After handing over the leather whip and the Immortal Binding Lock, Yu Jiaolong glanced at Zhang Xiu, who was bewildered, and left with gritted teeth.
Zhang Xiu was left alone, looking at the two magic weapons in his hands with a complicated expression: "This... is as kind as me, but the more you look at me, the less and less I feel like a serious person..."
When Yan Feng and Xuantian heard this, they couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "@#￥%￥#@..."
I'm afraid you have some deep misunderstanding about yourself! !
Soon, a prompt sounded, breaking Zhang Xiu's silence.
[God has the virtue of good life, you successfully released the Jade Dragon, and you will be rewarded with five hundred years of binding experience]
Zhang Xiu: "..."
This is even more inappropriate, isn’t it? !
Zhang Xiu stamped her feet angrily, then looked at the white tiger spirit lying on the ground beside her, and said angrily: "Yu Jiaolong is like this, please get out of here!"
Bai Hu carefully glanced at Zhang Xiu with an aggrieved look on his face. He didn't know what he had done wrong for being so well-behaved. He stammered: "I won't leave. If you follow the immortal leader, you will have your own chicken butt..."
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he became furious and said angrily: "Do you think you are Yan Feng? Are you a tiger spirit? You are eating a hairy chicken butt!"
Yan Feng: "..."
But, I really don’t like eating chicken butts! !
No matter how Zhang Xiu drove him away, the white tiger spirit decided that following Zhang Xiu would have meat to eat and he could become an immortal.
Zhang Xiu yelled for a while, and after resting for a while, he sighed helplessly and said depressedly: "Forget it, there is already a shameless old cow anyway, and there is no shortage of your stupid cat, even if you don't Stupid, you can release it to scare people..."
The white tiger spirit suddenly became energetic, stood up and said: "Immortal, I am good at scaring people! A group of passers-by came from the mountain before, and walked past my door with swords, guns and sticks. I was so scared that they even took bows and arrows. Unsteady, he shot tens of thousands of arrows at me, and in the end my hands were shaking with fear!"
Zhang Xiu: "..."
This group of pedestrians you are talking about...they are obviously here to hunt you! !
Zhang Xiu discovered for the first time in his life that goblins could be so stupid, and he was so tired that he didn't want to say a word.
Staring at the white tiger spirit in front of him, he was silent for a while and then said: "Since you want to follow me, then change your name. From now on, you will be called Feng Chu."
The white tiger spirit was in a daze for a while: "Why do you call me Feng Chu? I am not a Phoenix Spirit either?"
Zhang Xiu glanced at the little Aoxue who was poking the conch with a small wooden stick and looking happy. He took a deep breath and said, "Because there is already a Wolong beside me..."
When Zhang Xiu looked at the people around him, speechless, suddenly, a eunuch came from a distance on horseback and shouted loudly from a distance.
"Uncle Guo, today at the meeting, the Holy Sage will reward the new scholars, and you are waiting for one. Please follow me into the palace to meet the Holy Sage..."
After a while, the eunuch who was sweating profusely came forward with a bitter look on his face, turned over and dismounted, bowed to Xuantian Tianzhen, the national preceptor, and then said with a wry smile: "Uncle, why did you come to this slow-coitus field? Your Majesty I and the ministers have been waiting for you for most of the day!"
Zhang Xiu was slightly startled, then quickly reacted, his eyes lit up and he said: "The emperor wants to make me the dean?!"
Little eunuch: "@#￥%￥#@......"
This... I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet!
The corner of his mouth twitched, and the little eunuch explained, dumbfounded: "I'm afraid it won't work for you to be the dean. According to the custom, the number one scholar in a new subject is usually appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy... This position is usually from the sixth rank official position. If it were you, Uncle Guo, you would at least be a full-ranked official of the sixth rank!"
Zhang Xiu suddenly showed a lack of interest and complained: "What kind of reward is this? Can the food in the Hanlin Academy be better than that in the academy..."
When the young eunuch heard this, he glanced at him with a strange expression and said hesitantly: "The food in Hanlin Academy is made by the chef of the Imperial Kitchen. It should be better than that in Luzhou Academy, right?"
"Feng Chu, set up the divine wind of samadhi and send me to the palace to meet the saint!!"
As soon as a righteous and awe-inspiring shout rang out, a demonic wind blew up from the ground, and the white tiger spirit and Zhang Xiuzhanyan disappeared before his eyes, leaving the little eunuch in a daze of horror.
Could it be that the rumors of the ministers in the DPRK are all true... is the uncle in front of me really a monster? !
The palace hall.
The emperor, who had been playing in Rouge Lane for a day, was sitting on the dragon chair. He felt tired and ate cakes while waiting for Zhang Xiu to doze off.
The ministers stood in the hall for a long time without being given any food by the emperor. They looked at the emperor eating cakes with hungry stomachs and hated Zhang Xiu as the culprit in their hearts.
The rewards after the imperial examination usually start with the number one scholar in the new subject. Now that the number one scholar does not come, the rewards will naturally not be continued.
Before this, who would have thought that for such a big event, a new top pick could be late? They had never heard of such a thing since history!
Amidst the angry and helpless sighs of all the ministers, a burst of cheerful singing floated along the wind.
"I left my home to be the dean. Who would have expected that I would be ranked number one on the imperial list? I would wear a red robe and wear a palace flower on my hat. It's so fresh."
As soon as the words "so fresh" came out, Zhang Xiu ran in from outside the hall in disheveled clothes, and said with excitement: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I'm late. I've lost my way on the road of life. If your Majesty wants to take offense, the whole court will do it." You can kill any one of us, civil or military, but I, Mr. Zhang, will have no objections!"
Ministers: "@#￥%￥#@......"
You have nothing to say, but we do, we do! !
With all the civil and military officials in the court looking furious, the emperor came back to his senses, laughed a few times, and looked at Zhang Xiu with admiration: "You are worthy of being my new top scholar. He is so bohemian and well-spoken. He has great potential." What an ancient gentleman!”
"..."
Prime Minister Pang Tong's cheeks twitched hard, and he said in his heart, please don't insult the word "gentleman". If all the gentlemen in ancient times were like this, I, Mr. Pang, would be the first to betray Confucianism and break all ties with them from now on. ! !
After appreciating the ugly faces of the ministers, the emperor raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, glanced at Zhang Xiu, and slowly said: "According to my decree, Zhang Xiu, the number one scholar in the new department, is granted the title of editor of the Hanlin Academy and concurrently as a member of the household department. …”
Before he finished speaking, Pang Tong came out of the queue with a face as cold as frost, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, no!"
The emperor frowned slightly. Although he had expected that the traitor would hinder him from presenting Zhang Xiu, he never expected that he would be so straightforward.
Just as he was about to say the words he had prepared in advance, Prime Minister Pang Tong said with a serious face: "The number one scholar is a genius, a editor of the Hanlin Academy, and a member of the household department, and he is not worthy of the talent of the number one scholar! "
"My minister Pang Tong is not talented. I would like to recommend the number one scholar to be the prefect of Jinhua. Please accept your Majesty's approval!"
The emperor was shocked. Pang Tong promoted Zhang Xiu from the sixth grade to the fourth grade with just one sentence?
Why is this traitor so crazy today? Could it be that his head was caught in the door when he went out? ?
After being stunned for a moment, the emperor came to his senses, nodded slightly and said, "Since the prime minister likes the number one scholar so much, I will reluctantly part with him, make him the prefect of Jinhua, and send him to the capital."
After the words fell, Pang Tong and the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, shouted long live together, bowed and saluted: "The Holy One is wise!"
The Jinluan Palace was in a happy mood, and everyone looked like a wise and virtuous king. Only Zhang Xiu, gnashing his teeth, looked around the civil and military officials of the court, and said with an indignation: "You have really gone to great lengths to prevent me from living a comfortable life. Hey, do you think you can stop me? I’ve decided on this Hanlin Academy. As I said, even the Buddha can’t stop me!
You all just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will come back! "
When the ministers heard this, they all took a deep breath, and their faces suddenly looked horrified——
This is not necessary! ! !
Even Pang Tong has begun to think in his heart, even if the Hanlin Academy is moved outside the capital, it seems that it is not impossible? ?
