The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

However, there are also many Qingguo people who are sensible and understand Yan Yukong.

Geniuses like Yan Yukong would be short-sighted if they were to oppose Fang Yun, because geniuses at their level have risen to a level that affects the rise and fall of the human race. The struggle between countries must not let the two become enemies.

If the two of them had to fight to the death to resolve their conflicts, this would be a loss that the human race could not bear.

Therefore, no matter how loud the Qing Dynasty rats were, those high-level people did not accuse Yan Yukong, and some even warned Yan Yukong privately that he should never provoke Fang Yukong unless it was a family dispute or a battle for the holy way.

Yan Yukong walked up to Fang Yun with a smile and said: "Fang Xusheng, before I give you a poem, I have a grudge."

"Tell me about it." Fang Yun smiled kindly.

"My Yan family's actions are more important than my words, so the book "Yan Zi" is not widely circulated, only my Yan family studies it. For the ten subjects of this year's palace examination, I will take the administration of officials and people's livelihood. As for the other eight subjects, I will never compare with Brother Fang. Fighting. I wonder if Brother Fang can be so kind as to let me, the Qingguo Yuan, get the first grade in the subject?" Yan Yukong smiled, but there was no joke in his tone.

In the human race palace examination, there are only ten first-class candidates in total every year.

Fang Yun was surprised and said: "You have achieved good results in areas such as literature, agriculture and military affairs. In our chat that day, you did not study official administration and people's livelihood. Why did you suddenly change today?"

Yan Yukong, always free and easy, rolled his eyes at Fang Yun in public, then raised his left hand, showing his little finger, and said, "Then let's count the ten subjects for Jinshi."

"Education is a subject. Needless to say, although the Fang Family Library and the Three-Character Classic will not be included in the palace examination assessment, if you come up with some fantastic ideas, we will not be able to match them."

Many scholars nodded. Except for the Kong family and a few old scholars in the education department, almost no one could compete with Fang Yun.

Yan Yukong raised his ring finger again and said: "For the agricultural subject, your chances are not very good. That is the private land of the farmers. I don't have much chance, so why bother to fight for it."

Fang Yun nodded. Among the ten subjects, he really didn't think much about competing for the agriculture subject, because Ning'an County was not good at agriculture, and it was an important military area in the north.

"For the Criminal and Prison Department, the Legalists have already been decided, so you and I should not waste any more time."

Fang Yun didn't nod this time. Prison was an important area of ​​responsibility for the county magistrate, and he had to intensify his efforts to manage it.

"As a subject of history, you should have a chance. I heard that you are going to write "History of Ancient Demons", but there are many obstacles. If it fails to be completed, the final A-level will definitely belong to the historian."

"Military Affairs Section 1, I think you have a future, but don't forget that you don't have much military power in Jingguo, and there seems to be someone dragging you back. Therefore, military affairs ultimately belong to the military strategists, and you may get a first-class Very little sex.”

Some scholars in the Qing Dynasty were gloating over the misfortune. Everyone knew that the Left Prime Minister would try his best to contain him and it would be impossible for Fang Yun to get a first-class honor in military affairs.

Yan Yukong started to raise the little finger of his right hand and said: "In the fortification department, you and I can't argue. It's useless to talk more."

Fang Yun smiled slightly, no one knew why he was smiling.

"The first subject of liberal arts is to examine the comprehensive aspects, including exegesis, poetry, policy analysis, literary skills, etc., and it is no accident that you will get a first-class degree in liberal arts!"

"In the Department of Medical Sciences, it seems that you have a 70% chance of getting an A grade! Once you can write the second half of "On Plagues", you will definitely get an A grade!"

"In the Department of Civil Service, everyone knows the situation of officials in Mizhou. There is a certain prime minister there. If you can get a first-class in the Department of Public Service, I will call you Fang Banshi from now on! Therefore, I can compete for this subject. ”

"In the people's livelihood subject, Ji Zhibai got the cooperation of all the officials, but last year the people's livelihood only got a C. Why? The population flow in Ning County is too big, there are too many soldiers, the conflicts are complicated, and the public security is extremely poor. Therefore, you don't want to go to Ning'an. I’m thinking of making a breakthrough in the subject of people’s livelihood.”

Yan Yukong paused for a moment and continued: "After the analysis of the ten subjects, you have almost defaulted to the top three subjects of education, literature and medical science, so I must not compete with you. I can't compete with others in the other subjects, so I will try my best. What do you think of this explanation?

"Well, you Yan Yukong! It's false to ask me to be arrogant when you speak now, but it's true to tell all the imperial examination candidates in the world that they should avoid the two subjects of official administration and people's livelihood! However, the ten subjects of the imperial examination have priorities, but as a county Order, but the ten subjects cannot be divided into superior and inferior. I can't give you any answer, I can only say that I will do my best to govern Ning'an County.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yukong sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I even have some doubts. At the end of the palace examination, except for you, all of us palace examination scholars will have a common goal."

"Oh? What common goals can we have?" Fang Yun asked with a smile.

"It's to prevent you from continuing to get A's in multiple subjects! The more A's you get this year, the fewer A's we can compete for. If you get A's in more than five subjects, there will be at least four countries In the palace examination, all the Jinshi troops are exhausted, and you won't get the first grade. If you go crazy and get ten first-level exams, this year's imperial examination will create a miracle in the history of the human race. Our imperial examination candidates this year will definitely become the laughing stock of EMI! Yan Yukong shouted loudly.

"certainly!"

"I hate Fang Xusheng the most in my life!"

"Not only is he a courageous demon, he is also an armor-stealing demon!"

Many scholars burst into laughter, especially the Jinshi who were going to take part in the palace examination this year, and they made no secret of their insecurities.

"Brother Yukong is getting more and more complaining. Stop talking nonsense and give me a poem." Fang Yun said with a smile.

Yan Yukong nodded, pondered for a moment, looked at the trees on the roadside, and recited slowly.

"The green willows hang down to the ground,

The poplar flowers fly in the sky.

The willow branches are broken and the flowers are gone.

I wonder if the traveler will come back."

"Good!" Fang Yun praised with everyone.

This is a common farewell poem that hopes for the return of people who have traveled far away, but many people in Qing have become ugly.

Someone whispered: "You, Yan Yukong, are looking forward to Fang Yun's return. Are you going to take another state from my Qing country?"

However, most people in Qing did not say anything. It is inappropriate for other people in Qing to hope for Fang Yun's return, but Fang Yun and Yan Yukong are friends in need, and it can even be said that he saved Yan Yukong's life. It is harmless for Yan Yukong to write this poem.

Afterwards, the Minister of Literature of Qing State, Gu Fu, named another person, a Jinshi in his early twenties, who happily presented a poem.

Most of the people of Qing State were silent about the appearance of this Jinshi, because he was the elder brother of Gu Fu's granddaughter-in-law.

When it was the third person's turn, Gu Fu was a little embarrassed. He glanced at everyone, and finally suddenly touched the official seal without making a sound.

Fang Yun noticed this little action and knew that he had received a letter.

After a moment, Gu Fu coughed lightly and said, "How about this, please ask Hanlin Zong Wuyuan to write a farewell poem and present it to Fang Xusheng."

The atmosphere in Shili Pavilion suddenly became tense.

This literary war in Xiangzhou can be said to be initiated by the Zong family. As a result, Qing State not only lost Xiangzhou, but the Zong family's obstruction of Fang's library also failed, and fell a big fall.

At this time, Zong Wuyuan wanted to come out to write a farewell poem, which would definitely not be a smooth and good poem.
