I Evolved The Heavens

The next day.

The Palace of the King of Chu.

Chu Jiangnan pretended to be passing by and happened to ran into Xia Zining.

Xia Zining is wearing a lavender palace dress today, her head is swayed, and her face is white and smooth.

Her eyes are like autumn water, bright and pure.

"I have seen the princess!"

"It's you, Chu Dage, come to see my brother Wang so early."

Xia Zining smiled, her beautiful eyes gazing at her.

Chu Jiangnan said: "Yes, there are some things that need to be reported to the world son. Oh, yes, the princess, when I first came from the south of the city, I met Yang Yi on the road. I wonder if you still have an impression?"

"Yang Dage is here!"

Xia Zining was pleasantly surprised, but then said with a straight face: "Hey, he will come when he comes, take care of me. I wrote to him for more than seven months, and only came to me now, and I ignored him. "

Chu Jiangnan raised his brows, but the princess still wrote a letter?

At the beginning, because he had to perform the task, he went to the ghost domain of Qingshan Pass, why avoid people's eyes and eyes, he went on to send a thank you gift to Yang Yi, but there was no letter in it.

As soon as his thoughts turned, he quickly thought of Shizi.

It is estimated that the son of the world has seized the letter secretly.

He looked at Xia Ningzi as he was in the play, and kindly reminded him: "The county lord, it will be the township examination soon. Yang Yi came here to participate in the township examination."

Xia Zining's eyes widened and her cheeks bulged.

What does Chu Dage mean? If it weren't for the provincial examination, wouldn't Yang Dage stop coming?

She was disappointed and wronged in her heart. It is estimated that Yang Dage has forgotten her.

No, I must ask him clearly.

"Chu Dage, where did you meet him?"

"Oh, at the Guilai Inn. As for now, it should be towards Lingyin Temple. Today, there is a poem meeting in Lingyin Temple, and many talents will attend."

"I see!"

Xia Zining said, and hurriedly walked out of the palace.

Seeing Xia Zining's back, Chu Jiangnan smiled slightly and walked towards the yard where the son lived.

Only when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was told by the guard that Shi Zi had left early in the morning.

Because I didn't bring anyone, I don't know where I went.

Chu Jiangnan was surprised and scratched his head.

This is the first time.

...

Lingyin Temple is located in the west of the city, backed by the North Peak and facing Feilai Peak.

The two peaks stand next to each other, and the trees are beautiful, graceful and quiet.

Lingyin Temple was built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is one of the "Five Mountains" of Jiangnan Zen.

Yang Yi and Ning Caichen, as well as the dozens of talents from the Return Inn, came to Lingyin Temple, because today there is a poem meeting here, which was initiated by Xuezheng Zhu Xiaochun, in order to receive Wang Yangjun, the former Guozijian who resigned and returned to hermit.

Wang Yangjun is a famous Confucian scholar who has devoted himself to scholarship for 40 years.

Originally, he never asked about the government, but he didn't know what happened some time ago, so he wrote Feng Zhouzhe to the emperor, suggesting that the emperor demote the demon master, reorganize the government, appoint sages, and remove treacherous people.

No accident, the emperor was furious and decreed to Shenfu Wang Yangjun.

My Qiuxian asked Dao is right in front of me, and you actually want me to oust the national teacher. Isn't this a waste of my previous decades of hard work?

What else is ‘reorganizing the government and appointing a wise man’? Isn’t this pointing to the nose and swearing at me?

The emperor was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

If it is an ordinary person, it is estimated that he has already been sent to prison directly, or maybe even clicked.

Although the emperor was furious, he hadn't forgotten Wang Yangjun's influence in Shilin and the court, so he made a big deal.

Wang Yangjun is also hard-hearted, since your emperor is disobedient, then I don't bother to serve you, so I just quit my job.

Needless to say Wang Yangjun's influence in Shilin, it also makes friends all over the world in Buddhism and Taoism.

The abbot of Lingyin Temple, the master of Baopu Taoist temple and others are all his friends.

His hometown is in Yuyao. This time he returned to his hometown through Hangzhou and was warmly welcomed by all walks of life. Therefore, today's poem meeting was held in Lingyin Temple.

Yang Yi had no interest in such a poem meeting.

After all, he is not in officialdom, so he doesn't need to sharpen his head like other scholars and want to behave in front of big figures such as Wang Yangjun and Zhu Xiaochun.

But when he heard that people from the surrounding monasteries and Taoist temples also gathered, he suddenly became interested.

If he can'catch it all in one net', it will save him one place to run.

Along the way, the scholars were very excited and looked forward to:

"You guys, if you can stand out in today's poem meeting, you will definitely be remembered by Master Xuezheng. Then the next township exam will be pretty sure."

"Master Xuezheng can only influence the provincial examination. If he can be appreciated by the Great Master, then the next examination will not be a problem. In the future, he will be able to make progress in the officialdom."

"I heard that the king of Chu is here too, and it would be nice if he can be appreciated by the king of Chu."

...

Although the Dajing dynasty used imperial examinations to recruit scholars.

But in the past ten years, the imperial examinations have been far less rigorous than before.

As long as the background is deep enough, it can affect the test results.

Because of this, this has made Dajing's officialdom more and more corrupt. Although a lot of talented people can be selected, most of them are ordinary people.

But they have a profound background behind them, which has led to their officials becoming bigger and bigger, and the truly talented people can only struggle at the bottom because of the lack of a background.

When they reached Lingyin Temple, all the scholars were panting and sweating.

Ning Caichen is no exception. His physical stamina was good, but after being sucked by Yang Yuhuan for a few days, he is now very empty, not much better than others.

Only Yang Yi's face was not red, and he was not breathless.

Everyone was amazed, only Ning Caichen knew.

Although he did not ask, Yang Yi did not say.

But he knew that Yang Yi was definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise how could he be saved from the hand of the demon painter Yang Yuhuan.

Walking into Lingyin Temple, hundreds of scholars, young and old, have gathered here.

They gathered in front of a tall wooden frame with nine half-coupons hanging on it, pointing and talking, either thinking deeply, or annoyed.

Soon, one of the fellow scholars inquired about it.

It turned out that when we met Wang Yangjun and others today, we had to pass three hurdles and get out of the siege.

The first hurdle is the couplet. Only when you match the couplet can you continue to walk in.

The township examination is about to be held, so the scholars who come here are basically scholars.

Apart from other things, the basic skills are definitely very solid, and the ordinary couplets certainly can't stop everyone.

Therefore, these nine pairs of couplets are not simple.

It is said that so far, less than 30 people have passed the assessment and proceeded to the next level.

"Green water is Wu You, wrinkled face due to wind."

"Where there are mountains and rivers in the sky."

"Pick up the pen and look around the world."

"Dharma is boundless, and you are always at ease in quietness."

...

Yang Yi's eyes swept away, and the nine half-teams were caught in their eyes.

Judging from the nine half-associations, this should be from the hands of everyone, covering the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

With his literary accomplishment, it is naturally easy to come up with these nine semi-joints.

Yang Yi was not in a hurry, waiting for Ning Caichen next to him.

Ning Caichen thought with low eyebrows and muttered constantly in his mouth. He should have thoughts, but he needed to consider words.

Wow!

Many scholars exclaimed and looked behind Yang Yi one after another, their eyes straight.

Yang Yi smelled a pleasant fragrance blowing in the wind. He turned his head slightly and saw a stunning woman walking slowly, wearing a waist-length skirt, white on the top and green on the bottom, slender and graceful.
