"alright!"

As the last test papers in the circle were picked out, the marking work of this session was announced to be completed.

A total of 365 people will be named on the list and become famous all over the world.

This number is similar to previous years and is basically a fixed quota.

"Revise the papers and check the names, and record them on the list."

The chief examiner Zhang Yuangong said a little tiredly that he is a Hanlin Grand Secretary, not only noble, but also has real power. There are rumors that he will enter the cabinet. As long as he steps in, he will become one of the five major members.

Soon, the papers with the names of the papers that were sealed were removed and the specific information of the candidates was revealed.

"Mr. Zhang, read this volume."

A clerk handed over with the booklet.

Zhang Yuangong glanced at him and saw his name and hometown: "It's rare that he actually passed the exam."

The clerk hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Can you need to adjust?"

Zhang Yuangong glared: "What a vague thing? Just record it truthfully, there are arrangements on it."

"yes."

The clerk stepped down.

Zhang Yuangong's eyes flashed, but he quickly calmed down: What is a mere new Jinshi? It's just that such things go against common sense and do not comply with the rules. It is necessary for the emperor to make trouble and set new rules, so that no one can take advantage of the loopholes...

...

Today, the capital was sensation because the envoys of Zhongshan Kingdom and Fu Meng Kingdom arrived in Beijing. The two teams merged into one and entered the city from the west gate in a mighty way.

The two major vassal states used this to express their position to the court, and they had already joined forces to advance and retreat together.

The ceremonial guards of vassal states are different from the Central Plains. They are dressed and decorated with a mysterious and wild foreign style. A strong guard riding on a tall horse, wearing wolf-skinned skins from Zhongshan, and wearing tiger-skinned skins from Fu Meng...

Many people from the capital arrived after hearing the news, stopped and watched, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Wow, what kind of horse is that? It actually has two horns, like a cow!"

"That's an iron horse, it is said to have the blood of the demon clan."

"Tsk tsk, the people in the vassal states are so tall, they look like iron towers."

"What's this? It's said that they will transform."

"Monster, there are monsters!"

Some timid children even cried in fear on the spot.

...

Zining Mansion.

Bang!

This is the third celadon that was smashed.

Hu Zining was still angry.

The old nanny advised him hard: "Young Master, think about it carefully. Whether you take action yourself or ask the old slaves to go, as long as you meet, you will immediately appear and you can't hide it."

Hu Zining said coldly: "So what? At worst, I will leave the capital."

The old lady hurriedly said, "Young Master, be careful! If that happens, what should the old king's grudge?"

When talking about the "old king", Hu Zining suddenly calmed down.

"Young Master, this matter involves a lot, and there is no need to gamble hard at all."

Hu Zining asked: "What are you going to do?"

The old lady replied: "First of all, the conflicts between the court and the vassal state have been deposited for a long time. How could it be resolved if it was not a matter of one day or one night?"

Hu Zining sat down: "Something makes sense, then what?"

The old lady continued: "Secondly, we are not only us who want to block the peace talks and start the war. They have been moving and planning, so how can we stand by and watch? We can't help but jump out, but instead act as pawns for others."

Hu Zining knew who "they" were and pondered: "So, do you mean to wait?"

"Yes, waiting is the most suitable. As long as you wait for the time, add a proper fire and you can watch the fire from across the bank."

After a pause, the old nanny advised earnestly: "Young Master, today is different from the past. Our situation cannot be impulsive, and emotional."

"Oh well."

Hu Zining said in a depressed voice, and suddenly asked, "You said that Senior Chen left the city last time, but are you back?"

The old lady shook her head: "No."

Hu Zining snorted: "What are he going outside at this time? Could it be that he made an appointment with Qi Jianxia and the two of them went to have a private meeting?"

This suspicion is not without reason. After all, it is a matter of separation between the two of them.

The old lady was amused and laughed: "Qi Jianxia has left the capital and returned to Qiyun Mountain."

Hu Zining said, "I don't believe she will leave so simply."

...

Qi Jianxia did leave Shou'an and was preparing to return to Qiyun Mountain.

However, before she could go far, she received a message from the master's sect. After seeing it, she hesitated for a moment, finally turned around, returned to the capital, and went straight to an inn in the outer city.

"Hello, junior sister, we're meeting again."

Zhang Xiangyang, who had lived here for a long time, smiled.

"Hello, Senior Brother Zhang! Hello, Senior Brother Luo!"

Luo Yun said: "The little boy has not seen anyone yet. He is delaying. When he comes, he will be punished."

"What's the punishment?"

With a rough shout, wearing a Taoist robe, Chi Yangsheng, whose beards were as thorny as thorns, walked in.

Luo Yun sneered and said, "I thought you were afraid of death and didn't dare to come?"

Chi Yangsheng retorted: "You are afraid of death, you are afraid that I will not come to help."

Qi Jianxia was too lazy to listen to their quarrels: "We walked together and swayed across the market. I was afraid that the Divine Armor Army would surround this for a while."

Zhang Xiangyang said: "That won't be that we didn't do anything."

Qi Jianxia asked: "What should I do this matter, led by Senior Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Xiangyang said leisurely: "No hurry, the meaning of the Heavenly Master is to let us hold our troops for the time being, wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for the peace agreement."

Chi Yangsheng frowned: "Lao Zhang, in the current situation, since the two major vassal states are willing to bow their heads and take the initiative to send envoys to Beijing to negotiate peace, and the court probably doesn't want to start a war, wouldn't it hit it off?"

Zhang Xiangyang said: "If there were no accidents, probably that's the case."

Qi Jianxia snorted: "What does 'if there is no accident'? Isn't our mission just to create an accident?"

Chi Yangsheng echoed and said, "That's right, what's the point of waiting? Isn't it better to start as soon as possible and make it yellow in advance?"

"No need to rush, before us, no matter in the government or in the market, many people have already started to do things."

Zhang Xiangyang's eyes were far-reaching: "This matter involves a major issue, and it is a century-old layout. Once it is activated, it will be enough. If you don't do it, you will have to do it in one battle. Because once you fail, there is no room for recovery, and you have to go out to sea."

The other three people understood what he meant and couldn't help but feel silent.

After a while, Qi Jianxia said, "Since you are waiting, you don't have to wait all of them here, right?"

"Of course, during this period, everyone can act freely and pay attention."

"Okay, then I'll leave."

Qi Jianxia said, turning around and leaving quickly.

Zhang Xiangyang originally wanted to ask "Where are you going?", but in the end he didn't ask. Some things, if you ask too much, you will only get bored.

Chi Yangsheng said, "Then I'll leave too."

Luo Yun asked: "What are you doing?"

Chi Yangsheng smiled: "Do you still remember my junior brother?"

“Which one?”

"I heard that he went to Beijing to take the exam, but I don't know if he can pass the exam."

Luo Yun said in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

"Isn't that true? I didn't expect it, so I took the opportunity to have a good chat with him."

Zhang Xiangyang and Luo Yun looked at each other and didn't think too much. If Chi Yangsheng hadn't mentioned it, neither of them would have remembered Chen Youniao.
