Main Text Chapter 547: Dragon Follows the Decree and Strange Phenomena Arise

Qiu Yan?

Qiu Yan!

These two simple words shocked the whole room!

Most of them have heard of Qiu Yan's name, and even discussed it during the exam invigilation, but it was all for their own faction, and what they considered was not Qiu Yan as a person, but the meaning behind him.

Qiu Yan is more like a symbol.

Of course, before reading the name.

"Is this Qiu Yan the same Qiu Yan?" Some examiners lost their composure and spoke out what was in their hearts.

But everyone else also looked shocked.

In just a few breaths, they first heard that Wen Zhizhen was ranked third, and then came a strange Ye Yun. The author of the exam paper that attracted the most attention was actually Qiu Yan!

The series of changes made all the examiners and affiliated officials feel confused.

They were all court officials, especially many of their classmates, who were all Jinshi scholars. They were also known as talented scholars in their respective hometowns. Naturally, they would not look at Qiu Yan in a different light just because of his reputation as a talented scholar.

But now it's different.

In the Wenran exam, Wang Fu was put in the first place despite the pressure, which naturally had a completely different meaning.

This aroused everyone's thoughts. The old-school officials knew Qiu Yan's origins and did not expect that the policy statement would be written by him. They were naturally surprised. The New Party officials also did not expect that the policy paper would be written by Ma Yang's "disciple".

For a moment, the room was silent.

The only one who was relatively calm was Zheng Quan. He had known the identity of the candidate for a long time, so naturally he would not be too shocked. However, he was also affected by other people's thoughts and his expression was solemn.

In contrast, there was Li Kuo's stunned expression.

Just one breath ago. He was still thinking about how to complete the task, but only in the blink of an eye. The goal of this mission appeared in front of him in an unimaginable form.

But soon, he felt joy in his heart: "This Qiu Yan actually got the first place. Not to mention those candidates, even I will not believe it. Once it is said that he cheated, there is no need to push it deliberately. It will make the whole city uproar!"

But immediately afterwards, he felt a little worried again.

"However, the first place this time is the one who took the Wenran examination. In other words, Qiu Yan's talent far exceeds that of Tongji, so he probably won't be able to hide it for long. And if we are exposed, we may leave a bad name in the history books!"

When Li Kuo was in a dilemma, the examiners finally came to their senses. Their expressions looked a little strange, as if they wanted to express their objections, but they had many concerns. Unable to put into words.

Among them, Luo Zhongjie and Hu Yong were the most obvious. They had known about the existence of the test papers for a long time and had many guesses about the identity of the candidates. At this time, the truth was revealed. Everyone has mixed feelings in their hearts.

They also each brought their own forces behind them——

From the perspective of the old party, Qiu Yan's test papers tended to favor the new method. It must be opposed, and in the view of the new party, Qiu Yan is a disciple of the leader of the old party. If he admits his views, it will be strange or may cause future troubles.

It should be noted that this dispute between the old and the new, apart from the pure political ambitions of some people, is to a large extent a contest between two interest groups, and their positions are more important than their opinions.

Even Wang Fu was feeling complicated at this time.

The complex emotions were only in the hearts of everyone at first, but soon radiated to the surroundings with their expressions and movements, causing the atmosphere in the room to suddenly change and slowly accumulate.

Feeling the atmosphere in the room, Zou Kang wanted to speak again, but before he could make a sound, a voice suddenly came from outside——

"The Emperor's Oral Order~~"

The voice was a bit shrill, like a sharp sword, breaking the weird atmosphere in the room, and then a white-faced and beardless old man walked in accompanied by several people.

When they saw the old man, everyone in the room stood up and saluted, including Wang Fu. They were not saluting to the old man, but to the emperor behind him.

The emperor's oral edicts refer to the orders given verbally by the emperor.

The government of Dali is very strict about not being implemented by anyone who does not go through the two governments. Even the emperor can easily issue edicts and regulations, but oral edicts can bypass the two governments and have great effect. They can often choose people's fate.

The old man didn't say much. He went to the crowd, straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "You have worked hard for many days. I am very concerned about it. I heard that there are talented people who have dyed the examination papers in the examination. This is a great blessing. I know it and yearn for it." , but I am worried that the day for releasing the list has not yet come, and now that the list is about to be released, I came here to ask about his name. "

Although the old man said these words in a slightly shrill voice, once the words were spoken, they gave people a feeling of thick echo, as if two people were speaking at the same time.

At the same time, at a level that is difficult for ordinary people to see, a gurgling dragon energy gathered and went away with the words. Like a torrent, it rushed into many examination papers and finally merged into Qiu Yan's share.

shock!

In Qiu Yan's examination paper, the words changed, the sentences were connected, and the many spirits contained therein shook. On the examination paper, there was a will to suppress the spirit, which was the will of Nagongyuan.

The Gongyuan will fight at home and originally had an absolute advantage, but at this time, the dragon energy was integrated into the examination paper, affecting the whole body, increasing the power of the examination paper, and the broken spirit that was suppressed inside came out, and gained the momentum to rush out. …

Outside, everyone listened to the old man's words and felt a thump in their hearts. They realized that the situation was not good. They knew the emperor and his own news channels. They had long expected that the palace would know the news in advance, but they did not expect that Li Kun would know the news in advance. The matter was so taken seriously that as soon as the Gongyuan was opened, someone could not wait to send someone over to ask for the name, without any reserve at all.

Sometimes, just one thing is enough to express your attitude.

"Once Qiu Yan's name is known to the emperor, who can change his position as Huiyuan? Dare he change it?"

This thought flashed through everyone's mind, but they had no choice but to watch the situation develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Then, Wang Fu took a deep breath and said Qiu Yan's name.

After hearing this, the white-faced old man was slightly startled and asked uncertainly: "But those Qiu Yan and Qiu Shenzhi who came from Yuanning Mansion and obtained Jieyuan of Jiannan Road?"

"That's exactly the person." Wang Fu looked a little surprised and nodded in agreement.

The old man's question made everyone present see some clues.

"What? Does this old guy know Qiu Yan? It's impossible. Could it be that Qiu Yan's name has been spread to the palace?" The person who is most concerned about this matter is Li Kuo, which is directly related to his The future, and the plans of the people behind it!

At the New Party dinner that day, Tian Youqing had already learned from Wang Fu that the emperor knew Qiu Yan's name, but did not tell Li Kuo, making the latter think that Qiu Yan was just clinging to Ma Yang.

When he was confused, the white-faced old man nodded: "It is this person who is worthy of being valued by the officials."

His words immediately caused another wave of thoughts in the room. The fluctuations of thoughts in the air became larger and larger, making Gongyuan's will become increasingly thin and showing signs of retreat!

However, ordinary people cannot detect these mysterious changes and are just thinking about the news brought by the white-faced old man.

After passing the oral instructions and knowing his name, the old man was about to leave. Before leaving, he smiled and said to Wang Fu: "My lord, the officials attach great importance to this examination. I was pleasantly surprised to know that there was a wise man who dyed the examination papers." , but out of trust in the prince, he did not directly ask, and when the day came for the ranking to be released, the prince did not disappoint the officials, and named Qiu Sheng as the first choice. "

There are other hidden meanings in these words, and Wang Fu can naturally hear it. The emperor has a strong idea in his heart. If the person who took the Wenran exam is not named today, everyone in this room will probably hate the emperor.

When the others heard the clues, they immediately broke out in cold sweat, with a look of joy in their eyes.

The old man looked around with a cold look in his eyes: "However, there are also some people who want to cause trouble behind the scenes and affect the officials' recruitment of talents. Naturally, someone will deal with this matter." After saying this, he left.

The old man left the Gongyuan and went straight into the palace.

In the imperial study room, Li Kun had been waiting there for a long time. When he knew that the old man was coming back, he couldn't sit still and went to greet him personally.

"Guanjia, I asked you for that person's name. Speaking of which, you also know this person." The white-faced old man said directly without going around in circles.

"Do I recognize them?" Li Kun was stunned when he heard this, "Among the candidates for this subject, I have heard of many people, but I can only count them as knowing each other, and there are only three or four of them. Not to mention the two boys from the Qiao family, their abilities are... You know, it’s impossible for Wen Ran to pass the test paper. Among the remaining two people, the most likely one is Qiu Yan. Could it be that..."

"The wise official is none other than Qiu Yan!" The white-faced old man smiled, "During the provincial examination, officials once commented that he was a wise man in the country, with a sharp eye, but now he is a good scholar in the examination papers. It’s a reward for the high expectations from the officials!”

"Qiu Yan, Qiu Yan," Li Kun said with excitement as he murmured the name and listened to the old man's words, "It's actually him. I knew he had come to the capital, and I had thought of going to meet him, but in the end I changed my mind. I thought I'd wait until after the exam, but I didn't get it right. By the way, did he bring the exam paper? I want to take a look!"

"The old slave has given orders. When the Gongyuan list is released, someone will bring Qiu Yan's examination paper. I heard that one of his Wenran examination papers is policy theory, which is related to the new law. It shows that there is a person who is interested in national affairs. He will definitely become a minister of the official family!"

After hearing this, Li Kun was naturally excited again.

………………

At the same time, when the emperor silently recited Qiu Yan's name, the Xingjing Dragon Qi changed according to the trend and separated into strands, some of which went straight to Gongyuan.

In the courtyard, with the arrival of the Holy Edict, the atmosphere changed, as Li Kuo and his ilk became restless and anxious.

"Qiu Yan's name has been directly heard by the saints. This is to secure his position as the leader. If anyone provokes you at this time, it will be a slap in the saint's face! I must find a way to spread the news and inform you!"

On the other side, Wang Fu put down his pen, handed over the written list, and said, "Go ahead and send it to the Ministry of Rites."

Someone on the opposite side took the list, turned around and left, walking very hastily.

However, as soon as this person left the Gongyuan, a sudden change occurred in the room, and an examination paper flew into the air, blooming with dazzling light!

With the support of dragon energy, the will of Gongyuan could no longer suppress Qiu Yan's exam papers!

The light shone brightly, and the people in the room were stunned, and two words came to their minds -

"Vision!"
