Chapter 84
"How is my fiancée Lexue looking for the whereabouts?" Song Qian asked with a calm expression.
Xiao Yanhong's face changed. She knew that although Daozi's face was calm now, it was definitely more terrifying than the anger just now. This was absolutely serious. If he couldn't answer it well, he could only be scolded for a few words. If this question cannot satisfy him or he saw it perfunctorily, the consequences must be very serious!
Xiao Yanhong even felt a hint of murderous aura!
"Qi Bian Daozi, my subordinates have personally visited the place where Miss Lexue finally disappeared, but the result is very unsatisfactory..."
"Tell me, I'm ready."
A lonely woman, in such a chaotic world, is possible. Song Qian is always upset these days, and many terrible speculations often come into his mind involuntarily.
"There are signs of fighting at the scene, and there are fragments of a woman's broken robe. It looks like it is Miss Lexue..."
"Continue!"
"Yes! There were many bloodstains on the scene, but there were no corpses. They should have been cleaned up. In addition, judging from the remaining traces on the scene, there should be a monk above the foundation building to cast spells."
Above Foundation Establishment? Golden Pill? Or... It seems that Le Xue’s chance of getting out is very slim. The biggest possibility is that she was captured alive, which also explains why she hasn’t come to find herself for so long.
"Who found out?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yanhong's face became even more serious.
"The saint once used deduction to calculate, but found... but found that the secret of heaven has been deceived and the cause and effect have been disrupted."
"What?"
The Saint of the East Wilderness is in the Mahayana stage. What kind of cultivation does she have to blind her deduction?
"The saint said in person that another Mahayana monk may have appeared in the Eastern Wilderness!"
Upon hearing this, Song Qian finally showed horror and felt a catastrophe in the East Wilderness was coming. At that time, even if he was a Taoist in Yingzhou Immortal Island, he might not be able to protect himself. Instead, he would be more likely to be targeted by others.
There is no day, no country has two masters, and no one mountain can accommodate two tigers. Everyone knows that Donghuang has only had one Mahayana period for a long time. Now another Mahayana period has appeared, and it is even mysterious and mysterious. So what he wants to do is self-evident.
"I remember you said that there are not any cultivators above the Nascent Soul on Yingzhou Immortal Island now?"
"Yes, there are only a few Nascent Soul Elders under the saint."
"There are so many high-level cultivators above the Yuanying in the East Wilderness Immortal Alliance?" Song Qian asked bitterly. In fact, he had already guessed the answer, but he just needed to confirm it.
"It's as numerous as a cow's hair!" Xiao Yanhong knew what Song Qian was worried about, and this was also what she was worried about.
"It's true! I think the relationship between the saint and these people must be very harmonious, right?" Song Qian continued to guess.
"Say a very disrespectful word, if there were no saints, Yingzhou Immortal Island would have probably not existed long ago!" Xiao Yanhong did not answer positively.
All the eggs are put in one basket, and something will happen sooner or later! It’s a pity that I just became the second master and I’m going to be finished with me!
"I understand Zeng Tianlei a little now." Song Qian couldn't help but sigh.
The backer is about to finish playing, so when will you wait for the trouble now?
...
In the imperial study, Emperor Li Yinglang was summoning the censor Xin Hezheng.
"Have the results of this national teacher selection exam come out?"
"Your Majesty, the test paper has been reviewed in advance, and you are also requesting the final decision."
"Oh, show it to me."
"Yes, come here, bring the test papers for this national teacher selection!"
After Xin Hezheng finished speaking, a little eunuch brought three papers.
"These pictures are the first ones I recommend, so please check them out."
Li Yinglang agreed, picked up the first test paper in his left hand and read it. After a while, he nodded and praised: "Well, I'm not familiar with the writing style and use allusions very appropriately, comparable to the top scorer. I didn't expect that there were such talented people among the candidates for national teachers. Whose test paper is this?"
"It is the candidate for national teacher recommended by Qingzhou, Fei Yuanbai." Xin Hezheng was very satisfied and said in a low voice.
"Is it the one who saved the car in front of the palace a few days ago?" Li Yinglang was still impressed by Fei Yuanbai who had saved him.
"Yes, it's this person." Xin Hezheng couldn't help but admire Fei Yuanbai in his heart. He had saved him in front of the palace and his writing style was so outstanding. Now he has been in the eyes of the emperor and his future is limitless.
"Okay, it's a talent!" Li Yinglang put down Fei Yuanbai's paper and picked up the second paper.
"Hmm? What a handsome character. Judging from the font, it seems like a woman?" Li Yinglang was a little surprised. Except for some female officials in the palace, there was no woman in the entire Qi State to be an official, and it was even more impossible for a female national teacher to exist. Therefore, it is almost impossible for a woman to run for a national teacher. Most of them have other purposes.
"The emperor clearly understands that this paper was done by the little girl Gu Meng. I will not avoid relatives. I and several examiners agree that it should be the second place this time." Xin Hezheng said calmly, as if he was not talking about his daughter.
Li Yinglang looked at Xin Hezheng and nodded: "The characters are good words, and articles are also good articles, but this second place cannot be given to her. I can give her what she wants or what you want, but are you sure you have figured it out?"
Xin Hezheng's calm face finally turned into a pleading look and said, "I hope the emperor will fulfill his wish, and the old minister is grateful!"
"Okay, a talented man is worthy of a beautiful woman, your daughter is betrothed to Hongwu, I agree!"
"Thank you Lord!" Xin He was jokingly bowing and thanking you.
Are you so optimistic about King Rui? Although I don’t want to see him fighting with the prince, I am already in the same situation as the same as the enemy and the others. Xin Hezheng, Xin Hezheng, it seems that you have completely boarded King Rui’s ship. Li Yinglang looked at Xin Hezheng who was kneeling in front of him and thought to himself.
Li Yinglang did not put Xin Gu Meng's paper back but put it on the Longshu desk. The meaning is already very obvious. Since you have achieved your goal and successfully won the emperor's longan, there is no need to participate in the selection of this national teacher again.
After reading two papers in a row, Li Yinglang was a little tired. He did not look at the third paper, but asked directly: "Who is this third place?"
"I am a candidate for Yongzhou Lu Yuchen."
"Oh." Li Yinglang thought for a while, picked up the third paper and looked at it, frowned slightly.
Xin Hezheng's heart was inevitably sank when he saw the emperor's expression. Obviously, this third place was not in line with the emperor's wishes.
"Take the papers for the next few people and I'll take a look." Li Yinglang said after putting them back.
Immediately, a little eunuch brought in a few papers.
In fact, the name of the answerer was written outside the paper. Just now the emperor asked just to show authority. This time the emperor did not ask again, but looked through one by one, but said dissatisfiedly: "Come again!"
He brought up another batch of papers and the emperor started to look through them again.
"Come again!"
Xin Hezheng, who was standing aside, began to frown. Although the writing skills of the candidates for the national teacher were as good as those of Fei Yuanbai and other pearls, they were still incomparable to the imperial examinations. The further they went, the worse the papers, the worse the content. Not only were there many typos, but the handwriting was getting worse and worse, almost unsightly.
In previous years, even the imperial examinations were held, the emperor ended at most when he saw the top three, and the rest were executed according to the opinions of the examiners. But today he actually read all the twenty-three test papers for the national teacher candidates in one breath.
When he saw the 23rd picture, the last place this time, the emperor finally stopped, frowned, his face turned red and white.
"This Song Qian was the one who performed in front of the palace that day to call the wind and rain. His article was plagiarized, and the text was incorrect, the handwriting was sloppy, and there were many smears. We all agreed that he should be the last place in this article exam." Xin He was just thinking of the anger he had when he and other examiners saw this paper, and his body couldn't help but tremble again, "This is simply a disgrace to his eloquence!"
"Xin Hezheng, what do you think if you were asked to write this article here?" The emperor still looked at Song Qian's paper and asked without raising his head.
"You should follow the words of the wise men, and start with the words that exist for profit, and the words that do not exist for use..."
"Okay, you can write an article and I'll see how?"
"Okay, ah? Now?"
"Now, you can write slowly, don't rush back, have a meal with me today." The emperor said with his eyes rolling.
"Okay, I'll write it right away!" Xin Hezheng thought the emperor was in Yaxing and wanted to consider his literary talent. He, a father, can't be worse than his daughter, right?
In this way, a eunuch prepared the four treasures of the study, and Xin He started answering and writing papers in front of the emperor.
The emperor put down Song Qian's paper and began to review today's memorials.
Xin Hezheng was full of energy and had completed the paper with full brain power, and handed it to the emperor like offering treasures.
The emperor took the paper that had not yet dried the ink and started reading it, and nodded constantly.
"Okay, okay, I really deserve to be the top scorer of that year. Before the sword is old, I should be stronger!"
Xin He's face was blushing and was very proud.
"Okay, I'm going to choose this article as the first place in this article!" The emperor drew a circle on this test paper, and the first place in the first place in the first place in the red batch.
Xin Hezheng was stunned. Why did the paper he wrote become the first place in the national teacher selection examination? Is it impossible for the emperor to give himself the position of national teacher?
This is not over yet, and something that caused Xin Hezheng's outlook on life to collapse happened later.
Emperor Li Yinglang closed the paper and wrote the two big words "Song Qian" in the name of the person outside!
"The first place is Song Qian, the second place is Fei Yuanbai, Xin Gu Meng withdraws, you can just settle the others. I am tired, let's have a meal!"
Xin Hezheng had supper with the emperor in a daze, and then returned to his mansion in a daze. Along the way, he felt that the world was unreal, until he lay down on the bed, and he finally woke up.
Song Qian is the national teacher of this class, and this result has long been destined. This is the emperor's wish!
The results of the national teacher selection literary examination were finally announced, and only the top three were announced, namely Song Qian, the second place Fei Yuanbai, and the third place Lu Yuchen, who was awarded the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination and entered the quarterfinals directly in the quarterfinals!
