couldn't see Liu Mian, Fang Yingwu had to go home, and he really had nothing to do. After all, he lacks the ability to intervene directly, and nothing can be done without an agent. When he sat at home, he could only think about what Liu Mian had in mind?

At this time, his father Fang Qingzhi had already gone out again, and in the evening, he saw his father coming back from outside and brought new news.

"Today, all the gentlemen in the Hanlin Academy are talking, and they all think that Liu Boye has been dormant in the cabinet for several years, and now the time has come, he wants to use this to establish his authority and show his strength to the people of the world!"

I see! Fang Yingwu had an understanding, and couldn't help but sigh that the Hanlin Academy is worthy of being a place where elites gather, and the analysis is really different from the small people in the market!

Liu Mian's drunkard is not in the wine, but in the second assistant Liu Jue, who has been dormant for six years, and now he is ready to move!

The champion is just a prop! What seduced Liu Mian couldn't hold it was not the glory of the champion, but the temptation of further progress!

Some historical materials flashed in Fang Yingwu's mind - Liu Jue, Liu Ji and Liu Mian all entered the cabinet at the same time as the eleventh year of Chenghua, and they were about the same age, and it has been six years since then.

The overall conditions between the two are comparable, and they are both papier-mâché three elders. But Liu Kuo is the second assistant, and he usually makes discussions and competes with Wan Shoufu from time to time, while Liu Mian is the third scholar, and he is relatively low-key in his usual affairs. Therefore, in terms of prestige, Liu Jue is higher than Liu Mian.

In addition, the first assistant Wan An is more than ten years older than the two colleagues surnamed Liu, and once Wan An changes, Liu Jue is more likely to succeed the first assistant.

But a while ago, Liu Jue was inexplicably slapped on the head because his son was not angry, and became a laughing stock of the government and the opposition. Coupled with Wan Shoufu's deliberate suppression, the momentum was much depressed.

This time, when competing for the place to enter the palace examination paper presented to the Imperial Palace. Liu Mian is unusual, and he is also-for-tat with Liu Jue. Finally defeated Liu Jue. Is it really for his future son-in-law? I'm afraid that the meaning is not only there?

If Liu Mian really makes his future son-in-law the champion in the end, the biggest symbolic meaning is indeed to show strength, or show that he is not weaker than the second assistant! Even champions can be manufactured, what could be more haode advertising?

As for whether it is fair or shady, it may be attacked by Shilin public opinion, but for some court officials who are not upright, these are irrelevant. In their philosophy, those who are capable of creating injustice are powerful people, and it is not wrong to recognize this.

However, is it really good for the future of the other party to respond to one's own future? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. For Liu Mian, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but for other things, it must do more harm than good, who wants to carry the stigma as soon as they enter the career?

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu sweated profusely and fully felt the coldness of politics. With Liu Mian's IQ, he would not have thought of this, but Liu Mian still did so, without scruples about friendship. There is no scruple about future family affection.

Participating in the imperial examination by himself has also become a tool used by Liu Mian to turn over the clouds and rain, and he cannot tolerate the slightest resistance. In this kind of competition at the top, he can really only stare dryly.

Father Fang Qingzhi relieved his son: "Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Even if it is unsatisfactory for a while, it is nothing, and those who are clear are self-purifying. ”

Fang Yingwu sighed: "Father's words are premature. Rumors may be rumors after all. ”

"From what I heard, Liu Boye has already obtained Wan Shoufu's acquiescence. Two of the three scholars nodded, who could stop them? ”

Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly. I should have had this realization a long time ago. Since life is like that, if you can't resist, just close your eyes and enjoy it, at least you may become the real champion in the world, isn't it?

On March 17, the Son of Heaven Imperial Wenhua Palace, all the book readers also went to the palace to enter the hall to try the papers.

At the same time, all the candidates also gathered outside the left gate of Chang'an, the imperial city, waiting for the release of the palace examination list, which is the emperor list or gold list in the common saying.

Fang Yingwu didn't want to go, but it was even more weak if he didn't go, so it was no exception, and he rushed to the left gate of Chang'an with Xiang Chengxian in the early morning to wait. There are actually not many candidates of more than 300 candidates, and it is easy to find Wang Hua and other fellow villagers in the same province.

The eyes of the fellow villagers looking at Fang Yingwu are all weird, and people who have a little way have more or less heard the rumors, and it seems that this little fellow is going to win two yuan in a row.

The others took care of the faces of their fellow villagers and kept their mouths shut about the rumors, but Li Min, who was straightforward, couldn't help it, and the other party asked, "Are the rumors true?" ”

The eloquent Fang Yingwu also did not know how to answer, and there was no answer to the question at all, or the question should not be asked at all.

At this moment, a man about thirty years old walked up to him and asked, "Could it be Fang Huiyuan in person?" ”

Fang Yingwu took the opportunity to ignore Li Min, and asked sideways, "Who is Your Excellency?" Where are you from? The man replied, "In Xia Zhang Tianrui, Qingping County, Shandong Province." ”

Fang Yingwu suddenly faintly understood, he had also heard that after the palace examination, the two Liu Ge elders were arguing for a place, Liu Mian recommended himself to be good-looking, the other party's advantage was that the name was auspicious, and Zuihou still won by his face.

The name of this person in front of him is auspicious, and he is from Shandong with Liu Cifu, and his appearance is also a little poor, probably the one recommended by Liu Cifu.

This person took the initiative to talk to himself, but the one who came was not good and the good one did not come, Fang Yingwu thought. Sure enough, I heard Zhang Tianrui say sarcastically: "Congratulations to Fang Friend in advance for winning two yuan and taking the lead!" ”

Fang Yingwu is a little hot, it's just a matter of others to ridicule two sentences, he admits it, what qualifications does this Zhang Tianrui have to mock?

He didn't believe that Zhang Tianrui didn't go to Liu Jue's way, otherwise why would Liu Jue support him strongly? It just didn't work out. Can't you immediately turn into a pure and fresh white lotus because of your lack of strength and attempted crime?

In this way, Fang Yingwu said sarcastically: "The emperor list is not out, how do you know who is the champion?" Could it be that Your Excellency can name the Son of Heaven? ”

The words and swords outside the left gate of Chang'an are not mentioned, and the atmosphere in the palace Chinese hall is solemn and solemn. The Son of Heaven of Chenghua resides on the throne in the palace, the first assistant Wan'an kneels in front of the palace, and the rest of the book readers are in the back.

On this occasion, it is customary for the elder to symbolically recite three test papers, and then the rest of the test papers are presented to the Son of Heaven according to the predetermined ranking, and then the king king ranking is the final result.

The first person to come forward to read aloud was naturally Shoufu Wan'an, who unfolded a test paper and read it slowly. After listening to the beginning, everyone knew that this test paper that was recited by Wan An for the first time was "suspected" to be Huiyuan Fang's thing.

This test paper was read by Shousuke first, and the meaning of the symbol is self-evident. For a while, everyone had their own thoughts, but their faces were as usual, only the second assistant Liu Jue's face changed slightly. (To be continued......)
