King's favor is hard to do
Chapter 5-48
Grab it? "
"I don't blame you, I'm afraid. Yuzhang, I've searched all over the country, but I haven't found any trace of you. Originally, I might never set foot on this Pinggu Pass in my life. In that case, wouldn't it be impossible for us to go back to the Pinggu Pass for the rest of our lives?" reunion?"
"..."
"Yuzhang, think about it. This time, I want to see the peace talks that Yuzhang has been thinking about, and what results have been achieved, so I will visit you in secret. It is extremely difficult to meet you in the market. Even if it is just Due to the mistake of a moment, I am afraid that we will not be able to meet again until today. Even in this life, we are not sure whether there is a chance to meet again."
Li Guangning let out a breath slowly, turned his right hand over, and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.That tone really seemed like the aftermath of a catastrophe.
"Yuzhang, you said it yourself, you can't forget me in your heart. But in action, you are still so unfeeling. After listening to your words yesterday, and looking back on the past, I always feel like a lifetime away. You who are so stubborn and never look back, even once You refused to reveal any traces of your deeds. But last night you were so frank and unreservedly said those things to me...it turns out that it is all the same you."
"..."
"Sometimes when I think about it, I feel like I'm in a dream. Yuzhang, are you really not afraid that there will never be a reunion in this life?"
Du Yuzhang glanced sideways at Li Guangning.
"Not afraid."
"..."
Li Guangning suddenly felt that he was humiliating himself.
"Hey, Yuzhang, you still feel a little bit reluctant, don't you?"
"Your Majesty treated me so badly, so I don't want to be reluctant."
"..."
Li Guangning didn't know how to answer such a blunt sentence slammed into his face, and his arms loosened unconsciously.Du Yuzhang sat up, still looking out.Where Li Guangning couldn't see, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"...Then I won't treat you badly from now on."
The loose arms tightened again.Li Guangning pressed his chin into Du Yuzhang's shoulder, and his voice came out muffled.
"At that time, when I thought that I would never see Yuzhang again, I was afraid of death. Yuzhang, you can't leave my side, you must take me with you wherever you go."
These words are simply coquettish.Coupled with his nasal muffled voice, who would have thought that these words were actually spoken by the Emperor of Dayan?
"...Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, actually wants to be so pitiful."
"It's not pitiful, it's really pitiful. I miss Yuzhang every day, can't sleep at night, and have a splitting headache... Fortunately, Yuzhang is back now, otherwise, one day, I will miss it and die."
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!"
Du Yuzhang gave a low reprimand, and Li Guangning really shut up.Du Yuzhang stayed silent for a moment, then patted his hand.
"Your Majesty, take it easy."
"No."
"It's strangling my ribs, it hurts."
"..."
Li Guangning moved his arm, it loosened up a little, but still hugged him tightly.Du Yuzhang patted him again, and he let go a little more.
When Du Yuzhang patted him for the third time, he suddenly let go.
"Forget it, if you don't let me hug you, I won't hug you. Anyway, you don't look back after three years, so you're not as reluctant as I am. I wish I could grow on you."
After finishing speaking, Li Guangning let go of his hand, snorted, and turned his head.
Most people walk away when they are angry, wishing they could stay as far away from the one who made them angry.But Li Guangning was different, not only did he not move half a step back, but even the arm that was said to be "no more hugging" was still vacantly formed into a ring - except that he didn't hug him tightly, it was the same as before.From a distance, it is still an intimate hug.
"..."
Du Yuzhang didn't respond.Li Guangning stuck behind his ear, and "hummed" again from his nose.
The subtext of "I'm angry, hurry up to coax me" was written all over her face.
Du Yuzhang was speechless for a moment, he held Li Guangning's arms that were folded together with both hands, and lifted them up.He lowered his head and got out from Li Guangning's arms.Then he took a step forward, put his whole face in front of the car window, and looked at the scenery seriously.
"..."
If you can't act like a baby, your face will be refuted.This time, let alone coaxing, there is no more hugging.
Originally, with a thick skin, Li Guangning could "coax you if you don't come to coax me".But Du Yuzhang really didn't give any face to him, which made him a majestic King of Yan, he lost all face inside, no matter how thick-skinned he felt, it was a bit hot.
Li Guangning sighed softly, and sat in the same place embarrassingly.Picking up that book and reading it again, it feels boring again.In the end, he chose to close his eyes, pretending that he had fallen asleep, and the scene just now had never happened.
"His Majesty."
Du Yuzhang's voice was very soft.But Li Guangning's ears were pricked up, why couldn't he hear clearly?With a hook on his lips, he wanted to agree.
But no.Just now he lost all his face, so he has to find some place to come back.
Li Guangning didn't move.He planned to wait for Du Yuzhang to call him again before he answered with airs.
Who knows, after waiting for a long time, there was no second sound.Li Guangning couldn't lie still.He coughed and turned over slowly.If there were no steps, he would have to go down by making a step himself. He planned to pretend that he had just been woken up, and with a vague promise, he got up.
Before he could take action, Du Yuzhang spoke again.
"Your Majesty is right, I have never stepped into the territory of Dayan."
Li Guangning didn't move.He lay there and listened quietly.
"But I often climb up the mountain along the road to take a look at the city ahead."
……city?
"Is there anything special about that city?"
"nothing special."
Du Yuzhang still looked out of the window, and replied softly,
"It's just a small border town. It's not so prosperous and prosperous, and there's nothing worth seeing. The city is very small, and you can see the whole picture clearly from the hill. There is a main street in the middle, and there are some shops on both sides, all of which are small. The only The taller one is a restaurant and an inn, with several guest rooms on the upper floor. When the market comes, the street can be more lively, but it’s only the locals. When there is no market, there are even fewer people.”
"What's so good about this?"
"It's actually nothing to look at."
Du Yuzhang was a little lost in thought.Suddenly, he smiled,
"By the way, the ridge beasts on the roof of the county government office were all carved wrong, and turned into several pairs of stone lions. Your Majesty, do you think it's funny?"
"Spined Beast..."
Li Guangning was even more at a loss.The ridge beast is a mythical animal carved on the roof, which means auspiciousness and does have its own shape.This was originally a stonemason's housekeeping craftsmanship, but it is indeed a bit ridiculous to make a mistake.But Du Yuzhang is not such a person who likes to make fun of others, why suddenly...
Li Guangning's heart suddenly moved.He asked tentatively,
"It's not uncommon for such a small place to get it wrong. As long as you don't get too perfunctory during the festival and don't get all the ceremonies wrong, that's fine. Otherwise, this thing that Dayan has passed down for hundreds of years will be ruined. "
"That's not true. Chunyang Hongluan, Autumn Festival and Winter Ceremony, Shangyuan and Zhongyuan, and New Year celebrations, they are very serious. Although it is a small border town, the ceremony is simple, and the rituals and dresses are not so exquisite, but after all He is from Dayan. His roots are rooted in Dayan, so how could he be perfunctory?"
Li Guangning sat up slowly.He has figured it out.
A small town, really nothing to see.But houses, streets, festivals and fairs.
But that is the city built in Dayan, the people who were born in Dayan.
The folk house is the style that Dayan has not changed for more than a hundred years. Du Yuzhang grew up in this kind of house; the shop sells the clothes, snacks, shoes and utensils he was most familiar with.And those people, speaking his local accent, were his fellow countrymen and elders, the people he had spent the entire first half of his life protecting.
Who said he didn't miss Dayan or his homeland?
Does he stand silently on the mountain outside the city every festival?Alone, watching the excitement and joy of my compatriots.And he himself is like a wandering soul wandering outside, unable to return home.
Li Guangning sat up slowly and hugged Du Yuzhang from behind.
He followed Du Yuzhang's line of sight - outside the window, there were slices of golden wheat.
It is already autumn, and the harvest season is approaching for Dayan, a country founded by farming.They have entered the hinterland of Dayan and are passing a farm.The wheels are rolling, the roadside is the tumbling wheat waves, and the farmers are bending over and pulling up their trousers, working in the fields.
This is the most common sight of Dayan in autumn.
Looking at the drooping ears of wheat, Du Yuzhang's eyes were bent, with a gentle smile.
"Your Majesty, you see, this year will be a bumper year."
"Yes. The Western barbarians are very good at tempering steel knives. Asking them to make steel-edged farm tools is indeed much better than our original pig iron. If it is not for border trade with them, the crops here will not grow well. That's good."
Li Guangning is very concerned about the results of the trade with the Western Man, so he is very familiar with these,
"So this bumper harvest is also due to you, Du Yuzhang. Yuzhang, you have not been in Dayan these three years, but the people of Dayan still benefit a lot from you."
"Ah."
After another moment of silence, the two looked at the scenery in front of them together.The wind blew in their faces, smelling of earth and straw.There was a lot of dust, but neither of them closed the window.
"Jade chapter."
"Ok?"
"We won't go back to the capital for now. I'm going to take you around. Let's take a look at the mountains and rivers of Dayan, and hear about the people's livelihood and customs in various places."
Li Guangning hugged Du Yuzhang from behind.Feeling the man's lips gently slipping past his ear, Du Yuzhang smiled slightly and replied,
"it is good."
Li Guangning was a little surprised that he agreed so happily.
"I thought that you would definitely worry about the government affairs of the court and persuade me to go back and be a wise king. You can't delay the government affairs for fun, let alone neglect people's livelihood for love."
"Your Majesty will not."
When Du Yuzhang spoke, he was still staring out the window.It was obviously an ordinary farming scene, but he was so obsessed with it, as if he couldn't bear to take his eyes away.
"My majesty knows what he is doing. He will not disregard government affairs for the sake of fun, and he will not disregard people's livelihood just for love. My majesty is a wise king, of course I have to trust him."
"That's it."
Li Guangning smiled softly behind him.He also looked past Du Yuzhang to the busy harvest scene outside.
His dynasty, his great achievements, his majestic swallows, the vast territory, the magnificent rivers and mountains... are all in the clusters of wheat ears that fell to the ground with the sickle in the hands of the peasants.
A handful of food, a bowl of rice, a family, young and old, live and die together.The most ordinary people live in the vast land of Dayan.With them, there are those emperors, generals, and those touching joys and sorrows that you sing and I will appear on the stage.
"Yuzhang, I suddenly have an idea."
"What do you think? Tell me, Your Majesty."
"It's better not to go back to the capital. We can go to Yuling City..."
The car passed briskly, the wheels rolling forward.
The sound of their conversation was also drowned in the sound of the wheels turning, and it was hard to hear.But in the end, the car headed for Yuling City, and a good story left in history - "Commoner's Tour of Xinjiang" began.
Emperor Jing of the Great Yan, with the honor of ninety-five years, lightly cared about the common people, worked tirelessly, and personally traveled to every county in Dayan to investigate the pros and cons of the officialdom and the hardships of the people's livelihood.Then a series of imperial edicts flew to the desks of Han Yuan and Bai Jiaoran, the governor of the country like snowflakes, and quickly became a series of vigorous and vigorous government orders, using thunderous means to straighten out the officialdom, but nurturing the people's livelihood with the heart of a bodhisattva.This is one of the most admirable achievements in Li Guangning's life, the commoner patrolling Xinjiang.
But no one knows that when Li Guangning first made this decision, his thoughts were actually very simple - he wanted to take his good looks, his lover, and walk around Dayan's beautiful mountains and rivers, magnificent rivers and mountains together.He wanted the love in his heart not to be confined to a deep palace, like a tree kept in a flowerpot off the ground, carefully pruned to a prescribed appearance, and so many people commented on it.
He hoped that Du Yuzhang would be wanton and free.You can hold hands with him and step on the green grass under the bright sunshine.
——Of course, on this trip, they can also drop by to personally check the sufferings of the people and the warmth and well-being of the people.This is something that the emperors of previous dynasties could not do, but Li Guangning is different.
——In the hands of Li Guangning, there is a national supervisory institution that is about to take shape, and there are two trustworthy talents for governing the country.
—He can try it.
It's really just a temporary decision.At this moment, even Li Guangning himself could not have imagined that this temporary decision would quietly mark a starting point for the century-old revival of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The wheels were still moving forward, raising billows of smoke and dust.
The eternal prosperity that belonged to Emperor Jing of the Great Yan quietly kicked off the curtain on this inconspicuous little carriage.

【Thank you for being with me all the way. 】
【Korean Bai】wrong
"Your Majesty is leaving just like that?"
Deep in the grassland, Han Yuan was sitting in his tent, half leaning on the bed.He propped his head on one hand, raised his eyelids and stared at the little official in front of him.
"Returning to Lord Han, His Majesty has indeed left. Originally, he planned to return directly to the capital, and all the accompanying adults followed him on the road. But after not going far, everyone stopped for a rest, and His Majesty changed his mind. He asked Your lords returned to the capital according to the original plan, and I took some guards and went directly to the east."
"That's it. That's good, otherwise the identity of that person is indeed a problem."
Han Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.The little official who came to report the letter was about to retreat, but Han Yuan stopped him again.
"By the way, why don't you report the news to Mr. Bai?"
"Returning to Master Han, the younger one came from the Prime Minister. He reminded the younger one that this matter should be reported to Master Han."
"……yes."
Han Yuan pinched the center of his brows, and the corners of his lips twitched casually.It's obviously a smile, but it looks a little bitter.
"If it was in the past, I don't need to torment you again. He just told me by himself..."
These words seemed to be talking to himself, and the little official didn't know how to answer them for a moment.He has a low position and doesn't spend much time with Han Yuan Bai Jiaoran, and of course he doesn't know how the two were inseparable before, but now they haven't spoken a word for several days.
So I had to be silent.
The room was quiet for a moment, Han Yuan waved his hand,
"Go ahead."
"Yes, Master Han."
The little official Nuonuo agreed, but hesitated under his feet.Seeing that he was not leaving, Han Yuan asked in a low voice,
"Anything else?"
As Han Yuan said, he pinched his brows again and frowned.He endured the nausea that surged up—since he caught the wind and cold that day, he has been suffering from a low fever.Daily dizziness and nausea, unable to eat.But with so many official duties in front of him, only he and Bai Jiaoran are left to take charge of the overall situation, and he can't be lazy and rest.After procrastinating and procrastinating, the minor ailments also became a little serious.
It's just that he was originally in good health and could still hold on.Looking from a distance, except for the ugly face, it was still the frighteningly energetic Master Han Yuanhan.
"It's nothing...just...Master Han, are you sick?"
Han Yuan paused and raised his eyelids.He looked at the little official's timid expression, and asked softly,
"Could it be that someone asked you to inquire about me?"
"No... no."
The little official panicked and said hastily,
"I'm worried about you, Mr. Han, because you have a bad complexion. Just a question, please don't blame me, Mr. Han..."
"There's nothing to blame for that."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the little official felt that Han Yuan's voice suddenly carried some disappointment,
"I'm fine, but I'm tired and sleep less. You don't have to worry. It's nothing...it's..."
He squinted his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to speak.
"On the contrary, if you meet other adults, you can give me some advice. They come from the capital, no more than I have been from the Western Regions to the Western Man. They are not used to it, so don't be too tired. If you are sick, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines here, I'm afraid It would be very inappropriate."
After finishing speaking, he exhorted again,
"I said, do you remember?"
"Remember, Lord Han!"
"Well, let's go."
Han Yuan sighed softly when the little official passed by.
There was a stove in the room, but Han Yuan still felt a little cold.He wrapped his robe tightly and rubbed his forehead vigorously.He was really tired and unwell, and he really wanted to fall asleep without thinking about anything.
But on the desk, there are still documents half the height of a person.
Every copy cannot be ignored, and must be reviewed carefully.Just a few days, just two people.He shied away, afraid that these things would be piled up on that person's desk tomorrow.
That's it.
There were no fewer documents on his side than here.I'm afraid I'm still writing under the light at this moment.
Han Yuan sighed softly, kneaded his forehead again, and sat behind the desk.
"Come on, turn up the stove. Why is it so cold tonight?"
After speaking, he sat behind the desk.The attendant came in and replaced him with a brand new long candle—I don't know how late this night will be.To be prepared, it is better to have a long candle.
By the time everything was dealt with, it was already three o'clock at night.Han Yuan let out a long breath, and threw the brush that was still stained with ink on the table, splashing one side of the book, which was full of ink droplets.But he didn't care to tidy up, and fell directly on the bed beside him.
Wrapped in bedding, I didn't feel warm for a long time.Instead, his head became more dizzy, and he couldn't help coughing a few times.
——It seems that I really need to find a doctor to drink some soup.
Han Yuan wanted to find someone to call him, but hesitated.Because the accompanying doctors all came with Bai Jiaoran, and they were all stationed in Bai Jiaoran's camp.He was afraid that in the middle of the night, if he went to look for it with more fanfare, it would alarm Bai Jiaoran and cause him trouble.
Actually nothing.If it is usual, this kind of wind and cold will pass after one resistance.This time, I'm afraid that the two arrows on the battlefield hurt his vitality, and he didn't take good care of it.But I have always been in good health, so there shouldn't be any problems...
Occasionally a cough, and then a drowsy head.Although uncomfortable, but not to the point of intolerable.Han Yuan lay on the bed for a while, but finally fell asleep.
But for some reason, she dreamed of the time when she and Bai Jiaoran took the imperial examination together.
……
That was the day when the imperial examinations had passed and the results were about to be released.
"Brother Han!"
In the ruined temple, Han Yuan squatted on the ground, eating steamed buns and reading a book.Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on his lips, he quickly chewed the steamed bun in his mouth, and swallowed it hard.
Then he scooped out a spoonful from a bucket on one side and gulped it down.Then he wiped his mouth and stood up.
Bai Jiaoran just crossed the threshold and met him face to face.
Both stopped moving, looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Han, why did you come back again? My father said, I will tidy up a guest room for you at home, and you can just live in Baifu!"
"Tomorrow I'm going to watch the list, and I have to come back to get some clothes."
"But father has prepared clothes for you..."
"Teacher, he is naturally thoughtful. But I think it's better to wear your own clothes when you go to pick up the list."
Bai Jiaoran didn't quite understand what he was thinking, so she pouted a little and thought for a while.However, he was pure-hearted, and thought that Han Yuan probably didn't want to forget his roots...
"It's just, do you have to go get the list yourself? The list can be sent home..."
"My family is only an old mother, and I don't have the money to reward the person who sent the list. It's better to avoid it."
"This can also be sent to my house... You are my father's disciple, so there is no problem in giving the teacher the good news."
When Bai Jiaoran said this, his voice was a little lower.He looked at Han Yuan with some uncertainty, and asked softly,
"Han Yuan, do you have some opinions on my family? Is it... What did I do wrong that made you unhappy?"
"..."
Han Yuan just put on his only neat gown and straightened his clothes.He squinted at Bai Jiaoran, his lips curled up.
"How do you say that?"
"Otherwise, why don't you want them to send the list... You don't live in my house, you don't wear the clothes my father gave you. Could it be that you don't want outsiders to know that you are close to my house..."
"Ha, you said this."
Han Yuan straightened up and straightened his hem.
"My mentor has no confidence in me. He just thinks that I can be a Jinshi. There are more than a hundred people on the Jinshi list. His son and disciples are on the list together. It is a good story. It shows that he is a good teacher, and he is indeed a pillar of the country. A role model among civil servants. At that time, I will wear the clothes of your Baifu, and wait at the gate of your Baifu, waiting for the good news with gongs and drums in the academy.
When he mentioned "Mentor", there was no trace of reverence in his tone, but a bit of banter.But Bai Jiaoran didn't hear it, she just asked suspiciously,
"Is not it good?"
"Okay - the premise is that I am really a Jinshi who is not on the list dozens of times."
"Ah? But of course you can pass the Jinshi exam... You are so talented, it is impossible for you to lose your name."
"Of course I can't lose my name to Sun Shan. However, if the sons and disciples of your Baifu family take the No. [-] spot all at once, Jiaoran, what do you think the other examiners think?"
"..."
Bai Jiaoran was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and thought about it.
"Then I'm afraid, it's a bit too showy. In the past, there was no civil servant who could take over the top few. Originally, everyone was evenly matched, but if one family was too outstanding, it would cause a big sensation."
Bai Jiaoran doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he doesn't like the crowds in his family, they are all flatterers and gangsters.He frowned just imagining what would happen after his family got the No. [-] pick.
But after thinking about it, he shook his head and said,
"However, I don't think my test paper is that good. It shouldn't be a problem to say that it is in the top ten. But if it is said that it will definitely be in the top two, it is a bit exaggerated."
Han Yuan smiled when he heard this.
He hasn't read Bai Jiaoran's papers, but based on his discussion of literary theory with Bai Jiaoran in the past, he naturally knows that it is a bit modest to say that he can only be ranked in the top ten of this year's students.The students who were qualified to enter the final exam were all the children or disciples of dignitaries, and they were familiar with each other.With Bai Jiaoran in it, he can always rank within four or five.
But he is Bai Zhiyue's son.Who dares to squeeze him out of the top three?No, it's more than the top three... There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. Even if there is someone who is slightly better than him, they are all excellent articles in the first place, and there is no basis for telling the ups and downs at a glance.In this case, who dares to rank him behind?Why, are you dissatisfied with the majestic Lord Yushi Taibai, do you want to take revenge?
So Han Yuan was sure in his heart that Bai Jiaoran must be number one.
As for himself...
Of course, he is also in the forefront in terms of thesis alone, and there are only a few people who are comparable to him.But the insights in his writings are by no means comparable to those of those scholars who hang out in academies and restaurants every day and only hang around in official mansions!
After all, it is a talent show, and the selection is for those who want to do things, not just write articles.After all, the examiners have experienced ups and downs in their careers for decades, and they understand this truth.
So Han Yuan knew in his heart that regardless of his status, he should be the number one.But with Bai Jiaoran, I'm afraid he can only be ranked second.
——Of course, he is willing to lose to Bai Jiaoran.It's just that the two are both children of Bai Zhiyue's family, if they really show off so much, I'm afraid... some people will be ready to do something secretly.
[Han Bai's episode is long, I want to change the way of writing, try to knead many original short episodes together...the effect is unknown...just treat me as willful. 】
【Hanbai】Mistake [-]
"In short, everyone knows that you, Bai Jiaoran, are the son of your benefactor. You don't need to worry about other things, just enjoy the glory of being named on your gold list. As for me, I will keep a low profile and go directly to the academy to get the list. Being able to adapt.”
"Ah? But Han Yuan, what will happen?"
"...Who knows?"
The result was not what Han Yuan expected.Just outside the gate of his academy, before the gold list, someone was really fanning the flames.
When the two arrived outside the academy, there was already a sea of people at the door.At the gate of the academy stood a gold list with the height of two people. On the big red list, the names and hometowns of more than 100 students were written from top to bottom, and they were arranged in order according to their exam rankings.The names of the top 30 people are written in ink mixed with gold powder.This is the so-called "gold list" name origin.
It stands to reason that for such a big examination as the imperial examination, hundreds of people are selected in three years.In fact, those who can pass the exam are the dragons and phoenixes among the one in a thousand.But in the eyes of those who watched the excitement, those who ranked lower were basically invisible.As soon as the big red list was posted, everyone's eyes were only on the top [-].Of course, the most conspicuous among them are the top three—the No. [-] pick, No. [-] pick and No. [-] pick.
The entrance of the examination hall was overcrowded, but most of them were just watching the excitement.There are always very few people who can be named on the gold list.Most of them can only watch other people's high school Jinshi outside the examination hall, and then just drop a whole lemon.
Bai Jiaoran was actually a little nervous, his breathing was messed up, and he stood on tiptoe vigorously, but still he could only see the head, but not the gold list.
"Let's go a little further, Han Yuan, I can't see... what is the ranking?"
"You can not see it?"
Han Yuan calmed down and smiled.
"Would you like me to lift you up, and you can see it by sitting on my shoulders."
Relying on his height advantage, Han Yuan could read the words on the gold list clearly without stepping on his feet.Of course he can see that the first name of the leader is the three big characters of flying and dancing - Bai Jiaoran.
"How can I do that? I'm not a child..."
Bai Jiaoran was jumping up and down anxiously, but unfortunately his body has not grown up yet, he is still a young boy.Even if he jumped up vigorously, the back of his head turned into rows of crowns in front of his eyes, and he still couldn't see clearly.
"Come on, I'm tired. I'll help you."
"Hey, hey, brother Han? Don't... let me down!"
Han Yuan ignored him, put his arms around his waist, and lifted him into the air.Bai Jiaoran was flustered for a while, and he was relieved when he found that Han Yuan didn't intend to lift him up to sit on his shoulders.
"Did you see it?"
Han Yuan's laughing voice came from below,
"No.1, who is that?"
"..."
After waiting for a while, Bai Jiaoran made no sound.Han Yuan looked up and found that he was stunned, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe it.
It looked silly like that, but Han Yuan was in an inexplicably good mood when he saw it.He laughed "呵", and put Bai Jiaoran down.
"Congratulations to our new champion."
"Ah! Han Yuan! I saw you too...it's on the top...it's Tanhua..."
"is it?"
Han Yuan just glanced at the top of the list, and he was relieved that it was Bai Jiaoran.As for himself, he really didn't care much.
Tanhua.Although it didn't meet his own expectations, he didn't care too much.Maybe it's because there is a boss at the same level as Bai Zhiyue in this exam. Since No. 1 was given to his son, it's not good to let his disciple take the second place, so he must let others take a share.
The third is actually not bad.But Han Yuan was not too excited.For someone like him, he was too smart and ambitious, and it wouldn't be too difficult to do anything he wanted.As long as he is given a chance, he can grab it and climb up desperately.
For example, now that his mind has turned to this exam, how should he seize the opportunity and seek a meritorious official position.Work hard for several years, accumulate achievements, and then smoothly return to the officialdom in the capital.Relying on the Bai family, making friends, and then...
"The number one scholar is actually that Bai Jiaoran..."
Suddenly, a strange voice came from not far away, which caught Han Yuan's attention.
He squinted his eyes and looked in that direction, just as he saw a fat man with a greasy face speak.
"Sure enough, sure enough. When I heard that he participated this year, I would have known that the top three must have his name. I didn't expect that he would be so undisguised and directly won the number one prize..."
"My lord, where did you say that?"
Immediately, a helper with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks followed him to talk.
"Don't you know him?"
The fat man rubbed his non-existent beard,
"If you don't know him, you should know his father."
"Ah? Bai Jiaoran... surnamed Bai... Could it be Bai Zhiyue?"
The helper looked exaggerated, and his voice was a few degrees higher.Sure enough, it attracted the attention of some people around.
Han Yuan's face darkened and he sneered.He pushed Bai Jiaoran aside.
"Jiaoran, go to your carriage and wait for me."
"Those two people over there are talking about my family..."
Although Bai Jiaoran didn't think of people as sinister, it wasn't that he couldn't hear the tone of the tone was sly and malicious.He frowned, hesitantly,
"them……"
"Don't worry about them. Just wait for me."
Han Yuan rubbed the top of his head,
"No matter what happens later, don't come here."
"What... what will happen? Han Yuan, are you going to fight them?"
Bai Jiaoran was startled,
"Don't mess around. This is the entrance of the academy, where the sages and sages are spread! It's the day of the announcement, and there are many officials in charge. If you fight here, my father's face is not enough! You will be dismissed. You can no longer take the imperial examination! Don't be impulsive..."
"impulse?"
Han Yuan licked his lips and glanced at Bai Jiaoran.
"You have known me for so long, why have you ever seen me impulsive?"
This statement is very convincing.In Bai Jiaoran's eyes, Han Yuan has always been able to handle everything with ease, and he can handle everything properly while talking and laughing.So he reassuredly said,
"Well, I knew Brother Han had a deep gap in his heart. Then I'll wait for you, and come back as soon as you get the list. My father should still be waiting for you to announce the good news!"
"do not worry."
After getting a reply, Bai Jiaoran turned around and left.Han Yuan watched him climb into the carriage, the smile on his lips disappeared.
Behind him, the topic continued.
——"What, Bai Zhiyue's son? Isn't Bai Zhiyue an examiner for every imperial examination? His son happened to be the champion? Could it be..."
——"Oh, this kind of thing..."
--"Oh I see……"
——"Let me tell you, this person isn't particularly famous, so how did he become the number one scholar?"
——"Not famous? That's because our group of people who know how to study honestly don't know! He's in the circle of examiners, but he's very famous! Not only him, but Du Yuzhang, the number one scholar last time, also has a good father?"
——"Then you are wrong. Some of Du Yuzhang's fathers are not good fathers, but this... he and the one in the East Palace..."
——"Oh oh oh, so! So it depends on this! Tsk tsk, these officials and sons are really shameless!"
—— "I don't think this Bai Jiaoran is a good thing. I heard that he met a poor man a few days ago, seduced that man to eat out every day, and brought him home. It is said that that night that man Didn’t leave! Tell me, why is Mr. Bai pestering that kind of poor guy? I heard that the man has a bee waist and a monkey back, and he has a good waist. Tell me, what is he trying to do? Despicable, despicable... oh!"
Hearing this, Han Yuan's eyes seemed to freeze.Only then did he ensure that he would not be impulsive, took a step forward, and kicked him hard.
The fat man was frothing, but he was kicked on the back by someone.He lay on the ground like a dog chewing mud, and struggled a few times before getting up.
"Who is it?! Are you looking for death!"
Behind him, Han Yuan folded his arms and looked over coldly.
That look, as if looking at something dirty on the side of the road.
"roll."
"What did you say!"
The fat man became furious and got up from the ground to grab Han Yuan's collar.It's a pity that Han Yuan is tall, but he is short, and he can't hit Han Yuan's face when he jumps up.He stretched out his hand, and Han Yuan leaned back, avoiding his hand easily.The Greasy Young Master roared angrily, and took the next best thing, grabbing Han Yuan's lapel.
But Han Yuan raised his hand and pressed it directly on his face, pushing him away.
The two stalemate for a while.Han Yuan has long arms and legs, and a strong body. His five fingers spread out to grab his face, which is as firm and ruthless as iron tongs.
"I don't blame you, I'm afraid. Yuzhang, I've searched all over the country, but I haven't found any trace of you. Originally, I might never set foot on this Pinggu Pass in my life. In that case, wouldn't it be impossible for us to go back to the Pinggu Pass for the rest of our lives?" reunion?"
"..."
"Yuzhang, think about it. This time, I want to see the peace talks that Yuzhang has been thinking about, and what results have been achieved, so I will visit you in secret. It is extremely difficult to meet you in the market. Even if it is just Due to the mistake of a moment, I am afraid that we will not be able to meet again until today. Even in this life, we are not sure whether there is a chance to meet again."
Li Guangning let out a breath slowly, turned his right hand over, and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.That tone really seemed like the aftermath of a catastrophe.
"Yuzhang, you said it yourself, you can't forget me in your heart. But in action, you are still so unfeeling. After listening to your words yesterday, and looking back on the past, I always feel like a lifetime away. You who are so stubborn and never look back, even once You refused to reveal any traces of your deeds. But last night you were so frank and unreservedly said those things to me...it turns out that it is all the same you."
"..."
"Sometimes when I think about it, I feel like I'm in a dream. Yuzhang, are you really not afraid that there will never be a reunion in this life?"
Du Yuzhang glanced sideways at Li Guangning.
"Not afraid."
"..."
Li Guangning suddenly felt that he was humiliating himself.
"Hey, Yuzhang, you still feel a little bit reluctant, don't you?"
"Your Majesty treated me so badly, so I don't want to be reluctant."
"..."
Li Guangning didn't know how to answer such a blunt sentence slammed into his face, and his arms loosened unconsciously.Du Yuzhang sat up, still looking out.Where Li Guangning couldn't see, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"...Then I won't treat you badly from now on."
The loose arms tightened again.Li Guangning pressed his chin into Du Yuzhang's shoulder, and his voice came out muffled.
"At that time, when I thought that I would never see Yuzhang again, I was afraid of death. Yuzhang, you can't leave my side, you must take me with you wherever you go."
These words are simply coquettish.Coupled with his nasal muffled voice, who would have thought that these words were actually spoken by the Emperor of Dayan?
"...Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, actually wants to be so pitiful."
"It's not pitiful, it's really pitiful. I miss Yuzhang every day, can't sleep at night, and have a splitting headache... Fortunately, Yuzhang is back now, otherwise, one day, I will miss it and die."
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!"
Du Yuzhang gave a low reprimand, and Li Guangning really shut up.Du Yuzhang stayed silent for a moment, then patted his hand.
"Your Majesty, take it easy."
"No."
"It's strangling my ribs, it hurts."
"..."
Li Guangning moved his arm, it loosened up a little, but still hugged him tightly.Du Yuzhang patted him again, and he let go a little more.
When Du Yuzhang patted him for the third time, he suddenly let go.
"Forget it, if you don't let me hug you, I won't hug you. Anyway, you don't look back after three years, so you're not as reluctant as I am. I wish I could grow on you."
After finishing speaking, Li Guangning let go of his hand, snorted, and turned his head.
Most people walk away when they are angry, wishing they could stay as far away from the one who made them angry.But Li Guangning was different, not only did he not move half a step back, but even the arm that was said to be "no more hugging" was still vacantly formed into a ring - except that he didn't hug him tightly, it was the same as before.From a distance, it is still an intimate hug.
"..."
Du Yuzhang didn't respond.Li Guangning stuck behind his ear, and "hummed" again from his nose.
The subtext of "I'm angry, hurry up to coax me" was written all over her face.
Du Yuzhang was speechless for a moment, he held Li Guangning's arms that were folded together with both hands, and lifted them up.He lowered his head and got out from Li Guangning's arms.Then he took a step forward, put his whole face in front of the car window, and looked at the scenery seriously.
"..."
If you can't act like a baby, your face will be refuted.This time, let alone coaxing, there is no more hugging.
Originally, with a thick skin, Li Guangning could "coax you if you don't come to coax me".But Du Yuzhang really didn't give any face to him, which made him a majestic King of Yan, he lost all face inside, no matter how thick-skinned he felt, it was a bit hot.
Li Guangning sighed softly, and sat in the same place embarrassingly.Picking up that book and reading it again, it feels boring again.In the end, he chose to close his eyes, pretending that he had fallen asleep, and the scene just now had never happened.
"His Majesty."
Du Yuzhang's voice was very soft.But Li Guangning's ears were pricked up, why couldn't he hear clearly?With a hook on his lips, he wanted to agree.
But no.Just now he lost all his face, so he has to find some place to come back.
Li Guangning didn't move.He planned to wait for Du Yuzhang to call him again before he answered with airs.
Who knows, after waiting for a long time, there was no second sound.Li Guangning couldn't lie still.He coughed and turned over slowly.If there were no steps, he would have to go down by making a step himself. He planned to pretend that he had just been woken up, and with a vague promise, he got up.
Before he could take action, Du Yuzhang spoke again.
"Your Majesty is right, I have never stepped into the territory of Dayan."
Li Guangning didn't move.He lay there and listened quietly.
"But I often climb up the mountain along the road to take a look at the city ahead."
……city?
"Is there anything special about that city?"
"nothing special."
Du Yuzhang still looked out of the window, and replied softly,
"It's just a small border town. It's not so prosperous and prosperous, and there's nothing worth seeing. The city is very small, and you can see the whole picture clearly from the hill. There is a main street in the middle, and there are some shops on both sides, all of which are small. The only The taller one is a restaurant and an inn, with several guest rooms on the upper floor. When the market comes, the street can be more lively, but it’s only the locals. When there is no market, there are even fewer people.”
"What's so good about this?"
"It's actually nothing to look at."
Du Yuzhang was a little lost in thought.Suddenly, he smiled,
"By the way, the ridge beasts on the roof of the county government office were all carved wrong, and turned into several pairs of stone lions. Your Majesty, do you think it's funny?"
"Spined Beast..."
Li Guangning was even more at a loss.The ridge beast is a mythical animal carved on the roof, which means auspiciousness and does have its own shape.This was originally a stonemason's housekeeping craftsmanship, but it is indeed a bit ridiculous to make a mistake.But Du Yuzhang is not such a person who likes to make fun of others, why suddenly...
Li Guangning's heart suddenly moved.He asked tentatively,
"It's not uncommon for such a small place to get it wrong. As long as you don't get too perfunctory during the festival and don't get all the ceremonies wrong, that's fine. Otherwise, this thing that Dayan has passed down for hundreds of years will be ruined. "
"That's not true. Chunyang Hongluan, Autumn Festival and Winter Ceremony, Shangyuan and Zhongyuan, and New Year celebrations, they are very serious. Although it is a small border town, the ceremony is simple, and the rituals and dresses are not so exquisite, but after all He is from Dayan. His roots are rooted in Dayan, so how could he be perfunctory?"
Li Guangning sat up slowly.He has figured it out.
A small town, really nothing to see.But houses, streets, festivals and fairs.
But that is the city built in Dayan, the people who were born in Dayan.
The folk house is the style that Dayan has not changed for more than a hundred years. Du Yuzhang grew up in this kind of house; the shop sells the clothes, snacks, shoes and utensils he was most familiar with.And those people, speaking his local accent, were his fellow countrymen and elders, the people he had spent the entire first half of his life protecting.
Who said he didn't miss Dayan or his homeland?
Does he stand silently on the mountain outside the city every festival?Alone, watching the excitement and joy of my compatriots.And he himself is like a wandering soul wandering outside, unable to return home.
Li Guangning sat up slowly and hugged Du Yuzhang from behind.
He followed Du Yuzhang's line of sight - outside the window, there were slices of golden wheat.
It is already autumn, and the harvest season is approaching for Dayan, a country founded by farming.They have entered the hinterland of Dayan and are passing a farm.The wheels are rolling, the roadside is the tumbling wheat waves, and the farmers are bending over and pulling up their trousers, working in the fields.
This is the most common sight of Dayan in autumn.
Looking at the drooping ears of wheat, Du Yuzhang's eyes were bent, with a gentle smile.
"Your Majesty, you see, this year will be a bumper year."
"Yes. The Western barbarians are very good at tempering steel knives. Asking them to make steel-edged farm tools is indeed much better than our original pig iron. If it is not for border trade with them, the crops here will not grow well. That's good."
Li Guangning is very concerned about the results of the trade with the Western Man, so he is very familiar with these,
"So this bumper harvest is also due to you, Du Yuzhang. Yuzhang, you have not been in Dayan these three years, but the people of Dayan still benefit a lot from you."
"Ah."
After another moment of silence, the two looked at the scenery in front of them together.The wind blew in their faces, smelling of earth and straw.There was a lot of dust, but neither of them closed the window.
"Jade chapter."
"Ok?"
"We won't go back to the capital for now. I'm going to take you around. Let's take a look at the mountains and rivers of Dayan, and hear about the people's livelihood and customs in various places."
Li Guangning hugged Du Yuzhang from behind.Feeling the man's lips gently slipping past his ear, Du Yuzhang smiled slightly and replied,
"it is good."
Li Guangning was a little surprised that he agreed so happily.
"I thought that you would definitely worry about the government affairs of the court and persuade me to go back and be a wise king. You can't delay the government affairs for fun, let alone neglect people's livelihood for love."
"Your Majesty will not."
When Du Yuzhang spoke, he was still staring out the window.It was obviously an ordinary farming scene, but he was so obsessed with it, as if he couldn't bear to take his eyes away.
"My majesty knows what he is doing. He will not disregard government affairs for the sake of fun, and he will not disregard people's livelihood just for love. My majesty is a wise king, of course I have to trust him."
"That's it."
Li Guangning smiled softly behind him.He also looked past Du Yuzhang to the busy harvest scene outside.
His dynasty, his great achievements, his majestic swallows, the vast territory, the magnificent rivers and mountains... are all in the clusters of wheat ears that fell to the ground with the sickle in the hands of the peasants.
A handful of food, a bowl of rice, a family, young and old, live and die together.The most ordinary people live in the vast land of Dayan.With them, there are those emperors, generals, and those touching joys and sorrows that you sing and I will appear on the stage.
"Yuzhang, I suddenly have an idea."
"What do you think? Tell me, Your Majesty."
"It's better not to go back to the capital. We can go to Yuling City..."
The car passed briskly, the wheels rolling forward.
The sound of their conversation was also drowned in the sound of the wheels turning, and it was hard to hear.But in the end, the car headed for Yuling City, and a good story left in history - "Commoner's Tour of Xinjiang" began.
Emperor Jing of the Great Yan, with the honor of ninety-five years, lightly cared about the common people, worked tirelessly, and personally traveled to every county in Dayan to investigate the pros and cons of the officialdom and the hardships of the people's livelihood.Then a series of imperial edicts flew to the desks of Han Yuan and Bai Jiaoran, the governor of the country like snowflakes, and quickly became a series of vigorous and vigorous government orders, using thunderous means to straighten out the officialdom, but nurturing the people's livelihood with the heart of a bodhisattva.This is one of the most admirable achievements in Li Guangning's life, the commoner patrolling Xinjiang.
But no one knows that when Li Guangning first made this decision, his thoughts were actually very simple - he wanted to take his good looks, his lover, and walk around Dayan's beautiful mountains and rivers, magnificent rivers and mountains together.He wanted the love in his heart not to be confined to a deep palace, like a tree kept in a flowerpot off the ground, carefully pruned to a prescribed appearance, and so many people commented on it.
He hoped that Du Yuzhang would be wanton and free.You can hold hands with him and step on the green grass under the bright sunshine.
——Of course, on this trip, they can also drop by to personally check the sufferings of the people and the warmth and well-being of the people.This is something that the emperors of previous dynasties could not do, but Li Guangning is different.
——In the hands of Li Guangning, there is a national supervisory institution that is about to take shape, and there are two trustworthy talents for governing the country.
—He can try it.
It's really just a temporary decision.At this moment, even Li Guangning himself could not have imagined that this temporary decision would quietly mark a starting point for the century-old revival of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The wheels were still moving forward, raising billows of smoke and dust.
The eternal prosperity that belonged to Emperor Jing of the Great Yan quietly kicked off the curtain on this inconspicuous little carriage.

【Thank you for being with me all the way. 】
【Korean Bai】wrong
"Your Majesty is leaving just like that?"
Deep in the grassland, Han Yuan was sitting in his tent, half leaning on the bed.He propped his head on one hand, raised his eyelids and stared at the little official in front of him.
"Returning to Lord Han, His Majesty has indeed left. Originally, he planned to return directly to the capital, and all the accompanying adults followed him on the road. But after not going far, everyone stopped for a rest, and His Majesty changed his mind. He asked Your lords returned to the capital according to the original plan, and I took some guards and went directly to the east."
"That's it. That's good, otherwise the identity of that person is indeed a problem."
Han Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.The little official who came to report the letter was about to retreat, but Han Yuan stopped him again.
"By the way, why don't you report the news to Mr. Bai?"
"Returning to Master Han, the younger one came from the Prime Minister. He reminded the younger one that this matter should be reported to Master Han."
"……yes."
Han Yuan pinched the center of his brows, and the corners of his lips twitched casually.It's obviously a smile, but it looks a little bitter.
"If it was in the past, I don't need to torment you again. He just told me by himself..."
These words seemed to be talking to himself, and the little official didn't know how to answer them for a moment.He has a low position and doesn't spend much time with Han Yuan Bai Jiaoran, and of course he doesn't know how the two were inseparable before, but now they haven't spoken a word for several days.
So I had to be silent.
The room was quiet for a moment, Han Yuan waved his hand,
"Go ahead."
"Yes, Master Han."
The little official Nuonuo agreed, but hesitated under his feet.Seeing that he was not leaving, Han Yuan asked in a low voice,
"Anything else?"
As Han Yuan said, he pinched his brows again and frowned.He endured the nausea that surged up—since he caught the wind and cold that day, he has been suffering from a low fever.Daily dizziness and nausea, unable to eat.But with so many official duties in front of him, only he and Bai Jiaoran are left to take charge of the overall situation, and he can't be lazy and rest.After procrastinating and procrastinating, the minor ailments also became a little serious.
It's just that he was originally in good health and could still hold on.Looking from a distance, except for the ugly face, it was still the frighteningly energetic Master Han Yuanhan.
"It's nothing...just...Master Han, are you sick?"
Han Yuan paused and raised his eyelids.He looked at the little official's timid expression, and asked softly,
"Could it be that someone asked you to inquire about me?"
"No... no."
The little official panicked and said hastily,
"I'm worried about you, Mr. Han, because you have a bad complexion. Just a question, please don't blame me, Mr. Han..."
"There's nothing to blame for that."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the little official felt that Han Yuan's voice suddenly carried some disappointment,
"I'm fine, but I'm tired and sleep less. You don't have to worry. It's nothing...it's..."
He squinted his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to speak.
"On the contrary, if you meet other adults, you can give me some advice. They come from the capital, no more than I have been from the Western Regions to the Western Man. They are not used to it, so don't be too tired. If you are sick, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines here, I'm afraid It would be very inappropriate."
After finishing speaking, he exhorted again,
"I said, do you remember?"
"Remember, Lord Han!"
"Well, let's go."
Han Yuan sighed softly when the little official passed by.
There was a stove in the room, but Han Yuan still felt a little cold.He wrapped his robe tightly and rubbed his forehead vigorously.He was really tired and unwell, and he really wanted to fall asleep without thinking about anything.
But on the desk, there are still documents half the height of a person.
Every copy cannot be ignored, and must be reviewed carefully.Just a few days, just two people.He shied away, afraid that these things would be piled up on that person's desk tomorrow.
That's it.
There were no fewer documents on his side than here.I'm afraid I'm still writing under the light at this moment.
Han Yuan sighed softly, kneaded his forehead again, and sat behind the desk.
"Come on, turn up the stove. Why is it so cold tonight?"
After speaking, he sat behind the desk.The attendant came in and replaced him with a brand new long candle—I don't know how late this night will be.To be prepared, it is better to have a long candle.
By the time everything was dealt with, it was already three o'clock at night.Han Yuan let out a long breath, and threw the brush that was still stained with ink on the table, splashing one side of the book, which was full of ink droplets.But he didn't care to tidy up, and fell directly on the bed beside him.
Wrapped in bedding, I didn't feel warm for a long time.Instead, his head became more dizzy, and he couldn't help coughing a few times.
——It seems that I really need to find a doctor to drink some soup.
Han Yuan wanted to find someone to call him, but hesitated.Because the accompanying doctors all came with Bai Jiaoran, and they were all stationed in Bai Jiaoran's camp.He was afraid that in the middle of the night, if he went to look for it with more fanfare, it would alarm Bai Jiaoran and cause him trouble.
Actually nothing.If it is usual, this kind of wind and cold will pass after one resistance.This time, I'm afraid that the two arrows on the battlefield hurt his vitality, and he didn't take good care of it.But I have always been in good health, so there shouldn't be any problems...
Occasionally a cough, and then a drowsy head.Although uncomfortable, but not to the point of intolerable.Han Yuan lay on the bed for a while, but finally fell asleep.
But for some reason, she dreamed of the time when she and Bai Jiaoran took the imperial examination together.
……
That was the day when the imperial examinations had passed and the results were about to be released.
"Brother Han!"
In the ruined temple, Han Yuan squatted on the ground, eating steamed buns and reading a book.Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on his lips, he quickly chewed the steamed bun in his mouth, and swallowed it hard.
Then he scooped out a spoonful from a bucket on one side and gulped it down.Then he wiped his mouth and stood up.
Bai Jiaoran just crossed the threshold and met him face to face.
Both stopped moving, looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Han, why did you come back again? My father said, I will tidy up a guest room for you at home, and you can just live in Baifu!"
"Tomorrow I'm going to watch the list, and I have to come back to get some clothes."
"But father has prepared clothes for you..."
"Teacher, he is naturally thoughtful. But I think it's better to wear your own clothes when you go to pick up the list."
Bai Jiaoran didn't quite understand what he was thinking, so she pouted a little and thought for a while.However, he was pure-hearted, and thought that Han Yuan probably didn't want to forget his roots...
"It's just, do you have to go get the list yourself? The list can be sent home..."
"My family is only an old mother, and I don't have the money to reward the person who sent the list. It's better to avoid it."
"This can also be sent to my house... You are my father's disciple, so there is no problem in giving the teacher the good news."
When Bai Jiaoran said this, his voice was a little lower.He looked at Han Yuan with some uncertainty, and asked softly,
"Han Yuan, do you have some opinions on my family? Is it... What did I do wrong that made you unhappy?"
"..."
Han Yuan just put on his only neat gown and straightened his clothes.He squinted at Bai Jiaoran, his lips curled up.
"How do you say that?"
"Otherwise, why don't you want them to send the list... You don't live in my house, you don't wear the clothes my father gave you. Could it be that you don't want outsiders to know that you are close to my house..."
"Ha, you said this."
Han Yuan straightened up and straightened his hem.
"My mentor has no confidence in me. He just thinks that I can be a Jinshi. There are more than a hundred people on the Jinshi list. His son and disciples are on the list together. It is a good story. It shows that he is a good teacher, and he is indeed a pillar of the country. A role model among civil servants. At that time, I will wear the clothes of your Baifu, and wait at the gate of your Baifu, waiting for the good news with gongs and drums in the academy.
When he mentioned "Mentor", there was no trace of reverence in his tone, but a bit of banter.But Bai Jiaoran didn't hear it, she just asked suspiciously,
"Is not it good?"
"Okay - the premise is that I am really a Jinshi who is not on the list dozens of times."
"Ah? But of course you can pass the Jinshi exam... You are so talented, it is impossible for you to lose your name."
"Of course I can't lose my name to Sun Shan. However, if the sons and disciples of your Baifu family take the No. [-] spot all at once, Jiaoran, what do you think the other examiners think?"
"..."
Bai Jiaoran was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and thought about it.
"Then I'm afraid, it's a bit too showy. In the past, there was no civil servant who could take over the top few. Originally, everyone was evenly matched, but if one family was too outstanding, it would cause a big sensation."
Bai Jiaoran doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he doesn't like the crowds in his family, they are all flatterers and gangsters.He frowned just imagining what would happen after his family got the No. [-] pick.
But after thinking about it, he shook his head and said,
"However, I don't think my test paper is that good. It shouldn't be a problem to say that it is in the top ten. But if it is said that it will definitely be in the top two, it is a bit exaggerated."
Han Yuan smiled when he heard this.
He hasn't read Bai Jiaoran's papers, but based on his discussion of literary theory with Bai Jiaoran in the past, he naturally knows that it is a bit modest to say that he can only be ranked in the top ten of this year's students.The students who were qualified to enter the final exam were all the children or disciples of dignitaries, and they were familiar with each other.With Bai Jiaoran in it, he can always rank within four or five.
But he is Bai Zhiyue's son.Who dares to squeeze him out of the top three?No, it's more than the top three... There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. Even if there is someone who is slightly better than him, they are all excellent articles in the first place, and there is no basis for telling the ups and downs at a glance.In this case, who dares to rank him behind?Why, are you dissatisfied with the majestic Lord Yushi Taibai, do you want to take revenge?
So Han Yuan was sure in his heart that Bai Jiaoran must be number one.
As for himself...
Of course, he is also in the forefront in terms of thesis alone, and there are only a few people who are comparable to him.But the insights in his writings are by no means comparable to those of those scholars who hang out in academies and restaurants every day and only hang around in official mansions!
After all, it is a talent show, and the selection is for those who want to do things, not just write articles.After all, the examiners have experienced ups and downs in their careers for decades, and they understand this truth.
So Han Yuan knew in his heart that regardless of his status, he should be the number one.But with Bai Jiaoran, I'm afraid he can only be ranked second.
——Of course, he is willing to lose to Bai Jiaoran.It's just that the two are both children of Bai Zhiyue's family, if they really show off so much, I'm afraid... some people will be ready to do something secretly.
[Han Bai's episode is long, I want to change the way of writing, try to knead many original short episodes together...the effect is unknown...just treat me as willful. 】
【Hanbai】Mistake [-]
"In short, everyone knows that you, Bai Jiaoran, are the son of your benefactor. You don't need to worry about other things, just enjoy the glory of being named on your gold list. As for me, I will keep a low profile and go directly to the academy to get the list. Being able to adapt.”
"Ah? But Han Yuan, what will happen?"
"...Who knows?"
The result was not what Han Yuan expected.Just outside the gate of his academy, before the gold list, someone was really fanning the flames.
When the two arrived outside the academy, there was already a sea of people at the door.At the gate of the academy stood a gold list with the height of two people. On the big red list, the names and hometowns of more than 100 students were written from top to bottom, and they were arranged in order according to their exam rankings.The names of the top 30 people are written in ink mixed with gold powder.This is the so-called "gold list" name origin.
It stands to reason that for such a big examination as the imperial examination, hundreds of people are selected in three years.In fact, those who can pass the exam are the dragons and phoenixes among the one in a thousand.But in the eyes of those who watched the excitement, those who ranked lower were basically invisible.As soon as the big red list was posted, everyone's eyes were only on the top [-].Of course, the most conspicuous among them are the top three—the No. [-] pick, No. [-] pick and No. [-] pick.
The entrance of the examination hall was overcrowded, but most of them were just watching the excitement.There are always very few people who can be named on the gold list.Most of them can only watch other people's high school Jinshi outside the examination hall, and then just drop a whole lemon.
Bai Jiaoran was actually a little nervous, his breathing was messed up, and he stood on tiptoe vigorously, but still he could only see the head, but not the gold list.
"Let's go a little further, Han Yuan, I can't see... what is the ranking?"
"You can not see it?"
Han Yuan calmed down and smiled.
"Would you like me to lift you up, and you can see it by sitting on my shoulders."
Relying on his height advantage, Han Yuan could read the words on the gold list clearly without stepping on his feet.Of course he can see that the first name of the leader is the three big characters of flying and dancing - Bai Jiaoran.
"How can I do that? I'm not a child..."
Bai Jiaoran was jumping up and down anxiously, but unfortunately his body has not grown up yet, he is still a young boy.Even if he jumped up vigorously, the back of his head turned into rows of crowns in front of his eyes, and he still couldn't see clearly.
"Come on, I'm tired. I'll help you."
"Hey, hey, brother Han? Don't... let me down!"
Han Yuan ignored him, put his arms around his waist, and lifted him into the air.Bai Jiaoran was flustered for a while, and he was relieved when he found that Han Yuan didn't intend to lift him up to sit on his shoulders.
"Did you see it?"
Han Yuan's laughing voice came from below,
"No.1, who is that?"
"..."
After waiting for a while, Bai Jiaoran made no sound.Han Yuan looked up and found that he was stunned, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe it.
It looked silly like that, but Han Yuan was in an inexplicably good mood when he saw it.He laughed "呵", and put Bai Jiaoran down.
"Congratulations to our new champion."
"Ah! Han Yuan! I saw you too...it's on the top...it's Tanhua..."
"is it?"
Han Yuan just glanced at the top of the list, and he was relieved that it was Bai Jiaoran.As for himself, he really didn't care much.
Tanhua.Although it didn't meet his own expectations, he didn't care too much.Maybe it's because there is a boss at the same level as Bai Zhiyue in this exam. Since No. 1 was given to his son, it's not good to let his disciple take the second place, so he must let others take a share.
The third is actually not bad.But Han Yuan was not too excited.For someone like him, he was too smart and ambitious, and it wouldn't be too difficult to do anything he wanted.As long as he is given a chance, he can grab it and climb up desperately.
For example, now that his mind has turned to this exam, how should he seize the opportunity and seek a meritorious official position.Work hard for several years, accumulate achievements, and then smoothly return to the officialdom in the capital.Relying on the Bai family, making friends, and then...
"The number one scholar is actually that Bai Jiaoran..."
Suddenly, a strange voice came from not far away, which caught Han Yuan's attention.
He squinted his eyes and looked in that direction, just as he saw a fat man with a greasy face speak.
"Sure enough, sure enough. When I heard that he participated this year, I would have known that the top three must have his name. I didn't expect that he would be so undisguised and directly won the number one prize..."
"My lord, where did you say that?"
Immediately, a helper with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks followed him to talk.
"Don't you know him?"
The fat man rubbed his non-existent beard,
"If you don't know him, you should know his father."
"Ah? Bai Jiaoran... surnamed Bai... Could it be Bai Zhiyue?"
The helper looked exaggerated, and his voice was a few degrees higher.Sure enough, it attracted the attention of some people around.
Han Yuan's face darkened and he sneered.He pushed Bai Jiaoran aside.
"Jiaoran, go to your carriage and wait for me."
"Those two people over there are talking about my family..."
Although Bai Jiaoran didn't think of people as sinister, it wasn't that he couldn't hear the tone of the tone was sly and malicious.He frowned, hesitantly,
"them……"
"Don't worry about them. Just wait for me."
Han Yuan rubbed the top of his head,
"No matter what happens later, don't come here."
"What... what will happen? Han Yuan, are you going to fight them?"
Bai Jiaoran was startled,
"Don't mess around. This is the entrance of the academy, where the sages and sages are spread! It's the day of the announcement, and there are many officials in charge. If you fight here, my father's face is not enough! You will be dismissed. You can no longer take the imperial examination! Don't be impulsive..."
"impulse?"
Han Yuan licked his lips and glanced at Bai Jiaoran.
"You have known me for so long, why have you ever seen me impulsive?"
This statement is very convincing.In Bai Jiaoran's eyes, Han Yuan has always been able to handle everything with ease, and he can handle everything properly while talking and laughing.So he reassuredly said,
"Well, I knew Brother Han had a deep gap in his heart. Then I'll wait for you, and come back as soon as you get the list. My father should still be waiting for you to announce the good news!"
"do not worry."
After getting a reply, Bai Jiaoran turned around and left.Han Yuan watched him climb into the carriage, the smile on his lips disappeared.
Behind him, the topic continued.
——"What, Bai Zhiyue's son? Isn't Bai Zhiyue an examiner for every imperial examination? His son happened to be the champion? Could it be..."
——"Oh, this kind of thing..."
--"Oh I see……"
——"Let me tell you, this person isn't particularly famous, so how did he become the number one scholar?"
——"Not famous? That's because our group of people who know how to study honestly don't know! He's in the circle of examiners, but he's very famous! Not only him, but Du Yuzhang, the number one scholar last time, also has a good father?"
——"Then you are wrong. Some of Du Yuzhang's fathers are not good fathers, but this... he and the one in the East Palace..."
——"Oh oh oh, so! So it depends on this! Tsk tsk, these officials and sons are really shameless!"
—— "I don't think this Bai Jiaoran is a good thing. I heard that he met a poor man a few days ago, seduced that man to eat out every day, and brought him home. It is said that that night that man Didn’t leave! Tell me, why is Mr. Bai pestering that kind of poor guy? I heard that the man has a bee waist and a monkey back, and he has a good waist. Tell me, what is he trying to do? Despicable, despicable... oh!"
Hearing this, Han Yuan's eyes seemed to freeze.Only then did he ensure that he would not be impulsive, took a step forward, and kicked him hard.
The fat man was frothing, but he was kicked on the back by someone.He lay on the ground like a dog chewing mud, and struggled a few times before getting up.
"Who is it?! Are you looking for death!"
Behind him, Han Yuan folded his arms and looked over coldly.
That look, as if looking at something dirty on the side of the road.
"roll."
"What did you say!"
The fat man became furious and got up from the ground to grab Han Yuan's collar.It's a pity that Han Yuan is tall, but he is short, and he can't hit Han Yuan's face when he jumps up.He stretched out his hand, and Han Yuan leaned back, avoiding his hand easily.The Greasy Young Master roared angrily, and took the next best thing, grabbing Han Yuan's lapel.
But Han Yuan raised his hand and pressed it directly on his face, pushing him away.
The two stalemate for a while.Han Yuan has long arms and legs, and a strong body. His five fingers spread out to grab his face, which is as firm and ruthless as iron tongs.
