There is no airtight wall in the world. The examiners sent a copy of the admission list to greet each other's relationships. I don't know which channel it was leaking. Gradually, some news came out.

At noon, the restaurant in the Yiren City Yuzui Township was still booming, and the guests were full. In the old seat by the window on the second floor, Qin Qiong and others were silent and drinking silently. Shan Xiongxin had just received some news that none of them were admitted.

‘Bang!, with a dull sound, Shan Xiongxin punched the table hard, his eyes were red with anger. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully: “I, Shan Xiongxin, rode a ten-thousandth test. I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I dare not say that all the eighteen weapons are good. At least I have worked hard on the sword and spear, and my Zaoyang spear. My master said that I can rank among the top ten in the world, but I failed. Those mediocre and incompetent people, who drink all day long, can be nominated for the gold list. I can’t swallow this cowardly!"

His brother Shan Xiongzhong sighed and said, "Actually, when Yuan Qing compared the arrows that day, when I saw the children of aristocratic families who had taken tens of thousands of years, I knew that we had no chance. Xiongxin, this world is so dark. It has been hundreds of years. The aristocratic families are always high and we poor families will never have a chance. This time, we were too naive and thought the court really wanted to choose talents fairly. Now how could it be possible?"

Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting opposite, also said angrily: "I, Cheng, understand that the world is unfair, but they have done too much. Brother Qin has a very good exam, and his martial arts are even more famous in Shandong. This requires the lowest score in his weapon exam to make Brother Qin lose his name."

"Yaojin, stop talking!"

Qin Qiong drank a glass of wine and said in a deep voice: "I, Qin Qiong, lost this time, and I recognized it!"

Shan Xiongxin glanced at him and sneered: "Shubao, if you know the reason why you really failed the exam, you wouldn't recognize it."

"Do you know?" Qin Qiong looked at Shan Xiongxin in surprise.

Shan Xiongxin nodded, "I spent thirty dollars today... I bought a lot of news, including the reason why you failed the exam, I just can't bear to tell you.

"What are you telling me the reason? Is it related to the last incident of King Qi?"

Shan Xiongxin snorted with a nose... shook his head, "It has nothing to do with that matter. I asked. There is a line of words under your exam. This person is not morally irrelevant."

‘Crack!, the wine glass in Qin Qiong’s hand was pinched into pieces by him. Qin Qiong actually lost his morality, and anger appeared in Qin Qiong’s eyes... “I understand, it’s Yuwen Shu’s fake!”

"Yes, it's just that he erased your admission."

Yang Yuanqing's voice suddenly came from behind everyone. Everyone turned around and saw Yang Yuanqing standing behind them with a smile on her face.

"Yuan Qing, why are you here now? Sit down!"

Shan Xiongxin gave up a seat... and found an empty cup to pour him a glass of wine, and asked with concern: "Where is Niu Niu? Why don't she come?"

"She is a little uncomfortable and is resting at home!"

Yang Yuanqing sat down with a smile... and drank a glass of wine first, then said to everyone: "Don't count on this martial arts scholar. There are many important officials involved and will not retake the exam again. Let me talk to you about your future future!"

Several people were silent. After a moment, Shan Xiongxin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't plan to join the army anymore. I have a friend who recommends me to join the county government as Gongcao. If it weren't for this martial arts, I'd already agreed... Anyway, when I go back this time, I'm going to join the county government to be an official. My brothers are all following me, and my elder brother will continue to be his owner."

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's better not to mention me when you are in the county government."

Shan Xiongxin was stunned and then woke up. Yang Yuanqing told him that the magistrate of Shangdang County was his brother Yang Jun. They had a bad relationship, and it was a bad thing to mention him.

Shan Xiongxin nodded, "I understand!"

"What about Brother Qin?" Yang Yuanqing turned to ask Qin Qiong again.

Qin Qiong sighed, "What else can I do? Let's continue to join the army in Yingzhou. It is good for me to come to the governor, but Yingzhou is a little far away and it is inconvenient to take care of my mother."

Yang Yuanqing took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, "My master Zhang Xutuo is currently the Sima of Jeju. If you go to find him, he will arrange a position for you. You can stay in Jeju and take care of your mother."

Qin Qiong was stunned, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly surged in his heart. Yang Yuanqing had considered his own way of retreat. He silently accepted the letter, "Yuanqing, I, Qin Qiong, remember the kindness of the capital.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, "Yuanqing, I will go to Dali City with you, I will carry my mother over and settle down there."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Don't go to Dali City, your mother will not adapt to the severe cold there, so you can just follow Brother Qin. He has a good popularity in Shandong and has a wide range of ways. You will have more chances with him. In addition, I mentioned you in the letter, and my master will also arrange a position for you. If you do your best, we will definitely get together if we have the chance in the future."

Seeing that Yang Yuanqing's expression was serious, he didn't seem to be joking with him, and he no longer smiled, and nodded silently.

"alright!"

Yang Yuanqing clapped his hands and smiled: "Everyone has finished talking about the future. Let's explain what happened tomorrow. I have something to do and ask everyone for help."

Everyone laughed together, "Yuan Qing, if you have anything to say directly, do you still have to mention the word 'help,'"

Yang Yuanqing lowered his voice and said to everyone: "I have received the definite news. The General of the Emperor of the Chaozhou Association reviewed the list of military recruitment. I want to take the opportunity to make things worse."

At dusk, Yang Yuanqing appeared at the gate of Yang's mansion. He slowly approached the gate of the mansion. Several servants immediately became panicked and retreated one after another. More than 20 people stood on the steps, holding a knife in their hands, staring at him vigilantly.

Yang Yuanqing bowed and smiled, "Don't panic. I won't take any further steps in this mansion. Please inform me of my grandfather and say I have something to come to him."

The servants looked at each other, and one of them immediately turned around and ran in. After waiting for a while, a carriage stopped behind him.

"Yuan Qing!"

When Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw his grandfather Yang Su sitting in the car window with a smile, waved to him. He hurried forward to salute, "Grandson meets grandfather."

"I'm going to visit an old friend. Are you going to enter the Yang Mansion?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I'm here to find my grandfather."

"Then come up! Let's talk as we walk."

Yang Yuanqing handed the horse to Yang Su's guard and got on the carriage. A little book boy sat at the door of the carriage. Yang Yuanqing smiled and sat down against the window on the other side.

"Your matter should be done well!" Yang Su asked with a smile... He took a few days off and his physical condition improved slightly, and his face became much rosy.

"It's still relatively smooth. The emperor already believes that Yuwen Shucao's martial arts practice... Does my grandfather need me to tell you the details?"

Yang Su shook her head, "You do the things yourself, I'm just giving you some guidance on the advance and retreat in the officialdom."

"Then I won't talk about my grandson. I want to ask my grandfather about his official career."

Yang Su was very willing to ask his grandson for advice and smiled and said, "You said! This is actually very subtle - one point will lead to thicker, one point will lead to thiner... It really takes a little skill to pinch it just right."

"My grandson wants to ask, where is the degree of rebellion and troublemaking?"

"Your question is a bit difficult to answer!"

Yang Su smiled and said, "According to my experience, it is nothing more than a matter of quantity and distance. The number is the number of people. Ten thousand scholars attack the yamen, and it is also a troublemaker. There is no question of rebellion... But 500 martial artists gathered together to discuss, which is rebellion. Similarly... If 500 martial artists gathered next to the army, it is still a troublemaker. But if they gathered on the mountain, it is rebellion. Yuan Qing, do you understand what I mean?"

Yang Yuanqing felt something, "The key to my grandfather's meaning is the feeling of the government."

"That's right!"

Yang Su smiled at his grandson's cleverness, "Actually, it's just looking at the government. If the government feels that he can control the situation... it's causing trouble. If the government feels that he may not be able to control the situation, it will be a rebellion, because once it is a rebellion, the government can shirk responsibility, and in fact it can be extended... If the emperor thinks that he can control you, it's okay for you to do something out of order. If the emperor thinks that he can't control you, and if you act rashly, he won't spare you. This is a matter of degree. To put it bluntly, it's actually the feeling of the superior."

Yang Yuanqing nodded. He understood. He asked again: "There is another thing. Didn't my grandfather say that I should do this well. The emperor will give me an extra reward. My grandson wants to ask, what reward should I want?"

Yang Su smiled slightly and waved to him, "Come on your ear."

Yang Kuangqing leaned forward, Yang Su whispered a few words in his ear, and Yang Yuanqing nodded repeatedly, "The grandson understands."

The next morning, Yuwen Zhiji took more than a hundred servants to Liren City. Today he took a rest. If it were normal, he would take a few friends to Pingkangfang to look for flowers and willows, but today he had important things.

The Yuwen family has more than a dozen shops in the city and Liren City, each rented to merchants. The rent was originally collected every six months, but the recent news of moving the capital to Luoyang made Yuwen Shu uneasy, so he decided to sell some of the shops in Liren City.

The price had been negotiated, but the other party asked the merchants in the shop to move away, but the lease period had not yet arrived and the merchants refused to move. Yuwen Shu decided to forcibly drive away the merchants who rented his shop, and the task was handed over to his third son Yuwen Zhiji.

Yuwen Zhihe led more than a hundred masters Ding Haohao to Liren City, two or three miles away from Liren City. The martial arts candidates living nearby received news and gathered at the gate of Liren City. They did not bring weapons and held wooden sticks in their hands. Everyone was filled with incomparable anger.

Overnight, the news about the Wu Jue Cao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao

At the gate of Liren City, there is a square covering an area of ​​about three acres. There are dozens of taverns and inns around the square. The square is crowded and bustling. Merchants selling goods, customers buying goods, porters hired by their owners, artists playing hundreds of plays, beggars begging for food, and people from all walks of life gather here, making this place a bustling and prosperous people's square.
