Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    (The climate is unpredictable, with thunder and lightning, frequent wind and rain, so the update has been delayed. Sorry. Half of Guangdong is flooded!)

    Time is running out, and the three-day rural examination has come to an end.  The gate of Gongyuan opened, and a group of scholar candidates filed out.

    It was noon when we came out, and the sun hung brightly in the sky, making people's eyes dizzy.

    Being locked up in a dormitory, without seeing the sun for three days, suddenly coming out, it was inevitable that he would feel a little uncomfortable for a while.  Many people stretched their muscles and moved their joints.  Some of them have sad faces and sighs, and it is obvious at a glance that they did not do well in the exam; some are relatively calm, and even have a faint smile on their faces, but they think they have performed well.

    When these candidates and scholars came out to the square, they all worshiped the statue of the sage before leaving one after another.

    Some scholars who knew each other well immediately called their friends and made an appointment to have a big meal in a certain restaurant, drink and have fun, and relax.

    Ye Junsheng was at the back. When he came out, the others had already left.  He shook his clothes and bowed respectfully to the holy elephant.

    When he arrived at the edge of the square, he saw Li Yifeng waiting there with a smile on his face, and a carriage parked behind him.

    Ye Junsheng was about to walk over, when an old man in sixties dressed as a housekeeper suddenly ran next to him: "May I ask if you are Mr. Ye Junsheng?"

    "It's Xiaosheng, who are you?"

    Ye Junsheng frowned, he didn't know the other person.

    The housekeeper's face was full of joy: "Master Ye, do you have some free time? My master has invited Mr. Ye to come to the Zhuangyuan Building to get together."

    As he said that, he pointed over there.

    A large and gorgeous carriage was parked there, pulled by a pair of horses.  The horse is very handsome, and you can tell at a glance that it is one of the best horses in a hundred.  Worth a fortune.  The design and layout of the carriage carriage are even more luxurious.  Very eye-catching.

    Needless to say, the owner who can own such a carriage must be rich or noble and cannot take it easy.

    Ye Junsheng did not move and asked calmly: "May I ask who your master is?"

    A hint of displeasure flashed across the housekeeper's eyes: The scholar in front of him seemed a bit ignorant of praise.  Or maybe there is something wrong with the eyesight, and one cannot see the mountain even though he has eyesight.  There is a small triangular flag stuck in the front of the carriage, fluttering in the wind.  Anyone who knows me will know it at a glance. How can he not give me face? He is already flattered and still asks this and that?

    ¡°Well, I heard that this boy was born in Jizhou, so his knowledge may be quite limited.  In this case, it is not surprising, so he smiled and said: "Master Ye, please follow the villain over, and you will know it at a glance."

    Give way.  He bowed slightly and made a "please" gesture.

    However, Li Yifeng had already seen the other party's background, and his heart tightened, and he pulled Ye Junsheng aside.  He said in a low voice: "Jun Sheng, that's the housekeeper of the East Palace. Please come over. I'm afraid he has an agenda."

    Under the East Palace, naturally refers to the prince.  The future emperor.  The prince personally sent someone to invite a scholar who had just passed the provincial examination, and he was indeed worthy of being called a polite and virtuous corporal.  It was someone else.  I was grateful for my kindness early and rushed over to see him immediately.

    This is a big thigh. How much chance does it take to hold it?

    Scholars all over the world study hard in a cold window, and they don¡¯t know how much they have to go through before they can get the chance to take the provincial examination.  However, the provincial examination is only a stepping stone. Even if you succeed in the examination, you may not be able to fulfill your ambitions in the official career if you become a civil servant.  Even if you pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, it does not mean that you will rise to the top.  According to the usual practice, new scholars usually stayed in the capital to take up some idle positions, compiling books and writing history. It was rare that they could be directly sent out to serve as officials and take on actual duties.

    In a nutshell, there must be someone in the court.

    Since ancient times, there has been a saying, "There are people in the court who are good at becoming officials." This person can be a relative or a teacher, as long as there is a connection.

    Now, the prince has condescended to come to invite Ye Junsheng, who has not yet been confirmed to win the election. The meaning is self-evident.

    ¡° However, Li Yifeng knew the relationship well and was not without worries.  I'm afraid that the feast won't be a good one or the meeting won't be a good one, so I invite Ye Junsheng to come over. It's a banquet in Hongmen and you can't go back.

    Ye Junsheng smiled and said: "Mr. Li, students have their own sense of proportion."

    "No, Junsheng, you can't go there. How about I push him away. If it doesn't work, you can ask the second prince to come out. I don't believe that in this capital, the prince can have no scruples."

    Li Yifeng is still worried.

    The officialdom is dangerous and unpredictable, and if you are not careful, you will be swallowed up until nothing is left.  Especially in this capital city, the water is very deep.

    Ye Junsheng was truly moved by his caring heart and said: "Mr. Li, I went over to attend the meeting, but he couldn't kill him directly. As for the rest, it will take care of itself."

    Li Yifeng sighed: "Jun Sheng, the prince is moody. No one dares to guess what he will do."

      Ye Junsheng said with a smile: "He is the prince, and he is the face of the country. I don't think it is possible for him to carry out conspiracies in public Well, I will reason with him."

    Hearing the word "reasonable", Li Yifeng seemed to know him before.

    I remember that in Jizhou, when Chu Sanlang was aggressive, they were very worried that Ye Junsheng would be persecuted and die unexpectedly.  However, Ye Junsheng didn't take it seriously and said he would reason with Chu Sanlang.

    At that time, Li Yifeng and others thought he was naive and ignorant.  But later, Ye Junsheng turned out to be safe, but the arrogant Chu Sanlang was beheaded in the street, and his blood flowed into the sky.

    This incident shocked the whole city. Later, Chu Yunyu mobilized countless manpower and material resources, but could never find out the reason, and finally became a major unsolved case.

    The horse¡¯s head is placed on the bed, and the human head is cut off.

    The two events happened one after another and spread out. It became a household name in Jizhou and was extremely legendary, almost comparable to those illusory rumors about gods.

    There is a saying among the people that it was the sword fairy who took action.  But more people believe that it is the work of some chivalrous people who come and go.  For example, Xie Xingkong, the most powerful sword in the world.

    No matter what, the arrogant Chu Sanlang was killed, and the people all applauded.  Not long after, Chu Yunyu resigned sadly and returned to the capital.

    ??Most of the public discussions are just for fun.  Li Yifeng and others were different and saw it more clearly, so they subconsciously thought it was the counterattack from the Second Prince's side.  Inadvertently, it was equivalent to helping Ye Junsheng solve a big trouble.  However, such matters are so secretive and private that it is impossible to ask each other directly. Everyone just needs to know it.

    In short, no matter what they said, they did not expect that this matter would have anything to do with Ye Junsheng, and they naturally disagreed with the "reasonable" statement.

    Now that Ye Junsheng was mentioning his old words again, Li Yifeng just felt dumbfounded.  On second thought, it would be unwise to directly refuse the prince's invitation. It would be better to accept it and go over to have a look.  There are many people in the Zhuangyuan upstairs, and I believe that the prince cannot act randomly.

    "Junsheng, if that's the case, then you go ahead. Remember, be careful in everything."

    Ye Junsheng raised his hand and said, "Mr. Li, the student won't stay there for too long. When he comes back, I'll invite Mr. Li and Mr. Huang to his home for a few drinks."

    After saying that, walk over and get on the gorgeous carriage.

    The driver swung his whip in the air, and the carriage rumbled towards the Zhuangyuan Tower.  (To be continued)
