"Master!"
Li Wenbo said excitedly: "Guess what we saw today? Emperor Dayan!"
"..."
Lin Yi looked up and down at Li Wenbo, who had just gotten off work, and chuckled: "Outside Prince Teng's Pavilion, did you take a look from a distance?"
"Well?"
Li Wenbo looked at Lin Yi in astonishment.
Do you know this?
"The "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" is, after all, an article handed down from Ming Mansion. Emperor Dayan won't go there during the day, but he will definitely go there at night!"
Lin Yi had already guessed that Emperor Dayan would most likely go to Prince Teng's Pavilion.
As a Dragon Guard, Li Wenbo was maintaining order outside Prince Teng's Pavilion, so of course he would see Emperor Dayan.
But now he is just a small flag officer of the Dragon Guard. If he wants to get close to that person, his official status is obviously not enough!
"What does your Majesty look like? Do you see clearly?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"You can't see clearly. It's like there's a layer of mist on your face. It should be some kind of literary skill."
Li Wenbo didn't see Lin Yunhong's face clearly, but he felt something special. He looked Lin Yi up and down and said in deep thought: "We feel that the outline of His Majesty's back looks very much like a person..."
"What doesn't look like a human being?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.
"no!"
Li Wenbo quickly explained, circling around Lin Yi and said: "What we mean is that His Majesty looks very similar to the same person. Sir, if I say that His Majesty's silhouette is a bit similar to yours, would you believe it?"
He looked at Lin Yi.
"Like me?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said: "With so many people in the capital, there must be many with similar back profiles..."
"It's not that kind of resemblance, it gives us a very familiar feeling, just like if you put on the clothes worn by His Majesty, we all feel that you are His Majesty!" Li Wenbo said anxiously.
"Wenbo!"
Lin Yi quickly covered Li Wenbo's mouth and whispered: "Don't say these nonsense, be careful that walls have ears!"
Lin Yi was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
If Long Wei heard this, he would be charged with making irresponsible remarks about the monarch.
"Hmm~"
Li Wenbo's face turned pale and he nodded repeatedly: "By the way, in addition to His Majesty going to Prince Teng's Pavilion, I heard that the Holy Master of Zhenguo Holy Academy also went there, and he even praised him for saying that he is not alone in literature!"
"And when His Majesty left, we heard His Majesty smiling and talking about the good fortune of the Day. Your Majesty seemed to be very happy..."
Lin also smiled.
Emperor Dayan is very happy?
This is good news. At least after the provincial examination, the probability of meeting the other party can be increased.
As for the Holy Lord of Zhenguo Holy Court.
honestly.
Lin Yi traveled all the way from Anyang County and saw too many bad deeds of scholars, and he had no good impression of the Holy Academy.
Even if he wants to break through the realm now, the rules of the Holy Academy will make him sick.
Do you think it's annoying?
Therefore, Lin Yi did not have any good impression of the Holy Master of the Holy Court.
Of course, I still have a good impression of the Fifth Holy Son Zhong Zizheng and Fu Yuheng. If they join the imperial court and become hostile to the Holy Court in the future...
He must find a way to instigate Fu Yuheng and Zhong Zizheng!
It turns out that bad old man is very bad. At first, he wanted to stop him from inheriting Haoran's righteousness. Let's listen to Wen Tianxiang's righteousness song, it's awesome!
"I'm tired from being on duty today. Let's go back and rest early!" Lin Yidao.
"Okay, there is a skill test tomorrow, so I won't disturb you!"
After Li Wenbo finished sharing the news, he went back to his room to sleep.
"If I have a chance to see His Majesty later and hand over that list, Li Wenbo will most likely be promoted!"
Lin Yi murmured in a low voice with a smile on his face.
…
now.
In a house in the capital, a six or seven-year-old child huddled in the corner of the room, looking fearfully at the young man sitting on the chair in the room.
"Uncle, can you let me go home? Please, my mother will be worried if she hasn't seen me for so many days!"
The child asked with a pleading look on his face.
"go home?"
The young man sneered and said: "At this juncture, don't think about going back first. I don't want to fall into the hands of those court hawks!"
As he spoke, the young man's eyes became stern and he cursed: "A few losers, even the damn bachelors of the Holy Academy and Qingshan Academy, actually found the trail so quickly. Fortunately, the trail runs fast!"
"No wonder after that kid was taken to the Yamen prison, even Zhao Tai and Zhong Zizheng came to arrest him!"
The young man narrowed his eyes and said: "It turns out that he can write articles that will be passed down from generation to generation in Mingfu. Who wouldn't love such a talent in the Holy Court and the imperial court?"
"It's a pity that Zhong Wenhe, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, was killed by Emperor Dayan. What I don't understand is, why did the emperor kill Zhong Wenhe? The Zhenfu Department has no evidence at all. Why did Emperor Dayan kill him?"
"Qin Youtai, you have to hide that list!"
…
The next morning.
Huatian Mansion in the capital is more lively than before.
Scholars in the five cities, after the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" was circulated last night, are extremely concerned about today's technical test.
Everyone rushed towards the place where the technical test was taking place.
The location of the martial arts test is at the martial arts school in Beijing.
The school martial arts field, as the name suggests, is a venue for drills and competitions. The school martial arts field in the capital is under the jurisdiction of the Zhenfu Division.
Most of the time, the Dragon Guards of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Zhenfu Division conduct training and practice literary arts here.
As a Dragon Guard, he rarely practices other literary arts. He will choose a suitable sword technique from the Zhenfu Division's arsenal.
After all, Long Wei's cultural treasures are mainly Xiuchundao.
at this time.
The sky was still bright, and the scholars from the five cities in the east, west, south, north and central were all rushing to the martial arts field of the capital school.
Reproduce the scene of empty streets.
"I studied the Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion all night yesterday and benefited a lot. Today, Na Lin is also going to take the test. He wants to see what someone who can write such an eternal masterpiece is like!"
"The skills test is not very interesting. In the skills test of the rural examination, most of the candidates are in the first-level calligraphy realm. There is a second-level calligraphy realm. The first place is undoubtedly!"
"Are we concerned about the technical test? No! We just want to see Lin Yi's true face!"
They came not to observe the martial arts test, but to take a look at the great talent who wrote the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion".
After all, there is nothing interesting in the martial arts test. Use literary skills to attack the scarecrow, and judge the winner based on speed and power.
As time went by, more than a hundred people who passed the literary examination arrived at the school martial arts field one after another.
Accompanied by Zhang Jiuer, Lin Yi also entered the capital school martial arts field after checking his identity and looking at Long Wei with a look of little fanboy.
The school martial arts field provided a place to watch the ceremony. Zhong Zizheng, Fu Yuheng, Li Mobai and others who were in charge of the invigilation also arrived at the school martial arts field in advance.
Quietly waiting for the candidates to come.
At the same time, the rules of the martial arts test were also posted on the bulletin board of the school martial arts field.
This technical test will be different from the past. It will not be a fixed-point attack on a scarecrow or a wooden stake.
Instead...the candidates select opponents and engage in actual combat competition.
Adopt elimination system.
Those who fail to master literary skills will be directly eliminated and sent home. The winner will continue to fight without rest.
The final winner will win the first place in the technical examination.
And so on!
"That's it?"
After Lin Yi read the rules, he was stunned subconsciously.
However, the other candidates all stared at Lin Yi. They were already in pain, but they didn't expect the rules of this test to be so terrifying.
There is actually a real fight.
It is estimated that I will receive a lot of beatings, and I am afraid that my life will fail.
But Lin Yi's words were like a needle, piercing their hearts...
That's it?
Then go ahead!
"Yes...it's Academician Lin!"
One of the candidates recognized Lin Yi and immediately shouted like a fanboy, causing an uproar in the crowd.
Some people cast admiring glances, while others cast provocative glances eager to try.
after all……
If he could step on this celebrity in the capital in the technical examination, he would definitely be able to reach the sky in one step.
Just because your literary talent is good doesn’t mean your literary skills are also very high, right?
When thinking of this, many candidates who are quite confident in their literary skills are already trembling with excitement!
