Rumble! In March, spring thunder and Jingzhe. The exam has been completed, and thousands of candidates stranded in the capital are all looking forward to the results. They are complacent when they have done well, but they are also worried about gains and losses. The sadness of the poor exam is still a bit of luck.

However, the most talked about on the streets was the strange phenomenon that appeared in the exam room this year. Some people said it vividly, "We stood outside the exam room and watched. From the second day, a cloud spiraled upwards in the southwest of the field, and its shape was like a dragon.

When the third day was finished, the cloud seemed to be stimulated suddenly and rushed straight to the blue sky. When the zenith was scattered into a large canopy, covering the sky. Some old man said that this was not only talent and literary luck, but also the human emperor's aura!"

Someone was shocked and said, "How can you talk nonsense? The exam room is full of loyal, filial, and righteous scholars. The first one is to be loyal to the emperor. How can you get the aura of the Emperor of Humanity? This is a great rebellion!"

At the beginning, the man said disdainfully: "So you know nothing? The human emperor's aura may not necessarily appear on the emperor. If you serve the country with loyalty and the king and ministers get along with each other, ministers can also use the emperor's aura to save the country and the people. I think it is during this test that a loyal minister will be produced!"

This was how many people agreed with this statement, and they were all guessing who the talented man who wrote such articles was.

"Don't guess, it must be Ye Xingyuan." In a simple little house in Beijing, Yu Wenjing, a big white-clothed scholar, drank a muffled wine with a frown, and lamented to his friend Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi was surprised and said, "Why is Brother Yuwen so sure? If you can make such an article, wouldn't it be a blessing for the country? Why should my brother target him everywhere?"

Yu Wenjing smiled bitterly and said, "I have read this person's article more than a hundred times. No one in the world can compare with him. Who else can turn the tide and save the people from water and fire? The change in Southern Jin in this test was an indissoluble situation, but he did not expect that he would turn the tables. How could such a person not be frightened?"

Chen Zhi frowned and said, "Brother Yuwen suspects that he is unjust? Such a hero is indeed hard to be under the throne. But if he passes the Jinshi and becomes a civil servant, he will not hold military power. As long as he is careful to prevent it, it will be fine. Why bother so early?"

If a military general wants to rebel, he only has a few thousand brave and trusted subordinates. It is enough to occupy a city in troubled times. However, if a civil servant wants to rebel, he must be a powerful minister. Otherwise, even if a province is bounded, it will be difficult to mobilize military troops with the system of this dynasty. It is difficult to cause chaos.

Even if Ye Xingyuan had a smooth journey, he would have to pass the Jinshi exam at the age of 17, and it would take at least 20 or 30 years to be promoted to a Grand Secretary. In the past 20 or 30 years, who knows what happened? Why did Yuwen Jing worry so early?

Yu Wenjing shook his head, "This dynasty is already deep. Even if people who are really ambitious are planning to usurp the throne, I don't think it's different. This is originally a fate. If I just worry about this, I don't have to worry so much."

He was a wise man. He knew that although this dynasty still couldn't see any major problems, he was on fire everywhere. Even though several papermakers tried hard to maintain it, the country's destiny had not been long after all.

Changing dynasties is a matter of naturalness in the secrets of heaven. As a scholar of Mingzhe, he would not find it very strange. Yuwen Jing’s concern for Ye Xingyuan was not because he was afraid that he would steal the country.

Chen Zhi wiped his sweat in shock and said, "Brother always makes such a horrifying word. It's okay if we talk about it, but we can't do this outside."

Yu Wenjing smiled and said, "Don't I know this yet? These complaints are nothing more than talk between us brothers. Even in front of Master Yan, although he and I know it well, he will never say this word."

Standing at Yan Bingzhang's height, why don't you know the difficulties of state affairs? As his confidant planner, Yu Wenjing would not discuss the rise and fall of the country with him. What's the use of this matter even if it was explained clearly? It would be better to be confused and be a monk and hit the bell for a day.

Chen Zhi asked again: "Since my brother is not even worried about this, why should I be so afraid of this person? My brother does not want to enter the official career, so there should be no conflict with this person."

Yuwen Jing is a man with bright and clear wind and a clean and elegant style. He does not seek power, so he never goes to the imperial examination and is willing to hide in the market. No matter from any perspective, he will have no conflicts with Ye Xingyuan.

Yuwen Jing sighed and said, "Ye Xingyuan is such a talented man. If he follows the teachings of the saints, it will be a blessing for the country and the human race. But I read from his lines that he is unruly, just because he is afraid that this person will be a sinner of culture and education in the future.

With the saint's learning, it is impossible to save the situation in Southern Jin. If he can make another storm, he must have used his miscellaneous studies. Originally, the saint's extensive and profound knowledge could not shake its foundation. But the more I read Ye Xingyuan's article, the more I feel that his arguments are inconsistent with the saint. Once it becomes a climate in the future, it will definitely become a heretic study, and there will be endless poisons!"

Yuwen Jing was extremely impressed by Ye Xingyuan. Not to mention that he could only hold the sky and lean on his hands, he was all fascinating in all new learning directions. In addition to the exam article, Yuwen Jing was also familiar with the "rent release" written by Ye Xingyuan in the provincial capital.

His eyes were like a torch, and he saw that there was actually a huge system in Ye Xingyuan's chaotic view. If it developed and matured, it would be comparable to the sage's learning. This is the root of Yuwen Jing's fear.

Yuwen Jing knew that this meeting was a key turning point. When he was the most nervous before the release of the results, he expressed his hidden worries in front of his friends for the first time.

Chen Zhi was dumbfounded and could never have thought that Yuwen Jing would be worried about this kind of problem. To be very disrespectful, if Yuwen Jing believed that Ye Xingyuan's later doctrine might shake the foundation of saints' cultural education, wouldn't he think that he, a young man, had the ability to compete with the saints?

Is this person really so powerful? Chen Zhi has never seen Ye Xingyuan yet, but he is already full of curiosity about him.

Yu Wenjing drank a glass of wine and sighed, "I have visited the three main testers one by one before the exam. Xi Cifu did not lie to say anything. With his personality, he would definitely support Ye Xingyuan as the top scholar. Grand Secretary Shen is a despicable person and selfish person. When I listen to his tone, I will inevitably suppress Ye Xingyuan if I try to suppress Ye Xingyuan.

The key now falls on Shougong Yan. Unfortunately, he is unpredictable. Although we have been guests and hosts for many years, he has no way of knowing what he thinks in his heart."

Yuwen Jing had no doubts about the candidates who made amazing articles. It was 100% certain that Ye Xingyuan was definitely, which means it was impossible not to let Ye Xingyuan pass the exam. His current hope was that even if Ye Xingyuan did not win the championship, even if he was just the second place, his momentum would be very different.

"After things have come to this point, we can only leave it to fate. The so-called plan is up to people, and the success is up to heaven." Yu Wenjing looked out the window solemnly, sighed, and fell into deep thought.

Several families were happy and sad. Compared to Ye Xingyuan who was waiting calmly, the three main testimonials who were quarreling, and the worried Yuwen Jing. Chen Jian, who was determined to frame Ye Xingyuan in the imperial examination, suffered from flesh and blood. He rolled to the ground, his face turned pale, his eyes rolled up, and his appearance was exactly the same as that of an evil ghost.

"Miss Nishiori! Give me your life! Give me your life!" Chen Jian kept crying.

Opposite him, the woman in white was furious, "The situation of the demon clan going south, even if a fool comes to trade, it can still sweep the wind and clouds. You are so useless. Not only can you not destroy Ye Xingyuan, but you will make him prosperous and turn the world around?

If the Monkey King Tuo doesn’t kill you, I will kill you too! It’s really a rotten wood that cannot be carved!”

She shook her tenderly, Chen Jian twitched all over, and almost fainted from pain. He kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "I am incompetent and fell into Ye Xingyuan's trick. But I would like to give me another chance. I will give you this girl apart from Ye Xingyuan."

The woman in white sneered, "The examination has passed, and Ye Xingyuan's success in the Jinshi officialdom has been a foregone conclusion. You are an incompetent person who can't fight for him in the deduction fantasy, how can you fight for him in the officialdom?"

Chen Jian said anxiously: "This time I joined the demon clan and established the merits of education. Although I have lost a lot of money in the great lunar calendar, I can also become a Jinshi of the second grade. I am with Ye Xingyuan. When I compete with him, I will be able to share his resources. I can seize the opportunity and win him down in one fell swoop!"

He was sore all over his body, but his mind was very clear. This was quite reasonable. The woman in white thought about it and nodded and said, "I forgot that we have made a plan for you and allowed you to be in a high position in the Demon Clan. Although I failed to annex the Southern Dynasties in one fell swoop, I committed many sins and had merits. It would be a good thing for you.

If someone exercises your strength for you, Sandingjia will not be without hope. You and Ye Xingyuan are both from Guiyang County, Dinghu Province, and entered the officialdom in the same year. As long as there is a disagreement, it will damage Ye Xingyuan's reputation. It seems that you have to use it?"

Her eyes swept coldly over Chen Jian. Chen Jian fell into an ice cave, bowed to the ground, and said sadly: "This time I will never let down the girl's entrusted!"

He kowtowed heavily, and when he raised his head again, he saw a piece of black blue on his forehead and blood marks at the corners of his eyes, making his face look even more ferocious.

Three days after the imperial examination, the ranking was set and the yellow list was put on. The undercurrents before this finally came to an end when the day still rose. Ye Xingyuan stayed in the inn and did not want to see the announcement. Although Tang Shiyan and others were anxious, they could only accompany him.

"The top scholar must be my brother, you can't be wrong!" Tang Shiyan couldn't help but repeat this sentence with others, which was also a psychological comfort to himself.

Ye Xingyuan was not sad or happy at this time, nor did he feel that his mind was fluctuating. After a trial, he understood the truth that things in the world were impermanent, and his mind was as calm as water, and he became more calm.

If you are the top scorer, then of course it is the best, and it can be regarded as a good start and ending. It is an end point for the imperial examination and the best starting point in the officialdom.

If not, as long as he enters the officialdom, he will still have the path he will take. After that, his destiny will not be affected by an exam, nor will it be grasped by a few people. He will open up his own path.
