Chapter 267 The dust has settled
The enlightenment of the Qingqi and the achievement of great scholars was an unexpected result of Ye Xingyuan. With this, he was already satisfied. He didn't care much about whether the magical power "one-eye ten-character" taught by Hanlin editors could survive.
Although there was an episode in the process of Qingqi initiation, which alarmed everyone, the process of granting magical powers was still step by step. Ye Xingyuan was the first to teach magical powers and could use them with a little insight.
This magical power is mainly used for reading. After obtaining this magical power, you can understand any classic at once, and you can easily find out the mistakes and omissions in the version.
The Hanlin Academy compiler is a free job, and he only occasionally participates in writing work such as drafting edicts, compiling books, etc. This magical power is also practical. After having the ability to look at ten lines of knowledge, it will be of great help to future practice.
I don’t know if Ye Xingyuan could still maintain this magical power after leaving the Hanlin Academy. Before the imperial edict was established, he was not convenient for him to stay in the Hanlin Academy for a long time. After obtaining the magical power, he returned to the Ministry of Personnel with his documents and certificates to prepare for the transfer.
At this time, the Grand Secretary of Dongge, Chen Xiaohe, the second prince, had already left. He was responsible for the new Jinshi and was nowhere to be found. Another official was the one who received Ye Xingyuan.
Ye Xingyuan asked to guard the border and received the imperial edict. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel who originally loved to play power did not dare to neglect them. What's more, before that, Mrs. Li had already opened the joints and set the position of the magistrate of Qiongguan County, but the procedures were completed in just a moment.
Ye Xingyuan's identity changed three times a day, from a new top scholar to a Hanlin compilation, and then became a county magistrate. He thanked the people of the Ministry of Personnel, received official documents, sealed letters, and returned to the inn. After testing the new magical power, he found that it was still there, and was even more happy. He immediately began to prepare for the appointment without stopping.
In just one day, waves and changes were rippling in the plains, and finally the dust settled, which sparked discussions in the court and the public.
"Qiongguan County? This place is really the front line of the demon clan, and the bandits and monsters are causing trouble along the way. If you want to take office, it can be said that it will be a lifetime of death." Yu Wenjing felt a little relieved after hearing Ye Xingyuan's last place.
Ye Xingyuan entered the Hanlin and was commended, and even became a great scholar. This made Yuwen Jing frightened. He stubbornly believed that the more Ye Xingyuan gained at this time, the stronger his ability to inflict the way of saints in the future.
He must be killed while he is not yet firm in his foothold. This is the way to prevent problems from happening. So Qiongguan County became the best cage for this person. Yuwen Jing only hopes that he can die here so that he can feel completely at ease.
Yan Bingzhang listened to the words of Yuwen Jing, but he didn't say anything. He was still sitting in the chair of the Grand Master, squinting his eyes at the sun slanting in the hall. However, his son Xiao Yan's husband Yan Xuewen smiled and said, "Brother Yuwen is so nervous? Such a villain can be killed by a reckless man, why bother worrying about him all day long?"
Yuwen Jing said seriously: "Mr. Xiao Yan should not underestimate this person. Ye Xingyuan is really talented, but he is young and talented this year, so he has no chance to play. As long as he has been able to survive for a few years, he is afraid he will be a great enemy in the court.
Besides, he was rebellious, but he was able to become a great scholar at the age of seventeen. He had a deep understanding of the secrets of heaven and had his own way to avoid misfortune, which was not so easy to deal with."
Yan Xuewen said annoyed: "What can I do if I am just a top scholar in the new subject? In the past two days, everyone in Beijing is talking about a young scholar, which makes people calluses in their ears really annoying. But even if he climbs for another twenty years, he is just a small pawn in the officialdom. He can be destroyed with just one hand!"
Yuwen Jing was ridiculous and terrified. He knew that Yan Xuewen was more aware than the sky, and because he was the son of the chief minister, although he was only a juren, he looked down on the Jinshi. He was afraid that he was jealous and hated Ye Xingyuan. But Yan Xuewen didn't think about it. Apart from having a good father, what else could he be better than the other party?
Fortunately, although Yan Bingzhang is old, he is not confused. He seems to let his son go, but he actually won't give him any power. Therefore, just listen to Yan Xuewen's words. Don't care.
Yuwen Jing responded a few vaguely, then turned back to the topic, and said to Yan Bingzhang: "This time, I don't know which Grand Secretary did it, but he set his hand apart Ye Xing far away. He was so fond of benevolence and had no complaints. However, the student was still a little uneasy and wanted to explore Qiongguan and ask the prime minister for permission."
In theory, Ye Xingyuan went to Qiongguan, with demon clans outside, bandits inside, the people were stubborn, and the granaries were empty. In addition, there would be no support from the court, so even if he had the ability to do heaven, he would be difficult to turn over. But Yuwen Jing was worried that he would not go to see it with his own eyes, because he was afraid that when Ye Xingyuan was away in the future, he would not be able to sleep every night.
Yan Bingzhang raised his eyelids and his eyes stayed on Yu Wenjing for a while. Then he spoke slowly: "You are my confidant. If you leave, it will be inconvenient."
The chief minister did not question why he wanted to go. In fact, no matter how much he paid attention to a seventeen-year-old scholar, the five great scholars would not do much, but after yesterday, they should be even more afraid of Ye Xingyuan.
But even though they feared, they might think that it was enough to put Ye Xingyuan on the border, and they did not think that dealing with him was the top priority. Although Yan Bingzhang said this from beginning to end about this matter, his attitude was already very obvious.
Ye Xingyuan wants to suppress it, but does it take Yuwen Jing to take action?
Yu Wenjing smiled bitterly and said, "The Prime Minister should not underestimate this person. Look at his examination and the articles of the imperial examination, even if the desperate situation can still allow him to find a glimmer of life and turn the world around. Now it is just guarding the border. How can he know what tricks he can play?"
He always had a premonition of uncertainty in his heart, but he had said these words several times, so he just seized the opportunity to emphasize them again. The chief assistant had his own ideas and would not be shaken easily.
Seeing that Yan Bingzhang's expression had not changed, Yu Wenjing sighed in his heart and said, "There has been no major issues in the capital for a while. If you have Li and Jin beside you, you will be able to share your worries. Now Xiao Yan's uncle has returned to Beijing, and you can lean on your arms to help."
Yan Xuewen was very proud of his flattery and said dryly: "Brother Yuwen, you are too cautious, you might as well go and have me in the capital, so don't worry."
He wished Yuwen Jing would leave his father quickly. This white man always talked a lot, but his father obeyed Yuwen Jing again. With Yuwen Jing in the capital, Yan Xuewen was reluctant to act, so although he felt that it was unnecessary to make a fuss, he still supported him."
Yan Bingzhang pondered for a while, and finally nodded reluctantly, "In late autumn, the northwest will be in chaos. If you want to go, you must go early and return early, which is limited to half a year."
Yu Wenjing was shocked all over. He knew that the Prime Minister had a meticulous control over the current situation. He said that the northwest would be in chaos in late autumn, and it was certainly true. He agreed: "Students understand that I will leave and return to Beijing in September at the latest."
Ye Xingyuan didn't know that someone was trying to trick him behind his back. Everything went well and he was full of ambition. After returning to the inn, he began to pack his luggage and prepare for the job.
After hearing this, Mrs. Li came to congratulate you immediately, "The way of the young master has been accomplished. Since she is a great scholar, her great righteousness is still in her heart, and entering the tomb of a saint is just like a casual person. The disciples will definitely not make things difficult for you. The treasures of the five virtues are within your fingers."
The five virtues are loyalty, filial piety, integrity, courage and harmony, which is itself the standard of conduct for Confucians. Since Ye Xingyuan became a great Confucian scholar, theoretically speaking, his virtues have been recognized by Tianji. Even Tianji recognizes them, how can the saints not recognize them?
In this way, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of exploring the tomb and searching treasures.
What Mrs. Li was thinking about was the treasure of the saint. As for the decision to set up the magistrate of Qiongguan, it was natural. She spent a lot of money in the middle, and she didn't take it out to seek credit.
Ye Xingyuan was not so optimistic, shook his head and said, "Today's great scholars are just spiritual power and heavenly secrets. Virtue is not necessary. Unlike ancient people, gentlemen who do not seek the will of heaven but seek morality. Now I have become a great scholar. I may take advantage of the treasure, but not much."
He paused and said, "Has Brother Li's position been operated? We are afraid we can't walk with each other, right?"
Mrs. Li said: "I have asked for a military position under the command of the General of Xifeng Pass. However, the Western Army has a complicated faction and has not yet been determined. It is about the young master who takes the lead and we will arrive later."
Xifeng Pass is adjacent to Qiongguan County, and the straight line distance from the county town is only a few dozen miles. The descendants of their Yao family are indeed somewhat powerful. Ye Xingyuan was also quite surprised that he was so accurate in selecting officials.
He nodded and said, "It's good that this is the case. I won't be in a hurry to do it after taking office. I have to find out the local situation, grasp the context, and then explore the tomb. I just wait for you during this period."
Although Mrs. Li was not afraid of Ye Xingyuan acting alone, Ye Xingyuan also planned to rely on Mrs. Li's power. Moreover, the Five Virtue Treasures and the Saint's Spirit Bone are both hiss, so he didn't need to take the risk of eating alone.
After arguing with Mrs. Li, Ye Xingyuan arranged for Tang Shiyan and Zhu Ning'er again. Tang Shiyan originally planned to return home, but when he heard that Ye Xingyuan went to a barren land, he was worried and thought, "This is the high mountains and the road is far away, and he said that the west is not peaceful. How can I get on the road alone? Why should I accompany you for my brother and wait until you arrive at Qiongguan before returning home."
Ye Xingyuan was grateful, but he refused without thinking about it. He smiled and said, "Brother Tang's baby should be born, right? Since you are not in the court, you are free and easy, why bother with me to disturb this muddy water? You don't have to worry. This trip was willing to be done. I have made arrangements and are in danger."
Tang Shiyan sighed, "I had known that you had a brilliant idea and had your own reasons for your actions. Now that you have become a great scholar, you will be even more dangerous. I will turn back to Dinghu. If you have anything to do, I will send someone a message, even if you are thousands of miles away, I will arrive every once in a while."
Zhu Ning'er also wanted to go with her, but she wanted to stay in Beijing for the time being to preside over the construction of the Crow God Temple, and she couldn't get rid of it. Ye Xingyuan told her to be in the capital for the eyes and ears. If there was any news, she could only grit her teeth and respond.
