hospital, all the candidates, servants and maids are waiting eagerly.

It stands to reason that the list is to be sent to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites organizes manual posting, but it will eventually come out from the Gongyuan, and many impatient people gathered here to know in advance.

Some of them have even been here since yesterday and waited all night!

In addition, there are many wealthy businessmen, stewards, and servants gathered here. Their eyes are like hungry wolves staring at prey, patrolling the candidates.

The purpose of these people is simple, which is to find a Jinshi for their family. It would be more ideal if they can get the top three. However, there are more monks than meat. There are only more than 300 Jinshi in this subject. Therefore, the competition is fierce and there cannot be a moment. Relax.

Suddenly, even the air around Gongyuan was filled with a hint of tension.

Inside the Gongyuan, the atmosphere was equally solemn.

After more than twenty days of grading, thousands of exam papers were read by the examiners one by one. After comparison and selection, most of them were rejected, leaving only 307 papers.

These more than 300 examination papers represent the number of Jinshi scholars, but before that, there is one more thing to decide, which is to determine the ranking.

It's said that they are scheduled, but in fact the rankings have almost been sorted. What is really difficult to decide is the ones at the top.

Those who are on the list for the general examination are called tributes. They will have to wait until the palace examination a few days later to truly distinguish the top three.

The Imperial Examination is divided into three categories, the first one is awarded as a Jinshi, the second one is awarded as a Jinshi, and the third one is awarded as a Jinshi. This is the last step of the imperial examination and the end of the examinee's career.

It hasn't reached that point yet, but even so, the more than 300 people on the list have already been determined to be Jinshi, which naturally attracts people to snatch them. Otherwise, when the palace examination is over, there may not be any left.

There is no ranking in order to catch a son-in-law, but the first one is still the most eye-catching and is called Huiyuan.

However, now in the Gongyuan, the examiners are arguing endlessly about the candidate for the Yuan Dynasty, and even several fellow examiners from the old party did not care about giving face to the examiner Wang Fu, and they wanted to suppress a copy of the examination paper——

"Although this examination paper is extraordinary, it is too eloquent and goes against the teachings of the saints!"

"Yes, the examination will be a good example to the world. If you take this volume, it is likely to change the world's atmosphere, and the consequences are unpredictable."

"It is recommended that it be designated as the second name, so as not to lose the talent of this life and not disturb the world!"

The strange thing is that although they want to suppress, they don't dare to say that the test paper is not good. They only dare to talk about the overall situation, which shows their guilty conscience.

After these old party examiners finished speaking, everyone in the room turned their eyes and fell on Wang Fu.

There were a lot of people in the room. In addition to the examiners, there were also the Mi Feng Guan, the Transcription Officer, etc. Zheng Quan was among them. He looked at the examination paper that was being discussed emphatically and was filled with surprise.

This examination paper was recommended by several examiners with New Party background as the first choice, but it was boycotted by the old Party examiners. What is strange is that Hu Yong and Luo Zhongjie, who are more important among the examiners of the two parties, remained silent. The words were seen as waiting for an opportunity, but Zheng Quan knew that the two of them were not waiting, but it was difficult to speak.

The rankings have not yet been decided, and the names have not been really opened. Most of the examiners do not know the names of the candidates, but this one is an exception. Maybe many examiners do not know the names of the candidates, but Zheng Quan knows it well.

"Isn't this examination paper the same one written by Qiu Yan? It's just that Qiu Yan was obviously a disciple of the old party prime minister, but he was boycotted by the old party examiners, and instead promoted by the new party examiners. It was too weird. I don't know, Wang Xiang felt that What do you think?"

While thinking about it, Zheng Quan's eyes swept over the faces of Hu Yong and Luo Zhongjie, and finally fell on Wang Fu.

From the beginning of the argument, these three people had not expressed much opinions, which made Zheng Quan secretly guess.

"Maybe they all know who made this exam paper, so they are hesitant."

However, Zheng Quan's guess was wrong. Although Wang Fu and the other three people had their own guesses after reading the examination papers, there was no accurate information about the identity of the person who wrote the examination papers, and the identity could not be confirmed yet. Gein None of the three have read Qiu Yan’s previous articles.

Such as Na Yong, he actually guessed that Wen Zhizhen did it, just because Wen Zhizhen was quick-thinking, and Luo Zhongjie was dispatched several times, feeling uneasy. The two of them spent these days thinking about ways to suppress them, but because of Wang Fu's protection, I have never been able to succeed, but now, this test paper has a chance to become the number one!

As for Wang Fu, he is engaged in a battle between heaven and man.

Just now, what the examiner of the old party said, in addition to arguing with reason, should suppress the examination papers that favor the new law, it also reminded him of something tacitly understood——

In this imperial examination, the old party had made great concessions. Not only was the content of the new law tested, but he, Wang Fu, was also the examiner. At this time, it would be taboo to name a new law volume as the first name.

"Although Wen Ran took the examination papers, there was no abnormality. There was no general trend, and it was difficult to convince the old party. If he clicked on Huiyuan, I'm afraid..."

At this time, someone outside the door said: "Mr. Wang, it's getting late. If we don't decide the ranking, we will miss the release of the list!" This was the arrival of the person responsible for escorting the list.

Wang Fu sighed and finally made a decision.

"Everyone..."
