Chapter 960 Li Shenguang’s surrender

In the Gongyuan examination room, after Hong Yi's article was sealed, the scene of hundreds of saints singing together became peaceful.

The holy statues of the ancient saints have also returned to their former peace, and they look like ordinary clay sculptures of golden bodies. Yang Qian curled his lips after looking at it, a little disdainful of the behavior of these saints, it was really disgusting.

Emperor Qian also received a joint report from all the examiners, saying that it was Hong Yi's article, which resonated with the saints and shocked the saints. It was a grand event in the literary world that occurs only once in five hundred years.

Later, Emperor Qian issued an order to send Hong Yi's examination papers directly to Emperor Qian for review. After Emperor Qian took a look at it, he naturally made the next decree, directly appointing Hong Yi as the first Huiyuan, announcing that after the scientific examination results were released, he and many Jinshi would go to the Lingxiao Hall to become a saint.

This series of imperial decrees shocked all the ministers in the court. Although they were surprised, they felt that it was reasonable.

After three days of examinations, nine thousand candidates left the Gongyuan one after another, waiting for the results to be released later.

However, many people are already listless, because there is no suspense about the result of this exam. The emperor personally issued a decree and has selected Hong Yi as the first Hui Yuan. He is just waiting for the interview in the Golden Palace and the performance, and it is logical that he can become The top pick. There is no suspense at all, which really makes these movers feel frustrated. Of course, no one is dissatisfied with the article. The ancient scholars were shocked by the article. If you are not convinced, that would be treason and overturning the principles of the ancient scholars.

With the end of the exam, the shocking news among the hundreds of saints in the Gongyuan was also spread. Many aristocratic families, wealthy families, and scholars inside and outside the court were talking about this matter. Moreover, in the large and small teahouses in Jade City, storytellers, opera singers, and performers all talked about how Hong Yi was so brilliant in literature and wisdom, his articles were radiant, and he was so angry that he fought bulls. What's more, Hong Yi is said to be the Wenqu star in the sky who came to the world. The reincarnations of ancient scholars have everything, all kinds of strange things.

Suddenly, the entire Jade City was focused on Hong Yi, talking about East and West, which simply overshadowed Hou Yang'an, the most popular champion in public opinion some time ago.

Some time ago, the champion Hou Yangan defeated Yunmeng at sea, captured the Zhenguo fleet "Mengshen", beheaded 30,000 Yunmeng soldiers, and captured more than 20,000. His unparalleled achievements caused a sensation in Yujing City. , the power is powerful in both the government and the public.

But as soon as the incident about Hong Yi's article came out, the focus of public opinion immediately turned to Hong Yi. Because the grand events in the literary world in the past dynasties were much bigger than the military generals' expansion of territory. The reason is very simple. The right to speak in the world is in the hands of the scholar-bureaucrats. They naturally advocate the affairs of the literary world desperately and suppress the military generals at the same time.

However, the commotion in Jade City at this time did not affect the Jade Prince Yang Qian. He still studied and practiced martial arts every day and stayed in his palace. He never recruited Hong Yi because he had protected him. He treated him indifferently. Hong Yi's behavior is very puzzling.

Hong Yi originally thought that as he became a minor sage in the literary world, he would definitely get Prince Jade Yang Gan to extend an olive branch and pay a courtesy visit to him in person. If he was more modest, the two of them could form an alliance to fight against Prince Qi, Hong Xuanji and others. Now that he is a man, he can even use his huge reputation in Shilin at this time to recruit talents for him. However, Yang Qian has made no move, leaving Hong Yi at a loss. He secretly guessed whether the unfathomable Jade Prince really has any He doesn't care whether he succeeds in the throne or not, otherwise why would he neglect this sub-sage who is rare in five hundred years?

Yang Qian owns a Green Willow Villa in the suburbs of Beijing. Yang Qian usually rests in this village after an outing in the suburbs of Yujing City.

Recently, because Hong Yi became the Sub-Sage, the city of Yujing became somewhat noisy. He liked peace and quiet, so he moved to Green Willow Villa to stay for a while to avoid the noise.

Yang Qian was wearing a training suit. He moved his hands and feet in the back garden and practiced a set of boxing and kicking skills. His body became slightly warm and he stopped. Although he was not sweating, there was still a servant standing by and got on the towel. .

Yang Qian casually took the towel, wiped it casually twice, threw it to the servants, and waved for the servants to retreat. Only Yang Qian and the Minister of Rites who had just come to visit were left in the entire back garden. Li Shenguang.

Li Shenguang stood aside respectfully. When he saw Yang Gan finishing his martial arts practice, he came forward and spoke.

"Old minister, I pay my respects to the prince!"

Yang Gan stretched out his hand to signal Li Shenguang to stand up without being polite, then walked to the viewing pavilion in the back garden and sat down casually.

In the pavilion, the servants had already laid out tea and pastries. The teas were valuable and were collected by the palace. The pastry materials were also the best, and the craftsmanship was the work of the imperial chef. This was the time when Yang Gan cultivated the golden jade pearl rice. Later, when he left the palace and built a palace to build his teeth, Yang Qian specifically asked Emperor Qian for it. The chef's skills were excellent and suited Yang Qian's taste. Even in the imperial kitchen, his craftsmanship was one of the best. If Emperor Qian hadn't If he was in a good mood, Yang Qian wouldn't want this person.

Yang Qian poured himself a cup of tea, looked at Li Shenguang who was sitting upright, and poured him another cup of tea, indicating that he could taste it as he pleased without worrying about himself. Then he picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and picked up a piece of crystal clear pastry. , tasted it carefully, narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the comfort and comfort at this time.

Li Shenguang stared closely at the Jade Prince in front of him. He had never recognized the sage because of his poor eyesight before, and only regarded him as a reckless warrior. Now after careful consideration, he realized that every step that the Jade Prince Yang Gan took was... He is very stable. He seems to have offended many dignitaries and even refused to give face to the emperor, but his position is still stable. Among the princes, he is second only to His Highness the Crown Prince and is the only prince who enjoys a double salary.

Yang Qian finished the pastry in his hand, and then he looked at Li Shenguang in a leisurely manner and asked in surprise.

"Master Li, why don't you try this tea and cakes? They are all top quality. I like them the most!"

Li Shenguang bowed slightly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then replied.

"As expected, it is delicious. I have only drank this five-color cloud tea at His Majesty's place a few times!"

Yang Gan seemed very satisfied with Li Shenguang's reaction, nodded and said to Li Shenguang.

"Since Mr. Li likes it, I still have quite a few here. When you leave, ask your servants to fill a can for you!"

Li Shenguang quickly put down the tea cup and thanked him.

"Old sir, thank you for your kindness, but it would be disrespectful to refuse!"

Yang Gan looked at Li Shenguang, who was not polite at all, with a flash of understanding and appreciation in his eyes, nodded and said.

"We are all members of our own family. Master Li, of course you don't have to be polite. I don't like vulgar etiquette. There is no need to be so rude in the future!"

Li Shenguang glanced at Yang Qian, smiled at each other, and nodded, indicating that he understood.
